End game for Libya Gadhafi’s whereabouts unknown audio messages on state television
Libyan leader delivered series of angry and defiant Unit in charge of protecting capital surrenders GIANLUIGI GUERCIA/GETTY IMAGES
Libyan rebels raced into Tripoli in a lightning advance yesterday that met little resistance as Moammar Gadhafi’s defenders melted away and his 40-year rule appeared to rapidly crumble. The euphoric fighters celebrated with residents of the capital in the city’s main square, the symbolic heart of the regime. Opposition fighters captured Gadhafi’s son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam. The prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands said he would contact the rebels to discuss his handover for trial on charges of crimes against humanity. Reporters with the rebels said the fighters easily advanced from the west, took town after town — welcomed by residents — overwhelmed a major military base, then swept into the capital in a stunning turning of the tide in the six-month-old Libyan civil war. The fighters and Tripoli residents who support them flooded Green Square, shooting in the air in celebration. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Is privatized parking the way for Toronto to go? RENE JOHNSTON/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
When Toronto’s executive committee reconvenes next month, residents will learn if one of the city’s biggest assets is up for auction. Consultant KPMG, hired to identify ways the city can stopgap its massive $774-million deficit, suggested selling parking lots and garages owned by the Toronto Parking Authority, which annually pumps $50 million or more into the city’s operating budget.
Chicago’s example
the company doubled and quadrupled hourly rates. Then drivers discovered the city’s aging meters couldn’t handle the extra quarters needed to pay the higher fees and they began receiving tickets because of the equipment limitations.
Chicago, facing a 2009 deficit, decided to lease onstreet parking to a fund led by Morgan Stanley for close to $1.2 billion and a promise meters would be upgraded. But drivers protested when
The city-owned corporation boasts 17,500 on-street metered parking spaces and 20,000 off-street spaces in 20 garages and 140 sur-
face lots. “We can sell the TPA because it makes money. There will be people lining up to get a hold of it,” said

Coun. Shelley Carroll. “But that would be one-time money.” The TPA charges a maximum of $3.50 an hour for on-street parking and sets its lot prices at 75 per cent of any nearby competitor’s. But selling the garages could mean those rates go up. A private operator “will immediately triple the rates to compete with Impark and other (private) operators,” said Carroll.

Body believed to be missing woman’s TARA WALTON/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
Raquel Junio’s friends and colleagues hold vigil at work site Peel Regional Police say they have “reasonable suspicion” that a body found in a pond is that of a missing Brampton woman. Const. Adam Minnion said an autopsy set for today may confirm if a body found near Brampton is Raquel Junio, 42. The body was found Saturday in Palgrave, about 30 kilometres north of Brampton. Minnion said murder charges may be laid if the body is identified as Junio’s. Police had been searching for Junio since she was allegedly forced from her home and driven away in a pickup truck early Thursday morning. On Friday Junio’s estranged husband, Macdermid Ermacora, 43, was charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement and assault in connection with
the case. Family friends told the Toronto Star that the couple had been having domestic problems for several years. The couple’s three-yearold daughter and Junio’s teenaged son from a previous relationship are being cared for by a family friend. On Saturday, the same day the body was recovered, police charged a second suspect in the case — 42-year-old Gary Murray — with the same offences. Peel police allege the second suspect is directly involved in the crime, not an accessory to it. “These are not accessory-after-the-fact charges. We have reason to believe, based on the evidence, that he was directly involved in the kidnapping,” Minnion said. THE CANADIAN PRESS/WITH FILES

Justice 23 years in the making TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
Jail guard subjected to racial taunts Human Rights Board says centre was ‘poisoned by discrimination’ After 23 years, jail guard Mike McKinnon’s human rights complaint against the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services has finally been resolved, but he’s not crowing about the “substantial” outof-court settlement. “I feel betrayed by the government for allowing this to happen all these years,” said McKinnon, 55. “I’m still fielding calls from people that are in the system saying, ‘Mike, you are so lucky that you’re not here, it’s just as bad or worse, in some situations.’” Shortly after joining Toronto East Detention Centre in 1977, the Scarborough native of Cree descent found himself the subject of racial taunts. “I was called ‘chief,’ conversations were referred to as ‘powwows;’ my wife, who was then my girlfriend was referred to as a ‘squaw,’ ” recalled McKinnon who never hid his native ancestry, as some of his
colleagues did. “I self-identified. People asked me my background I told them what it was. I’m proud of my ancestry, but I wasn’t prepared for what was going to happen.” And he was further disappointed by his superiors’ response. “They seemed shocked that somebody would actually identify it and bring it forward,” said McKinnon. “You could see in their reaction, ‘Do you really want to come forward? You’re going to cause problems for yourself. Try and fit in.’” He witnessed or heard of similar experiences from black, gay and female staffers throughout the system. “It is a cesspool of inequity,” said McKinnon. “People are reluctant to come forward. When I first put my complaint in, there was no mechanism in my collective agreement to deal with it. I had to go to the human rights commission
which is going outside. “At hearings, I was finding out more stuff from people giving evidence. I was being referred to as “The FBI” — The f---ing big Indian. One manager indicated that he understood the native culture because when he was a little boy he used to watch cowboys and Indians on TV.” A decade later, in 1998, the human rights board of inquiry ruled in McKinnon’s favour, finding that the centre was “poisoned by racial harassment and discrimination.” Since then, McKinnon has been fighting for proper implementation of the tribunal’s orders, such as a human rights training program. The intricacies of the case contributed to its length, said Ontario Human Rights Commission spokesperson Rosemary Bennett. “We’re not thrilled with the time it took, but given the number of cases and
Jail guard Mike McKinnon
counter cases we’re not surprised,” she said. “This was not a garden variety race case. It was a systemic case, which are always more complex, involving such a large institution and in-
volved a whole lot of little cases.” In February, the tribunal ruled that the ministry “deliberately withheld information and documents that were vital to the case” and
for the first time in its history, requested that the Divisional Court consider whether a deputy minister, Jay Hope, was in contempt of its orders. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
One dead as tornado devastates Goderich @RACHFEE/TWITTER
A powerful tornado that swept through the southwestern Ontario town of Goderich yesterday killed one person and caused severe devastation in the picturesque community. Downtown businesses, century-old buildings and several churches lost their roofs and upper floors as the twister ripped through Goderich. Images show downed power lines, trees and de-
bris strewn across streets, while witnesses described cars being picked up and thrown like toys. Police identified the victim as Norman Laberge, 61, of Lucknow, Ont., who was working in a salt mine in Goderich when the storm hit. Police aren’t giving any further details of the circumstances of the death. An Environment Canada damage survey team con-

The tornado has been rated as a high-end Fujita scale 2 with winds of up to 240 km/h or low-end Fujita scale 3 with winds near 250 km/h, Environment Canada said in a statement issued last night.

Arctic caribou given quarter, biologists say
Burger King gets fresh, loses plastic head
Two years ago scientists feared northern caribou were at the edge of collapse. Now, as scientists from around the world gather in Yellowknife to compare notes, biologists are beginning to see signs that the worst is past for an animal so central to the Canadian imagination it’s on the back of the quarter.
The King is dead, but the burger lives on. Burger King Corp. on Friday said it is retiring its longtime “The King” mascot. The move is an effort by the struggling fast food chain to boost slumping sales by focusing its marketing on the freshness of its food rather than the funny-factor of its ads.

Uneasy truce in Gaza AHMAD GHARABLI/AFP/GETTY IMAGES
Abbas’ Palestinian Authority planned to use renewed violence to bolster its case for statehood at UN next month, a spokesperson said Gaza militants agreed to a cease-fire with Israel to stop spiking violence, a Hamas official said yesterday, after a deadly attack on Israelis near the EgyptIsrael border set off a three-day round of Israeli airstrikes and rocket barrages from Gaza. The sudden flareup also threatened Israel-Egypt relations, after Egypt said five of its policemen were killed by Israeli fire as Israel’s troops and aircraft pursued the militants responsible for killing eight people Thursday. Egypt complained strongly as thousands demonstrated in Cairo, and Israel apologized. The senior Hamas official said yesterday afternoon that militant groups in Gaza agreed that the truce would go into effect last evening. Hamas security personnel would enforce the agreement
brokered by Egypt, the official said. He said Egypt told the groups that Israel would agree to halt its airstrikes only if the Palestinians stopped the rocket fire first. A spokesman for Israel’s government would not comment, and it was not clear if the cease-fire would take effect or hold. Earlier yesterday, a salvo of rockets from Gaza struck an empty school and sent thousands of Israelis into bomb shelters. Israel responded with airstrikes and diplomats scrambled to limit the violence. The diplomatic efforts were also aimed at limiting the damage from the deaths of the Egyptian policemen. Alongside the diplomacy, Israel threatened to intensify its attacks if the rocket barrages continue. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Storm complicates Pope’s youth mass DANI POZO/GETTY IMAGES
Pope Benedict XVI in Madrid yesterday.
Pope Benedict XVI urged more than 1.5 million young people to become missionaries for the faith yesterday, giving them words of encouragement as he concluded a glitchmarred church youth festival in Madrid and announced that the next edition will be in Rio de Janeiro in 2013. Benedict told the pilgrims at World Youth Day that they should not keep
their faith private but participate fully in the life of their parishes and remain in communion with the church. Hours earlier, a fierce thunderstorm during a prayer vigil had forced Benedict to cut short his remarks and slightly injured six people when a tent collapsed. Some makeshift chapels set up on the field’s perimeter were also damaged, forcing organizers to
announce yesterday morning over loudspeakers that not everyone would be able to receive Communion during the Mass. Yago de la Cierva, head of the World Youth Day organizing committee, said almost none of the young people received the Eucharist during Sunday Mass, a serious letdown for such fervent Catholics to be denied the sacrament.

Expecting more in patient care
First Air. Statement
Report found 83 per cent of respondents said health services either stayed the same or worsened since 2004 Most Canadians want greater input and accountability when it comes to patient care, including a formalized process to voice complaints about the health-care system, according to a new report. In its National Report Card on Health Care in Canada, the Canadian Medical Association enlisted pollster Ipsos Reid to assess Canadians’ attitudes toward the health-care system.

The survey found 87 per cent of Canadians agreed the patient charter should have a mechanism in place where citizens could complain about poor healthcare service. Most polled also supported the inclusion of an independent ombudsman to voice such complaints. Some 80 per cent of Canadians supported publishing the number of complaints to better see how jurisdictions were doing in relation to each other. And 88 per cent supported a system allowing citizens who were not receiving adequate care to seek and receive treatment in another jurisdiction. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Military eyes stealth snowmobile The Department of National Defence plans to develop a new stealth snowmobile for covert military operations in Canada’s Arctic, with $550,000 set aside to build a prototype.
Ottawa has posted a public tender for a hybridelectric snowmobile that would allow Canadian Forces soldiers to swoop silently across the frozen landscape. The vehicle would per-

Facebook has sent notes of apology and is changing automated systems that blocked environmental activists and other people from posting on like-minded Facebook pages. The activists weren’t victims of censorship, but rather an anti-spam computer algorithm. “Facebook is not — and has never been — in the business of disabling accounts or removing content simply because people are discussing controversial topics,” said Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes. The activists were flagged by an anti-spam program and told they couldn’t post for 15 days. Other users, including an
animal rescue activist, reported the problem, too. Some have even created new Facebook pages where people who’ve been blocked can commiserate. “The first feeling was surprise, because I’d been doing this for over a year, with no problem,” said Gloria Forouzan of Pittsburgh. “Then I found out a few others were blocked, and we all started getting angry.” Forouzan and others said they still don’t know what they did to trigger the blocks. Facebook didn’t provide details of the problem. To do so, they said, might help spammers find ways around the anti-spam software. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Anti-pipeline protests grow
Authentication & Legalization (Apostille) Visa Processing Services
A 68-year-old Toronto woman, Patricia Warwick, was among 50 environmental activists handcuffed and taken to jail yesterday on the second day of peaceful White House protests against TransCanada’s controversial Keystone XL pipeline. Fifty protesters are already in jail following their arrests on Saturday, the opening day of a twoweek civil disobedience campaign. They’re expect-
ed to be released tonight. U.S. President Barack Obama will decide by the end of the year whether to allow TransCanada to build the controversial, $7-billion US pipeline. It will transport millions of barrels of Alberta oilsands crude a week through the American heartland and to Gulf Coast refineries. Advocates say the pipeline will create thousands of American jobs.

ECLECTIC MIX OF MUSIC CAN POP UP ANYWHERE
It’s close to 3 a.m. on a Thursday night outside the Cameron House bar on Queen Street West, and the pavement is alive with music LIA GRAINGER and dancing. People of all ages METRO TORONTO bounce, twist and grin to the infectious rhythms that explode from the 12-piece band assembled on the street and on the scaffolding hugging the building high above. “This is Fedora Upside-Down,” shouts musician Michael Louis Johnson, lowering his flugelhorn to address the sweaty smiling audience. Then he raises his instrument to his lips and blasts a long steady note as the crowd below cheers. Over the past several months, you’ve likely seen the motley assortment of cultural ambassadors calling themselves Fedora Upside-Down. This loosely affiliated and highly inclusive collective of Toronto folk musicians and dancers have spent the summer taking over the city’s streets, parks, restaurants and bars with lively music and raucous dance parties. “We like to think of it as an urban folk collective,” says Mark Marczyk, 26. He’s the violin player for the band Lemon Bucket Orkestra, which claims to be “Toronto’s only Balkan-Klezmer-Gypsy-Party-Punk Super-Band.” Marczyk and several other musicians have brought together numerous Toronto folk music groups to create collective musical events and parties in unlikely places. There have been shows in Kensington Market, in the middle of Queen Street West, and in Trinity Bellwoods Park. At a typical Fedora Upside-Down event, you might see a Brazilian percussion band complete with Capoeira dance fighting, a flamenco troupe with stomping dancers, a Balkan Klesmer group with a twirling belly dancer, and an improvised collaboration of all three bands. “A city’s cultural and social makeup is built by immigrants who have their own ways of celebrating their culture every day,” says Marczyk. “This is an attempt to bring those groups together.” And it’s not just happening in streets and parks. Fedora Upside-Down now also has a permanent home, at the Cameron House every Thursday night. The name was inspired by busking, the ubiquitous musician with a cap thrown down to collect any offerings. But it also suggests the ethos of the group: That a musical celebration of many diverse cultures can happen anywhere at any time — you just need the people and the spirit to make it happen. Says Marczyk: “There’s a fedora upside-down on the pavement. What can you throw into the hat?”

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Letters HUDAK. I was outraged
and embarrassed when the talk of the day for the provincial election was whether one of the candidates had used marijuana in his childhood. I was hoping none of the world media would catch this useless conversation, which shows how pathetic our political status has become. Who will benefit from this kind of useless information? Are we going next to question the candidates whether they have ever urinated on themselves? This shows how pathetic we have become. It is sad to hear this kind of conversation in an election at a time when we have so many issues to tackle in our country or in our global village. There are outstanding issues that deserve our attention, whether it is the ailing health-care system, famine in Africa and elsewhere, political unrest, the mass killings that are happening in the Middle East and many other things. If the world community watches this, they will see us as pathetic humans who have lost their sense of direction. ABUBAKAR N. KASIM TORONTO

Rebel-lious festivalgoers hit look-alike A British comedian says he was attacked with a bottle at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival while dressed as Moammar Gadhafi. Jeff Mirza was handing out flyers on the street for his show, dressed as the embattled Libyan leader,
when a man approached and asked for a cigarette. Mirza said he shook his head and the man walked on, but when Mirza turned around he was hit on the back of the head with a bottle. He was not seriously hurt. Mirza is at the annual festival with his show Jihad: Heresy or Hearsay. The comedian said yesterday that most festivalgoers had been welcoming. He said “most people at the Fringe get the joke of me being dressed up as a washed-up dictator trying to sell the show.” Police say they do not believe the attack was racially motivated.

His grotesque love affair Hard work and horror drive Guillermo del Toro
Filmmaker seeks the extraordinary in the ordinary HANDOUT
2 scene Box office
Film writer and producer Guillermo del Toro, seen here with Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark star Bailee Madison, has loved the horror genre since childhood.
RICHARD CROUSE
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
Guillermo del Toro may be the world’s cuddliest boogeyman. When I enter the hotel room to interview the 47 year old producer of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, he stands up and hugs me. Not exactly what you anticipate from the master of horror. But then again, surprises are his stock in trade. From the eerie Pale Man character in Pan’s Labyrinth to the deadly mechanical scarab of Cronos, he has trained
viewers to expect the unexpected from his films. A career spent scaring the pants off people has given the director some insight on why we like to be terrified at the movies. “We try to look for the extraordinary in our ordinary lives,” he says. “That’s just the normal way we behave as spiritual beings. And horror movies allow us to live extraordinary experiences without having to go through extraordinary risk. “I have a harder time understanding reality shows than I have a hard time un-

derstanding genre films. Because genre films give you something you don’t get in real life. Reality shows give you people you would normally never talk to in real life. Why are you interested in watching them?” Not that the self-described workaholic has much time to watch reality TV. When he’s not execu-
tive producing Oscar nominated movies like Biutiful, he’s writing the much anticipated Lord of the Rings film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, or working on a new novel with his cowriter Chuck Hogan. Add to that the alien attack movie Pacific Rim which he’ll spend the next year filming in Toronto and you have
one of the busiest men in the business. “Hard work is pleasure for me,” he says, adding that luckily, “I have been surrounded by a system of enabling family and I submerge myself in my work.” A horror fan since childhood, (“I read Salem’s Lot in one sitting,” he says. “Eleven hours from eight a.m. to seven p.m. outside in the pool. I had a second degree burn because of that!”), he has simple criteria for the projects he accepts. “You should only get involved in things you love irrationally,” he says.

What the (bleep)? Have you noticed more F-bombs in PG-13 movies these days? It’s not your in head — filmmakers are bending the rules more and more 1
HANDOUT
Those extra expletives you’re hearing at the multiplex these days aren’t just echoes. PG-13 movies, officially allowed one nonsexual F-word per script, are making increased use of that allotment — and more — as filmmakers work the rules in a world where Rrated comedies full of both male and female trash talk have become a summertime staple. Recent PG-13 examples include F-bomb reactions to Ryan Gosling’s abs in Crazy Stupid Love, Bryan Cranston’s boorish behaviour in Larry Crowne and those rampaging robots in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. “Filmmakers are certainly using it more often, tak-

ing advantage of it,” says Joan Graves, head of the Motion Picture Association of America’s Classification and Rating Administration. Using the F-word outside of the R-rated world certainly isn’t a new phenomenon.
In fact, prior to the adoption of the PG-13 rating in 1984, the F-word would periodically pop up in PG movies. Even after the creation of the PG-13 rating, movies like Big and Beetlejuice sneaked in the F-word

and still secured a PG rating. Those days are gone, but the expletive isn’t — now uttered outside the province of the R-rating nearly as often as Hollywood does sequels. “Making a PG-13 movie, it’s always a pick-andchoose battle of where do you want to use one because, often with improvisation, a couple of F-words will creep into the movie,” says Crazy Stupid Love screenwriter Dan Fogelman. “So you want to pick the best one, the most appropriate one.” Actually, as watchers of The Social Network and The Tourist can attest, PG-13 movies occasionally have more than one F-word. So how the (bleep) does that happen? Officially, the MPAA’s Classification and Rating Administration’s guidelines state: “A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context.” But the MPAA’s guidelines then add that if twothirds of the rating board members believe that multiple F-words are used in a legitimate “context or manner” or are “inconspicuous,” then the movie could still be rated PG-13. Says the MPAA’s Graves of the rating board’s twothirds override for language: “It’s hard to explain. But if you’ve just seen the film and you think they’ve been innocuous, or they’re an hour and a half apart, or they’re in the background or not emphatic. Or sometimes they’re in the same scene, just repeated twice.” Each of those qualities can make a difference to the board, Graves notes. “All the raters are parents, and they’re charged with rating a film the way they think a majority of American parents would rate the film,” Graves adds.

When keeping it real goes wrong
MATT SAYLES/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Experts fear more real-world turmoil for those who seek fame on reality TV series EVAN AGOSTINI/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Reality came crashing in on Russell Armstrong. With the second season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills set to premiere in a few weeks, and a pending lawsuit and divorce, the venture capitalist-turned reality personality hanged himself. Armstrong left behind no note explaining why, leaving others to indict and de-
fend a genre that has seen its share of off-screen turmoil that often dwarfs the drama caught on camera. The headlines include a murder, drug trafficking, overdoses, financial ruin, and custody disputes and divorces that play out in the
tabloids as much as they do courtrooms. Experts caution reality TV is not solely to blame, but the full impact on its participants and audience is not yet known. At least temporarily, Armstrong’s suicide has shaken one of the genre’s brashest franchises. Bravo, which airs The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, is re-editing the show’s second season, which had planned to focus on the marital strife between Armstrong and his wife, Taylor. The network did not say how it would alter the unaired
episodes, or whether it would incorporate any mentions of suicide prevention re-

sources. Beyond Housewives, few people, including Russell Armstrong’s own attorney, expect the suicide to have broad implications for the reality show industry. “I don’t think it’ll make any difference at all,” attorney Ronald Richards said in an interview. He said he hoped the show would remove Armstrong from its storyline altogether, but said his client had been warned of the pitfalls of appearing in a reality series before signing on. Housewives has since its debut in 2006 thrived on the divorces, foreclosures and tempers of its wellheeled cast members’ lives. The Washington, D.C., version starred a couple accused of crashing a state dinner at the White House, and the first season of the New Jersey version ended with one housewife angrily calling a fellow cast member a “whore” and over-

turning a table while the woman’s children looked on. Stars of current hit shows such as Jersey Shore have revelled in bad behaviour, while even those that aim to help have been rocked by off-screen tragedy. Two alumni of Celebrity Rehab — actor Jeff Conaway and former Alice In Chains bassist Mike Starr have died after their seasons aired. The precise impact of the shows on their stars’ later lives is difficult to determine, yet the Armstrongs are just one of many couples whose relationship failures have been chronicled by reality TV. “It’s really hard to know what would have happened to these people otherwise,” said Karen Sternheimer, a sociology professor at the University of Southern California. “We don’t have a control group of other drama queens.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tie the knot on a budget With Kim Kardashian’s wedding nuptials to Kris Humphries rumoured to be in the millions of dollars, we take a look at wedding planning for those of us with thinner wallets THE CANADIAN PRESS/ VINCENT ELKAIM
Decades of brides have walked down the aisle sporting something old, something new, something borrowed or something blue. Jessica Kavanagh’s clients can also boast something black — the bottom line of their wedding day budget. Kavanagh, 23, may have had to spend hours walking the bride through second-hand stores in search of the perfect dress and likely devoted days to arranging the nuptial flowers by hand to keep costs down, but believes the time is always well-spent. Creating a big day on a small budget is a key focus of her Toronto event planning business, J. Kavanagh Events, and weddings are no exception. If anything, Kavanagh says, a marriage celebration represents an ideal time to exercise fiscal Wedding co-ordinator Jessica Kavanagh, right, arranges owers with her client Alyson MacKenzie. Kavanagh oers wedding planning services for those on a budget.
Trim the fat Here’s some ways to save. Invites Digital printing outlets offer a cheaper way to print wedding invites. Wedding dress Visit a second-hand store for the dress, says Darsi Pizzalato. “Any item being used on the wedding day is being used for 12 hours. Unless she’s doused a bottle of wine on her, the dress is still new.� Accessories Websites like Esty.com offer brides an affordable place for accessories. Flowers Bouquets used for the ceremony can be reused as centrepieces at the reception.
restraint. “Yes, this is your wedding and it’s so exciting and a big life moment, but this is like the pregame show to the marriage. It’s only one day,� Kavanagh said. “It’s just a celebration, not the be-allend-all of your life.� The first thing Kavanagh needs to adjust is not the price of the entire event but the expectations of the couple tying the knot, she said. She urges couples to look beyond traditional wedding vendors and time-honoured venues, saying conventional thinking can often lead to a dizzying price-tag.
Organic purees for babies: Tasty for little ones, handy for parents.
“People won’t remember you for your wedding, but they probably will remember if you’re a great couple.� JESSICA KAVANAGH, WEDDING PLANNER
Kavanagh’s advice struck a chord with Alison MacKenzie, whose budget for her October wedding threatened to spiral out of control without some timely intervention. She and her fiance were willing to shell out for their wedding attire, their rings and an open bar re-
ception, but felt the rest of needed a thriftier touch. Their decision to serve cocktails and appetizers instead of a sit-down dinner went a long way to keeping costs down, MacKenzie said, adding Kavanagh stepped in with other suggestions. “Jessica was great about warming me up to the idea of doing our own flowers,� she said. “You don’t have to spend 50 to 100 bucks for centrepieces. We’ll have flowers throughout the venue, but we’ll do those ourselves.� MacKenzie’s guests will mingle at the reception in the glow of cost-effective

candlelight and munch on cupcakes instead of a traditional, pricier wedding cake. They won’t leave bearing a conventional wedding favour, but will learn that a donation has been made in their name to a charity that matters to the couple. MacKenzie said these decisions will allow her and her fiance to celebrate their big day with a clear conscience. “We didn’t want to be saddled with a huge Visa bill or debt at the end of it,� she said. “That’s a great way to start your marriage, ‘Let’s talk about a repayment plan.’� THE CANADIAN PRESS

The perfect summer quiche Cheese quiche with onions, red peppers & turkey will be a brunch hit Use chicken if it suits your taste THE CANADIAN PRESS/ DAIRY FARMERS OF CANADA
You don’t always get what you pay for – especially when it comes to insurance Are You Paying Too Much? The motto “you get what you pay for” used to be true of most things, but the times, they are changin’, and this is no longer true for many things, most notably car insurance. In fact, you could be paying hundreds, or even thousands of dollars more than you should for your coverage. How is this possible? It is somewhat complicated to explain, but, to sum it up: Insurance companies base their rates on their experience with similar driver profiles and cars. Since no two companies’ experiences are exactly the same, it is rare that different companies will give you the same potential insurance premium for your profile and car.
Experience Counts It has been statistically proven that drivers over 50 years of age have fewer accidents and tickets than the average, and this means that there are more potential savings to be found for more experienced drivers. In fact, some companies actually specialize in serving the mature market, so it’s definitely worth comparing rates.
Loyalty May Not Pay If you are getting a loyalty discount you might be thinking that you are better off staying with your current insurance provider. This might be true, but it’s impossible to be certain without doing some research. You just might find that the potential savings far outweigh any loyalty discount being offered.
This recipe will serve six.
Using a few pantry staples like cream and eggs, this quiche can be whipped up for a patio brunch and will quickly become a family favourite. Aged cheddar cheese adds a zip of flavour to turkey while the green onions and roasted red peppers add colour and texture.
Preparation:
1 2
Preheat oven to 190 C (375 F). Sprinkle the cheese in the bottom of a pie shell. Add turkey, roasted red pepper and green onions; using fork, toss gently to combine and spread evenly.

In a medium bowl, whisk together cream and flour. Add eggs and salt and whisk until everything is well combined. Slowly pour over cheese mixture, using fork to allow cream mixture to fill pie shell even-

Swim, drink, rock out RICHARD LAUTENS/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
Environmental water group pairs people’s love of music with their aims to protect Canadian water BEN KNIGHT
GREEN@METRONEWS.CA
“It’s a partnership, really, between artists and activists — sharing great music.” That’s Mark Mattson, president of the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper organization, describing the Swim Drink Fish Music Club. For a $10 annual fee, music lovers concerned about the environment get to download new and special songs — from Gord Downie, Bruce Cockburn and a wide range of emerging and indie artists. “The name represents swimmable, drinkable,
fishable water,” Mattson explains. “The artists give us exclusive tracks, we put them up on the club and share them with anyone who’s a member. They can put these songs on their iPods and computers and keep them forever. There’s over 75 tracks now — unique and varied.” The membership money supports the work of your local waterkeeper. So what’s a waterkeeper? “We’re part of the Waterkeeper Alliance, that’s headed up by Robert Kennedy, Jr.,” says Mattson, who’s also an experienced criminal lawyer.
Who are they?
From big names, to local talents, they’re all helping with the Swim Drink Fish Music Club
Mark Mattson, president of Ontario Waterkeeper, has found a way to use people’s love of music to empower their projects to help Canadian waterways.
“We have a fulltime person on the water, protecting and celebrating the lake. We use democratic tools to do that. We’ll go
to court, to environmentalassessment processes, bringing evidence, etcetera. But we also do things like Swim Drink Fish Music.” The music club started in 2009, and is supported by a wide variety of concerned musicians. “Music has been a big part of the Waterkeeper Alliance, because we’re so close to the communities along the lakes and rivers, and so many musicians and artists live there. Fraser River Waterkeeper is in-
volved in British Columbia, also the Ottawa River Waterkeeper, and we’re expanding to Miami — the Biscayne Waterkeeper — in the next couple of weeks.” It’s an intriguing way of supporting the environment, while broadening your music collection with some sensational sounds — like Gord Downie and the Sadies teaming up to cover Randy Newman’s haunting flood song, Louisiana. “We’re hoping that all
Big names For a low annual fee, club members have exclusive access to an evergrowing catalogue new songs from a wide range of recording artists — including Bruce Cockburn, Pete Seeger and Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie. Local talent Western Canada is well-represented in the Swim Drink Fish Music Club. Contributing acts include Paper Moon from Winnipeg, Vancouver’s Belinda Bruce and Arctic rockers White Walls, from Yellowknife.
130 waterkeepers across North America will soon be involved. There’ll be more and more music coming from different regions, really linking both the environmentalists and the artists together, I’m hoping we’ll find some synergy there.” For more info — or to join: swimdrinkfishmusic.com

Taking a peek at your posts It’s easier than ever to monitor what an employee are doing online
But will doing so land the looker in trouble? ISTOCK
While governments and courts grapple with what online activities are and are not private, new programs have emerged to make it easy for bosses to keep tabs on everything from Facebook comments to pubs that workers have visited and noted on Foursquare. “This is a radically evolving area of law right now,” says Brian Bowman, a Winnipeg lawyer with Pitblado Law who specializes in privacy issues. “What is public and what is private is the moving target right now.” Companies don't even need to have their own staff comb social media sites for employees' activities.

Laws of the land Privacy laws in British Columbia, Alberta and other jurisdictions have set out, at least in very broad terms, what kind of personal information can be accessed by third-parties such as employers. Alberta's law, for example, requires companies to notify employees about any collection of private information. But it's not clear whether online social media posts would be considered private.
er reviewing what people are up to on social media,” said Metro Canada columnist Daniel Lublin, a Toronto employment lawyer with Whitten and Lublin who specializes in wrongful termination cases. “There are many examples of ... people being fired because of the reputational risks that it poses for the company.” Lublin says anything posted online is considered public, and the only hurdle is whether your online activity is bad enough to justify bring disciplined or fired. “Then you have a more contextual analysis. The context being, is there prior employment discipline, is this person a manager or in a position of trust or authority, is there a reasonable justification for what happened?” But Bowman disagrees. He says courts are still working out what is considered private. “A lot of cases hinge on this idea of a reasonable standard (of privacy),” Bowman said. “We get calls from some employees and they've got a group of 10 friends and perhaps one of their friends on Facebook shows their employer something. In most cases, we'd say, 'Yeah, you probably have a reasonable expectation of privacy.' In other cases, where you've got 1,000 friends ... and you're posting things that you really shouldn't be posting, it's a tougher argument to make.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Stretching out the summer earnings You’ve put a few pennies in your pocket but school’s about to suck them up
Make that moola last all year
ISTOCK
The new school year is the perfect time to get a fresh start, but it can also be an expensive time of year for students leaving for university or college. As the summer winds to a close, realizing just how much money you'll need for tuition, books and living expenses can be a real eye-opener — but it is possible to stretch your summer income throughout the school year. Here are some tips:
look at alternative solutions
If your budget is coming up short, start looking into some cost-saving options. For example, textbooks can be a huge expense, but if the course material hasn’t changed from last year, buy used at half the price. Need furniture for your dorm room? Hit the garage sales or check online for deals on discounted or used items before heading to Ikea.

Off to a great start Luis Perez perfect through five innings in his first big league start Jose Bautista hits 36th homer to give Blue Jays win over Athletics DINO VOURNAS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
sports Quoted
“The good thing is there’s a week, eight days to the start of the Open. I’m confident I can recover and be ready for the U.S. Open.” NOVAK DJOKOVIC, AFTER HE WAS FORCED TO RETIRE IN THE SECOND SET YESTERDAY AT THE WESTERN & SOUTHERN OPEN BECAUSE OF A SORE RIGHT SHOULDER.
Scan code for more sports news.
Luis Perez pitches against the Athletics yesterday.
So confident in his sinkerball starter, Toronto manager John Farrell left Luis Perez in the game to get out of his own basesloaded jam with the game on the line. Perez calmly took care of it — composed, as if he’d done this many times before. Perez pitched six brilliant innings in his first big league start and combined with Casey Janssen on a one-hitter, and Jose Bautista connected for his majors-best 36th home run to send the Blue Jays over the Oakland Athletics 1-0 yesterday. “I felt great. I wasn’t feeling tired,” Perez said through his translator, Blue Jays coach Luis Rivera. “I was happy he had the confidence in me to pitch and finish the in-

ning with the bases loaded.” Bautista broke up a scoreless game with a deep drive into the left-field bleachers on the 10th pitch he saw from Guillermo Moscoso (6-7) leading off the seventh. Perez (3-2) didn’t allow an A’s runner until Cliff Pennington drew a fivepitch walk to start the
sixth. Jemile Weeks later singled up the middle to load the bases, but Perez induced an inning-ending double play by Coco Crisp with his final pitch. Perez had made 29 relief appearances this season and was a starter throughout his minor league career. “He’s a confident kid,” catcher J.P. Arencibia said. “If he’s going to get beat, he’s going to get beat attacking guys.” The 26-year-old left-hander — Oakland’s ninth opposing lefty starter in 14 games — struck out four and walked two while throwing 80 pitches. He baffled Oakland’s hitters with a fastball that moved and also mixed in his changeup. Pretty good for a guy who hadn’t gone more
than four innings since May 15 while in triple-A. For his career, he had only eight appearances of two or more innings in the big leagues. Perez said he didn’t think about being perfect or his no-hit bid, but rather to keep going after the Oakland batters. “I hadn’t started a game and I didn’t know how far I was going to go,” Perez said. “Mentally I stayed strong. Each inning I pitched better and better. I kept attacking hitters and throwing strikes.” Janssen struck out five in three innings, earning his second save in three chances this season and ninth of his career. Closer Frank Francisco warmed up but his shoulder stiffened up and he couldn’t go. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Canadian paddles to her second gold medal Canada’s Laurence VincentLapointe beat a strong field to win the women’s C-1 200 metres yesterday, claiming her second gold medal at the world canoe and kayak championships. The 19-year-old paddler from Trois-Rivieres, Que., crossed in 48.876 seconds to defend her world title in the non-Olympic event. Maria Kazakova of Russia was second, while Staniliya Stamenova of Bulgaria won the bronze. “I was caught off guard by the fast start by the field and that made me more nervous during the race,” Vincent-Lapointe said. “My arms were really burning up as I approached the finish line. This was the strongest field I’d ever faced.” The Canadian’s victory came a day after she and Mallorie Nicholson of Oakville, Ont., took gold in the C-2 500-metre final. The win was Canada’s third at the world championships. Adam van Koeverden of Oakville started things off with a victory in the men’s K-1 1,000 on Friday. Mark De Jonge of Halifax earned an Olympic quota spot for Canada with his sixth-place finish in the men’s K-1 200 metres. “It was a very satisfying race,” said De Jonge. “I had known since May I was going to race this event at worlds so it was a long build-up practising every day with the objective to get the Olympic spot for Canada. It was a good feeling to deliver when it was time.” Piotre Siemionowski of Poland won the gold. Britain’s Edward McKeever was second, while Germany’s Ronald Rauhe was third. Canada earned three Olympic quota spots at the world championships. The final opportunity to gain spots will be at the Pan American Games in October in Mexico. In other non-Olympic events, Mark Oldershaw of Burlington was fifth in the C-1 5,000 while Van Koeverden was fifth in the K-1 5,000. THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘You have not heard the last of me’ Ex-Roughriders head coach Greg Marshall disappointed that he didn’t get to finish the job FRANK GUNN/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Eight games wasn’t enough for Greg Marshall. One day after being fired as the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ head coach, Marshall said Saturday he was disappointed he wasn’t given the chance to turn around a dismal start to the season. “I thought that if there were some bumps along the way that time would be given to fix what needed to be fixed,” he said. Marshall’s first headcoaching job ended on the heels of Thursday’s 24-18 loss to the Toronto Argonauts, dropping Saskatchewan to a leagueworst 1-7 record. He was replaced by Ken Miller, who previously led the team to two straight Grey Cup appearances before becoming vice-president of football operations
in the off-season. Marshall thanked the team’s personnel and fans but made it clear he disagreed with his dismissal. “I understand that in this business the powers that be have the right to make any of the decisions they choose, even if it means taking the easy way out and not the right way,” he said. Marshall’s season started off with three straight losses before the team managed a 27-24 victory over Montreal in July. That big win was the Riders’ last, and Marshall said the decision to fire him and offensive co-ordinator Doug Berry wasn’t a surprise. “There were some things going on, a little bit of red flags. It wasn’t a total shock.”
He declined to say what the red flags were. Marshall came to the Riders highly regarded as an assistant coach with 17 years of experience after spending nine seasons as a defensive lineman with the Ottawa Rough Riders. He was signed by Miller to a three-year deal with Saskatchewan even though he was reportedly not the first choice of general manager Brendan Taman. But, under Marshall’s watch, the Riders were plagued by turnovers, bad penalties and missed opportunities. Marshall spent years applying for head coaching positions and said he hopes to lead a team again. “You have not heard the last of me.”
Then-Riders coach Greg Marshall watches his team play Toronto on Thursday.
