Searching for sustainability? You’ll be going in circles
Energy-efficient homes have become the norm and in the pursuit of sustainability home owners and designers are re-turning to a more traditional type — the round home.
But what many residents of circular houses have found is there are also spiritual and emotional benefits to the shape.
Rebecca Christofferson, clinical counsellor and art therapist, lives in Vancouver Is-land’s Cowichan Valley and had intended on building a round cob home on her property. But when she realized there was an existing home on the lot she decided to erect a yurt to serve as a guest bedroom, workshop and spiritual healing space.
“A big part of why I decided to build a yurt was the circu-lar space,” said Christofferson. “The imagery of the nomadic was significant as well, and you don’t need to have it permitted so there is a real freedom with that.”
Yurts are portable homes traditionally used by nomads in Central Asia made of wooden ribs and layers of fabric and sheep’s wool felt for insulation and weatherproofing.
“People who have spent time in our yurt have said the world sort of shuts out,” said Christofferson. “It just feels like a huge blanket on the space; it is womb-like. The world slows down and it is energetically quieter.”
While some people have chosen yurts for their tempor-ary qualities, designers like Lars Chose have channelled the spiritual qualities he’s identi-fied in round homes into the structures he creates with his company Mandala Custom Homes.
Chose had been design-ing and building homes for 20 years on the side while work-ing as a psychotherapist, but it wasn’t until 1995 that he built his first round house.
“I saw where the world was going with the environment and the work I was doing with children and families,” he said. “It came to me one day that I needed to be part of the change
that needed to happen in a much stronger way.
“I had been studying how homes take half our resources to build and half our resources to cool and keep warm, and I decided to start a company and use the round (shape) as a way to express both an environ-mentally friendly and a healthy home.”
As a practising Buddhist, Chose said the shape connect-ed well with the word mandala, which has significance to the religion. According to Chose, mandala means the intercon-nected whole.
Even though the round spaces created by yurts and de-signers like Chose create vari-ous spiritual connections, other companies like North Caro-lina’s Deltec Homes got into circular construction for more practical reasons.
The Asheville company began in 1968 supplying build-ings to the resort industry.
Joseph Schlenk, director of marketing and sales, said their clients were coming to them wanting a structure that could be durable, energy efficient,
easy to build and take advan-tage of outstanding views.
“The original Deltec struc-ture was an A-frame,” said Schlenk. “We learned very quickly that was not energy ef-ficient or durable, and in that same year we developed the polygonal structure, the pre-decessor to the Deltec structure today.”
Deltec — which now ships hundreds of homes throughout Canada, including Baffin Island — has seen a complete shift in their clientele, from 100 per cent in the resort industry to 95 per cent residential.
“We have a long history of success as far as durability,” said Schlenk. “We have never lost a home because of high winds. The same qualities that make them resistant to high winds also make them very energy ef-ficient.

Care for booze on the beach?
Public drinking and intoxica-tion is already legal in Ger-many, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Japan — so should B.C. follow suit and end the days of covert liquid picnics?
A Vancouver advocacy group calling for responsible reform of B.C.’s liquor laws certainly thinks so. It is anx-iously awaiting the start of a review of provincial laws so it can pitch the idea of a pilot project to legalize drinking on select Vancouver beaches.
Jeremy McElroy with the Campaign for Culture says
the strongest argument for letting people enjoy adult beverages on beaches and in public parks is that they’re already doing it.
“People do it quite fre-quently, especially in the summer,” he said.
“What ends up happen-ing is ... the police end up spending time patrolling the beach, looking through cool-ers and searching adults for liquor, something they’re legally able to purchase at stores, legally able to con-sume in their own homes and licensed establishments, and it really ruins that ex-perience.”
For the first time since 1999, his idea may actually have a shot at becoming re-ality.
That was the last time the province held a comprehen-sive review of liquor policies.
R i c h m o n d - S t e v e s t o n MLA John Yap, parliament-ary secretary to the attor-ney general and minister of
justice, has been mandated by the premier to immedi-ately begin looking at ways to modernize B.C.’s liquor laws, and he is open to sug-gestions.
“In the coming months, I will begin reaching out to stakeholders and the public to hear from them directly,” Yap told Metro in an email. “We’re also working on a new website that will allow the public to engage with us directly on their ideas.”
Vancouver police Const. Brian Montague says 766 $230 tickets were issued to adults for consuming liquor in public last year, and 13 to minors.
Montague insists police have a lot of discretion in handing out fines for public drinking and tend to only do so if there is a public disturbance or the potential for one.
Review looming. Advocacy group backs pilot project to allow drinking by the water in select locations

Ed Simpkins, 72, was described by his sister as a beloved father, grandfather and cyclist. METRO
Suspect turns self in a� er cyclist killedThe alleged driver of a car that hit and killed avid cyclist Ed-ward Simpkins has turned her-self into police.
The 29-year-old woman’s name has not been released as police have not yet decided on what charges to recommend.
Simpkins, 72, was riding down 13th Avenue at Wright Street on the evening of June 30 when he was knocked off his bike at relatively low speed.
Police have not detailed the na-ture of his injuries but he died a short time later.
His family issued an emo-tional appeal for the driver to come forward last Friday, which she did on Monday, said Staff Sgt. Major John Buis.
“She did the right thing and came in earlier this week after seeing media coverage where police and the family appealed to her to come forward,” he
said, adding that the family is “relieved.”
“We’re appreciative of her co-operation, and the media’s assistance in this investigation.”
Police are still appealing for a witness to contact them who stopped behind the driver right after the crash and then reversed out of the quiet resi-dential area.
Buis said it is possible the witness did not realize that
they had seen a fatal accident and just wanted to get where they were going, but police still need to talk to them.
The witness’ vehicle is de-scribed as a grey or possibly brown four-door hatchback, and was in the area around 8:30 p.m.
Anyone with information is asked to phone Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922. KATE WEBB/METRO
A B.C. marijuana activist has been given the green light to petition for the decriminaliza-tion of the illegal drug.
Elections BC said Thursday it will issue Dana Larsen a peti-tion for an amendment to the B.C. Police Act, which would prohibit police officers from making arrests for pot posses-sion. The amendment would not affect laws around traffick-ing.
If Larsen’s petition re-ceives enough signatures, the amendment, called the Sens-ible Policing Act, could go to a provincewide referendum in September 2014.
“This confirms that B.C. has the power to decriminalize ma-rijuana in this province,” said Larsen, a director of the Sens-ible Change Society, which is behind the Sensible B.C. cam-paign to decriminalize mari-juana.
In addition to decriminal-izing marijuana, the Sensible Policing Act aims to call upon the federal government to re-peal marijuana prohibition and establish a commission to determine regulations for culti-vation and sale in B.C.
Larsen said polling indicates majority support for decrimin-alization in every major demo-graphic in B.C.
“They don’t want that (ma-rijuana) to be the focus of po-lice resources,” said Larsen, explaining the popularity of decriminalization among Brit-ish Columbians.
It costs the province an esti-mated $10.5 million per year to bust pot smokers, said Larsen. Moreover, regulation of cultiva-tion and sale of the drug could generate millions of dollars for
the province, he added.However, Larsen said the
largest challenge in the fight for decriminalization won’t be convincing British Colum-bian’s it’s a good idea.
“Winning the election is the easy part,” he said. “The hard part is getting the signatures and getting on the ballot.”
The Sensible B.C. campaign will have just 90 days begin-ning Sept. 9 to collect the sig-natures of at least 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts, about 400,000 people, said Larsen.
Although Larson’s petition application is the ninth ap-
proved by Elections BC since 1995, only one such petition has ever garnered enough sig-natures to bring a legislative proposal to a referendum: The petition for a referendum on the HST.

All you need is love — and cash — for Hollywood church spruce-up
Sarah Kift, a representative of the Church at the Hollywood, poses for a photo at the partially restored former Hollywood Theatre on West Broadway on Wednesday. jennifer gauthier/for metro
For five weeks last summer, churchgoers transformed Van-couver’s dusty and defunct Hollywood Theatre into a house of God.
When word got out that the Point Grey Community Church (PGCC) had found a new home in the long-empty cinema, 60 members came with mops, brooms and buckets, sham-pooing the red velvet seats and sweeping cobwebs off the Italian-made curtains.
“It was a labour of love,” said Church at the Hollywood (formerly PGCC) representative Sarah Kift, noting the theatre’s cleaning regimen had been neglected long before it shut down in May 2011.
Now, the growing congre-gation is looking to show the building’s facade the same love
by restoring it to its 1935 condi-tion.
But love doesn’t come cheap.
The full project — from painting the building to its original cream and red, to re-pairing the neon “Hollywood” sign that lit up West Broadway for decades — will cost an esti-mated $20,000.
The Love the Hollywood campaign has already raised about $2,000, and Benjamin Moore has agreed to donate the paint, said Kift. To raise the remaining funds, the church is calling out to the broader com-munity to lend a hand.
“With $20,000 we’re confi-dent we can completely restore it,” said Kift. “If we raise more than that, it will only become a better restoration.”
The Church at the Holly-wood currently leases the build-ing, which means the congrega-tion could be uprooted from its historic home at any time at the whim of the owners. But the church is committed to its role as servants of this legend-ary Vancouver landmark.
“Not everybody agrees with having a church here, but the overall feeling is that everyone loves this building and recog-nizes the heritage of it,” said Kift. “We feel we are able to steward that, for at least as long as we can.”
The Church at the Holly-wood will host the first of many fundraisers Aug. 2 and 3, when it shows Back to the Future on 35-mm film. Opening night will feature live ’50s-style entertain-ment and a DeLorean will be on display.
Admission is by donation, with a suggested amount of $10 per person. All proceeds will go toward the restoration, which Kift estimates will be complet-ed by Christmas. ElizAbEtH HAmEs/mEtro

Premier Christy Clark addresses the crowd at her election party Wednesday night in Kelowna. elisha dacey/metro
Clark looking for ‘low-maintenance’ digs in KelownaPremier Christy Clark is mak-ing plans to set up house in her new riding of Westside-Kelow-na after getting a resounding show of support from voters in Wednesday’s byelection.
The premier took in 62 per cent of voter support, allowing her to enter the legislature after losing in her home riding of Vancouver-Point Grey in the May general election.
In Kelowna on Thursday, Clark said she has already been on the Internet looking for a home but would also like to hear from anyone in real estate about a home that requires low maintenance.
“I have a cat, but I won’t
be bringing her. So no pets, no smoking and low mainten-ance,” she said.
The premier told reporters at her victory party on Wednes-day night that she didn’t want to be “presumptuous” and start looking for a house while she was campaigning, but she’s get-ting serious now.
Clark said she thinks her perspective may change with the change in location and it was important to have a pre-mier from outside the Lower Mainland.
“I think it really changes the way we govern, and that’s been a real learning experience and I hope it will be an important
change in how I govern in the next four years.”
Also on Thursday, Clark made a $1-million funding an-nouncement for improvements to a stretch of road on the west side of Okanagan Lake.
The winding road snakes around the lake and can be dangerous.
“We’re going to keep work-ing until we can say that West-side Road is as safe as it is scen-ic,” she told reporters who had gathered for a news conference.
The premier said the fund-ing was on top of the $10.3 mil-lion already spent on the road’s improvements since 2008. tHE CAnAdiAn prEss
Rescue
Hiker praised for planning aheadA hiker rescued this week from a remote alpine trail near Tumbler Ridge is being praised by the RCMP for doing everything right.
The experienced adult male hiker was found Monday with a broken ankle by a search-and-rescue crew after he activated his SPOT emer-
gency beacon.The beacon can be
programmed to contact the police or family and friends on a person’s behalf, even from very remote locations.
Not only was the hiker equipped with supplies and emergency equipment, but the RCMP say he had discussed his itinerary with family and friends, which was invaluable when formulating a rescue plan.
The hiker was extracted by
helicopter and transported to a Tumbler Ridge health centre.
He was released soon afterwards. tHE CAnAdiAn prEss
Chilliwack
Abduction charge droppedAn abduction charge against a man accused of trying to leave an apartment complex in Chil-
liwack with a four-year-old boy this week has been dropped.
Instead, Crown counsel will ask a court to forbid 41-year-old Jonathan Landsman from contacting the child or his caregiver.
Landsman appeared in court on Tuesday to face the allegation, but RCMP say the Crown has determined there is not enough evidence to indicate that Landsman tried to abduct the boy. tHE CAnAdiAn prEss
Trail
Man missing after jumping in river to evade policeA man who jumped into the Columbia River in Trail after escaping from a second-floor window to evade arrest is mis-sing and presumed drowned.
RCMP say 28-year-old Andrew Evans was wanted on several arrest warrants and
numerous attempts to locate him led police to the house from where he fled.
Const. Dan Moskaluk says that while officers were speak-ing to an occupant on the main floor, Evans ran upstairs and jumped out the window. Mounties stationed outside were unable to stop him be-fore he dove into the river.
A rescue boat searched the river to the U.S. border without success.tHE CAnAdiAn prEss

No rain ... no fog ... this is B.C.?
Vancouver photographer Tristan Casey’s idyllic landscapes of British Columbia were featured last week in Vice Canada. Contributed/tristan Casey
When Vancouver photograph-er Tristan Casey got a call from Vice Canada last month, he thought someone was playing a joke on him.
“Honestly, I didn’t believe them,” Casey, 29, said when the magazine requested an interview.
But a month later, con-gratulations started flooding in: His dreamy scenes of Brit-ish Columbia’s backwoods were featured on Vice’s web-site under the headline “Tris-tan Casey’s photos make B.C. look like the Earth’s most wonderful place.”
Casey’s work captures a side of the province that is rarely associated with the no-toriously rainy West Coast.
Against a backdrop of blue, cloudless skies, he photo-graphs his friends splashing in the waves, scaling mountains and taking in sunsets from grassy hilltops.
“In my perspective, all I see is summer,” Casey said. “I see the surfing, I see the hiking, the swimming. I see beaches when I think of Vancouver.”
Although Casey grew up in Vancouver, he moved to Eur-ope after high school and later to Toronto. But the years away made him want to rediscover his home province when he returned at 25.
Two weeks after his arrival, his friends invited him camp-
ing in Squamish. The hilltop site where they pitched their tents “had the most gorgeous view I’d ever seen,” he said.
From behind his lens, he
has been journeying to B.C.’s hidden corners ever since. On any given weekend, he and his friends will take off on bike, foot or ferry — usually
venturing no farther than a few hundred kilometres from downtown Vancouver.
“Vancouver’s situated an hour from every desirable
land form,” Casey said, citing the wealth of islands, moun-tains and beaches nearby. “We, as a city, are a hub for exploration.”

Residents recall fatal landslide one year laterJillian Madill can still remem-ber moving into her dream home almost three decades ago: a 100-year-old log cabin on 17 acres in Johnsons Landing, B.C.
She said it was “the most gorgeous log house that you’ve ever seen,” and she and her husband, John, could not have been happier.
But she and her husband will never live there again. Their home was destroyed by an avalanche of mud and debris that buried their tiny commun-ity one year ago Friday.
Four of the community’s 35 residents died, and four other houses were wiped out.
“To just lose it in a blink of an eye like that — it’s taken us a while to come to terms,”
Madill said.The landslide tore through
Johnsons Landing in mid-mor-ning, thundering down the mountainside before spilling into Kootenay Lake.
Richard Ortega was standing outside the community retreat
centre he co-founded, chatting with a neighbour, when the ground started to shake.
“There was this giant rum-ble, and we all looked up,” he said. “It sounded like a freight train coming down, except you could hear trees snapping and boulders rumbling.
“It was less than 60 seconds for the entire event, and when it stopped, the world was completely still. There wasn’t a bird chirping or a bee buzz-ing. Nothing. Everybody was in shock,” he said.
A report on the disaster re-leased in May said the landslide was caused by heavy rain and a late-spring snowmelt that set off the largest slide to hit the region in an estimated 12,000 years. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canadian organized-crime groups have forged links with Mexican outlaws in an attempt to secure a direct supply of co-caine and increase their prof-its by eliminating the middle-man, says the RCMP.
An internal analysis by the Mounties notes that since 2008 at least 10 Canadians have been shot or killed in Mexico under circumstances suggesting involvement with local criminal elements.
Some were known to be active in drug trafficking in Canada and all had extensive
criminal backgrounds, says the RCMP analysis.
A copy of the May 2012 as-sessment — heavily censored — was released under the Ac-cess to Information Act.
The murder in Mexico of several Canadians with crim-inal connections may signal that Canadian disputes and retaliatory actions are making their way south — contrary to the popular perception that drug cartel frictions are mi-grating north, says the RCMP’s companion report.The Canadian Press

Oath to the Queen of Canada ‘repulsive’Forcing would-be Canadians to pledge allegiance to the Queen before they can become cit-izens is discriminatory and a violation of their rights, three permanent residents are set to argue in court on Friday.
The Citizenship Act re-quires applicants for citizen-ship to swear or affirm they will be “faithful and bear true allegiance to Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, her heirs and successors.”
The requirement “effect-ively bars” the applicants from enjoying citizenship rights such as voting or obtaining a Canadian passport given their constitutionally protected be-liefs, their application to On-tario Superior Court states.
One of the applicants, Mi-chael McAteer, says his father was persecuted in Ireland for supporting Irish independence.
“Taking an oath of alle-giance to a hereditary monarch
who lives abroad would violate my conscience,” McAteer says.
Simone Topey says swear-ing allegiance to the Queen — whom Rastafarians regard as the “head of Babylon” — would violate her beliefs.
Dror Bar-Natan maintains the Queen is a symbol of en-
trenched privilege and taking the oath would be “repulsive.”
For its part, the federal gov-ernment argues that the three are in Canada voluntarily, and their political and religious views enjoy constitutional pro-tections.
That they cannot have the “convenience” of a Canadian passport or the right to vote is a small price to pay for adher-ing to their principles.
“It is not constitutionally inconsistent that the appli-cants who find Canada’s foun-dational democratic political structure to be ‘repugnant,’ at least in parts, are not accorded the right to vote within that political system,” it states.
“The inability to enjoy the benefits of citizenship ... are amongst the costs reasonably borne by individuals whose personal beliefs run counter to Canada’s foundational herit-age.” The Canadian Press

People hug outside an emergency shelter in Lac-Mégantic, Que., on Thursday. Some locals have fond recollections oftheir dealings with the train driver at the centre of the investigation. JaCques BoissinoT/The Canadian Press
Train engineer a hero or criminal?
His face gripped with terror, the train driver sprang out of bed at the inn where he’d re-tired for the night and raced to the scene of an impending catastrophe.
Residents of Lac-Mégantic, Que., painted a portrait Thurs-day of the friendly railman who chatted with locals dur-ing his regular stopovers in town.
An employee at the inn says she thinks she was look-ing into his eyes the instant he realized his unmanned, crude-oil-filled train had just slammed into the downtown core.
The train driver, Tom Har-
ding, now finds himself at the centre of the investigation into a derailment disaster now feared to have killed 50 people.
His boss has said he could face criminal charges.
The chairman of the rail company has suspended Har-ding without pay amid con-cerns that he might not have properly applied the brakes on the tanker train.
The company had initially described Harding as a hero for apparently rushing to the scene where he managed to pull some of the explosive rail cars away from the flames.
A taxi driver met Harding on Friday night at the spot where he parked the train before it roared into town. He said his regular customer seemed fine.
However, Andre Turcotte did say that the train appeared to be belching out more smoke than usual, so much so that he recalled oil droplets from the exhaust landing on his car.
He said he asked Harding twice about the smoke. Tur-cotte said his client calmly re-sponded that he had followed company directives to deal with it. The Canadian Press
Leave him alone
“I imagine it’s not his fault. In the meantime, he needs support — he doesn’t need harassment.... And if it’s his fault, listen, he will pay for it, for sure.”Taxi driver Andre Turcotte, who has transported engineer Tom Harding from the train to the inn once or twice a week for the last four months.

Defence budget not fully spentNew figures from the par-liamentary budget office show National Defence has not spent billions of dollars set aside for it dur-ing the last budget year, a continuing trend some consider deficit slashing by stealth.
Retired lieutenant-general Andrew Leslie said the pattern is either a matter of managerial incompetence or a delib-erate policy.
“If it is deliberate, the government of Canada needs to explain why.”The Canadian Press

Following an incident where one its employees in Kempt-ville, Ont. was fired after con-fronting a customer who left his dog in a car on a hot mor-ning, Walmart Canada says it will install signs in its parking lots across Canada warning shoppers about the dangers of leaving children and pets in hot vehicles.
Walmart Canada issued a statement on its Facebook page just before noon Thursday say-ing that it is major supporter of animal rights and denying the termination was over the em-
ployee’s move to confront the customer.
“We want you to know that the associate in question was absolutely not let go for trying to help a dog in a locked car. The decision to dismiss an as-sociate is one that we take ex-tremely seriously and must fol-low a comprehensive process,” the statement said. “As per our protocol, the store manager did speak to the customer in ques-tion about the dangers of leav-ing a dog in a hot car.”
The former employee, Carla Cheney, a pharmacy techni-cian, said she called police Tues-day when she saw a man leave his dog in a truck in the park-ing lot. She said the SPCA had advised her to call 911 after a similar incident that happened at the store a week earlier.

We liked their early stuff better? Belugas to see another concert Two Winnipeg artists are on the northernmost edge of Manitoba this summer to or-ganize a concert series that promises to really whale.
Laura Magnusson and Kaoru Ryan Klatt left for Churchill last week with a
specially crafted “sculptural sea vessel” — complete with a stage and an underwater speaker system — to stage performances for thousands of beluga whales on the Churchill River estuary.
“We’re fostering ties
between humans and be-lugas,” explained Magnusson, who’s travelled with Klatt to Churchill for the past two summers to sing and talk to whale pods.

Sheer pants may be due to incorrect size: Lululemon Retailer Lululemon says customers could still be sporting see-through Luon yoga pants because they’re buying sizes that are too small for them. The Vancouver-based company said there are still “a few negative comments” circu-lating on the Internet from shoppers whom it believes are buying the wrong size.The Canadian Press
The Supreme Court of Can-ada is taking on the question of whether police can access information on a cellphone that isn’t protected by a pass-word.
The court has agreed to hear an appeal from Kevin Fearon, who was arrested after an armed robbery in To-ronto in 2009.
Police obtained photos of a gun and cash, as well as a text message about jewelry, after taking a closer look at Fearon’s phone, which was unlocked. After he was con-victed, Fearon appealed, argu-ing that police breached his rights when they examined the phone after his arrest.
The Ontario Court of Ap-peal said it was all right for the police to look through the phone in a cursory fash-
ion to see if there was evi-dence relevant to the crime, but after that they should have stopped to get a search warrant.
Had the phone been pass-word-protected or otherwise locked to anyone other than its owner, “it would not have been appropriate” to look through the phone without a
search warrant.The appeal judges referred
to a decision in a murder case in which the judge did not al-low evidence from a personal electronic device because it “functioned as a mini-com-puter,” which has a high ex-pectation of privacy.
The contents of that de-vice were only extracted by a police officer using special-ized equipment, the judges noted.
“There was no suggestion in this case that this particu-lar cellphone functioned as a ‘mini-computer,’ nor that its contents were not ‘immedi-ately visible to the eye,’” the court said in its ruling.
“Rather, because the phone was not password-protected, the photos and the text message were readily available to other users.”
Defence lawyer Sean Robi-chaud said that approach failed to take into account the amount of information many people keep on their cellphones these days.The Canadian Press

Top court to hear cell privacy case
No explanation
• As usual, the Supreme Court justices gave no reasons for agreeing to hear the case.
• Kevin Fearon also ap-pealed over the issue of access to a lawyer, saying he was left in an inter-view room for five hours without an opportunity to contact counsel.
• The Supreme Court, however, said the appeal will be limited to the cellphone issue.
It’s a royal bonanza — but for Britain’s souvenir makers, also a royal headache. The upcom-ing birth of Prince William and his wife Kate’s first child is a golden opportunity that comes with a mystery: The name and gender of the baby.
While merchants have known for months that the fu-ture heir to the throne is due in mid-July, they’ll be sent into a mad dash to create, or at least put finishing touches on, royal baby memorabilia.
Sophie Allport, a designer of fine bone china, is one manu-facturer waiting for the future monarch’s name to send her
commercial plans into motion. She has thousands of pre-orders for hand-crafted commemora-tive mugs but can’t fill them until the baby’s name can be etched on the rims.
She’s as ready as she can possibly be — having prepared both blue and pink designs depending on whether it’s a prince or princess. “We’ve never done something like this so I hope it works,” said Allport, whose designs, once finished, will be scanned, mailed or even driven by courier to the city of Stoke-on-Trent, the centre of Britain’s ceramic industry.

2 Cool cats. Last December, a man in Wind-sor, Ont., was found with 155 dead cats in
his freezer. This week, Jerry Miernecki pleaded guilty and was banned from owning more than one animal, which must be spayed or neutered. And one year probation, because they’ll want to keep an eye out for odd behaviour.
3 Miseducation. Remember Lauryn Hill? The reclusive Fugees star left showbiz in
2000 due to the overwhelming pressure, but collected over $1.5 million US in royalties between 2005 and 2007 for which she failed to file income tax. Hill is serving a three-month prison sentence, followed by 90 days of house arrest concurrent with one-year parole. And, on top of that, all of her pets must be spayed or neutered.

Last month, that inspired journey turned bittersweet as the release of Dark Hearts Can Radiate White Light, eerily coincided with Levoir’s unexpected death.

Toronto team takes international prizeTwo Toronto engineers have just fi nished setting up their prize-winning helicopter that is powered by Todd Reichert’s powerful legs pedalling a bicycle.
Since 1980, a challenge to engineers across the world — to build a human-powered helicopter, capable of sustaining three metres of
fl ight for 60 seconds — had remained unclaimed.
Teams of engineers from Japan to the U.S. came close, but not close enough. Only Reichert’s team has fulfi lled the seemingly impossible feat, earning it a $250,000 prize Thursday. The award-winning fl ight took place in June, after 18 months for the University of Toronto alumni to build and fi ne tune the project. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Adam Sandler’s comedy Grown Ups 2 opens this weekend. HANDOUT
Richard: Mark, the old say-ing, “They got bigger, but they didn’t grow up,” perfect-ly applies to this new Sandler and Company movie. It’s 90 minutes of middle-aged men, urination gags (too many to count) and cleavage shots. So while the actors may have matured (chronologically at least) the jokes haven’t. Ques-tion is: is it funny? I didn’t really think so, although I
have to say Shaquille O’Neal’s b ig -guy -Andre - the -Giant shtick made me laugh. You?
Mark: No, I didn’t laugh. But let’s examine the inventory. Chris Rock may be the fun-niest stand-up working to-day, but as a movie star, he’s never done anything much worthwhile.
David Spade: Tommy Boy was a long time ago.
Sandler: Well, I only find him funny when he’s trying to be serious.
There is only one movie genius here — I’m not kid-ding — and it’s Kevin James. He’s the only one of the bunch that can convincingly play a regular guy and not come off like a slumming millionaire. And even then, not in this turkey.
Also you might have to wonder about any sequel that Rob Schneider passes on.
RC: I wondered where Schneider’s character was. I guess some friendships don’t last forever. I can’t say I didn’t laugh at all.
James’ deadpan dumb kid who can’t add or spell is a pretty funny running gag but for a movie about growing up, it was all so juvenile. I didn’t expect a searing meditation on aging but I did think they might touch on the fact that they were growing old with more smarts than lines like, “I used to buy 10 cases of beer for my parties, now I get 10 cases of juice boxes.”
MB: A good line. I snorted in recognition. And I grudg-
ingly laughed a bit at a few sight gags, like the exploding life raft and some of the ’80s outfits at the party finale. But generally, the humour aims too low. But I liked it — if I can use the word — more than the first one. At least it had some nice callbacks and weird twists of coincidence. And it had a lazy summer quality about it, probably the result of lazy screenwriting, acting and direction.
RC: I like silly movies, I just wish it was silly and about something other than a moose urinating on Sandler’s unsuspecting family, and by extension, the audience.
MB: We should all feel lucky. In the first draft of the script, it was the other way around.
New movie. In the sequel to Grown Ups, the comedy doesn’t grow into anything and remains a series of juvenile jokes and potty humour

Synopsis
Grown Ups 2 picks up where the last movie left off . Lenny (Adam Sandler in his fi rst ever sequel) has relocated his wife (Salma Hayek) and kids back to his hometown to be closer to friends and family. It’s the last day of school, and as the kids are packing up their books, their fathers (Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade) grapple with growing up, grow-ing old and a gang of frat boys who think the four old friends are way over the hill.

The Way, Way BackDirectors. Nat Faxon,
Jim Rash
Stars. Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell, Liam James
• • • • •
This new dramedy starring Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell and Canadian actor Liam James sets the story in a beach resort where an introverted 14-year-old is trapped in a world of adults. It doesn’t add anything new to the coming-of-age genre, but what it does, it does really well. The movie’s main strength lies in the in-teresting way the characters interact. It’s more than just another study of awkward teen behaviour. It’s a sweet movie with genuine laughs. richard crouse
Science Fiction
Pacific Rim
Director. Guillermo del Toro
Stars. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi
• • • • •
Director Guillermo del Toro has made an end-of-the-world scenario fun. In Pacific Rim the planet is threatened by Kaijus, colossal beasts with an appetite for destruction. Giant robots called Jaegers, operated by pilots like Ra-leigh Becket (Charlie “Sons of Anarchy” Hunnam) are the last hope to fight the beasts and save the world. Add to that Ron Perlman in a colourful cameo, huge-scale martial arts and some crazy Roger Corman-esque science theories and you can expect to have a geek freak-out. richard crouse
When it comes to discussing contemporary horror mov-ies, “restraint” isn’t usually a word that comes up too often.
But it’s one that actor Pat-rick Wilson keeps coming back to when describing how direc-tor James Wan (Saw, Insidious) approached The Conjuring, based on a case file by real-life paranormal investigators Ed Warren (Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga).
There’s a lot of restraint in how the film sticks to its time period, feeling very much in mood and style like a 1970s film.James said that to me very early on. It was the ’70s with-out hitting people over the head — with bell bottoms
or an episode of Partridge Family or something. Yeah, it’s in the ’70s and you’ve got ’70s clothes, and you’ve got the odd “groovy” that the kids say — which they would — and I think it gives people a little frame of reference, but it’s not blatant.
It’s refreshing to see the older style of making scary movies is still effective.
No disrespect to horror mov-ies from the past 15 years, but when people say, “What are the great horror movies?” you’re always drawn to the Exorcist — that movie always comes up as one of maybe three or four that are argu-ably the best. Those are mov-ies that are rich in character and not overly graphic. The violence is used appropriate-ly, the blood is used appropri-
ately. And I think James has a real affinity for that, which I always admired, especially coming from Saw. He almost started this whole movement, I feel like, with the shock and the gore and everything. But one of the things that struck me about (our previous collaboration) Insidious was the complete opposite of that. And now he’s just really hit his stride.

July means one thing for the entertainment industry: Comic-Con. Here’s what we’re geeking out over this year at the annual pop culture smor-gasbord in San Diego.
Marvel: The comic book movie juggernaut never ceas-es to impress in San Diego, and hopefully this year will be no different. We’re look-ing for updates on Avengers 2 as well as the upcoming Captain America and Thor sequels. Plus, wouldn’t it be awesome if they brought out the whole cast of Guardians of the Galaxy, their bizarre new super-team movie?
X-Men: Days of Future Past: It feels like it’s been forever since Fox has mounted a Hall H presentation for Comic-Con, but this year they’re back. Mum is the word on what will be presented, but we have it on good authority something will be done to celebrate the impending re-lease of the Wolverine. More importantly, we’re hoping for an update from Bryan
Singer on his return to the X-Men franchise.
Godzilla: With Pacific Rim putting giant, city-destroying monsters back in people’s minds, the time is right to re-introduce the original kaiju, Godzilla. The reboot, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe and Elizabeth Olsen, has just started filming, so hopefully there will be some monster-sized surprises in store.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: We may have to wait until sum-mer 2015 for Avengers 2, but Marvel is helping make that wait go faster with this
TV spin-off, overseen by Joss Whedon himself. It’s easily our most anticipated show of the fall season. And maybe we’ll finally learn how Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson — who appeared to have perished in the Avengers — factors into the new show.
Doctor Who: We’re halfway through the venerable Brit-ish sci-fi series’ 50th anniver-sary, so expect big things — especially with current Time Lord Matt Smith bowing out later this year. That makes this his last Comic-Con as Doctor Who, so hopefully he’ll make the most of it.

A modern twist
Superheroines get a hipster makeoverArtist Elizabeth Beals (society6.com/ElizabethBeal-sPrints) is giving superhero-
ines a modern look by turn-ing them into their hipster selves. The illustrations of the DC female protagon-ists — Diana Prince (Wonder Woman), Harleen Quinzel (Harley Quinn) and Selina Kyle (Catwoman) -— look like
they would be at home in an episode of Girls. While to the naked eye they may seem like your average 20-some-thing, little nods to their super personalities present a fun new take on these classic characters. metro

King of Queens star leaves Church of Scientology
King of Queens and The Talk star Leah Remini has left the Church of Scientology. Apparently Remini, who has been a member of the church for many years, grew tired of the organization’s habit of cutting off ties with people it deems “suppres-sive.”
“It all began when Leah questioned the validity of excommunication ofpeople,” a source told the
Post. “She is stepping back from a regime she thinks is corrupt. She thinks no religion should tear apart a family or abuse someone under the umbrella of ‘reli-gion.’” Apparently, at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s wedding, the actress asked politely where church leader David Miscavige’s wife was. It must have been a loaded question, because Remini was slammed with years of auditing and “thought modification.” Remini is reportedly considering going public, but wants to wait and see what the church is going to do, since they’re rumoured to harass those who try to leave.
Remini can stay at my place if she needs to hide out. I am a strong supporter of religious freedom for sitcom stars.

Low key wedding bells imminent for Berry
Halle Berry will reportedly marry her fiancé, Olivier Martinez, this weekend, ac-cording to E! News, though the location of the event is still a mystery. Berry and Mar-tinez were spotted flying out of LAX earlier this week with Berry’s daughter, Nahla, in
tow. If Berry’s interview with InStyle last year is any indica-tion, it will be an intimate ceremony. “I do know it will be very small,” she told the magazine. The couple, who have been engaged since March 2012, are expecting their first child together.

Country singer LeAnn Rimes finds Star magazine’s claims that she’s expecting a baby with husband Eddie Cibrian hilarious. “(Laughing my ass off,) Star magazine,” she

Angelina Jolie
War, what is it good for? An Angelina Jolie movie, apparently
Angelina Jolie has her second project as a director all lined up. The actress and activist will be taking on Unbroken, a Second World War drama about former prisoner of war Louie Zam-perini, according to Yahoo News. “I’ve had the privilege of spending a great deal of time with Louie Zamperini, who is a hero of mine, and now — I am proud to say — a dear friend,” Jolie says in a
statement. “I am deeply hon-oured to be telling his extra-ordinary story, and I will do my absolute best to give him the film he deserves.” Oscar-winners Joel and Ethan Coen are writing the script, and Jolie was spotted in Hawaii this week scouting locations. Jolie’s first film as a director,
In the Land of Blood and Honey, was released in 2011.

A crispy nacho is a happy (tasty) nacho
Before turning on the grill, make sure the baking sheet you plan to use fits on it with the lid down. If it doesn’t, you can divide the ingredients into multiple smaller pans. The smaller pans also can be cooked in batches, if needed.
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the adobo sauce, to-mato paste, oil, garlic powder and salt. Add the steak and mix to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 min-utes and up to overnight.
2. When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium-high.
3. Rub the corn with a bit of canola oil, then set it on the grill. Cook the corn, turning often, until lightly browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the corn to a plate and set aside until cool enough to handle.
4. Meanwhile, use an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs to coat the grill grates with oil. Add the steak and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Transfer to
a plate and set aside. Leave the grill on, but reduce the heat to low.
5. Arrange the tortilla chips in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the steak evenly over the chips.
6. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs. To do this, stand the ear on its wide end, then use a knife to saw down the length of the sides. Scatter the corn kernels over the steak and chips, then scatter the cheese over that. Set the baking sheet on the grill, cover the grill and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
7. Remove the baking sheet from the grill, then scatter the tomatoes, pepperoncini and diced onion over the other top-pings. Serve immediately. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Staple of summertime
Sorry, spirit fans, you don’t have the monopoly on mixology. Innovative wine lovers have been adding extras to vino for centuries, creating inspired alterna-tives to drinking it neat.
The Spanish came up with the idea of sangria: A blend of red wine, liqueur and fruit named after their term for blood because of its dark colour. Argu-ably the first wine cooler, Canadians are just cluing in to how easy it is to make — not to mention how well it goes with summer menus.
My basic recipe is meant to be played with, so have fun experimenting. Use whatever fruit turns you on (I start with watermelon, blueberries and raspberries) and an inexpensive Spanish red or a value-priced, fruit-forward alternative like Lin-deman’s juicy 2012 Cawarra Shiraz Cabernet ($8.95 to $10.99) from Australia.
Peter’s Simple Sangria:
• Ice cubes
• 750 ml chilled red wine
• 100 ml orange liqueur• 500 ml gingerale
• 200 ml lemonade
• Fruit
• Sugar
Grab a clear glass pitcher and toss in some ice cubes. Add all the liquids, then the fruit. Stir. Give it a sip and add sugar to taste. Enjoy! PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL PROVINCES.

Ask some members of the B.C. Lions what they think of Mike Reilly and they gush about how much they love and re-spect their former teammate.
The Lions traded Reilly to the Edmonton Eskimos in January.
He was capable of being a starting quarterback in the CFL, but that was never going to happen in B.C., not while Travis Lulay was standing be-hind centre, hence the change in address for Reilly.
On Saturday, the Lions face Reilly and the Eskimos in Ed-monton.
The Lions already faced Reilly and the Eskimos in the pre-season, so the initial shock of him in a different uniform — he spent the past three sea-sons in Vancouver as a back-up — has worn off.
But still, it’s the first time members of the Lions will face their old teammate in a regu-lar-season game. Two points are on the line.
“We had that initial feeling in the pre-season,” said Lulay, following practice on Thurs-day.
“Now, it’s all business. He’s a good friend, but you want to
play good against your bud-dies.”
In two regular-season games as the Eskimos’ starter, Reilly has experienced the highs and lows the position can offer.
In Edmonton’s season-opening loss, Reilly completed just 17 of 35 pass attempts, and if that wasn’t bad enough, he tossed three interceptions.
A week later, in the midst of a torrential downpour, Reilly had an efficient out-ing considering the elements, throwing a pair of TD passes in Edmonton’s win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The Lions know Reilly as a confident and cerebral QB
with a strong arm. “It’s for real now. The bul-
lets are live,” said Lions vet-eran defensive back Dante Marsh.
“He’s an excellent quarter-back, he’s a good athlete, he’s a tremendous guy as far as
leadership. He’s running the show in Edmonton.”
There’s also no denying he was a popular figure amongst his former teammates, but their affections for Reilly will temporarily cease for a few hours on Saturday.

Kovalchuk walks away from deal with the DevilsIlya Kovalchuk considered staying in Russia when the NHL lockout ended in Janu-ary. Ultimately he returned to play with the New Jersey Devils.
But on Thursday, Koval-chuk made official what the Devils knew was a possibil-ity since then.
The Devils announced that Kovalchuk is returning home and retiring from the NHL. The final 12 years and $77 million US of his contract were voided, and Kovalchuk is free to play in Russia’s KHL.
“Though I decided to return this past season, (general manager Lou Lamoriello) was aware of my desire to go back home and have my family there with me,” the 30-year-old said in a statement. “The most difficult thing for me is to leave the New Jersey Devils, a great organization that I have a lot of respect for, and our fans that have been great to me.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Riders rough up Argonauts Darian Durant threw three touchdown passes, includ-ing two long ones to Taj Smith, to lead the Saskatch-ewan Roughriders past the Toronto Argonauts 39-28 on Thursday.
Durant cemented the win at the Rogers Centre with a 70-yard TD strike to Smith at 6:51 of the third quarter to put Saskatch-ewan (3-0) comfortably ahead 29-14. Durant also found a wide-open Smith on a 61-yard touchdown pass in the opening half. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Green excited for chance with AHL UticaBeing from British Columbia, the next step in Travis Green’s coaching career carries added significance.
With more than 1,000 regular-season and playoff games of NHL playing ex-perience from 1992 to 2007, Green is now the head coach of the AHL’s Utica Comets, the Vancouver Canucks’ top affiliate.
Green, who hails from Castlegar, B.C., signed a three-
year deal with the Canucks, after first meeting with mem-bers of the organization in-formally at the NHL draft last month.
He met with Canucks brass again last week for more ser-ious discussions.
“Being a B.C. guy that grew up here, I’m very proud and excited,” Green told reporters at Rogers Arena, while Can-ucks prospects took part in a scrimmage Thursday after-
noon.“Growing up watching the
Canucks, being a big fan of them and from a professional career, to get this opportun-ity, I’m real excited about it.”
Green began coaching with the Portland Winter-hawks of the WHL in October of 2008.
He was an assistant coach and assistant general man-ager back then, but was sud-denly put in the role of head coach and general manager in November of this past season.
That’s when the WHL sus-pended then head coach and GM Mike Johnston for the re-mainder of the season, fined
the team $200,000 for what the league called violations related to player benefits.
Green helped guide the Winterhawks to a berth in the Memorial Cup championship game in May.
“I went to Portland to learn how to coach,” he said.
“I wanted to make sure I was ready to take the next step and I think I’m more than ready now.” CAM TUCKER/METRO

Love lost, for a while
“I love him to death. But for 60 minutes, I don’t like him.”Lions DB Dante Marsh on former team-mate and Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly.

The jump from junior hockey to the NHL presents challenges not only on the ice, but off it as well.
Cooking and preparing meals, for instance. The intro-duction to professional hock-ey, and living on your own, can be a rude awakening when it comes to something as seem-ingly basic as preparing dinner.
But not for Hunter Shin-karuk, a first-round pick of the Vancouver Canucks in the 2013 NHL draft.
Shinkaruk and his fellow prospects were given cooking classes during prospects camp this week in Vancouver.
This is where Shinkaruk might have a leg up on his peers.
“I lived with my mom in junior, but she made me cook three times a week,” he said on Wednesday.
Shinkaruk was among 38 other prospects at camp.
Not only were they put through the paces on the ice,
capped off with a scrimmage at Rogers Arena on Thursday, but they also did team-building exercises and took seminars on other aspects of life as a pro hockey player.
They did dragon-boating and hiked up the Grouse Grind. In addition to cooking class, they were educated in the vari-ous forms of social media and how to conduct themselves in that realm.
“You go to that rink and all of a sudden you’re repre-senting not only yourself, but the Canucks organization and the NHL,” Shinkaruk said.
The Canucks took Shink-aruk with the 24th overall pick in this year’s draft, after he was ranked sixth among North
American skaters by NHL Cen-tral Scouting.
He scored 37 goals and had 86 points in 64 regular-season games with the Medicine Hat Tigers this season.
He’s fast and skilled, and he’ll be counted upon to bring those elements to camp in Sep-tember. Do that, and he could be cooking his meals as a pro-fessional sooner rather than later.
“I’m an offensive player and I do bring excitement to my game. I’m just that kind of player,” he said.
“I think that’s something that, every time I’m on the ice, I have to bring because that’s the reason why I’ve gotten here.”

Aries March 21 - April 20 You are not usually the trusting sort but you seem determined to see only the best in people today. Good for you but don’t believe everyone.
Taurus April 21 - May 21 You have so much work to finish before the weekend that you may be at a loss to know how to get it all done. Don’t worry, the planets will provide. All you have to do is make a start and then keep going.
Gemini May 22 - June 21 Wherever you go and whatever you do today people will greet you like a long lost friend. You must be doing something right to get this kind of response, so carry on.
Cancer June 22 - July 23 It seems you have been rather obsessive about someone. For some reason you have been thinking about this person night and day. Is that healthy? Probably not. Think about something else.
Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 Friends will rally around and make life easy for you today. What have you done to deserve this kind of assist-ance? Probably nothing much but you do have a knack for attracting people.
Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 It might be wise to leave your credit card at home today because if you use it once you won’t know when to stop. Use cash only and limit yourself to a certain amount. If you haven’t got enough, too bad.
Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 People you do business with today may not be talkative but from the look in their eyes and the way they position themselves, you will know what they are thinking. You read body language so well.
Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 It’s good to be open-minded but that does not mean you can allow people with silly theories to waste your time. The Sun in Cancer promotes broader thinking but some thinking is too outrageous to take seriously.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 No matter how vulnerable you may feel at the moment, you need to be around people because it is only through personal contact that you can rise above this negative phase.
Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Make a point of being calm today because what happens over the weekend will try your patience to the limit.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 You are desperate to be on the move and will be impatient with people who think or act too slowly. Your journey will be a lot more pleasant if you relax and stop looking at your watch so often. Time doesn’t matter.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 If you are confused about something, you must speak up. There is nothing wrong in admitting that you don’t “get” it and it’s unlikely you are the only one. You will be doing people a favour. SALLY BROMPTON
