Riot hero honoured

Robert Mackay recognized for his selfless action Sous chef tried to stop rioters from smashing storefront windows Despite acclaim, man can’t wait for life to return to normal

Speaking up

Lions tackling violence

MATT KIELTYKA/METRO

He’s a hero, an inspiration and a man who can’t wait to get back to his normal, unassuming life.

Robert Mackay, the man who tried to stop hooligans from smashing up the Bay department store during the Stanley Cup riot, was hailed as all of those things yesterday during a ceremony in his honour. “I’m kind of speechless at the moment,� Mackay said after hearing glowing remarks about him made by politicians, Vancouver police, the Bay and the Great Canadian Gaming executives.

But it wasn’t his words that landed him in the middle of the limelight. It was his actions on June 15.

Mackay, a sous chef at the RiverRock Casino, was caught on video pushing looters away from the storefront that night before a group of rioters surrounded and attacked him.

The video of his selfless act went viral and became a symbol for good in the midst of a dark day in the city’s history.

Vander Zalm decries HST sign vandalism

An altered HST sign.

Fight HST leader Bill Vander Zalm has decried a series of alterations to many campaign signs on Vancouver Island that transformed them into HST endorsements.

“I’m told that the RCMP has already closed the file, which is very sad because this is not so much about signs as it is about democracy,” he said yesterday.

“They’ve made for further confusion. I think that was their intent.”

Vander Zalm said he did not suspect the government or the Smart Tax Alliance. DAVID PROCTOR

Worker dies after fall at Campbell’s vacation home A worker has died after falling through a skylight at the vacation home of former premier Gordon Campbell.

WorkSafeBC and the coroner confirm the man died in hospital at least one day after the fall, July 4, at the property in Halfmoon Bay, on the Sunshine Coast, about 80 kilometres northwest of Vancouver.

The man was working on renovations to the home when the accident occurred. THE CANADIAN PRESS

B.C. Lions head coach Wally Buono gets emotional Thursday at the team’s training facility in Surrey during the launch of a new campaign to fight violence against women.

B.C. Lions tackling violence against women Players to visit 40 high schools and talk to students about healthy, respectful relationships Federal government and province to provide $541,900 and $320,000 in funding for Be More Than a Bystander project PHYLICIA TORREVILLAS

VANCOUVER@METRONEWS.CA

The B.C. Lions are urging people to speak up and break the silence on violence against women.

The Ending Violence Association of B.C. has teamed up with the Canadian Football League franchise for the Be More Than

a Bystander project — launched Thursday at the B.C. Lions training facility in Surrey — which aims to provide people with tools and ideas about how to speak up and not allow abuse of women to continue.

An emotional Wally Buono, GM and head coach of the Lions, choked back tears when he alluded to an

incident in his own home.

“Fortunately for me, I was old enough that I could deal with it on my mother’s behalf,” he said. “I emphasized to the players, these ladies who are being abused, they are our daughters and our mothers.”

Lions players will conduct workshops for students in Grades 8 to 12 and coaches of amateur football

teams over the next two years about healthy relationships and how to be more than a bystander.

“Being able to get into schools will be hugely beneficial (for students) to see us, people who play a violent sport for a living, speaking out against violence in everyday life,” said quarterback Travis Lulay.

“It’ll be a special thing.”

Audit critical of environmental monitoring

Report notes unenforceable language and insufficient compliance monitoring Environmental Assessment Office says it agrees with recommendations CONTRIBUTED

DAVID PROCTOR

VANCOUVER@METRONEWS.CA

B.C. auditor general John Doyle has released a report slamming the provincial Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) for failing to effectively monitor major projects such as mines and tourist resorts to ensure that they are avoiding or mitigating potential environmental damage.

Specifically, the audit criticized the office for setting down requirements that use vague and unenforceable language, including the use of phrases like “as much as possible” instead of “must.”

Doyle also said that the office relies too much on self-reports for ensuring compliance, asserting that they should “not just rely on documents that are coming to them basically

The report included a response from the EAO, which asserted that it agrees with many of the recommendations and has already begun working toward implementing several of them.

“It’s always good when an agency actually agrees with the recommendations,” said Doyle. “It makes us feel a lot better as an audit office, and it

makes future steps go a lot smoother.”

Gwen Barlee, policy director with the wilderness committee, greeted the report warmly.

“This government needs to revamp the Environmental Assessment Office from A to Z,” she said, adding that it’s important “to restore the faith of the B.C. public that this is an office that is more than a rubber-stamping process.”

New Delhi go-getter persists to overcome newcomer hurdles The path to success looked smooth to Avnish Soni and his wife Pinki when they attended a New Delhi seminar about emigrating to Canada. Unfortunately, no one could anticipate the global economic crisis that greeted them in British Columbia in early 2009. Today, through personal persistence – and support from Scotiabank – the couple are progressing towards their goals.

Back at the 2008 seminar sponsored by Scotiabank, the Soni family was excited about moving to Canada. Bank representatives explained ďŹ nancial services to help them get established in their new country, and Avnish, an MBA-trained branch manager at one of India’s largest banks, was excited by the prospect of seeking work at the Canadian bank.

Career-wise, Avnish tells newcomers to stick with their goals, despite the hurdles. “Take a job to put food on the table, but don’t lose focus on what you want to do. Work on your language skills, learn about job market expectations and see how you can add value,� he says.

Perseverance also helps newcomers reach ďŹ nancial goals. “It’s never too early to start a ďŹ nancial plan, and I guide newcomers on ways to start saving for a home or any goal. For my family and me, our journey has just begun, but we’ve got something to aim for and that’s why we came here.â€?

THIS ADVERTORIAL IS PREPARED BY SCOTIABANK. Scotiabank’s Avnish Soni says persistence can help newcomers reach their goals.

“I’m a go-getter and I liked how Scotiabank was proactive in sharing settlement information and pre-arranging banking and credit services,â€? recalls Avnish, referring to the Scotiabank StartRight Program for Newcomers, which includes a free day-to-day bank account for one year , a wide range of VISA card options and a number of other customized services and beneďŹ ts. “I decided to make Canada’s most international bank the ďŹ rst target in my job search.â€?

On arrival in Surrey, BC, the experienced banker was pleasantly surprised when the Scotiabank Branch Manager emerged from his ofďŹ ce to welcome the couple and their two daughters. “I was astonished by the friendly service and how our account and debit cards were waiting for us, as promised in New Delhi,â€? says Avnish, who adds that his unsecured VISA credit card was ready within a week.

While the weak economy challenged the Sonis’ immediate career hopes, the Scotiabank Branch Manager accepted Avnish’s resumĂŠ and offered career tips. Pinki applied her teaching degree as a tutor. “We stayed positive and kept working at it,â€? notes Avnish, who worked odd jobs while he studied for his mutual funds license, joined professional associations and often visited the Scotiabank branch to keep in touch. His determination paid off when 18 months later, he was hired into the Bank training program.

Recently promoted to Senior Personal Banking OfďŹ cer at Scotiabank’s suburban White Rock Branch, Avnish is eager to dispense tips on personal ďŹ nance, government services and career-building. “A newcomer has many fears of the unknown, and my goal is to be their friend who is a banker, showing them how to lower expenses, manage credit and learn how Canada works.â€?

Vancouver duo sure do think they can dance SUBMITTED

Hip-hop dancers compete to win $100,000 Top 22 finalists to perform Monday for Canada’s votes

Musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie (House of a 1000 Corpses) is scheduled to play Roger’s Arena with Slayer Aug. 3.

PHYLICIA TORREVILLAS

ROB ZOMBIE THE HEAVY METAL MAN OF YOUR NIGHTMARES Rob Zombie is bringing his full show to Vancouver in August as part of his Hell on Earth tour with California thrash band Slayer.

Why did you want to direct a Woolite commercial?

Well, I really never thought about it — they approached me ... and I thought, ‘This could be fun’ ... but I was busy and I said no. And then they moved it around. We actually shot it in Vancouver. For two long rainy days.

What is your favourite shirt?

Everyone has a favourite shirt, right? When it comes out of the laundry you always put it on first, and, unfortunately, because of that, it always tends to wear out first. I have this one shirt, it’s Paul McCartney in Wings, it’s just the wings logo.... For some reason, whenever it’s clean, I always put that one on.

@METRONEWS.CA

What haven’t you done in your career yet that you want to do?

Tons and tons of things.

But the thing I always tell people that sounds like I’m joking, but I’m not, is one day I would like to take my first film, House of 1000 Corpses, and turn it into a Broadway musical. Because I think it’s ridiculous enough that it would work.

What is the last job you would want?

Any job. (What I do) is obviously work, and I take it seriously and it takes a lot of time, but I love it and so it doesn’t seem like a job. Any job that I wouldn’t like is a job that I wouldn’t want. There’s nothing worse than watching your life tick away while doing something that you hate.

Hip-hop dancers Teya Wild from North Vancouver, left, and Carlena Britch from Vancouver are the only B.C. representatives competing in this season of So You Think You Can Dance Canada.

A dancing duo from B.C. will be grooving their way to become Canada’s favourite dancer.

Hip-hop dancers Carlena Britch from Vancouver and Teya Wild from North Vancouver are the only B.C. competitors in this year’s So You Think You Can Dance Canada.

Britch, who got called out by judge Luther Brown for making enemies during Finals Week with her bad attitude, said she was scared and shocked about being asked to leave the stage and sent out to sit in a hall to think about her actions.

“Just sitting in that room, I accepted there’s a lot more to making top 20

than just being a great dancer and having a good look,” Britch said. “You need to make sure you’re presenting yourself in the most positive way possible because there’s so many people looking up to you.”

Britch added she’s very thankful she’s been given the chance to be part of the top 22 finalists.

This year’s season will have a lot of emotions, tears and surprises, said Wild, and viewers can expect her to bring it every week to represent Vancouver.

“I hope people can come into my world and relate to the way I dance and move and be inspired,” she added.

Stripping down for a cause People in their skivvies will fill city streets Saturday as hundreds of men and women will be dressed down and running for a cancers-below-the-waist fundraiser.

The sixth annual Underwear Affair features a 10-

kilometre run and a fivekilometre walk. It benefits the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

“People need to be aware that cancer does affect other people,” said Brian Webb, a runner and blogger. “There are prevention programs and a healthy

lifestyle is important.”

For the past two years, Webb has been participating in the Underwear Affair and has actively used his blog to raise awareness, most notably within the LGBT community.

South Sudanese brace for their independence DAVID AZIA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Troops wrap up Afghan mission Canada officially transfers control over to the U.S. 950 of our troops will train Afghan security forces Canada formally ended its combat mission in Afghanistan on Thursday after years of being on the front lines of the fight against Taliban insurgents in the south.

The withdrawal of 2,850 Canadian combat troops comes at a time when the Taliban continue to show their resilience, peace talks are in their infancy and

governance and development are lagging security gains on the battlefield.

Underscoring the persistent dangers, a roadside bomb killed eight Afghan policemen on patrol in the northern district of Fayz Abad.

Northern Afghanistan has seen a rise in violence over the past two years.

“It's safe to say that the

country of Afghanistan remains volatile,” said Defence Minister Peter MacKay. “There have been very hard-fought gains made as far as the stability and security, but it is fragile and much of the responsibility rests, of course, with the government of Afghanistan.”

The people of South Sudan finally get their own country on Saturday, an emotional independence celebration few thought possible during a half century of civil wars and oppression that left more than two million dead.

Military parades and celebrations will burst forth Saturday in front of dozens of visiting world leaders.

But South Sudan must face grim realities: It will be one of the most underdeveloped countries on the planet, only 15 per cent of its citizens can read and fears of renewed conflict abound.

South Sudan’s successful independence drive was

made possible by a 2005 peace deal between Sudan’s north and south. Last January, former guerrilla fighters shed tears as they cast votes to break away from

A court case that could have increased First Nations influence over Yukon mining has supported the existing assessment and regulatory system. The Liard First Nation had asked to suspend a decision that allowed Selwyn Chihong Mining Ltd. to proceed with a project.

Steve Cardiff, 53, died Wednesday when the car he was in hit a truck south of Whitehorse. Cardiff was first elected in 2002 and represented the southern Yukon riding of Mount Lorne for two terms. He planned to run again in the election this fall.

JOE BURBANK, POOL/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Anthony to be freed Sentencing comes 3 years after her daughter was reported missing

Authorities in Florida say Casey Anthony will be freed July 17, not Wednesday as previously announced, based on a recalculation of the time she has served.

The 25-year-old Anthony was acquitted by a jury Tuesday of killing her twoyear-old daughter, Caylee, punctuating a case that captured Americans and bitterly divided many over

whether she got away with murder.

Judge Belvin Perry gave her the maximum sentence of four years for four convictions of lying to authorities. He denied a defence request to combine the misdemeanour counts, which could have made her eligible for immediate release.

Anthony was given credit for the time she has

already served and her good behaviour. Judge Belvin Perry also fined her $1,000 US on each of the four counts.

Before her sentence was announced, the 25-yearold Anthony was animated, smiling and occasionally played with her hair, which was let down for the first time since her trial began in late May. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Final flight looms for original Canadarm Six Canadians who have been in space are on hand as the U.S. shuttle program prepares to blast off on its final flight — but

news only five of them are human.

Among the participants at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla., for the last launch of Shuttle Atlantis is this country’s most famous robot, the Canadarm, which has played a key role in the three-decade shuttle program.

Canadarm is also making its final mission. The

original model of the mechanical limb, designed specifically for the shuttle and first used in 1981, will be retired after its 90th flight. The final launch is scheduled for Friday but rain and lightning around the site have fuelled speculation about delays.

For the next several years all flights — including Canadian Chris Hadfield’s scheduled trip to

the space station in 2012 — will be aboard a Russian Soyuz vessel. Several U.S. companies are developing spacecraft that will service the station and carry astronauts as early as three years from now.

Canadarm 2 is still aboard the space station and will continue being used to capture cargo vessels delivering supplies.

HIGHLIGHTS

Malaysian Man threatened to kill them unless given a gun in tense standoff A machete-wielding man who took 30 children and four teachers hostage for six hours in a Malaysian kindergarten has died after being shot by police, an official said.

None of the captives was harmed during the tense hostage drama Thursday in the southern city of Muar in Johor state.

Muar police Chief Mohammed Nasir Ramli said Loi Hui Chung, 40, died in hospital Thursday, five hours after being shot in the head by a single bullet.

Loi had previously been arrested on drug charges.

Police are probing whether he was the person who attacked children outside two other kindergartens in the past two years.

The officer said Loi was wielding a machete and a

hammer when he barged into the kindergarten early in the morning. Loi forced the hostages to go upstairs in the two-storey building.

Police special forces later managed to enter and were heading up the stairs when Loi attacked them with his weapons and a fire extinguisher. Police had no choice but to shoot Loi, the officer said.

The children, who were between three and five years old, had been heard singing in what was believed to be an attempt to calm Loi, Bernama news agency reported.

The Star newspaper quoted Loi’s sister-in-law, who tried to persuade him to surrender, as saying he was mentally unstable and often talked to himself.

DEFENDING CUBS

Park won’t hunt down the killer grizzly Yellowstone National Park authorities will not try to capture a female grizzly that killed a backcountry hiker because the bruin was trying to defend its cubs when it was surprised by the man, a spokesperson

The mauling of Brian Matayoshi, 57, was a purely defensive act, Al Nash said.

He added that Yellowstone typically does not try to capture or remove a bear in what he called “a wildlife incident.”

It was the first fatal grizzly attack inside the park in 25 years — but the third in the Yellowstone region in a year.

The attack occurred on Wednesday about 2 kilometres up a popular backcountry trail.

Republicans and Democrats unite to hail him at U.S. Capitol MANUEL BALCE CENETA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In a rare show of unity, U.S. Republican and Democratic leaders found a cause to rally around Thursday: their support for the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

The Nobel Peace laureate arrived in Washington this week for an 11-day Buddhist ritual and was invited to the Capitol to meet with leaders of the House of Representatives.

His visit already has drawn criticism from China, which regards the Dalai Lama as a separatist troublemaker.

U.S. lawmakers try to hammer out a deal to avert a default on debt A debt-crisis session among U.S. congressional leaders was “very constructive,” President Barack Obama said on Thursday, but the parties were still far apart in their attempts to avert a default of U.S. financial ob-

The meeting came amid signs the White House was willing to cut spending on benefit programs for the elderly, while Republicans

hinted they might consider new steps to raise revenue.

Such a compromise could see both parties upsetting their political bases before next year’s congressional and presidential elections.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth mentioning BENGHAZI, Libya.

Moammar Gadhafi is loved in Libya’s rebel capital — as a subject for street artists to mock.

Caricatures of the Libyan leader dot walls and buildings across Benghazi in renderings that range from crude sketches to elaborate satire such as Gadhafi being knocked around by a rebel-flagged boot or depicted with a Nazi swastika.

Before Libya’s uprising, even a hint of dissent risked a crushing response from Gadhafi’s security forces. Now, it’s open season on Gadhafi in rebel-held territory.

For some aspiring cartoonists — and others wanting to make their mark — this means getting out their spray paints and markers to display their opposition.

Rida, a 35-year-old barber and interior designer before the rebellion, makes dozens of Gadhafi sketches each day. Some have shown him in a trash can or with his clothes blown off by a U.S. jet fighter.

“I cannot fight with arms, but I can kill him with my pencil,” said Rida.

WEIRD NEWS

Can you teach the same dog new tricks?

A dog that went missing seven years ago will be reunited with her original owner after living for all that time with another family in the same Arkansas town.

Andrew Navarette told animal control officers that he let his Shih Tzu, Mimi, out in the backyard of his Rogers, Ark., home seven years ago, but when he went to retrieve her she had disappeared, the Rogers Morning

News reported Thursday. Navarette was unable to track Mimi down, even though she had a microchip containing his contact information.

Some time later, Kim Rafter of Rogers acquired the animal from someone in good faith, renamed her Gizmo, and has cared for her ever since. Meanwhile, Navarette relocated to Woodlake, Calif.

Last Saturday, Mimi showed up at an animal shelter in Rogers where officials found the chip and called Navarette, who had kept the same cellphone number. Assistant shelter manager Matt Colston said Navarette was excited Mimi had been found and said he would pay for the Shih Tzu to be shipped to his home in California. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

scene Plot synopsis The bosses in this movie make Genghis Khan look like an equal opportunity employer. Jason Bateman works for corporate shark Kevin Spacey. Jason Sudeikis has coke-head Colin Farrell and his combover. Charlie Day works for Jennifer Aniston, a dentist who uses laughing gas as a sex toy. All are stuck in their jobs and fed up with the daily humiliation offered in their workplaces and decide to terminate their bosses — literally.

2 scene Scene in brief

Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman in Horrible Bosses.

Bosses delivers the goods Richard Crouse and Phil Brown agree the premise of Horrible Bosses is a bit tired Despite that, it’s a funny movie that induces pants-wetting laughs

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

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

Richard Crouse: Phil, of course no reasonable person would break into their bosses homes looking for ways to kill them, but this is a comedy so we’ll accept that. Or will we? I thought the movie started off strong, funny and well paced, but its central premise — let’s kill our bosses! — seems forced and it sucks some of the funny from the middle part of the movie. What did you think?

Phil Brown: Richard, I’ve got to go the other way.

The premise of having a terrible boss that makes

your life hell is sadly all too relatable for many, but the opening bad boss gags felt tired even with the R-rated facelift. It didn’t click for me until the murder element turned the movie into a live action cartoon with a sick sense of humour.

RC: Interesting, I felt as though I was watching a funny enough movie marred by a silly premise.

It’s one thing to have some drinks and joke about killing your boss, it’s quite another to act on it. I don’t want to beleaguer this point, but the crucial setup scene to me felt forced, like a weak lead in to a funny punch line. Having said that, Charlie Day

made me laugh. A lot.

PB: The whole premise is old and they even namedropped two movies that did it better (Strangers On A Train and Throw Mamma From The Train). I think we can both agree that things really got rolling in the second half when it deviated from that form. Charlie Day definitely induces pants-wetting laughter consistently and I think the cast made this movie work through an improvisation festival. The only problem is that comedy style kills narrative momentum and there was no real tension in the thriller aspect of the story. Though I suppose the laughs are more important.

RC: And there are plenty of laughs. I don’t want to be Debbie Downer here. The movie is funny. It was cool to see Kevin Spacey revive his character Buddy from Swimming with Sharks, and if this doesn’t wipe away any traces of Rachel left over from Jennifer Aniston’s TV work I don’t know what will. Now, I guess, she’s America’s Foul Mouthed Over Sexed Sweetheart.

PB: In my mind, she always will be. Despite the inconsistencies, Horrible Bosses delivers the goods and will always be the only movie featuring Colin Farrell doing a coked-up Michael Keaton impression with a comb-over.

The website Funny Or Die debuted a Field of Dreams sequel Wednesday.

Twilight star Taylor Lautner plays the equivalent of Kevin Costner in a mock movie trailer that quickly drew more than 150,000 views.

The video, Field of Dreams 2: Lockout, is a riff on the NFL labour negotiations.

The small town in Ed Gass-Donnelly’s drama is a rural Ontario Mennonite community; the murder victim is a teenaged girl left by the side of a lake. The songs, meanwhile, are by the Canadian indie rock band, and they’re blunt, insistent and ultimately kind of enervating — the ideal accompaniment for a film that’s so upfront about its metaphysical agenda. That Peter Stormare is excellent as a cop trying to reconcile his violent past with his dutybound mentality scarcely matters when the filmmaking is so over-deliberate; if Small Town Murder Songs improves on Gass-Donnelly’s first film This Beautiful City, it’s not by much.

Zookeeper Genre: Comedy Director: Frank Coraci Stars: Kevin James, Rosario Dawson 88

Kevin James wanted to make a family movie — one that would be stupendously inoffensive. He has managed to do that with talking animals in way —

amazingly — that isn’t actually as boneheaded as the premise sounds. As a man passionate about his zookeeping job, James’ character gets advice from his talking animals (voiced by the likes of Nick Nolte and Cher) on how to win back an ex.

The Tree Genre: Drama Director: Julie Bertuccelli Stars: Charlotte Gainsbourg, Morgana Davies 888

After the unexpected death of their father, a family begins to imagine the giant fig tree hanging precariously over their Australian house is carrying his spirit. Genuine performances from French star Charlotte Gainsbourg and promising youngster Morgana Davies boost an earnest, heartfelt script that may lose some in its simplicity.

LISTENING FOR THE LOVE OF STEREO’S SOUND SOUND CHECK

ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA

Whilst out walking the faithful bull terrier, the Beatles’ Strawberry Fields Forever came up on shuffle on the iPhone.

Although I’ve heard the song a zillion times, for some reason, I heard the swirl of sounds in a new way.

When it was recorded in late 1966, the concept of stereophonic sound — dividing a recording into left and right channels to create the illusion of spaciousness — was still very new. Eager to explore the possibilities, the Beatles and producer George Martin went

crazy, separating voices, instruments and even different parts of Ringo’s drums between two channels. It must have been pretty thrilling for those lucky enough to have new-fangled stereophonic record players to hear these new sounds bounce between the left and right speakers.

Today, we take stereo for granted, although almost no one knows anything about the technology.

Although attempts at creating a stereo (or binaural) effect go back as far as the late 1800s and were demonstrated repeatedly through the first half of the 20th century, applying the concept to easy-to-use consumer technology proved to be tricky.

An early effort to introduce stereo to connoisseurs of high-fidelity sound came in 1953 with

special vinyl discs with two sets of parallel grooves, one for the left channel and one for the right. Naturally, you needed two needles mounted in a special (and expensive) tone arm.

stereo recordings from magnetic tape into just one groove on a disc.

By the following spring, sales of stereo recordings were in huge demand and musicians, freed from the limitations of monophonic ) recording, began to de-

Michaels lawsuit delayed Bret Michaels’ lawsuit over an accident at the 2009 Tony Awards that the singer claims nearly killed him should be heard in New York where the accident happened, a federal judge has ruled.

It makes more sense for the case — which stems from Michaels being hit in the head by a set piece af-

Combining wine with anything but an empty glass has been called a lot of things — and not all of them pretty.

It’s never bothered the Spanish. Their recipe for warm weather refreshment has survived for centuries as the popular red winebased, Mediterraneanmixer sangria.

While styles vary, you can make your own version using an inexpensive Spanish red or a value-priced, fruit-forward alternative like Hungary’s non-vintage Hungarovin Szekszårdi VÜrÜs KÊkfrankos ($9.68 - $12.79).

Considering the mental and physical challenges faced every day by adults and children alike, eating more fish or supplementing with omega–3s could be a smart way to improve mood and health.

A must-win for both sides Losers of Friday’s game will find themselves in a 0-2 hole to start the season JEFF MCINTOSH/THE CANADIAN PRESS

STAMPS

LIONS

Time: 7:30 p.m., Friday TV: TSN

It’s routine for players to say every football game is important.

Maybe what they mean is there are some losses a team really needs to avoid.

It’s only the second week of the CFL season but already the B.C. Lions and Calgary Stampeders play a game where a loss could have ramifications down the road. The Lions and Stamps are both coming off defeats in the opening week of the season and don’t want to be 0-2 heading into week three.

While getting back to .500 is important for the Lions, veteran cornerback Davis Sanchez likes the idea of putting Calgary in an early hole “It’s huge,” Sanchez said after the Lions went through a brief workout at their practice facility.

“Calgary has already lost a game. If we can get them to 0-2 against us, it might mean a lot come November. It’s two teams that at the end of the day could be fighting for the West championship. It’s important to jump on them now.”

Calgary lost 23-21 to the Toronto Argonauts last week at McMahon Stadium while B.C. fell 30-26 to the Alouettes in Montreal.

The Lions gave up 20 second-quarter points to

B.C.’s J.R. Larose knocks the ball away from Calgary’s Romby Bryant in a pre-season game last month.

the Als but battled back in the second half, outscoring Montreal 16-3.

Sanchez said the Lions defence needs to start strong in the regular-season, home-opening game at Empire Field.

“The offence played pretty well last week but we put them in a bad situation getting down early,” said Sanchez. “There is nothing from an X’s and O’s standpoint we are going to do differently.

“We just have to come out with a little more energy and not be flat coming out of the gate, which I think we were last week.”

The Lions took some undisciplined penalties last week and quarterback Travis Lulay was the victim of several dropped passes.

Lulay said what hurt the most was having drives stall, resulting in Paul McCallum field goals.

“We need to score touchdowns when we get those opportunities down in the red zone,” said Lulay, who threw for 366 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions against the Als. “There was a couple of times we came away with field goals.”

Wally Buono, the Lions

coach and general manager, expects a better performance from his team this week.

“The thing about the early part of the season is you have to work through a lot of different issues,” said Buono, who leads all CFL coaches with 243 victories. “This has been a good week of practice for us.”

During the week, Buono apologized to his players for a decision he made late in last week’s game. Trailing by seven points, and facing a thirdand-five, Buono decided to have McCallum kick a 38-

yard field goal instead of gambling or punting the ball deep.

Montreal scrimmaged at its 35-yard line and ran out the remaining 1:42 to win the game.

The decision has been criticized by callers to radio sports programs and in comments on the Internet.

“I was wrong,” Buono said. “It’s a decision you make.

“At the end of the day, you can’t be afraid to make a decision based on what criticism or praise you are going to get.”

Fan dies after six-metre fall at Texas Rangers game The Texas Rangers say a fan died after falling out of the stands while trying to catch a baseball tossed his way during a game Thursday night.

The Rangers said the man fell about six metres.

“We had a very tragic accident tonight and one of our fans lost their life reaching over the rail trying to get a ball,” team pres-

“As an organization, and as our team members and our staff, we’re very heavy-hearted about this, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.”

TEXAS RANGERS PRESIDENT NOLAN RYAN

ident Nolan Ryan said.

Ryan didn’t get into details about the accident or release the man’s name.

Replays showed the man

falling head-first and landing behind a 4.2-metre-high wall supporting a video board for replays and scores.

The accident occurred in the second inning after Oakland’s Conor Jackson hit a foul ball into left field.

Texas’ Josh Hamilton retrieved it and tossed it into the stands. Replays on Oakland’s television broadcast show the man reaching for the ball before tumbling.

Before the Rangers batted in the second, manager Ron Washington spoke

briefly with one of the umpires.

Former U.S. president George W. Bush was sitting in the front row with Ryan when the accident happened. Ryan left moments later while Bush remained seated.

Ryan said the former president was aware of what was happening.

WEEKEND, JULY 8-10, 2011

Glenn’s gabbing gaffe and thoughts heading into Week 2 “It was Printers who overreacted in a similar situation with the B.C. Lions two seasons ago.

He was released and the former MVP hasn’t been seen since.”

CFL EXTRA POINTS DAN TOTH

VANCOUVER@METRONEWS.CA

Hamilton quarterback Kevin Glenn should take a lesson from Casey Printers, a former MVP whose big mouth and attitude had him punted from the Canadian Football League.

Going public with his displeasure after being pulled out of Hamilton’s seasonopening loss to the

Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Glenn said, “It just felt like a smack in the face.”

It was Printers who overreacted in a similar situation with the B.C. Lions two seasons ago. He was released and the former MVP hasn’t been seen since.

Quarterbacks are supposed to be team leaders, especially when everything goes wrong.

How they react to adversity is just one of the many ways they are evaluated.

Glenn was pulled in favour of backup Quinton Porter with the Tiger-Cats down by four points after the Hamilton starter threw his third pick.

He was back on the field this week, hopefully with a better attitude, taking reps with the Tabbies’ first-team offence as the club prepares for the Edmonton Eskimos.

Buckin’ Tough: If Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans are convinced the team is going nowhere without Buck Pierce at QB this season, they must have been terrified to

see their star get thumped in Week 1. Although Pierce bounced back on his feet, Hamilton linebacker Jamal Johnson hit him so hard it knocked the breath out every Manitoba resident.

Pierce proved he’s a tough dude, but the Bombers need to evaluate their pass protection to keep him on his feet.

Esks’ ace in the hole: The constant recycling of CFL coaches often comes back to bite teams.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are a case in point after the Eskimos exploited the Green Riders’ defensive tendencies in Week 1.

Edmonton offensive co-ordinator Marcus Crandell quarterbacked the Riders and knows the patterns of Riders defensive mastermind Richie Hall, who is back in Regina after two years in Edmonton as head coach. Esks QB Ricky Ray shredded the Riders D in Week 1, going 21-for-27

for 294 yards and three TDs. Kicking crisis in Calgary: Lose an import receiver or running back to injury and you can have a plane full of recruits in town overnight. Lose a Canadian kicker, as the Calgary Stampeders did last week against Toronto, and you really understand pain.

The Stamps are without injured placekicker Rob Maver (leg) this week and have added Rene Paredes, a player so obscure he isn’t even a household name in his own house.

Paredes spent four seasons at Concordia, where he converted 54 of 79 field-goal attempts. The 26-year-old non-import emerged from a pack of kickers the Stamps airlifted into town for a tryout, including CFL veterans Jamie Boreham and Matt Kellett.

Pirates no longer taking on water A year after enduring 105 losses, new manager has turned perennial losers into National League feel-good story JARED WICKERHAM/GETTY IMAGES

One by one, a seemingly endless train of reporters filed into first-year Pirates manager Clint Hurdle’s office Wednesday.

Last season, the afternoon media session for a midweek game against a last-place opponent like Houston might have drawn a handful in this town where the Steelers rule and the Penguins are a marquee attraction.

But it seems like everybody wants to hear what Hurdle has to say these days.

An afterthought for virtually an entire generation, these pesky Pirates were only 11⁄2 games behind the National League Central lead as play began Thursday.

“There’s been a mindset change in this clubhouse and in this organization,” second baseman Neil Walker said. “I think it’s a lot of guys, but Clint Hurdle has come in here and instilled confidence in every single

The Pirates hold the North American major sports record of consecutive losing seasons with 18. They are a win away from clinching their first winning record at the all-star break since 1992.

Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen is congratulated by manager Clint Hurdle earlier this season.

one of us.”

In stark contrast to insipid predecessor John Russell, Hurdle is at his best with an audience. He cracks jokes, but he’s also not afraid to provide a stern hand with his players.

Perhaps no one knows both ends of that this sea-

“The players understand who they’re playing for — the city of Pittsburgh ...

People work hard for their money and they want an effort.”

PIRATES MANAGER CLINT HURDLE

son better than centre-fielder Andrew McCutchen, the team’s best position player.

McCutchen was disci-

plined by Hurdle in May and left out of the lineup for not running out a ball in the dirt after he struck out.

But when McCutchen was a surprising omission for an all-star spot last weekend, Hurdle criticized those involved for the decision.

“That shows one way that he’s supportive and he’s behind us,” McCutchen said. “It feels good to be

able to hear what he had to say and to have that support by saying what he had to say and not really caring (about repercussions).

“That’s the person he is.”

Hurdle has recently spoken of the “joy” this season has brought him. The Texas Rangers’ hitting coach last season — after being fired midway through his eighth season as manager of the Colorado Rockies in 2009 — Hurdle said after a recent victory, “I’ve had a lot of different teams, but this team is an absolute blast to manage.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gemini May 22-June 21 You must earn more or spend less — or maybe you’ll have to do both.

Cancer June 22-July 22 You may feel as if you don’t have a care in the world but today’s cosmic influences may bring you down a bit.

Yesterday’s answer

Fill in the grid, so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1-9. There is no math involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.
