Insurance cash still in limbo

Court says man who bludgeoned, stabbed wife to death not entitled to $50,000 payout A Toronto man stood to collect $50,000 from an insurance company after his estranged wife was slain in 2006. The only problem was he was the one who had brutally bludgeoned and stabbed her to death. Scotia Life Insurance Company agreed to pay Ved Dhingra the policy benefit because a court ruled he wasn’t criminally responsible for the killing. Now, a higher court says he can’t have the payout, leaving the cash in court-held limbo. In 2008, a Newmarket court found that, although Dhingra caved in his wife’s head with a religious statue and stabbed her repeatedly in her Richmond Hill home, he wasn’t responsible for her 2006 death because he suffered from schizoaffective disorder. Dhingra, who was confined

But his son, Paul, administrator of his mother’s estate, challenged the insurance company’s decision to pay his father the death benefit and asked that it go to the estate. Lina Dhingra said yesterday her father would appeal the ruling. She said her father never wanted the policy money for himself, but wanted to split it between her and her brother Paul’s three children. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Report opposes new rules for frat houses COLIN MCCONNELL/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Annex fraternities and their wary neighbours should continue to work out their problems on their own, city staff say in a report that opposes new licensing rules. Coun. Adam Vaughan had asked the city to come up with a licensing plan after residents who live near a cluster of University of

Toronto fraternity and sorority houses complained of unruly late-night parties and other nuisances. The licensing department said blitzes could be conducted to enforce existing rules. But it argued against imposing new ones. It said it cannot license fraternities as businesses or rooming houses. And it said

the community’s own efforts to improve the situation “hold the promise of a grassroots solution.” Vaughan agreed. He said neighbours’ complaints are “way down” in the past year, as “the fraternities and sororities have taken responsibility for the behaviour of their members.”

Special Investigations Unit dispatches team to probe shooting that left a second man dead An exchange of gunfire during a raid on an apparent crack house has left a central Ontario police officer recovering in a Toronto hospital and another man dead. Const. Keith Calderwood, who was shot while executing a drug warrant yesterday morning in Lindsay, was in stable condition at St. Michael’s Hospital. Calderwood, 37, is a seven-year veteran of the Peterborough police force and a father of three. “This was a bad day for our service,” Peterborough police Chief Murray Rodd said at a news conference in Lindsay. “We’re very thankful our member is in stable condition.” The shooting occurred at around 11:20 a.m. as Kawartha Lakes police and the Peterborough Lakefield Police Service were conducting a criminal investigation at an apartment.

Five people have been taken into custody and the coroner has been called in. Police officials from Lindsay and Peterborough wouldn’t provide many details of the drug raid or the man who was shot and killed, because it’s in the hands of the SIU, but neighbours said the home was a drug den. “It is definitely a crack house,” said resident Brenda Bradshaw, 52. “You see stuff happening in and out of there all the time, and the riff-raff coming in at all hours of the night.”

Trustees vote down school running track MARKHAM. The plan for Markham District High School will go ahead as is — meaning no running track — but a final vote will be held next month, says the York Region District School Board.

Trustees and staff, in a private committee meeting Tuesday night, decided to endorse the status quo, despite the strong objections of students, parents and community members. Before the school was rebuilt, the site had a cinder track that was used by students and community members. The track team at Markham District has gone from one of the best in the province to among the worst. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Look like a million bucks, really

COURTESY THE RONALD REAGAN LIBRARY

Some of Princess Diana’s dresses are up for auction at Waddington’s tonight Highest value: $1 million PHOEBE HO

TORONTO@METRONEWS.CA

Owning a piece of history can come with a hefty price tag. Fourteen of Princess Diana’s dresses, with an estimated value ranging from $175,000 to $1 million per dress, are up for sale to the highest bidder at Waddington’s auction house in Toronto tonight. According to collection owner Maureen Dunkel, Toronto’s large base of royal enthusiasts played a major role in her decision to auction the dresses in the city. “We know Canadians are still very excited by royal subject matter, then we found out that William and Kate are travelling here and it just all seemed to line up,” said Dunkel. “Maureen chose Toronto because on the world tour she took the dresses on for three years, Toronto had the highest attendance,” said Vince Ciarlo, a public relations consultant at Waddington’s. The 14 dresses,

purchased June 25, 1997 — just eight weeks before Princess Diana’s death — have been showcased around the world. According to Dunkel, the 14 dresses, out of the 79 in the auction, cost her approximately $870,000. While selecting from the wide range of dresses at Christie’s New York, Dunkel specifically chose the ones that depicted the style transformation of the late princess. “I methodically chose pieces which represented Diana’s ‘look’ as the future Queen of England … from the early ’80s through to the late ’90s,” Dunkel said in a press release. Dunkel said a lot of time and effort had been invested in touring the dresses. “It’s a very big project and it was something that was great. But, quite frankly, it’s time to do something else,” she said. “You either tour these dresses or put them away in a closet or storage somewhere and that’s not the right thing to do, so it’s just time.”

In this Nov. 9, 1985, photo, actor John Travolta dances with Princess Diana, wearing a long, formal dinner dress of blue silk velvet by designer Victor Edelstein at a White House dinner. It’s one of the 14 dresses up for auction at Waddington’s. She also danced with Neil Diamond and Clint Eastwood that night.

Raise parking fines, Ford says

Bollywood. Chic

The City of Toronto Act requires a minimum fine of $300 for those parked in a handicapped spot DAVID COOPER/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Mayor Rob Ford has blasted a city staff suggestion to reduce fines for drivers who park in handicapped spots, saying fines should instead go up and violators towed. “The fine should go up. If you park in a handicapped spot, the fine should be up as high as possible,” said Ford. “If people park in handicapped spots, I’d even go farther and tow them away. Because it’s so frustrating when you see people that are handicapped and there’s some healthy person running into a doughnut shop or running in getting a coffee, and these people are waiting. It’s not right. And I see it almost every day.” Staff recommended dropping the fine for parking in a handicapped space to $300 from $450 to bring Toronto’s fines in line with the rest of Ontario, said city spokesperson Justine Kintanar.

Last year, 11 11% per cent of the nearly 2.8 million parking tickets issued by the city went to trial.

Coun. Pam McConnell

Coun. Pam McConnell said while a $450 fine is a deterrent, $300 may encourage drivers to “throw the dice” and chance taking a handicapped spot. “It’s really a matter of access,” she said. “For people with disabilities this is their front-door entrance to restaurants, to homes, to daycares, to all kinds of places where they would be unable to get to

without this particular reserved parking.” Steven Christianson of the March of Dimes expressed surprise at the recommendation, which is contained in a report that will go to the government management committee June 28. “We’ve always advocated for an increase (in fines),” Christianson said. “If the city is looking for cash, these are the people you want to go after.” City staff said the reduction would “bring Toronto’s fine structure more in line with other Ontario municipalities while continuing to act as a deterrent to parking illegally in disabled spaces.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Mayor Rob Ford sparks furor by choosing cottage over city’s big parade But Doug Ford says, ‘We’ll see’ STEVE RUSSELL/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Mayor Rob Ford says he has ruled out marching in the Pride parade. But has he really? His brother, Coun. Doug Ford, says they might both be at the event. Yesterday, Rob Ford was asked if he plans to be at the Pride parade, which was attended by his predecessors David Miller, Mel Lastman and Barbara Hall. “I’m going up north, no. I’ll be up at the cottage,” Ford replied — sparking a wave of criticism. “We’ve been in Huntsville for the past 30 (years), as long as I remember, since I’m a little boy.

We always used to go up north to our cottage and I’m carrying on the tradition that my father had.” But Doug Ford says they might both be at the event. “I’m possibly going to

try to make it back for Sunday (July 3),” when hundreds of thousands of revellers will march. Doug Ford added: “We have 20-odd people going up to our cottage for Canada Day, but if I can make it back I will — and we’ll see if I can bring Rob.” Pride co-chair Francisco Alvarez said of Rob Ford’s refusal: “We’re disappointed — there’s certainly a nice tradition of mayors appearing in our events.

NDP MP pushes for vote to starve Senate funding SEAN KILPATRICK/THE CANADIAN PRESS

New Democrats would like to see the Senate abolished altogether Forget about reforming the Senate, an NDP MP wants to starve the upper chamber. Pat Martin said he planned to use a procedure during a budget vote yesterday that would force MPs to vote specifically on the Senate’s funding. The Commons approves $60 million in Senate spending annually through a vote on the budget’s main estimates, roughly half of the red chamber’s total operating budget. “Like a siege of a medieval castle, if you cut off the supply lines you’re going to starve them out.

Artist silent after release from Chinese detention NG HAN GUAN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Renowned artist Ai Weiwei, the most high-profile target of a sweeping crackdown on activists in China, returned home late yesterday after nearly three months in detention. Looking tired and thinner, he said the conditions of his release meant he could not talk. The official Xinhua News Agency said Ai confessed to tax evasion, accusations his family had long denied and which activists had denounced as a

false premise for detaining him. He has spoken out strongly against the ruling Communist Party, and his family and supporters say he was being punished for speaking out about the communist leadership and social problems. Ai, who had been taken away April 3, walked through the gate of his suburban home studio shortly after 11 p.m. with his mother and wife. He said his health was

fine and thanked reporters for their support outside his studio, but said he could not speak further. “I’m sorry I can’t (talk), I am on probation, please understand,” Ai said in English. The conditions appeared to extend also to Ai’s family, although his mother told reporters she was relieved to see him again. “I’m so happy that my son is back,” Gao Ying said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ai Weiwei opens the gate to his home yesterday after returning from detention in Beijing, China.

Outcry The outspoken artist’s detention had sparked an international outcry, with the United States and other countries saying it was a sign of China’s deteriorating human rights situation. That condemnation, along with Ai’s party connections as the son of one of China’s most famous poets, had convinced authorities to strike a deal with Ai on his release.

U.S. sets Afghan exit strategy

Cyber-security experts and defence officials agree, cyber war will be a part of any future conflict

Minister of Foreign Aairs John Baird, right, and Minister of Defence Peter MacKay speak to reporters yesterday in the foyer of the House of Commons regarding documents relating to Canadian-transferred detainees in Afghanistan. SEAN KILPATRICK/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Tories release Afghan docs The Conservative government released 4,000 of some 40,000 classified documents yesterday, reviving longdormant questions about whether Canadians knew the prisoners they handed over might be tortured in Afghan jails. The Tories say that brings the matter to a close. The Harper government nearly fell in late 2009 over claims it was turning a blind eye to abuse.

U.S. President Barack Obama has signed executive orders that lay out how far U.S. military commanders around the globe can go in using cyber attacks and other computer-based operations against enemies as part of routine espionage in other countries. The orders detail when the military must seek presidential approval for a specific cyber assault on an enemy and weave cyber capabilities into U.S. war fighting strategy, defence officials and cyber-security experts told The Associated Press. Signed more than a month ago, the orders cap a two-year Pentagon effort to

draft U.S. rules of the road for cyber warfare, and come as the U.S. begins to work with allies on global ground rules. The guidelines are much like those that govern the use of other weapons of

war, from nuclear bombs to missiles to secret surveillance, the officials said. In a broad new strategy document, the Pentagon lays out some of the cyber capabilities the military may use during peacetime and conflict. They range from planting a computer virus to using cyber attacks to bring down an enemy’s electrical grid or defence network. “You don’t have to bomb them anymore. That’s the new world,� said James Lewis, cyber-security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The entire strategy has not been released. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Beginning to wind down a long and devastating war, U.S. President Barack Obama announced last night he was pulling home 33,000 troops from Afghanistan by next summer, withdrawing the “surge� of forces he had sent to rescue a flailing effort. Said Obama to a country eager for an exit: “The tide of war is receding.� A total of 10,000 troops will leave the war zone by the end of this year — fulfilling Obama’s promise — and more than 20,000 additional forces will leave by the summer of 2012.

Riots in Belfast blamed on Protestant militia Area affected by the rioting is one of more than 30 parts of Belfast where high barricades separate Irish Catholic and British Protestant turf PETER MORRISON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Police in Northern Ireland yesterday blamed an outlawed Protestant paramilitary group for starting two nights of rioting that saw hundreds of masked youths hurl bricks, bottles and gasoline bombs and left three people with gunshot wounds. A photographer was shot in the leg during the unrest in the Short Strand, a small Catholic community in a predominantly Protestant area of east Belfast. The Press Association agency said its photographer was in stable condition at Royal Victoria Hospital. The agency did not release his name. Other journalists on the scene said a youthful gunman

“A small minority of individuals ... will not be allowed to drag us back to the past.” NORTHERN IRELAND’S FIRST MINISTER’S DEPUTY, MARTIN MCGUINNESS

had shot at photographers covering Tuesday night’s violence. Police said about 400 people were involved, from both sides of the sectarian divide, but that Irish Republican Army dissidents were responsible for the gunfire. Masked and hooded youths threw bricks, bottles, fireworks and other missiles at each other, and

at armoured police vehicles. Police fired more than 60 plastic bullets at the marauding youths. Police Assistant Chief Const. Alistair Finlay blamed the Ulster Volunteer Force, a group that declared a ceasefire in 2009 and said it had disarmed. “Their hands are upon this, whether by direction, by omission or commission,” he said.

When food is scarce, Sylvia only has tortillas with salt to take away the hunger. The terrible truth is that every five seconds, a child under 5 dies from malnutrition or preventable diseases.

Sectarian tensions typically flare in the build-up to July 12, a divisive holiday when tens of thousands of Protestants from the Orange Order brotherhood march across Northern Ireland. Last summer, more than 80 police officers were wounded during four nights of riots in Catholic districts of Belfast. This year’s violence is among the most intense in years, but confined to a small and historically tense area of Belfast. Police said the violence started Monday when masked members of the UVF attacked Catholic homes with bricks, fireworks and smoke bombs.

Dutch set to ban religious slaughter of animals Dutch lawmakers are set to ban centuriesold Jewish and Muslim traditions of slaughtering animals, but agreed yesterday to a last-minute compromise offering religious groups exemptions, if they can prove their method of killing livestock does not cause additional suffering. Centrist lawmakers from several parties — worried that their backing for the ban will cost them votes from Muslim and Jewish supporters — hammered out the compromise shortly before a final debate on the legislation.

57 al-Qaida militants break out of Yemeni jail

At least one guard was killed and another wounded, officials say Escapees’ terrorist cell blamed for killing two Belgian tourists in 2008

Nearly 60 suspected al-Qaida militants tunnelled their way out of a Yemeni prison in the lawless south yesterday, deepening the chaos of a nation where protesters are trying to topple the autocratic regime. The escape from the Mukalla prison in Hadramout province is the latest sign that Islamic militants are seizing on the mayhem to operate more freely — something the U.S. fears will become an increasing international threat if the impoverished nation grows even more unstable. Hundreds of Islamic militants have also taken control of two southern

towns in recent weeks. The jailbreak in the early hours yesterday harked back to one in February 2006, when 23 al-Qaida militants broke out of a detention facility in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital. They included Nasser al-Wahishi, who went on to become the leader of the Yemenbased al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which Washington says is already the terror network’s most active branch. Yemeni security officials said the escapees included two Syrians, two Saudis and 16 members of an al-Qaida cell blamed for at least 13 terror attacks. A growing al-Qaida threat would deepen the

crisis shifted to armed street conflict between troops loyal to Saleh and rival tribal fighters. The president of nearly 33 years was badly wounded in an attack on his Sanaa compound earlier this month, and his departure for medical treatment in neighbouring Saudi Arabia has failed to break the deadlock. The unrest also has significantly worsened conditions for most Yemenis, whose lives had been difficult even before the start of the unrest in February. Most now suffer from an acute shortage of drinking water, lengthy power cuts and soaring food prices.

Yemen home to cleric with links to Texas shooting An impoverished Arab nation on the southern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen is also home to U.S.born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, whom the United States has put on a kill-orcapture list. Washington accuses him of inspiring attacks on the U.S., including the 2009 shooting at a military base in Fort Hood, Texas, that killed 13 people. Yesterday’s carefully choreographed escape could only deepen Washington’s concerns and maybe prompt it to step up its military operations against militants in Yemen. Senior U.S. diplomat Jeffrey Feltman was visiting Yemen yesterday and met with Vice-President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

100% PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL A

Designer on trial for anti-Semitic slurs John Galliano charged with ‘public insults’ Could face six months in prison and $32,175 US in fines THIBAULT CAMUS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

John Galliano arrives yesterday at the Paris courthouse.

Former Dior designer John Galliano took the stand yesterday and testified that he remembers nothing about allegedly using antiSemitic slurs at a Paris cafĂŠ due to his “triple addictionâ€? to alcohol, barbiturates and sleeping pills. Charges that the outspoken British designer insulted several patrons of a Paris cafĂŠ with anti-Semitic remarks shocked the fashion world and cost Galliano his job at the renowned French high-fashion house. Presiding Judge AnneMarie Sauteraud asked about the evening of Feb. 24, 2011, when Galliano allegedly derided a couple with anti-Semitic insults. Galliano repeatedly said he remembered nothing. “I have a triple addic-

tion. I’m a recovering alcoholic and a recovering addict,� he said when asked why his memory was blank. He said he started drinking in 2007 and became addicted to alcohol, barbiturates and sleeping pills. “After every creative high, I would crash and the alcohol helped me,� he said, adding that his creativity “helped make Dior a billion-dollar business.� Asked why he didn’t tell police investigators about his addictions, Galliano responded: “I was in denial. I was still taking those pills and alcohol, and I was in complete denial.� A sobriety test on the night in question showed he was drunk.

Country now faces tight deadline to pass new austerity measures in order to receive bailout funds

One vote down, a tougher one ahead: The Greek government survived a confidence vote yesterday but has barely a week to get new austerity measures passed by parliament to avoid a potential default. European leaders breathed a sigh of relief but kept up the pressure on Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, who faces a vote June 28 to push through more spending cuts, tax hikes and asset sales. Still, fearing the financial chaos that any Greek default would ignite, EU leaders promised Papandreou additional funds to help the shrinking Greek economy get back on its feet. Greece’s creditors, particularly its partners in the

17-country eurozone, are demanding that Papandreou get parliamentary approval for $40.24 billion US in budget cuts and new taxes and for a $72-billion sell-off of government assists by the end of June. Only then will they hand over $17 billion in bailout funds that Greece needs to avoid bankruptcy in mid-July. A default could drag down Greek and European banks, endanger the finances of other weak eurozone countries such as Portugal, Ireland and Spain, and spark financial uncertainty across world markets. German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that a default would have “completely uncontrollable” consequences on the finan-

cial markets, but she insisted that private creditors should voluntarily share the pain of a second Greek bailout. The mood in financial markets was calm after the confidence vote yesterday, especially when compared to the firestorm last week when Papandreou’s government was teetering on the brink following violent protests against the new austerity measures. Papandreou still needs to convince several of his own Socialist lawmakers to support the austerity measures. At least one deputy, Alexandros Athanasiades, said he would vote against them due to objections about selling off state assets. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LEFTERIS PITARAKIS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Greek riot police officers charge protesters yesterday at Syntagma square in front of the Greek parliament in central Athens during minor scuffles following a peaceful rally against plans for new austerity measures. Demonstrators camped outside parliament since May 25.

Promised funding still yet to be released Of the $29 billion US in development funds budgeted to help Greece catch up with the richer regions in the 27-nation EU between 2007 and 2013, only $7 billion has actually been paid out. The rest is still sitting unused as Greece struggles to show it can come up with matching funds. Officials from the IMF, the European Commission and European Central Bank who have been overseeing Greece’s financial reforms were in Athens to discuss the new austerity measures. Greece is being kept financially afloat by a $157billion package of bailout loans granted by other eurozone countries and the IMF, while implementing strict austerity measures in return.

SURGING CONDO MARKET CAN’T Sales at 26,000 units over the year Demographic demand suggests it should be 14,000 to 15,000: Expert Analysts have been sounding warning bells for more than a year that the market for condominiums in Toronto is being seriously overbuilt. But so far, sales and prices have been chugging merrily upward. According to the Building, Industry and Land Development Association, last month was the best May ever for sales. Highrise sales are up by a staggering 50 per cent in May to 2,433 sales. On a year-to-date basis, total new home sales in the GTA are running 12 per cent ahead of last year, but that’s purely on the back of condominiums, since low-rise sales are down from last year. “Those highrise sales are extremely high and above normal demographic levels, suggesting there

“The economy is in a recovery and a lot of the jobs are focused on downtown, but even in a healthy economy I don’t know if those numbers would be supported.” WILL DUNNING,

is a lot of investor activity,” said Toronto housing analyst Will Dunning. In Toronto — where average home prices are $485,000 — prices are at 6.7 times the average household income com-

pared with 4.3 times income in 2001, according to BMO Capital Markets. Capital Economics has warned of a bubble in the Canadian housing market and that a decline of up to 25 per cent in price over the next three years is not out of the question. Investors buy an estimated 45 to 60 per cent of all new units according to market research firm Urbanation Inc. One issue for investors is that while prices are rising, rents have barely budged, making it more difficult to see positive cash flow on their investments. If investors are unable to cover their expenses they will pull out. An influx of Asian buyers from China and Hong Kong have helped to buoy the Toronto market. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Boom sustainable, say some observers

main in “balanced” territory, neither favouring buyers nor sellers. The Toronto market, which saw prices increase by 8.5 per cent year over year in May, is experiencing tighter than normal listings, it said. Listings are down by about 20 per cent in May compared with a year earlier, creating upward pressure on pricing, said board economist Robin Wiebe.

Some analysts have said the condo building boom is sustainable, mainly because of a structural shift in the market. There is a shortage of new low-rise housing in urban areas, which forces buyers into towers. And for some buyers, highrise living is now a much more acceptable lifestyle choice. According to the Conference Board of Canada, most Canadian markets re-

DUST BUNNIES MAKE GOOD PETS, THOUGH My parents are visiting soon, which is exciting because it means I have to clean my apartment. JOHN MAZEROLLE That’s an unprecedented METRO opportunity. Like an athlete playing for a championship, this livealone bachelor will stand with a wash bucket filled to the brim with determination and think, “Chances like this come but once in a lifetime.” You might assume that if I wanted my apartment to be clean I could fix it up any time I want, but it’s not that simple. First of all, my apartment gets messy without my knowledge. I’m not sure how it happens, but I’ll leave the odd book lying around, a stray load of laundry, a whole roast chicken and — bam! — my apartment is messy. It’s not a big place, my apartment, but it has ninja skills and sneaks up on me. An example: Just months ago, I had a typical bachelor fridge — one bottle of ketchup and a box of baking soda. But now, inexplicably, it’s packed. Not with edible food, but with homemade Accidental Soup, newly cre“First of all, my ated dried fruit, and products stamped with exapartment gets piry dates that evoke nostalmessy without gia. I don’t know which my knowledge. came first, but the chicken I’m not sure how died of old age before these eggs were eaten. it happens, but My second problem is I’ll leave the odd that I’m a guy. I don’t know how many book lying times women have warned around, a stray me that their apartment is load of laundry, an “absolute mess.” Then a whole roast we step inside and there’s an open magazine and half chicken and — a glass of red wine. If I lay bam! — my my eyes on either, they run apartment over to remove it as if I had just discovered a human is messy.” head. Guys go through the absolute mess spiel, too, but we mean it. A glass and a magazine would not qualify. More likely we would consider that suitably sterile for a kidney transplant. A bit messy might involve ketchup stains on the wall and chomped cigar bits on the floor. An absolute mess would involve livestock. But here’s the thing: I want my apartment to be clean. I often do clean, but it always seems to be at the surface level — the top third of the dirty clothes get washed over and over, while the bottom two-thirds are left only with unfulfilled dreams. With my parents arriving soon, I finally have the driving force I need to see what lies at the bottom of the hamper. Unless my parents read this and decide to stay somewhere nicer, such as a gas station bathroom. Don’t show them this, please. I’m not ready to come clean just yet.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth mentioning LONDON. A handgun once owned by gangster Al Capone sold for nearly $110,000 US yesterday at an auction in London. The Colt .38 revolver was manufactured in 1929, the year of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, when seven people were slain during clashes in Chicago between Capone’s gang and a rival mob. Auctioneer Christie’s says the gun went for $109,080 US to an anonymous online bidder. It was sold by an anonymous private collector along with a letter from Madeleine Capone Morichetti, the widow of Al Capone’s brother Ralph, confirming the gun “previously belonged to and was only used by Al Capone while he was alive.” The sale price was at the upper end of the pre-sale estimate of between $80,000 and $113,000. It includes a buyer’s premium. New York-born mobster Alphonse (Al) Capone dominated the Chicago underworld during Prohibition until his 1931 arrest for tax evasion. Capone died in 1947.

WEIRD NEWS

Little leadfoot just wanted to see his dad A seven-year-old boy, barefoot and in pyjamas, drove a car for 30 kilometres, sometimes hitting speeds of 80 km/h, before finally slowing down and stopping with the help of authorities. “He was crying and just kept saying he wanted to go to his dad’s,” Caseville, Mich., police Chief Jamie Learman said. “That was pretty much it. He just wanted to go to his dad’s.”

Police began looking for the Pontiac Sunfire around 10:15 a.m. Monday after someone called about a very young driver. The boy was staying with his mother in Huron County’s Sheridan Township, a rural area 180 kilometres north of Detroit. She had worked the night shift and was unaware her son and the car were gone. The boy had hoped to drive to his father’s home in Filion, also in northern Michigan. Police pulled him over in a 90 km/h zone in Caseville Township, some 25 kilometres to the west. Learman told the Detroit Free Press he has seen drivers younger than 15, but not someone this young. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bollywood in Toronto

International India Film Academy coming to Rogers Centre Saturday for awards ceremony Event held in a different city across the world every year to raise profile of Indian films

BACKSTAGE PASS IAN GORMELY

METRO TORONTO

By any measure, Indian cinema is a massive deal. Collectively, the country’s film industries pump out 1,000 films a year and serve a core audience that constitutes the second biggest population in the world. So it’s no small feat that Toronto was able to woo the International India Film Academy’s to the city for Saturday’s awards ceremony at the Rogers Centre. Watched by over 600 million people, the ceremony is held in a different city each year with the goal of promoting Indian cinema across the globe. That IIFA is being held in Toronto is “a huge deal”

Cinema Just because you couldn’t get a ticket to the awards ceremony, or if you’re still not sure if Indian cinema is your thing, there are still ways to take part in the IIFA weekend and learn more about the form.

says Veronica Chail, host of Omni Television’s Bollywood Boulevard, and it speaks to Toronto’s prominent place in the Indian diaspora. “When I found out I got so excited,” says Navita Persaud, a self-professed Bollywood fan. “Everybody’s going to be decked out. They’re all really glamourous.” Yet despite its size and scope, Bollywood films, with their surreal mix of drama, fashion, music and dance, remain difficult for Western audiences to digest. “It’s a lot different from North American films, which are often times more realistic,” says Chail, “It’s a place for people to detatch themselves from their everyday realities to fantasize. It’s always over the top.” Deepali Dewan, curator of the current Bollywood showcards exhibit at the Brampton Silver City.

Draper cashes in

In this file photo, Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is shown performing during the 2009 International Indian Film Academy Awards ceremony.

Royal Ontario Museum, agrees. “When there’s a song and dance sequence, it becomes a space of fantasy. It’s almost like a dreamlike suspension of belief.”

But Persaud sees no reason why non-SoutheastAsian film-lovers couldn’t learn to love Bollywood too. “It’s like reading a really good book when you watch a romance film,” she says.

“You take a step back and you’re like, wow.” Chail agrees. “At the end of the day dance, fashion, film and music are all universal themes that everyone can relate to.”

Izzard revs up Cars 2 Comedian Eddie Izzard is no stranger to voice acting Metro gets the goods on his busy, varied career GETTY IMAGES

NED EHRBAR

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN HOLLYWOOD

Eddie Izzard has quite the crowded business card these days: actor, stand-up comedian, political activist, marathon runner, avid Twitterer. And with Cars 2, he joins the ranks of Pixar voice actors as Miles Axelrod, a Range Rover-ish entrepreneur who’s designed a new, environmentally-friendly fuel, Allinol. The incredibly busy Mr. Izzard sat down with Metro just hours after arriving in L.A. from Paris, where he’s doing a series of stand-up shows. In French. With cars, you’ve mentioned your love of Minis and Volkswagens. Your first car was a Mini?

Yes, a blue one with the windscreen wipers that just stopped working on my way down to London. And I thought, “I’ll drive on.” Without windscreen wipers, in the rain. And, if you’ve never tried that, you should try

it. It’s interesting. The light comes in and refracts. You have to punch the thing out like you’re in a Schwarzenegger movie or something. But you’ve never really considered yourself a big car person?

I do like cars, but I’m not a car nut. I always thought, “Well I’m doing OK, I’ve got a bit of money, let’s get a stupid car, a crazy car.” And I started hiring a few, and nothing really grabbed me. I kept coming back to the Beetle or a Mini. Because they’re kind of cool, and they didn’t separate me. I wasn’t saying, “Hey, look how good I’m doing.” But having said that, I’d go for any type of Jag, or an Aston Martin DB5 or 6 — there’s a five and a six, and I keep looking at them going, “What’s the difference?”

In this you’re playing what looks like a Range Rover, though I guess we can’t say that.

Yes, we can’t say that, can we? I’m playing Sir Miles Axelrod, the … am I a millionaire or a billionaire? I can’t remember. All the positive side of Miles Axelrod has something Richard Branson-esque — or me-esque, because I was at some point studying accounting and financial management. And I am someone that, I suppose ... I have been taking my comedy around the world, and I’ve tried to do that in a very positive way. You’ve definitely become something of a do-gooder in real life.

Yes, we’ve raised some money on the marathons. The positive attitude I like about business is like the Pixar model. You don’t have to be a rape-andpillage business. You know, you can still make a profit. You don’t have to be an ogre. You just have to work a bit harder at it. How have you found balancing all the different work you do?

It’s tricky. I’ve got a few things to do now, whereas in my 20s I had nothing to do. I couldn’t get anything going. I think if you just had a lot of films going — film after film after film — then you would just have to juggle those together.

MICHAEL CAINE

… THE CARS 2 ACTOR ON DRIVING LESSONS

“I’ll tell you what. I grew up in the war in London and then just after. I didn’t know anybody who had a car until, well, I must’ve been 15 or 16 or 17. In London at that time we had the Tube — the subway — and the buses. It was great and it was cheap. So, there was no reason to have a car. I became a movie star and I’d never driven and suddenly went from penniless to quite well off.

CHAUFFEURING THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING INTO A LICENCE What happened to me was that the first car I ever bought was a Rolls Royce and I couldn’t drive it. I said to them, ‘I’ll learn to drive it.’ He said, ‘No, you won’t. You’re not going to learn to drive in a Rolls Royce.’ And when I saw the premium for me, a movie actor, by the way, the insurance premium for me to learn to drive was twice the sum that I’d pay a chauffeur. So, I had chauffeurs my whole life and I never drove a car until I went to Los Angeles. There, as you know, you have to drive a car. So, I took my driving lesson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

in America. It was very funny. When I took my driving lesson it was very official. They said, ‘The inspector who will judge your driving, he will only speak to you about technical things. You will not speak to him about anything

else. There will be nothing personal. Just listen to what he says and answer what he asks.’ Everything had to be kept absolutely professional. I got in the car, very nervous. I was going to take my test. I was sitting there, and he says to me,

‘You’re going to have to be rubbish not to pass this test because I just saw the Man Who Would Be King.’ So, I was off and running. I was a terrible driver, but I passed that test. I’ve had lots of cars, but I don’t drive them, and especially in London.

I’m not a very patient man, and the idea of parking a car and looking for a space and all of that stuff. So, I have a chauffeur. If you’re famous you’re not allowed to go on public transport because it could cause a hubbub.” NED EHRBAR

In the Pixar pantheon of animated films remarkable for their appeal to both adults and children, Cars is the most purely kiddie affair. While critics prefer the heartfelt resonance of Up or the mortality ruminations of Toy Story 3, toddlers have been far more amped by Cars. Since premiering in 2006, Cars has been a highoctane sensation among those whose feet still don’t reach the gas pedal, and the Cars 2 sequel opening Friday is already driving a similar response. Take David W. Wright, a 40-year-old Floridian and the father of a 4-year-old Cars fanatic. Wright estimates he and his son have seen Cars “easily a couple hundred times.” His son is rewarded for good behaviour at pre-

From small screen to silver screen with Segel Jason Segel tells Metro about working with Diaz, Muppets

This actor, musician, writer isn’t slowing down anytime soon HANDOUT

NED EHRBAR

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN HOLLYWOOD

Jason Segel isn’t one for summer vacation. While on break from How I Met

Your Mother, the actor, writer and musician is beyond busy promoting his latest film, Bad Teacher, opposite Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake, and putting the finishing touches on his passion

project, The Muppets. Segel found a free moment to chat with Metro about working with Diaz, not slowing down and making his own Muppet. Bad Teacher is a great example of raunchy comedy done

well. What do you think made it work?

I think one of the things that makes the movie work is that Cameron is so intrinsically likeable and is known for having such a bright personality that

coming out.

Was there a lot of improvisation for your scenes with her?

I couldn’t be more excited. That’s been a real labour of love. Nick Stoller and I started writing it almost five years ago now — four years ago. Seeing it come to fruition is really, really exciting. I’ve seen cuts of it, and I think we’re just inches away from some real magic. So we’re very, very excited for our Thanksgiving release.

There was quite a bit of adlibbing. You know, Jake comes from the same school of comedy that we were kind of mentored by with Judd Apatow. I think part of our process in general is that a lot of the hard work is done in casting, and once you’ve done that and you’ve hired people that you’re confident know their parts even better than you do as the writer or director, and so you trust in them to do their thing, and it usually pays off. Between TV, film and promotional duties, how hectic is your schedule these days?

I was in Michigan a couple of hours ago filming, and then flew into New York. I’m here for about three hours, and then back home. So pretty busy. Right now I’m filming a movie called The Five-Year Engagement that I wrote with my writing partner, Nick Stoller, which is another romantic comedy under the Judd umbrella. And we’ve got Muppets

With the first official trailer for The Muppets out now, you must be pretty stoked.

You’ve been doing some great parody trailers for it up until now.

I thought the very first parody trailer, where it seemed like a mediocre romantic comedy, was really funny. I was watching people kind of sigh in relief that Amy Adams and I hadn’t made a terrible movie. Can you tell us anything about the Muppet you created?

Yeah, his name is Walter. He’s an adorable little guy who is sort of the eyes and ears of the audience, just a giant Muppet fan, and his goal is to reunite the Muppets, remind them of what they used to be. It was really an honour to have my own Muppet made.

A Flood of changes for the Glasvegas Working with renowned producer Flood, Glasvegas changed half of their new album The move from guitarist to frontman for James Allan proves just what the band needed to hit their stride with new album PAT HEALY

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN BOSTON

Glasvegas guitarist Rab Allan is quick to diss his cousin James, who played guitar and sang on the band’s 2009 debut, but is only listed as the singer on their new album, Euphoric///Heartbreak\\\. “I think he just wore it because it looked good,” he says. The Scottish rockers’ sophomore effort is decidedly different from their debut, and Allan says they owe that to more than just one less guitarist. With famed producer Flood (U2, Nine Inch Nails) in the studio with them, they achieved guitar sounds they previously thought weren’t possible. I read that you finished doing demos on your own in California, and then took them to Flood. How much changed between the original recordings and the finished results?

I guess it depends on how you look at the role of the producer. About half of the demos are what’s on the album. In terms of structure, not a lot changed. The song You was completely different. It was something James

did with just piano and his vocal sounded like John Lennon, so that was one of the biggest changes Flood made. But it was more like confidence and experience with sounds that he Why is James no longer listed as a guitarist?

I actually feel less responsibility because I had to cover up his mistakes before. He used to make me look bad.

guitar, I wasn’t the only guitarist, so I couldn’t say, “I’m the guitarist.” But now I’m the guitarist, Paul [Donoghue] is

the bass player, Jonna [Löfgren] is the drummer and he’s the singer, so they’re quite defined roles.

LIVE HEALTHY LIVE WELL

Is he going to be upset that you’re telling me this?

No, he felt quite trapped with a guitar on his shoulder because he couldn’t express himself enough, so he wanted to have a bit more freedom. Is he doing any cartwheels or backflips on stage now with this freedom?

You know what? He keeps jumping off the stage and just falling on his ass. He’s getting quite good at doing that. That’s one thing that he’s got a talent for. But you know, I’m actually surprised how well he’s taken to being the frontman, if you want to call it that, not that I’ve ever doubted he could do it. Do you feel any more responsibility now that you’re the only guitarist?

Lindsay’s got cabin fever Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

Arnold and Maria: divorce coming soon They may not have initiated divorce proceedings yet, but Arnold Schwarzenegger is reportedly already paying Maria Shriver “a significant amount of child support,” according to Radar Online. “Even though Maria is a Kennedy, and has inherited a great deal of money

from her parents’ estate since their deaths, she is taking the child support,” a source says. As for the divorce itself, the source says it’s just a matter of time: “Maria wants to get a fair divorce settlement, and move on with her life,” the source says. METRO

Lohan’s finding house arrest a bit limiting Says she might return to (alcohol-free) clubbing ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

Lindsay Lohan admits that being under house arrest in her Venice Beach condo is starting to get to her. “I’m a very social person, and I like being outside,” she tells Life & Style. “I’d like to get out more — just going out and having dinner.” And while Lohan insists that “alcohol is not in my house, so it’s just not a part of my life,” she hasn’t ruled out a return to the nightclub life when her sentence is up. “I don’t think you should ever say never,” she says.

While their siblings enjoy being newlyweds, Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton have reportedly been spending some quality time together, according to Grazia. “They speak on the phone all the time and have met up at least five times since the wedding, once for tea at his Clarence House apartments,” a source says. “She thinks he’s got a really cheeky sense of humour.” The pair have something else in common as well, as they’re both recently single. “He only recently came out of a relationship, of course.

Bring on the beef YLVA VAN BUUREN FOR METRO

Pia Wiesen has got her Canada Day BBQ all figured out — and it’s going to be a delicious day! The restaurant owner is celebrating Canada’s birthday as well as the fact she and her family became Canadian citizens this year. The family emigrated from Germany in 1994, and today she and her husband Stefan own Pia’s Bakery, a restaurant/bakery in Orangeville, Ont. For Canada Day, she’ll

prepare much of the meal ahead of time — so she can enjoy the day too. On the buffet table, there will be a platter of tomatoes sprinkled with diced shallots, a balsamic/maple syrup reduction and sliced Canadian cheddar, and served with fresh baguette. There will be burgers — classic hamburgers dressed up with sliced avocado, tomato and mayonnaise; and salmon burgers served with fresh greens and mayonnaise mixed with chopped capers. A buffet really is the

way to go on Canada Day. Make it a potluck, says Joyce Parslow, home economist at the Beef Information Centre. Parslow suggests that the host prepare the main course meats and ask guests to bring side dishes such as potato, pasta or grain salad. “I like to do kebabs because they’re quick to cook up. Steak is always a crowd pleaser (grill one large steak, then slice it up on a platter to share), and sometimes I’ll do a roast on the barbecue the day before

and serve it sliced with different condiments and buns,” she said. Burgers are always a great idea. Because you prepare them ahead of time, “the flavours mix nicely in the fridge and burgers hold together better on the grill,” says Parslow. For a casual meal, add new dishes to the buffet table as they arrive or come off the grill. Everyone can wander back and forth to the table — as they visit, have fun and enjoy the day.

Combine vinegar, garlic, maple syrup, onions, oil, orange juice, cloves, salt and pepper in large sealable freezer bag. Set aside 2 tbsp for basting. Trim beef cubes if necessary. Add to freezer bag; seal and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. Discard marinade. Thread steak and orange chunks alternately onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill on lightly oiled grill over medium-high heat, or broil, for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until browned but still pink inside.

Spruce up your patio ASTRID VAN DEN BROEK FOR METRO

Need to freshen up your outdoor entertaining presentation? We asked Karl Lohnes, Metro’s Décor Moment columnist, and Frank Turco, the Toronto-based senior manager of trend and design for Home Depot Canada for some new ideas for backyard parties.

Lighting For safety and ambience, pillar candles now come in LED form. “They’re nice to cluster or put in a hurricane glass, Set-up candles, carafes, music and movies to wow guests at your next outdoor gathering.

Cuisinart Stand Blender, $179.99, available at Future Shop.

even though you don’t really have to,” says Lohnes. Or invest in string lights to drape behind a railing or under a patio umbrella. “They add some colour and create some ambient lighting throughout.”

Drinks Buy half-litre glass wine carafes at the dollar store for each person’s setting. “That way everyone has their own personal carafe at their setting filled with white or red wine or sangria even,” says Lohnes.

Premix the bases of two or three drinks so nobody’s fussing with barware mid-party. “That way all you have to do is put them in a glass to shake,” says Lohnes. Or plug in a blender outside to pour the drinks over shaved ice. Use what you have. “If you’re serving beer, take a planter and plug the bottom and put cans and bottles in there,” suggests Turco.

Décor Hit the dollar store for decorating ideas. Lohnes recommends draping faux hula skirts over your patio umbrella or table, or pick up some printed melamine plates to use as chargers.

Rocketfish Outdoor Wireless Speakers, $229.99, available at Future Shop.

Set up wireless speakers for music or hook up an outdoor projector on a blank wall. “Put a classic movie on in the background,” suggests Lohnes. “It adds lighting and sound and it’s nice to sit outside and be entertained.” Keep your guest’s needs in mind. Chilly night? Drape blankets over the backs of the chairs for when they are needed. If it’s a steamy night, consider a mister spray bottle for guests.

Summer food safety tips

How you prepare, cook and eat your food in the kitchen and at the BBQ could take its toll on your tummy JUPITERIMAGES/COMSTOCK/THINKSTOCK

YLVA VAN BUUREN FOR METRO

Summer ... and living and eating outdoors is easy! Just don’t forget that outdoor barbecues may increase the risk of food-borne illnesses. The food safety website, befoodsafe.ca, reminds everyone that bacteria can spread on hands, utensils and surfaces as you prepare your favourite dishes. Avoid problems by following these safe cooking and food-handling suggestions.

Food Preparation • Never defrost food at room temperature. Defrost in the refrigerator, in cold water or in the microwave. • When preparing meat dishes, clean surfaces, dishes and utensils with hot soapy water after

preparing each food item. • Avoid cross contamination of bacteria by using one cutting board for fresh produce and another for meats, poultry and seafood. Joyce Parslow, home economist at the Beef Information Centre, suggests colour coding — use red for meat, white for bread and vegetables. • Wash your hands regularly, especially before and after handling food. • If you use cloth towels in the kitchen, be sure to change them often (and wash them in the hot water cycle).

Cooking • Use a clean platter for cooked foods — not the platter you used for raw meat. Avoid getting raw juices in contact with any-

thing. • Wash tongs with soap and water after they’ve touched raw meats. • Use a food thermometer to ensure sure meat is cooked. According to Health Canada, meat is cooked at certain internal temperatures. For example: ground beef, steak (medium done), veal and lamb (71 C/160 F), chicken wings and breast (74 C/165 F), pork (71 C/160 F).

Eating • Follow the one-hour rule for perishables. Foods such as potato salad with mayonnaise can be left out safely for up to one hour. • Protect food from insects outside with mesh. • If it’s hot outside, consider serving your buffet where it’s air-conditioned.

Be aware. Outdoor barbecues may increase the risk of food-borne illnesses.

There’s a festival for every interest this summer.

KELLY PUTTER

FOR METRO

As outdoor-food chomping, flip-flop clomping, fun-romping Canadians, when it comes to summer festivals we even like a little pomp. From the wild mountain-bike athletes at the Kokanee Crankworx festival in Whistler to Collingwood’s Elvis Festival to the long-running Icelandic Festival of Manitoba to Drummondville’s Festival de la Poutine, there’s virtually a festival for every interest. But with so many to attend, how do you get your money’s worth? “Going to a festival is all

about planning,â€? says Gary McWilliams, a Cobourg festival guru whose website (ontariofestivalsvisited.ca) offers a listing of Ontario events and festivals, commentary and planning tips. Billed as the Festival Nomad, McWilliams, who has visited more than 200 festivals and who helped found Cobourg’s 21-year-old Waterfront Festival, offers the following pointers: • Check the festival’s website. Most have an online presence and it can tell you a lot about the event before you get there. But it can also fool you, so be aware that “some festivals really puff their event and don’t deliver,â€? he says.

• Leave pets at home. Many festivals don’t allow dogs unless it’s a guide dog. • Walk backwards. If you follow the crowd, you will invariably encounter lineups and mini mobs at various attractions and displays. Walk the festival backwards and you’re sure to hit less traffic. • Create a checklist. It should include summer essentials such as sunscreen, water, sunglasses and a camera. Don’t forget your cash, as many festivals don’t have access to ATMs or credit cards. • Pack your grub. Festival food is expensive and not the healthiest so it’s wise to prepare a lunch.

KEITH CARMAN FOR METRO

“The big band is an obsolete technology.� Such a phrase isn’t exactly what we’d expect to hear from a big band leader. However, in the case of 18-piece Canadian outfit Secret Society, it’s leader Darcy James’ main selling point. An advocate for the emotional virility and moving power of music, he still sees the viability in so many instrumentalists creating epic pieces together. “(Big band music) was quite popular in the ’30s right up until the ’50s but fell out of favour for a long time,� he says. “It’s been all

but forgotten. For me, we take this artifact from the past and refashion it to do something musically creative that points ahead.� Such is the reason James refers to the style of Secret Society’s debut effort Infernal Machines as Steampunk big band. He feels the term perfectly defines their efforts to create a style and sound that embraces past, present and future. Whatever they are, the terminology seems to be working — or at least the music is, seeing as Infernal Machines has garnered accolades including Juno and Grammy award nominations as well as an ardent fan base.

Style doesn’t break Modernity and colour to dominate designer resort looks for rest of year The resort season is not a time for fashion to take a vacation. Resort collections, which hit stores during the all-important Christmas holiday shopping season, are a growing part of designer businesses as consumers move toward styles they can wear yearround. The idea that people fully switch their closets between seasons is outdated, agrees Ken Downing, senior vice-president and fashion director for retailer Neiman Marcus. Shoppers of today are looking for clothes they can wear the day they buy them, he says, and resort wear typically meets that demand. Not to mention that resort clothes also spend the longest time on the

Diane von Furstenberg

when spring merchandise moves in.

The name “resort” is a holdover from the days when brands would offer a few key pieces for their wealthy snowbird customers who’d flee cold climates at Christmastime. The modern definition, however, has evolved to be more of a code word for new, fresh merchandise. “I'm happy to see designers really paying attention to resort, and to really put into it design and style,” Downing says. True fans of fashion know that this transitional period also gives a clue where designers are heading in the future, Downing adds. Expect to see less black, more red, navy and neon, and some surf and scuba influences. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Give a whole new meaning to the term ‘chicken night’ BOTH PHOTOS: MATTHEW MEAD/ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This dish has the flavour of lasagna with the substance of chicken It takes 20 minutes to make The goal was a simple chicken casserole that had the rich, satisfying flavour of a lasagna. Actually, that’s a lie. The goal was a chicken roulade — a dish in which chicken breasts are pounded flat, then slathered or layered with some sort of filling, then rolled into a log and roasted or braised. Except my roulade didn’t co-operate. During roasting, the cheesy innards oozed out all over the baking sheet, then promptly burned. The result was an ugly mess. Then it occurred to me: If the cheese wanted to ooze out of the chicken, why not reverse the dish and start it that way. And thus was born this simple chicken casserole that

home sales up a solid 37 per cent. On a year to date basis, total new home sales in the GTA are running 12 per cent ahead of January-May 2010, driven by a 29 per cent surge in highrise sales. The low-rise sector is running six per cent behind last year through May. It was the best May ever for new condominium sales, following right on the heels of a recordbreaking April. Fifty-seven per cent of all new home sales in the GTA in May were highrise condominium suites which is consistent with the year to date average of 59 per cent, both of which are all-time high market share ratios.

The primary factors driving the market appear to be relative affordability (compared with low-rise here and highrise globally), low interest rates and, to give the builders their due, some great building and suite designs in some great locations.

Condos with a

twist

New technological and cultural developments have spawned the twisty, torso construction trend These condos boast sleek, elegant profiles DUNCAN MCALLISTER

HOMES@METRONEWS.CA

The twisted condominium style has evolved through several high-profile international projects. One example is the HSB Turning Torso in Malmö, the tallest skyscraper in Sweden. Designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005, the tower reaches a height of 190 metres with 54 storeys. The form is built from nine individual cube structures centred around a circular reinforced concrete core.

Local va-va-voom The most famous Canadian example of a twisting structure is the Absolute World

Tower in Mississauga, dubbed the Marilyn Monroe tower because of its sultry, feminine curving design. Developer Fernbrook Homes/Cityzen created a community of five towers with townhome lofts and a landscaped central piazza. The new tower, Absolute World 2, will be a companion to The Absolute World 1. “They are [architect] Yansong Ma’s version of Yin and Yang,” says Danny Salvatore, president of Fernbrook Homes.

Builders do the twist Building these towers entail certain technical challenges. In the case of Absolute, Chris Sleight from KHL

Construction illustrates the complexity in International Construction magazine: “The 170 metre high south tower and 150 metre north tower both twist as they climb, with constant rotation on the north tower, and varying changes between floors on the south tower, which makes for a complicated construction project.”

Risky business The builder always assumes some risks in taking on these elaborate designs. Several of these structures run into bad luck or bad economic times. The Infinity Tower in Dubai was not without its problems, for example. Construction of the 330-

metre building began in February 2006. The project resumed construction in July 2008, after a delay caused by the collapse of a nearby wall and subsequent flooding of the construction site. Despite the setbacks however, upon completion it will have 73 storeys and will be the world’s tallest high-rise building with a twist of 90 degrees. And the worst-case scenario is the Chicago Spire; an uncompleted, now-defunct, twisting skyscraper project in Chicago, Illinois. After several years of ongoing financial challenges, and the fallout from the recession that began in 2008, construction was halted.

The Absolute World Tower in Mississauga is dubbed the Marilyn Monroe tower due to its sultry, feminine design.

WHY STATUS CERTIFICATES CAN CHANGE LEGAL MATTERS

JEFFREY COWAN HOME @METRONEWS.CA

Q: Your recent article on contributing to the reserve fund as a condominium owner made good reading. We recently purchased a condo and made the offer conditional on the review of the status certificate. Would there be some indication in this document about the reserve fund?

A: First, let me explain re-

serve funds for condos. They are kind of like a savings account for homeowners who put a small amount of money away each month for repairs to the roof and other items around the house. Reserve funds for condos are contributed to in order to address large upkeep issues for the build-

ing such as roofs and parking. Under the statute, a condo must keep a certain percentage of their operating budget in reserve. When you order a status certificate, it will indicate if the reserve fund is adequate for the coming fiscal year and if the board of directors has any thoughts of increasing the

fund through a special assessment. Typically, this statement is reliable for the fiscal year but you cannot rule out the possibility that half way through the year, a large repair becomes necessary and therefore the board may have to reconsider the adequacy of the reserve fund.

So really, new purchasers cannot rely on the status certificate past the point in time that it was issued because like all of us, condo owners and boards do not have crystal balls to see the future. JEFFREY COWAN IS THE PRINCIPAL OF COWAN LAW AND CAN BE REACHED BY EMAIL AT JEFF@COWANLAW.CA.

Make your home look Moroccan

Bring an exotic feel to your home this summer Rich pinks, purples and turquoise colours meet mosaic and lattice-inspired shapes This far-away style is becoming increasingly popular in modern homes

DESIGN CENTRE KARL LOHNES HOME@ METRONEWS.CA

Morocco is influenced by the many cultures that surround it. Acting as a crossroads between the east and west, north and south, Moroccan decor blends styles from France, Portu-

gal and Spain from the northwest, with strong African, Persian, and Islamic influences from the south and east. This results in a unique and inspirational style specific to Morocco. Want to create the perfect ethnic-inspired grotto or outdoor retreat? Here’s a few elements to consider incorporating.

Strong Moroccan colours Colour is the focal point of Moroccan decorating. Use colours like

turquoise blue and bright green, mixed metallics like gold and silver for nighttime glitter, and rich reds and oranges that conjure up images of African sunsets.

Moroccan-style furnishings Interior spaces are busy in pattern but simple in furniture. Sofas and tables are inviting and set low to the ground. Add colourful pillows, blankets and rugs to the ground for another level of entertaining in true

Moroccan style.

Floors in Moroccan interiors Floors of dark hardwood are covered with plush Persian rugs, and stacked floor cushions create the perfect base for a Moroccan-style room. Ceramic tile is often used for flooring and gives a cooling effect underfoot.

Plants for Moroccan decor Placed in large, colourful pots or baskets, exotic

plants such as banana trees or papyrus help to create an oasis-like feel in a Moroccan-style home.

Overhead umbrellas and canopies Richly coloured sheer or silk swagged over seating or dining areas or mosquito netting over beds add a mysterious touch, reminiscent of desert bazaar tents. How provocative! Moroccan-style beds and sofas are inviting and set low to the ground.

Sensual Moroccan scents Choose candles, incense,

Secrets to being a savvy street shopper One person’s trash is another person’s new bedside table Scavenging for curbside throwaways involves risk — and reward ISTOCK IMAGES

DIY IDEAS For those short on cash, grabbing a curbside cast-off is a viable solution to redecorating. However, thanks in large part to the bed bug epidemic, this form of recycling can lead to expensive risks. Husband and wife design team Linda Wary and John Meyers are experts in all things vintage. Their book, Tossed & Found: Unconventional Design from Cast-Offs is all about repurposing found objects. They give us a few tips. Walk away from upholstery

Bed bugs hide and lay eggs in almost any material, especially soft textiles. Never bring bed frames, mattresses, box springs or upholstered furniture into your home, warns the duo. Also: “Fabric on an upholstered chair can age and develop mould,” says Wary, “and a rusty spring or staple inside a chair can break or pop out — and you don’t want to sit on that.” (A deep puncture wound, such as from a spring or staple, is most susceptible to tetanus infection — see

Previously owned dresser seeks loving home.

your doctor if you get pricked!)

Meyers affirms. Sniff test

It’s a treasure hunt

When it comes to salvaging, “sometimes you can find one-of-a-kind items that you’re never going to find anywhere else, like a five-panel wood door or (an art deco) piece of brass,”

Before it’s dealt with at home, smell it! “Cigarette and (urine) odours never come out,” Meyers warns. A musty smell on an end table might clear out if it’s left out in the sunlight for a day or two.

“But it depends on the severity of the smell,” Wary adds. “I once left an old jacket out for an entire summer!” Is it cost-effective to pick it up?

“Can you realistically clean it up if it’s a little dirty? Or if it’s a lamp, are you going to be able to rewire it if it doesn’t work?” Meyers says. “If it seems impossible to fix, re-donate to the curb.” Safe bets

Glass vases or plastic storage boxes are usually reliably clean finds. “If it looks like it’s in good shape, with no strange smells, don’t worry about cleaning it before bringing it home,” Wary says. Soap and water

If you spot a dusty dresser or lamp, gently wipe off grime with a soapy sponge. “A harsh chemical could damage old finishes, so best to start with a mild cleanser,” she says. METRO

Keep kids away from lawn mowers

Between 1990 and 2006, a total of 1,161 patients visited Canadian hospitals for lawn mower-related injuries, according to Health & Safety Watch. Here are some tips from the organization to ensure safety around lawn mowers: • Never allow children to play on a lawn mower, even if it is turned off • Never allow a child to ride on a riding lawn mower with you • Keep children indoors and do not allow children to play nearby while you are mowing • Children should be at least 12 before operating any lawn mower and at least 16 to operate a riding mower • Before mowing pick up stones, toys and debris from the lawn to prevent injuries from flying objects • Wear shoes, not sandals, and use eye and hearing protection • Start and refuel mowers outdoors, never in a garage • Refuel with the motor turned off and cool

Green lawn, green lawn mower ISTOCK IMAGES

There are lots of alternatives to the pollution of an old gas mower you will spend less money on maintenance. Sears offers both corded and cordless options. With a cordless electric mower you can move around the yard with ease but running time is limited to the chargeable battery power. The corded electric mower has unlimited running time but will only reach as far as the extension cord will allow. Gas powered mowers are ideal for large lawns, but they release pollutants into the atmosphere. For a greener gas mower choose the Craftsman 22-inch front-wheel lawn mower with the Eco Plus technology engine. These mowers emit 38 per cent less exhaust emissions than current Canadian standards.

You might not realize it, but that old gas mower is a major contributor to summer air pollution. In fact, running an old gas-powered lawn mower for one hour can produce as much air pollution as driving a new car 550 kilometres. But there are greener choices when it comes to lawn care. The greenest by far is a reel mower powered by you. Ideal for small, flat lawns, these simple and quiet mowers release no pollution into the atmosphere. For up to half an acre, an electric or battery powered mower is a great green choice. Compared to a gas mower, they are cleaner and quieter plus without the need for fuel, tune-ups and oil filters,

Choose your bamboo with care Some species are tasty and make lovely sounds in the breeze

But other kinds require constant management DEAN FOSDICK/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gardeners are often bamboozled by bamboo, particularly the running kinds that are notorious spreaders.

Most of the clumping varieties can be contained, however, growing quickly into attractive specimen plants and screens. It’s im-

portant to know the difference before you buy. “Bamboo is really nice to look at and it has a pleasant rustling sound in

It is one of the fastest growing plants in nature. “In ideal conditions, there’s been bamboo recorded to grow 39 inches (about a metre) a day,� said Ted Meredith, author of Bamboo for Gardens (Timber Press, 2001).

a downside is that it gets root-bound more quickly,� he said. “It’s easy, though, to take it out, divide and repot it. Most of the stems are hollow, making it light and portable in containers.� And bamboo serves as good building material for fences and borders. “Black bamboo is hard and beautiful, and you can make very colourful yard constructions from it,� Meredith said. Bamboo’s hardiness often causes problems, though. Many varieties can take over a yard if left untended. “I never recommend planting bamboo unless you’re certain about the varieties,� said Morgan Judy, an extension agent at Clemson University’s Orangeburg, S.C., office.

Slide continues for Blue Jays

SCOTT CUNNINGHAM/GETTY IMAGES

Another tough day at the plate had the Toronto Blue Jays pondering some lineup changes. Brandon Beachy had a career-high 11 strikeouts in his first start in nearly six weeks, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 5-1 victory that completed a sweep of the struggling Blue Jays yesterday.

The Blue Jays lost for the ninth time in 13 games, a slide that has

knocked them out of contention in the AL East. Toronto has scored more than four runs only once during that stretch. “The numbers don’t lie,” Toronto manager John Farrell said. “We need to regroup. There’s no question about it.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Injury ends Raonic’s run

NHL awards

JULIAN FINNEY/GETTY IMAGES

Canadian forced to retire in first set after awkward fall It was a rough day for Canada at the All England Club. Milos Raonic retired because of injury yesterday and Rebecca Marino and Stephanie Dubois also bowed out in the second round as the last Canadian singles players were eliminated at Wimbledon. Raonic had just broken Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller for a 2-1 lead in the first set when he went down awkwardly and was forced to call it quits after just 23 minutes. The 20-year-old from Thornhill was moving to his left at the baseline at 15all but lost his footing and tumbled. His legs went in different directions as he tried to move back to his right. “I don’t know anything,” Raonic said of the injury. “It’s too soon for a diagnosis on what it is. But it’s something pretty deep in the hip. “It’s around both the inside and outside of the hip.

A minor pull on the inside, but on the outside, it’s (related to) the joint.” Later yesterday, Marino dropped a 7-6 (3), 6-2 decision to No. 29 seed Roberta Vinci of Italy and Dubois fell 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to Germany’s Andrea Petkovic. Raonic, who went to hos-

pital for an MRI, grimaced and spent some time sitting where he fell as officials and his opponent looked on. A trainer worked on his leg and Raonic eventually limped to the sidelines where he received more treatment and had his right

thigh wrapped. “I knew right away. I didn’t think I could even lift my leg. It was a pretty sharp pain,” Raonic said. “But as time passed, with the treatment, I was able to walk a bit.” He returned to action, moving gingerly and won

Raps keeping their draft options open Colangelo not afraid of drafting raw talent, or even trading pick away Bryan Colangelo is not at all a risk-adverse man and if that means he has to make a surprise selection with the fifth pick in tonight’s NBA draft, a surprise it shall be. The Raptors president and general manager, now locked away trying to figure out who he might take or whether he should deal the pick away, is not at all concerned about the opinions of others. “I don’t really care if someone doesn’t have (raw Congolese teenaged centre)

Bismack Biyombo on the board at five, I’ll consider him if he’s the right pick for this team and the right talent and we project him out the right way,” Colangelo said discussing his draft options after introducing Dwane Casey as the team’s new coach. “Same with (San Diego State forward) Kawhi Leonard. You don’t see him mentioned at five often, maybe at seven, but at the end of the day, you do what you think is right for your team and what’s right

based on the years of experience and judgment you put into this.” Colangelo seems to have narrowed his list of possibilities to four — Biyombo, Leonard, Kentucky point guard Brandon Knight and Lithuanian centre Jonas Valanciunas — with Czech forward Jan Vesely and Connecticut point guard Kemba Walker as fallback positions. But as much as he would like to add a young player to a core he’s OK with, if the possibility of making a

trade comes up, Colangelo is willing to listen. Reports yesterday suggested the Raptors were among teams the San Antonio Spurs were calling in an effort to move near the top of the draft. And Colangelo himself suggested trade talk will likely continue right up until draft time. “I’ve been asked to move back a couple of spots and it’s something I think we have to look at and consider if there’s a package that nets us more value,” he said.
