Members of Rob Ford’s staff raised questions with him early on in his term about the ethics of using taxpayer-funded staff and vehicles to help with football teams, but the mayor would not budge, sources told the Torstar News Service. Instead, staffers made sure the special assistant working with Ford’s football teams was also doing a “good amount of constituent work, just in case reporters ever came knocking.” The amount of work devoted to football varied with the time of year, said one former staffer, but during the warm months and into the fall it’s fair to say football was the focus. According to a former young political aide who witnessed senior members of Ford’s circle arguing with him about alleged
misuse of city resources, the feeling was that Ford’s character transgressions — like the 911 calls and driving while talking on a cellphone — would not affect his core support. But the football issue “is the one type of thing that could actually piss off Ford Nation, because it goes against the bedrock principle of not dipping into the trough.” Added another former staffer: “That’s gravy,” of revelations that a car paid for by the city has been used to shuttle around high school athletes, that city cellphones are used to contact players, and that taxpayer-funded staff in the mayor’s office spend time working with the teams Ford coaches. Ford employs about half a dozen special assistants in his office, who execute a variety of duties. From the beginning of Ford’s term, one of those special assistant jobs was earmarked for the football file in addition to other duties.

Grieving parents call for inquest into son’s death Shop class explosion. A year after a fatal high-school accident, Eric Leighton’s family doesn’t have answers
‘Two classrooms away’
Kaitlyn Leighton JESSICA SMITH/METRO
jessica.smith@metronews.ca
Patrick and Sheri Leighton are calling for a coroner’s inquest into the death of their son Eric, who was killed in an explosion during his shop class in Ottawa. Eric Leighton was cutting a barrel with a hand grinder to make a barbecue for a class assignment at Mother Teresa Catholic High School in Ottawa in May 2011. Sparks ignited cleaning-solution fumes that were trapped inside and the barrel exploded. Paramedics found Eric after the blast with no vital signs. He was resuscitated en route to hospital, only to die the same day. Patrick said the shop teacher didn’t have enough knowledge about the project. “The product he was using, a cleaning product, is what killed my son,” he said. The project, making a barbecue, wasn’t on the curricu-

lum. In August, the Ottawa Catholic District School Board was fined $275,000 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The Leightons said they hope the coroner would make shop teachers stick to the curriculum and get another adult to approve shop project plans. The coroner has not yet accepted or rejected the family’s request for an inquest. Eric’s parents are upset with the school board and said
officials have not kept them informed about exactly what happened that day. “We just need answers to questions that we still have that nobody seems to want to step up and tell us,” said Eric’s mother, Sheri. She remembered her son as a top-notch hockey player. “He loved all sports. Didn’t matter what it was, he excelled at it all. To a mother’s eyes anyways, he did,” she said. She remembers his first day
of hockey “like it was yesterday. He didn’t want to go, but we threw him on the ice, and after that we couldn’t get him off.” Eric’s Junior B hockey team retired his jersey, even though he had only been with them for three months when he died. “They honoured and loved my child like there was no tomorrow. I just wish that the school board and the teacher had the same respect,” she said.
“For me, it’s difficult. I was two classrooms away from my brother when it happened,” said 17-year-old Kaitlyn Leighton. She continued to attend Mother Teresa Catholic High School for a few months after her brother died, before transferring away. “Seeing those doors every day —,” she said, before beginning to choke up. Kaitlyn said she has learned to stand up for herself since her brother died. She said students are usually too afraid of their teacher’s authority to tell them they feel unsafe. “I’m not afraid to go to a teacher any more,” she said.

Brampton gala leaves BSO out in the cold
Michael Todd, CEO of the Brampton Symphony Orchestra COLIN MCCONNELL/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
Mayor Rob Ford
Football complaint goes to integrity commissioner The former editor of a leftwing political website has complained to Toronto’s integrity commissioner over Mayor Rob Ford’s alleged use of city resources for work related to his
The Brampton Symphony Orchestra has been cut off from all funding from the mayor’s annual gala, a move its CEO alleges was in retaliation for his refusal to sign off on unsupported financial statements. The BSO, traditionally the prime beneficiary of the event, was informed Wednesday that it would get no money at all this year. Launched in 2005, Mayor Susan Fennell’s Gala — recently renamed Stepping Out For Brampton Inc. — contributed $150,000 to the orchestra in 2010 and $50,000 last year. BSO head Michael Todd has alleged the orchestra became a target after the gala fell under
heavy public scrutiny in 2010 for failing to make its finances public despite raising hundreds of thousands of dollars each year — much of it collected from well-heeled developers. “In December 2010, when the mayor’s gala was being investigated for not producing any financial statements, Mayor Fennell and her new gala chair, Heather Picken, asked me to sign off on financial statements that included $25,000 the symphony never received,” Todd said. He asked for cancelled cheques, invoices or receipts to prove how the unexplained $25,000 was spent. When nothing was provided he refused to
sign off on the document. The symphony now expects to have to postpone some concerts. Todd says he has secured one new sponsor and is looking for more to save the 2012 season. Fennell, who resigned as chair of the gala board in the midst of the controversy issued a written statement saying: “I
football teams. Jude MacDonald, a freelance writer and former editor-in-chief of Rabble. ca, submitted a seven-page affidavit plus supporting documentation on Thursday, asking integrity commissioner Janet Leiper to investigate. Under Article VI of the city’s code of conduct, members of council can’t use city staff or other re-
sources “for activities other than the business of the Corporation.” MacDonald noted that Ford, in a speech in July, thanked special assistant Isaac Shirokoff for “helping me left, right and centre with these kids.” Coaching duties require a major time commitment, Ford said in the same speech, at a fundraiser for his football foundation. “It’s every day from 3
to 6 o’clock for SeptemberOctober and, depending on how far the team goes in the playoffs, it could go to the end of November,” he said at the fundraiser. MacDonald, a Toronto resident since 1983, said she has no doubt the mayor’s staff work long hours, but found it troubling that the mayor and some aides are tied up during city business hours.

As such, I have no vehicle for participating in or influencing their funding decisions.” Gala board members Picken, who was listed as co-chair of fundraising for Fennell’s last election campaign; Dorothy Wood, Fennell’s neighbour (whose home address is listed as the gala’s address); and Bev Adcock, Fennell’s former secretary and campaign manager, did not respond to requests for comment.

Teacher denies sex claims Sexual assault charges. Student says he and former teacher engaged in at least five heavy petting sessions A Toronto teacher accused of sexually assaulting her former student has taken the stand to deny all allegations, insisting the only sexual encounter took place when the boy, then 15, made a crude pass at her. “I was dumbstruck,” said Mary Gowans Thursday. “I was shocked.” Gowans, 42, a former elementary school teacher with the Toronto public board, has pleaded not guilty to sexual interference and sexual assault of her former student in between June 2009 and January 2010. While on the stand in Ontario Superior Court, Gowans Quoted
Former Toronto elementary school teacher Mary Gowans took the stand in Toronto on Thursday to deny she had a romance with a 15-year-old former student. STEVE RUSSELL/TORONTO STAR
“I was friendly with all the students. He was friendly with me. He was very nice. He was very polite.” Former teacher Mary Gowans
denied anything inappropriate took place. “Was there any sexual touching initiated by you?” asked defence lawyer Peter Brauti. “No there was not,” Gowans answered. The mother of two said she separated from her husband of 17 years after she was arrested in January 2010 and suspended from her job. She said she resigned from the board with the encouragement of her union. The alleged victim, now 18, who cannot be identified, testified they became close when Gowans was his Grade 8 French teacher and after he graduated elementary school he went on to babysit her son and help her with athletic activities. The tall, muscular student told the trial this week as a Grade 10 student they had at least five heavy petting sessions while he was at her house babysitting, often while her two children were concealing themselves during a game of hide and seek. He testified she straddled him on a couch, exposed her breasts, and they French kissed. On two occasions, he said, she allowed him to place a hand on her private parts but she stopped him after about 30 seconds, saying it felt wrong. Torstar News Service

followed for a couple of blocks and then into an alleyway, where they confronted the rider, informing him the bike belonged to Park. Crossley stopped filming and pulled out a PDF of the police report describing the bike and showed the man. It matched, down to the serial number. “That was just like, ‘Checkmate, buddy. We just dominated you.’ He kind of started to move away from the bike and I just grabbed it.” Torstar News Service

Secret documents. Bentley found in breach of privilege Secret documents on the cost of scrapping Oakville and Mississauga power plants — both in Liberal ridings — must be released, the speaker of Ontario’s legislature ruled Thursday. The decision has Energy Minister Chris Bentley on the verge of a rare contempt of parliament censure for refusing to release the documents ordered by Chris Bentley a legislative Torstar News Service committee in May. While the $190-million cost of scrapping the Mississauga plant during last fall’s whiskerclose provincial election has been known since July, opposition parties have been frustrated in getting a tab for Oakville. The Progressive Conservatives and NDP charge the cancellations were part of a Liberal “seat saver” program to keep the government alive. “We need those documents to do our job,” said Conservative MPP Rob Leone (Cambridge), who made the motion to compel the papers. “What are you hiding?” he shot at Bentley during a roughand-tumble question period. In slamming Bentley for defying parliamentary privilege, Speaker Dave Levac set a deadline of Sept. 24 for the minority Liberal government and opposition parties to work out a deal on releasing the documents in some form. “We will be complying with the ruling,” said Bentley, who had argued the papers were commercially sensitive.

7-year-old girl’s bake sale to fund school in Haiti Bella Black is only seven, but she knows all about the earthquake that devastated Haiti and the need to build another school there — so she’s holding a bake sale to get it done. Three years ago, Black’s mother Helen Hatzis gave her daughter Bella Black a book about the Contributed Free The Children charity. She read it and pledged to raise the money to build a new school every year that she’s in school. So far, she has raised money for the charity to build schools for kids in Kenya and Haiti. “I hope that they learn a lot, I hope that they get really smart and I hope that they’re happy to have a school,” she said. This year’s bake sale will be held at 140 Swanwick Ave. from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Jessica Smith/metro

Men with divorced parents are three times more likely to suffer a stroke than men with married parents, according to new research from the University of Toronto. “A threefold risk is really quite a worrisome number,” said lead author Esme FullerThomson, the Sandra Rotman chair at University of Toronto’s Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work and Department of Family and Community Medicine. The study, to be published this month in the International Journal of Stroke, found no greater risk among daughters

of divorced parents. Researchers do not know with certainty why the chances of having a stroke are so much higher with men, but suspect it might have some-
thing to do with the stress hormone cortisol. Researchers analyzed data from the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically results of the 2010 Brief Risk Factor Surveillance System. A final sample studied involved questionnaire results from 4,074 males and 5,886 females. They were asked whether they had experienced parental divorce before age 18. Researchers took into account other factors that could increase the likelihood of stroke. torstar news service

Christian Egyptian made movie that sparked riots U.S. federal authorities have identified a Coptic Christian Egyptian in southern California who is on probation after his conviction for financial crimes as the key figure behind the anti-Muslim film that ignited mob violence against U.S. embassies across the Mideast, a U.S. law enforcement official said Thursday.

Twitter fight. Tweets from U.S. and Egypt get snarky after violence The snark is flying between the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and the Muslim Brotherhood in a Twitter spat in the wake of an assault on the mission by protesters in the Egyptian capital. The embassy’s tweets implied that the Brotherhood, whose longtime member Mohammed Morsi is Egypt’s new president, has been sending mixed messages, fueling public anger. It started when Ikhwanweb, the Twitter page of the Muslim Brotherhood, retweeted a message in English from the group’s deputy
head, Khairat el-Shater. “We r relieved none of (at) USEmbassyCairo staff were harmed & hope US-Eg relations will sustain turbulence of Tuesday’s events.” “Thanks,” the embassy replied. “By the way, have you checked out your own Arabic feeds? I hope you know we read those too.” “We understand you’re under a lot of stress,” came the Ikhwanweb retort, “but still it will be more helpful if you point out exactly the Arabic feed of concern.” The associated Press

In the past, protests have broken out over perceived insults to Islam from the West, but in Arab countries they never escalated to the degree of breaching embassies, suggesting now hard-liners feel they can act with impunity. Yemen’s president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, quickly apologized to the U.S. for the embassy attack and vowed to track down the culprits, just as Libya’s president did.
Ottawa’s response
Canada shut its embassy in Cairo for the day out of worries about security. • A Foreign Affairs spokes-
woman says the embassy is a close neighbour of the American mission, which has been the focus of angry protests.
• Canada shut down the
embassy for the day out of concern for the safety of staff, she says.

Parliament returns for fall sitting The House of Commons resumes its business in Ottawa on Monday. Here’s what you need to know heading in. ALEX BOUTILIER Metro in Ottawa
Nathan Cullen — NDP
Marc Garneau — Liberals
Peter Van Loan — Conservatives
House Leader Nathan Cullen said his party is focused on opposing the Conservative government while giving Canadians a sense of the NDP’s priorities. “We’re starting to turn the corner point for the next general election ... so we’re putting a number of things on the window so Canadians can understand what a New Democratic government would look like around things like health care, employment insurance, our energy plan for the future — some conversations that haven’t
For Garneau, the fall will be focused on what he calls “Part 2” of Bill C-38 — the omnibus budget implementation bill that featured everything from changes to environmental regulations to modifying the Old Age Security program. “There are still things that they announced in their budget back in the spring, that Mr. Flaherty announced, that have not been put in a budget implementation bill ... and of course we’ll be watching very closely to see if this will be yet another kitchen sink bill or if the
Unsurprisingly, jobs and the economy appear to be top of mind for Conservative House Leader Peter Van Loan, whose party will bring in another omnibus budget bill this fall. “Our top priority is the economy, job creation and economic growth. That has been the case and it will continue in the fall. That means the cornerstone in legislation will be the budget implementation act, which will put into law the elements of the budget from the spring that we haven’t passed yet ... Everything in it will be
Alberta mourns. Former premier dies in hospital Peter Lougheed, the man with a bulldog chin and crooked grin who transformed Alberta into a modern petro-powered giant and an equal player in Confederation, has died. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office confirmed the 84-year-old former premier’s death Thursday. “On behalf of all Canadians, Laureen and I offer our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Peter Lougheed,” Harper said in a statement. “Today Canada lost a truly great man. Peter Lougheed was quite simply one of the most remarkable Canadians of his generation.” The Calgary-born lawyer and Alberta premier from 1971 to 1985 leaves behind a profound record of achievement and influence on public policy. He took the reins of the fledgling Progressive Conservatives in 1965 and within six years had built a party that turfed a decades-old Social Credit dynasty and launched one of his own that continues to this day. As oil prices shot to stratospheric levels in the 1970s, Lougheed became a provincial folk hero and a nationally recognized figure for his epic battles with Ottawa over control of Alberta’s black gold. the Canadian Press

Real Minority Report: How the FBI spots mass killers Crime fighting. FBI has installed a team to determine which unstable students may turn into murderers ELISABETH BRAW
Metro World News in London
This year, seven people were shot dead at Oikos University in California. Last year, three people were shot dead at San Jose State University, also in California. The year before, two people were killed at Ohio State University. In 2007, a student at Virginia Tech shot and killed 32 professors and fellow students. The list goes on and on. André Simons heads the FBI team tasked with ending it. Simons, a supervisory special agent, heads the Behavioral Threat Assessment Center (BTAC) at the agency’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. “We don’t track potential mass killers on college campuses,” he explains. “But universities often come to us for help when a student’s behaviour becomes dangerous.” In other words, when university professors, psychologists or police spot suspicious actions or statements by a student — or a professor or other employee — they call Simons’ team. Each year the BTAC, which was established only two years ago, receives more than 100 assis-

Currency. Mint drops royalty for folk musician’s penny-inspired album The Royal Canadian Mint has backed down in a dispute with a Nova Scotia folk singer over his upcoming album’s depiction of the penny. The mint had told Dave Gunning he faced a royalty of $1,200 if he produced in excess of 2,000 albums because they contained images of the copper-plated coin. But Christine Aquino, a spokeswoman for the mint, said Thursday it no longer plans to charge him that fee. Gunning could not be reached for comment Thursday, but said in a statement he was pleased the mint stopped penny pinching. “They were just trying to do Parasite

The beef product known as lean finely textured beef, or “pink slime,” is frozen on a large drum as part of its manufacturing process at the Beef Products Inc.’s plant in South Sioux City, Neb.

Beef Products Inc. sued ABC News Inc. for defamation Thursday over its coverage of a meat product that critics dub “pink slime,” claiming the network damaged the company by misleading consumers into believing it is unhealthy and unsafe. The Dakota Dunes, S.D.based meat processor is seeking $1.2 billion US in damages for roughly 200 “false and misleading and defamatory” statements about the product officially known as lean, finely textured beef, said Dan Webb, BPI’s Chicago-based attorney. The lawsuit filed in a South Dakota state court also names several individuals as defendants, including ABC news anchor Diane Sawyer and the Department of Agriculture microbiologist who coined the term “pink slime.” ABC News, owned by The
Malice?
BPI will have to prove the network intended to cause harm, said Patrick Garry, a media law expert at the University of South Dakota School of Law. • “The media — regard-
less of your opinion of them — don’t usually print something that they know to be false,” Garry said. “It may be negligent, but usually there’s a malice requirement as well.”
Walt Disney Co., denied BPI’s claims. “The lawsuit is without merit,” Jeffrey W. Schneider, the news station’s senior vicepresident, said in a brief statement Thursday. “We will contest it vigorously.” Craig Letch, BPI’s director of food-quality assurance, said the company lost 80 per cent of its business in 28 days. BPI has declined to discuss how much it lost in sales, but acknowledged it took a “substantial” hit. the associated press

Thousands flee area close to Guatemala’s Volcano of Fire Dangerous. Explosions heard coming from the long-active volcano which is now spewing lava and ash Guatemala’s head of emergency evacuations says more than 33,000 people are fleeing the eruption of a longactive volcano just outside one of the country’s most famous tourist attractions. Sergio Cabanas says the evacuees are leaving some 17 villages around the Volcano of Fire, which sits about 16 km from the colonial city of Antigua. The agency says the volcano spewed lava nearly 600 metres down slopes billowing with ash on Thursday. Seismologists also say a series of explosions have been coming from the 3,763-metre-high volcano. the associated press
Baby boys. Danger to infants in ritual New York City’s Board of Health voted Thursday to require parental consent for a form of circumcision that involves oral suction, a ritual practiced by some ultraOrthodox Jews. The board voted 9-0 to require that anyone performing the ritual obtain written consent from the infant’s parent or guardian. The parents will have to sign a form acknowledging that the city Health Department advises against the practice because of risks of herpes and other infections. The procedure is called “metzitzah b’peh” in Hebrew. The person performing the circumcision cleans the wound by sucking blood. the associated press

put out your hand and touch the face of God’ Neil Armstrong. Americans say goodbye to first man to walk on the moon
The powerful of Washington, the pioneers of space, and the everyday public crowded into the Washington National Cathedral Thursday for a public interfaith memorial for a very private astronaut. Armstrong, who died last month in Ohio at age 82, walked on the moon in July 1969. A private service was held earlier in suburban Cincinnati for Armstrong, who will be buried at sea. Apollo 11 crewmates Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, Mercury astronaut John Glenn, and about two dozen members of Congress were among the estimated 1,500 people in the cavernous cathedral. A moon rock that the Apollo 11 astronauts gave the church in 1974 is embedded in one of its stained-glass windows. “You have now shown
once again the pathway to the stars,” Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, said in a tribute to Armstrong. “As you soar through the heavens beyond even where eagles dare to go, you can now finally put out your hand and touch the face of God.” Cernan was followed by a slow and solemn version of the song Fly Me to the Moon by singer Diana Krall. The service also included excerpts from a speech 50 years ago by John F. Kennedy in which he said America chose to send men to the moon not because it was easy but because it was hard. Shortly after that speech in 1961 at Rice University, Armstrong, not yet an astronaut but always a gifted engineer, was already working on how to land a spaceship on the moon, NASA administrator Charles Bolden recalled. Former U.S. treasury secretary John Snow told the gathering of the 12-year-old Armstrong who built a wind tunnel. But most of Armstrong’s friends and colleagues spent time remembering the

humble Armstrong. Snow called him a “regular guy” and “the most reluctant of heroes.” NASA administrator Charles Bolden, a former astronaut, said Armstrong’s humility and courage “lifted him above the stars.” Bolden read a letter from President Barack Obama saying, “The imprint he left on the surface of the moon is matched only by the extraordinary mark he left on ordinary Americans.” Armstrong commanded the historic landing of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the moon July 20, 1969. His first words after stepping onto the moon are etched in history books: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Producer jailed after gay play staged in Uganda Man faces 2 years in jail if convicted. Says he was singled because he had become play’s ‘public face’ The British producer of a play about being gay in Uganda is in jail pending his trial on charges that he had the work performed without official authorization. David Cecil appeared in court Thursday charged with “disobeying lawful orders” from the Uganda Media Council, which says he staged The River and the Mountain in Uganda’s capital last month despite orders not to. Cecil’s lawyer, Francis Onyango, said his client was not released on bail because his passport, wanted by the magistrate, had been confiscated by the police. Cecil told The Associated Press that the play, whose main character is a gay businessman who finally gets killed by his own employees, was performed eight times at

Robber describes amputation of hand, foot Speaking from his hospital bed, a young man whose hand and foot were amputated this week by the radical Islamic group controlling northern Mali described an agony unlike any other. Youssoufa Hamidou was convicted of carrying out highway robberies, a crime punishable by double amputation, according to the strict form of Shariah, or Islamic law. “When it was my turn, they took me blindfolded, and tied my right arm and my left leg just above the ankle with plastic ties to stop the circulation,” Hamidou said. “Suddenly I felt a pain in my right hand that was

Homosexuals are highly stigmatized in Uganda, where in 2010 a lawmaker with the ruling party introduced a bill proposing the death penalty for what he called “aggravated homosexuality.” The bill, which is now in committee, has been condemned by some world leaders. The bill’s author says he still believes it will be passed one day.

Romney opts for ‘safer political ground’
U.S. election. Republican candidate steers clear of foreign affairs and tackles Obama’s position on the economy at campaign appearance
Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney veered away from a blistering two days of ill-timed attacks on
President Barack Obama’s handling of foreign affairs Thursday, and instead steered to safer political ground: the struggling American economy. At a campaign appearance in Virginia, Romney returned to his standing promises to revitalize the U.S. economy, which he said is a first requirement for continued American military dominance. Recalling Obama’s successful 2008 campaign mes-
Luring voters. Bosnian mayoral candidate using porn to boost campaign A mayoral candidate in Bosnia’s fourth-largest city is using one of the Internet’s greatest lures — pornography — to draw attention to his campaign. Mirad Hadziahmetovic is an independent candidate with a relatively slim chance of winning the October election in Zenica. He said Thursday that he decided to upload pornographic video clips to his official campaign site after realizing that large num-
bers of people use the Web to peruse sexual content. To view the material on his site, visitors must answer questions, such as “What is more important for Zenica, job creation or increasing the municipal budget” through taxes? At the end of each clip there is a separately recorded video of Hadziahmetovic talking directly to camera and saying: “If you liked this clip, vote for me.”
sage of hope and change, Romney told his audience in a Washington suburb: “We want real changes, I’m going to bring real change and get America working again.” Romney’s dramatic move back to campaigning on the U.S. economy, the No. 1 issue for American voters, followed heavy political fire from Obama, congressional Democrats and even some powerful Republican voices. He was roundly criticized for seeking political advantage
by accusing the president of apologizing to radical Islamists as they killed a U.S. ambassador and three other diplomatic workers in Libya and attacked the U.S. embassy in Egypt. Romney’s message Thursday was a reprise intended to remind voters of his long career in high finance and business as co-founder of Bain Capital, a private-equity firm from which he amassed a quarter-billion-dollar fortune. the associated press

The 53-year-old astronaut says that while he’ll be busy doing experiments and maintaining the space station, he’ll also take time during evenings and weekends to play and record the songs he’s written. Some of those sessions will include other members of the musical astronaut trio. “It’s an extension of communication,” Hadfield said. “We can talk in Russian, we can talk in French, we can talk in English and we can talk in music — and it’s a really fundamental human form of artistic communication.” The canadian Press

Captain, crew faulted in tragedy
GREAT SAVINGS
Cruise chaos. Passengers have described confused, delayed evacuation Court-appointed experts have pointed the finger of blame primarily at the captain of a cruise ship that ran aground off Italy, but also faulted the crew and ship owner for a series of blunders, delays and security breaches that contributed to the disaster and the deaths of 32 people. The Costa Concordia ran aground and capsized Jan. 13 off the Tuscan island of Giglio after Capt. Francesco Schettino took it off course in a stunt. He is accused of causing the shipwreck, manslaughter and abandoning the ship before all passengers were evacuated. Eight other people are also under investigation, and the court in Grosseto ordered the expert investigation to help it determine which if any should be put on trial. A hearing is scheduled for next month.

In a 270-page analysis, the experts said a series of problems hobbled the response to Schettino’s manoeuvre and contributed to the botched evacuation: Crew members bungled directions, didn’t understand orders and weren’t trained or certified in security and emergency drills. And they said ship owner Costa Crociere delayed alerting coastal authorities about the emergency — a charge Costa denied Thursday. In a statement, Costa said by law it was Schettino who was supposed to have alerted

authorities about the accident, and that the captain assured the Costa crew on land that he had done so. And regardless, Costa said, Schettino’s reports to Costa’s headquarters were so delayed, partial and confused that the company couldn’t discern how serious the emergency was. And Costa firmly rejected the experts’ claims that the crew was unprepared for emergencies, saying the “alleged defects in the certifications of some of the crew” didn’t affect the evacuation.

Canada maintains it isn’t stalling on Omar Khadr’s return Federal government. The delay is the fault of the Americans, the feds say about why Khadr is still in Guantanamo Bay New court documents show the Canadian government is defending itself against allegations it is deliberately dragging its feet in allowing Omar Khadr to return from Guantanamo Bay by arguing much of the delay is the fault of the Americans. In an affidavit filed in response to a Federal Court application by Khadr’s lawyers, a senior public safety official cites two main reasons for the lack of a decision to an application for Khadr to serve out his sentence in Canada — something he was eligible to do starting last October.
Omar Khadr listens to closing arguments Oct. 30, 2010 in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. janet hamlin/the canadian press
The first reason cited was a delay in Washington’s approval of the transfer — granted only this past spring. The second reason was Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’s request for sealed videos of mental assessments of the inmate done for military prosecutors — apparently only discovered in February through media reports. Khadr pleaded guilty to five crimes, including murder, in violation of the rules of war before a widely discredited military commission in October 2010. He applied to transfer to Canada in April of last year. In an affidavit by Mary Campbell, the Correctional Service of Canada finished processing the application in October 2011 — around the time Khadr was eligible to return under terms of his widely reported plea deal.
Background
The U.S. indicated its approval of Khadr’s transfer in April and provided the actual hard-copy package in May. • Correspondence. Canada began to correspond with the U.S. in March about sealed videotapes of assessments done by a psychiatrist and military psychologist — after learning about their existence through media reports a month earlier. • Requirements. Because the tapes had been sealed, it would require a joint defence-prosecution request to the head of the military commissions and a security clearance to have them released to the Canadian government. It took until Sept. 5 for the tapes to reach the ministry.

Save on Car Insurance by Shopping Around Nothing to lose, so much to gain. Getting insurance quotes can be a lengthy process, especially if you’re calling around to numerous insurance companies. Online quoting services like InsuranceHotline.com make it easy for drivers to get car insurance quotes that are compared against more than 30 insurance companies – in just 5 to 10 minutes. Rates change regularly. The most
obvious benefit of shopping around for car insurance is the possibility of getting a better rate and saving a lot of money. Because rates change frequently, it’s important to check rates periodically, as a rate obtained in the last year could have decreased since then with a different provider. While insurance companies change their rates, your driver profile may have also changed, which will affect your rate – A ticket or accident falling of your record, a vehicle change or a moving to a new home can affect your car insurance rate.
Each insurance company views drivers differently. For drivers with tickets or accidents on their record, the biggest benefit of shopping around is to see which companies may rate that ticket or accident less harshly than others. Each insurance company determines how to rate for different types of tickets or accidents, which means that a better rate may be available somewhere else. In fact, rates can be vastly different for the same driver with the same ticket with two different companies. Reviewing insurance policy. Shopping for insurance quotes forces drivers to
review their policy to make sure that there aren’t any errors or omissions about their vehicle or driving history, or perhaps any missed discounts that should be applied. Staying on top of these things ensures having the right coverage and paying the best rate. and Visit InsuranceHotline.com compare insurance quotes for free, with an unbiased rate comparison from a network of over 30 insurance companies to find a lower car insurance rate. You could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars in just a few minutes.
Making the right choice starts with choice. Your search for the right insurance rate should be exhaustive, not exhausting. Only InsuranceHotline.com gives you an unbiased comparison of over 30 premier insurance companies, so you can find a rate that works for you — without impacting your coverage.

Venezuela’s opposition presidential candidate fired a top aide on Thursday for allegedly taking bribes in a corruption scandal that has injected a new controversy into the heated race campaign ahead of next month’s election. Henrique Capriles, who has vowed to root out Venezuela’s decades-old rampant corruption, ousted deputy
Juan Carlos Caldera for using the candidate’s name to gain benefits. State television released a grainy subtitled video that shows Caldera sitting across from a man who asks him to set up a meeting with Capriles. Caldera promises to look into it, adding that a meeting outside Venezuela would be less risky. The man, unseen on camera, hands Caldera two stacks of bills that the lawmaker stashes into a manila envelope. The associated Press

Kate makes plea for palliative care First speech abroad. Duchess of Cambridge says ‘lives can be transformed’ by providing hospices for child patients and their families Prince William’s wife, Kate, stressed the importance of specialized medical care for seriously ill children Thursday in her first speech outside the United Kingdom. The Duchess of Cambridge said while visiting a Malaysian hospice that “lives can be transformed” by providing places of support for child patients and their families. The royal couple is on a nine-day tour of the Far East and South Pacific in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee. William and Kate arrived in Malaysia on Thursday after visiting Singapore. They had lunch with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and

other government officials before visiting a hospice in a Kuala Lumpur suburb. Kate spoke of the need for “life-changing” care of dying patients. She talked of her education about palliative care through her role as patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices. “Through this patronage, I have learnt that delivering the best possible palliative care to children is vital,” she said. “It has been wonderful

meeting the patients, families and all the staff here — you have given us the most wonderful welcome.” During a private visit inside the hospice, William and Kate chatted with young patients and drew on clay bricks. William drew a cat and mouse that resembled cartoon characters Tom and Jerry, while Kate drew a tree with birds flying above it, according to British Embassy representatives. About 20 children from a nearby kindergarten waited for the couple to arrive outside the facility. Some waved Malaysian flags and a colourful banner that included the words “Welcome” and “We love you.” Kate, who is patron of the East Anglia Children’s Hospice, a U.K.-based charity, said she was excited to be learning about Malaysia’s first palliativecare program for children. William and Kate visited Singapore on Thursday and are scheduled to visit Borneo island before heading to the Solomon Islands on Saturday.

Royal visit. Putting a smile on a sick boy’s face For his mother, for the staff at Hospis Malaysia, it was a gift rarely seen on the face of the 15-year-old boy with acute leukemia. But when Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, sat down next to him on Thursday, there it was, as big and as bright as ever. “It was as if the leukemia had gone,” said his mother, Norizan Sulong, who was moved to tears. Zakwan was so looking forward to Kate’s visit to the hospice, he postponed his scheduled blood-transfusion treatment so there was no chance he would miss her. The duchess chatted with Zakwan, who had his birthday two days ago, for about 15 minutes as his mother sat beside them. “Zakwan is normally very
sleepy and in pain, crying, almost giving up hope, but today, my God, it was as if the leukaemia had gone,” said his mom Norizan. “He is in more pain because he put off his blood transfusion and he needed a lot of painkillers, but I don’t see the need for that now. God bless her. I cannot repay that kindness.” Dr. Ednin Hamzah, founder of Hospis Malaysia, praised Kate for her work with hospices. “I think the duchess could become the champion for the hospice movement worldwide if she wants to take on that mantle,” he told the assembled media. “It’s not by chance that we were picked for her first speech abroad. It wasn’t a random thing.” TORSTAR news service

Hacking that starts before the bubble wrap comes off Built-in viruses. Highly-contagious bug connects users to a network of computers as it boots up A customer in Shenzhen, China, took a brand new laptop out of its box and booted it up for the first time. But as the screen lit up, the computer began taking on a life of its own. The machine, triggered by a virus hidden in its hard drive, began searching across the Internet for another computer. The laptop, suppos-
edly in pristine, super-fast, direct-from-the-factory condition, had instantly become part of an illegal, global network capable of attacking websites, looting bank accounts and stealing personal data. For years, online investigators have warned consumers about the dangers of opening or downloading files emailed to them from unknown or suspicious sources. Now, they say malicious software and computer code could be lurking on computers before the bubble wrap even comes off. The shopper in this case was part of a team of Microsoft researchers in China

The documents are part of a computer fraud lawsuit filed by Microsoft against a web domain registered to a Chinese businessman named Peng Yong. The company says it is a major hub for illicit Internet activity. The domain is home base for Nitol and more than 500 other types of malware, making it the largest single repository of infected software that Microsoft officials have ever encountered. the associated press

NYC Board of Health bans supersized sodas Controversy. Some applaud the move while others mock it as a nanny-state decision New York City’s Board of Health opened up a new, experimental front in the war on obesity Thursday, passing a rule banning sales of big sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, concession stands and other eateries. The regulation, which was proposed in the spring by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and approved by a panel of health experts after several months of review, puts a 475-millilitre (16-ounce) size limit on cups and bottles of non-diet soda pop, sweetened teas, and other calorie-packed beverages. The ban will apply in fastfood joints, movie houses and Broadway theatres, workplace cafeterias, and most other places selling prepared food. It doesn’t cover beverages sold in supermarkets or most convenience stores. The restaurant and beverage industries have assailed the plan as misguided. They say the city’s health experts are exaggerating the role sugary beverages have played in making Americans fat. One board member, Dr. Sixto R. Caro, abstained from voting. The other eight board

Tieless TIFF. Amidst all the glamour at the Neil Morton Toronto International metronews.ca Film Festival, a men’s fashion trend emerged: Actors going tieless.

The Secret Service didn’t seem to mind when muscular six-foot-three Florida pizza restaurant owner Scott Van Duzer picked up the president and gave him a huge bear hug, with Obama laughing away, in a photo gone viral. Maybe that’s because he’s a registered Republican who voted for Obama in 2008, and plans to do so again on Nov. 6. In any case, bear hugs are the new fist pumps. Andy Murray ace. Britain’s post-Olympics euphoria continued this week after Murray won his first grand slam title, defeating Novak Djokovic in the US Open final 7-6, 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2.

Animal union
What usually happens
Cheetah and dog’s unlikely friendship Anybody who reckons cats and dogs are natural enemies should think twice after spotting Cincinnati Zoo’s latest adorable couple. Max, a 13-week-old Labrador, is pictured giving Savannah the cheetah cub a wet kiss. The pair are part of the zoo’s program which sees all their cheetahs have dog companions. Metro
“Cheetahs, being skittish animals, will do as they typically do and hunt the farmers’ livestock (in their native Africa). But, when they hear the dog barking they will run away, which saves the farmer from having to shoot the cheetah.” Tiffany Barnes from Cincinnati Zoo explains the idea behind the program
Oddest animal couples
• Snake and rodent. Zookeepers at Tokyo’s Mutsugoro Okoku zoo were startled when their resident rat snake refused to eat a dwarf hamster, and instead forged an unlikely friendship in a glass box home. The zoo’s explanation was that snake Aochan had a taste for frozen rodents, so wasn’t keen on downing Gohan. • Kangaroo and wombat. Baby kangaroo Anzac and baby wombat Peggy developed a union after
the pair, both orphans, shared a pouch at Wildlife Kilmore Rescue Centre near Melbourne, Australia. But reports say the marsupials enjoyed each other’s company because they have similar movements and heartbeats. • Cat and squirrel. Domestic cat Tito from Envigado, Colombia, seemed to have adopted baby squirrel Firulais by breast-feeding and caring for the creature. The cat’s owner brought Firulais home after finding it alone and wounded on a tree branch.

Goodbye summer, hello Oscar season Fall fare. The Reel Guys talk about their picks for school season — from critical darlings to plain old trashy fun
an L.Ron Hubbard-type leader of a cult much like Scientology. Probably no kung fu in it, but expect a lot of verbal sparring between Hoffman and his prize acolyte played by Joaquin Phoenix. And talk about eye candy, the previews for The Life of Pi, a book I could never get around to reading, look ravishing.
Richard: Mark, the fall season brings with it the usual number of Oscar bait movies, but one that I am excited to see probably won’t win any gold unless they give it an award for kicking butt. The Man with the Iron Fists is a homage to the kung fu movies I grew up with, and how can I not be intrigued by the cast which includes Lucy Liu, Russell Crowe and Wu-Tang Clan member RZA! What’s grabbed your eye?
RC: The Life of Pi offers up beautiful looking images, but for me the movie most likely to make my eyeballs dance this fall is Frankenweenie. Tim Burton uses black-and-white stop motion to bring a story about a boy and his dead dog to vivid life. Can’t wait. Also looking forward to Seven Psychopaths because any movie that stars both Christopher Walken and Tom Waits has to be all kinds of awesome.
Mark: The Master, starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman as
MB: I’m with you on the Psychopaths, Richard. I loved director
Martin McDonagh’s last film, In Bruges, and the twisted showbiz plot of this one appeals to me. I could pretend I’m waiting anxiously for Spielberg’s Lincoln biopic, or whatever kind of incomprehensibility Terrence Malick’s new masterpiece may bring, but who am I kidding? What I’m really excited about is Taken 2. Liam Neeson kicking Central European butt! I hope it’s exactly like the first one. In fact, I hope the dialogue is exactly the same, so I can mouth the words along with the actors onscreen. RC: Not sure how those sitting around you would feel about that, but I hear you. The first Taken was great, trashy fun. I hope for more from the second one. I’m also hoping for slightly more elegant but still downand-dirty action from Skyfall, the new James Bond flick.

Want to make your own feature film? Take a page from the book of Picnicface Roller Town. Comedy troupe from Halifax raised funds in some unique ways — like selling space in the film credits Steve Gow
scene@metronews.ca
Looking for money to make your very own feature film in Canada? Well, Halifax comedy troupe Picnicface has a few ideas. “We had a fundraising campaign to get some money,” admitted director Andrew Bush regarding Roller Town — the troupe’s debut comedy, which hits theatres September 21. “We were like ‘hey, if you want your name in the credits, send us twenty bucks and you can have any title you want as long as its not a real title’.” Innovative if nothing else, the unorthodox strategy certainly helped create a budget — as well as create end credits that aren’t only about “12 or 15 minutes” long but as funny the film itself. “Some of (the credits) are so disgusting and terrifying,” laughed Bush. “One guy even paid a thousand bucks to have a picture of himself in the movie and we put it in.” A zany spoof of the extremely brief fad of roller-skating films that occurred “between the summer of 1979 and the winter of 1979”, Roller Town is a period tale about one roller-

skating wizard who stands up to gangsters trying to ruin the rinks with the on-set of addictive video games. “We got (the idea) from

ic genre film that hasn’t been touched on in this way.” Not unlike other comedy troupes such as Broken Lizard, Picnicface also heavily improvised the 1970s comedy which kept the filmmaking mostly stress free — even though it was shot in a whirlwind 17 days. “It was a super fun movie to make,” says Bush. “As a director watching it, I was just letting the actors do their thing because they’re so brilliant.”

Three reasons to see Finding Nemo ... in 3D Today, Disney once more digs into their vaults and pulls out a classic, rendering it in 3D — the 1999 Oscar-winning film Finding Nemo. Here’s three highlights of Finding Nemo that have my two lads excited. chris alexander scene@metronews.ca
The opening barracuda attack, tragic as it is, never fails to grip the lads. With fertile eggs and toothy fish flying off the screen, it might skirt traumatic (Nemo’s mom meets her end here after all) but will no doubt be thrilling in 3D.
Similarly, when poor father Marlin and his pal Dory meet the hulking Bruce the Shark, a great white on a fish free diet, the scent of blood in the water makes the pseudo-noble shark snap and he goes ballistic trying to eat our heroes. I imagine much popcorn will be spilled as the boys try to dodge those 3D “jaws”.
Finding Nemo is one funny flick. Case in point: The fab sequence in which Nemo’s captor, a dentist, sticks him in an office tank filled with other assorted pretty fish and they all act as a Greek chorus while said dentist drills his patients into spitting, screaming fits.

Michael Madsen in drunk driving investigation Actor Michael Madsen was released from a hospital after being arrested for investigation of drunken driving on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, his attorney said Thursday. Madsen, 54, best known for the Quentin Tarantino movies Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, had complained of an undisclosed medical problem following his arrest Wednesday and has since been released, said lawyer Perry Wander. Madsen was arrested after driving erratically in a red Pontiac GTO. In a preliminary test, he had a blood alcohol level of 0.21, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08, said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department. Wander said Madsen had been taking prescription drugs that could have resulted in a faulty sobriety test.

Canadian filmmaker Ruba Nadda wowed fans and critics with romantic drama Cairo Time. Second time out, actors Alexander Siddig seems to be the only vestige left from that film’s languid style. Inescapable casts Siddig as a Syrian political dissident forced to return to his abandoned homeland after his daughter goes missing while digging through her father’s shady past. But Inescapable is a thriller that doesn’t thrill. Joshua Jackson and Marisa Tomei deliver some solid supporting performances but rooting for the safe return of Siddig’s daughter is less an investment in the film and more an act of self-preservation from boredom.

SEA IT IN
While he is inarguably an ace stylist and orchestrator of action, director Paul Anderson isn’t much of a writer. It’s this latter factor that causes many a critic to dismiss his ongoing Resident Evil films as dross. But taken as visceral thrill rides they’re rather brilliant. This fifth entry is a mind bending sensorial rush, with meticulous 3D photography, non-stop action and yet another astonishing physical performance from Anderson’s wife, actress Milla Jovovich. The film is structured like the video games it was based on so forget the plot and don’t go searching for Shakespearean exchanges of dialogue.

Films that celebrate groups of girls gone wild Bachelorette. The trash-talking toughness of recent female-fronted movies shows a vulnerability felt by some women heidi patalano
Metro World News in New York
Though getting its theatrical release a year after the arrival of Bridesmaids, Bachelorette -— starring Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan and Isla Fischer — was first a stage play, written by Leslye Headland well before the release of Kristen Wiig’s smash hit. But the fact that two recent movies deal with begrudgingly single women who booze their way to the altar in support of a happy friend might be saying something about the moment young ladies are
having today. Playing a character in Bachelorette who sleeps around, mocks the bride and brings a bottle of baby powder loaded with cocaine to the festivities, Lizzy Caplan understands what could be at the root of all the bad bridesmaid behaviour, in her character’s case at least. “I think all of our (characters’) little attitudes and tricks worked really well for us as a clique in high school, and none of that seems to be helping us at all in our adult lives, and yet we keep going back to that same well hoping, ‘I stand to regain that success and popularity that we enjoyed in high school,’” Caplan says. “I love my character because what I see in her is not this trash-talking, slutty facade that she presents to the world; I see more of this scared (little girl), very vulnerable and very incapable
of showing real emotions or dealing with her feelings.” As with any film that shoots a bachelorette party, there is the inevitable stripper scene. We asked the veteran comedy actress to weigh in on which traditional hen party staples she approves of. “The bachelorette parties that I’ve been a part of, we incorporate that stuff. But I don’t exactly run with
a crowd that a penis straw would really freak them out. (Like), ‘We’re being so wild tonight!’ “I don’t think that’s really gonna shock many of my friends,” she says with a laugh. “I am pro-stripper because I really enjoy an uncomfortable situation. And without fail, after the first initial shock of a surprise stripper, it’s just uncom-
fortable — and I get a huge kick out of that.” On the web... • Bachelorette. Is available now through iTunes.

Staying true to a Dickens classic Great Expectations. The director and stars of the movie strive to offer a faithful silver screen adaptation Ned Ehrbar
Metro World News in Hollywood
When Great Expectations director Mike Newell sat down for our chat at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, along with stars Jeremy Irvine (Pip) and Holliday Grainger (Estella), they each had something to say about bringing a more faithful
adaptation of the classic novel to the big screen. Mike Newell on taking on a pillar of British literature To start, I thought to myself that nobody has any trouble going to watch three different versions of Hamlet or King Lear or whatever in a year. People will watch them for the contrasts, they will watch them for the differences. And we were making it in a year when the BBC were transmitting a very good television version of the same thing. But we had the 200th anniversary of his birth to hang it on, so that was good. But then you had to say to yourself, ‘Why are you interested in the story?’ And I was interested because I thought the emotional
lives of the characters were very extreme, and so on the one end of the thing you would get sort of “comedy” performances, which were outrageous. They were big and brassy and musical. And I thought, “Well, that’s Dickens.” And then on the other side of it, when things get to be unhappy, it’s very black and very brutal. And I wanted to show the collision of those two things. Jeremy Irvine on finding the darker side of Pip One of the first questions Mike asked me when we were sitting down talking was, “Why is Pip such a little s---?” It all comes from the fact that this is a character who has been emotionally and physically
beaten up all his life, and he gets it in his head that becoming a gentleman is his way out of this. If you look it at face value, this is someone suffering from domestic violence and is constantly being put down, so this is just a whimsical, childish idea, becoming a gentleman. This is everything. And it becomes a real dark, burning, enveloping idea. Rather than doing what I’ve seen in a few other versions, where it’s often a wide-eyed kind of innocent Pip, kind of not knowing what to do with himself, I wanted to make Pip strong and somebody who has had to fight all his life. Holliday Grainger on being certain on how to play the
cold and cruel Estella Even walking into the audition, I felt like I knew exactly how I wanted to play it and what I wanted to do. Thank goodness Mike was on the same page. I was just like, “Well, this is what I’m doing, and if you don’t like it then don’t cast me.” What’s interesting about the novel is that it’s all told from Pip’s point of view, you know as an audience what’s happened to Estella. And as the novel progresses, you can piece together why she’s like that. But you never get it from her point of view. I think the best thing about her is finding places to let the hurt and the kind of hatred and anger sneak through.

Work that red carpet like a star Etiquette. Should you find yourself at a TIFF red carpet event, here’s how to make the most of it Julian Brass
notable.ca tiff@metronews.ca
Take Test Pictures Outfits can look entirely different to you in the mirror than they will in photographs. That amazing piece of jewellery could be too distracting and take away from your otherwise bang-on outfit. That bright, busy pocket square could actually be obnoxious looking. Take two pictures and snap one with your backup outfit.

Remain Calm and Composed Be aware of potential wardrobe mishaps beforehand and don’t fidget while on the red carpet or when posing in front of a media wall — especially during TIFF when there are more eyes on you than you think. Own It Walk that red carpet like it is your job and you have done it hundreds of times, even if you are a red carpet virgin. Keep your head up, shoulders back and maintain the same sort of walk that you would if you walked into a room full of potential dream job employers. Don’t Cut In Don’t cut in on other people’s
interviews or impatiently rush those ahead of you in front of the media wall. Let everyone have his or her own moment in the spotlight. Stay Sober If you go easy on the pre-carpet booze consumption, you will look better and sound more intelligent. Having a glass of champagne to calm your nerves is one thing but it’s quite another to be stumbling all over that iconic carpet.

Going underground Ned Ehrbar
tiff@metronews.ca
In Underground, Australian filmmaker Robert Connolly presents a kind of superhero origin story for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, showing his early days as a hacker first stumbling upon government secrets and dealing with becoming a teenage father. But it’s a portrait critics of Assange might not want to see. Metro spoke with Connolly at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival about bringing young Assange to the screen.
The film is obviously sympathetic to its protagonist. Do you worry about Assange detractors dismissing it as propaganda? It would be interesting to see if anyone has that view. My position is it’s about a 17-yearold. It’s someone who is technically a child who becomes a young father and is in a very complicated situation. You kind of have the presumption of, when you come into a story like that, a generous kind of compassionate view of a kid. If people want to shoot that down because they don’t like Wikileaks, that’s all well and good, but I think that I’ve tried to present a
complicated view of him. Have you ever met Julian? No. Two of the people who worked on it with me know him well, but we didn’t seek his blessing. He’s had other things, obviously, that have been quite concerning, so I don’t think we’re a priority. I mean, I look forward to showing it to him at some point. I hope he likes it. But we didn’t want to make like the approved Julian Assange. I don’t think people want to watch that. They want to see a complicated view of the man. for the full interview, visit metronews.ca/tiff

Jewel raising cancer awareness
Police in Kentucky have a warrant for the arrest of former Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart stemming from an alleged assault after a recent show. Harrodsburg Police Lt. Chad Powell told The Associated Press on Thursday that the warrant stems from an incident Saturday after a performance by the Mickey Hart Band at Terrapin Hill Farm in Harrodsburg. Powell says that the investigation is ongoing and that the paperwork could not be released.
Singer-songwriter Jewel has penned numerous lyrics empowering women after heartbreak and loss, and now she hopes to do the same for breast cancer survivors. Jewel’s latest song, Flower, was written to raise awareness about the importance of breast reconstruction options for breast cancer survivors. The singer is heading to New Orleans next month for a benefit concert for the cause. Proceeds from online downloads of Flower and her Oct. 29 concert will go toward breast reconstructionrelated research.

studious recording project and Titus Andronicus the raucous touring machine are no longer two distinct beings; there is only Titus Andronicus, rock and roll band.” Hell yeah! NOV. 6 Aerosmith Music From Another Dimension And in the category of America’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band with all original members still living, the winner is… Aerosmith. This album makes the list primarily because of its audacious title. Do Aerosmith have what it takes to make music from another dimension? We’ll see.

If summer didn’t bring you the music you needed, fall is shaping up to be full of blockbusters. SEPT. 18 G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer “Ain’t nobody fresher than my mother f—ing clique” raps Big Sean on one of the 12 tracks on Kanye West’s latest collaborative project. And he’s right. In addition to Big Sean, ‘Ye corralled longtime pals like Jay-Z and Pusha T, younger artists like Teyana Taylor and CyHi the Prynce as well as hall of famers like R. Kelly and Ghostface Killah. Thankfully, Cruel Summer will arrive while summer is still here. The Killers Battle Born A few years ago when critics started likening The Killers’ second album to Bruce Springsteen, the comparison seemed a little bit like grasping at straws, but it seems like in the four years since their last studio album, the band must have said, ‘Hey, maybe we should listen to that guy that everybody compared us to.’ There’s plenty of blonde hair blowin’ in the summer wind and drivin’ in my daddy’s car here, but fortunately Brandon Flowers and crew put their own glitzy spin on what they sonically borrow from the synth-heavy notions of Born in the U.S.A. -era Boss. P!NK The Truth About Love Yes, P!NK has been combining kiss-off anthems with double-entendres since day one, but instead of recycling the same thing over and over, it seems more like she has been working her whole career towards this. Tempering her usual aggression are fun collaborations (with Eminem, Lily Allen and fun singer Nate Reuss) and songs that actually sound happy. Well, as happy as P!nk can be, singing lines like, “I hate you so much, it must be love.” Carly Rae Jepsen Kiss While skeptics may be eager
Green Day is back with a new album coming out on Sept. 25.

Carly Rae Jepsen’s new album is out on Sept.18.
to dismiss Carly Rae Jepsen as a one-hit-wonder, they should take into consideration what a huge hit Call Me Maybe was. Before she came into your life you missed her so bad, you missed her so, so bad. See? The song is so in your head right now. With the knack for a pop melody she has thus far clearly demonstrated, how could CRJ not have a few more tunes that are that catchy? SEPT. 25 Green Day ¡UNO! After an absurdly prolific winter, Green Day had enough material for three separate albums, so instead of paring down that material they’ll just go on ahead and release three separate albums, (appropriately titled ¡UNO! ¡DOS! and ¡TRÉ!) every other month through January. Singer Billie Joe Armstrong’s face is on the cover of this album, and album two and three will feature the faces of bassist Mike Dirnt
50 Cent’s Street King Immortal is being released Nov. 13.
and drummer Tré Cool (¡TRÉ!, get it?) but that doesn’t mean any of these are solo albums. Unlike the past two Green Day releases, there’s not even a lofty concept running through these albums either: And judging from the four singles that have already been released, this is the type of classic straight-ahead punk pop that put the band on the map almost 20 years ago. No Doubt Push and Shove As far as long lapses between albums go, No Doubt’s sixth studio album is up there with Chinese Democracy and Detox, coming 11 years after its predecessor, 2001’s Rock Steady. Judging from the first two tunes to emerge (both the 6-minute Settle Down and the title track are almost like an open letter to Santigold, saying, ‘Hey baby, we were here first’) this album will be more worth the wait than the Guns N’ Roses album that took 14 years to make.

Mumford & Sons Babel Coming three years after their 2009 debut, this British band’s new single I Will Wait proves that they have waited until they were ready to release their best possible material. The Mumfords are more than just some novelty conjurers of old timey songs, but a group who has the ability to mine lush layers of harmonies to make timeless uplifting tunes. OCT. 9 Ellie Goulding Halcyon Her 2010 song Lights may have been the biggest sleeper hit of … well, 2012. That is indeed a sleeper hit. With her second album, the world is finally ready for this British singer, who we should point out, began dating Skrillex in the time since releasing her debut. Though he doesn’t have any production credits on the album, the bond is just a hint at her willingness to go on sonic adventures. If
that’s the hint though, single Anything Could Happen is the promise. OCT. 22 Taylor Swift Red Last week’s stunning performance of the new song Ronan at the Stand Up To Cancer fundraiser may have been the most emotional song that Taylor Swift has ever written. That song is reportedly not on the upcoming album. If she’s able to discard songs that good, we can’t wait to hear the ones that did make the cut. OCT. 23 Titus Andronicus Local Business Their last release was a concept album about the Civil War, and if you didn’t hear it and this sounds especially dorky to you, it actually rocked. But this one promises to rock even more, with the band writing on their Tumblr: “Local Business is of the earth. Titus Andronicus the
NOV. 13 Big Boi Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors It almost feels like Big Boi and Aerosmith switched the album titles they were supposed to use, doesn’t it? Big Boi is indeed tapping into another dimension with his second album outside of the Outkast moniker. Instead of continuing on the fun funk tip he perfected with Sir Lucious Left Foot the rapper has enlisted the assistance of indie bands like Phantogram and Little Dragon. 50 Cent Street King Immortal Remember when Kanye and 50 released an album on the same day and each of them said that they would retire if their album didn’t perform as well as the other’s? Well, Curtis didn’t do as well as Graduation but thankfully Mr. Curtis Jackson did not retire. In fact, with his fifth album, he has brought in enough guest stars that it almost seems like he’s trying to compete with Cruel Summer for sheer group effort. So far it’s been revealed that Street King Immortal will feature cameos from Alicia Keys, Lil’ Kim, Akon, Swizz Beatz, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Chris Brown and Adam Levine. NOV. 27 Alicia Keys Girl on Fire Hopefully you didn’t get too distracted by Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas tumbling all over the stage during Alicia Keys’ VMAs performance last week, because behind the piano, Keys was really lighting it up. After guesting on everybody else’s album for the past few years, it’s the singer’s time to shine again. Because no one, no one, no one can get in the way of what she’s feeling.

With all due respect to Toronto, which is a grand city, I love Montreal. It’s beautiful, full of friendly French speakers, and I had a lot of delicious meals (many at midnight
If your house was burning, what are the five keepsakes you would try to save? Our son, my wife, the first dog and second dog. Whatever the fifth thing is, I don’t need it.
Drink? What is your favourite Canadian travel memory? I shot a movie called Far From Home all over Southwestern Canada: Vancouver, Hope, Vancouver Island. My best memory is the weeks I spent in the temperate rainforest in Tofino. BEAUTIFUL! Trees the diameter of a small house.

Hot new couple alert
A downward spiral for Amanda Bynes THE WORD

Zachary Quinto
Zachary Quinto is opening up about his relationship with Glee actor Jonathan Groff, telling Out magazine, “I’m incredibly happy.” Quinto says he’s feeling especially good about being in a relationship following
the death of his father. “I had to do a lot of work on the couch to really get to a place where I was able to show up to a relationship with someone who was actually capable of being in one — and that took a lot of trial and error,” he says.
Amanda Bynes is apparently refusing rehab, according to RadarOnline.com. The website reports her friends are worried she’s “not in touch with reality,” as if there is anyone in Hollywood who is in touch with reality. Still, this story gives me a touch of the sads. The 26-year-old was charged last week with two hit-and-run charges and was arrested on April 6 for a DUI. On Thursday, TMZ.com
posted pictures of the actress driving aimlessly around L.A. on a suspended license and smoking what appears to be pot from behind the wheel. “Amanda is refusing to go to rehab or seek any form of psychiatric treatment or diagnosis. It’s clear something is up with her,” a close pal exclusively told RadarOnline. “She has been told by her agent and her dad Rick that she has substance abuse issues and needs to get help. She’s a lost little girl right now. Amanda’s completely gone off the grid. She won’t speak with her manager, her agent, her publicist; she’s not returning anybody’s phone calls,” the source said. An actress who won’t speak with her agent or her publicist? In Hollywood, there’s no worse indication that something bad is going down.
Lindsay Lohan is reportedly playing sick as a means to get out of being in Scary Movie 5 after deciding the script makes fun of her too much, insisting that she has walking pneumonia, according to Page Six. “Lindsay missed every meeting she had for the film, including script reads and wardrobe meetings,” a source says.
“Then she missed her flight to Atlanta on Sunday to shoot the movie. The producers had been getting signs Friday that she was a mess, and would not be fit to work.” But Lohan’s camp insists there’s nothing fishy going on. “Lindsay is fulfilling all of her obligations for the film,” rep Steve Honig says.

A berry good mate for chocolate LIQUID ASSETS
Peter Rockwell @therealwineguy liquidassets@eastlink.ca
Though a diehard foodie at heart, I’ve never been that big on desserts. It’s not that I don’t take a bite of workplace birthday cake now and then or dip a spoon into someone else’s indulgence to experience the decadence — I just prefer to find my extra calories in a glass. Never a true friend of white or red, chocolate’s bitterness has made it a bit of a wine world pariah. Sure, fortified port wines are a classic match, but that’s about it, my friends. Those of you old enough to remember the delicious addictive qualities in Hershey’s Cherry Blossom (a cherry soaked in cherry juice wrapped in mocha) will attest that chocolate and ripe berry fruit taste insanely appealing together. So for once, forget wine, — especially with anything called a Mud Pie. Instead, reach for a berry-based liqueur. France’s Chambord ($38.99 - $45.99) — a 17th century wonder named after the Loire Valley castle of the same name — is made with a mix of cognac and red and black raspberries that’s the ideal mate for anything chocolaty. Refrigerate it and a bottle will last at least six months. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVA I L A B L E IN ALL PROVINCES.

Foraging for delicacies becoming more popular among chefs, foodies Wild foods. Want to add an earthy touch to your next meal? It may lead you to a forest The foods of forests, meadows and streams that sustained Canada’s native population centuries ago are now being featured in some of the finest restaurants in the country. Some might be expected, such as nuts, berries, wild mushrooms, fiddleheads and ramps (wild leeks), but others are usually considered weeds, like Queen Anne’s lace (wild carrot), milkweed pods, burdock roots and cattail hearts. When Jonathan Forbes of Forbes Wild Foods in Toronto first approached chefs with foods foraged in rural Ontario, some showed immediate interest, he says. Others turned him away, saying his products were “too exotic.” As a child, Forbes gathered wild raspberries and mushrooms with his mother. His interest was rekindled as an adult when he told a story about picking chokecherries and his listeners hadn’t heard of them. “I thought, ‘It’s serious when people don’t know what their natural environment is,’ especially things like chokecherries. They’re everywhere.” He started his company in 1998 and has people who forage for him “from Haida Gwaii (the Queen Charlotte Islands of British Columbia) to Labrador” and into the far north. He gets some fresh, some dried and some frozen and sells to restaurants around the world, consumers online and Toronto-area farmers markets. Since he began, interest in foraged foods “has grown a lot,” he says. It started mainly with chefs and foodies when the move to slow food expanded to indigenous food. Now that more foraged foods are available, interest among the public is growing. “When I first brought puffballs (basketball-sized mushrooms) to market 10 years ago, people looked at them and wondered whether you could really eat that thing,” Forbes says. “Now they line up.” High-profile Canadian chef Brad Long regularly includes foraged items on his menu at Cafe Belong at Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto. For example, he uses little bits of Queen Anne’s lace flowers in salads — “very intense” — or boiled with sugar to make a hard candy, wild nuts and ricotta cheese to make ravioli, cooked greens and roots as vegetables or birch syrup as a sweetener. “There’s a lot of food here

You have to know what you’re doing to gather and use foraged foods. Here are tips from wildfoods.ca • Black walnuts. After re-

Sacrificing for the Land Transfer Tax is wrong. On average, Toronto home buyers have to pay about $15,000 in City Hall and provincial Land Transfer Taxes, upfront, every time they move.

them when they’re young. They must be boiled, with at least one change of water, to get rid of the milky liquid they exude. They can be served hot as a vegetable or pickled.

that most people have no concept even exists,” Long says. Foraging is hard work and there’s “also a lot of danger in
it,” Long says. Many types of wild mushrooms are poisonous, as are many other plants or parts of plants. The leaves of
marsh marigolds, for example, cannot be eaten until they have been boiled in several changes of water to remove the toxins.
Unripe elderberries and all other parts of the plant except the flowers contain toxins that metabolize into cyanide. Prob-
ably the safest way for consumers to access foraged food is to buy it. But Long and Forbes say for those wanting to try it, it is absolutely essential to first educate themselves about plants, what is edible, what is not and how to prepare them to make them safe to eat “There’s a special feeling when you cook a meal for friends or family,” Long says. “It becomes exponential when you forage for food to cook the meal. It’s just that much more intense, that much more connected to the land around you.” The Canadian Press

Bettman on lockout: ‘I feel terrible about it’ MARY ALTAFFER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Quoted NHL. Commissioner shows emotion in you have a non-bias opinion, you look at the facts, I defending league stance: “If think our mindset and the direction we’re going is one no deal, no season that seems like it’s a little bit more fair for both sides.” Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby
Darkness is about to descend on the National Hockey League. Again. Reiterating that the season won’t start until there is a new collective bargaining agreement, commissioner Gary Bettman offered an impassioned defence of the league’s stance Thursday as it headed toward its fourth work stoppage in 20 years. “Listen, nobody wants to make a deal and play hockey more than I do, OK?” he said during a news conference. “This is what I do. This is what my life is about in terms of how I spend most of my waking hours. This is really hard.
“And so you only get involved in this situation when you understand what the issues are and you know you’re doing the right thing for the longterm stability of our game and our sport. This is very hard and I feel terrible about it.” No one is holding out hope that an 11th-hour deal will be struck before the CBA expires Saturday at midnight. Both Bettman and Donald Fehr, the executive director of the NHL Players’ Association, spoke in a manner that made another work stoppage seem inevitable after wrapping up important meetings with their constitu-
ents. They have no plans to return to the bargaining table before the deadline passes. Instead, it appears as if hockey will enter yet another work stoppage — with a source indicating that pre-season games will start being cancelled as soon as next week. Training camps scheduled to open Sept. 21 will also soon be a casualty, with the first regular-season games not too far behind. Fehr said the players made large concessions after the entire 2004-05 season was wiped out by a lockout. Since then, overall revenues have grown
dramatically. He asked whether it was fair or equitable that the owners want more concessions and reiterated that they will be the ones choosing to shut the doors. “The players want to find a way to make an agreement. They want to negotiate until we do,” Fehr, flanked by many of the game’s top players, told a packed news conference. Sidney Crosby, Henrik Zetterberg, John Tavares, Zdeno Chara, Henrik Lundqvist, Daniel Alfredsson and Zach Parise were just a handful of the 283 players who turned up in New York for two days of meetings. They emerged presenting a united front and spoke with the same calmness as Fehr, whom they hired in 2010 with the express purpose of getting a good deal in these negotiations.

Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Lind homered while Henderson Alvarez pitched seven effective innings as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 8-3 on Thursday night. Encarnacion reached two plateaus when he launched a three-run shot off Mariners starter Felix Hernandez. It was his 40th homer of the season and it sent him over the 100-RBI mark. The blast to deep left-centre field capped a five-run fourth inning that broke the game open. Lind gave Toronto the early lead with a two-run shot — his 10th homer of the year — in the first inning. Alvarez (9-12) gave up five hits and three earned runs. Relievers Brad Lincoln and Aaron Loup worked an inning apiece as the Blue Jays salvaged the finale of the three-game set in front of 13,756 fans at Rogers Centre. Jeff Mathis had four of Toronto’s 13 hits. Seattle had seven hits. Hernandez (13-8) allowed 10 hits and seven earned runs over four innings.

Frustrated Leaf Lupul thinking of the fans
Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul cautions against angering fans with another NHL work stoppage. STEVE RUSSELL/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
With an NHL lockout looming, Joffrey Lupul had some advice for the owners and players working on a new collective bargaining agreement. Don’t forget the fans. “It’s important that we realize this affects a lot of people beside us,” the Toronto Maple Leafs winger said Thursday. “I’m a hockey fan myself and it sucks. There will be a point when fans start getting fed up. It’s frustrating so I can only imagine what someone else thinks, who doesn’t play in the NHL.” NHL owners and the NHL Players’ Association both had internal meetings Thursday

“I believe we can fix it, but if not, I’ll think about a Plan B.” Leafs centre Mikhail Grabovski on the prospect of playing overseas during a lockout
as labour talks continued, but there wasn’t any forward motion in reaching a new deal. Leaf players Mike Komisarek, James Reimer, Ben Scrivens, David Steckel, Cody Franson, Matthew Lombardi, John-Michael Liles, James van Riemsdyk took part in discussions and joined some 280 other NHL players representing
their union in New York. Steckel, the club’s official team representative, has been relaying messages to his teammates. “They’ve done a great job of keeping us informed,” Lupul said. “Our team’s well represented in New York. If I thought I wasn’t informed I’d be on my way (there).” Some Leafs have considered playing overseas of there’s a lengthy lockout. “The answer is yes at some point in time,” said Lupul about the chance to go to Europe. “There’s going to be a point when guys are looking over there because we want to play.” THE CANADIAN PRESS
No one has ever questioned Blair Walsh’s leg. It’s always been a matter of if he knows where the ball is going after he kicks it. After some clutch field goals to lead the Vikings over the Jaguars, no one is questioning it anymore.

De Rosario to miss Canada’s qualifiers Road to Brazil. Loss bad news for a Canadian side that dropped to third in its group with loss to Panama Dwayne De Rosario celebrates scoring the winning goal against Panama in Toronto on Sept. 7. the canadian press
Canada will be without its leading goal scorer for the remainder of its second round of World Cup qualifying.
Dwayne De Rosario suffered an MCL sprain in his knee during Canada’s 2-0 loss to Panama on Tuesday. He will be sidelined for 10-to12 weeks, according to D.C. United, his Major League Soccer club. “DeRo is our captain, a great player and impossible to replace,” said D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen. The attacking midfielder scored in Canada’s 1-0 vic-
tory over Panama last Friday in Toronto. The goal was his 20th in 71 appearances for Canada and made him the country’s all-time men’s scoring leader. “Absolutely gutted, to be honest,” De Rosario tweeted. “With strong faith and perseverance I will be back wearing proudly the red&white.” Panama leads Canada’s group, Honduras is second, and Canada is third based on

goal differential. “Dwayne is an inspira-
tional player and has played a major role in the national team’s qualification campaign,” Canadian coach Stephen Hart said in a statement. “Injury is an unfortunate part of football and yes he will be missed. Dwayne’s misfortune will open the door for one of the more than capable players to step in and seize the moment.” the canadian press
Newton wants to duplicate RG3’s success against Saints
NEXT WEEK! MASSEY HALL September 21 at 8:00 PM
Still stinging from the thrashing they took from Robert Griffin III, the New Orleans Saints turn their attention toward defending another dual-threat quarterback this Sunday in Carolina’s Cam Newton. Like Griffin, Newton is capable of breaking down a defence with his feet as well as his arm, and presents many of the same challenges for the Saints defence that the Washington rookie did. In fact, the Saints may even see some of the same plays this week. Carolina coach Ron Rivera said the Panthers may borrow a few pages from the Redskins game plan because they run some similar plays. “It’s funny because when you watch (the Redskins) on tape you say, ‘Hey, we do that,”’ Rivera said. The Saints were expecting as much. Interim coach Aaron Kromer knows the NFL can be a copycat league and that when a weakness is exploited other teams will pounce on it. Griffin found success against

Stopping Newton
The Saints had mixed success limiting Newton in two games last season, but won both encounters.
the Saints last weekend, throwing for 320 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 42 yards. But he also thinks that having played against Griffin will help his team better prepare for Newton. Coming off a rough offensive performance in which the Panthers scored just 10 points in a loss to Tampa Bay, Newton is looking for his team to rebound. And he hopes some of the clues to jump-starting the offence will come from watching what RG3 did last week. Kromer said Griffin and Newton have similar athletic skills “although Cam is bigger.” Much bigger, in fact. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Newton has Griffin by three inches and 40 pounds. the associated press

Navigating foreign waters CFL Extra Points

Argos’ Milanovich avoiding gaffes common to first-year skippers; Lions pass-catchers thriving without future Hall-of-Famer; Bombers ineptitude spreading throughout squad
2 4 6 Photos by The Canadian Press/Torstar News Service
1 3 5 Sticking with Joseph the right move for Esks
Milanovich impressive in maiden voyage
You’ve got to hand it to Argos rookie head coach Scott Milanovich for merging into the CFL’s fast lane without any fender benders. Despite a suspect offence, Milanovich’s has his Argos ready to challenge for first in the East while he’s avoided some of the bone-headed blunders other first-year bosses have experienced.
Despite losing two straight games with backup QB Kerry Joseph, the Eskimos have to admit the ancient pivot gives them their best chance to win. With former starter Steven Jyles at the controls, the Esks offence has posted the worst stats of any CFL team this season in each key category.
Surviving without Simon
Calgary can’t look past Bombers
The Stamps are riding high with a three-game win streak under their belts, especially when you consider starting QB Drew Tate has been out of commission since Week 2. That said, they must be petrified of laying an egg against the Bombers on Friday. The Bombers haven’t won in Calgary in a decade, but they have to win again eventually and nobody wants to be the victim.
The Lions receiving corps hasn’t missed a beat without future Hall-of-Famer Geroy Simon, who was scratched last week with a sore hamstring and might not play this week against Toronto. Based on last week’s offensive display versus the Als, QB Travis Lulay and Co., already look like they’re prepared for life without No. 81.
Something afoul in Winnipeg
When your team is bad, really bad like the Bombers, the ineptness leaches into the coaching ranks. Head coach Tim Burke has proven to be a pretty sharp defensive coordinator during an impressive tenure in the CFL, but his late-game decision to punt instead of kicking a field goal last week against Saskatchewan was borderline brain dead. Not sure what disease the Bombers have, but it’s contagious.
Motivated Als should be at their best
Pity the Saskatchewan Roughriders heading into Montreal this week. Coming off an embarrassing 43-10 loss to B.C., the Als have more than enough motivation to play one of their best games of the season.
Argos’ fearless Inman a good match for Lions’ D Quoted
“Hitting a goal post is like running into a brick wall.” QB Ricky Ray on Dontrelle Inman’s harrowing catch attempt last week
to hasn’t won in B.C. since 2002. But getting hit and not being gun shy afterwards is becoming a big part of Inman’s game. Inman, 23, got pounded every time he caught the ball

the blow to his head as his helmet banged off the post just as Ricky Ray’s pass sailed by. “We want to be known as the most physical group of receivers out there. We’re not just guys, who catch balls,” Inman said. “After I hit that post, I landed on the turf on my neck on another catch. “But that’s the kind of game we play. We’re a bunch of physical receivers. Players feed off of that.” Torstar News Service

He was turned upside down after catching a 20-yard pass in the fourth quarter, a clutch grab that kept the drive going and ended with running back Chad Kackert scoring on an 11-yard run.

As hard as the B.C. Lions defence hits, it’s unlikely Argos rookie receiver Dontrelle Inman will get drilled as hard Saturday in Vancouver as he did in his last game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Lions defence is among the most feared in the league. They will be taking no prisoners when Toronto (6-4) goes for its third straight win against the defending Grey Cup champions at B.C.

Horoscopes
Aries
Taurus
April 21 - May 21 You are far too sensible to believe everything you are told, especially by so-called “experts”, and you will no doubt reject some of the things you hear today. That’s good. Trust only your own inner voice.
Gemini
May 22 - June 21 If you tell someone you love what they want to hear, rather than what they need to hear, it could lead to complications later on. Tell them the truth, no matter how painful it may be in the short term.
Cancer
June 22 - July 23 The more someone pressures you to go along with a plan you are not interested in, the louder you must say no. Don’t let them make you feel guilty by suggesting that your refusal will ruin it for others. It won’t.
Leo
July 24 - Aug. 23 You are letting your fears get the better of you and that in turn is making it difficult to make a sensible decision about a money matter. Always think logically and expect the best to happen rather than the worst.
Virgo
Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Try to stay calm and, wherever possible, stay out of the way of people who rub you up the wrong way. If your current environment gets a little too heated, take off by yourself for a day or two.

Crossword: O Canada
March 21 - April 20 With the Sun moving through the work area of your chart, you don’t mind how hard you labour as long as the payoff is good. However, this area of your chart also governs your health, so don’t push yourself too hard.
Libra
Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 According to the planets, your negative attitude is attracting negative situations. Stop looking over your shoulder and start acting as if nothing can go wrong. Compared to most people, you’ve still got it easy.
Scorpio
Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 No matter how much someone tries to persuade you to take sides in a dispute, you must stay out of it. There is simply no way of knowing for sure who is right and who is wrong, so it’s best not to get involved.
Sagittarius
Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 For some reason, your credibility is low at the moment. Your priority today is to improve your image. If colleagues and employers have begun to assume you are all talk and no action, you must prove them wrong.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Whatever you lose today, you will more than make up for next week. Don’t try to hang on to what is slipping from your grasp. There is a meaning to everything that happens — you just have to look for it.
