for her and her neighbours with disabilities to access the front entrance to their building.

Bike lanes form barrierOntario’s first segregated bike lanes in a downtown core City removed some curbs for
commercial buildings but ignored those in front of residential buildings, homeowners say
The Laurier Avenue segregated bikelanes are officially open, settingcyclists’ minds at ease as they nav-igate through the downtown core.
Proponents of the pilot projectcheered at a ribbon cutting yester-day, but not everyone was cele-brating. A group of seniors and per-sons with disabilities at the eventsaid the concrete barriers runningalong Laurier Avenue block thefront entrance to their building on556 Laurier Ave. W. The barriers aremeant to prevent vehicles fromcrossing into cyclists’ paths.
“It’s a hassle to get out of thebuilding,” said Lucile McGregor,who lives in the building. “Andthere’s been no consultation withthe homeowners who live in thatsection.”
McGregor cannot lift her legsover the barrier and says she hasto walk down the steep hill on Per-cy Street to enter her building.
Mayor Jim Watson and council-lors Mathieu Fleury and MarianneWilkinson attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday in frontof the Ottawa Public Library beforecyclists tried out the new lanes.Watson said he is aware of the com-plaints and said the city is open tofeedback from residents.

It took Ottawa’s court-house longer on average todispose of criminal cases in2010 than it did a year be-fore, despite a concertedeffort across the provinceto cut wait times.
Ontario Attorney Gener-al Chris Bentley says theprovince’s courts haveseen an encouraging drop
in processing times threeyears into a program toeliminate wasted re-sources, but Ottawabucked the trend, seeingcase-disposal times climb28.6 per cent, from 217days to 279 days on aver-age for a case to be dis-posed of.
Stuart Konyer, vice-pres-ident of the Defence Coun-sel Association of Ottawa,said he was surprised atthe increase, given the ef-
forts of the local Justice onTarget committee.
“I would say most of theroutine cases are takingless time,” he said.
Improvements havebeen made in some areas.Average disposal of homi-cide cases was more thanhalved in 2010, with an av-erage disposal time of 317days compared to the aver-age 680 days that it tookfor cases that were dis-posed of in 2009.
Attempted murder andsexual assault case-disposaltimes were also down, butrobbery, thefts, possessionof stolen property, mis-chief and failures to appearall took more court time.
Appearances in KirklandLake were down almost 45per cent; in Kingston, 18per cent; in Brampton,nearly 17 per cent; and inNorth York, 15 per cent.WITH FILES FROM THE CANADIANPRESS
Program called Justice on Target started in 2008 to cut down on number of days and courtappearances by 30 per cent Attorney general says ‘huge turnaround’ observed

Canadian activists trying todeliver aid to the blockad-ed Gaza Strip have decidedto put off their voyage fornow.
Organizers announcedthe decision Saturday afterthe Canadian ship, knownas the Tahrir, had been pre-vented from leaving a portin Greece for severalweeks.
Greece has banned ves-sels heading to the block-aded strip, citing safetyconcerns.
After inspections and ad-ministrative delays, theCanadian ship tried toleave for Gaza last Mondaybut was quickly turnedback to shore by the Greekcoast guard.
Organizer David Heap,who was aboard the Tahrir,said he’s disappointed theship wasn’t able to bringaid to Gaza.
But the group succeeded
in drawing attention to theconditions there, he said.
“Obviously some indi-viduals are disappointed,”he told The Canadian Pressin a phone interview fromGreece on Saturday.
“But we have had re-markable success ... in get-ting this issue into thespotlight.”THE CANADIAN PRESS
A day after the jubilationof South Sudan’s inde-pendence proclamation,the U.S. ambassador tothe UN warned yesterdayof a “real risk” that thenorth-south peace processcould unravel unless out-standing issues such as oiland border demarcationsare quickly resolved.
Celebrations rang outSaturday in the South Su-dan capital of Juba, thefirst day of independenceafter decades of civil warbetween Sudan’s northand south. Some two mil-lion people died in themost recent war, from1983 to 2005.
Yesterday, the capitalappeared hungover fromits massive celebration,though small groups ofpeople still sang anddanced on street corners.
The new country’s nation-al anthem played fromspeakers and cellphones.
The joy of independ-ence day temporarilyovershadowed the ongo-ing hostilities betweenthe northern army andsouthern-allied forces inthe northern state ofSouth Kordofan and otherviolence along the north-south border. The southand north have yet toagree on a demarcatedborder, and the issue ofoil remains contentious.The south has most of theoil but it must move itthrough the north’s pipes.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rupert Murdoch toucheddown in London yesterdayto take charge of his me-dia empire’s phone-hack-ing crisis as his News ofthe World published itslast edition.
But the scrapping ofthe 168-year-old tabloidhas not tempered Britishanger over improprietiesby journalists working forMurdoch, and his $19-bil-lion US deal to take fullcontrol of satellite broad-caster British Sky Broad-casting remains injeopardy.
The 80-year-old NewsCorp. CEO was seen read-ing the paper’s last issuein a red Range Rover as hewas driven to the east Lon-don offices of his U.K.newspaper division, NewsInternational. Later, at hisLondon apartment, he
met with News Interna-tional’s chief executive,Rebekah Brooks, who ledNews of the World whenits reporters committedsome of the most egregri-ous ethical lapses.
Murdoch has publiclybacked Brooks, who in-sists she had no knowl-edge of wrongdoing.
The drama has expand-ed at breakneck pace af-ter allegations News ofthe World journalistspaid police for informa-tion and hacked into thevoicemails of young mur-der victims and the griev-ing families of deadsoldiers. Three peoplehave been arrested, in-cluding ConservativePrime Minister DavidCameron’s former com-munications chief AndyCoulson.
The Guardian newspa-per reported yesterdaythat emails and memosfrom 2007 only recentlyturned over to policeshow News Internationalwas aware that phonehacking was more wide-spread than publicly ac-knowledged.
The scandal has the po-tential to bring down thecoalition government. Yes-terday, Nick Clegg, leaderof the Liberal Democrats,threatened to split thecoalition by siding with aLabour plan to block Mur-doch’s takeover of BSkyB.
Closing down theNews of the World is seenby some as a desperate at-tempt to stem negativefallout from the hackingscandal and thus saveMurdoch’s bid for BSkyB.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Crown patents of little use to landowners: Legal expertThe Ontario LandownersAssociation is urginglandowners across thecountry to get copies oftheir Crown patents, a doc-ument issued by the Crownto the original owner of apiece of land. They are thelatest tool being used by the
group to combat govern-ment intrusions on privateproperty.
Crown patents date backto the late 1700s, when theBritain transferred owner-ship to settlers. The OLA ar-gues that the patentsconferred ownership and a
certain amount of rights tothe original owner and any-one who would own theproperty in the future.They believe the patentsvoid government legisla-tion that might apply totheir properties.
But Michael Lamb, a Uni-
versity of Western Ontariolaw professor, says theCrown technically owns allland in Canada, and this le-gal underpinning gives gov-ernments the right to assertsome control over people’sprivate property.THE CANADIAN PRESS
Good works meansgood pay, for someSome senior executives ofCanadian charities earnsalaries well into six fig-ures, The Canadian Presshas found.
The Canada RevenueAgency keeps a database ofall the country’s 85,000registered charities, whichmust disclose how muchtheir 10 highest-paid work-ers take home.
There are about a mil-lion charity workers inCanada. The CRA databaseshows more than 6,000 ofthem earned above$120,000 last year. A fewhundred made more than$350,000, and another12,000 workers made be-tween $80,000 and
$120,000. It’s likely the number of
charity workers makingsix-figure salaries isgreater, since organiza-tions must disclose onlytheir Top 10 earners.
However, charities de-fend the high pay by say-ing they have to pay topdollar for the brightest tal-ent.
“If you really want thosecharities to have an impactand make a real difference,you’re going to need tobring in the best people towork in that sector,” saidMarcel Lauziere of ImagineCanada, an advocacy groupfor Canadian charities.THE CANADIAN PRESS
POLLINATION FOR THE NATION
Workerbees needbetter deal:BiologistThey toil from the daythey’re born to the daythey die — without pen-sion plans, overtime payor collective bargainingrights — to produce 87per cent of North Amer-ica’s food supply.
Now Concordia Uni-versity biologist MelanieMcCavour wants recogni-tion of the economicvalue of work done bybees and other crop-polli-nating creatures.
Current estimates ofthe value of global an-nual agricultural produc-tion provided by naturalcrop-pollinators are inthe neighbourhood of$250 billion. Assigning amonetary value to polli-nation is the first step inestablishing a protocolfor protecting pollina-tors. The logic goes thatif people realize thelabour value of workerbees, bats, birds, beetlesand butterflies, policy-makers will develop bet-ter environmental andagricultural policies.
“We’re asking for astudy to determine theexact dollar amount ofthese pollinators to oureconomy,” McCavoursaid. THE CANADIAN PRESS
The demise yesterday of Britain’s News of the World tabloid does not end the questions surrounding Rupert Murdoch’s
media conglomerate, which has been hugely influential in British politics for years. Chief among them: What did Murdoch
and his executives know about the actions of News of the World journalists?
No deal yeton U.S. debtU.S. congressional leadersmust work out a debt dealwithin the next 10 days,President Barack Obamasaid yesterday as he con-vened a meeting with theeight top House and Sen-ate leaders to fashion adeficit-reduction packagefor the next 10 years.Obama is pushing for amassive $4-trillion deal forreducing the deficit, whileSpeaker John Boehner andother Republicans prefer asmaller, $2 trillion plan.However, White Houseaides hinted yesterday thatthere is room for negotia-tion on a more modest ap-proach.

We don’t enjoy a reputationfor cutting loose here in thenation’s rules factory.
But inside the fence atBluesfest, Ottawa residentscan be spotted shaking their
asses like they don’t give a damn whattheir assistant deputy minister mightthink. This is Ottawa with its hair down,or at least askew.
Dump thousands of us onto LeBretonFlats, add music, beer and hype, and it’shardly a recipe for mellow predictability,
as demonstrated by opening night’s somewhatdisastrous crush at the gate and the ongoing humangridlock inside every night.
Those used to more regulated fun can be heard grum-bling, but for Rich (Buck 65) Terfry, who is on the HardRock Café Stage tomorrow night at 9:30, a bit of festival
chaos can also be ablessing.
“Backstage everyone’srunning around, they’vegot a 100 bands thatthey’re trying to deal withand there’s just like a pan-ic,” he said.
“I don’t usually like thatkind of energy in people atall. I usually work veryhard to avoid it in my life,but then, funny enough,when I have it inflicted onme it usually results in agood show, which is ironicand completelybackwards.”
Those trying to keep thisparty nominally under con-trol can also get itbackwards. A friend ofmine got carried away bythe music the other nightand actually danced a little,thereby catching the atten-tion of security. Fortyish
white guy dancing? Must be wasted. He wasn’t, but aftera short interrogation, he was escorted to the gatenonetheless.
Much of the time, however, music lovers are enjoyingthe intoxicant of their choice in whatever quantitiesthey can handle. On opening night, I noted the firstwhiff of weed at 7:06 and first public beer barf at 9:44(neither of them mine, thanks for asking).
Getting overserved takes some doing. Lengthy beerlines can morph into an elongated rabble rife withqueue-jumping, some of it quite shameless and certainlybeyond what would be tolerated back outside the fencein well-behaved Ottawa.
This petty anarchy might even be catching. Fightingfor space on a bus out of LeBreton, we couldn’t get any-where near the front door, so we just slipped in the backdoor without paying. Don’t tell my mom.
I’m sure our dull good sense will return next week,but for now, the only hard rule is: Summer is short —enjoy it.

Hit series draws to a close
Harry’s spell lingers on
The first Harry Potter film came out ten years ago Here’s what’s changed since The Sorcerer’s Stone
An academicweighs in onthe Potter cultThousands of Harry Potterfans are camped out at Lon-don’s Trafalgar Square lastweek for a chance to see thepremiere of the final HarryPotter movie. How did abook character manage toget such a following? Metrospoke with Michael Drout,Professor of English atWheaton College and an ex-pert on fantasy literature.
The Narnia series and the
Lord of the Rings are excellent
books. What makes people
go gaga over Harry Potter?
Fantasy has become popu-lar anyway, but the draw-back with Tolkien and C.S.Lewis is that they takethemselves too seriously.The fate of the universe isalways at stake. J.K. Rowlingtook fantasy and insertedhumour. She’s also verygood at creating characters.Her characters are not thecardboard characters youusually get in fantasy.
But why do people relate to
Harry Potter?
He’s literally a Cinderellastory, and he taps into theidea that anyone can be themost important person inthe universe. He’s alsomoral compass of sorts: he’sloyal and he knows what’sright and wrong. And likeall fantasy, the Harry Potterbooks put readers into a po-sition where they canchange the world. Also,Rowling doesn’t get enoughcredit for being a decentwriter. A typical fantasywriter invents three-fourdifferent languages and has20-page explanations foreverything. In Harry Potterreaders learn how thingswork because Harry himselfis learning. METRO
“Harry Potter has been a force for good,” says Professor Michael Drout. “He has gotten young people reading
and thinking about good and evil.”

THE DANGER OF NORWEX CLEANING PRODUCTSI recently went to a Norwex party and was wondering if you had an opinion about Norwex microfiber cloths? Laurel of Coquitlam, B.C.
There is anup- anddownside tomicrofiber
cloth products. The upside: they only
need water to cleanstreaks, smudges, dirtand grime on glass, mir-rors and stainless steelsurfaces.
They are also easilywashed and reused.
Good quality clothslast several years.
The downside: they aremade from petrochemi-cals.
The polyester and
polyamide fabric strandsare 100 times finer thanhuman hair.
That’s what makesthem so good at liftingdirt, grease and dust
without cleaning chemi-cals.
Problem is, they aremade from a nonrenew-able resource and do notbiodegrade.
I don’t believe they arerecyclable either.
Points for reducing theuse of toxic chemicalcleaners and eliminatingthe need for paper tow-els; strikes against for be-ing made ofpetroleum-based prod-ucts and for never goingback to the Earth.
Ultimately, it’s up toyou.
One cloth may be agreat addition to yourcleaning arsenal butdon’t forget you can alsowash and reuse rags(from old t-shirts, sheets,etc.) or newspaper whichcan then be composted.

Man of action hasHeaps of ‘passion’
Still going strong at 69, entrepreneur Frank Heaps hashad his hand in beer, vodka and property development
“I’m not goodat sitting onbeaches,”Frank Heapstells me fromhis Toronto
office. “I’m going to devel-op them.”
I learn that they are notidle words. Frank Heaps isa man of action and at theage of 69, his entrepre-neurial spirit is still driv-ing him forward.
Heaps pioneered the mi-cro-brewing craze in Cana-da when he started UpperCanada Brewing Companyin 1984.
“I quit my job, put amortgage on the familyhome, wrote a businessplan, raised capital andthen struggled like hell forfive years until it caughtfire.”
Heaps sold the success-ful brewery 10 years laterand thought about retire-ment.
“I tried watercolour,golf, bagpipe lessons, pot-tery classes — nothing ap-pealed to me.”
It was back to the beachand Heaps began develop-ing a waterfront property
in St. Lucia. He is also thecurrent president of Ice-berg Vodka in Canada.
“You’ve got to have pas-sion. You also have to mo-tivate yourself because ifyou can’t do that, you’re
not going to motivate thepeople around you.”
Beer, vodka and off-shore property develop-ment. I can hardly wait tosee what Frank Heaps doesnext.

In this recent photo a group of about 20 women attend a
class on extreme coupon cutting in Boise, Idaho.
JESSIE L. BONNER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Extreme coupon cuttersspreading the good wordThe women sat expectantlyas Monica Knight told themshe once routinely spent$600 US a month on gro-ceries for her family of four.Breaking into a broadsmile, Knight says that fig-ure has been reduced to on-ly $100 to $150 a month.
And now the dental hy-gienist and mother of twois about to tell them her se-cret.
The women lean forwardin their seats. They’re thelatest disciples of extremecouponing; women whocarry pictures of their over-flowing pantries on theircellphones; savvy shopperswho will spend hours flip-ping through newspaperand magazine advertise-ments in search of theirbargains, and homemakerswho have pinched penniesto put food on the table dur-ing the recession and needthe extra help.
Most have watched thetelevision series ExtremeCouponing, which debutedon TLC in April and follows
shoppers whose intense de-votion to finding bargainscan whittle a $555.44 gro-cery store bill down to$5.97, to cite one extremeexample.
Heather Border, a 36-year-old mother of four inrural Idaho, is a new to theextreme coupon phenome-non. But she was hooked afew weeks ago, aftercoupons and store dealsbrought her $180 grocerybill down to $40.
“I was feeling a little con-spicuous because peoplewere staring at me,” Bordersaid. “Then, I felt a rush.”
She was among about 20women who attended anextreme coupon class on arecent Saturday in Boise.The three-hour course was
taught by Knight and herbusiness partner, Cathy Yo-der. They own the extremecouponing blog, FabulesslyFrugal.
The women oohed andawed as Knight pulled outthe fat binder of couponsthat saves her 50 per cent to90 per cent on every gro-cery bill. She showed offpictures of the stockpile offood at her home, where 46boxes of cereal are stowedin her children’s bedroomcloset and packages ofbreakfast drink mix arekept under a bed. In theirclass, Yoder and Knightwarn against some of thepractices that have givenextreme coupon cutterslike themselves a bad rap.
They instruct their stu-dents to be kind to theircashiers. They encouragethem to stockpile food tohelp their families, but cau-tion against “hoarding” orclearing shelves of itemsthat their families don’tneed or won’t use. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s July already; Do you have a job?Youth-focused centres help unemployed battle the summer job blues Plenty of opportunities there for the taking
School’s out, summer’shere and the living shouldbe easy. But for some youngpeople there’s a perplexingreality that gnaws at the pitof their stomachs — they’rejobless, and it’s already July.
Laura McEwan is one ofthose desperately seekingsummer employment.
The 17-year-old has beenhunting for over a monthbut has been turned awayby employers who saythey’ve already completedtheir summer hiring orhave an abundance of moreexperienced applicants.
“It’s really frustratingnot knowing where to gofrom here and to keep try-ing to stay positive,” saidMcEwan.
The warmer months cancome to resemble a tickingtime bomb for those whohaven’t been able to lockdown a summer gig. Thelatest youth employmentnumbers don’t offer muchsolace — despite the overallunemployment rate fallingto its lowest level in May,the jobless rate for thoseaged 15 to 24 was 13.9 percent.
Nonetheless, a fewyouth-centric organizationsare trying to ease the jobanxiety.
Youth Employment Serv-ices is where McEwansought help. The Toronto-based non-profit offers jobcounselling, training andwork placement opportuni-ties as well as a special sum-mer job service.
The organization’s key
pointer when it comes tosummer employment?Start early.
“A young person has tobe very dedicated. Theyshould be looking for theirjob back in May. A lot ofpeople don’t think of doingthat,” said president NancySchaefer.
“The common complaint
is ‘where’s the job?’”Schaefer explained that
many youth who use em-ployment assistance servic-es quickly learn just howproactive they need to bewhen it comes to the jobhunt. Many employers ad-vertise well before Apriland there are even thosethat recruit in late fall.
But for those latebloomers still hoping forwork this summer, Schae-fer offers some encourage-ment.
“We would never tell ayoung person that it’s hope-less,” she said, adding thatthose who aren’t picky cantypically find some sort ofshort-term seasonal work ifthey look hard enough.
For those with a certainamount of drive, the organ-ization even helps youngentrepreneurs start theirown summer business.
“Young people don’tknow that there are servic-es available in their com-munities,” said Schaefer.
“If they’ve taken thatstep to reach out and gethelp, then we rewardthem.”
Calgary’s Youth Employ-ment Centre offers similar
services and has alreadydealt with many lamentinga lack of desirable employ-ment — a complaint that’scountered with the argu-
ment that “any job is a goodjob.”
“It gives you skills, trans-ferable skills that you canuse in any workplace,” saidLeita Blasetti, the centre’scommunity relations liai-son, who adds that youthcould enrich their experi-ence by volunteering or tak-ing on extra responsibility.
“Make the most of it, geta good reference and a goodexperience out of it.” Whilehelping youth target theirresumes and polish their in-terview style, the centre al-so reminds young peoplethat jobs outside their tar-get area could end up beinga great experience.
“They may not get theideal job,” said Blasetti. “Butthat’s why you have sum-mer jobs, so you can trysomething out.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

If all else fails ...
If a young person just isn’table to land a job this sum-mer, the University ofBritish Columbia’s CareerServices office has some ad-vice.
“Create great professionalstories,” said John Horn, thecentre’s associate directorof career development.
Whether it’s a volunteer ex-perience, or a travel oppor-tunity, Horn advisesdeveloping a collection ofnarratives that help buildcredibility as a well-round-ed professional.
Those stories can find aplace on a resumé or in ajob interview and couldhelp rank one applicanthigher than another.

ISTOCK
Don’t let yourthumbs get inthe way of abright career
Watch your email etiquette, career experts warn
In the age of auto-spellcheck, it’s tempting tothumb out double-timememos with no regard forthe art of spelling. Still, ca-reer counsellors warn, yourlack of SMS politenesscould carry a cost.
“People are starting tomove away from emailsand are losing the art ofputting together a com-plete couple of sentences,”career coach Sue Thomp-son bemoans.
“But you need to consid-er to whom are you writ-ing.”
“It’s all about buildingrapport,” concurs ShirinKhamisa, founder of Ca-reers By Design.
If your emails are re-sponded to with snappish,unpunctuated replies — no“Hey, how are you,” no“Nice to hear from you” —
then you might, she sug-gests, keep your correspon-dence curt.
“But if it’s a person whohas a more personal touch,then I would reciprocate,”she adds.
“Those niceties are veryimportant in building rela-tionships, even online —and especially online — be-cause we need that glue tohold us together.”
Older workers, Thomp-son notes, can be made un-comfortable by an overload
of web 3.0 abbreviations. “Baby boomers are going
to expect a fairly concise,but formal email,” she says.And they’ll likely place agreater importance onspelling, she adds.
“Some people will reallyconsider your spelling,whether you know the dif-ference between your andyou’re and its and it’s,” shesays.
“Just respect the personto whom you’re writing.That’s what etiquette is.”

Don’t get so lost in digitaldecorum that you neverget to the point, cautionsShirin Khamisa, founder ofCareers By Design. “Bevery clear about actionsteps,” she advises. “Keepthose in the top of theemail so they don’t getlost. Put them in the sub-ject line. Present things the
way you’d want them pre-sented to you.”
Put a face to a name
If a picture’s worth 1,000words, then a low-resolu-tion headshot can’t hurt,Khamisa offers. “Attach asmall photo in your signa-ture,” she says. “The nexttime you meet, you’ll no-tice a difference in howyou’re received.”

Three days after hittingtheir low point of the sea-son, the Toronto Blue Jaysare flying high going intothe all-star break.
Jose Bautista’s two-rundouble and six strong in-nings from Brett Cecil ledToronto to a 7-1 win overthe Cleveland Indians yes-terday. The Blue Jays tookthe last three games of theseries after suffering acrushing 5-4 defeat in theopener on Thursday inwhich they couldn’t hold a
four-run lead and lost onTravis Hafner’s walkoffgrand slam.
Blue Jays manager John
Farrell isn’t surprised histeam rebounded from aloss that would have sentmany clubs into a tailspin.
“We do bounce back,” hesaid. “We have the ability toput behind us what the pre-vious day was, whether itwas positive or negative. Itspeaks to the resiliency ofthis team and the attitudethey carry onto the field.”
The Blue Jays, who had48 hits in the series, out-slugged the Indians for an11-7 win Friday. All-star JoseBautista’s 10th-inninghome run gave Toronto a 5-4 victory Saturday and afive-run third inning, high-
lighted by rookie EricThames’ two-run homer,sparked yesterday’s win.
“We played very wellthis series with the excep-tion of Game 1 and whattook place late,” Farrellsaid.
Cecil (2-4) gave up oneunearned run over six in-nings for his first win inthree starts since being re-called from the minorsJune 30. The left-hander al-lowed six hits and walkedthree. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
