Time to get tough on emissions, Mr. Tory GREENHOUSE GAS

Dozens of non-profits petition city to take real action More than three dozen nonprofits, unions, businesses and others are urging Mayor John Tory to fully adopt and implement city staff’s ambitious plan to slash Toronto’s greenhouse

gas emissions.

But some are wondering if Tory’s austerity-minded administration will endorse the spending of millions of dollars a year to help protect residents from extreme weather, including flooding and unusual heat, even with the promise of big benefits in terms of jobs and public health.

“The adoption of the TransformTO plan would send a clear signal to the Ontario and federal governments that Toronto is ready to receive and invest

climate action funds in ways that will reap maximum benefits,” states the letter sent to Tory and city councillors Friday by the Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA).

“It also acknowledges that we must take action now to ensure that we are leaving a modern, prosperous and healthy city for our children and grandchildren.”

Signatories include leaders of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, Building Owners and Managers Association of

Greater Toronto Area, CivicAction, CEE Centre for Young Black Professionals, Unifor, Ontario Clean Alliance, the director of the U of T’s School of the Environment and former mayor David Crombie.

The blueprint aims to get Toronto greenhouse gas emissions to 80 per cent below 1990 levels by the year 2050.

Torontonians would phase out fossil-fuel vehicles; live in denser, more walkable neighbourhoods with fewer single-family homes;

take more public transit; rely more heavily on solar power; and send 95 per cent less waste to landfill.

Franz Hartman, TEA’s executive director, said he hopes the letter shows Tory the plan has broad-based community support and needs to be funded when the 2018 budget is set early next year.

“That $6.7 million for next year is a drop in the bucket in terms of leveraging funds from other governments and

private investment, the more than $1.3-billion in total costs we saw from flooding and an ice storm in 2013, and the benefits we can realize in new jobs, better housing, more affordable lives and poverty reduction,” he said.

Tory’s office did not reply to a request for comment.

Symphony of musical diversity The Royal Conservatory of Music selected 12 bright talents originally hailing from as far as Iran, Burkina Faso and Peru and as close as Winnipeg to showcase multiculturalism as part of the Canada 150 celebrations.

Gilbert Ngabo

Metro | Toronto The Royal Conservatory of Music wants the world’s diversity to be reflected on stage. Its latest initiative, the New Canadian Global

Music Orchestra, is an attempt to do just that as the country celebrates the sesquicentennial.

“We’re trying to build an orchestra that sounds like Toronto, that sounds like Canada,” said the project’s executive director Mervon Mehta. The group is composed of a dozen musicians with

different cultural backgrounds, from Iran, Burkina Faso and Peru.

There’s someone from Winnipeg, too.

“We have incredible musicians from around the world living here, but the musical ensembles still seem to be fairly segregated,” he said. “People play

what they play, their traditions are their traditions, but there’s not a lot of cross-cultural things happening.”

The project pulled its members from a pool of more than 100 applicants from 47 countries, a testament to public interest in the cultural mashup. They’re

currently in residence at the conservatory as they gear up for their inaugural performance on June 2 at 8 p.m. at Koerner Hall before going on a national tour.

Mehta expects the challenge of blending these talents and instruments together will make it a distinctive audience experience.

“It’s like putting cultures in one big pot and stirring up the stew,” he said. “We don’t see homogeneity of cultures when we step into the subway or walk through the Eaton Centre. We see a multitude of cultures, and we’re trying to show how that looks like in a music scene.”

Toronto’s urban canopy provides relief from extreme heat and cleans the air. Torstar News Service

Students, staff worry about forestry future education

University may ‘change the structure’ of their faculty May Warren

Metro | Toronto As climate change makes urban forests more important than ever, students and staff at the University of Toronto’s faculty of forestry are worried about their future.

The university is considering changes to its academic structure, inspiring more than 300 supporters to sign a petition to save the faculty.

U of T vice-president and provost Cheryl Regehr said student demand for the forestry faculty hasn’t kept up with other programs. She explained that the school is looking for the “best

administrative structure� for the study of forest sciences, a subject covered by other disciplines throughout the university. “There’s a possibility that we will change the structure, but we don’t know what that change in structure will be,� Regehr added.

PhD student Eric Davies worries the review could result in shuttering the faculty at a time when faculties at schools such as Harvard and Yale are expanding.

Davies studies urban forestry, something he says more and more students are interested in.

City dwellers are finally recognizing the value of urban forests in “making cities more liveable and workable.�

With climate change making extreme weather like heat waves and flooding the new normal, we need experts in “green resilience� more than ever, he argues.

Davies added that programs such as the Toronto Ravine Strategy benefit from the academics, students and research in the faculty, one of only eight in Canada.

It would be not only a loss for the forest but also a loss for the people.

Eric Davies

Sean Thomas, a professor in the faculty of forestry, said the number of students and the student-to-faculty ratio have actually gone up over the past 15 years and that the job market is “extremely good� for graduates.

While the proliferation of passionate “citizen scientists� is an encouraging trend, Thomas said, the skills, expertise and broader perspectives taught in the faculty are essential to protecting the urban canopy. “You wouldn’t want to have citizen dentists. So if you really value forests, including urban forests, you want to have professional programs,� he added.

Toronto Digest Report calls for expanding protection for workers All Ontario workers should receive equal pay for equal work, regardless of their full-time, parttime or temporary status, according to a landmark report that’s the blueprint for upcoming labour reforms.

The Changing Wrkplaces Review, commissioned by the Ministry of Labour, makes 173 recommendations to improve the lot of Ontario employees.

ttc a vintage ride There’s a hulking heap of nostalgia rumbling along Toronto’s waterfront this summer. The TTC is reviving its vintage maroon-and-cream streetcars on Queen’s Quay W. every Sunday from Victoria Day to Labour Day, and the rides are free.

For nearly six decades, these Presidents’ Conference Committee streetcars carried countless Torontonians around the city. “We grew up on these kinds of cars,” said Les Crockett, who started riding the TTC in the 1930s.

Campbell to ask council to withhold grant from Pride A Toronto councillor plans to ask colleagues to “suspend” a $260,000 grant for Pride Toronto’s annual parade, despite pleas for time to find consensus in a dispute over police participation.

Coun. John Campbell said Monday he will ask council this week to withhold the grant unless Pride “reaffirms its core value of inclusivity” by scrapping a request for limits on marching officers.

Simplify your park experience cartography

Pin yourself on TrinityBellwoods interactive map David Hains

Metro | Toronto You’ll never have to spend 20 minutes trying to find your friend in Trinity-Bellwoods Park again.

New York-based cartographer (and former Toronto Star employee) William Davis loves Toronto, and so he knows this is one of the city’s great summer frustrations. It’s because of the popular but geographically complex park that he and fellow cartographer Tom Weatherburn made an interactive map that lets Torontonians share their location.

All users need to do is drag and drop a “here” pin on the map. The tool can be accessed

for free at the MapTO website, a personal project with Weatherburn that features quirky maps on a variety of subjects.

The Trinity-Bellwoods map is overlaid with easy-to-read icons, including a dog at the dog bowl, a baseball at the baseball diamond and beer mugs where people like to hang out.

Davis was inspired by a popular 2011 map that displays Trinity-Bellwoods in a Battleship-style grid so you can find your friend in, for instance, C6.

But Davis explains that their map has some advantages.

“It’s another level of precision,” he said. Their map is also zoomable and mobile-friendly so that no one gets lost when picnicking.

The Toronto police officer charged with breach of trust in connection with a High Park suicide last year is alleged to have refused to help a citizen attempting to enlist him to stop a young man from taking his own life.

Instead, according to Toronto police documents filed at the force’s disciplinary tribunal, Const. Kyle Upjohn falsely claimed to be on another call, instructed the citizen to call 911, then drove away without informing the police communications operator of a report of an ongoing suicide attempt in the park.

The allegations shed new light on an incident first revealed last year when Ontario’s police watchdog, the Special Investiga-

Const. Kyle Upjohn.

Facebook/Ashley Upjohn

tions Unit (SIU) announced criminal charges against Const. Kyle Upjohn in connection with the suicide of 19-year-old Alexandre Boucher on Feb. 2, 2016.

The allegations are outlined in a Toronto police tribunal document, called a notice of hearing, which summarizes the Toronto police rationale for charging Upjohn with misconduct under the Police Services Act. None of the allegations have been tested at the Toronto po-

lice tribunal.

Upjohn was initially charged with criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide the necessaries of life, but those charges were withdrawn late last year at the request of the Crown prosecutor.

Gary Clewley, Upjohn’s lawyer, said shortly after the charges were withdrawn that his client never should have faced them in the first place, telling reporters outside court that “there was no evidence that the conduct alleged against the officer had anything to do with the death.”

However, Upjohn still faces one count of criminal breach of trust, a charge laid by the SIU two months after the officer was first charged in connection with the incident.

Upjohn faces three counts of professional misconduct in connection with the incident, including neglect of duty and acting in a disorderly manner.

Upjohn is currently suspended with pay from the Toronto Police Service.

AI program for Go outsmarts champion Alberta

AlphaGo takes on board game’s top player Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton University of Alberta alumni helped develop a computer program that’s poised to outsmart humanity.

Named AlphaGo, the program is in China this week taking on the world’s top human player of Go — an ancient Chinese board game said to be the most complicated in existence — and it’s winning.

“If you had been asking me a few years ago, how long before we see a computer program strong enough to beat the best human at Go, I was thinking it would be not in my lifetime,” said Ryan Hayward, a professor

Ryan Hayward was involved with an AI program that defeated the world’s best Go player. Kevin Tuong/For Metro

in the U of A’s computing science program.

“It came out of nowhere, was a huge step forward in artificial intelligence. And now it’s stronger than the strongest human.”

AlphaGo is taking on 19-yearold world champion Ke Jie in a three-game match that spans five days this week, and it won the first game handily on Tuesday.

The software was developed in London by Google’s DeepMind,

in part by U of A alumni David Silver and Aja Huang, who both studied with Hayward.

Hayward has little doubt the program will pull off the final two games, which can last several hours.

“AlphaGo was not sweating at all,” Hayward said. “I mean I know that computers don’t sweat, but it was very, very comfortable.”

Chinese authorities are less

excited about the prospect of their homegrown champ getting trounced by a computer program, however — Hayward said China has blocked live streams of the match within its borders and blocked physical access from some people viewing the match.

“I’m thinking that If Ke Jie were winning then they would be live streaming it. But because he’s not winning, they don’t want to publicize that a foreign-developed AI is better than the best Chinese Go player,” Hayward said.

The U of A has had a worldrenowned artificial intelligence program for decades.

Researchers at the university developed the first computer program to defeat the world’s top checkers players, and the U of A was also involved with the software that dominated humans at chess. Hayward said Go is the final frontier of board games, but the development has broader, more practical applications, from airline scheduling to routing online purchases.

“A teacher asked ‘What about support for teachers?’” Carabine recalled.

Carabine said the alliance is definitely the first in Alberta, and likely in Canada. He’s aware of one other that was established in Nova Scotia after Edmonton’s.

“They’ve been in the lobster industry for quite some time,” RCMP Supt. Martin Marin said.

The RCMP looked into allegations that a lobster company in Clark’s Harbour had been defrauded of over $500,000 in 2014-15. Marin said the three have substantial reach and influence on the local, national and international seafood markets.

“It’s a multimillion-dollar industry,” he said. “And where there’s opportunity, there’s also crimes of opportunity,” he said.

8-year-old among the dead in concert blast Manchester attack

Many parents still waiting to hear from their children Names of the victims are beginning to emerge in Monday night’s deadly bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.

For a crowd of mostly young British music fans, the concert was supposed to be a school night out enjoying cheerful high-energy pop. It quickly turned into sheer terror.

A suicide bomber detonated a powerful explosive device moments after the American singer wrapped up her show Monday night in Manchester, sending people into a desperate search for missing family and friends.

The blast killed 22 people and wounded 59 others, with 12 of the wounded under the age of 16, officials said.

Young concert goers fled the scene of the attack, some still wearing the American pop star’s

trademark kitten ears and holding pink balloons.

One of the victims has been identified as eight-year-old Saffie Rose Roussos, a “beautiful little girl” who was taken to the concert by her mother Saffie was remembered fondly by Chris Upton, the head teacher at Tarleton Community Primary School.

“Saffie was simply a beautiful little girl in every aspect of the word,” Upton told The Guardian. “She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly.”

Another victim is 18-year-old Georgina Callander, who studied health and social care at Runshaw College in Lancashire.

The school released a statement on Facebook saying, “Our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to all of Georgina’s friends, family, and all of those affected by this loss.”

Callander had posted a photo on Instagram of herself with Grande, which was taken backstage at a concert two years ago.

A crowd-funding page has been set up to help with Callander’s funeral costs.

Charlotte Campbell was among the parents still looking for their children. She told BBC Radio 4’s Today program that her 15-year-old daughter, Olivia, was still missing.

She said she had spoken to her at the concert. “She’d just seen the support act and said she was having an amazing time, and thanking me for letting her go,” she said.

“I’m at home phoning everybody: hospitals, police, the centres that the children have been put in,” Campbell said. “Her dad’s in Manchester looking for her.

I’ve got friends looking for her.

I’ve got people I don’t even know looking for her ... And I’m just hearing nothing. Her phone’s dead.”

Concert goer Abbey Mullen shared her thoughts of the horror on Twitter, saying the bomb exploded just a few metres from her.

“That sound, The blood + those who were running around clueless with body parts + bits of skin missing will not be leaving my mind any time soon or the minds of those involved,” Mullen wrote.

U.K. terror level raised to critical Marawi as hunt for accomplices continues under Philippines

As officials hunted for accomplices of a suicide bomber and Britain’s prime minister warned another attack could be “imminent,” thousands of people poured into the streets of Manchester in a defiant vigil Tuesday for victims of a blast at a pop concert - the latest apparent target of Islamic extremists seeking to rattle life in the West.

The attack left at least 22 dead, including an 8-year-old girl, shattering the revelry at a show by American singer Ariana Grande, where strains of electric pop and the sways of innocent young fans quickly gave way to an explosion, a flood of screams and a stampede of panicked concert-goers, Above: Georgina Callander and Ariana Grande in 2015.

Callander and Roussos were the first victims to be identified in an attack at Manchester Arena, which left 22 people dead on Monday.

many clutching pink balloons and wearing the kitten-ear headbands popularized by Grande.

Touching on that disconnect, British Prime Minister Theresa May said: “We struggle to comprehend the warped and twisted mind that sees a room packed with young children not as a scene to cherish but as an opportunity for carnage.”

May said Britain’s terror threat level had been raised to critical — meaning another attack may be imminent. The status means armed soldiers could be deployed instead of police at public events including sports matches. The threat level had been at the second-highest rung

of “severe” for several years.

Daesh claimed responsibility for the blood bath Monday, though a top American intelligence official said the assertion could not be verified. Manchester Police Chief Ian Hopkins identified the bomber as 22-year-old Salman Abedi, who authorities said died in the attack. Police raided two sites in the northern English city, setting off a controlled explosion in one, and arresting a 23-year-old man in a third location.

May said Abedi was born and raised in Britain and a European security official said he was of Libyan descent.

Elsewhere in the country, Winnipeg’s MTS Centre will have a bomb-sniffing dog on site for Friday’s Red Hot Chili Peppers show, bolstering other classified security measures.

The Scotiabank Centre in Halifax promises heightened security and police presence for its I Love The 90s tour event on Wednesday, featuring Salt-N-Pepa.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte declared the country’s south under martial rule for 60 days and cut short a visit to Moscow on Tuesday after Muslim extremists allied with Daesh laid siege to a southern city.

Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said troops raided the hideout of a top terrorist suspect in southern Marawi city on Tuesday, sparking a gunbattle that prompted the militants to call for reinforcements from an allied group, the Maute. He said dozens of gunmen occupied city hall, a hospital and a jail and burned a Catholic church, a jail, a college and some houses in a bold attack that killed at least two soldiers and a police officer and wounded 12 others.

“The whole of Marawi city is blacked out, there is no light, and there are Maute snipers all around,” Lorenzana said in Moscow. Duterte’s martial law declaration will help government forces carry out searches and arrests and detain rebel suspects quickly, Lorenzana said.

JESSICA ALLEN On hot black coffee for a new age

VICKY MOCHAMA

Food wasn’t just a detail in the Appropriation prize flap a original Twin Peaks. It was central to the show’s humour — chance to listen and learn something the reboot may have forgotten — and in grounding the characters in a normal world.

Everyone is talking about how strange the new Twin Peaks is. Critics are saying television hasn’t been this odd since, well, the original Twin Peaks aired back in 1990.

No surprise there. Welcome back to the weird and wonderful mind of David Lynch.

But two things struck me while watching the first four episodes of the 18-part continuation. First, where are the coffee, cherry pie and jellyfilled doughnuts? And second, who would have thought that coffee and doughnuts would have morphed into a world of almost unfathomable oddity?

“Coffee culture,” which beyond being a way of life is also the actual name of a franchise, happened so gradually that we didn’t even know it.

It’s been 25 years since FBI Agent Dale Cooper tells Sheriff Truman in the first season of Twin Peaks that “every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen.

It could be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair or two cups of good hot black coffee.”

The new series allows us to examine the change from a cup of simple diner coffee to unicorn frappuccinos with Rip Van Winkle-like wonderment.

By way of introduction may I remind you of the Cronut?

Imitators were so abundant that the doughnut-meets-croissant creators registered Cronut in 2013 with the U.S. patent and trademark office. I doubt

The new series allows us to examine the change from a cup of simple diner coffee to unicorn frappuccinos with wonderment.

prototypical pie Twin Peaks ushered in a Golden Era of food-centric television shows, including Seinfeld, The Sopranos and Gilmore Girls, writes Jessica Allen. the associated press

even the Log Lady could’ve predicted that, not to mention $6 cups of cold brew, gourmet matcha green tea doughnuts — even gluten-free doughnuts, a metaphysical feat only achievable in the extra dimensional Black Lodge.

Food was omnipresent in many of the so-called Golden Age of Television series that arguably started with Twin Peaks. The diner in Seinfeld is as much a character as the woods are in Twin Peaks. And I dream of scoring a coveted reservation at Cicely’s secret Italian restaurant in Northern Exposure. Then there’s The Sopranos and Carmela’s baked ziti and the pork sandwiches from Satriale’s that even the FBI agents following Tony couldn’t resist. Junk food and jumbo coffees were basically members of the family on Gilmore Girls.

But food wasn’t just a detail in the original Twin Peaks. It was central to the show’s humour — something the reboot may have forgotten to drag with it into the future — and in grounding the characters in a normal world. Sure, there

was a lady who got messages from her log but somewhere there was coffee and doughnuts and cherry pie. (Riverdale may have made notes from Twin Peaks’ playbook: the mood is certainly darker for Archie and his friends but there are still milk shakes to be had at the Chok’lit Shoppe.)

If coffee and doughnuts were the bench mark for the norm that let Twin Peaks’ wilder flights of fancy soar, it should come as no surprise that in a world of $75 “cat poop” coffee — made from beans partially digested by cats — the show’s universe now isn’t just weird. It is almost beyond comprehension.

I lied: coffee has made an appearance in the new Twin Peaks, in the form of two lattes in the first episode, and again, in the last few minutes of episode four — the most heart-palpitating yet of the series — when, spoiler alert, Dale Cooper (at least, we think it’s Dale Cooper) sips on a hot cup of black coffee. It may have taken four hours of red curtains and epic expanses of metaphysical space but with

that single sip, there’s the potential of a cliffhanger to rival the greatest soaps.

Meanwhile, in Twin Peaks, Deputy Chief “Hawk” is opening the old case file on Laura Palmer. There on the table beside him is a pink box of doughnuts. Straining a little, you can see the logo of the Double R diner, which was absent in the original series.

Despite the audience wondering if Norma was forced to use a brand consultant, Truman’s cellphone and Ben Horn’s weed-infused comestibles, not a lot seems to have changed in the north-west logging town.

So we are hooked again, brought into a mind-altering reality through the basic power of a black cup of coffee and doughnuts. The Tim Hortons execs who are trying to figure out how to massproduce lattes should take note, before the real world surpasses the new Twin Peaks in its oddity.

Two weeks ago, I watched several powerful people gleefully line up to throw money at the opportunity to refuse to hear criticism.

The so-called appropriation prize and the ensuing fallout at major media organizations are not about free speech.

This is about who gets to speak and who should be thankful for being allowed to exist.

At times, Indigenous issues overlap with my ill-attendedto specialities: race, gender, and politics. To be sure, it’s a wide umbrella, but it doesn’t always cover everything.

On those occasions, I read, listen and learn.

In the aftermath of the Joseph Boyden controversy, I read Indigenous writers who, with compassion and fury, asked for transparency.

After the human rights tribunal concluded Canada discriminated against Indigenous children, I read the rulings and listened to Cindy Blackstock’s fierce advocacy.

I listen to podcasts from Media Indigena and Indian and Cowboy.

Slowly but surely, I’m working through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report. It’s a harrowing read, but essential.

I say this not to selfcongratulate, but to say that I am still in the shallow end. Every new piece of information leads to more questions, which leads to answers that only ask more questions. Until I can swim in the deep end with Indigenous people, I’m going to do my

best to stay in my lane.

And that’s what the appropriation prize organizers and their friends and supporters need to do.

Because in a short period of time, they revealed the things we — Indigenous, Black, racialized people — suspected to be true: That for them, our cultures, like ourselves, can be put up for auction. That our histories, our pains, our joys (if we’re allowed that), our style — the things that make us strong and unique — are available to most ambitious imitators.

There have been consequences: a resignation, a demotion, and some apologies. But there are still more non-Indigenous people defining terms of a conversation they’re not equipped to have.

For us, it’s a time for listening and for learning. For progress and reconciliation to work, speaking up cannot mean speaking over.

In Indigenous Writes, a friendly and righteous raft for these waters, Chelsea Vowel says, “What we cannot do is pretend the subject matter is anything but difficult. Sometimes, we will simply have to agree to disagree.” Still, she insists that it can be done: “We begin that process by understanding the fundamental issues.”

The most consistent voices asking for explanation, accountability and apology were Indigenous writers and creators.

Simply, they are the voices to listen to.

Attacks such as the deadly bombing that killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England were a “real fear” that was “discussed frequently” while touring in Europe, Canadian rap star Drake said Tuesday.

In a post on Instagram, the Toronto-raised rapper said he was “crushed today to hear it became a reality.

“My condolences to all of the families affected and we will be praying for all of Manchester.

Also, I am praying on peace of mind for Ariana,” he wrote.

Monday’s explosion sparked a stampede of young concertgoers, some still wearing Grande’s trademark kitten ears and holding pink balloons. Authorities said an eight-year-old girl was among the dead.

Drake was one of several Canadian stars with teenage followings who voiced sympathy and solidarity Tuesday for those affected by the attack.

Teen idol Shawn Mendes, pop singers Justin Bieber, and Alessia Cara as well as YouTube star Lilly Singh all took to Twitter with messages of support.

“This is yet another attack on culture, youth and joyfulness, on our freedom, generosity and tolerance, all things that the Festival and those who make it possible — the artists, professionals and spectators — hold dear.”

Mendes, who is scheduled to play in Paris on Wednesday, described himself as “completely heartbroken.”

“I am truly so sorry about what has happened in Manchester tonight. Unthinkable events. All my love to the families affected,” he said.

“I love you so much guys.

This isn’t what music is about.

I am so so sorry.”

Cara helped circulate an online list of those still missing after Monday’s show, adding “my heart is with u, Manchester.”

Gossip Digest so much moore to roger than bond Moore had prouder achievements than 007 Sir Roger Moore saw that there was more to life than a well-mixed martini. Moore, who died Tuesday at age 89, didn’t seem to take Bond that seriously even while playing him. Burdened with following Sean Connery as Agent 007, Moore kept it light, using a wry, amused tone and perpetually-arched eyebrow as if he had landed on the set by accident. But the handsome, dark-haired actor had a long, full life both before and after his debut as Bond in 1973. He was remembered warmly by fans of the popular U.S. 1950s-60s TV series Maverick as Beauregarde Maverick, and also starred in the 1959 U.S. series The Alaskans. In England, he had a long-running TV hit with The Saint, playing Simon Templar, the enigmatic action hero who helps put wealthy crooks in jail while absconding with their fortunes.

Lagerita Mix the juice of one lime with a couple of tablespoons of simple syrup or agave. Pour into an icefilled beer glass rimmed with sugar or a sugar-salt combo and fill with lager of choice. If you want a boozy version, add a splash of tequila.

Blood orange shandy Mix blood orange soda (San Pellegrino is easiest to find) with an equal amount of beer – full-bodied or hoppy varieties work particularly well. Add in the juice of a blood orange some zest: Summer in a glass.

sommelier and beverage writer who runs craft beer tasting events with the Beer Sisters in Toronto.

But, “people want to be able to...have a few on the patio and not feel too tipsy in the heat,” Luxmore said – hence the explosion in the popularity of lighter drinks with less than five per cent alcohol by volume.

Cider sales have been surging since 2014. The lightly alcoholic Aperol spritz was so popular last summer that importers had trouble keeping it on store shelves.

And the beverage known as a radler in Germany and a shandy in the British Isles – essentially equal parts beer and some kind of non-alcoholic fruit drink such as pop, juice, or lemonade – has been on the rise in Canada for about seven years, Luxmore said. But they’ve really exploded in recent summers as both giants like Molson and Canadian craft breweries have increased their offerings, she added.

It’s all part of the trend away from super-sweet, highlighterhued coolers.

“We’re more health conscious, even what comes into alcohol. Beer is a natural product. Combining that with real juice or fresh zested fruit seems healthier for us than a glucosefructose-laden alco-pop.”

Luxmore said she has seen breweries increasingly experimenting with beers that have fruit smashed directly in, zest and all, resulting in bolderflavoured tipples that are still fairly low in alcohol.

She also expects to see a continued rise in full-strength beers sweetened with natural fruit – blueberry lager, watermelon wheat beer, and hoppy IPAs, mixed with tropical fruits.

Demographics has something to do with it: One of the only groups of Canadians whose alcohol consumption is increasing is younger women.

Traditionally, radlers and ciders are considered “fruity and girly,” and concoctions like the Bud Light Lime-A-Rita are clearly marketed at women, Luxmore said.

But, “the way a craft brewery does a radler – citrusy, dry, not too sweet – appeals to men and women,” she said. “Increasingly, it’s not a lady thing to drink fruit beer.”

ROSE REISMAN THE SAVVY EATER THIS WEEK: Plain vs. sweetened Greek yogurt

When choosing a Greek yogurt, be sure to skip those with added sugar.

HERE’S WHY Equivalent in sugar to 2 Honey Dip Doughnuts from Tim Hortons These days, the yogurt aisle can be beyond overwhelming. While you may know to go for the Greek yogurt, as it has twice the protein as regular yogurt, there are still so many choices of Greek yogurt, not all nutritionally equal. If you choose the flavoured route, as with a strawberry yogurt, you’re still adding unnecessary sugar to the fruit. Stick to the plain Greek yogurt, which has more protein and is also lower in calories and sugar. Get some natural sweetness by adding fresh fruits.

the checklist | 2017 Lexus IS 300 AWD THE BASICS Engine: 3.5-liter V6 Output: 255 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque Transmission: 6-speed automatic Fuel Economy (L/100 km): 12.6 city, 9.2 hwy, 11.0 combined Price: Starts at $42,950, $49,650 as-tested

LOVE IT • Unique design • Smooth power train • Balanced driving feel LEAVE IT • Detuned engine is a dud • Poor fuel economy • Infotainment system

Lexus is playing catch up in the sport sedan segment and one way it’s trying to compete is by introducing new trim levels in its popular IS series.

For many, the base IS 200t is a great choice, but it’s only available with rear-wheel drive.

While the range-topping IS 350 drives all four wheels, it’s expensive and fuel thirsty. To try to alleviate this issue, Lexus has introduced the IS 300 AWD, a model in the middle of the lineup that can only be had with all-wheel drive.

While the four-cylinder turbocharged Lexus IS 200t starts at $42,195, the IS 300 AWD comes in at $44,995, commanding a $2,800 premium for two extra drive wheels and cylinders. It sounds like a good deal, at first.

The IS 300 AWD has 14 ponies over its smaller displacement, turbocharged brother, but is down 22 lb-ft of torque.

The lack of twist is noticeable and the IS 300 AWD feels slow and pokey to get going. And it seems much less powerful and torquey than the range-topping IS 350, which has 50 more hp and 40 more lb-ft of torque.

There’s also no benefit at the pumps for getting the IS

300 AWD over the IS 350 AWD, which starts at $55,395. If buyers thought they would get some fuel savings by opting for the less powerful V6, they should think otherwise and consider the much more fuel efficient IS 200t.

The engine does, however, provide smooth and linear acceleration and doesn’t impact the solid driving dynamics of the car. Steering is good, which is to say it’s well-weighted and responsive. Even the steering wheel itself is nice and chunky, with lots to hold onto and a progressive steering feel with none of the weirdness you get from variable ratio racks.

The chassis is also pretty good, meaning that the car reacts to direction changes well, but without the harshness that comes from cars trying to be too sporty. It’s best described as smooth and obedient. The suspension in particular is really balanced between soft and stiff.

It’s worth talking about the polarizing interior of the car.

With plenty of odd angles inside the cabin, it’s definitely not the most user-friendly, with bizarrely placed vent openings and an infotainment screen that’s far and deep into the dashboard.

The infotainment system has to be one of the worst designs available on the market, thanks to an imprecise and hyperactive mouse-like controller, it’s a pain to select items on the screen. It makes it extremely frustrating to control the navigation or make calls while driving and requires too much attention.

It’s hard to recommend this over the two other models in the lineup.

COOLEST STOCK HOODS on the market They’re not as flashy as big spoilers or gullwing doors, but not all hoods have to be boring. Hoods serve the utilitarian purpose of protecting the engine bay, but some automakers use functional scoops and vents to make their hoods cool — and keep the engine bay even cooler. Others get fancy on how their hoods open, / . while some just have a real flashy design.

all photos handout

jason siu autoguide com

Jaguar F-Type Dodge Challenger SRT Demon The top spot on the list goes to the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Dodge says the Demon has “the largest functional ‘air grabber’ cold air intake hood ever installed on a production vehicle, measuring more than 45 square inches.” Combined with the two “air catcher” headlamps, the automaker says the Demon’s air intake temperatures are up to 30 degrees cooler than the regular Hellcat.

The Jaguar F-Type isn’t a Plain Jane luxury sports coupe. The British automaker gave it a fancy front-hinged hood. There’s also a pair of vents to give the F-Type some breathing room, which aren’t a necessity for the turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but are welcomed on the rangetopping SVR model powered by a 5.0-litre supercharged V8.

Subaru WRX Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta STI

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE

Technically speaking, under the hood of the Ferrari LaFerrari is its trunk because the engine is located at the rear of the car. But that didn’t stop the Italian automaker from outfitting the compartment with a pair of cooling fans for the front rads. Space is limited, but the stylish hood and vents give it so much appeal.

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE is a track-focused model featuring special aero components, adjustable suspension and exclusive tires. More subtle than some of the other designs, it’s sleek and stylish on this coupe.

The same style hood is on the standard ZL1 but we love the black treatment it got for the 1LE.

The WRX STI’s hood does more than just give the sports sedan a more aggressive appearance: It helps keep the turbocharged four-cylinder engine nice and cool, making sure performance is always up to par. It has also become a trademark feature of the car’s design, having been present for many generations.

explained

New categories mostly jargon Sami Haj-Assaad

AutoGuide.com Automakers have become very creative with how they classify cars. It used to be simple: sedan, wagon, truck, SUV, hatchback or coupe, but now there are all kinds of strange terms for vehicle segments.

A few terms are rising in popularity: sportback, four-door coupe and shooting brake. Buick recently called its upcoming Regal a sportback, while Mercedes calls the CLS and CLA “coupes” even though they have four doors. What does it mean?

Sportback The new Buick Regal is called a sportback, as is the Audi A7 and Porsche Panamera. What do these cars have in common?

They all have a sloping roofline and truncated rear end. But that’s not all it takes to describe a sportback, since that’s also what makes a fastback (which is a coupe). Sportbacks also have roof-mounted trunks.

While wagons and hatchbacks also typically feature the roof-mounted trunk or liftgate, the term has become tarnished over the years, at least in the eyes of premium automakers.

The word “wagon” brings up

What new word is Porsche calling its Panamera hatchback? handout

memories of wood-panelled stations wagons, while “hatchback” calls to mind a pedestrian compact car, like a Toyota Matrix. Sportback sounds edgy and cool.

Four-door coupe Many cars with a sloping roofline are also called “four-door coupes,” which is confusing. A coupe is supposed to have two doors, but the Mercedes CLA and CLS are called coupes despite having four. The difference here is how the trunk opens, which in four-door coupes is a more like a traditional trunk, meaning the rear glass does not open with it.

Four-door coupes tend to have another element in common with regular two-door coupes:

Most don’t have window frames, giving them a sleeker look.

Shooting brake Commonly used to describe European wagons, it comes with a short history lesson. Back in the day, English hunting parties used to carry their gear in a practically sized vehicle, that’s transferred to the modern automobile as a shooting brake.

These cars are always wagons, although the number of doors can vary. Ferrari calls the FF a shooting brake and it has two doors, while the folks at Jaguar describe the wagon variant of the XF a shooting brake. Mercedes further confuses things by calling its CLS wagon variant (which isn’t sold in North America) a shooting brake.

Volvo x Google Volvo has announced a new partnership with Google that will result in new in-car infotainment and connectivity for its cars. The Android-based system will launch in Volvo vehicles within two years.

Making this move will allow Volvo to tap into an already large ecosystem of apps and programs that Android users currently enjoy. stephen elmer/autoguide.com

GM has made an industry-first commitment to sourcing sustainable natural rubber in its tires.

General Motors is hoping the move will help drive the industry toward net-zero deforestation while upholding human and labour rights. The American automaker believes sourcing tires produced using sustainable natural rubber has benefits for business as well as the environment. It is working with major tire manufacturers including Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin to develop transparency so it can ensure its traceability throughout the supply chain.

The NFL — often playfully referred to as the No Fun League — has decided to loosen up its rules regarding touchdown celebrations

Warriors have big picture in mind NBA playoffs

Golden State will make third straight Finals appearance Kevin Durant does not need to be told that Golden State should have a muted celebration after winning the Western Conference final.

Durant is fully aware a tough challenge awaits. It’s why Durant signed with the Warriors and why Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green embraced him at the expense of their own stats.

“We have a bigger goal in

mind,” Durant said.

Golden State has a chance to earn their second championship in three years after sweeping the San Antonio Spurs with a 129-115 victory Monday night.

The Warriors became the first team in league history to open the playoffs 12-0, which provides them with a week of rest prior to their third straight NBA Finals appearance.

Golden State will host Game 1 of the championship series on June 1 against either Cleveland or Boston. The Cavaliers took a 2-1 lead into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference final Tuesday, but Curry alluded the Warriors are expecting a rematch with LeBron James and company.

“We all know, obviously, who

we’re going to play,” Curry said.

“We’ll be watching the Eastern Conference final to see how that unfolds. But it will be easy to start this new chapter and really just lock in on what’s in front of us.”

Facing Cleveland will resurrect chatter of Golden State’s collapse in last season’s Finals, which saw the Cavaliers rally from a 3-1 deficit to win the franchise’s first championship.

“This year is a totally different year, different group, different journey,” Curry said.

The Warriors have shown their strength by blasting through the playoffs in the normally rugged West. Golden State is shooting 50 per cent from the field while averaging 118.3 points.

Tangy Avocado Chicken Salad Sandwich photo: Maya Visnyei

Ceri Marsh & Laura Keogh

For Metro Canada There is no end to the creaminess an avocado can give most any recipe and this tangy chicken salad is no exception.

Ready in 15 minutes Prep time: 10 minutes Makes: 4 to 6 sandwiches Ingredients • 1 avocado, • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice •1 tsp fresh cilantro, chopped • 1/4 cup mayonnaise • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt • pinch of salt and pepper • 4 pitas or 6 mini pitas • 2 cups cooked chicken, cubed

Directions 1. Slice open your avocado, carefully remove the pit and then use a small, sharp knife to score the flesh. Now use a small spoon to scoop out those avocado cubes.

2. In a large bowl, mix all your ingredients (expect the pitas) together. Be gentle so the avocado keeps some of its shape. Taste for seasoning. If you’ve got time to cover the salad for half an hour the flavours will deepen.
