Steeves addresses controversy

A candidate for the Winni-peg mayoralty said Tuesday he is staying in the race despite an ongoing contro-versy over his wife’s com-ments about aboriginal pan-handlers.

A handful of protesters heckled Gord Steeves at his first appearance since his wife’s comments were brought to light last Friday.

“My wife was ... scared and angry, and she did some-thing in poor judgment and she acknowledges that and she apologizes,” the long-time city councillor said.

Last Friday an anonym-ous Twitter account posted a Facebook message from Lorrie Steeves from early 2010. Steeves wrote that she was “really tired of get-ting harassed by the drunk-en native guys in the sky-

walks. We need to get these people educated so they can go make their own damn money instead of hanging out and harassing the hon-est people.”

Steeves said his wife’s 2010 Facebook post was written after she was threat-ened at least twice by pan-handlers. In one case, he said, she and their two kids were approached by a large, inebriated man who raised his hands and made threatening noises. In an-other, Steeves said, his wife was alone and approached by three panhandlers for money.

“One of the panhandlers jumped up and put his fin-ger in her face.”

Steeves has drawn a lot of criticism on social media and websites. Some aborig-inal leaders have said the comments are racist and re-flect a not-uncommon sub-urbanite view of downtown aboriginals. But some mem-bers of the public have sup-ported Steeves, saying his wife expressed a legitimate fear of panhandlers, regard-less of race.thE caNadIaN PrESS

‘As quickly as possible’

Faster permit process, vows SteevesBefore his press confer-ence got bogged down over his wife’s Facebook rant, mayoral candidate Gord Steeves vowed to stream-line the permit application process.

Steeves said he’d increase the number of front-line staff accepting applications and reduce by 70 per cent the number of variances that automatic-ally trigger public hearings by eliminating “nuisance” zoning bylaw regulations.

“The problem in Win-nipeg and other cities is the speed at which we can pro-cess permits and get them to the proper people so that development can occur as quickly as possible,” he said.

He also promised real-time online reporting of the statuses of the permits.BErNIcE PoNtaNIlla/MEtro

Back in my day, life was simple. A purple cat meant the kids had gotten into the paints again. A thump usually meant my husband had fallen off the roof again and he was going to have a huge headache if he didn’t need to go to the hospital. If the car didn’t start, it needed a kick behind the fender, and if the kids were chewing grass it’s probably time to make dinner.These days though, I can barely keep up. These newfangled devices don’t just start working if you kick them. In fact, the last time I tried it on my laptop; it somehow made the problem worse. If it beeps and whistles it’s probably trying to tell me something, but I don’t have the slightest clue what. These days thumps mean my husband’s banging his head against the wall again.

Police have released a sketch of a man they’d like to speak with, left, related to the disappearance of Amber Rose Marie Guiboche. COURTESY WINNIPEG POLICE

Person of interest sought in disappearanceWinnipeg police have re-leased a composite sketch of a man they’d like to inter-view in connection with the disappearance of a Winni-peg woman four years ago.

Amber Rose Marie Guiboche was 20 years old when she was last seen on the evening of Nov. 10, 2010, near William Avenue and Isabel Street.

Investigators believe Guiboche may have gotten into a red truck that night.

New information led po-

lice to release a sketch of a person of interest in the case Tuesday.

He is a white man, roughly 30, with short hair that looked reddish from the sides. He has hairy arms described as being reddish or blond, facial stubble, and was possibly wearing pre-scription glasses at the time of Guiboche’s disappear-ance. He was also wearing a faded green camouflage baseball hat. The man was driving an older-model red

truck, possibly a Chevrolet, with bench seats.

Guiboche is described as standing five-feet-five tall and weighing 105 pounds, with a fair complexion, ha-zel eyes, a thin build, and long, straight brown hair often worn in a ponytail.

She was wearing a white Adidas hoodie with gold stripes down the sleeves, blue skinny jeans and pink skater-style runners at the time of her disappearance.METRO

Families of some of Canada’s 1,200 missing and murdered aboriginal women laid to-bacco at the foot of a new monument to their loved ones in Winnipeg at the Forks on Tuesday.

The two-metre-high gran-ite statue, a project led by the Manitoba government, provides relatives a place to grieve loved ones who were killed or have disappeared.

“When you walk by, please take a moment to think about these women and their families,” said Barb Houle, whose daugh-ter Cherisse was killed out-side Winnipeg in 2009. The 17-year-old’s body was found in a ditch and her killer has never been caught.

“We’d like to raise aware-ness on this issue that’s not only important to aboriginal people, but to society as a

whole.”The monument, hour-

glass-shaped and human-sized, is meant to represent a woman. There is an open-ing near the top that allows sunlight through.

“The light and the dark-ness pass through without judgment in an endless cycle. There is neither a be-ginning nor an end,” said Nahanni Fontaine, a special adviser for the government on aboriginal women’s issues.

Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Minister Eric Robin-son renewed his call Tues-day for a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, an idea the federal government has rejected.

In May, the RCMP issued a detailed statistical break-down of 1,181 cases since 1980. The report said aborig-inal women make up 4.3 per cent of the Canadian popula-tion, yet account for 16 per cent of female homicides and 11.3 per cent of missing women. THE CANADIAN PRESS

MTS. Chief executive plans to retire this yearThe CEO of Manitoba Tele-com Services Inc. is plan-ning to retire later this year and the Winnipeg company has started to look for a new leader.

Chief executive Pierre Blouin will stay on until a new CEO has been appointed and will help with the transi-tion process.

The telecom company says both internal and external candidates will be considered

for the top job.Under Blouin’s leadership,

MTS had tried to sell its busi-ness unit, Allstream, but Ot-tawa blocked a $520-million deal to sell it last year.

Federal Industry Minister James Moore, acting under national security provisions of the Investment Canada Act, rejected the proposal to sell Allstream to Egyptian in-vestment group Accelero Cap-ital. The Canadian PreSS

Perogy-eating world record smashed

Two behemoths of eating went head-to-head in Winnipeg Tuesday afternoon to finally determine once and for all how many perogies one man can eat in four minutes.

The stunt, held at Proven-cher Park as part of a cross-country poutine-eating tour put on by Smoke’s Poutinerie, pitted professional eaters (yep,

that’s a thing) Pat “Deep Dish” Bertoletti from Chicago against the reigning perogy-eating world champion, Furious Pete Czerwinski of Toronto.

Once the cheese, potatoes and dough settled, Bertoletti broke Czerwinski’s previous re-cord of 64 perogies in four min-utes with an unsettling final tally of 105.

“You have to go to your pri-mal animal and eat like a com-plete barbarian,” said Bertoletti of his technique in the compe-tition. “It’s not pretty.... We’re not going to win any beauty contests while we’re here.”

The event also saw amateur local eaters compete in a pou-tine-eating contest and all who came out to watch were treated to free poutine from Smoke’s Poutinerie.

Screen legend Lauren Bacall dead at 89

Lauren Bacall, the slinky, sultry-voiced actress who created on-screen magic with Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep and off-screen magic in one of Holly-wood’s most storied mar-riages, died Tuesday at age 89.

Bacall, whose long ca-reer brought two Tonys and a special Oscar, died in New York. The managing partner of the Humphrey Bogart Es-tate, Robbert J.F. de Klerk, said that Bacall died at home, but declined to give further details. Bacall’s son Stephen Bogart confirmed his mother’s death to de Klerk.

She was among the last of the old-fashioned Holly-wood stars and her legend, and the legend of “Bogie and Bacall” — the hard-boiled couple who could fight and make up with the best of them — start-ed almost from the mo-ment she first appeared on screen.

A fashion model and bit-part New York actress be-fore moving to Hollywood at 19, Bacall achieved im-mediate fame in 1944 with one scene in her first film, To Have and Have Not.

Leaving Bogart’s ho-tel room, she murmured: “You don’t have to say any-thing, and you don’t have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.”

She was less than half Bo-gart’s age, yet as wise and as jaded as him. Her sly glance, with chin down and eyes raised, added to her fame; she was nicknamed “The Look.” Bogart and Bacall

married amid headlines in 1945, and they co-starred in three more films, The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947) and Key Largo (1948). Their marriage lasted until Bogart’s death from cancer in 1957.

She appeared in mov-ies for more than a half-century, but not until 1996 did she receive an Academy Award nomination — as supporting actress for The Mirror Has Two Faces. She lost to Juliette Binoche.

She finally got a statu-ette in November 2009 when she was presented with a special Oscar at the movie academy’s new Gov-ernors Awards gala.

“The thought when I get home that I’m going to have a two-legged man in my room is so exciting,” she quipped.

When the American Film Institute compiled its list of screen legends in 1999, Bacall ranked No. 20 on the roster of 25 actresses. Bogart topped the list of ac-tors.the aSSociated preSS

china. Zoo announces birth of rare panda tripletsChina announced Tuesday the birth of extremely rare panda triplets in a further success for the country’s artificial breeding program.

The three cubs were born July 29 in the southern city of Guangzhou, but breeders de-layed an announcement until they were sure all three would survive, the official China News Service said.

The mother, Ju Xiao, and the three as-yet-unnamed cubs are healthy, the news agency said. Photos showed the three sleeping and standing in their incubator, their bodies pink and mostly hairless. Ju Xiao was impregnated in March with sperm from a panda living at a Guangzhou zoo.

Ju Xiao was under round-the-clock care for the final weeks of her pregnancy, according to the report. The triplets were born within four hours of each other.

The report said the triplets were only the fourth known set to have been born in the world through artificial breeding pro-grams, but it wasn’t clear how many had survived from such births.

China has devoted major re-sources to increasing the num-bers of the country’s unofficial national mascot and regularly announces the birth of pandas born at zoos and at the Wolong breeding centre in the south-western province of Sichuan, where most wild pandas are found. the aSSociated preSS

Addiction seemed to stalk Robin Williams, tempting him when he was weak and taunting him when he least expected it.

“It lays in wait for the time when you think, ‘It’s fine now, I’m OK,’” he told Good Morning America in 2006. “Then, the next thing you know, it’s not OK. Then you realize, ‘Where am I? I didn’t realize I was in Cleveland.’”

Williams, the comic whirl-wind known for his hilarious stream-of-consciousness ramb-lings, was found dead Monday after the 63-year-old hanged himself in his San Francisco Bay Area home.

On film, he played every-thing from a genie to a psychia-

trist. In life, he battled periodic bouts of substance abuse and depression, opening up about them to journalists with self-deprecating wit and making his struggles fuel for his comedy.

“Cocaine for me was a place to hide,” he told People in 1988.

One of his first wake-up

calls was in 1982 when fellow comedian John Belushi died of a fatal drug overdose. Williams briefly partied with the Satur-day Night Live star the night he died and his friend’s pass-ing coupled with impending fatherhood forced the comed-ian to quit cocaine and alcohol

cold turkey.Sobriety lasted 20 years.

Then the taunts became over-whelming again. He told Pa-rade magazine in 2013 that his relapse after two decades of so-briety was frighteningly simple.

“One day I walked into a store and saw a little bottle of

Jack Daniel’s.... I drank it, and there was that brief moment of ‘Oh, I’m OK!’ But it escalated so quickly.”

Williams continued his re-covery by attending weekly AA meetings. But his second mar-riage, to film producer Marsha Garces, ended in 2008 — large-ly because of his drinking.

“You know, I was shameful, and you do stuff that causes dis-gust, and that’s hard to recover from.”

Recently, a new bout of de-pression prompted the actor to enter rehab. His publicist, Mara Buxbaum, said at the time that Williams made the decision because he needed to recharge after working for 18 months straight. On Monday, the strug-gle ended. The AssociATed Press

Apparent suicide

Authorities say Williams was found by assistant Authorities detailed Robin Williams’ final moments Tuesday, saying the actor and comedian hanged him-self with a belt in his San Francisco Bay Area home.

Marin County Sheriff’s Lt. Keith Boyd said Williams was last seen alive by his wife Sunday night when she went to bed. She woke up the next morning and left, thinking he was still asleep.

Afterward, Williams’ personal assistant came to the Tiburon home and became concerned when Williams failed to respond to knocks at a door. The as-sistant found the actor dead in a bedroom and called po-lice. Boyd said all evidence indicates Williams took his own life. But he said a final ruling will be made once toxicology reports and interviews with witnesses are complete.The AssociATed Press

Ford Nation

T.O. top cop Blair files suit against Doug FordToronto’s police chief has filed a defamation notice against Mayor Rob Ford’s brother for comments the city councillor made earlier this month.

Doug Ford suggested two weeks ago that Chief Bill Blair helped leak infor-mation that police were preparing to subpoena the mayor in an ongoing investigation as “payback,” although he declined to elaborate on what he meant.

At the time, Blair said Ford was lying and warned he was prepared to take legal action.

On Aug. 1, the Toronto Star cited sources saying police were preparing to subpoena the mayor to test-ify at a preliminary hearing for his friend Alessandro (Sandro) Lisi, who is facing drug and extortion charges.

Doug Ford blamed the apparent leak on Blair, call-ing it politically motivated. The Canadian Press

Canada’s self-styled “Prince of Pot” returned to a raucous welcome from supporters in Windsor, Ont., Tuesday after serving his U.S. sentence for selling marijuana seeds, vow-ing to continue his activism even if it means more arrests.

Loud cheers and large clouds of pot smoke arose as Marc Emery, 56, arrived in the border city after complet-ing his five-year sentence for selling marijuana seeds from Canada to American custom-ers.

Emery hugged his wife, Jodie Emery, who wants to run in next year’s federal elec-tion for the Liberals — Lead-er Justin Trudeau supports legalizing marijuana — then launched into a long, pro-Liberal speech peppered with

prison anecdotes.“I do believe that they are

sincere that they will legalize marijuana,” Emery said.

“I know it’s the most un-cool thing in the world to have to say, especially to young people, that voting is the answer, but it is. It abso-lutely is.”

Legalization of marijuana, which Emery said should in-clude expunging the record of everyone ever convicted of a related offence, is the only issue in the next election that can have a profound impact on Canadians’ lives, he said.

“Critics say, ‘Well, Can-adians are interested in far more important things,”’ Emery said. “I say, ‘What? What are you interested in? The economy? The environ-ment? Health care? You can’t do anything about that by vot-ing. No vote’s going to change that.’

“If we can get this Liberal majority government next year we’ll never need to go to the polls to make marijuana legal ever again,” he said.The Canadian Press

Egypt presents plan to end Gaza conflict: Palestinian officials

Egypt presented a proposed ceasefire to Israel and Hamas aimed at ending the month-long war, Palestinian officials said early Wednesday after ne-gotiators huddled for a second day of talks.

Palestinian officials told The Associated Press Wednesday that Egypt’s proposal calls for an easing to parts of the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Key areas of disagreement, however, includ-ing the Islamic militant group Hamas’ demand for a full lifting of the blockade and Israeli calls for Hamas to disarm, are left to later negotiations.

The Palestinian officials spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the negotiations with the media.

One of the Palestinian offi-cials who spoke to AP said that according to the Egyptian pro-posal, the blockade would be lifted gradually over time.

He said it would stipulate that Israel would end airstrikes on militants, and a 500-metre buffer zone next to the Gaza and Israel frontier would be re-duced over time.

The Israeli and Palestinian negotiating teams retired after 10 hours of discussions and will resume the talks on Wed-nesday, the officials said. The current ceasefire is set to expire at midnight. It was not immedi-ately clear if either side would accept the deal.

“The talks are difficult but

serious,” wrote Moussa Abu Marzouk, head of the Hamas delegation, on his Facebook page.

Another member of the Pal-estinian delegation reported Israel had offered a number of gestures aimed at improving life for Gaza’s residents, includ-ing an increase in the number of trucks permitted to deliver goods into the territory from Is-rael each day. ThE AssociATEd PrEss

Russian convoy

Aid must be delivered by Red Cross, Ukraine saysRussia dispatched hundreds of trucks covered in white tarps and sprinkled with holy water Tuesday on a mission to deliver aid to a rebel-held zone in eastern Ukraine.

The televised sight of the

miles-long convoy sparked a show of indignation from the government in Kyiv, which insisted any aid must be deliv-ered by the international Red Cross. Ukraine and the West have openly expressed con-cern that Moscow intends to use the cover of a humanitar-ian operation to embark on a military incursion in support of pro-Russia separatists.

Officials with both the International Committee of

the Red Cross and Ukraine’s government said they had no information about what the trucks were carrying or where they were headed. A Ukrain-ian security spokesman said the convoy was being managed by the Russian army and could not be allowed into the country. The govern-ment in Kyiv said the trucks could unload at the border and transfer the aid to ICRC vehicles. ThE AssociATEd PrEss

Casualties

The month-long Gaza war has killed more than 1,900 Palestinians, the majority of them civilians, according to Palestinian and UN officials. In Israel, 67 people have been killed — of those, all but three have been soldiers.

Plant waters rule in grocery aisles

Coconut water, maple water, even birch and cactus wat-ers…. A quick inventory of beverages in the produce sec-tion makes it clear — plant waters are rising.

Soda and non-fresh juice sales are flat or slipping slightly, but plant-based prod-ucts like coconut water — along with other alternative beverages such as kombucha and tea-based drinks — are growing, particularly those sold alongside your fruits and veggies, according to data compiled by market research firm Nielsen.

Introduced several years ago, coconut water has been big for a while. Maple water

is a newer entry and is es-sentially maple sap, the stuff that normally is boiled down to syrup. Brands include Ver-tical Water and SEVA. And that’s not the only tree water on the market. There’s also birch water and, on the plant side, cactus, barley and artichoke waters.

Sales of all waters, including the new products, “fitness” and enhanced wat-ers, as well as regular sparkling and still, grew four per cent by value and nearly seven per cent by volume since July 2013.

Coconut water is not yet being tracked specif-ically, but totals for beverages in the produce department, which is where much coconut water is sold, showed double-digit growth. The value jump

for all produce section bev-erages — which includes smoothies, fresh juices and teas as well as water — was

nearly 13 per cent.

Why the sudden thirst? Nutrition ex-

pert and r e g i s t e r e d dietitian Tina

R u g g i e r o sees it as a trend driv-en by the beverage in-dustry’s de-sire to find the next

big thing, as well as consumers’

interest in finding natural alternatives to soda. “This natural beverage market just presents a tremendous op-portunity,” she says. “There is a fight to create the next best-selling natural water.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Skip food to pay taxes?A new study says the average Canadian family is spending more on taxes than on food, shelter and clothing com-bined.

The Fraser Institute study says that in 2013, the aver-age Canadian family earned $77,381 and paid $32,369 in total taxes — or 41.8 per cent of income — compared with 36.1 per cent for food, shelter and clothing combined.

By comparison, in 1961 the average family earned about $5,000 and spent 56.5 per cent of its income on

food, shelter and clothing, while $1,675 went to taxes (33.5 per cent).

The study says the total tax bill represents both vis-

ible and hidden taxes paid to the federal, provincial and local governments. This includes income taxes, pay-roll taxes, health taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes, vehicle taxes, import taxes and alcohol and tobacco taxes.

The Fraser Institute says with more money going to the government, families have less for their spending priorities, less savings for education and retirement, and for paying down debt. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Tax pain gain

1,832%The Fraser institute says that since 1961, the average Canadian family’s total tax bill has increased by 1,832 per cent, mov-ing past increases in shelter costs (1,375 per cent), clothing (620 per cent) and food (546 per cent).

American airport taking greener route to solving deadly bird-strikes problemAn Ohio airport is experimenting with a new, gentler way to avoid bird strikes: planting tall prairie grass. Heavy birds like Canada geese — which caused us Airways Flight 1549 to force-land in the Hudson River in 2009 in the so-called Miracle on the Hudson — are believed to avoid long grasses because they fear predators might be hiding within. Dayton international Airport hopes to complete planting the tall prairie grass under the takeoff and landing paths by the end of this year. Phil inglis/getty imAges File

Toronto-born JT Singh teamed up with flow-motion videographer Rob Whitworth and tour operator Koryo Tours to provide a rather stunning look at a day in the life of Pyongyang, North Korea. Obviously, there are some extremely tight restrictions on filming in North Korea — even in the showcase capital — and the people involved in the project were dutifully watched over by guides employed by a shockingly cruel reign. But glimpses into North Korea are still very rare, especially ones so beautifully shot. (JT Singh/Vimeo)

Robin Williams was the greatest comedian who ever lived.

I don’t think there’s any doubt (fire) about that.

But that may be the most heartbreaking sentence I’ve ever written because of the “was.”

Robin Williams killed himself Monday, and I would like to believe that before he did it, he went through one last funny little mono-logue in his head about killing yourself on a Monday.

Maybe he wove a spell of threads and ideas about Stormy Monday or how the Geldof family didn’t like Mondays either or how — here’s the point — Tuesday’s just the same. And faced with that, he killed himself.

It’s impossible to believe that, no matter how depressed or addicted or stressed or whatever he was, his magnificent, improvising mind ever failed to rise to the chal-lenge of the material, even if it was his own death at his own

hand.I didn’t know Robin Williams, but he spoke to

me. He spoke to me as Mrs. Doubtfire, as Mork from Ork, as Peter Pan vs. Hook. As that ridiculous penguin in Happy Feet. He spoke to me as Oliver Sacks in Awakenings or Dr. Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, as Adrian Cronauer in …

Gooooooooood Morning Vietnam!He spoke to me as the raving, brilliant, prepos-

terous standup comedian who, with Craig Fergus-on as his accomplice, could spend 12 minutes wringing all the comic possibilities out of the word “chlamydia.” Even better, he could make golf funny in ways Bob Hope never imagined.

He spoke to me as the virtuoso genie from Aladdin, the high-water mark of Disney anima-tion.

Most of all, regardless of the role, he spoke the truth. No one was more subversive than Robin Williams because he was im-mune to censorship. He was too funny. He made the censors

laugh.He couldn’t help himself. He’d turn up on one of those cookie-

cutter late-night talk shows where everyone is all glib charm, and turn his guest spot, sandwiched between commercials, into a tour de force of the truth. Whatever the topic — sex, acting, ad-diction (especially his own) — he made it real. And very funny.

He couldn’t help himself: No one could stop him, so he stopped himself. So in the wake of the most glorious noise, the si-lence is deafening.

Except for this: a scene from the 1989 movie Dead Poets Soci-ety, where Williams is John Keating, an idealistic young teacher who brings the truth of poetry to young men at an uptight board-ing school. Keats is quoting Whitman: “‘Oh me! Oh life! Of the questions of these recurring. Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish. What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here — that life exists and identity. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.’

“What will your verse be?”Thank you, Robin, for asking the question, even if the answer

escaped your grasp.

The U.S. government says it will push back the closing time of an auction on New England’s tallest lighthouse.

The Boon Island Light Station is up for auction until Wednesday. Ten bidders have made off ers with a top bid of $41,000 US. It may be extended again.

Talk of building a lighthouse on Boon Island dates back as early as 1710 when a ship ran aground on the barren outcrop that makes up the island. The crew were forced to resort to cannibalism before being rescued.WIKIPEDIA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Island living

“Eight or nine miles out, in plain sight, Boon Island lifts its solitary shaft aloft like an ‘eternal exclamation mark’ to the temerity of its builders. There is no comfortable dwelling on that lonely rock, over which storms sweep unchecked. The tower is itself both house and home to the watchmen of the sea, and in great gales a prison from which there is no escape until the return of fi ne weather.” Samuel Adams Drake, writing in The Pine Tree Coast, 1891

Robin Williams died Monday in an apparent suicide. Williams was 63. MATT SAYLES/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

The first time I saw Robin Wil-liams was on 90 Minutes Live with Peter Gzowski, a Canadian late--night talk show that aired from 1976 to 1978. Thirty five years later I can still remember the frantic burst of energy that emanated from my television late that Friday night.

Gzowski grinned as the comic careened through their chat, jumping from joke to joke, impression to impres-sion, including Williams’s take on the world’s most in-telligent child. “I find most adults very banal, but I’ll talk to you, anyway.”

“Where did you get that character from?” Gzowski asked, “Was it based on any-one?”

“Me, basically. As a kid.”“Were you brilliant as a

child?”

“Yes, and as a young man, too,” replied the impish 27-year-old.

The standup comedians I had seen on television wore suits and told one-liners. This was stream of consciousness, a wild look at a comedic mind that didn’t work the way I was accustomed to them working. For six minutes it felt like an alien had taken control of my TV, a life force like I had never seen before.

Appropriately enough, soon afterward he appeared as Mork, the E.T. from Ork, on Happy Days and his career was officially launched.

For the next 35 years, Wil-liams was a constant on our screens, big and small. His first starring role in a movie, 1980’s Popeye, was met with critical scorn and weak box office, but Roger Ebert had praise for the star, calling Wil-liam’s “perpetual squint and lopsided smile” completely convincing.

Moving from strength to strength he embarked on a remarkable run of films, earn-ing the first of three Best Ac-tor Oscar nods for Good Mor-ning, Vietnam and winning an Academy Award for his work as an empathetic ther-apist in Good Will Hunting. A handful of Golden Globes

celebrated his work in Good Morning, Vietnam, The Fisher King and Mrs. Doubtfire.

He leaves behind a diverse legacy from the laughs of The Birdcage to the drama of Awakenings to the chills of One Hour Photo, the seize-the-day uplift of Dead Poets Society and the ad-libbed bril-liance of Aladdin. Every dec-ade since that appearance on 90 Minutes Live has given us a memorable Williams per-formance, and he will live, on the screen at least, with three more films scheduled for re-lease this year and next.

Everyone has a favourite Robin Williams character. For me its Parry, the treasure hunter in The Fisher King. It’s a funny, bittersweet perform-ance in a movie that mixes

fantasy and reality in equal doses. “I’m a knight on a spe-cial quest,” Parry says, words

Before most of us learned to talk, we learned to share. It’s a lesson we learned from parents at home, teachers in the classroom, and friends on the playground. Now that we are grown up, we are in charge of our own assets, yet so many organizations want our money. It can be time-consuming and confusing to figure out who will do the most with what we give.

To a responsible citizen with a desire to

change the world, knowing how to give ef-fectively matters. Shine Dental wants you to feel confident in knowing that a portion of the money you spend is being reinvested into its Shine The Light Initiative. The organiza-tion assists people in impoverished countries who are facing immense challenges in their lives. Dr. Brent Wong has personally been on more than 25 trips since 2005.

Feel confident in knowing that every

visit you make to Shine, you are indirectly investing in the livelihood of those who are much less fortunate. We don’t need massive wealth to be charitable.

Remember, it’s not the size of the coffer that counts, it’s how you use it.

As head Expendable, Sylves-ter Stallone has never been one for too much humility, and given the success of his Grumpy Old Men with Guns franchise, he has no need to be. That can lead to some pretty impressive statements from Sly. Here are some of our favourites from his Ex-pendables 3 press tour.

On whether he has considered retirement“Why? I’m not ready to sit at home and play with Pom-eranians 12 hours a day,” he insists. “I’m just not ready. Remember in old Vaudeville, there was a cane that came out and snatched you off the stage? Well, I’m waiting for

that. Until they just hook me off the stage, that’s it.”

On working with new, younger cast members“I remember the first time

I came out here. I was like these guys,” Stallone rumin-ates. “I get on the elevator and there’s Paul Newman. And you’re not prepared for it. You think you’re prepared

for it. And then you wonder if they feel the same way about us. I’m sure they do.”

On the departure of Bruce Willis from the franchise

“What happened with Bruce Willis? Well, things didn’t work out and then Harrison Ford came along,” Stallone explains. “It’s just the way it is. It’s nothing personal. It

sounded like it got personal and I’m sorry it did sound that way, but it was just ac-tors talking and things move on.”

On opening opposite Sin City: a Dame to Kill For, which features Willis“Oh, Sin City?” Stallone laughs. “I must crush you.”

On aging in general“Age is a state of ‘old’ mind. It gets to a point where if you get old enough you forget how old you are, and that’s the best thing,” he says. “You walk around, kind of like in a fog. So you really don’t know how old you are until you find yourself watching The Teletubbies drunk one night and you’re like, ‘I’m really f—ed up.’

Paris not as bright as the button she’s pushing to rake in $347K/hr

Are Paris Hilton’s retweets a form of protest or a sign of total self-delusion? Ask-ing for a friend. OK, here’s the deal: Word spread quickly this week about how much the hotel heiress and sex-tape entrepreneur pulls down for her work as a DJ in Ibiza this summer — and she’s pulling down a lot. “She’s making $2.7 mil-lion from the four nights — $347,000 an hour,” a source tells the Sun. “The crowds do seem to enjoy it, but most are too off their faces to care that she’s simply pressed play on a Beyoncé mega-mix.” Or maybe their expectations of Hilton’s abilities are so low that they’re actually blown

away by her button-press-ing abilities. But that’s be-side the point. As versions of this story have been popping up online, Hilton has been actively retweet-

ing them in a seeming act of braggadocio. Here’s the thing, though: She seems to be missing the point that this is not being reported as a good thing.

Twisted Dune Golf Club boasts a great layout and within driving distance of the city. COURTESY TWISTED DUNE GOLF CLUB

Atlantic City takes a swing at golf

Atlantic City is doubling down on golf.

Back when casinos along the famous Boardwalk were booming, the 20 public courses on this stretch of the south New Jersey coast went almost unnoticed. But the re-cession and stiff competition from dozens of new casinos throughout the U.S. north-east have slashed revenues and changed the city’s tour-ism focus.

Golf and other non-gam-ing attractions such as shop-ping, dining, concerts and amusement parks are being heavily promoted as part of a $30-million ‘DO AC’ cam-paign.

The game’s local roots date to the 1887 opening of the Atlantic City Country Club, which still ranks as the area’s marquee course. Native grasses and tidal marshes de-fine a classic layout originally designed by Willie Park Jr., the British Open champion in 1887 and 1889.

Six USGA championships have been played here, but the club’s real claim to fame is as the birthplace of the golf term “birdie” in 1903. Fre-quent celebrity visitors have included Bob Hope, boxing champion Joe Louis and Ar-nold Palmer, who made it his home course while serving

nearby in the Coast Guard in the 1950s.

Other top layouts within an easy drive of Atlantic City include Twisted Dune Golf Club, Shore Gate Golf Club, McCullough’s Emer-ald Golf Links, Harbor Pines Golf Club, Sand Barrens Golf Club, Running Deer Golf Club and Blue Heron Pines Golf Club.

At the Vineyards, golfers play through the grounds of Renault Winery, established in 1864 and one of the oldest wineries in the United States.

And the fairways of Sea-view Golf Resort’s venerable Bay Course — the host of the LPGA Tour’s ShopRite Clas-sic and where Sam Snead

famously won the 1942 PGA Championship — offer views across Reeds Bay of the casino towers of a city in transition.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has made

revitalizing Atlantic City a key priority of his adminis-tration. New parks, art in-stallations and landscaping have been added through-out the downtown area,

and the Boardwalk has been cleaned up and opened up by the casinos, some of which once tried to restrict access to the waterfront to keep customers inside.

Opened in 2012, the splashy highrise Revel Ca-sino Hotel has dramatically altered the Atlantic City sky-line. The $2.4-billion resort is home to a Las Vegas-style concert space featuring head-liners such as Dionne War-wick, the Barenaked Ladies and Natalie Cole.

Gaming industry giant Golden Nugget Inc. has taken over management of the former Trump Marina Hotel Casino, pouring $150 mil-lion into renovations. And Caesars Entertainment Corp. is investing $150 million in a meeting and conference fa-cility at its Harrah’s Atlantic City location.

But perhaps the best news — apart from the new focus on golf, of course — was the return last September of the Miss America pageant after six years in archrival Las Vegas. The pageant, a lo-cal institution since 1920, is regarded as an important showcase for the recent civic improvements.

The odds on Atlantic City’s recovery are looking better all the time.

Beyond casinos. Luring players to the town’s links is all part of a $30-million plan to showcase all this destination has to off er

For the family

Family-friendly options range from minigolf and paintball to the Atlantic City Aquarium. But a long-time local favourite is Steel Pier, an amusement park that juts into the ocean from the boardwalk and has more than 25 extreme rides. Opened in 1898, the park is undergoing a $100-million makeover.

Enjoy a fun picnic dinner with your family by mak-ing it less fussy and more simple to put together.

Using a few basic in-gredients you can take something that’s old and tired, and change it up to become a new picnic fa-vourite.

These kabobs are made with ground beef, but you can use any ground meat your family enjoys, includ-ing ground turkey, chicken, pork or veal.

If you are feeling a bit adventurous look for lean ground bison in local butch-ers to shake up your picnic recipe.

Get your kids to help out and shape the kabobs.

Whether they are served hot-dog style in a bun or straight up as meatballs, the best part is dipping them!

My kids like to leave the bun behind and dip in sauces or condiments you may already have.

Pick up mini potatoes, steam or boil them for about eight minutes just until they are tender, then put them on a kabob as well.

You can also roll the mix-ture into 24 meatballs and skewer onto small soaked

wooden or metal skewers alternating with 18 grape tomatoes.

Other veggies that work well include two small zucchini, cut in chunks or 18 small gourmet button mushrooms. Either way, cook the kabobs as the re-cipe directs.

Kids and adults alike will love the versatility and sim-plicity of this recipe.

And don’t forget dessert. With some fruit and per-haps a few marshmallows you can skewer up a sweet treat for the family.

Be sure to have some chocolate nearby if you want to dip into something a bit more sweet. Caramel, hot fudge or strawberry sauces will also match up perfectly.

1. In large bowl combine beef, coriander, garlic, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper until well distributed.

2. Divide mixture into 6 and shape each into about a 10-cm (4-inch) hot-dog shape. Place on foil-lined baking sheet and bake in 190 C (375 F) oven for about 15 minutes or until no long-er pink inside.

3. Place in small hot dog buns and wrap up to go. This recipe serves six. While the kabobs pictured here are skewered, this recipe works just as well when the meat is

shaped into a “hot dog.” The choice is yours. emily richards

Continuing Education’s Fall 2014 Course Schedule is Available Now!

Social media is a field with a lot to offer a recent grad or new professional..

While you may already have extensive skills using different social media plat-forms in your personal life, don’t assume you can do well in an interview just by show-ing up.

Every organization has different goals and expecta-tions of their social media presence, so it’s impossible to predict exactly what kinds of questions you’ll encounter in an interview.

However, there are a num-ber of common topics that are almost certain to come up when you’re interviewing for a role that involves social media. Planning to discuss these areas of your experi-ence is a great way to get your interview prep started.

Your experience with different platformsTo be the in-house expert on social media, you’ll need to demonstrate extensive knowledge of common plat-forms — and the skills to pick up new ones as needed.

Interviewers will often

ask questions that pertain specifically to one platform or another, even posing specific scenarios related to social media use.

Personal use of social media is very different from business social media use. Make sure you research and understand the strategy in-volved with each platform, and be prepared to apply your knowledge to the em-ployer’s questions.

Tip: Your future employer has probably checked out your social media footprint. If there are major platforms you don’t use very often (or at all), make sure to indicate

why — and show that you still understand their role and effective use.

Your understanding of analyticsProviding concrete results matters in every role, and social media is no exception.

To show an employer that you’re equipped for the job, you’ll need to demonstrate that you know how to meas-ure results, use different metrics to draw conclusions and make recommendations based on data.

When you discuss a specif-ic situation, project or cam-paign that you handled in the past, don’t just describe your ideas or how entertain-ing they were — highlight how you used data to guide your decisions and measure your success.

In your personal life, you probably don’t use data to guide your social media use. In the professional world,

understanding the numbers will back up that you know what you’re doing.

Tip: Bring examples of cam-paigns or posts you have published in the past and the results they garnered (make sure to have some kind of comparison or benchmark).

Your writing skillsSome interviewers will ask you to complete an onsite writing test, or request a writing sample as part of the screening process.

The ability to function under pressure is a key social media skill, so you’ll need to be ready to produce polished work on the spot.

Make a strong impression during your interview by bringing some relevant writ-

ing samples you can provide as needed. If your work has been published online, this is a great way to underscore your past experience and success.

If you don’t have any pub-lished work online, starting a blog or personal website to showcase your writing is a great way to get started.

Tip: An organization’s so-cial media profiles will use specific language, phrasing and tone. Make sure you understand these features and can replicate them with ease.

Get the news as it happens

You’re only a college or uni-versity student for a few short years, then you are sent off into the wonderful world of work, work and more work.

Many students get so caught up in post-secondary educa-tion that they focus solely on classes and assignments, forget-ting that this is a prime time to gain valuable experience that may help you land a job after graduation.

Why should you get in-volved? It’s a great way to meet new people, network, and build your resumé. Here are some of the best ways to get involved on campus, wherever you are.

Check out your

career centreThis is the optimal place to start. Most institutions have an on-campus career centre, which can help prepare an ex-ceptional application, offer you job-hunt guidance and connect you with on-campus events.

Don’t assume that the re-sources at the career centre

are only for those close to graduation. There’s value in connecting with the centre at every stage of your education and school-to-work transition.

Tip: A little intimidated? Make a list of some general goals you’d like your career centre to help you with. Then look for resour-ces that match your interests.

Participate in clubs or associationsThis is the best way for you to start getting involved, particu-larly if you’re a new student (or a little reluctant to put yourself out there).

Finding a club that matches your interests or hobbies is a great way to meet new people and explore a personal passion.

Over time, you can move into a leadership role with your club, which can involve manag-ing finances, organizing events and other activities that you can use as relevant professional experience when you’re look-ing to land a job.

Tip: Can’t find a club or group that interests you? Start your own. That’s a great way to dem-

onstrate initiative and leader-ship.

Join your student unionYour on-campus student union usually offers a number of ways for you to get involved. These opportunities can include part-time jobs, elected student pos-itions and volunteer opportun-ities.

Roles in your student union often offer real responsibility — and empower you to make significant changes or improve-ments to existing practices, or develop entirely new projects.

This experience can be in-valuable when you’re prepar-ing your resumé for the school-to-work transition.

Tip: Research where former student leaders from your school have gone after gradua-tion. Reach out and ask them to share their insight. You’ll likely find many of them used their student-union experience to land an entry-level job.

The joy of the join. Your on-campus involvement will help you get set for success once your schooling has come to an end

Argonauts running back Steve Slaton rumbles past the Blue Bombers’ Ian Wild on Tuesday night in Toronto. CHRIS YOUNG/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Pleasant return to T.O.? No way O’Shea

Ricky Ray threw four touch-down passes to lead the To-ronto Argonauts past the Win-nipeg Blue Bombers 38-21 on Tuesday night.

Ray finished 26-of-33 pass-ing for 297 yards to earn To-ronto (3-4) its second straight win for a four-point lead atop the East Division standings.

But the Argos don’t have much time to relish the victory, be-fore an announced season-high Rogers Centre gathering of 18,106, as they’re back in ac-tion Sunday night hosting the B.C. Lions (4-3).

It was sweet redemption for Toronto, which dropped a season-opening 45-21 loss in Winnipeg. And Ray engineered the impressive victory without regular receivers Andre Durie (clavicle), Chad Owens (foot), Jason Barnes (knee), John Chiles (hamstring) and her-alded rookie Anthony Coombs (shoulder).

Winnipeg (5-3) suffered its second straight loss follow-ing a 23-17 home defeat to Saskatchewan on Thursday. It also spoiled Bombers coach Mike O’Shea’s return to Rogers Centre.

O’Shea spent 16 seasons as a player and coach with Toron-to — winning four Grey Cups — before being hired by Win-nipeg in the off-season.

Ray cemented the victory with a 32-yard touchdown pass to Spencer Watt that rounded out the scoring at 11:35 of the fourth. Ray put Toronto ahead 28-21 just 58 seconds into the quarter with a 15-yard touch-down pass to Curtis Steele after Cleyon Laing recovered former Argo Romby Bryant’s fumble at the Winnipeg 49-yard line.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Death of Kevin Ward Jr.

Stewart not yet in clear despite no criminal intentTony Stewart could still face criminal charges for running down Kevin Ward Jr. with his sprint car, even if the three-time NASCAR champion didn’t mean to kill Ward, hurt him or even scare him.

Initial findings of the in-vestigation have turned up nothing that would indicate criminal intent in the crash, but legal experts agree that does not mean Stewart is in the clear.

Stewart could be charged with second-degree manslaughter under New York law if prosecutors believe he “recklessly caused the death of another person,” with negligent homicide another possibil-ity, according to criminal law professor Corey Rayburn Yung of the Kansas University School of Law.

Liverpool says it has reached an agreement with Sevilla for the transfer of defender Alberto Moreno.

The Premier League club confirmed the impending move for the 22-year-old, after he was withdrawn from the Se-villa squad for its 2-0 defeat to

Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup final on Tuesday.

Moreno will travel to Mer-seyside for a medical and is set to become the Reds’ eighth summer signing.

Encarnacion poised to return to flock

With one sweet swing, Ed-win Encarnacion showed the Toronto Blue Jays what they hope to be getting back soon.

After missing more than a month with a strained right quadriceps muscle, Encar-nacion is close to rejoining the Blue Jays in the middle of their playoff chase. Now on a min-or-league rehab stint with the triple-A Buffalo Bisons, Encar-nacion is one step away, and on Tuesday night he showed evidence of his progress by hitting a first-pitch, no-doubt grand slam.

Encarnacion, who led off as the designated hitter, went 1 for 4 with the grand slam, a fly out, a pop up and a ground out.

“It’s not necessarily what he does here, it’s what he does when he gets back to Toronto, and they obviously need him,” Bisons manager Gary Allenson said before the game. “It’s ob-viously a bat that they can’t wait to get back in the lineup.”

The plan is for Encarnacion to play two more games with the Bisons before meeting up with the Blue Jays on Friday in Chicago. Despite missing the past month, the 31-year-old still leads the team in home runs (26) and trails only Jose Bautista in runs batted in (70).

After taking his cuts in indoor batting practice, En-carnacion’s first contact of the game was a fly out to left. But his second showed off the right-handed power stroke the Blue Jays could desper-ately use.

With the bases loaded in the second inning, Encar-nacion saw a first-pitch fast-ball from Norfolk Tides starter Steve Johnson and smacked it over the left-field fence. That

certainly validated his pre-game confidence.

“I feel great,” Encarnacion said on the Bisons’ radio broadcast. “I’m just trying to get my timing back and get ready here for getting back to the big leagues and to my team.” The cAnAdiAn Press

Market position

Designed to be an EV for both early adopters and mainstream compact car buyers. Unlike its competitors, the Leaf was designed from the ground up as an EV. It is now the global leader in EV sales, with a 45-per-cent market share.

2015 Nissan Leaf

• Type: Five-door, front-wheel-drive compact hatchback

• Engine: 80 kW AC electric motor with 24 kW Lithium-ion battery (equivalent to 107 hp)

• Transmission: Automatic (single-speed gear reducer)

• Base price: $33,788

Sowing the seeds of doubt

A lot of folks, on both sides of the consumer/automaker fence, don’t think this elec-tric-vehicle thing has legs. Many automakers are send-ing mixed messages. Toyota has even announced that it’s done selling pure EVs.

But you know what? New models keep showing up. The number of people buy-ing and considering them is rising. And EVs remain one surefire way for automakers to achieve the very strict fuel-efficiency regulations coming down the pike in the U.S.

Net result: EVs have put down serious roots. So it’s time to think of them as less of a novelty and more as just another alternative that may or may not fit your lifestyle.

When it launched the Leaf in 2011, Nissan went out of its way to make non-believers

comfortable, with a modern (but not too space-shippy) exterior, and ride and hand-ling characteristics similar to what small-car drivers expect.

Along the way, the com-pany added a new, lower-priced base model and re-duced prices across the board by $3,000. It also gave the Leaf a faster charger, which reduced 220-volt charge time to five hours from seven.

It took awhile to gain

traction, but Nissan has now sold more than 125,000 Leafs around the world and is on pace to sell about 100 a month in Canada, where Quebec is the best market by far. Alberta? Not so much.

While recently testing a 2015 model, I was again re-minded how normal this car feels. The only thing that separates it from similar gas-powered hatchbacks is its si-lent running and above-aver-

age acceleration. The electric motor offers the equivalent of 107 horsepower, but the instant and full torque of electric propulsion translates into good jump whenever you hammer the go-pedal.

Leaf drivers can even use the Internet or a smartphone to control air conditioning, set charging functions, and access data like the charge status of their rides. Like the Leaf itself, it’s the future.

Review. Nissan Leaf EV may seem futuristic, but it looks, handles and is starting to sell like a regular small car

[email protected]

As a five-door hatchback, the Leafis a very practical compact car.
