Video of captured Canadian released

Toronto man, 26, booked two-week trip to Afghanistan last fall and never returned home HANDOUT/THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Taliban is threatening to put a 26-year-old Toronto man on trial for espionage unless Canada meets its list of demands.

But the federal government is saying little about the threat or about a video released yesterday by the militant group that shows Colin Rutherford telling an offscreen interviewer that he had been travelling in Afghanistan as a tourist when he was apprehended.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said little about the video.

“Canadian officials are working with Afghan authorities to assist the family in securing the safe release of their loved one,” Foreign Affairs spokesperson Lisa Monette wrote in an email.

Rutherford answers a series of questions on the video. He said he came to Afghanistan as a tourist.

He said he spent two days in the capital city of Kabul before travelling to the eastern city of Ghazni.

“I was apprehended the second

“The evidence and documents found in (Rutherford’s) possession had shown that he entered Afghanistan for spying purposes and was an active agent, gathering intelligence on the Taliban.”

day after arriving in Ghazni,” he said.

When asked about his religion, Rutherford said, “I don’t have a religion. I am I guess what you’d call agnostic.”

He denied working for the Canadian government.

The interviewer asked him: “How were you treated by the Taliban?” Rutherford answered, “I was treated humanely,” and the video ends. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Roughly 1.2 million children younger than 12 in the province with moms in the workplace, says Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care There are 236,988 licensed child-care spaces Gathered inside a colourful playroom at Network Child Care Services on Ossington Avenue yesterday morning, several mothers voiced their concerns about inaccessible and unaffordable child care in Toronto.

They were there to help launch Mothers for Child Care, a task force that will

collect opinions, concerns and data related to the child-care system in Toronto.

the vital role fathers play in securing affordable child care. However, this task force will focus specifically on mothers, and how insufficient child care keeps them from returning to paid work or continuing their education, Blackstock said.

Are 905 cities on the right financial track?

An overview of 2011 budgets across the Greater Toronto Area A scan of city budgets across the GTA might leave some residents wondering why they face a steep tax increase for the first time in years while residents elsewhere get a tax freeze in 2011.

The truth is some cities have planned their growth, found efficiencies and innovated better than others.

Meanwhile, reliance on development fees and political points from years of low taxes has left other cities reaching down to the bottom of depleted reserve funds, even as residents are being slapped with large tax hikes.

Although many municipalities have gotten into the habit of dipping into reserve funds to cover operating cost deficits in their budgets, they are typically

Peaceful pot supporters march for marijuana STEVE RUSSELL/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The funnel cakes were definitely a hit.

It was no surprise that plates of deep-fried dough sprinkled with white icing sugar became immensely popular at a festival attended by 25,000 pot enthusiasts who spent the day smoking joints on the lawn at Queen’s Park.

Especially since 20,000 of them worked up an appetite while parading across downtown streets with banners that demand-

ed better access to medical marijuana or the decriminalization of weed itself.

As teenagers lit up among university students and some adults, organizer Gabe Simms called the annual event a celebration of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Fowl Tour: Backyard Chickens of Toronto Location: Northwest Toronto neighbourhoods, near Dufferin and Dupont streets.

Description: A bike tour of five backyard chicken coops, which are illegal in Toronto because of a bylaw that prohibits keeping chickens in the city.

Host: Lorraine Johnson, who reaps eggs from chickens in her own back-

yard, said she wanted to debunk urban myths that chickens are smelly, dirty, noisy and a disturbance to neighbours.

Fascinating fact: The first stop on the tour had a coop, but no chickens. The illegal birds were seized by city bylaw officers in November.

12 killed in religious riots Egyptians say military, police did almost nothing to intervene in frenzy

Hundreds of Christians and Muslims hurl stones at each other yesterday during clashes near the Corniche in Cairo.

Relations between Egypt’s Muslims and Christians degenerated to a new low yesterday after riots overnight left 12 people dead and a church burned, adding to the disorder of the country’s post-revolution transition to democracy.

The attack on the church was the latest sign of assertiveness by an extreme, ultraconservative movement of Muslims known as Salafis, whose increasing

hostility toward Egypt’s Coptic Christians over the past few months has met with little interference from the country’s military rulers.

Salafis have been blamed for other recent attacks on Christians and others they don’t approve of. In one attack, a Christian man had an ear cut off for renting an apartment to a Muslim woman suspected of involvement in prostitution.

The latest violence erupted in fresh clashes yesterday between Muslims and Christians who pelted each other with stones in another part of Cairo. The violence also pointed to the weakness of the armed forces council that has taken temporary control of the country after Hosni Mubarak’s Feb. 11 ouster from the presidency.

The bloodshed began Saturday around sundown

when word spread around the neighbourhood that a Christian woman who married a Muslim had been abducted and was being kept in the Virgin Mary Church against her will.

The report, which was never confirmed by local religious figures, sent a large mob of Muslims toward the church. The two sides accused each other’s camp of firing first.

B.C. man still sought as wife recovers RCMP HANDOUT

Authorities actively searching for 59-year-old man Aren’t ready to turn rescue into recovery mission A Penticton, B.C., woman who survived seven weeks stranded in the remote mountains of northeastern Nevada is spending Mother’s Day with her family as a search for her husband continues.

Hospital officials in Idaho told The Canadian Press that Rita Chretien was “very upbeat” and doing well with her family around her.

Chretien and her husband were travelling to Las Vegas when their van got stuck in mud on a remote U.S. forest road in midMarch. Her husband set out for help, but the 56-year-old woman survived in the van on melted snow, small amounts of trail mix, and prayer.

She was found Friday by hunters near a national forest in northeastern Nevada.

The search continued yesterday for her husband, Albert, who set out for help on foot March 22, armed with a GPS unit. The area the couple were in is a tough one to search — terrain is rough and cellphone service is non-existent.

Police mounted a search in April but failed to turn up any sign.

12-year-old killed in Syrian crackdown

Tunisian. Rioter

Boy identified as Kasem Zuhair Alahmad Uprising biggest challenge to 40 years of Assad family rule

Gunfire and shelling rattled a city in central Syria yesterday and killed a 12year-old boy, as President Bashar Assad’s autocratic regime expanded its military crackdown on a sevenweek uprising by sending tanks and reinforcements to key areas, activists said.

Activists said authorities also arrested a 10-yearold boy, apparently to punish his parents, and filed charges against a leading opposition figure who is suffering from cancer.

The exact circumstances of the boy’s death in the city of Homs were unclear. Like several other trouble spots, the government has answered protests there by sending in tanks and soldiers to seal it off and cutting phone service to leave it even more isolated.

The continued crackdown suggests Assad’s regime is determined to end the uprising by force and intimidation, despite rapidly escalating international outrage and a death

A man and a woman make their way along a street immersed by flood waters from the Richelieu River yesterday in the town of Saint-Blaise-Sur-Richelieu, Que. GRAHAM HUGHES/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Roughly 1,000 forced from their houses Flood waters in Quebec continue to decline and authorities expect levels to drop about four centimetres per day in the coming week if the weather co-operates. The Richelieu River south of Montreal still hasn’t returned to normal in most areas and many residents are still waiting for the go-ahead to return home.

Giving women a voice — and a place to call home More than 500 women, and a dozen men, expected to attend the first-ever national conference on affordable housing for women KYLE REA

@METRONEWS.CA

They are a group we don’t hear about — women who stay in abusive relationships or those who couch surf with a friend, anything to stay off the street.

But homelessness, and the need for affordable housing for women, doesn’t appear to be on the radar in Canada.

Today, however, marks the beginning of the All Our Sisters Conference at

the London Convention Centre, which hopes to change that.

Until Wednesday, people from across the country will gather to talk about issues like homelessness and affordable housing for women and what can be done about it.

Organizers hope to create a national network of citizens who will work to change the situation for women countrywide.

Conference co-chairwoman Shelley Yeo said it’s a key problem because

women who are homeless are often invisible.

“They may be couch surfing or staying with friends, family. Often, women will stay in an unsafe relationship just because she doesn’t want to take her kids and go to a shelter. It doesn’t feel like a good solution, but for lots of women it is a good solution.”

But a shelter is a shortterm solution since women need a permanent home.

HAVE YOU SEEN ADS LIKE THIS? “MONEY PROBLEMS?” “CREDIT PROBLEMS? Pay NO interest” “Reduce your debt by up to 80%”

Do they sound too good to be true? That’s because they are only telling you HALF OF THE STORY! The procedure you are being sold is called a consumer proposal and may ONLY be administered by a licenced trustee in bankruptcy. After you pay these “consultants” a fee – hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars – they refer you to a trustee to actually do the work (their ads don’t tell you that).

Before you sign any forms, before you pay any fees, “google” consumer proposals and see for yourself…

In order for a consumer proposal to be accepted you need to offer your creditors: 1) 2)

More money than they would get if you filed for bankrutpcy; and Enough money to make it “worth your creditors time” – currently that is around 1/3 of what you owe

There’s no mystery, there’s no clever deals or negotiation going on. These guys never actually speak to your creditors. So why are you paying them a fee?

The choice is yours – if after you speak to a trustee, you still think there’s a reason to use one of these “consulting” firms then go ahead – to date, we’ve never heard of anyone going back once they hear the whole story…

Still not convinced? Their first meeting is free – before you go back a second time and start paying their fees give us a call. We’ll walk you through all of your options and then you can decide what’s best for you and your family.

One more thing – there are NO upfront fees to file a consumer proposal – if someone wants you to pay a fee BEFORE they file your paperwork then you aren’t dealing with the right people!

Warner Music being sold amid industry decline New owner may have to contend with new music services from Google, Apple More cost cuts expected Warner Music Group Corp., the world’s third-largest recording company with such artists as Eric Clapton, Michael Buble and Paramore, is being sold for about $1.3 billion as a global decline in CD sales weighs down the industry.

Len Blavatnik’s Access Industries will pay $8.25 a share and take on about $2 billion in Warner debt and $320 million in cash. The total values the company at about $3 billion.

The deal comes as U.S. sales of recorded music have flattened to half what they were about a decade ago. Rising download sales last year were offset by the collapse in the popularity

of ringtones, and CD sales continue to fall.

That means Blavatnik will have to cut staff and other expenses and hope a new wave of innovation will carry digital music sales higher.

The Russian-born Blavatnik, 53, is a former board member who was part of the group that bought Warner Music in 2004. He has about a two per cent stake in the company.

The sale ends a sevenyear run by investors led

by Edgar Bronfman Jr., who purchased the company from Time Warner Inc. with private equity backing for $2.6 billion. They took the company public a year later to help recoup their investment. There are now just 3,700 employees, down from 5,100 in late 2003.

Bronfman will remain CEO after the sale.

AN ARTIST IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD URBAN COMPASS

Curtis Santiago is nothing if not a creator. He’s a singer, a songwriter, a musician and a performer. He paints and he ANDREW WALLACE sculpts. He makes tiny ring METRO TORONTO box dioramas and he designs silk scarves. He’s an artist in every sense of the word, but he calls himself a dreamer, nothing but a dreamer.

“My visions come to me while I’m awake, while I’m asleep,” he says. “It’s the whole idea of just creating that gets me off, that gets me going, that gets me charged. I’m in a constant state of ‘let’s make something out of nothing.’”

And he’s done exactly that his whole life. He started when he was young, his mother decorating his room with long sheets of blank paper so wee Curtis could dance about, crayon in hand, drawing on the walls, singing all the while.

Now, at just 31 years of “Now, at just 31 age, Santiago has practised his art around the world years of age, back again. A decade (Curtis) Santiago and ago he was deejaying and has practised his emceeing in Europe and the Caribbean. A few years art around the later, in Vancouver, he world and back started his own band — again. A decade Curtis Santiago and the Vendetta Republic — elecago he was trifying audiences with an deejaying and eclectic mix of soul, funk, emceeing in hip hop and pop.

Europe and the He sang, he danced, he screamed and sometimes Caribbean.” he stripped — and then, as he is wont to do, he moved on.

A couple years ago, he travelled to Toronto with his best friend and his lead guitarist, Mike Schlosser. The two started to experiment with his sound and soon Santiago was collaborating with the edgiest, most avant garde names in urban music in the biggest American markets.

Fast forward to the present and, once again, Santiago has switched gears. He follows his creative calling wherever it takes him and right now he is all about his visual art.

On May 18, he will be the sole featured artist at Artrageous 3, hosted by Partners in Art and the Art Gallery of Ontario. The event is homage to street art, inspired in part by the popularity of Exit The Giftshop, a documentary about Bansky, and American artists Radiant Child.

There, Santiago will be populating the space with sculptures, collages of things he has found on the street and paintings. He will also be indulging the audience with a bit of his performance art, creating 10-minute collage portraits for patrons in the style of the street artists who create quick cartoons for passersby.

“My art represents the life I’m living,” he says. “I have to write from experience, I have to create from experience. So that’s why I live life like I’m in a movie, living it to the limit, loving every minute of it.”

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.

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 ban-

ners. 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.

Seinfeld discovers the world wide web Famous comedian decides it’s time to get online Why now is the perfect time to launch his unique website — and it has nothing to do with flaunting his past fashion choices GETTY IMAGES

SCENE@METRONEWS,CA METRO WORLD NEWS

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.

Branagh gets inspired by Hopkins 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 sup-

posed 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

American Express Presale

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 delighted 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.”

Branagh says that when he sees actors performing at their peak, he wants to act, and when he sees directors do beautiful work, he yearns to direct. “I realize now I have a lot of experience in both, and it’s exciting to try and use it.”

TV viewers wait to see for whom the axe falls Shows ‘on the bubble’ are 50/50 for renewal It’s that time of year again — TV producers are holding their breath, waiting to see which shows get picked up. For fans, too, it can be an anxious stretch. Will there be more episodes of a favourite program?

That’s very much in question when it comes to the fate of one of the most popular shows on Canadian television this season: $#*!

My Dad Says. The CBS sitcom, which stars Canadian TV icon William Shatner as

a cranky, retired father coping with a grown son who’s moved back home, did much better in Canada than it did in the U.S. That’s mainly because CTV ran it right after the most popular show in the country, The Big Bang Theory, where new episodes routinely drew well over two million viewers a week. In the U.S., it got no such lift, and thus languished on the CBS schedule.

Pretty in Pink

Amy Richards poses for a picture with her sons Webber Sloan, 7, left, and Beckett Sloan, 5, on a fire escape at their apartment in New York. Richards is a feminist activist and author of Opting In: Having a Child Without Losing Yourself.

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

“I try not to overemphasize masculinity and devalue femininity,” AMY RICHARDS, FEMINIST AND AUTHOR

in the past, but they remain a pervasive part of popular culture and a benchmark for parents.

Moreover, the changes in recent decades have been more dramatic for girls than boys.

THE

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”

T TM

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.”

Add Italian flavour to your life Try this Asian-Italian take on spinach, goat cheese and roasted pepper cannelloni MATTHEW MEAD/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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 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, eco-friendly 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

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.”

She adds that moving is the only time people ever have to deal hands-on with all their accumulated possessions at one time. It’s a perfect time for purging — and that’s a great chance to recycle.

“One of the saddest things, I think, is that storage is one of the fastestgrowing industries in North America,” she concludes.

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-

2

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 (an anti-bacterial agent) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLS or SLES), which are commonly found in toothpaste, then avoid them.

In the future if you buy toothpaste with one of the

Dirty Dozen by accident, take it back to the store.

Most retailers will honour a return.

You could also write to the manufacturer.

The good news is that many toothpastes on store shelves don’t contain any of the Dirty Dozen. You just might have to look at a health food store or an organic grocer.

Ultimately, it would be great if we didn’t have to shop defensively.

Nursing week

metronews.ca

MONDAY, MAY 9, 2011

“Canada’s registered nurses are over a quarter of a million strong,” says Judith Shamian, president of the Canadian Nurses Association. “They are involved in every aspect of our health system —research, patient advocacy, health policy and administration, public health, prevention and management of chronic disease, rehabilitation and recovery, and, of course, the special kind of direct clinical care for which we are known best.”

National Nursing Week is held during the second week of May every year to celebrate Canadian nurses and their dedication to patient care and the healthcare system. The purpose is to remind everyone of the many ways nurses contribute to the well-being of Canadians.

May 12, which is Florence Nightingale’s birthday, was designated International Nurses Day in 1971.

Nightingale was a celebrated English nurse known for her pioneering efforts to reform the British military health system. May 12 is also recognized as Canada Health Day. METRO

NURSING WEEK

Want to become a registered nurse?

Metro checked in with the Canadian Nurses Association website to find out what’s involved Nursing offers men and women a wide range of opportunities for career challenges, travel, professional development and the personal satisfaction of working in a caring profession that helps people get well or stay healthy.

What kind of education do you need? In the Atlantic provinces, Ontario, Saskatchewan and B,C., new graduates are required to have a baccalaureate degree in nursing as their initial program. In all other provinces and territories, candidates have a choice of a diploma or a baccalaureate degree in nursing as their initial program.

For more information about nursing programs, visit the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing at casn.ca or the Association of Community Colleges of Canada at accc.ca.

Street nurse advocates for the homeless

Crowe has spent more than two decades helping street people Has confronted issues from Tent City to discrimination against homeless community ASTRID VAN DEN BROEK

LIFE@METRONEWS.CA

Homeless men freezing to death. An emerging tuberculosis scare. Tent City. In life as a street nurse, Cathy Crowe has confronted some big issues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as Tent City â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and smaller ones, such as discrimination against Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeless community.

This was certainly not what she expected when she started as a street nurse some 23 years ago.

Croweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street nursing career began after she was hired in 1988 by Street Health, an organization helping Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeless population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Originally much of the job focused on people with serious health problems worsened by the fact that they were homeless,â&#x20AC;? says Crowe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have somebody admitted to hospital but then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be discharged once treated and back to the street or shelter. There was this neverending cycle.â&#x20AC;?

such as that, she was fuelled by the thought of working on a problem that was ultimately fixable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always talked about what the solution was and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so within grasp within this country to solve it,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I stayed. I think nurses working in the area of cancer or diabetes feel the same way. They know what the good outcome can be if the right things are done.â&#x20AC;?

While she spent more than two decades helping the homeless population directly as a street nurse, today her work is more focused in the area of homelessness advocacy.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the volunteer executive director of the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee, which she helped found in 1998.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taught a course on Homelessness in Canada at Ryerson University, co-authored Dying for a Home and is currently involved in a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms challenge in the rights to housing.

Last year, she also ran as the provincial NDP candidate for Toronto Centre after Liberal MPP George Smitherman stepped down.

Still, she keeps a hand in nursing by training others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nursing students are clamouring for jobs in this field, which was not the case 20 years ago. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m contacted by students almost daily during the school year,â&#x20AC;? says Crowe, who is also the grandmother of three young grandsons.

To extend that training, she also travels throughout Ontario teaching nurses about the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately I would like to see that this profession isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine that right now, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to see politicians spend more time resolving the problem of homelessness or professional organizations really support the advocacy work being done,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because otherwise weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to be stuck doing healthcare out of a van and finding people in the Don Valley.â&#x20AC;?

medically induced coma for 36 days, the recovery was long and tortuous 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recovery is a difficult road but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever give up.

Lives definitely change but sometimes for the better. If things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out the way you thought, find another way or use a different strategy.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy. Just keep thinking and planning.â&#x20AC;?

Home stretch to summer Keeping kids on track in their final months of school RICHARD WOODBURY

LIFE@METRONEWS.CA

Plot a plan of action with your teen rather than presenting them with a hit-the-books bribe.

31

metronews.ca

work & education

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 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 pa-

per 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 self-esteem.

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 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.”

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.

A day after getting no-hit, the Toronto Blue Jays had Jose Bautista and Aaron Hill back in the lineup.

It didn’t make much difference.

Austin Jackson hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh inning yesterday as the Detroit Tigers downed the struggling Toronto Blue Jays 5-2.

While Bautista did his

thing, hitting a two-run shot of his own against Brad Penny in the third inning, the Toronto Blue Jays could muster little else.

Hill, who returned from

a hamstring injury, was 1for-4, but Adam Lind, and his 27 RBIs, was nursing a tight lower back and did not play.

“Obviously, Jose steps right back in, gives us a quality at-bat with a tworun homer,” Blue Jays manager John Farrell said.

“I thought Aaron swung the bat well with the base hit and still trying to get some consistent timing going. Those two, it’s good to

see them back in the lineup.

“Other than that, we were unable to string many quality at-bats together and really didn’t have many opportunities to bunch some hits together or try to generate much offence.”

Canucks trying to avoid mistakes

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 Lakers yesterday and a sweep of their second-round series against the most successful coach in NBA history and the two-time defending champions.

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 had 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 Los Angeles.

While the 65-year-old Jackson would have preferred going out with a 12th title, this exit does nothing to tarnish his legacy. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jason Terry

The Nashville Predators will be the opponent when the Vancouver Canucks are forced to play a game they hoped to avoid.

But the team the Canucks don’t want beating them tonight in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinal is themselves.

Vancouver mistakes, turnovers and bad bounces helped give the Predators a 4-3 victory Saturday that allowed Nashville to stay alive in the playoffs. The Canucks lead the series 3-2, but know they must reduce their errors to avoid a Game 7 back in Vancouver Wednesday.

“We have to make sure that one mistake doesn’t turn into two,” Ryan Kesler said through swollen lips prior to the Canucks boarding an airplane yesterday for the long flight to Nashville.

“It’s a game of mistakes out there. You are going to make mistakes, no one is perfect. For us, we have to try and eliminate the mistakes. Make one, not two.”

Kesler lost a tooth and needed stitches to close a gash on his chin after being hit in the face with a puck Saturday. He returned to score his second goal of the night in a losing cause.

The gritty centre has been the best Canuck in the playoffs. He has scored five goals in the last three games and been a dominating physical force.

The Predators return home believing they can still advance to the next round of the playoffs.

“We knew we weren’t going to quit and it’s far from over,” said defenceman Shea Weber. “They’ve got to come out with their best effort next game and we’ve got to be ready.”

Bombers take top linebacker in 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 native of Mississauga 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 league-worst 414 record last year.

The move wasn’t a surprise as Muamba was in Winnipeg yesterday so the CFL club could unveil its the first overall pick in the Manitoba capital.

“I’m excited,” Muamba

draft prospect by the CFL’s Scouting Bureau and had been mentioned as a firstoverall 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.”
