MARK-UP

Beer costs rising — for all brewers Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton

COMMON STRUGGLE Somali, indigenous communities unite in Edmonton to disrupt ‘us-against-them mentality’ metroNEWS

The cost of cracking a cold one in Alberta is about to climb with summer temperatures, as the government is set to increase mark-ups on beer from smaller brewers. Last October, the province introduced new mark-ups that gave preference to smaller brewers in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, charging them between just $0.10 per litre and $0.55 per litre, while charging brewers from outside those provinces, along with large volume brewers, $1.25 per litre of beer they sold. But beginning Aug. 5, Alberta is scrapping that structure and all brewers — regardless of their size or origin — will pay $1.25 per litre. Finance Minister Joe Ceci said the change would create consistency. “All brewers, regardless of size or origin, are going to have one consistent mark-up applied to them,” he said. Ceci said Alberta brewers would get a lift from a new grant program, but he could not say yet if that will fully offset the cost of the mark-up hike. “It’s going to support and encourage growth and development in the industry,” he said. “The details on that are coming in a few weeks.” Terry Rock, executive director of the Alberta Small Brewers’ Association, said the organization is optimistic the promised grant program will keep them whole. “We don’t think they are going to do anything that harms the industry,” he said.

‘Boundaries cut our kids adrift’ education

Parents left to rail against proposed new school zones

How it works Edmonton Public Schools spokesperson Brad Stromberg provided insight into what district planners consider when creating school boundaries. Here are the key points:

Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour

Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton One Creekwood parent was “half baffled and half irate” when she saw her family is outside the boundaries for a new neighbourhood school. Carrie Van de Sande lives less than a kilometre from the new Donald R. Getty school in Chappelle, near 41 Avenue and 156 Street, and Edmonton Public Schools administration has proposed two options for boundaries — both of which would cut out Creekwood to the east of the school.

It’s insane. It’s absolutely crazy. I couldn’t believe it. Carrie Van de Sande

“I was shocked,” said Van de Sande, who planned to send her youngest daughter to Donald R. Getty for kindergarten when it opens in fall 2017. “My kids could walk, but aren’t allowed. It’s insane. It’s absolutely crazy. I couldn’t even believe it.” Creekwood is proposed as a “secondary attendance area,” meaning kids there can apply to attend the school but are not guaranteed to get in — even though it is one of the more developed neighbourhoods in the area. Van de Sande’s daughter’s designated school is Duggan, where her oldest daughter

school. “It’s extremely frustrating,” she said. Parents continue to rally school administration to reconsider the boundaries, and a

Planners use city planning documents and development rate predictions to project the final student population in a neighbourhood, enabling them to create boundaries that are sustainable in the long term – which means a school may not be filled initially. Boundaries are typically defined by something that is easily recognizable, like a major roadway, creek or ravine. Future plans for other schools in the area are always considered, though schools in the district’s capital plan don’t always have provincial funding secured. Students can apply for any school in the city through a random selection process, but if they are not selected, their neighbourhood’s designated school is required to take them.

new proposal is expected in the fall. Meanwhile, community members can take a survey on the Edmonton Public Schools website until Sept. 12 to voice their concerns.

Officials issue hepatitis warning

The park and ride lots will have much more paid parking spots come September. metro file

Park and ride costs hiked transit

City council approves plan for $10 increase per month Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton More commuters will now have to pay up to $600 per year to park at LRT stations. City council finalized plans Tuesday to make up to 75 per cent of spots at park and ride lots paid and to raise the cost

from $40 to $50 per month. Sandra Ratzin, who commutes from the Century Park Station, said it’s frustrating that the city is making it more difficult for riders. Ratzin said she currently arrives early during the winter months to get a spot in the Century Park lot, which she said is usually full by 7:00 a.m. She said adding more costs to the trip makes transit less enticing. “It already costs $100 a month for an LRT pass, so it feels expensive and timeconsuming already,” she said. The Century Park lot currently has 3,500 people on a

I going to get a spot, am I going to have to keep competing for that spot?” Ratzin bike commutes in the summer and is also concerned she would be paying for a parking spot she doesn’t use during those months. She concedes she could take the bus to the station, but added that would make her commute even longer. Coun. Michael Walters, who along with Coun. Andrew Knack and Coun. Bryan Anderson voted against the proposal, said he was mostly concerned about the Century Park lot. Walters said right now the

city pays the landowner for the property, which he is anxious to see redeveloped and doesn’t want the landowner to have any other reasons not to build. “I am not interested in having any profit for parking go to that owner currently,” he said. Walters said he understands the need for park and ride, but doesn’t believe it should happen on what was planned as a mixed-use residential development. “The surface gravel parking lot is not something that should happen close to the core that should be focused on the outskirts.”

Health officials are warning that customers of a restaurant with locations in Edmonton and St. Albert may have been exposed to hepatitis A. Alberta Health Services says a food handler working at Edo Japan at Manning Town Centre in Edmonton and Tudor Glen in St. Albert has tested positive for hepatitis A. It says people who ate food from these locations between June 13-18 June 21-28 may have been exposed to the virus. AHS says the risk to the public is low but advises anyone who ate there at those times should monitor themselves and their family until Aug. 17. Symptoms may include fatigue, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and fever followed by dark-coloured urine, light-coloured stools, and yellowing of eyes and skin several days later. If people develop the symptoms in the specified time period, they are asked to contact Health Link at 811 immediately. “While we believe the risk to the public is low, hepatitis A is a serious infection,” says Dr. Joanna Oda, medical officer of health for Alberta Health Services, Edmonton Zone. Oda says there is no ongoing risk of infection associated with either Edo locations. Both have been cleaned, inspected, and approved as safe to operate by AHS public health inspectors. the canadian press

IN BRIEF Bike lane project approved After increasing acrimony from the cycling community, Edmonton city council voted to study temporary protected bike lanes on 102 Avenue on Tuesday. Stantec Engineering has pushed the project forward by offering $10,000 of their own money, matching the $10,000 the city will spend to study what a basic minimum grid in the downtown would look like. Coun. Scott McKeen brought the motion

forward. Council approved the idea unanimously after one tweak from Coun. Ben Henderson, who asked to consider a minimum grid in the entire core, including Old Strathcona. Permanent protected bike lanes on 102 Avenue were approved in 2014 but face years of delays as they’re incorporated into LRT construction. This proposal could see temporary lanes with concrete dividers put in place far more quickly. metro

Uniting to solve common problems minorities

Partnership between Somali and indigenous communities Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton Somali and Indigenous communities in Edmonton are finding strength in numbers. The Ogaden Somali Community of Alberta Residents (OSCAR) and the Wichitowin

Society forged a partnership this spring, and are now discussing inner-city crime and other issues that affect both communities. “We work in a vacuum and it’s the us-against-them mentality that we want to disrupt,” said OSCAR executive director Ahmed Abdulkadir. “Mainly, we want to learn from each other.” OSCAR spearheaded the initial meeting in conjunction with E4C, an organization working to alleviate poverty, and has expanded the group’s work with Wicihitowin to address common struggles with poverty

and fair access to the marketplace. They say these two issues factor into drug and gang problems. Many members of both communities live in the same neighbourhoods — notably Parkdale, Delton, McCauley and Alberta Avenue. The group will host a crosscultural economic development debriefing Wednesday to launch an ad-hoc committee that will make proposals to the city. Abdulkadir said he no longer wants to wait for solutions to come top-down from government. “We want to educate our communities

on what they can do,” he said. “We want to own where we are and we want to do our share and we should not be waiting on others to tell us what to do.” Wicihitowin interim chief executive Sheldon Hughes said the two groups share a similar “institutional backlash” from colonial experiences. “There certainly is strength in numbers,” Hughes said. “Moreso, the need to find commonality, to find those collective priorities, it helps to create a stronger message – one that can affect the most change.”

Trudeau visits the troops Anglicans approve equality

politics

PM, son watch manoeuvres by the military in Ukraine A show of force capped Justin Trudeau’s six-day swing through eastern Europe on Tuesday, underlining the risks and challenges Canada faces in an increasingly volatile and politically important part of the world. The prime minister flew into Lviv in western Ukraine before driving to a nearby military base for a first-hand look at the work of 200 Canadian soldiers who have been training the Ukrainian army since last summer. From a distance, Trudeau, his son Xavier and defence chief Gen. Jonathan Vance watched through binoculars as a Sovietera armoured personnel carrier led a group of Canadian and Ukrainian soldiers toward a wooden building. The air shook as the vehicle’s cannon fired several bursts in quick succession. The troops then moved away from the vehicle and spread out in a line facing the building. Four Canadians followed close

We need to continue to work with those who are fighting for democracy. helping Ukraine in its struggle with Russia, as well as other countries that find their democracies or territory under siege. “It has been a long time since Canada had to defend our valour and defend our territory,” Trudeau said in French. “But we need to continue to work with those who are fighting for democracy and their territorial integrity. It is essential.” The unanswered question, however, remains just how far Trudeau’s Liberal government, which has declared its commitment to peacekeeping efforts and re-engaging with Russia — are prepared to go when such a fight looms. Trudeau’s comments in Lviv, as well as remarks he made Monday in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, suggested a shift in tone, albeit a slight one.

Questions about the integrity of the voting process in which Anglicans narrowly rejected a resolution to allow same-sex marriage emerged Tuesday, leading to a stunning reversal of the result that had caused anguish among many members. A few delegates to the six-day General Synod stood up just a couple of hours before the session was to close to say their votes had not been recorded during voting late Monday — when passage of the resolution failed by a single vote. “That is an issue of concern,” Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the church, responded. To pass, the resolution required two-thirds approval by lay, clergy and bishops. The clergy failed to reach that threshold by one vote, which was not counted because it was wrongly attributed to a lay member. The error was discovered after delegates requested a detailed hard copy of the electronic voting records. “That is our reality,” Hiltz told stunned delegates. “That the motion is in fact carried in all three orders.”

Canadians split on restaurant tipping Wanyee Li

Metro | Vancouver An Angus Reid Institute poll released Wednesday shows while Canadians are split on the issue of tipping, more would rather see restaurants keep the practice than abandon it. But Vancouver restaurantowner Nevada Cope said the

difficult decision to switch to a tipping model came down to revenue issues, not customer feedback. “(It) was super heartbreaking to me. I wanted to make it work but it came down to either me or the business,” said Cope, who owns Ritual, a restaurant in Vancouver’s West End. The restaurant paid its servers and kitchen staff a $21 liv-

ing wage when it opened in April until last Friday, when it changed to the conventional model of accepting tips. Meanwhile, an Earls restaurant in Calgary launched a no-tipping model last week in favour of a 16 per cent hospitality charge. Consumer opinion on the issue is split in Canada, with 46 per cent of respondents to the Angus Reid Institue poll re-

porting a preference for tipping and 40 per cent responding in favour of a no-tipping model. Time will tell whether the practice of tipping will continue in Canada, said Shachi Kurl, executive director at Angus Reid Institute. “I think it is a bit of a waitand-see to really gauge whether across the country Canadians are ready to embrace a no tipping way of eating out.”

Obama pays tribute to murdered officers

Texas

‘We are not as divided as we seem,’ president says President Barack Obama urged Americans rattled by a week of violence and protests to find “open hearts” and new empathy Tuesday in a speech that seesawed between honouring police officers for their bravery and decrying racial prejudice that can affect their work. Obama stood next to five empty chairs for the white police officers killed last week by a black man seeking vengeance for police killings.

of the past week — including the killing of two black men by white police officers as well as the Dallas attacks. Disturbing videos of the events have “left us wounded and angry and hurt,” he said. “It is as if the deepest fault lines of our democracy have suddenly been exposed, perhaps even widened.” Undaunted, the president urged Americans to cast aside such doubt and replace it with faith in the nation’s institutions and progress. “Dallas, I’m here to say we

must reject such despair. I’m here to insist that we are not as divided as we seem. And I know that because I know America. I know how far we’ve come against impossible odds,” he said. The president spoke steps away from the chairs left empty for the five men killed last Thursday while protecting hundreds of people protesting the killings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Three arrested in plot to kill police

Police arrested three suspects and were seeking a possible fourth suspect accused of stealing several handguns as part of what authorities Tuesday described as “substantial, credible threat” to harm police officers in the Baton Rouge area. The arrests come at a time of heightened tensions after the deadly police shootings of black men in Baton Rouge and Minnesota and the killing of five police officers in Dallas last week. Authorities in Baton Rouge discovered the alleged plot while responding to a burglary at a

We had credible threats against the lives of law enforcement in this city. Chief Carl Dabadie pawn shop early Saturday morning, Baton Rouge police Chief Carl Dabadie said in a press conference. The first suspect arrested told police that “the reason the burglary was being done was to harm police officers.” “We have been questioned repeatedly over the last several days about our show of force and why we have the tactics that we have.

Well, this is the reason, because we had credible threats against the lives of law enforcement in this city,” he said. Authorities said they arrested one suspect at the pawn shop and tracked down two others. The third suspect arrested was a 13-year-old boy who was apprehended on a street. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

‘Far and away the best’: Sanders endorses Clinton With hugs and handshakes, Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton for president on Tuesday and emphatically told his supporters their “political revolution” must now turn to electing his Democratic former rival. Sanders bestowed his longawaited support before a boisterous New Hampshire crowd, declaring he wanted to make it “as clear as possible as to why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton.” He vowed to do everything he could to help her defeat Repub-

lican candidate Donald Trump. “This campaign is about the needs of the American people and addressing the very serious crises that we face,” Sanders said. He added: “And there is no doubt in my mind that, as we head into November, Hillary Clinton is far and away the best candidate to do that.” As Sanders delivered the endorsement just two weeks shy of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Clinton offered a huge smile, embracing

him as they raised their arms in unity. Clinton said the final four months of the campaign would be “much more enjoyable” working alongside Sanders and echoed her campaign slogan, “We are stronger together.” During much of her remarks, Clinton embraced many of Sanders’ causes, vowing to oppose trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, fight to raise the minimum wage and overhaul campaign finance.

Canada still a grey area for viral game Pokémon GO

Players have lost gaming privileges, reports say

In Canada The app is only available in the U.S., New Zealand and Australia. The Canadian release has been delayed because so many people have piled into the game that they have overwhelmed the company’s servers.

Never mind the risks of wandering into traffic, getting arrested for trespassing or even stumbling upon a dead body. What Canadian Pokémon GO users are most afraid of is getting banned from the viral new virtual-reality game. There are unconfirmed reports of Canadian players having their accounts locked or gaming privileges revoked on the mobile app. Neither the developer, Niantic, nor the publisher, Nintendo, has commented about the rumours publicly. Pokémon GO has not been officially released in Canada, but that hasn’t stopped diehard fans. They’ve accessed it on iPhones by opening an American iTunes store account or on Android phones by downloading pirated versions of the program. Neither option is endorsed by the company. But using Android application (APK) files from questionable Internet sites, called “sideloading,” comes with the additional risk of pick-

Effects Here are some of the effects the game is having across the country. Ottawa: The game tempted hordes of wouldbe Pokémon masters into the downtown core, causing them to discover new restaurants, bars, parks and the country’s seat of power. Calgary: An officer gave a group of kids found wandering around a construction yard some strong words of advice about trespassing, and let them GO on their way. Toronto: In their quest to catch ‘em all, users in Toronto are rediscovering landmarks in their city.

ing up nasty malware that could steal personal information. But can Nintendo really see if

you’re playing pirated Pokémon GO on your phone, and reach in and stop you?

Though this hasn’t been confirmed, it’s totally possible and no hacking would be required, says web developer and coding instructor Ryan Christiani of Toronto’s Hacker U. “It’s not released in Canada yet, so anybody with a Canadian-registered device would automatically be flagged, I assume. And if (GPS shows) your activity is in a region of the world that is not part of the release, that’s another way they could tell,” Christiani said. The only obstacle for Canadians who are hell-bent on playing Pokémon GO right now is getting the app onto their phones, Christiani explained. Once it’s downloaded, they can log in with a Pokémon or Google account and start chasing critters around the neighbourhood. Pirated versions are not fakes. Canadian players are using the company’s servers, which is why Niantic is free to lock people out if they violate its terms of service.

Reaction

Canadian fans losing patience

Canadian Pokémon fans (or Pokémaniacs or Pokéholics, depending on who you ask) are past patiently waiting for the new augmented-reality app Pokémon GO. On social media they’re crowing at Nintendo and Niantic to hurry up and get the game to the Great White North. “(I’m) losing my mind,” said Mike McDonald of Hamilton in a tweet to Metro. “I check Twitter and the App Store every five minutes,” echoed Isaac Hatcher of Whitby, Ont. But unlike many bandwagon-jumping events of the past, there hasn’t been much hostility towards newcomers from diehard, long-time superfans. “I love that people are into Pokémon again,” McDonald

said. The welcoming attitude may be a result of how widely beloved Pokémon was during its heyday in the 1990s and early 2000s. “I think every millennial wants to try Pokémon GO at least a little bit,” said Samantha Emann, Metro’s resident video

game expert and co-host of the e-sports podcast Scrub League. “Pokémon hipsters are not a thing. Everybody was into it. Even if you weren’t into it, you knew about it.” Genna Buck/Metro Follow Samantha Emann on Twitter @smemann

Parents should make most of Pokémon Go

ROSEMARY WESTWOOD

ON BLACK LIVES MATTER’S GRACE

Coverage of the group has revolved not around the issues. It’s revolved around how white mainstream Canada feels implicated. So in every exchange with the press, the movement’s leaders have been forced to defend their existence. Toronto’s Black Lives Matter organizers often talk of playing the long game, as if standing on some high vantage point from which a future vista can be glimpsed. For Rodney Diverlus — a frequent spokesperson — that vista is free of antiblack racism, and devoid of a militarized police. The long game, he says, offers sustained motivation. The long game may even serve to temper expectations, when events like the Dallas massacre of five police officers upends a conversation about violence against black people, and fuels a counternarrative of police under attack. From the outside, the long game seems like a survival mechanism. From the outside, it’s seems to give the Toronto chapters its signature, striking elegance. Last week was a tumultuous one for the group, which has agitated for Canada’s biggest city to recognize and dismantle systemic racism, most notably in policing, for the past two years. There was the distress of two police shootings of black men almost back-to-back in the U.S., followed by Dallas. Before all three events, the group had whipped up a Canadian controversy when they halted the July 3 Toronto Pride parade for 30 minutes. They unveiled nine demands for organizers, all focused on black and racial-minority visibility and support at the event, except for one, which called for an end to police parade floats. Predictably and swiftly, the

press pounced and, mostly ignoring the eight demands, went for the jugular on the ninth. Mainstream outlets of supposedly conflicting political stripes struck a homogenous tone: Black Lives Matter was rude, a bunch of bullies, the antithesis of Pride’s inclusivity. There was a widespread suspicion of their tactics, a general agreement that the group had only

Racism in Canada — against black people, indigenous people, Chinese people, and on and on — is not exactly splashy. Having tinted our entire culture like a dye, lacking the explosive, Jackson Pollock pigment patterns found in America, it allows many of us the option of ignoring it. Thus, from the start, the coverage of Black Lives Mat-

hindered its own cause. By the time media began publishing a lesser number of alternate reactions — suggesting such knee-jerk condemnation revealed a willful misreading of the deeply political nature of Pride events — the tone had been set. Black Lives Matter was the bad guy. As it’s been from its inception, for fairly simple reasons. The group is an affront to Canadian society on two levels: Its tactics offend our Canadian gentility (How rude! They held up a parade! And they didn’t even ask first!) and its premise underlines a pervasive racism we do not wish to see (What are they complaining about? We’re all friends here!).

ter protests (shutting down a major Toronto road; camping outside police headquarters) has revolved not around the issues that spawned them, like black incarceration rates, poverty rates and education rates. It’s revolved around how white mainstream Canada feels uncomfortably implicated. In every exchange with the press, the movement’s leaders have been forced to defend their existence in the same breath as they advocate for change. Surly a tiresome task, but Black Lives Matter spokespeople rarely show it. And last week especially, in the face of a maelstrom of tone-deaf condemnations from the press, its leaders were unflappable.

Catherine Little

There was, for example, the graciousness of Diverlus on the CBC’s Power and Politics show, as he explained why activism is in the DNA of all Pride events. There was the clear and controlled oped in Now magazine from Janaya Khan, who claimed progress in the midst of a maelstrom of police balking, Pride backtracking (organizers signed up to the demands to get the parade going, then later reneged), and reproach from Toronto mayor John Tory. “For our issues to be taken seriously in the media” — even just to get coverage — “there’s a particular decorum that people will respond better to,” Diverlus told me. “The issues on the ground are complex, they’re tricky, they’re murky, they’re emotion-filled.” But activists cannot afford to be. “I feel unable to express my rage, my full extent of my rage, because I’m already seen as being only full of rage.” And so they play the game, taking the flack, racist and otherwise, of putting your face to such a widely unpopular cause, then responding straight-faced when a TV reporter asks if the next target is the Santa Claus parade. We — the media, the mainstream — demand such stoicism, and then we fetishize it. Take the newly deemed “iconic” photo of the black woman in Baton Rouge, statuesque as she’s swarmed by riot-gear police. Notice that hundreds of photos taken before, where Black Lives Matters protesters didn’t go quietly, have not met the “iconic” standards. That some activists do sit on such a pedestal is not a measure of their nobility, but those activists deserve a unique kind of respect. The scope of Toronto Black Lives Matter’s impact can be debated, but not its grace or dignity.

It has been eight years since Pokémon fever raged at my house, so I was intrigued to hear about Pokémon Go, the incredibly popular augmented-reality smartphone game. The idea is to use your phone’s GPS to go to real places and “catch” virtual Pokémon. I have read a few articles describing the dangerous situations players have found themselves. And on Monday, I saw a segment of the CTV show The Social in which the hosts despaired for the future of humanity because people were wasting their time trying to become Pokémon Masters. So far I’ve heard nothing about the game’s potential learning opportunities. As a mom and teacher, I can tell you if we could harness and utilize the power of Pokémon, we would be able to reach a lot of children we might characterize as reluctant learners. When Pokémon became the “big thing” at my son’s school he was 6 and he wanted to collect the cards. I recalled that when my younger brother was interested in Pokémon, the cards were used to play a game, so I taught myself how to play. In addition to understanding my son’s interest, I realized I could use it to help him learn to read. I was right. Because he was highly motivated to learn the strengths and weaknesses of each character, it took him mere weeks to figure out how to decode the information on the cards. He also practiced basic addition and subtraction, which enabled him to track characters’ health

points. Most importantly, he used higher-order thinking skills to build winning decks, wherein each of 60 cards complemented the others. Eventually, we attended events and tournaments and met an incredibly friendly community. Experienced players were happy to mentor my son and share their knowledge and resources. I noticed that the best players were very smart but not necessarily motivated at school. So far, Pokémon Go has been blamed for being so distracting that players are hurting themselves and neglecting their real-life relationships, but I see learning potential in this game too. Parents could use it to teach mapping and responsible use of GPS, as well as financial-literacy (e.g., how to manage the limits of a mobile-data plan). Parents can help their children learn to balance the game with their other responsibilities and teach them when it might be inappropriate to play. Finally, this game requires players to go outdoors. Early reports are that it has been very successful in motivating people who might spend most of their time inside in front of a screen to explore ravines, parks and other natural areas. As a former outdoor education program co-ordinator, I know this is an important first step. So instead of fighting against it, it might be worth investigating how to leverage the teaching potential of something players find so highly motivating.

Jamie Oliver’s food emergency exclusive Q&A

Celeb chef on meatless Mondays and ‘wonky veg’ Melita Kuburas

Metro | Canada Food activism is a priority for celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. Recently, he has made an effort to cut his meat consumption to less than three times a week, Oliver tells Metro in an email interview. He is also excited to see U.K. grocery stores selling “wonky veg” (or “ugly” produce, as it’s known in North America) to reduce food waste and make fresh ingredients cheaper. We chatted with Oliver, who just opened his second Jamie’s Italian location in Canada at Square One shopping centre in Mississauga, Ont., about his passion as he eyes expansion across Canada. Your first North American restaurant opened in Toronto last year and now we’re getting a second. What have you learned about the scene here? I think people in Greater Toronto are very savvy when it comes to food — they love the

idea of being in a comfortable and casual environment, but really see the value in what we do. I think they definitely appreciate the sourcing behind and the quality of the ingredients we use, and at the same time, love the simple style of our food and the accessible environment. You have been a big supporter of getting children to eat healthier through school programs like Feed Me Better. What did you learn? OK, it’s been over 10 years since the first School Dinners campaign so I’ve learnt a lot, but I guess one of the most important things is that, in general, kids love to have ownership over the food they eat. Getting them involved in growing and cooking from an early age, will mean that they’re much more likely to eat a wide range of foods as an adult. In the U.K., we have the Kitchen Garden Project, which helps schools to create kitchen gardens — the children look after, nurture and grow food, and go on to use their produce in a whole variety of lessons. They end up cooking and eating all kinds of fantastic food — it’s inspiring to see. What do you see as your next big cause?

The current campaign, which is the global Food Revolution to tackle the worldwide problems of obesity and diet-related disease, is very long-term and I have no doubt that I’ll still be working on it when I’m 90. We’re at a point in history where we absolutely have to take urgent measures to help people all over the world to feed themselves better and keep themselves healthy. So there’s one big campaign that is my focus now and for the foreseeable future. What environmental issues do you see as being pivotal to ensuring the continued availability of affordable healthy food around the world? I think one of the main issues is meat consumption. I’m a carnivore, but I’ve cut down considerably and now I probably only eat meat two or three times a week. I’ve ramped up my veggie meals in the last few years — it started with Meat Free Monday, and expanded from there — not only does it make me feel better, but also it’s better for the planet. A lot of studies have shown there is a “grocery gap” in urban centres with healthy food being more difficult to get in some neighbourhoods. What do you see as the biggest

barrier to healthy eating for urbanites? Yes, this is a real problem in cities, and it’s one of the many areas where I think governments and retailers can make a real difference in ensuring that customers on all budgets have access to fresh vegetables and fruit. In the U.K., one of our supermarkets started selling “wonky veg” — that’s perfectly good veg which would otherwise be thrown away before it gets to the shops because it’s not quite perfect — and that’s an exciting development. Until we make fresh ingredients more affordable and accessible, we’re not going to be able to properly solve our issues with diet-related disease. What will be your favourites on the menu at the new Jamie’s Italian? You’ve got to try our organic pork chop from Du Breton, a third generation family run business — it’s super-juicy and incredibly tasty! One of my alltime Jamie’s Italian favourites is the Turkey Milanese, made with oozy fontina cheese from the Val de Austa and San Daniele prosciutto. I’m also a big fan of the Super food salad— with a little bit of everything, from lentils, seeds and pops of pomegranate, to creamy avocado and a hit of harissa.

Safe-to-eat cookie dough Lovers of raw cookie dough, don’t despair. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently had to remind everyone to not indulge in this favourite unbaked treat after General Mills recalled 10 million pounds of flour containing a strain of E. coli, which gave dozens of people food poisoning. The uncooked eggs in cookie dough have always presented a risk of salmonella, although a low one thanks to pasteurization. Health Canada recommends against eating raw cookie dough for this reason. Now we’re told that eating uncooked flour can also lead to illness. This is because flour isn’t heat- or pressuretreated to kill bacteria during the production process. A quick online search for raw cookie dough recipes yields many eggless recipes but many contain raw flour. So as purveyors of everything delicious we feel the need to make a more updated cookie dough recipe that’s actually safe to eat. We took out the eggs and played with flour replacements. We settled on grinding rolled oats in a spice/coffee grinder to a fine powder; they have the most neutral flavour, and gave the dough a similar consistency to regular

Out of curiosity we took heaping teaspoons of the dough and baked them on a lined baking sheet for 15 minutes at 350F (175C); then let them cool to room temperature. The cookies turned out flat since there’s no leavening agent but they come out crispy and gooey, so if you like that it’s a two in one.

Star was ‘more engaged with life’ while reading audiobook One of Maggie Gyllenhaal’s favourite books is Anna Karenina. So when she was asked to read the classic novel out loud for an audiobook, she didn’t hesitate. “I thought, ‘This will be amazing. I’ll just sit in a room and re-read Anna Karenina out loud,”’ Gyllenhaal recalled. “I just loved the book so much I thought, ‘Yes, let’s try and do it.”’ Cold, hard reality set in after her first recording session. Leo Tolstoy’s masterpiece is over 1,000 pages and extremely complicated. “A sentence will begin in one place and end really somewhere else. I couldn’t cold read it. It just wasn’t possible,” said the star of Crazy Heart and The Dark Knight. So Gyllenhaal realized she’d have to do homework and put in long hours at the studio. The result is a moving and dramatic version, available Tuesday by audio seller and producer Audible Inc. “It was amazing. I learned things about myself from reading the book in the way that I think a lot of people learn things about themselves from reading the book, whether its aloud or to yourself. “And I learned different things about myself at 37 doing it than I learned when I was 25, which is also the mark of an amazing book.” Gyllenhaal recorded the book in lower Manhattan over the winter while her husband, Peter Sarsgaard, was filming a movie in Paris. The plan originally was for 10 six-hour sessions, but it turned into 30 four-hour sessions. She prepared for each one

Love it • Wireless smart phone charging • Toyota Safety Sense suite, which includes lane departure alert, pre-collision, and radar-enabled cruise control Leave it • This “standard” Prius is just a bit small for an active family and all their stuff. You can see why Toyota introduced the V version, to give bigger families more elbow-room.

As the first mass-produced hybrid, and going it alone for a good stretch, the Toyota Prius went on to become the face of hybrid-vehicle technology. Well, with the introduction of the new-generation version for model year 2016, the face is no longer the loveable and benign one we’ve come to expect from the Prius — not quite mean, but there is a definite smirk. But that is all in keeping with Toyota’s new plans for the Prius: to make it more engaging to drive and look at, and make it more appealing to a broader range of buyers — not just the crowd that lives for maximizing fuel economy — and has the spreadsheet and clipboard to prove it. Our Prius test vehicle was the top-shelf Touring model, which comes with a lithium ion battery pack. Base models come with a nickel-metal hydride battery (as did all previous-generation Prius models). Battery packs have been relocated to under the rear seats, which opens up more cargo room. The new Prius is based on a new platform, which is more low-slung than the previous one, and a lot stiffer and lighter, so

it feels great on the road. The 121 net horsepower is not going to enact enough G-forces to contort your face under acceleration and/or cornering, but the overall refinement level of the powerteam, combined with good torque from both power units, make it very satisfying. The cabin is still about broadcasting and enabling the hybrid experience, with lots of information disseminated on the drive train and real time fuel efficiency. But this time around, Toyota gave the Prius a bump up in interior aesthetics. Highlights include a wide, wrap-around instrument panel, and an available premium white ornamentation in the lower sections of the cabin, which is reminiscent of fine-bone china. The Prius has a special role within Toyota — to push the envelope on efficiency and low emission technologies, and then share this expertise with the others. And it continues to show the way with the new 2016 model, through such tech as: • S-flow air conditioning, which automatically focuses airflow only to areas where people are seated to save energy. • Electric motor-generators, transaxle, power control unit, and hybrid batteries that are all smaller, lighter and more efficient that their predecessors. • A 1.8-litre gas engine, which achieves a ground-breaking thermal efficiency of 40 per cent. Don’t worry if this doesn’t excite you, as it might with the boys on The Big Bang Theory. You just need to know that Toyota sweated the details, and you’ll notice.

Better, faster, stronger Porsche

New Panamera even speedier, more powerful

wheels roundup News driving the auto industry brought to you by AutoGuide.com

The new Porsche Panamera Turbo may have clocked a 7:38 Nurburgring lap time, but Porsche isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done yet. According toÂ Motor Trend, an even more powerful and faster Porsche Panamera is in the works, borrowing hybrid technology from the 918 Spyder. The German automaker did confirm at the 2017 Porsche Panameraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut that two hybrid modelsÂ are on the way, and one looks to pack around 700 horsepower. But before then, expect Porsche to add a more powerful Panamera Turbo S to the lineup, sporting around 580 hp. That also means the Porsche Panamera Turbo S will likely turn in an even faster Nurburgring time than the 7:38 from the Turbo model. Eventually, however, there will be a range-topping model to rule them all. It is being described toÂ Motor Trend as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;918 with a back seat,â&#x20AC;? by pairing the Panameraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with the 918â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hybrid technology.

All-Star Game. David Ortiz found himself in the middle of the most touching moment at Petco Park, embraced by his AL teammates near first base after exiting his

final All-Star Game. The popular Big Papi plans to retire at 40 after this season with Boston. Kris Bryant of the Cubs led the parade of sparkling young talent with a first-inning home run. Dellin Betances flashed his 100 m.p.h. heat and Astros reliever Will Harris came on to throw a called third strike past Cardinals rookie Aledmys Diaz on a 3-2 pitch on the outside corner with the bases loaded to end the eighth.

Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera pitched a hitless sixth for the AL, which will open the Series at home for the 11th time in 14 years since the all-star winner was used to determine the hosts for Games 1 and 2. Cleveland’s Corey Kluber pitched a 1-2-3 second inning for the win, and Zach Britton got the save for the AL, which cut its deficit to 43-42 with two ties Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez allowed two hits, a walk and a run in one inning of work in his first appearance at an All-Star Game.

PSYCHIC KRYSTAL

The Tenors say they are “deeply sorry” for a political statement made during the singing of O Canada on Tuesday night before the Major League Baseball all-star game in San Diego. During their on-field performance at Petco Park, a line in the anthem was changed to “We’re all brothers and sisters, all lives matter to the great.” The normal lyric is “With glowing hearts we see thee rise. The True North strong and free.” In a statement posted on Facebook, members of the British Columbia-based quartet blame the altered lyric on group member Remigio Pereira, saying he acted as a “lone wolf” who changed the anthem to “serve his own political views.” The statement says the other members of the group are “shocked and embarrassed” and are deeply sorry for what they call the “disrespectful and

misguided lack of judgment by one member of the group.” Pereira also held up a sign during the Canadian Remigio anthem saying Pereira Getty Images “All Lives Matter” while singing the altered lyrics. The words “United We Stand” were written on the back of the sign. Although the audio wasn’t crystal-clear at the park, many fans reacted with surprise. The Canadian anthem wasn’t shown live on U.S. television, but it aired in Canada, where the decision to change the words drew a whirlwind of criticism on social media. “The actions of one member of this group were extremely selfish and he will not be performing with The Tenors until further notice,” said the Facebook statement. The Canadian Press

IN BRIEF Home run spike not from PEDs, commissioner says With home runs up to a level not seen since the height of the Steroids Era, baseball commissioner Rob Manfred says he is not worried performance-enhancing drugs are a reason for the increase. There was an average of nearly 2.32 home runs per game before the all-star break, up from 1.90 in the first half of last year and the most before the break since 2.56 in 2000. “The increase in the number of home runs takes place against a very, very different backdrop ... where Major League Baseball does 22,000 drug tests a year,” Manfred said.

Shorter season would hurt players’ wallets: Manfred If baseball players want to shorten the schedule, management says they should accept a reduction in pay. Tired from travel in an era that frequently has quick turnarounds following overnight flights, players are seeking changes in collective bargaining. “If in fact we are going to go down those roads, those economic ramifications are going to have to be shared by all of the relevant parties,” baseball commissioner Rob Manfred told the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Tuesday. “You want to work less, usually you get paid less.”

Making moves up north From top draft picks to new coaches to big-time free agent signings, Canadian teams have been among the busiest in the NHL this off-season following the first spring without playoff hockey in Canada in 46 years. A progress report on the happenings so far:

Calgary Flames

Winnipeg Jets

Montreal Canadiens

Biggest Move: Traded for Brian Elliott After Glen Gulutzan was hired to replace Bob Hartley as head coach, Calgary took serious steps toward addressing its woeful goaltending. The club traded for new No. 1 Elliott and then signed Chad Johnson to be his backup. Beyond the crease, the Flames got a boost up front by signing veteran Troy Brouwer and added Matthew Tkachuk with the fifth overall pick at the draft.

Biggest Move: Drafted Patrik Laine with No. 2 overall pick The Jets were the surprise winner at the draft lottery, leaping past four teams and drafting Finnish highlight maker Laine with the second pick. Laine joins an impressive group of young talent that includes 23-yearold Mark Scheifele, who was inked for eight years last week, Nikolaj Ehlers, 20, and Kyle Connor, who led the NCAA with 71 points at the University of Michigan.

Biggest Move: Traded P.K. Subban for Shea Weber It was jarring to see Subban dealt for a player four years his senior and seemingly on the decline. Canadiens GM Marc Bergervin said he valued the experience and leadership Weber could bring to the club’s defence. Bergervin continued his bold summer by signing 30-year-old winger Alex Radulov for one season, and Al Montoya to back up Carey Price in goal.

Edmonton Oilers

GETTY IMAGES

Biggest Move: Traded Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson Edmonton GM Peter Chiarelli made no secret of his intention to find help on defence following a 10th straight season without playoff hockey. Chiarelli made that happen by sending former No. 1 overall pick Taylor Hall to New Jersey for 23-year-old Adam Larsson. It was an admittedly need-based (and risky) trade for the Oilers, who like Larsson’s upside as a top pairing defender. Edmonton also plunged deep into the free agent market and came up with heavy winger Milan Lucic on a seven-year deal worth $42 million US. Lucic was arguably the top available free agent on July 1 and adds a rough, if pricey, veteran edge up front. A quieter signing later in the day saw the Oilers add backup goaltender Jonas Gustavsson. Edmonton’s high-potential forward group has also gotten deeper. Finnish winger Jesse Puljujarvi was plucked with the fourth overall pick and Drake Caggiula, a Pickering Ont., native who led the University of North Dakota to a Frozen Four title, was signed to a two-year deal.

IN BRIEF Redblacks receiver earns 3rd straight weekly award Ottawa receiver Chris Williams has been named a CFL top performer for the third time in as many weeks, while Winnipeg cornerback Maurice Leggett and Edmonton slotback Adarius Bowman are also being recognized for their Week 3 performances. Though three games, Williams leads the league in receiving yards (493), receptions (25), and touchdowns (six). THE CANADIAN PRESS

Coyotes sign captain Doan for another year The Arizona Coyotes signed captain Shane Doan to a one-year contract with a base salary of $2.5 million on Tuesday. The total deal will be around $5 million with a deferred signing bonus and deferred incentives for the NHL’s longest-tenured captain. The 39-year-old Doan is coming off one of his best seasons, leading Arizona with 28 goals and finishing with 19 assists in 72 games. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pacquiao planning his return to the boxing ring Manny Pacquiao isn’t ready to give up his night job just yet. Pacquiao, who said before his last fight in April that he would retire, now plans to return to the ring Nov. 5 against an opponent who has yet to be selected. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Loew keeping Germany job Joachim Loew is staying on as Germany coach through the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The German soccer federation said Tuesday that Loew “clearly told” federation president Reinhard Grindel that he will fulfil his contract, which runs until 2018. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ottawa Senators

Toronto Maple Leafs

Vancouver Canucks

Biggest Move: Hired Guy Boucher as head coach The Sens made their biggest splash on May 8 when they hired Boucher to be the franchise’s fifth bench boss since 2008, replacing Dave Cameron. Ottawa, which picked huge American centre Logan Brown (six foot six, 208 pounds) with the No. 11 pick at the NHL draft, stayed relatively quiet on July 1. New GM Pierre Dorion still has to sign 26-year-old winger Mike Hoffman and 22-year-old defender Cody Ceci.

Biggest Move: Drafted Auston Matthews with No. 1 overall pick Matthews, a potential franchise centre, was one of 11 draft picks made by Toronto in Buffalo. The Leafs also landed their hopeful goalie of the future just before the draft, trading for Frederik Andersen before gambling on the 26-year-old with a five-year deal. Toronto later traded former No. 1 Jonathan Bernier to Anaheim and is now seeking a veteran backup for Andersen.

Biggest Move: Signed Loui Eriksson to a six-year deal GM Jim Benning struck out on acquiring Steven Stamkos and Subban, but on July 1 he inked Swedish winger Loui Eriksson to a $36-million contract. Vancouver, which lost longtime defender Dan Hamhuis to free agency, sought change on defence, trading 20-year-old centre Jared McCann for 24-year-old defenceman Erik Gudbranson. The club also locked up goaltender Jacob Markstrom and drafted defenceman Olli Juolevi.

He’s been the best teammate anyone can ever imagine. One of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich’s comments Tuesday on his retiring superstar, Tim Duncan
