Local residents in midst of riot Despite not being much of a hockey fan, 34-year-old Candace Lega found herself in the thick of things in downtown Vancouver Wednesday night. The Edmontonian was out west with her fiancé Jeff, and they were headed to a pub when they came across Georgia and Hamilton streets — the epicentre of what became complete chaos after the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins. “You could walk right into the fire,” said Lega “You could hear things going off. I didn’t feel safe. People are shoving you; I was losing my flip-flops.” Lega witnessed similar activities in Edmonton in 2006 during the Oilers’ Stanley Cup run. “There were people hanging from light posts and trees, dropping into traffic and lighting things on fire. But it seems to me it was much worse (in Vancouver).” Fellow Edmontonian Jenna Buckley, 22, escaped the scene before the riot really began. “We drove by today and everything was cleaned up,” she said Thursday. “I was pretty impressed.” HEATHER MCINTYRE
The corner of Whyte Avenue and 105 Street, home to When Pigs Fly and Burlington Tobacconists, has seen its fair share of riots.
‘We’ve been through it. We’ve been there’ Vancouver Stanley Cup street riot evokes memories on Whyte Avenue HEATHER MCINTYRE
@METRONEWS.CA
Images of the riot that unfolded in downtown Vancouver are a bit too familiar for some local residents. “It brought back some graphic and disturbing memories,” said Sgt. Tony Simioni, president of the Edmonton Police Association. “We’ve been through it. We’ve been there, done that.”
Riots erupted on Whyte Avenue on Canada Day in 2001 and again when the Edmonton Oilers made their Stanley Cup run in 2006. A number of businesses sustained damage in 2006, including Burlington Tobacconists on 105 Street. “Ground zero was essentially in front of my store,” said owner Chris Hansen. Surrounding stores, such as Chicken Scratch and Chapters, also had windows smashed, while others were
luckier. “I was very fortunate,” said Jenny Sherwin, owner of 105 Street’s When Pigs Fly. “(The police) did what they could.” Sherwin noted that it only takes a small group to “ruin it for everybody.” Simioni agreed, but added this doesn’t give anyone an excuse to stand by and watch. “The excuse of just watching, that causes the issue,” he said. “Go home.”
By the numbers
1 2 3
Edmonton’s Whyte Avenue riots on Canada Day in 2001 resulted in injuries and 15 arrests. Riots during the 2006 Edmonton playoffs resulted in about $1 million in damage. Vancouver police say about 100 were arrested, and 150 were injured.

List of complaints the ‘tip of the iceberg’ for police dealings: Somali leader Police commission vows to review letter asking for ‘institutional change’ SHELLEY WILLIAMSON/METRO
Group setting the festival mood A new group is moving to the streets of Edmonton to create extra buzz about the upcoming Capital Ex festival. The Woot Camp Crew will be working to get people in the mood for the festival through different games and activities. The Woot team was presented at a launch for Capital Ex Thursday and will be popping up all over Edmonton until the festival kicks off July 22. “The kids are really excited about doing the drills
and really excited just to be part of everything, so we’re hoping that will transcend throughout the city,” said Jennifer Guzzwell, public relations specialist at Northlands. A new ride, Spin Out, was also presented at the launch. Ontario band Finger Eleven was added to the list of artists performing at the festival, which already includes Natasha Bedingfield and Ace of Base. Capital Ex will be held at Northlands until July 31. KATRINE SORENSEN

The Somali community is asking the Edmonton Police Commission to hire one of its own to bridge the divide between its community and the police. “We are calling for institutional change by the commission and if they don’t do that, we petition the province and the federal (government) to come and investigate,” said Mahamad Accord, president of the Alberta Somali Community Centre. Accord said of the 13 homicides in the past three years, only one involving a Somali was solved and that was directly because of his community’s help, not police work. “Maybe they should pay us to do the work of the police; we’re already doing it,” Nyambura, executive director of the Edmonton Multicultural Society, told reporters. Accord said Somali youth have been turned away from police recruitment offices. “If we don’t see action, that means it’s proof what we say is true,” Accord said. Accord said out of a local Somali population of 14,000, he can’t believe
Mahamad Accord, a local Somali leader, speaks to reporters at the police commission meeting last night.
Police treatment Police are treating Somalis like “second-class citizens” as they investigate crimes, said Mahamad Accord, who alleges people who could help investigations are not being called.
Among issues addressed in a letter are “hurtful” remarks by Det. Bill Clark to media on Jan. 2 regarding the local Somali community. Police handling of violent attacks on Somali members and unsolved
homicide cases is also being called into question in the June 3 letter to the police commission. A town hall is slated for June 24 at the Alberta Avenue Community League to address gun and gangrelated violence.
there is not one qualified member the Edmonton police could hire. “We are asking them to
hire people to know the language and the culture,” he said. The police commission
said it had a copy of the letter addressing Accord’s concerns, which it would review.

The Edmonton Police Service hopes to take cues from Winnipeg and Vancouver in dealing with its most vulnerable. Insp. Ed Keller said a huge problem facing police downtown is not having a place for publicly intoxicated people — and the drunk tank is no answer. “Vulnerable people who live downtown who are intoxicated are in one of the most highly victimized groups,� Keller told a police commission meeting

“It would be really good if we had a safe place to take these people.�
@METRONEWS.CA
Nina Courtepatte wanted to be a star and her mother is helping make that happen. Five years after the 13-year-old’s murder, Peacha Atkinson chooses to celebrate her life. She has hotdogs and hamburgers for 1,000, but she worries it’s not enough. “I have heard it could be up to 3,000,� said Atkinson of the event, which will be held 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ottawa holds Nina’s Pic-
nics, and Saskatoon will hold its version. But Atkinson wants the tribute to her child and other murdered and missing loved ones to spread globally. Her gregarious girl loved picnics and gatherings with family and friends — friends Nina made easily. “She’d get people to tell her their life story,� said Atkinson. Picnic-goers are encouraged to bring photos of missing, murdered or missed loved ones. “It’s for anyone who’s
Thursday night. The Vancouver Detox Centre and Winnipeg’s Main Street Project are among models the EPS’s Inner City Police and Crisis Team (ICPACT) has studied. Vancouver and Winnipeg provide what Edmonton does not have — a place for drunk, and often violent, individuals to sober up safely. That’s an issue the city’s police chief, Rod Knecht, would also like to see addressed. “It would be really good if we had a safe place to take these people.� SHELLEY WILLIAMSON

Police take cues from Vancouver, Winnipeg to help the vulnerable
lost someone,� said Atkinson. Balloons will be released to Amazing Grace, one of Nina’s favourite songs, at 4 p.m. “That’s the emotional part,� said Atkinson, adding Child Find will have a table to register kids, and giveaways, music and sunscreen stations are also planned. This is the first year the free picnic — which Atkinson used to pay for — will feature all donated items. “I felt it was my way of healing,� she said.
About ICPACT Partnerships include Pathways to Housing, 97 Street businesses and Alberta Health Services. Social workers, mentalhealth workers and intensive training for officers who police the downtown division are also among initiatives being used to deal with the vulnerable. The goal is to become “strategic partners in the inner city,� reduce crime, disorder and victimization, and make the area more attractive aesthetically. Some initiatives include helping vulnerable people access ID and addressing mental-health issues, addictions and other social and economic factors.

Edmontonians will gather on Saturday to celebrate the inner city with live music, free food and art for all to enjoy. The Hope Mission will be hosting the Hope Street Festival, an event meant to showcase the diversity of the downtown core and its residents. This free family event helps to connect the inner city with other communities in Edmonton. “It’s a celebration, a party, that’s what it’s meant to be,” said Denis Meier, head of community relations at the Hope Mission. “Most think this is a scary place, (but) it isn’t.” Performers are mostly residents or former residents involved with pro-

Cleaning up their city and reputation Around 1,000 show up at Vancouver’s riot site to help clean Broken windows turn into impromptu shrine Embarrassment and anger over the Stanley Cup riot brought volunteers to Vancouver’s downtown Thursday in a massive effort to clean the city’s streets and its soiled reputation. “I’m clearing up other peoples’ mess,” said Annabel Heath. “I’m from the U.K. and this is my safe place. It shouldn’t be ruined by other people being stupid.” Tim McMillan, with the department of sanitation, provided volunteers with equipment. “It sounds like close to 1,000 people showed up, and the city is as clean as I’ve ever seen it,” he said.

Canadian city, the seventh game of the Stanley Cup final is about as big as it gets. The 100,000-plus crowd was charged up and ready for action. The addition of booze to that fuel — many people took the day off and spent the lead-up to the game drinking in bars — resulted in something called alcohol myopia, changing the way people process information and pushing the long-term consequences from the mind’s of people. The final ingredient, Schmader said, were rabble-rousers that came downtown intentionally looking to spark trouble. DAVID PROCTOR AND

Wednesday riot worse than 1994, officials say The riot that followed the Vancouver Canucks’ Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins resulted in 15 cars being torched, nearly 100 arrests and scores of people sent to hospital. One man was seriously injured after falling off an overpass. Vancouver police Chief Jim Chu said there were about three times as many rioters than in the previous Stanley Cup riot 17 years ago. “I was out in ’94 and I’ve seen more damage ... than in ’94,” Murray Wightman, the manager of city operations, said Thursday morning. Investigators are reviewing video and photographic evidence from the public to identify suspects.

vate sector to produce marijuana in a way that is similar to how conventional drugs are produced — by companies, under tightly regulated conditions. The move is a response to complaints from mayors, police and firefighters — mainly in British Columbia — who say sanctioned growers are abusing their permits and often growing far more than they need. THE CANADIAN PRESS
About 10,000 people have prescriptions for medical marijuana in Canada. And about 3,400 licences have been issued to grow the plants — two-thirds of them in Ontario and British Columbia. B.C. mayors have been asking Health Canada to change the medical-marijuana rules to require municipal permits. Mayors say licences to cultivate medical marijuana have been given out without informing local authorities or requiring proper building permits. The mayors took their campaign to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities earlier this month.

CF-18 jet fighters strike Tripoli Canadian military says bombing runs targeted command-and-control elements of Gadhafi’s forces Canadian warplanes have bombed the Libyan capital of Tripoli. A Canadian Forces spokesman confirms that CF-18 jet fighters took part in four days of targeted strikes last weekend. But the spokesman could not say whether any of the strikes came close to hitting Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The Canadian jets were involved in day and night raids on Tripoli, which has recently been the focus of more intense NATO bombing. They struck at depots

housing armoured vehicles in an attempt to degrade Gadhafi’s command-andcontrol structures. The latest NATO strike near Gadhafi’s compound rattled windows across the heart of the capital, producing thunderous concussions and smoke billowing into the air.
NATO launched its air campaign nearly three months ago under a United Nations resolution to protect civilians. What started as a peaceful uprising inside the country against Gadhafi and his more than four-decade rule has become a civil war. Fighting between government forces and the rebels had reached a stalemate until last week, when NATO launched the heaviest bombardment of Gadhafi forces since the alliance took control of the skies over Libya.

Diplomatic efforts heat up in Libya Renewed diplomatic efforts to halt Libya’s civil war appeared to be gaining momentum Thursday as thunderous NATO airstrikes once again hammered Moammar Gadhafi’s stronghold of Tripoli. Officials in the capital say they are open to international efforts that would bring an end to four months of fighting be-
tween forces loyal to the longtime leader and rebels who control the eastern third of the country along with pockets in the west. But they insist that Gadhafi will not bow to international pressure to push him aside. “We don’t accept anything that may be done against him. He is a red line in our discussions,” Prime Minister al-Baghda-
di al-Mahmoudi said. Any deal that would partition the country is also unacceptable, he added. One of Gadhafi’s sons told an Italian newspaper that while his father would not seek exile, elections under international supervision could offer a way out.

Gunshot victim leaves hospital Release marks new milestone in Rep. Giffords’ recovery from shooting
Intensive therapy to continue
SUSAN WALSH/P.K. WEIS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A U.S. congresswoman who was shot in the head in January has moved into her husband’s suburban Houston home, beginning a new phase in her recovery that will allow her to blend daily trips to the hospital with a more routine family life. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ departure Wednesday from Houston’s TIRR Memorial Hermann indicates she has made enough progress in her recovery from a devastating gunshot wound to be released from the hospital. But she still has a long, arduous journey ahead of her. She struggles to speak and walk, and will continue daily, intensive therapy for months, and possibly years. Whether she will ever recover enough to resume her congressional duties is still unknown.
“Anyone who knows Gabby knows that she loves being outside. Living and working in a rehab facility for five months straight has been especially challenging for her.” MARK KELLY, GIFFORDS’ HUSBAND
Yet doctors, her astronaut husband Mark Kelly and experts who have been observing Giffords’ recovery emphasize that going home is a key milestone and could help stimulate her progress. “Anyone who knows Gabby knows that she loves being outside,” Kelly said in a statement re-

Congressman resigns over lewd online pictures Anthony Weiner, 46, took leave of absence, retreating to treatment facility after scandal broke last week Party pressured him to step down
U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner announced his resignation Thursday, done in by lewd photos he took of himself and sent to women online, and then lying about them after being caught. Party leaders have been pressing him to resign so that Democrats could resume positioning themselves for the 2012 election campaign without constant criticism from Republicans on moral grounds. “I make this apology to my neighbours and my constituents, but I make it particularly to my wife,” he said, reading from a brief statement in Brooklyn.
“I’m here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused.” ANTHONY WEINER
U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner announces his resignation from Congress in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Thursday.
Weiner’s wife was absent as he announced his decision, as she was 10 days ago when he admitted having sent inappropriate messages and photos to several women online.
The crowd on Thursday included hecklers and radio shock jocks, vying for attention at what became a New York media event. Weiner said he had hoped to remain in Con-
gress but conceded his predicament had made that impossible. Instead, he said he would resign “so my colleagues can get back to work, my neighbours can choose a new representative and ... that my wife and I can continue to heal from the damage I have caused.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sect leader’s daughter says sorry A polygamist sect leader’s daughter expressed remorse as she pleaded guilty Thursday to a charge relating to the shotgun killings of an eight-yearold girl and three sect members who had left the church. Jacqueline LeBaron was a fugitive for nearly 20 years. She had faced murder and other charges and now
faces up to five years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to obstruct religious beliefs as part of an agreement. LeBaron, the daughter of Utah polygamist Ervil LeBaron, has been held without bond since she was extradited last year from Honduras. “I’m very sorry this happened,� LeBaron told a Houston judge.

Ministry of Education applauds sex study The press secretary to Ontario Education Minister Leona Dombrowsky said the research is welcome. “We agree that it is im-
portant for students to have accurate and relevant information,” Mike Feenstra wrote in an email. “Health information contained in the curriculum must also be deliv-
ered in a clear and accessible way to students and that’s why we offer many resources to help teachers deliver this important information.” THE CANADIAN PRESS
“It’s funny because we have exams for math and we have exams for science, but we don’t really have an evaluation process for our sexual education programs.”

Study involved 200 teens who had completed their secondary school sexual education requirements JACQUES BOISSINOT/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Almost 40 per cent of teens who answered a questionnaire about their sexual knowledge said the Internet is more useful than parents in providing this kind of information. And almost one-quarter of respondents rated the Internet higher than their high school sexual education classes. About 60 per cent couldn’t identify Canada’s age of sexual consent, which is 16, and almost 40 per cent over-estimated how effective male condoms are when they’re used as a sole method of birth control. The results were unveiled Thursday at the annual meeting of the Canadian Paediatric Society in Quebec City.

A new survey is countering views that social networks isolate people. According to the study from the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project, Facebook users are more trusting, have more close friends and get more social support than their non-networked counterparts. The survey released Thursday found that,
when all else is equal, people who use Facebook have nine per cent more close ties in their overall social network than other Internet users. Facebook users are also more politically engaged than people who are not on Facebook, says the survey, conducted among 2,255 adults from Oct. 20 to Nov. 28, 2010. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nortel’s patent auction bumped Nortel Networks Corp. has delayed the auction for its patents until June 27 due to a “significant level of interest” from potential bidders. The auction, a packaged deal that includes Nortel’s prized wireless
patents, is expected to generate a flurry of interest from international technology companies. Google Inc. has already offered $900 million US, while it is anticipated that others, such as Apple Inc., Intel and Research In Motion, may bid. Nortel’s remaining patents include advanced wireless network technology for Long-Term Evolution networks. They are able to handle lots of data for TV watching, music listening and video streaming.

Dollar down amid Greek debt The Canadian dollar closed lower Thursday, dropping closer to parity with the U.S. dollar for a second day as traders sought a safe haven in the greenback amid fears that Greece could default on its debt. The loonie was down 0.44 of a cent at 101.71 cents US, after going as low as 101.03 cents earlier Thursday.
Investors are deeply worried that a default in Greece could hurt banks elsewhere and set off a catastrophic financial chain reaction. “Markets are jittery because the risk of contagion spreading to other euro-zone countries and banks is a key concern,” said Rahim Madhavji of Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange.

Assistance cheques will be delivered Regular mail delivery could resume next week with back-to-work legislation Union accuses Canada Post of inciting government action ANDREW VAUGHAN/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Some two-million Canadians will find social assistance cheques in their mailboxes on Monday despite the ongoing dispute between Canada Post and its locked-out employees that has left regular mail delivery in limbo. The Crown corporation said Thursday — a day after it locked out workers and suspended urban mail delivery across the country -— that the cheques will be delivered as scheduled on Monday under an agreement with the postal workers’ union. “Delivering during a work disruption is a huge challenge, but Canada Post is committed to delivering these important cheques to the Canadians who count on receiving them,” it said. Included are CPP, Old Age Security, Veterans’ Affairs and Canada Tax Benefit cheques. Quebec’s Child

Bombardier plant loses London contract Bombardier’s rail facility in Derby was dealt a heavy blow Thursday after the British government selected German rival Siemens for a London rail contract. It is the second contract loss for the manufacturing plant in more than two years.
“We are disappointed not to have been selected as the preferred bidder, but it’s not over yet,” said Marc Laforge, a Bombardier spokesman. The consortium led by Bombardier remains the reserve bidder to step in if the contract with Siemens
can’t be finalized by year’s end. The Derby plant, which employs 3,000 people, is currently producing subway cars for London’s Underground system, trains for National Express East Anglia and turbostars for Chiltern and London Mid-
land. But those contracts are slated to come to a close by the end of next year. Bombardier declined to indicate the size of the lost contract. But reports suggest it ranged between $2.2 billion and $4.76 billion. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Some 3,800 Air Canada customer-service and other staff walked off the job Tuesday. Lewenza said the union agreed to send the pension issue to an arbitrator in order to minimize the strain on the striking workers. “For us to prolong the strike as a result of future (hires) would absolutely make no sense at this time,
but it will give us an opportunity in future years to bargain on behalf of those new hires,” Lewenza said. He said there would be “very slight modifications” to the current pension plan, which would become effective in 2013. Details will not be released until after a ratification vote. The tentative four-year settlement came less than an hour after Ottawa tabled legislation that would have forced the workers back on the job. THE CANADIAN PRESS

High-flying loonie could see auto profits plummet VINCE TALOTTA/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
The strong loonie is driving up the cost of Canadian employees, which could put pressure on auto-parts and vehicle makers to send more jobs to the U.S. and Mexico where labour costs are lower, an independent think-tank says. The Conference Board of Canada predicts a continued recovery in the auto industry on the back of soaring demand for vehicles in the U.S., providing substantial opportunity for the Canadian sector. But that growth potential will
not necessarily benefit Canadian workers in the auto-parts and vehicle-assembly sectors, the board warns. A high loonie adds to labour costs in Canada relative to developing countries and makes Canadian exports less cost-competitive, which is prompting auto companies to look south when they make decisions about where to set up new plants, the board said. “Furthermore, wages of Canadian auto workers are at risk of moving out of

The auto industry and its offshoots, key components of Canada’s economy, have enjoyed a swift turnaround since last year after struggling to maintain profits during the economic downturn of 2008-09. But the board says autoparts makers Magna International, MartinRea and Linamar could be forced to lower prices to compete with foreign manufacturers. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Canadian autoassembly industry is forecast to post profits of nearly $1 billion this year, up $114 million from last year.

RIM eyes job cuts
Consumers turning to iPhone, Android instead of BlackBerry Product rollout delays harm profits Research In Motion, under pressure from Apple and Android smartphones, says it plans to cut jobs as it works to roll out a new generation of products to stay competitive. “The reduction of our head count is an incredibly difficult decision,” coCEO Jim Balsillie told analysts Thursday. But Balsillie said RIM won’t make cuts in areas that it considers crucial to growth. He didn’t say how many jobs would be cut. Balsillie said RIM sold fewer phones in the U.S. due to its aging product line. RIM expects to deliver smartphones with upgraded operating systems in late August and September. Analyst Anil Doradla said the jobs cuts are a result of “poor execution” at the top.

The iconic image: Couple kissing during riots. It was an absolutely horrible WednesNEIL MORTON day night in Vancouver. The METRO Canucks lost Game 7 to Boston and then the riots broke out downtown. But the ray of sunshine was an image snapped by a photographer of a couple lying on a tear-gas filled street making out, with riot police in the foreand background. It’s gone viral, and now the whole world is wondering who this mystery couple is. Dirk. The lone superstar of the Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki, outplays the superstar trio of LeBron James/Dwyane Wade/Chris Bosh to lead the Mavs to their first NBA title. A dynasty does not begin in Miami. Dirk, meanwhile ... well, he is now recognizable by one name (take that LeBron), and will go down as one of the Top 20 players of all time. (Oh, and there was no rioting in Miami.) Can I be your friend? A man decides to test the etiquette of Twitter and Facebook in the real world by approaching strangers with lines like, “Can I be your friend?” and “Can I write on your wall?” and “Could I poke you?”and “I’m going to follow you.” The video he makes is hilarious and has more than 700,000 views on YouTube. Alice’s Bucket List. A 15-year-old girl with terminal cancer has become an inspiration to the whole world. She has started a blog, Alice’s Bucket List, which lists the many things she still wants to do with her time on Earth. Some tangible, some a dream. Such as: “To make everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor, to swim with sharks, to go to Kenya (I can’t travel there now but I wanted to).” As she says on her blog, “You only have one life ... live it!” So true. A book on Charlie Sheen? Denise Richards is writing a tell-all memoir about her marriage — and nasty divorce — to Charlie Sheen to be released late July. And then she will likely go on a tour. But here’s hoping it’s nothing like her ex’s Violent Torpedo of Truth tour disaster. Air Canada strike over! The feds announced back-to-work legislation, and soon after Air Canada and the Canadian Auto Workers union reached a tentative deal. And across Canada, striking customer-service agents at airports were screaming with delight. The flying public is about to get its best customer service ever with the good mood these agents are in. Reality TV gets real. Many thought Gene Simmons and longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed were just putting us on when they went on the Today Show Monday and talked about the disintegration of their relationship. But it wasn’t just a ratings ploy to get us to watch the season premiere of Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Their relationship is, in fact, coming apart due to his philandering, and watching that episode was one of the more painful, awkward episodes of reality TV ever. Period.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth mentioning LOS ANGELES.
Astronomers think they have solved the mystery of an extraordinary flash spied in a faraway galaxy, saying it came from a massive black hole that devoured a star after it wandered too close. Some scientists initially thought the bright flash was a gamma-ray burst from a star collapsing, but flaring from such an event typically lasts only a few hours. Instead of fading, the cosmic outburst continued to burn bright and emit high-energy radiation months later. Two separate teams pored through data and concluded that an unsuspecting star the size of our sun likely got sucked in by the powerful tug of a giant black hole much like a fly that can’t escape a frog resting on a lily pad. As the black hole gobbled up the star, it streamed a beam of energy straight at Earth that was recorded by telescopes. The stellar feast occurred in the heart of a galaxy 3.8 billion light years from Earth. A light year is about 9.66 trillion kilometres.
WEIRD NEWS
Fashion you can sink your teeth into Lady Gaga made history at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards when she turned butcher’s cuts into high fashion. On Thursday, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was prepared to unveil the singer’s infamous raw-meat dress to the public. The dress — made of layers of Argentinian beef — was kept in a meat locker, placed in a vat of chemi-
cals and then dried out by taxidermists in California before being transported to the museum. Hall of Fame spokeswoman Margaret Thresher said the dress took on a “dark, beefjerky” look while dehydrating, so it was painted to look “fresh” afterwards. The entire process took several months to complete. The dress is being displayed as part of the Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power exhibit, which runs until February 2012. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Plot synopsis
2
Loosely based on the classic 1938 children’s book, the movie sees Jim Carrey playing the title character, a ruthless NYC real estate agent who becomes closer to his estranged family when he inherits a penguin from his late father. Through a series of misunderstandings one penguin becomes six. As the penguins take over his life, Popper’s formerly flightless personal life starts to soar.

Lots to like in Penguins Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin agree Mr. Popper’s Penguins is a surprise hit Will appeal to the kids, with enough story to keep adults interested Richard Crouse: Mark, Jim Carrey is back acting opposite wildlife, but unlike the Ace Ventura movies, this time he’s not talking out of his bum, or doing anything that parents may take issue with. Mr. Popper’s Penguins is total family entertainment, paced for young ones but with enough story to keep older kids and parents interested. I dreaded this one but actually ended up enjoying it. Mark Breslin: Me too, Richard. I’m not a big fan of Jim Carrey movies, but this time the comedian keeps his cartoony instincts in check and brings an easy naturalness to the

role. The penguins make great foils for Carrey as they are the comedians of the animal world. With their tuxedo pelts, paunches and big noses they look like standup comics from the ’50s. RC: Ha! They do provide most of the laughs in the film, but I’m not sure I would classify this as a comedy. Carrey has a few funny moments, the penguins — who could be more rightly called Mr. Popper’s Pooping Penguins — engage in some animal antics, and Popper’s “p” popping personal assistant takes alliteration to new heights, but the movie is more about heart than humour.

MB: Maybe that’s why I liked it so much: Carrey wasn’t working so hard to be “on” all the time. I also appreciated the New York setting, though I found it bizarre that Popper was trying to raze, then save Tavern On The Green when it was just closed and slated for demolition last year. I guess the penguins aren’t the only fantasy elements in the film! RC: It is a fantasy film with a nice even tone for families, but I’m curious what sort of movie it might have been if the original director Noah Baumbach had been behind the camera. He’s best known for making edgy family dramas

like Squid and the Whale. Mr. Popper’s Penguins might have been more interesting to mom and dad if he had directed, but as it is it will appeal to kids, particularly if they’ve read the book. MB: I love Baumbach, but I can only imagine his direction would have led to The Squid, the Whale and the Penguins, about a dysfunctional family with lots of flipper wringing. No, the movie ain’t broke, so let’s not fix it. You’re right, it’s a great family picture, but also — dare I say this — a good date movie. I may not know much about life, Richard, but I do know this: chicks dig penguins!

Larry The Cable Guy lends his voice to rusty tow truck Mater in Pixar’s Cars 2 Comedian brings his own brand of humour to the animated character PHIL BROWN
SCENE @METRONEWS.CA
Love him or loath him, there’s no denying that Larry The Cable Guy is arguably the most successful comedian today. The man responsible for countless “get er’ done” T-shirts and trucker hats created a brand of comedy that attracts vast audiences. His appeal even extends to children, thanks to lending his voice to Mater in Pixar’s Cars. The character was so popular that he got a DVD spinoff, Mater’s Tall Tales, and is now the main character in Cars 2.
“I had a feeling that if they made a Cars 2 that Mater would have a larger role because he was so prevalent in that first one,” Larry told Metro. “He provided the humour, he provided the heart, he provided the… well, Mater provided pretty much everything.” Mater the rusted tow truck is basically Larry The Cable Guy
on wheels, and while the comedian doesn’t write the Cars screenplays, he is responsible for most of his lines. “[Cars 2 director] John Lasseter basically said to me, ‘Look, you’re the character. You do him better than anyone because you are Mater,’” said Larry. “If I want to change a line I can and I do. John gives me a lot of leeway, which makes for a great recording session.”

ter Sarsgaard’s transformation from nerdy Hector to nerdy Hector-with-a-hugehead provides some fun Jekyll and Hyde moments, but the film is bogged down by an overreliance on CGI. Because everyone knows anything is possible when you bang together the right bits of binary code, computer-generated action no longer “wows” audiences. So why does director Martin Campbell paint every frame with computer images? Even Jordan’s silly little green mask is computer-generated. Was the costumer off the day he needed to don the disguise? The Green Lantern isn’t a bad superhero movie, but it doesn’t hold a lantern to some of the seriously good ones we’ve seen lately like The Dark Knight or Iron Man. RICHARD CROUSE
tion. He loves a girl, but can’t tell her. First-time director Gavin Wiesen creates a pretty funny and insightful look at adolescent indifference. Unfortunately, there’s a lack of dramatic thrust built into the subject matter. It’s hard to care about a character who has no desire to move forward in life. It’s inevitable that a movie about disinterested characters is on a slow train to nowhere. PHIL BROWN

Diaz: Bad Teacher is ‘genius’ Movie makes no apologies for bad behaviour
Diaz doesn’t hold back in her latest role, and it pays off SUBMITTED
NED EHRBAR
SCENE @METRONEWS.CA
Considering how Cameron Diaz’s character behaves in Bad Teacher, the title is something of an understatement. She smokes pot in the school parking lot. She assaults students for getting questions wrong. She accepts “tutoring money” from parents in exchange for A’s for their children. Her sole motivation is earning enough money for a boob job so she can snag a rich husband. The character is crass, deceitful and usually hungover — in other words, far from glamorous or sympathetic. But that’s exactly what Diaz liked about her. “There was absolutely not one ounce of energy spent trying to make anything about this character likeable. It was genius,” says Diaz. “Usually, you spend the last 20 minutes of the movie trying to apologize for the first hour and a half of it because people are afraid of just owning what it is.” Diaz, who has done arguably her best work in comedies with some bite to them, doesn’t hold back
“There was not one ounce of energy spent trying to make anything about this character likeable.” CAMERON DIAZ

in her latest role, and it pays off. But given the material, she couldn’t really pull any punches. “Thirty pages into the script, I was like, ‘There’s no way I’m playing this
character. How could I ever redeem her? There’s no redemption for her, this is a horrible person,’” she remembers. “Then 10 pages later I was like, ‘I think I like her.’ And by
the end I was like, ‘This is amazing because I don’t have to apologize.’” Of course, even in a cavalcade of bad behaviour like Bad Teacher, there are some situations Diaz and director Jake Kasdan thought would be going too far, like featuring a teacher-student romance. “The one thing that Elizabeth doesn’t do — one line she doesn’t cross — is taking on a seventh grader,” Diaz says. “That’s the one thing she doesn’t do, thankfully. I don’t think I would be down with that. That would be a different movie, clearly.” Not that it would probably matter to MPAA, the organization that doles out ratings for American films — and a group Diaz isn’t too thrilled about. (Bad Teacher, with its rampant drug use, foul language and sexual content, unsurprisingly earned an R-rating.)
“It’s arbitrary, honestly, the rating system,” Diaz says. “Who’s to judge what is R-rated or not? It’s all relative, right? It’s just to whom is watching it, if it’s something inappropriate or not. So I say, get rid of the ratings, man!” Feeling awkward on her soapbox, Diaz bursts out laughing. But still, there’s some
truth to her rant, she says, especially when something like Bad Teacher is compared to “video games where they all get to slash each other and cut each other’s heads off,” she says. “Or even just Viagra commercials in the middle of the Super Bowl. I mean, that to me I take more offence to.”

Since its inception, the MuchMusic Video Awards have always had the feel of a star-studded street party. Behind the scenes though, a lot of planning goes into choreographing the chaos on Queen Street. “It’s one of those shows where anything could happen,” says Neil Staite, MuchMusic’s director of op-
erations. “You’re not only building for what you want the show to be, but what could happen. And sometimes those are two very different things.” Key to the spontaneous appeal of the MMVAs every year are the fans who flock to the corner of Queen and John to catch a glimpse of their favourite artists. The energy they generate rubs off on the performers and presenters, says Staite. Of course the crowds can

Every person appearing on the program gets a wrangler who rehearses from Friday on every possible route and detour to get that artist where they need to be on time.

If it’s liquid, I love it. So, I’m sure my father doesn’t mind this Father’s Day that while I inherited his appreciation for a fine pint of beer, I also spread my love around the wine and spirit world, too. That said, beer does hold a special place in my heart. It was the first taste of booze I ever had thanks to my grandfather. (No emails folks. I spit it out much to the enjoyment of dear old Da). Times have changed. Small North American cottage breweries are red hot for reinventing old school British ales and light beer is on guys’ radar because we, too, watch calories. Though the flavour profile of lighter beers varies dramatically, the addition of a citrus element really levels the drinking field. Molson Canadian 67 Sublime (12 x 341 ml, $18.12 - $22.99) has a surprisingly robust lemon/lime appeal that adds volumes to what is a pretty subtle beer. Meanwhile, the 100 calorie Miller Chill Lemon (12 x 355 ml, $21.50 $23.99) pumps up the volume of refreshing malt. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS CANADA. SOME

What went wrong for Canucks? Plenty of questions swirl around the Vancouver Canucks following a season where they looked like a team with all the answers to win the Stanley Cup. A 4-0 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 Wednesday night ended the Canucks’ dream of winning their first NHL championship in franchise history. A team that won the Presidents’ Trophy for the best record in the league came up one victory short of being a champion. Mike Gillis, the Canucks’ general manager, now has to figure out why a club that did so much right during the regular season, and most of the playoffs, suddenly had a lot go wrong in the final. Why did a Vancouver team that led the league in scoring manage just eight goals in seven games against the Bruins? And get shut out twice? Where were the Sedins? And the question that will burn up radio talk shows for the summer, what happened to Roberto Luongo? How could a goaltender who was solid as a rock some nights shatter like glass in three games in Boston and give up at least two questionable goals on the night his team needed him most? Coach Alain Vigneault wasn’t rushing to give answers. “I’m not going to analyze this game right now,” he said after the loss. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Zach Stewart pitches Thursday against Baltimore.
Zach’s on track Right-hander Stewart solid in first game since call-up from double-A Two ninth-inning runs lift Orioles to 4-3 victory over Blue Jays Toronto Blue Jays righthander Zach Stewart was impressive in his major league debut. The only thing missing was a win. That went to the Baltimore Orioles, who scored two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Blue Jays 4-3 Thursday afternoon to salvage the finale of the three-game series. Former Blue Jays reliever Kevin Gregg picked up his 13th save despite giving up Adam Lind’s 14th homer of the season to

lead off the bottom of the ninth. Stewart allowed seven hits and two runs — including a solo shot from J.J. Hardy — over seven innings. “Obviously, I wanted it
to be a good outing and so in that sense it was,” said Stewart, who had his parents in attendance from Texas and his wife’s family from Atlanta. Stewart, 24, was called up from double-A New Hampshire this week after rookie right-hander Kyle Drabek was demoted to triple-A Las Vegas. “He was outstanding,” Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. “He didn’t fear contact, he got ahead in the count and used his
fastball and slider to disrupt some timing on some first pitches. Quick innings early on. That certainly relaxed him and he settled into a very nice rhythm.” His last inning, the seventh, might have been his most impressive from the standpoint of composure. He hit Mark Reynolds with a pitch, then got a doubleplay grounder from Ryan Adams followed by a strikeout to end the inning. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Bruins bring cup to Boston The Stanley Cup glistened in the morning sun, the nearly 35-pound symbol of NHL supremacy raised high over the head of 255-pound Zdeno Chara. Then, the captain of the champion Boston Bruins lowered it to his knees. He patiently answered reporters’ questions after a night of little sleep and much joy on a flight across North America — from the disappointed city of Vancouver to the title town of Boston. For the six-foot-nine defenceman and his teammates, the heavy lifting was over. The celebration was on. “We are pretty OK with that weight,” Chara said Thursday, the cup in his grasp as it was when he hoisted it after the Bruins’ 4-0 win in Game 7 over the Canucks less than 12 hours earlier. He walked over to some of the roughly 500 fans who had gathered outside TD Garden, where the Bruins outscored the Canucks 17-3 during the final. He let some of them touch the coveted trophy that hadn’t been in Bruins hands in 39 years. “It’s unbelievable. It’s very exciting for the whole city, for us, for the whole organization. It’s a very special day,” said Chara, who hadn’t won a cup in 12 previous NHL seasons. “We’re very honoured to be here. We’re so happy.” They won with Brad Marchand, a rookie pest, and Patrice Bergeron, who missed most of the 2007-08 season with a concussion. Each had two goals in the clincher. “We went out there on a mission, came back champions,” said Marchand. “We proved we were the best team in the world.” There will be many more fans lining the streets at the parade Saturday, the city’s seventh in the past decade following championship celebrations for the Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics.

Cup winners should be able to keep team intact The Boston Bruins should have an easier time repeating than the last team to win the Stanley Cup. Unlike the Chicago Blackhawks of a year ago, the Bruins are well-positioned under the salary cap to bring back virtually the same squad that ended a long championship drought. In fact, only four players that suited up for Wednesday’s Game 7 victory over the Vancouver Canucks are headed for free agency and one of
them, 43-year-old forward Mark Recchi, is retiring. No wonder some members of the team took a break between sips of champagne to look ahead. “The future looks bright with all the guys that we have,” said Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron, who had two goals in the deciding game. If anything, general manager Peter Chiarelli might be looking to add a few pieces. He has $52.2 million US committed to 18 players next season — leaving him roughly $10 million to spend with the cap expected to be set around $62 million. He’ll also likely get back the $4 million in cap space dedicated to forward Marc Savard, who is expected to retire because of ongoing
concussion symptoms. Chiarelli’s biggest decision will be determining the fate of defenceman Tomas Kaberle, who failed to provide the power-play boost the Bruins were looking for when they acquired him from Toronto midway through the year. The veteran earned $4.25 million this season and is an unrestricted free agent. Forward Michael Ryder is also eligible to become unrestricted on July 1 after earning $4 million. The only other Bruins regular in need of a contract is Brad Marchand, who earned himself extra money with 11 goals in the playoffs including two in Game 7 of the final. He is a restricted free agent who averaged a little over $821,000 on his entry-level deal. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Let’s kick off the 2011 CFL campaign with seven questions that should get answered between the season openers on Canada Day weekend and the time the Grey Cup is hoisted Nov. 27 in Vancouver. Needing 4,200 yards to overtake Damon Allen as the CFL’s career passing yards leader, Anthony Calvillo still can’t get his name on many lists of the CFL’s alltime greatest quarterbacks. Critics argue Calvillo lacks arm strength and mobility, both valid claims, and that his career stats are the product of longevity instead of talent. Yet late this season, A.C. should eclipse Allen’s passing mark, a staggering stat north of 72,000 yards, while challenging for a third-consecutive Grey Cup ring. Will it finally be enough to help Calvillo receive the respect he deserves?
1
Greg Marshall has waited a lifetime to earn his first headcoaching job, taking over from Ken Miller as Saskatchewan’s boss. Countless times Marshall has been a bridesmaid when CFL teams were courting head coaches, despite earning respect as one of the league’s top defensive gurus. Marshall deserves this opportunity, but when a candidate gets passed over that many times, you have to wonder: Do other teams know something the Riders don’t?
2
The Calgary Stampeders have been a perennial Grey Cup contender since QB Henry Burris arrived in 2005. But with just one championship ring in six seasons and after two straight West final losses, is time running out for the 36-year-old Burris and his talented group to claim another?
3
B.C. Lions boss Wally Buono believes in QB Travis Lulay so deeply he’s given the young pivot the starting role in Vancouver. Will the green Montana slinger develop into a quarterback the likes of Dave Dickenson or Jeff Garcia, two other top passers Buono helped groom?
4
5
The Edmonton Eskimos aren’t used to losing and have handed the controls to GM Eric Tillman, who’ll guide an intense rebuilding program. With a new coaching staff, can Tillman quickly produce the winning results green and gold fans demand?
6
For the second consecutive season, the Toronto Argos are destined to enter the season without a legitimate starting quarterback. The three main contenders — Cleo Lemon, a failure last season, along with backups Steven Jyles and Dalton Bell — hardly strike fear in the hearts of opponents. Who’s going to help the Argos find the end zone?
7
Winnipeg’s 4-14 record last season hardly suggests the team is on the verge of a Grey Cup appearance, but nine of those losses were by four points or less. Can Winnipeg turn those close losses into victories in 2011 and earn a playoff spot?
