The 24-year-old eventually left on foot and police say he was arrested by force a short distance away when he refused to comply with an officer’s demands. The homeless man suffered facial injuries and was treated on scene by paramedics. Police say the incident appears to be completely random. The 24-year-old is due in court at a later date, charged with assault, causing a disturbance, resisting arrest and breaching conditions.

The executive director of Shelter Nova Scotia hopes the seemingly random assault of a Halifax homeless man in broad daylight this week is an eye-opener for the general public. “I am shocked and disappointed, but not totally surprised,” said Don Spicer of the incident at Victoria Park on Wednesday. “But I hope that it does shock the general public.” Spicer says assaults against homeless people across North America are nothing new. He points to statistics that show a homeless person is 50 per cent more likely to be a victim of a crime than a member of the general public.

“I think it’s a case of an easy target, vulnerable,” he said. “If you (also) don’t see them as a person first, it’s easier to commit a crime against them,” he added. Police are calling it “disturbing” and “troubling” after a 24-year-old Halifax man allegedly punched the homeless man in the face several times at the popular park on Wednesday, and yelled disparaging comments at him. Police say the 61-year-old victim sat defenceless on a park bench during the assault that happened around 3 p.m. Prior to the assault, police say there was an exchange of words between the two, with the suspect making disparaging comments about the man’s living conditions.

MacEachern grabbed the cat and wrapped a noose around its neck and began swinging it saying “tick, tock, tick, tock.” He then placed a butcher knife near the cat’s throat and threatened to kill it, court heard. The woman rushed MacEachern, forcing him to drop the cat. He then grabbed the woman by her hair and punched her some 15 times in the face, court heard. CAPE BRETON POST

‘Building homes.’ Citadel viewplane workaround ‘blew the budget’ out on planned extension RUTH DAVENPORT

ruth.davenport@metronews.ca

It may have been a first in terms of Halifax development, but only a handful of people were there to see it. The developer behind the overhaul of the Fenwick Tower site spoke to five residents at a public information meeting Thursday evening to outline his request to reduce the height and density of the project.

Quoted

“It’s still a very ambitious project. It’s still a great infill project. The new buildings going onto the site are going to be absolutely gorgeous.” Developer Joe Metlege

“I feel a little bit awkward because usually the developer’s standing up here asking for the opposite,” Joe Metlege of Templeton Developments told the meager audience. Metlege wants to eliminate a planned 35-storey extension to Fenwick Tower, leaving it in its current height and shape, and reclad it in aluminum panelling. Another significant change means most of the two-bedroom units planned for the site

will be moved to the main tower, increasing the number and affordability of units in the two smallest buildings. “People like new graduates, young professionals or people who have limited income will still be able to afford to live on the property,” said Metlege. Only two residents spoke, raising several questions about the esthetics and potential occupants of the new development, and concerns about the impact of construction on the

surrounding neighbourhood. “This is a prolific development. I think it’s a good thing,” said Fenwick Street resident Chris Spence. “At the same time you have to recognize some of the special interests and needs of the local community, particularly during the construction phase.” Metlege said the adjustments required to eliminate two six-inch protrusions of the expanded tower into the Citadel viewplane were a big part of the reason behind the redesign. “That created a chain of events and changes of design which blew the budget out,” he said. “I’m not in the business of building buildings, I’m in the business of building homes for people. So this became the solution.”

Halifax police say two young girls caught a man masturbating next to a tree in Dartmouth while they were walking home from school Monday at the intersection of Waverley Road and Craigburn Drive. The girls ran home and reported the incident to their parents, who contacted police on Wednesday. There have been no arrests. The suspect is described as a man in his 20s with a muscular build and short dark hair.

Halifax foodies, it’s time to get those taste buds and stretchy pants ready for a weekend of good eats. A pop-up food festival started in Cape Breton four years ago, Right Some Good is landing in Halifax for the first time and bringing world-renowned chefs to showcase their talents during two dinners as well as a street-food fair. “It really is a culinary chance of a lifetime. The menus are never to be created again,” said founder Pearleen Mofford.

Tattoo ‘the best show of its type in the world’ World-class. Show brings hundreds of performers to Halifax, generates $40 million for the economy haley ryan

haley.ryan@metronews.ca

As thousands of people stream out of the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo next week, minds racing with pipes, drums and acrobatic stunts, they might notice a whitehaired man in glasses leaning against the wall with a smile on his face. Jim Forde, assistant producer of the Tattoo, has been involved since he played with the Stadacona Band during the first show in 1979, and said a favourite part of the experience is overhearing what people say as they leave the event. “I love the enthusiasm people have, and the good feeling that they have when they leave,” Forde said after the Tattoo’s media launch Thursday. “‘I wonder how they did that?’; ‘We need more of this kind of thing’ — comments like that, which are very heartwarming.” For its 35th year, the Tattoo Quoted

is bringing bands from across Canada, German Olympic gymnasts, Irish dancers, bicycle team, choirs and military groups like the RCMP National Ceremonial Troop who perform a “musical ride” without the horses to the Metro Centre from July 1 to 8. The Top Secret Drum Corps wowed during the event with rapid-fire drumbeats, and complicated choreography where lines of musicians threw drumsticks to one another and lit them on fire. Assistant director Craig Roberts said the Tattoo’s “very, very” fast pace and largescale scenes where acts blend together sets it apart from

other events like the Edinburgh Military Tattoo which presents individual acts. The Tattoo itself always brings “an incredibly vibrant atmosphere” and thousands of people into Halifax, generating about $40 million for the economy, Roberts said. Forde said he’s watched the Tattoo grow into a “worldclass” event that resembles a Broadway production, but still relies heavily on the “pomp and circumstance,” and bright colours of the military side. The Tattoo means a lot to Nova Scotians because it’s a time to celebrate our Celtic, German, Dutch or Italian heritage, since people have come

‘A Whirlwind’ for music students For Toby Ashmore, a tall music student from England, a Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo highlight has been practising with other performers to get a “slick” routine down. On Thursday, Ashmore performed a piece for the Tattoo’s media launch with the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama Brass Band and fellow student Megan Alexander, from New Jersey. “It’s all very slick,” said Ashmore. “When everyone plays together, the standard is so high, it works really well together and knits tightly.” Alexander said the group were “incredibly excited” to be in the show because it’s different from anything they’ve ever done before. “It’s been a whirlwind,” Alexander said. “It’s really the only place you can see this much of a variety of acts.” While the band was playing onstage, another band marched out from the tunnel below them, which Ashmore said was such an amazing feeling his arm hairs stood on end. He is also excited to walk in the Canada Day Tattoo parade because he has heard of the holiday’s “carnival atmosphere,” Ashmore said. The band’s conductor and euphonium performer, David Childs, said the band felt privileged to be in the show but brass-band culture in Britain is very different because they’re usually sitting still. “All of this moving around is something completely foreign for us, but we’re embracing it.”

New bike lane planned Hollis Street. Lane could be in place by August; officials working on ‘nitty-gritty details’ RUTH DAVENPORT

ruth.davenport@metronews.ca

HRM officials have unveiled the plans for a new bike lane running from Cogswell to South streets along Hollis Street, and say it could be in place by the end of the summer. The city hosted two open

houses Thursday to provide specific information to business owners and residents about where parking spaces and loading zones will be relocated in order to make way for the bike lane on the west side of the street. “Some people ... have come out just for the reasons we wanted — can you move parking and loading here?” said HRM Active Transportation coordinator Hanita Koblents. “That’s the nitty-gritty details that we were hoping to work out.” Feedback from a steady stream of residents and busi-

ness owners who came to the afternoon open house at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia was generally positive, with minor recommendations for improvements. One popular idea was placing the bike lane between the curb and parking spaces, so cars provided a buffer between cyclists and traffic. “Do it as a pilot,” suggested Halifax resident and cyclist Bill Campbell, noting it could be done on the quiet block between Morris and South. “It’s a little paint. It doesn’t work out, you paint over the paint and shift it back.”

Get involved

Visit the city’s feedback portal to view the bike lane plans and provide your feedback at: shapeyourcityhalifax.ca

Koblents said staff will review all feedback gathered at the open house and via the online portal at shapeyourcityhalifax.ca before proceeding with installation. She said it’s hoped the bike lane will be ready for use in August.

Transition. No frontline job cuts as result of health authority merger Health and Wellness Minister Leo Glavine says frontline jobs will not be cut as a result of amalgamating nine of Nova Scotia’s 10 district health authorities into a single entity. While the province is looking for the merger to cut costs — both through shared services and staffing reductions — Glavine says the only pink slips to go out will be to hospital management, such as CEOs and vice -presidents. Glavine says other savings will be achieved through attrition over the next five to 10 years as the system’s aging workforce reaches retirement. While the headquarters for the new consolidated health authority remain uncertain, Glavine says his preference would be to put the operational centre in Truro.

Glavine was unable to provide figures on how much the merger would cost, but says the transition team will provide more details in legislation to be introduced in September. The merger is forecast to be completed by 2015. The Canadian Press

Enterprise Cape Breton. Ethics commissioner finds former CEO violated Conflict of Interest Act The federal ethics commissioner has found the former CEO of Enterprise Cape Breton Corp. violated the Conflict of Interest Act by working as a paid consultant while heading the agency. Mary Dawson announced the finding today, about a month after John Lynn was fired from the corporation over patronage appointments. In a statement, Dawson says she began looking into the matter after receiving information that Lynn did paid work for a private company in 2010 and 2012 while he

was the corporation’s CEO. A section of the act prohibits public office holders from working as paid consultants. Dawson says the investigation, which was launched more than a year ago, took time because there were delays with Lynn’s availability. The federal integrity commissioner concluded last month that Lynn hired four people with ties to the federal Conservatives and Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative party without demonstrating the appointments were merit-based.

Medical marijuana growers put illegal grow-ops to shame First Harvest. Metro reporter gets a peek at modern Ontario facility

AUGMENTED REALITY → Take a deeper look inside MedReleaf’s Markham, Ont., facility by scanning the photo with your Metro News app and viewing a photo gallery of reporter Jessica Smith Cross’s tour.

JESSICA SMITH CROSS Metro in Toronto

The 55,000-square-foot MedReleaf warehouse in Markham, Ont., is unassuming from the outside with the exception of a faint but recognizable smell. Metro agreed to keep the exact location of the medical marijuana production facility a secret to protect the people who work there and the thousands of plants inside. The company is one of 20 marijuana producers licensed by Health Canada so far. The Tour Inside MedReleaf’s pot plant, workers and guests are constantly monitored on video surveillance, mandated by Health Canada. The doors between growing rooms are secured with electronic locks. Before seeing any marijuana, our small group — which includes MedReleaf COO Tom Flow, head of quality assurance Angelo Fefekos and communications staff — enters a decontamination room, puts on white clean-room suits, hair nets, gloves and booties, and passes through an airlock. That level of contamination control is not mandatory, but MedReleaf trademarked its marijuana as “medical grade standard” pot, so the procedures are in line with those at pharmaceutical facilities that make traditional drugs. Everything from the floor-

Health Canada doesn’t mandate midstage tests like these. “It’s the only way I know how to make a medicine,” explained Fefekos. Employees pick off the leaves and trim the buds before they’re hung across metal wire to dry in the drying room, where, on the first day of harvest, a Bob Marley song plays. When the buds are dry, they’ll be either quarantined or released by Health Canada. All the pot that’s good to go will be vacuum-sealed and mailed in unmarked packages. Any pot that’s stored is kept in a vault with two complex locks behind a giant blue cage, which is also locked and secured with an alarm. The first day of the first harvest was a big deal for some of the employees. Facilities manager Ori Sher said he never expected to find himself doing this. “I was in the IT business for years,” he said. “This is pretty far from IT.”

ing to the HVAC is engineered to keep things hygienic, and the plant meets the ISO class 8 standard, like an operating room, according to Fefekos, whose previous job was manager of Diagnostic Medical Genetics at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. Fefekos was recruited by MedReleaf CEO Neil Closner, who was vice-president of Business Development at the hospital. The ‘mother room’ After the airlock, we enter the “mother room,” where there are rows of pot plants under 1,000-watt bluish lights. Here are the 23 strains of pot the company is currently pro-

ducing. Some are varieties Canadian consumers are familiar with, and have words like kush and skunk in their names. Others come from the Tikun Olam company of Israel, which has been growing medical marijuana for about a decade. A signature strain — Avidekel — is high in cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory, but very low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chemical that gets users high. Other strains have high THC and CBD, others are in between. Breeders work from seeds and cross-breed strains. Clippings from the mother plants, called clones, are kept in a high-humidity “clone room”

where they grow roots over seven to 14 days. Next they’re transferred to one of the “flower rooms,” where 2,000 to 6,000 plants grow under red spectrum light, are fed a nutrient solution pumped in from an irrigation system, and trimmed. The Markham pot plant itself is still growing, but according to MedReleaf, it will soon have 10 flower rooms and grow about 150,000 pot plants without pesticide. When ready for harvest, the plants go to the trimming room. Everything that goes in and out is weighed so nothing goes missing. The air quality in the trim-

A growing industry? Even though it has yet to ship any pot, executives at MedReleaf see a big future for medical cannabis. “We can service well over 10,000 patients from this building and we’re already looking at expanding to other facilities,” said CEO Neil Closner. “We believe it could be quite a big market for those producers who can produce at a level that not only patients want, but physicians feel comfortable prescribing.” According to the government, 920 companies have applied to become producers so far. Of those, 20 have been approved, 407 were returned as incomplete, 163 were refused, 34 were withdrawn by the applicant and 296 are currently being reviewed. Some companies have elected to raise funds from the market. Several stocks posted big gains just by announcing plans to get in on the medical marijuana market that the Canadian Securities Administrators issued a warning. “There’s clearly a bit of a mania going on, a bubble going on with people rushing to invest in gold-mining companies that all of a sudden add ‘marijuana’ to their business name and all of a sudden the stock goes up by tenfold in one day,” said Closner. MedReleaf elected to go with private investors who pitched in significant capital to build the company — including its Markham pot plant — because they believe in the product and the investment. MedReleaf expects to ship its first harvest in a few weeks.

U.K. taxpayers feel pinch of palace refurb $65-million monarchy. More than a third spent on maintenance of aging palaces Buckingham Palace accounts released Thursday show the monarchy cost British taxpayers 35.7 million pounds (about $65 million) last year

— 56 pence (about $1) for everyone in the country. That is 7.2 per cent, or 2.4 million pounds, more than the year before — the increase mainly explained by the royal family’s repair bills. A big part of the fixer-upper budget went to creating a suitable home for the young family of Prince William, his wife Kate and their toddler Prince George.

Some 3.4 million pounds of taxpayer funds were used to refurbish part of London’s Kensington Palace for the couple. The extensive work included removing asbestos, installing new heating and redecorating. The couple, who have considerable personal financial resources in part because of the estate left by Princess Diana, paid for the carpets,

Phone hacking acquittal. ‘I am innocent … I feel vindicated,’ Brooks says Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks said Thursday she is innocent of phone hacking and other crimes and feels vindicated by a jury’s unanimous decision to acquit her. The ex-tabloid editor made her first public statement since being cleared after an eight-month trial on charges of conspiring to hack phones, bribe officials and obstruct police. Standing outside her London home beside her husband Charles — who was also acquitted — Brooks said the last few years “have been tough.” “It has been a time of reflection for me,” she said. “I have learned some valuable lessons and hopefully I am the wiser for it.… I am innocent of the crimes that I was charged with and I feel vindicated by the unanimous verdicts.” Brooks, 46, said she would offer support to former colAbortion clinics

U.S. Supreme Court dismantles protest buffer zone

Man wounds 11 in La Paz airport knife attack

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a 10-metre protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts. The justices were unanimous in ruling that extending a buffer zone that far from clinic entrances violates the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment rights of protesters. The clinics said they are most concerned about safety because of past incidents of violence. In 1994, a gunman killed two receptionists and wounded five others at clinics in Brookline, Mass.

An emotionally disturbed farmer wielding a kitchen knife went on a rampage in the terminal of the La Paz international airport on Thursday, stabbing 11 people, authorities said. Hospital officials said most of the wounds did not appear to be lifethreatening, although eight of the victims were hospitalized. Among the wounded was the police officer who detained the man. Deputy Interior Minister Jorge Perez said the attacker told police he “heard voices” and went on the attack to defend himself. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trudeau takes shot at changes to temp worker program Fort McMurrayAthabasca byelection. Comment invites comparisons to Trudeau Sr.’s national energy program Justin Trudeau is describing the Conservative government’s embattled temporary foreign worker program as “one of the most anti-Alberta federal policies we’ve seen in decades.” The Liberal leader made the remarks this week in Fort McMurray while campaigning in advance of Monday’s byelection in the heart of oilsands country with candidate Kyle Harrietha. The comment invites comparisons to Pierre Trudeau’s national energy program, a policy still reviled by Albertans 34 years after it sought to distribute the province’s oil wealth to poorer parts of the country. In the past, Trudeau has taken pains to distance himself from his father’s energy policies. In Fort McMurray on Wednesday, he accused the Tories of mishandling the temporary foreign workers file for Canada’s Susan Nattrass waves to family in the stands after completing the first round of qualification in women’s trap shooting at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Game-changing trap shooter to carry flag Susan Nattrass will lead Canada into the 2014 Commonwealth Games as this country’s flagbearer for the opening ceremony next month in Glasgow, Scotland. “I’m ecstatic. It is such a tremendous honour to have been selected as Canada’s flag-bearer,” Nattrass said in a release. “I love the Commonwealth Games and will do my best to be worthy of this exceptional group of athletes that we have on our team.” The 63-year-old, who makes her home in Edmonton, has won medals in women’s trap

petitive, world-class athlete,” said Canada chef de mission Chantal Petitclerc. “She will be an inspiration to all of us in Glasgow.” Nattrass was the first woman to ever compete in an Olympic trap shooting competition back in 1976, finishing 25th against her male counterparts.

In Alberta, which has the highest number of temporary foreign workers in the country, median wages have gone up by 31 per cent since 2006 and inflation by 14 per cent, Fortier said in an email. “However, in the food services sector, a leading user of the temporary foreign worker program, wages have only increased by eight per cent since 2006,” she said. The new changes include a limit on the number of foreign workers that large- and medium-sized companies are permitted to hire, stiffer penalties for companies found to be violating the new rules and on-site audits and inspections to guard against abuse. the canadian press

Marc Nadon. Harper Tories not living up to charter obligations: Bar association The Harper government is falling short in its duty as a guardian of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. That’s the message that will be delivered in a major speech Friday to the Canadian Bar Association. Simon Potter, a past president of the association, is to deliver that assessment at a day-long conference on the state of constitutional law in Canada. The annual symposium by Canada’s top legalists is taking place amid unprecedented acrimony between the

Harper government and the Supreme Court of Canada. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office recently accused Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin of inappropriately seeking to contact him over the appointment of Marc Nadon, which the high court rejected in a separate ruling. The government can expect more criticism Friday when the association recommends reforms to the Supreme Court selection process in the wake of the Nadon affair. THE CANADIAN PRESS

A united front. Iraq’s VP takes first step toward forming new government Iraq’s vice-president called on parliament Thursday to convene next week, taking the first step toward forming a new government to present a united front against a rapidly advancing Sunni insurgency. In the latest attack, a bombing killed 12 people in a Baghdad Shiite neighbourhood and police found eight more bullet-riddled bodies south of the capital. Visiting Iraq, Britain’s top diplomat urged its leaders to put aside their differences for the good of the nation. And in Paris, Secretary of State John Kerry met with the United States’ top Sunni state allies in the Mideast to consider how to confront the growing turmoil. Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki’s Shiite-led political bloc won the most seats in April 30 elections — with 92 seats out of the 328 — but he needs support from other parties for a majority that would give him the right to govern. An increasing number of critics, both in Iraq and abroad, now want him to step down, saying his failure to promote

Al-Maliki, however, has insisted the constitutional process must be allowed to proceed. In a statement, VicePresident Khudeir al-Khuzaie ordered the new parliament to hold its first session on Tuesday. Constitutionally, the next step would be to elect a speaker and two deputies, then within 30 days to choose a new president who then has 15 days to ask the largest bloc to choose a prime minister and form the new government.

The government said in a statement Thursday that seven of the deaths in the current initiation season happened in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province. The ministry is urging traditional leaders to work

Fleeing Ukrainians seek safety in Russia Leaving by the thousands. Exodus comes as Ukraine calls on Russia to support peace plan ‘with deeds, not words’ Thousands of Ukrainians in cars stuffed with belongings lined up Thursday at the eastern border to cross into Russia, with some saying they felt betrayed by their government and vowing never to return. A commander at the rebelcontrolled border post southeast of the city of Luhansk said 5,000 people had left by evening, joining a stream he said has continued unabated through a shaky ceasefire set to expire on Friday. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians have sought safety in Russia since the fighting began two months ago between government troops and Moscowbacked separatist fighters. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Thursday called on Russia to support his peace plan “with deeds, not words” as the weeklong ceasefire neared its end in Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said they, too, were looking for more action from Moscow ahead of a summit on Friday of European Union leaders, who will be considering a new round of punitive sanctions on Russia. The summit also will see Ukraine sign a sweeping trade agreement with the EU that will bind it more closely to the

West. It was the former Ukrainian president’s sudden decision late last year to back out of the EU deal under pressure from Russia that led to his ouster and triggered the current crisis. Poroshenko announced Thursday that representatives of the mutinous regions have agreed to talks with the Russian ambassador, a former Ukrainian president representing Poroshenko, and a European envoy. The first round of talks on Monday brought rebel leaders to the negotiating table for the first time. The Associated Press

Fighting during ceasefire

The United Nations estimates that from April 15 to June 20, 423 people, including servicemen and civilians, were killed in eastern Ukraine. • Even though some rebel groups agreed to observe the ceasefire, Poroshenko said 18 government troops have been killed this week. Separatist

leaders have also reported deaths among rebel fighters. • Speaking at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, France, on Thursday, Poroshenko urged Moscow to stop the flow of fighters from Russia and take other steps to end the conflict.

North Korea fires short-range projectiles off its east coast North Korea fired three shortrange projectiles Thursday into the waters off its east coast in a possible move to stoke tensions with Seoul, a South Korean defence official said. Pyongyang’s military later criticized alleged South Korean shelling in disputed waters. The South Korean official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of department rules, said the projectiles flew about 190 kilometres

before harmlessly landing in the water. The projectiles were fired from North Korea’s eastern port city of Wonsan, and the South Korean military was investigating the type of projectiles and the North’s intentions, the official said. Later Thursday, North Korea’s army, while not mentioning its own projectiles, released a statement in state media saying South Korea had

fired shells without notice into the North’s waters from a front-line island near a Yellow Sea boundary that Pyongyang bitterly disputes. The North Korean army in the front-line area is “full of the strong will of retaliation to punish the provocateurs to the last one by giving vent to their pent-up grudge,” the statement said. “What they are waiting for is only the order to be given.’’ Short-range test firings by

North Korea aren’t unusual, but a barrage of missile and artillery tests earlier this year boosted animosity between the rivals. A North Korean artillery attack in 2010 killed four South Koreans on a front-line Yellow Sea island. North Korea has in recent months threatened South Korea’s leader, calling her a prostitute, and the South has vowed to hit North Korea hard if provoked. The Associated Press

At his home just south of New York’s Adirondack Mountains, Tyoe carves soaring eagles, grizzled mountain men and wolves from white pine. But he mostly carves bears, his specialty. Tyoe earns a living as a chainsaw artist, turning big logs into improbably fluid sculptures with nothing more than a tool that some use to cut firewood. On a recent day, Tyoe worked on his rural property transforming a phone boothsized piece of white pine into a woodland scene of a mama bear reaching for a honeycomb in a tree trunk with her cub at her feet. Over the whine of a two-stroke engine, Tyoe carefully zigzagged his saw tip to create the texture of the mama bear’s fur. “I try to be realistic, a lot of details, correct proportion, anatomy, bone structure, posture,” he said during a break. Larger, commissioned “masterpiece” sculptures take weeks to complete and cost around $3,500. the associated press

The jury deliberated for about 13 hours before finding Chun Qi Jiang guilty in the death of 41-year-old

er who fatally stabbed and dismembered Liu in a fit of rage over allegedly stolen jewelry, while her son simply helped cover up the gruesome crime. Jiang was charged with first-degree murder, and in her final instructions to the jury this week, Ontario Superior Court Justice Gisele Miller said in order to find him guilty of that charge, jurors would have to find he deliberately set out to kill Liu or cause her potentially fatal harm. The verdict of seconddegree murder indicates the jury believed Jiang meant to kill Liu, but didn’t plan to do so. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Guang Hua Liu, whose body parts were found in several Toronto-area locations in August 2012. Jiang, who wore a plaid, button-down shirt and tan slacks, looked straight ahead as the jury read out the verdict, which carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for between 10 and 25 years. No family members were present at the conclusion of the four-week trial, in which prosecutors said Jiang killed Liu, with whom he had an on-again-off-again relationship, after she rejected him for another man. But the defence said it was Jiang’s 66-year-old moth-

‘Strong suspects’ but no charges: RCMP

Opening of world’s tallest waterslide may face delays A November 2013 photo shows Schlitterbahn’s new Verruckt speed watercoaster in Kansas City, Kan. A spokeswoman for the water park in says crews are still trying to fix a mechanical problem, and unless it can be rectified by Sunday, the ride’s official opening may be delayed for a third time. Jill Toyoshiba/The Kansas City Star/the associated press

The Mountie who’s in charge of investigating cases of missing and murdered women along B.C.’s so-called Highway of Tears says his team has a number of strong suspects, but there’s not enough evidence to lay charges. Staff-Sgt. Wayne Clary says 12 to 15 officers are currently assigned to investigate the deaths or disappearances of 18 women murdered along several highways in the province’s north. Some of the victims’ family members have raised concerns about whether the investigation was still making progress or was even active, but Clary says the officers spend most of their time working on the project dubbed E-PANA. Clary says investigators are still in regular contact with families. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Guilty plea for child abduction On the lam. Father spent four years in hiding in Mexico with his children A Manitoba man admitted Thursday to kidnapping his two children and hiding them in Mexico for four years. Kevin Maryk, 42, pleaded guilty to two counts of abduction. His sentencing hearing is set for Monday. The Crown said it will seek a five-year sentence, while defence lawyer Todd Bourcier said he will ask for two years minus cred-

it for time served in Mexico. Maryk stood by his lawyer in court and quietly answered “yes” as the judge asked him whether he understood what he was admitting to. Outside court, Bourcier said Maryk was anxious to have everything resolved. Maryk took his children from his former wife during a court-ordered visit in Winnipeg on Aug. 16, 2008, and fled to Mexico. The kids, Dominic and Abby Maryk, were seven and six at the time. Police said Maryk kept the children indoors during the day and prevented them from going to school, from playing with other children

or from seeing a doctor. They had very little contact with the outside world. Back in Winnipeg, police and the children’s mother kept the issue in the public eye. In 2009, Emily Cablek held a news conference with the Winnipeg Police Service to appeal for the return of her son and daughter. “It’s two pieces of my soul and my heart missing,” she said at the time. Investigators got a break in the case in 2012, when a neighbour of Maryk in Guadalajara called authorities after recognizing the children in a Crime Stoppers video that aired on Mexican television.

Receding Great Lakes may damage economy: Report Low water levels in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River could result in severe economic fallout for the region, totalling more than $20 billion by 2050, according to a new report. The report, released Thursday by the Mowat Centre and Council of the Great Lakes Region, said water levels in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence basin “fell dramat-

ically” in 1997-98. Since then, the basin has experienced the longest extended period of lower water levels since the U.S. and Canada began tracking levels in 1918. Mark Fisher, who heads the council, said there’s a “very real future” where the region could be plagued by low-water trends. The economic footprint of

the Great Lakes Region is $5.25 trillion, or around 28 per cent of combined Canadian and U.S. economic activity. The report said lower water levels in the Great Lakes would impact industries including hydroelectricity and commercial shipping, as well as recreational boating and fishing and property values near the shores.

Violence more likely in hate crimes against sexual minorities: StatsCan vious year, Statistics Canada said in its latest report on hate crimes.

Overall, almost 70 per cent of hate crimes reported by police were non-violent, with

Most racial or religious hate crimes in Canada involve only mischief, but violence occurs in two-thirds of the incidents in which sexual orientation is the key factor, new data released Thursday suggests. Police reported 1,414 hatemotivated criminal incidents in 2012, up 82 from the pre-

mischief — incidents such as vandalism, graffiti and other destruction of property — as the most common offence. However, two-thirds of hate crimes involving sexual orientation involved violence, as did a third of those involving racial or ethnic hatred, Statistics Canada reported. Violence occurred in

only 13 per cent of religiously motivated hate incidents. The agency said just over half of all hate crimes in 2012 involved racial or ethnic motives, while 30 per cent involved hatred toward a particular religion, including crimes targeting Jews, Muslims and Catholics. the canadian press

Supreme Court. Decision makes it easier for aboriginal groups to establish title over lands used for hunting, fishing For the first time, the Supreme Court of Canada has recognized a First Nation’s title to a specific tract of land — a historic decision with major implications for contentious energy projects such as the Northern Gateway pipeline. Thursday’s 8-0 decision, which overturned an appeal court ruling, will essentially make it easier

Title, however, is not absolute, the top court declared; economic development can still go ahead on land where title is established as long as one of two conditions is met. Economic development on land where title is established would require the consent of the First Nation. Failing that, the government would have to make the case that development is pressing and substantial and meet its fiduciary duty to the aboriginal group. In other words, the decision places a greater burden on governments to justify economic development on aboriginal land. The court also makes it clear that provincial law still applies to land

The landmark ruling is the Supreme Court’s first on aboriginal title and will apply wherever there are unresolved land claims. “The claimant group bears the onus of establishing aboriginal title,” Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin wrote in the decision. “The task is to identify how pre-sovereignty rights and interests can properly find expression in modern common law terms.” International acts

50-70

Estimated number of Asiatic cheetahs that remain in Iran, mostly in the east of the country.

The Asiatic cheetah, an equally fast cousin of the African cat, once ranged from the Red Sea to India, but its numbers have shrunkin the past century to the point that the species is now hanging on by a thin thread. Once known as “hunting leopards,” Asiatic cheetahs were traditionally trained for emperors and kings in Iran and India to hunt gazelles. They disappeared across the Middle East about 100 years ago, although there were sightings in Saudi Arabia until the 1950s. Iran’s efforts have been given a symbolic boost at the World Cup in Brazil, where Iran’s team wore images of the cheetah on their uniforms. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The conservation work

With help from the UN, the Iranian government has stepped up efforts to rescue the species. • Cameras have been set up around cheetah habitats to watch for threats. • Authorities built shelters in arid areas so cats can have access to water. • They’ve reached out to nearby communities, training them how to deal with cheetahs and promising compensation for killed livestock.

A wide-ranging action orgy Synopsis

Reel Guys

The action begins when unemployed robotic engineer Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) and daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz) uncover deactivated Autobot Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) hidden under a pile of junk. Their discovery puts them under the microscope of CIA agent Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer) and tech tycoon Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci). The two are hatching a plan, fuelled by equal parts paranoia and genius, to build man-made second generation Transformers to seek out and destroy the Autobots. • Richard: ••••• • Mark: •••••

Transformers: Age of Extinction. This flick may be excessive on just about every level, but you’ll definitely love it — if you’re a 12-year-old boy Richard: Mark, everybody loves spectacle. The Romans had the Coliseum and we have the Transformers movies. Like the gladiatorial shows of yore, in Michael Bay’s movies it doesn’t matter who lives or dies — the films don’t care about their human characters and neither do we — all that matters is the spectacle of the whole thing, and at an almost frenetic three hours, Age of

Extinction certainly delivers on that score. For many, getting value per minute for their movie dollar will be enough, but do you, like the old Roman emperors, give this a thumbs up or down? Mark: Richard, I was glued to my seat throughout! You see, some idiot had spilled epoxy on the seat before I sat down and it took the full two-andthree-quarter hours to wriggle out of my jeans. I have never been able to sit through a Transformers movie, but epoxy aside, at least this one had a coherent story, some decent acting thanks to Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci and Kelsey Grammer, and some exciting chase sequences. I just can’t wrap my head around watching a bunch of

Swiss Army knives on steroids bashing each other. But then again, I’m not a 12-year-old boy.

level. I don’t expect or want My Dinner with Optimus Prime, but in this case I think less would have been more.

RC: No one can accuse Bay of skimping on ... well, anything. Age of Extinction is a wideranging action orgy that plays off of Bush-era Homeland Security paranoia and also explains why dinosaurs became extinct. It comments on the ethics of unarmed warfare and blows up most of Hong Kong. Bay doesn’t do anything by half measures but I found myself wishing the movie was about half as long as it is with half the bombast. It’s stylish: “Why run when you can run in slow motion?” Bay seems to be asking, not unlike a car commercial. But it’s excessive on almost every

MB: My feelings here are complicated. I used to take it for granted that this kind of direction was evidence of a hack sensibility, which assumes that quantity makes viewers forget quality — a real cynic’s position. But watching this instalment, I’m no longer so sure. I think Bay really believes that these grand excesses are heroic, even Shakespearean. Its running time is equal to Hamlet. The movie is cheesy and schlocky, for sure, but the one possible grace note is Bay’s commitment to the drive of the film. Too long, for sure, but at least this movie moves.

RC: Shakespeare never wrote a play about a giant alien robot playing bucking bronco with a humungous dinobot. That’s all Bay. MB: Or had a billion-dollar grossing movie. That’s all Bay St.

Sowing sinister seeds. Director Scott Derrickson blends police procedural and possession drama in his latest offering chris alexander

scene@metronews.ca

If the trailers and advance word of mouth are any reliable barometer, the upcoming shocker Deliver Us From Evil (based on the fact-based book by Ralph Sarchie) just might be the American horror movie of the year. It certainly boasts high pedigree in its director. Scott Derrickson has been a top draw in Hollywood for almost 20 years, penning and directing such hits as The Exorcism of Emily Rose, the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still and 2012’s blockbuster horror film, Sinister. The success of that latter chiller influenced the production of Deliver Us

Deliver Us From Evil opens next Wednesday. contributed

From Evil but Derrickson has had a hand in the long-gestating project for decades. “(Producer) Jerry Bruckheimer brought the book to me in 1994,” notes the director. “His take was basically, ‘Let’s make Serpico meets The Exorcist’, which I thought was the coolest thing I’ve ever heard. So I got the job, wrote

the first couple of drafts of the script, and then he decided to have another writer on board. But while I was in N.Y.C. I got to spend a week with Ralph, got to know him very well and Ralph was the guy who gave me an out-of-print copy of the book The Exorcism of Annaleise Michel, which I optioned for 100 bucks and turned into

The Exorcism of Emily Rose. True Story!” The Sarchie script — then called Beware the Night — saw three other writers tinker with it in an attempt to ‘improve’ it, before Bruckheimer put it on the shelf. Then, after the runaway success of Sinister, things changed. “When Sinister came out,”

explains Derrickson, “Screen Gems asked me what I wanted to do next and I told them about Beware the Night. They read my first draft and said, ‘We want to make this movie with you.’ So here we are.” Retitled Deliver Us From Evil, Derrickson’s thriller is indeed a blend of police procedural and possession drama. It chronicles the on-screen version of Sarchie (played by Eric Bana), an New York City cop who teams up with a priest to examine the possibility of a spate of urban violence being linked to the supernatural. Filled with explicit violence but tempered by deeply etched character arcs, it’s a film that defies easy categorization. Derrickson claims this was by design. “It’s one of the highest testing movies ever and it’s scary. Audiences loved it. But when they were asked if it was a horror film or a supernatural thriller, they didn’t know how to answer. I do think it is as much a horror film as it is a cop film and that was the goal, no half and half, rather 100 per cent both genres sharing space.”

Bates on blowing up the big screen period, I think it’s been difficult for lesbians to become as accepted as gay men.

Tammy. Kathy Bates gets a little wild in her latest role — and reflects on working with rookie film directors

I don’t know if there’s a measure for that. Yes, I don’t think there’s a measure of that, you’re exactly right. I wanted to make it clear in (the film) that we worked for everything we had ...

Ned Ehrbar

Metro World News in Hollywood

Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates doesn’t suffer fools gladly, especially on a film set. Luckily she didn’t have to worry about that too much on the set of Tammy, working with a firsttime director — Ben Falcone — who didn’t behave like a novice. But she was ready to speak up if need be. I was curious how much you enjoy blowing stuff up in real life. Well, I wish I could. There’s a few producers I’d like to blow up, that’s for sure (laughs). No, it was really fun to get that out of your system. It was fun to blow up the car — and have the fun without it being real, obviously. And I was very

proud of myself that I was able to hit the jet ski with the tiki torch consistently. That was thanks to my “wife,” Sandra Oh, who encouraged me and gave me the idea that this was something I did when I was in college, that I was actually able to toss a javelin and do track back then.

You and Sandra Oh make a nice couple, actually. I was happy that the gay relationship was really the most healthy relationship in the movie. When I went into it, I thought, how do you play gay? Unless you’re going to make a caricature out of it. I mean, gay or straight, it’s a sexual preference or a gender, almost,

the way you’re born, I feel, and so how are you going to play something like that? With Sandra, she really brought a lot to that relationship. It was such a comfortable relationship to have with her. I just respect her so much as an actress, and she’s a beautiful, beautiful person inside and out, so it was easy to pretend that we were

in love and had been for many, many years. I think sometimes it’s more difficult for lesbians now to be accepted. The men sort of were the vanguard .... Although I think still we’ve got a way to go on that because there are still unfortunately hate crimes that are going on, but I think because of women’s place in society in general,

Being an actress as well as a director yourself, how do you find actor-directors compare other types of directors? I’ve always felt — and this comes from years of experience but also working at Sundance at the film labs — that there are many, many talented young writer-directors, and they always ask how to talk to actors because their focus has been on technical aspects of the camera. I think that a lot of time young, inexperienced directors will take the scene from the top and they’ll go over and over and over again until they get the performance that they want, and they think it’s just going to happen by chance, that it’s like taking a running you-know-what at a doughnut. It’s just catch as catch can and it’s wearing on the actors...

Scripted summer series get sinister Thrills and chills. From apocalyptic viruses to vanishing villagers to robot uprisings, TV gets downright creepy It’s a frightful world on TV these days. A rash of scripted summer thrillers cautions viewers to batten down the hatches. Hold your loved ones tight before they vanish into thin air! And with all the deadly viruses at large, you better bathe in Purell! A certain brand of TV drama has always kept its audience on high alert, at least as far back as The Twilight Zone. But these days, with agencies hacking your email, new diseases cropping up, ice caps melting and drones overhead, viewers are sitting ducks for the titillation of dramatized threats to offer welcome distraction from the real thing. The message is clear: Danger lurks everywhere. On your airline flight, you might get something even worse than the food, resulting in a plane that lands at JFK full of passengers-

Sharks and the City

A sequel to last year’s goofy Syfy horror film Sharknado is set for August, when a torrent of man-eating sharks will terrorize the Big Apple.

turned-corpses. That’s the big start of The Strain, premiering July 13 on FX Canada. And things quickly worsen. Side effects for each victim on this series include rapid hair loss and a bloodsucking proboscis.

This apocalypse has been loosed by evil forces. The only hope for humanity’s salvation is Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (played by series star Corey Stoll). He vows to save the day. Same with the pandemic on The Last Ship (airing Sun-

days on Space). By chance, an Arctic-stationed Navy destroyer has evaded this mass outbreak, leaving the crew with the duty of saving what’s left of humanity. Good thing they just happen to have on board a renowned paleomicrobiolo-

gist, Dr. Rachel Scott (played by Rhona Mitra). She’s humanity’s only hope for salvation. She vows to save the day. This virus of unknown origin has already killed 80 per cent of the world’s population. By contrast, a relatively meagre two per cent have disappeared on The Leftovers with no warning. But the 98 per cent left behind are reeling from the mass exodus. This series (premiering Sunday on HBO Canada) focuses on what’s left of tiny Mapleton, N.Y., as citizens scratch their heads and feud about the root cause: rapture, or random catastrophe? Meanwhile, birth control — in outer space — poses a dilemma on the drama Extant (premiering July 9 on Global). Halle Berry plays an astronaut who returns home from a year-long solo mission only

to discover that, on her flight, she was somehow impregnated. Pretty awkward, since she has a husband who was waiting faithfully back at home — and who, like her, had long believed she was unable to conceive. Could she be the victim of an extraterrestrial roofie? But who’s the dad? Something sinister seems to be afoot, with a NASA official part of the mischief. And to make matters worse, the adorable robot child she and hubby are raising as their flesh-and-blood son just might be a psychopath, not to mention the harbinger of a robot uprising. Is there any refuge from robot bullies, killer germs and cosmic abductions? Well, you might look to Chester’s Mill, Maine, a onceserene village that was cut off from the outside world, with no notice or explanation, by a Pyrex-on-steroids prison. This, of course, is the plight of the village in Under the Dome, the hit returning for its second season June 30 on Global. The citizens of Chester’s Mill are protected from invaders, but they manage to create plenty of grief for themselves. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sorry, ladies! Channing Tatum’s not divorcing his wife any time soon

Orlando Bloom All Photos Getty Images

Orlando’s partying may have been why Miranda called it quits

It seems the secret ingredient to Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr’s divorce was his penchant for drinking. Sources tell Radar Online that Bloom has a tendency to “black out” and “become someone else” when partying, which Kerr couldn’t stand. The source points to one particular party last year just before their separation was announced. “Orlando got wasted at one of Ian McKellan’s famous dinner parties, which was mostly just a wine party. Miranda hates when Orly gets drunk the way he does because he often blacks out and forgets where he is,” the source explains. “Someone usually walks him home just to be safe, but I think the drinking was the flaw Miranda used to file the divorce.”

Channing Tatum and his wife, Jenna Dewan Tatum, would like to make it very clear that Star magazine’s reports about them being headed for divorce are not at all true. “It’s disappointing to see another example of Star magazine using outright lies to sell their weekly covers and trying to pass it off as journalism,” a rep for the couple tells Us Weekly. “Their current delusional cover couldn’t be further from the truth.” Star’s latest cover story claims that “Channing constantly hits on women” and “removes his wedding ring” when he’s out and about. But apparently not so much, actually.

If you were watching Thursday’s World Cup game between the U.S. and Germany, which Germany won 1-0, you may have noticed that the U.S. side’s secret weapon was absent from the field. Who’s that, you ask? No, not star Jozy Altidore — who went down with an injury in the team’s very first game of the tournament — but rather Will Ferrell.

The Anchorman star visited U.S. World Cup headquarters in Brazil this week, where he indicated he was ready and willing to pull a Suarez for America in Thursday’s game. Raising the fist of a soccer fan dressed as President Teddy Roosevelt, Ferrell led the crowd in chants of “USA! USA!” “I’m so honoured to be playing (Thursday),” Ferrell said. “I’m not gonna lie to you, I’m not in soccer shape right now, but I’m gonna try my best ... If the game gets close, I will bite the opponent. I will bite every German player if I have to.” Ferrell also promised to reunite with fans after the game to party. “Look for the guy sitting next to Teddy

My resolution to be bolder when I barbecue this season is going ... slowly. While I may have had dreams of planked salmon and racks of baby back ribs dancing on my grill, the lowly hamburger and hot dog just keep calling. Not that they can’t be considered haute cuisine, there are plenty of glossy cookbooks dedicated to both. What I really love is that you don’t have to get fancy when looking for a wine match. The thing to remember is that the meat involved isn’t the star of the show. It’s everything you pile on top that dictates the pairing. Sugary condiments, hot peppers, cheese, sauerkraut — you name it, someone is layering it between their buns. Off-dry red and white wines are the most accommodating because they can roll with the sweet extremes and smother the fire of anything hot. California’s Revolution Red ($9.49 - $12.99) is a bright, berryforward wine with a touch of residual sweetness. With more body than you might expect at its pricepoint, it makes a great partner with simple barbecue fare. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

Starch Highly nourishing grains like barley and flax grow in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Flax is a golden or brown seed that is high in fibre and good fat. Soaking or simmering creates a soluble fibre gel that is beneficial. Barley, meanwhile, serves up a base of fibre and nutrients. P.E.I. grows potatoes and the mini red ones can be tossed into the grain pot so everything simmers together to create a new twist on summer’s ubiqui-

Salad dressing If you’ve never seen a canola field in bloom in a province like Alberta, you missing out on beautiful golden yellow fields that generate an oil seed that is in demand all over the world. The other yellow crop grown in many provinces including Ontario is mustard seed, which is a great binder in vinaigrette. Apples grow across Canada, including in Newfoundland and New Brunswick, so apple cider vinegar is a must. Quebec maple trees are tapped for their sweet sap that adds a piquant sweetness to a savoury dish. Greens are grown everywhere so a tiptoe through the farmland will deliver bitter dandelion and chives.

of the culture. The other coast of Nova Scotia serves up crab. To make life simple, go for the canned stuff. It’s simple to use but equally delicious and nourishing. According to Agriculture Canada, the Yukon’s biggest export is cattle and forage, so Greek yogurt, the popular dairy product, will lend a creaminess and protein to the seafood salad topping.

2. Whisk 1/4 cup canola oil, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and mustard for dressing.

Bourbon. Maple. Good. Glazed Salmon Fillet. It cooks quickly and is hard to overcook, making it perfect for when unexpected guests pop up With grilling season in full swing, we’re all looking for new and delicious ways to feed a crowd. A centre-cut salmon fillet fits the bill. All salmon grills up wonderfully, but centre-cut fillets are particularly great when feeding larger groups. Because these fillets tend to have a uniform thickness, they cook up evenly. And that means all your guests can eat at the same time. Larger fillets can feed upward of 10 people. They also happen to look impressive on a platter. When buying salmon fillets, opt for skin-on. The skin adds flavour and protects the delicate fish during grilling. The skin also gives you a nifty Ingredients • 2 lb centre-cut salmon fillet (about 1 inch thick), skin separated, then replaced (ask your butcher to do this) • Olive oil • Salt and ground white pepper • 1/4 cup maple syrup • Juice and zest of 1/2 small orange • 2 tbsp bourbon

way to remove the fish from the grill with no fear of sticking. Start by having your fishmonger cut the skin from the fillet, then place the fillet back on the skin before wrapping it. When ready to cook, you simply set the skin on the grill, then place the salmon on top of it. The salmon even could be cut into individual portions before being placed on the skin. Then just cook as directed and remove from the grill (lifting it off the skin) using a spatula. The trick when buying salmon is to smell the fish. If it smells briny and clean, it is fresh. If it has any “fishy” or ammonia smell, do not buy it. Once you have your piece of fish, remove it from the paper and slowly and gently run your fingers up and down the flesh to feel for any small bones that have been left in it. You can remove these with fish pliers. Because salmon is a more “meaty” fish, it can stand up to a world of flavours. That definitely is the case with the simple maple-bourbon glaze used in this recipe. It has only three main ingredients, so each of those ingredients must be of the best quality. The star is the bourbon, sweetened by real maple syrup and fresh orange juice, all balanced by a pinch of salt. This simple glaze brightens up the salmon, adds a complexity that makes you want a second helping, and elevates your backyard grill-

ing to three-star status!

1. Heat grill to medium and prepare for indirect cooking. On a charcoal grill, this entails banking coals to one side and cooking on cooler side. On a gas grill, it means turning off one side (or the centre burner) and cooking over the cooler section. 2. Check for and remove small bones in salmon. Brush salmon on all sides with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Lay fish, skin-side down, directly on cooking grate on the cooler side of the grill. Cook salmon until opaque, but still moist, 25 minutes, depending on thickness. 3. Meanwhile, in bowl whisk

maple syrup, orange zest and juice, the bourbon and a pinch of salt. Brush the glaze over the salmon during the final 10 minutes. Do not turn the salmon during cooking.

To transfer fish to serving platter, slide wide spatula between flesh and the skin. Lift salmon off grill, leaving the skin behind. Cover salmon with foil to keep warm.

5. Slide skin over to hot side of the grill, then close lid. Cook 3 minutes, or until skin is crisp and the salmon oils are bubbling. Remove skin from grill and serve on the side as you would a chip. The Associated Press/Elizabeth Karmel, author of Soaked, Slathered and Seasoned.

Mooseheads hopefuls can ‘expect the unexpected’ NHL draft. Rookie sniper Nikolal Ehlers could go top 10 KRISTEN LIPSCOMBE

About the only expectation at any NHL draft is “to expect the unexpected,” according to Halifax Mooseheads general manager Cam Russell. “They never go as people think they will,” he said Thursday night. “There (are) always lots of surprises. But one fairly sure thing about this year’s entry draft, which starts with the first round tonight and continues Saturday with rounds 2-7 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, is that “Nik is going to be somebody that’s picked very high,” Russell said. Nikolaj Ehlers of Aalborg, Denmark, goes into this year’s event ranked as the 13th North American skater by the NHL’s Central Scouting Bureau. The 18-year-old forward was named rookie of the year for both the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Canadian Hockey League this past

Other local hopefuls include netminder Mason McDonald of the Charlottetown Islanders, who is ranked second among North American goalies, fellow goaltender Jack Flinn of the Owen Sound Attack, ranked 25th, and centreman Matt Highmore of the Saint John Sea Dogs, who is listed at 155th among forwards. All three are from Halifax.

Four months. FIFA bans Suarez for biting incident Luis Suarez exits the World Cup with one of the longest bans in tournament history, and his reputation once again in tatters. The Uruguay forward, widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, was banned by FIFA from all football for four months on Thursday for biting an Italian opponent in an incident that marred the team’s victory and progression to the second round. It’s the third time he’s served a suspension for biting an opponent — after similar incidents at both Ajax in the Dutch league and Liverpool in England — and the second straight World Cup where Suarez exits in disgrace. The four-month ban will sideline Suarez for the first two months of Liverpool’s season. He was also suspended for Uruguay’s next nine matches, which extends beyond the four months and rules him out of next year’s Copa America, where his team is the defending champion. The Uru-

Germans defeat Americans, both move on to knockout stage Joachim Loew and Jurgen Klinsmann shook hands, smiled and patted each other on the shoulders, like the two good friends they are. The two coaches had every reason to be pleased: Both of their teams advanced to the knockout stage of the World Cup. Loew’s Germany beat Klinsmann’s United States 1-0 thanks to Thomas Mueller’s fourth goal of the tournament and the outcome allowed both teams to advance. Portugal beat Ghana 2-1 in the other Group G match, but both were eliminated. A draw would have been enough as well, and it had been the matter of much conjecture before Thursday’s raindrenched match. But neither team held back and both attacked, although Germany was clearly in control. “Well, first I asked him (Klinsmann) for the result of the other match. I didn’t know that and he also told me they advanced and I told him, I’m happy,” Loew said. “That is a tough group and the Americans were a bit the outsiders.

Aries

Taurus

April 21 - May 21 Short trips will be productive today, so don’t stay in one place for too long. The more you are on the move the more likely it is you will meet people who can be of some use to you.

Gemini

May 22 - June 21 What happens today will remind you that money is not the most important thing in the world. Yes, you need to make a living but that does not mean you should put material things ahead of everything else.

Cancer

June 22 - July 23 A new moon in your birth sign today gives you an advantage over most people and you would be a fool not to take advantage of it. You may not have this much energy for quite a while, so be amazing.

Leo

July 24 - Aug. 23 You have nothing to fear and everything to look forward to and the more you repeat that phrase to yourself today the more likely it is you will have a great time.

Virgo

Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Today’s new moon suggests you can take a leadership role in group activities. Others will follow you willingly if you are willing to take more responsibility. Lead from the front.

March 21 - April 20 Take care of family matters today. You will not only have the desire to do something about them but partners will for once be co-operative, so make the most of the situation and spread a little happiness.

metronews.ca WEEKEND, June 27-29, 2014

Libra

Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 You can expect something big to happen on the work front over the next few days. But why wait for things to happen to you? Show those in power you’re ready to be promoted.

Scorpio

Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Because today’s new moon falls in one of the more expansive areas of your chart your thoughts will be positive. What you think about now will be your reality later on.

Sagittarius

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Cosmic activity in one of the more sensitive areas of your chart may give you a negative view of life but it does not have to be that way. What happens over the next 24 hours will confirm that you are loved.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 A new moon in your opposite sign of Cancer means that partners and loved ones will be full of themselves over the next 24 hours. Instead of getting angry about it why don’t you join in the fun?

Aquarius

Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Others insist that you work harder but don’t do it. You may have time and energy at your disposal but you should be using it to further your own aims, not the aims of others.

Pisces

Feb. 20 - March 20 Today’s new moon in the most dynamic area of your chart endows you with confidence and energy. Whatever you put your mind to will be a success. But don’t spread yourself too thin. SALLY BROMPTON
