COM Watch an edition of the Hustler & Lawless Sports Show in the News Caf� at 4 p. m. POLL: What's the best way to beat the heat? THE biggest voice in Bollywood has come to Winnipeg. Sonu Nigam is a South Asian popstar who's been selling out venues across North America. Tonight, he's playing at the Centennial Concert Hall. Local fans promoting the show say getting the playback singing celebrity to perform in our Prairie city is a coup for the local South Asian community. In India, Bollywood playback singers enjoy the same status as popular actors and music directors. A playback singer's voice is prerecorded for use in movies where actors or actresses lip- sync the songs for cameras. Nigam, who's been performing since the age of three, reached the pinnacle of his career singing for Bollywood. Although a playback singer, in concert he always performs live with his band, according to an online fan forum that tracks his shows around the world. " The grandeur of his shows is always impressive," Winnipegger Dost Mughal said. Members of the local South Asian community know him well and hope his Winnipeg show at 6 p. m. will introduce him to new fans. For tickets and information contact Mughal at 943- 0596. A N outright ban isn't in the bag, but Winnipeg will have another look at how it can reduce the amount of plastic sent to landfills. On Wednesday, public works chairman Coun. Dan Vandal said he wants to work with the administration to examine ways Winnipeg can cut the number of plastic bags in the Brady Road Landfill. Vandal said he would like to review options - including whether an outright ban is feasible - and come up with a solution. The city is rolling out its new garbage and recycling collection system, which aims to get Winnipeggers to recycle more and throw away less. Vandal said " it makes sense" to revisit the plastic bag issue as the waste- minimization strategy is set to be implemented Oct. 1. " It's an issue that's a little more complex than what it may seem and I'm committed to taking the time to examine it thoroughly and bring forward a solution that's sustainable," he said, following Wednesday's council meeting. " I've certainly got an open mind and I'm going to work with city administration to see what's workable." Mayor Sam Katz told councillors on Wednesday a recent review by the legal department determined Winnipeg does not have the authority to ban plastic bags, and it's up to provincial officials to enact an outright ban. Winnipeg's chief operating officer Deepak Joshi said the city's charter prevents Winnipeg from enacting bylaws that deal with environmental concerns. Katz said there's no question Winnipeg needs to reduce the amount of plastic bags, and one solution may be to charge a higher fee to people who want them. Katz said citizens are already using reusable bags at retail outlets and more people would likely think twice about their choices if a larger fee is attached. " It appears right now we're not getting as much reduction as we should, which is why I say quite simply raise the fee you charge," he said. Katz said it would be easier for the province to take action, since it has the power to do so. The province's goal is to reduce single- use plastic bags by 50 per cent by 2015, provincial cabinet spokeswoman Rachel Morgan said in an email statement. She added if the city would like to move forward with a ban " we are open to discussing it with them." Winnipeg initially studied the plastic bag issue in late 2007 after Coun. Justin Swandel ( St. Norbert) raised concern plastic blowing from the landfill and store fronts was a blight. A subsequent administrative report said the average person uses four plastic bags per week, which means there are 135 million plastic grocery bags in Winnipeg every year. The report recommended Winnipeg do more to educate citizens about the need to reduce, reuse and recycle plastic bags, and support the provincial initiative to set targets to reduce and reuse plastic bags. Winnipeg stopped taking plastic bags in the blue box in 2002 when the city moved to a singlestream recycling system so residents did not have to separate their recyclables. Most of the material recovered from blue boxes are sold to brokers and processing plants that purchase the goods to turn them into something else, such as packaging or drink trays. Plastic bags don't have a buyer since they are complicated to sort and can be easily contaminated by everything from hidden receipts to rotting food. jen. skerritt@ freeperess. mb. ca Bollywood playback singer performs tonight Getting down to business Other things that happened at city council on Wednesday: . P3 for police station : City council voted in favour of a plan to use a public- private partnership to finance the construction of a new south district police station. Council approved a plan for Winnipeg to budget $ 18 million and award Shelter Canadian Properties the contract to build the police station at 2321 Grant Ave. . Park improvements: Couns. Jenny Gerbasi ( Fort Rouge) and Ross Eadie ( Mynarski) introduced a motion that calls on Winnipeg to use the $ 7 million previously allocated for a water park to improve regional parks. The motion, which will be discussed at July's council meeting, calls for the city to improve outdated and aging facilities, including Kings, Crescent Drive, Kildonan, Kilcona/ Harbourview and St. Vital Park, which have " significant" needs.
