An inquiry into the murder of a five-year-old Manitoba girl has barely begun, but lawyers are already warning it won’t meet a deadline set by the provincial government.

Pleaded guilty to driving without licence two days before drunken crash Judge notes offender’s remorse JAMES TURNER

@METRONEWS.CA

A drunk driver who smashed his wife’s car on a residential street and ran away — leaving his injured teenage nephew behind — will spend the next 12 months behind bars.

John Roulette, 39, was led out of court in handcuffs after a short afternoon hearing in front of Justice Robert Dewar in Winnipeg yesterday. The father of three previously pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing bodily harm.

Roulette and his 17-yearold nephew were at their home drinking when they decided to make a beer run.

Roulette, who was seen speeding down Polson Avenue, sideswiped two cars prior to smashing into the

back of a parked truck.

After attempting to pull his injured relative from the crashed car, Roulette — bleeding badly from a slash to his face — ran away from the scene back to his nearby home where police arrested him.

Investigators determined he was nearly three times over the legal blood-alcohol limit of .08.

Roulette, who has apologized for what happened and no longer drinks, asked

the court to impose a fine and a period of probation as punishment.

Dewar refused, saying such a penalty wouldn’t reflect the public will. In 2008, Parliament stopped allowing conditional sentences for impaired driving injury offences.

“In my view, Parliament has spoken on this issue, and I’m not willing to sidestep the will of Parliament,” Dewar said, adding he felt the jail sentence sends Roulette the message that “drinking and driving will not be tolerated.”

Roulette appeared resigned and simply nodded as Dewar delivered his verdict.

He will also have to serve two years of probation and will be barred from driving for three years when he gets out.

Be fabulous at The Forks, go over the moon on Osborne or party hearty at the Picnic CRYSTAL LADERAS/FOR METRO

WINNIPEG@METRONEWS.CA

It’s only a few more years before the country turns the big 1-5-0, in 2017, but Canada Day celebrations are keeping up with the times with new traditions, some high-tech tweaking and a minor facelift for landmark attractions.

The Osborne Village Canada Day Street Festival and Market is Winnipeg’s largest and longest-running street festival. The village has long been a restaurant mecca, and this year’s newest indulgences can be sampled at Unburger, Deadfish CafÊ, La Bamba Mexican restaurant and Tea Story.

Susan McCaine, executive director of Osborne BIZ, is co-ordinating the event for the first time and wants to start a new tradition (although you could say it’s a revival of an old tradition). “At the end of the mainstage performance, we’re going to try to get everyone in the crowd to sing O Canada together. To have all of the thousands of voices singing O Canada together would be a really unifying feeling.�

McCaine moved the main stage to overlook Osborne Street from Gertrude Avenue in the hope of making the festival “far more welcoming.�

The Forks is giving the scavenger hunt a digital upgrade with the Canada Day

Kaitlyn Hennings, 9, and Mikhail Sienkiewicz, 4, get ready for the big party at The Forks.

Twitter Hunt. “We’re going to be giving some clues about where we are on the site and some trivia questions about what is happening that day,� marketing co-ordinator Chelsea Thomson said. Tweeters need to follow the feed — @theforks — to win Rogers or Forks gift cards.

For those travelling on bikes or skateboards or pushing strollers, The Forks parking lot offers a new Bicycle Valet. The service is free all day for people who want to secure their wheels.

Canada Day Picnic in the Park offers activities for kids who like to bounce off the walls. Inflatable rides, organized games and clowns will be at Assinboine Park all day. The expanded duck pond and Children’s Nature Playground and Garden make their first appearance at the annual picnic.

With its giant robin’s nests, snakes-and-ladders board and topiary frog musicians, you could say the park channels Alice in Wonderland through a Canadian Prairie filter.

Gay marriage demanded in Jersey MJ SCHEAR/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Activists say existing civil union law inhibits their rights, lawsuit only way to solve inequities Seven gay couples and many of their children filed a lawsuit Wednesday to demand New Jersey recognize gay marriage, saying it’s the only way to solve inequities created by the state’s fouryear-old civil union law.

It comes days after neighbouring state New York became the sixth U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage.

New Jersey lawmakers created that law to try to fulfil a 2006 state Supreme Court order that committed gay couples be given the same legal protections and benefits as married couples.

The couples say that in places like insurance offices and hospital emergency rooms the civil union doesn’t cut it.

One plaintiff John Grant was struck by a car in New

Legal battle The lawsuit was filed in a state court by the national gay-rights law firm Lambda Legal and the New Jersey gay-rights group Garden State Equality.

It came less than a week after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law allowing gay marriage in his neighbouring state.

York City. His civil union partner, Danny Weiss, says he wasn’t entitled to make medical decisions for Grant.

Grant’s sister was summoned to the hospital instead. “Nobody should have to endure the indignity that we did,” Weiss said.

Teen faces murder charges in cop’s death AARON VINCENT ELKAIM/THE CANADIAN PRESS

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a York Regional police officer.

Police allege the boy was driving the minivan that dragged Const. Garrett Styles to his death after he pulled the vehicle over early Tuesday morning on a rural highway north of Toronto.

The youth — who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act — is at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick

Children with serious injuries. He is scheduled to appear in a Newmarket court July 7.

Police say three other youths in the van were not seriously injured and are cooperating with the investigation.

Styles, 32, was a married father of a two-year-old daughter and nine-week-old son. His funeral is scheduled for Tuesday in Newmarket but tributes have already been pouring in.

York Regional police Chief Eric Jolliffe addresses a news conference about the death of Const. Garrett Styles, shown in a photo beside him, in Newmarket, Ont., Tuesday.

Community members have placed flowers, cards and teddy bears at the detachment where Styles was based, while some signed a book of condolences.

Styles’ conversation with a police dispatcher after he was injured was published and broadcast by the media.

Some people have called the words heartbreaking while others say the exchange should have never been made public.

Welford would not reveal how the man got out of the besieged hotel, but said he has been taken to an undisclosed location.

“He’s safe and unharmed,” she said.

The man’s identity was not released, but Welford said he was not part of the Canadian military or diplo-

matic mission and has no ties to the development and aid community.

The attack late Tuesday was one the most complex launched by insurgents to date and lasted five hours and ended with 19 people dead, including the attackers.

Federal nuclear firm goes private

Bible Studies

Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. sold for $15 million Ottawa keeping intellectual-property rights The federal government has sold nuclear company Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. to Montreal-based engineering giant SNCLavalin Group.

Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver announced the sale late yesterday. The sale ended at least two years of attempts by Ottawa to privatize AECL. The sale price was $15 million.

Meanwhile, SNCLavalin is creating a new division called CANDU Energy that will house AECL's three former business lines.

SNC-Lavalin was the sole bidder to meet Ottawa's conditions for buying the financially troubled Crown corporation.

AECL has long been a headache for successive federal governments and has cost Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars in

subsidies, including about $1 billion in the last two years alone.

The company has also faced major cost overruns at key projects in recent years while struggling to find a buyer.

In May 2009, the Conservatives announced plans to spin off AECL's commercial reactor business from its research division.

The announcement coincided with what turned into a lengthy shutdown of the company's research reactor at Chalk River, Ont., which caused a worldwide shortage of the medical isotopes used to detect cancer and heart ailments.

An earlier shutdown in late 2007 also strained the global isotope supply and ended only after Parliament voted to bypass the nuclear safety regulator's closure order.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nuclear reaction The AECL sale could have effects on two Canadian provinces, which face questions about how the sale will affect their own nuclear power industries.

The company has bid for the two new reactors Ontario wants to build, but the province won't make a decision until AECL's future is certain.

Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan told reporters Tuesday that he doesn't expect to sign any deals before the Oct. 6 provincial election.

The provincial Tory government has been looking to Ottawa to cover roughly $1 billion in additional costs during the Lepreau refurbishment, which is being overseen by AECL.

Canada’s agriculture minister says the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly on wheat and barley sales has got to go if the grain industry is to grow stronger.

“The monopoly of the wheat board is standing in the way,” Gerry Ritz told a meeting of the Grain Growers of Canada on Wednesday.

“What was once Canada’s signature crop has fallen behind.”

He said the country’s

share of the world wheat market has been cut in half and barley has also suffered as farmers switched to other crops.

That falling market share means the board has seen its influence on prices decline.

METRO I have mastered the fundamentals known as the three S’s: Standing, squatting and swearing about the water’s temperature. And, sometimes, emboldened by back-to-back episodes of Jackass, I let the water come up to my neck.

But despite my derring-do, the fact remains that I’m about as buoyant as a cockpit voice recorder. To me, the butterfly is an animal, the freestyle is rap music and the breaststroke is something you do if you really love your KFC. The only pool that I have been in recently involved guessing when Will and Kate will get divorced.

(If the Taliban ever harnesses the power of chlorine, every North American will be wandering around with their face squeezed tight and their arms outstretched asking for a towel.)

We did take swimming lessons on school trips, but they generally involved clinging to a flutter board as though we had just departed the Titanic. When the chlorine dissolved the board, the lesson was over.

I could get sulky about this and blame my childhood, but instead I have decided to embrace it: I want to return to my roots and get a flutter board because that’s the closest I have been to swimming.

It might seem childish but, heck, they give out beer in sippy cups at hockey games, and those motorcycles with extra wheels seem popular now. Give my board an iPhone colour scheme and an impressive name and I will be fine with it. My Jet-Black Thoroughbred Freedom Board will be the talk of the pool.

And if anyone mocks me, I’m blaming the tears on chlorine.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth mentioning LOS ANGELES. A team of European astronomers, glimpsing back in time to when the universe was just a youngster, says it has detected the most distant and earliest quasar yet.

Light from this brilliant, starlike object took nearly 13 billion years to reach Earth, meaning the quasar existed when the universe was only 770 million years old — a child by cosmic standards. The discovery ranks as the brightest object ever found.

To scientists’ surprise, the black hole powering this quasar was two billion times more massive than the sun. How it grew so bulky so early in the universe’s history is a mystery. Black holes are known to feed on stars, gas and other matter, but their growth was always thought to be slow.

The discovery was reported in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. Since quasars are so luminous, they guide astronomers studying the conditions of the cosmos following the Big Bang, the explosion believed to have created the universe 13.7 billion years ago.

Starting Aug. 1, residents in the Jupiter, Fla., community must each pay a $200 fee to keep the dogs’ genetic information on file at the DNA Pet World Registry. Dog droppings found in common areas will be collected and mailed to the Tennessee-based company for comparison.

RICHARD CROUSE & MARK BRESLIN

Hanks’ comedic return Richard Crouse and Phil Brown agree Larry Crowne feels a bit out of date But they enjoy Hank’s gentle character comedy and film’s offbeat casting

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Movie writer Phil Brown is sitting in for Mark Breslin this week.

Richard Crouse: Phil, Larry Crowne has an old-fashioned feel to it, like a ’90s sitcom updated with references from the 2000s.

There’s something reassuring about seeing old pros Hanks and Roberts effortlessly glide through this like hot knives through butter, but occasionally the material feels a bit out of date.

Phil Brown: The movie seemed too old-fashioned to me and just felt bland.

Star power has appeal, but I just can’t buy two of the most recognizable movie stars as down-on-their-luck

nobodies. Tom Hanks may have an everyman quality, but he looks as out of place working in a department store as Larry the Cable Guy at Harvard.

RC: Maybe so, but Hanks has been playing the Da Vinci Code’s oh-so-serious iconology professor Robert Langdon for so long now it’s easy to forget that he was once known as an accomplished comedic actor.

Here he turns the dial back to movies like Joe and the Volcano, playing a likeable character you want to root for. I enjoyed that, I just found the obvious boomer baiting a bit obvious.

PB: Yeah, it was nice to see him try to be funny again

and hopefully it’s not the last time. Few do gentle character comedy better.

The boomer baiting was frustrating as was the attempt to make overcoming economic crisis seem so easy. If only I’d known before now that the answer to any financial problems I have could be solved by taking a community college level intro to economics course with George Takei.

RC: I actually really liked the movie’s offbeat casting. Sure Hanks and Roberts are the above-thetitle stars, but they’ll only appeal to people who remember when gas cost 54 cents a litre. The rest of the cast is bizarre. Pam

Grier? Awesome. Wilmer Valderrama? Well, maybe not awesome, but at least left-of-centre enough to be fun. For all the familiar names in the cast, it was an unfamiliar one that grabbed my attention: Gugu Mbatha-Raw. I think a new star might have been born there.

PB: She has a star quality and I did enjoy seeing Tekei even if his subplot was ridiculous. This is a comfort food movie. For the price of admission you get pretty actors, a comfy moral and a happy ending.

There’s nothing wrong with cinematic empty calories, I just could have used some realism, edge and creativity.

Also opening this weekend is Selena Gomez’s Monte Carlo, about a young girl on vacation in the seaside town who is mistaken for a British heiress. The movie also stars Leighton Meester, Cory Monteith and Andie MacDowell.

Movie review

SUBMITTED

Horrible Bosses is a buddy comedy that never gets too dark Sudeikis talks to Metro about his new flick RICHARD CROUSE

picture him laughing a lot,” he says. “I think that is what keeps him so spry.”

In Horrible Bosses, the handsome actor — he’s good-looking enough to have dated January Jones!

— plays Kurt, who, along with Jason Bateman and Charlie Day, plot to kill their evil employers.

“I just think Jason and Charlie are so great,” he says. “I watched and thought, ‘Golly, they’re so frickin’ funny. I hope people are all right with me.’”

The plot sounds sinister, but the movie isn’t serious in any way.

“I don’t know if any of our characters go through an emotional arc,” he laughs. “It never gets too dark. There’s not going to be any copycat situations.

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Although Jason Sudeikis stars in the new comedy Horrible Bosses, he says in real life he’s never worked for a horrible boss.

A short retail career — “It was not my forte,” he says — saw a manager harp on him about “hanger integrity,” which he explains is “the act of making sure all your hangers in a closet or on a clothing rack face the exact same way.” But he doesn’t remember her as horrible. “Passive aggressive, yes, and very detail oriented, but horrible, no.”

His current boss, Saturday Night Live head honcho Lorne Michaels, gets more effusive praise. “I

It’s not going to start things up around the country, or the world for that matter.”

It’s a buddy comedy expanded to three, just like another big hit this summer, The Hangover Part 2.

“People, if they want to be crappy about it will say, ‘Oh, they want to be The Hangover,’ but it is totally different.”

I mention a tweet someone sent after seeing Horrible Bosses. “Three is the new two,” it read.

“I’ve been working on my own theory that four is the new rule of comedy in this new generation,” he says. “One establishes the premise, two hits it, third is the punch line, then the fourth one is a comment on what the first three were.”

Jason Sudeikis stars in Horrible Bosses.

Horrible Bosses is being released amidst the crash, boom, bang of the summer blockbusters. I ask him if he’s concerned about competing with the

likes of Transformers.

“Out of the movies that are being released around it, it’s the one I would go see,” he says. “I just happen to be in it, which is nice.”

A wildly ambitious mix of styles and genres united by an explicitly ecological theme, the National Parks Project culls together thirteen short films shot across each of Canada’s provinces and territories.

Each segment is shot in a provincial park by a single director, working with a trio of musicians to create a kind of visual/aural poem. Not surprisingly, certain passages are more interesting than others, though there’s a sense of aesthetic continuity throughout.

A confluence of contemporary and classical CONTRIBUTED

The Liptonians

BACKSTAGE PASS JARED STORY

METRO WINNIPEG

Winnipeg’s musical meeting place. This year’s Canada Day at The Forks event features local indierockers The Liptonians joining forces with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.

Presented by Manitoba

Music, the confluence of contemporary and classical takes place pre-fireworks on the Scotiabank Stage.

“It’s really validating,” says Matt Schellenberg, 26, vocalist/keyboardist in the Western Canadian Music Award-winning Liptonians.

“It’s a big honour as a Winnipeg band to be recognized in this sort of way, to be asked to play one of the bigger gigs in Winnipeg.”

To prepare for this big gig, The Liptonians sent three songs from

its latest album Let’s All March Back Into The Sea to Toronto composer Charles Cozens.

“We purposely picked the songs that

were the most orchestral,” says Schellenberg.

“On the recording, my really (expletive) keyboard plays the string parts. It’s this 1990 Yamaha I bought in Niverville, but now they will be played by Gwen Hoebig and the amazing WSO string section which is really exciting.”

For a little taste of what to expect, go to headinthe sand.ca/vi su als.php and check out the funny promotional video The Lip-

tonians shot with WSO music director Alexander Mickelthwate.

“I’m hoping we can get people into intelligent music of all forms,” says Schellenberg.

The Liptonians start at 9 p.m., followed by the WSO at 10 p.m., with the two groups sharing the stage at 10:40 p.m.

Admission is free.

More festivities on this busy holiday weekend A celebration of Canada and community, the Osborne Village Street Festival takes place June 30 and July 1.

The neighbourhood’s main thoroughfare, Osborne Street, is shut down between River and McMillan avenues, creating a pedestrian mall filled with food vendors, artisans, children’s activities and live music, including This Hisses, 7 p.m. at the Music Trader stage.

The story of how David Gandy and Dolce & Gabbana brought sexy back RICHARD PECKETT

“I have more determination than a lot of people and I’m absolutely stubborn.”

METRO WORLD NEWS

“I’m a big believer in, ‘don’t believe in your own hype,’” says David Gandy. As muse to Dolce & Gabbana, he’s arguably the world’s most famous male model of today.

But as he says, “I wouldn’t have the audacity to call myself a supermodel.”

This is a man who walks down runways dressed in nothing but tightie whities for a living, so you might assume he’s being facetious.

You’d be wrong.

We met at his model agency in London following the especially lavish, moviestar style launch in Milan of his eponymous book by Dolce & Gabbana. “It’s been a surreal weekend, going from driving a classic

Triumph around with a police escort and everyone screaming one day to going back to Sainsbury’s supermarket the next,” the 30year-old says.

Yes, David Gandy goes to the supermarket. He may be shaped like an inverted triangle with abs of steel but he is, in layman’s terms, a regular, “nice guy” working in a notoriously bitchy field. How has an unassuming man made it to the top of one of the most noto-

riously back-stabby industries? “I have more determination than a lot of people and I’m absolutely stubborn,” he says.

He’s so headstrong, in fact, that he once stormed out of an important casting when asked to shave his trademark mane.

“They said, ‘That’s our look and that’s what we have to do but it’s your choice if you want to leave,” he explains. “So I packed my bags and left.”

It’s a willfulness that

Gandy assures me he asserted when making the book, which includes more than a few butt shots and photos of him playfully holding phallic-shaped objects near his mouth. He explains: “For a lot of the photos, [Domenico and Stefano] probably wanted to go further than me, but we reigned it in a bit,” he says.

In fashion terms, the union of man and brand was a game changer. “People said I changed the industry but it wasn’t me, it was Dolce & Gabbana and Mario Testino. We did the white pants in Light Blue and then [Emporio] Armani followed with David Beckham,” he says. Gandy represented a breakaway from the effete-looking, super skinny Dior guy that had become so popular.

A waif, Gandy is not. And he’ll be promoting his muscle man ethos with his very own fitness and nutrition iPhone app later this year.

“After 10 years in the industry, I can actually say what, fitness-wise, absolutely works. There’ll be new techniques from the U.S. and I’ll be simplifying complex terms,” he says.

Sounds like supermodel material to us.

QUARTERBACK DARIAN DURANT

Pierce looks to stay healthy QB hopes to avoid repeat of last season when he only played five games It’s deja vu for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers when it comes to the big question mark hovering over the team this season.

Will starting quarterback Buck Pierce be able to go the distance?

That wasn’t the case last year, when Pierce’s first season with the Bombers ended with him playing only five games because of injuries.

The six-year veteran sprained a knee early in the season, then dislocated the elbow of his throwing arm in September.

The Bombers finished with a league-low 4-14 record, losing nine games by four or fewer points — a CFL record — and another by seven points.

Pierce doesn’t like to talk about his health — he’s left 10 of his last 27 games because of injury — but joked this week when told he provided the team’s biggest question mark.

“It’s not me. No, it’s not me,” he said with a smile.

“There’s got to be something else out there.”

All kidding aside, the 29year-old is aware of the scrutiny he’ll be under, beginning with the seasonopener in Hamilton on Friday.

“My frame of mind is like it is any season,” Pierce said. “We have a lot of expectations, high hopes. We

TREVOR HAGAN/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Buck Pierce’s health is a big question mark for the Bombers this season.

“We’ve got to find ways to win football games, no matter who’s playing quarterback, no matter who’s playing any position.”

WINNIPEG HEAD COACH PAUL LAPOLICE

need to set our goals high.

“My goals are set very, very high for this organization and for this team and for myself. Management and the coaching staff have put together a great group of guys and great athletes to help us and help me, as well.”

Pierce will be backed up by the inexperienced duo of Joey Elliott and Alex Brink. Import Brandon Summers out of Youngstown State was added to the practice roster

this week.

Running back Fred Reid wants to help Pierce stay on the field.

“That’s the key,” Reid said. “As long as we keep him upright, keep him healthy through the season, he can do good things for this team and take us a long way.”

The four-year veteran led the league in rushing last year with 1,396 yards on 213 carries and plans to continue where he left off.

“I put on a little weight,

maybe got a little faster, just dedicated a lot of my time to doing a little extra during the off-season so I have a little more advantage this year,” Reid said.

The Bomber receiving corps will get out of the gate with two Canadian starters. Sophomore Cory Watson has earned one spot and supplementarydraft pick Kito Poblah another.

The pair will join leader Terrence Edwards — second in the league in receiving last season — and promising second-year players Terence Jeffers-Harris and Greg Carr.

The Bombers are returning about 20 starters from last season, but one of

them won’t be offensive tackle Kelly Butler. He’s now the backup to Glenn January, who missed last season with a torn pectoral muscle.

One area where the Bombers have to turn their fortunes around is winning close games.

Veteran defensive tackle Doug Brown is heading into his 11th and final season and hopes it includes good health and good luck for him and his teammates.

“With all of the short end of the sticks we got when it comes to luck and catastrophes and things just not going our way ... we’re long overdue,” Brown said.

WHO WILL HOIST THE GREY CUP? CFL EXTRA POINTS

4-1

DAN TOTH

Calgary

SPORTS@METRONEWS.CA

Throwing away the mortgage money on a potential Grey Cup winner before the season even starts is pure lunacy, especially in the most unpredictable pro sports league on the planet.

But we’re playing with house money, so let’s lay down some odds and project the sure shots, long shots and haven’t-got-ashots for the upcoming 2011 CFL season.

3-1

B.C.

The Stamps have 2010 most outstanding player Henry Burris back at the helm and he’s always a threat, despite significant changes along the O-line. Burris has Joffrey Reynolds, the CFL’s top RB in the backfield. On defence, the secondary is without CBs Brandon Browner (NFL) and Dwight Anderson (free agency). Stamps have plenty to prove after following up their 2008 Grey Cup win with two West final losses.

The heat’s on head coach Wally Buono to get his Lions into the Grey Cup at B.C. Place Stadium in November.

Helping his chances is QB Travis Lulay, who proved late last season that he has the arm and leadership ability to get it done. Lulay will have 2010 most outstanding offensive lineman Ben Archibald, a free agent from Calgary, buying him time in the backfield.

5-1

Montreal The two-time defending Grey Cup champs have made three straight appearances in the title game and there’s no reason to believe “Les Larks� are finished picking up CFL jewelry. QB Anthony Calvillo is another year older (38) and is without SB Ben Cahoon (retired) and RB Avon Cobourne (free agency), but the Als are king of the hill until someone knocks them off.

6-1

Saskatchewan

10-1

Significant changes in 2011, including a rebuilt coaching staff under newcomer Greg Marshall, could affect the Green Giants. The Riders also lost SB Andy Fantuz (NFL), but bolstered Darian Durant’s O-line with the addition of Alex Gauthier and George Hudson.

Hamilton

The Tabbies could be contenders in the East, but have strug-

gled in the playoffs. The addition of free agent RB Avon Cobourne could provide the missing ingredient in the post-season.

20-1 Edmonton

Top-to-bottom changes this season will make for a long year for the Green and Gold. Could miss the playoffs.

30-1 Toronto

A solid D got the Argos into the East final last year, but they’ll go no farther without a QB.

50-1 Winnipeg

The Blue Bombers were 4-14 last season, but nine of those losses were by four points or less. A healthy Buck Pierce at quarterback could turn the agony of defeat into the joy of victory, but don’t bet on it.

“First we have to win on Thursday, and then get in the playos and win that playo game, and then we’ll get in the Grey Cup. We take it day by day.â€?

“To me, the only motivation is we didn’t win a Grey Cup last year. To me, that’s enough for the guys that are here.�

Graphic design has become increasingly diverse over the past decade. With new technologies, changing esthetics and evolving design techniques, a graphic designer needs to constantly stay on top of trends and technologies in order to stay relevant and meet the unique needs of their clients.

CDI College’s Graphic Design program trains students to become experts with industr y-standard software like Photoshop and Illustrator, and nurtures creativity to ensure graduates are well prepared for the fast-paced graphic design industry.

Graphic designers have the opportunity to work in a wide variety of positions, from traditional layout or page designer to scientific and medical illustrator.

Well-trained graphic designers can apply their skills to jobs in product packaging, fashion design, company branding and web work.

The industr y looks for graphic designers who can bring their unique prospective to all projects and who are good at multi-tasking. Today, graphic design projects tend to cross several mediums, including print, web and mobile, making the graphic designer’s job all the more challenging.

During the 50-week program at CDI College, students produce a professional portfolio of their work that is critiqued by industr y professionals and their peers.

Portfolios contain samples of the student’s work that display their understanding of conceptualization, design, and more. Upon graduation, students will leave with the confi- dence to show their work to future employers and the skill set to succeed in any graphic design environment.
