Tackling transit troublemakers Penalties for 30 transit bylaws proposed to increase to $250 If approved, new charges would come into effect Aug. 1 Enforcement must be better to ‘make this work’: Coun. Tony Caterina Putting your feet up on transit could soon leave you with a fine of $250.

Edmonton Transit has proposed hiking most fines from $50 to $250 for infractions such as

littering, swearing and putting feet on seats.

Ron Gabruck, director of safety and security, said the fines haven’t been adjusted since 1998 and are among the lowest in

Canada.

But the main justification is the less than $30 difference between the price of an adult monthly pass ($84.64) and fine for fare evasion ($110), also pro-

posed to increase to $250.

“People may choose not to pay, and after two months, even if they did get a ticket, they’d be further ahead,” said Gabruck.

Fare evasions cost the city mil-

Man gets 12 years for shooting through floor An Edmonton man has been found guilty of manslaughter for shooting through the floor of a townhouse and killing someone in the suite below.

Jason Seruhungo admitted during his trial that he shot the bullet that killed Edward Wilson in October 2009. He testified that he was arguing with a woman and her boyfriend from the townhouse and he pulled out his gun because he felt threatened.

Seruhungo, who is 22, later turned himself in to police. He was sentenced to 12 years, but was given credit for time served.

Officers to be investigated over arrest Edmonton police say there will likely be a criminal investigation of two officers after a judge found that a man was seriously assaulted during an arrest.

Edmonton police constables Nadine Comeau and Darin Goldenberg were on downtown patrol March 11, 2010, when they pulled over suspended driver Anthony Maskell.

In a written decision, Judge Donna Groves notes Maskell was handcuffed and his head was smashed into his car. Groves convicted Maskell of driving while disqualified, but tossed out an impaired driving charge citing the beating he took.

Trash talk may be good for city’s image New research and biofuels hub set to make a name for Edmonton in waste recovery Green energy is the goal SHELLEY WILLIAMSON

@METRONEWS.CA

One man’s trash may be another’s treasure, but a new sophisticated facility takes the adage a step further to make Edmonton’s waste another’s biofuel.

The city revealed its $12.5-million Advanced Energy Research Centre Thursday, which the mayor hopes will help Edmonton sell its waste management

skills globally.

“These kinds of visions, they aren’t cheap but they are correct,” said Mayor Stephen Mandel.

Funding for the wasteto-fuel facility comes from Alberta Innovates — Energy and Environment Solutions (AI-EES) and the city, with Dr. Esteben Chornet of the company Enerkem leading research.

“Edmonton is a pioneer in waste management and this research centre helps

us enter the next phase of our strategy, which is to recover value from waste that can’t be recycled or composted,” said Mandel.

It’s part of a goal to divert 90 per cent of city waste from its landfills.

“Ten years ago this was a dream,” said Greg Weadick, Alberta’s minister of advanced education and technology. “Alberta may be known for our oil and gas, but projects like this one prove we are leaders in

Waste investing Funding comes from AIEES ($29 million), Alberta Energy ($3.35 million), and $43.5 million from the City of Edmonton.

The facility falls under a $132.5-million largerscope project that also includes a municipal waste processing facility built by the city, and a commercial waste-to-biofuels facility being built by Enerkem.

INQUIRY

Doc knew woman had fled before An Alberta doctor who treated a hospital patient found frozen to death said he gave the OK for her to go outside for a smoke, even though he knew she had run away from another hospital just days earlier.

Lorraine Adolph, who suffered from schizophrenia, vanished from the geriatric unit of Alberta Hospital on Dec. 4, 2008, after she went outside to have a cigarette.

An officer conducting a followup search found her frozen body on the hospital grounds a week later, just 800 metres from where she was last seen.

Dr. Robert Granger testified at an inquiry into Adolph’s death that he was aware she fled a hospital in Stony Plain and that she was suffering from hallucinations and delusions, but didn’t feel there was any risk of her

running away.

The court also heard a voice mail the doctor left for the woman’s family after she couldn’t be found, in which he said Adolph had been gone an hour and he had learned his lesson.

But Granger testified today that he did not recall leaving the message.

On Wednesday, Const.

Ryan Busby testified police had canvassed nearby businesses after hospital staff told him “they were confident that they searched the building.”

Security guards say an immediate search of the grounds was done in a vehicle, but with two other patients missing that day, a foot search was not conducted until 9:15 p.m. —nine hours after Adolph went missing.

And while one security guard did go near the building where the woman’s body was found, no one searched around it because guards said the snow was too deep.

Adolph had just been admitted to the hospital two days before she went missing. THE CANADIAN PRESS

City relaxes its daycare guidelines Edmonton has about 35,000 spaces, at about 80 per cent capacity Re-wording of bylaw paves way for more operators to set up shop SHELLEY WILLIAMSON/METRO

SHELLEY WILLIAMSON

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

The city is tackling the shortage of daycare options for working parents by letting up on rules surrounding outdoor kids’ play spaces.

The move could mean relief for frustrated parents on the hunt for a safe place for children as they work by allowing new, much-needed facilities to open.

New mom Julie Harvey thinks the relaxed rules come just at the right time.

Still on maternity leave for her son Aiden, Harvey is discouraged by the slim options for daycare.

“It’s been difficult. It’s already June,” said Harvey, who combs Kijiji ads daily, and has asked everyone she knows about child care for when she returns to work in the fall.

“They are all either too full, too far away or don’t take children under two,” she explained.

This week, the city amended its outdoor space requirements to be closer to provincial guidelines for child-care service providers.

Harvey said she is relieved that might bring more choice for someone

Daycare providers may have an easier time opening businesses in the city with expectations eased for adjoining outdoor spaces after a bylaw revision.

to care for Aiden.

Gillian Richards knows all too well how few spots there are available.

“I tell people they should get their name on a wait list when they are still pregnant,” said Richards, executive director of the near-capacity Canada Place Child Care Society.

METRO

Child’s play Amendments to the bylaw include allowing child-care facilities to operate without their own outdoor space attached, provided city parks and schools are within walking distance.

Other new rules include requiring new daycares to have two drop-off spots in-

stead of one, and day homes having one parking space per non-resident employee.

Regulations apply to day homes, daycare centres, out-of-school care centres, preschools and other childcare operations licensed by the province that give care to seven or more children under 13 years of age.

‘This brings great awareness’ KATRINE SORENSEN/FOR METRO

Local supermarket manager sleeps in tent on top of store for week for Edmonton Food Bank KATRINE SORENSEN

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

The manager of a Save-OnFoods in south Edmonton has camped out on the roof of his store the past week to raise awareness for the Edmonton Food Bank.

The food bank has always held special meaning for Magrath store manager Tony Klyne.

Klyne is following in the footsteps of his father, who used to run a food bank in Campbell River, B.C. “It’s always going to be a big thing for me, helping the food banks,” Klyne said.

He said spending so much time alone is the biggest downside to his campout.

Debbie Theuss with the Edmonton Food Bank said

For those in need The campout is part of a national food bank campaign held in collaboration with Campbell’s and Save-OnFoods.

The Magrath Save-OnFoods aims to raise $30,000 for the Edmonton Food Bank from the campout.

The Edmonton Food Bank hands out 3.5-million kilograms of food each year.

the campaign falls during a lull in donations.

“This brings great awareness because I think people aren’t aware that our need is all-year round,” she said.

Firefighters are hoisting Klyne down from the roof at 2 p.m. Friday.

Store manager Tony Klyne is looking forward to coming down from the roof of his store Friday. He has lived there in a tent for the past week to raise money for Edmonton Food Bank.

City fighting back against pesky summer mosquitoes HEATHER MCINTYRE/METRO

Recent wet weather has fostered breeding grounds for mosquitoes, but the city is biting back.

Mike Jenkins, with the pest management branch, said the hatching larvae are being closely monitored and a second cycle of spraying has already begun.

“I’d have to say in comparison to other years, it’s

definitely going to be worse,” Jenkins said Thursday.

There have already been 1,600 mosquitoes caught in light traps this year, exceeding the number caught during all of 2008 — the lowest year on record.

Jenkins said dry summers over the past few years have meant fewer

mosquitoes, and that the 2011 numbers thus far are actually on par with the 30year average.

Jenkins said the mosquitoes hatching right now “make up 99.9 per cent of the typical mosquitoes” for our city, and will be on the hunt mostly at dusk and dawn.

The city spends about $2

Female neurosurgery grad paving the way

Hawrelak. Park

First woman to graduate from 50-year-old U of A program Not scared off by male-dominated profession CONTRIBUTED

KATRINE SORENSEN

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

After 16 years in university, Jenny Souster is finally graduating this summer.

Souster, 33, is the first woman to graduate from the University of Alberta’s neurosurgery program in its 50-year history.

She says her patients and co-workers have kept her going.

“It’s been tough,” Souster said. “There’s been years where you think: ‘Why did I choose this?’ and I’m sure all residents feel that way because they get tired and it’s a long haul.”

Her interest in the brain was piqued when she was earning a bachelor of science in Calgary, and soon she was on the track to become a surgeon.

“I’ve always liked working with my hands and been a hands-on sort of person, so I thought surgery would be what I’d be interested in,” Souster said.

Being a woman in a profession dominated by men has not scared Souster off.

She says growing up with four brothers has made it natural for her to

For sunny days, as well as rainy Slave Lake services Jenny Souster is the first woman to graduate from the neurosurgery program at the University of Alberta.

work with men.

Another woman is currently doing a neurosurgery residence at the university.

The neurosurgery program in Edmonton runs a neuro-intensive care unit as one of the only university hospitals in Canada, and Souster says dealing with death every day has been something she has had to

overcome.

“It can be very disheartening sometimes, but I just find that being there and being able to help families and patients is a reward,” Souster said.

Next week, Souster will be moving to Los Angeles to attend a fellowship and specialize further in orthopaedic neurosurgery.

An Alberta Works program office and employment centre is open (780-849-7290), as is Children and Youth Services (780-849-7220) in the former Fish and Wildlife building.

Tourism, Parks and Recreation can be accessed by calling 780-849-8240.

Sustainable Resource Development is working out of the Fire Centre building (780-849-7400) and Transportation is using the Vehicle Inspection Station.

Workers net new digs Longer-term temporary housing options are on the horizon for some workers who lost their homes in Slave Lake wildfires.

The province is investing $11 million of a $100million Alberta initiative to help rebuild the area, putting up police, firefighters, and other emergency and health-care personnel temporarily.

“These modest housing units are interim solutions to help these workers

while providing the needed public services,” said Housing Minister Jonathan Denis.

About 30 workers and families are in temporary residences, from rental suites to provincially owned addresses.

To help move others from hotels, the province has bought 100 manufactured homes, and the first few structures have arrived.

Edmontonians can head down to Beaver Hills House Park for live music and a selection of food from seven different street vendors.

Mack Male masterminded the idea after returning home from a trip to San Francisco, where this type of event is extremely popular.

“It’s a great opportunity to come out and see what Edmonton has to offer in terms of food trucks,” Male said. “The food truck oper-

This kind of event is usually made possible by working with the city, and is the type of thing that can help to revitalize the downtown core, said Male.

Also, the food is restaurant quality and there’s no need to adhere to the rules of dining out.

“I think it’s a unique thing — food trucks as the main event,” Male said.

The event runs from 4 to 8 p.m., and those wishing to attend can RSVP on the What The Truck? Facebook page.

Going back to nature John Janzen Nature Centre reopens after a year of renovations Interactive exhibits celebrate Edmonton’s rural and urban wildlife KATRINE SORENSON

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

Juanita Spence, program manager at John Janzen Nature Centre, shows off one of the new interactive exhibits.

The John Janzen Nature Centre reopens this weekend with a new interactive play area.

Visitors can kick off their shoes and crawl into a beaver lodge, wriggle through squirrel tunnels

and buzz in a giant beehive in a new discovery zone featuring larger-thanlife re-creations of animal dwellings.

Program manager Juanita Spence says the centre wanted to focus on familiar animals that live in the river valley.

“This is really what the nature centre is about —

celebrating Edmonton’s wildlife and urban wildlife here,” she said.

Test groups that have been through the centre have provided positive feedback, Spence said.

“So far, we’ve had lots of kids representing all ages and all of them love it.”

The centre, at White-

mud and Fox drives, has been closed for renovations since May of last year.

At the grand reopening on Saturday, activities will include paper-making, nature walks and composting demonstrations.

Events run from 11 a.m to 4 p.m.

Admission is free on Saturday and Sunday.

Topping the list: Better dietary guidelines to help parents and caregivers know just how much toddlers should eat as they transition from baby food to bigger-kid fare.

Contrary to popular belief, children don’t usually outgrow their baby fat — and that can lead to lasting bad effects on their health as they grow, suggests the report.

Healthy weight The new report is not about putting the very young on a diet. At the top of the report’s list: Daycare and preschool operators should be trained in proper physical activity for young children, providing at least 15 minutes of it per hour the child spends there.

Regulations should limit how long toddlers and preschoolers sit or stand still to a maximum 30 minutes — and limit holding babies in swings, bouncy seats or other equipment while they’re awake.

“It’s a huge opportunity to instil good habits at a time when you don’t have to change old ones,” said

Leann Birch, director of Pennsylvania State University’s Center for Childhood Obesity Research, who chaired the institute’s panel.

Consider: Babies drink milk until they’re full and then turn away. But children as young as two or three are sensitive to portion size.

“If you give them larger portions, they eat more,” Birch explained.

The report makes the case that children’s habits are influenced by far more than their parents — and thus it is time to expand obesity prevention to more of the other places youngsters spend time.

For example, nearly three-fourths of children ages two to five spend at least part of their day in some form of child care.

On her first visit to South Africa, U.S. first lady Michelle Obama yesterday met with former Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the country’s leader in the fight for racial equality.

T.O. mayor backs out of Pride

News in brief

IAN WILLMS//TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he will miss the city’s Pride Parade next weekend because he will be at the family cottage.

Ford says going to the Huntsville cottage on the Canada Day long weekend has been a tradition in his family for 30 years.

The mayor’s office says Ford will also not be attending the Pride flag-raising ceremony next week.

Francisco Alvarez, the co-chair of Pride Toronto,

calls the decision disappointing and regrettable.

Alvarez says Ford is missing an opportunity to score political points by showing his solidarity with the Pride community.

Former mayors David Miller, Mel Lastman and Barbara Hall all marched in the Pride parade, which attracts more than one million people and pumps millions of dollars into the Toronto economy.

An audit by the Toronto Police Service of the force’s actions during the G20 summit over June 26 and 27, 2010, was released yesterday with 10 recommendations. The report paints a picture of police resources being overwhelmed by the sudden vandalism and socalled Black Bloc protest techniques. Not enough riot police could respond, and some officers not properly trained in riot policing were forced to step in, the report says.

RCMP officers face charges in B.C. Charges including breach of trust and obstruction of justice were filed yesterday against four RCMP officers involved in the investigation of a 2007 gangland slaying that left six dead in a Surrey, B.C., highrise.

Special prosecutor Christopher Considine approved a total of 20 charges against officers Derek Brassington, David Attew, Paul Johnston and Danny Michaud. The offi-

cers were all involved in the investigation of the October 2007 murders, discovered after neighbours complained of a foul odour.

Police quickly concluded that two of the victims — 22-year-old Chris Mohan and 55-year-old Ed Schellenberg — were innocent bystanders who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death graphically depicted

Anti-Islam politician acquitted

Syrian expats. Rally

Illustrated book set for release Sept. 6, less than a week before 10th anniversary of 9-11 attacks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/IDW PRODUCTIONS)

The daring secret mission to get Osama bin Laden by elite U.S. forces will be told in the pages of a new graphic novel that aims to shed more light â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a bit of creative licence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the event.

Written by retired U.S. Marine Capt. Dale Dye and Julia Dye, the 88-page hardcover Code Word: Geronimo takes a look at the mission the authors said was aimed at keeping the focus on those who planned, conducted and executed the raid.

IDW, a San Diego-based publisher known for its line of comics that includes G.I. Joe and Star Trek, said the story of how bin Laden was killed would appeal to both

new and established readers.

Julia Dye called the work necessary for the nation, particularly having had to live â&#x20AC;&#x153;within the shadowâ&#x20AC;? of bin Laden for so long.

The story opens with a lone traveller on a dusty

road in Pakistan, a rattled pickup passing by. It quickly shifts back and forth to a U.S. compound in Afghanistan to the White House to the house where bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The book is drawn without gratuitous violence or gore, the artists said.

The members of SEAL Team 6 are not identified by their real names, but the equipment, planning and training that resulted in the May 1 raid are.

Dye drew on his experience in the Marines as well as contacts within the U.S. military to ensure accuracy, but not to the point of being too detailed.

Crackdown expands in Syria Syrian troops pushed to the Turkish border Thursday in their sweep against a three-month-old pro-democracy movement, sending panicked refugees, including children, rushing across the frontier to safe havens in Turkey.

The boundaries of free speech in Europe widened Thursday after a Dutch court acquitted politician Geert Wilders of inciting hatred against Muslims when he compared Islam with Nazism and called for a ban on the Qurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;an.

Political analysts say the ruling will likely embolden Wilders and other rightwing populists across the continent to ramp up their anti-immigrant rhetoric, with remarks like Wildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; call for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;head rag taxâ&#x20AC;? now squarely within the boundaries of fair political debate.

The ruling did lay down a clear limit: Calls for violence remain out of bounds.

Wilders, who has lived under constant police protection due to death threats since 2004, has never called for violence or endorsed it.

The arrest came as Georgia lawmakers were crafting what would become one of the nation’s toughest immigration crackdowns, and Guerrero feared her mother would be deported.

“I feel like that was my breaking point, when my mom was in jail,” said Guerrero, who came to the U.S. from Mexico when she was two.

The details of the troubled life of British teen Ryan Cleary, who has been charged with hacking into a British crime intelligence website, have begun to filter out.

The 19-year-old said to have been closeted in the bedroom of his mother’s home in Wickford, Essex, in southeast England, appeared in court yesterday.

Details revealed by his mother paint a picture of a seriously disturbed teen who was emotionally vulnerable and attempted suicide. By all accounts, he was the ultimate reclusive computer nerd, squirreled away in his room targeting the world’s computer networks for attack.

Cleary had a history of emotional and mental problems from an early

age, appearing completely fearless and unable to grasp the consequences of his actions, his mother told the Daily Mail. He has jumped into the path of traffic and started fires at his home.

He was first expelled from school when he was five for disruptive behaviour, said Rita Cleary, 45, who suffers from bi-polar disorder. He was enrolled in other schools with the same result.

He has been remanded and will remain in jail in England for the next few days. His lawyer says he plans to apply for bail after the interview process has concluded. Cleary is said to be co-operating with police.

The nation’s top military officer and its top diplomat made clear Thursday that President Barack Obama rejected the advice of his generals in choosing a quicker path to winding down the war in Afghanistan.

The Obama troop withdrawal plan drew criticism from both political sides on Capitol Hill. Some Republicans decried it as undercutting the military mission at

a critical stage of the war, while many Democrats called it too timid.

On Thursday, the president spoke at New York’s Fort Drum to troops and commanders of the Army’s 10th Mountain Division.

Obama said that he is not pulling home troops “precipitously” or risking the gain they’ve achieved.

“We’re going to do it in a steady way to make sure

that the gains that all of you helped to bring about are going to be sustained,” he said.

Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, said later that he, too, had recommended a more gradual withdrawal.

FBI captures mob boss

Notorious gangster was wanted for 19 brutal murders FBI criticized for protecting mob figures when using ‘Whitey’ and others as informants Boston mob boss James (Whitey) Bulger was captured near Los Angeles after 16 years on the run that embarrassed the FBI and exposed the bureau’s corrupt relationship with its underworld informants.

The FBI finally caught the 81-year-old Bulger on Wednesday at an apartment in Santa Monica, Calif., along with his girlfriend Catherine Greig, just

days after the government circulated pictures of her on daytime TV. The arrest was based on a tip from this new campaign.

FBI agents put the apartment under surveillance, lured Bulger out and arrested him without incident, authorities said. The couple were using the aliases Charles and Carol Gasko.

A variety of guns and a large amount of cash were

found in the apartment, the FBI said. Federal investigators declined to say how Bulger got enough money to live on.

Bulger had a $2-million US reward on his head and rose to No. 1 on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list after Osama bin Laden was killed. “Although there are those who have doubted our resolve at times over the years, it has never wa-

vered,” said Richard DesLauriers, agent in the charge of the FBI’s Boston office. “We followed every lead. We explored every possibility, and when those leads ran out, we did not sit back and wait for the phone to ring.”

Bulger faces a slew of federal charges while Greig, 60, is charged with harbouring a fugitive.

A couple walks past an FBI video looking for mob boss James (Whitey) Bulger in New York’s Times Square Thursday.

The length of Conrad Black’s sentence will be up for debate on Friday.

Judge Amy St. Eve could choose to uphold the original six-and-a-half-year sentence, send him back to jail for a lesser time on the remaining convictions or allow him to stay free based on time served.

Black has exhausted all legal avenues after a lastditch Supreme Court appeal was denied in May Even if Black is allowed to go free on Friday, he will continue to have a criminal record stemming from his two convictions.

Full exoneration will take nothing short of a presidential pardon.

Conrad Black will learn whether his days of wearing an orange jumpsuit and sleeping in a cell are behind him when he appears on Friday in the same Chicago courtroom where he was sentenced four years ago.

St. Eve sentenced Black in 2007 to six and a half years in prison for three fraud convictions and another for obstruction of justice, to be served concurrently.

Black had served two and a half years in a penitentiary in Coleman, Fla., before being released on bond last July awaiting an appeal after a Supreme Court ruling that exposed flaws in a federal fraud law.

New ad campaign toasts the breadbasket Canadians ROB GILLIES/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Canadian Wheat Board and Canada Bread Co. have signed a branding deal to promote Prairie grain across the country.

The board’s motto — “Canadian Wheat Makes it Good” — and maple leaf logo will appear on bags of Dempster’s WholeGrains bread and in television commercials, print advertising, in-store promotions and online material. A tagline will read: “Prized around the world. Grown on the Prairies.”

“Research shows that

Canadians seek out homegrown products and trust their high quality,” said David Burrows, a Wheat Board vice-president.

The Wheat Board is controlled by western Canadian farmers and sells wheat and barley to more than 70 countries. Its monopoly has come under assault in recent weeks by the federal government.

Canada Bread Co. is 90 per cent owned by Maple Leaf Foods. In 2010, Canada Bread had sales of $1.6 billion. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Hay bales dot the wheat fields outside Saskatoon. “The Prairies are Canada’s wheat heartland,” says Canada Bread spokeswoman Andrea Graham. The company is pairing with the Canadian Wheat Board on a joint ad campaign.

Winklevoss twins drop their Facebook lawsuit Settlement reached in 2008 includes $45 million in shares Stock now worth more than $100 million

KIMIHIRO HOSHINO/GETTY IMAGES FILE

The Harvard University classmates of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg are ending the legal battle made famous by the Hollywood movie The Social Network.

In a one-paragraph court filing Wednesday, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss said they would accept a settlement that was worth $65 million US when agreed upon in 2008.

The twins had sought to undo the settlement of $20 million cash and $45 million in stock.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the twins, saying they had been represented by a squadron of Silicon Valley lawyers and their father, a noted business professor.

Late Transition. You may have seen commercials about an analog shutdown on August MIKE BENHAIM 31. This transition to “all digiMETRO tal” only impacts people that still use an antennas to receive their TV signal. Not to alienate the dozens of people who still adjust their image via wire hanger attached to the back of Uncle Lenny’s wheelchair, but a cable-conversion box is available. Now, I’m not the most techsavvy person in town, but isn’t this like adding a Touch-Tone converter to your rotary phone? Hey, it’s 2011. People are watching HBO on their wristwatches.

You don’t have to dance, but the least you could do is come to the party, Huckleberry. Jeez!

Amy Winehouse. After two years of supposed sobriety, her European comeback tour began with her “coming back” to rehab. I suddenly thought it ironic that a notorious alcoholic/junkie should be named “Winehouse,” but then I discovered that like many immigrants, her parents had changed their name. The original name was “Crackhouse.” (My apologies. I couldn’t resist.)

Drop the puck. Winnipeg’s new NHL franchise was unanimously approved by the league’s board of governors. Within three days of announcing the sale, the franchise sold 13,000 season tickets. I’ve always said that the two best things about Winnipeg in the ‘80s were hockey and Burton Cummings. Now if they combine the two and have him sing every anthem, I’m watching.

Disservice with a smile. Two of our nation’s most important service providers, Air Canada and Canada Post, went on strike, forcing consumers to employ other alternatives. Unfortunately, Canadians are having a difficult time adjusting, as they are unaccustomed to receiving good service while being treated well at the same time.

Royal economics. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, in an effort to save taxpayers’ money, will reduce the number of valets or dressers on their foreign tour this month. This simply means that instead of the 14 aides with which daddy, Prince Charles, routinely travels, they will tough it out with a mere six or seven. I don’t mean to appear ungrateful for the extra McFlurry I can afford with my tax refund in 2013, but I keep getting distracted by repeated footage of their $80million wedding!

Sotto Voce. The Voice has officially eclipsed American Idol in talent, quality and class. Not a single contestant, even in the opening rounds, was there for the sole purpose of public mockery. Every contestant had chops. I also believe they have identified a great new artist in Javier Colon. If you haven’t been watching, check him out on YouTube.

Who’s the boss? Every Springsteen fan knows the story of that stormy night at Asbury Park in 1971 when Bruce met some football player who apparently “played a little sax.” And anyone who’s seen a Springsteen show recalls Bruce’s introduction of the band.

Right before breaking into a rendition of Thunder Road, he’d say, “On saxophone, the incomparable, the big man … Clarence Clemons!” Clarence is gone now, but his music remains.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth Mentioning DINOSAURS. Scientists

have figured out a way to take the temperature of dinosaurs, and it turns out to be almost the same as ours.

Of course you can’t stick a thermometer under the tongue of a creature that’s been extinct for millions of years.

So they did the next best thing. They studied dinosaur teeth, which can reflect body temperature.

They found the longnecked Brachiosaurus had a temperature of about 38.2 C and the smaller Camarasaurus had a temperature of about 36.8 C degrees.

People average 37 C. Their study, reported online Thursday in the journal Science, will not settle the long-running debate over whether dinosaurs were warmblooded like modern mammals or cold-blooded, requiring outside sources of warmth to get them going like lizards.

The researchers were able to determine the creatures’ temperatures because body temperature makes a difference in the amount of different types of carbon and oxygen that collect in the tooth enamel.

Now 99, the Second World War veteran and retired postal worker from western New York recently

Gilbert tells the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester that their first encounter was in 2010 in a hall at Monroe Community Hospital, the nursing home where they both live.

After that, he started visiting her every day.

Gilbert says they wanted to share a room, but the facility’s rules don’t allow it unless a couple is married.

Hartman asked him if he wanted to tie the knot, he said yes and they were married on June 6 with Hartman’s extended family on hand.

In the new Cameron Diaz movie, Bad Teacher, she plays – you guessed it – a bad teacher! More concerned with hooking up with a wealthy co-worker (played by her real-life ex Justin Timberlake) than with her students, she doesn’t make much of an effort to actually educate until she learns there’s a cash bonus for the teacher with the highest classroom grade average.

Comedian Tony Krolo is sitting in for Mark Breslin this week.

Richard Crouse: Tony, having seen the red band trailer for Bad Teacher I went in expecting a vulgar, funny swear-fest along the same lines as The Hangover. Instead I got a funny, only somewhat vulgar movie that I think could have benefitted from a bit more raunch. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it, but my expectations were higher... or, I guess, lower. What did you think? (Remember you have big shoes to fill here!)

lin. I wanted to like this movie... so I did. From the opening song Teacher, Teacher by Rockpile, something I still have on original vinyl, to the great casting in even the smallest of roles to the sweet moments followed immediately by gross sight gags to the nicely paced direction by Jake Kasdan, Bad Teacher had a little bit of everything. But it could have had a lot more raunch, you’re right.

RC: Yeah, it seems a bit afraid to go all the way. Diaz’s character, a desperate, pretty-on-the-outside but ugly underneath is an odd character to hang a comedy on, but she pulls it off.

There’s Something About Mary and The Mask, and for this movie that’s a good thing. The very slight patina of age and experience in her manner adds some extra desperation to Elizabeth. Having said that, I don’t think this movie would work nearly as well without the supporting cast. You? TK: The cast was incredible. Justin Timberlake really shines here. Jason Segel, John Michael Higgins, Phyllis Smith from The Office, they do their usual, great characters, but Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family played opposite to what you would expect, to really funny results.

grossly underused Molly Shannon. It’s sad. If she was 15 years younger, she’d have been perfect to play Lucy Punch’s Amy Squirrel character, who I felt was doing a great Molly Shannon.

RC: The supporting cast don’t exactly rescue this movie – it doesn’t need rescuing – but without them Bad Teacher wouldn’t be nearly as much fun.

TK: It is very funny if you can allow your suspension of disbelief to ignore the premise that Cameron Diaz’s character actually worked at the school for a full year and gets hired back to have the shenanigans in this movie.

Hanks up against summer superheros

CONTRIBUTED

His new comedy, Larry Crowne, faces stiff competition this movie season About a middle-aged man in college NED EHRBAR

MWN IN HOLLYWOOD

Tom Hanks is the first to admit that Larry Crowne, his new comedy about a middle-aged man who goes back to college after losing his job, is something of a hard sell in the crowded, superhero-heavy summer movie season.

“How do we compete in the marketplace? Forgive me, I haven’t the slightest f---ing idea. It’s going to be interesting,” Hanks says.

“Here we are in a summer of big-time blockbusters. It’s not the

summer — it’s year-round,” he says. “You could interview all the marketing gurus and they’ll all talk about release dates and counter-programming and blah blah blah. But at the end of the day, it’s got to be a good movie, it’s got to be a funny movie and it’s got to make people think, ‘Hey, I couldn’t have spent my time any better.’”

A tall order, to be sure.

But as director, co-writer and the face of the titular Crowne, Hanks is more than up to the challenge.

Besides, he’s not actually that worried about the competition. “By the way,

that thing about the guy who wore a suit and the planet exploded and he still got the girl by travelling through time? That movie sucked,” Hanks says with a laugh. “I’m not saying any movie sucked, but you know what I’m talking about,” he’s quick to add, his inherent Mr. Nice Guy kicking in.

The story of a man heading to college in his 50s might make most people think midlife crisis, but for Hanks that doesn’t begin to cover it. “It’s not a midlife crisis, it’s a midlife disaster,” he says. “Midlife crisis is when you wake up with

Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks star in Larry Crowne.

everything — ‘Oh, I have everything but I’m still unhappy.’ That doesn’t happen to Larry.

Larry thinks it’s the greatest day in the world and he gets fired.”

And while not graduating college did work out OK for Hanks, he is quick to point out that he and his leading lady, Julia Roberts, still remember the tough times, Oscars or no Oscars.

“There is a time for both of us where we’re living in a rented house in the Valley that we cannot afford, we have been fired from the job that we had and it’s now been 13 months since you’ve actually worked in the city and the phone still is not yet ringing,” Hanks says. “And you wonder if in fact you’re going to take the job at the Wienerschnitzel on Laurel Canyon. When you have that moment, that never quite goes away.”

Thinking big pays off for Gibson Actor stars in much anticipated Transformers flick Motivational book on New York Times Bestseller list CONTRIBUTED

Tyrese Gibson plays Epps in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Tyrese Gibson, the handsome singer and actor, thinks big.

Making his new film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, was intense, he says, because “we were working on something the world is anticipating.”

Later he mentions

Michelle Obama is a fan of his book How to Get Out of Your Own Way. “I’m going to meet her one day,” he muses. “She was probably reading my book in bed and her husband came to bed. ‘What are you reading, baby?’ ‘Oh, Tyrese’s new book.’”

Gibson doesn’t regard these overblown statements as hubris but as simple statements of fact. It’s hard to argue with him.

The third Transformers movie is one of the most

anticipated of the year and his book is on the New York Times Bestseller list.

The key to his success is something called “maximizing the stage,” he says.

“As these opportunities come up you dream with your eyes open. You want to become or be a part of the things that you see.

There is only so much in your life that you can plan out.

“It’s arrogant to believe that the next second belongs to you. Tomorrow is

a promise so now that we’re here it’s about maximizing.”

Thinking big has paid off for Gibson.

“I shot both Fast Five and Transformers simultaneously over seven months,” he says. “Hanging out with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. and then getting on a private plane to get to Michael Bay. “The same day; two different movie sets. That’s a good life right there baby.”

Terrence Malick’s movies aren’t for everyone.

True Transformation Bay promises audiences will notice a difference between second part of his series and coming third Director Michael Bay promises that the third Transformers movie is way better than the second.

The 46-year-old’s pride was bruised after part two of the franchise, 2009’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, did a bang-up job at the box office (bringing in more than $400 million domestically) but was roundly beat-up by critics.

Rolling Stone’s Peter Travers said the movie was so “beyond bad, it carves out its own category of godawfulness.” It also won the Razzie that year for worst director, worst script and worst film.

Now, Bay is back with Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which opens in IMAX 3-D on Tuesday night and goes wide at midnight Wednesday. When asked to describe the new movie, Bay said, “it's a lot better

Raising their game to the next level Beady Eye not resting on success from Oasis’ days LINDA LABAN

METRO WORLD NEWS

Beady Eye sees the former members of Oasis, including frontman Liam Gal-

lagher, but minus brother Noel, downsizing tours and playing smaller venues.

However, forging ahead with this new band has upped their game.

“It’s weird, man,” says guitarist Gem Archer, “because I think a lot more bands should split up.”

Known for the sibling rivalry of the Gallagher brothers as much as their

They’ve accepted the breakup, now they’re moving on melodic Brit-pop hits, Oasis suddenly, though not too surprisingly, fractured in 2009.

As Archer considers the quote he just provided, he laughs at how it could be

taken as typically acerbic for these Brit-pop vets.

“I mean as an exercise,” he adds.

“Imagine if every band said, ‘Look, for the next tour we’re going to do all the new songs and only sticking in three or four (old ones).’”

That is exactly what Beady Eye’s challenge is.

Though they look and sound familiar, they don’t want to lazily rest on old

laurels and play Oasis hits on this first world tour, which includes only a handful of U.S. dates and a promise, says Gem, to return for more before the end of the year.

“It was a bit of a mindf— to sort of go, ‘Look this is all we’ve got,’” Gem says of the band’s debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding, which was released in February.

“It raises your game.”

HANDOUT

Meet the new kings of Swedish rock Royal Republic unites in humour and accidental Nazi salutes The hard partying tunes bring the noise PAT HEALY

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN BOSTON

It can be difficult to take what Royal Republic singer Adam Grahn says seriously. It’s not just his huge handlebar mustache or that he sings lyrics like, “I can see your underwear!” in the chorus of one of his band’s biggest hits.

It’s that he makes a lot of jokes in conversation that are in perfect keeping with the Swedish band’s hard-rocking party tunes, as represented on their debut from last year, We Are the Royal.

It sounds like you’re having a lot of fun singing these songs…

We’re having too much fun. This album is all about having fun. We’re just four dudes. It’s just bullshit.

There’s nothing in there really, just stupid music stories about stupid made up people and the thing with all the happiness and all of the good stuff is that we’ll have to write some emo, cut-yourself-intopieces album to compensate.

Humour is definitely a big component of the first album.

How important to you is that?

For us, it was really important. We didn’t want to be a heavy band, lyrically.

We’re happy guys. We have a lot of energy and this is what came out. We started writing for this album and the lyrics were really secondary. It was really about the whole package — the way you deliver the songs, the energy and everything and the connection with the audience.

Playing so many shows with this one album, I’d imagine you’re always looking for a way to keep yourself interested in what you’re doing onstage.

We kind of had an incident the other week in Germany. We were headlining a pretty small festival, of like 3,000 to 4,000 people.

I just recently came up with this thing, in the middle of a song, in the middle of a set, I thought, ‘I’m going to bring the audience in and wave their hands back and forth’” And I just lost it. I started saying, ‘Everybody look at the dude with the mustache on the stage. Everybody do what the guy with the mustache is doing.

Hands up!’ And I was putting my arm out straight and going, ‘Up, up!’ (in German). And none of us thought about it until four days after in the van, our tour manager just turned his head in horror and was like, ‘Adam, do you realize what we did the other day?’

It’s a full house of poker problems Tobey Maguire among celebs reportedly caught ante-ing up at unlicensed poker matches Spidey actor caught in a web of lawsuits Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire and other celebrities have been caught in a web of lawsuits seeking to reclaim more than $4 million won during unlicensed poker matches at upscale Beverly Hills hotels, court records show.

The lawsuits were filed by a bankruptcy trustee attempting to recoup money for investors who were duped in a Ponzi scheme.

The legal actions claim the clandestine Texas Hold 'em matches were played between 2006 and 2009, with some of the money taken in the Ponzi scheme used to pay off debts incurred by its architect, Bradley Ruderman.

Maguire is being sued for $311,000 plus interest that the lawsuit says was won from Ruderman. In all, 22 people have been individually sued to try to recoup money.

Among them was Nick Cassavettes, director of The Notebook. The trustee

agent Jeff Berg also did not immediately respond to a phone message. Also being sued is billionaire businessman Alec Gores, who along with his brother attempted to buy Miramax Films last year.

Gores is being sued for $445,500. Phone message left for Frank Stefanik, a spokesman at The Gores Group, and his attorney, Patricia Glaser, were not immediately returned.

Ruderman was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison earlier this year after pleading guilty to two counts of wire fraud, two counts of investment adviser fraud and wilful failure to file taxes.

Bankruptcy trustee Howard Ehrenberg filed the lawsuits in late March, attempting to recoup money on behalf of people who invested in what the legal action called a Ponzi scheme organized by Ruderman.

Pizza pie heaven This pizza takes the Italian favourite to a whole new level Grilling this Sweet Potato and Sausage Pizza infuses delicious smoky flavours MATTHEW MEAD/ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ingredients:

Start to finish: 30 min.

Makes: 8 slices

• 1 medium sweet potato • 2 sweet or spicy Italian chicken sausage, each cut diagonally into 8 slices • 1 ball (about 567 g/20 oz) pizza dough • 30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil • 1 ball (500 g/16 oz) fresh mozzarella, sliced • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh thyme

move from grill and set aside.

3

Clean grill grates and brush with oil. Stretch pizza dough into a rough circle, about 35 centimetres in diameter.

Reduce grill to medium heat, set dough on grate. Close lid and grill for 7 minutes or until bottom is golden.

4

Brush top of pizza crust with half of olive oil and flip over. Brush again with remaining oil. Top with sweet potato slices, cooked sausage pieces and mozzarella slices.

Close grill and cook for 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and bottom of crust is golden and crispy. Remove from grill and sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme.

Grilling pizza offers a new flavour.

Summer grilling season is a great excuse to give the pizza delivery guy a break.

Grilling infuses pizza with a wonderful smoky flavour and a crisp, chewy crust.

But you need to know a few basics.

First, your toppings need to be precooked because the pizza won’t be on the grill long enough to cook them there. Second, it’s important to start with clean, well-oiled grates because the dough will stick to charred food left on them.

Finally, start by grilling the dough plain until the bottom is lightly browned.

Then oil the top, flip and add your sauce and other toppings to finish cooking.

We’ve opted for a slightly unusual combination of sausage and sweet potato.

Classic sliced tomatoes and mozzarella (with fresh basil thrown on after it comes off the grill) or sauteed peppers, onions and zucchini topped with pepper jack cheese also would be great summery options.

Not quite white, not yet red PETER ROCKWELL LIQUIDASSETS@EASTLINK.CA TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY

When you’re a wine it’s not that easy being pink. Caught between a red and a white place you’re often accused of being designed for folks looking to take a step up from coolers.

Though California’s White Zinfandel may be the best known pinky, Europe and South America have long histories of making rosé wines.

Theirs are typically drier with crisp berry fruit flavours. Light in acid and tannin they make a perfect match with pasta with tomato sauce and pizza, as well as grilled meats.

That harmony between body and fruit also gives them an edge over red wines when looking for a liquid partner for white meats and fresh fish; and they pair nicely with Asian dishes and brunch items.

Selection varies, with a wine like Folonari’s 2010 Pink Pinot Grigio ($11.95 - $12.99) from Italy, a soft, strawberry-infused twist on the world’s most popular white grape variety.

Decision day arrives Flyers’ blockbuster trades could signal more ahead as teams prepare for NHL draft What was thought would be a straightforward NHL draft highlighted by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins being picked first by the Edmonton Oilers became a more mysterious place Thursday after an explosion of trades by the Philadelphia Flyers.

Now the question going into the opening round on Friday night is not only where the top dozen or more highly regarded 18year-olds in this year’s pool will be selected, but what sudden moves may be made on the Excel Centre floor.

Already, the Columbus Blue Jackets have dealt away the eighth-overall pick, plus 21-year-old Jakob

Top picks After Edmonton, Colorado drafts second, but they have good defence prospects and may want a big forward in Sweden’s Gabriel Landeskog, who is captain of the Kitchener Rangers.

Voracek and a thirdrounder, to the Flyers for veteran centre Jeff Carter.

That came just before Philadelphia general manager Paul Holmgren sent his captain Mike Richards to the Los Angeles Kings for two players.

Florida, which also has good young blue-liners like Erik Gudbranson in the fold, holds the third pick and may also want a forward. They are followed

by New Jersey, the New York Islanders, Ottawa, Winnipeg/Manitoba, Philadelphia, Boston (from Toronto in the Phil Kessel deal) and Minnesota.

Now there’s a sense it may set off a round of big deals involving several other clubs.

“That probably will shake some other things moving, but it doesn’t affect anything we’re working on,” said Toronto Maple

Leafs general manager Brian Burke, who nonetheless is ready to move his 25th and 30th-overall first-round picks plus a high second rounder if he can get a good NHL-ready skater.

It was already a tough draft to call, with widely varying opinions among scouts on what order to place the strong crop of prospects that come after Nugent-Hopkins, the skinny playmaking centre from the Red Deer Rebels who is a consensus choice as the top pick.

The Oilers hold the first pick and, without confirming it, have given every indication they will add Nugent-Hopkins to a pool

of talented young forwards that includes last year’s first-overall pick Taylor Hall, as well as Sam Gagner, Magnus Paajarvi and others.

“If I do go first, there’s a lot of young guys there who have gone through the same things I have, so they’ll be great to talk to,” Nugent-Hopkins said. “I joined a rebuilding team in Red Deer a couple of years ago and I really liked that.

“Edmonton is going through the same thing right now. I’d love to join a rebuilding team like that and help them to the ultimate goal, which is the Stanley Cup, eventually.”
