NEWS WORTH SHARING.

Don’t bicker, just make it quicker Transit. Board of Trade CEO suggests forming united regional body, prohibiting constant political meddling The departing CEO of the Toronto Region Board of Trade has issued a blunt call for transit reform, saying it’s time to look at integrating the TTC and other municipal transit agencies into a single, regional transit body. “This is the time when all options need to be on the table and need to be debated.

We need to look at it from a regional perspective, so it certainly should be considered,” said Carol Wilding, who is leaving the board of trade at the end of the month. She released the business group’s latest transit report Tuesday. Among its key suggestions is that riders might be better served if the TTC’s red vehicles were absorbed into a new regional transit brand. The report cites the need for a more efficient transit network that puts customer convenience first, with fully integrated routes, fares and schedules.

The affable Mark Ruffalo gets into a love-in with TIFF fans on the red carpet for his new movie Infinitely Polar Bear on Thursday. Ruffalo plays a loving husband and father struggling mightily with manic depression who is forced to raise his two young daughters on his own. The story was inspired by writer-director Maya Forbes’ own childhood, and this is her directorial debut. More TIFF coverage, pages 19-21. NATHAN DENETTE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

A new or revamped regional transit authority should have the power to make decisions and stick with them, something provincial agency Metrolinx hasn’t achieved, says the report. “Somebody has to be in charge,” said Wilding. “As it stands, no one knows who has the final word, or when a decision is a decision.” She reserved some of her harshest criticism for the Scarborough subway/LRT debate between city council and the province, calling it a “mess” that wasted “$100 million in sunk costs.” The board of trade sug-

“Somebody has to be in charge. As it stands, no one knows who has the final word, or when a decision is a decision.” Carol Wilding, the departing CEO of the Toronto Region Board of Trade

gests a new model should leave room for political input within legislation prohibiting changes to transit plans outside of prescribed review periods, possibly every five years. Wilding cited Scarborough as a key example of Metrolinx’s failure to offer transparent cost and benefit analyses of its investment

decisions, something that is needed if the public is going to have confidence in how transit expansion moves forward. Although Metrolinx is improving its practices, “Their ability to advance a truly regional, integrated transportation system is hampered. From a commut-

ers’ perspective, what they want is easy access, a seamless commute.” The report recommends that Toronto develop its own transit governance model based on examples from London and Manchester, England; Portland, Ore.; and Germany. Wilding insists it wouldn’t take long — a year or less — to set up a new model. It’s a critical step in ensuring that the $15 billion the province has committed to regional transit in the next decade is protected from political interference, she said. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

A biopsy will determine what kind it is, hopefully by the end of the week, said Devlin. Doctors will also investigate whether Ford has any other tumours. Doug Ford said his brother is in good spirits and thanked well-wishers. “I had breakfast with him today over at Perkins and he said his stomach was bothering him,” said Doug. Rob Ford went to the doctor, who sent him to the hospital. Asked about what it means for the mayoral race, Doug Ford said that would be discussed later. He asked the media for time for his family. In 2009, Rob Ford had an operation to remove a tumour on his appendix, the Toronto Sun reported at the time. “They said they had to scrape some of my colon out because they said it was inflamed so bad,” he told the Sun then. “And they stitched me up. They did a pretty good hatchet job on my stomach.” Devlin said he wasn’t aware of the prior tumour.

Home collapse. Few answers after worker’s death Little is known about a young construction worker who died Tuesday after a north Toronto home undergoing renovations collapsed, killing the man and injuring two others. The 19-year-old, who has yet to be identified, worked for Euro Group Limited, a general contracting and construction management company, an employee confirmed Wednesday. The Ministry of Labour said the

ing permits show that contractors were performing the “underpinning of existing basement foundations” at the time.

Two TTC foremen fired after allegedly misusing company materials, funds and labour for a house in Jamaica fought their dismissal by blaming each other, according to court documents obtained by Torstar News Service. The case comes to light on the heels of a major TTC investigation in which five former and current workers were charged with theft, fraud and conspiracy for allegedly bilking the transit agency out of more than $100,000 in tools and equipment. Brian Greene and David Hewitt were foremen at the TTC when they were fired in January 2013. The two men separately sued the TTC for wrongful dismissal. “We take all of this very, very seriously,” said TTC spokesman Brad Ross. Ross said he could not comment on this specific case as it

is before the courts. Hewitt’s case has been settled with the TTC. Neither Ross Brad Ross nor Hewitt’s torstar news service lawyer, Leslie Dizgun, would discuss the terms of the resolution. Greene’s lawyer could not be reached for comment. According to the TTC’s statements of defence, an internal investigation found Hewitt asked Greene to charge the TTC for $3,000 worth of stainless steel to construct balcony and staircase railings for Hewitt’s house in Jamaica. The railings were similar to those at Victoria Park subway station. During the investigation, the TTC also learned Greene’s driver’s licence — which is required for his job — had been suspended in 2012 due to an alcohol-related offence, according to the statement of defence.

Soknacki looks back at flawed campaign Election. Former mayoral candidate offers candid take on what went wrong jessica smith cross

jessica.smithcross@metronews.ca

Jen didn’t know she could shop around for a better home insurance rate. She saved big when she did.

David Soknacki spent $300,000 of his own money on his campaign and when combined with the $100,000 he raised from the public, he was still $1.6-million short of the $2 million he believes is needed to win a modern mayoral campaign in Toronto. “I don’t doubt John, Olivia and Rob will be spending that this time,” he said. But that’s not the only reason he fell short, he told reporters at city hall Wednesday, as his campaign manager submitted the documentation that officially removes him from the race.

Soknacki said his personality — introverted — and his inability to play to a crowd also played a role. “What we did from the beginning is say we were going to run a campaign of ideas,” he said. “We did recognize it was a challenge and a long shot.” But the flaw in his campaign strategy wasn’t a lack of money or personal magnetism, he said. “What we expected to happen was that Rob’s support would decline faster than it has. We didn’t expect to see Ford Nation continue so strong,” he said. “Indeed, what has happened is the election has become a referendum on Rob Ford.” Soknacki said that he often met voters who said he was the best — they liked his ideas and plan on how to pay for them — but Ford needs to go, and Tory was the one who could beat him. “People figured that John

was winning and he was a safe set of hands,” said Soknacki. Asked how the election became a referendum on Ford, Soknacki said Ford has “traumatized” the city. Asked if Tory would make a better mayor than Ford, Soknacki replied that anyone would. “If I had a cat it would make a better mayor than Rob Ford.” Soknacki made his comments prior to reports of Ford’s tumour diagnosis. Soknacki said he doesn’t know what his future holds, except that he won’t be running for council and he won’t engage in party politics. His policy papers will remain on his site until at least the end of the election and he invited the other candidates and city staff to use what they can.

Bike-lane use on Sherbourne triples

The simple way to shop for insurance.

The number of cyclists whizzing along Sherbourne Street each day has nearly tripled since its fancy, new separated bike lanes opened at the end of 2012, new figures show. The boost in bicycles is proof that when cyclists feel safe, they’ll take to the

streets in greater numbers and more often — which is why Toronto plans to build a network of separated lanes, said Coun. Denzil MinnanWong, chair of Toronto’s public works and infrastructure committee. New numbers gathered by the city show that in June of this year, an average of 2,827 riders a day used the bike lanes along Sherbourne that are now separated from

traffic by a low curb and occasional posts, compared to just 955 a day back in 2011 when they were marked by a simple stripe of paint. Back then, there were still the short-lived bike lanes up and down nearby Jarvis Street. But they were scrapped in late 2012 over concerns that they made the car trip down Jarvis too slow by eating up an extra lane. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Dominatrix whips up a scene at Bill C-36 hearings Terri-Jean Bedford. Leather-clad opponent of prostitution bill threatens to expose politicians’ hypocrisy, gets thrown out of proceedings

Calgary takes a hit from summer snowstorm Calgary Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes tosses a large snowball at punter Rob Maver during practice on Wednesday in Calgary. Thousands of people were without power Wednesday after a snowstorm hit the city with 10 days to go before summer’s end, downing trees and snarling traffic, prompting Mayor Naheed Nenshi to say he was “shocked at the damage.” Scan the photo with your Metro News app to see a gallery of photos from the story. Candice Ward/For Metro in Calgary

The controversial, leatherclad woman at the heart of the effort to rewrite Canada’s prostitution laws delivered an unexpected whip-crack of drama Wednesday among the buttoned-down senators examining Bill C-36. Terri-Jean Bedford, who calls herself “the most famous dominatrix in Canada,” was tossed out of Senate hearings on the legislation after exhausting the patience of committee chair Sen. Bob Runciman. Bill C-36 treats prostitutes as victims, seeking to protect them from almost all criminal prosecution. The bill instead targets pimps and johns, as well as others who profit or trade in

sex on an exploitative basis. Supporters of the bill argue that those in the sex trade are forced into it by systematic issues of poverty, racism and sexism and deserve protection from the law. And they agree that going after those who are the instigators of the sex trade is a way to better protect those

women. Bedford, however, is not among them — and she made that abundantly clear Wednesday. It’s not the purview of the government to tell women when or how they can or cannot sell sex, she argued, whip in hand, as she threatened to expose politicians who supposedly avail themselves of the world’s oldest profession. When asked by Liberal Sen. Serge Joyal how the new law might affect her work, Bedford cracked her whip on the desk and said the new law would ensure she was back before government in 10 years, arguing the issue anew. At one point, with Bedford’s allotted time running down, Runciman asked Bedford to respect the rules of the committee, saying if she didn’t, he’d suspend the meeting and have her escorted out. Bedford pressed on, so Runciman banged the gavel to end the hearing. Bedford was escorted out by security. the canadian press

Ozone layer recovering: Scientists But far from healed. Protective layer still about 6 per cent thinner than in 1980 Earth’s protective but fragile ozone layer is beginning to recover, largely because of the phase-out since the 1980s of certain chemicals used in refrigerants and aerosol cans, a UN scientific panel reported Wednesday in a rare piece of good news about the health of the planet. Scientists said the development demonstrates that when the world comes together, it can counteract a brewing ecological crisis. For the first time in 35 years, scientists were able to confirm a statistically significant and sustained increase in stratospheric ozone, which shields us from solar radiation that causes skin cancer, crop damage and other problems. From 2000 to 2013, ozone levels went up four per cent in the key mid-northern latitudes at about 50 kilometres high, said NASA scientist Paul A. Newman. He co-chaired the every-four-years ozone assessment by 300 scientists, released at the United Nations. “It’s a victory for diplomacy and for science and for the fact that we were able to

The pact

The ozone layer had been thinning since the late 1970s. Man-made chlorofluorocarbons, called CFCs, released chlorine and bromine, which destroyed ozone molecules in the air. • After scientists raised the alarm, countries around the world agreed to a treaty in 1987 that phased out CFCs.

work together,” said chemist Mario Molina. In 1974, Molina and F. Sherwood Rowland wrote a scientific study forecasting the ozone depletion problem. They won the 1995 Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work. The United Nations calculated in an earlier report that without the 1987 pact that phased out CFCs, by 2030 there would have been an extra two million skin cancer cases a year around the world. The ozone layer is still far from healed. The long-lasting, ozone-eating chemicals still lingering in the atmosphere create a yearly fall ozone hole above the extreme Southern Hemisphere, and the hole hasn’t closed up. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Landlord must be stopped, MLA says ‘Greed eviction’ landlord. Evictions, illegal rent increases and laundry costs cited as grounds for action

Imagine paying $13.50 for a load of laundry or being served an eviction notice because your spouse is an illegal tenant. That’s what residents of a downtown Vancouver apartment have been dealing with ever since their building fell under new ownership in August, and yesterday they were joined by their local MLA to demand the “abuse” stop. Residents of Hofmann Manor allege they’ve been threatened by Plan A Real Estate Services Ltd. with an illegal 30 per cent rent increase, unlawful inspections, and eviction notices for alleged breaches of Deepan Budlakoti

Fellow tenant Brandi Ross claims the residents have been offered new short-term leases with non-negotiable endof-term clauses to vacate. Vancouver-West End MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert has vowed to help the residents fight their landlord at the Residential Tenancy Branch. “What this is is a greed eviction,” said Chandra Herbert, accusing the landlord of trying to turn the building into “a kind of Airbnb mini-hotel” to maximize profits. After several attempts to contact the landlord, Plan A Real Estate Services claimed its director, Anoop Majithia, was out of the country and not available for interviews.

The government argues Budlakoti did not automatically become a Canadian at birth in October 1989, as his parents were employed by the Indian high commissioner. Budlakoti called the ruling “shocking and deplorable.” “Obviously, I will appeal,” said Budlakoti, who considers himself stateless. “I refuse to be exiled from my homeland. the canadian press

Prime-time TV address. President pledges to engage Islamic rebels via multi-country coalition and U.S. airstrikes In a dramatic shift, U.S. President Barack Obama has opened a new front in the fight against Islamic rebels, promising to lead an international coalition that will attack them on Syrian turf. He used a rare prime-time speech to lay out a program that would have been unthinkable until recently: a multi-country fight in the Middle East, involving American airstrikes and special forces in Iraq and now Syria, as part of a

broad counter-terrorism plan. “We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sus-

tained counter-terrorism strategy,” Obama said, referring to the militant group also known as ISIS. “We will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are. That means I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven.” Obama carefully avoided calling it a war. He added a familiar caveat, as he has at every step of the way in recent weeks as American military involvement in the region steadily increased, promising once again that combat troops won’t be going back in: “We will not get dragged into another ground war in Iraq.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Suicide. Segregated inmates at risk: Report The federal prison watchdog says Corrections Canada must stop isolating mentally ill, suicidal or self-harming prisoners, saying inmates in segregation units are all too easily able to kill themselves. In a scathing report released on World Suicide Prevention Day, Howard Sapers says almost half of the suicides reviewed by the Office of the Correctional Investigator took place in segregation cells supposedly under close monitoring. Sapers’ office examined 30 suicides in penitentiaries between April 2011 and March 2014. Twenty-five of those prisoners hanged themselves, 14 of them while they were in solitary confinement. Nineteen of the prisoners who hanged themselves had previously attempted suicide; seven had tried to kill themselves more than twice.

The U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement that agents seized the funds in cash and bank accounts as part of a probe following three separate indictments on charges of money laundering and other financial violations. Authorities allege that individuals working with drug cartels arranged for cash to be delivered to businesses in Los Angeles for goods sold abroad to launder drug money. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Proposed changes to broadcasting industry would hurt customers: Bell Consumers will get less and pay more, and jobs will be lost, under proposals being debated this week to modernize television program delivery, the country’s broadcast regulator has been told. A throng of frustrated media executives warned of dire times ahead for Canada’s TV world Wednesday as the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission held a third day of hearings on how Canadians get and pay for TV programming.

The CRTC has proposed new regulations that would, if enacted, bar TV stations from replacing U.S. advertising with Canadian spots on American shows. The regulator has also proposed that consumers be allowed to pick the individual channels they want from cable and satellite service providers, over and above a pricecapped, trimmed-down mandatory service that includes mainly local channels.

This week, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Sloan’s mighty Twice Removed album, they invited Chris Murphy and Jay Ferguson to join SCREENGRAB them for a lovely version of Coax Me — the best TR song that isn’t Snowsuit Sound. (Choir! Choir! Choir!/YouTube) Artists, their bodies painted in the likeness of tigers, perform the annual Pulikali in Thrissur, in the southern Indian state of Kerala, Wednesday. Pulikali is a colourful recreational folk art revolving around the theme of tiger hunting, performed to entertain people during Onam, an annual harvest festival. ARUN SANKAR K./THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Artists transformed into big cats for Indian harvest festival Two-hundred-odd years ago, the Pulikali tradition started and every harvest season it returns to the Indian state of Kerala for

Onam — the annual harvest festival. During Onam, performers are transformed into tigers and hunters in bright yellow, red and black paints made from tempera and enamel. They dance to the beats of instruments, mimicking tiger hunts and tigers stalking their prey.

As with most traditions, there have been changes over time. In the early days, dancers would paint themselves all over, but over the years masks were introduced, in addition to tiger teeth, tongues, beards and mustaches.

Twitter @metropicks asked: Apple unveiled its new iPhone6 with a larger screen, a smartwatch and a HealthKit. What should they do next?

Etymology

Pulikali Puli = leopard/tiger and kali = play in Malayalam, a language spoken in India, primarily in the state of Kerala.

Drink local and be merry at Toronto Beer Week Craft beer fans unite

There are dozens of events each day of Toronto Beer Week, but Burtch particularly recommends these specific happenings for both the novice and seasoned craft beer fan.

• Tonight. The Beer Experience at the Berkeley Church features a number of limited edition and one-off brews including Amsterdam Brewery’s official Toronto Beer Week beer.

In the history of great corporate rivalries, few rank higher than Molson versus Labatt. The two beer giants regularly compete with each other for domination of Canada’s $4.5-billion beer industry. So it’s curious then that in trying to grab a foothold, Ontario craft brewers have largely stuck together. “It’s such a small community, so it makes sense for us all to work together,” says Troy Burtch, co-founder of Toronto Beer Week. “We have to create some kind of working relationship because we’re all selling the same idea and philosophy.” Toronto was once a beer drinkers’ paradise. Before Prohibition, it was a mecca for small independent breweries says Burtch. “The city was littered with them.” But in the intervening years, most were consolidated under the umbrella of big companies like Molson and Labatt. A few breweries, like the Waterloo Brewing Co. and Great Lakes, where Burtch is community manager, dipped their toes in the water in the 1980s, but the last decade has seen dozens of brewers enter the fray.

• Saturday. Craft Beer Cruise on the River Gambler. The three-hour cruise features taps from 12 local breweries. • Sunday. Drinkin’ the Danforth. Dry pub crawl hits seven local pubs led by four local breweries. • All week. One of the many beer dinners offered at pubs across the city. “Always a very good value for the amount of food and beer that you get,” says Burtch.

Richard: Mark, looking around at the press today in the lobby of the Hotel InterContinental put me in the mind of an episode of The Walking Dead. Everyone is beat and there are still a few days to go, movies to see and celebrities to be coddled and interviewed. The end, however, is in sight and to me right now it looks like a big glowing orb.

The Good Lie is a Blind Sideesque story of a social worker who helps three Sudanese Lost Boys find work in America and reunite with their sister.

On full-frontal vs. rear exposure

“I would do full-frontal nudity every day of my life for the rest of my life, no problem. I don’t want anyone seeing my anus. I feel very vulnerable about that. When I got to that scene, my assumption was the pretty girl will be exposed and the beast, me, will be hidden somehow. And (director Sean Levy) was like, ‘No, no.

woman who hikes 1,100 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. Filled with happiness, pain, sorrow and more melancholy than a Patsy Cline ballad, it feels like a life on parade. Like puzzle pieces, the snippets piece together to eventually form a whole. And it’s funny, too.

Yet in this bad movie, and I mean Showgirls bad, there are two leads transcending the material at each moment. Gugu Mbatha-

RC: I’d put Jack O’Connell in the stars-to-watch category. Every year there is someone to look out for. A few years ago Michael Fassbender became a big star after his portrayal of hunger striker Bobby Sands helped make Hunger one of the big hits of the festival. In 71, O’Connell plays a rookie British soldier lost in an IRA-controlled part of Belfast at the height of The Troubles. It’s a breakout, and is a nice setup to his next movie, the Angelina Jolie directed war drama Unbroken, based on the life of Second World War POW and Olympic distance runner Louis Zamperini. MB: I’d put Julia Sarah Stone in that category too. The lead in Wet Bum, she brings a wideeyed innocence and slow burn to the coming-of-age picture. The movie is slight, though, and not a lot happens in it, which is why it’s so important we identify with the young girl. Unfortunate title, though, and I think you may get websites you’re not looking for when you Google it.

On the changing rules of film

“We’re at such a unique moment in this business in that we don’t know how people watch movies. People don’t even know how they watch movies. One moment it may be their iPad and one moment it’s on TV and another moment it’s in a theatre. By tomorrow it could be on their watch. ... It’s a kind of quandary of what movies to make — or do we make movies at all? And do they need to be two hours?

Robert Redford’ Like a lot of young people in the aftermath of 9/11, Adam Driver joined the marines. “Being in the military, believe it or not, is very different than being in an acting school,” says the This Is Where I Leave You star, “ An injury during a training exercise cut short his military career just shy of three years. “With the military I grew up very fast,” he says. “Suddenly I was responsible for things that aren’t typical for 18- or 19-yearolds. Other people’s lives and things like that. It ages you.

Abrams and screenwriter Larry Kasdan have decided to approach the project is how you approach anything. “From the very beginning it is all about story and character. Effects and the spectacle, as in the original, won’t take a backseat because it is very much part of the story, but the story dictates that instead of vice versa. Yes, this is a long time ago in a galaxy far away, but at the same time it’s about loves and friendship, those universal things that gave the original movies such a long life and resonance.” richard crouse/metro

Keep your eyes on Baraschi

The Look: Lady Gaga meets Carolina Herrera The Runway: Lie Sangbong was in a reflective mood this season, after a maritime disaster shook his native South Korea. But from that tragedy, he has spun a sartorial tale of hope and transformation. The crisp all-white tailored suits and draped dresses slowly morphed until they were ethereal gowns embroidered with kaleidoscopic collages of swirling butterflies and clouds.

Before launching her own label, Romanian-born Yoana Baraschi earned her fashion keep designing for Faconable, Cacharel, Mugler and Betsey Johnson. We chatted with Baraschi over breakfast and got her tips on how even the most colourphobic New Yorker can brighten up her wardrobe for spring:

Insta-worthy: The runway, made of 1,188 glass tiles featuring collage-to-photo prints by artist Jang Seung Hyo.

What tips do you have for woman who want to try wearing more colours or prints? Wearing it with black helps. It makes it less bold, so if you aren’t used to wearing colour or prints, that’s a good place to start.

Legal Matters

To tax or not to tax I purchased a house a number of years ago and intended to move my business into it because it was close to a commercial area. This never occurred and I would now like to sell it because it

is a hassle dealing with the tenants and the property has gone up substantially in value. I have spoken with some friends who have purchased lots, built houses and sold them and they have been able to avoid capital gains tax. Is there any way I can avoid paying capital gains on the increased value

of my property? legal matters

Jeffrey Cowan home@metronews.ca

I am not an accountant and you should seek the advice of one for the full answer to your question. However, it is

my understanding that if you own a property other than your principal residence, it is considered an investment property and therefore capital gains tax is payable when you sell the property (if it has made money). A potential way around this is if you buy a lot, build a house then live in it as your primary residence

for an appropriate period of time. Then the increase in value would not be taxable as you had developed the home for personal use. Another method is to purchase property through a privately held corporation which also has specific tax rules. Again, your accountant should be the one answering these questions.

You should always be extremely careful when buying and selling property to make sure the taxes are paid because as we all know, “the taxman is watching.” Follow Jeff Cowan on Twitter @Cowan_Law or on the website cowanlaw.ca, or email him at jeff@cowanlaw.ca.

Downtown condos love being in a TIFF spot Cultural celebration. Condos provide venues for everything from receptions to street fests Condo trends Duncan McAllister life@metronews.ca

It’s that time of year again when the brightest luminaries of the world’s film industry converge on the city for the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. Last week marked the official opening of the festival, and this year it’s bigger than ever. Downtown condominiums will play an important role by hosting a number of the TIFF events. On the 53rd floor of the 180 University Private Estates above the Shangri-La hotel, in the elegant model suite overlooking the city, a special reception was held for the screening of the Italian feature film Francesco. The film explores the life and times of St. Francis of Assisi and his influence on Pope Francis through his life and words. “I couldn’t think of a better place to kick off then from this beautiful suite,” said Paul Golini, EVP of Empire Com-

munities who was involved in the production of the film. Hosted by Pamela Baden of Sotheby’s Realty, the gathering featured a special live preview performance of music from the film by composer Jack Lenz along with vocals by Deena and Mark Masri. The producers have undertaken a social media campaign with the Twitter hashtag #BeLikeFrancis. “We’re really encouraging people to shout out who is the Francis in their lives, who embodies some of the great qualities that Francis taught us,” explained Golini. Condo developer Easton’s Group expanded its contribution to local culture at TIFF this year, providing a stage and green room called the Rdio Music Zone Steve and Rashmi Gupta Family Stage. An additional element of TIFF’s inaugural Festival Street of interactive activities, the stage will host live and free performances by up to 18 local artists during the Festival. Located at the site of the King Blue Condominiums on King Street, the lineup last weekend featured performances by beat scene producer Elaquent, space funk artist Maycee Todd, pop master Rich Aucoin and guitarist Adrian X. Over at Daniels’ Cinema Tower at King and John Streets, filmgoers were invited to a celebration in the heart

The most comfortable bedding The right paint colour Grey-based colours are better for those who like to wake to an all-dark room whereas yellow-based colours are for those that welcome the sunshine in the morning.

DIY. Try these easy ways to create extra storage space perfectly suited to the changing seasons It’s that time of year again: The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cooler and boots and coats will soon clutter your home. With fall right around the corner, maximizing space by decluttering and getting organized is a great way to ensure a smooth seasonal transition and create additional storage room. There are many ways to make the most out of your home. Here are some suggestions that can be quite helpful. In the kitchen Hang a plastic shoe organizer on the inside of the pantry door to bundle and store snacks or smaller kitchen items to make them easily accessible. If you don’t have a large pantry, cut and

adjust the shoe organizer to accommodate a smaller area. Install a pot rack on a wall or on your ceiling — this will allow you to hang up your pots and pans and create additional storage. In the bedroom Use storage containers to organize small and miscellaneous objects — store them under pieces of furniture like your bed — this is especially useful for shoes. A variety of shoe racks are also available in many different shapes and sizes. Remember that every area of the room can be utilized; even the corners can be used to mount shelves. In the bathroom Shelves are a great thing to have in every washroom — they are easy to install and can fit anywhere. Mount one above your sink to give you extra counter space and have easy access to things you use on a daily basis. Above the door is also a great place to have a shelf to store excess items like toilet

paper or Kleenex. For small metallic items like scissors or nail clippers, stick a magnetic strip inside your medicine cabinet or a small area where you can hang them. In the closets Hang a rod on the inside of a closet door. It will keep you organized and give you a place to hang smaller items like scarves or ties. Pegs and hooks are also a good option to put up on the wall, especially for heavier items like sweaters and jackets. If you don’t have a closet, find spaces in your home that are unused or take advantage of wall space, even extremely small spaces can be useful. More transformations

In her book Dirty Food, Carol Hilker sets out to document the best worst food you’ll ever eat. While the trend has been healthy bites, Hilker shows her readers it is still OK to indulge with a range of brunch, bowls, take-out, hot and cold sandwiches, barbecue, wings and ribs; sides, treats and beverages recipes.

“A good steak sandwich isn’t always the easiest to come by,” writes Carol Hilker in her book Dirty Food. “It’s hard to find the right combination of perfectly spiced steak, topped with a bounty of trimmings that add the right amount of flavour and texture when placed on a crispy loaf of bread. “This sandwich, with rare steak, sautéed onions, Dijonnaise, rocket and blue cheese on French country bread is the answer!”

1. Make the Dijonnaise by finely chopping the white onion and frying with butter in a medium saucepan. Add the cream and mix in the mustard. Season the mixture and simmer until the sauce takes a mustardy colour and is relatively thick.

Ingredients Dijonnaise • 2 large white onions • 2 tbsp butter • 400 ml (1 3/4 cup) light cream • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard • Pinch of salt, ground black pepper, garlic, nutmeg, chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, tarragon Steak Sandwiches • 2 x 350 g (12 oz) sirloin steaks/ New York strip steaks, cut 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick • Olive oil, for frying • 4 onions, sliced into rings • 1⁄2 tsp fresh thyme leaves • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1 - 2 loaves French Country Bread • 4 tbsp Dijonnaise (see above) • 30 g (1 cup) rocket/arugula • 115–225 g (4 - 8 oz) blue cheese, crumbled • Sea salt, ground black pepper

2. Season the steaks with salt

and pepper on both sides. Heat 2–4 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a high heat until it’s very hot, almost smoking. Sear the steaks for 11⁄2 minutes per side and then

reduce the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 3–4 minutes, turning once. Remove the steaks from the pan and place on a plate. Cover tightly with foil and allow to sit in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Remove and slice steak into strips.

oil over a medium heat. Add the onion slices and thyme and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized. Add the garlic for the last 1–2 minutes.

Cut French country bread lengthwise and into large sandwich rolls. Spread 1 tablespoon Dijonnaise on the bottom half

of each bun. Place a layer of the steak strips on top of the Dijonnaise, sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with the caramelized onion rings. Place the rocket on top of the onion rings and sprinkle a handful of blue cheese on top. Cover with the top half of buns. from Dirty Food by Carol Hilker. published by Ryland Peters & Small (2014).

Go to metronews.ca for updates on the Jays’ playoff hopes after hosting the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night. Hawks fallout

Civil rights leaders snubbed by team The Atlanta Hawks cancelled a scheduled meeting between their CEO and city civil rights leaders Wednesday, prompting one of the group’s leaders to say his community was greatly offended. The Rev. Markel Hutchins said the meeting with CEO Steve Koonin was called off “at the last minute.” He later said he received a call from a Hawks spokesman Tuesday night asking the appointment be postponed. The group asked for the meeting to discuss what Hutchins said was the Hawks’ “disrespect for people of colour.” The request followed racially charged comments by Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson and GM Danny Ferry.

Four days after opening the season by losing to a division foe at home, the Baltimore Ravens face their most-hated rival in a pivotal game Thursday night. The matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t come soon enough for the Ravens, who finally get to play in the wake of the media firestorm involving Ray Rice. Following Sunday’s 23-16 defeat against Cincinnati, Baltimore had not yet launched its short workweek when a video surfaced showing Rice hitting his then-fiancée in an elevator last February. The incident previously led the NFL to suspend the running back for two games, but the graphic video prompted the Ravens to release Rice and the NFL to suspend him indefinitely. From that point, coach John Harbaugh and his players were bombarded with more questions about Rice than the importance of avoiding an 0-2 start with two home losses against AFC North opponents. “It’s been a trying time,” wide receiver Steve Smith said. “You have to compartmentalize to some part, because if you don’t, this is a game that is physical and you can get hurt if your mind is not clear and focused on what you have to do.” Under different circum-

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, far right, is under pressure to get the Baltimore offence going without suspended running back Ray Rice on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“By waiting to act until it was made public you effectively condoned the action of the perpetrator himself.” Republican Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada said Wednesday that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell didn’t act swiftly enough to punish Ray Rice. A law enforcement official in Atlantic City, N.J., said he sent video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancée to an NFL executive five months ago, while league executives have insisted they didn’t see the violent images until this week.

stances, the Ravens (0-1) and Steelers (1-0) would be asked about the intensity of a rivalry in which 10 of the last 12 games have been decided by

three points or fewer. Maybe everyone would be talking about Pittsburgh’s second-half collapse against Cleveland last week.

Instead, the topic of conversation was a running back who wasn’t supposed to play in this game anyway. The first question posed to Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a conference call involved his thoughts on Rice. He dutifully answered before quickly shifting gears. “We pray for him and his family,” Roethlisberger told the Baltimore media. “The biggest focus is the game on Thursday.... That is what we can control.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nonis insists he’s not worried about own neck

Dave Nonis is thought to be on a short leash under new Leafs president Brendan Shanahan. ANDREW FRANCIS WALLACE/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The narrative has already been established: Dave Nonis is on a short leash as general manager of the Maple Leafs. It makes him chortle just a little, because Nonis says he is not working to save his job. He’s managing the Maple Leafs the way he sees fit. “You’ve got to do your job,” Nonis said Wednesday. “For me, it’s putting together a team that has a chance to win over the long term. If you’re trying to do the job in order to survive, then you’re not doing a very good job.” Nonis has been a Leafs exec-

Jacks of all trades?

“We’ve tried to make a conscious effort to put together a group that can play any style you want to roll out.” Dave Nonis

utive since December of 2008, initially as Brian Burke’s assistant and eventually GM upon Burke’s ouster in 2012. In the summer of 2013 he agreed to a five-year deal, and

he survived the purge this summer when Brendan Shanahan was appointed president. The Leafs are arguably better now than when Nonis came aboard, but they’re far from great. The early odds peg them to finish in ninth place in the East. None of that, Nonis says, will sway him from his game plan of assembling young talent and letting it mature. “There’s lots of work left to do,” says Nonis. “We can’t shorten that learning curve. We have to continue to work through it.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
