Booze ban keeps sites serene: Province

Splash. Bash

Temporary liquor bans in place at nine of the province’s 250 parks

Collin Opper, facility foreman of the City of Edmonton, says that Mill Creek pool is 99 per cent ready and will be open to the public this Saturday. NANCY GORDY/FOR METRO

Have a ball at Mill Creek’s pool party

This Saturday, the outdoor pool at Mill Creek, located at 9555–84 Ave., will host a Mill Creek Splash Bash from noon to 4 p.m., with free ice cream and plenty of fun to be had.

Campers may not appreciate longweekend liquor bans but according to the province, the ban on booze is working. Since 2004, when the temporary liquor-ban program was first implemented, unacceptable behaviours such as impaired driving, assaults and vandalism have decreased in these areas by an average of 90 per cent, according to a provincial spokesperson. “The reduction of about 90 per cent has shown us that it has been an effective way to still allow people to enjoy the parks over the long weekend but still make it safe and friendly for everyone,” said Erin Larson of Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation. Larson said the decision to enforce a ban is based on previous incidents at particular parks. “The sites selected are re-evaluated every year, and we do look at those enforcement stats and see if it’s still required there or not,” she said, adding the ban was removed at one of the parks this year. Rather than deterring campers,

By the numbers Last May long weekend, traffic units laid more than 2,800 charges throughout the province — 2,269 were speeding violations. 154 impaired drivers were also charged and 14 were issued 24-hour suspensions.

Larson said the parks with bans tend to attract more families and those sites tend to remain popular. RCMP Sgt. Dave Hardy said they have scaled back enforcement slightly over the last few years. as more Albertans are complying with rules. but added there will still be plenty of uniforms out this weekend. “There will be checkstops out in locations that have historically had high volumes of campers and recreational users,” said Hardy. “We will be out just doing what we can to make sure people get to a destination safely.” KATIE TURNER More on camping {page 10}

Arena deal fuels ’Dome discussions Chatter of a framework arrangement for a new Edmonton arena circulated through Calgary hockey circles Thursday as Flames fans wondered if their team could someday find itself in new digs as well. Ken Travers has been a Flames fan since the team arrived in Calgary and attends up to 20 games at the Saddledome each season. “The building’s outdated,” he said. “They need more luxury suites generating income. It’s certainly not modern anymore.” Flames spokesperson Peter Hanlon admits the team is watching proceedings on a new facility in Edmonton closely but would not speculate on local developments. “We are not ready for that public discussion yet,” he said. Mayor Naheed Nenshi said he is open to discussing proposals for a new facility, adding “I have never been a huge fan of public dollars for that kind of infrastructure but I am willing to be open-minded.” Other Calgary groups speculated that a new facility could bring benefits beyond hockey. “An arena facility that was more conducive to concerts would be an attraction for the city that would also bring in regional markets,” said Randy Williams, president and CEO for Tourism Calgary. JEREMY NOLAIS

The Katz Group has stated the Oilers will not play at Rexall Place past 2014 and that a new downtown arena is needed. On Wednesday evening, city council approved an agreement framework between the city and the Katz Group to build one.

Downtown arena deal not done yet $100 million of downtown arena still remains to be funded Provincial, federal governments haven’t made any promises HEATHER MCINTYRE

@METRONEWS.CA

Now that a major hurdle has been cleared toward getting a new downtown arena, the question remains whether or not the province will step up with the remaining $100 million. Cam Hantiuk, spokesman for Premier Ed Stelmach, said Thursday any proposal would be looked at, but no direct funding will go toward any private

business. Late Wednesday, city council approved a framework, though not a binding and final agreement, between the city and the Katz Group to build a $450-million downtown arena. Coun. Don Iveson, who voted against the framework, is concerned about the amount of public money headed for the project. “If the province comes up with $100 million on top of the city’s $125 million, that’s half the cost of the building, plus land

Deal details The city's contribution will be $125 million, the Katz Group will contribute $100 million, and another $125 million will come from a ticket tax, which will be administered by the Katz Group. The framework includes a location agreement to keep the Oilers in Edmonton for 35 years.

and infrastructure,” said.

Meanwhile, Coun. Bryan Anderson, who voted in favour, said the deal could depend on Northlands because the Katz Group wants a non-competition clause. “If Northlands refuses to accept … then I think that, to me, is a deal breaker,” he said. Northlands’ public relations director Cathy Kiss said they were “shocked” by the announcement Wednesday, but are interested in talking with the city about the next steps.

EDUCATION

Students given option of distant learning At this time of year students are usually preparing for final exams, and some even for graduation. Students from Slave Lake, however, have other pressing matters on their minds. The Alberta Distance Learning Centre activated their emergency plan earlier this week, giving students an option to continue with schooling

as soon as possible. Edmonton Public School Board spokesperson Jane Sterling says they’ve been asked by the province to accommodate students from Slave Lake into schools in Edmonton. “It’s important they’re going to school,” Sterling said. “They’re under an awful lot of grown-up stress.” Slave Lake students from grades 1 through 12 are able to participate in classes here, but won’t be marked on any material. They are also given access to counsellors, Sterling said. Lori Nagy, of the Edmonton Catholic School Board, says this allows the students to stay in a routine. So far a Grade 1 student has been taken into an Edmonton public school, and two elementary students are in the process of being taken into an Edmonton Catholic school. NANCY GORDY

Map of blaze damage released Alberta wildfire officials say rain showers Wednesday night helped conditions Thursday saw 72 wildfires burning across the province IAN JACKSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Residents of fire-ravaged northern Alberta communities in and near Slave Lake are finally learning if their homes were engulfed by flames. The town has released a detailed photographic map which shows 374 lots were destroyed by the wildfires that swept through the area Sunday evening. Another 52 lots were damaged. There is also a map of homes in the nearby Municipal District of Lesser Slave River which shows 59 lots were destroyed and 32 were damaged. Flames forced roughly 7,000 people to flee from their homes. Slave Lake Mayor Karina Pillay-Kinnee says many residents will be heartbroken by the news, but they need to know. “This is a very emotional undertaking for everyone involved,” she said Thursday as the maps were shown to people at evacuation centres in Athabasca, Westlock and Edmonton. “I understand the anxiety residents have felt since being evacuated, not knowing if their home or

business had been damaged or destroyed.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach are to tour the communities Friday. Officials say it will be weeks before people are allowed to move back to the undamaged homes. Alberta is working on a plan to get people out of

evacuation centres and into temporary homes and to help students who have been forced from school. The provincial Housing Department says people whose homes were not destroyed will be placed in short-term accommodation such as hotels until they can return home, with help from the Red Cross. Spokesman Dan

Laville says residents whose homes were destroyed or damaged will get assistance finding longer-term rental accommodation. Details of the plan are to be announced in the coming days. “Our goal is to help people move out of the evacuation centres as soon as we can,” Laville said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

There may have been five to begin with, but three is still a crowd. After failing to come to a consensus on Wednesday as to which of five international firms would create a master plan to redevelop the City Centre Airport lands, city council was able to whittle the contestants down to three. “This is an important decision that will have an impact on our city for decades to come, so it’s important to take the time necessary to get it right,” city manager Simon Farbrother said in a release.

BAN

Fires forbidden across province The province is taking extra precautions this long weekend by instituting a provincewide fire ban to prevent further wildfires in Alberta As of Thursday, there were more than 70 wildfires burning throughout the province, including a massive fire in the community of Slave Lake. Information officer for Sustainable Resource Development Karen Ritchie said despite the

forecast of wet weather in the southern part of the province, the ban was necessary. With a large portion of the province’s firefighting resources already being utilized in Northern Alberta, the rest of the province is not as protected, according to Ritchie. “So many people have been exported to support the fires up north,” she said. “What that means is they’re completely utilized, so if there were a fire start, it’s just that much more of an issue here.” Ritchie said the only fires that campers will be allowed this weekend will be for cooking appliances, such as propane or gas barbecues or pit stoves. “I expect that people will primarily follow (the ban). In spite of the weather, they understand it’s an important thing to do.” KATIE TURNER

No booze, no fire, no fun this long weekend? A provincewide fire ban hasn’t been instituted in Alberta since 1988 SHELLEY WILLIAMSON/METRO

KATIE TURNER

CALGARY@METRONEWS.CA

Conditions for campers may not be ideal during the first long weekend of the summer but at least one Albertan is determined to make the most of May long. New mom Cindy Degrace, 24, has camped with her family and friends over the May long weekend for years, and the fire ban didn’t make her reconsider “even for a second.” “We’ve been planning it so long, we can’t call it off at this point because of a fire ban,” said Degrace. As for the booze ban, she and her fellow campers have long boycotted provin-

cial campsites for their stringent rules. Instead, the crew sets up camp in a field off a service road near Caroline, Alta. Rather than cancelling her yearly trip entirely, Calgarian Lori Chick will be heading west. “We really like our camping, and you wait and you wait and you wait all winter, and then you wait for May long weekend to come, and then that happens,” she said. “So, we decided to cancel that and we’re heading to B.C., where we can have a fire.” Echoing Chick’s feelings about the fire ban, Edmontonian Emily Cobb said she and her friends decided against making their

big wet blanket on plans. “Who wants to eat boiled hot dogs on the May long?” she asked. “With the money it takes for gas now, plus the fire ban, it’s just not worth it.”

Pimping ‘big problem’ in city Edmonton police have charged a man after a woman claimed she was forced into prostitution and sexually and physically assaulted for years. The woman reported the incidents in October 2010, and a second woman corroborated her information in December 2010, said police. One man has been charged and more charges are pending against two more men. The charges are related to alleged incidents between 1990 and 2010. Kate Quinn, executive director of Prostitution Awareness and Action Foundation of Edmonton (PAAFE) said she is encouraged the women had the strength to come forward years later.

“Pimping and assault are big problems in Edmonton, and they were especially 20 years ago,” said Quinn. “And, sadly, now there are a new group of young women.” She urges anyone who feels exploited, threatened or abused to report it to EPS. “The key message is, if you’re lured, bullied, or assaulted, call police. There is a lot of help for you.” Stephen Robichaud, 46, was charged April 29 with procuring, living off the avails, sex assault, controlling and directing, assault and assault causing bodily harm.

What’s in a name? A family for one man

Man finds true identity, reunited with family 66 years after separation from mother in WWII Man meets nephew in first visit to Germany since war Peter Jaunzemis went by the name George for more than six decades, but always wondered whether the Latvian refugee who brought him to New Zealand and raised him there was really his mother. “She didn’t act like a mother,” Jaunzemis, 69, said Thursday of the woman, Anna Jaunzemis. “She was cold, she never took me in her arms and never referred to me as her son.” Jaunzemis recently discovered his true identity through the help of the International Tracing Service (ITS) in the central

German town of Bad Arolsen. For more than a decade, Jaunzemis sought to trace his Latvian family roots. He found nothing, not even a birth certificate. “I was getting nowhere, trying every variant I could think of, but it felt like I was turning in circles,” Jaunzemis said. Finally, a friend who was tracing her own family history suggested he turn to the ITS, which holds troves of World War II-era documents, including refugee lists, registers from displaced persons, or DP camps, and missing persons requests filed

“I am at peace with myself now. Before I felt that I was something that had dropped out of the sky.” PETER JAUNZEMIS

with the International Committee of the Red Cross. Margret Schlenke, who heads the ITS department for missing persons, immediately found a file for Jaunzemis. But it also held another name, Peter van de Velde — a boy with the same birth date as Jaunzemis who had been removed from his mother at a DP camp in Belgium in June 1945. The file, stuffed with

more than 150 tattered, yellowing pages, contained old photos and letters from Jaunzemis’ natural mother, Gertrud van de Velde, who for years sought for her son. She died in Brussels in 2009, months before he first wrote to the ITS. Nevertheless Jaunzemis, who now goes by Peter, said he is relieved to finally know who he is and that he has family.

Spy vs. spy: Israel-Russia edition

Peter Jaunzemis, 69, who was separated from his mother in the ﬁnal days of World War II, displays a photograph showing his parents at the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen, Germany.

An Israeli military attaché to Moscow who was expelled from Russia last week was carrying secret information when he was detained, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said. Vadim Leiderman was apprehended in Moscow on May 12, caught red-handed receiving classified information from a Russian citizen, the statement said. Leiderman was declared persona non grata and given 48 hours to leave the country, which he did. Israel’s military rejected allegations that Leiderman was a spy, saying in a statement the officer was debriefed after he returned. Gad Shimron, an intelligence expert and former field operative for the Mossad, told Israel’s Channel 10 TV that based on the information he knows the odds of Leiderman being a spy are “extremely small.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Intelligence officer sells secret docs to undercover A 22-year-old U.S. Navy sailor pleaded guilty Thursday to four counts of attempted espionage for trying to sell classified documents to someone he believed was a Chinese intelligence officer. Petty Officer 2nd Class Bryan Minkyu Martin of Mexico, New York, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. At a court martial in Norfolk, Martin said Thursday that he accepted $11,500 from an undercover FBI agent known to him only as “Mr. Lee” in exchange for information, documents, photographs and images that were classified as secret or top secret. The documents involved naval operations and intelligence assessments related to military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Authorities say the documents were delivered to the agent in November and December. Martin is an intelligence specialist who was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina at the time,

preparing for a deployment to Afghanistan. He worked at the base’s Joint Special Operations Command and downloaded and printed documents from his desktop computer while at work, sometimes walking out with them folded up in his pants pocket. He said he wanted to sell the documents to the Chinese because he believed they would pay the most for them. Prosecutors declined to say how Martin made the initial contact that ultimately got him in touch with the undercover agent. Martin said he had spoken with the undercover agent by telephone, but had never seen him until their first meeting in a hotel lobby, saying he identified “Mr. Lee” because he was reading a Chinese newspaper. The undercover agent never showed any identification to prove he worked for the Chinese government and Martin said he was initially cautious that he might not be legitimate. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Background Martin also pleaded guilty to seven charges levied against him for mishandling classified documents.

He earned $500 at the ﬁrst meeting for verbally sharing classiﬁed information he gleaned while training at the Defence Intelligence Agency and at Fort Bragg, which he was stationed at beginning in September of 2010.

Bin Laden praises Arab Spring in taped message Attempts to stake a claim for al-Qaida in protests led mainly by youth fed up with government abuses In a recording made shortly before his death, Osama bin Laden praised the mass protests that have toppled and shaken longtime rulers across the Arab world while trying to cast a role for al-Qaida. Bin Laden’s message, released on militant websites Thursday, is an attempt by the terror leader to remain relevant after sweeping changes in which al-Qaida played almost no role. “The winds of change will spread through the entire Islamic world, God willing,” bin Laden said. He proclaimed it a “religious obligation” to form a

Though both bin Laden and the West have generally supported protest movements in the Middle East, their goals differ. The West hopes the protests will bring democratic reforms. Bin Laden and his followers hoped they would lead to governments based on strict interpretation of Islamic law. Bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs May 2. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

‘Great Firewall’ designer pelted Egg and shoes thrown at Chinese online censor Strict Internet curbs hated by country’s web users Chinese police were seeking the man who allegedly threw an egg and shoes yesterday at the computer scientist famous for designing China’s Great Firewall of web controls. The attack — if true — is a particularly bold one for China and underscores how strongly people feel about the country’s strict Internet censorship. A Twitter user posting under the name “hanunyi” claimed that one of the shoes struck computer expert Fang Binxing while he was visiting Wuhan University in Hubei province.

Red Shirts unite Leaders of last year’s anti-government “Red Shirt” protests have registered their candidacies for a July 3 general election as the politics of the street converge with the politics of the ballot in Thailand. By chance, the ballot draw took place on the one-year anniversary of the army’s crushing of a two-month-long Red Shirt protest in central Bangkok.

Fang reviled Fang Binxing has felt the ire of the online community before. When he launched his microblog in December, it was taken down within hours after anonymous posters peppered it with hundreds of caustic or sarcastic comments.

Fang, president of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, is popularly known as the “father of the Great Firewall” and is reviled by many Chinese web users.

Wage-gap wisdom? Study suggests women’s low expectations may cause inequality

metronews.ca WEEKEND, MAY 20-23, 2011

Female university grads looking for their first jobs expect to earn less than men, and those lower expectations may be the reason the actual wage gap persists, a new study says. “Women know they currently aren’t earning as much as men, so they enter the workforce with that expectation,” said Sean Lyons, a University of Guelph researcher who

helped conduct the study. “Because they don’t expect to earn as much, they likely aren’t as aggressive when it comes to negotiating salaries or pay raises and will accept lower-paying jobs than men, which perpetuates the existing inequalities.” When asked to estimate their starting salaries, female students entering the work world predicted their

paycheques would be 14 per cent lower than the wages men said they expected to pull. The gap widened over the course of their anticipated careers, with women expecting to make 18 per cent less than men after five years. And it was most pronounced in maledominated fields such as science and engineering. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Statistics Canada says the real gap in salary between universityeducated women and men is 22 per cent. That is, women earn only 68 cents for every dollar earned by equally qualiﬁed men.

A sample of the member home page for i.playboy.com.

Good news for those who thought their copies of Playboy were gone forever when their moms found them and threw them away. Playboy launched a webbased subscription service Thursday called i.playboy.com that allows viewers to see every single page of every single magazine — from the first issue nearly 60 years ago that fea-

tured Marilyn Monroe to the ones hitting the newsstands today. “They no longer have to store 57 years — 682 issues — of Playboy under their mattress,” said Jimmy Jellinek, Playboy’s chief content officer. Chicago-based Playboy has seen its circulation plummet to 1.5 million today from 3.15 million in 2006 and has been trying

all sorts of gimmicks to attract readers in recent years. One issue included a set of 3-D glasses to better see a centrefold shot in 3-D; another turned over the cover to a cartoon character, Marge Simpson. Jellinek calls the website “the world’s sexiest time machine” and “an anthology of cool” for a magazine he refers to as “the Mount Rushmore of literary great-

ness.” But one industry analyst makes Playboy sound more like a tired, dusty half-empty amusement park. “The problem with Playboy is it not only lost its powerful interviews, but it lost its lead,” said Samir Husni, director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi School of Journalism.

SPEAKING OF THE APOCALYPSE ... THE METRO LIST 1 ANDREW WALLACE METRO

End days. According to Harold Camping, the head of the Christian radio network Family Stations Inc., the world will end Saturday. Apparently, an earthquake will shake the Earth and the true believers will be swept up to heaven, while the rest of us are left behind to bear witness to the destruction of all human life. From Camping: “We know without any shadow of a doubt it is going to happen.”

Uh, OK? Freedom of expression. Tyler, the Creator, the frontman for Odd Future and one of hip hop’s weirdest up-and-comers, recently received the ire of one-half of Tegan and Sara for his misogynistic and homophobic lyrical content. The conversation took to the Twitterverse and somehow the issue morphed in“Apparently, an to a discourse on free speech. This, of course, earthquake will isn’t a free speech issue — shake the Earth it’s an idiot-with-a-platform and the true issue. Librarians.

But librarians are still a wonderful resource. A library reconceived for the information economy could be more valuable than ever, and a librarian calibrated to meet today’s information challenges could be its greatest asset. The Biebs. This week Forbes announced that Justin Bieber, the boy wonder from Stratford, Ont., is officially the third most influential celebrity in the world. He has made teen girls swoon, sold out a world tour and starred in a top-grossing film, not to mention selling his footwear and hair on eBay for $5,500 and $40,558, respectively. Apparently, that’s the stuff influence is made of. Speaking of the Apocalypse … James Frey. The famous author (and noted liar) is on tour in Canada to promote his new book, The Final Testament Of The Holy Bible. On Wednesday, he was in Toronto to discuss the work with Indigo “chief book lover” Heather Reisman, which will surely be a boon for sales. In today’s world, liars remain unpunished — instead, they seem to be roundly rewarded. The Gos. It looks like Canadian kid Ryan Gosling is going to try his hand at directing.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Letters WHITE ROCK, B.C. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest Senate appointments must be called into question. Senators are to be a check on the prime minister, his cabinet and his House of Commons majority. They have the responsibility of providing “sober second thought” from their appointed positions. Appointing defeated candidates to the Senate cannot be considered otherwise than directly conflicting with this responsibility. Have Harper’s purely partisan personal appointees committed to voting as he pleases? Is that not vote buying? Is Harper not again in contempt of Parliament in making such appointments? Neither abolishing nor electing senators serves the purpose that the chamber was meant to serve when Canada came into being. A process that will enable the Senate to play its designated role that Harper has completely destroyed is to have senators appointed by the Governor General upon the recommendation of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada.

WEIRD NEWS

She may be a little slow on the draw, though The highest court in Oregon unanimously ruled Thursday that retired bus driver Cynthia Willis can have her medical marijuana and a concealed handgun, too. The ruling issued in Salem, Ore., upheld previous decisions by the Oregon Court of Appeals and circuit court in finding that a federal law barring criminals and drug addicts from buying firearms does not excuse sheriffs

from issuing concealed weapons permits to people who hold medical marijuana cards and otherwise qualify. “We hold that the Federal Gun Control Act does not pre-empt the state’s concealed handgun licensing statute and, therefore, the sheriffs must issue (or renew) the requested licences,” Chief Justice Paul De Muniz wrote. Willis welcomed the ruling. “I feel like a big girl now,” she said. “I feel like a real human being now, not just a source of revenue to the county.” Oregon became one of the first states in the U.S. to authorize people to use marijuana to treat medical conditions when voters approved an initiative in 1998.

Johnny Depp stars in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the fourth movie in the Pirates franchise.

Scene in brief

It’s time to jump ship Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin debate Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Mermaids are great, but not much else to write home about Richard Crouse: Mark, my main question after watching the new Pirates movie is, If this was the first one of the series would we have had a two, three and four? I don’t think so. It’s a big splashy epic, but lacks the fun and Johnny’s joie de vivre of the original. What say you, matey?

brilliant characterization in the series, but really, the tricks are starting to show their age. And I didn’t like swashbuckling even when Douglas Fairbanks did it in 1932. Still, I thought this edition of Pirates was the best since the original, whatever that means.

Mark Breslin: Richard, I wasn’t even a fan of the original. And no franchise should exceed a trilogy unless the words “godfather” or “cheerleaders” are in the title. An appreciation of this movie is contingent upon how you feel about Johnny Depp and how much swordplay you can handle. I adore Depp’s

RC: I don’t think this one has the spark of the others. It’s not as funny, Depp seems like he’s gone back to the Captain Jack treasure chest one too many times and the action scenes, despite the 3-D, don’t fly off the screen the way they have in the past. I liked the mermaids and think their attack se-

quence is the most exciting thing in the movie, but I may be wrong simply because the movie is so dark I may have missed something. MB: Oh, those mermaids! Who knew they spoke in a Scandinavian accent? Yes, they are the most exciting thing in the movie, although I did enjoy Ian MacShane’s villainy. But despite the fountain of youth plot device, these Pirates are getting old. And you’re right about how dark the film is: I was straining to make out which pirate was which. Quick clue: Depp is the Pirate Who’s Had A Bit Of Work Done.

RC: Ha! Perhaps playing the same character four times in eight years is too much for Depp, or perhaps the limitations of Captain Jack are becoming apparent but he’s not as entertaining as before. Not that director Rob Marshall helps him. The action sequences are as well choreographed as you might expect from the man who made Chicago and Nine, but they are also as exciting as you would expect from a man who specializes in making musicals. MB: I see what you’re getting at. For the next instalment, make it a musical complete with a chorus line of mermaids!

Cooper loves his wolfpack Hangover star says bond with co-stars is the secret ingredient for movie’s success Sequel gets darker STEVE GOW

Although the antics are amped up in The Hangover: Part II, star Bradley Cooper admits shooting the anticipated comedy was at least easier than the first. “There’s a certain amount of ease in knowing the character — having all this history,” said Cooper recently in Toronto. “There was a lot less preparation because the preparation was already (in doing) a movie. That’s a hell of a lot of rehearsal time to have another movie under your belt.” With the 2009 surprise hit earning a stunning $467 million US worldwide, there will be a lot of eyes

pearance of the bride’s 16year-old brother and a mysterious drug-dealing monkey. “The stakes are so high in this movie. It gets darker and because of that the three of us have to go to places making it believable but you have to deal with these crazy circumstances,” Cooper said. He explained that the movie’s secret is in the camaraderie with co-stars Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms. “It’s the reason I would do seven of these movies … it was just really wonderful to see what would come out of that — things that weren’t in the script,” he said.

Kung Fu Panda 2 a ‘passion project’ Sequel gets a new director who was excited to step up to the plate Crew watched kung fu movies in down time ETHAN MILLER/GETTY IMAGES

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

For anyone with a place in their hearts for kung fu movies and absurdly cute CGI animals, the release of Kung Fu Panda 2 is cause for giddy excitement. The first film was a critical success that also cleaned up at the box office in 2008 and Dreamworks Animation began work on the sequel shortly after it opened in theatres. Jennifer Yuh Nelson was key member of the creative/design team on the original Kung Fu Panda and was promoted to

a lot of the same group stayed on because everyone loved the first movie so much. It was always a passion project for everyone involved and that continued on the sequel.” Creating a CGI animated film on this scale was a huge undertaking for the director, who worked on the project for three years before it was complete. “We didn’t start seeing finish animated sequences until about a year and a half out,” admitted Nelson. “It trickles in a little at a time and it’s always a shock when you’re working with rough black and white storyboards that you’re used to and then all

of a sudden you see the same scenes in gorgeous colour animation. It’s a big jolt for the crew, because you suddenly realize what the final film will look like.” To help break up the te-

dium during the long production, Nelson said the crew would hold “kung fu movie lunches,” watching an endless list of classic titles in the genre to inspire the vast team of animators.

“We’d watch everything from Drunken Master to Kung Fu Hustle,” said the director. “That’s one of the reasons why these movies aren’t parodies. They are a homage to movies that we all really love.”

BEST TIME OF THE YEAR SOUND CHECK

ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA

After a cold winter and a cool, and for many, disastrously wet spring, Canadians are possessed by hopeful optimism about what the next four months will bring. This means it’s also time to load up on some new music. Ben Harper/Give Till It’s Gone (out now): Most of Ben’s best records have been released in either the spring or summer, making them great soundtracks for heading camping or laying out on the beach. His 10th studio album,

which again features his band, The Relentless 7fits, that bill. Moby/Destroyed (out now): Electronica’s favourite bald vegan returns with an album written mostly in hotel rooms in the middle of the night. Listening to this album in the daytime doesn’t feel quite right, but in the middle of the night, it makes all the sense in the world. Eddie Vedder/Ukulele Songs (out May 31): When you’re one of the most famous singers in the world, you can do whatever you want, including recording a solo album where you play the ukulele. Rumour has it that Eddie originally planned this project as gift to friends and family, but it turned out so well that it’s getting a proper release.

Laugh track to hit tracks Donald Glover is not the first comedian to make the jump to musician JORDAN STRAUSS/GETTY IMAGES

PAT HEALY

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

In the early days of film and television, variety was king. Elvis had starring roles, the Rat Pack all sang in their movies and while Jackie Gleason had one of the highest-rated shows on TV as a bus driver with a comically short fuse, he was also releasing albums of romantic mood music. But as the modern entertainment industry evolved, the public gradually became less accepting of stars who established themselves in one medium, then tried to succeed in another. But now that reality television is the norm, the world might be more accepting of a comic actor who turns to music, like Donald Glover. As Troy, the naive and excitable former jock on NBC’s Community, he is hilarious, and as a rapper leading Childish Gambino, Glover is more than proficient, rocking a shockingly different persona than viewers may have thought they knew. Here are a few others who crossed over. Steve Martin

Martin always put goofy songs on his comedy albums but his 2009 album,

Donald Glover is making the crossover from comedian to musician.

The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo, proved he could gracefully transition into a medium that requires players to be well-versed in its tradition. It also helps when Earl Scruggs guests. Eddie Murphy

After tucking funny songs between comedy tracks on his albums, Murphy decided to take music

seriously. His Rick James-produced anthem, Party All the Time, went to No. 2 on the charts in 1985. Most of his follow-up singing work was met with less enthusiasm. Whatzupwitu, a 1993 duet with Michael Jackson, made listeners wonder the same about Murphy. Adam Sandler

Sandler mastered the

funny-guy-with-the-guitar thing on Saturday Night Live, and some of the songs on his first two comedy albums were absurd enough to make your stomach hurt. But 1997’s What’s Your Name? is all songs, and though the musicianship is impressive, the lyrics fly somewhere between funny and sincere, and it falls flat.

Expressing individuality GETTY IMAGES

Live loud and prosper: Gaga sets example with her unique individuality SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Rock ’n’ roll and its subgenres have always had an outcast component. Because many of the people making this type of music were misfits growing up, they have occasionally found inspiration in singing about their outsider status. But where The Who sang, “hope I die before I get old,” in their 1965 song, My Generation, singers these days are using a more encouraging tone. Lady Gaga puts her personality on parade by saying that she was Born This Way, and Ke$ha lets her freak flag fly by singing We R Who We R.

Uniqueness

Written by: Michael Masser and Linda Creed. Sample lyric: “If I fail, if I succeed/At least I live as I believe/No matter what they take from me/They can’t take away my dignity”

A few of the other songs about being different in all the right ways: Rebel Rebel by David Bowie (1974); Written by David Bowie. Sample lyric: “You’ve got your mother in a whirl/ She’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl/Hey babe, your hair’s alright”

Beautiful by Christina Aguilera (2002); Written by: Linda Perry. Sample lyric: “We are beautiful no matter what they say/Words won’t bring us down”

The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston (1985);

Pink is currently telling her listeners, “don’t you ever, ever feel like you're less than f—in’ perfect” while Katy Perry tells hers that they “don’t have to feel like a wasted space” in

“I wrote We R Who We R because I read about a bunch of teenage boys who killed themselves because they were bullied at school for being ‘different,’” she says. “I also wasn’t like everyone else in school and was a bit misunderstood. As I’ve gotten older, I’m happy I wasn’t like everyone else. And I wanted these kids to have an anthem that expressed that.” Gaga told Metro that she’s seen how the message of Born This Way has moved her younger fans, and when she’s talking about their generation it seems to resonate more. “The new generation is very affected by the lack of equality,” she says. “I noticed I had 12- and 13-year-

What does Lady Gaga’s handwriting say about her? Metro finds out Samples of Lady Gaga’s handwriting

CARLY BALDWIN

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

The estimable Lady Gaga served as Metro’s guest editor on Tuesday and we got her to answer some of our questions in her own handwriting. Which, of course, raises the question: What does Lady Gaga’s penmanship say about her? Metro consulted Dennis Duez, a Pittsburgh-based handwriting analyst who has scrutinized the writings of Britney Spears (she’s very obstinate) and former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (he needs romance, but does not trust

it). After taking a look at Gaga handwriting samples, Duez deduced: • Lady Gaga is a strongly independent, and a myway-or-the-highway person, as evidenced by her straight up and sometimes slanted slightly to the left lettering. She believes that her way is the right way, said

Duez. Critics beware! • Gaga does not like to be misunderstood, as evidenced by copious amounts of printed text and is a strong communicator. See open tops on lower case “O,” “A,” and “D” characters. • Her handwriting evidences a strong performance talent, indicated by the broad “T” bar cross-

While Maria Shriver continues to deal with the fallout of husband Arnold Schwarzenegger’s admission of fathering a child with a long-time staffer, it’s

important for her to remember that all is not lost: She can always write a memoir! In fact, she’ll join an esteemed “wronged political wife” collection of authors. Here, other political wives share what they felt like when they were in the same situation, via excerpts from their books.

The husband’s indiscretion: In case you’ve for-

gotten, her husband Bill Clinton had an affair with intern Monica Lewinsky while President of the United States. Helpful excerpt: “I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him, ‘What do you mean? What are you saying? Why did you lie to me?’”

Senator John Edwards was outed by the National Enquirer for having an affair with freelance videographer Rielle Hunter in 2007; in 2010, he admitted to fathering a child with her.

It’s no fun to recount the birth of a love that died a horrible death. My sadness and yes, my anger, cast long shadows and obscure much that was hopeful and happy.”

Is it time for fans to start worrying about 30 Rock? Actor Judah Friedlander doesn’t think the popular show is done yet and I believe she’s having the baby around the time we normally start filming for the new season, so our start time is actually being delayed some,” he continued. “We’re going to start filming later than normal, so because of that our show has to air later than normal. So to my knowledge that’s what that’s all about.” Despite critical praise and a slew of awards, 30 Rock has failed to attract blockbuster ratings and its future has frequently been in doubt. With star Alec Baldwin’s contract set to expire in 2012, and with the recent Season 6 postponement, fans have recently been

more concerned than usual. The Atlantic Wire also recently published an article questioning the future of the show, opening with the sentence: “Is it time to start worrying about 30 Rock?” However, Friedlander is confident they’ll be back. “We are guaranteed for

at least one more season and after that we don’t know yet,” he said. During the 30 Rock hiatus, Friedlander will be busy with his World Champion standup tour. The title for Friedlander’s tour, as his fans well know, stems from his eccentric public persona as a standup comedian. With a bushy beard and long locks, thick glasses, and T-shirts and trucker hats emblazoned with his World Champion slogan (sometimes in other languages and even in braille), the jokester boasts onstage and in interviews that he’s an undefeated master of martial arts, among many other things.

Judah Friedlander is currently on his World Champion standup tour.

Judah Friedlander says the recent postponement of Season 6 of 30 Rock isn’t anything to worry about. The actor, who plays trucker hat-loving Frank Rossitano on the acclaimed TV comedy series, says NBC was sincere earlier this week when it cited Tina Fey’s pregnancy as the reason it’s pushing the Season 6 debut to next January. “Here’s what’s going on, to my knowledge: Tina Fey is pregnant, not by (co-star) Tracy Morgan and not by me, as far as I can remember,” Friedlander, 42, wisecracked in a recent phone interview to promote his standup show at Toronto’s Second City on Thursday. “Now, the thing is, Tina Fey is having a baby soon

In bowl, whisk mayo, mustard powder, honey and vinegar. Add all 3 peppers, toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. In food processor, combine chipotle peppers, barbecue sauce and garlic. Puree until smooth. Transfer to bowl. Add ground beef, 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt and 1 ml (1/4 tsp) black pepper, mix.

Divide ground beef mixture into quarters. One at a time, form each quarter into a cup in the palm of your hand. Add 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the cheese and a sprinkling of the black olives to the centre of each cup, then push beef over it to completely cover cheese. Carefully form beef into a patty.

Match made in grill heaven PETER ROCKWELL LIQUIDASSETS@EASTLINK.CA TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY

I’m a bit of a barbecue weenie. At my house, boy meets grill until mid-fall. Then I wheel my gasfired girl into the garage until Victoria Day. She’s ready to make her 2011 debut this long weekend, and when it comes to picking a wine to match grilled meats, I look for juice that can hold its own against the intensity of the meat, the influence of the marinade and, since I’m a bit of a hamburger aficionado, any condiments I decide to lather on when meat hits bun. Think young, jammy and red. It’s not time to uncork that Bordeaux you’ve had since midway through the last century. Best bets are Californian zinfandel and merlot, Aussie shiraz, Chilean cabernet sauvignon, and for a taste of the Old World, a Barbera d’Asti from Italy’s Piedmont region. In Argentina, barbecue is a way of life and a red like Trapiche’s 2010 Varietals Malbec ($9.00 $11.99) — with dark, blueberry flavour, balanced tannins and spice trail — is a grill match made in Mendoza.

Boston regains defensive prowess JUSTIN K. ALLER/GETTY IMAGES

Seguin scores again after sitting out first two rounds of playoffs Tim Thomas made 31 saves for his first playoff shutout this season and rookie Tyler Seguin scored his fourth goal in the last three games as the Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 in Game 3 of the NHL Eastern Conference finals Thursday night. Thomas, the favourite to win the Vezina Trophy as the top regular-season goalie, gave up nine goals in the first two games of the series that the Bruins lead 2-1. Seguin made it 2-0 from in-close at 8:12 of the third as the puck trickled between the legs of Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson and into the net. The 19-yearold Seguin was inserted into the lineup to replace an injured Patrice Bergeron in Game 1 and has seven points overall. David Krejci also scored for the Bruins. Bergeron was back in the lineup after missing two games because of a concussion sustained when he was hit by Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux in the final game of the second round. Krejci was alone in the low slot and opened the scoring on a backhander

just 1:09 into the first. Boston is 7-0 during the post-season when scoring the first goal of the game. Krejci was briefly shaken up late in the first when he was hit in the neutral zone by Tampa Bay defenceman Marc-Andre Bergeron, who received a minor penalty for elbowing. Both teams were looking to play tighter defence after combining for 18 goals in the first two games. Tampa Bay centre Steven Stamkos said before the game that the Lightning wanted to avoid “runand-gun hockey.” Boston centre Brad Marchand added that both teams hoped to “buckle down” on defence. Game 4 is Saturday in Tampa. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
