Vandals appear to be on theoffensive against cyclistswho ride on the sidewalk inWinnipeg’s most denselypopulated area.

Phrases like “dismountbike” are popping up asinky-black graffiti on side-walks in Osborne Village,but some cyclists say theyhave no choice but to rideillegally.

“I ride on the sidewalkbecause I know I won’t gethit by a passing vehicle, buton that note, the majorityof the people I bike pastheckle me for riding on thesidewalk and stare medown,” cyclist Daniel Berksaid yesterday.

Berk had noticed thegraffiti, but only obeyed it asingle time. Since then hehas simply ignored it.

“It’s a lose-lose situationbiking through Osborne,”he said.

However, another cyclistwho hopped off his bikewhile riding through saidcyclists should know betterthan to ride on the side-walk in the area.

“There’s a lot of pedestri-an traffic,” said Dan Trem-blay. “Pedestrians shouldhave the sidewalk first andcyclists second.... It’s com-mon sense.”

Winnipeg Police Servicespokesperson Const. JasonMichalyshen emphasizedthe graffiti is vandalism andthat the city has posted

signs informing cyclists todismount their bikes whileon the sidewalk.

Earlier this year, cyclistsbecame aggravated whenpolice ticketed a number ofthem spotted riding thesidewalk over the Osborne

Street Bridge, which todayremains under heavy con-struction with limitedpedestrian access.

Only small kids’ bikes are allowed to be on side-walks, police said at thetime.

Libyan rebels raced intoTripoli in a lightning ad-vance yesterday that metlittle resistance as Moam-mar Gadhafi's defendersmelted away and his 40-year rule appeared to rapid-ly crumble. The euphoricfighters celebrated withTripoli residents.

Opposition fighters cap-tured Gadhafi's son andone-time heir apparent, Seifal-Islam. The prosecutor atthe International CriminalCourt in the Netherlands

said he would contact therebels to discuss his han-dover for trial on charges ofcrimes against humanity.

The rebels easily ad-vanced from the west, tooktown after town, over-whelmed a major militarybase, then swept into thecapital in a stunning turn-ing of the tide.

The fighters and sup-portive residents floodedGreen Square, shooting inthe air in celebration, clap-ping and waving the rebels'

tri-colour flag. Some set fireto the green flag of Gad-hafi's regime and shot holesin a poster with his image.

Gadhafi's whereaboutsyesterday were unknown.But he delivered a series ofangry and defiant audiomessages broadcast onstate television, calling onhis supporters to march inthe streets of the capitaland “purify it” from “therats.” He was not shown inthe messages. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Battle Briefing

Uprising against Gadhafi

broke out in mid-February,and anti-regime protestsquickly spread across thevast desert nation. Brutal regime crackdown

transformed the protests

into an armed rebellion. Rebels seized Libya’s east,

setting up an internation-ally recognizedgovernment, and twopockets in the west, theport city of Misrata andthe Nafusa mountainrange.

Green Square has been

the site of night rallies byGadhafi supporters. From the beginning of

August, thousands of rebelfighters joined anoffensive launched fromthe mountains towards thecoast.

People celebrate the capture in Tripoli of Moammar Gadhafi's son and one-time heir

apparent, Seif al-Islam, at the rebel-held town of Benghazi, Libya.

Gadhafi forcesfinally collapse

After six months of deadlock, rebels advanced morethan 20 miles to Tripoli Attacks launched with NATO

Gaza militants agreed to aceasefire with Israel to stopspiking violence, a Hamasofficial said yesterday, aftera deadly attack on Israelisnear the Egypt-Israel borderset off a three-day round ofIsraeli airstrikes and rocketbarrages from Gaza.

The flareup also threat-ened Israel-Egypt relations,after Egypt said five of itspolicemen were killed by Is-raeli fire. Thousandsdemonstrated in Cairo, andIsrael apologized.

Hamas security person-nel will enforce the agree-ment brokered by Egypt, anofficial said. He said Egypttold the groups that Israel

would agree to halt itsairstrikes if the Palestiniansstopped the rocket fire first.

It was not clear if the cease-fire would take effect orhold. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saturday’s crash proves

The Department of Nation-al Defence plans to developa new stealth snowmobilefor covert military opera-tions in Canada’s Arctic,with $550,000 set aside tobuild a prototype.

Ottawa has posted a pub-lic tender for a hybrid-elec-tric snowmobile that wouldallow Canadian Forces sol-diers to swoop silentlyacross the frozen landscape.

The vehicle might be themost unconventional toolin the arsenal of a Conserva-tive government promisingto beef up Canada’s militarymight in the North.

RIVERWALKDROWNING INWATER ANDPOTENTIAL

Interested in taking in thesights along Winnipeg’s river-walk? For the past severalyears you’d have been betteroff with flippers and a snorkelthan a pair of walking shoes

or a bike.A report that appeared in this past

weekend’s edition of Metro Winnipeg out-lined the challenges faced by businessesand attractions along the river as a resultof the walkway having been underwaterfor almost an entire year now.

Pedestrian traffic to The Forks is down, tour boats haveremained docked and sales at shops and restaurants havedecreased. When the water finally does recede, it’s goingto cost thousands to clean up and repair the damage.

Of course, that’s nothing compared to the millionsspent trying to fight back riverbank erosion every year, achallenge that’s made far worse by constantly fluctuating

water levels. There’s an obvious reme-

dy for this ongoingproblem, which is to use theRed River Floodway to moreactively manage river levelsin the city. But, so far, theprovince has refused to doso, primarily because itcould flood land upstreamof the floodway gates.

That’s a reasonable con-cern for property owners in

the area, and they deserve to be compensated. But it’s nota reasonable excuse for holding back the tourism andrecreation potential of Winnipeg’s rivers.

Cities like San Antonio have used active managementof river levels to create dynamic public spaces that incor-porate promenades, shops, restaurants and even hotelsalong their waterways. But it’s doubtful anyone is going tomake an investment like that in Winnipeg, unless the ho-tel has an Atlantis theme.

Premier Greg Selinger spoke about increasing use ofthe Floodway during his campaign for the NDP leadershipin 2009. But so far all his government has done is spend afew years producing a report that says it needs a few moreyears to produce another report.

That stands in stark contrast to the province’s quickand decisive action during this spring’s flood to cut openthe Assiniboine River at Hoop and Holler Bend to preventdamage downstream.

While that was an emergency decision, the parameterswere similar: compensate a few for an action that willbenefit many more. It also demonstrated how quickly thewheels of government can turn if something is made apriority.

After numerous consecutive years of lost tourismrevenue, lost recreational opportunities, lost river accessand lost riverbanks, shouldn’t actively controlling waterlevels in the city be a priority as well?

ANTI-AGING. Babyboomers heading intowhat used to be called re-tirement age are provid-ing a 70-million-member-strong market for legionsof companies, entrepre-neurs and cosmetic sur-geons eager to capitalizeon their “forever young”mindset, whether viawrinkle creams, faceliftsor workout regimens.

It adds up to potentialbonanza. The market-re-search firm Global Indus-try Analysts projects thata boomer-fuelledconsumer base, “seekingto keep the dreaded signsof aging at bay,” willpush the U.S. market foranti-aging products fromabout $80 billion now tomore than $114 billionby 2015.

From organizationssuch as the NationalInstitute on Aging, thegeneral advice is to be askeptical consumer onguard for possible scamsinvolving purported anti-aging products.

“Our culture placesgreat value on stayingyoung, but aging is nor-mal,” the institute says.“Despite claims aboutpills or treatments thatlead to endless youth, notreatments have beenproven to slow or reversethe aging process.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

His grotesque love affairHard work and horror drive Guillermo del Toro Filmmaker seeks the extraordinary in the ordinary

Film writer and producer Guillermo del Toro, seen here with Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark star Bailee Madison,

has loved the horror genre since childhood.

HANDOUT

Guillermo del Toro may bethe world’s cuddliestboogeyman. When I enterthe hotel room to interviewthe 47 year old producer ofDon’t Be Afraid of the Dark,he stands up and hugs me.Not exactly what you antici-pate from the master ofhorror.

But then again, surpris-es are his stock in trade.From the eerie Pale Mancharacter in Pan’sLabyrinth to the deadlymechanical scarab ofCronos, he has trained

viewers to expect the un-expected from his films.

A career spent scaringthe pants off people hasgiven the director some in-sight on why we like to beterrified at the movies.

“We try to look for theextraordinary in our ordi-nary lives,” he says. “That’sjust the normal way we be-have as spiritual beings.And horror movies allowus to live extraordinary ex-periences without havingto go through extraordi-nary risk.

“I have a harder time un-derstanding reality showsthan I have a hard time un-

derstanding genre films. Be-cause genre films give yousomething you don’t get inreal life. Reality shows giveyou people you would nor-mally never talk to in reallife. Why are you interestedin watching them?”

Not that the self-de-scribed workaholic hasmuch time to watch realityTV. When he’s not execu-

tive producing Oscar nomi-nated movies like Biutiful,he’s writing the much an-ticipated Lord of the Ringsfilm The Hobbit: An Unex-pected Journey, or workingon a new novel with his co-writer Chuck Hogan. Add tothat the alien attack moviePacific Rim which he’llspend the next year filmingin Toronto and you have

one of the busiest men inthe business.

“Hard work is pleasurefor me,” he says, addingthat luckily, “I have beensurrounded by a system ofenabling family and I sub-merge myself in my work.”

A horror fan since child-hood, (“I read Salem’s Lot inone sitting,” he says. “Elevenhours from eight a.m. to sev-en p.m. outside in the pool. Ihad a second degree burnbecause of that!”), he hassimple criteria for the proj-ects he accepts.

“You should only get in-volved in things you loveirrationally,” he says.

Tie the knot on a budgetDecades of brides havewalked down the aislesporting something old,something new, some-thing borrowed or some-thing blue. JessicaKavanagh’s clients can alsoboast something black —the bottom line of theirwedding day budget.

Kavanagh, 23, may havehad to spend hours walk-ing the bride through sec-ond-hand stores in searchof the perfect dress andlikely devoted days to ar-ranging the nuptial flow-ers by hand to keep costsdown, but believes thetime is always well-spent.

Creating a big day on asmall budget is a key focusof her Toronto event plan-ning business, J. KavanaghEvents, and weddings areno exception. If anything,

With Kim Kardashian’s wedding nuptials to Kris Humphries rumoured to be in themillions of dollars, we take a look at wedding planning for those of us with thinner wallets

THE CANADIAN PRESS/ VINCENT ELKAIM

Kavanagh says, a marriagecelebration represents anideal time to exercise fiscalrestraint. “Yes, this is yourwedding and it’s so excit-ing and a big life moment,but this is like thepregame show to the mar-riage. It’s only one day,”Kavanagh said. “It’s just acelebration, not the be-all-end-all of your life.”

The first thing Ka-vanagh needs to adjust isnot the price of the entireevent but the expectationsof the couple tying theknot, she said.

She urges couples tolook beyond traditional

wedding vendors andtime-honoured venues,saying conventional think-ing can often lead to adizzying price-tag.

Kavanagh’s advicestruck a chord with AlisonMacKenzie, whose budgetfor her October weddingthreatened to spiral out ofcontrol without sometimely intervention.

She and her fiance werewilling to shell out fortheir wedding attire, theirrings and an open bar re-ception, but felt the rest ofneeded a thriftier touch.

Their decision to servecocktails and appetizers

instead of a sit-down din-ner went a long way tokeeping costs down,MacKenzie said, adding Ka-vanagh stepped in withother suggestions.

“Jessica was great aboutwarming me up to the ideaof doing our own flowers,”she said. “You don’t haveto spend 50 to 100 bucksfor centrepieces. We’llhave flowers throughoutthe venue, but we’ll dothose ourselves.”

MacKenzie’s guests willmingle at the reception inthe glow of cost-effectivecandlelight and munch oncupcakes instead of a tradi-

tional, pricier weddingcake. They won’t leavebearing a conventionalwedding favour, but willlearn that a donation hasbeen made in their nameto a charity that matters tothe couple.

MacKenzie said thesedecisions will allow herand her fiance to celebratetheir big day with a clearconscience. “We didn’twant to be saddled with ahuge Visa bill or debt atthe end of it,” she said.“That’s a great way to startyour marriage, ‘Let’s talkabout a repayment plan.’”THE CANADIAN PRESS
