There’s no limit on ‘ex-gratia’ payments made to civilians caught in crossfire: Lawyer 2,000 Canadian troops remain in Afghanistan

Workers threaten walkout

Air Canada customer service and sales staff are threatening to walk off the job Monday night if the airline doesn’t budge on key concessions. A proposal to change pension plans for new hires is a key issue as Air Canada and the Canadian Auto Workers union continue bargaining in Toronto. If bargaining fails, the airline said it plans to maintain full operations by implementing a contingency service to minimize the impact on customers.

The Canadian government has given out more than $1 million in goodwill payments to compensate hundreds of Afghans for deaths and damages incurred over the course of Canada’s mission in Afghanistan. The sobering tally comes as Canadian troops prepare to leave Kandahar next month. While most would argue that the loss of human life can’t be measured in dollars and cents, the military has a long-standing policy of making one-time, no-stringsattached “ex-gratia” payments to those who suffer losses because of the actions of Canadian troops. The government has paid $1,047,946 to 453 people since 2005, according to figures provided by the Defence Department. The names of the recipients, as well as the circumstances that led to the compensation awards, are not disclosed in the public accounts documents or by the department. “It is not our policy to discuss in

$100 to $21,420 The settlements ranged from less than $100 to as much as $21,420 — a fortune in a country where the national gross domestic product is about $1,000 per person. The UN’s latest annual civilian casualty report found 2,777 Afghan civilians were killed in 2010, which was up from the year before. Of those deaths, 550 occurred in Kandahar, the epicentre of Canada’s war effort.

detail compensation to families,” spokesman Andrew McKelvey wrote in an email. “Payments are a private matter between all parties, and disclosure of recipients could put these individuals at risk of extortion or otherwise jeopardize their safety.” The Canadian military accepts documents signed by local elders

as proof in claims, but there must be evidence that Canadian troops were responsible. Canada also compensates for harm done during joint operations with the Afghan National Army when it is unclear which force is responsible. All payments are made in Afghanis, the local currency. Sums greater than $2,000 need the approval of the deputy minister of defence. Jonathan Chaplan, a Justice Department lawyer, oversees all exgratia payments. Lawyers on the ground determine how much to pay out. “At the end of the day, you try to be fair and to determine what’s reasonable in the circumstances, given that there isn’t a legal obligation,” Chaplan said. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has publicly and angrily called on foreign forces to do more to ensure civilians aren’t caught in the crossfire. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Man gets jail for ‘horrific’ murder CONTRIBUTED

Even when she was homeless, Bly Markis kept in touch with her father and mother. Using the phone card they gave her, their once successful but by then drug addicted daughter would call every few days. But Martin DeNarvaez put an end to those conversations April 28, 2007, when he savagely beat

their only child, 33, known affectionately by her friends as California, in an office tower stairwell. On Thursday, Ontario Superior Court Justice John McMahon sentenced DeNarvaez, 26, who has several prior assault convictions, to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 14 years. In April, he pleaded guilty to sec-

ond-degree murder, avoiding a first-degree murder trial. “I’m very satisfied that he’s going to jail today,” Bly’s father, Peter Markis, told reporters. “He put us through a lot.” Eleanor Markis, Bly’s mother, said she looks forward to talking about their beautiful, compassionate daughter without referring

to DeNarvaez. “He has now been eliminated from my mind,” she said. McMahon said while two psychiatrists found DeNarvaez is mentally ill and substance addicted, he was nonetheless able to appreciate the nature of the “absolutely horrific” murder. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

A grieving mother whose teenage son was fatally struck by a bus after police dispersed a beach party is still looking for answers about how police did their job that night. A previous investigation that examined the service provided by police, not their conduct, found that policing was adequate. And the family fears nothing will come of a new review of police conduct recommended by the Toronto Police Services Board. Alex Gillespie, 17, was attending a party last Aug. 20 that was expected to draw as many as 4,000 people to the Ashbridge’s Bay area. He had been drinking for a short time but wasn’t drunk, said his mother, Kathryn Wright, who appeared before the police services board Thursday. Police Chief Bill Blair told the board 68 officers

“All night long, kids were running across the busy Lake Shore. There were two complaints to the police from a local resident saying there are kids running across the Lake Shore and somebody is going to get hurt. It went on deaf ears.” KATHRYN WRIGHT, MOTHER

were called to control “a large and growing crowd.” About 15 minutes after police dispersed the revellers at 10 p.m., Gillespie was hit by a TTC bus while trying to cross Lake Shore Boulevard east of Coxwell Avenue.

In an exclusive interview with the Toronto Star, Freeland’s adoptive mother spoke for the first time Thursday. “Somebody knows something,” Denise Freeland said from Calgary. “I don’t believe she was likely to take her own life. She didn’t get there by herself. She didn’t drive and didn’t even have a driver’s licence.”

The young woman’s body was found March 17. “I got a call from the birth mother,” she said. “I was pretty much in shock.” Kera had told her mother she was working in modelling. Denise and her husband adopted Freeland as an “endearing little girl” with a gift for art when she was seven. But she had also experienced much change and much loss after her birth mother, a struggling divorced woman with two children, gave her up for adoption. She moved from one foster home to another.

A Toronto ‘David’ beats a web Goliath Software company i4i pulls off a $290-million US patent victory over Microsoft Corp ‘The fields are open and we can plow ahead’

FRANK GUNN/THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Bay says it sees room for 30 to 50 Topshop locations across Canada.

YORKDALE IN MIX TOPSHOP SET TO CLICK WITH ONLINE BUYERS Torontonians will be able to access Topshop and Topman online when the U.K. fast-fashion retailers embark on a full-scale launch in Canada this year. In what’s being billed as an international first, the Bay, which holds Canadian franchise rights for the retailers, will set up online websites where shoppers can buy Topshop and Topman merchandise. Thebay.com/topshop and thebay.com/topman launch in September. The move will coincide with the Bay’s opening of the first destination location for Topshop and Topman in Canada. Yorkdale Mall will house the first store-

within-a-store location. Under its franchise rights, the Bay can also opt to open standalone shops. Temporary pop-up locations will bookend the summer, from June 17-19 at Queen West and Soho Streets, and in Muskoka from July 30 to Aug. 1. Toronto photographer and blogger Tommy Ton will gather a selection of favourite looks for a capsule collection that opens at the Bay’s Queen Street store June 30. Launched in 1964, Topshop has earned a significant following. Toronto boutique Jonathan and Olivia set up a Topshop store at its Ossington Avenue location last year.

Toronto-based software company i4i Inc. sees more growth ahead now that a “cloud” has been lifted from its business with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that confirms its $290million US patent victory over Microsoft Corp. “It’s hard to expand and grow your business when people feel it’s all under a cloud,” i4i chairman Loudon Owen said Thursday. “Now we think the fields are open and we can plow ahead,” Owen said in Toronto. “So in terms of the validity of our patent, the case is closed.” Now i4i — said to stand for Infrastructures for Information Inc. — will be able to promote and sell its technology saying it has been validated by the U.S. Supreme Court, he said. The landmark decision has implications for the patent world because it essentially upholds existing U.S. patent law, which is used for many of the world’s patents. “It’s one of the most important business cases the U.S. Supreme Court has decided in decades,” Owen said. “The unanimous decision has very clearly confirmed the current state of the law and it has added a great deal of certainty to the business community.” The U.S. high court up-

held a ruling that found the world’s largest software maker infringed on i4i’s patent in its Microsoft Word software. Microsoft was ordered to stop selling versions containing the infringing technology and to pay compensation to i4i. Several high-powered companies supported Microsoft, including Apple, Google and Cisco Systems. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto-based i4i sued Microsoft in 2007, saying it owned the technology behind a tool that gave Word 2003 and Word 2007 users an improved way to edit XML, which is computer code that tells the program how to interpret and display a document’s contents.

Many of i4i’s customers are pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer, Merck and Nexgen Pharma. The company also supplied technology to the U.S. patent office for an overhaul of its website for patent submissions. THE CANADIAN PRESS

City gets double-money jolt City departments that struggled to meet directives to slash five per cent of their annual budgets are now being ordered to double that — for a total cut equivalent to Toronto’s entire parks and recreation budget. Cutting 10 per cent would save $375.9 million and go halfway toward filling the $774-million gap in the 2012 operating

budget. But that savings goal is more than the entire fire department budget ($371 million), and equal to the $375 million it will cost to run the parks department. Mayor Rob Ford’s administration needs managers to look hard for savings, said Coun. Peter Milczyn, who is on the budget committee. “We need to challenge

them,” Milczyn said. “What we’re doing now is challenging the status quo.” In the past, bureaucrats have fallen short of such targets. Last year’s goal of chopping five per cent was achieved by some departments, but others boosted their budgets, including police, transit, public health and the zoo. The library board, in

particular, resisted the directive to find five per cent savings for 2011 and ended up with a slight increase in its $184-million allocation. An internal review will go on through fall. The results will be presented to the budget committee in late November and go to council for final signoff in January 2012. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Repair crews In the aftermath of a storm that ripped through Ontario Wednesday, Hydro One has sent out more repair crews than it did following the massive ice storm of 1998. About 1,300 Hydro One employees were in the field and some 90,000 people remained without power Thursday night. Restoration staff includes line maintainers, foresters and six helicopters. The severe storms downed hydro wires, upturned trees, and set off a number of lightning fires.

NDP would regulate gas costs: Horwath THE CANADIAN PRESS FILE

Gas prices in Ontario would be regulated under an NDP government to stop gouging at the pumps, leader Andrea Horwath said Thursday. “We can’t fix everything, but we can take steps to protect households from gas-price gouging, and I think it’s time that we do that,” said Horwath. If it wins the provincial election this fall, the NDP promises to set a weekly price cap on gasoline to give consumers some predictability. Her plan, she added, doesn’t mean consumers POLITICS

Ontario Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne poses Thursday in a template for a new Ontario photo identiﬁcation card at the legislature in Toronto. About 1.5 million people in Ontario don’t have a driver’s licence.

More than one million people in Ontario who don’t have a driver’s licence will soon have another option for government-issued identification, but it won’t allow them to cross the U.S. border. After a three-year wait, the province unveiled a new photo ID card Thursday for people who don’t have a driver’s licence. Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne acknowledged the ID card was a long time coming. Her 55year-old sister doesn’t drive and needs some other form of government-issued ID, she said. The driver’s licence is so “engrained” in the way business is done in Canada

“The reality is that there are many people who either choose not to, or do not have a driver’s licence. So simple transactions like opening a bank account, applying for a loan, making a purchase or simply showing identiﬁcation in order to be able to vote becomes complicated.” TRANSPORTATION MINISTER KATHLEEN WYNNE

that it’s become a stand-in for photo identification, Wynne said. The purple card, which costs $35 and is valid for five years, won’t have any Braille, but it will include raised lettering and a corner cut to make it easier for the visually impaired to find it in their wallet. The Liberals had also

promised an enhanced photo ID card that could be used instead of a passport to drive to the United States, but Wynne says the project has been put on hold because it’s too costly. However, the government may decide to go ahead with an enhanced card if there’s demand for it, she said. Ontario started

offering enhanced driver’s licences in May 2009 as an alternative to a passport for crossing the border into the U.S. and 39,331 have been issued so far. Applicants for the photo ID card must provide original documents that prove legal name, date of birth and signature, such as a birth certificate.

“I was afraid that the (photo ID) card was just going to be sitting on the backburner,” he said. The province spent about $6.5 million to produce the enhanced driver’s

Residential customers are charged about $6 a month to pay down the stranded debt left over from the old Ontario Hydro, but the two parties disagree on how much is outstanding.

Man faces murder charges

Pilot killed in accident identified

A young man from Tweed, Ont., faces murder charges after a woman was found dead earlier this week. The suspect and police officer were injured. Nathan Williams, 22, faces one count of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. Provincial police say an officer was attacked and shots were fired after police responded to a domestic dispute in the village north of Belleville Tuesday night. THE CANADIAN PRESS

A man from Ennismore, northwest of Peterborough, has been identified as the victim of a float plane accident in Balsam Lake.

G8 plans shrouded in secrecy: AG

ADRIAN WYLD/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Auditors unable to find documents detailing how projects were selected Unclear why $50 million was spent on Parry Sound-Muskoka The wording has been softened but the auditor general’s verdict remains much the same: The Harper government kept Parliament in the dark about a $50-million G8 fund that sprayed money on dubious projects in a cabinet minister’s riding. The final report on the G8 legacy infrastructure fund concludes that the government “did not clearly or transparently” identify how the money was going to be spent when it sought parliamentary approval for the funding. Moreover, the report criticizes the unprecedented lack of documentation to explain how and why 32 infrastructure projects in Ontario’s Parry SoundMuskoka region were selected to receive the government largesse. It concludes that public servants had no input into the selection process; that projects were approved by

No paper trail A total of 242 projects were identified as potential recipients of funding. Infrastructure Canada managed the legacy fund, but not the application intake or identification of priorities for funding and, thus, could provide no documentation about how projects were reviewed or chosen. Tony Clement told a news conference that the 242 originally proposed projects were advanced by six mayors in his riding. He asked them to whittle down the list to their top priorities, which they did, producing the 32 that eventually received funding. “So there’s no mystery here,” Clement said.

on the advice of Treasury Board president Tony Clement, whose cottage country riding hosted the G8 leaders’ summit. “It is very unusual and troubling,” interim auditor general John Wierse-

ma said Thursday after tabling the report, which was prepared under his predecessor Sheila Fraser. “There is no paper trail behind the selection of the 32 projects. I personally in my career in auditing

have not encountered a situation like that where there is absolutely no paper trail behind this.” In a separate chapter of the report, the auditor general says spending on operations and security

for both the G8 and subsequent G20 meetings in Ontario was presented piecemeal to Parliament instead of in a package, leaving MPs poorly informed about total costs. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Cutbacks leave RCMP scrambling, says report Delays in updating vital criminal record information have increased significantly because of mismanagement and funding shortfalls for national police services, says the federal spending watchdog. In a report Thursday, interim auditor general John Wiersema said the RCMP — which administers a slate of crucial police services — was scrambling to find enough money to keep them afloat. Wiersema’s audit fo-

cused on four areas: Forensic laboratory services; the national DNA data bank; the federal criminal intelligence service; and a computerized system of fingerprint and criminal record data. Despite a commitment to do so, the RCMP has not taken satisfactory steps to improve police services by acting on recommendations in three previous audit reports dating from 2000, Wiersema concluded. “The RCMP has difficulty

municipal partners, needs to decide which police services should be provided and how they should be delivered and funded.” Backlogs and delays in updating criminal record information had increased to 14 months for English updates and 36 months for French updates from five months in 2000, he found. Overall, the outstanding criminal record update backlog had jumped to 1.4 million from 186,000 in 2005-06. ADRIAN WYLD/THE CANADIAN PRESS

“I don’t think it matters a fig, frankly. The fact of the matter is Parliament was misinformed,” he said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

“I think that’s of serious concern,” Wiersema said. The RCMP spent about $194 million on the national police services last year, but received only $164 million in funding for them, said Peter Henschel, the force’s assistant commissioner for forensic science and identification services. “That gap is growing, I would say,” he said in an interview, adding that it may no longer be possible to pull money from other programs. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Budget slashed The RCMP has trimmed programs to help fund national police services. The RCMP’s federal international operations directorate — which has responsibility for organized crime probes, border integrity and drug enforcement — had to slash its budget by almost $48 million, or eight per cent, in the last fiscal year.

Reservists face 7-year wait on pension details: Report The Defence Department “dropped the ball” when it set up a pension plan for reservists, the auditor general says. The program is clogged by backlogs and some re-

servists may end up waiting as long as seven years to find out what their benefits will be and what it might cost them to upgrade their pension. THE CANADIAN PRESS

FANS TURNING SOUR JEFF HODSON

@METRONEWS.CA

After back-to-back maulings at the hands of the Bruins in Boston, the mood in Vancouver Thursday morning was as grey and dismal as the weather. Vancouver has long

had a reputation of being a bandwagon city. When the team is playing well, fans are giddy, loud and a little obnoxious. When the team plays poorly, fans are quick to turn on them. Fans who gathered at Rogers Arena to watch Game 4 on the centre ice scoreboard Thursday night serenaded goaltender Roberto Luongo with a Bronx cheer when he was yanked after four goals. Personally, I think he was pulled four periods too late. JEFF HODSON IS MANAGING EDITOR OF METRO VANCOUVER

Family with autistic boy won’t be deported: Source Immigration Minister Jason Kenney will rescind a deportation order for a South Korean family at the centre of a growing public protest in New Brunswick now that the province has confirmed it will cover health costs associated with the family’s autistic son, a federal source confirmed Thursday. The Maeng family’s story attracted national attention after federal officials said the family had to

leave Canada by June 30 because providing health care and social services for 14-year-old Sung-Joo would put too much strain on the system. On Wednesday, the New Brunswick government responded to growing public outrage by handing a private letter to the Moncton family confirming the province will cover the costs. Sung-Joo’s mother, HeeEun Jang, said she was elat-

ed with the decision. “I feel good, awesome, very good,” she said in an interview from the family’s grocery store. She said the support the family received from across Canada was “unbelievable.” An online petition supporting the family’s wish to stay in Canada had attracted 7,000 signatures, and a protest rally was scheduled for Sunday in Moncton.

‘Sad state of events’ affects entire community RCMP investigate apparent murder-suicide involving four members of young family in Nunavut THE CANADIAN PRESS

Sheila Levy was on her way to an Iqaluit school Thursday morning to counsel the classmates of a little girl who was one of four victims in an apparent murder-suicide the previous day. But before she could talk to the children, she first had to comfort the cabbie. “He knew the family and knew everybody. “There’s not anyone in this community that’s not affected by this sad state of events.” Experts and front-line workers in the North wonder why efforts to address one of Nunavut’s biggest public-health issues remain so scattershot. Sylvain Degrasse, 44, was

found by police at Iqaluit’s cemetery in the afternoon, a gun by his side. They found three more bodies at his home: His partner Vivian Sula Enuaraq, 29, and their daughters Alexandra, 7, and Aliyah, 2. RCMP refused to confirm

reports from local residents that Degrasse was found dead on the grave of his sister, who had committed suicide. The four bodies will be taken to Ottawa for autopsies. The deaths are being treated as homicides but the RCMP say they are not searching for any suspects. Both suicide and family violence are appallingly common in Nunavut. A 2009 report by NTI found Inuit men between 15 and 24 kill themselves at a rate roughly 28 times that of their peers in southern Canada — about 600 per 100,000. The overall suicide rate for Inuit is 11 times the Canadian average . THE CANADIAN PRESS

Conservative Party members have descended on Ottawa for a three-day conference that began Thursday night with rounds of speeches poking fun at the opposition, the media and even the Senate page who interrupted the throne speech by striding onto the floor holding a sign demanding Prime Minister Stephen Harper be stopped. Minutes into former minister Stockwell Day’s address to the roughly 2,000 people gathered at the Ottawa Convention Centre, his wife Valerie strode onto the stage holding a red stop sign with the words “We Love Harper.” The bit of political theatre showcased the party’s arrogantly victorious mood as it headed into a

policy weekend just weeks after winning its coveted majority government, taking 166 of the 308 seats in the House of Commons. The campaign catchphrase “strong stable Conservative majority government” made its way into every single speech, as did jibes at the new Opposition — the New Democrats. Master of ceremonies Stephen Blaney, who is the veterans’ affairs minister, joked he was one of the only Quebec MPs who didn’t need a map to find his riding — a poke at all the fresh-faced New Democrat MPs who, in at least one case, had never been to the riding in which they were elected. But Day suggested digs at the NDPers should no

longer be de rigeur in Parliament and called for a return to civility in the House, including from the media. The now elder statesman also cautioned that the cocksure attitude doesn’t mean the election victory can be taken for granted. “We have to earn the right to have those votes,” Day said. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney suggested in his speech that the party had more than earned the right, taking delegates through each step the party took to win its majority. He said only the Conservatives were truly in touch with Canadian values and celebrated the taking of Toronto-area ridings as proof. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Trouble is, he believes it’s real. And that’s why top U.S. conservatives are blazing a new warpath against the former Massachusetts governor. “Bye-bye, nomination,” radio host Rush Limbaugh,

a guiding light for hardcore conservatives, said this week after Romney stated publicly that the planet is getting warmer. “Another one down … the last year has established that the whole premise of man-made global warming is a hoax, and we still have presidential candidates that want to buy into it.”

“His run for president as a Republican is now oﬃcially over.” CHARLES JOHNSON,

Among the field of potential Republican candidates, only Romney’s fellow Mormon, Jon Huntsman, believes climate

change is not a hoax. A recent Gallup poll, however, suggested that even though Americans are less worried about global warming than they were a few years ago, it’s still a concern.

NATO airstrikes rattled the Libyan capital Thursday with clusters of bombing runs believed to have targeted the outskirts of Tripoli. At first, the intensity of the attacks suggested a return to the heavy NATO bombardment that hit a military installation Tuesday and flattened buildings in leader Moammar Gadhafi’s compound. By Thursday night, a total of 14 air attacks had been carried out, considerably less than Tuesday. The strikes are in support of a four-month-old rebel uprising that seeks to push Gadhafi from power after four decades.

Calgary homeless man loses battle against cancer Brother was at his side after 33 years apart Terry Pettigrew lived at Calgary’s Drop-In Centre for four years A homeless Calgary man who became a minor celebrity when he asked to go to Mardi Gras after being diagnosed with cancer has died. Terry Pettigrew became too sick and never actually went on the trip, despite having someone offer to

pay for his fare. The media attention, however, led to a reunion with his long-lost brother. In the weeks leading up to his death, the pain resulted in Pettigrew being unable to walk and he was moved to a hospice May 13. “It was a sad day. I was

the one that had to take him up in the cab,” said Christa Bistretzan, a med-

ical service assistant and close friend of Pettigrew’s. “He was full of emotion because that was the first step towards death.” With his older brother Larry at his bedside, Pettigrew died of Stage 3 squamous cancer on the morning of May 31. He was 58. KATIE TURNER

HOW TERRY CHANGED ME KATIE TURNER

There are certain instances in life where something clicks inside you and you know your life has changed. Terry Pettigrew was in his bunk bed when I went up to meet him. “Tell her if she wants to talk to me she’s going to have to come closer,” Pettigrew told a worker. “I don’t bite.” From there on out, my interactions with him were full of humour, honesty and an unparallel sense of kindness.

He often touted that he was just a grumpy old pervert, but the truth is he would willingly give you the shirt off his back. He mentioned several times that his goal was to leave a positive stamp on the Earth. Mission accomplished, Terry.

Death for honour killings Couple shot and buried by family In May, India’s top court called the practice barbaric and feudal The father and brother of a 20-year-old Indian woman have been sentenced to death for killing her and her husband for marrying within the same Hindu clan, police said Thursday. Eight other family members also were given the death penalty Wednesday for the killings three years ago in the northern Uttar Pradesh state, said Brij Lal, a top police officer. The defendants can appeal to a higher court. Judge Rajendra Babu Singh said the punishments should serve as a lesson to all those who kill in the name of saving family honour. Last month, India’s top court recommended the death penalty for perpetrators of honour killings, calling the practice barbaric and feudal.

A study 900 found that around 900 people are killed each year in India for defying their elders. Most victims are young adults who fell in love or married against their families’ wishes. In some cases, village councils ordered couples killed who married inside their clan or outside their caste. The 10 defendants were convicted of killing Vijaya and Udaipal Singh. Vijaya Singh’s parents opposed the marriage but she defied them, eloping with her lover and getting married secretly in a Hindu temple. The couple were shot to death and buried in a paddy field.

Face veil ban upheld in Spain A Spanish court has upheld a ban on face-covering Islamic veils worn in municipal buildings. In 2010, Lleida became the first Spanish city to impose the ban. The Catalan Regional Superior Justice Tribunal

suspended it following an appeal by a Muslim association. The court ruled Wednesday that the city was within its rights to ban the clothing for security and identification purposes. It also backed the argument that the veils are discriminatory. About three per cent of Lleida’s population is Muslim and few wear face-covering garments. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Henchmen’s leather coat to return The long black leather coats that struck fear into Soviet citizens as part of the ominous dress code for Stalin’s secret police, NKVD, appear to be making a comeback. The security forces who guard President Dmitry

Indian guru vows no arms A charismatic yoga guru has pledged to train his followers in self-defence and traditional martial arts but said they would never take up arms in fighting India’s endemic corruption. Baba Ramdev, a television celebrity watched by millions of viewers, was on the sixth day of a hunger strike Thursday to demand the return of billions of dollars stashed abroad illegally in tax havens by companies and wealthy Indians. A police raid forced Ramdev and thousands of his followers from a New Delhi park Sunday, injuring dozens and sparking enormous public outrage. Ramdev temporarily avoided police by disguising himself in women’s clothing and resumed his protest Monday from his

Russia faces surge in forest fires: Officials Country’s forests constitute 22 per cent of world’s total woodlands, an area larger than continental U.S. A devastating wave of wildfires across Russia could ravage millions of hectares of forests and cause worse damage than last year’s catastrophic blazes, environmentalists and officials said Thursday. “We’re burning, burning badly,’’ Greenpeace’s forestry expert, Alexey Yaroshenko, said. “This year’s situation is already much worse than last year’s.” In 2010, an unprecedented heat wave triggered fires that killed 55 people, destroyed thousands of houses and torched 2.6 million hectares of forests — an area slightly larger than the state of Oregon. This year, three firefighters have died and dozens of

Kremlin’s control Silenced Greenpeace claimed the Russian government is silencing information about fires, especially about the renewal of peat bog fires around Moscow that last year cloaked the capital with acrid, toxic smoke. Greenpeace “There are dozens of them around Moscow,” Greenpeace’s Grigory Kuksin said.

wildfires have already engulfed more than 600,000 hectares of mainly Siberian forests — nearly three times more territory than this time last year, the

Emergencies Ministry said. Once ignited, peat bogs can smoulder for months or years, surviving even heavy rains and snow. While burning, they emit acrid smoke that can aggravate asthma, bronchitis and heart conditions. Last year, Moscow was engulfed in a thick blanket of smog that, combined with the intense heat, doubled the death rate. Moscow authorities have allocated some $150 million to flood the peat bogs, but Greenpeace said that little has been done due to corruption and bureaucracy. “What’s been done is a drop in the ocean,” Yaroshenko said.

Experts predict hotter summers later this century

Soaking. In the sun

A new study from Stanford University predicts that global climate change will lead permanently to unusually hot summers by the middle of the century. Researchers Noah S. Diffenbaugh and Martin Scherer analyzed global climate computer models and concluded that large areas of the world could face unprecedented heat later this century. They said the coolest summers will be hotter than the hottest ones of the 1900s.

Conrad Black not elitist: Lawyer Defence team wants harmful testimony tossed

Conrad Black and his wife, Barbara Amiel, leave the Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago last July.

One of Conrad Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers has lashed out at U.S. prosecutors, accusing them of launching a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shamefulâ&#x20AC;? smear campaign to influence his resentencing hearing.

Carolyn Gurland also demanded that the scathing testimony of two prison workers this month be thrown out of court. Gurland said the portrayal of Black in their affidavits

One of the rewards of watching TV online is not having to sit through as many commercials. Now the networks are chipping away at that little luxury. CBS shows twice as many ads per show on its website as it did last year. The CW network shows four times as many. Dozens of shows from major cable networks now carry as many ads online as they do on TV. More shows will follow soon. The online audience is still small compared with television, but it’s growing. Networks hope that by showing more ads, they can make about as much money per viewer online as they do on the tube.

TV vs. Internet In the beginning, limiting commercials kept people from going to unauthorized websites to watch pirated copies of shows. It also helped networks reach new audiences in college dorms and teenage bedrooms. On average, U.S. residents spent about 160 hours per month in front of the tube in early 2010 and only seven watching video on a computer or phone, according to Nielsen Co.

It’s a change from the early days of online video. When ABC started putting full episodes of its shows online in 2006, fans could zip through the hour-long dramas Lost and Desperate Housewives in about 45 minutes. A recent episode of Hawaii Five-O had six and a half minutes of ads online. That’s less than the 16 minutes on TV but double what an hour-long show carried on CBS.com a year ago. In recent years, faster Internet connections and better technology have led some people to give up on regular TV — and hefty cable bills that come with it — and watch only online.

Competition keeps airfares grounded Transat forced to swallow rising fuel costs Success depends on nearly full planes this summer PAUL CHIASSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Travellers on Transat airlines won’t pay higher costs to fly to Europe this summer as increased competition is constraining its ability to raise fares to offset rising fuel prices. Transat A.T. Inc. said it cannot raise fares sufficiently to accommodate a 30 per cent rise in fuel costs. “Including everything, from the client perspective, prices are flat,” Denis Petrin, chief financial officer, said Thursday. Although fuel surcharges are higher, they are being balanced by lower base fares. Transat has boosted its summer capacity to Europe by 15 per cent, even

Jean-Marc Eustache

though it faces increased competition from Sunwing, Air Canada and other carriers. About 60 per cent of its bookings to the transatlantic market have been sold so far. Flying the planes nearly full is key to its continued success on

the summer routes. The desire to travel remains strong despite the lingering impact of the economic slowdown, added CEO Jean-Marc Eustache. “What we know from Canada is that people are still travelling more than ever,” he told analysts. Transat said its secondquarter profits grew to $8.6 million as the company booked stronger revenues but also grappled with higher fuel prices. Revenue grew to $1.1 billion from $1.06 billion, an increase of $40.7 million that the company attributes to higher average selling prices for tour packages due to bigger fuel surcharges.

I’m new to Canada. How important is it for me to establish a good credit history?

You won’t be able to borrow money for any significant purchase unless you have a good credit history — and chances are, your credit history back home won’t be factored in. So let’s look at your options here in Canada. First, a little background: Your credit history is a list of facts gathered from financial institutions, retailers and other lenders — the evidence, really, of how you handled credit in the past. Canada’s central credit bureaus keep track of how Canadians borrow and repay money, then create a credit score for borrowers. Your good credit score is proof to other potential lenders that you pay your bills, and pay them on time. So how do you earn one? “One great way is with a credit card,” says Melissa Jarman, Product Manager, Cards and Payment Solutions at RBC. “They’re essential for certain purchases, like renting a car or shopping online.

They’re also a convenient — and safe — way to pay for things without carrying around large sums of cash. Even if you already have a credit card from another country, it’s a good idea to get a Canadian one too.” An instalment loan is another way to build your credit history. “Instalment loans help you develop good cashflow management and budgeting habits,” says Lee

Arruda, Product Manager, Personal Lending Products at RBC. “You pay the same amount every month until your loan is covered. At the same time, you’re proving you’re responsible and organized with your money.” Obviously, it’s important to make your credit card and loan payments on time. If you can’t make your full credit card payment, at least pay the

minimum — it’s much better than missing a payment altogether. Resources are available to help you learn more. Some of your questions may be answered by contacting Citizenship and Immigration Canada (www.cic.gc.ca). You can also seek out advice from organizations in your own province, such as the B.C. government’s “Ask the Expert” service, part of WelcomeBC.ca, or

Ontario’s Settlement.org. Immigration et Communautés culturelles Québec, part of the Quebec government, deals with a range of immigrationrelated financial matters that may impact your ability to build a good credit history. And don’t forget to talk to your banker. He or she is in the business of helping you succeed, and a good credit history is key to making that happen.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth mentioning NEW YORK. After pressure

from four U.S. senators, Apple Inc. has said it will start rejecting iPhone applications that tip drivers off about police checkpoints for drunken driving. Apple updated its app developer guidelines Wednesday to exclude such apps. On Thursday, some DUI apps were still available in the App Store, but Apple usually gives developers a chance to update their apps so they can conform to the new guidelines before booting them. The apps often combine warnings about DUI checkpoints with warnings about speed traps and red-light cameras. Users of the applications help create the warnings by registering the locations. An Apple spokesman had no comment on the change in the guidelines and wouldn’t say why the change was made. The four senators asked Apple, Research In Motion Ltd., the maker of the BlackBerry, and Google Inc. to remove DUI-avoidance apps in March. RIM complied, but Google refused.

WEIRD NEWS

The true definition of an inside job A man was arrested in Spain after curling himself up inside a large suitcase that was placed in an airport bus cargo bay and sneaking out to steal from other people’s luggage, police said Thursday. The man arrested last week was five-foot-10 and very thin, a police official in the northeastern Catalonia region said. An accomplice was also arrested.

The accomplice would place the contortionist thief inside the cargo bay of a bus running from the airport in the city of Girona south to Barcelona, board the bus and then retrieve him at the end of the line. During the 100-kilometre ride, the man would slip out of the suitcase and use a sharp object to pick locks or open zippers to get into other people’s luggage, police said. He stole objects including cellphones, laptops and GPS devices and would place them in a smaller bag he brought with him. The thief would then get back into the larger suitcase and when the bus reached its destination, the accomplice would retrieve both pieces of luggage. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Plot synopsis

Welcome to the no-spoiler zone! Here’s what we can tell you about Super 8: The action in this movie begins with six Lillian, Ohio kids shooting an amateur zombie movie. As their super 8 film rolls they witness a terrifying real-life train derailment. Soon strange things start happening in town as the army tries their best to contain the situation.

Reel Guys

RICHARD CROUSE & MARK BRESLIN SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Super 8 is super great Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin agree there’s a lot to like about Super 8 Director J.J. Abrams draws out the suspense, with Spielbergian flourishes Richard Crouse: Mark, J.J. Abrams directs Super 8 the way he produced the TV show Lost. He draws out the suspense, doling out just enough detail, shocks and surprises to keep the story interesting and moving forward. He knows that the strength of the movie isn’t the special effects or the whatever-it-is that is causing all the trouble, but the relationship between the kids. Call it Stand By Me with a giant bug... or a monster... or something. I’m not saying what! Mark Breslin: All true, but you can feel Steven Spielberg’s hand guiding the movie all the way along.

The suburban flyover state setting, the gentle outsider child protagonists, the deceased parent, the bicycles, the alien who just wants to go home, all Spielberg motifs. And setting it in the early ’80s, when Spielberg had his big sci-fi hits, surely was no coincidence. RC: Perhaps so, but despite the Spielbergian flourishes, this still very much feels like an Abrams creation to me. His fingerprints are all over the action sequences — particularly the out-of-control train wreck scene — and even the sweetness we’ve come to associate with Spielberg has been dialled

back. It’s still there — very much so in the film’s last 10 minutes — but Abrams manages to set the tone as though he is paying homage to the saccharine tendencies of his mentor than actually aping him.

filmmaking, which played such an important part in the beginning of the movie, is dropped midway through the flick. The scenes of those kids making movies were dripping with charm.

MB: That train wreck scene had me on the edge of my seat! But the rest of the picture did not exactly exude menace. It’s more of a character piece about the young teens, and I thought the kids were great, certainly more interesting than the adults (which may be one of the points of the movie). I liked the picture, and my only real quibble was that the kids’

RC: I thought so too. Those scenes had a sense of fun to them and established the personalities of all the main kid characters. I think I liked this one more than you. I thought Super 8 was super great. MB: Well, the middle was a bit soft and I’m always skeptical about courageous 14-year-olds. Still, there’s a lot to like in this one.

Up close and personal with Mr. Popper’s Penguins James Tupper stars alongside aquatic actors in movie version of children’s book But was more intimidated by Jim Carrey — at first RICHARD CROUSE

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

James Tupper, the Nova Scotia-born star of Mr. Popper’s Penguins, calls his costars “ornery.” No, he’s not talking about Jim Carrey or Angela Lansbury. He’s referring to the movie’s aquatic, flightless actors. “They kind of look like toddlers wearing a tuxedo with their chests sticking out in this really open, sweet way,” he says. “But when you get close to them they will give you a nip.” To accommodate the birds, the film’s set was kept below zero. “You could see your breath all

day long,” says Tupper. As for working with the penguins, he says they’re not great actors, but performing opposite the Antarctic imports was less strange than acting without them. Computer-generated penguins were used for several scenes, which meant Tupper would have to emote to a mark on the wall. “There would just be a dot on the wall and they would put the penguin in later. Sometimes the director would be back there saying, ‘Oh! Oh! I’m going to bite you!’ and act stuff out for you to react to but we all got this weird ‘act-

ing to the dot’ effect.” Tupper, best known for his work on television shows like Men In Trees (where he co-starred with his fiancée Anne Heche) and Grey’s Anatomy, says the penguins weren’t the set’s most intimidating presence. At first anyway. “It was a little bit intimidating when I first met him,” he says of Jim Carrey. “He slapped me on the back and was like, ‘Jim or James?’ I said, ‘You know what. I think you’ve probably got Jim covered. I’m going to stick with James.’” That intimidation soon gave way to a lively collaboration. “He’s really fun. It’s a

“

playful set. He improvises a lot and generally has the crew chuckling most of the day.” James, however, wasn’t the only member of his family impressed with Carrey. His nine-year-old son is also a fan. “When we read the book Mr. Popper’s Penguins to him in bed, he got so excited when he found out Jim Carrey was in it. He said, ‘Can you please get Jim Carrey to sign it?’ So I did. I took it to New York and he signed it and I brought it back and I said, ‘Would you like me to sign it too?’ No! Why! I said, ‘Cut me a break. I’m in the movie.’”

Exploring the evil deeds TOBY CANHAM/GETTY IMAGES

Michael Sheen speaks to Metro about how difficult his role was in the new film Beautiful Boy NED EHRBAR

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN LOS ANGELES

Beautiful Boy examines the tragedy of a school shooting from an as-yetunder-explored viewpoint: The parents (Michael Sheen and Maria Bello) of the massacreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perpetrator. It proved to be a thought-provoking and emotionally intense job for Sheen, who sat down with Metro to talk about his role. This ďŹ lm deals with some heavy material. How do you approach playing so much grief and guilt?

In some ways, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same as anything. Regardless of what the subject matter is, you have to have a playfulness. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretending. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretending â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how heavy or serious the subject matter is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still pretending. And that has to have a sense of joy in it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game, ultimately. It might be a very serious game, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a game. I think in a way the pitfall or the trap that you can fall into when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something that is, quoteunquote, heavy and serious is that somehow youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be heavy and serious all the time with it.

and alive so that when we went into the scenes that carried over. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting position your character is in, being the parent of the perpetrator.

From a dramatic point of view, for the parents of the students who have been tragically killed, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the grief that they feel about what has happened. In some ways, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less dramatic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less important, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less dramatic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a straight line, in a way. For the parents of the person who has perpetrated the crime, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling the grief for their child, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling grief for a child who has done something, quote-unquote, evil. From a dramatic point of view, there is a lot of untapped material there, I guess.

Michael Sheen plays the parent of a perpetrator of a heinous crime.

You just tire yourself out. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sustain that. Then it just becomes one big heavy mess. Was it like that on this set?

Definitely, yeah. I think

for a Christmas pantomime. It’s about a young girl who desperately wants to have an exciting summer, but ends up stuck with a strange aunt, a Bigfoot-obsessed brother and no friends. Somehow I’ve got a feeling that lessons of acceptance and secret excitement are just around

the corner. It’s all a bit grating, coated in a stink of desperation from filmmakers who are desperately trying to appeal to young audiences they don’t understand. If your kids enjoy the book, then the film might be worth a look. Otherwise, stay as far away as possible. PHIL BROWN

feature film directing with this surprisingly dark coming-of-age comedy about an awkward teen, the eczema scarred arsonist he loves and the new age guru trying to steal his mother. It’s a shockingly

assured directorial debut for the former TV comic that may riff a little too heavily on Ayoade’s cinematic influences, but that’s excusable on a first effort. Ayoade’s acidic wit keeps the laughs coming

’Peg writer offers up witchy new novel

RICHARD WAGNER/THE CANADIAN PRESS HANDOUT

One of Susie Moloney’s earlier books commissioned by Tom Cruise’s production company Public appetite for supernatural fuelled by Twilight Author Susie Moloney had an interest in the supernatural from an early age, becoming fascinated with the Salem witch trials and the legend of the Sasquatch.

Susie Moloney experienced the thrill of fright at a very young age. “My mother was a huge horror fan,” explains the Winnipeg author, whose latest horror-tinged novel, The Thirteen, hit stores this week. “She would get scared watching scary movies late at night and she’d come wake us up to keep her company.” Moloney and her brother obliged. And although the author claims, with a laugh, to have slept with her head under the covers ever since, terror clearly titillates her. “It’s like anything else that gets the adrenalin going, you know? It’s like falling in love, it’s like having a damn fine laugh.”

Strange sisters

All of Moloney’s books have delved into otherworldliness, from her chilling 1995 debut Bastion Falls to 1997’s supernatural drought story A Dry Spell and 2003’s haunted house tale The Dwelling. The Thirteen marks her first foray into the world of witches. “I ... liked the idea of being a witch,” explains Moloney, who has two sons. “You have this image when you go into suburban living ... you imagine that your children are going to be perfect, brilliant, successful, talented, your house is going to be spotless and gorgeous...the reality sinks in that you cannot do this without witchcraft!” THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Thirteen tells the story of Paula Wittmore, a down-on-her-luck waitress who returns to her hometown with her daughter. There, she visits her ailing mother, reconnects with her former best friend and encounters a strange group of women oddly anxious for her to join their circle.

Kings paying tribute to Queens HANDOUT/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Blackie & the Rodeo Kings get guests Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams on new CD Surprise on tour? The band says it’s altogether possible that some of their guests from their new album could hop onstage with the group while on tour. They also raised the possibility that some female vocalists who weren’t on the album might also be up for a duet.

THE FORMAT WARS SOUND CHECK ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA

All throughout history, an established technology never had a chance if something more convenient came along. Just look at what we’ve seen with music over the last 140 years or so. Cylinders vs. Rotating Discs

Thomas Edison’s phonograph with its rotating wax or metal cylinders established that sound could be captured. But then Emile Berliner showed that rotating flat discs played on his gramophone were far superior. Why? Better sound and because discs had a B-side — twice as much music for the same price.

Edison had no choice but to move from cylinder to disc. Phonographs vs. Gramophones

The phonograph tracked grooves in the record by going up and down. The gramophone’s needle went from side-to-side. This meant that phonograph records couldn’t be played on gramophones and vice-versa, forcing consumers to take sides. While it’s true that Edison’s machine delivered slightly better sound, the up-and-down motion of the steel needle wore out the record more quickly. Undeterred by this minor issue, Edison stuck to his guns and refused to make any changes to his machine. Ultimately, though, the gramophone won out and Edison stopped making phonographs and records entirely by about 1930. 78s vs. LPs

By the 1930s, the standard rotation rate for discs was 78 RPM, which meant that each record could store on-

ly about four minutes per side. Columbia Records changed that in 1948 with the introduction of the vinyl 33 1⁄3 RPM LP (LongPlaying), a format that could store up to 22 minutes per side. From that moment, the 78 was doomed. LPs vs. 45s

Although Columbia offered to license their new technology to rival RCA, they would have none of it. Instead, they countered with the vinyl 45 RPM 7inch single in 1949. RCA contended that four or five minutes of music per side was all consumers really wanted. But if they did want more, they could simply stack 45s for continuous play on the large spindle of the brand new automatic RCA-manufactured record changer. (This is why the hole at the centre of a 45 is so big; the larger diameter was necessary to let the record slide down the spindle without prematurely fraying the area around hole.) Next week

The Streaming Wars.

Frolic and the ’07 follow-up Let’s Frolic Again. The concept behind the new album was essentially to pair the roots-rock group’s three unique voices with an all-star roster of female singers, including Lucinda Williams, Emmylou

Harris, Exene Cervenka and Roseanne Cash. Linden jetted around North America — to Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles and even Woodstock, N.Y. — with his computer to record the Queens. And the trio now has

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Back in 1996, Tom Wilson recorded what he figured was a one-off project with Colin Linden and Stephen Fearing under the band name Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. Wilson didn’t think about it much. The group had been assembled to pay tribute to the late Canadian folk troubadour Willie P. Bennett, so it was a lark, a fun diversion. Wilson didn’t even wait until the album was finished to leave and embark on his next project. “We thought we were recording a record and that was it,” Wilson said in a recent interview at a stylish Italian restaurant in Toronto. “I said, ‘It was great to

glowing praise for each of the women featured on the album. Sara Watkins was “really great.” Serena Ryder, who sang on driving closer Black Sheep, was a “real powerhouse.” And Cervenka? Well, Wilson was so enthusiastic about her performance he could only sum it up with an unprintable obscenity. Mostly, though, the band raved about how their own vocals improved because of the presence of their 14 guests. “We sang better,” Wilson said. “The same way that we’re better men — better people — for the women that have surrounded our lives either on a long-term basis or a short-term basis, the same thing happened musically. “We’re better singers, better people.”

How many wines are there in the world? The funny thing is, I don’t know. If you take a stab at counting grape varieties and multiply by worldwide wineries and all their individual brands and available vintages, you’re easily talking millions. That’s why when you write about wine, it’s easy to get caught up in the new and forget established juice. I thought about that when I recently tried the stalwart Wolf Blass Eagle Hawk Shiraz ($13.00 - $13.99). I was at a local resto with a limited wine list and took the waiter’s suggestion of the 2009 vintage. I do love how my preconceived notions of a wine can get the better of me and really got into how its dryblackberry-meetssweet-blueberry fruit and trail of inky, black licorice spice tasted so ...hip. It’s a perfect back deck red that would match with a nice piece of grilled beef as well as it would hamburgers. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS

Great White Sharks Dig AC/DC An Australian has been testing the effect of music on big sharks. Matt Wallace is playing tunes for the sharks through underwater speakers. He says the Great Whites like AC/DC best, often rubbing their snouts along the speaker. It could mean the end of using fish guts to summon the sharks, making adventure diving more sustainable.

Leafs reward Reimer with $5.4M extension

Canucks looking to stop their slide

Goalie expected to be starter next season after signing three-year deal Jean-Sebastien Giguere’s future with team remains uncertain BRUCE BENNETT/GETTY IMAGES

sports

Time: 8 p.m. TV: CBC

Reimer wasn’t touted as a top prospect by the organization until bursting on the scene in January. With Giguere and Gustavsson each out with injuries, he took over and went on to post a 20-10-5 record in 37 games with a 2.60 goalsagainst average and .921 save percentage. It was an improbable run for the man from tiny Morweena, Man., who didn’t start playing organized hockey until he was 12 and got drafted by the Leafs 99th overall in 2006.

The only thing even about the Stanley Cup final is the fact the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins have each won two games. The matter in which the Bruins surged back into this series with a pair of blowout victories on home ice was markedly different than the way Vancouver established an early 2-0 lead. It has created an interesting dynamic with the final shifting back to Rogers Arena Friday for Game 5 and a few more twists and turns expected on this emotional rollercoaster. Despite being outscored 12-1 at TD Garden in Games 3 and 4, opportunity is still knocking for a Vancouver team trying to bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada for the first time since 1993. “You know, if somebody would have told me at the beginning of the year that we could play for the Stanley Cup, best two out of three series with home ice advantage in front of our fans, I would have taken that anytime to play for the big prize,” said Canucks coach Alain Vigneault. “That’s what we’ve got right now.”

James Reimer has signed a $5.4-million US, three-year extension with the Leafs.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are ready to run with James Reimer. The 23-year-old goaltender capped off a dream season by signing a $5.4million US, three-year contract extension Thursday. Reimer led the team on a surprising second-half turnaround after getting called up from the American Hockey League. “He earned the opportunity to play at the NHL level this past season and he made the most of it with his outstanding play,” Maple Leafs general man-

level. He is expected to be the team’s No. 1 goaltender next season. Burke still has a decision to make on veteran goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who had off-season sports hernia surgery and is due to become an unrestricted free agent July 1. Jonas Gustavsson is also under contract for next season.

Jays settle for a split

Kansas City’s Jeﬀ Francoeur steals a base over Toronto second baseman Aaron Hill yesterday.

Toronto hasn’t won a series in Kansas City since 2003 season Jeff Francoeur drove in two runs, helping Luke Hochevar win for the first time in seven starts, and the Kansas City Royals survived Joakim Soria’s shaky ninth Thursday to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2. Soria, reclaiming the closer role he lost May 30 after back-to-back blown saves, loaded the bases in the ninth but got his eighth save in 13 opportunities. Edwin Encarnacion and Rajai Davis hit one-out singles off the two-time allstar, then Mike McCoy, after being down 0-2, drew his fourth walk of the day

to load the bases with two out. But Soria got Corey Patterson on an infield popup, giving the Royals their fifth win in 19 games.

Hochevar (4-6) allowed two runs in the fourth but nothing else in seven innings. The right-hander gave up six hits, walked three and struck out three. He did not give up a home run for the fourth straight start after allowing 13 in his first 10 outings. Ricky Romero (5-6) pitched an eight-inning complete game for Toronto, allowing three runs on eight hits, with two walks and four strikeouts. Alcides Escobar singled in the third and scored the first run on rookie Eric Hosmer’s soft single into right.

Melky Cabrera then reached on a fielder’s choice and Francoeur rifled a two-run single into right as the Royals completed a season-high 11-game homestand with a 4-7 record and kept the Blue Jays from winning the series. In the Blue Jays’ second, Jose Bautista reached on a fielder’s choice, Adam Lind singled and J.P. Arencibia tripled into left field. Mitch Maier made a leap for the ball, but it hit the wall and bounced back toward centre field as Lind and Bautista scored. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Boyd returns to Argos lighter and faster

RICK EGLINTON/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

It was a scene that played itself out dozens of times last year. Running back Cory Boyd lowering his shoulder and hurling himself at a linebacker in a thunderous collision. The play drew hoots of appreciation from Boyd’s Toronto Argonauts teammates Thursday morning. The approving chorus came partly because such hits have been rare in the first week of training camp — and not just because there tends to be a lot less hitting in practice. Boyd, who rushed for 1,359 yards and left a lot of would-be tacklers in pain last season, has been a different kind of running back in camp. Where he might have run over an opponent in the past, he now finds ways to get around

“I felt as though I had to run over everybody and be that wrecking ball. I tried to live up to everybody else’s expectations.” ARGONAUTS RUNNING BACK CORY BOYD ON HIS WEIGHT LAST YEAR

them. To that end, he dropped 20 pounds in the off-season to improve his speed. “I felt last year I was out of shape and didn’t do my team any good,” Boyd said after practice Thursday. “I didn’t really trust my speed, so I put on weight.” While the end result was good, Boyd suffered at least two concussions and left the East final with an injured pelvis. “I had to change my game,” he said. Head coach Jim Barker says he’s not worried that Boyd might have changed his approach too much.

“He gets through a hole a little quicker,” Barker said. “He’s not looking to trick somebody. He’s looking to figure out how he can set that guy up. “Obviously, once the games start his physical nature is going to come out. I know Cory and that’s going to happen.” Barker plans to get Boyd more involved in the passing game this season and expects him to be better than he was last year when his fellow players named him the league’s toughest player and best running back. “We just expect him to

expand his game,” he said. Boyd says he’s fine with that because his only goal is to win a Grey Cup. He says the fact he lost the CFL rushing title by 37 yards to Winnipeg’s Fred Reid after sitting out the season’s final game doesn’t bother him in the least. “The only trophy I look forward to winning is the Grey Cup,” he said. “My awards don’t mean anything if my team doesn’t win.” He says he has no doubts the Argos can win, mainly because the bulk of the team has had a year under Barker. “Last year, we were running around not knowing anything, learning a new playbook and new terminologies,” he said. “It was just crazy. This year, it’s a lot different.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Five years after going up 2-0 on the Heat, the Mavs finally got that elusive third victory, and can wrap up their first championship in Game 6 at Miami on Sunday night.

and 10 assists, and Dwyane Wade battled through a sore left hip after a first-quarter collision to finish with 23 points. They get the final two games at home, but history is against them as they try to win a title in their first season together: In the 26 previous times finals that were tied 2-2, the Game 5 winner won 19 of them.

The Mavs shot 60 per cent through three quarters, briefly gave up the lead in the fourth, then controlled the final few minutes, just as they had in thrilling comebacks in Games 2 and 4. This time, they got to play from ahead thanks to some sizzling shooting: 56.5 per cent from the field, including 13 of 19 (68 per cent) from threepoint range. Jason Terry scored 21 points and J.J. Barea had 17 for the Mavs, with Nowitzki briefly throwing both arms in the air as he walked off the court surrounded by a sea of blue fans who hope he’ll bring home a championship trophy if they can pull out another victory in Miami.
