Group trying to steer Halifax Transit in the right direction It’s More Than Buses. Members discuss bus lanes, less duplication, better use of transfers BRAEDON CLARK

halifax@metronews.ca

A member of the group It’s More Than Buses looks into the crowd Thursday night and asks a simple question. “How many people here are 100 per cent satisfied with Halifax Transit?” Sean Gillis inquires. Total hands in the room: about 180. Hands raised: zero. That response summed up the mood at the appropriately named Bus Stop Theatre on Gottingen Street, where the group held a meeting to discuss changes to Halifax’s transit system. “We need to get it right the first time, because we won’t have a chance like this again for a long time,” said group member Mark Nener. The meeting drew almost 100 people, many of whom expressed displeasure with the city’s current public-transit system. “Having 20 buses running down Barrington Street is a

disaster,” said Tristan Cleveland. “There should just be one or two lines going down that street. It would make things so much easier.” Discussion focused on achieving a transit system that is fast, frequent, reliable and user-friendly. Possible solutions included busonly lanes and improving efficiency through less duplication and better use of transfers. “If we want to create a great city, we need more people on the bus,” Gillis said. The meeting came a week after city staffers told a council committee that a transferbased network system — like the one It’s More Than Buses is proposing — might not be feasible in Halifax due to low population. The debate surrounding public transit is sure to heat up as the city inches closer to an announced five-year redesign of the system that is scheduled to begin in January.

Respect stopped school buses, cops warn

Halifax police have given eight tickets this week. JEFF HARPER/METRO FILE

The spokesman for Halifax Regional Police has a simple message for drivers after eight tickets were handed out this week to people driving by school buses with red lights flashing. “You have to stop. There’s no ‘if’ or ‘but’ or ‘maybe I’m going to be busy,’” said Const. Pierre Bourdages. “If you don’t stop you may kill someone.” Bourdages said all eight tickets were issued in the inter-

section of Hammonds Plains Road and Killarney Drive in Bedford, which is “notorious” for these incidents. He said officers were already monitoring the area due to complaints and that they will continue to do so. The fine for a first offence is $406. That jumps to $694 for a second and $1,269 for a third. Bourdages said stopping for buses is not new and drivers should know it is illegal to pass even if you’re in the opposite

Heads up, Halifax! New pedestrian safety campaign coming your way City streets. Plan designed to focus on shared responsibility, accountability for road safety A new crosswalk safety awareness campaign is set to kick off in Halifax in mid-October, focused on the concept that everyone on the road shares the responsibility for safe travels — whether they’re in a car or not. HRM’s managing director of corporate communications presented the proposed messaging to the crosswalk safety advisory committee Thursday, saying the key goal is to emphasize the human aspect of road safety and not to lay blame. “Because people in cars or crosswalks are human beings, just like me, it’s important that we all do our part to get home safely,” said Bruce DeBaie. “We all owe it to each other.” The committee approved the campaign, applauding in

Mixed messages

A professor’s concern At the request of one member of the crosswalk safety advisory committee, HRM staff will look for ways to align the Heads up, Halifax! campaign with another, very similar campaign being launched around the same time. Dalhousie University professor and committee member Ahsan Habib told the committee the Thumbs particular the slogan “Heads up, Halifax!” — a “call to action” that DeBaie said is universal and high-impact. DeBaie said the campaign will use collision data and police statistics to build awareness of safe practices for pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, and drivers — all of whom constitute “traffic.” “The goal here is to make sure that people realize that

Habib said the Thumbs up! campaign focuses on more than just pedestrian safety, and there’s a risk of confusion over mixed messaging. “One (campaign) is saying one-metre rule, visibility — Thumbs up! One is saying Heads up!” he said. “People will not take two messages.” Ruth Davenport/Metro

there are contributing factors and there are indicators that we can be aware of that can help prevent you from becoming a statistic,” he said. DeBaie said ideas for dissemination included “unexpected” formats, like decals on sidewalks near crosswalks and bus wraps that make passengers on the bus part of the ad. The campaign will be in full swing during a Crosswalk

Safety Awareness Day on Nov. 5, and DeBaie said there are ideas to get the message out to local crosswalks via posters and volunteers wearing hats, pins and T-shirts. “The idea was to take the campaign creative and extend it ... into a crosswalk environ-

ment,” he said. “We marshal teams of people who will have a ‘crosswalk captain’ ... creating a presence of the call to action.” The proposal for a safety awareness campaign was included in the committee’s action plan, submitted to region-

al council in March. The awareness campaign will run for two six-week periods starting in mid-October and mid-February. Police as of August, 148 people had been hit by vehicles this year. Ruth Davenport/Metro

Crosswalk safety group hosting public info session The city’s crosswalk safety committee will partner with a Dalhousie University research group to tell residents about its work — and get their thoughts on how it’s going. The crosswalk safety advisory committee agreed Thursday to host an information café meeting in November, delivering on a promise in their

action plan to engage with and seek input from the broader community. Dalhousie professor Ahsan Habib volunteered to “piggyback” the event onto ongoing public workshops his group — the Dalhousie Transportation Collaboratory, or DalTRAC — is holding for its research project on road safety.

“It’s letting the public know what we found in our collision studies, as well ... share information on what can we do for engineering countermeasures, in terms of education, in terms of pedestrian and biking safety,” he explained after the meeting. Committee members said the meeting isn’t intended to

be a forum for residents to ask for new crosswalks, or vent frustrations about current pedestrian infrastructure. “There needs to be an education component where we are presenting to the public ... about what the committee’s doing,” said Coun. Darren Fisher. “And certainly we need to have feedback from them as

well ... maybe feedback on the things we’ve talked about in our work plan.”

The committee tentatively agreed on the information café set-up, which will include presentations by Habib and the committee on their work, followed by informal conversations with experts in the room on topics such as engineering, education and enforcement, among others. Ruth Davenport/Metro

Province names CEO to lead newly merged health board Janet Knox. Health minister hopes changes lead to single voice The CEO of two health boards in southern Nova Scotia will lead a new amalgamated health authority that will run most hospitals in the province next year. Janet Knox of both Annapolis Valley Health and South Shore Health will advise the province as it continues consolidating its 10 boards and she will become the new health authority’s CEO on April 1. Reducing the number of health authorities from 10 to two — one for the IWK Health Centre in Halifax and one for the rest of the province — was an election prom-

ise made last year by the Liberal party. “We have an opportunity to build a system that thinks and acts like one,” Health Minister Leo Glavine said Thursday. The Liberals have said the province will save $13 million a year through amalgamation. Glavine has said that while most of the savings would come from shared services and staffing reductions, the only positions to be cut would be from management. The Liberals have been under pressure from the opposition parties to outline how much would be saved in the first year of amalgamation when they cut the jobs of CEOs and vice-presidents in the health-care system. Glavine wasn’t able to

give a precise answer on Thursday, but he said it will be in the millions of dollars. NDP health critic Dave Wilson isn’t convinced, saying the severance costs for senior executives will be expensive. “I’m concerned that other jurisdictions have done this and it has cost tens of millions of dollars in severance and paying off CEOs and VPs to leave the system,” he said. “That money should be going to frontline health care.” The Canadian Press Cuts

Businesses across the city have lost thousands of dollars in merchandise, due to the counterfeit money, police say. Investigators believe the incidents are connected. The photos show a white man in his 20s with short brown hair and a sleeve tattoo on his right arm, who

allegedly used counterfeit bills at the Halifax Shopping Centre on Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m. Police say he drove away in a white Mercedes SUV. The same man also allegedly used fake bills at the Shopping Centre on Sept. 10 at 7 p.m., according to a release. Bourdages said he visited one store during each incident. Police also released a photo of two black women in their 20s who allegedly paid for merchandise with counterfeit bills at the Sobeys on Queen Street in Halifax on Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. Anyone with information about these suspects is asked to call police at 490-5016, and the financial crime unit is reminding business owners to look closely at cash before taking it.

The thrill of history in the making enveloped Scotland — and spooked the rest of the United Kingdom — after voters turned out with unprecedented enthusiasm for an independence referendum that could end the country’s 307-year union with England. As the polls closed late Thursday and the vote counting began, many Scots settled in to stay up all night in homes and bars to watch the results. A nationwide count began immediately at 32 regional centres across Scotland. For some, it was a day they had dreamed of for decades. For others, the time had finally come to make up

BioSil oSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as ﬁbroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

A newlywed couple whose Craigslist ad lured a stranger to his death were sentenced Thursday to life in prison without parole by a judge who said their “permanent removal” from society is appropriate. Neither 19-year-old Miranda Barbour nor her 22-yearold husband, Elytte, displayed emotion as they sat with their lawyers in the Pennsylvania courtroom while some of the victim’s relatives described the grief and pain they have experienced since the Nov. 11 murder. The couple pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder in a plea deal that ruled out the death penalty.

Elytte Barbour told police the couple killed LaFerrara because they wanted to kill someone together.

On the day LaFerrara was killed, Miranda Barbour picked him up and drove him while Elytte hid in the back seat under a blanket. Once they parked, Elytte Barbour emerged and held a cord against LaFerrara’s neck while his wife stabbed LaFerrara 20 times.

The father of Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik says he fears his son is becoming even more extreme and dangerous in prison. In his first news conference since the July 22, 2011, attacks that killed 77 people, Jens Breivik said Thursday he had requested to visit his son at the Oslo area prison where he is serving a 21-year sentence that could be extended indefinitely. But the convicted terrorist and right-wing fanatic rebuffed him in a letter, saying his father had to adopt a “fascist” ideology for them to

Maybe he’s becoming more dangerous, too. I don’t know.” A self-described “militant nationalist” on a crusade to rid Europe of Muslims, Breivik set off a powerful bomb that killed eight people in Oslo’s government district. He then went on a shooting rampage on Utoya island, killing 69 people — mostly teens — at a summer camp. Breivik grew up with his mother in Oslo and had only intermittent contact with his father, a Norwegian diplomat who remarried and moved to Paris. “It’s completely unfathomable to me that my own son would have done such a thing,” he said. the associated press

Gilchrist County Sheriff Robert Schultz at a news conference identified the man as 51-year-old Don Spirit. He says the children ranged in age from three

months to 10 years old. Schultz says a deputy who arrived on a report of a shooting Thursday made contact with Spirit, who later committed suicide.

Police stop beheading plot, detain 15 suspects Australian ISIS plot. Supporters of the Islamic militant group alleged to be behind plot to kill Aussie Prime Minister Australian police thwarted a plot to carry out beheadings on Thursday that were to be conducted by local supporters of Islamic militants. Officials said police raided over a dozen properties across Sydney and were holding six people, one they have identified as the suspected ringleader. Nine others were detained and freed before the day was over. The raid involved 800 federal and state officers — the largest in Australian history — and came in response to intelligence that the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) leaders were calling on Australian supporters to kill Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Abbott was asked about reports that the detainees were planning to behead a random person in Sydney. “That’s the intelligence we received,” he told reporters, noting the threats came from a senior ISIS member in Australia. ISIS refers to the al-Qaida splinter group leading Sunni militants in Iraq and Syria.

“This is not just suspicion, this is intent — and that’s why the police and security agencies decided to act in the way they have,” Abbott said. New South Wales police did not say why nine of the detained people were released, or whether they would face charges later. The raids came just days after the country raised its terrorism threat to the secondhighest level in response to the domestic threat posed by supporters of ISIS. At the time, Abbott stressed that there was no information suggesting a terror attack was imminent. Later Thursday, Attorney General George Brandis confirmed that a person born in Afghanistan who had spent time in Australia and is now working with the Islamic State group in the Middle East ordered supporters in Australia to behead people and videotape the killings. “If the ... police had not acted today, there is a likelihood that this would have happened,” Brandis told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. Australia estimates about 60 citizens are fighting alongside the ISIS and Nusra Front groups in Iraq and Syria, while it additionally believes at least 100 Australians actively support extremist groups from within the country in capacities inclusive of training and recruitment.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford released a recorded message Thursday thanking his well-wishers. Ford was diagnosed Wednesday with malignant liposarcoma, a type of cancer that arises from fat cells and can attack a variety of soft tissues. He withdrew his candidacy for re-election as mayor last week, opting to run as a councillor in the same ward he had represented for a decade before being elected to the top job in 2010.

A frail-sounding Rob Ford implored Toronto voters from his hospital bed Thursday to elect his brother, Coun. Doug Ford, to succeed him, just hours before starting chemotherapy for a rare and aggressive cancer that forced him to drop out of the mayoral race. In a recorded threeminute statement released by his brother’s campaign team, a gravelly-voiced Ford first

thanked well-wishers, saying their support meant the world to him and his family. “With the love and support of my family, my friends, and the people of Toronto, I will beat this,” he added. “I am determined to face this head-on and return strong for my family and for my city.” Ford was diagnosed Wednesday with malignant liposarcoma, a type of cancer that arises from fat cells and can attack a variety of soft tissues. His doctor said he will be undergoing two rounds of chemotherapy before they determine the next step in his treatment. His brother entered the mayoral race after Ford withdrew his bid for re-election last Friday. One expert was skeptical

that the ill mayor’s endorsement of his brother will boost support even among Ford’s followers. “I just don’t think that we can expect that all those people are going to listen to that and move over, because their connection with Rob was an emotional connection,” said Henry Jacek, a political science professor at Hamilton’s McMaster University. Ford’s recording is not unlike the public letter former federal NDP leader Jack Layton penned on his death bed in 2011, he said. “Some people, for whom politics is so terribly important, they feel so strongly about (it), they’re delivering that political message right to the very, very end,” Jacek said.

Canadian Museum for Human Rights set to open in Winnipeg This weekend. Brainchild of Izzy Asper comes to light after years of fundraising and controversy shane Gibson

Metro in Winnipeg

After 14 years of work, Canada’s first national museum outside of Ottawa — the Canadian Museum for Human Rights — is set to open in Winnipeg this weekend. First envisioned by the late Winnipeg-based media magnate and philanthropist Izzy Asper in 2000, the 260,000-squarefoot museum will open its doors to the public for the first time Saturday following an opening ceremony Friday. “People have been working so hard, they’re so passionate and I think we realize what we have here — we’re a little like a kid before Christmas,” said museum spokeswoman Angela Cassie this week about finally opening the museum. “After all this work, having people coming through and experiencing the exhibits is an amazing feeling for all of us.” The $351-million museum, which sits at the historic confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers at The Forks in Winnipeg, has 47,000-square-feet of exhibit space and interactive galleries delving into everything from the Holocaust and war atrocities to the high and low points of Canada’s own human rights record. The museum has been a lightning rod for controversy during its development, with several cultural groups complaining human rights violations they’ve suffered are either absent from the exhibits, or glazed over. “For a human rights museum, that is to be expected,” Cassie said of the complaints and protests expected for the Timeline

opening weekend. “We will work together with organizations that have concerns, and allow that to update and inform how we update and renew our exhibits and public programming.”

July, 2000: Winnipeg media magnate and philanthropist Izzy Asper pitches to the federal government the idea of a “tolerance” museum in Winnipeg.

April, 2003: The Asper family, federal government, province and city announce plans for a $200-million human rights museum. The feds’ initial commitment is $30 million.

The public will be able to take guided tours of four of the museum’s galleries this weekend, and all exhibits — including the building’s iconic glass Tower of Hope — are set to open Sept. 27. Oct. 7, 2003: Izzy Asper dies. His daughter Gail Asper becomes the driving force behind the museum project.

Jan., 2006: While donations pour in, The Asper Foundation puts up another $12 million for capital costs. Opening is pushed from 2008 to 2010.

Dec., 2008: The federal government essentially takes over. The price tag is now $265 million. The feds kick in $100 million, plus annual operating costs of $21 million.

July, 2009: Construction gets underway, but inflation and other factors drive up the projected cost to $310 million.

Nov., 2013: Exterior construction nears completion. An opening date of Sept. 19, 2014, is announced. The price tag has grown to $351 million.

Sept., 2014: Workers rush to finish the first four galleries in time for the grand opening. As of press deadline, it’s unknown if they will finish on time.

Trial

Arab Bank execs didn’t support terrorism: Lawyer A defence lawyer has told a U.S. jury that executives at Jordan-based Arab Bank aren’t liable for a series of suicide bombings that killed Americans in Israel in the early 2000s. Attorney Shand Stephens said on Thursday that there is no proof any of the executives supported terrorism. Fahim Ali, left, and Amyn Jagshi are two of three men behind Isis, a jewelry shop in Calgary that they say is being routinely connected to an Islamic extremist group with the same name. Candice Ward/for METRO

Store named Isis may change name Zero connection. Calgary shop owners say they are enduring endless questions about whether their store, Isis, is connected to ISIS Jeremy nolais

Metro in Calgary

Three years ago, Amyn Jagshi and his business partners settled on the name Isis for their jewelry shop in Calgary’s Northland Village Mall in hopes of evoking an exotic vibe. Now, he claims he’s being asked four to five times a day about potential connections to Islamic radicals. “We have people come in and act like they’ve just solved a big mystery, like we are the ones behind these

guys,” Jagshi said referring to the group, known both as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). Jagshi suspects some of the association may be tied to media reports of at least four former Calgary residents who headed overseas to fight with the group in recent years. “People don’t know what they’re talking about,” he said. “There might be somebody doing that (funding the extremist group), but they wouldn’t put the name ISIS on their front door.” Isis is also the name of an Egyptian goddess, but lately the term has been prevalent in news headlines as the radical group has claimed to have beheaded two American journalists and a British aid worker. Meanwhile U.S. President Barack Obama has gone public with a plan to

train Syrian rebels to fight ISIS members. Jagshi said he’s considering changing the name after the Christmas busy season. In the meantime, he may put up a sign clarifying that the profits he’s making from necklaces and earrings are not being funnelled to the extremist group. In Edmonton, meanwhile, Colleen Sims says she’s “halfand-half” on whether to change the name of her company, Isis Clothing. She said she’s been on the receiving end of only one slur to date, but worries about the lasting attachment to the term. “I’ve been talking to my sales agents and they think it will be OK,” she said. “I can’t really tell you if we’ll change it or not ... it’s our crazy buying time, so any decision would probably be after that.” With files from Robson Fletcher/ metro in calgary

Telus Corp.’s first “transparency” report reveals that the Vancouver-based telecom company received about 103,500 official requests for information about its customers last year. A majority of the requests — nearly 56,800 — were made in emergency situations, such as to verify the location of 911 callers and another 40,900 requests were for names and addresses that are publicly available through directories. Telus also received about 4,300 court-ordered requests in 2013, mostly as part of domestic police investigations, but also two foreign requests made under Canada’s treaty obligations.

Telus executive vicepresident Eros Spadotto says the company is trying to strike a balance between fulfilling its responsibilities under the law and concern for its customers’ privacy. “You don’t have to look very far to know that this has become one of the key areas with clients all over the world, no matter what service provider they have, in terms of trying to understand how their information is being used,” Spadotto said in an interview ahead of the report’s release.

Air Canada, as expected, is joining rival WestJet Airlines in charging passengers a fee to check their first bag on domestic flights, as the two airlines also finalize plans to introduce other ancillary fees in a move to boost revenue. The new fee being charged by Air Canada applies to passengers booking the airline’s lowest economy class Tango fares as of Thursday for flights beginning Nov. 2. It applies to flights within Canada and to the Caribbean and Mexico. The Montreal-based airline has charged for a traveller’s first checked bag on U.S. routes since 2011. The country’s largest airline said the fee was being intro-

duced domestically to align it “with prevailing North American industry practices.” “We’re matching the market,” chief financial officer Michael Rousseau told a CIBC investor conference in Montreal. Earlier this week, Calgarybased WestJet announced a fee, ranging between $25 and $29.50 depending on provincial taxes, for a first checked bag for some economy class customers on flights within Canada and to the United States, but not to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and Europe. Industry observers had expected Air Canada to add the fee which, the airline says, will affect about 20 per cent of passengers on domestic flights. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Safety board has right to investigate oil disaster New Orleans. Court upheld right of a U.S. safety board to look into role of company in 2010 offshore oil spill A U.S. federal appeals court in New Orleans has upheld a federal safety board’s right to investigate the role of Transocean Deepwater Drilling Corp. in the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil disaster. Transocean owned the Deepwater Horizon rig that was drilling for BP PLC at its Macondo well, about 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, when an explosion killed 11 workers and led to the nation’s worst offshore oil spill. The company had challenged the authority of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Haz-

ard Investigation Board, often referred to as CSB, to do the investigation. In a 2-1 decision Thursday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s ruling that the board could investigate. Transocean officials did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. The investigation had continued during the appeal. In June, the board issued a report citing multiple failures and improper testing of the rig’s blowout preventer as factors in the explosion and found fault with BP and Transocean. In affirming the safety board’s authority to investigate the accident, the 5th Circuit noted that the law gives the board power to look into the accidental release of hazardous materials into the air from a “stationary source.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fighting inflation

Argentina approves price-control law Argentina’s congress on Thursday approved a law that lets the government intervene in setting prices and profits in an attempt to tackle one of the hemisphere’s worst inflation rates. Economy Minister Axel Kicillof said the measure, approved earlier by the Senate, would defend consumers

against “the innumerable abuses we suffer every day on the part of concentrated groups with monopoly power.” But local business leaders said the law is likely to aggravate shortages and inflation by discouraging people from selling price-controlled goods or making investments. The law gives the state power to set maximum and minimum prices as well as control profit margins. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RCMP investigate report that thousands of bees may have been poisoned RCMP in Brandon, Man., are investigating a report that thousands of honey bees have been poisoned in the region recently. Mounties say in a news release that two locations

northwest of Brandon in the rural municipality of Elton are involved. They allege that poisonings are believed to have happened between Aug. 14 and Sept. 3. Mounties say the bee producers have suffered a substantial financial loss. Dwindling bee populations have been an increasing concern in the agricultural community, though generally not because of any criminal action. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tough times

In recent years, bee populations worldwide have been ravaged by pesticides, parasites and Colony Collapse Disorder, a mysterious phenomenon in which worker bees suddenly disappear. • California. A record drought has reduced honey supplies, raising

prices and making it harder for beekeepers to earn a living. • Ontario. A proposed class-action lawsuit has been launched against two chemical companies that make pesticides widely blamed for massive bee deaths.

Based on a series of wildly popular young adult books, The Maze Runner sees Thomas, played by Teen Wolf’s Dylan O’Brien, plopped into a community of young men surrounded by a labyrinth. The rebellious Thomas wants to see if there is a way to navigate through the everchanging maze that stands between the boys and whatever is happening in the outside world. When a girl, played by Kaya Scodelario, arrives with a note clutched in her hand, (“She is the last one,”) it seems like the time has come to take on the maze and hopefully avoid being eaten by its evil guardians, the Grievers. • Richard: ••••• • Mark: •••••

popular young adult books — so yes, you can look forward to The Maze Runner 2: Electric Boogaloo coming soon to a theatre near you — and the immediacy of the story serves it well ... to a point. It’s a good set-up that turns into a becomes a standard 3D sci-fi chase flick. What did you think? Mark: Richard, it was dull, dull, dull, interrupted by the occasional exciting scene but it played like a dumbed-down version of Lost for paranoid teens. Yes, the set-up is good, but so little time is actually spent in the maze, and there’s too much time talk-

ing about it. The dialogue is mostly exposition, the acting is functional at best, and although it’s cut from the same cloth as The Hunger Games, it doesn’t have any of its bite. It’s no spoiler alert to reveal that some will survive, and the big reveal is laughable in the way it shills for the inevitable sequel. RC: I liked it way more than you. I liked that the characters are cyphers with no knowledge of their pasts, so they have to create personas based on their abilities in the camp. That way, unlike most original stores, we don’t

have to spend much time getting to know the characters, where they came from, or what their inner torment is. They don’t know and neither do we. Instead they concentrate on the present — their present — and survival. Imagine if the reality show Survivor was set in a world surrounded by an impenetrable maze and the only way to get voted off the island was to be eaten by a giant, mechanical Griever beast. MB: Actually, that’s a pretty good description of Survivor. Mazes intrigue me, and so do mad scientists.

You’d think the combination would work here, but it just didn’t for me. I preferred Cube and even the much-maligned The Village as riffs on the same topic. Of course, you could see the movie as a metaphor for a cruel deity’s continuous test of the human race, but... naaaaah. And I really wanted a more shocking ending. RC: I think there will be more thrills should the next part of the series ever get made. The first movie is just the foreplay. MB: Foreplay perhaps, but with cold fingers and bad breath.

think that’s true. I think the message of this film is a little bit more sophisticated than just schmaltz. It’s about getting in touch with a childlike wonder and accessing your own happiness through that. I found a lot of the British critics were like, “Oh no, this is terribly ... no, thank you.”

Simon Pegg goes all out in Hector and the Search for Happiness as the titular psychiatrist stymied by modern life who embarks on a globe-trotting trip to get in touch with his inner child. To hear Pegg tell it, how you respond to the film says a lot about you.

That’s the British critic accent? It is! “Oh no, we don’t like this. Too, too, too rough, too emotional.” I get why, but if you’re fundamentally unhappy, this film will shine quite a bright light on that, whereas if you have a capacity to be happy you’ll come out of it going, “Yeah, man!”

I totally fell for this film, but then I’m a total sap. Well, one person’s sap is another person’s ... emotionally open person. There’s nothing wrong with giving yourself over to something. It’s easy to be cynical and dismiss something that’s arguably sentimental as being frivolous, but I don’t

At one point Hector gets very down on his profession of psychiatry because many of his patients treat it as a luxury item, but that’s not the whole of that field. I totally agree that in psychiatry you can help people to address issues that they have that might damage

their lives, but at the same time when you don’t have to worry about survival, when you don’t have to worry about finding your next meal or living through the night, you have time to start thinking about stuff like that, and that’s when you start questioning your happiness. There is a certain numbness to modern living for us in affluent society where we have so much choice and we’re so looked after, pandered to, offered so much stuff that’s supposed to make us happy that we completely lose sight of what it means. Whereas if you spent yesterday avoiding being shot and you know that today you’re not going to get shot, your happiness would be so much more real and identifiable and easier to understand. That’s not advocating not getting shot as being a way of being happy, mind you. I don’t know, I could recommend not getting shot as a way to be happy. I could certainly recommend that just purely as a survival method.

A Walk Among the Tombstones stars Liam Neeson as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker (Dan Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and murdered his wife, the PI learns this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime... nor will it be the last.

The dramatic comedy This is Where I Leave You is directed by Shawn Levy, and based on the hilarious and poignant best-selling novel by Jonathan Tropper. It features a starring ensemble cast including Jason Bateman, Tina Fey and Jane Fonda.

Years after his young daughter vanished without a trace from the back seat of his truck, a father receives newfound hope that she is alive and being held in captivity in this drama from Academy Award-nominated director Atom Egoyan. Matthew (Ryan Reynolds) and Tina (Mireille Enos) were a happy couple before their daughter Cassandra was taken from them. In the aftermath of the tragedy, their relationship began to dissolve.

Based on a screenplay from Dennis Lehane, The Drop follows bartender Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy) through a covert scheme of funnelling cash to local gangsters — “money drops” in the underworld of Brooklyn bars. Under the heavy hand of his employer and cousin Marv (James Gandolfini), Bob finds himself at the centre of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deep into the neighbourhood’s past.

My Old Lady. Kevin Kline talks coming of age — a little bit later in life

metronews.ca WEEKEND, September 19-21, 2014

Dan Stevens has a twisted sense of humour The Guest. Actor jumped at the chance to have a role in a thriller that has him playing a veteran with a deadly secret Ned Ehrbar

Kevin Kline stars in My Old Lady, which opens in select theatres Oct. 3. contributed

When Kevin Kline agreed to play the lead role in playwright-turned-director Israel Horovitz’s My Old Lady — the 66-year-old star had a curious motivation to accept the part. “As one ages, there are fewer and fewer roles where you get the girl,” said Kline during a recent interview at the Toronto International Film Festival. “Usually you’re the old professor or the father (and) your son gets the girl and I have to give him my blessing and I get to die.” A witty light comedy, My Old Lady casts cordial Kline as a contemptuous American who gets a surprise when the Parisian apartment his estranged father willed to him comes with a string — namely a longtime, nonagenarian tenant (Maggie Smith) who has no intention of leaving. “I just hadn’t read anything like it and I thought there was something very true in the character,” explained Kline whose most frequent films, include Last Vegas and No Strings Attached.

“All the characters were people that one could recognize — they weren’t superheroes or super anything.” In fact, Kline (who is famously known as “Kevin DeKline” for his reluctance in choosing films) was drawn more to the character’s depth and the simple psychological ties to his past. As he attempts to eject his retired renter, he begins to learn more about his estranged father and must face his conflicted childhood. “It’s about quite a bit more than just damaged people,” said Kline. “(Director) Israel (Horovitz) has taken this failure and placed him in this alien place where he’s got to find himself as we all do when we’re put in some foreign locale. “He’s also trying to find his footing in life and his father seems to have thrown a real curveball at him … so there’s a lot going on — it’s kind of a coming-of-age movie, it’s about childhood and really growing up.” Steve Gow/Metro

Dan Stevens wanted a change and he certainly got one. After quickly developing a devoted fan base as Matthew Crawley on Downton Abbey, the 32-year-old actor was eager to shake things up. This week finds him as a vet with a deadly secret in The Guest and a troubled drug kingpin alongside Liam Neeson in A Walk Among the Tombstones. So ... pretty different. I saw this film yesterday and … holy crap. That’s a great response. I hope that’s a good “holy crap.” How on earth was this movie pitched to you? The funny thing was, it was never really pitched. I’d tried to sort of put the word out there that I was looking for something different, and I got sent this script. I’d recently seen You’re Next, and I just really wanted to meet the crazy guys who’d made that film. When I sat down with (director) Adam (Wingard) it was very quickly established that we had the same twisted kind

of sense of humour, but also the same desire to entertain. And as soon as we realized that we both really passionately loved the movie Big Trouble in Little China, we knew we were off to a good start. A classic, to be sure. One of the many things we like about that film, particularly for me as an actor, is just that the amount of fun that Kurt Russell looks like he’s having is kind of infectious as a performer. I think we were looking

to capture some of that passion and enthusiasm. Growing up in England, we were steeped in American action thrillers and horror movies, and it’s a kind of film that they don’t really make in England. There’s kind of a nod to it in Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s film Hot Fuzz, where they acknowledge that as Brit fanboys, we don’t get to make those kinds of movies. Something happened in the last 10 years or so

where everyone decided action movies had to be serious. Right. It’s interesting to watch these cinematic shifts in terms of how we approach things like violence. But there’s very much a kind of tonguein-cheek attitude to The Guest. And something I was keen to explore is how you inject character and humour into an action film, something that always used to happen in ’80s and ’90s action thrillers. And I kind of missed that.

Lena Dunham bares it all in memoir A girl grows up. With a new book coming out, the Girls creator says she’s learned to become comfortable with controversy When Lena Dunham first pitched an idea to television executives for a show centred on the lives of four young women in New York City, she was met with puzzlement and condescension. “They were like, ‘You know that thing when girls live together and they suddenly all get their periods at the same time?’ I was like, ‘No, I don’t know that thing, and even if it were true, there’s other stuff I’m worrying about that I’d rather write about,’” Dunham recalls with a laugh in a recent phone interview. Thankfully, Dunham found a home on HBO and now Girls, an unflinching look at the desires and humiliations of a quartet of 20-somethings, is set to enter a fourth season. After skyrocketing to fame as its creator and star, Dunham has turned her gaze inward to produce a collection of personal essays, called Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s ‘Learned’. Spanning her life from early childhood to present day, the book explores topics like her obsessive health fears, awkward sexual encounters

young women, but through a very personal lens.” She hopes that by sharing her own missteps she can help others avoid the same. Although she has long considered herself a feminist, Dunham says her awareness of sexism has been deepened by the sheer number of online attacks on her. A quick glance at her Twitter men-

tions reveals a steady stream of abuse, mostly focused on her body and unabashed nudity in Girls. “I think I thought sexism was on its last legs. I think I thought it was like a staggering old behemoth falling to the ground, and starting my career has just given me the sense that we have so much further to go.

“I always say I don’t want to be the girl who cried misogyny. I really, really try to take each situation at face value. But it is amazing both in my public and private life how much of the negative dialogue I get into has to do with my femaleness.” The fourth season of Girls is set for 2015. In the thirdseason finale, Hannah was

accepted into the elite Iowa Writers’ Workshop and told her shocked boyfriend (Adam Driver) she planned to attend. Hannah will be in “the most mature place we’ve ever seen her” at the start of season four, says Dunham. “And then, um, Shoshanna cut her hair to her chin. Big hair news!” she says. the canadian press

More than ‘Batman without Batman’ Gotham. Inhabiting Batman’s universe is a kick for series star Ben McKenzie — even if he won’t grow up to be Gary Oldman A one-sentence summary of the gloomy new comic bookbased series Gotham doubles as its chief criticism: It’s Batman without Batman. Star Ben McKenzie knows this. He’s the show’s fulcrum, portraying a young Commissioner Jim Gordon when he’s still just a detective paddling in seeming futility against a tide of crime and corruption. The show kicks off with Bruce Wayne still a child, about to endure the formative horror of seeing his parents murdered in front of him. When the show was first announced, Simpsons writer Mike Scully tidily summed up the skepticism of many onlookers when he tweeted: “Can’t wait to see Gotham to learn how Officer Gordon be-

came Commissioner Gordon. Hoping for lots of test-taking and waiting for scores.” McKenzie was actually among the 600-plus who retweeted the quip, and — as he journeyed to Canada in the spring to promote the show — his eyes lit up when reminded of it. But of course, he disagrees. “I understand the reflex of ‘Batman show without Batman,’” said the chatty Texan, best-known for starring roles on The O.C. and Southland. “But I think there’s so many people who are really, really fans of the entire universe that surrounds Batman. I mean, do you go to the movies and see the (Christopher) Nolan versions only for Christian Bale’s performance as Batman? No, of course not. You go to see all of these other characters, right? “I understand the criticism,” he continued, “but my short answer is, just watch it. If you don’t like it, don’t keep watching it, but I’m really proud of the pilot we’ve made ... I think people who are fans of this are, for the most part,

going to lose their minds.” For those devotees of the 75-year-old DC Comics franchise, McKenzie promises that Gotham will showcase the rogues’ gallery of freaks Batman eventually goes on to fight, in variously fledgling states of villainy. We’ll learn more about Wayne, too. And McKenzie’s vision for the show’s eventual end would see a finally grown

Wayne slip on the cape and cowl for the first time. “(That’s) hopefully a long time from now,” said McKenzie, rapping his knuckles on the wooden table to keep his karma straight. He’s confident about the show’s fortunes, and he’s not alone. Given the show’s blockbuster ties, it was earmarked early as a possible fall breakout.

Of course, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. failed to completely ignite despite similarly lucrative associations. But that show featured a cast of characters almost totally new to viewers, whereas McKenzie stresses the familiarity of the Gotham universe. Well, to most people. The 35-year-old actor, a University of Virginia graduate and nephew to Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan, notes with bemused wonder that he was given focus-group data in which a third of those polled hadn’t heard of Batman. “Lord knows where they pull these people from,” he marvelled. “That can’t possibly be. Now that I’m a part of it, I walk around, you go to the mall, you see people in Batman shirts, just walking around. “It’s just entered the lexicon. It’s entered the never-ending zeitgeist.” Gotham isn’t McKenzie’s first entry point into the Batman universe. He actually voiced the avenging orphan in the animated film Batman: Year One, which also showcased the talents of Bryan Cranston — who just won a Tony Award for his performance in All the Way, a play, McKenzie points out, written by his uncle. Growing up, McKenzie and his brother used to watch the arch, richly cheesy Adam West-starred ’60s Batman every afternoon. And he loves Nolan’s bleak, coffee-black cinematic take, in which intense Oscar nominee Gary Oldman inhabited the role of the noble police chief. “Someone tweeted me that it’s so cool you’ll grow up and be Gary Oldman,” McKenzie recalled. “I was like, ‘Sadly, I don’t think that’s how it works.’” THE CANADIAN PRESS

More superhero shows

Comic books take over TV Superheroes aren’t just dominating at the multiplex — they’re also flying onto the small screen, with at least four new TV series inspired by caped crusaders set to debut. Gotham, The Flash and Marvel’s Agent Carter will join the ranks of Arrow and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on CTV. Meanwhile Constantine, based on the DC Comics series about occult detective John Con-

stantine, will air on Global. Once thought to be the realm of outsiders and nerds, comic books are now decidedly mainstream. And since they come with a builtin fan base, TV shows based on comics are a solid bet for network executives hoping to land a ratings hit.

Phil King, president of CTV programming, said in an interview during the network’s spring upfronts that name recognition wasn’t enough for comic book shows to last — they also have to be good. “We already spend millions of dollars to market shows, so you want any advantage you can get where people go, ‘Oh, Gotham, cool, I’ll check it out.’ But that only gets people in the door Episode 1. If the show isn’t very good, it’ll flop at No. 2 and it’ll be gone by 3,” he said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Liquid Assets

Go beyond the obvious LIQUID ASSETS

Peter Rockwell @therealwineguy liquidassets@eastlink.ca

Wine and food pairing is an exercise in avoiding the obvious. Too often foodies focus on the main feature of a dish and ignore secondary components when picking a liquid to match. Sauces, spices and even vegetables will influence your dinner’s outcome, masking what you might think is the upfront flavour generator. This week’s recipe is a classic example. The chicken might seem the decision maker, or maybe it’s the pasta noodles. It’s really the can of tomatoes. Though the humble tomato may look harmless, it’s an acid bomb that doesn’t play well with most wines. At the heart of Ricardo’s rustic lasagna, it demands you choose a wine with an equally acidic personality. Many Italian grapes fit the bill. A white pinot grigio or red sangiovese or barbera has more than enough acidity. I’m partial to a pinot noir from France or California. Chateau St. Jean’s 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir ($18.99 - $19.95) is a plump and juicy Californian with plenty of tomatofriendly acid and bright red fruit.

Falkenheim leads the way on and off the ice QMJHL. Mooseheads captain back after hip surgeries that cost him most of last season KRISTEN LIPSCOMBE

kristen.lipscombe@metronews.ca

Whether in the defensive or offensive zone, on or off the ice, the Halifax Mooseheads know they can depend on 18-year-old forward Ryan Falkenham. So after three seasons, including one Memorial Cup win and one as alternate captain, the Haligonian has the C stitched onto the front of his jersey, for his fourth year with the QMJHL team he grew up watching. “I’m just a gritty two-way guy, that’s responsible in both zones,” Falkenham described himself as a player, some of the very reasons he has been named captain. “The Moose are a team you look up to when you’re younger, and something you strive for. Being named captain makes it even more special.” While he has plenty of experience with the Herd, Falkenham steps onto home ice as captain for the first time Friday night. The Mooseheads face off against the Moncton Wildcats at 7 p.m. for their home opener, at the newly named Scotiabank Centre. “They’re all ready to go,” he said of veterans and rookies alike.

that Falkenham doesn’t anticipate having “to tell them much” before the puck drops. “I just have to play my game on the ice, and keep doing the things I do off the ice,” he said of illustrating good habits. “Leading is something I like to do.” Despite his success with Halifax, it hasn’t always been easy for Falkenham, who only played 14 games last year due to bone growths in his hips that caused FAI, or fem-

Don’t underestimate the Halifax Mooseheads this season. That’s what Herd veterans said about a 2014-15 lineup that is fairly young, but very determined. “People are underestimating how good we are,” alternate captain Austyn Hardie. “We’re a young team that wants to work hard every game.” The 24-player roster features nine rookies. “We’ve got some young guys who’ve got some skill that really no one knows about,” said Hardie, who is expected back in action for this week-

Second-year forward Vincent Watt, 18, agrees the Herd’s hard work should pay off this season. The rookies are looking “really strong,” he said, especially in the absence of five top veterans who have been at NHL training camps this month. The Moose fell 4-1 to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan, but then edged the Charlottetown Islanders 6-5 in overtime, on the road last weekend. “Last year it was harder to keep the hype of the Mem Cup year,” Hardie said. “Take the pressure off, and teams play better.” KRISTEN LIPSCOMBE/METRO

Avalanche plunge into new territory with old man Iggy NHL. Up-and-comers from Colorado have added veteran knowhow to flashy core

Avs forward Ryan O’Reilly undergoes physical testing on Thursday in Denver. Jack Dempsey/The Associated PRess

Jarome Iginla took a few wrong turns and got lost heading into the office for his first day of work. So new to town, it’s understandable the Colorado Avalanche forward can’t quite navigate his way to Denver’s Pepsi Center yet. His direction on the ice, though, is impeccable. That’s why the Avalanche brought his leadership to Denver, hoping the 37-year-old can take them to the next level. This is a team that surprised the NHL last season by tying a franchise record with 52 wins in coach Patrick Roy’s first season. They also lost a Game 7 at home against the Minnesota Wild. That first-round loss still bothers captain Gabriel Landeskog, who reported for physicals Thursday with an early start on his playoff beard. “Last year we just wanted to make the playoffs and make a push,” said Landeskog. “Now, it’s about taking that next step and sending another message that we want to be a Stanley Cup contender.” To facilitate that, Colorado was quite active in the off-season. They acquired defenceman Brad Stuart from the San Jose Sharks and forward Daniel Briere from Montreal. And when they lost fan favourite Paul Stastny through free agency, they went ahead and signed Iginla, who has 560 career NHL goals.

New (old) guy on the block

“There are going to be some fun nights because of the things they can do.” Jarome Iginla on the prospect of playing on a line with Ryan O’Reilly and Matt Duchene

“He’s a natural goal-scorer,” Roy said. “I think he’s going to be very helpful to our guys.” Already renowned for his intense off-season workouts, Iginla stepped it up even another notch this summer so he can keep up with Colorado’s youngsters. Roy is leaning toward pairing Iginla with Ryan O’Reilly and Matt Duchene. “This is a very young, dynamic group,” said Iginla, who scored 30 goals for Boston last season. “Lots of speed, lots of skill and guys that are very competitive. The Avalanche caught the hockey world off-guard last season by winning the Central Division. Roy was named the league’s top coach and Nathan MacKinnon the rookie of the year. O’Reilly earned the Lady Byng Award for gentlemanly conduct. “If it’s on the golf course, anywhere in Denver, there’s an excitement and we want to continue to have our fans excited about our team,” Roy said. “Last year we approached it that we wanted to surprise the world of hockey. I think if we can go even deeper in the playoffs that would surprise the world of hockey again.” The Associated PRess

Penguins

Crosby, Malkin already dinged up Penguins forwards Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin will be held out of the start of training camp as a precaution with what the team described as minor injuries. First-year coach Mike Johnston said both players were injured in the lead-up to camp, which begins Friday. Neither injury is considered long term. Johnston added Crosby’s issue is not related to a wrist injury that hindered him late last season and into the Stanley Cup playoffs. “We’ll see over the next few days, I don’t expect any of them to be long,” Johnston said. “But when the trainers and the doctors inform us at this time of the year that we better be cautious with a few people, then we’re going to be cautious. The Associated Press

Wild

Kuemper gets deal after Harding injury The Minnesota Wild have signed goalie Darcy Kuemper to a two-year contract. The Wild finally secured Kuemper on Thursday, one day after starting goalie Josh Harding broke his right foot. The injury helped motivate the Wild to get a deal done with Kuemper, who went 12-8-4 with a 2.43 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in 26 games last season. The 24-year-old Kuemper was locked in negotiations with the Wild all summer, with the sides unable to come to agreement and training camp set to begin. The Wild were already thin at goalie, with Harding missing much of last season while dealing with multiple sclerosis, and veteran Niklas Backstrom struggling with injuries. The Associated Press

Ukraine asks FIFA, UEFA to suspend Russia

Ukraine’s football federation called on FIFA and UEFA on Thursday to suspend 2018 World Cup host Russia from international football over the Crimea crisis. Hours later, UEFA insisted Ukrainian and Russian officials held a “constructive

and ordered discussion” at its headquarters earlier Thursday “with goodwill shown by both sides.” The Ukrainian federation was enraged when three clubs from Crimea, annexed by Russia in March, moved to play in Russian competitions. UEFA has ruled that it will not recognize Crimean clubs results, saying a team winning a Russian competition after playing a Crimean club would not qualify for Europe. the associated press

Dwyer broke wife’s nose, punched her Head-butt. Police report says attack came after she refused his sexual advances Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer headbutted his wife and broke her nose after she refused his sexual advances, and punched her in the face the next day, police said Thursday. The details surfaced in a law enforcement report a day after Dwyer was arrested on aggravated assault charges and deactivated from all team activities after he was taken into custody at the Cardinals’ practice facility and headquarters in Tempe. He spent a night in jail and made a brief court appearance before being released on a $25,000 bond early Thursday. The arrest came at a time when the NFL and its commissioner are under fire over a series of violent off-the-field encounters involving some of the league’s marquee players, including Ray Rice, Adrian

Fear

“I’m calling the police.” Dwyer’s wife shouted as she held her swollen face and clutched to her 17-monthold son.

Peterson and Greg Hardy. The NFL has said the Dwyer case will be reviewed under the league’s personal-conduct policy. On Thursday, the Cardinals placed Dwyer on the reserve/non-football illness list. A person with knowledge of the situation said Dwyer was undergoing mental evaluation because of mentions of suicide referred to in police documents. Dwyer was arrested Wednesday for investigation in two altercations that occurred on July 21 and 22 at his Phoenix residence, just days before the Cardinals reported to training camp. His wife left the state after the incidents, but came forward a week ago after Dwyer apparently sent suicidal text messages including a photo of a knife. the associated press

Hester sets a new NFL record with his 20th TD return Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Devin Hester, right, recovers the ball after Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Alterraun Verner, left, fumbled during the first half on Thursday, in Atlanta, Ga. Hester ran back a punt 62 yards down the left in the second to give the Falcons a seven-touchdown lead. John Bazemore/the associated press

Epic slump continues. Texas sweeps dejected A’s The Oakland Athletics are stunned by their September collapse, yet stuck to find a solution. And with the way things are going, manager Bob Melvin can’t talk about playoffs, let alone plan for them. Sonny Gray and the A’s kept tumbling Thursday, falling out of the top AL wild-

card spot with a 7-2 loss to Texas that gave the Rangers a three-game sweep. “It’s not very fun. When you’re in a race, it’s supposed to be fun,” left fielder Brandon Moss said. “But I don’t see anyone in this clubhouse having any fun, because it’s not. We’re pretty frustrated. We’re disappointed. But it’s

not over, and we know that.” The latest loss to the team with the worst record in the majors dropped the A’s a half-game behind idle Kansas City for the first wild-spot slot. Oakland owned the best record in the big leagues as recently as Aug. 15. “We’re still in the wild card. All that’s moot unless

we start to play better. We’ll find ourselves in no position if we continue to lose,” Melvin said. “You’ve got to fight being beat down based on what has transpired here recently.... It’s tough sometimes to get over these things. They’re all accountable for what they do. We all are.” the associated press

Horoscopes by Sally Brompton

Aries

March 21 - April 20 A relationship may be going through a rough patch but the planets indicate there’s nothing to worry about. You could still make things easier by not giving them the impression you don’t care, when you do.

Taurus

April 21 - May 21 It doesn’t matter what threats you make today, a work colleague will move at their own speed — and that’s dead slow! Grit your teeth and bear it.

Gemini

May 22 - June 21 Your priority now must be to get out into the world and do what Geminis do best to have fun. Career and money worries can be left until another day.

Cancer

June 22 - July 23 There will be good and bad days but there will be a lot more of the former if you change the way you assess what is “good” and “bad”. You can be far too hard on yourself.

Leo

July 24 - Aug. 23 However difficult your current situation, you’ll handle it with ease. You need to realize that whatever you have to face is what you’re meant to face.

Virgo

Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 What happened in the past is irrelevant to your present situation. Look back only to learn a lesson or two then look and move forward.

metronews.ca WEEKEND, September 19-21, 2014

Libra

Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Don’t beat yourself up about something that went wrong. If you indulge your emotions, you may lose sight of good things you have to be thankful for.

Scorpio

Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Something that made perfect sense a while ago now seems to make no sense at all. A day or two from now you will have forgotten why you thought it was so important.

Sagittarius

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You may have strong views on controversial topics but the planets warn this is not the right time to make an issue of them. Wait until the Sun moves in your favour on the 23rd.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 You may be having a great deal of fun but have you considered the consequences which could arise from some of your more impulsive actions?

Feb. 20 - March 20 The best way to deal with a negative situation is to ignore it. If you do, it’ll quickly shrink in importance. The more you focus on what’s going wrong, the longer it will stick around.
