NATHAN DENETTE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Massive pot bust nets $17.5M in plants Collaborating criminal organizations were behind a multimillion-dollar drug operation dismantled by Calgary and Alberta law enforcement agencies.

On Thursday Calgary police and Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) completed an 18-month long investigation into a massive marijuana grow-operation around Calgary.

Nine local marijuana grow-operations, with 13,500 plants and 44 kilograms of harvested buds worth $17.5 million, were shut down and eight people were charged with 80 drug-related crimes.

The accused are said to have posed as legitimate families when renting housing units, even using children and the elderly to appear more convincing.

These grow-operations were located mainly in rental residences with two of them in the OkotoksStrathmore region and the rest in the Calgary area said ALERT Sgt. Tom Hanson.

Police are unsure of the extent of the collaboration between the two organized crime groups, but did note that the loss of $17.5 million would put a dent in the viability of their groups.

“Even Microsoft would be upset by the loss of $17.5 million,” Hanson said.

Police said tenants used falsified IDs during rental agreement process.

Ultimate Fighting Championship action like this fight between Randy Couture, left, and Lyoto Machida is still on track to debut in Calgary someday, despite a highly criticized match earlier this month.

Scrutinized fight won’t hurt Calgary’s rep: UFC ‘Misunderstanding’ led suspended martial artist to compete here She passed out during a chokehold that has led to ref coming under fire JEREMY NOLAIS

@METRONEWS.CA

Calgary’s mixed martial arts community has dodged any damaging blows and is still in line to host an Ultimate Fighting Championship event someday, says a representative with the organization.

This comes following a fight July 8 the Calgary Combative Sports Commission has deemed likely

should not have happened.

Kim Couture, who is under suspension by the New Jersey Athletic Control Board, squared off against Calgary’s Sheila Bird.

Couture became locked in a leg scissor chokehold and passed out. Many MMA enthusiasts criticized the referee for not breaking the submission sooner.

In a statement Thursday, the commission deemed issues surrounding the suspension a

Kim Couture was not seriously injured in the fight.

“misunderstanding.”

“She (Couture) believed the matter had ultimately

resolved,” the statement reads. “This turned out not to be the case.”

Tom Wright, UFC director of Canadian operations, refused to offer opinion on the fight, but said it has not impacted his organization’s relationship with Alberta in any way. “I think the province of Alberta is a great province for our sport,” he said. “I think it’s something where we would like to be there sooner than later.”

New agricultural centre may aid overseas trade JEREMY NOLAIS/METRO

Frank Clisby, an owner of Phoenix Grill, located in the Westhills Shopping Centre, wonders where the customers are during Stampede time.

Stampede tramples profits for some Local eateries see as much as 15 per cent decrease Some offer Stampede deals to keep customers close TODD VAUGHAN

As moths are to flame, so too is business to the Stampede.

Unlike restaurants in the downtown core, however, suburban eateries actually see a decline of sales during a time when Calgary tourism is at an all-time high. “We know our sales will inevitably go down during Stampede,� said Frank Clisby, owner of Phoenix Grill, located in the Westhills Shopping

Centre.

Clisby also said sales usually decline by about 15 per cent, which he attributed to his clientele’s being active members of the community who are often involved with Stampede events.

Frank Atkins, a professor of economics at the

University of Calgary, attributes this decline to issues of location. “For 10 days in July, people leave the suburbs and there’s not much you can do as a coffee shop or bar,� Atkins said.

But some businesses try to keep their customers close to home. “Our regular deals are always cheaper than Stampede prices. We have a good group of regulars, so we do pretty well throughout the week,� said Alyssa Watt, supervisor at Shillelagh’s Pubs, located off 17th avenue S.W.

Development of a new agricultural centre on the Calgary Stampede grounds could aid food chains far from home, says Alberta’s premier.

Ed Stelmach was on hand Thursday at the Stampede’s current agricultural barns to announce the province is putting $25 million towards the Agrium Western Event Centre. “As we build further trade relationships with Asia, over 100 million people moving up the socioeconomic ladder will be demanding betterquality food,� he said. “Where’s it going to come from?

The total cost of the Agrium Western Event Centre project is $60 million.

It will offer competition arena seating for 2,400 as well as meeting, event and exhibition space.

The centre will also feature premium VIP-hosting areas, which the Stampede says are in high demand.

The Stampede has already received $25 million for the centre from the federal government and will fund the remaining $10 million through corporate and philanthropic partnerships.

Determined Filipino family ignores skeptics to succeed in Canada When Erick Alfonso meets immigrants who feel overwhelmed, he gives them hope by telling his own family’s story. In fact, the Manila native and his wife achieved personal success in a remarkably short time, by ignoring skeptics who scoffed at their Canadian dreams.

Erick also gives pep talks on job searches, based on his experience and that of his wife, Maria Rosario, who within a year moved from a temporary accounting job to accounting manager with a local ďŹ rm.

“We didn’t do anything special, but we were determined. By believing in ourselves and supporting each other, we got through each difďŹ culty,â€? says Erick. “It is possible – If you show what you can do, you can build the right connections and open the door to a new life in “They told us that you need Canadian experience Canada.â€? to find a job,â€? recalls the former IT project THIS ADVERTORIAL IS PREPARED BY SCOTIABANK. manager at a Philippine bank. “But we decided to try because we knew it was a good country to raise our kids.â€?

Now working as a Manager of Customer Service at Scotiabank in Calgary, Alberta, Erick remembers how friends discouraged them from migrating to Canada with their ďŹ ve young children.

Now established as a Scotiabank Manager, Erick Alfonso welcomes other new Canadians to his branch.

Upon arrival in Canada in 2006, the Alfonsos discovered that many Filipino compatriots were juggling low paying jobs to survive. While Erick also took a temporary factory job to pay the bills, he refused to give up hope. “A friend told me to open my ďŹ rst bank account at Scotiabank, and the teller was so helpful that I decided to submit my resumĂŠ,â€? recounts Erick.

To his amazement, the branch manager hired him within a month as a casual teller, and two months later, gave him a full-time customer support role. “I was lucky that Scotiabank gave me the chance to prove myself,� notes Erick, who has risen through the ranks and now serves many Asian customers at Calgary’s Castleridge Centre Branch. “I can relate to them because I remember arriving with no bank account and no permanent address.

The Scotiabanker explained everything to me, and I try to do the same for others today.�

For example, Erick recommends the Scotiabank StartRight Program1 for Newcomers, which includes a free day-to-day bank account for one year 2, a wide range of VISA* card options3 and a number of other customized services and benefits. He also provides plenty of ďŹ rst-hand ďŹ nancial advice. ÂŽ

“Since many newcomers arrive with personal savings, I help them invest their savings wisely, including short-term investments such as a TaxFree Savings Account (TFSA), which lets them earn tax-free income that they can access later for other needs,� says Erick.

He also explains the importance of building a Canadian credit history. “Some newcomers are afraid to use a credit card, but I tell them how it can help them achieve other goals if they use it responsibly.�

PARKING RATES HIT A SORE SPOT IN DEFENCE OF ...

MIKE MORRISON METRO CALGARY

Getting parking tickets in Calgary is as normal as accidently breathing in that white fluff or pretending you only ate one bag of minidoughnuts … when you really ate two.

Even with my fair share of tickets, the sting of paying them never goes away.

Mostly because it’s silly to keep giving extraordinary amounts of money to an organization that is so clearly ripping off Calgarians in the first place.

Earlier this week, a Collier’s International report stated that Calgary continued to be Canada’s most expensive city to park, and only second to New York City in North America.

Upon hearing the news, I was so upset that I immediately wanted to pull out what’s left of my few remaining hairs. But why does it feel as if I’m the only one who’s frustrated?

Why aren’t we angrier?

Canada’s Most Expensive Place to Park is not a title that any city should have hanging over its head, and yet no one in Calgary seems to be doing anything about it. You would think that places like Toronto and Vancouver, where’s it’s practically impossible to find a spot to

park, would have to pay more. But it’s our city — with all our land — that’s stuck paying more year after year.

A lot of people might blow off the high prices, saying “It’s Calgary — what are you going to do?”

But, you see, it’s not Calgary. The weird weather: that’s Calgary. Countless one-way streets: that’s Calgary.

Having to pay outrageous amounts of money to park a car, even for a few minutes — that’s not my Calgary. Instead, we’re sitting by and letting one company decide our city’s future. A company so insecure it has to use the word “authority” in its title.

At some point, the parking authority has to let up.

Even the school bully eventually matures and becomes a reasonable human being. I’m not saying that parking should be free. Obviously it’s a business and business is booming.

But at what cost?

The City of Calgary has already taken steps to rein in the parking authority, but it certainly doesn’t seem to be enough to stop the bad press.

So maybe it’s time for Calgarians to say enough is enough. It’s time we realize that we are the reasons this city is so fantastic, and stop letting the parking authority ruin it.

CALGARY@METRONEWS.CA

Encircling the entire city of Calgary with greenery, a few wetlands and resting areas is a step in the right direction, according to Mayor Naheed Nenshi.

Parks Foundation Calgary is the one taking this step with their Greenway pathway, which completed Phase 1 on Thursday.

The main goal of the pathway is to connect people and create a stronger sense of community throughout the city.

“This particular project is going to connect a tremendous amount of people in east Calgary,” said MLA Manmeet Bhullar.

The pathway is currently located on 32 Avenue and Catalina Boulevard Northeast but will eventually surround all of Calgary. The pathway will be 113 kilometres long.

“For our city to succeed, we have to have special places,” said Nenshi.

“We have to have places where people can feel like they belong.”

Heidi Bennett and her family take a bike ride on Phase 1 of the Greenway.

The pathway will have off-leash dog parks, rest areas and family-friendly fitness parks for residents and visitors of the city to use.

Once the pathway is completed, it will connect to every park, pathway and playground in the

city.

The project received over $1 million in funding from the Canadian government and is now in need of $10,000, which PFC expects to raise through soliciting donations from the community.

Connections Over 40 communities and one million people will be connected by the pathway once it is finished.

Those wielding power and influence are more likely to lead a “stressful” life, according to new research on baboons.

Guergis violated ethics code, says watchdog The federal ethics watchdog has found former Ontario MP Helena Guergis broke conflict-ofinterest rules, acting in a way that would further the financial interests of her husband Rahim Jaffer.

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mary

Dawson says Guergis contravened the MPs’ code when she wrote a letter in 2009 to municipal politicians in her riding.

Guergis lost her re-election bid in Simcoe-Grey in the May 2 federal election..

Guergis, a Conservative MP at the time, asked her

town council to consider a pitch by businessman Jim Wright on a waste-management project.

Problem was, her husband had been dealing with Wright.

“I determined that Mr. Jaffer was building a business relationship with Mr.

Wright during the period when Ms. Guergis prepared and sent the letter to Simcoe County officials,’’ Dawson says in her report.

Dawson finds that Guergis violated a section of the MPs’ code that deals with furthering the private in-

terests of a family member, and another that says MPs cannot use their position to influence a decision that might benefit family.

Dawson says she experienced long delays in getting documents she requested from Guergis.

Video by Dugard’s captors released Footage highlights mistakes made in detecting sexual predators NASA technicians were able to recover video from damaged tapes found in trash Prosecutors have released videos recorded by the Northern California couple who abducted Jaycee Dugard and held her captive for nearly two decades, including footage of one of dozens of home searches by a parole officer that never found the kidnapped girl.

The videos recorded by Dugard’s abductors, Phillip and Nancy Garrido, also provide chilling details about the two and their outings to stealthily shoot footage of young girls.

Philippe Truchon, who used Facebook and chat sites to convince adolescent girls to take off their clothes, was handed that penalty at the Montreal courthouse. The sentence was far more lenient than the five years Crown prosecutors has asked for.

Judge Isabelle Rheault called Truchon a manipulator and a liar — but her ruling took into account a pre-sentencing report that said therapy might help him. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The video of a parole officer’s visit shows yet again how the state botched chances to find Dugard as she was kept hidden for 18 years in the backyard of the couple’s home in Antioch, Calif..

Throughout the years, parole officers had paid dozens of visits to the home to check on Phillip Garrido and give him drug tests, but none of the officials reported any irregularities.

The video, first aired Sunday by ABC News, was taken by Nancy Garrido between 2000 and 2007.

The apparent scorchedearth policy emerged as a 40-country group, which includes Canada, prepared to meet Friday in Turkey to plot strategy amid a stalemate between pro- and anti-Gadhafi forces.

ies and other aspects,” Bouchard said Thursday in a conference call from Naples, Italy. The general did not offer details.

“This is a leader that will not hesitate to kill his own population to achieve his personal goals,” said Bouchard.

“Let’s be clear: just because Gadhafi has given a direction, it does not mean that direction is being undertaken by his own troops.”

Bouchard noted that Gadhafi’s troops are abandoning their posts regularly.

Bouchard said Gadhafi maintains a tight grip on the capital, Tripoli. His security forces continue to keep the population down, and the NATO mission is trying to protect them.

New hope for U.S. debt-ceiling deal CHARLES DHARAPAK/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Senate leaders discuss fallback plan as crisis talks continue Same day Wall Street warns of catastrophe The top Democrat and Republican in the U.S. Senate are constructing a legislative detour for President Barack Obama, a path around the bitter partisan divide over raising the American debt limit and avoiding a U.S. default on its spiralling debt.

Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, and Sen. Mitch McConnell, the top Republican, are at work on a

legislative manoeuvre that would give Obama the power to raise the debt limit unilaterally.

That would sidestep the seemingly intractable impasse in White House talks that have failed now in five sessions to find an agreement with Republicans in the House of Representatives who are demanding dramatic spending cuts but are refusing Obama’s insistence that tax loopholes al-

The flipside: Recent years have been riddled with political unrest, ecological catastroMIKE BENHAIM phes and trends of increasMETRO ing inhumanity, and there are still millions without the most basic nourishment and shelter.

Consequently, the new Harry Potter movie already has $32 million in advance ticket sales, but to put things into perspective... it’s in 3-D. Cotton-eyed Joes: It’s Calgary Stampede time again, and everyone’s flocking to Southern Alberta for some rodeo, clogging and deep-fried culinary concoctions. Take that, America. You’re not the only ones with crazy cowboys and country music.

Goliath falls ... on his wallet: One of my favourite ‘80s comedies is Trading Places.

Specifically, when Eddy Murphy and Dan Aykroyd bankrupt their ruthless employers, The Dukes. Recognition of this Karmic retribution sends the Dukes into a meltdown, turning on each other and everyone who once feared and revered them, as one collapses into cardiac arrest, while the other, frothing at the mouth, commences a stroke, yelling, “How could they do this to us? We’re ruined!” Anyone else thinking of Rupert Murdoch right now?

Need a P?: Lindsay Lohan stood proud last week as the results of her drug tests finally came back negative. Yay! Tests also revealed that she has the healthy testicles of a 12-year-old Mexican boy.

Berry picking: I am forbidden from commenting due to my own personal history with Halle, but I will say this: What kind of world do we live in when a writer can’t enjoy a peaceful dinner in a tree outside a celebrity’s window with binoculars and a camcorder, without her getting all creeped out?

Geez. Get over yourself, lady.

Canada’s got imagination: Ever notice that none of the judges on America’s Got Talent are actually American? I mean, if they “got talent,” how come they don’t “got judges”? In any case, whenever the U.S. has a hit, Canada likes to have its own, less profitable version, hence Citytv’s presentation of Canada’s Got Talent. CGT will hold auditions this fall for illusionists, acrobats, ventriloquists, rejects from Canadian Idol and So You Think You Can Dance, or anyone who enjoys repeated public disgrace.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth Mentioning GAGGED. Even one of on-

line video’s biggest stars isn’t immune to copyright claims.

Lady Gaga’s YouTube account was suspended Thursday. The notice read that the suspension was due to “multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s copyright policy.”

The Google Inc.-owned YouTube declined to comment. It’s YouTube policy to remove accounts after three copyright violations, though they can be restored after being corrected.

Reports have suggested that the infringing video was a recently uploaded clip of Gaga’s performance on Fuji TV. The account, “ladygagaofficial,” is one of two for Gaga. The removed channel is run by Gaga’s camp, while she also has an unaffected Vevo account.

The Vevo account, which has more than 1.6 billion views, generally debuts her music videos.

Co-owned by Universal Music Group and Sony Entertainment, Vevo is a music-video platform that also distributes videos on YouTube.

The suspension is expected to be temporary.

WEIRD NEWS

Replace the gym with 20 litres of wine Scientists have discovered that resveratrol, a natural substance found in grapes and wine can reverse the negative effects of zero gravity in rats.

Why should you care if you are not an astronaut?

“We feel the resveratrol would be a good way to prevent the effects of physical inactivity for people who cannot undergo regular activity,” Dr. Stéphane Blanc said.

For the experiment, two groups of rats were suspended by their tails, to create the effect of zero gravity. One group was given daily 400-milligramper-kilogram supplements of resveratrol, the others were given nothing.

The scientists initially tested the rats to see whether the resveratrol was able to prevent loss of muscle mass. It was. They then looked at its effect on muscle metabolism. It was positive. After further tests the team found the same dosage of resveratrol had positive effects on bone density and insulin resistance, a cause of diabetes.

According to Blanc, the average person would have to drink 20 litres of wine for the equivalent of one reservatrol supplement given to the rats.

Daniel Radcliffe and Ralph Fiennes star in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Best Potter movie yet Richard Crouse and Phil Brown agree the franchise finale is completely satisfying Creepy villains Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman steal the show

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Richard Crouse: Mark, the decision to break the final Potter book into two movies was criticized as a money grab, just a cheap way to get a few extra dollars out of Potterheads before the franchise ends.

But I have to tell you I think they made the right move. The movie is completely satisfying, with a well told story and great action scenes. What did you think?

Mark Breslin: Yes, Richard, you’re right. The movie is completely satisfying. But I think it’s at the expense of the movie that preceded it, which I found inert and talky; the worst of the franchise. But this

one felt like a thrilling send-off to characters we’ve grown to love, with some great action set pieces thrown in for good measure.

RC: This is as close to an all-out action movie as there is in the Potter series. Harry’s Horcrux hunt (say that three times fast!) takes up much of the movie leading up to some major revelations, an existential train station scene and a heartwarming conclusion, but along the way it’s an exciting ride. A small quibble though. What did you think of the 3D? It didn’t add much to the experience for me.

Check Theatre Directory or harrypotterandthedeathlyhallowsmovie.ca for Locations and Showtimes

MB: The best thing I can say about the 3D is that it was unobtrusive, letting us pay attention to the complex plotting. But I think the movie, unlike most in the series, doesn’t work as a standalone film. It would make little sense if you haven’t seen the last few installments. And fans of Ralph Fiennes’ Voldemort won’t be disappointed — he’s as creepy a villain as you can imagine, with lots of screen time. By the way, I did try saying Harry’s Horcrux Hunt and was kicked out of the restaurant I was in.

Don’t call it a rom-com

Actors Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis say their new film Friends with Benefits is more of a buddy comedy NED EHRBAR

MWN IN HOLLYWOOD

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis want people talking about their new movie, Friends with Benefits. Just don’t call it a romantic comedy.

“We always thought of it more as comedy than a romantic comedy,” says Kunis. “If anything, it was a two-hander — a buddy comedy with a little romance in it. Because you care about the characters and you watch the characters fall in love, but it’s not your stereotypical romantic comedy.”

Timberlake is on the same page about the film, about two love-weary friends who embark on a sexual relationship with-

out all that messy romance stuff. “I don’t know that we’ve ever treated it like a romantic comedy or a slacker comedy. To me, funny is funny and not funny is not funny,” he says. “And so we just wanted to find the funny in all these situations, and that’s how we treated this.”

Friends with Benefits marks a major milestone for both Timberlake and Kunis, as it’s the first time either has top-lined a film, though they’ve both received positive reviews for supporting turns in the Social Network and Bad Teacher in Timberlake’s case, and Black Swan and Forgetting Sarah Marshall in Kunis’.

Still, taking the lead has to come with new pres-

sures, but Timberlake insists they’re quickly pushed aside. “We deal with those demons before we sign contracts. After you commit to the movie, you have to let all that stuff go,” he says, though he admits having Kunis along for the ride was a huge help.

“That was a little bit of a comfort, knowing that you were going to be sharing the bill and the comedy and the whole movie with a counterpart,” he adds.

“There’s never a moment in this movie where it’s just one of us out there by ourselves.”

If the premise of Friends with Benefits sounds more than a little familiar, that’s because it’s not the first movie this year to tackle

Winnie the Pooh Genre: Family Director: Stephen Anderson, Don Hall 8811

Pooh Bear’s latest bigscreen adventure, simply titled Winnie the Pooh, goes back to the source for its inspiration, weaving together six chapters

of Milne’s stories to form one satisfying whole.

Directors Stephen Anderson and Don Hall have wisely updated the story — the pace is snappier than the classic 1960’s cartoons — but kept the elements that have made Pooh an indispensable character for the under-

10 crowd. The gentle humour is in place, along with the beautiful watercolour backgrounds and the voices so connected to the series (they’re done by different people now, but are true to the style established by Walt Disney himself).

Actor Robert Pattinson takes pictures with fans at the premiere of Water For Elephants on April 17 in New York.

Groupies in a frenzy for tidbit on star’s whereabouts fFor many of Robert Pattinson’s most ardent Canadian fans, the summer of 2011 is better known as hunting season.

With the British heartthrob based in Toronto for his shoot on the David Cronenberg thriller Cosmopolis, devotees have been in a frenzy trying to suss out what they can about his comings and goings.

The Twilight star, who typically draws hundreds of squealing fans to red carpet appearances and fan conventions, arrived in town several weeks ago to star in

the big screen adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel.

“I just want to see him ... a glimpse of him would send me off to heaven,” a fan who identifies herself as Myra Munir wrote in an online plea for information at the website On Location Vacations.

Those looking for tips on where to stalk stars usually go online, where it’s become increasingly easy to find details on celebrity work schedules, party hangouts and even accommodations, says security expert Adrianne

Fekete-Romanick.

“There’s so many blogs and interactive websites and social networks that give you so much information, very little is kept private these days,” says Fekete-Romanick, director and owner of Star Quality Enterprises, which handles security for Toronto film shoots.

Most filming for Cosmopolis — which co-stars Paul Giamatti, Jay Baruchel and Juliette Binoche — has taken place undercover at an east-end studio.

WEEKEND, JULY 15-17, 2011

BILL RECORDS/NBC

Lights about to dim on Friday Nights With clear eyes and full hearts, cast members reflect on five seasons of Friday Night Lights On Friday, the small-town Texas drama Friday Night Lights will end its five-season run as one of the finest, most humanistic shows on television.

Though never a ratings success, the show gradually found a fervent following.

Shot on location around Austin, Texas, and in a collaborative and improvisational style, FNL will be particularly remembered for its naturalism.

Instead of elaborate sets and rigid blocking, scenes were typically captured by three cameras following the action of the many characters of Dillon, a football-obsessed town anchored by the

moral centres of coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) and guidance counsellor Tami Taylor (Connie Britton).

On a show largely about community, the making of FNL, too, was a kind of community.

Though much of the cast came and went throughout the show’s run as characters graduated from high school and moved on, FNL was its own family.

The final season already aired on Global, coming nearly a year after FNL wrapped.

To mark the end, the close-knit cast of Friday Night Lights talk about their experience with the show. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Looking back at FNL Connie Britton (Tami Taylor) “It’s been almost a year, and I still miss it. I’m still sort of getting used to life without Friday Night Lights. It was such great experience and such a unique one. I feel like my life was forever changed by it.”

Michael B. Jordan (Vince Howard) “One of the first people I met down there was Brad Leland (Buddy Garrity).

I walked into a Mexican restaurant and I went over and introduced myself to him.

I said, ‘You might not know who I am, but I’m playing x, y, z on the show.’

He said, ‘Michael. Michael, listen to me, Michael. This is something that you’ll never, ever, ever forget. You’re part of something special. And you just wait until you go to set on Monday and you’ll find out for yourself, because I can’t tell it with any justice.’

That was the first welcoming I got and he didn’t speak one false word. Everything he said was true.”

Taylor Kitsch (Tim Riggins) “I based a lot of Riggins’ look off of Gary Oldman in State of Grace. His long hair, his grease.

On the pilot and once we got picked up, I’m sitting in the makeup and hair (department) and I’m like, ‘Nope, more. Nope, more.’

They were like, ‘Really? Are you serious?’ And I was like, ‘Yes. This cat, this is who he is.’ It became this whole over-exposed deal about his hair.”

It’s all about the football: FNL cast members Matt Lauria, left, as Luke Cafferty, Grey Damon as Hastings Ruckle and Jurnee Smollett as Jess Merriweather.

Scene in brief Blake loves NYC, Odd Future BACK AGAIN. James Blake loves New York. No, really. Beyond the cliche, the singer-songwriter has a

thing for the Big Apple.

“It’s very quickly becoming my favourite place.”

It makes sense, then, that he’s performing there again after playing NYC just two months ago.

And he’s excited to check out some of the other acts.

“There are some people

I’m really excited to see. I was fascinated by Odd Future at SXSW. To me, it looked like that festival kind of broke them. They did really well to show people what they can do. I saw them twice. The second time it took me a while to get in.

SOUND CHECK

ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA

As I stood watching U2 play the 105th of 111 shows on their 360 Tour, all I kept thinking was “Now what?”

No tour has sold more tickets or grossed this much money. Every single show throughout the seven legs has sold out — this despite a million tickets having been thrown into disarray by Bono’s back injury last year. By the time it comes to an end in Moncton, on the 30th, the total box office take will be somewhere around $700 million.

So I ask again: Now what?

Everyone in the industry that I’ve heard from — including the mysterious Arthur Foegel of Live Nation, the Canadian mastermind behind this tour and mega-tours by Madonna, the Police, David Bowie and other superstars — acknowledges that there isn’t another act on the planet capable of duplicating what U2 has done.

Even the U2 organization itself can’t imagine anything bigger or more successful.

Why? After 35 years, U2 remains a working rock ’n’ roll band that still can release albums and

have them go platinum around the world. Their catalogue is so deep that it spans generations of fans.

Everyone goes to the shows because they love different parts of that catalogue. Tours are global events that attract heads of state. (When I saw the show in Moscow last summer, Mikhail Gorbachev was in the stands behind me.)

There’s just not another act with U2’s musical firepower or financial backing. There isn’t another band capable of raising the start-up capital for staging a tour as big as 360. U2 and their people had to spend upwards of $150 million before a single ticket was sold. The three Claw stages alone cost $35 million each.

Their construction is so sophisticated that bidders from four continents want to buy them for conversion into permanent concert pavilions.

In the current musical environment, I can’t see anyone ever outdoing this U2 tour. The Rolling Stones? They might come close, but they’d have to play more shows — and at their ages, that would be tough.

I may just have to fly to Moncton to see that final show. Not because I want to see U2 again but because once the lights go down at the end of the set, I fear that we will never, ever see the likes of a rock ’n’ roll show on this scale ever again.

Miranda Kerr names her kid after dead ex Actress gets permission from Bloom to name the baby after her first love

ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

Miranda Kerr named her and Orlando Bloom’s son in part after a deceased exboyfriend, she tells Australia’s Daily Telegraph.

One of baby Flynn’s middle names, Christopher, was chosen in honour of Kerr’s first boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook, who died in a car accident as a teenager.

“Chris and I had been dating for two years,” she says. “After he died, I wrote him a letter that said I hoped to name my first child after him in some way. I told Orlando and he was the one who said he’d be happy to do that. Orlando’s a good guy.”

The baby’s full name is Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom.

Hugh Grant was originally motivated to expose the News of the World phone-hacking scandal because he himself had been hacked, he says a larger sense of outrage quickly took over, according to People magazine.

“I don’t think I would be on a crusade if it weren’t for the fact that they were winked at by the police, and winked at by our government,” Grant says in a lengthy interview with the magazine.

food Ideal grilling season grapes PETER ROCKWELL LIQUIDASSETS@EASTLINK.CA TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY

Though I don’t work magic in the kitchen as much as I used to, I’m still a cookbook fan.

Culinary text and images never fail to inspire me to nag my wife to recreate whatever catches my eye.

One of my favourite recent releases is Jeff Potter’s Cooking For Geeks (O’Reilly, $43.99): A macho tome that reads more like an issue of Popular Science than an artsy Gordon Ramsay creation.

Potter takes the MythBusters route by explaining the ins and out of everything from baking bread to making things melt in weird ways in what ends up as a fascinating read. But experimenting with Potter may have to wait until after barbecue season: The few months when I can hold up my end of meal creation.

One of my fave grilling grapes is zinfandel and the 2008 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin ($16.95 $19.99) is a mocha-meetsdeep berry wonder that rocks everything from cuts of beef to burgers. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS

These Pork Chops with Yuzu-Miso Marinade are marinated in miso overnight for two reasons.

First, it takes time for the pork to absorb the miso flavour. Second, it gives the active bacteria culture in miso time to tenderize the meat. The result is tender, lip-smacking chops with a pleasing touch of heat from yuzu kosho.

Master the grill

Master the grill with tips and trade secrets.

1. Trim excess fat from meat before grilling to help reduce flare-ups.

2. Always brush barbecue sauce on food towards the end of cooking to prevent sugars from burning.

3. Never pierce meat with a fork to flip it on the grill. This releases juices making it less moist.

Preparation:

1

Mix miso, sake, mirin, yuzu kosho, scallions, and sesame oil in bowl to make marinade. Pour three-fourths of marinade into baking dish or rimmed sheet

Ingredients: • 1/4 cup red miso • 1 tablespoon sake • 1 tablespoon mirin • 2 teaspoons red yuzu kosho • 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (white and green parts) • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 11/2 pounds)

Stampede grounds have four major beer gardens Spokesperson Jennifer Booth says volume of people at each beer garden varies depending on time of day and weather She says the Western Oasis Wine Gardens in the BMO Centre is one of the ‘hidden gems’ of the Stampede grounds ‘All the beer gardens are a blast,’ says Booth TEXT KATIE TURNER PHOTOS CANDICE WARD

There’s a whole lot

Brewin’ Kelly McCartney prepares to pour a glass of beer through the Bottoms Up machine, which uses magnets to fill each glass for the perfect pour. This machine is located on the tarmac of the grandstand at the Stampede grounds.

NASHVILLE NORTH: LOCATED NEAR THE GRANDSTAND STADIUM, NEAR THE CENTRE OF THE STAMPEDE GROUNDS

As the most popular drinking destination on the Stampede grounds, Nashville North is known for its live country music entertainment and, of course, its long lines.

Capacity: Nashville North can hold 1,800 people at a time, but on busy days, more than 7,500 people can pass through the

doors.

Atmosphere: With live

country music and a large dance floor, Nashville North is the best beer garden in which to two-step.

Beer prices: $6.75 per can.

Best time of day to come: The headliner acts at Nashville North take the stage at 9 p.m., but come before 4 p.m. to avoid major lines.

BUD BIG RIG: LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STAMPEDE GROUNDS, NEAR THE INDIAN VILLAGE ENTRANCE

This beer garden is just as it sounds: A large Budweiser rig decked out with a bar and even a rooftop patio area. There are plenty of tables at which to sit and enjoy the summer weather.

Capacity: The Bud Big Rig can hold a maximum of 536 people.

Atmosphere: Basketball

hoops and Amp Radio’s Top 40 music makes for an upbeat environment, while the proximity to the Elbow River adds to the scenery.

Beer prices: Bud and Bud Light at $6.75 per can.

Best time of day to come: With plenty of shade, this is a good spot to stop for a mid-afternoon beer.

BUD LIGHT BEER GARDENS: LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE PLUS 15, JUST WEST OF THE SADDLEDOME

Often referred to as the CJAY 92 beer gardens, this area is a good spot to take a break from the midway madness.

Capacity: The Bud Light Beer Gardens can hold a total of 415 Stampede-goers.

Atmosphere: Rock music played by CJAY 92 may cater to the older crowd

who would rather avoid pop music and the crowds that come with live performances at other venues.

Beer prices: $6.75 per can; Bud Lime at $7.25 per can.

Best time of day to come: This is the best spot to enjoy a beer with your corndog during the lunch hour.

CANTINA: LOCATED JUST OUTSIDE THE BMO CENTRE, ADJACENT TO THE COCA-COLA STAGE

The Cantina has the best of both worlds with indoor and outdoor space. “The Cantina will definitely be busiest during Coca-Cola Stage concerts because it’s just on the edge of the Coca-Cola Stage,” said Booth.

Capacity: The Cantina can hold 120 people inside and 325 on the patio outside.

Atmosphere: With its close

proximity to the Coca-Cola stage, the Cantina is the

best spot for music lovers to hang out.

Beer prices: Kokanee and Bud Light at $6.75 per can; Keiths and Bud Lime at $7.25/can.

Best time of day to come: The Coca-Cola Stage has entertainment throughout the day, but the headliner acts begin between 9 and 9:30 nightly.

Stampede Queen, 2 Princesses and Indian Princess crowned annually KATIE TURNER

Join the fun

@METRONEWS.CA

Arlene Weidner, left, was Stampede Princess in 1968.

TALKING WITH â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ROYALTYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Arlene Weidner has been serving as a volunteer with the Calgary Stampede for more than 40 years. She was crowned as one of the Stampede Princesses in 1968 and soon after began volunteering with the royalty alumni group. She is now the chair of the Queens Alumni committee.

How did you become the Stampede Princess in 1968?

I was asked to consider running by someone I had known just through being involved in horses.... He asked me to run

and I did, and it worked out extremely well. I had a wonderful year.

What was that year like when you served as one of the princesses?

In 1968, I was also graduating from the first class of nursing at the Foothills Hospital, so I actually had my nursing books with me at the (Fairmont) Palliser while we were there for Stampede week.... I think we had over 400 engagements over the course of the year.

From left, Calgary Stampede Princess Whitney Wilkie, Queen Jenna Lambert, Princess Stephanie Gray and Indian Princess Eva Meguinis oďŹ&#x20AC;er tips Thursday on how to act like royalty at the Stampede grounds.

Despite jam-packed schedules, the Stampede royalty manage to keep it classy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even while riding a horse.

Stampede Queen Jenna Lambert, Princesses Whitney Wilkie and Stephanie Gray, and Indian Princess Eva Meguinis offered some tips for acting like royalty during Stampede. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always say hi to everybody and make sure everyone is appreciated,â&#x20AC;?

Meguinis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smile and keep it together, even when things get tough.â&#x20AC;?

Wilkie said allowing your personality to shine through will make you more memorable to people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be yourself,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Applications for the 201112 Stampede Queen and Princesses are officially open.

Next year will be the Stampedeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centennial celebration.

While many visitors partake in alcohol over the 10 days of festivities, the Stampede girls donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to drink to come to Stampede,â&#x20AC;?

Gray said.

As a queen, Lambert said wardrobe is important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making sure you have a good hat is always a sign of a classy cowboy or cowgirl.

Creased jeans are always a good sign,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Her final word of advice? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep it classy, Calgary.â&#x20AC;?

EMS TIPS

Prepare to beat the heat An increase in call volume is a given over Stampede week, according to EMS public-information officer Stuart Brideaux. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We automatically add extra trucks during the 10 days of the Stampede,â&#x20AC;? said Brideaux. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do see sometimes an increase in the

volume of the calls involving violence, unfortunately, when there are more events where alcohol is available.â&#x20AC;?

In terms of taking precautions on the Stampede grounds, Brideaux suggests being mindful of the weather and preparing for hot, sunny days, as is the forecast for this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the grounds itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all pavement, so the heat tends to increase or reflect off that pavement and it can feel even hotter.â&#x20AC;?

TREVOR HAGAN/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Judge tosses Clemens’ perjury trial Almost as soon as it began, former baseball star Roger Clemens’ perjury trial ended Thursday — in a mistrial the judge blamed on prosecutors and said a “first-year law student” would have known to avoid.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton called a halt to the trial after prosecutors showed jurors evidence that he had ruled out — videotaped revelations that former teammate Andy Pettitte had said he’d told his wife Clemens confessed to using a drug.

Walton scolded prosecutors and said he couldn’t let the former all-star pitcher face prison if convicted on such “extremely prejudicial” evidence.

“Mr. Clemens has to get a fair trial,” Walton said. “In my view, he can’t get it now.”

Defence lawyer Rusty Hardin, who had asked for the mistrial declaration, patted an unsmiling Clemens on the back as the judge announced his decision. As he left the courthouse, Clemens did not comment but accepted hugs from a couple of court workers and shook hands with the security guards.

Walton said he would hold a hearing Sept. 2 to decide whether Clemens should face another trial.

Walton could end the prosecution by declaring that a new trial would run afoul of double jeopardy — the right not to be brought to trial twice on the same charges for the same offence. But experts said it was unlikely that he would go that far, especially since the trial was just under way.

Calgary’s Henry Burris scrambles without a helmet in Winnipeg on Thursday night.

Stamps trample Bombers with second half comeback Calgary hands Winnipeg first loss of season after trailing by ten Defensive back Keon Raymond had a 66-yard interception return for a touchdown and a timely fumble recovery to help the Calgary Stampeders defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 21-20 Thursday night.

Bomber quarterback Buck Pierce didn’t play in the second half because of an injury to the quadriceps muscle in his left leg. He was replaced by Joey Elliott.

Winnipeg looked like it would be adding to a 20-14 lead with less than five minutes to play, but a fumble turned the tide.

The Bombers were at

Raymond then raced down to Winnipeg’s 31yard line before Elliott

stopped him.

Stamps quarterback Henry Burris threw a fiveyard touchdown pass to Ken-Yon Rambo at 12:01 to take the 21-20 lead in front of 27,890 fans at Canad Inns Stadium.

Bomber placekicker Justin Palardy attempted a 44-yard field goal into the wind with 24 seconds left, but it went wide.

The victory improved Calgary’s record to 2-1 and gave Winnipeg (2-1) its first loss of the season.

Pierce left the game at halftime after completing 9 of 16 passes for 149 yards with two interceptions and one touchdown throw to

Terrence Edwards.

Elliott was 10 of 18 for 87 yards.

Burris completed 17 of 32 passes for 183 yards, one TD and no interceptions.

Winnipeg scored its touchdowns off a 49-yard catch-and-run play by Edwards and a one-yard run by quarterback Alex Brink.

Palardy booted a 34-yard field goal and punter Mike Renaud had a single.

The Calgary Flames resigned defenceman Brendan Mikkelson to a one-year deal Thursday.

Mikkelson had just one assist in 19 games with Calgary last season after the Flames claimed him off waivers from Anaheim in October.

The six-foot-two, 202pounder’s two-way deal is worth $721,900 US.

Mikkelson, 24, has six assists in 86 career NHL games since being drafted 31st overall by the Ducks in the 2005 draft.

The Flames also signed Max Reinhart to a threeyear entry-level deal.

Reinhart had 34 goals and 45 assists with the WHL champion Kootenay Ice last season.

Calvillo’s greatness becoming unquestionable CRAIG KLEM/ALLSPORT

CFL EXTRA POINTS DAN TOTH

CALGARY@METRONEWS.CA

The debate over Anthony Calvillo’s place in CFL history has started, even though the sensational quarterback is a long way from finished.

Detractors argue that although A.C.’s career numbers make him appear to be the best QB in CFL history, the Als star is just a capable player who profits from playing on great teams.

Plenty of CFL followers will tell you Calvillo’s not as talented as Doug Flutie, Ron Lan-

caster, Jeff Garcia, Warren Moon, etc.

The 39-year-old Calvillo last week tied Damon Allen’s all-time CFL record of 394 touchdown passes when he threw for five majors in Montreal’s win over Saskatchewan.

While Calvillo might not be your first choice if you were starting an expansion team, he’s more than just a decent QB who was lucky to land with a great franchise.

Not only does Calvillo own three Grey Cup rings with the Als, he’s also on course to establishing a new record for career passing yards before season’s end. And don’t be surprised if he caps that off with a fourth Grey Cup ring.

Dunigan’s head still in the game: Not long ago, a player suffer-

Anthony Calvillo, shown here during the 2000 Grey Cup, has been consistent throughout his career. Now he’s challenging for some of the CFL’s most coveted records.

ing a mild concussion was said to have “had his bell rung” and would often return to the game with little consideration for future effects.

Recent advances in science and a more humane approach to player health have made brain injury research a priority.

CFL Hall of Famer Matt Dunigan sat down with the CFL on TSN’s Brian Williams last week to reveal his own personal fight with head injuries and post-concussion syndrome and how concussions have affected his life.

Despite retiring 15 years ago, Dunigan is still affected by the dozen concussions he suffered during his stellar career.

Dunigan will donate his brain to concussion research in hopes that “they’ll be

able to advance the science and understanding of concussions and brain injuries to help others.”

Toothless Lions: B.C. Lions head coach/general manager Wally Buono said it best.

“It’s very ugly,” he said. “It’s sickening.”

Buono was referring to the video of Lions defensive back Stanley Franks’ gruesome knee injury, but he could have just as easily been talking about the Leo’s 0-2 start to the CFL season.

Franks was taken off the field on a cart, and the initial diagnosis is a severe dislocation of the knee. Now Buono has another headache. In addition to his team’s slow start, Buono now has to make adjustments in his secondary when the 0-2 Lions face Ricky Ray and the 2-0 Edmonton Eskimos Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium.

Amateur leads pack at British Open Lewis first amateur to lead round at a major since 1976

‘He could be my grandson,’ says playing partner Watson PETER MORRISON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tom Lewis shares a name with one of the British Open’s greatest champions.

The kid sure lived up to it Thursday.

Lewis, a 20-year-old amateur, shot a 5-under 65 to share the lead after the opening round of golf’s oldest major — a day that was even more special because he played alongside the man he was named after: five-time British Open champion Tom Watson.

“I was more nervous not to embarrass myself in front of him,” Lewis said.

No worries there. Lewis pulled off some Watsonlike shots at Royal St. George’s, making four straight birdies coming down the stretch before a par-saving tap-in at the 18th left him tied with Thomas Bjorn.

Amateur elite Tom Lewis posted the lowest round ever for an amateur at the British Open.

His score of 65 beats the 66s posted by Frank Stranahan in 1950, Tiger Woods’ in 1996 and Justin Rose in 1998.

England’s Tom Lewis shoots out of the bunker on the 6th hole on Thursday.

“I just had to smile inside watching him play,” said the 61-year-old Watson, who needed seven more strokes than his namesake to get around the course.

“I didn’t play particularly well myself, but I certainly was impressed by the way he played.”

Lewis’s late-afternoon charge was definitely impressive, but it didn’t total-

ly overshadow an earlymorning round by Bjorn, who was playing at this course on the English seaside for the first time since his meltdown in the 2003 Open.

That year he threw away a two-stroke lead on the final three holes — he needed three swings just to escape the bunker at No. 16 — and allowed Ben Curtis to snatch away the claret jug with one of the sport’s most shocking upsets.

Two very different players.

Two hugely compelling stories atop the leaderboard.

“I’m 40 years old,” Bjorn

said, “and there might just be a little bit more in me.”

U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy got off to a sluggish start but was still in the mix, putting up a 71 that left him six strokes back.

Considering he played in the morning, when conditions were tougher, McIlroy had no complaints about a round that began with two bogeys on the first three holes.

“It was a day where you just needed to grind out a score,” McIlroy said. “Anywhere around even par was a good start.”

In the afternoon, the gusting breezes off the Strait of Dover died down and the rain held off, resulting in about twice as many rounds in the 60s as the morning starters put up. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Aries March 21-April 20

Yesterday’s answer

Leo July 23-Aug.23 If you don’t take what happens today too seriously it won’t hurt you too much.

Virgo Aug. 24- Sept. 22 Today’s full moon urges you to team up with a friend or colleague and spread the load you carry.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23 You will have to deal with some rather raw emotions over the next 24 hours.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22 Today’s full moon could bring a few shocks, but if you look at them from a wider perspective you will realize they are not so important.

A look at the weather TODAY Min 8° Max 23° For today’s crossword answers and for expanded horoscopes, go to metronews.ca

Today’s horoscope Today’s full moon mischief takes place in the career area of your chart. Be wary on the work front.

Taurus April 21-May 21 Others can look on the dark side if they wish but you are determined to see only the good in the world.

Gemini May 22-June 21 You don’t lack for talent but what good is it if you don’t use it? Get serious.

Cancer June 22-July 22 Promise yourself you’ll wait until next week to make relationship decisions. Things will look rosier.

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.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21 You’ll feel more secure once today’s full moon begins to fade.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 20 Sometimes it can be easy to lose faith in yourself and it seems your rivals are doing better than you.

Aquarius Jan. 21-Feb. 18 You must resist the temptation to believe that you have enemies hiding around each and every corner.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20.

There will be a fair amount of criticism flying about today. It’s just jealousy. SALLY BROMPTON
