    The document discusses a study that found office temperatures are often set for male comfort instead of female comfort. Women tend to have lower metabolic rates and prefer warmer temperatures than men, but standards were set based on a typical male body. The study suggests temperatures should be adjusted to include female preferences as well.

    There may be no snow on the


    ground, but in offices across the
    city, women are saying it feels
    like Christmas in August.
    They are wrapping themselves
    in blankets and plugging in heaters to counter the air-conditioned
    chill in their cubicles.
    Yes, women have long suspected the gender divide encompasses air conditioning. Now,
    after years of grumbling, science
    suggests that might be true.
    A recent study says that females prefer a higher room temperature than males in home and
    office situations, but thermostats in offices are still set to
    satisfy the average 154-pound,
    40-year-old man whose comfort
    was a priority in the 1960s when

    standards were drawn up.


    Researchers at Maastricht
    University in the Netherlands
    looked at women who work
    while seated and wearing light
    clothing. The researchers found
    the women had metabolic rates
    20 to 32 per cent lower than
    males for whom air conditioning levels are set.
    Their findings dont surprise
    Dr. Paula Harvey, interim chief of
    medicine at Torontos Womens
    College Hospital, who keeps two
    scarves and an extra jacket behind her own office door.
    Sometimes, she said, the difference in the way that men and
    women perceive temperature
    comes down to the way they
    dress women are more likely
    to have bare legs and sleeveless
    blouses, while the dress shirts,
    suits and pants worn by men
    cover more skin.
    Plus, she said, most men have
    a higher metabolic rate than
    women, which often means a
    higher body temperature.

    The Quay to frustration


    TRAFFIC

    Cutting-edge
    lights system
    causing a
    headache
    Jessica
    Smith Cross
    Metro | Toronto

    Waterfront Toronto is tweaking


    the cutting-edge system that
    controls traffic lights along the
    newly revitalized Queens Quay.
    While the $129-million revitalization has wowed with its
    attractive design, the re-opening
    of the key downtown street has
    been accompanied by reports of
    confused or frustrated people
    breaking traffic laws.
    The cutting-edge system uses
    infrared cameras to control the
    lights. Installed at each of the
    10 intersections, the cameras
    detect when cars are waiting to
    come onto Queens Quay from
    the north or south and only then
    trigger the lights to change.
    The new really super-sophisticated traffic signalization system
    is all about getting traffic both
    cars and pedestrians moving
    east-west as efficiently as possible, Waterfront Toronto project manager Pina Mallozzi said.

    Any pedestrians
    who are frustrated
    by cyclists, its an
    adjustment ...
    Mire Shenker

    The newly designed Queens Quay has lanes for cars, streetcars, pedestrians and cyclists. A high-tech system of traffic lights
    meant to control all the movement is being tweaked for a smoother ride. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE FILE

    But, problems with the way


    some cameras were set up have
    prevented them for detecting
    vehicles. While they were being
    fixed, officials changed the system so the lights in Queens Quay
    would turn red every cycle, to
    avoid leaving people waiting for a
    green light that may never come.
    That led to more frequent, longer
    red lights on Queens Quay.
    Today, all but the cameras at
    Spadina have been fixed.
    Reports of people becoming
    frustrated or running red lights is
    anectodal at best, Mallozzi said.
    Those anecdotes have, however,

    been shared somewhat widely


    since a video circulated last week
    of a pedestrian allegedly angry
    with people running red lights
    hitting a cyclist in the nose.
    Most importantly, though,
    people need to be patient as
    everyone gets used to the new
    street, said Waterfront Toronto
    communications manager Mire
    Shenker.
    Any pedestrians who are
    frustrated by cyclists, its an adjustment to a change to their
    street. And the cyclists who are
    running the reds also need to
    adjust, she said.

    Traffic lights along Queens Quay are controlled by infrared


    cameras but some havent been working. LIZ BEDDALL/METRO

    LABOUR

    Immigrant
    workers
    owed wages
    In one of the largest cases of its
    kind, the Ministry of Labour has
    ordered the owners of a number of Toronto-area businesses,
    including four now-closed Chinese restaurants, to pay employees more than $675,000
    in wages owed to them.
    A group of 68 immigrant
    workers at the Regal restaurant chain were denied their
    pay in a variety of ways, according to evidence provided
    by the workers and accepted
    by the ministry.
    Often they were misclassified as liquor servers, who are
    not entitled to full minimum
    wage in Ontario. Some routinely received paycheques that
    bounced. Others simply werent
    paid for months on end, the
    ministry found.
    All told, the ministry found
    the restaurants bosses owed
    workers $676,693.79 in basic
    salary, overtime, public holiday
    pay, severance pay and termination pay.
    They are not high-paid
    workers to begin with, and yet
    they are owed that much, said
    Avvy Go, whose Metro Toronto
    Chinese and Southeast Asian
    Legal Clinic represented the
    bulk of the claimants.
    Claims were filed against six
    businesses owned by Ellen Pun,
    who workers said was their
    main boss, and Patsy Lai. The
    four Regal restaurants have
    since closed, but the ministrys
    year-and-a-half investigation
    found that the two women
    operated a series of at least 19
    related companies.

    Police seek help to ID suspects


    MUZIK NIGHTCLUB

    Public is asked
    to share their
    accounts of
    fatal shootings
    Police investigating a brazen
    fatal shooting at a heaving Toronto nightclub during a party
    hosted by Canadian rapper
    Drake are calling for witnesses
    to come forward.
    Two people were killed and
    three others were injured after
    shots were fired early Tuesday
    at the Muzik nightclub, where
    thousands of people were partying. The area around the club
    already had a heavy police
    presence due to the size of the
    crowd.
    This was a brazen, large-scale
    ongoing firearm incident and
    our officers and members of
    the public were directly in the
    line of fire, said Deputy Police
    Chief Peter Sloly. We were very
    lucky that this was not a larger
    body count, quite frankly.
    Sloly said officers responded
    to a call about shots fired inside
    the nightclub at about 3:15 a.m.

    Police closed off a large area surrounding the Muzik nightclub on the CNE grounds after an
    early-morning shooting on Tuesday. The club was hosting an after-party for Toronto-born
    recording artist Drakes OVO Fest. BERNARD WEIL/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

    As officers were rushing into


    the club where they encountered a crush of people fleeing
    the scene, a second series of gunshots was heard from an area
    north of the venue, police said.
    The first officer to arrive at
    that area found a woman who
    had been shot. The officer was

    Five people
    were shot today
    and thats just
    unacceptable.
    Insp. Peter Moreira

    able to administer CPR to her


    before she was rushed to a hospital where she died, police said.
    Inside the nightclub, police
    found one man who died after
    being shot on an outdoor patio.
    Another man and a woman
    were found injured with gunshot wounds at the club, while

    a third man was found with a


    gunshot wound several blocks
    north of the venue after he flagged down an ambulance, police said.
    Hours later, police said they
    wanted to speak with two persons of interest.
    One of them was believed to
    be related to the scene inside the
    nightclub and was described as a
    black man 25 to 26 years of age,
    about six feet in height with a
    fresh buzz cut, wearing a light
    purple crew-neck sweater with
    a colourful design on the front
    and dark blue jeans.
    The second man was described as a brown man with
    a skinny build, aged 24 to 28
    years, about 5 feet 10 inches tall,
    wearing a yellow and burgundy
    plaid button-up shirt.
    Police asked for the publics
    help identifying the two men
    and asked for witnesses to share
    their accounts of what had happened in and around the club.
    Five people were shot today
    and thats just unacceptable,
    said Insp. Peter Moreira.
    This is a cowardly act where
    the perpetrators rely upon the
    fear and silence of a great number of people there to continue

    A *pile of fall savings!

    73
    In a statement, Muzik said
    it had 73 professional
    security guards on duty for
    the party, including 15
    specially-trained guards
    performing body searches
    on all patrons, and 10
    armed Toronto police
    officers on paid duty.
    TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

    to lead this kind of life and that


    concerns us. Its something our
    investigators are well aware of.
    The nightclub was hosting
    the official OVO Fest after-party
    featuring Toronto rapper Drake.
    Toronto Police Supt. Frank
    Bergen said the victims of Tuesdays shooting were in their 20s
    and 30s.
    Muziks owner, Zlatko Starkovski, said the club is co-operating with authorities.
    Police said it was unclear how
    a gun got into the club with such
    tight security and so many officers outside, but noted that the
    large area also has a pool that is
    surrounded by a fence, but is
    not airtight. THE CANADIAN PRESS

    There are 1.3 million officially unemployed people in

    There are fewer young people working today than in

    The Harper Conservatives plans for health care will result
    in a $36 billion funding shortfall over 10 years, meaning
    longer wait times and cuts to services.

    Stephen Harper has a lot to answer for.

    Farrell was initially charged
    with assaulting Watson by
    grabbing his lapel, and testified at her trial that she was
    trying to help him catch the
    people who had apparently
    assaulted a woman behind a
    convenience store.
    Ontario Court Justice George

    Tories promise
    home reno tax
    break when
    economy allows
    Stephen Harper has delivered the
    first big-budget promise of the
    Conservative election campaign:
    a permanent home-renovation
    tax credit that will cost taxpayers $1.5 billion a year once implemented.
    However, Harper says the
    credit a more modest version of a temporary credit the
    government first introduced
    in 2009 wont be introduced
    until economic circumstances
    permit, perhaps the middle of
    a Tory mandate.
    While the original credit
    applied to renovation costs of
    up to $10,000, the ceiling for
    the permanent credit has been
    lowered to $5,000.
    Speaking at a campaign event
    in Toronto, Harper said the credit, which would apply to renovation work done on houses,
    cottages and condominiums
    owned for personal use, would

    The City of Abbotsford is wrong


    to criminalize the homeless
    with bylaws that prohibit
    people from setting up camps in
    public spaces, a lawyer argues.
    David Wotherspoon, with the
    Pivot Legal Society, said the city
    has discriminated against the
    homeless through various measures including dumping chicken
    manure on an encampment.
    He wants a B.C. Supreme
    Court judge to declare such
    tactics unconstitutional.
    The city is blaming the
    homeless for leaving human
    waste at camps but isnt providing needed services, Wotherspoon told Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson on Tuesday.
    People make garbage,
    people have to urinate, people
    have to defecate. They have
    to do it somewhere, he said.
    Blaming Abbotsfords
    homeless for the existence of
    those circumstances is, effectively, blaming the victim, said

    Two killed, 32 to hospital


    as storm fells circus tent
    INVESTIGATION

    Unclear why
    show went on
    during weather
    warning
    Fire officials said Tuesday its
    not clear why a circus operator
    in eastern United States proceeded with a show minutes
    after the National Weather
    Service put out a severe storm
    warning.
    Strong winds collapsed the
    circus tent, killing two spectators and sending about 32
    others to hospitals.
    New Hampshires fire
    marshal Bill Degnan said its
    the responsibility of the circus operator to monitor the
    weather.
    The show started seven minutes after the storm warning
    Monday afternoon some 90
    miles (145 kilometres) north
    of the state capital Concord.
    The storm blew through

    with about 100 people inside


    the tent.
    I see these very large metal
    poles that are in the ground
    and go through the top of the
    tent; I see them starting to
    come out of the ground and
    fly up, into the air toward us,
    witness Heidi Medeiros, attending with her three-yearold son, told a local TV station.
    She said 10 to 30 seconds later,
    the pole slammed onto the
    bleacher where she and her
    son had been sitting.
    The circus operator, Floridabased Walker International
    Events, did not provide immediate comment.
    Walkers president, John
    Caudill Jr., has a history of
    transgressions, primarily
    while operating another company, Walker Brothers Circus, Inc.
    A decade ago, Caudill and
    his associates agreed to pay
    a $25,000 fine for a series of
    violations while operating
    without an Animal Welfare

    SANDRA BLAND

    Family
    sues
    police
    The family of a black woman
    found dead in a Texas jail
    three days after a confrontation with a white state police
    officer filed a wrongful-death
    lawsuit Tuesday against the officer and other officials, saying
    it was a last resort after being
    unable to get enough information about the case.
    Sandra Bland, a Chicagoarea woman, died by what authorities say was suicide in
    her Waller County jail cell on
    July 13. Her family and others
    previously questioned that,
    and criticized the trooper who
    stopped her for failing to signal
    a lane change.
    The lawsuit contends Encinia falsified the assault allegation to take Bland into custody,
    that Waller County jail personnel failed to keep her safe
    and free from psychological
    injury or harm, and that she
    was placed in a cell with a
    variety of inappropriate items
    for a jail cell, including a large
    garbage can, garbage bags, exposed beams, cords, and other
    items. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    RELIGION

    Mormons publish
    pic of sacred stone
    The Mormon church for the
    first time is publishing photos
    of a small sacred stone it believes founder Joseph Smith
    used to help translate the story
    that became the basis of the
    religion.
    The pictures of the smooth,
    brown, egg-sized rock are part
    of a new book that also contains photos of the first printers manuscript of the Book
    of Mormon. Officials with The
    Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints unveiled it Tuesday
    at a news conference in Salt
    Lake City.
    Its the religions latest step
    in a push to be more transparent about its history and tenets.
    The churchs effort in recent
    years to be more open about
    its past was triggered by the
    religions increasing prominence as its membership tripled
    over the past three decades to

    15 million worldwide today.


    Questions emerged about the
    burgeoning faith, with some
    criticizing it for being secretive
    about its beliefs and practices.
    Mormons believe that 185
    years ago, Smith found gold
    plates engraved with writing
    in ancient Egyptian in upstate
    New York. They say that God
    helped him translate the text
    using the stone and other tools,
    which became known as the
    Book of Mormon.
    The pictures in the new book
    show different angles of a stone
    that is dark brown with lighter brown swirls, the size and
    shape of an egg. The photos
    also show a weathered leather
    pouch where the stone was
    stored that is believed to be
    made by one of Joseph Smiths
    wives, Emma Smith.
    The church has always possessed the stone, which was
    transported across the country
    during Mormon pioneers trek
    from Illinois to Utah in the mid1800s, but it decided to publish
    the photos now to allow people
    who prefer visuals to words to
    better understand the religions
    roots, said Richard Turley, assistant church historian.
    The stone will remain in the
    vault.

    Low loonie helps retailers


    BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING

    Canadians
    likely to spend
    more at home:
    Ernst & Young
    The falling loonie is expected
    to help boost the bottom lines
    of Canadian retailers heading
    into the back-to-school season.
    There will be an expected
    four per cent increase in backto-school spending in Canada
    this year, according to global
    professional services firm Ernst
    & Young.
    The lower Canadian dollar
    likely means consumers will
    be making their purchases
    closer to home, said Daniel
    Baer, Ernst & Youngs Canadian
    retail and consumer products
    sector leader.
    We do expect fewer dollars
    to be spent cross-border. And
    when we say that, (we are referring to) people who physically go cross-border, but also
    people who shop on U.S. sites,
    he said in a phone interview
    from Montreal.

    benefit payments from the


    federal government will also
    likely translate into additional
    disposable income for consumers to devote to back-to-school
    spending, said Baer. On the flip
    side, inflation, higher housing

    costs and economic uncertainty


    may curb the appetite among
    consumers to spend.

    Laura files for protection


    Laura Canada, an 85-year-old
    womenswear retailer operating
    165 stores in Canada, filed for
    creditor protection on Friday,
    as it grapples with a restructuring proposal. It operates under
    five banners: Laura, Laura Plus,
    Laura Petites, Laura Plus Petites
    and Melanie Lyne.
    According to the companys
    notice of intention to make a
    proposal, the chain has liabilities of more than $20 million.
    The family-owned firm is the
    latest in a string of retailers in
    Canada to file for protection

    from creditors, an indication


    of the intense competition
    between bricks and mortar
    retailers, online retailers like
    Amazon and fast fashion behemoths like Swedens H&M.
    Filing a notice of intention
    to make a proposal does not
    mean all the stores will close,
    or that any will close. Comark,
    which employees more than
    3,000 people at Rickis, Bootlegger and cleo stores in Canada
    was able to remain open after
    a buyer was found; Groupe Bikini Village was purchased by

    La Vie en Rose after it filed for


    bankruptcy, saving 48 stores
    and 300 jobs.
    Others, including Target
    Canada, which filed for creditor
    protection in January, have cut
    their losses and shuttered operations. So did Mexx, which filed
    for bankruptcy in December
    and closed 170 stores.
    The chain, founded in Montreal in 1930, grew along with
    the Baby Boom generation of
    women as they entered the

    national average, with little


    growth expected.
    Meanwhile, Alberta and Saskatchewan, which are typically
    leaders in the category, are expected to post back-to-school
    sales in the red.

    Baer said the changes are


    a big function of how the
    province is performing economically. He pointed to Alberta, which previously saw
    a retail sales growth higher
    than the national average due
    in part to employment levels
    and oil prices.
    Their economy was growing that much faster because
    of economic activity, influx of
    people into the province and a
    very low unemployment rate,
    Baer said.
    Since the price of oil has
    declined, its certainly had an
    impact in terms of the disposable income that the Alberta
    consumer has, but it also has
    an impact in terms of the economic stability that the Alberta
    consumer feels.

    metros election explainer

    Why do American campaigns


    start so early and cost so much?
    While Canadians are busy
    debating the merits of an
    extra-long federal-election
    campaign, Republican candidates for U.S. president
    are literally debating.
    On Thursday, 15 months
    before election night, a field
    of 10 presidential hopefuls
    will take the stage in Cleveland. Many Canadians wary
    of longer federal campaigns
    have cited the spectre of
    the U.S.s interminable and
    money-flooded electoral
    process. In that light its
    worth taking a closer look.
    1. WHY SO LONG?
    Unlike Canada, where the
    prime minister is the leader
    of the party that wins the

    most seats in the House of


    Commons, the U.S. elects
    its president separately
    from its legislators, in a vote
    between the nominees of
    the Republicans and
    the Democrats.
    The nominees
    are chosen via
    a months-long
    series of stateby-state votes,
    called primaries, which begin
    in Iowa in February of the election
    year and run until party
    conventions in mid-summer.
    Winning the early primaries, and thereby gaining
    valuable momentum that
    will attract the affections of

    deep-pocketed donors, is
    extremely important to the
    fortunes of a presidential
    campaign. So candidates
    have an incentive to promote themselves and
    their platforms as
    early as possible,
    and television
    networks
    therefore have
    an incentive to
    carry election
    coverage, including debates, well in
    advance of any actual
    voting. Hence Thursdays
    debate, which is being
    presented by Fox News and
    comes forth months before
    the first vote of primary
    season.

    2. WHY SO EXPENSIVE?
    Among other factors (e.g.,
    an uncommonly large and
    spread-out electorate, a
    legal tradition that equates
    political advertising with
    free speech) is the fact that
    elections have, since 1792,
    been fixed to the Tuesday
    that falls between the 2nd
    and 8th of every fourth
    November.
    Because everyone knows
    when the big vote will take
    place, campaigns and stakeholders can plan their paid
    publicity well in advance
    and raise funds accordingly.
    This is what worries many
    Canadians, now that we
    have a fixed-election-date
    law of our own.

    The election explainer is dedicated to informing would-be voters without boring them. It will appear regularly
    in this space throughout the campaign. What would you like explained? Email us at readers@metronews.ca.

    Sweet peas: 150-year-old


    study offers rich reward
    THE SCIENCE

    Stephanie
    Orford
    This year marks the 150th anniversary of Moravian monk
    Gregor Mendels first presentation of his seminal paper
    on pea-plant genetics, and
    the effects have been mindboggling.
    Genetics has spurred discoveries across almost every
    scientific discipline, all cascading from Mendels discovery
    of the gene, the basic unit of
    inheritance.
    Cutting-edge genetics research is happening in Canada. Last year, researchers at
    the Michael Smith Genome
    Sciences Centre treated a
    Vancouver womans late-stage
    colon cancer through a pilot
    project to tailor cancer treatments to individual patients.
    The woman had enrolled in
    an experimental program to
    treat cancer according to its

    unique genome.
    Genomics, the study of an
    organisms full set of genetic
    material, has been made
    more efficient through rapidly evolving technologies for
    DNA sequencing.
    Twelve years ago it cost
    $2.7 billion to sequence one
    human genome. Now it costs
    about $1,000.
    By decoding the genetic
    blueprint of the cancer patients particular tumour,
    her doctors identified a protein that was crucial to its
    growth. They realized that
    this proteins actions could be
    stopped by a widely available
    blood-pressure pill.
    The treatment the doctors
    identified put her cancer into
    complete remission in five
    weeks, and it wouldnt have
    been possible without genomics.
    Nor would it be possible,
    as it now is, to prevent a
    child with the rare genetic
    condition called phenylketonuria from developing

    Its a crucial tool


    that will help
    humanity take
    on the biggest
    challenges of the
    coming decades
    brain damage, by giving her
    a diet without one particular
    amino acid.
    The list of tangible, appreciable benefits goes on and
    on.
    Consider:
    r Diabetics now pay less for
    better maintenance of their
    condition thanks to higherquality insulin produced
    with genetically engineered
    bacteria.
    r The Canadian canola industry has reduced its carbon
    emissions by one million
    tonnes per year since the 90s
    when it started planting canola crops genetically modified
    to tolerate herbicides.
    r At the end of July, the Strategic Salmon Health Initia-

    tive which does research


    assessing the health of the
    wild and farmed salmon we
    fish, sell and eat began the
    implementation phase for a
    new technology that assesses
    the microbes on wild and
    farmed salmon. The research
    will ultimately help us breed
    farmed salmon more sustainably, with genes that make
    them more resistant to viruses and bacteria, and less likely
    to spread them to the wild
    population.
    None of these phenomena
    would be possible without
    genetics, and the applications
    are endless.
    Genetics research today
    isnt just about pea plants or
    the colour of your eyes. Its
    a crucial tool that will help
    humanity take on the biggest challenges of the coming
    decades.

    Media already bored


    by just-announced
    election campaign
    At work yesterday morning,
    my colleagues were fretting.
    Our 11-week election campaign (78 days, moaned the
    anal-retentive National Post)
    is being greeted with preemptive exhaustion, they said,
    and all the buzz of a slowly
    deflating balloon.
    The media already seemed
    bored with the whole thing,
    said J. Two papers had the
    headlines And theyre off. It
    just sounded like jogging or
    something but this is really
    monumental!
    Im more interested in
    Hillary Clinton than any of our
    people. Why is that? Thats
    terrible! he added.
    L. blamed the media.
    Hillary Clinton is more of a
    celebrity.
    I think people are just
    fascinated with American
    politics, A. mused.
    Well, they make a spectacle of it, I said.
    A long campaign means
    its less democratic. Its more
    expensive to do it and thus
    accessible to fewer people,
    L. fumed. Thats a problem.
    Thats a democratic problem.
    (Stephen Harper has a hefty
    war-chest advantage).
    Ive been hearing about the
    Pan Am games since November, hot and heavy all the time,
    but an 11-week election that
    actually matters and were
    torn up! A. exclaimed.
    There are benefits, she said.
    Namely, gaffes. In an 11-week
    campaign trail there are so

    many extra days for people to


    show who they are, accidentally, for Justin Trudeau to drop
    that baby hes juggling.
    I think we as the media
    should be trying to add more
    high drama to our politics,
    suggested J.
    We dont really tell the human stories, I agreed, a recent
    profile of Vegas girl NDP MP
    Ruth Ellen Brasseau notwithstanding.
    I find your conversation
    funny, like, Oh, democracy
    we need to focus less on
    policy, more on faces! L.
    snarked.
    No. Policy too, J. countered. Theres lot of big, long
    serious articles in the States.
    You cant have policy
    without the people who are
    advocating for it, I added.
    U.S. politics has built-in
    drama, J. argued. A whole
    bunch of people vying for the
    top spot on both sides, and
    finally just down to two, mano
    a mano.
    You cant do that in a parliamentary system, and parliamentary systems are actually
    really good because you can
    have minority governments,
    L. pointed out.
    So, OK, that piece we cant
    do anything about, but theres
    lots of other things we can do,
    J. said, hopefully.
    The chatter came to an
    unresolved close. They had
    a paper to put out, filled with
    high-drama election coverage
    for another 76 days.

    For Metro

    You are what you eat. This old


    maxim has perhaps never been
    as true as it is today. Starting
    first thing in the morning,
    every food and drink choice
    you make has become shorthand for who you are at your
    very core. No pressure. But, are
    you the type of person who
    grabs a double-double from
    the Tim Hortons drive-thru or
    are you the type to ride your
    bicycle over to the local indie
    caf for an almond-milk latte?
    Whether you live in a smaller city like Winnipeg or Halifax
    or a big city like Vancouver
    or Toronto, many Canadians
    now endlessly obsess over making the right food and drink
    choices that will ultimately
    communicate to everyone who
    follows them on Instagram: I
    know what food is hip and cool
    and current, and therefore I
    am hip and cool and current.
    Partly in reaction to the
    somewhat ridiculous hipsterfication of North American
    food culture, J. Ryan Stradal
    chose to focus his debut novel,
    Kitchens of the Great Midwest
    (Penguin Random House, $28,

    food came from and, get this,
    they cooked much of it themselves from scratch.
    Their interest in food rivalled that of the hipsters,
    but without the affectation,
    Stradal notes.
    His novel about
    a trendy and
    mysterious chef
    named Eva
    Thorvald is
    interspersed
    with recipes
    that highlight
    food made with
    real affection,
    not a practised
    affectation. It features what is now
    dubbed comfort food,
    such as five-ingredient
    peanut butter bars (see
    recipe at right), made by
    people who would simply
    call food food.
    Thats not to say Stradal
    thinks making classic Midwestern recipes handed down from
    generation to generation is, in
    the parlance of our times, more
    authentic than, say, ordering
    organic chicken at your local
    gastropub.
    After all, hes a Midwestern
    transplant who both loves the
    food he grew up with, and is
    now personal friends with celebrity chefs and lives in what
    Forbes once dubbed Americas
    Hippest Hipster Neighborhood.

    he makes the argument there
    is room at the table for everything.

    Achin for bacon?

    wary of strips
    said to be
    better for you
    WORD OF MOUTH

    Theresa
    Albert
    myfriendinfood.com

    So Im visiting at a cottage during breakfast when one man


    says to another, You should
    switch to turkey bacon, its
    better for you, and I pipe in
    that I, in my nutrition wisdom, disagree.
    It is a common belief that
    has some merit if all you are
    assessing is calories.
    You would do slightly better
    with the turkey bacon, but it
    is a highly processed food and
    the most popular brands are
    actually higher in sodium and

    carbohy d r a t e s
    (from corn
    syrup). I would rather see the less processed,
    real food grace your plate
    in moderate amounts.
    If you really want to win
    the breakfast meat wars, go

    for peameal
    (a.k.a. back
    bacon or Canadian
    bacon).
    Here are the stats:
    Turkey bacon (100 grams
    or about four slices) has 382
    calories, 2,285 milligrams of
    sodium, 3.1 grams of carbohydrates and 28 grams of fat.

    Bacon (100 grams


    or about four slices) contains 541 calories, 1,717
    milligrams of sodium, 1.4
    grams of carbohydrates and
    42 grams of fat. Cook until
    crispy and drain on paper towel to reduce your bacons fat
    content.
    Peameal bacon (100 grams,
    about two thick slices) has 157
    calories, 904 milligrams of sodium, 1.7 grams of carbohydrates and seven grams of fat.
    The truth is that any
    of these are once a month
    choices, not twice a week options.
    Highly salted, fried meat
    will never make it into nutrition heaven but it sure makes
    a cottage smell like it should.

    LIQUID ASSETS

    Peter
    Rockwell
    @therealwineguy

    Chemistry was never my strong


    subject, so when it comes to
    cocktail construction Im more
    than happy to cheat.
    Take the Margarita. Invented
    in Mexico back in 1941, it
    proved the perfect conduit
    to bring tequila into the
    mainstream.
    While you dont need to
    be a rocket scientist to piece
    together tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice, Ive
    choked down more than a
    few sad attempts because I
    just couldnt get the flavour right.

    I find using a white tequila like


    the silky, blue agave-based Sauza
    Tequila Silver ($28.98-$34.99)
    creates the best flavour balance.
    Ive had the most trouble finding the lime juice component.
    Squeezing my own isnt on the
    agenda, so Ive tried just about
    every supermarket brand with
    varied success.
    My favourite by far is from
    the Bacardi Mixers line. Nonalcoholic, you can find it
    in the frozen juice section.
    Blend with the booze and
    some ice, and youre good
    to go.
    Prices reflect the range
    across the country. Some
    products may not be available in all provinces.

    IN BRIEF
    Splendours of spinach
    Found in spinach, thylakoids
    could curb cravings when
    consumed in a concentrated formula, according
    to a new study. Thylakoids
    are found in the cells that
    conduct photosynthesis
    the process in which plants

    convert energy from the


    sun into energy for them to
    live. When consumed, they
    release satiety hormones,
    which slows fat digestion,
    according to the study, published in the Journal of the
    American College of Nutrition. RELAXNEWS

    CHEAP EATS

    Healthy eating and drinking


    is cheaper than you think
    You might think you cant afford to eat well, so you stock
    your shelves with the cheap
    and processed stuff, like packaged ramen noodles.
    Leanne Brown, a graduate of
    New York Universitys masters
    program in food studies and
    policy, however, proves anyone
    can afford to eat healthy food
    in her book Good and Cheap:
    Eat Well On $4/Day, a guide to
    eating nourishing, fresh food
    a budget.
    In Good and Cheap, Brown
    argues that limited funds
    shouldnt hold you back from
    eating well because when
    youre armed with cooking
    ability, a dash of creativity,
    and incorporate a bit of planning, the options are endless.
    The book doesnt illustrate a
    strict meal plan, but provides a
    diverse range of simple, real
    food options centred on fruits
    and veggies, which you can
    tailor to your own tastes, or
    use to spark ideas of your own.
    Its got recipes for everything from savoury breakfasts,
    to sauces, desserts and smoothies. It features grocery shopping tips, pantry must-haves,
    kitchen equipment basics and a
    guide to repurposing leftovers.
    Check out three of Browns
    tips.

    with water. If youre looking to mix things up a bit or


    want something a little sweeter, indulge those cravings by
    throwing in some chopped
    fruit, making a smoothie, or
    drinking tea.

    Even fruit juices usually contain a lot of sugar. ISTOCK

    Skip sugary drinks


    You already know soft drinks
    are straight-up bad for you, but
    even fruit juices contain a ton
    of sugar without the benefits
    of fibre from the whole fruit.
    When on a limited budget, why
    spend your funds on something
    that doesnt benefit your body?
    As Brown writes, Except for
    milk, most packaged drinks
    are overpriced and deliver a
    lot of sugar without filling you
    up the way a piece of fruit or
    bowl of yogurt would.
    So nix the drinks and stick

    Ask whats in season


    If you buy fruits and vegetables out of season, youre
    usually paying more money
    for lower quality produce,
    Brown says.
    Instead, stick to buying produce in season, and look for
    canned or frozen items when
    out of season. Brown suggests
    looking for deals on quality
    zucchini near the end of summer, and stocking up on oranges in December and January.
    Buy in bulk
    When shopping for foods
    you eat regularly, or ingredients youll be able to use in
    multiple meals, buy in bulk
    whenever possible, Brown says.
    Buying larger amounts of
    one item can usually bring
    down the price per unit. When
    youre working within a tight
    budget, you wont always be
    able to afford to shop for the
    future, but you should do it
    when you can.

    JON STEWARTS 3 MOST MEMORABLE CANADIAN DIGS


    After more than 16 years of side-splitting news mockery, Jon Stewart
    will host his last episode of The Daily Show Thursday night. Scattered
    among wise cracks about right-wing Fox News and some stellar
    interviews, Stewart occasionally ribbed us Canadians, too. Here are
    three of his most memorable Canadian digs.
    BRIAN GASPAREKO FOR METRO

    Gold medal
    hockey rant

    Roasting
    Rob Ford

    After both the Canadian


    mens and womens
    hockey teams defeated
    their U.S. counterparts
    for gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Jon Stewart gave
    a hilariously insincere
    congratulations to our
    nation. They truly are
    good at hockey. You
    truly are the kings and
    queens of the ice.
    Then he warned, The
    one caveat that I would
    like to mention is that
    spring is coming. And
    then the thaw! Then
    youre back on terra
    firma! And when the
    ice is gone, good luck
    at beating us at roller
    hockey, or whatever the
    heck you do then.

    By far the most fun Jon


    Stewart ever had ribbing
    Canada revolved around
    our countrys most notorious mayor, Rob Ford.
    Listening to Stewarts
    epic water spitting retelling of the former Toronto
    mayors misadventures
    with crack, misogyny
    and the media in 2013
    and 2014 were the best.
    Perhaps his best Ford
    piece was his early 2014
    2 Broken Guys rant
    where he paired Sir
    Smokes A Lot Of Crack
    with an extra-insufferable Justin Bieber to
    ask his audience What
    the f***s going on in
    Canada? We still dont
    know. Were gonna miss
    you up here, too, Jon!

    An extra special message just for


    geo-blocked Canadian viewers
    Canadians love Jon Stewart and always want to watch
    blogged-about Daily Show clips online immediately. But
    theyre always geo-blocked.
    After several complaints, Stewart and the Daily Show
    crew added an extra special geo-blocking message to Canadians to guide them in the right direction. It read: Sorry,
    but this video is unavailable from your location. In case
    you cant give up your free healthcare and move to America, you can watch The Daily Show With Jon Stewart on
    TheComedyNetwork.ca. Classic.

    TALK SHOW

    CBC TV
    co-host
    dies at 49
    Design personality Chris Hyndman, an accidental TV star best
    known for his on-screen and offscreen partnership with fellow
    decorator and husband Steven
    Sabados, has died.
    CBC announced the news
    Tuesday and took the duos daily
    lifestyle series Steven and Chris
    off the air out of respect for
    Hyndmans friends and family.
    Hyndman was 49.
    His sudden passing drew
    condolences from famous colleagues across the industry,
    including good friend Jeanne
    Beker who called Hyndman one
    of her closest friends.
    When my marriage broke
    up in 1998 Chris scraped me off
    the floor, an emotional Beker
    recounted by phone from New
    York.
    Toronto police say Hyndman
    was found without vital signs
    in a laneway near the intersection of Queen St. E. and Broadview Ave. shortly after 11 p.m.
    on Monday.
    Police are not appealing for
    witnesses, though it remains
    a completely open investigation, said Toronto police Det.

    REMEMBERING A FRIEND, COLLEAGUE


    Metros food columnist
    Theresa Albert, who was
    a regular guest on Steven
    and Chris for five years,
    shares her fond memories
    of Chris Hyndman.
    Chris had that special way
    of making you feel like the
    only person in the room.
    I remember arriving at
    CBC for the show and having him beam his brilliant
    smile and say, Hey, gorgeous!
    Chris always set the
    tone of the show from
    the minute of arrival as a
    cheery place to be. I could
    always count on him for

    comic relief when things


    were show-biz intense.
    Once, when Steven and I
    were trying to meticulously
    cook and get important
    news on sodium conveyed,
    Chris who could be
    counted on for hijinks, or
    a silly quip dropped his
    spoon, pretended to cut
    himself and cunningly ate
    some potato chips on my
    Do NOT eat side of the
    table. He would do anything just to get my goat
    and guffaw.
    A spoonful of Chriss
    goofy sugar was sure
    to help my medicine go
    down.

    Honda puts brakes on CNG vehicles


    CHARGING STATIONS

    A bright idea
    for EVs

    TEXT AND IMAGES BY WHEELBASE MEDIA

    DEVELOPMENT

    Compressed natural gas out, electric in


    Honda is in the process of phasing out efforts to develop natural-gas-powered vehicles and
    will instead focus on gas-electric hybrids and electric-vehicle development. The automaker
    is developing a next-generation, two-motor hybrid system that will appear in a new Accord
    due by 2018, reports Automotive News. A new plug-in hybrid, a new battery electric car and
    a three-motor hybrid system are also in the works. Honda will stop selling the natural gaspowered version of the Civic and the Civic Hybrid this year.
    PRODUCT LINEUP

    BMWs
    future is
    electric,
    report says
    BMW plans to convert the
    bulk of its product lineup
    to electric power over the
    next 10 years, according
    to British magazine Autocar. Virtually every BMW
    model would be powered by electric motors,
    with all-wheel-drive and
    range-extending engines
    throughout the line. Even
    BMWs core model, the
    high-volume 3 Series
    sport sedan, would be
    included. BMW has concluded, the magazine
    says, that it must convert
    all its vehicles to some
    configuration of plug-in
    hybrid, lower their weight
    dramatically to compensate for larger battery
    packs, and make them far
    more aerodynamic.

    Mini is touting a new technology that would allow


    plug-in electric vehicles to
    be charged by street lights.
    With its modular LED (lightemitting-diode) design, the
    Light & Charge street light
    is far more energy efficient
    than conventional street
    lighting, provides more effective illumination, and
    could greatly and costeffectively increase the
    number of public charging
    points. An electric vehicles
    charging cable joins to a
    standard connector on the
    light pole, while an integrated control panel allows
    drivers to start charging
    with the swipe of a card, regardless of vehicle model.

    The leaders of the G7 countries, which include the
    United States and Canada, say they will use their
    collective influence to try
    to end global fossil-fuel

    Retro arcade racing rises again


    Three games are poised to take
    on 80s- and 90s-inspired arcade
    racing with renewed vigour, as
    Power Drive 2000, Slipstream
    and Drift Stage look to classics
    like OutRun and Ridge Racer
    for authenticity and inspiration.

    design motifs filtered through


    a mid-2010s perspective make
    for plenty of neon on show. Its
    Hyperdyne Motors Avenger 2000
    doubles down on Knight Rider
    references by accommodating
    an AI called CAT.

    Power Drive 2000


    Date: May 2016
    Platforms: Mac, Windows,
    Linux, PlayStation 4
    Megacom Games Power Drive
    2000 is the most free in its interpretation of 80s style. Shiny
    and well-textured roads, glossy
    vehicle exteriors, and period

    Slipstream
    Date: Q3 2015
    Platforms: Mac, Windows, Linux
    Slipstreams revisiting of early
    90s racing standards pursues a
    3D effect using 2D graphics only,
    for genuine period feel. Just as
    in OutRun, drivers choose from
    two roads after completing each

    stage, en route to their ultimate


    destination.
    Drift Stage
    Date: Late 2015
    Platforms: Mac, Windows, Linux
    Drift Stage takes influence from
    the mid-90s, when flat sprite
    graphics were being replaced
    by blocky 3D polygons. Its references expand to OutRun 2,
    Ridge Racer and Daytona USA;
    its all about taking corners at
    high speed, tires squealing and
    steering wheel jammed into an
    opposite lock.

    Mike
    Goetz
    Just sold a vintage Jaguar sports
    car Ive owned since 1990.
    I guess Im in an adjustment
    period at the moment. Will probably survive.
    This Jaguar is a two-seater Etype Coupe, built in June of 1967,
    with a dark blue exterior, and a
    light blue leather interior. It has
    wire wheels and a thin-rimmed
    wooden steering wheel. As all Etypes of that era, it is powered
    by Jaguars lusty 4.2-litre DOHC
    straight six-cylinder engine.
    More than one person has
    noticed that this original incarnation of the E-type, in both convertible and coupe form, is a very
    pretty car. Enzo Ferrari famously
    called it the most beautiful car
    ever made.
    I acquired the car from a
    youngish couple that lived on
    a farm near Guelph, Ont. They
    purchased the vehicle from a
    used car dealer in KitchenerWaterloo in 1982.
    Jaguar Cars Ltd. can send you
    an official document outlining
    the original specifications of
    your vintage Jaguar and its first
    owner. That is how I know the
    first owner of this vehicle to be
    a certain Manfred Dee Koch, Jr.
    of Grove City, Pa. I assume he
    had the car for at least three
    years, so only the ownership
    span, say, between 1970 and
    1982 is unknown, or at least
    unknown to me.
    My tenure with the car
    in prcis:
    Took out a three-year car loan
    to purchase the car and vowed
    not to spend too much money
    on it until it was paid for.
    Drove it, loved it, maintained
    a file on things I would like to

    fix and/or modify at some


    future point.
    As soon as it was paid for, got
    married, had kids, and moved
    into a house with a rather large
    mortgage and no garage. When
    it came out of indoor storage
    for the winter, it was parked in
    a mutual driveway, where I had
    a good view of it from the porch.
    Fretted about rain; my neighbour began calling me by the
    name of a well-known local TV
    weatherman, because he knew
    as soon as I got my tarps and
    bungee cords out to bundle it
    up, rain was surely on its way.
    Took lots of people, including
    many kids, for drives.
    During the last few years it
    was evident a complete restoration was in order and that I
    was not the man for the job; I
    dont have the resources and talent to do it myself, and am not
    prepared to pay the going rate
    to have it done professionally
    ($100,000-plus).

    WORK OF ART
    The E-type is only one
    of three automobiles in
    the permanent design
    collection of The Museum
    of Modern Art in New York.

    So I sold the Jaguar to a great


    guy in England who wants to restore the car by his own hands,
    or as much of it as he can.
    Because the brakes were not
    working too well at the moment,
    I had it towed to Interspan, the
    company that my buyer hired to
    ship the car to England. My last
    drive in my E-type was around
    the Interspan parking lot, and
    up the ramp into the warehouse.
    After that was done, I asked
    them to take one final picture
    of me with the car. Then the
    owner of Interspan, Jim Robinson, and I shook hands and he
    walked me out. I turned back
    to watch him pull the big garage door down, to close up the
    warehouse. I took a picture of
    the closed door.

    World Rowing to seek


    viral tests for Rio water
    The head of the governing
    body of world rowing said
    Tuesday he will ask for viral
    testing at the rowing venue
    for next years Rio Olympics, and he expects all
    other water sports in Rio to
    follow suit.
    The move comes after
    an Associated Press investigation last week showed a
    serious health risk to about
    1,400 Olympic athletes
    who will compete at water
    venues around Rio that are
    rife with human waste and

    Larin returns home as


    hottest player in MLS
    SOCCER

    APOLOGY

    Rookie has 11
    goals; Orlando
    to play TFC on
    Wednesday
    With five goals in his last two
    games, the hottest player in
    Major League Soccer is 20-yearold Bramptonian Cyle Larin.
    And Toronto FC, which is
    leaking goals at the moment,
    will have to deal with him when
    Orlando City SC visits Wednesday.
    With just five points separating the second-place New York
    Red Bulls (9-6-5) and seventhplace Orlando (7-9-6), points
    are at a premium in the East.
    Toronto (8-8-4) stands fifth, with
    the top six making the playoffs.
    With 12 regular-season
    games remaining, Larin has
    already tied former Jamaican
    international Damani Ralphs
    2003 MLS rookie record of 11
    goals.
    Its been a joy watching
    you, tweeted Ralph, who is
    now a player agent.
    Ralph, like Larin a product of
    the University of Connecticut,
    got his goals in 25 games. Larin,
    who played locally for Sigma FC
    growing up, has appeared in 16
    games with 13 starts.
    While he has been getting
    good service from the likes of

    Stadium. JASON DECROW/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Kaka, Corey Ashe and Carlos


    Rivas, Larin has a knack of
    ghosting into space and separating himself from defenders.
    Hes been one-against-two at
    times in the (penalty) box but
    hes been able to create that
    yard or that window where
    hes turned things on goal and
    found the net, said Toronto FC
    coach Greg Vanney.
    We have to have physical

    presence on him, he added.


    One guy has always to have
    contact with him. It cant be
    two of us just marking the space
    in front and behind.
    Larin, a six-foot-two
    190-pounder, ranks fourth in
    goal-scoring behind Columbus
    Kei Kamara (15) and New York
    Citys David Villa and Torontos
    Sebastian Giovinco (both at 13).
    Giovinco is making $7.12

    million US this season while


    Villa is on $5.61 million and
    Kamara $536,667. Larins salary is $167,000, according to
    the MLS Players Union.
    The big rookie is good value
    in other ways.
    Of Larins 41 shots, 34 have
    come from inside the penalty
    box, according to MLS analyst
    Alex Olshansky. Larins conversion rate is a remarkable

    Altidore answers to red


    card in weekend loss
    Toronto FC striker Jozy
    Altidore has apologized
    for his sending off in a 3-1
    weekend loss in New England, according to coach
    Greg Vanney.
    Altidore, making his
    debut as Toronto captain
    in the absence of the injured Michael Bradley, was
    shown a straight red card
    for kicking out at Revs defender Jose Goncalves in
    the 39th minute.
    Hes apologized to all
    of us. He knows he let
    the team down in a situation where we didnt need
    that, Vanney said. He
    also had the responsibility
    of the (captains) armband
    that night. So hes clearly
    aware of that.

    26.83 per cent, compared to the


    league average of 14.15 per cent.
    Larin scored in his BMO Field
    debut, a 4-0 Canada World Cup
    qualifying win over Dominica in
    June. He expects an even bigger
    contingent of friends and family
    to be on hand Wednesday.
    Itll probably be the most
    Ive ever had at a game ... I think
    it will be a good time, he said.

    Sanchez for three games and
    manager John Gibbons for one
    game Tuesday as part of the
    fallout of a testy game between
    the Blue Jays and the Kansas
    City Royals.
    MLB also fined Sanchez an
    undisclosed amount for intentionally throwing a pitch at
    Alcides Escobar with warnings
    in place during the top of the
    eighth inning of Torontos 5-2
    win Sunday. Sanchez denied
    intentionally hitting Escobar,
    arguing his pitch just got away.

    If I wanted to
    send a message
    I wouldve sent a
    message to their
    big guys.

    Sanchez said he wont speak


    on the suspension until after
    his appeal was heard by MLB.
    Hopefully theyll chip that
    down a little bit, said Gibbons

    about Sanchezs punishment.


    But I think thats kind of automatic too after warnings when
    you get ejected for hitting a guy.
    Gibbons was suspended for
    returning to the field following
    an ejection. He missed Tuesday
    nights home game against Minnesota.
    Although he was allowed to
    set the lineup and address media
    before the game, Gibbons had
    to leave the clubhouse area before the opening pitch and was
    unsure of where in the stadium
    hed watch the game against the

    Kent as passionate as ever


    PARAPAN 2015

    Reigning table
    tennis champ,
    54, still has
    things to prove
    Ian Kents specialty is singles
    table tennis but he faces two
    opponents every time he plays.
    Theres the one across the
    table that everyone can see, and
    the one that no one can see but
    Kent can feel.
    That opponent a movement disorder called dystonia
    tells his body in a very, very
    strong way to do a back flip.
    That, he adds wryly, is not
    conducive to good table tennis.
    And Kent has always been
    about good table tennis.
    He has been competitive from
    the moment he and his older
    brother started playing in the
    basement as kids in the 1970s
    through to more recent years
    when, despite his disability, he
    continued to beat everyone in
    Nova Scotia, including his adult
    sons, in able-bodied table tennis.
    Thats quite the athletic feat
    for a man in his 50s who uses a
    motorized scooter to get around.
    Kent was a top Canadian junior player but he didnt quite
    make the grade for the senior
    team. Rather than leave the
    highest level of the sport, he
    threw himself into another aspect of the game: coaching.
    He was the national team
    coach for seven years, starting
    in 1986, and he continued to
    play and win at the provincial
    level. He would go on to teach
    his three sons to play the game.

    Eventually, I got the courage


    to go back to the sport I love
    because I wanted something to
    look forward to. I believe every
    human being needs something
    to look forward to.

    gold medallist Ian Kent

    Canadian table tennis competitor Ian Kent, 54, will defend his Parapan singles title in Toronto. STEVE RUSSELL/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

    In short, table tennis was his


    life. Then, on Aug. 17, 1999, he
    woke up confused, with a twisted and contorted body.
    Two years later I got out of
    bed, once I was properly diagnosed and medicated, and learned to walk again, he says.
    Dystonia is in the same family
    as Parkinsons disease and it
    affects each person differently.
    For Kent, when he stands up, it
    causes the muscles in his lower
    back to contract. The more he
    fights it, the more they contract, pulling his upper body
    backward.
    Given how much of his life
    had been dedicated to table tennis already, it seems inevitable
    that Kent would take up the
    para version of his sport. But the

    transition wasnt automatic, or


    easy, for him.
    It was really my ego that got
    in the way. I didnt want to go
    back until I could really play,
    he recalls. At that point, he had
    been the provincial champion
    for two decades and his competitive nature didnt like the
    idea of losing.
    He had to find the courage
    to play again, no matter the
    outcome. To put myself out
    there as vulnerable as I was,
    realizing I was going to lose to
    most everyone, he says. Eventually, I got the courage to go
    back to the sport I love because
    I wanted something to look forward to. I believe every human
    being needs something to look
    forward to.

    STYLE
    Im what is called a cerebral player, Kent explains.
    That, and he has a killer
    serve. I gain massive advantage off my serves and,
    yes, thats the reason why
    I beat a lot of people that I
    beat, he says, grinning.

    As it turns out, it wasnt long


    before Kent was winning in the
    para game and back to winning
    at the provincial level against
    able-bodied athletes, including
    his own adult sons.
    But the 54-year-old from Eastern Passage, N.S., has a bigger
    goal in his sights right now. Hes

    looking to defend his Parapan


    Am singles title and qualify for
    next summers Paralympics in
    Rio. At the 2011 Guadalajara
    Parapan Ams he won gold in
    singles and silver in mens
    doubles, to add to the two silvers he picked up in those events
    four years earlier. He was 12th
    in singles at the 2008 Beijing
    Paralympics.
    Most of the athletes I play
    are half my age or less, so I
    recognize that my opportunities for doing something like
    this are dwindling. So, Im doing what I call an all-in for
    this, he says of his preparations for the 2015 Parapan
    Ams, where he starts competing in Markham on Saturday.
