Consider timing due to uncertain future of Rexall Place, city urges No official word from province on $100M for new arena

Northlands wants to replace the lower bowl seats at Rexall Place, but city council is being warned about the timing of the decision. In a report going to council next Wednesday, Northlands outlines its 2011 capital budget, which includes plans to spend $770,000 on new seats. Under a master agreement, any alterations to Northlands facilities exceeding $750,000 is brought before city council for approval even when not asking the city for any money. City administration warns councillors about the timing of the decision in the report, but Coun. Tony Caterina thinks it’s an entirely separate issue. “The premier … has stated once again that the answer is no, they will not fund the arena project,” he said of Premier Ed Stelmach’s comments made Wednesday. “Certainly I wouldn’t recom-

mend letting the place go to hell in a hand basket because of somebody’s anticipation there might be an arena,” he said of Rexall. But others think holding off might be a good idea. “We’re waiting on a report on repurposing Rexall,” said Coun. Kim Krushell. “I don’t know why we would spend the money when we don’t know what the opportunities are.” Coun. Bryan Anderson noted that a downsized Rexall Place would be good for events too small for the proposed new arena. “I’ve heard rumblings even if there is a new arena built, Rexall would be refurbished ... as a smaller arena of 8,000,” he said. “Which I suspect would be all the lower bowl. “Then it could make sense to upgrade the seats — if indeed they need upgrading.” HEATHER MCINTYRE

The old and the new The city said Thursday that it has not received official word from the province regarding the $100 million request, despite the premier's comments Wednesday. The city and the Katz Group came to terms on an agreement framework about the proposed $450 million downtown arena in May. One of the many terms was for Northlands to sign a noncompetition clause when it comes to big concerts and other events, something that has not been agreed upon yet. The plan for new lower level seats for Rexall Place was not included in Northlands’ three-year capital plan provided last year to city council.

Heavy rain delaying city road projects by weeks Most city road projects have been delayed by two to three weeks because of higher than usual amounts of rain over the past six weeks, the city said Thursday. “Although we plan for weather contingencies, we could not have anticipated the excessive rainfall we have experienced in June and July,” transportation manager Bob Boutilier said in a release. Efforts are being made to compensate for lost time but some projects, such as arterial paving and neighbourhood renewal, may be extended into 2012. Overall, the city has seen 33 days of rain in the last 43, said Boutilier. “We know that delaying and rescheduling can be frustrating for citizens,” he said. “But it is imperative that the work be done to the highest standards from the very beginning. “If we have to extend the schedule in order to ensure that Edmontonians are getting the best quality work for their tax dollars, then we will do so.” Impacted projects include work on Scona Road and 99 Street, the 23 Avenue and Gateway Boulevard interchange, Lessard Road, and Quesnell Bridge and Whitemud Drive.

Residents sift through belongings after fire Questions remain unanswered two days after blaze at Royal Scot Apartments KATRINE SORENSEN

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

Major cleanup efforts were underway Thursday for residents of the northern part of Royal Scot Apartments, the area less affected by a massive fire Tuesday afternoon. A young woman was sitting on the curb outside the burned-out building with Rubbermaid containers that held her belongings while others were working inside, throwing

garbage bags out the windows. Many questions still remain unanswered for the residents. They say a fumigating company had brought two 100-pound propane tanks, which were feeding the fire, to treat an apartment for bed bugs. A representative for Academy Pest Control said Thursday they had been spraying the apartments, but that another company had been hired to perform the fumigating, involving

the propane tanks. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Resident Melanie Beluse, after a tenants’ meeting Wednesday, said one of the tenants in the building had made a call to the property management company complaining about a smell of gas before the fire, but the company had not taken action. Estate Properties Incorporated was not available for comment Thursday. “It just seems like we’re not getting the whole truth here, nobody wants to take any blame,” Beluse said.

Teenage Indy driver gets the green flag Edmontonian makes Firestone Indy Lights debut next weekend Teen excited to check out IndyCar races and start Indy Lights career HEATHER MCINTYRE

@METRONEWS.CA

Race fans can cheer on a homegrown driver next weekend, as Stefan Rzadzinski has been given the go ahead to enter the Firestone Indy Lights at the Edmonton Indy. “I’m competitive, I want to be in the fight,” Rzadzinski, 18, said Thursday after flying home from test sessions in Indianapolis Wednesday night. Edmonton will host a double header of the Firestone Indy Lights on July

23 and 24. The event is the “farm team” for the IndyCar series, says Tamara Fahlman, Edmonton Indy director of communications. Rzadzinski will be racing Davey Hamilton’s No. 32 car in his debut. He, like IndyCar drivers Paul Tracy and Alex Tagliani, expects a lot of speed, passing and maybe even more crashes than usual on the 2.256-mile, 13-turn circuit on the closed east runway of the City Centre Airport. “Really, it’s a very different world for me,” said

Rzadzinski, who has been driving what he calls “much smaller and slower Skip Barber and Formula Ford cars.” Rzadzinski was short sponsor money to enter the event, but Edmonton Indy promoter Octane Motorsports Events — which wanted to encourage local talent — helped him secure a spot. “I really hope that Edmontonians will come out and support him as he takes this last step before the major league series,” said Anne Roy, Edmonton Indy general manager.

Career path Stefan Rzadzinski started competing in karts at the age of eight, and has earned titles all over Western Canada and the world. In 2009, he was rookie of the year in the Ontario Formula Ford Championship after one win and six podiums. In 2010, he rejoined and raised his total wins to three. He earned a full-season regional race series scholarship for 2011 and was second in the standings after four races. HEATHER MCINTYRE/METRO

Mayor Stephen Mandel said the decision comes as no surprise because of the city’s track record in hosting high-profile events.

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 familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything special, but we were determined. By believing in ourselves and supporting each other, we got through each difďŹ culty,â&#x20AC;? says Erick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is possible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you show what you can do, you can build the right connections and open the door to a new life in â&#x20AC;&#x153;They told us that you need Canadian experience Canada.â&#x20AC;? to find a job,â&#x20AC;? recalls the former IT project THIS ADVERTORIAL IS PREPARED BY SCOTIABANK. manager at a Philippine bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we decided to try because we knew it was a good country to raise our kids.â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was lucky that Scotiabank gave me the chance to prove myself,â&#x20AC;? notes Erick, who has risen through the ranks and now serves many Asian customers at Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Castleridge Centre Branch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? 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

â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? says Erick. He also explains the importance of building a Canadian credit history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;?

More cabs needed if airport regained: City taxi association METRO FILE PHOTO

Balraj Manhas, president of the United Cab Drivers Association of Edmonton, believes more taxis only make sense if the city is able to regain the airport. A council committee discussed Wednesday ways to increase the 1,230 licences allowed, in order to meet demand. Manhas said bringing a stop to deadheading would help. A five-year contract for the Airport Taxi Service comes to an end Nov. 1, and Manhas is hopeful for change. HEATHER MCINTYRE

Calgary pot bust nets $17.5M in plants Collaborating criminal organizations were behind a multi-million 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 growoperation 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.

Local chicken advocates are crying fowl about being left out of the loop when a pilot project for keeping the birds domestically in the city was shot down.

Backyard chicken battle not over

Chicken enthusiasts await the findings of urban agriculture strategy report Pilot project was stalled last year in favour of upcoming policy KATRINE SORENSEN

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

While the city shot down a pilot for urban chickens last summer, some residents with ruffled feathers over the prospect of waiting at least another year are keeping them anyway. Laura, a volunteer from River City Chickens Collective, who did not want her last name used, said the group had proposed a pilot project with backyard chickens. She said health benefits are just one of the many

upsides to having chickens. “It’s also good for children to experience the understanding that chickens aren’t just slabs of meat that come on a styrofoam tray,” Laura said. Laura said some residents are already starting to keep urban poultry despite the ban. Ryan Pleckaitis with the city’s complaints and investigations department, said the group was told in July 2010 that the pilot was stalled. “There was support from that group because they did understand this was something the city was

looking at,” Pleckaitis said. “And the direction of the city was moving towards to make allowances ... for backyard poultry.” The city is contemplating downsides to keeping urban chickens, such as an increase of noise and predatory animals. But Laura said the collective is upset about not being kept in the loop when the proposal was denied. “They didn’t communicate that to us very well,” Laura said. “We didn’t think it had been rejected until just a few months ago.”

Pecking order It is illegal to keep poultry and bees at private residences in Edmonton. The City of Vancouver has allowed its residents to have backyard chickens. The City of Edmonton will be seeking residents’ advice on new urban agriculture policy this summer.

Pleckaitis says the city is awaiting an urban agricultural strategy report, expected in fall 2012, before moving forward with the pilot.

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

It was the end of an era for many Harry Potter fans as the last movie in the series premiered at midnight Thursday in Edmonton theatres. The founder of the Edmonton Harry Potter Club, Maria Jenkins, said it would be bittersweet to watch the eighth and last instalment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, in the series about the adventures of the young wizard Harry Potter. Although J.K. Rowling, the creator of the Harry Potter universe, has denied the possibility of another book in the series, Jenkins hopes for a sequel about Harry Potter’s son. “I’m pretty sure at one point she is going to write that story,” Jenkins said. “At this point the big villain has been defeated, but she’ll find something.” Jenkins, 30, founded the fan club about four years ago after attending a Harry Potter convention in the United States. Some of the 15 to 20 active members organized a lineup party while waiting for the sold-out premiere to begin at West Edmonton Mall, and Jenkins hopes the event will help

A share of sales from the performance are earmarked for the Youth Emergency Shelter Society.

Edmonton police are probing possible thefts by soldiers — from other soldiers. EPS said two men face charges after recreational vehicles were allegedly taken from CFB Edmonton last month. Police said two men were arrested when found pulling a stolen trailer, after a potential buyer

called police about the trailer for sale. Some of the stolen items from soldiers allegedly turned up at a pawn shop on 118 Avenue. Varrel Fitzcharles, 25, and Kieran Lawless-Johnston, 21, are charged with possession of stolen property and break and enter. METRO

Investigation Two accused soldiers are scheduled to appear in court in mid-August. Military police are following up with other military personnel to see if other thefts have occurred at CFB Edmonton. The soldiers whose belongings were allegedly taken are either serving in or just returned from Afghanistan missions.

Pirates getting bolder: Watchdog YONHAP, JO JUNG-HO/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

World sea attacks up 36 per cent in first half of 2011 Sea piracy worldwide surged to 266 attacks in the first half this year, up 36 per cent from a year ago, as Somali pirates became bolder and raided more vessels, a global maritime watchdog said Thursday. Sixty-one per cent, or 163 of the attacks globally, were carried out by Somali pirates largely in the Arabian Sea frequented by crude oil tankers, the International Maritime Bureau’s piracy reporting centre in Kuala Lumpur said in a statement. This was up from 100 attacks by Somali pirates in the same period last year. “In the last six months, Somali pirates attacked more vessels than ever before and they’re taking higher risks,” said the maritime bureau’s director Pottengal Mukundan. For the first time, pirates in June fired on ships in rough seas in the Indian Ocean during the monsoon season, he said. In the past, they stayed away from attacking in difficult condi-

Numbers game As of the end of June, Somali pirates were holding 20 vessels and 420 crew members, and demanding ransoms of millions of dollars for their release, the bureau said. They fired at 76 vessels, killing seven people and injuring 39. At the same time, 62 piracy attempts were reported to have been thwarted in the first half of the year.

tions. However, the bureau said Somali pirates hijacked only 21 ships, down from 27 in the first half last year, thanks to increased ship vigilance and international navies’ action in disrupting pirate groups off East Africa. “It is vital that this naval presence be sustained or increased,” it said.

South Korean policemen lead Somali pirates, hooded, to South Regional Headquarters Korea Coast Guard in Busan, South Korea earlier this year.

Pentagon cites largest-ever loss of defence data in cyberattack The Pentagon on Thursday revealed that in the spring it suffered one of its largest losses ever of sensitive data in a cyberattack by a foreign government. It is a dramatic example of why the military is pursuing a new strategy emphasizing deeper defences

of its computer networks, collaboration with private industry and new steps to stop “malicious insiders.” William Lynn, the deputy secretary of defence, said in a speech outlining the strategy that 24,000 files containing Pentagon data were stolen from a de-

fence industry computer network in a single intrusion in March. He offered no details about what was taken but said the Pentagon believes the attacker was a foreign government. He didn’t say which nation. “We have a pretty good idea” who did it, Lynn said

in an interview. One of the Pentagon’s fears is that eventually a terrorist group will acquire the ability to not only penetrate U.S. computer networks to steal data but to attack them in ways that damage U.S. defences or even cause deaths. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Presidential approval Earlier this year, President Barack Obama signed executive orders that lay out how far military commanders around the globe can go in using cyberattacks and other computerbased operations against enemies and as part of routine espionage. The orders detail when the military must seek presidential approval for a specific cyberattack on an enemy, defence officials and cybersecurity experts told the AP.

‘Scorched earth’ the battle cry Canadian says Gadhafi telling fighters to destroy as they retreat Troops’ morale sagging, he says Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi is telling his forces to destroy facilities as they retreat, says the Canadian general commanding NATO’s mission. 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. Lt.-Gen. Charles Bouchard says Gadhafi’s troops aren’t necessarily following his orders. “The Gadhafi regime has given direction to its forces to destroy certain facilities as they withdraw back, such as fuel refiner-

Update on war The UN-sanctioned, NATOled mission against Libya is in its fourth month, with six Canadian warplanes participating in the bombardment under a mandate to protect civilians and assist anti-Gadhafi rebels. Reports are emerging that Libyan emissaries are seeking sanctuary for Gadhafi, as the pressure on him continues to mount.

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. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Canadian general Charles Bouchard says Tripoli’s citizens could be in danger. “The threat remains of harm coming to them,” he warns.

Will Gadhafi blow up Tripoli? A Russian newspaper is quoting the Kremlin’s special envoy to Libya as saying Moammar Gadhafi has threatened to blow up Tripoli if it falls into rebel hands. Mikhail Margelov is quoted in Thursday’s edition of the Izvestia newspaper as saying Libyan Prime Minister Al-Baghda-

Argentina banning prostitution ads

Step right up. And learn how to show the flag

Press freedom groups call it another censorship step Government hopes it will stop violence, trafficking Argentina’s government is banning prostitution ads in newspapers and other mass media as of Friday, saying it is combatting violence against women. The ban decreed by President Cristina Fernandez drew praise from women’s groups and the U.S. ambassador, who has made reducing sex trafficking a key goal of her tenure in Argentina. But some of the president’s opponents fear it may be used to punish opposition media this election year by removing a source of revenue. Press freedom advocates described it as another step down a slippery slope for Latin American

But Robert Rivard, president of the InterAmerican Press Association's committee on freedom of the press, declared: “Presidents and prime ministers are meant to lead nations, not decide what citizens can or cannot say, read or listen to in the media.” Rivard asked: “Who wants government bureaucrats drawing the line between what is permissible and what is not permissible?”

Using his noodle to take a stand NIKO ALM/FOR METRO

Church of the Flying Spaghetti devotee permitted to sport kitchen couture in driver’s licence photo Austrian atheist Niko Alm has won the right to wear a pasta strainer as religious headgear on his driver’s licence after a three-year struggle against the authorities, Austrian media reported this week. Niko is a member of the five-year-old “religion” called the Church of the Flying Spaghetti, the devotees of which call themselves pastafarians. The purpose of the church is to make an ironic, but serious point. “Pastafarianism is nowhere near as absurd as the creationism they teach in schools,” Niko says. Alm applied for the licence after finding out that headgear is allowed in passport photos only for reli-

gious reasons, arguing it was a requirement of his faith. But a police spokesman said the licence was made because Alm’s face was fully visible in the photograph. “The photo was not approved on religious grounds. The only criterion for photos in driving licence applications is that the whole face must be visible,” said Manfred Reinthaler, a police spokesman in Vienna to BBC News. After submitting to a medical examination to establish that he was “psychologically fit” to drive, the driver’s licence was issued and ready to be collected in October 2009, according to the Austrian police.

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.

Cyber predator gets two years After preying on 285 young girls and getting them to take off their clothes in front of their computer, a convicted cyber-predator received his sentence today: two years in prison. 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

predators. 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, North Carolina. 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 ASSOCIATED PRESS

India ‘vulnerable’ to terror attacks: Minister No group claims responsibility for Wednesday’s bombings in Mumbai

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, centre, attends the burial of his half-brother Ahmed Wali Karzai in Karz, Afghanistan, on Wednesday.

Memorial for Karzai’s brother turns bloody A suicide attacker with a bomb hidden inside his turban killed four people, including himself, and wounded 13 others Thursday at a memorial reception for Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s murdered half-brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai. A second separate blast in this embattled southern city killed one other person and injured two others. A spokesman for the provincial governor, Zalmai Ayubi, said there were no federal cabinet members among the casualties. The country’s defence, public works and interior ministers were all in attendance at the memorial service, which was intended to give mem-

bers of the public an opportunity to express their condolences to the family of Ahmed Wali Karzai. The president, who attended his half brother’s funeral Wednesday, apparently returned to Kabul almost immediately afterward aboard a Canadian C-130J transport plane. Maj. Gen. Mohammad Naim Momeen, of the National Directorate of Security, said the bomber, a teenaged boy, was searched before entering, but the explosive was hidden in his turban. “To search the turban is an insult,” Momeen said. “The insurgents are using our traditions and customs against us.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

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 also be closed to raise federal income. Obama’s Treasury Department has said Aug. 2 is the deadline for raising

Obama will hold a news conference Friday to address the status of negotiations, his second of the week on a subject that has consumed Washington as the deadline approaches.

Murdochs to be questioned in U.K. Rupert Murdoch and his son James first refused, then agreed Thursday to appear before U.K. lawmakers investigating phone hacking and police bribery, while in the U.S., the FBI opened a review into allegations the Murdoch media empire sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims. Those two developments — and the arrest of another former editor of a Murdoch tabloid — deepened the cri-

sis for News Corp., which has seen its stock price sink as investors ask whether the scandal could drag down the whole company. Murdoch defended News Corp.’s handling of the scandal, saying it will recover from any damage caused by the phone-hacking and police-bribery allegations.

Astral says it has plan Deals with movie studios will help counter Netflix, CEO notes

Specialty TV company Astral Media Inc. has longterm deals in place with most U.S. movie studios, giving it exclusive content, chief executive Ian Greenberg said Thursday. Greenberg noted that Astral also has lengthy deals with U.S. cable channels HBO and Showtime for exclusive programming to broadcast on its pay TV services such as

The Movie Network. Netflix is competing for licensing rights with TV networks and pay TV services for content. It had 23.6 million subscribers in the U.S. and Canada at the end of March, double the number from two years ago.

Greenberg said when Astral buys programming rights it also includes digital rights to show the content online, on demand and soon on Apple’s iPad tablet. Astral also repeated its message that it wants the federal broadcast regulator to examine the operations of Netflix and similar providers. “It’s just not a level playing field,” he said, adding Canadian broadcast-

WHAT ONCE WAS RIGHT STUFF NOW SO WRONG THE METRO LIST

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. NKOTBSB: Acronym for the tasteless combination of two exceptionally ripened retro-boybands peddling their respective brands of nostalgic mediocrity to recently divorced mothers reliving a time when their waistlines were favourably offset by the disproportionate dimensions of their hair and shoulders. (New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys — now on tour.) Sudan-ly I see: After decades of unrest, South Sudan finally achieved independence on July 9. The new government must now rise to the challenge of providing necessities for its citizens. Immediate concerns include clean water, roads, schools, currency, Starbucks and a Walmart. Vaya con dios, fellow citizens.

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. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

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.

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.

since Boris Karloff and really brought something to a character that could have been one note. And you’re right, it isn’t a standalone, but it doesn’t have to be. Harry Potter has stood at the centre of popular culture for the last decade. The franchise is the thing, not just the one picture.

RC: I thought Alan Rickman stole the show. He has the creepiest vocal tics

RC: I have to tell you, I think the new one is the best of the bunch!

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

Renaissance woman Actress-singer Zooey Deschanel tries to satisfy kids, parents with her new music, new acting role on Fox TV

DAN STEINBERG/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When Zooey Deschanel was a little girl, she listened to children’s music by Harry Nilsson, Carole King and others — and those songs remain on her playlist today. So when the actress and She & Him singer was tapped to write the closing song for the new Winnie the Pooh movie, she sought to set that same kind of standard for her tune. The 31-year-old is known for her quirky performances in films including (500) Days of Summer and Elf, as well as her musical career with M. Ward as part of the retro, folkypop duo of She & Him. Though considered left of the mainstream, she has a chance to connect with the masses this fall on The New Girl, a Fox TV comedy. Deschanel talked with The Associated Press about all things Pooh, her new

series and her next role. Were you a big Winnie the Pooh fan?

No. 1, it’s very unsubtle. You have to walk a line lyrically ... I want it to feel like the movie without it being about the movie. You take the themes into account, but you’re not telling them what happens in the movie. They just saw the movie, they don’t need to be told what happened.

I was. I feel like if you asked me when I first heard of Winnie the Pooh, I don’t remember, because it’s so much a part of my childhood. ... I feel like it would be weird if I didn’t love Winnie the Pooh.

WILL U2 EVER BE ABLE TO TOP U2? SOUND CHECK

KEITH BEATY/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

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 indus-

try 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.

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.

Lights about to dim on Friday Nights BILL RECORDS/NBC

With clear eyes and full hearts, the cast reflects on 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

FNL cast members Matt Lauria, left, as Luke Caﬀerty, Grey Damon as Hastings Ruckle and Jurnee Smollett as Jess Merriweather.

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 five seasons of 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.”

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

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.

Though I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work magic in the kitchen as much as I used to, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Potterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cooking For Geeks (Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

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.

Preparation:

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: â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 cup red miso â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tablespoon sake â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tablespoon mirin â&#x20AC;˘ 2 teaspoons red yuzu kosho â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (white and green parts) â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil â&#x20AC;˘ 4 bone-in pork chops (about 11/2 pounds)

Eskimos RB faces the team that dumped him

LIONS

ESKIMOS

Time: 5 p.m., Saturday TV: TSN

Edmonton Eskimos running back Jerome Messam gets a chance Saturday to improve on his hot start by taking on the team that dumped him. Problem is the B.C. Lions knew what they gave up, don't care, and wouldn't want him back anyway. Messam will line up against the Lions at Commonwealth Stadium for the first time since he was suspended and traded during training camp for misconduct. It was an unceremonious end to a troubled oneyear tenure with the team that saw him break the jaw of popular receiver Paris Jackson in a lockerroom fight and get convicted for beating up a bouncer at the Barking Frog nightclub in London, Ont. “It (Saturday's game) means a little bit more, but it's just another game. I prepare just like any other week and control the things I can control,” Messam told reporters after practice Thursday. The Eskimos gave up a 2013 fifth-round draft pick to get Messam late in training camp after the Lion senior players met with head coach Wally Buono and, in an unusual move, told him despite all that Messam brings to the team athletically, he had to go. The Lions knew it was a lot to give up. The 26-year-old has been a beast early on this CFL season. On July 9, he ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns as the 2-0 Eskimos beat up on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 28-10. He was named the CFL's offensive player of the week and is currently second in the rushing standings with 141 yards and 5.4 yards per carry. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Roger Clemens, right, leaves the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.

Clemens’ trial tossed due to prosecution’s mistake Judge leaves question of a new trial for former all-star up in the air 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 under way 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

“Government counsel should have been more cautious.” U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE REGGIE WALTON 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, shook hands with the security guards and au-

tographed baseballs for fans waiting outside. Walton said he would hold a hearing Sept. 2 to decide whether Clemens should face another trial. Hardin told reporters, “I wouldn’t even hazard a guess” about what Walton will decide. 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. Pettitte had told committee investigators that Clemens confessed in 1999 or 2000 that he used human growth hormone. The quick end on the second day of testimony was the second mistrial involving a superstar accused in baseball’s steroids scandal. Barry Bonds was convicted three months ago of obstruction of justice, but a mistrial was called on three more serious false-statements charges after jurors couldn’t agree on a verdict.

“I have the ability and the backing to give fair criticism. The only time I have trouble with people giving criticism is when they haven’t walked that walk. I’ve walked many walks in my 19-year career, so I think any criticism that I give should be fair.” RETIRED NBA SUPERSTAR SHAQUILLE O’NEAL, WHO ANNOUNCED THURSDAY THAT HE’S TAKING AN ON-AIR JOB WITH TNT’S

Defending Tour champ challenged in Stage 12

LAURENT REBOURS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Score one for the Schleck brothers — Andy and Frank — against defending champion Alberto Contador. The Tour de France entered the Pyrenees on Thursday, and the Schlecks delivered a 1-2 punch with attacks at the end of the 211-kilometre Stage 12 from Cugnaux to the LuzArdiden ski station. By the finish, Contador was grit-

ting his teeth. Spanish climbing specialist Samuel Sanchez, whose team is based in nearby Basque country, gave the home crowd reason to celebrate. He won the stage after riding inspired through a sea of red, green and white Basque flags. And the current darling of French cycling —

Thomas Voeckler — surprised himself by keeping the yellow jersey on Bastille Day after scaling three punishing peaks. Thursday's leg showed that the once indomitable Contador, who had a dismal Tour start because of crashes and stumbles at his Saxo Bank team, can be vulnerable in the mountains. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Calvillo’s greatness becoming unquestionable CRAIG KLEM/ALLSPORT

CFL EXTRA POINTS DAN TOTH

EDMONTON@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.

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.

…VIRTUALLY! Tell your friends, family or that secret crush just how you feel with a Metro Kiss...then share it with the world through Facebook and Twitter. All kisses will appear online and a selection will appear in print too!

Visit metronews.ca daily to see who loves whom, or...who loves you!

A look at the weather TODAY Min 11° Max 22° 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
