GO riders paying up for parking squeeze

Primate. Research

GO Transit issues 12,996 tickets — worth $522,920 — twice as many as the year before

University of Toronto PHD students Amber Walker-Bolton, left, and Erica Tennenhouse were among a group who wrote a letter to U of T complaining about the euthanizing of primates like the crab-eating macaque shown on their computer screen. Story, page 6. RICK EGLINTON/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Monkeys shouldn’t have died: Students

Alexandre Payette couldn’t believe his eyes when he returned to the Bramalea GO station one evening in September to find a $25 parking ticket flapping under his wiper blade. “Since there were no more parking spots left, I made myself one; I parked alongside a row of parked vehicles. I always saw vehicles parked this way, so I thought it was tolerated,” said Payette, 22. Commuters who can’t find a spot are a key reason GO doubled the parking fines it issued last year, according to data obtained by the Toronto Star. As GO’s ridership grows — it’s expected to hit 61 million this year and increase about 25 per cent in the next five years — so does the

Det. Const. Jason Hodkin shows one of the cars allegedly fused together from stolen and wrecked vehicles and re-sold to unsuspecting drivers by ﬁve Toronto suspects. Hodkin holds a picture of a wrecked car’s back half that led police to this vehicle.

Police say a car-scam investigation dubbed “Project Enterprise” has resulted in more than 500 charges against five Toronto men. Unsafe vehicles were allegedly being patched up and sold to unsuspecting purchasers who believed they were safe, according to investigators. “With all that work, we’re not quite sure how the car is going to react in a collision. It’s a safety concern,” said Det. Const. Jason Hodkin of Toronto police’s traffic services division. The crime ring allegedly operated by buying legitimately trashed cars and then stealing an identical vehicle — usually from the GTA — for its working

As a result of the investigation, over 100 certified letters have been sent to drivers in Ontario, asking them to come in for a proper safety inspection. But less than half of those vehicles have actually been pulled off the road, of-

ficers say. Police believe some drivers know the allegedly illegal provenance of their car, and others are simply turning a blind eye. Project Enterprise was a joint investigation between the Toronto Police Service, OPP, Niagara Regional Police and the Ministry of Transportation’s enforcement unit. Charged are: John Keen of Toronto: 52 counts of fraud and 52

counts of forging documents. Giovanni Bellisario of Toronto: 125 counts of fraud and 125 counts of forging documents. Osvaldo Savia of Toronto: 72 counts of fraud and 73 counts of forging documents. David De Oliveira of Toronto: Property obtained by crime, fraud and two counts of forging documents. Gabor Toth of Toronto: Seven counts of property obtained by crime and three counts of forging documents. More charges may be laid in the coming months.

Scarborough Hospital axing 60 nurses 4%

On the block are 50 fulltime and 10 part-time positions from departments across the board, according to the union. The cuts represent about four per cent of the hospital’s 1,500 nursing staﬀ.

The Ontario Nurses’ Association is warning that looming job cuts at the Scarborough Hospital will put pressure on an already overworked nursing staff and reduce the quality of care patients receive. Union officials said the hospital notified them Wednesday that 60 registered nurses will lose their

jobs in coming months. “All the research shows that registered nurses are the backbone of health care,” said Andy Summers, regional vice-president of the union. “How can removing registered nurses from care improve quality outcomes?... You can’t give cheaper health care and get better outcomes.”

In a brief statement, Scarborough Hospital confirmed the layoffs and said the cuts are a cost-saving measure. “TSH is facing significant budget challenges due to rising costs for drugs, supplies and negotiated wage settlements,” spokesman Dave Bourne wrote in an email. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Man charged after body discovered A Toronto man charged about two weeks after a woman’s body was found rolled up in a carpet in a Junction laneway will remain in custody until a bail hearing Tuesday. Aaron Johnston, 23, was arrested and charged Thursday with performing an indignity to a dead body. The body of the 31-yearold woman was found Feb.1 by a man walking his dog near Clendenan Avenue and Dundas Street W. The woman’s body was allegedly moved from an apartment, wrapped in a carpet and left in the laneway, police said. Friends and co-workers identified her as Jennette Hutchison, a waitress at the Black Cat Pub and Grill near Jane and Dundas streets. Earlier this month, police said they were no longer treating the death as a homicide, but that it was still considered suspicious. Police have not yet revealed the cause of death. Johnston appeared briefly at Old City Hall court Thursday afternoon. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Woman sought in homicide Toronto police have released photos of a woman they believe knows who was responsible for a fatal stabbing on New Year’s Day. Police told a news conference Thursday that the woman was with the person who stabbed Mike Pimentel, 24, just before 3 a.m. on Jan. 1. Pimentel died after being taken to hospital. Investigators are calling the woman a “person of interest” and are hoping either she or someone who recognizes her will contact them. Police have speculated Pimentel got into a fight at the corner of East Liberty and Hanna streets after being separated from his friends. The photos are posted on the Toronto police website (torontopolice.on.ca). THE CANADIAN PRESS

They worked for seven years having scientists study their brains in a research project deemed so valuable that it won a national award. In their off-hours, the two young females played with toys, watched TV, ate fruit and hung out together in their home on the University of Toronto campus. That home was a cage; these were research monkeys — “cynomolgus macaques” bred in Texas for research. And when they were put to death earlier this month so scientists could analyze their brains, it marked the end of primate research at Canada’s largest university. “They were our very last ‘non-human’ primates and we have no intention of using any more; technology

The rest are mostly fish, plus a few rabbits. The university uses only half as many animals in research as it did in the 1980s, he said.

OPP investigating ‘possible criminal activities’ at Ornge Publicly funded air ambulance service in hot seat over business dealings Police also concerned about helicopter deal with AgustaWestland CONTRIBUTED/THE CANADIAN PRESS

A criminal probe of Ontario’s air ambulance service has provincial police investigating “financial irregularities” at an agency that has been engulfed in controversy for months. “The OPP is conducting an investigation into possible criminal activities on the part of Ornge air ambulance service,” police spokeswoman Cathy Bell said Thursday. It’s the latest blow to Ornge, which receives about $150 million a year from the province to operate a non-profit air medical rescue and transport service. The agency, which

Police use pepper spray to disperse a crowd blocking the Delta hotel in Montreal during a demonstration on Thursday against higher tuition fees.

There were four arrests on the ground and the whiff of pepper spray in the air as hundreds of protesters marched in Montreal on Thursday against planned university tuition hikes. Riot police were called in and things grew tense as officers unloaded the contents of pepper spray cans into the crowd. Students, unions and women’s groups held a joint protest near the stock exchange.

Opposition reacts to Drummond report Now that economist Don Drummond has revealed his austerity plan for Ontario, the opposition parties are offering some advice of their own. Ontario is in bad fiscal shape, but struggling families should not have to shoulder the burden of eliminating the deficit with user fees and higher water and hydro bills, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said Thursday. “I don’t know what planet Mr. Drummond’s on, he obviously only had one focus, which was the cuts,” she said. “But everybody else is living in the real world. Every other Ontarian that I’m talking to is feeling the pain already. They’re hurting.” The Liberals instead should stop corporate tax cuts and even raise the rate to 14 per cent to bring in more revenue, she said. The Tories rejected her call for higher business

Recap Drummond’s report urged the Liberals to take “unprecedented” action now in order to prevent a debt crisis in the future. His prescription includes bigger class sizes, higher utility bills, fewer hospitals and an end to direct subsidies and tax credits for businesses. Duncan has said he is not going to implement all 362 recommendations, even though Drummond warned that is what is needed to eliminate the deficit by 2017-18.

Family dog kills baby in Alberta community Husky had no history of violence Police say a newborn baby boy died after a family dog with no previous history of attacks turned on the child inside the family’s home. RCMP said the infant was attacked Wednesday morning at the house in Airdrie, a bedroom community just north of Calgary, and died that night in hospital. Insp. Tony Hamori said the family also has a 2 1/2year-old son and has never had any problems with the husky. “There is no history whatsoever of any issues with this particular dog,” Hamori said at a news conference Thursday. “It’s just a very tragic accident.” Hamori wouldn’t release any details of the at-

An ‘unimaginable event’: Insp

tack out of concern for the family. He did say one of the parents was at home with the child at the time. “We do not feel there’s anything criminal in nature. No charges are being considered at this point in time,” he said. “I’d like to express my deepest condolences to the family for the loss of their child.” Neighbours identified the two-storey grey house where the attack happened. It sits on a quiet street in the Kingsland area of the community. There’s a park a few doors down. Someone inside the home angrily turned away media. Erica Wollen, who lives a few doors down, has two sons of her own. She said

Dog’s fate The dog is being quarantined until the family and bylaw officers decide whether it should be destroyed. “We want to do the right thing for the family,” said Darryl Poburan, manager of municipal enforcement in Airdrie. “We want to do the right thing for the dog. I know it freaks me out. It’s not something you like to see.”

the attack made her think about the danger her kids might have been in playing at the park. A lot of people in the neighbourhood leave their dogs off-leash, she said. “Its horrible,” Wollen

said. “I can’t even imagine the devastation and for it to be their own animal. It would be just devastating because I am sure they trusted their own dog.” Counselling was being offered to the RCMP officers who attended the scene. Hamori said the attack re-enforces the need to watch animals closely around young children. In 2010, a husky killed a three-week-old baby girl as she sat strapped in her car seat on the floor of a home in Quebec. Her 17-year-old mother was allegedly outside having a cigarette when the dog attacked. She was charged with manslaughter.

Stanley Cup rioter sentenced to 17 months in jail RICH LAM/GETTY IMAGES

The first person convicted in Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riot was sentenced Thursday to 17 months in jail after admitting to joining the mob that left a path of destruction throughout the city’s downtown core. Ryan Dickinson, 20, pleaded guilty to participating in a riot, as well as breaching bail conditions from an unrelated assault charge. He admitted to using a

road barricade and a newspaper box to damage an unmarked police car, and then later tossing a mannequin and a newspaper box at the window of a clothing store several blocks away. The Crown had asked for as much as 18 months in jail, arguing that everyone who participated that night must be punished for all of the damage the riot caused, regardless of their individual level of involvement.

Riot police walk in front of a burning vehicle on June 15, 2011 in Vancouver.

The Crown labelled Dickinson an “instigator,” casting him as a violent, angry young man who appeared on video presented in court to be enjoying the violence. Provincial court judge Malcolm MacLean rejected Dickinson’s suggestion that he was merely “caught up in the moment.” “Mr. Dickinson’s participation was serious and involved a number of

conscious and deliberate decisions on his part, starting with his decision to go downtown knowing it was a breach of his bail,” MacLean said. “The videos (presented in court) show someone with more than a momentary lapse of judgement. ... The video shows there were times that Mr. Dickinson could have walked away, but he did not.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Tories get tough on refugees Say new bill will make it easier to deal with bogus refugee claims Critics argue the bill is discriminatory

Trade deal

SEAN KILPATRICK/THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Conservative government is using its majority to once again overhaul the refugee system to reduce what it considers to be bogus claims. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney tabled legislation in the House of Commons on Thursday that reverses some key concessions the Tories made to the opposition two years ago in order to pass the Balanced Refugee Reform Act through a minority Parliament. This new legislation, called the Protecting Canada’s Immigration System Act, more closely resembles the original refugee bill as tabled by the Tories, before any concessions. But Kenney says a glut of refugee claims from the European Union has

opposition in good faith and we ended up with a bill that was a huge improvement over the status

quo,” he said Thursday. “But we have a serious problem. We’re facing a large wave of unfounded asylum claims coming from the European Union in particular. The only tool we have to address that now is the imposition of a visa. That hurts Canada’s commercial, diplomatic interests. It hurts the tourism industry. We need other tools to address it.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Online bill at what cost? ISPs ask Government says legislation has provisions that would minimize cost to service providers The government’s online surveillance bill — already hitting snags over privacy — is raising concerns among Internet providers about who’ll pick up the tab. The legislation would allow authorities access to Internet subscriber information — including name, address, telephone number and email address — without a warrant. It would also require telecommunication service providers to have the technical capability to enable police and spies to intercept messages and conversations. The price tag for carriers could be significant, and it’s unclear what kind of compensation will be offered, said Bernard Lord, president of the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association.

“These new undertakings could generate significant costs, and the question remains whether the government will compensate those costs,” Lord said in an interview. The association represents companies including Bell Canada, Rogers Communications and Telus, which provide wireless services to millions of Canadians. “I don’t think we should ask law-abiding citizens that are using Internet services or wireless services to pay more on their bills because the government decides that the police needs extra tools to investigate,” Lord said. The bill requires the new interception capabilities to be included only in newly installed equipment.

Toews takes a tweeting

THE CANADIAN PRESS

#TellVicEverything A sampling of tweets to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews has faced pointed and personal criticism for leading the federal charge on the bill, with an anonymous Twitter user dishing out salacious details of the minister’s divorce proceedings this week. On Thursday, the popular social media site featured a deluge of Tweets labelled #TellVicEverything. Tweeted one user: “I spend a lot more work hours than I should on Twitter — but you probably already knew that.”

@JCDunn: Dear @ToewsVic Today the bathrooms on my floor at work were backed up.

@Vikileaks30 may have Commons connection The Twitter stunt that revealed sleazy details about Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’ acrimonious divorce proceedings appears to have emanated from the House of Commons. In a clever, websavvy investigation, the Ottawa Citizen has traced the Internet Protocol address attached to the Vikileaks30 Twitter account to a Commons computer. On Thursday, the newspaper sent a website link to the account operator, who uses an encrypted Hushmail email account. Other than the Citizen, only Vikileaks30 had access to the website.

Americans love Canada: Survey

Canada gets loftiest ranking of any foreign country since Gallup started the poll two decades ago Hey, Canada: Americans like us. They really, really like us. In fact, they like us better than anyone, anywhere on the planet. Nearly all Americans, a full 96 per cent, have a favourable view of Canada, according to a new Gallup survey. America’s neighbour to the north has long been the darling of the survey. “Canada’s 93 per cent ratings in 1987 and 1989 were the previous high favourable for any country,” the pollster said in a release. This year’s love-in comes despite the Obama administration’s recent decision to reject Calgarybased TransCanada’s Key-

A couple’s romantic Valentine’s Day tryst unexpectedly wound up as a ménage à trois — the added participant being the local police. Plans for a naughty night involving handcuffs went awry when the couple realized they’d lost the key. It eventually fell upon the man to make an awkward phone call to lawenforcement authorities, requesting help to free the woman. Police in southeastern Quebec received the call Wednesday morning, the day after Valentine’s. They believe the woman had been stuck there for hours. The man had already managed to pry off one of the cuffs. Police used wirecutters to remove the second one.

“The woman’s arm was changing colour. It was turning blue. So it had been a while.” CONST. PAUL TEAR, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE MEMPHREMAGOG MUNICIPAL POLICE FORCE, WHO SAID OFFICERS “DIDN'T ASK” PRECISELY HOW LONG THE WOMAN HAD BEEN STUCK.

Officers say they suggested to the woman that she go to hospital to get her arm checked out, but aren’t sure whether she followed up on their advice. Because the man had been free to move, and the woman also had one arm freed, they managed to get themselves dressed before police officers arrived. The couple are in their 40s. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

‘Underwear bomber’ given life sentence Defiantly declaring “a day of victory,” a Nigerian man was given a mandatory life sentence Thursday for trying to blow up a packed jetliner with a bomb sewn into his underwear. People aboard the flight testified that the failed attack had disturbed their sleep and travels for more than two years. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was the same remorseless man who four months ago pleaded guilty to all charges related to Northwest Airlines Flight 253. The 25-year-old, European-educated son of a wealthy banker, Abdulmutallab tried to set off the bomb minutes before the

Diplomats targeted in bomb plot: Thai police In wake of incidents, Israel’s foreign ministry says security has been stepped up for diplomatic staff abroad Three Iranians detained after accidentally setting off explosives in Bangkok were planning to attack Israeli diplomats, Thailand’s top policeman said Thursday in the first confirmation by local officials that the group was plotting attacks in Thailand. Israel has strongly accused Iran of being behind the botched plot, a bombing in India and an attempted bombing in the former Soviet republic of Georgia this week, which Iran has denied. Citing the similarity of bombs used in New Delhi and Tbilisi, national police chief Gen. Prewpan Dhamapong said that Thai authorities now “know for certain that

Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight landed. Had the bomb not fizzled, nearly 300 people aboard the flight would probably have been killed. Before Thursday’s sentencing, four passengers and a crew member from

the flight told U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds that they have struggled to live and travel normally since the incident on Christmas Day 2009. During their remarks, Abdulmutallab appeared disinterested, rarely looking up from his seat just a few metres away. Abdulmutallab “has never expressed doubt or regret or remorse about his mission,” Edmunds said. Life in prison is a “just punishment for what he has done,” the judge said. “The defendant poses a significant ongoing threat to the safety of American citizens everywhere.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gunmen storm Nigerian prison

“Israel expects (the Security Council) to issue a clear condemnation today, without any further delay or equivocation.”

Armed gunmen from a radical Islamist sect stormed a federal prison in Nigeria amid heavy gunfire and explosions, killing one guard and freeing 119 inmates in an assault marking its growing national ambitions, officials said Thursday. The sect known as Boko Haram claimed it freed seven followers in the attack that happened just after 7 p.m. Wednesday in the town of Koton-Karifi, just south of Nigeria’s capital Abuja. Though authorities declined to say the attack was the work of the group, it mirrored another massive prison break orchestrated by the sect in

(the target) was Israeli diplomats.” “This issue was about individuals and the targets were specific,” he said. “This was something personal.” Israel has accused Iran of waging a covert campaign of state terror and has threatened military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran has blamed the Jewish state for the recent killings of Iranian atomic scientists and has denied responsibility for all three bomb plots.

U.S. MARSHALS SERVICE/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

The explosion Monday in New Delhi tore through an Israeli diplomatic vehicle, wounding the driver and a diplomat’s wife, and an attempt was foiled the same day in Georgia. The plot in Bangkok was discovered when explosives in the men's rented house blew up by mistake Tuesday. Surveillance video showed the three men leaving their destroyed house just after the first blast. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

2010. The gunmen blasted through the prison’s gate with a bomb and killed one guard in a firefight, officials said. Those inside the prison escaped in the fighting, though authorities had recaptured about 25 of them by late Thursday afternoon, local prison official Hadiza Aminu said. The government said an investigation had begun into the attack. “One does not really know why” the gunmen attacked, Nigeria Prisons Service spokesman Kayode Odeyemi said. “It might be that some of the armed robbers are trying to free the armed robbers there

awaiting trial.” However, a spokesman using the nom de guerre Abul-Qaqa claimed the attack Thursday night in a conference call with journalists in Maiduguri, the sect’s spiritual home in Nigeria’s arid and dusty northeast. Wednesday night’s attack matched one Boko Haram launched in Bauchi state in September 2010 that freed about 700 inmates there. The sect spokesman said Thursday night attacks would continue until Nigeria’s weak federal government releases all its detained members. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Real estate crash haunts Spain

People walk out the entrance of 15 Central Park West in New York. The family of a Russian billionaire has bought the penthouse apartment for $88 million US.

Towering apartment blocks, complete with swimming pools and playgrounds, loom over empty streets, weed-filled lots and gaping excavation pits. The lone bank in this mega-development, nicknamed “Manhattan,” closed two years ago and most storefronts are bricked up. Apartments galore are for sale here and prices are plunging. More than 13,000 apartments were supposed to go up to create a mini-city for 30,000 people just 45 minutes outside of Madrid. But only 5,100 were built, many are uninhabited and regular Spaniards who bought them as investments are now competing to offload them for huge losses. Spain’s real estate crash and economic implosion have turned what was sup-

Aiming sky-high in N.Y.

The Wall Street Journal says the property on Central Park West is now the most expensive apartment in the city. The seller was Sanford I. Weill, the former head of Citigroup. It was bought by a trust for the daughter of fertilizer tycoon Dmitry Rybolovlev.

UN condemns Syrian regime U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon accused the Syrian regime of committing “almost certain” crimes against humanity Thursday as activists reported fresh violence and the arrest of several prominent dissidents, including a U.S.-born blogger. Speaking to reporters in Vienna, Ban demanded the Syrian regime stop using indiscriminate force against civilians caught up in fighting between government troops and President Bashar Assad’s opponents. “We see neighbourhoods shelled indiscriminately,” Ban told reporters in Vienna. Syrian activists said government forces attacked Daraa on Thursday, carrying out arrests and shooting randomly in the city

In this citizen journalism image provided by the Local Coordination Committees in Syria and accessed on Thursday, anti-Syrian regime activist Khaled Abu-Salah stands in front of ﬂames and black smoke from a bombed oil pipeline, in Baba Amr neighbourhood in Homs province, central Syria.

where the uprising against Assad erupted 11 months ago. They also reported intense clashes between army defectors and government troops in the central province of Hama. The push into Daraa followed sieges on the rebellious cities of Homs and Hama and appears to be part of an effort by the regime to extinguish major pockets of dissent. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ADVERTISING FEATURE

How much is your insurance loyalty costing you? Consumers shouldn’t let loyalty get in the way of savings Yes it’s true, insurance costs seem to be rising everywhere you look and like most consumers, you worry that switching insurance companies means losing your “loyalty discount.” The truth is that switching insurance companies may cause you to lose your loyalty discount (if you had one in the first place), but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll pay more for car insurance or that you can’t save a bundle in the end. The fact is, some insurance companies may provide a small discount on your premium if you’ve been with them for a long time – but

that small discount can quickly become irrelevant if another company has a rate for you that is significantly less than what you’re currently paying. After all, what good is 5% off of an annual rate of $1,500 (a $75 savings) if you could pay $1,100 (a $400 savings) with another company? The rates charged by different insurance companies to insure the same driver, with the same car, for the exact same coverage, can vary by hundreds and even thousands of dollars. And with so many insurance companies providing car insurance in Ontario, odds are

you are not currently insured with the company that offers the best rate for your driving profile. Insurance quoting sites like InsuranceHotline.com can help by providing an independent, unbiased rate comparison from its network of over 30 insurance companies to find you a lower rate available for your profile. Sadly, the misguided fear of repercussions from their current insurer is what keeps many consumers from taking action and shopping around. The truth is that your insurance company has no way of knowing if

you are shopping around for a better rate. In fact, even if they did know you were checking out your options, you cannot be

penalized in any way for trying to find a better deal. So don’t let loyalty get in your way of shopping for a lower insurance rate.

Have you lost faith in your current insurance provider? Now save hundreds – even thousands – by shopping around for auto insurance. All without affecting your coverage. We’ve harnessed the search power of the internet to offer you choice. It’s fast, free and easy to use, with absolutely no obligation. Then your loyalty can be requited.

LOCAL COORDINATION COMMITTEES IN SYRIA/AP

Iraqis run guns to Syrian rebels Weapons traffic has increased: Mosul police Crossborder smuggling routes have existed for generations THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:

The rifles are first taken apart and hidden in cigarette cartons and kerosene tanks. Younis al-Lehaibi and his sons then divide them into their trucks and head out to Iraq’s vast, dusty border with Syria. Their objective: To smuggle weapons to Syrian rebels who seek the overthrow of President Bashar Assad. It’s a turnaround from the height of the Iraqi war six years ago, when weapons and fighters would cross from Syria to aid fellow Sunnis in Iraq. Mindful of roaming border police, al-Lehaibi ditches the trucks once in Syria and travels the rest of the way on donkey. The

Iraqi smuggler Younis alLehaibi hides AK-47 parts.

Kalashnikovs are put back together, cleaned and handed over to a boy who hands him cash and brings the weapons into a nearby village.

Al-Lehaibi, 46, carefully examines his payment — usually $1,000 in U.S. dollars — to make sure the currency isn’t counterfeit. And then he slips back into Iraq — eight hours after he left his home in the city of Mosul, 360 kilometres northwest of Baghdad. Until a month ago, alLehaibi said, it wasn’t worth the effort. There wasn’t much profit in smuggling Kalashnikov rifles. The Syrian rebels had all the weapons they needed. The spike in demand likely reflects how Syria’s uprising, as it approaches its first complete year, has transformed into an outright clash of forces as the

$1,000

A Kalashnikov riﬂe, known as an AK-47, usually sells for no more than $200, alLehaibi said. But their newfound demand has encouraged dealers to raise the wholesale price to about $700. Smuggler Younis al-Lehaibi acts as the middle man, making a tidy proﬁt by charging $1,000. opposition turns more to armed action. For al-Lehaibi, pale man with reddish hair, the jump in demand for weapons means business has never been better. “It’s about making a good, profitable business,” al-Lehaibi said, describing his weekly smuggling trips in an interview with The Associated Press. He hastily added: “It’s also to help the Syrian people topple the tyrant who suppresses his nation for decades with severe brutality.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. hits Iran with sanctions The United States is slapping sanctions on Iran’s ministry of intelligence and security, asserting that it supports global terrorism, commits human rights abuses against Iranians and participates in ongoing repression in Syria. The Treasury Department announced Thursday that it added the ministry to its list of specially designated global terrorists. The announcement said the ministry had helped al-Qaida agents in Iran and provided them with identity cards and passports and had given money and weapons to al-Qaida in Iraq. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There’s no good spot on Cape Cod for dolphins to continue this winter’s massive and unexplained beachings, but a group of 11 has chosen one of the worst. The remote inlet is a place where the tides recede fast and far, and that’s left the animals mired in a greyish-brown mud. Walking is the only way to reach the animals, but it’s not easy. The muck releases a footstep only after a sucking pop. One rescue volunteer hits a thigh-deep “hole” and tumbles. One dolphin is dead, but the other 10 appear healthy, and some thump their tails in the shallows, struggling to move. Rescuers decide the best course is to wait for the incoming tide to free the dolphins, then boats can try to herd them out of trouble. The only alternative is hauling them to a waiting trailer, and open water. But the trailer is nearly 1.6 kilometres away. Waiting has risks. Dolphins can’t survive long

on land, and there’s no guarantee the boats can push the dolphins out to safety. “Now’s where we start crossing our fingers,” said Brian Sharp of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). Workers at the IFAW, which has led the rescue efforts, tag and take blood samples of the stranded animals, necropsies have been done on dead dolphins and a Congressional briefing was held early this month in the push for answers. But researchers can offer only theories

about things such as changes in weather, water temperature or behaviour of the dolphins’ prey. Geography may also play a role, if the dolphins are getting lost along the Cape’s jagged inner coastline. Rescuers work in pairs to move the dolphins on slings, bringing them closer together and pointing the right way. Not all the dolphins are on board, though. One drifts off to the left, where he could beach again. The manager of the stranding team, Katie Moore, slides over, grabs its dorsal fin, and gives it a push in the right direction. The dolphins would all eventually reach the bay. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This undated image provided by New Mexico State University shows the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the new hottest pepper on the planet, as identiﬁed by NMSU’s Chile Pepper Institute. Researchers determined the golf ball-sized pepper has a mean Scoville Heat Unit value of 1.2 million.

This scorpion’s bite meaner than a sting Pepper is not only the hottest, but most flavourful Two of the peppers can spice up meals for a week There are super-hot chili varieties. And then there’s the sweat-inducing, tear-generating, mouth-on-fire Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. With a name like that, it’s not surprising that months of research by the experts at New Mexico State University’s Chile Pepper Institute have identified the variety as the new hottest pepper on the planet. The golf ball-sized pepper scored the highest among a handful of chili breeds reputed to be among the hottest in the world. “You take a bite. It doesn’t seem so bad, and then it builds and it builds and it builds. So it is quite nasty,’’ Paul Bosland, a renowned pepper expert and director of the chili institute, said of the pepper’s heat. Researchers were

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion’s mean heat topped more than 1.2 million units on the Scoville heat scale, while fruits from some individual plants reached two million heat units. pushed by hot sauce makers, seed producers and others in the spicy foods industry to establish the average heat levels for superhot varieties in an effort to quash unscientific claims of which peppers are actually the hottest. That’s something that hadn’t been done before, Bosland said. “The question was, could the Chile Pepper

Institute establish the benchmark for chili heat?” he said. “Chili heat is a complex thing, and the industry doesn’t like to base it on just a single fruit that’s a record holder. It’s too variable.” The team planted about 125 plants of each variety — the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the Trinidad Scorpion, the 7-pot, the Chocolate 7-pot and the Bhut Jolokia, which was a previous record-holder identified by the institute and certified by Guinness World Records in 2007. Randomly selected mature fruits were harvested, dried and ground to powder. The compounds that produce heat sensation — the capsaicinoids — were then extracted and examined. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mars Inc., the makers of popular candy brands including M&M’s and Twix, will stop making chocolate products that exceed 250 calories by the end of next year. That means king-sized versions of the company’s chocolate bars will disappear from candy aisles. The privately-held company also makes Milky Way, 3Musketeers, Bounty and Kudos bars. Mars may not have to make radical changes to reach its goal, however; a standard Snickers bar currently has 280 calories. A package of Twix and a bag of peanut M&M’s each

clock in at 250 calories. The company first posted the goal on its website in September of last year, but the plans got renewed attention after media organizations reported on it this

week. Representatives from Mars declined to provide further details Thursday, noting that it has not yet finalized how it will reach its caloric goals. But the company said in an emailed

statement that it has shown a “broad-based commitment to health and nutrition” in recent years. In 2007, for example, Mars said it would no longer buy advertising space or time if more than a quarter of the audience was likely to be younger than 12. The company also noted that it has introduced several new products that are less than 200 calories. And by 2015, the company plans to reduce sodium levels in all its food products by 25 per cent. Mars, based in McLean, Va., also owns Uncle Ben’s, Seeds of Change and Whiskas pet food. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

No filters necessary for social media sites: EU court An EU court is ruling that social networking sites can’t be compelled to install general filters to prevent illegal trading of music and other copyrighted material. The EU Court of Justice ruled Thursday that requiring such filters, covering all the site’s users, would not sufficiently protect personal data or the freedom to receive and impart information. SABAM, a Belgian company that represents authors, composers and music publishers, had objected to the practices of Netlog NV, a social networking site, claiming users’ profiles allowed protected works to be made available illegally. In November, SABAM lost a separate case in which it sought to require Internet service providers to install filters that would prevent the illegal downloading of files. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A NATION IS SWEPT AWAY BY LINSANITY THE 1 METRO LIST

Pinterest.com: It’s the next Facebook or Twitter. Quietly but suddenly, this invite-only virtual pinboard where you “organize NEIL MORTON and share things you love” has METRO exploded in popularity. It’s still technically in beta, but is already one of the Top 10 social networks. Before you know it “pin” and “repin” will become as common terms as “tweet” and “retweet.” You can “Like” it if you like. Purple squirrel: Since a Pennsylvania couple discovered a purple squirrel in their backyard, the story has gone nuts on the Internet and a @purplsqurl Twitter account and Purple Squirrel Facebook page were started. A purple squirrel? For real? In related news, I think I saw a green chipmunk in my backyard. And a red bear. And a sasquatch. Dare to wear red: Giving more meaning to the colour red this month, the Stephen Lewis Foundation dares Canadians to wear red and raise money to turn the tide of HIV-AIDS in Africa. The three top fundraisers by Feb. 29th will get to walk the runway at Toronto Fashion Week in March. Get more info at daretowearlove.com. Tweet on Whitney Houston: A teenager on Twitter broke the news of Whitney’s death a full 45 minutes before the mainstream media. The tweet, from @AjaDiorNavy, read thusly: “omgg , my aunt tiffany who work for whitney houston just found whitney houston dead in the tub . such ashame & sad :-(“ Further proof social media really has changed everything. Linsanity: LeBron who? New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has come out of nowhere to become one of the most exciting players in the NBA — and one of its biggest new brands. He has led the must-watch Knicks to seven straight wins, including a buzzer-beater in Toronto against the Raps this week. On Twitter, he’s gained 200,000 followers in one week @jlin7. A sure sign he’s made it. What Makes You Happy: A magazine with one of the longest titles ever — What Makes You Happy — launched this month with comedian Rick Mercer on the cover. It will tackle “happy, inspiring, silly, important, useful and/or frivolous” articles addressing different aspects of happiness. If you don’t read it, just listen to Don’t Worry, Be Happy. Works like a charm. Will & Kate Barbie dolls: To commemorate their one-year anniversary April 29th, Mattel announced this week it’s releasing Will and Kate royal-wedding Barbie dolls. You can preorder the Barbie Collector Royal Wedding William and Catherine Doll Set on Amazon. I’m holding out for my Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush dolls. Justin Bieber: The Biebs made world headlines this week when he made a dying girl’s wish come true. Six-year-old Avalanna Routh has a rare form of brain cancer and her dream was to meet Bieber, so he flew her and her parents to N.Y.C. on Monday for a private meeting where they hung out and played board games. Never say never.

RICHARD CROUSE & MARK BRESLIN

Oscars ‘crystallized’ Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin share their thoughts on Billy Crystal reprising his role as Oscar host And they place their bets on best picture

Richard: We talked about the Oscars a few weeks ago, but we didn’t touch on Billy Crystal coming back as host. I loved the old Crystal shows, but really hope he finds a new fresh approach for this year. I’m not interested in seeing him do another opening montage where he inserts himself into the nominated footage. What do you, oh comedy guru, hope he does with the show? Mark: Oh, Richard, you know he’s gonna do it; this time in black and white, in flip-flops and silent. Those montage sequences are like a drug to him — his name is Crystal, after all. It’ll be

old and hoary, but at least there will be some laughs. Of course, Billy’s getting so old he’ll have to turn his hearing aid up extremely loud and the teleprompter will have to be incredibly close. Your prediction on Best Picture, Richard? RC: The Artist was the most fun I had at the movies last year but I’m not sure that means it deserves a best picture win. I think it will take it because it has won all the guild awards, but in my heart it’s between Moneyball and Tree of Life. What’s your choice? MB: My choice is The Descendants, a movie of great

maturity and mid-tone emotion. I had considered it a shoo-in until recently, because I thought The Artist was original to the point of gimmickry. But now I think The Artist is going to take it. It’s a movie I liked a lot, but it’s not very subtle. As far as Tree of Life goes, I thought it was pretentious hooey. And I heard they used non-union dinosaurs. RC: Pretentious hooey! I accept that the birth of the universe sequence separates the men from the film snobs, but I loved how evocative of childhood it was. It captured something deeply emotional, even

spiritual, whereas The Artist simply entertained the eye. The Descendants, for me, was a so-so movie with nice performances. Perhaps if Clooney had been working opposite a dinosaur I might have enjoyed it more. MB: Yeah, I know, Tree of Life certainly has its fans. The divisive film I loved was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I guess the childhood depicted in that picture — melancholic, guilt-ridden, borderline Aspergers — was evocative of my own. But it doesn’t stand a chance to win the Oscar, and I’ve made my inner peace with that.

Once again Nicholas Cage turns up the heat as Johnny Blaze, the stunt biker who sacrifices his soul and becomes a fiery vigilante. This time he’s hiding out in eastern Europe and joins a group of rebel monks to save a boy from the devil. Johnny Whitworth (of Empire Records fame) takes on the role of bad guy Ray Carrigan, who becomes Blackout. METRO

This Means War The Secret World of Arrietty Genre: Animation Director: Hiromasa Yonebayashi Stars: Bridgit Mendler, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett 8111⁄2

Already a hit in Asia, The Secret World of Arietty makes its North American

debut with a new voice cast — including Carol Burnett — but the gorgeous animation intact. The story of a young ailing boy who discovers tiny people living beneath the floorboards of his house is gently-paced kid’s entertainment. The story unfurls slowly, scenes take their time to develop

and the animation is classic, not frenetic. Kung Fu Panda Part 2 this isn’t. The Secret World of Arietty may be a tad on the slow side for kids over the age of 10, but for the younger ones it’s a wildly imaginative introduction to anime and fantasy storytelling.

Genre: Comedy/Action Director: McG Stars: Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Tom Hardy 8

Sure to be one of the most contrived films of the year, This Means War features two buddy CIA operatives (Chris Pine, Tom Hardy) competing

for the same woman (Reese Witherspoon). In short, the romantic-actioner is Bridget Jones’ Diary meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith — only its miles from being as watchable as either. And as phony as the romance plays, the action doesn’t add much lift to ease the pain. Full of

lame set-ups and unbelievable situations (a government agent with a condo that would make Donald Trump jealous? Really?), this groaner doesn’t hold an ounce of plausibility and concludes as disappointing as a box of rancid Valentine candy. STEVE GOW

Hurlin’s launch of an ambitious play and an educational discourse on puppetry. While the metaphorical strength of Hurlin’s Disfarmer (where the character

Seann William Scott is known for his lug-head characters But he has some highbrow tastes — with a frat boy twist, of course RICHARD CROUSE

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Seann William Scott is best known for playing Steve ‘Stifmeister’ Stifler in the American Pie series of movies. The character was a hard partying lug-head, who, according to the direct-to-DVD sequel Band Camp, became a porno director. His specialty in films like Road Trip, Dude, Where’s My Car? and The Dukes of Hazzard is playing hapless stoners and lug-heads so it may surprise you that his DVD player is currently hosting La Vie en Rose. That’s right, the life story of singer Édith Piaf. “That may be my favourite movie of all time,” he says.

“All my friends played hockey and I was always envious because all the girls liked the hockey players.” SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT

I tell him I once interviewed the movie’s star Marion Cotillard. “Is she hot?” he asks. “I have such a huge crush on her. She’s got a boyfriend though. I went on the computer and looked up who she’s dating. A serious boyfriend for a long time. Sucks.” That’s the Seann William Scott audiences know and love. As an actor he usually finds the unexpected angle on a joke, and knows how to reel the

viewer in. We have a laugh before moving on to talk about his new film Goon. He plays a hockey enforcer even though he didn’t grow up with the sport. “I’m more of a fan now,” he says. “When I grew up in Minnesota I played baseball, football and basketball. So in the wintertime that’s what I played, which is odd, because it’s Minnesota. All my friends played hockey and I was always envious because all the girls liked the hockey players. Nobody came to the basketball games. “Since the movie I have a greater appreciation of it now because it is so intense. I love hockey now. I think the relationship between the players is way cool. “The guys are just closer

On shooting in Winnipeg How did Seann William Scott like filming just north of home? “I expected it to be like Minnesota, but the girls were hotter in Winnipeg,” he says. “They dress better and they’re a little more hip. I was confused. Minnesota is just below. How’d they get so hip? I think they just eat better. They’re not stuffing cheese curds down their throats.”

and there is a sense of humour about it. Maybe it’s a more manly sport than basketball … I’m sure a lot of basketball players won’t appreciate that.”

Director spent years trying to get Norwegian Wood into production How he finally realized his dream RICHARD CROUSE

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Getting Norwegian Wood, a story of first love, loss and desire, before the camera was a passion project for its French-Vietnamesedirector Tran Anh Hung. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker (1994 Best Foreign Language Film nominee for The Scent of Green Papaya) first read Haruki Murakami’s bestselling novel in 1994 and became convinced it would make a great film. “I liked the idea of first love and that Watanabe, as soon as he encounters first love, loses it,” he says. “It was a strong idea because there is an element of danger when you fall in love for the first time.” The tricky part was get-

ting permission from the notoriously prickly author. “Every time I went to Japan I tried to talk to someone about adapting it,” Tran said, “but no one would talk to me. It turned out that Murakami wouldn’t allow adaptations of his books.” Years later Tran discovered the author had given permission for a film to be made from Tony Takitani, one of his short stories.

WHERE DOES INDIE MUSIC GO FROM HERE? SOUND CHECK

ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA

When Justin “Bon Iver” Vernon began writing his second album, he didn’t set out to win a Grammy. Out there in Wisconsin, he simply wanted to document the feelings in his heart. Maybe a few people would be interested enough to buy his music

and then come out to a gig or two. Imagine, then, what must have been going through his mind last Sunday night. Vernon is about as indie as they come in sound, style, aesthetic, attitude, history and image. His two wins at the Gram-

mys demonstrate how, after years of being on the outside, indie music is now receiving mainstream attention. And let’s not forget that Adele is an indie artist. Yes, 21 is distributed by Columbia Records, a division of Sony, but she’s

signed to XL Recordings, which is a department of Beggars Banquet, a British indie label with roots that go back to 1973. For those who thought last year’s Grammys was a fluke — wins by Arcade Fire and the ascent of Mumford & Sons to platinum-selling status — are either really pleased or really scared by these developments. Pleased because these great artists are having a chance to be heard by more people. Scared because mainstream attention threatens to have the clubby indie scene invaded by mainstream people. Indie folk — and here I’m speaking as one of them — feel, rightly or wrongly, a certain sense of ownership when it comes to the artists we discover and nurture. We root for them to become big — but not too big because that would somehow sour our relationship with them. We’d prefer if they’d just stay our little secret. If, heaven forbid, they became commercial stars and relegated to premiere league status, wouldn’t that make them no better than the dreckish Justin

Indie folk — and here I’m speaking as one of them — feel, rightly or wrongly, a certain sense of ownership when it comes to the artists we discover and nurture. Bieber and Lady Gaga? No, the band hasn’t changed; it just that, well, circumstances are different. Share? Us? No! It’s silly, of course, but that’s often the prevailing attitude. One of the best lyric fragments comes from the Sloan song Coax Me. It goes “It’s not the band I hate/it’s their fans.” So far, artists like Arcade Fire and Bon Iver have managed to retain their indie cred despite being commercially successful. Will their old fans stick with them? Or will they bail in favour of something newer, cooler and less popular? We’ll see. ALAN IS THE HOST OF THE RADIO SHOW THE SECRET HISTORY OF ROCK.

‘I promise I won’t beat you’ Chris Brown has an awful new pick-up line, according to Us Weekly ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

THE WORD DOROTHY ROBINSON SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Here’s the thing about Chris Brown and The Word: Yes, he brutally beat his thengirlfriend Rihanna in 2009. But the man served the sentence our judicial system thought was fair and so he should be allowed to get on with his life and music without a stupid gossip columnist dredging it up all the time. My prerogative is that we all know he’s a cowardly woman beater. Do with that information what you will. Except the idiot continues to open his big mouth and make jokes about domestic violence and so,

Chris Brown

sorry, I can’t drop it. According to Us Weekly, Brown has a totally romantic new pick-up line. A woman tells the magazine

that Brown approached her on Feb. 10 at the Grammy gift lounge to ask for her number. “Can I get your num-

ber? I promise I won’t beat you,” the woman said Brown told her. “He and his friends laughed, then one yelled, ‘That’s his new line!’” she said. “I wanted to throw up.” There are many ways I would like to respond to this stupid, hurtful and awful running joke of Brown’s but I don’t have the space. I’ll just say: It is my sincere hope that one day Chris Brown has a daughter and maybe, just maybe, he will feel sick at the thought of any man laying a hand on her. And then he will finally realize just what a terrible thing he did in his past and will finally know that making flippant asides about beating women is not OK. But somehow, even then, I don’t think he’ll get it.

HEART DISEASE

Just what was Whitney on? In the investigation into what exactly caused Whitney Houston’s death, investigators are reportedly interviewing the late singer’s doctors about what sort of medications had been prescribed, according to the Associated Press. “We’ve already contacted a number of doctors with requests for records,” a coroner’s official confirms, adding that such a move is common in investigations such as this one. The move brings to mind the investigation into Michael Jackson’s death, which resulted in his doctor, Conrad Murray, being convicted on manslaughter charges.

More than beads

After Carnival season wraps, many New Orleans locals give up their favourite foods for Lent. That makes Mardi Gras a great time to consume everything from gumbo and fired chicken to crawfish and pork chops, topped with King Cake and washed down with beer. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You have to love a celebration that can combine beads, boobs and beverages, and still stay classy. OK, while Mardi Gras may not be the textbook example of class, it certainly is a world-renowned party. Many revellers wandering the streets of New Orleans during the festivities will be enjoying a Hurricane — the city’s hallmark cocktail. Invented in the 1940s by French Quarter bar owner Pat O’Brien, it’s a mix of rum and fruit juices served in a glass resembling a hurricane lamp. The recipe is simple to make: • 1 oz white rum • 1 oz dark rum • 2 oz passion fruit juice • 1 oz orange juice • ½ oz fresh lime juice • 1 tbsp simple syrup • 1 tbsp grenadine • 1 orange slice & cherry Shake all the ingredients together with ice and strain into an ice-filled glass. Garnish with the cherry and orange slice.

My alternative version adds half an ounce of Bacardi 151° Overproof Amber Rum ($34.99 - $44.95) to the mix. It kicks the drink into overdrive. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS CANADA. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL PROVINCES.

4 In all, Carter played nearly two decades with the Expos, Mets, San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was an 11-time allstar and three-time Gold Glove winner whose 10thinning single in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series helped the Mets mount a charge against the Red Sox and eventually beat them. “His nickname ‘the Kid’ captured how Gary approached life,” the Mets said in a statement. “He did everything with enthusiasm and with gusto.... He was a Hall of Famer in everything he did.”

The small list of NHL teams willing to sell off assets at the trade deadline grew by one on Thursday. The Tampa Bay Lightning sent centre Dominic Moore and a seventh-round draft pick this year to the San Jose Sharks for a 2012 second-round pick. The trade was announced just before the Sharks faced the Lightning. “Dominic is an extremely versatile player that has performed in a lot of important playoff games the last two years,” San Jose general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement. “We feel that he is a great fit in several areas and his veteran presence will benefit our team greatly.” Tampa Bay GM Steve Yzerman announced earlier Thursday that he was also working on a deal involving veteran defenceman Pavel Kubina. “We’ve decided to protect our interest and keep Pavel off the ice until the situation is resolved,” Yzerman told reporters in Tampa. Entering Thursday’s game, Tampa was 10 points back of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Lightning join a list of teams willing to trade players ahead of the Feb. 27 trade deadline. Columbus, Edmonton and Carolina are among the others looking to make moves with an eye on the future.

Notable:

Reports surfaced Wednesday of a “secret” payroll level they cannot exceed, which could limit their ability to acquire talent at the trade deadline. Trade deadline talk now has the Devils interested in Winnipeg defenceman Johnny Oduya, whom they gave up in the Ilya Kovalchuk trade. The Devils are relatively comfortably ahead of the Leafs at the moment, and they have Kovalchuk going hot. It would be a considerable achievement for the Leafs to overtake them for the sixth seed.

The Battle of Ontario is renewed, and the fact these two teams are within four points of each other in the standings only heightens the rivalry. The addition of Kyle Turris has been tremendous for Ottawa; the club can now ice two decent scoring lines, with Turris centring the second line and Jason Spezza the first. Milan Michalek is healthy after a lengthy injury layoff and the club has found a way to give goalie Craig Anderson a bit of time off (he had appeared in 22 straight games in the New Year).

Associate goaltending coach Olaf Kolzig, who is still a fan favourite in Washington, spoke out this week on Alex Ovechkin, saying the superstar must not get too wrapped up in the “rock star” status that comes with his position. It was a direct message to the Caps captain, who is not scoring like he is accustomed to. The Caps have lost eight of their last 11 and appear to have plenty of trouble in their dressing room. The Leafs have to keep them a safe distance in the rear-view mirror.

The Jets are continually in the middle of an argument about the post-season: Are they truly contenders or also-rans? There’s plenty of trade talk around the team; its power play has been silent of late and the club has had trouble all year scoring goals. The bright spot for the Jets is the fact they have an eight-game home stand on tap. They also own one of the best home records in the conference. That gives them an opportunity to shoot for the Leafs in eighth spot.

The Isles have won their last four road games and have allowed only three goals in the process. They have climbed to within eight points of a playoff berth, but remain a tricky team. The club has seen its playoff fortunes improve behind the play of goalie Evgeni Nabokov, but several teams are looking for goaltending help, and GM Garth Snow might be able to realize some solid prospects or a draft pick for the veteran goalie. If Nabokov stays the Isles could be a challenger, or a playoff spoiler.

The Habs have Carey Price, and that’s arguably the only reason they are still entertaining a longshot hope to make the post-season. An overtime loss to Boston on Wednesday didn’t help. Montreal is a long shot to make the playoffs, but there’s still time to mount a challenge. Interestingly, the Leafs’ final game of the year is a road game in Montreal — that could be a sensational encounter. In the meantime, they have a very attractive trade asset in veteran blue-liner Hal Gill.

Nash not necessarily the answer

TORONTO@METRONEWS.CA

As soon as word leaked that the Columbus Blue Jackets were placing franchise star Rick Nash on the trade block, some Maple Leafs fans began dreaming in high definition of the local boy in a Blue and White uniform. But whether Toronto has enough to consummate that transaction is another question entirely. Nobody’s saying a LeafsJackets trade for Nash definitely won’t happen. Toronto is one of five cities the big right-winger (who has a no-trade contract and thus is in control of his destiny) would accept a move to. And he is exactly the kind of first-line, longterm cornerstone player Burke believed he could ac-

LaBatte going back to Prairies

Do the Leafs have the assets to acquire Rick Nash and remain competitive?

quire on the open market, which is why he chose not to rebuild the franchise through the more traditional draft lottery route. Although the 27-year-old carries a hefty salary cap hit of $7.8 million a season until the summer of 2018, his presence on the ros-

ter would boost the Buds’ offensive fortunes drastically. That is, unless Burke has to trade Columbus an important piece of Toronto’s present-day puzzle in return for Nash. Let’s say Jackets GM Scott Howson asks for Mikhail Grabovski, Jake Gardiner and a first-round draft pick? Would you give up two of Toronto’s best players this season for Nash? Many would, but I’m not sure everyone in Leafs management feels the same. And even if they did, that might not be enough for Nash’s current team to accept a deal; Columbus needs help in all areas but particularly in goal. With all due respect to Leafs netminders James Reimer and

Jonas Gustavsson, even if Burke offered one of them in the trade, they are nowhere near as highly regarded as L.A. Kings goalie Jonathan Bernier or Vancouver’s Cory Schneider. So not only are the Leafs putting themselves in danger of depleting their stock of young defencemen and forwards for one player, but they also don’t have one of the specific pieces other teams will be able to offer. Perhaps Burke orchestrates other deals to acquire a goalie he could flip to Columbus for Nash, but that’s easier said than done. For long-suffering Leafs fans watching the team stumble through the first half of February, nothing would make for a better

belated Valentine’s Day present from their beloved Buds than a headline-making Nash acquisition. But if they’re getting their hopes up when the reality of the situation shouldn’t inspire optimism, they’re setting themselves up for needless heartbreak.

Brendon LaBatte is returning home. The Saskatchewan native agreed to terms Wednesday with the Roughriders. LaBatte’s deal will reportedly pay him around $200,000 annually. The Riders also announced they have come to terms with free agent centre Dominic Picard, who spent last season with the Toronto Argonauts. The six-foot-four, 304pound LaBatte, from Weyburn, Sask., was an all-star and helped Winnipeg reach the Grey Cup in 2011. The 25-year-old will strengthen the offensive line at guard or centre.

A look at the undrafted beyond Lin New York’s sudden superstar not the first NBA player to seemingly come out of nowhere and have a big impact Jeremy Lin will play in the Rising Stars Challenge after all. The New York Knicks point guard was added to the NBA all-star weekend’s roster of players for the Feb. 24 game on Thursday. Lin’s breakout came after the pool of players was selected, and the NBA was pressured to add him after he scored 136 points in his first five starts, most by an NBA player since the merger with the ABA in 1976-77. But long before Jeremy Lin was Jeremy Lin and the world went gaga over a handful of great games, there were other undrafted NBAers with bonafides that Lin can only hope to match. Here’s a look at the some of best of the bunch. TORSTAR NEWS

Udonis Haslem

All the Little General did was become the leader of a San Antonio team that included David Robinson and Tim Duncan and take it to its first championship. Not bad for a guy no one picked.

Yes, he had the wildest hair of the group, too, but he also might have been the best non-drafted defender and rebounder ever. Detroit probably wouldn’t win its 2004 title without him.

Some may have thought of him as a dirty player, but that wasn’t the opinion in San Antonio, where he became a stalwart on championship teams. Spurs thought so much of him they’ll retire his number this season.

That forgettable NBA Finals Game 7 aside — his 2-for-18 performance for the Knicks against Houston in ’94 was abominable — Starks carved out an all-star career out of nowhere, really.

As role players go, it doesn’t get much better than Miami’s Haslem. Sure, it’s easy to play alongside James, Wade and Bosh, but Haslem is accomplished in his own right. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Seattle guns for NBA and NHL teams Proposal submitted for arena funding Officials say financing only works with two franchises

Christopher Hansen is making a $290-million US proposal that could be the impetus for a new sports arena that could bring the NBA and NHL to Seattle. All he needs is city and county approval equaling $200 million and two franchises to make it a reality. Hansen, a hedge-fund manager based in San Francisco and a Seattle native, submitted a proposal to the city on Thursday that calls for $290 million in private investment toward the construction of a new arena

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am conďŹ dent this proposal will be looked on favourably by both leagues and sincerely believe that together we can accomplish the goal of securing NBA and NHL franchises for our community.â&#x20AC;? CHRISTOPHER HANSEN

that would cost between $450 and $500 million. Hansen and his investment group would be responsible for the purchase of an NBA franchise and finding a partner to bring an NHL franchise to Seattle as well. The proposal is the first significant step toward solv-

ing the arena problem that was at the root of the SuperSonicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; move from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008. The proposal will now go before a review board with King County executive Dow Constantine hoping it can be completed within a month.

According to a letter submitted by Hansen, remaining construction and development costs would be financed by the city and King County using taxes and revenues generated by the new facility and rent charged to teams playing in the arena. City officials say there will be no new public taxes needed for the building and that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portion of the investment will be capped at $200 million with additional costs paid for by the private investors.
