The organization that regulates

real estate agents in Ontario has
laid charges against three real-
tors for allegedly accepting mon-
ey from prospective home
buyers in exchange for preferen-
tial access to preconstruction
condo units.
The Real Estate Council of On-
tario (RECO) launched investiga-
tions after receiving five
complaints about condo presale
practices in recent months and
has notified the police about its
findings, said Kelvin Kucey,
deputy registrar of regulatory
compliance.
“Some people are being told,
‘Just bring me cash, and no,
there’s no receipt offered and
there’s no money returned. This
is simply your ticket in to get
you access. And what you do
after that access is up to you but
this is how much it’s going to
cost you to get in,’ ” he said. “So
that obviously is of grave con-
cern to us because that appears
to be nothing more than a sha-
kedown.”
Mr. Kucey said some of the
complaints were sparked by a
recent Globe and Mail investiga-
tion into the system of exclu-
sionary preconstruction sales
that has quietly become stan-
dard practice in the Greater
Toronto Area’s condo market. In
addition, he said an article in
the Chinese-language newspaper
Sing Tao about so-called entry
fees also resulted in complaints.
Insider real estate agents are
often granted early access to sell
condos in new developments
before the units are made avail-
able to the broader community
based on past sales performance
and personal relationships, The
Globe found. Condo developers
typically increase prices as each
batch of units is released.

The Muppet Show debuts
REX FEATURES
Sept. 13, 1976 6 Jim Henson always believed the Muppets were for kids of all
ages. But even though his furry creations had already made Sesame Street a
daytime-TV staple, the puppeteer couldn’t find a U.S. broadcaster willing to
play them in prime-time. British TV impresario Lew Grade was intrigued, and
persuaded Henson to shoot his series in London then sell it in syndication to
TV stations around the world. A variety-show format saw Kermit the Frog get-
ting out the acts (Pigs in Space, the Swedish chef and so on) but mostly he
fended off Miss Piggy’s advances and helped the celebrity guest survive the
chaos. Over five seasons, The Muppet Show boasted a guest list that ranged
from Alice Cooper to Rudolf Nureyev to Lena Horne, above, and launched a
lucrative film franchise. More important, the show proved Henson’s maxim

Residents return to devastated Keys

Florida emergency crews continue to search for Hurricane Irma victims as some locals are allowed back into state’s southern islands

LOWER MATECUMBE KEY, FLA.
................................................................
With 25 per cent of the homes in

the Florida Keys feared de-
stroyed, emergency workers on
Tuesday rushed to find Hurri-
cane Irma’s victims – dead or
alive – and deliver food and
water to the stricken island
chain.
As crews laboured to repair the
lone highway connecting the
Keys, residents of some of the
islands closest to Florida’s main-
land were allowed to return and
get their first look at the devas-
tation.
“It’s going to be pretty hard for
those coming home,” said Petro-
na Hernandez, whose concrete
home on Plantation Key with 35-
foot walls was unscathed, unlike
others a few blocks away. “It’s
going to be devastating to them.”
But because of disrupted

next week from a forensic psychi-

Michael Nehass, who started be-
lieving a technological device had
been implanted in his torso dur-
ing his six years at the Whitehorse
Correctional Centre, will arrive at
the Hillside Centre in Kamloops
on Sept. 18, a judge ordered Tues-
day. “I have always said that it’s
proper mental-health care for Mr.
Nehass that’s needed, not the
criminalization of mental illness,”
Mr. Nehass’s lawyer, Anik Mor-
row, told reporters outside the
courthouse on Tuesday. “And
that’s what was happening here,
the criminalization of mental ill-
ness.”
The case has highlighted several
issues plaguing the correctional
system, including the overrepre-
sentation of First Nations in pris-
ons, the mental-health risks
linked to extended periods in iso-
lation and the challenges in
accessing treatment.
The 33-year-old, who is a mem-
ber of the Tahltan First Nation,
faced five charges dating back to
an alleged assault in 2011. He was
convicted in 2015, but in February,
a judge declared a mistrial after
determining he was unfit to par-
ticipate in his own sentencing.
Since last November, Mr. Nehass
has resided at the Ontario Shores
Centre for Mental Health Sciences
in Whitby, Ont., far from his fami-
ly in British Columbia and Yukon.
Ms. Morrow had filed an appli-
cation that sought a judicial stay
of the proceedings against Mr.
Nehass. She alleged violations of
his Charter rights had caused his
mental health to deteriorate.
Despite medical staff’s repeated
requests over the course of his
time in Whitehorse that he be
transferred to a forensic psychiat-
ric hospital outside the territory,
he remained at the institution

Saturn mission in epic ‘Grand Finale’
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has entered the final stages of its remarkable
exploration of Saturn with a series of 22 dives between the planet and
the inner edge of its rings. Launched 20 years ago, the mission ends in

“That’s what sealed our fate,” she told The Globe and Mail.
Between now and then, scientists are scrambling to capture Cassini’s final
bursts of data, including an anticipated measurement of Saturn’s atmos-
pheric composition as it disappears into the planet’s impenetrable clouds,
its antenna pointed toward Earth until the end. For those who have been
with the mission for most of their careers, receiving Cassini’s final readings
will mark a bittersweet moment.
“It’s been an irreplaceably valuable experience for me,” said Jonathan
Lunine, a planetary scientist and professor at Cornell University who was se-
lected to be a member of Cassini’s science team 27 years ago.
“Once the week is over, it’s all going to be fine. It’s just going through it
that’s going to be a little bit tough,” he added.
But what is most important is that Cassini has left an unparalleled legacy
of images and data from a world that has proven timeless in its capacity to
elicit wonder.

T hat the Apple iPhone has changed the way we inform, enter-
tain and share ourselves is beyond dispute. The clunky little
black phone with the amazing touch screen that went on sale 10
years ago, in 2007, has grown in the past decade into a global icon.
The iPhone is far from being the dominant smartphone, of
course. The many brands that operate on Google’s Android system
make up about 85 per cent of all sales. But the Apple smartphone
defines the industry in a way that belies its market share, and it
did it from day one.
The original model popularized the idea of an all-in-one person-
al device that serves as a phone, a text-messaging and e-mail de-
vice, a camera, a digital music player, a calender and a computer.
It launched a global industry that today ships more than 1.5 bill-
ion units a year. The features Apple helped to popularize, especial-
ly ones that grew out of its App Store, have brought us commercial
revolutions ranging from Angry Birds to Apple Pay to Uber.
Not all of these things were Apple’s innovations, but by combin-
ing its own ideas with those borrowed from other developers,
most often those in Asian countries, the company has led the way

Attention Ontario
Chemotherapy
Patients
For years, cancer patients and their physicians have relied on Amgen’s Neupogen®, a drug
taken during chemotherapy treatment. Until August 30, 2017, it was available under the Ontario
Public Drug Programs, but the Ontario Government has now delisted it, forcing patients to
switch in mid-treatment to a biosimilar – a biologic drug that is similar but not identical to the
original biologic drug.
Health Canada recommends that a decision to switch a patient being treated with an original
biologic drug to a biosimilar should be made by the treating physician in consultation with the
patient. The impact to a patient of switching mid-treatment has not been well-studied with this
biosimilar and patients may respond differently.
Until this matter is resolved, we are making Neupogen® available at no cost to patients
currently in mid-therapy so that they can complete their treatment without having to change
to a different treatment.
This is a short-term fix that will only help patients already being treated with Neupogen®;
it does not restore the choice of treatment for people who undergo chemotherapy in the future.
If you or your patients currently use Neupogen®,

please contact our Victory Patient Support Program:
1-888-706-4717 or www.victoryassist.ca
We are committed to making this a priority as we continue our efforts to work with government
in finding longer-term solutions that are in the best interest of patients.

Similar hurdles stand in the
way of educators across the coun-

sides of agriculture, not to men-

In Toronto, Paul Taylor is the
executive director of FoodShare,
which facilitates public-school
food and urban agriculture pro-
grams as well as community
food-security initiatives. It’s inde-
pendently run and funded and
dedicated to helping local
schools overcome these prob-
lems.
“We’re mindful that teachers
want to do this kind of thing –
they want to engage kids in this
way but don’t always have this
kind of experience, and there are
all kinds of other demands on
their time,” he says. “So we try to
come in with our expertise and
passion for this work.”
Students have grown and har-
vested more than 13,000 kilo-
grams of produce on school
lawns and rooftops through
School Grown, FoodShare’s
schoolyard gardening project.
There’s also a new pilot project,
the Good Food Machine, which
allows the most urban of youth
to participate using aeroponics,
mobile kitchen carts and digital
learning tools.
Students are employed to tend
gardens through the summer
months, as well as sell the pro-
duce they grow at farmers mar-
kets, which raises money to help
hire more students.
“We’ve been able to provide
paid jobs for 125 high-school
youth and pay out over $200,000
in wages over the past five years,”
Taylor says.
Selling the fruits of students’
labour also helps fund the Alpine

Inside the demise of Juicero

Half a dozen former employees, executives and investors tell the story of how a juice press company went from startup to fire sale
.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

................................................................
O n Sept. 1, as many U.S. busi-

nesses closed early for the
Labour Day holiday weekend,
Juicero Inc. – a lavishly funded
startup that once sold a $699
(U.S.) WiFi-connected juice press
– announced it was shutting
down forever.
Juicero’s demise was not unex-
pected. Its collapse was the conse-
quence of unsustainable costs,
unflattering headlines and a bun-
gled launch. After netting about
$134-million in funding from such
investors as Google Ventures and
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers,
Juicero was losing about $4-mil-
lion a month. Four years after its
founding, the startup was unable
to find new backers willing to
fund its ambition of making fresh
juice accessible to all.
It wasn’t for a lack of trying.
Over the summer, the board had
discussed a generous injection of
capital from existing investors.
But it was too late, according to
about a half-dozen insiders in-
cluding executives, investors and
former employees. Weeks later,
the board determined the com-
pany’s operations, which required
shipping refrigerated pouches of
fresh fruits and vegetables, were
too expensive for the startup.
Juicero said it was seeking a buyer Juicero’s $699 (U.S.) WiFi-enabled juicer cost the startup $750 to manufacture, according to a source familiar with the company. Unsustainable costs and a

OBITUARIES
PETER HALL DIRECTOR, 86
Theatre veteran shaped the modern stage

He founded the Royal Shakespeare Company at 29 and introduced Samuel Beckett to English audiences with Waiting for Godot

P eter Hall, who created the

Royal Shakespeare Company
at the age of 29, oversaw the
National Theatre’s move to the
south bank of the Thames and
exerted a commanding influence
on theatre in the English-speak-
ing world for more than 50 years,
died on Monday in London. He
was 86.
His death, at University College
Hospital, was announced by the
National Theatre, which said the
cause was pneumonia.
Mr. Hall was long acknowledged
as the leader and prime defender
of a profession whose artistic
health was often imperilled by
financial cutbacks and political
hostility in the second half of the
20th century. That the period was
regarded as one of the theatre’s
greatest made his achievement
all the more considerable.
As a director, Mr. Hall intro-
duced Samuel Beckett to English-
speaking audiences, staged the
premieres of eight of Harold Pin-
ter’s plays, helped revolutionize
the acting of Shakespeare and, as
artistic director of the Glynde-
bourne Festival in England from
1984 to 1990, brought a new real-
ism to the performing of classic
opera.
