New team, same city Stamps draft two Dinos: A running back from Calgary and a receiver out of Okotoks In total, six U of C players selected KATIE TURNER

University of Calgary Dinos and Alberta natives Anthony Parker, left, and Matt Walter, both 21, hold a Calgary Stampeders helmet after being drafted by the team yesterday.
Stepping out onto the field at McMahon Stadium won’t be anything new for Anthony Parker and Matt Walter but the jerseys on their backs will be. The two University of Calgary Dinos were both picked up by the Calgary Stampeders in yesterday’s CFL draft and say they’re happy to stick around home. “I’ve played here a lot but never in front of 40,000 fans, so it’s going to be fun,” said Parker, a receiver who played high school football in Okotoks, and was the Stamps’ first-round pick. “This is always where I’ve wanted to play, so I’m very excited.” Parker’s father and uncle both

played for the Stamps, and he said he’s eager to carry on the legacy. Walter, a running back, said he was unsure of his chances of being drafted after making the decision to complete his final year of school at the U of C in the fall,
but being picked up by the Stampeders was his “best-case scenario.” “Knowing my future is going to be with the Calgary Stampeders — it’s a dream come true,” he said. “I guess watching next year is going to be an interesting experience. Hopefully they give me a sideline pass or something.” After speaking about the draft from the TSN studios, Dinos’ head coach Blake Nill said he wasn’t surprised to see six of his players drafted. “It’s obviously very gratifying. We’ve worked hard to rebuild our program and get it back on the national spotlight,” he said. “I’ve been coaching long enough to know that these kids are quality kids. They’re deserving of the opportunity given them today.”

While Audrey Forzani wasn’t able to participate in this year’s SportChek Mother’s Day Run and Walk, her family ensured her presence was felt every step of the way. For 33 years prior, Audrey — mother to Calgary sporting goods icon John Forzani — has been the honoured mother at the annual event, and this year was no different. After losing their mother last month at the age of 96, Tom and Joe Forzani, said it was only right to send off a tribute before the race started. Before the gun sounded, purple balloons were released into the sky followed by 34 white doves. “It was raining all morning and it stopped for the race,” said Tom, tears welling in his eyes. “I think my mom has something to do with that.” The brothers said Audrey looked forward to the race every year and was planning on attending yesterday’s event before she came down with pneumonia and passed
Charity Carrie Ing said she and her husband have brought their 10-year-old triplets to the walk for the past four years and this year’s charity is close to their hearts. Sponsored This year’s sponsored charity was the Neonatal Intensive Care Units and the Peter Loughheed, Rockyview and Foothills Hospitals. Support “These kids were in the NICU for six weeks and well taken care of there,” Ing said. “We’re always trying to support.” Participants In 2010, there were more than 22,000 participants in the Calgary and Edmonton races.

Holding on to hope as soldier’s disappearance remains a mystery The family and friends of a missing Edmonton-based soldier continued their search in the river valley yesterday evening as the official search was called off on Friday. The last spotting of 25year-old Master Cpl. Richard Curnow was at the start of a 10-kilometre run with other members of the military in the Hawrelak Park area Thursday morning. “Someone had passed him and someone else should’ve passed him ... and then he wasn’t there,” sister-in-law Victoria MacKenzie said. The soldier’s wife, Justine MacKenzie-Curnow, said she doesn’t believe the stress of his two tours in Afghanistan as a bomb disposal expert has anything to do with his disappearance.
Police react Curnow’s disappearance is not being considered suspicious, according to police.
His sister-in-law also said that he’s been living on the south side for a while and is familiar with the area. “From what I’ve heard, they’ve done this (route) before,” Victoria MacKenzie said. “He was in phenomenal shape and he has no reason to leave.” The separated, but not divorced, couple have a three-year-old daughter together. Posters have been put up and distributed throughout the area. NANCY GORDY

Search for B.C. man continues
Missing man’s wife found after surviving seven weeks in wilderness She relied on snow and a small amount of trail mix, losing 30 pounds
Sheriff’s deputies searched for the husband of a Penticton, B.C., woman who survived for seven weeks after they became stranded in remote mountains in Nevada, holding out hope that he could still be alive. Rita Chretien, 56, told investigators the last she saw of Albert Chretien, 59, was on March 22, when he set off for help on foot with a GPS unit three days after their van got stuck in mud on a national forest
road in Elko County. While it seemed unlikely he could have survived all this time, sheriff’s Det. James Carpenter said crews were not yet ready to turn the rescue mission into a recovery operation. Deputies from Nevada and Idaho’s Owyhee County are searching the rugged river canyons and mountain sides along the north border of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Hundreds of boys off to school Not a single kid or teacher showed up when the eight-room school in Salavat, Afghanistan, opened about a month ago. “The insurgents told us, ‘Don’t go to the school. If you guys go, we will cut off your ears,’” says one boy. Now hundreds of boys are in class learning. The Taliban have long opposed secular education, arguing it corrupts the mind.
U.S. wants to speak to wives of bin Laden The United States wants access to three widows of Osama bin Laden being held by Pakistani authorities to help answer questions about whether any officials knew the al-Qaida chief was living in the country, a U.S. official said. Information from the three women left behind in the house after American commandos killed bin Laden could also reveal the day-to-day life of bin Laden, what he has done since the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and the workings of al-Qaida. Several children were taken into custody, some or all of them believed to be bin Laden’s.
The Pakistani government has strongly denied it knew of bin Laden’s whereabouts, but Western governments have long regarded Islamabad with suspicion. Its armed forces have historical links with Islamist militants, whom they used as proxies in Afghanistan and India. U.S. commandos killed bin Laden and up to four others, including one of his sons, at the compound on April 29. They took the body of bin Laden and quickly buried it at sea. Pakistani officials have given little information about the identities of the women and children. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Firefighters tackle a blaze at a church surrounded by angry Muslims in the Imbaba neighbourhood in Cairo late Saturday.
Religious riots in Egypt turn deadly Residents say police are doing nothing to intervene Relations between Egypt’s Muslims and Christians degenerated to a new low yesterday after riots overnight left 12 people dead and a church burned. The attack on the church was the latest sign of assertiveness by an extreme, ultraconservative
movement of Muslims, known as Salafis, whose hostility toward Coptic Christians recently has met with little interference from the country’s military rulers. The violence erupted late Saturday with Muslims and Christians pelt-
ing each other with stones in another part of Cairo. The bloodshed began after news spread that a Christian woman who married a Muslim had been abducted and was being kept in a church against her will. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After a steep decline last week that saw the Toronto stock exchange lose most of its gains since the start of the year, investors are expected to cast a wary eye on this week’s U.S. economic reports. Among the numbers coming out this week will be April figures on retail sales, consumer prices and consumer confidence, all of which will point to how the world’s largest economy is faring in the second quarter. Traders will also be focused on earnings from Canadian companies, including Tim Hortons, Lundin Mining, Iamgold Corp. and Canadian Tire. Their earnings will be scrutinized for signs of how the Canadian econo-
my is faring. About half of the 248 companies that make up the TSX composite index have reported earnings so far this season. A majority, 39 out of 69, beat analysts’
expectations, with 23 missing. “It’s certainly positive, but I find that the big picture is really the overall sentiment,” said Jennifer Dowty, portfolio manager for Manulife Asset Management. “You can have a company that reports reasonable numbers, but if the whole market is in a downdraft and no one wants to step in and buy, the upside potential may be capped.” Fears that economic growth is not as robust as once thought, the end of a U.S. Federal Reserve bondbuying program in June and moves by China and India to tighten interest rates have combined to spook investors, she said.

Customers check out the new iPad 2 at the Apple store in Beijing’s Sanlitun district. The launch this weekend caused a frenzy among sharp-elbowed fans keen to get their hands on the tablet. NG HAN GUAN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A few rotten apples spoil iPad launch Apple temporarily closed its Beijing store on Saturday after a brawl during the launch of its iPad 2 saw four people wounded. Accounts of the free-for-all differed: Some said that a non-Asian employee attacked a queue-jumper, while others claimed that staff were trying to prevent a group of “scalpers” from cutting in line and buying up dozens of the tablets to resell. The store opened the next day without incident. The iPad 2 reportedly sold out in four hours.
April brought showers of jobs: StatsCan Canada’s employment recovery is almost complete after a strong April added 58,300 new jobs, enough to finally lift full-time work back to pre-recession peaks. In an unexpected twist, almost all the jobs were created in Ontario, whereas in the rest of the country employment was mostly flat. The overall unemployment rate fell one-tenth of a point to 7.6 per cent, matching the lowest level since the early months of the 2008 recession, when it peaked at 8.7 per cent. The
weak spot was that most, 41,100, were part-time jobs. Even so, the addition of 17,200 full-time employees was almost enough to match economists’ expectations for all workers. The pickup means that the economy finally recouped the full-time jobs lost during the recession, although total hours remained slightly under the peak. Almost all of the gains in April — 54,800 — came in Ontario. Most were in the services sector, in particular, finance, insurance, real estate, leasing and building.
April was not as kind to the rest of Canada. While Newfoundland and Labrador saw a significant increase of 3,100 jobs, six out of 10 provinces experienced an overall drop in employment, although all were modest relative to their population. “This is a pretty encouraging report,” said Douglas Porter of BMO Capital Markets. “What we see is that the recovery continues to roll forward.” Normally, a strong employment report would put pressure on the Bank of
Canada to raise interest rates as a precaution against inflation. Scotiabank economist Derek Holt doubted that would be the effect this time, however. Instead, the bank will likely note the drop in commodity prices, particularly oil, he said, which this week fell below $100 US a barrel. “The correction in commodities, if it sticks, would ease up on the inflation concerns across a number of global central banks,” Holt said.

NOTHING BUT A POPULARITY CONTEST HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER
When I was in the third grade my teacher told us we were going to have a class election. JAMES CALLSEN We were to nominate who METRO CALGARY we would like to see run. Those nominated would make campaign signs, write a speech and all 20 kids in my tiny rural Saskatchewan elementary class got to vote. The position of Grade 3 class president held no real power, but, of course, I wanted to run. I was quite confident I had done a better job than the best hockey player and the smartest girl in the class. The source of that confidence was the teacher, who told us we had to vote for the best person for the job, not the most popular person. If there’s one thing I wasn’t in Grade 3, it was popular. However, when the votes were tabulated, I was crushed, destroyed by Mr. Hockey in a landslide. “That day I That day I learned two important things about pollearned two itics.

Maybe it’s not that simple, but any pundit will tell you that popularity, likeability and name recognition often get you further than being the best person for the job. It might not be right and it may not be the best way to run our country, but until the average voter is an emotionless robot making decisions based entirely on reason as opposed to a human being, that’s the way it’s going to be. Should we be surprised at this revelation? Probably not. Because there’s nothing more immature, juvenile and childish than the House of Commons, is there?

earns the biggest share of its national revenue from producing windmills and other clean technologies, the United States is rapidly expanding its clean-tech sector, but no country can match China’s pace of growth, according to a new report obtained by The Associated Press. China’s production of green technologies has grown by a remarkable 77 per cent per year, according to the report, which was commissioned by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature and which will be unveiled today at an industry conference in Amsterdam. Denmark derives 3.1 per cent of its gross domestic product from renewable energy technology and energy efficiency, or about $9.4 billion US, the report said. China is the largest producer in money terms, earning more than $64 billion, or 1.4 per cent of its gross domestic product. The U.S. ranks 17th in the production of clean technologies with 0.3 per cent of GDP, or $45 billion.

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do ... About 350 couples in Bolivia were married according to Indian customs and traditions in a colourful Andean mass wedding with President Evo Morales presiding as best man. Saturday’s ceremony was held at a colosseum in La Paz, the capital, that was adorned with large white flowers and indigenous
banners. Several bands serenaded the couples. Indian religious leaders presided over the wedding as did symbolically Pachamama — the earth deity of the Aymara and Quechua races of Bolivia’s highlands Indians. And Morales gave a speech to the couples, who crowded the arena’s floor wearing multicoloured native ponchos and hats. Before the ceremony, each couple married in a civil ceremony.

Most working comedians know the importance of having a web presence to list upcoming events, promotional material, and hopefully develop a muchneeded fan base. But when you’re a comic on the level of Jerry Seinfeld, do you really need a way to promote yourself ? Well, yes — just in a different way. “I wanted a very restricted concept; I didn’t want to have a site with like mugs t-shirts, concert dates. I find that annoying,” he says about how his new site, jerryseinfeld.com, will be different. “I just couldn’t wait any longer and I finally came up with an idea that I liked.” Instead, the site, which launched on Friday, is a repository of nearly every recorded comedy appearance from Seinfeld — a career that spans 36 years. One of Friday’s introductory clips was from his first time on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1981 — posted 30 years to the day. Seinfeld, who is very

choices were so good, you are not even going to notice the clothes. In the ’70s and ’80s I look good — it’s the ’90s where my choices start to get questionable.” A comedian through and through — he shrugged off questions about acting in any new movies or TV shows (“act-
ing is for people who don’t have anything to say”) — he told us about sneaking into New York comedy clubs every few weeks to keep honing his act before he tours. In fact, one reason for launching jerryseinfeld.com is to attract a younger fan base. “This site is really about
my attempt to cultivate the world of stand-up comedy with young people,” he says with a slight Seinfeld-smirk. “The same way the skinheads and Klu Klux Klan do — you gotta get them indoctrinated young. So really, I’m taking a page from their book.”
Thor smashed the competition at the box office with a $66 million opening weekend. In second place was a holdover from last week, the car-racing sequel Fast Five from Universal Pictures. It made $32.5 million for a total of nearly $140 million in just 10 days. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Branagh gets inspired by Hopkins
GETTY IMAGES
After 30 years in film as an actor and director, Kenneth Branagh is right where he should be. As his latest directorial effort, Thor, hits theatres Friday, the 50-year-old Branagh said his experience on both sides of the camera is lining up perfectly with his appetite, which inspires a new enthusiasm for each craft. “It’s like returning to when I was 16 and first did a school play and thought, ‘Oh, this is what I should
do. This is what I’m supposed to do,”‘ he said from a hotel suite where he was promoting the Marvel movie. “Somehow I feel as though, at least for this little tiny moment in my life perhaps, I’ve landed back in some moment where I feel, if nothing else, it’s right what I’m doing. For me,” he said. Branagh commanded a cast that included Oscar winners Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins in
Thor, a superhero epic that spans planets and otherworldly realms. Then, while editing and putting the finishing touches on the film, he stole away to play Lawrence Olivier opposite Michelle Williams’ Marilyn Monroe in the indie flick My Week With Marilyn. Playing such a weighty role during Thor post-production “was something of a stretch, I have to tell you,” Branagh said. But Branagh said he de-
lighted in the experience. “I ran at it with a relish for acting which was borne out of partly, literally seeing Tony Hopkins at work, and the others, but also talking to Tony, who had worked with Olivier himself,” Branagh said. “(He) knew him well, and had many war stories, many intimate observations of the way Olivier was, and that to some extent gave me the confidence to try and do it.”
Kenneth Branagh directed Anthony Hopkins in Thor.

Ex-American Idol judges will reunite for U.S. take on X Factor Paula Abdul is officially going back to work for Simon Cowell, as she recently closed a deal to serve as a judge on Cowell’s American version of X Factor, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Abdul joins fellow judges Cowell, producer L.A. Reid and Cheryl Cole, who served as a judge on the U.K. version of the show. The deal was reportedly signed just in time for Abdul to start work taping the show’s judging rounds.

The gender bender Today is Pink Toenail Day for families who promote modern interpretations of gender roles A controversial J. Crew ad inspired the day by celebrating a boy’s love of the colour pink If a girl wants to try her hand at baseball or ice hockey, she’s likely to be praised as plucky. But if a boy likes the colour pink? Well, that’s a toenail of a different colour. Last month, J. Crew unleashed a furor when a promotion depicted its creative director, Jenna Lyons, painting her five-year-old son Beckett’s toenails with pink nail polish. “Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favourite colour is pink,” the caption read. Dr. Keith Ablow, a psy-

chiatrist and regular guest on Fox News, didn’t approve. “It may be fun and games now, Jenna, but at least put some money aside for psychotherapy for the kid,” he wrote on Foxnews.com. “This is a dramatic example of the way that our culture is being encouraged to abandon all trappings of gender identity.” In fact, Lyons and her son had stepped on a cultural land mine. Gender stereotypes for America’s children are less rigid than

So Ablow quickly found support. One Million Moms, an offshoot of the conservative American Family Association, urged followers to write protest letters to J. Crew and asserted that “nontraditional activities ... can be destructive and damaging to a child’s identity and self-esteem.” Just as quickly, there was a backlash from people who liked Beckett’s pink toenails. Hundreds of people accepted a Facebook invitation to join “Pink Toenail Polish Day”
on Monday, and Anne Fausto-Sterling, a professor of biology and gender studies at Brown University, urged Lyons’ critics to “take a deep breath” and not worry if kids don’t always fit a “cardboard cutout stereotype of gender roles.” “Kids explore, sample, test and learn,” she wrote in a Psychology Today blog. “They should have the freedom to do this and the strength to grow into interesting human beings.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Add some Italian flavour to your life Try this Asian-Italian take on spinach, goat cheese and roasted pepper cannelloni MATTHEW MEAD/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
5 portions Start to finish: 1 hour 15 min Active: 30 min
These cannelloni are made by rolling a very Italian filling of hearty spinach, cheese, mushrooms and roasted red peppers in Asian-style egg roll wrappers.
East and West combine for these cannelloni, which are made by rolling a very Italian-style filling of spinach, cheese, mushrooms and roasted red peppers in Asian-style egg roll wrappers. Ricotta cheese combined with tangy goat cheese gives the filling some bite, but if you prefer you can use all ricotta for milder results. Here we’ve called for jarred marinara sauce as a convenience, but by all means use homemade sauce if you have it. Look for fresh egg roll wrappers in the produce aisle (often near the tofu) of most supermarkets, or purchase them at Asian specialty markets.
• 3 cups (750 mL) jarred marinara sauce, divided • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) partskim ricotta cheese • 4 oz (125 g) soft goat cheese • 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley • 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh basil • 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch • Salt and pepper • 10 egg roll wrappers (6inch/15 cm) • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) baby spinach • 1 jar (12 oz/340 mL) roasted red peppers, drained and cut into (1/2-inch/1 cm) wide strips • 10 small cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced • 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated Parmesan cheese

Moving tips
LIFE@METRONEWS.CA
How to be a green mover
Packing everything you own into boxes and moving from one home to another is one of the most chaotic, disruptive times in anybody’s life. If ever there’s a day to forget all about the environment, it’s the day you move. Intriguingly, Canada’s biggest and oldest moving companies don’t agree. Mayflower Canada, United Van Lines and many others now offer helpful, inexpensive green options to help you tread softly on the planet while moving to your new home. “Moving, historically, has not been anything that’s been environmentally friendly,” says Lisa Hulet, vice-president of marketing for Mayflower
Sometimes the best tip for moving is to giveaway those items you don’t need anymore.
Canada. “A lot of customers didn’t know there were alternatives.” Mayflower launched its Go Green program late in 2009. Their trucks don’t idle and conserve gas by not speeding. The company also offers a range of useful, ecofriendly services to make the process cleaner. “Before the truck even
arrives, the moving consultant would go into the customer’s house and talk about what they need to move, and what stuff they don’t want to move,” Hulet explains. “We have a partnership that can safely remove all your old electronics in an environmentally friendly manner.” Mayflower has forged an alliance with disposal com-

pany 1-800-Got-Junk, for example, and 80 per cent of its pickups are recycled, or distributed to charities. “It’s about educating the consumer — and the movers themselves — to offer more environmental best practices,” Hulet notes. “For the customer, it’s about educating them before the moving truck even comes to the door.”
DUPED BY THE DOZEN
I’ve been carefully reading the ingredient lists of all my personal care products to avoid the Dirty Dozen. Then I opened a new box of toothpaste and it had three of the Dirty Dozen ingredients. What’s the trick to avoiding these toxic chemicals? Tara of Toronto, Ontario
QUEEN OF GREEN LINDSAY COULTER GREEN@METRONEWS.CA
Don’t be too hard on yourself. When we asked 6,000 Canadians to look for the Dirty Dozen in their personal care products, we learned that oral care products were the ones most likely not to have an ingredient list. Toothpaste is tricky. It’s one of those personal care products regulated as a “drug,” not a cosmetic, on the basis of therapeutic claims like “tartar-fight-
ing.” What does this mean for you and me? Only “active ingredients” are required to be listed on the package. Many sunscreens, antiperspirants and anti-bacterial cleansers also fall into this “drug” category, bypassing the requirement for a complete ingredient list. For your next toothpaste purchase, look for a product that provides a full ingredient list. Keep an eye out for triclosan and sodium laureth sulfate, which are commonly found in toothpaste, then avoid them. David Suzuki Foundation

From tragedy to triumphant return Struck by a roadside bomb in Iraq five years ago, reporter Bob Woodruff tells his own story HANDOUT
TURNING POINT TERESA KRUZE LIFE@METRONEWS.CA
There was a blinding flash of light and a loud explosion. ABC news anchor Bob Woodruff’s life changed in an instant. In Iraq to report on U.S. troops in 2006, Woodruff was in an armoured vehicle when a roadside bomb went off leaving him with serious head injuries. In a medically induced coma for 36 days, the recovery was long and tor-
tuous as he willed his damaged brain to heal and struggled to speak again. Now back at work at ABC as a correspondent, Bob Woodruff is coming to Canada to tell his story at the Ability and Beyond Gala in aid of March of Dimes. “Recovery is a difficult road but don’t ever give up. Lives definitely change but sometimes for the better. “If things don’t work out the way you thought, find another way or use a different strategy. It’s not easy. Just keep thinking and planning,” said the reporter. I ask Mr. Woodruff for a final thought and the words come quickly from the man who has been to war and fought a personal medical battle. “Never surrender.”

You Khan do it!
Accidental entrepreneur’s mega-popular YouTube videos are shaking up a tired education system It all started a few years ago with Salman Khan recording a series of primitive-looking web videos to help his cousins with some grade-school math problems. Strangers began tuning into his educational videos on YouTube so he kept going and started creating videos that effectively explained the ins and outs of
algebra, bacteria, cancer, deductive reasoning, embryonic stem cells and hundreds of other topics. Now, Khan's more than 2,200 videos have been viewed on YouTube more than 52 million times and his non-profit website, the Khan Academy, has the backing of big names like Bill Gates and Google.

Foundation has donated $1.5 million, Google kicked in $2 million and he gets advertising revenue through videos posted on YouTube. Khan hasn't stopped he spends most of his days working on new videos and hopes his growing project will be a disruptive force that shakes up the education system, forces innovation and maybe even gets the price of schooling to decrease. Perhaps even down to zero, or the cost of an Internet connection. “My mindset back when I started was that I would really like to make something that would eventually be a resource on the web where anyone could learn anything,� Khan explained in a recent interview.

Salman Khan’s videos help to explain various areas of study in a quick and simpliďŹ ed manner.
“I envisioned it as something for individual learners or self-motivated learners, or maybe homeschoolers, then after a couple summer camps started to use it I thought, 'Wouldn't it be cool if this was like the operating system for a real school?�' He believes the Khan Academy already offers a
“pretty comprehensive� curriculum for math and science. “You could even get through the first few years of college with Khan Academy,� he says. Most videos run about 10 minutes and include Khan's folksy lecturing and some simple illustrations. Topics as basic as addition and subtraction are
covered, while there are about 145 videos to learn all about physics. There's a small section on history mostly about U.S. history and the French Revolution - and videos about investing and the business world, a nod to Khan's former career working for a hedge fund company. THE CANADIAN PRESS

How to handle the home stretch Keeping kids on track in their final months of school is all about accomodation RICHARD WOODBURY

With summer vacation visible and on the horizon, it can be tough for teens to maintain focus on their studies during the home stretch. “It’s a huge problem this time of year,” says Judy Arnall, a speaker and best-selling author from Calgary. “The stretch between spring break or the Easter holidays and the end of June is probably the hardest one because the
Active learning For teens looking to regain focus, exercise is one way of getting it: “Exercise releases all those endorphins and hormones to the brain and does put people in a better mood,” says Judy Arnall, a speaker and best-selling author. Whether it’s a walk around the block or a game of soccer, it’s important for teens to get exercise through their preferred activity. If teens can’t focus while studying, they should take a break. Arnall says it will get their mind off the topic at hand and they will return to their studies with much clearer focus.
weather is getting nicer and kids want to be outside more.” For parents looking to help their kids break out of this funk, Arnall says parents must show empathy and an understanding of what their kids are going through. “The parent’s role is to show empathy and to facilitate problem solving with their teens,” she says. This requires parents to be flexible and accommodating with what their teens feel they need to do to succeed. Arnall also recommends parents map out a plan with their kids and break it down into small chunks so that what lies ahead doesn’t seem so daunting. Even if there are disappointing academic results, parents must continue to be encouraging. “It’s important for parents to be very positive, to really appreciate what the students have done right,” says Mark Federman, an education speaker from Toronto. He says it’s common for parents to focus solely on the results of a test or paper and say things like work harder or study harder. He cautions that this is not the right approach. “The student perceives this as punishment, even though the parent may intend it as encouragement,”
says Federman. This is why he encourages parents to highlight the positives because it will help boost their teen’s selfesteem.
One other possible way of motivating them is through offering incentives, but this isn’t a great idea. Arnall says it sets up an expectation and a sense of
Bribes ain’t gonna work
entitlement Federman isn’t a fan either. “My philosophy is extrinsic motivators only work to a very limited degree because with carrots and
sticks, you inevitably need bigger sticks and sweeter carrots,” he says. “It’s a really bad habit for people to get into to providing these extrinsic motivators.”

This organization CAREs for nurses Agency helps foreign-trained nurses qualify to work in Ontario
Just under 10 per cent of Ontario nurses trained outside the country ISTOCK
All that Lia Musetti wanted was to be a Registered Nurse in Ontario. But she was convinced it would never, ever happen. The 49-year-old RN from Sao Paulo, Brazil immigrated to Toronto in 1996 and, on at least three occasions, ordered a package from the College of Nurses of Ontario about how to upgrade her education. Every time, she would look at the pile of papers and shake her head dismally. “It seemed hard, almost impossible.” Then in 2004, Musetti decided she had to get back into nursing and signed up for a two-year Registered Practical Nursing program at George Brown College. But after two years of practising, she realized her heart wasn’t in it — she wanted to be an RN. She mustered the courage and finally started the process
to get her license in Ontario. It wasn’t easy: the College of Nurses wanted her to take 17 credits. Musetti was on the verge of giving up on her dream forever when she heard about the Creating Access to Regulated Employment, better known by its acronym CARE. In the end, she took three credits and was helped with exam preparation. Within months, she had cleared all her exams and now works for St. Elizabeth Healthcare as a community nurse. “I love it and I couldn’t have done it without CARE,” she says. Almost 10 per cent of the province’s registered nurses and practical nurses received their initial training outside Canada. CARE was launched in 2001 to help
1,000 CARE has helped more than 1,000 internationally educated nurses, representing more than 140 countries. Zubeida Ramji, executive director of the organization, says many are from Philippines, India, China and Iran. them get accredited to work here. Initially funded through a grant from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, it now receives money from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. “CARE provides support to international nurses who immigrate to Ontario and want to pursue the profession,” explains Zubeida Ramji, executive director of
the organization. Most have a lot of experience but they have to go through a regulatory process and meet requirements of the College of Nurses. “CARE helps navigate the system so that these internationally educated nurses have greater chances of becoming successful in a reasonable period of time,” says Ramji. The amount of time it takes the nurses to get licensed in Ontario depends on their nursing education and experience. “CARE doesn’t have any control over that,” says Ramji. The college does the assessment and tells them what they need to do. Some complete the process in as few as four months, but most take about 18 to 20 months.
There are many registered and practical nurses who’ve received their initial training outside Canada. CARE was launched in 2001 to help them get accredited to work in this country.

Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal at the Madrid Open yesterday. Manny Pacquiao earned a unanimous decision over Sugar Shane Mosley on Saturday night.
Tomas Holmstrom broke a tie with 6:08 remaining, and the Detroit Red Wings had three third-period goals to avoid elimination with a 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks yesterday. Danny Cleary and Jonathan Ericsson also scored in the final period to send the series back to Detroit for Game 6 tomorrow night. After winning the first three games, San Jose is clinging to a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski and Devin Se-

toguchi scored to help the Sharks take a 3-1 lead early in the third period. Then
the Red Wings scored two quick goals before Holmstrom redirected the winner past Antti Niemi. Niklas Kronwall also scored, and Jimmy Howard made 39 saves for Detroit. The Red Wings took a huge step toward adding to their already storied history. Only three NHL teams have overcome 3-0 deficits to win a best-of-seven series. The 2010 Philadelphia Flyers, 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs and 1975 New York Is-
landers are the only teams to win a series after losing the first three games. With Chicago winning three straight to force a Game 7 against Vancouver in the opening round, there’s plenty of recent precedent that Detroit can push San Jose to the brink. The Red Wings already have overcome a repeat of last season, when they went down 3-0 to the Sharks — just like this year — before being eliminated in Game 5 at San Jose. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

So long, Phil. So long, chances for another Lakers three-peat. Hello, Western Conference finals for Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks. Jason Terry tied an NBA post-season record with nine three-pointers and the Mavericks matched a league playoff mark with 20 threes on their way to a 122-86 victory over the Lak-
ers yesterday and a sweep of their second-round series against the most successful coach in NBA history and the two-time defending champions. Phil Jackson left the court with a tight smile, accepting hugs and handshakes from Dallas coach Rick Carlisle, Jason Kidd and Mark Cuban. It was the first time he’d been swept
in his 21 post-seasons on the sideline. It hadn’t happened to Bryant and the Lakers since 1999, the year before the Zen Master arrived in L.A. While Jackson, 65, would have preferred going out with a 12th title — bundled neatly in four three-peats — this exit does nothing to tarnish his legacy. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bombers select top linebacker in CFL draft The Winnipeg Blue Bombers selected St. Francis Xavier linebacker Henoc Muamba first overall in the CFL Canadian college draft yesterday. The six-foot, 230-pound Muamba was Canadian university football’s top defensive player last season. But the Mississauga, Ont., native is expected to contribute immediately on Winnipeg’s special teams as he learns the nuances of the Bombers defence. Winnipeg secured the first overall selection for the first time since 1975 after posting a leagueworst 4-14 record last year. The move wasn’t a surprise as Muamba was in Winnipeg yesterday so the CFL club could unveil its first overall pick in the Manitoba capital. “I’m excited,” Muamba told TSN. “I’m ready to go back to work and make an impact on the team.” The Edmonton Eskimos followed by taking Rice offensive lineman Scott Mitchell at No. 2. The six-foot-five, 295pound Mitchell, a Montreal native who grew up in Ottawa, was the topranked draft prospect by the CFL’s Scouting Bureau and had been mentioned as a first-overall candidate. The Calgary Stampeders moved up to No. 3 in a trade with the B.C. Lions and selected Calgary Dinos receiver Anthony Parker. The six-foot-two, 215pound Parker struggled mightily in Calgary’s 29-2 Vanier Cup loss to Laval but bounced back with a stellar showing at the CFL’s evaluation camp. Calgary head coach and GM John Hufnagel said Parker has been on his radar screen for some time. “He has been,” Hufnagel said. “There are a lot of quality receivers in the draft and we wanted to make sure we came out of the first round with a receiver. “We’re glad Anthony was available.” THE CANADIAN PRESS
