Local Libyans rejoice over country’s future Gadhafi’s overthrow greeted as a dream come true by tight-knit community here

Ibrahim Momen compares the fall of Moammar Gadhafi’s compound to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Nothing could ever be the same again. “I am ecstatic,” said the 58-yearold Toronto-based financial adviser. He is part of a community group that has raised nearly $4 million from the 3,500 Libyans across Canada to send medical staff and supplies such as baby formu-

la to help civilians in their homeland. For Momen, watching his country enjoy a taste of the freedom that kept him in Canada since 1981 is an extraordinary feeling. “People are smiling,” he said. Tears poured down Adel Esayed’s face as the 47-year-old watched the breach of Gadhafi’s compound with his family. “I was always praying for God to extend my life to see this day. That

was my dream,” said the chair of engineering at Niagara College. Another prayer was answered soon after. On Wednesday, he had one of his first ever open, unguarded phone conversations with his family in Tripoli. Fear of the Gadhafi regime usually confined them to the basics. While many local Libyans celebrated, a 24-year-old IT worker who left his job in Ottawa to work

with Libyan rebels has reportedly been killed while storming a compound believed to be occupied by Moammar Gadhafi, his friend says. Haitham Alabadleh, of Ottawa, said his friend, Nader Ben Raween, had been shot and killed Tuesday by one of Gadhafi’s snipers. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE/ WITH FILES FROM METRO IN OTTAWA

One man’s trash is another man’s tomato CONTRIBUTED

The hot-house peppers and tomatoes you enjoy in the winter may soon be grown with garbage. Remasco, which burns York Region’s garbage in two units at a Kingsville greenhouse, conducted a public-consultation meeting this week, one of the last requirements of a lengthy environmental screening process for its en-

ergy-from-waste pilot project. The fuel for the plants is household garbage, which is sorted, then compressed into pellets at a facility in Vaughan. “We’ve been developing the technology for four years, from a little prototype unit, and then from there to our pilot facility,” says Jim Gallant, who with Bert Mucci owns Remasco.

Mucci also owns Southshore greenhouses. That’s where the garbage is being burned to create the heat needed to extend the growing season for greenhouses that house peppers. It’s the first time the technique has been put to this use in Ontario, but it still needs final approval from the environment ministry. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Officer approached car after finding licence plate wasn’t registered Hauled about 75 metres: Police An 18-year-old man was led into court in a wheelchair Thursday to face charges of attempted murder after a Toronto police officer was dragged 75 metres following a traffic stop early in the morning. Stephan Cummings of Toronto, clad in a white sweatshirt, jeans and missing a running shoe, did not speak during a brief court appearance. His shirt appeared to be blood-soaked and he appeared to have some facial swelling. Cummings faces four charges, including attempted murder, dangerous operation causing bodily harm, failure to stop for police and failure to comply with probation. Police said the accused was not injured, and could not clarify the discrepancy

‘Very similar’ This incident is similar to one in June in which York Region police Const. Garrett Styles, 32, was dragged 300 metres and pinned beneath a vehicle, where he died. A 15-year-old youth who has been paralyzed since then is facing a first-degree murder charge. “This was very similar,” Const. Tony Vella said of Thursday’s incident. “There is obvious concern, but those are the risks officers face day in and day out.”

between that statement and the fact Cummings was moved to the courtroom in a wheelchair. Police from 54 Division

were in the area of Pharmacy and Danforth avenues just after midnight when they noticed a 2000 Chevy Cavalier in the driveway of a highrise building. Officers stopped the car, and as one of them approached the driver door, it suddenly opened, Const. Tony Vella said. With the officer inside the driver’s side of the door, the car then reversed and accelerated, pinning the officer and dragging him, Vella said. “(The officer) did manage to break free,” he added. The officer suffered serious but non-lifethreatening injuries, including a sprained ankle and bruising, Vella said. Police did not release his identity. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Group denied permit to march topless

WEEKEND, AUGUST 26-28, 2011

Celebrate. Early

City says request violated municipal code Group complains that it’s based on inequality The City of Toronto has denied a group of women permission to bare their breasts and hold a demonstration in a public park. But the women are determined to at least march at the park’s edge. GoTopless, a U.S.-based organization, was planning to hold its first Canadian protest at Ashbridges Bay Park this Sunday. Similar annual events have occurred in cities such as Chicago, New York and Miami. Members of the GoTopless Canadian chapter are annoyed that Toronto’s parks, forestry and recreation department turned down their request to “exercise our freedom,” said Sylvie Chabot, one of the event planners. “We’re women who just want to be equal with men, that’s all,” she said. The event echoes a tenet of the Raelian religion about sexual equality. “As long as men can go top-

GoTopless GoTopless has started a petition with a target of 7,000 signatures, aiming to get the Toronto municipal code modified in accordance with a famous Ontario Court of Appeal verdict. That 1996 ruling set Gwen Jacobs free after she was arrested on a hot summer day in 1991 for taking off her shirt in public. That judgment effectively made it officially legal to go topless in Ontario.

less,” Chabot said, “women should have the same constitutional right or men should also be forced to wear something that hides their chests.” She claimed the city based its decision solely on the fact that the women planned to appear without clothing on top, a decision she described as inequitable. An email ex-

change shows that a permit officer asked whether “women participants will be topless,” to which organizers answered yes, “men and women will be equally topless.” “That question is discriminatory,” said Chabot. “It’s like asking, ‘Will black people participate in the protest?’” But customer-care manager Mark Lawson said the decision was based on the fact that some details of the event violated the municipal code. “We ascertained the nature of the event and a decision was made not to issue the permit,” he said, refusing to specify which restrictions the department deemed to be violated. At the Sunday demonstration, women participants plan to go topless while men will wear a bikini top to show support for equal rights, Chabot said. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

wiped away tears and took a quiet moment before speaking to reporters. “People are definitely in a mourning process now, but I think coming out of the mourning people will be re-energized to show that there is another option in Ontario, there is a different choice.” She acknowledged that the Ontario NDP was counting on help from Layton in the campaign after he led federal New Democ-

LIBRARIES KNOW WHO’S WHO Authors gather to launch Why My Library Matters to Me contest Atwood doesn’t relish fight with Fords In between the zingers she directed at the men she has called “Twin Fordmayor,” at a news conference organized by the librarians’ union, Margaret Atwood insisted she doesn’t relish her ongoing battle against Mayor Rob Ford and Coun. Doug Ford, who are not twins. “I don’t need it in my life, no,” she told the Toronto Star after the news conference. “But as I said, I didn’t start it. I retweeted a petition, then other people made these comments. I didn’t make them.” A moment later, she added: “I do have other things to do in my life. But once they start, of course, then you have to.” Doug Ford inadvertently turned the celebrated Canadian novelist into the de facto leader of the battle against cuts to Toronto’s library system. After she endorsed an anti-cuts union petition and mocked Ford’s assertion that his ward has

more libraries than Tim Hortons restaurants, Ford told reporters: “Well, good luck to Margaret Atwood. I don’t even know her. If she walked by me, I wouldn’t have a clue who she is.” On Thursday, Atwood joined eight other Canadian writers for the launch of the Toronto Public Library Workers Union’s Why My Library Matters to Me essay and video contest. She began her remarks as follows: “Hello, my name is Margaret Atwood. You may not recognize me, but that’s OK, because this is not about me.” The writers each made heartfelt statements about the value of libraries. Before he got to his, mystery

novelist and former Star funnyman Linwood Barclay joked that he was pleased to “finally” learn what Atwood looks like. “Sometimes authors’ profiles are not as high as they should be, or we would like them to be. In fact, I have a solution to that. I have brought with me today application forms for all of us here on the platform — applications to join the Lingerie Football League,” Barclay said. Doug Ford’s daughter, Krista, is the captain of Toronto’s LFL expansion team. Library union president Maureen O’Reilly also took a shot at Ford. Introducing Judy Fong Bates, whose Midnight at the Dragon Café is the library system’s “One Book” selection for 2011, O’Reilly said: “Maybe it will be the one book Doug Ford reads this year.” Ford did not respond to a request for comment.

Streetcars from the past will take you far JOHN GODDARD/TORONTO STAR

One hundred years ago, before paved roads, electric streetcar lines radiated from Toronto like spokes on a wheel — west to Port Credit, and even as far as Guelph, northwest to Woodbridge, north to Sutton on Lake Simcoe and east to the far end of Scarborough at West Hill. They were called radial railways. In their heyday, between 1900 and 1920, they connected Toronto and other Canadian urban cen-

tres to suburban ones. Remnants of the era still survive. On a rural stretch west of Milton, near Guelph, serious hobbyists have replaced a track and refurbished vintage cars to recreate an electric streetcar experience otherwise lost to history. The roots of the Halton Radial Railway Museum date back to 1953, when five Toronto men passionate about urban transit history learned that the

Caroline Rose and Jim Borland of the Halton County Radial Railway Museum stop for a treat at a streetcar ice-cream parlour.

Toronto Transit Commission was scrapping an old streetcar. Known as car 1326, it featured an all-wood interior, a coal-fired stove and a slatted floor for draining melted snow from passengers’ boots. After servicing downtown Toronto between 1910 and 1951, it was eventually consigned to a scrap heap for lack of space. The enthusiasts acquired it, bought land west of Milton and developed a muse-

um that opened in 1972. “Streetcars were our liberation machine,” says Jim Borland, president of the volunteer group that runs the museum. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Hitch a ride The site now ranks as Canada’s largest working railway museum, with more than two dozen streetcars, several other railway vehicles, giant display sheds and a barn-like restoration workshop. Volunteers relocated and restored the former Grand Trunk Railway station from nearby Rockwood. On any given day, two or three cars take visitors for rides on a 20-minute, four-kilometre loop. One car that once ran between London and Port Stanley retains its original stained glass window. A former TTC car built in 1933 features open sides. All creak and sway through a swath of forest that is home to foxes and deer, a quiet non-polluting mode of transportation that perhaps suggests the future as much as the past. Summertime visitors can hop off and enjoy ice cream at the Junction Ice Cream Parlour during the trek.

Whitby crash sends driver to St. Mike’s

College workers set to strike TORONTO. The union repre-

been airlifted to a Toronto hospital with serious injuries following a twovehicle collision in Whitby. Police say two cars collided at the intersection of Anderson Street and Darren Avenue this morning. One of the cars ended up on the sidewalk and the 33-year-old driver had to be extricated by firefighters. He was taken by ambulance to Oshawa airport, where he was transported by air to St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. The 48-year-old driver of the other car was not injured. The intersection was closed for several hours while police investigated.

senting support staff at the province’s 24 community colleges says workers are prepared to walk off the job Sept. 1 to back contract demands. Spokesman Rod Bemister says a strike notice has been filed with the council representing management as required under the Colleges Collective Bargaining Act. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union represents about 8,000 administrative staff, IT specialists, maintenance workers and others at the community colleges. Bemister says little progress is being made at the bargaining table. The two sides are continuing talks today and have scheduled three days of negotiations beginning Aug. 29. The main issues for the union include job security, benefits and wages.

It’s a deal: Rebels to get frozen cash Libyan assets freed up by U.S. and South Africa The U.S. and South Africa reached a deal Thursday that will release $1.5 billion in frozen Libyan assets to the cash-strapped rebels fighting to oust Moammar Gadhafi. The Libyan opposition said it urgently needs at least $5 billion in frozen assets to pay state salaries, maintain vital services and repair critical oil facilities. Analysts say as much as $110 billion is frozen in banks worldwide. Several European nations are also seeking to release funds, including Italy, which said it wants to release $505 million for the rebels. South Africa had

Other developments: A rebel onslaught on a Tripoli neighbourhood where snipers loyal to Moammar Gadhafi had holed up left bullet-riddled bodies in the streets, houses in flames and sewers running red with blood. There was no sign of Gadhafi or his sons, despite battlefield rumours they may be hiding in some besieged buildings. Canadian-born Nader Benrewin was shot dead while storming a compound believed to be occupied by Gadhafi. Benrewin had recently joined the rebels. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gadhafi fell for ‘Leezza’ Libyan rebels who took control of Moammar Gadhafi’s sprawling compound discovered a photo album with pictures of Condoleezza Rice. Over the years, Gadhafi’s comments and actions related to the former U.S. secretary of state have raised a few eyebrows. Consider how he talked about her in a 2007 TV interview: “I support my darling black African woman,” he said. “Leezza, Leezza, Leezza,” he added. “I love her very much. I admire her, and I'm proud of her, because she’s a black woman of African origin.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A federal government panel appointed to assess the impact of building new nuclear plants east of Oshawa has concluded the project is not likely to cause major environmental risk. The Ontario government is planning to build two new nuclear reactors at Ontario Power Generationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darlington site in the hopes of eventually producing about onetwelfth of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy supply.

The panel submitted its final report to the federal environment minister, Peter Kent, who will be responsible for approving or denying the project. Kent has held his position since early January.

Cartoonist attacked

S A L E

Syrian artist has hands broken by gunmen Illustrations recently grew bolder, more critical SYRIAN NEWS STATION/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A renowned political cartoonist whose drawings expressed Syrians’ frustrated hopes for change was grabbed after he left his studio early Thursday and beaten by masked gunmen who broke his hands and dumped him on a road outside Damascus. One of Syria’s most famous artists, Ali Ferzat, 60, earned international recognition and the respect of many Arabs with stinging caricatures that infuriated dictators including Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi and, particularly in recent months, Syria’s autocratic Assad family. He lay badly bruised in a hospital bed Thursday evening with his hands swathed in bandages, a stark reminder that no Syrian remains immune to a brutal crackdown on a five-month anti-government uprising. Ferzat remembers the gunmen telling him that “this is just a warning,” as they beat him, a relative said. “We will break your hands so that you’ll stop drawing,” the masked men said, according to the relative, who spoke anonymously.

What happened? Cartoonist Ali Ferzat left his studio at 4 a.m. Thursday. A jeep cut him off, according to the relative. Four masked gunmen then dragged him out of his car, bundled him into the jeep and drove him to the

airport road outside Damascus, beating him and making threats all the while. The men then singed the artist’s beard, put a bag over his head and dumped him on the side of the road.

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.

Austrian man’s two mentally disabled daughters allege four decades of rape Man denies accusations: Police RUDOLF BRANDSTAETTER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

A cameraman ﬁlms the entrance to the family’s house in St. Peter am Hart, Austria, on Thursday.

An 80-year-old Austrian man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of sexually abusing his two mentally disabled daughters for 41 years, and beating and threatening them to keep them subservient. Alois Lissl, a senior state police official, said the father is suspected of assault, torture or neglect of defenceless individuals, threat to life or physical condition, rape and other sex crimes. The man had been living in a senior citizens’ home. Lissl said the man will be questioned by an investigative judge who will decide whether to keep him confined. Police said the man’s daughters — now 53 and 45

years old — have accused him of repeatedly raping them at their home between 1970 and May 2011. The women said their father frequently warned he would kill them if they resisted, occasionally threatening them with firearms, said Lissl. They also said that their mother, who died several years ago, was also repeatedly abused by the suspect. Police have not named the man or the alleged victims. “They were seen in and around the house,” local police commander Martin Pumberger told state broadcaster ORF. “But the daughters were prohibited from any and all social contact.”

More than two weeks after riots, Britain’s government and police met social-media executives Thursday to discuss how to prevent their services from being used to plot violence. But authorities did not seek new powers to shut down Facebook, Twitter or BlackBerry Messenger in times of crisis. The four days of rioting, early August, during which five people died, were the worst civil disturbances to hit Britain since the 1980s. Police and politicians claim criminals used social media to co-ordinate looting sprees.

CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE LEADER AT A TIME THE METRO LIST PAUL SULLIVAN METRO

So much is happening this week, I may have to drop Kim Kardashian’s wedding. Goodbye, Mr. Layton: Jack leaves Parliament Hill one last time, not before leaving us with some words to live by: “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” You know, it just could work.

Goodbye, Mr. Jobs: The world’s foremost gizmologist, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, submits his letter of resignation. Not sure if he sent it in via his iPhone, iPad, iPod or iMac. Other people get kicked upstairs; Steve ascends into the Cloud.

Goodbye, Mr. Gadhafi: Sense a theme here? Libyan totalitarian nutbar Moammar Gadhafi slips away from his compound and heads for the tunnels where he is still able to broadcast stirring messages to his followers (the few who aren’t dead yet), exhorting them not to leave Tripoli to the “rats.” He should talk.

4 5

Goodbye, Mr. Robertson: CTV’s Lloyd Robertson, the dean of Canadian news anchors, retires Sept. 1. It’s the end of TV news as we know it, but he can’t stay up that late any more. Goodbye, Sidney?: A lot of disturbing rumours are swirling around hockey superstar Sidney Crosby, still recovering from the effects of a pair of nasty concussions suffered last season. Some people worry that he’ll never play again. Aw, it’s all in his head.

Hello, Lady Gaga: The alien pop star passes Oprah as Forbes’ most powerful female celebrity, but she’s still only No. 11 on the big list, trailing the likes of No. 1 Angela Merkel (chancellor of Germany), No. 2 Hillary Clinton ( U.S. secretary of state) and Charlotte Empey (my editor).

Welcome back, Carrie: Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia to a generation of smitten Stars Wars nerds, loses 50 pounds on Jenny Craig and vows to get back into that bikini she was forced to wear by Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. Now, if we could only get Jabba on Jenny Craig.

Look Out: It’s Margaret Atwood! Somehow the mayor of Toronto and his bro (Rob and Doug, eh?) have made an enemy of Margaret Atwood. Doug wants to know: Who’s Margaret Atwood? Just the worldfamous author of 40 books, winner of the Booker Prize, whose writing the New York Times calls “chillingly brilliant.” She has teamed up with eight other writers to launch the Why My Library Matters to Me contest. And she’s steamed that you’re trying to close libraries. You think Moammar Gadhafi has trouble?

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Letters JACK LAYTON. I have an

idea for Mr. Layton’s funeral Saturday. I think it would be nice if all Canadians wear orange to recreate the orange wave in his honour and memory. Obviously, many Canadians are mourning the great and charming man he was more than the politician. By wearing orange, it will mean that we are wearing Jack a bit closer to our hearts. Please help me spread the message and see if we can recreate the orange wave one more time for Mr. Layton. LINDA TACIANO TORONTO

Jack Layton’s political fight on behalf of all Canadians is not finished but only begun. The man, his sprit, his drive to succeed is still alive; his dream for the New Democratic Party he loved so much will long inspire those who take up his battle to give all Canadians a fair and just federal government. This was a man who dreamed an impossible dream; however the light of that dream still burns brightly in the NDP party he cherished, with much hope for the future.

WEIRD NEWS

Survival of the strongest stomach Eskil Carlsson invited his neighbours this week for a taste of the 71-yearold brisket stored in a jar by his mother-in-law’s family at the start of the Second World War. But first, he tried it out on the cat. “When it survived, we all had a taste,” Carlsson told Swedish media. Gingerly, though, as the 70-yearold Carlsson shows in a video of him

and his neighbours wrestling with the still well-sealed glass jar, then fishing out fragments of meat. “It didn’t smell bad, anyway. It was as if it had been meat from this week. I shouldn’t exaggerate, though; it was no delicacy,” he told The Local, an English-language Swedish news report. The cat didn’t look impressed, either. Nor was Martin Bucknavage, a Penn State University food-safety professor. “Would I eat it? Probably not. But the nice thing about low-acid canned food is it can last for years and years. Certainly you can tell the vacuum seal was still there.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Plot synopsis Paul Rudd plays Ned, a Mr. Nice Guy unsuited for life outside of his organic farm. When he innocently sells marijuana to a uniformed policeman he is thrown in jail. Unfortunately in his absence his hippie girlfriend found a new boyfriend. His three sisters (Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Dechanel and Emily Mortimer) take turns housing him, but in each case his willingness to believe the best in people causes chaos.

scene Scene in brief

Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks star in Our Idiot Brother.

Idiot Bro a smarty-pants

Our Idiot Brother is a fun indie comedy that takes a jab at the neo-hippie movement Strong cast buoys a flimsy movie to make for a fun 90 minutes Richard: Mark, Our Idiot Brother is a low key indie comedy with a much different feel from the movies that made Rudd famous. His Apatow years have been spent doing broad comedy in movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin, but this is more character based — and less funny. There are laughs here, but instead of going for the jokes Rudd is concentrating on playing the character and allowing the humour to flow naturally from him and the situations. Did that work for you?

DNA — that this would be nothing but silly slapstick. But it turned out to be a nicely tuned comedy of manners about the clash between bourgeois and counterculture values. The irony of the title is that the Rudd character is anything but an idiot. Like the ’80s movie Down and Out in Beverly Hills, the hippie outsider upsets the domesticity of those around him, but somehow improves everyone's lives in the process. Rudd is great, and so is the rest of the cast, don't you think?

Mark: Most definitely! I was worried — based on the title, the poster, the trailer, and the Apatow

RC: I thought so too. Banks, Dechanel and Mortimer each bring a different flavour to their roles as

the sisters. Banks is a driven writer with sketchy ethics, Dechanel a free-ish spirit with commitment issues while Mortimer plays a mousy mom. They all stand in stark contrast to the innocence of their brother but their presence buoys, and gives heart to, the film’s family first message. MB: One thing I really liked about the film is that it completely nailed the Hudson Valley neohippie movement in all its charm and hypocrisy. It’s a subculture ripe for satirizing, but it hasn’t been done much until now, so it felt fresh. Deschanel’s weird bohemian lifestyle also felt original and con-

tributed to the indie feel of the film. But I have to admit, as much as I enjoyed watching it, it’s a flimsy movie and it didn’t stay with me. RC: I sort of agree. I think it’s a likeable comedy elevated by a strong cast who bring empathy to characters who, in less experienced hands, might not have had any. MB: Only the last 10 minutes felt rushed, with characters changing their motivation for no discernible reason at all. It felt like some scenes had been edited out. But overall, it was a good way to spend 90 minutes in the dark.

Donnie and Mark Wahlberg have licensed the name of a hamburger from a western New York chain of restaurants and plan to use the name for their new eatery.

Bebe Neuwirth’s deadpan narration lends a sense of tone to this otherwise shapeless documentary about the local food movement: no surprises that it concludes that massprocessed goods is a bad thing. That’s true enough, but there’s nothing here that you couldn’t simply find by Googling “organic farming.” The parade of earnest talking heads grows wearisome well before the film ends.

Chasing Madoﬀ Genre: Documentary Director: Jeff Prosserman Stars: Harry Markopolos 81 1⁄2

Brendan Gleeson gives a towering, hilarious performance in this pungent Irish thriller, which casts him as a small town cop who runs afoul of some nasty drug-runners. Gleeson gives his one-liners a wicked spin, and he’s well-matched by Don Cheadle as a visiting FBI agent bewildered by Galway’s slow-moving culture; the script is all buddy-cop and fish out of water clichés, but they’re made fresh by the superb performers. ADAM NAYMAN

Recounting the struggle of whistleblower Harry Markopolos and his 10-year attempt to expose Bernie Madoff’s multibillion-dollar scandal, this highly-stylized documentary draws on noir-like black and white dramatizations that seemingly attempt to turn nerdy number-crunchers into Cold War killers. Instead, the device unnecessarily distracts and hyperbolizes a frightening and compelling tale of injustice. STEVE GOW

Shark shoot has bite

HANDOUT

Stars of Shark Night 3D faced unfriendly aquatic life during filming RICHARD CROUSE

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Making movies can be glamorous, but according to the stars of Shark Night 3D, their shoot was anything but. “I got a little chewed up,” says the Yellowknifeborn Dustin Milligan. “We went blind, literally,” adds co-star Sara Paxton. “It was pretty bad, but my retina has healed.”

The pair are describing the rope burn and chlorine damage they suffered doing some of the stunts in the film, but that, they say, wasn’t the craziest part of making the shark attack movie. “We were literally in Deliverance town,” says Sara. “We were shooting in a place called Uncertain, Texas, population ten.” “There were some locals that definitely reminded

you of how remote it was,” adds Dustin. “They were super nice though,” says Sara. Not as nice were the other indigenous life forms of the area. “There were twelve foot alligators, there were water moccasins, crazy fish with big teeth and snapping turtles,” Sara says “It was definitely a scary experience,” Dustin says, “and then the sharks them-

selves were terrifying. And it was dirty water too.” “Really dirty,” chimes in Sara. “We had ex Navy Seals as our stunt guys and they would go out on Wave Runners and clear out the area beforehand. They’d swirl the water around and make noise. ‘It’s fine. It’s fine. We checked the water.’ Then Alyssa was in the water and asked, ‘Why did that log blink?’”

ACNE

Eczema Psoriasis Rosacea Rashes By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.

I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, SorelTracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Clean Clear, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX Unbelievable #60 acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I Guaranteed better had acne and tried every product like Murad, than all others they Proactiv and antibiotics. Results with #60 were used say dozens of unbelievable. Thanks for giving me beautiful skin delighted users with full names and towns on the and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL Bell website. Works by Within 6 days eczema cleared up cleansing blood inside completely. I believe #60 addresses the cause rather than attacking skin internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, from the outside and 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis leaving the actual cause over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned untreated. Here are a few examples: every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC All statements made on the Bell website are sent by delighted users. All are real people. Most have listed phone numbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before. It is less expensive (some acne suppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which may amount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reported on #60. All true experiences from real people.

Saldana: skinny girl with big guns

Colo mb open iana Frid s ay

Colombiana star thrives on action and adventure NED EHRBAR

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA MWN IN HOLLYWOOD

Zoe Saldana knows her guns. “I’m a .45 myself. A .22 is too wimpy for me,” says the actress, who plays a skilled assassin in Colombiana. “I like the .9. It’s something that I can manoeuvre, and because I have very small wrists it’s a weight that I can sustain and the impact won’t hurt me in my joints.” Saldana insists she’s no gun nut. This expertise comes from Hollywood, after starring in a number of firearm-heavy titles like the Losers and Vantage Point.

No down time So how does Zoe Saldana relax after a tough day of buttkicking and gunplay on set? “Wine is perfect to unwind. Just a glass of wine, a bath and just... I don’t know,” she says. But the fact of the matter is the actress doesn’t do a whole lot of relaxing. “I wish I could sugarcoat it for you, but when I’m working, I’m working. So yeah, I’ll have a glass of wine and go out and have dinner with the cast and crew, but before I go to bed I’m reading those lines for the next day. I’m up 30 minutes before I have to get picked up ... and I’m on that treadmill because I want to make sure that I’m healthy and aware — naturally. I don’t drink caffeine.”

Colombiana, though, trumps them all in sheer firepower. But her character, Cataleya, is just as deadly without a gun in her hand — something Saldana says isn’t so strange but still catches men offguard. “I’ve been trained

by people that were in the military, Marines, from Avatar to the Losers and now Colombiana, and they don’t see gender when they see a threat across from them. They see a threat,” she says. “So I would say watch out. Any-

Zoe Saldana insists she’s not a gun nut, but she’s still a good shot.

time you see a skinny girl and she’s had any kind of military training, just don’t blink. She could f--ing kill you.” Guns and fighting aside, Saldana admits the biggest draw for Colombiana was that it was produced and co-written by French filmmaker Luc Besson, someone of whom she’s long been an admirer. “It’s much more important for me to get to work with

filmmakers that I’ve grown up loving and admiring, and Luc Besson is definitely one of the names that was on my bucket list — especially for the iconic femme fatale characters that he’s created, because they’re strong on the exterior but they’re so fragile and broke on the inside,” she says. “There were [other] offers, but Luc Besson took priority. Already a fan of strong

Besson women in films like La Femme Nikita and the Fifth Element, Saldana looked elsewhere for research that might inform Cataleya, including the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But mostly she just watched TV a bunch. “I was watching a lot of animal behaviour because to me whenever she wasn’t playing any of her roles to kill her targets ... she was such an omega wolf,” she says.

Everyone’s talking. “REMARKABLE PERFORMANCES. FANS OF THE BOOK WILL BE OVERJOYED.” Teri Hart, THE MOVIE NETWORK

FINANCIAL ADVICE FOR STUDENTS

SET ASIDE MONEY FOR FUN Anyone who works irregular hours can tell you how easy it is to overspend on takeout meals, coffee and drinks. But if you’re a college or university student, the challenge is greater. You not only work irregular hours, you live them; and your sources of income tend to be limited. So how can a budding scholar avoid money woes? It starts with a different kind of studying. “Living within your means boils down to understanding how your money is spent,” says Kavita Joshi, Director of Student Markets, RBC Royal Bank. “That means planning a budget ahead of time, then really using it as the tool to track your expenses, day after day. The more thought you put into managing your money upfront, the less you have to think about it during your studies, which will help make your student life more enjoyable and more successful.” Start by distinguishing fixed expenses from discretionary ones. Determine how

BANANASTOCK/THINKSTOCK

EAT OUT, ENJOY TIME WITH FRIENDS WHEN YOU CAN

much money you need for tuition, books, rent, and groceries; then set aside a certain amount for fun. “Balance is important too,” says Joshi. “You should eat out, relax, enjoy time with friends when you can — just make sure you pay for it out of an entertainment budget, not with the money you need for your electric bill.” When you do venture out to dine, consider the ways you can save and still eat well. Prix-fixe menus give you the chance to eat full meals of high-quality food for a reasonable price. Eating at a culinary school restaurant can be

cheaper too (though you’d better hope the chef studied hard). Many restaurants and coffee shops offer discounts to students, particularly if they’re located in areas students tend to hang out, and group buying coupons can give you great deals too. And when it comes to bars and clubs, decide how much you can spend before you’ve had that first couple of drinks. It’s not rocket science — it’s just good sense.

How to save money on technology

MANAGE YOUR MONEY • Take control. Identify your expenses and assess how much you’re spending. Knowing where your money goes makes it easier to make sound financial decisions. Tools such as RBC’s myFinanceTracker is an online financial management tool that helps you easily track your expenses (rbc.com/myfinancetracker). Also, Better Student Life website (about money management) and Student Budget Check tool (calculates the money you need to get through the school year, based on your spending) can help with managing your money betterstudentlife.ca • You have more control over your finances than you think, especially with day to day expenses. Certain student expenses are fixed, but it’s discretionary spending that drives up costs. This is where students need to plan the most. Planning is more than just looking for bargains. It also means making choices about how and where you spend, so that you do have something left over — not just for essentials, but for your social life. RBC offers 20 minute advice events just for students, to help students stay in control of their finances rbc.com/studentevents

Is J.Lo’s ex at the root of Smiths’ problems? Rumours are swirling that turmoil in Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage is over Jada allegedly having an affair with her HawthoRNe co-

Hustler magazine claims they’ve got a video Rihanna doesn’t want anyone to see. “Hustler are in possession of the Rihanna and (rapper) J. Cole tape,” a spokesperson tells Radar Online. “We have seen it and we do not know what we are going to do with it yet.” But the singer herself is reportedly pleading ignorance as to what they’re talking about. “Rihanna is surprised, because there is no sex tape,” a source says.

the production says. “She definitely pushed for a story line that had Marc Anthony as a love interest. Never made sense to the network, but Jada

pushed and they stopped pushing back.” Will and Jada have been quick to deny any reports of infidelity or separation.

Talking points

Simon loves the needle INJECTION. Simon Cowell’s secret to staying healthy is a weekly IV injection of vitamins and minerals, he tells GQ. “When you have it done, it’s an incredibly warm feeling,” he says of the half-hour-long treatment. “You feel all the vitamins going through you. It’s indescribable but very calming, and then it gives you energy for a good few days afterwards.” Cowell, who says he was terrified of needles as a child, insists on having his arm frozen with a spray to numb any pain before each injection. “Everyone I’ve recommended it to, they’ve absolutely loved it,” he says. “It sounds odd, but when you have it, it is fantastic. One girl came down and actually had two orgasms during the treatment.” METRO BRYAN BEDDER/GETTY IMAGES

Lohan compares herself to Marilyn FREDERICK M. BROWN/GETTY IMAGES

Rihanna

Lindsay Lohan is worried about her legacy and a kinship she feels for Marilyn Monroe. “People in their mind have created who I am and act as if there is no real person inside of me. Just like Marilyn,” she writes in the forward to Marilyn: Intimate Exposures, a new book about the late actress. “Marilyn never wanted

Lindsay Lohan

to be just a celebrity. Neither do I.”

But according to Lohan, the real problem is that

they just don’t make films like they used to. “I had always thought that movie stars were in films that would last forever in your mind. But now the films don’t,” she says. “I don’t want to be remembered as someone who just wanted to be photographed, who goes out at night, and gets in trouble.” METRO

If I learned one thing during my travels in South America, it was that the Argentineans love their barbecue. They call it asado and in the wineries (especially those throughout its primary grapegrowing region of Mendoza), the red wines have been crafted to match the charred influences of meats fresh from the fire. Though cabernet sauvignon and merlot are widely planted, grapes like bonarda (offers balanced ripe fruit) and tannat (owes its name to its tannic profile) are almost exclusively Argentinean. Then there’s malbec. Originally from France’s Bordeaux region, its juice has become Argentina’s hallmark. With upfront fruit and a spicy personality that can go from light and simple to a major bite of freshly ground pepper, malbec is a perfect match for grilled meats. Catena Zapata’s 2010 Alamos Malbec ($13.95 - $14.99) is a gusty mash of the heavier end of the spice trail. With a mouth coating flow of deep, dark fruit, it’s one of the best red wine values on the shelf. PRICES

Scotch and Soda Amsterdam Couture is opening the evening of the 31st on the second level of the Eaton Centre. Featuring some of the hottest trends and updated classics, expect this new shop to be a haven for casual business and weekend wear.

Bannock is finally opening at Bay and Queen on Monday in, of course, The Bay. Another restaurant under the Oliver and Bonacini umbrella, Bannock will showcase Canadian Comfort Food in what we’re sure will be another chic O&B atmosphere. Plus, it’s great to see another resto touting Canadian cuisine as its menu inspiration.

Serena throws wrench in U.S. Open The biggest question heading into the U.S. Open draw was: Which highly seeded woman could be stuck facing Serena Williams in the third round? The answer: No. 4 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus. “Poor, poor, poor Victoria Azarenka,” seven-time major champion John McEnroe said at Thursday’s draw ceremony in Flushing

Meadows. Azarenka was a Wimbledon semifinalist in July, as was No. 22 Sabine Lisicki of Germany, who could play Williams’ older sister Venus in the second round. Serena Williams is a three-time U.S. Open champion who leads all active women with 13 Grand Slam titles. Venus Williams is a two-time winner in

New York and owns a total of seven major singles trophies. The Grand Slam tournament starts Monday. After missing nearly a year of action with health problems, Serena Williams returned to the tour in June and won two of her four tournaments. She is seeded 28th for the U.S. Open.

Venus Williams, meanwhile, is ranked 36th and unseeded. Looking at the latter stages of the men’s field, No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer were drawn to possibly meet in one semifinal, while defending champion Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray could meet in the other. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Billy Butler had four hits, including a two-run double in the eighth against Shawn Camp, as the Royals won the rubber match of the threegame series with a 16-hit attack. Francis (5-14) allowed two runs and six hits, including J.P. Arencibia’s 20th home run in the seventh. Francis pitched to three batters in the seventh without getting an out. Toronto left-hander Brett Cecil (4-7) allowed nine hits and five runs in 61⁄3 innings. His outing was finished when Cabrera hit his 17th homer in the seventh. Edwin Encarnacion hit his 13th homer of the season against Joakim Soria with two out in the ninth

for Toronto. The Royals (54-77) reached Cecil for a run in the third on a leadoff double by Salvador Perez and a two-out single by Johnny Giavotella. The Blue Jays (66-64) could not take advantage of a two-out triple by Eric Thames in the third. Jose Bautista was walked intentionally for the 19th time this year and Encarnacion, who batted fourth with Adam Lind dropped to fifth, flew out to right. Second baseman Kelly Johnson, making his debut with Toronto after being acquired in a trade with Arizona on Tuesday, led off the bottom of the seventh with his first Blue Jay hit.

Toronto FC plays FC Dallas in a largely empty stadium on Thursday morning.

16 hours, one loss Toronto FC drops morning replay against Dallas

It took two days to play but the result was the same for FC Dallas — a 1-0 win over Toronto FC in a weather-delayed CONCACAF Champions League game. Defender Jack Stewart’s header in first-half injury time Thursday morning proved to be the official decider in a somewhat lacklustre conclusion to a game that took some 16 hours to wrap up. The first attempt was called off at 11:25 p.m. ET Wednesday after lightning forced fans out of raindrenched BMO Field. Dallas

DALLAS

TORONTO

was leading 1-0 at the time but the score was wiped out and the contest started anew under sunshine at 10:15 a.m. The replay had the feel of a practice, with the few fans on hand sitting in one section of the stadium. After surviving a late

first-half penalty, Toronto looked to be heading to the dressing room at 0-0 after a tight 45 minutes. But a lapse in coverage allowed Stewart to score on a glancing header, converting a cross from Ugo Ihemelu. The top two teams in each of the four Champions League groups advance to the knockout round. The other two teams in Group C are Mexico’s Pumas UNAM and Panama’s Tauro FC. The win improved Dallas’ record to 2-0-0 while Toronto slipped to 1-1-0. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The story and subplots out of Saskatchewan after the firing of coaches Greg Marshall and Doug Berry are getting more and more curious.

The 6-1 Bombers are riding high in first place in the East and have sold out four consecutive games, including Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tilt with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even added additional bleachers to accommodate the surge of support. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the second time in the last three decades that Bombersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans have spun the turnstiles at such a ferocious rate. The Bombers are on a pace to eclipse the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance record of 252,802 set in 2001.

Hart picks strong squad for Cup qualifiers

Coach Stephen Hart has called up a strong squad for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening round of World Cup qualifiers, with a healthy Atiba Hutchinson back in the fold. Hart had said earlier this month that the star midfielder, who plays in the

Netherlands for PSV Eindhoven, might not be available after minor leg surgery. But the 28-year-old from Brampton played 20 minutes for his club on the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PSV thinks that he can

gion, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean. Currently ranked 102nd in the world, Canada is in a second-round group with No. 184 St. Lucia, No. 144 Puerto Rico, and No. 122 St. Kitts and Nevis. THE CANADIAN PRESS
