Renovating? We’ve got
the Solutions
Halifax regional council-lors have made one major change to a proposed patio bylaw, asked for more infor-mation about another and will send the whole thing to a public hearing next month for more input be-fore second reading.
Council unanimously ap-proved the first reading of the Sidewalk Café Bylaw on Tuesday, but took action to address two points of con-cern.
The first was a proposal to increase the required
liability insurance from $2 million to $5 million for any patio where alcohol is served.
Coun. Reg Rankin tabled an amendment to reduce that figure to $3 million.
“I know there’s a number of restaurants along Argyle that are hurting … So I’m not going to contribute to more hardship,” said Ran-kin, citing staff information that premiums could rise by up to $2,000 for larger res-taurants with the increase in the overall limit.
Council also approved a request from Coun. Waye Mason for a supplementary staff report on a tiered fee structure or possible sub-sidies for small patios.
The bylaw currently calls for a flat fee of $800 for any patio involving a structure on the municipal right-of-way. Mason said that could be prohibitive for business-es with small patios, such as the Company House with a 12-seat patio that cost $300.
“(Owner) Mary Ann Daye emailed us and said … ‘If it goes to $800, for 12 people that starts to be a problem for me,’” he said.
Council also voted, after extensive debate, to send the entire bylaw to a public hearing before second read-ing.
The vote was close, with opponents concerned a public hearing would delay final approval of the bylaw too long for some operators to obtain permission under the new rules to keep their patios open through the winter.
Coun. Bill Karsten said those operators need clarity about whether to proceed with removing their patios as usual, or leaving them in place.
“People don’t just go out and grab a hammer and say, ‘I’ll tear this down,’” he said. “They have contractors that have to be hired, they have to have people booked.”
After the hearing was approved, Mason said after the discussion the possibil-ity of extending the licences for a handful of restaurants seeking year-round patios would be discussed at the next council meeting in two weeks.

Nine months after an ex-haustive debate over pro-posed changes to HRM solid waste bylaws, regional coun-cillors debated the changes again and made one more modification.
Council gave first reading Tuesday to three proposed
changes approved in January, and approved a public hear-ing on the other two: To re-duce the number of garbage bags allowed for biweekly curbside pickup from six to four, and to require those bags to be clear rather than black or green.
During the debate, Coun. Darren Fisher tabled an amendment to eliminate the proposal for one dark privacy bag to be “nested” in each clear garbage bag.
“You could take a dark black or green bag, fill it right up and then just put it in a snug, clear bag and you are fulfilling the rules of the bylaw,” he said.
Council approved his alternate idea to allow one large green or black bag for curbside pickup.
A more hard-fought de-bate was over Coun. Stephen Adams’ proposal to leave the curbside bag limit at six because of the possibility it wouldn’t further reduce the amount of trash going to a landfill.
“If 20 per cent of people are not complying with a re-quirement for six bags, and
80 per cent do ... why change it? Why aggravate the other 20 per cent?” said Coun. David Hendsbee, saying the reduced limit could lead to illegal dumping or foisting extra bags onto neighbours’ properties.
“Just going to clear bags will probably make them more compliant,” he said.
Advocates for the reduced limit said the public deserves to have a say on the idea.
“Definitely there are some
people that are absolutely adamant that we shouldn’t change anything, but there’s far more people who think we should be being very aggressive and visionary about this,” said Coun. Waye Mason. “So my feeling is that we want to go and test the waters on four bags.”
The public hearing — on allowing four bags per house-hold, one of them black or green — will likely take place at the end of November.

Slow and steady... Police intervene after traffic reduced to turtle’s paceCole Harbour drivers wit-nessed RCMP engaging in a bit of a shell game recently.
According to a release, Halifax RCMP were called to the intersection of Main Street at Forest Hills around 12:50 p.m. Monday to find the reason for heavy traffic congestion.
Officers witnessed a “large angry snapping turtle” mak-
ing its way slowly along the shoulder of the roadway.
RCMP snapped into ac-tion. Using a tool and supply box from the trunk, the offi-cers safely trapped the reptile and took it to Cranberry Lake, where it was released back into the wild.
Traffic quickly returned to “normal flow” after the slow mover was removed. Metro
Halifax police have laid a slew of charges, including attempted murder, in relation to a violent home invasion on Sunday, thanks to a tip from the public that police say “broke the case.”
Halifax Regional Police re-sponded to a break-and-enter in the 0-100 block of Bonita Drive in Dartmouth early Sunday morning. They found a 75-year-old homeowner suffering from severe facial injuries after two men struck him with his own rifle and fled with weapons.
Police say an anonymous tipster phoned Monday, leading officers to find a gun inside an apartment in the 2400 block of Gottingen Street in Halifax.
“That’s what broke the case,” said spokesman Const. Pierre Bourdages on Tuesday.
Police also arrested a suspect in the 5500 block of Bloomfield Street after finding a loaded handgun from the break-and-
enter. Officers then went to the 100 block of Lacewood Drive, where they arrested another suspect seen carrying firearms wrapped in a blanket.
Tyrone Nelson Francis, 20, of Timberlea faces more than a dozen charges, including at-tempted murder, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and break-and-enter to steal a firearm. Eliahs Knudsen Kent, 22, of Halifax faces most of the same. Police are investigating how suspects knew there were weapons in the Dartmouth home. Haley ryan/Metro

Firefighters respond to a gas leak on Gaston Road in Dartmouth Tuesday. Jeff Harper/Metro
Hundreds of homes and busi-nesses were evacuated Tues-day after a city construction crew punctured a gas line in Dartmouth, causing a strong smell of natural gas to flood the neighbourhood.
A six-inch gas main under Gaston Road was punctured just before 8:30 a.m. as crews lowered the pipe while work-
ing on a paving and water project, said HRM spokesman Brendan Elliott.
Heritage Gas was on scene right away. Elliott said some workers measured the amount of natural gas in the environment, while others pinched the line in both dir-ections to stop gas from get-ting to the break.
About 550 businesses and homes on Gaston Road and its side streets were evacu-ated until 1 p.m. while crews worked to cut off the gas and replace the pipe.
Elliott said Halifax Tran-sit buses were brought in to shelter residents for the four hours.
All pedestrian and vehicle traffic was diverted from the area until about 12:40 p.m., when HRM said the only part that needed to stay closed was Gaston Road from Portland Street to MacRae Avenue.
Elliott said they were lucky the wind didn’t change,
or a much larger area might have had to be evacuated.
Prince Arthur Junior High, Southdale-North Woodside School and a daycare were asked to keep children inside until the leak was contained. WitH fileS froM tHe Canadian PreSS

The Crown attorney’s office in Truro is planning to withdraw an animal-cruelty charge in a cat-killing case from the sum-mer.
The Truro Police Service issued a press release Tuesday after being advised about the upcoming withdrawal. The charge “resulted from the senseless and tragic death of a cat on Fairview Drive.”
Police investigated the July 12 incident and determined that “reasonable and probable grounds existed” to charge Stephen Gregory Tynes, 29.
Tynes, originally from Truro but now living in Hali-fax, was in court Sept. 15 and entered a not-guilty plea.
“The Crown advised that, upon reviewing this file, they determined the likelihood of
a conviction was not met,” said the release. truro daily neWS

The ‘coolest job’ in Halifax

After a year’s search across North America for the new CEO of the Halifax Public Libraries, Åsa Kachan was chosen for the role her 12-year-old son calls “the coolest job” in the city.
Kachan, who has been assist-ant vice-president of enrolment management and registrar at Dalhousie University for the past 10 years, was announced as the new chief librarian and CEO Tuesday.
“(She) is actually a tre-mendous find for us, but we didn’t have to look as far as we thought,” Paul Bennett, chair of Halifax Regional Library Board, said during the Alderney Gate Public Library event on Tues-day.
Bennett said the search com-mittee narrowed the field from 120 to 30, then short-listed five candidates and Kachan “won us all over.”
“This is a dream come true
really for me,” Kachan, 48, said during the event.
Although she has spent the last 10 years at Dalhousie as registrar, and six before that at the University of Saskatoon, Kachan started out in the Saskatchewan public library system after completing her masters of library and informa-tion science at the University of Western Ontario.
When Kachan told her 12-year-old son she was con-sidered for the job, she said he was very excited — along with her two teenage daughters.
“He said, ‘Mom, that is the coolest job in all of Halifax,’” Ka-chan said as the crowd laughed.
Kachan, whose family moved from Sweden to Sas-katchewan when she was young, said she made sure to reach out to the recruiting team because many in Halifax didn’t know about her library background.
“I care so much for (Dal-housie) and I have great col-leagues across the institution, but this is another way for me to serve Halifax,” Kachan told reporters.
She said a priority for her is getting to know all branches’ challenges and specialties be-fore starting on a strategic plan for the next five to 10 years.

Gordie Gosse announced at the end of April that he had been diagnosed with cancer. Over the past month, he’s been at-tending events and resuming his duties, and he has already returned to Halifax for the fall session.
MacLeod, MLA for Sydney River-Mira-Louisbourg, lost his left foot to infection in August and has been in hospital for
the past eight weeks. Although he’s just been moved to a re-habilitation facility in Sydney Mines, he plans to be in Hali-fax for the speech from the throne.

Obama: World must fight ‘global threat’ of climate change
In the first international test for his climate-change strategy, U.S. President Barack Obama pressed world leaders Tuesday to follow the United States' lead on the issue, even as a United Nations summit revealed the many obstacles that still stand in the way of wider agree-ments.
“The United States has made ambitious investments in clean energy and ambitious reductions in our carbon emis-sions,” Obama said. “Today I call on all countries to join us,
not next year or the year after that, but right now. Because no nation can meet this global threat alone.”
But none of the pledges made at Tuesday's one-day meeting was binding. The sum-mit, part of the annual UN Gen-eral Assembly, was designed to lay the groundwork for a new global climate-change treaty. It also revealed the sharp differ-ences that divide countries on matters such as deforestation, carbon pollution and methane leaks from oil and gas produc-tion.
“Today we must set the world on a new course,” said United Nations Secretary-Gen-eral Ban Ki-Moon. “Climate change is the defining issue of our age. It is defining our present. Our response will de-fine our future.”
In some ways, the climate
summit answered that call.The European Union said its
member nations next month were set to approve a plan that would cut greenhouse gases back to 40 per cent below 1990 levels by 2030. The EU also called for using renewable energy for 27 per cent of the bloc's power needs and increas-ing energy efficiency by 30 per cent.
More than 150 countries set the first-ever deadline to end deforestation by 2030, but that goal was thrown into doubt when Brazil said it would not join. Forests are important because they absorb the main greenhouse gas, carbon diox-ide. The United States, Canada and the entire European Union signed onto a declaration to halve forest loss by 2020 and eliminate deforestation entire-ly by 2030. the assOciated press

‘Fully committed’
Canada ‘taking decisive action’Canada made two main commitments at the UN cli-mate summit Tuesday. One was to match American vehicle-emissions standards; the other, to curb the use of HFC coolants.
Canada's environment minister said her govern-ment would be releasing details on a plan to reduce hydrofluorocarbons.
“Let me be clear, Canada is fully committed to achieving a strong and ef-fective global climate agree-ment in Paris next year,” said the prepared text of Leona Aglukkaq's remarks.
“Both domestically and internationally we are demonstrating this commit-ment. We are not waiting to act. We are taking decisive action to ensure Canada remains a leader and contributes its part to this global cause.”the canadian press
canada gives its support to strikes against isis in syriaCanada added its support Tues-day to U.S. and Arab airstrikes on militant targets inside Syria, but is not involved militarily.
A senior government of-ficial, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Canada has made no military contribution to the air offen-sive, which for the first time targeted the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) on Syr-ian territory.
Canada has 69 special forces advisers in Iraq and has offered two military transport planes to deliver humanitarian assist-ance to displaced civilians and weapons to the Kurdish fight-ers in northern Iraq who are facing ISIS on the ground.
A spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Canada supports this week’s U.S.-led military action.
“Canada is united with our allies in recognizing the need to address this barbaric terror-ist threat and we will not stand idly by while (ISIS) continues its murder of innocent civilians and religious minorities,” said spokesman Adam Hodge.
Canada’s position towards the fast-moving events in the region continues to evolve.
Baird attended a ministerial
meeting of the United Nations Security Council last week, where he added Canada’s sup-port for a broader international effort to topple ISIS, which has seized territory in Iraq and Syria.
After the session, Baird stopped short of endorsing mil-itary action against ISIS inside Syria, saying Canada was still considering its position.
The Pentagon said the air-strikes, which began late Mon-day and continued into Tues-day, will continue in what said would be a “persistent” cam-paign to degrade and destroy
ISIS’s capability.Five Arab nations have
joined the U.S. in launching strikes in eastern Syria.
“We’re going to do what’s necessary to take the fight to this terrorist group, for the se-curity of the country and the re-gime and for the entire world,” said U.S. President Barack Obama as he left Washington for the UN in New York.

Netflix defies CRTC, but PM gets the blame
One of the hottest dramas to hit the fall season isn’t on your TV screen — it’s hap-pening behind the scenes in a battle of wills between the country’s fastest-growing video supplier and Canada’s broadcast regulator.
Netflix has told the Can-adian Radio-television and Telecommunications Com-mission it won’t turn over sensitive corporate informa-tion, despite being ordered to do so at a hearing last Friday.
The move calls into ques-
tion the very authority of the broadcast regulator to institute any rules governing Internet-based video service providers, says new media ex-pert Michael Geist.
And the Prime Minister’s Office is being blamed for forcing the regulator into a corner.
Industry watchers say Netflix is standing up to the CRTC after being emboldened by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has said his gov-ernment will not allow levies against online video services to help pay for production of Canadian content — some-thing he has referred to as a “Netflix tax.”
By inappropriately inter-fering in the CRTC hearings, the Harper Conservatives may have already rendered the regulator toothless, said Op-position heritage critic Pierre Nantel. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Talko the town: A voice message app
Longtime technology guru Ray Ozzie wants to bring back the emotions of the human voice to phones.
His mission began more than two years ago as Ozzie no-ticed people were increasingly communicating through texts, emails and social media posts instead of calling each other.
“When you see nothing but words and numbers, it be-comes very mechanical and very transactional,” Ozzie said in an interview.
“But when you hear the sound of someone’s voice, it really brings it much closer to
home.”Ozzie, 58, Microsoft’s for-
mer chief software architect, hopes to orchestrate voice’s comeback through Talko, a mo-bile application being released Tuesday for the iPhone. A ver-sion for Android phones is ex-pected in a few months.
Talko sends the equivalent of text messages in the form of a spoken word. Talko users can record a voice message and send it over the Internet to anyone else with the app. Re-cipients listen to the recording when it’s convenient, rather than being interrupted by a traditional phone call.
All messages will be stored for 10 days, though users can buy a subscription — expected to be $5 to $9 US per month — to permanently store messages. For the first few months, Talko will store all voice recordings for free. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bankruptcy trial. U.S. had ‘incredibly important’ role in Nortel Networks’ successIt’s a fallacy to think of Nor-tel Networks as just a Canadian company and that its intellec-tual property was created solely in Canada, a lawyer for its U.S. subsidiary said Tuesday at a cross-border bankruptcy trial that will decide how remaining assets are shared among credit-ors.
“I think we can all agree now that Nortel was actually a multinational enterprise, global
in nature, with separate corpor-ate entities, separate groups of creditors spread around the world,” said James Bromley from Wilmington, Del., by videolink. “The U.S. role was incredibly important, particularly during the glory days … from the mid ‘90s to the 2000s, at which time U.S. R&D was just short of the same amount of R&D that was being conducted in Canada.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Man-lion love at its finest
Conservationist Valentin Gruener is a serial star of heartwarming man-lion love stories, but his latest reunion with Sirga, a lioness he helped raise as a cub, at Botswana’s Modisa Wildlife Project really takes the cake. I’m a card-carrying cat-lover, but the idea of being so friendly with something that could kill me with an affectionate mistake still gives me the old jelly legs. (J Hawk Daily/YouTube)
On Sunday, a zoo in the Czech Republic set fire to 60 kilograms of rhinoceros horn, a fitting overture to the fifth annual World Rhino Day, which followed in various rhino-aware locales around the world on Monday.
The rhino is being poached to extinction for its horn, which is used in traditional medicine and as an aphrodisiac in Asia.
A rumour going around — that a Viet-namese minister’s relative was cured of cancer with rhino horn — hasn’t helped.
Hasn’t helped the rhino, that is.At the beginning of the 20th century,
there were 500,000 rhinos roaming Africa and Asia.
Today, there are 29,000. In Sumatra, the rhino population is down to less than 100. In Java, there are 35-45 left.
There is some good news, rhino fans. The southern white rhino has come back, from 50 indi-
viduals early in the 20th century to 20,000 today. But now poaching threatens to reverse those gains.
The rhino, in short, is in a sorry state. Unfortunately, they are not really sexy beasts and Save
the Rhino doesn’t have the same urgent resonance as Save the Tigers or Save the Whales.
I’m not sure why I’m feeling such soli-darity for the rhinoceros (which means “nose horn,” of course).
Maybe I can relate to its reputation for near-sighted stubbornness. But when you add up the facts, rhinos are worth saving:
• Even though they weigh in at a tonne on average, rhinos are vegetarians. They eat anywhere from 50 to 100 kilos of food a day. Trying picking up that grocery bill! Also, what they eat depends on the species.
• There are white rhinos and black rhinos, and both species are actually grey. (Black rhinos eat shoots and leaves, and white rhinos are more grazers. Zoos feed them soy and alfalfa.)
• A group of rhinos is called a “crash.”• Black rhinos are the most aggressive of the species,
and they can attack at speeds of 50 km/h. But such attacks are rare and most black rhinos would more typically be found snoozing in the shade.
• The rhino horn is made of the same stuff as human fingernails.
• Rhino moms take 15 months to give birth.• Rhino babies can walk within 10 minutes. • Rhinos have notoriously poor eyesight, but there’s
nothing wrong with their intestines: a white rhino produ-ces about 50 pounds of poo a day.
• Rhinos somehow managed to survive for 40 million years. Then we turned up.
Rhino poaching has grown increasingly alarming. Last year, more than 1,000 white rhinos were slaughtered in South Africa alone.
Do the math: That’s five per cent of the surviving population.
World Rhino Day is over for another year. I’m not sure it’s doing any good — South Africa is home to 83 per cent of the world’s rhinos, and this year, poachers have already killed 787 rhinos in that country.
If the current rate of poaching continues, rhino deaths will exceed rhino births by 2016 to 2018.
And you know what that means.

Rhino solidarity

‘No more stuck skunks!’ PETA, college prez urge Ohio students to crush cans An Ohio college president says the school supports safety for skunks, and for other furry creatures, too.
Miami University President David Hodge has thanked People for the Ethical Treat-ment of Animals for its offer to send safety posters after a skunk recently got its head stuck in a beer can near a fra-
ternity house. The posters urge people to crush cans for animal safety.
Hodge wrote to PETA to say that the Advocates for Animals student group will work on the poster safety campaign. He says the school appreciates the ef-fort to remind the community to crush and recycle cans, not only to preserve resources but
to protect animals from harm.“We share your desire to
have no more stuck skunks!” Hodge wrote.
The posters PETA offered to send to Miami show a raccoon with head stuck in a tin can and tell the reader to crush cans for animal safety, urging: “Don’t let this happen again.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Friday 12th to Saturday 27th
In 2001 Denzel Washing-ton won his first Best Actor Academy Award. The movie was Training Day and Wash-ington’s performance as the corrupt Los Angeles Police Department narcotics officer Alonzo Harris established the actor’s propensity for playing ambiguous antiheroes.
Is there another A-list leading man who explores the dark side of his characters as often as Washington? Will Smith and Tom Cruise occa-sionally let the heroic side of their on-screen personas take a back seat, but Washington revels in mucking around in the mud. From Training Day to American Gangster, Safe House to Flight, he has craft-ed complex characters you wouldn’t want to sit next to on the bus.
This weekend he’s back as Robert McCall, home improvement store manager by day, equalizer of odds by night. Based on the cult 1980s television show The Equalizer starring Edward Woodward, the film begins with the for-mer black ops commando try-ing to leave his violent ways in the past.
He meets his greatest ad-versary just when he thought
that part of his life was over. Namely, the Russian mob leans on him after he tries to protect a young woman (Chloë Grace Moretz) from her pimp.
No other superstar seems as comfortable with moral haziness as Washington. In American Gangster, for instance, he was Frank Lu-
cas, the one-time driver for a Harlem mob boss who rose to the top of the drug world by flooding the streets of Manhattan with cheap, high-grade heroin smuggled into the United States in the coffins of dead soldiers re-turning from Vietnam. He’s a dichotomy — bloodthirsty and ruthless, but he also at-tends church every Sunday with his mother.
In Flight, he played troubled pilot Whip Whita-ker, an anti-hero who is functional in day-to-day life despite his predilection for wine, women and cocaine.
He’s charming one
minute, enraged the next and passed out on the floor the minute after that.
Washington manages to subtly capture the ego and hubris that allows Whitaker to present a sober face to the public while bringing us into the messy world of ad-diction.
The actor has played his share of assorted good guys over the years — Ricochet’s cop-turned-attorney and Don Pedro of Aragon in Much Ado About Nothing — but it is his willingness to mine the hero-ism of the nasty men he plays that makes him one of the most interesting A-listers.

No more Mr. Knife Guy
Weapons of messy destruction It’s amazing what you can get done with the right tools. In designing the climactic battle in The Equalizer, in which Denzel Washington’s re-tired special ops mystery man takes on a team of Russian mobsters in a Home Depot-like store using just what’s available on the shelves, director Antoine Fuqua learned quite a bit about what makes a handy weapon.
“Now in my brain, everything’s a weapon. You can do some interest-ing things, if you think of it that way,” Fuqua tells Metro.
When it comes to a topic like this, there’s really nothing better than a hands-on demonstra-tion, which Fuqua happily provided using a butter knife just lying around the hotel suite where we met up. “A butter knife is still sharp, so you could still do damage with a butter knife if you cut across somebody’s skin,” he says, brandishing the blade. “We’re fragile, so it’s going to cut you. Or a blunt force.” To drive the point home, he pretends to jab me several times with the butt of the knife.
“Cut off the blade and you’ve still got a weapon. It doesn’t make a differ-ence, if somebody knows how to do it, they know how to do it,” he says. “They’re going to use your festival badge lanyard and choke you with it. ‘You got a gun? Oh, nice. I’ve got a butter knife and a corkscrew.’” NED EHRBAR/METRO IN HOLLYWOOD

Leonard Cohen
All Leonard wants for
his birthday is the smoke
he’s been craving for 30 years
Leonard Cohen has wanted a cigarette for a long, long time, and now he’s going to have one. The legendary singer-songwriter turned 80 this weekend, and to cele-brate he’s planning to take up smoking again, a habit he kicked when he was in his 50s. “Quite seriously, does anyone know where you can buy a Turkish or Greek ciga-rette?” he asked, according to the San Francisco Chron-icle. “I’m looking forward to that first smoke. I’ve been thinking about that for 30 years. It’s one of the few con-sistent strings of thoughts I’ve been able to locate.”
The Word
It’s really splitsville for klass act Bruce and Kris Jenner
They said it wouldn’t last — mostly because of that separation almost a year ago. Now, Kris and Bruce Jenner have officially filed for divorce, and much like everything else in their E!-sponsored, reality show life, they’re going to work
this one out in public. According to court docu-ments “obtained” by E! News, the couple is calling it quits over irreconcilable differences and seeking joint custody of their last remaining kid at home, 17-year-old Kylie Jenner. They list the official separa-tion date as June 1, 2013, which is actually pretty noteworthy, since they didn’t officially announce it until last October. Do you understand the uncharac-teristic levels of restraint and discretion it must’ve taken them to keep quiet about something for four whole months? That’s just not like them.

gender-equality speechWell, this is just depressing. Emma Watson’s impressive speech on feminism and gender equality at the United Nations Monday was greeted by the murkier corners of the Internet with a sadly predict-able response. Posters to the site 4Chan went apoplectic, littering a message board there with insults, threats of violence
and doctored news items claiming Watson had died in a hotel room. Most notably, one user threatened to release illegally obtained nude photos of the actress in retaliation for her speech, going so far as to set up a site counting down to the supposed release. Oh, Internet. This is why we can’t have nice things.

How-to
Avoid getting sick on the plane1. From the second you board the plane until you are at your destination, never touch your face. Eye and nose rubbing is taboo.2. Wipe down arm rests and your tray table — espe-cially the latch — with a Wet One. Ignore the looks you might get.3. Only drink water you can see is coming from a bottle. (The ice is OK.) Never drink the coffee or tea.4. In the lavatory, use the anti-bacterial gel instead of the soap and water. Or bring your own.5. Never put anything in the seat pocket in front of you. Avoid over-handling anything that is already in the seat pocket.6. Forego the dab of antibiotic ointment in the nostrils. It’s a myth. DOUG WALLACE/METRO

In the name of love. Suites for the super richFrom gold-plated iPads to helipads and a diamond ring in lieu of a pillow mint, posh hotels around the world are upping the ante on honey-moon suite perks. Welcome to hotel suites for the one per cent, where tens of thou-sands of dollars is nothing to spend in the name of love.
New York PalaceIt may sound extravagant to throw in a diamond ring with a hotel reserva-tion, but given that the Jewel Suite at the New York Palace costs $25,000 a night, the ring could be construed as a courtesy amenity.
While some hotels offer their VIP guests a compli-mentary bottle of bubbly, fruit basket or box of chocolates, the New York Palace comes with a gem worth $2,500, designed by jeweler to the stars Martin Katz.
Burj Al Arab DubaiNot one to do things the conventional way? Couples for whom there is no moun-tain high enough can book
the hotel’s helipad as their wedding reception venue. For $55,000, couples can select the hotel’s Wedding in the Skies package for an unforgettable ceremony 212 metres in the sky. They’ll be exchanging their vows on the same site where Tiger Woods teed off. Instead of a horse-drawn carriage, couples can also hire out an Italian twin engine Augusta 109 aircraft.
InterContinental GenevaFor the sum of a middle-income salary, you too, can book a one-night stay at the world’s most expensive hotel suite, The Residence at the InterContinental Geneva. Putting your head down in the 7,000-square foot apartment will set you back $56,000.
With 11 rooms includ-ing a library, gallery, hammam, gym and sauna, the apartment is ideal for those who may be feting their wedding with out-of-town guests — along with those couples who may need their space after the festivities.

Sustainability
Does your travelling make a difference?
The United Nation’s has proclaimed September 27 World Tourism Day. I re-cently spoke with G Adven-tures founder, Bruce Poon Tip, about the importance and impact of tourism on the planet.
Why is World Tourism Day important?It’s about raising aware-ness on the positive impact tourism can have in the world. Years ago tourism wasn’t seen has either positive or negative. Then about a decade ago climate change became an issue and tourism was seen as a negative thing; plane travel became a big offender in the discussion around carbon emissions. Today, with the import-ance placed on sustainabil-ity and the way people are living at home — recyc-
ling, eating organically or using low watt light bulbs — consumers have started to make holidays choices that reflect their values. G Adventures is a firm believer that travel can change the world in a positive way. It’s a symbi-otic relationship between travelers and local people. Travel can be a form of giving back, just like do-nating to a charity as long as it’s done right.
What is standing in the way of tourism becoming a positive force?All-inclusive holidays are growing at an alarming rate. There is a race to build bigger and bigger cruise ships. Seventy-five percent of travellers are going to all-inclusives and
very little of that money is going into the local econ-omy. People are choosing their holidays based on price point and locals are not benefitting. The United Nations Environ-ment program says that for every hundred dollars spent by tourists, only five dollars actually stays in the local economy.
How can your travel choices make a differ-ence?Understand where your money is going. Learn about the differences being promoted by travel companies and pick out the things that match your values. Sustainable tourism is about local jobs and local people and bene-fitting local economies.
Georgia should be on the golfer’s mind
Georgia isn’t the first choice of most Canadians for a golf get-away.
But thanks largely to the growing fame of Reynolds Plan-tation, one of North America’s biggest and most attractive golf resorts, that may soon change.
The sprawling lakefront resort midway between At-lanta and Augusta will be in the spotlight later this month when it hosts the Golf Chan-nel’s Big Break Invitational, Reynolds Plantation. Part of the network’s popular Big Break franchise, the live-to-air 72-
hole competition between past champions will showcase the
charms of a planned commun-ity that includes six golf courses
and the luxurious Ritz-Carlton Lodge.
Four of the courses at Rey-nolds Plantation have been ex-tensively renovated by owner MetLife, including Great Wat-ers, the Jack Nicklaus-designed headliner, which will host the Big Break competition.
Great Waters features a spectacular routing through a rolling pine forest and ends with eight holes that snake dramatically along the shore of Lake Oconee. Rounding out the roster are layouts by several of the game’s top architects: The National (Tom Fazio), The Oconee (Rees Jones), as well as The Landing and The Planta-tion (both by Bob Cupp). Only The Creek Club by Jim Engh is off-limits to resort guests. A 120-kilometre drive east of Atlanta, Reynolds Plantation is ideally situated for explor-ing Georgia’s Lake Country, a region rich in Southern charm and history that includes the towns of Greensboro, Eaton-ton and Madison. Greensboro, named for Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene, was rebuilt after being burned to the ground and its inhabitants killed by Creek Indians.
But there’s plenty to do
without leaving a 4,046-hec-tare property that offers a spa and fitness centre, as well as water activities ranging from bass fishing to kayaking and water skiing. Biking and hik-ing trails provide glimpses of deer, red fox and bald eagles. Tourists should also stay on the lookout for celebrities such as George W. Bush, Newt Gingrich and John Mellencamp known to frequent the palatial homes that overlook manmade — but astonishingly natural looking — Lake Oconee. Country music star Carrie Underwood mar-ried Canadian hockey player Mike Fisher under a tent here in 2010. Though a family des-tination, the focus at Reynolds Plantation is squarely on golf. Last April, the resort hosted a heavily publicized exhibition between Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose that featured holes 15 inches wide, an innovation promoted as a way to make the game easier to play. And on hand at the Reynolds Golf Academy is acclaimed instruct-or Charlie King. A noted innov-ator, he believes that instruc-tion must be adapted for each individual.

Taking it slow out on the island
Sometimes the city boy needs to rest and relax by escaping from the hustle and bustle and adventuring through a place where calm meets quiet and a vacation actually leaves you feeling refreshed.
My four-day road trip through Prince Edward Island would be my first visit to the East Coast.
In 2013 P.E.I. was fea-tured in Travel + Leisure’s annual World’s Best List and awarded Top Island in the Continental U.S. and Canada. It is the nation’s smallest province and also the easiest to explore.
I zig-zagged through potato farm-flanked rural roads and soared across pe-tite bays where lobster fish-ermen eagerly hauled in the day’s catch.
While the big draws here are of course pigtailed Anne of Green Gables, epic lob-ster feasts and lighthouse-dotted shorelines, it’s the warm welcome and country charm that will leave the most lasting impression.
West Point Lighthouse Inn offers 13 rooms with fantastic views, two of which are located inside the historic lighthouse. At 69 feet tall, it’s one of P.E.I.’s tallest, and the only offering for those looking to sleep in a historic light-house.
It’s surrounded by pris-tine red sandy beaches and the rolling Cedar Dunes. Known throughout Canada for its farm-to-table phil-osophy and innovative use of P.E.I. products, the Inn at Bay Fortune is both a bou-tique hotel and award win-ning restaurant.
The property was home to the wildly successful TV cooking show The Inn Chef,
which introduced celebrity Chef Michael Smith to Can-adian audiences. Enjoy din-ner on the veranda, sipping a glass of local wine while nibbling through an anti-pasto board featuring an array of house-cured meats and pickles.
Go back in time 100 years and join the charac-ters of Avonlea for a fun day of interactive experi-ences at Avonlea Village of Anne of Green Gables. Built in 1999 in Cavendish, Avonlea was the fictitious name that Island author, Lucy Maud Montgomery gave to the wee town in her famous novel, Anne of Green Gables.
A visit to Avonlea is an essential stop for all Anne fans, allowing children and adults to chit-chat with the novel’s most beloved char-acters.
P.E.I. road trip. A relaxed journey around Canada’s smallest province is a welcome break for this city dweller
Fishing trip
Seafood fans should book a deep sea fishing trip with Tranquility Cove Adventures. The trip includes hauling a lobster trap, a rock crab pot and a mussel sock. Fish are filleted al fresco and cooked on the barbecue just in time for lunch.

A personal brand is an invalu-able tool that can help you throughout your career — particularly when you’re try-ing to land a first job or move between industries.
Personal branding can be crucial in helping sell yourself to potential employ-ers and stand out from the crowd. Luckily, getting start-ed on developing your brand is easier than it might sound.
Create a theme or image for yourselfChoose a theme that will be carried throughout both your online and offline presence. This theme may include a ser-ies of colours, fonts, and im-ages that will be used across all platforms.
Consistency is key for branding: Use the same col-ours on your resumé and cov-er letter as on your Twitter profile and personal website. When you move from docu-ment to portfolio to resumé, or to Twitter and LinkedIn, everything should reflect a consistent visual message.
Build your online presenceHaving an online presence is
crucial for any modern job-seeker, and absolutely vital when it comes to presenting your personal brand.
While you’ll need to use and present your personal brand in your offline life and in the workplace, hav-ing your brand online is an
excellent way to put yourself out there — and it may lead someone to contact you to of-fer a top job opportunity or networking connection.
As you build your presence online, be sure to be actively in-volved in the online commun-ity. Don’t just create profiles —
follow, like and join, too.
Generate contentA great way to develop and fine-tune your personal brand is to produce content that reflects your areas of expertise. This content may appear on your blog, your social networks or shared directly with others in your industry. You can even identify promising conversa-tions that focus on your chosen area and offer your content there — building new connec-tions in the process. Generating unique content and contribut-
ing to ongoing discussions will help build your image.
Build yourself offlineYour offline professional ac-tivities play a big part in intro-ducing specific people to your personal brand (and directing them to your online presence, as well). Networking and build-ing an image for yourself offline are key steps to building your brand. Create branded business cards, and attend conferences, classes, workshops, and other events to give you an opportun-ity to network.

I love making recipes that I enjoyed as a kid for my own family.
Ricotta cheese is used in many Italian dishes to create sauces, add texture to pasta and, of course, to make desserts.
I enjoy adding it to pasta with veggies — even as sim-ple as peas.
Like most pasta dishes, this one does not wait. When it’s ready, you should be, too! Serve it right away and have everyone at the table with their forks in hand.
Planning meals ahead
and having pantry staples will help balance out your week and get you ahead for special snacks as well.
Whip up this easy week-night meal and then you will have time to make some homemade cannoli for dessert, using an extra ricotta you may have laying around.
1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the rotini or other short pasta for 6 minutes.
2. Add the frozen peas and cook for 2 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Drain the pasta, ensuring that you re-serve 1 cup (250 mL) of the cooking water and return
pasta to pot.
3. Add the ricotta cheese, extra virgin olive oil and some of the water to mois-ten and toss to combine until smooth sauce forms.
4. Add half of the Par-mesan cheese and fresh, chopped parsley or basil; toss the mixture to com-bine. Sprinkle with remain-ing Parmesan before serv-ing immediately.

Tampa Bay Lightning forward and former Halifax Moose-heads star Jonathan Drouin is out three to four weeks with a broken right thumb.
The Lightning said in a statement that the injury oc-curred Thursday after a col-lision in the corner during 2-on-2 work at rookie camp practice. X-rays confirmed the fracture Monday.
The injury will likely keep the 19-year-old out of the en-tire pre-season and part of the regular season.
The Lightning start the 2014-15 season Oct. 9 on the road against the Florida Pan-thers
Drouin, from Ste-Agathe, Que., was selected third over-all by the Lightning in the 2013 NHL draft. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The boys are back.Goaltender Zachary Fu-
cale, defenceman Matt Mur-phy and forward Philippe Gadoury are returning to the Halifax Mooseheads from their respective NHL training camps and expected to be in the lineup for Friday’s home game against the Chicoutimi Saguenéens.
The additional manpower should give the Moose a much-needed boost after two straight losses over the week-end, which included getting shut out 3-0 by the Moncton Wildcats and edged 6-5 in overtime by the Saint John Sea Dogs.
“You’re getting three of your best players back, so ob-viously it helps,” Mooseheads general manager Cam Russell said Tuesday, adding the ros-ter refresher will also “take some pressure off some of the younger players that have had to play more minutes … and be put in situations that maybe they’re not quite ready for.”
Fucale, 19, and Gadoury, 20, were both at Montreal Cana-diens camp, while 19-year-old Murphy was with the Ottawa Senators.
The Mooseheads are 1-2-1 so far this season, having started without that top trio, as well as forward Daniel Moynihan, 18, who last week returned from a stint with
the San Jose Sharks, and im-port forward Nikolaj Ehlers, also 18, who remains with the Winnipeg Jets training camp for the time being.
“If you look back at the four games we’ve played, there’s only been one game where we’ve played with six defence,” Russell said, point-ing to several injuries already plaguing the blue-line, some that have been short term and others that are long term.
Those serious injuries in-clude second-year D-man Jesse
Lussier’s broken wrist and rookie defenceman Cavan Fitzgerald’s fractured patella, which have put both out of ac-tion for up to eight weeks.
Murphy’s return should help ease that defensive strain,
Russell said. “Matt Murphy is the player that’s capable of logging a lot of ice time.”
Fucale will likely take his rightful place between the posts Friday, replacing rookie Kevin Resop, 17, who has
played all four games so far. Christopher Langlais, 18, of La-chenaie, Que., was recalled to back him up.
“You need your older play-ers, you need your veterans, you need your leaders,” Rus-sell said. “Adding three players of this calibre is paramount for us.
“We’re excited to have those guys back.”
The puck drops against Chicoutimi this Friday at 7 p.m., at the newly named Sco-tiabank Centre.

Nylander scores in pre-season debutWilliam Nylander created and got some opportun-ities and showed flashes of offensive skill in his pre-season NHL debut.
Time will tell if he’s ready for full-time duty at hockey’s highest level, but Nylander — the eighth pick in June’s draft —
scored a late goal and was noticeable in positive ways in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night at Air Can-ada Centre.

Pirates clinch playoff voyageGerrit Cole retired the final 17 hitters he faced, and the surging Pitts-burgh Pirates clinched a spot in the playoffs with a 3-2 win over the free-falling Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.The AssociATed Press
MLB
Jays spoiling M’s post-season hopesCanadian Dalton Pompey hit his first career home run and Edwin Encarnacion added a two-run blast as the Toronto Blue Jays crushed the Seattle Mariners 10-2 on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre.
Pompey belted a no-doubt shot to right field off Felix Hernandez to kick off Toronto’s seven-run fifth inning. Encarnacion went deep in the following frame to help make a winner of Jays starter R.A. Dickey, who allowed five hits over seven innings. The cAnAdiAn Press
Corruption investigation
FIFA VP calls for publishing of probeAn investigation into alleged World Cup bid corruption should be published in full, accord-ing to FIFA vice-president Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein of Jordan.
Prince Ali’s plea to lift FIFA secrecy rules shroud-ing the case — which could punish some of his executive committee col-leagues for their conduct in the 2018 and 2022 bid contests won by Russia and Qatar — follows a call by lead investigator Michael Garcia for more openness. The AssociATed Press
La Liga
Ronaldo has Real Madrid on a rollCristiano Ronaldo made amends for conceding a penalty by scoring four times as he led Real Ma-drid to a 5-1 rout of Elche in the Spanish league on Tuesday. The AssociATed Press
Royals have eyes on crown
With another win, the Royals stepped closer to history and a playoff berth.
They’ve got a much bigger goal in mind.
Rookie Yordano Ventura blanked Cleveland’s punch-less offence for seven innings as Kansas City kept pressure on first-place Detroit in the AL Central with a 7-1 win over the Indians on Tuesday night.
Following the game, the Royals retreated to their club-house to watch the ninth in-ning of the Tigers’ 4-3 win over Chicago. As they ate
their post-game meals, Kan-sas City’s players roared loud-
ly when the White Sox scored three runs in the ninth to tie it. It got much quieter when Miguel Cabrera delivered a game-winning hit to keep the Tigers one game ahead of Kansas City.
It’s been 29 years since the Royals were in the post-season, and that run in 1985 ended with their only World Series title.The AssociATed Press

Wild for the Central

In 2010, Canadians were finally introduced to Scion, the entry-level brand that Toyota debuted in the United States seven years earlier.
Scion models such as its tall-wagon xB hatchback were aimed at a younger market, with their lower prices and funky styling, but they attracted older buyers as well, who liked their roomy interiors and ease of entry.
Dubbed The Toaster by fans for its boxy styling, the xB uses a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine that can be ordered with a five-speed manual transmission for $18,960, or with a four-speed automatic for $19,980.
Scion models come in a single trim line, with several factor or dealer options.
My tester had the limited-edition Release Series 10.0
package, which comes only with the automatic transmis-sion and includes a backup camera, special interior trim, unique wheel covers, wire-less device charging, and way-cool illumination that projects “xB RS 10.0” on the driver’s side of the floor, and a limited-edition number on the passenger’s side. But it’s a pricey package, at $2,585.
The xB is surprisingly peppy, with lots of passing power on the highway. It’s
fun to drive, thanks to its quick and direct steering, substantial feel, and a very tight turning circle.
However, it’s very noisy — the doors close with a tinny sound, and bumps in the road boom inside the cabin — and that peppiness costs at the pumps. It’s officially rated at 8.4 L/100 km in com-bined driving, thirstier than a six-cylinder Toyota Camry. In real-world use, I only aver-aged 10.5 L/100 km.
The seats are comfortable, and visibility is excellent all around. The dash is plain but the controls are easy to use — although it takes a bit to get used to the centrally mounted instrument cluster.
The rear seats are easy to fold flat to increase the cargo space. That great interior space is a plus, along with its price and the way it drives. If only it could control its fuel thirst, it could be an entry-level winner all around.
Review. Scion’s xB tall wagon is aimed at younger buyers, but all drivers like its roomy interior and easy access
Compare
1Kia SoulBase price: $16,995
Fun to drive and well- designed inside, the Soul comes with a choice of two engines.
2 Chevrolet SonicBase price:$13,995
Available with 1.8-litre or sporty turbo engine, the Sonic is a great little driver.
3Honda FitBase price: $16,068
Redesigned for 2015, the Fit is fab for cargo with its multi-folding rear seat.
Interesting features
Tire-pressure monitoring system, heated mirrors with turn signal indi-cators, 6.1-inch touch screen, front LED accent lights, electronic brake force distribution.
Points
• Fifty of the Release Series 10.0 cars come with Electric Pearl paint, a glossy white that reveals a shimmering green accent in sunlight.• Available options for the xB include a front brace, rear sway bar, and larger brakes from Toyota’s TRD perform-ance division; plus heated leather seats.• All 2014 Scion models now include touch-screen stereo.
Market position
Aimed at younger buyers, Scion picks up its share of older ones as well. But many of its models have undergone only minor changes over the years, and sales are falling.
2014 Scion xB
• Type. Four-door, front-wheel-drive compact wagon
• Engine. 2.4-litre four-cylinder (158 hp)
• Transmissions. Five-speed manual or four-speed automatic
• Base price. $18,960The dash is plain, but the controlsare easy to use.

As far as printing jobs go, this one was on the long side — about 44 hours.
But that’s understandable, because the printer wasn’t just spitting out an English essay or directions from MapQuest. It was a very large 3D printer, and it made a car.
Well, not a complete car, but the complete body of a car. And a useable one, too. It’s already moving under its own (electrical) power.
It is the brainchild of Local Motors, a design firm based in Arizona. To prove the point that building 3D cars is both fast and requires consider-ably fewer parts than a con-ventional vehicle,
Local Motors decided to print the car body, and then attach the 50 or so parts need-ed to make it run — all in front of a trade-show crowd at the recent International Technology Show in Chicago.
If that’s not enough, the car, called Strati, will go on sale to the U.S. public in 2015, for $18,000 and $30,000.
Of course, it has yet to pass any crash tests. And, as cur-
rently conceived, it would fall under the “neighbourhood” vehicle classification. Strati is a low-speed, two-seat city car that’s bigger and better than a golf cart, but not designed for highway use.
Fitted with the electric powertrain from a Renault Twizy, the Srati can go about 100 kilometres per charge, and tops out at 80 km/h.
Local Motors asked for de-sign proposals and selected one from Italian designer Mi-chael Anoe. The sketch was turned into a 3D image. Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee supplied its large 3D printer for the event.
The printer was fed a fine-ly ground mixture of thermo-plastic and carbon fibre. The printer nozzle precisely ap-plied the mixture, one small layer at a time, although the finished product is one piece.
The post-print assembly took about two days. Local Motors said the opportunity to print many components right into the main body made the overall build sim-pler, and reduced the number of parts. The complete car has only 40 to 50 parts, compared to a conventional vehicle that has several hundred.
The process also allows for lots of individuality, design possibilities and colour op-tions. It’s more or less a case of “insert design, press go.”
Local Motors is touting this 3D technology as an in-dustry game changer, which will seriously compress the time it takes to go from sim-ple sketch to finished vehicle.

A Celebration of German Engineering!
The Honda VFR has a long history of being a fan favour-
ite. Since its debut as a V4-750 cc, the VFR has garnered attention. So much so, that changing it was a risky ven-ture for Honda.
But any fears were un-founded, as Honda updated the bike’s style reduced its weight by 10 kilograms and added features such as adjust-able seat height, traction con-trol, ABS, heated grips and
self-cancelling signals.The changes put the 2014
model at the top of my list for desired test rides, and I man-aged to get my hands around the bars of one for a quick road trip to a mid-summer rock concert.
“Now that’s a sexy bike!” I thought as I arrived to pick up the VFR800. But while the good looks may draw you in,
it’s the ride that will keep you there.
I admit that taking to the highway on a Friday after-noon wasn’t the best deci-sion, as Vancouver’s outdoor enthusiasts were proudly towing most of their recrea-tional belongings out of the city for the weekend.
My wimpy grip was put to the test in an exercise of
clutch control during heavy rush-hour traffic, which didn’t see my digital gear change out of third or my speedo go past 60 km/h for about 100 km of the Trans Canada.
After two-and-a-half hours, I pulled into the Chevron gas station in Hope, where there was barely room for a motor-cycle to squeeze between all the campers and cars.
Although the compact rid-er triangle of the VFR initially excited me, I found myself cursing this cuddler after two hours of Friday afternoon gridlock. My hips, wrists, shoulders and knees were practically locked in place. Who did I think I was? Some 20-year-old spry athlete? I still had three hours’ travel ahead and I was already fatigued.
As I sat on the lawn work-ing out the cramps in my calves and sucking back Ga-torade to replenish my fluids, I admired a relaxed-looking Harley rider saddling up.
Back on the road, I con-tinued south toward a black-ened skyline just as Mother Nature started a light show.
“Oh that’s just great!” I thought, as I considered pull-ing over, but a thumbs-up from riders headed in the opposite direction told me it
wasn’t as bad as it looked, so I persevered.
As liquid polka dots decor-ated the blacktop below me, I thought about the traction control. When the sky opened up, and the road reflected oil, surface grit and flashes of light, my wrist rolled off the throttle but the Honda didn’t waiver. I anticipated tire movement but stayed strong and consistent for the next 20 kilometres, until I came out the other side of the storm — soaked, but still upright.
At 527 pounds, I initially considered the VFR800 to be heavy. But that extra weight was welcome when the wind picked up as I crested the mountain and began my des-cent into the Okanagan.
As I pulled into the lot at the South Okanagan Event Centre in Penticton, I im-mediately caught the atten-tion of a group of enthusias-tic roadies — proving that the full-fairing VFR800 in pearl white (also in red) appeals to both men and women.
After parking my ride alongside the Alice in Chains tour buses, I answered a few questions and then left the ogling crowd circling my bike — as I headed inside just in time to catch the grand finale of the rock show.
The heavy Honda VFR was rock solid in a summer storm. Marissa Baecker
