Vancouverites may be forced tobecome composting keeners if anexpanded curbside-compostingprogram rolls out city-wide in2012.
The proposed plan, which willcome before council Thursday,includes cutting back single-fam-ily property-garbage pickup toevery two weeks and increasingcompost collection to every week.
The $383,000 pilot programwould accept all types of foodscraps in composting bins, such asmeat, eggs, bread and dairy. Pre-viously, people could only add rawfruit and vegetable scraps to theiryard-trimmings cart.
The test pilot will be done inthe Sunset and Riley neighbour-hoods during the fall. If success-ful, the program could be imple-
mented across the city next year.Vision Coun. Andrea Reimer
said Vancouverites shouldn’t beworried about garbage stench.
“You’re moving (the food) partof the garbage that smells andattracts flies (to the compost) thatwill be picked up weekly,” she said.
NPA city council candidate MikeKlassen said he supports the pro-gram but wants the city to get asmuch public input as possible.

The city should pay polic-ing and sanitation costs forthe Pride parade instead ofthe organizers, according toone council candidate.
Non Partisan Association(NPA) candidate Sean Bick-erton publicly floated theidea of giving Vancouver’sPride parade, one of thebiggest in North America,civic status yesterday.
That would mean the
city picks up a tab of about$400,000 for the summerevent, Bickerton estimates.
“There are a lot of chal-lenges that Pride organizersface every year,” Bickertonsaid. “As far as I’m con-cerned, it’s the city’s job toprovide core services.”
The city hall hopeful saysthe city already pays forcosts associated with theCelebration of Light fire-works and Grey Cup pa-rade.
The money can all be re-allocated from existing
funds, according to the par-ty.
“(The Pride parade) is im-portant to the city, so wejust want to help themout,” said Bickerton, addingthat the annual gay-rightsdemonstration is a bigtourism draw.
NPA mayoral candidateSuzanne Anton went a stepfurther in her support forBickerton’s initiative.
She’d like to see the Chi-nese New Year and Vaisakhiparades also given civic sta-tus.
Vision Vancouver Coun.Tim Stevenson supports theidea in principle, but saysit’s not as simple as shuf-fling the city’s events budg-et.
“These are big-ticketitems. I’m not sure wherethe money would comefrom,” he said. “It’s some-thing I would be very muchin favour of, but we need togo to the drawing board.”
The city spends approxi-mately $500,000 for polic-ing and sanitation costs forthe Celebration of Light.
Thousands of spectators take in Vancouver’s Pride Parade in 2008.

bikes along the seawall —it was magnificent,” shesaid. “Now, we get tospend the day watchingfree entertainment. Whatmore could you ask for?”
Wees was giddy aboutthe Summer Live schedule,especially when she sawthat Spirit of the West wasplaying yesterday.
The festival attractedthousands of people overthe weekend, and featuredmusical acts such as Moth-er Mother, Daniel Wesleyand the Vancouver Sym-phony Orchestra.

Seventeen new intersec-tion-safety cameras wereinstalled and activated inVancouver on Friday, fol-lowing a spike in trafficdeaths in the city.
The installations consti-tute the second phase ofB.C.’s program, which willadd 43 cameras in Vancou-ver and 140 throughout
the province by the end ofthe year.
Premier Christy Clarksaid in a statement that“the cameras will make in-
tersections safer by hold-ing dangerous drivers ac-countable.”
Police report that inter-section collisions are oftenmore serious because vehi-cles are moving at highspeeds and hitting eachother at right angles.
The cameras will be in-stalled at some of Vancou-
ver’s busiest intersections,including Burrard atDavie, Hastings and Main,and East 1st at Commercial.
Thirteen people, includ-ing eight pedestrians, havedied in traffic in theprovince this year, alreadyexceeding last year’s totalof nine. DAVID PROCTER

Plea for aid in ‘worsthumanitarian disaster’
Thousands of Somali families are fleeing their drought-stricken homecountry But refugee camps are full, lack adequate food and shelter
Luul Jeele, 23, holds her one-year-old son Issack Ahmed yesterday as she waits
for her father to construct a makeshift shelter for their family, on the outskirts
of the Dagahaley camp, outside Dadaab, Kenya. It took the 15-person family of
Rage Mohamed five days to make the journey from their drought-stricken
home in Somalia. They spent two nights sleeping in the open air under
a thorny acacia tree prior to receiving tarps yesterday.
The head of the UNrefugee agency said yester-day that drought-riddenSomalia is the “worst hu-manitarian disaster” in theworld after meeting withrefugees who endured un-speakable hardship toreach the world’s largestrefugee camp.
The Kenyan camp,Dadaab, is overflowingwith tens of thousands ofnewly arrived refugeesforced into the camp bythe parched landscape inthe region where Somalia,Ethiopia and Kenya meet.The World Food Programestimates that 10 millionpeople already need hu-manitarian aid. The UN
Children’s Fund estimatesthat more than 2 millionchildren are malnourishedand in need of lifesavingaction.
Antonio Guterres, thehead of UNHCR who visit-ed Dadaab yesterday, ap-pealed to the world tosupply the “massive sup-port” needed by thousandsof refugees showing up atthis camp every week.More than 380,000refugees now live there.
In Dadaab, Guterresspoke with a Somali moth-er who lost three of herchildren during a 35-daywalk to reach the camp.Guterres said Dadaabholds “the poorest of the
poor and the most vulnera-ble of the vulnerable.”
“I became a bit insaneafter I lost them,” said themother, Muslima Aden. “Ilost them in differenttimes on my way.”
Guterres is on a tour ofthe region to highlight thedire need. On Thursday hewas in the Ethiopian campof Dollo Ado, a camp thatis also overflowing.
“The mortality rates weare witnessing are threetimes the level of emer-gency ceilings,” he said.“The level of malnutritionof the children coming inis 50 per cent. That isenough to explain why avery high level of mortali-ty is inevitable,” he said.
Dr. Dejene Kebede, ahealth officer for UNHCR,said there were 58 deathsin camps in one weekalone in June. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“Nothing cancompare to whatwe have seen thismonth.... I believeSomalia representsthe worsthumanitariandisaster in theworld.”ANTONIO GUTERRES, UNHCR HEAD

Celebrations rang outSaturday in the South Su-dan capital of Juba, the firstday of independence afterdecades of civil war be-tween Sudan’s north andsouth. Some two million

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 of the168-year-old tabloid hasnot tempered British angerover improprieties by jour-nalists working for Mur-doch, and his $19-billionUS deal to take full controlof British Sky Broadcastingremains in jeopardy.
The drama has expand-ed at breakneck pace afterallegations News of theWorld journalists paid po-lice for information andhacked into the voicemailsof young murder victimsand the grieving families
of dead soldiers. Threepeople have been arrested,including ConservativePrime Minister DavidCameron’s former commu-nications chief.
The Guardian newspa-per reported yesterdaythat emails and memosfrom 2007 only recently
turned over to police showNews International, theU.K. newspaper division ofMurdoch’s News Corp.,was aware that phonehacking was more wide-spread than publicly ac-knowledged.
The scandal has the po-tential to bring down thegovernment. Yesterday,Nick Clegg, leader of theLiberal Democrats, threat-ened to split the coalitionby siding with Labour’splan to block Murdoch’stakeover of BSkyB.
Closing down the Newsof the World is seen bysome as a desperate at-tempt to stem negativefallout and thus to saveMurdoch’s bid.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THOUGHTSTHAT MAY TAXYOUR BRAIN
Like everyone else in BritishColumbia, I was faced with adecision over the weekend:To vote yes or no on the HST.
So I did. Then, as if it werea radioactive isotope, I
wrapped my vote in three separateenvelopes and sent it off to Victoria,where I’m led to believe it will be part ofthe tally that either keeps or kills theHST.
Want to know how I voted? I’ll bet youdo.
But first, here’s what I thought before I voted.I thought I have never felt more insulted as a citizen
than I did when, nine weeks after promising the HSTwas not on the government’s radar, Premier GordonCampbell got himself re-elected, then went ahead andimplemented the tax anyway.
I thought that instead ofjust charging my businessclients five per cent, all of asudden I was required tocharge them 12 per cent,and, somehow, that wassupposed to be good for allof us.
I then thought that theopponents of the HST havenever made a successful ar-gument in favour of restor-ing the old GST/PST system,especially after the govern-ment moved to soften theblow by promising to bringit down to 10 per cent by2014.
I also thought that notone of us understands whatthe tax landscape will looklike if the HST is voteddown. Will the former PSTexemptions apply? Or is
this just a prelude to a costly wrangle that promises todrag on well into the 21st century?
I then thought that the most ridiculous thing I haveever seen is the NDP pretending to lead a revolt againstpaying taxes. Any party that really believes in a civil so-ciety and a social safety net also has to admit it supportsprogressive taxation; yet the NDP is playing politics andis pretending it has the same outlook as Bill VanderZalm.
I remembered that in Ontario, the Canadian AutoWorkers union is warning against an anti-HST revolt.Here in B.C., it’s promoting one. Politics again.
I remembered that, although its leader has changed,the government in Victoria is the same one thatimposed the HST in the first place, and why should I be-lieve anything it says?
I thought what it comes down to is this: Either vote infavour of keeping a good tax dishonestly imposed, orvote for a dumb old tax we never had a real chance tokick to the curb.
Why, I finally thought, should I vote for a dumb oldtax, no matter what?
So I didn’t. I voted no.

DVUR KRALOVE, CzechRepublic. She’s the lastnorthern white rhinocer-os on view anywhere inEurope — but zookeep-ers are hoping lonelyNabire will find solacewith a southern rhino 11years her senior.
Another northernwhite — Nesari — diedhere in her sleep in Mayat age 39, further reduc-ing the world’sdwindling population ofthe critically endangeredanimal.
To help her cope withthe loss of Nesari, keep-ers have decided to teamup 27-year-old Nabirewith a new partner, 38-year-old male Natal. Na-tal is a southern white,another rhinosubspecies.
They were seen snug-gling, lazing in the sunand eating and sleepingin their enclosure latelast week.
With rhino horns con-sidered a cure for every-thing from colds andfevers to high blood pres-sure, impotence and oth-er ailments, poachershave decimated rhinopopulations in Africa andelsewhere.

Box officeHere’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. 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.”

For Nate Appleman, agreat salad is about creat-ing balance. “That balancechanges throughout theyear and usually dependson what is in season andthe weather outside,” saidAppleman, a star of FoodNetwork’s The Next IronChef and chef for ChipotleMexican Grill.
His inspiration startswhen shopping. “I pickone central ingredient andbuild from there, keepingin mind a balance of crisp,sweet, salty, and sour,” hesaid.
Here he offers a salad oftomatoes, raw corn andcantaloupe dressed with ajalapeno vinaigrette.
Preparation:
1 Dressing: In blender,combine olive oil, vine-gar, jalapeno andoregano. Purée untilmostly smooth. Seasonwith salt, then set aside.
2 To assemble, first standeach ear of corn on cut-ting board on wide end.Use knife to saw downcobs to remove kernels.

THE DANGER OF NORWEX
CLEANING PRODUCTSI recently went to a Norwex party and waswondering if you had an opinion aboutNorwex microfiber cloths? Laurel ofCoquitlam, B.C.
There is an up- and down-side to microfiber clothproducts. The upside:they only need water toclean streaks, smudges,dirt and grime on glass,mirrors and stainlesssteel surfaces. They arealso easily washed andreused. Good qualitycloths last several years.
The downside: theyare made from petro-chemicals. The polyesterand polyamide fabricstrands are 100 times fin-er than human hair.
That’s what makesthem so good at liftingdirt, grease and dustwithout cleaning chemi-
cals. Problem is, they aremade from a nonrenew-able resource and do notbiodegrade. I don’t be-lieve they are recyclableeither.
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.

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.”

Get to the point
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.”
Extremecoupon cuttersspreading thegood wordThe women sat expectantlyas Monica Knight told themshe once routinely spent$600 US a month ongroceries for her family offour.
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 leanforward in their seats.They’re the latest disciplesof extreme couponing;women who carry picturesof their overflowingpantries on theircellphones; savvy shopperswho will spend hours flip-ping through newspaperand magazineadvertisements in search oftheir bargains, and home-makers who have pinchedpennies to put food on thetable during the recessionand need the extra help.
Most have watched thetelevision series ExtremeCouponing, which debutedon TLC in April and followsshoppers 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 littleconspicuous because peo-ple were staring at me,”Border said.
“Then, I felt a rush.”She was among about 20
women who attended anextreme coupon class on arecent Saturday in Boise.The three-hour course wastaught by Knight and herbusiness partner, Cathy Yo-der. They own the extremecouponing blog, FabulesslyFrugal.
They instruct their stu-dents to be kind to theircashiers.
They also 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

“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 propertyin St. Lucia. He is also thecurrent president of Ice-berg Vodka in Canada.
“You’ve got to have pas-sion. You also have to moti-
vate yourself because if youcan’t do that, you’re not go-ing to motivate the peoplearound you.”

Sunshine-depraved? Welcome to the clubIt’s summer and eerily qui-et in the office. Your cubicleneighbour took off to thecottage and is sure to re-turn relaxed and a fullshade darker while you re-main the same — pasty andkind of sickly looking.
You stare wistfully outthe window and wish youcould be out enjoying thesun. To keep motivated thissummer when you’recooped up indoors, here aresome helpful tips:
Colourful clothing Now is the time to bust outyour pinks, yellows, andbrilliant blues. How you
dress can determine howyou feel and heighten yourmood.
Just be sure to stick withyour company’s dress codeand be tasteful (aka no flipflops or shorts).
Brighten someone’s day.Bake cookies for your fel-low sunshine-deprived col-leagues. It will be theperfect pick-me-up for longafternoons and may evenstart a trend of sharinghomemade goodies aroundthe office for the summer.
You can also make some-one smile overseas. Bysponsoring a child with a
charity like Christian Chil-dren’s Fund of Canada (ccf-canada.ca), you can show achild in need that you care.
Ask for flexible hours See if your employer will letyou come in to work earlierso you can leave earlier andenjoy the summer weather.Or ask to work longerhours during the week soyou can have Friday after-noons off.
Get out there. Pick a parking spot furtheraway from the front doorsso you’ll spend more timewalking outside. At lunch,
go out with colleagues orpicnic on the grass.
Try to schedule meetingsoutside or at a nearby parkif possible.
Be thankful Though it’s no fun to bestaring at a computer whenit seems that everyone isout soaking up the sun, re-member that the job mar-ket is tough and beingemployed is worth celebrat-ing. Besides, you can saveup your vacation days andenjoy time off during non-peak seasons — meaningless crowds and less cost.NEWS CANADA

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
University of British Columbia career educator Angela Pau gives a
student feedback on their resumé and cover letter at a resumé clinic.
HANDOUT
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 keypointer 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 complaintis ‘where’s the job?’”
Schaefer explained thatmany 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 if
they look hard enough.For those with a certain
amount of drive, the organ-ization even helps young
entrepreneurs 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 similarservices 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 of BritishColumbia’s Career Servicesoffice has some advice.“Create great professionalstories,” said John Horn, thecentre’s associate director ofcareer development.Whether it’s a volunteer ex-perience, or a travel oppor-tunity, Horn advisesdeveloping a collection ofnarratives that help buildcredibility as a well-roundedprofessional. Those stories can find aplace on a resumé or in ajob interview and couldhelp rank one applicanthigher than another.“Going out and tryingthings is really important,”said Horn. “Just becauseyou’re doing somethingthat’s not directly related toyour degree doesn’t meanyou can’t still build that pro-fessional story throughoutthe summer.”

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 blew a four-runlead and lost on TravisHafner’s walkoff grandslam.
Blue Jays manager JohnFarrell isn’t surprised histeam rebounded from aloss that would have sentmany clubs into a pro-longed tailspin.
“We have the ability toput behind us what the pre-vious day was, whether itwas positive or negative,”he said. “It speaks to the re-siliency of this team andthe attitude they carry onto the field.”
The Blue Jays, who had48 hits in the series, out-slugged the Indians for an11-7 win Friday. Bautista’s10th-inning home run gave
Toronto a 5-4 victory Satur-day and a five-run third in-ning, highlighted by rookieEric Thames’ two-runhomer, sparked yesterday’swin.
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.
Toronto moved withintwo games of .500 and haveBautista going to the all-stargame as baseball’s homerun leader with 31 — alongwith 65 RBIs and a .334 av-erage. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Franchitti increased hislead atop the IZODIndyCar points standingsto 353, 55 more than rivalWill Power. It wasFranchitti’s 30th careerwin, and his fourth of theseason.
Franchitti got a luckybreak when his collisionwith Power knocked thedefending champion outof contention on the race’s25th anniversary.
