Starting today, every Ontario couple will have to attend an information session on alternatives to going to court before getting a divorce. The new rules will help alleviate some of the pressure on Ontario’s family court system and will save those hoping to get divorced time and money, said Chris Bentley, the province’s attorney general. Couples will have to attend the information session before they can file a divorce case in court. If they still insist on going to court after that, they will then be given the option to attend a mediation session organized by the attorney general’s office to try settling their differences. Couples will now be able to attend the mediation session at any family court across the province for free. They would have needed to pay it for themselves before the changes were introduced. Despite the two-step process, some in the legal community think

“Going to court ... can be enormously costly, take a lot of time, and probably most signiﬁcantly be very emotionally damaging to children and to the two individuals.’’ CHRIS BENTLEY, ONTARIO ATTORNEY GENERAL

the initiative isn’t as effective as it could be. Judith Huddart, a family lawyer and president of the Ontario Collaborative Law Federation, said the sessions don’t advise those considering divorce about their options early enough in the process. “I know how frustrating it can be for people to be told that they have other options after they’ve already hired a lawyer and started forward in a litigation route,” she said.

Ford creating ‘culture of fear’ to slash services, critics charge

They say shortfall is $330 million less than Ford claims, thanks to surplus and other revenues Mayor Rob Ford’s administration continues to raise the spectre of a $774-million gap in the 2012 budget even though new revenues have dramatically changed the outlook. For example, the city has already revealed it has an $88-million surplus from 2010 as well as other revenues. Those monies whittle the shortfall down to about $443 million, still a huge sum but $330 million less than the Ford administration is saying publicly. Key Ford officials mention the $774-million number on a regular basis, and the web page for the city’s service review now underway says prominently that the review is needed “to address Toronto’s 2012 budget gap of $774 million.” Critics accuse the Ford administration of exaggerating the city’s money woes to cow citizens into going along with serious cuts. “I think the mayor is trying to create a political climate that suggests that the City of Toronto govern-

ment is broken,” Coun. Gord Perks said. “The kind of damage that Rob Ford wants to do to services Torontonians rely on can only be achieved if he terrorizes the public into believing we need to do it. They’re exaggerating the amount of work we have to do to balance our budget to create a culture of fear.” Coun. Peter Milczyn defended the strategy of sticking with the opening deficit, noting that city practice has always been to wait until budget deliberations begin before finance staff publicly release their recommendations to close the gap. “It is the opening number,” said Milczyn, a member of the budget committee. “Yes, we’re already finding various ways of reducing that number and there are different options to get that number down to zero. We have to do that, and we will, but $774 million is the real number.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Sgt. Laurie Perks says police are investigating whether the argument started in one of the nearby bars, which were closing at the time of the incident. Perks says the man remains in hospital in serious condition. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Immigration drops by 25%

Protest. Downtown

Since 2008, the government has made efforts to eliminate processing backlogs Counting on capping the number of applications it accepts Canada let 25 per cent fewer immigrants into the country in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2010, raising concerns the Conservative government is embarking on a bold plan to restrict the country’s immigration levels. The number of permanent resident visas issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada between January and March fell from 84,083 in 2010 to 63,224 this year, according to figures obtained by The Toronto Star. The latest department numbers show a decline across the board, with visas for skilled workers down 28 per cent, family-sponsored relatives down 14 per cent, and refugees dropping by 25 per cent. The significant drop in

visas comes on the eve of public consultations Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is holding on the country’s immigration levels and classes of people that should be allowed in. The first meeting was held in Calgary last week, and another is scheduled in Toronto Wednesday. “It’s a very sharp decline,” said Myer Siemiatycki, professor of politics and public administration at Ryerson University, referring to the visas granted. “It begs the question: What is going on here? “Has the government decided on the outset that they want fewer admissions? Is the tap being closed tighter?” In the months leading up to the May 2 federal election, the Conservatives touted 2010 as a banner

year in immigration, welcoming 280,000 permanent residents, the highest in 50 years. In 2009, approximately 265,000 immigrants were granted permanent status. Commenting on this year’s quarterly figures, immigration officials say it is unfair to use the 2010 numbers as a benchmark since

Budget slashing Over the last 15 years, Canada’s annual immigration levels have remained around 250,000, about 0.8 per cent of the population. The Conservative government has announced it intends to slash $4 billion in annual spending from the federal budget, raising fears of further cuts to the

immigration system. This year, about $50 million was cut in settlement services. Ernst & Young business immigration lawyer Batia Stein said the biggest percentage drop in early 2011 comes in the federal skilled worker and Canada experience programs, designed to usher in immigrants most likely to succeed in the job market.

JENNIFER TAPLIN

@METRONEWS.CA

hether it’s a deer smashing through a coffee shop window in Halifax or a black bear taking a snooze in a Kanata backyard, wildlife loves cities almost as much as commuters. And this summer has seen myriad of tales of animal-human conflicts in Canadian cities, with the case of a Toronto man allegedly hitting a baby raccoon with a shovel drawing out both animal lovers and raccoon haters in protest. But, despite the attention, are citizens really having more run-ins with critters? “It’s massively manmade this idea we’re having more interactions … but there’s no doubt we’re encroaching on their territory,” said Simon Gadbois, an animal behaviour researcher in Halifax. Habitat encroachment and climate change play a role, but conflicts come in cycles depending on animal populations and their environment, he said. These days, he said, people are more likely to report animal sightings after learning of a horrific event, such as recent bear attacks in B.C. and the 19-year-old Toronto woman who was killed by coyotes in Cape Breton, N.S., in 2009. In the short term, growing cities mean a loss of

habitat as animals creep into cities looking for food and shelter, but in the long term it means there will be fewer animals, said Kevin Strange, with the conservation outreach program at the Calgary Zoo. “Cities and towns are almost always built on a water body, and in the west here they’re always on a river and rivers are green highways (for animals),” he said. “There are times when climate change can really make animals migrate.” Climate change can be good for some animals and bad for others. If there is a shortage of rabbits, for example, coyotes will range further into cities and find that cats make a good substitute, he said. “Cats think (coyotes) are dogs and it’s not until the last second they realize they’re not dealing with the average dog,” Gadbois said. “And some cat owners put those little bird bells around the necks of cats, which becomes like a lunch bell for the coyotes.” Experts believe the keys to making cities less attractive to wildlife is to take a serious look at waste management and get people to stop feeding creatures like deer and raccoons. Gadbois said people need to realize wildlife is always going to hang around cities — it might not be ideal, but not as dangerous as people think. “Hey, get over it,” he said. “That’s what it is to live in Canada.”

No party animals here

hen you have an uninvited, furry pest living in your house, throw a party. Reesa Atnikov, a supervisor with the not-forprofit Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre in Manitoba, said they take thousands of calls every year about wild animals like raccoons or skunks that have become a little too comfortable in an urban setting. “We recommend bright lights, loud music and rags

soaked in bleach. They don’t like the smell, they don’t like the lights and they don’t like the loud music,” she said. But if you’re in the backyard and Winnie and Yogi wander in to sniff out your garbage bin, the best plan is to call a conservation officer, said Kevin Strange with the Calgary Zoo. “That’s got to be a fairly threatening situation … and it may have a desire to protect the food source,” he said.

Raccoons are tough to keep out of a garden once they decide to raid it. You might want to try building a raccoon-resistant garden box. Make sure to wear safety gear and check your local building codes. And remember, this design is not the work of an expert, just a reporter who was making it up as he went along. The project is fairly basic and you can alter the dimensions to suit your needs.

1 2 3 4

Construct a garden box using wide 2x6 (or wider if you want) cedar planks. A 2x4 or a 4x4 cedar post in each corner secures the planks. Posts are expensive so I used 2x4s. Cut the 2x4s to 8 inches, leaving 4 inches to secure the 2x2s that form the upright parts of the cage frame to put on top of the box. Connect the upright 2x2s with more 2x2s along the top, cover three sides and the roof with mesh, and then construct wooden frame doors with mesh fronts, with a latch at the top and the bottom. It took me eight hours working by myself and it cost almost $217 in materials. The simplest way I can explain the doors is comparing it to stapling a cage to a picture frame and then screwing another frame on top of the first. SEAN MCKIBBON

Hidden underneath a narrow, shrub-lined parking lot in Old Montreal is an important piece of Canada’s political past, and archeologists are working to uncover it. Digging has begun in the hopes of finding the remains of what was supposed to have been the first permanent parliament of Canada.

The team is keeping expectations low about what it hopes to find preserved in the ground, given that the Montreal parliament had a short lifespan and met a particularly fiery end in 1849, when it was burned to the ground during a violent protest by angry Anglos. The turmoil revolved around the Rebellion Losses

Bill, legislation that sought to compensate people who sustained property damage during the 1837-38 rebellions against the Crown. The site is located in historic Place D’Youville. Archeologists will continue digging until October, at which point the city plans to convert the site into a green space. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Questions raised over flag contract

Ousted Mubarak not in coma, doctor says

Murder. Acquittal

Under international trade agreements, Canadian flags are not required to be made in country It should be a good-news story: An Ontario manufacturer beats out a dozen factories in China in a competition to produce 400,000 Canadian flags for the federal government. But the $294,000 contract awarded to Torontobased Scythes Inc. earlier this year has raised questions about whether the tendering process was fair. Scythes Inc., parent of Flying Colours International, was one of 18 firms that bid to produce small nylon flags for distribution to new Canadians at citizenship ceremonies. The company won the contract not because its prices were lower â&#x20AC;&#x201D; internal documents obtained

Flag wars This is Michael Blanchardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second bad experience with a flag order that Public Works has tendered on behalf of Citizenship and Immigration. In 2007, 12 bidders responded to a tender for 150,000 nylon flags â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 11 of them were declared technically non-compliant by a Public Works official. Scythes Inc. won that contest as well, with a $121,000 contract that was about $80,000 higher than Blanchardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid.

was the second-highest, behind another Ontario firm. Scythes got the contract because the other bidders submitted samples that a Public Works official said were technically non-compliant. Colours were off or staples were missing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smell very good here,â&#x20AC;? says Michael Blanchard, whose Ottawa-based Adware Promotions Inc. made a bid that was $220,000 cheaper, to be made in China. The purchase is also unusual because Citizenship and Immigration had budgeted only $140,000, requiring delivery by March 10, three weeks before the fiscal year end. THE CANADIAN PRESS

LIA GRAINGER/METRO

What’s your favourite season?

57% Jason Rovito, owner of specialty bookshop Of Swallows, Their Deeds, and the Winter Below, relaxes with some of his wares.

OPENING A NEW CHAPTER ON BOOKSTORES URBAN COMPASS

You won’t find The Da Vinci Code on the shelves of this little curiosity of a bookshop. Rather, climb the stairs at 283 LIA GRAINGER College St. and enter the cumMETRO TORONTO bersomely named Of Swallows, Their Deeds, and the Winter Below, and you’ll find titles like Nietzsche in Russia, The Aesthetic Dimension, or a perfectly weathered copy of Plato’s Theory of Knowledge, still in its original yellowing dust jacket. “I’d been talking to friends and collaborators about the need for a space like this in the city,” says owner and York PhD student Jason Rovito. He opened Of Swallows (for short) in April of last year, at a time when many independent bookstores were closing their doors, unable to complete with behemoths like Chapters and Amazon. How is Of Swallows able to stay in the game? It offers something the giant booksellers can’t: A community. Climb another flight of stairs above the shop floor and you’ll find its airy meeting room, where Of Swallows hosts seminars, workshops and discussions on eclectic philosophical topics like “The European Collapse and the Emergence of the Cognitive Precarious Subjectivity” and other intellectually meaty topics. The space also acts as the occasional home to the Toronto New School of Writing, the Foundation for Social Economics and a handful of creative collectives in need of a friendly space to congregate. Rovito himself spends much of his time in the shop conversing with customers about whatever might be on their minds. It’s this sort of daily exchange, he says, that sets today’s independent bookstore apart from the massive chains and online retailers. “Even if the books don’t always provide the content of the conversations, they do — in themselves and in their exchanging — provide the material conditions that allow for that other curious kind of exchange to take place,” says Rovito. Though he’s reluctant to categorize the types of books he sells, if he has to, Rovito goes with “scholarly.” There are no labels on the shelves, but books are clearly grouped into a few dominant areas of interest: There’s a healthy philosophy section, rows of texts on medieval studies, numerous titles on religion, and a wall of fiction and poetry. Nearly everything is second hand, and a good percentage of titles are out of print.

Vet performs mouth-to-beak CPR on eagle A Bend, Ore., veterinarian has performed life-saving CPR on an injured bald eagle that was under anesthesia during physical therapy. KTVZ-TV reports Jeff Cooney performed the therapy, during which the bald eagle nicknamed Patriot stopped breathing. Cooney’s “mouth-to-beak” resuscitation got the eagle breathing again.

“He has gained 10 per cent of his body weight and is eating fish like crazy,” Cooney said. “His attitude is greatly improved, and he’s starting to act like a normal, rambunctious bald eagle.” The injured eagle was found by two La Pine women near Crane Prairie Reservoir in June. The eagle had suffered, among other injuries, a dislocated shoulder and paralyzed right leg. Cooney says it’s uncertain whether he will be able to return the bird to the wild. If the bird’s foot doesn’t improve in the next three weeks, Cooney says he could be forced to euthanize him. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Weird Al still mocking stars and making music Yankovic talks about his new CD, his Lady Gaga cover and the struggling music industry ‘People just aren’t buying albums the way they used to,’ says the comedian PETER KRAMER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Since 1983, Weird Al Yankovic has released 13 albums, with six of them going platinum and four reaching gold status. It’s a pretty good batting average for any artist, and an especially great one for a comedianmusician. Yankovic says he used to think all of his albums would sell well, until now. “Back in the ’90s I was getting kind of cocky. I was just assuming that every album that I put out would go gold at least and now it’s a huge goal for anybody to reach that level,” he said. “People just aren’t buying albums the way they used to.” His latest release, Alpocalypse, debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 albums chart last month, selling about 44,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. “It’s still a huge thrill for me to make the Top 10 because that’s all relative ... but sales-wise, it’s not what it used to be,” Yankovic said. The album’s lead single is a parody of Lady Gaga’s No. 1 hit Born This Way. Yankovic says getting his version — called Perform This Way — out to

heard Yankovic’s cover, she approved his sample. “It was a little depressing actually,” Yankovic said about waiting to hear

back from Lady Gaga. “(I thought) I was never going to be able to release my Lady Gaga parody officially and that my album

was postponed indefinitely.” The new disc from the 51-year-old also features covers of Miley Cyrus’ Party in the USA, Taylor Swift’s You Belong With Me and Nothin’ On You by B.o.B and Bruno Mars. The three-time Grammy-winner says though getting approval from Lady Gaga’s team was tough, he usually hasn’t struggled to get clearances in the past. “Most artists look at the Weird Al parody as an homage and that’s certainly the way it’s intended,” he said. “You get your platinum album, you get your Grammy and then you get your Weird Al parody.

This is probably my favourite idea because it involves lessons in entrepreneurship. Lend your kids $10 as “seed money” for supplies, or better yet,

let them use their own money from savings. This way, they don’t get used to the idea that borrowing leads to prosperity. Take the kids along to the grocery store one morning and let them pick up the lemons, sugar, cups and a couple bags of ice to keep in a cooler by their stand.

5. Teach your kids to ﬂy a kite Check your 10-day forecast and look for a windy day in the coming week. Pick up an expensive kite for the kids — it’s worth the investment. I even recommend springing for the extra spool of kite string on a roller because the string and handles that come with the kites are lousy.

Getting gas from garbage ISTOCK PHOTO

Landfills collecting methane gas to turn it into a renewable fuel BEN KNIGHT

GREEN@METRONEWS.CA

The hottest buzzword in natural gas right now is “renewable.” At first, that seems impossible. The natural gas that heats our homes and fires our stoves is a finite, fossil fuel like oil — only renewable over millions and millions of years. Ah, but there are other ways of generating gas — and these can, in fact, be renewed. “It’s methane that is generated when organic matter gets broken down by bacteria,” says David Bennett, director of business development for FortisBC — a west-coast utility company now offering

small amounts of renewable natural gas to its customers. “We’re just taking the waste gas our landfill sites generate every day, and using it as fuel rather than allowing it to escape into the atmosphere — or burning it or otherwise wasting it.” Landfill sites are significant producers of natural gas. Most now have natural gas collection systems, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. “The raw gas coming out of the landfill has lots of carbon dioxide and sulfur and other things in it,” Bennett explains. “We have built a system that is like a mini gas purification plant. By the time this biogas gets into

the pipeline, its quality is equivalent to pipelinequality gas.” This process isn’t cheap. The purified renewable gas is twice as expensive at the traditional kind. “But in the program we offer our customers 10 per

cent of this biogas is blended into the customer’s natural gas stream,” says Bennett. “Your bill rises about $4 a month for the average household — and that reduces your greenhouse gas footprint by about 10 per cent.”

And this isn’t just a west-coast phenomenon. Gas utilities across Canada are studying ways to implement their own programs. Renewable gas is also becoming an evergrowing power supply in parts of Europe.

Power Bullfrog Power is offering renewable natural gas throughout Ontario. For an extra $1 per day, Bullfrog injects an amount of landfill-produced gas into the system, equal to the amount of regular natural gas burned by its customers. Expensive — but so good for the environment.

“There are enough sources right now to make a significant amount. This is probably the next step in recycling: we look at what we do with all kinds of organic waste — in cites and on farms — and how we can go about recycling that.”

Jays, Yankees sign off on spying allegations Teams moving on from sign-stealing saga after splitting 4-game series DARREN CALABRESE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

sports Quoted

Yunel Escobar tries to avoid the tag by New York’s Jorge Posada yesterday.

“I knew he was a nice horse, I love this horse and he has a real future ... I have to thank the owners and trainer for putting me back on him.” JOCKEY LUIS CONTRERAS, WHO GUIDED PENDER HARBOUR TO A STIRRING PHOTO-FINISH WIN BY A NOSE OVER BOWMAN’S CAUSEWAY IN THE $500,000 PRINCE OF WALES STAKES THOROUGHBRED RACE YESTERDAY.

Put the sign-stealing saga to bed. The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays are moving on. The issue was a hot topic throughout the four-game series between the American League East rivals after Yankees catcher Russell Martin suspected the Jays were relaying information from second base to the batter during Thursday night’s opener. Catchers often use multiple signs to try to eliminate any chance of an opponent picking up on something and using it to their advantage. It’s illegal for teams to steal signs from outside the field of play. The Yankees didn’t have much to worry about in yesterday’s finale, as the Blue Jays managed only

BLUE JAYS

four hits in a 7-2 loss to New York. Martin was back in the lineup after a day off and said he took some razzing from Toronto fans at Rogers Centre. “There were some guys in the stands wearing me out and stuff,” Martin said. “Like, ‘Did you get that sign, Russ?’ Whatever, it’s fine. It’s cool. I’m not worried about it anymore though.” Toronto scored eight runs in the first inning on Thursday night. The Jays had plenty of men on sec-

ond base throughout the 16-7 blowout. “You move your head one way it’s a fastball, you move your head the other way it’s a slider,” Martin said after the series opener. “It was pretty blatant.” Martin, a Toronto native who grew up in Chelsea, Que., made it clear the next day that he didn’t consider on-field sign stealing to be out of bounds. He was just angry at himself for not making adjustments earlier in the game. Manager Joe Girardi said he has no problem with players and coaches trying to steal signs, and it’s up to the defence to protect them. Then on Saturday, he suggested Toronto “could be” using devious means to acquire information from their rivals.

When asked about it, Jays manager John Farrell said his team doesn’t look “to any other means than what takes place in between the lines.” Girardi’s thoughts on the issue came after the Yankees played two of their worst games of the season. New York rebounded with a strong effort Saturday before earning a split in the finale. “As far as sign-stealing with a runner on second, I think everybody does it,” Jays reliever Jason Frasor said yesterday. “As far as somebody in centre field relaying the sign I think that’s far-fetched. I think our record is under .500 at home. If we’re doing that we’re not doing a very good job.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Japan claims its first World Cup Japan became the first Asian nation to win the Women’s World Cup yesterday, beating the United States in a penalty shootout after both sides were level at 2-2 after extra time. The Japanese denied the U.S. team the chance to become the first country to lift the Cup three times. The Americans missed their first three penalties, and Japan went on to win the shootout 3-1 when Saki Kumagai slotted the final shot high past goalkeeper Hope Solo. Japan was always driven by a greater purpose, hoping its success at the World Cup could provide some emotional relief for a nation still reeling from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. It paid off. The team displayed a banner reading “To our Friends Around the World — Thank You for Your Support” before the final, and coach Norio Sasaki inspired his players before the quarter-final win over favourite Germany by showing them pictures of the devastation. Yesterday the players were even more pumped us as the match approached its climax. In a thrilling finale, 32year-old Japan captain Homare Sawa flicked a corner through a jumble of players and past Solo with three minutes of extra time left to equalize and set up the shootout. “We ran and ran. We were exhausted but we kept running,” said Sawa, the top scorer in the tournament with five goals. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FRANK AUGSTEIN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Stanley Cup misses its flight out of Boston Thousands gather to see Nathan Horton bring trophy to Dunnville, but it shows up hours later than expected RANDY RISLING/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The Stanley Cup arrived a few hours later than expected in a small southwestern Ontario community yesterday. Thousands of people braved the heat in downtown Dunnville to celebrate recent champion Nathan Horton’s win and the cup’s arrival with a parade. But Horton told the crowd at around 1:00 p.m. the cup would be arriving late. Many of the people who had gathered for the event had already left by the time it arrived closer to 2:30 p.m. The cup was late because it was left behind in Boston. “I got into Buffalo (airport).

“I’m kind of embarrassed it’s not here.”

NATHAN HORTON, ON THE STANLEY CUP, BEFORE THE TROPHY SHOWED UP YESTERDAY.

gloved custodians of the cup. “It’s a little embarrassing. Poor Nathan.” The lines at Boston Logan had been horrendous. Borrow got the airport at 6:45

for an 8 a.m. flight. He said he told Jet Blue clerks that he had the Cup but wasn’t allowed to use the express line and he waited 45 minutes in the regular line. Jet Blue spokesman Sebastian White disputes this point, saying the crew in Boston told him they had no idea they Cup was in their midst. “The Cup was checked in at 7:37 am for an 8 a.m. flight, which is not enough time,” said White. “It’s so large, it has to go through oversized screening, separate from the normal throw-a-bag-on-the-belt. “Our team would have made an effort to get it through had they known.” THE CANADIAN PRESS WITH FILES FROM TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
