Cycling grey zone. Police say that with electric power comes great responsibility
suspect dodges cops in beaches lockdown
Members of Toronto police’s emergency task force gather at Main Street and Kingston Road Thursday during a hunt for an 18-year-old man wanted in connection with shootings at Alexandra Park as well as last month’s Kensington Market stabbing. Fifteen schools in the Beach area locked their doors as a precaution during the search for Nicholas Dillion-Jack, who police say slipped outside their perimeter around 2:20 p.m. Story, page 2.

You can’t get charged with impaired driving while on a bicycle. But you can get charged with impaired driving on an electric bicycle driven by any means other than muscular power and going no faster than 32 km/h. Such was the lesson in motor-vehicle safety when Toronto police announced that Heather Mitchell, 27, of Mississauga, was charged with having a blood-alcohol level over
80 milligrams while driving an e-bike Wednesday afternoon. The e-bike thus falls into a cycling grey zone. Under the provincial Highway Traffic Act, it’s not classified as a motor vehicle. But under the federal Criminal Code, it is — and so impaired driving charges apply. “The difference is the power,” said Const. Allan Davidson of Toronto traffic services. “You don’t have to pedal an ebike; it will move on its own. That makes it a motor vehicle.” The consequences of the charge include an immediate 90-day driver’s-licence suspension, with a conviction carrying the possibility of a one-year driving ban, a fine and a criminal record. torstar news service

A suspected gunman Toronto police frantically searched for — and lost — in the Beach Thursday afternoon is a known associate of a victim in critical condition after last
weekend’s shooting at Eaton Centre, sources tell Torstar News Service. According to the sources, the suspect, whom police have identified as 18-year-old Nicholas Dillion-Jack, was photographed recently armin-arm with the 23-year-old man who is fighting for his life after being shot at the Eaton Centre food court last Saturday evening. (The man in hospital cannot be named under a publication ban.)
Dillion-Jack, who also goes by the street name “Buck,” is also wanted for a string of shooting incidents at Alexandra Park, as well as a May 24 stabbing at St. Stephen’s Community House, a social service agency serving areas such as Kensington Market and Alexandra Park. Sources also said that one of the shootings Dillion-Jack is wanted for — no one was injured — took place a few hours before the Eaton Cen-
tre shooting in which Ahmed Hassan, 24, was slain. On Thursday, as the search for Dillion-Jack spilled into an otherwise quiet neighbourhood in the Kingston Rd. and Woodbine Ave. area, 15 Toronto schools locked their doors for an hour and a half. Officers set up a perimeter in the Upper Beach area, but Sgt. Darryl Lindquist said the suspect slipped outside the police perimeter around 2:20 p.m. Police ended their chase
Birdnapping. Parrot stolen overnight from Scarborough home Polly got a captor? It appears so. Police are on the lookout for Polly, a parrot valued at around $4,000 that was stolen from a home in north Scarborough overnight. Georgia Tichy, 58, said she was awakened around 3:30 a.m. Thursday by her 78-year-old disabled husband, who heard glass shatter and Polly squawking. When Tichy walked into their living room, where they kept the greenwinged macaw, she stepped on glass. “I realized that the smashed door was open, the cage was open and the bird’s cage was outside,” Tichy said hours later. When police arrived at Tichy’s home, on Sunmount Rd. near Birchmount Rd. and Sheppard Ave. E., they found a brick had been used to break through the glass front door. Polly’s empty cage was left sitting on the porch, its metal door open. A distraught Tichy called police. Officers told Tichy the

Man charged in sex-trade worker robberies A Mississauga man faces robbery and weapons charges in connection with a string of armed robberies targeting sex-trade workers. Peel police say five gunpoint robberies occurred between March 21 and mid-April at north Mississauga hotels involving sex trade workers aged 21 to 25. Cash, smartphones and computers were taken.
Polly’s particulars •
Polly’s wings aren’t clipped, so Tichy says he could have flown away from the bird bandits. That’s her hope. “Either they were able to get a hold of him or better yet, he took off.”

shortly after. Those who saw the pursuit describe a chaotic scene. Heather Bosley and her mother were walking down Waverley Rd. around 12:15 p.m. when a young black man sprinted past them. “He was just flying, panting hard,” Bosley said. “And about 15 to 20 seconds later a dozen undercover cops came flying through the same route, yelling, ‘Get your kids and get inside!’” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Plastic-bag ban ‘the people’s fault’: Ford Talk radio. Mayor vents his frustration, blaming council’s recent decision on unengaged taxpayers Mayor Rob Ford took to talk radio Thursday morning to lambaste council for banning plastic shopping bags — and, unprompted, blamed the city’s residents for the unexpected decision. “It’s the people’s fault,” Ford told AM640’s John Oakley. “Honestly, sometimes I get so frustrated because the people are just sitting back listening. They don’t pick up the phone, they don’t go down to city hall, they don’t ask questions, they just — it’s frustrating. I want people to get engaged in municipal politics, to find out who their councillor is and know how they vote. “If there was a couple hundred thousand people down in Nathan Phillips Square saying they want plastic bags back,
yes, then the councillors will listen,” Ford said. “But if people don’t, like I said, take action and don’t get in the councillors’ faces, it’s not going to happen. It’s up to the taxpayers. They have to be more engaged and they’re just not.” Moved to action by residents’ phone calls, Ford asked council Wednesday to scrap the bylaw that forced retailers to charge five cents for plastic shopping bags. Council did so, but it also voted 24-20 to scrap the bags entirely as of Jan. 1. Stores will then have to give out paper bags, offer reusable cloth bags for sale or go bagfree. The vote would not have come about had Ford not pushed the issue to council. On Oakley’s show, Ford accepted no responsibility. He referred to the councillors who voted for the ban as “NDPers” and “very far left,” though they included centrists and right-leaning allies David Shiner — who proposed it — Gary Crawford and Peter Milczyn. torstar news service

• On Thursday he sounded a different note: “I only have one vote on council. On issues like this, I think the mayor should have a little more power.... I do represent three million people compared to some councillors that represent 60,000. We have to look at changing the act, and then I’d have to see whether I agree with it, because there’s pros and cons.”
Parceled with a threat from the deputy mayor, city council has voted to once again give funding to Pride Toronto. In a unanimous vote Thursday, councillors approved a grant of roughly $124,000, which is about eight per cent of Pride’s $1.6-million budget.

Holyday later said there’s a distinction between quietly marching and being disruptive. torstar news service

Grace George of Etobicoke said it was her son’s wish, and now she’s asking the public for help to bring him home. “We all talked about it and we said if anything happens we’re going back to Africa ... but while we say these things, we don’t think about the money,” she said.

for the safety and life of the cyclist. The Ontario Superior Court judge also found Ahmed guilty of failing to remain at an accident after hitting cyclist Krzysztof (Chris) Kasztelewicz as Kasztelewicz stood beside his bike, which was leaning against a lamp pole. “The accused deliberately, in an angered state, drove backwards while looking where he was going, mounted the curb and struck the pole, the bike and the complainant,” McMahon said. But the judge found he had a reasonable doubt that the cabbie intended to deliberately hit the cyclist rather than just his bike, so acquitted him of the more serious charges of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon — his taxi. Ahmed had already pleaded guilty to one count of attempt to obstruct justice by going to a car wash 13 minutes after hitting Kasztelewicz to clean the blood off the cab. Ahmed remains on bail and returns for sentencing Sept. 7.

UN, activists say new wave of killings in Syria Mazraat al-Qubair. Groups say nearly 80 people killed, just weeks after mass killings in Houla
UN Secretary-General Ban Kimoon said unarmed UN monitors came under fire Thursday as they tried to reach the scene of the latest Syrian mass killing. Activists said government forces killed nearly 80 people, including women and children who were shot, hacked to death and burned
in their homes. Ban told the UN General Assembly that the monitors “were shot at with small arms” as they tried to reach Mazraat al-Qubair, a farming area in the central Hama province. The group initially was denied access. He did not mention any casualties, and it was not clear who was behind the shooting. International envoy Kofi Annan told the General Assembly, “If things do not change, the future is likely to be one of brutal repression, massacres, sectarian violence, and even all-out civil war.”
Syria denied that its forces committed a massacre as “absolutely baseless” and blamed the violence on terrorists trying to provoke foreign military intervention to topple Assad. A resident of Mazraat alQubair said troops shelled the area for five hours Wednesday before government-aligned militiamen entered the area, “killing and hacking everyone they could find.” “Women and children were burned inside their homes in al-Qubair,” said Mousab Alhamadee, an activist based in Hama.

First Nations school being tested for HIV Infection unlikely. University of Manitoba professor administers faulty diabetes screening Dozens of students and staff at a First Nations high school are being tested for HIV and hepatitis after undergoing a faulty diabetes screening. A University of Manitoba professor talked to students at Southeast Collegiate on May 4 about diabetes and used a glucometer to test blood-sugar levels on about 80 people. University spokesman John Danakas said the professor changed the needle used on each person. “It’s the device which holds the lancet that was reused, and you’re not supposed to reuse that. Although the device never comes into contact with the person’s skin ... there’s still a very, very small, I think it’s one in several million, possibility that there could be an infection.’’ The university later clarified
the chances are deemed to be less than one in a million. Danakas would not identify the professor, but said he was not authorized to perform the diabetes test and has been disciplined. The case has angered some aboriginal leaders. “While the risk of a student contracting an infection is described by the University of Manitoba as exceptionally unlikely ... the risk is not zero,’’ Chief Michael Yellowback of the Manto Sipi Cree Nation, said in a written statement. Eight children from the reserve who attend the Winnipeg school were part of the diabetes test. The group that represents First Nations communities across northern Manitoba said it was alarmed that impromptu diabetes tests were done without parental consent. “At the heart of the matter, prior written parental consent should have been required by the school,” said Grand Chief David Harper of the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak. the canadian press

Montreal police arrest protesters Montreal police made a series of searches and arrests in connection with disruptive protests, and those detained Thursday included the daughter of an elected politician. Amir Khadir, the sole elected member of the leftwing party Quebec Solidaire,
confirmed that his 19-year-old daughter was among those arrested. Five out of 11 people being sought Thursday were arrested. It was unclear what charges Khadir’s daughter, Yalda Machouf-Khadir, might face. Her arrest came just two days
after that of her politician father, who was released with a fine. Khadir had compared his own act of blocking a street during a protest, to the civil disobedience of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. the canadian press

The spokesman for Greece’s extremist far-right Golden Dawn party caused an uproar Thursday after he allegedly physically assaulted two left-wing deputies on live television during a morning political show. A public prosecutor ordered his immediate arrest. Tempers frayed on the political show on the private Antena television station during a discussion of the country’s politics in the run-up to repeat elections June 17. Golden Dawn spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris took offence to a reference by radical left Syriza party member Rena Dorou over a court case that is pending against him. Kasidiaris, 31, bounded out of his seat and hurled a glass of water across the table over Dorou when she said there was

Cape Cod. Residents excited, wary about alleged first-ever bear The biggest sensation on Cape Cod right now isn’t the lobster, the lighthouses or the sand dunes. It’s not even a Kennedy. It’s a bear. A bruin, believed to have swam about 152 metres across the Cape Cod Canal from the mainland in late May, has captured the imagination of residents as it traipses across the peninsula. Officials say research dating to the 1700s suggests this is the first bear on the Cape. “Well, my goodness. How often do you see a bear on Cape Cod?” said Marion Larson, a spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. “It’s really cool, and people are really excited about it.” A Cape Cod Times reporter told the paper she spotted the bear around 6 a.m. Thursday and said it bounded across the road like a puppy. The bear, likely a male about three years old, has been seen near a chicken coop, a cranberry bog, a golf course and more than a dozen other locations along a 96-kilometre stretch of the Cape. Now that the bear has

reached the tip of the Cape, wildlife officials say they may attempt to immobilize and move it to an area where other bears live. Bears don’t generally turn around and go back where they came from, and he can’t go any farther east. “He’s at the end of the line, as far as real estate,” Larson said. But Provincetown police Officer Ruth Anne Cowing, who handles animal control duties for the town, said officials there are hoping the bear will retrace its steps and get out of town. So far it’s stayed mostly in the woods and retreated every time it’s seen a person. “Now he’s at the very end, so he needs to make a decision or we’ll make it for him,” she said. the associated press

Aircraft. Aveos’ airframe unit attracts no buyers Hope appears to be fading for most former Aveos employees after no potential buyers expressed interest in the aircraft maintenance firm’s airframe unit, says a report by the monitor overseeing the company’s restructuring. The business employed about 1,500 of the 2,600 people who worked at Aveos before it closed its operations in March and obtained court protection
from creditors under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act. Work on repairing and overhauling airframes has increasingly gone to low-cost operations in Asia and Latin America Aveos has said that its airframe business was not viable, suggesting buyer interest will be focused on the components and engine repair divisions. the canadian press

Five Wives. Idaho rescinds ban on ‘offensive’ vodka Idaho reversed direction in the face of a lawsuit Wednesday and said it will sell Five Wives Vodka, but the liquor producer whose label makes an unmistakable reference to polygamy would not immediately rule out legal action. The Idaho State Liquor Division rejected as offensive last week the product that shows five women hiking up their skirts on the vodka bottle.
Idaho is more than 25 per cent Mormon and the church at one time allowed polygamy but abandoned the practice in 1890. The vodka originates from Ogden’s Own Distillery in Utah, where the Mormon church is based. The state’s decision allows the company to sell the vodka only by special order. the associated press

The Canadian government and other officials have told the Federal Maritime Commission that over a period of 10 years, only 2.5 per cent of U.S.-bound cargo was imported via Canadian ports, the agency’s Rebecca Dye said Thursday. Speaking at a Canadian American Business Council conference on China, Dye didn’t say when the commission would complete its
investigation and deliver its on Thursday, pointed out that Canadian officials hardly give findings to U.S. Congress. But the matter has been cargo ships a free ride.

From first bank account Best Buy founder steps down Richard Schulze, the founder and outgoing chairman of Best Buy, pictured above, announced his resignation from the board on Thursday and said that he may sell off his 20.1 per cent stake in the beleaguered electronics retailer. Schulze, 71, has been with the company since its inception in 1966 and its largest shareholder by far. It’s the latest news to hit the Minneapolis company facing increasing competition from online retailers and a CEO scandal, and it removes one obstacle for a possible private equity takeover of the company.

Bonnaroo. 80,000 people are camping out on a 700 Neil Morton acre site in Manchester, Metro Tenn., this weekend for the epic music festival Bonnaroo, which features 150 acts on 13 stages. The likes of Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish and the Beach Boys will all be there. Best overnight guitar campfire sing-song ever. Home ATM. NBA player DeShawn Stevenson installed an ATM machine in his Dallas home to allow his buddies to withdraw money before they go out partying. And each ATM withdrawal at his house will cost you: $4.50 ATM fee per transaction. I’m taking that idea to the bank. Rob Lowe Takes Winnipeg. There have been spottings of him in town all week, where he’s filming The Casey Anthony Story for Lifetime TV — playing the part of prosecutor Jeff Ashton. One woman tweeted the Lowe down, “Guess who just met Rob Lowe? Yeah, that’s right. Moi. 80s dream realized. And yes, we touched. Le sigh. #Winnipeg”. B.C. Limo Driver. A limo driver in Vernon, B.C.. called police Saturday night because of drunken passengers in his vehicle. Just one problem: When the police showed up, the driver himself had been drinking. And he failed a roadside breath test. He’s now facing an impaired driving charge. Graceland. Commemorative CD/DVD editions of Paul Simon’s landmark Graceland album came out this week, marking the album’s 25th anniversary. They include the new Graceland documentary Under African Skies, chronicling its recording and impact on world music and pop culture. Must watch. Canadian Psycho. Suspected fugitive/cannibal Luka Rocco Magnotta was arrested at an Internet café in Berlin this week. Which actually really shouldn’t surprise anyone, as the ultimate narcissist was there checking out reports on the manhunt for himself. Russell Brand. At the MTV Movie Awards, Brand wasted no time in his opening monologue addressing his divorce from Katy Perry. “The last time I did an MTV awards show, I did end up marrying someone that was there. So tonight I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for my next wife!” No word if he kissed a girl that night. Celine Dion. Celine Dion’s heart goes out to Kate Winslet, who has said the Titanic theme song, My Heart Will Go On, makes her sick. Dion said on the Today show this week: “If I just count how many times I’ve sung it, maybe it’ll get me sick. If she feels tired just hearing it, and, like, throwing up, I’m glad she was not the one singing it.” You should hear me belt it out. Twitter’s New Birdie. The world’s famous little blue bird doesn’t need any accessories anymore, as Twitter announced this week “there’s no longer a need for text, bubbled typefaces, or a lowercase ‘t’ to represent Twitter” anymore. So now it’s just the birdie. In other news, the blue jay in my backyard still has a bird bath. Miley Cyrus. It was just yesterday that my girls were watching her as Hannah Montana, and now the 19-yearold has gone and gotten engaged. Yes, she announced her engagement to boyfriend actor Liam Hemsworth. No word if dad Billy Ray will sing Achy, Breaky Heart at her wedding. Melissa Stetten. The model hilariously live tweeted an unknown actor Brian Pressly — a devout Christian married with a child — hitting on her in a plane. Sample tweet: “Brian has a wedding ring. I ask him how his wife is, he says he just wears the ring because he likes it. Right, Brian.” Horrible acting job Brian. Brock University. Graduating students there were treated to some Hollywood celebrity when Ryan Gosling showed up with girlfriend Eva Mendes on campus to watch his mom graduate on Wednesday.

Stars out to end violence against women
Prometheus is all about the aesthetics. HANDOUT
Script taints aesthetic gem Reel Guys
RICHARD CROUSE AND MARK BRESLIN
Prometheus. Ridley Scott’s latest imagining is pretty, but the ’70s sci-fi dialogue makes it go clunk Richard: Chris, thematically Prometheus is equally about creation and destruction. As a piece of entertainment goes, however, I’m not sure it will create lasting memories. It won’t destroy the goodwill of the first couple of Alien films, but I don’t think it will add much to the legacy either. For me there is very little big bang in a movie that is reportedly about the most significant discovery in the history of mankind. You? Chris: I was blindsided. My expectations were low to none. I didn’t want Alien redux, I wanted something different and I got it. The visuals were so grandiose, the aesthetics so night-
marish and baroque that I was dazzled. Only when the pithy dialogue steered the ship did I reject it ... but then something would ooze, a storm would rage and I was back in. And hey, it’s not 1979 anymore. We’ve seen it all and I’m pleased that Scott chose to dwell on dread rather than simple chest-bursting shock. But man ... that dialogue! RC: It may not be 1979 anymore, but I agree, the dialogue sounded like leftover, bad late ’70s sci-fi films. I expected a higher level of writing from a movie that is more about ideas than action. Having said that, I loved Michael Fassbender’s automaton space butler. He’s got many of the film’s best lines and if they ever need someone to play the lead in The Peter O’Toole Story, he’s the guy. CA: Fassbender is fantastic, Rapace is scrappy ... but for me, this was all about aesthetics. Then again, with Scott, it was always about aesthetics. Alien
Synopsis
The basic storyline of Alien is in place in Prometheus, just don’t call this movie a sequel or a prequel lest you annoy Sir Ridley. A group of hapless space travellers faceoff with some intergalactic nasties who give hugging a bad name. But these face huggers aren’t the movie’s main draw. Led by Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan MarshallGreen), the expedition into the far corners of the universe aims to prove a connection between ancient human civilizations and extraterrestrials. Chris Alexander sits in for Mark Breslin. •

had no story, it found its power in dread, atmosphere and de-
sign. Blade Runner had no story, only a philosophy and a MacGuffin and again, exists as a testament to mood, music and architecture. With Prometheus, there are things in here that I haven’t seen or experienced since, well, since Blade Runner; things I will never forget. And while there may be no chestburster freak-outs, one word: Caesarean! RC: (Mild spoiler) Four words! Do it yourself caesarean! The movie’s slow build nicely leads up to that memorable scene, adding an element of horror to the heady mix of ideas but I expected more from Scott. Perhaps Alien set the bar too high for the director to leap over. CA: I prefer to see it as Alien vs. Predator draining the IQ of the franchise so that Prometheus appears like Potemkin by comparison. But in all seriousness, Prometheus gave me a massive sensory jolt. Great Scott, give me more!

Metro World News in Hollywood
Malin Akerman got a look at how the other half lives in Rock of Ages, playing a Rolling Stone reporter tasked with interviewing the infamously difficult rock star Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise). Of course, their interview devolves into a raucous, half-naked rendition of I Want to Know What Love Is, with Cruise using Akerman’s rear end as a microphone at one point. Our interview was, to put it mildly, much more staid. Has playing this part given you new sympathy for the folks interviewing you? Absolutely. I mean, I’ve always had sympathy for you guys because I know it’s hard. There’s that whole mix of wanting to get a really good story, and then on our side of the coin not wanting to give too much of a personal life story. It’s hard. It’s not easy, finding the right balance. But it was fun to play, definitely. It was nice to be on the other side of the coin. I liked it, but a few people I talked to today, they go, “God, I’ve had an experience like that.” There was one woman who went to someone’s house and ended up having to interview a rock star in

It was nothing fancy, and I never went anywhere with it, but I’d never had any real vocal training so this was the first time. There was so much pressure to not disappoint.

Spoiler alert!
So, Ridley Scott’s longawaited Prometheus is finally here, and the results are … disappointing. While visually stunning, the story — about a group of scientists heading into space in search of man’s origins — is overly complicated and filled with holes. Since we’re always looking to be helpful, here’s what we’d do differently:
Make it scarier
1
Scott continually referred to Prometheus as a horror movie in the lead up to its release, yet the finished product is surprisingly short on scares, save for one fantastic surgery scene. A lot of this might have to do with the fact that, for most of the film, it’s not really clear what the threat is — aside from some very powerful wind.

Ease off the old-age makeup
Work on the dialogue
Kill characters with respect
Where to go from here
Unless there’s a scene of a younger Peter Weyland (Guy Pierce) that was cut from the film — and maybe that TED talk viral video was originally supposed to be included — it seems unnecessary to cast Pierce in the role just to cover him up with unconvincing prosthetics.
The film falters the first time when the ship’s pilot, Janek (Idris Elba), shows up with some succinct information about what’s in those mysterious vases he hasn’t seen in person and why the “engineers” he’s never met built them. Why not offer a clue how he came to such a conclusion?
Maybe starting off with fewer characters would’ve made it possible to avoid instances like Janek’s two co-pilots (Emun Elliott and Benedict Wong) deciding to go down with the ship — despite their being a viable escape — just because the story needed them to not be around anymore.
What would really be awesome would be for Dr. Shaw and the severed head of the android David (Michael Fassbender) star as wacky roommates on a laugh track-filled CBS sitcom. The possibilities for hilarity are endless!

A tribute to hockey’s legendary goon Ogilthorpe. Short Canadian film based on the life of rock ‘em, sock ‘em player Bill ‘Goldie’ Goldthorpe Dorian Geiger
scene@metronews.ca
One of the most iconic characters from the cult 1970s film Slapshot will be coming to life in a new Canadian film entitled Ogilthorpe. Ogie Ogilthorpe, the villainous goon who cameos in the conclusion of Slapshot, was a character based on real-life goon Bill “Goldie” Goldthorpe.
Like in Slapshot, the real Ogilthorpe’s legend precedes him. When Goldthorpe played, his fists did the talking, and his bleach blond afro had the potential to make clowns blush. He once threatened Don Cherry and got away with it. And while incarcerated in Syracuse during the American Hockey League season, coaching staff from his team would escort Goldthorpe back and forth from prison between games. The film, which was shot in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, is the brainchild of executive producer Dave Fergusson. Fergusson thinks that style of rock ‘em, sock ‘em hockey featured in the film is a thing of the past. “It was the wild west back then. He (Goldthorpe) was the wildest, most unpredictable player in the league back then. He was the fiercest goon ever to play the game of hockey,” said Fergusson. Fergusson has been transfixed by the legend of Ogilthorpe for some time now. “ T h a t ’ s the beauty of Ogilthorpe. The beauty
of his life story is the drama — and it’s both on the ice and off the ice. “There are incidents where this guy went to a rink in a different league to watch a hockey game and he’s a member of neither team and ends up getting involved with the brawl.” Saskatoon fitness trainer and former hockey player Kelly Riou plays the legend of Ogilthorpe. The resemblances between the actor and man in real life are striking. “I have a curly Afro myself but I keep it completely short because I don’t like the curls and the next thing I know they’re taking it right back to where it was and blond to boot.” Online
The trailer of Ogilthorpe is debuting on metronews.ca and ogilthorpethemovie. com.

In Cosmopolis, director David Cronenberg takes us on an existential road trip through the breakdown of modern society. Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson plays Eric Packer, a 28-year-old billionaire money manager. Powerful, controlling and self-destructive, he’s driving across Manhattan to get a haircut in the back of a tricked-out stretch limousine while his world crumbles. It’s a challenging film that exists on the macro and the micro, a complex character study of one man’s battle to be relevant and alive and a look at the world that is rapidly changing around him.
A story of a MIT-bound student (Matt Bush) who concocts a plan to get everyone in his school high to avoid detection in a mandatory drug test is a slight, but funny stoner comedy. High points include Michael Chiklis’s hilarious anti-drug principal, Adrien Brody’s Psycho Ed and Colin Hanks as a reluctant authority figure. It feels a bit like things we’ve seen before — think Superbad with a hint of Harold and Kumar — but has a decidedly anti-pot message, which I found surprising given the movie’s premise.

Alex the lion (voiced by Ben Stiller), zebra Marty (Chris Rock), giraffe Melman (David Schwimmer) and hippo Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) are still stranded in the African savannah and after a side trip to Monaco they join a circus with hopes of returning to their New York home. The Madagascar series has never been my favourite animated franchise but there is more invention and fun in the first 20 minutes of Madagascar 3 than in all of Battleship and Men in Black 3 combined. The new film is funny — it’s worth the price of admission.
This insane west coast indie is the most auspicious Canadian feature debut of the year -— and maybe in years. A meticulously art-directed homage to vintage, visionary ’80s sci-fi, Beyond the Black Rainbow has a hallucinatory power that transcends its slender plot and meagre characterizations: it’s simultaneously hypnotic and jarring, which is a very unusual combination. adam nayman

Director Max McGuire has lived with cystic fibrosis (CF) his whole life, but he’s never let the terminal disease get in the way of his desire to make movies. Now 31 years old, McGuire is looking forward to the release of his third feature film, Foreverland, set to open this month. Foreverland follows Will Rankin, a 21-year-old with CF who is too preoccupied with the realities of his disease to actually live his life. “He kind of lives preparing for the end,” explains McGuire. But when Will is tasked with delivering the ashes of a friend to a sacred healing shrine in Mexico, Will finally lets himself experience life. McGuire got the idea for Foreverland after asking himself some very big questions about life and his disease. “Obviously coming into my later years as a patient I was struck with all these feelings of when does the end start to happen? Do you feel it? Is it sudden? These questions helped me realize that probably they are questions for a 20-something-yearold to be having,” he says. But with the help of his friend and co-writer, Shawn Rio-
Max Thieriot as Will Rankin. handout
pelle, McGuire made sure Foreverland wasn’t a “feel sorry for yourself disease film.” On the contrary, McGuire says Foreverland is about hope and learning to live in the moment. Though McGuire admits this is a very personal story for him, Will Rankin is not based on Max McGuire. “Will’s a little bit thornier and a little bit darker than I am,” says McGuire. “I like to joke that I’m postForeverland-journey Will. Will’s arc is an exploration of what could have been if I hadn’t been raised with the idea that time is finite for everybody and to pursue your dreams.” regan reid, metro

SCENE
metronews.ca WEEKEND, June 8-10, 2012
When the twins come out to play Breasts. Is is possible that society is taking this sideboob obsession too far?
Yay or nay
YES
Michelle Castillo
Miley Cyrus — one of the most common sideboob offenders — famously said she can’t be tamed. So, why do we expect that her twins will comply with fabric restraints? We personally don’t see all the hoopla about flashing a sly sideways glance, a safe-for-work version instead of a naughty, full frontal presentation.
Metro World News
“Decline of Western Civilization #248: The HuffPo has a whole section dedicated to ‘sideboob.’” So tweeted one writer, in response to the Huffington Post’s new page dedicated to, yes, sideboobs: photos of celebs flashing a little skin, usually at movie premieres or in magazine shoots. On Thursday, founder Arianna Huffington claimed the section was a joke — it was put together by the site’s comedy team in response to comedian Jon Stewart, who said he goes to HuffPo for all his sideboob needs. But the fact that most people thought it was real says something about the state of the news org, if not civilization.
Sideboob: pro vs. con
Sleek and aerodynamic, sideboob-baring outfits aren’t only fashionable: they’re environmentally friendly. Letting the natural air cool your body cuts down on needing the air conditioner. Using less fabric cuts down on the need to harvest and use more materials. In all seriousness, breasts are a natural part of our anatomy, and it’s time that we stop being prudish. If we can accept that a simple black censor bar over a nipple makes things kosher, we shouldn’t be horrified at seeing someone’s jiggly parts. There’s much more eye-opening bits out there to get upset about. The whole section was intended to be a joke: There’s no use of making mountains out of molehills.

We don’t know what’s more disturbing: that sideboobs have entered the international news discussion or that people actually seek out sideboob entertainment. By bringing attention to this ridiculous craze, the sideboob vertical shows our unhealthy obsession with celebrity culture. Journalism now consists of writing full articles about these exposing moments because that’s what readers want — whether they wax poetically about the shapely curves or pretend to be disgusted by it while they linger on the pictures. As for the celebrities themselves, they seem to have a constant need for attention. Crotch-high slits aren’t enough, now you have to expose both sides of your breasts and perhaps one of the cheeks to get the paparazzi to snap a shot? Instead of using their fame to promote worthy causes, they stage shots where they knowingly show off their goods for a little more time in the spotlight. If the sideboob section was a joke in response to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’s comments as Arianna Huffington claims, the satire was lost between the cleavage of both sides of the debate. The section was a cheap way to drum up more publicity and traffic for the Huffington Post. Our best bet is to put our opinions aside and just stop talking about it. The less that sideboobs are shoved in our faces, the better off we will all be.

I had a ringside seat to the whole affair from neighbouring Singapore. Her sold-out show at Gelora Bung Karno stadium (capacity: 52,000) scheduled for last weekend was cancelled by government authorities after protests by hardline organizations. This included the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), an Islamist group that threatened violence if they didn’t have their way. They made noises about storming the concert to “do what they

‘Like nothing else around’ Unique sound. The Brits are enamoured with the understated singer’s raw, soulful voice, and he’s set to hit Bonnaroo music festival Michael Kiwanuka didn’t trust his voice. For the increasingly large crowd of music fans familiar with the pure, soulful sound of the British singer’s ageless voice, this is probably hard to believe. Yet it’s true. Kiwanuka thought he was a guitar player and nothing more. “The people who were big when I was in my mid-teens were like Usher, and Justin Timberlake started coming out,” Kiwanuka said in his sing-song lilt. “And there’s R&B singers who are amazing. And I would sing and it would sound not really like that at all ... so people just found it weird. When I listened to it back on speakers for demos and stuff, it just sounded like nothing else that was around.” We can all be thankful for that. Kiwanuka eventually found confidence in his voice,

Kiwanuka was voted in BBC’s Best of Sound 2012 as Britain’s top act to watch this year.
GREAT FATHER'S DAY GIFT!
However, there are signs that the state apparatus is becoming more integrated with religious organizations and their agendas. Commentators in the region say that the Gaga fiasco only proves this point. The government is now perceived as weak and inconsistent. Now the fear is the extremists, representatives of a small minority, will become bolder and continue to threaten violence against those who do not see things their way.
If they get the government to blink over a pop concert, what’s next? Extremist fringes have already used violence (usually with machetes and batons) against Christians and other religious minorities. Are music fans next? Not if some local little monsters have anything to do with it. Several dozen of them went to the stadium anyway last Saturday night. They waved signs, danced and went home. At least it was something.

We don’t envy Jimmy Kimmel. Whereas the idea of Kardashians is enough to haunt this office, all three were live in his studio on Wednesday night. While he had them there, he took the opportunity to ask Kourtney if she had any plans to marry longtime boyfriend Scott Disick. “Do you wanna be in my therapy session?” she replied
with a seriously scary laugh (did we mention she is 33 and pregnant with his second child?). “First of all, I have realized that I have major commitment problems during this pregnancy. I’m really claustrophobic, and all my issues — and I have a lot of them — they all stem from this thing. I can’t commit to anything. But I love Scott, and he is my partner.” Kimmel made it out of the conversation as close to alive as you can expect after a close encounter of the Kardashian kind. But if Kourtney is sporting a ring next week, we’re going to want a word off air.

A former secretary for John Travolta says the actor — who’s currently being dogged by multiple sexual assault accusations from men — is gay, according to the National Enquirer. “Of course I knew he was gay. It never bothered me,” says Joan Edwards, who worked for Travolta from 1978 to 1994.
Edwards claims she learned firsthand details from another former employee, Doug Gotterba, who worked as a pilot for Travolta starting in 1981. “He told me that John was gay and they had a sexual relationship.” Travolta’s attorney has yet to comment on the story.
Jim Carrey fires back Jim Carrey didn’t appreciate ex-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy telling Howard Stern that he has refused to maintain a relationship with her son, Evan, who is autistic. “I will always do what I believe is in the best interest of Evan’s well being,” says the actor, who denies that
McCarthy has ever reached out. “It’s unfortunate that Evan’s privacy is not being considered. I love Evan very much and will miss him always.” I think we can all agree on what’s important here: There is no way we’re watching McCarthy’s new reality dating show.

Get sprung on unique summer shrimp rolls Shrimp & Jicama Spring Rolls. These fresh bites make the perfect appetizers Imagine crossing a monster potato with a water chestnut. That’s jicama for you. And while not much to look at on the outside, the crisp, crunchy texture and clean, sweet flavour inside makes this veggie worth seeking out. First, the basics. Jicama is a tuber — a big, brown, round root. A relative of the bean family, it is native to Mexico and South America. Though most often eaten raw, such as chopped into salads, jicama can be steamed, boiled, sautéed or fried. The flavour is on the
neutral side, with a hint of starchy sweetness. It really is quite similar to water chestnuts, and can be substituted for them. Once limited mostly to Latin American markets, the popularity of Hispanic foods has pushed jicama into mainstream grocers.
1. Dipping sauce: In a blender
combine the peanut butter, jam, soy sauce and vinegar. Blend until smooth. Add hot sauce, to taste, then set aside.
2. Place noodles in bowl and cover with hot water. Soak 5 mins., or until softened. Drain in mesh strainer and set aside. 3.
Use spoon to scrape out and discard the seeds from the cucumber halves. Cut each piece into thin strips.
Cut jicama into thin slices, then cut each slice into thin matchsticks.
4.
Fill bowl (at least several inches larger than the rice wrappers) with warm water. Soak 1 wrapper in water until soft and pliable, 20 seconds.
5.
Carefully remove rice wrapper from the water and lay flat on the counter. Place small bundle of noodles along one edge of wrapper. Top noodles with a bit each of cucumber, jicama and carrots. Place 3 shrimp over vegetables, then top with a mint leaf.
6. Roll wrapper, starting with
filling side, folding ends over the filling as you roll to form tight cylinder. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings. Serve spring rolls with
dipping sauce. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ingredients Dipping sauce: • 1/4 cup peanut butter • 1/4 cup apricot jam • 2 tbsp soy sauce • 2 tbsp rice or cider vinegar • Hot sauce, to taste Spring rolls: • 2 oz dried bean or rice thread noodles • 1/2 cucumber, peeled and halved lengthwise • 4-oz peeled jicama root • 12 large rice-paper wrappers (8-inch round or larger) • 1/2 cup shredded carrots • 1 lb cooked and cooled extra-large shrimp, shelled and deveined • 12 large fresh mint leaves
A philosophical frog once said, “It’s not easy being green.” White winemakers hum the same tune because consumer love for clean, clear liquid in their glasses has forced them to filter their whites within an inch of their lives for years. Truth be told, many grapes we consider white have much darker skins than you might imagine, with the best example being pinot grigio. Unfiltered, your average PG would be a few shades shy of rosé. One white that wears its colour on its label is Vinho Verde made in the Portuguese province of Minho. Translating to “green wine” its name is really a reference to the bright, refreshing flavours characteristic of the region’s juice more than the pigment of Kermit’s imagination. Pale straw to the naked eye, Sogrape’s Gazela 2011 Vinho Verde ($8.53 - $11.99) is a zesty, light-bodied wine with a zing of effervescence that tingles the tongue and adds lift to the subtle expression of citrus, lime and grapefruit. A classic summer wine style, Vinho Verde is perfect with anything that swims or crawls in the ocean and makes a relaxing back deck sipper on a warm afternoon.

A family’s search for the perfect cottage ends at Lantern Bay Resort in Muskoka.
The search for a family cottage isn’t as easy as one might think. Its location, amenities, activities for the kids, and more importantly fitting the purchase into the family budget. Everyone has a favourite memory of spending summers at the cottage, and if you don’t you must have heard a story or two. The cottage experience is as Canadian as peameal bacon and real maple syrup and should be experienced by everyone at least once in their life. Sitting by a campfire roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, and making “smores” is a rite of passage for any young camper.
The more we thought about cottage ownership, the more we realized it would mean two houses to maintain financially and physically. After all the whole idea was to get away from cutting grass and fixing things so I could spend more time with my children and simply relax.
“Fractional Ownership” cottages were affordable but they have maintenance fees and we couldn’t justify spending over one hundred thousand dollars for something the family could only use for only 4 or 5 weeks a year.
As we looked into cottages, we found it was quite simple to find something to rent, but what about ownership? The thought of being able to escape after a long week at work would be great, plus the kids having a safe and memorable place to spend their summers would be more than perfect. After a lot of research, what we found is, that cottages can be very expensive to say the least. Gone are the days when I grew up, where a $20,000 investment got you a family cottage on the lake. The cottages we liked seemed to cost as much as our home if not more, with some over four hundred thousand dollars.
So what was the answer? Lantern Bay Resort in Muskoka located on the banks of the world famous Trent Waterway was the perfect spot for my family. Approximately 90 minutes from Toronto, Lantern Bay Resort was one of the best waterfront properties we had come across. It sounded all too good to be true, full ownership, maintenance
free and activities for the kids...so what was the catch? We soon found out there wasn’t one. After the resort tour, we knew Lantern Bay was the perfect alternative for our family. We got a beautiful location on the water, a short drive from our home and a budget-friendly family “resort cottage” that we own. These 3-season homes are beautifully furnished and professionally decorated with “at home” amenities including full-sized kitchens, 4-piece baths and large decks, perfect for relaxing on and you can get it all from $79,900 to $119,900. The Resort Cottages are available in one, two and three bedroom floor plans that can sleep up to eight people comfortably. As owners we can take advantage of the activities and amenities the resort has to offer, from BBQ’s, kids activities, fishing, boat rentals, outdoor pool and more! PLUS we can earn up to $10,000 renting our cottage out when we’re not using it, with Ventura Resorts Rental Program! Contact our friends at Lantern Bay Resort by calling and arranging your personal site tour at 1-877-814-4141 or visit their website at www.lanternbayresort.com.

Winter latest casualty on TFC’s coaching carousel Paul Mariner believes he can turn around Toronto’s flailing soccer franchise with a few small tweaks. Mariner became No. 7 in the team’s revolving door of head coaches on Thursday after Aron Winter paid the price for Toronto FC’s dismal start to the season. “Hopefully a new message, a new voice, and a slight tweak in direction, but sticking with the longterm direction and we can start getting it right,” said Tom Anselmi, executive vice-president and chief operating officer for Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. Winter stepped down as coach, leaving with a regular-season mark of 7-2215, winning just one MLS game on the road. His team was outscored 80-44 during his tenure. The club stands last in the MLS at 1-9-0. The 59-year-old Mariner, the club’s director of player development who takes over coaching duties immediately, said he believes a few small changes, putting players in the proper positions, and hard work will right the sinking TFC ship. “The one thing that should be a given, and what the fans who pay money want to see is that the players are out there running and working and trying,” Mariner said. “That seems a pretty strange thing to say but when fans see that ... it goes through the team and it goes through the fans.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Brodeur breathes life into Devils’ cup hopes Goalie Martin Brodeur goes for a skate during Game 4 in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. BRUCE BENNETT/GETTY IMAGES FILE
NHL. Grizzled netminder gives New Jersey chance to turn around final against L.A. There was no way the moment was going to get the best of Martin Brodeur. He’s touched the Stanley Cup, lifted it in the air, had it out front of the house where he was raised in the Montreal borough of Saint Leonard. And he’s made an incredible career out of helping the New Jersey Devils win important games. So with Staples Center trembling in anticipation of a Stanley Cup sweep by the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night, it should be no surprise that Brodeur was at his best as the Devils forced a Game 5 back
in New Jersey on Saturday. “It’s just being in the moment,” he explained afterwards. “It’s really hard while you’re playing to really think about (past experiences) — even though some of them are successful, some are not. But for me, it’s living in the moment, living these experiences with these guys. That’s what hockey is all about.” With so much of the focus in this series on the outstanding play of Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick, Brodeur has almost been lost in the shuffle. But he stared down three breakaways in an extremely tight Game 4 and benefited from a couple fortunate breaks — two pucks rang off his post late in the first period — to keep the Stanley Cup from being presented. Whether it was just delaying the inevitable or the start of a
historic comeback by New Jersey, only time will tell. Brodeur has been candid about his team’s struggles in the series and knows that there is no room for error in his performance as a result. The fact he’s still able to meet that challenge a month after his 40th birthday is amazing. Few outsiders believed Brodeur would ever make his way back on to the big stage, especially since the Devils had only won two playoff series since he lifted his third cup in 2003. “I don’t think you’re ever surprised at what he does, how he handles everything,” Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said at the start of the final. “He has a personality that never looks back.... He’s changed his game accordingly to the way the style is. He’s a student.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kings make road look easy The Kings, 15-3 in the post-season, are the first team to grab a 3-0 lead in four straight series in one playoff year. •
But only one of those matchups ended in a sweep as Los Angeles has now dropped three Game 4s at home.
•
L.A. is heading back into its true comfort zone for Saturday’s Game 5 — the road. It is there that they have already set records with 10 straight victories in this post-season, and 12 playoff wins in a row, dating to last year. With one more win away from L.A., the Kings will also set the mark with 11 road wins in a single playoff. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

country’s success in preparing for the tournament. He also congratulated his country on building roads, stadiums and airports for Euro 2012 and called on his citizens Thursday in a televised address to exhibit “our Ukrainian hospitality, sincerity and friendliness.”
Poland captain Jakub Blaszczykowski is determined not to let his team make the same mistakes at the European Championship that have torpedoed the country’s hopes at past tournaments. Topping that list is losing the opening game. Poland was beaten in its first match at the 2002 and 2006 World Cups and the 2008 European Championship. It crashed out of each of those competitions in the group stage. “For sure, the last tournaments were not a success, and that’s why we’re trying not to repeat the mistakes of the past,” Blaszczykowski said Thursday. “But I’m convinced all of us players have done everything that we can to be ready for the first match. The most important thing is not to lose this game so as to head down the path of past tournaments.” The Poland side that will open this year’s competition on Friday against Greece at Warsaw’s new National Stadium in front of 55,000 fans is a very different team,
however, from the ones that failed to impress in the recent past. Above all, coach Franciszek Smuda has three topclass players to build the team around — the Borussia Dortmund trio of Blaszczykowski, striker Robert Lewandowski and defender Lukasz Piszczek. All three players are coming off stellar seasons during which they helped power Dortmund to a domestic double. Lewandowski netted 22 goals in 34 league matches and was named the Bundesliga’s player of the year. Blaszczykowski scored six goals and provided eight assists, while Piszczek contributed four goals and seven assists from his right back position. “We have players who can change the game at any moment to our advantage, and that’s the difference between this team and past teams,” Blaszczykowski said. The Poland captain and his teammates have an added incentive this year not to bow out early — they don’t want to disappoint the millions of home fans who have been waiting for this moment since Poland won the right five years ago to cohost the tournament with Ukraine.

The World Cup may be the best-known soccer tournament on the planet. It may not be the best. To many fans, the European Championship ranks as the top competition. This year’s continental championship, generally called Euro 2012, kicks off Friday in Warsaw when co-host Poland plays Greece at the National Stadium. Ukraine also will be hosting games. With only 16 teams instead of 32, many believe the calibre of play at the European Championship exceeds that at the World Cup, which gets diluted by some of the slots apportioned to areas of the globe weaker in soccer. Both tournaments take place every four years, but in

alternate even-numbered years. That puts the European Championship, which started in 1960 and became a full-fledged tournament in 1980 when eight teams competed, in the same summer as the Olympics. For Euro 2012, defending champion Spain — which also won the 2010 World Cup — is the favourite, especially with Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta controlling play. But the Netherlands and Germany are also contenders with their
own game-changing players, notably the Dutch trio of Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie and Wesley Sneijder. Others, like England with Wayne Rooney and Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo, will also be in the mix. Hooliganism is always an issue at major soccer tournaments; this year’s competition has already been marred by racism concerns and political turmoil in Ukraine. The 16 teams in the championship — the two co-hosts and 14 other nations that made it through a two-year qualifying tournament — have been split into four groups of four. The top two in each group reach the quarterfinals. The final will be played on July 1 in Kyiv. The associated press

Six of Euro 2012’s best
2 4 6 A closer look at some of the top players to watch during the tournament The associated press Photos by Getty Images
1 3 5 Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
If it wasn’t for Lionel Messi.... Ronaldo has been engaged in a hotly disputed fight with Messi to be considered the best player on the planet. The flashy Portugal forward has all the tricks in the book, but has been accused of never producing his best on the international stage. He can change all that here.
Xavi Hernandez (Spain)
With his sublime first touch, vision and passing range, the Barcelona star is the beatkeeper of the indomitable Spain. Voted player of the tournament at Euro 2008, he placed third in the last three World Player of the Year awards.
Mario Balotelli (Italy)
Robin van Persie (Netherlands)
His goal-scoring exploits for Arsenal this season have made Van Persie one of the most sought-after players in world football. He has a wand of a left foot to rival even the great Messi and will lead the Netherlands as they look to shake off their “underachievers” tag.
Whether it’s exploding fireworks in his bathroom or ripping off his jersey to display messages on T-shirts, the enigmatic Balotelli always provides a story. The striker has all the talent in the world and unbelievable coolness under pressure.
Wayne Rooney (England)
For Balotelli, read Rooney. His crazy kick-out at a Montenegro defender leaves him suspended for England’s first two games at Euros, but there was never a doubt he’d be picked on the squad. The Manchester United striker can be the best player in the world when he’s on and is one of England’s few world-class stars.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden)
Moody and temperamental, Ibrahimovic is often left frustrated by the limitations of his Sweden teammates. Outrageously skillful and a great scorer, he’s Sweden’s only worldclass player.

You might be Overpaying for Car Insurance There are ways to save without impacting coverage Each insurance company charges a different rate to insure the same driver with the same exact coverage – and these rates vary considerably. By not shopping around for car insurance, you could be paying hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars more than you should. Insurers use their own claims experience to determine their rates and each company will have a different history with
each driving profile and car combination. This could mean that you are overpaying for car insurance – and with so many insurance companies, odds are you may not be currently insured with the company that offers the best rate for your driving profile. The car you drive, where you live, where you drive, and your driving record are all factors that may affect your insurance rate. While most of these items are under your control, others such as the insurance company’s experience and corresponding rates are not. One insurance company may

charge more for being insured in your postal code, while others may charge more for insuring sport cars. Understanding all of these considerations and knowing that each insurance company charges different rates will help you find the best car insurance rate that suits your needs. The best way to save on your car insurance is to compare your insurance rate to those offered by other companies. But it can be extremely time consuming to compare the rates individually and brokers only offer rates from 4 to 5 different companies. Web sites like

Canada prepares to overcome obstacles World Cup qualifying. Stephen Hart’s team to contend with heat and ‘very long’ grass against Cuba
Dwayne DeRosario in action for Canada in Toronto on November 15, 2011. Chris Young/The Canadian Press
Stephen Hart expects the pitch at Havana’s Estadio Pedro Marrero to be as tough an opponent as the Cuban side his team is facing. In fact, the head coach of the Canadian men’s soccer team says the field will be the
“biggest thing to overcome” for his players when they take on Cuba in World Cup qualifying Friday. “The heat, there’s nothing you can do about that, just like there’s nothing you can do about the pitch,” Hart said Thursday on a conference call. “You just have to be mentally strong, you have to adapt, you have to endure and overcome it.” Hart described the grass at the multi-purpose Cuban stadium as “very thick, very heavy and very long” and unlikely to
be trimmed before the afternoon match. “It’s the traditional grass of the Caribbean. Nothing that we didn’t expect,” Hart said. “Every single country presents a different challenge in that respect.” The two countries have each appeared in only one World Cup finals — Canada in 1986 and Cuba in 1938. Canada comes into its first semifinal game with a string of victories over several Caribbean squads. It won 3-0 over Puerto Rico, 7-0 against St. Lucia and 4-0 versus St. Kitts and Nevis.
Canada is also coming off a friendly against the U.S., the heavyweights in CONCACAF. They played to a 0-0 draw Sunday at BMO Field in Canada’s first game with its full side this year. Despite the lack of scoring in the match, Hart isn’t about to change his tactics. “You have to ask if throwing on more attackers is going to give you goals,” said Hart. “I don’t think throwing on a bunch of attackers will make a difference. In football, everything is about the balance.” The canadian Press

Horoscope
Win!
Aries | March 21 - April 20.
You like to know what’s going on and you like to know what’s going to happen next but the Sun-Mars link will take you by surprise in a way.
Taurus | April 21 - May 21.
Hopefully you won’t take what happens today too seriously. You know how silly it is to struggle against events that cannot be controlled.
Gemini | May 22 - June 20.
You will have to sacrifice something that is precious to you for the greater good today. Remember: You are not making this decision just for yourself but for other people too. Cancer | June 21 - July 22. If you come on too strong today, you are likely to turn people against you, so tone down your act a bit. Charm is the key.
Read
Leo | July 23 - Aug. 22. There is no point moaning about what you are expected to do — just roll up your sleeves and get on with the job. Virgo | Aug. 23 - Sept. 22.
The problems you face are mostly problems you have created for yourself. Therefore, hoping that other people will resolve them for you isn’t going to work, is it?
Libra | Sept. 23 - Oct. 22.
Stand your ground today even if you find yourself up against someone whose power and position puts your own in the shade.
Scorpio | Oct. 23 - Nov. 21.
Partners may be pushy today but you must not give in to their demands. Let them know that you can’t be threatened and that no matter what, your answer is still ‘no’.
Sagittarius | Nov. 22 - Dec. 21. You will need to be tough today,
especially when dealing with people who seem to believe they have some sort of right to your time and energy.
Capricorn | Dec. 22 - Jan 20. No matter how strongly the
evidence points in one direction today, you must keep looking in other directions too.
You write it!
Aquarius | Jan. 21 - Feb 18.
If partners and colleagues want to play games today that’s up to them but you care only about reality.
Pisces | Feb. 19 - March 20.
Rise above your current situation. Once you understand that minor negative events are of no real importance you’ll feel happier — and achieve more too.
