Talk of downtown relief line back on the rails Troubled transit. The Yonge line has been at capacity for more than a decade

1 NEWS On the web

How do you spell relief if you ride the south end of the Yonge subway?

D-R-L — downtown relief line.

Since 1910, when the idea first emerged of a transit line connecting the east end of Toronto with the south end of Yonge Street, the DRL has gained very little traction.

But the concept has resurfaced lately. Crowding is already so bad at the south end of Yonge that new TTC chief Andy Byford immediately identified a DRL as a priority.

There is a chorus of experts who suggest that Mayor Rob Ford has been crusading for the wrong subway on Sheppard Avenue East; that he could better serve suburban constituents by focusing on a downtown relief line.

“We’ve got to turn our attention back to the core, where the density is,” insists Toronto transportation planning guru Ed Levy.

“The downtown is starving, and it is being served by the oldest, most constricted stations in the city,” he said.

But downtowners can walk or use streetcars. The pain at the bottom of Yonge Street is as much a suburban commuter’s problem as a condo dweller’s.

It becomes “ludicrous,” said Levy, when you factor in the ambitions of York Region to extend the subway up to Richmond Hill, where new riders would only add to the crowds cramming platforms down the line at Dundas and Queen.

It’s only because development patterns have changed that it continues to limp along, said Bill Dawson, the TTC’s director of routes and service planning.

Man dead after Porsche hits tree

Parking fight leads to hammer attack

Peel police are looking for a suspect after a man was left injured from a hammer attack during a dispute over a parking spot. The two men attempted to park in the same spot outside a TD bank in a strip mall on Central Parkway West in Mississauga

“A couple of things have kept a lid on this issue. GO has absorbed a lot of the ridership into downtown over those 15 years. The other big factor is condos downtown. Residential downtown has ... a higher proportion of people working downtown that don’t have to take the subway,” he said.

Metrolinx’s 25-year regional transit plan includes a downtown relief line in the years beyond the plan itself. But in November, it was looking at a DRL as part of a solution to the looming capacity crisis at Union Station.

Helping suburbanites in the core The identification of the DRL as a “downtown” line is somewhat misleading because it has the potential to be the subway suburbanites crave, said Eric Miller, cities centre director at the University of Toronto.

“It should go up into Scarborough, it should go

up into Etobicoke. It’s a way for people from Scarborough and Etobicoke to get downtown without having to traipse all the way over to Yonge Street,” he said.

Transit blogger Steve Munro agrees that a DRL “has a function in its own right. It’s not just there to give you a way to get around Bloor and Yonge.”

Munro puts the cost at more than $4 billion — in the range, certainly, of the projected Sheppard subway price tag.

Will new job strategy work?

Unemployment.

City program focuses on linking employers with job-seekers

It is barely nine o’clock on a damp spring morning and the six computer work stations at Toronto’s tiny Regent Park employment centre are humming with eager job-seekers.

The sleek new storefront on Dundas Street East is a far cry from Toronto’s old institutional welfare offices, where residents took a number and waited in rows of plastic chairs to meet caseworkers behind Plexiglas service counters.

“We are transforming our welfare offices to meet today’s needs for employment support, job training and career planning,” says Karen Wilson, a manager with Toronto employment and social services.

“We are also aiming to link people to other services such as child care, affordable housing and income support,” she adds. “And we’re open to everyone, not just those on social assistance.”

The office in the heart of the city’s bustling Regent Park revitalization is one of 18 full-service and satellite municipal sites and among several hundred employment programs across Toronto.

They are run by the city, the province and scores of social agencies. And until now,

most have operated in relative isolation.

But under a new economic-development and employment strategy approved by city council last month, Toronto is gearing up to play a co-ordinating role to help link employers to job-seekers from all walks of life, not just those on welfare.

The city will also work to better understand the recruitment needs of employers and ensure job-seekers have the necessary training to fill the positions.

“We need to have a process where we can work with employers, work with jobseekers, work with other levels of government to co-ordinate our approach in terms of how we help those different groups,” said Councillor Michael Thompson, who is spearheading the strategy as chair of the city’s economic development committee.

“It’s really a good step in the right direction.”

It is also an approach supported by Ontario’s social service review commission, which is calling for a more streamlined approach to employment support in an attempt to end service gaps, duplication and the stigma faced by people on welfare.

It is not just large-scale redevelopment projects that can benefit from this strategy. The city was also instrumental in helping a North Bay call centre open a Toronto office in Scarborough last June. torstar news service

Plan begins working

The Regent Park revitalization is one of the best examples of Toronto’s new Working as One plan.

• Since 2008, the city’s partnership with developer Daniels Corp. has helped more than 450

local residents find work in construction and new local businesses.

• “It has been an opportunity for the people of Regent Park to get their foot in the door,” says Daniels vice-president Martin Blake.

Welfare. Province can do Education. Bible ban more to help, study says leads to verbal attacks If the best route out of poverty is a job, a commission studying Ontario’s welfare system thinks the province can do more to help its most vulnerable residents find work.

Part of the problem is that almost half of Ontario’s $1.2 billion worth of training programs are available only to people receiving employment-insurance benefits.

And yet, barely half of the province’s jobless — and less than a quarter in Toronto — are eligible for EI. As a result, swaths of job-seekers, including more than 550,000 households living on social assistance, are shut out of these programs, the commissioners note.

Making employment supports available to all job-seekers would level the playing field and help the province’s neediest escape poverty, says Ontario’s social services review commission, headed by Frances Lankin and Munir Sheikh.

The commission’s final report, to be released in June, will also include recommendations on how to improve the administration of the province’s two welfare programs: Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program.

And it will look at how to ensure that welfare rates are adequate, sustainable and fair. torstar news service

An Ontario public school board’s decision to ban distribution of Gideon Bibles to its young students has unleashed a torrent of threatening calls and hateful emails directed at trustees.

Some messages to the Bluewater District School Board, which covers a broad territory around Owen Sound up to Tobermory, express racist sentiment and question trustees’ patriotism.

The invective has unnerved some trustees as they prepare to formalize the ban on distribution of all non-instructional religious materials prompted by a parent’s complaint about the decades-old tradition of offering free Gideon Bibles to Grade 5 students.

Trustee Fran Morgan called the “onslaught” of messages “really disturbing,” and said it has made her uneasy about driving the 30 kilometres to board meetings by herself.

The Bluewater board, with more than 18,000 students in 53 schools, is expected to formalize the ban at its meeting April 17. the canadian press

Recovery. 20-year-old communicating after double-lung transplant JOE LOFARO

Metro in Ottawa

Hélène Campbell is showing signs of recovery from her seven-hour double-lung transplant — spelling words and breathing a bit on her own, her mother tweeted Sunday.

The 20-year-old Barrhaven, Ont., woman who launched a powerful organ-donation awareness campaign after being diagnosed with advanced pulmonary fibrosis last summer underwent the doublelung transplant surgery Friday morning at the Toronto General Hospital.

On Sunday, her mother, Assault?

Education minister accuses constituent Alberta’s education minister said he was assaulted on Saturday while door-knocking at a home in the provincial election campaign, but the man who answered the door denied hitting him.

Manon Roy Campbell, tweeted, “With an alphabetic board, Helene is spelling words to communicate when awake.

She was doing some leg exercises while in bed this afternoon!”

In a previous tweet, Manon also said, “Helene continues to remain stable, she is able to do some breathing on her own but is still helped with the ventilator.” the canadian press Thomas Lukaszuk said he was in his Edmonton-Castle Downs constituency when he knocked on the door of a home that displayed signs supporting the opposition Wildrose party. The resident of the home, however, insists he never punched Lukaszuk and only touched him when the candidate refused repeated requests to leave. the canadian press

McGill student suing U.S. government for border interrogation Lawsuit. Student’s lawyers argue search was unconstitutional, but government says it has right to search at border without cause A Montreal university student was detained at the U.S. border, held for several hours, interrogated, had his personal belongings searched and saw his computer confiscated for over a week.

What caught the authorities’ attention? His doctoral research on Islamic studies, he says.

In a case that has attracted media attention in the U.S., Pascal Abidor has become embroiled in a drawn-out legal battle with the American government.

Abidor, a 28-year-old American and French dual citizen, was returning by train to Brook-

lyn in May 2010 when a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent stopped him at the border in Champlain, N.Y. The agent turned on Abidor’s computer and found photos of rallies by the Hamas militant group. He says he explained that he had downloaded them from Google as part of his McGill University doctoral dissertation on the modern history of

Shiites in Lebanon.

When Abidor’s laptop was returned 11 days later, there was evidence that many of his personal files had been opened, he said. A federal judge heard arguments in July 2011 by the U.S. government for throwing out the lawsuit. The judge has yet to rule on whether he will dismiss the case.

Escalating costs

Jets’ price tag not news to MacKay Defence Minister Peter MacKay says he was aware two years ago that it would cost closer to $25 billion to buy a new fleet of F-35 stealth fighter jets.

That’s about $10 billion more than the nearly $15 billion the government has maintained would be the price of the 65 radar-evading aircraft.

MacKay was asked on CTV’s Question Period whether he was aware of the higher internal number.

He said the higher number takes into account the ongoing cost of pilots’ salaries and other costs associated with operating the current fleet of CF-18 jet fighters.

“Yes, and it was explained to me just that way, that the additional $10 billion was money that you could describe as sunk costs, that is what we’re paying our personnel, and the fuel that is currently being expended in CF-18s, jet fuel, maintenance costs, what we are currently spending,” MacKay said. the canadian press

Staffords mark third anniversary of Tori’s disappearance

Victoria (Tori) Stafford’s father Rodney and her brother Daryn visit her grave in Woodstock, Ont., on Sunday. dave chidley/the canadian press

It has been three years since eight-year-old Victoria Stafford vanished outside her school in Woodstock, Ont., and in the midst of the trial of the man accused in her death, her family is spending a quiet day marking the grim anniversary.

Her father Rodney Stafford and his family are to pay a visit to Tori’s grave, as they have been most days throughout the trial of Michael Rafferty in London, Ont. April 8, 2009, was the day Tori never returned home from school and never would again.

It’s tough to recall that day and the agonizing months that followed, before her remains were discovered that July, but at the same time each April 8 is just another day without Tori, said Rodney Stafford.

Three years

“Yes, it’s an anniversary, but I don’t want to keep reliving that day.”

Rodney Stafford, father of Tori on anniversary of daughter’s abduction.

“Yes, it’s an anniversary, but I don’t want to keep reliving that day,” he said.

“There’s a deeper loss because she’s gone, but at the same time there’s more positive out there.”

Since Tori disappeared the community support for the family has been overwhelming, Stafford said.

On Easter Sunday in 2009 a candlelight vigil for Tori, then missing four days, was organized and well over 1,000 people from Woodstock and beyond flooded a

parking lot in town to pray for the girl’s safe return.

That same day, court has heard, Terri-Lynne McClintic was arrested on a breach of probation.

She later confessed to abducting Tori and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.

McClintic also faces a new unrelated charge of assault causing bodily harm in connection with an incident last January at the Grand Valley Institution for Women, the prison where she is serving her sentence.

Rafferty, 31, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, sexual assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping.

The Staffords have attended every day of the trial, though they say it’s difficult to listen to the allegations against Rafferty.

The support of people

across the country is one thing that keeps them going, they say.

They attended a charity race Friday in London, and were quite affected by a girl who wore a T-shirt in memory of Tori.

She placed first in the 12 and under category, Stafford said.

“It was a tear-jerker, knowing the reason she was doing it,” Stafford said.

“It’s proving that the story is affecting everyone, even kids.”

Well-wishers ask what they can do to honour Tori’s memory, and for now Stafford just hopes everyone can spend time with family, as he will.

“It’s Easter weekend,” he said.

“Enjoy it. Grab your kids close.” the canadian press

in spate of five Rescuers dig through Arrests shootings in Tulsa. Black community terrorized snow at avalanche site Kashmir region. 24 hours later, workers had yet to find any of the 135 soldiers and civilians missing after snow swept army base Rescue workers used bulldozers Sunday to dig through huge banks of snow following a massive avalanche a day earlier in Siachen that engulfed a military complex and buried at least 135 people.

Most of the victims were soldiers.

The avalanche occurred in a mountain battleground close to the Indian border.

More than 24 hours after the disaster at the entrance to the Siachen Glacier, no bodies have yet been recovered, said military officials.

The accident, whose site is on the northern tip of the divided Kashmir region claimed by both India and Pakistan, highlighted the risks of de-

Troops have been posted at elevations of up to 6,700 metres and have skirmished

intermittently since 1984.

The glacier is known as the world’s highest battlefield.

The army said 240 troops and civilians worked at the scene Sunday with the aid of

sniffer dogs and heavy machinery.

Police backed by a helicopter arrested two men early Sunday and said they would face murder charges in the recent shootings that terrorized Tulsa’s black community.

Three people were killed and two others were critically wounded.

Police spokesman said the two men were arrested at a home just north of Tulsa about 2 a.m. Sunday and were expected to be charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill.

While police identified the men as white and all the victims are black, authorities have not described the shootings as racially motivated and declined to discuss that issue.

Community leaders, however, expressed concern about the motivation for the shootings on Tulsa’s predominantly black north side, as well as the possibility that they would provoke a vigilante response.

The Rev. Warren Blakney Sr., president of the Tulsa chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a civil-

rights organization, said that word of the arrests had provided a great sense of relief.

“The community once again can go about its business without fear of there being a shooter on the streets on today, on Easter morning,” he said.

Police said they linked the shootings because they happened about the same time and within a few kilometres of each other, All five victims were out walking when they were shot.

Four were found in yards, and one in the street.

Police have said they don’t believe the victims knew one another. They identified the men in custody as Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32, but gave no hometowns for them.

Officers said they were taken early Sunday for questioning at a downtown Tulsa police station, where they would be booked and jailed.

Tulsa police Chief Chuck Jordan called the attacks vicious and cowardly. Police said they did not have a motive for the shootings. the associated press

60 Minutes’ ‘interrogator’ Mike Wallace dies at 93 Obituary. Feared for his prosecutorial style, Wallace’s reputation arrived for the interview before he did “Mike Wallace is here to see you.”

The 60 Minutes journalist’s reputation as a pitiless inquisitor was so fearsome that it was often said that those were the most dreaded words in the English language, capable of reducing an interview subject to a shaking, sweating mess.

Wallace, who won his 21st and final Emmy Award at 89, died Saturday in the New Canaan, Conn., care facility where he had lived the last few years of his life. He was 93.

Wallace didn’t just interview people. He interrogated

them. He cross-examined them. Sometimes he eviscerated them. His weapons were many: thorough research, a cocked eyebrow, a skeptical “Come on” and a question so direct sometimes it took your breath away.

He was well aware that his reputation arrived at an interview before he did, said Jeff Fager, CBS News chairman and Wallace’s long-time producer at 60 Minutes.

“He loved it,” Fager said Sunday. “He loved that part of Mike Wallace. He loved being Mike Wallace. He loved the fact that if he showed up for an interview, it made people nervous.... He knew, and he knew that everybody else knew, that he was going to get to the truth. And that’s what motivated him.”

Wallace made 60 Minutes compulsively watchable, television’s first newsmagazine that became appointment viewing on Sunday nights.

His last interview, in January 2008, was with Roger Clemens on his alleged steroid use. Slowed by a triple bypass later that month and the ravages of time, he retired from public life. the associated press

Vatican. Pope calls on Syria to put stop to ongoing violence Pope Benedict XVI implored the Syrian regime Sunday to heed international demands to end the bloodshed and expressed hope that the joy of Easter will comfort Christian communities suffering because of their faith.

Benedict, struggling with hoarseness and looking tired, celebrated Mass on Christianity’s most joyous holy day on the flower-adorned steps of St. Peter’s Basilica, before a crowd of faithful that swelled to far

over 100,000 by the end of the two-hour-long ceremony.

Only hours earlier, the pontiff, who turns 85 on April 16, had led a long nighttime vigil service in the church. There have been concerns over his health and he has recently used a cane in public appearances..

At the end of Sunday’s Mass, Benedict moved to the basilica’s central balcony to read his Easter message “to the entire world.” the associated press

Peace plan for Syria delayed A UN-brokered plan to stop the bloodshed in Syria effectively collapsed Sunday after President Bashar Assad’s government raised new, last-minute demands that the country’s largest rebel group swiftly rejected.

The truce plan, devised

by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan, was supposed to go into effect on Tuesday, with a withdrawal of Syrian forces from population centres, followed within 48 hours by a cease-ire by both sides in the uprising against four decades of repressive rule by the Assad family.

But on Sunday, Syria’s Foreign Ministry said that, ahead of any troop pullback, the government needs written guarantees from opposition fighters that they will lay down their weapons.

The commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army said that while his group is ready to abide by a truce, it does not recognize the regime “and for that reason we will not give guarantees.”

Pipeline. Aboriginals growing more dismayed with hearings process The federal government’s decision to put a cap on how long environmental-assessment hearings can drag on isn’t expected to affect the Northern Gateway pipeline project, but aboriginal reaction to the change probably will.

Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver says Ottawa isn’t planning to fast-track the approval process for the proposed $5.5-billion pipeline, despite his government’s announcement in last month’s budget they would limit project reviews to 24 months.

The Gateway assessment was always scheduled to be completed within that time frame.

But aboriginal leaders in British Columbia say they are becoming increasingly dismayed with the publichearing process and are now seriously considering bypassing the hearings and heading straight to court.

Coastal First Nations spokesman Art Sterritt said the cancellation of a day and a half of scheduled reviewpanel hearings in the central

Panel process • A three-member panel is assessing the environmental effects of the project and is reviewing the Enbridge application under both the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and the National Energy Board Act. • Under the act, the panel will decide if the project is in the public interest. It will assess its environmental effects and make recommendations to the Conservative government.

B.C. coastal community of Bella Bella last week signalled to many aboriginals that Ottawa has already heard enough from Northern Gateway’s opponents.

“My guess is they are now going to try and shut it down by the fall,” said Sterritt, whose organization is an alliance of about a dozen First Nations along B.C.’s north and central coasts and Haida Gwaii.

Retracing Titanic’s path All aboard

Cruise recreates experience 100 years later

Are there things in your home that are gathering dust? A food processor you never use? A pair Lia Grainger of loafers you bought and wore toronto@metronews.ca once? An old desk that’s been taking up space in the basement for years? Well now there’s an app for that.

“There’s all this latent value that people have just sitting in their homes,” says Tradyo co-founder Eran Henig. “We thought to ourselves, How can we get at that?”

Henig, 27, and Tradyo co-founder Gideon Hayden, 24, developed the free app during the first instalment of The Next 36, a Canadian mentorship program that gives promising young undergrads support and resources to develop in the mobile and tablet markets.

“You have to come up with a big idea that can have a real impact on the economy,” says Henig, who studied computer science at University of Toronto. “Our idea was to take the collaborative-consumption movement and make it mobile.”

Here’s how it works: users take a photo of the item they want to sell with their iPhone (the app will be ready for Android devices by summer) and assign the item a price. The phone’s GPS pinpoints the item’s location, so buyers know exactly how far they’ll have to go to pick it up.

To combat the scammers on classified sites like Craigslist Tradyo and Kijiji, the seller’s profile is connected to a limited view of Here’s how it works: their Facebook, so you can see users take a photo of that she’s a real person. There a “chat” component, so the item they want to isyoualso can correspond in real time sell with their iPhone with the seller or buyer.

If you’re looking for some(the app will be ready that isn’t currently listed, for Android devices by thing you can create an alert, so that summer) and assign when those size-9 Vera Wang heels you’ve been coveting get the item a price. The by someone a mere 400 phone’s GPS pinpoints listed metres away, you’ll be the first the item’s location, so to know.

And if you’re not sure about buyers know exactly item, just click the Should how far they’ll have to an I Buy button, and you can post go to pick it up. the item to Facebook and debate with your friends whether $35 for a 10-piece Japanese teacup set is a good deal.

If Tradyo takes off, it has the potential to be money saver and a time saver. And, more than that, if it gets people in the habit of buying items used from each other instead of new from a store, it could dramatically reduce our impact on the environment. And that’s a big idea.

Easter feast for Hunger Games

Our Lady Peace released their latest album, Curve, last week. AARON VINCENT ELKAIM/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Our Lady Peace had a clumsy path to new disc Transformation. Band came to the brink of a breakup before enlisting the help of a new producer who helped them push their sound forward The past decade hasn’t been an entirely peaceful time for Our Lady Peace.

Frontman Raine Maida concedes that diminishing record sales, a hobbled industry and an occasional feeling of creative aimlessness brought the Toronto band closer to the brink of a breakup than they’ve otherwise been in nearly 20 years of playing together. But Maida says the alt-rock quartet stayed united

Toughing it out

“I think we all really knew in our hearts we hadn’t got there yet.”

Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida on the band sticking together through tough times so they could put out their latest album, Curve.

in large part because they could sense a creative breakthrough was around the corner, and he feels they’ve found it with new disc, Curve. “I think the last 10 years were probably the most tumultuous, and we never broke up because even when we were really on the cusp of it — of walking away from this — because we hadn’t made this record,” Maida said during a recent interview in Toronto. “I think we all really knew in our hearts we hadn’t got there yet.”

The transformative process began the first time the band

got into a room with producer Jason Lader (known for helming discs by Maroon 5, Rilo Kiley and Elvis Costello), who was blunt in summing up his thoughts on some of the material the band was working with at the time.

And Maida said it was crude candour, not tact, that the band needed. “It’s like when you’re in a relationship for a long time with someone — it gets harder and harder to pull the right things out of people,” he said. “I can only push Jeremy (Taggart) so hard as a drummer and he’s

only going to say certain things to me as a lyricist ... it’s all baby steps. But then we brought Jason in and it’s like no baby steps. No filter. ‘This sucks. You guys don’t listen to this kind of music, why would you make a record like this? Let’s challenge you.”’

For Maida, the process meant revisiting records that inspired him — early Peter Gabriel and David Bowie — to draw inspiration. The band pushed to find deeper grooves, unusual rhythms and new textures, adding keyboards (or guitars that sounded like keyboards) and new vocal wrinkles to subtly tweak their sound.

It was important to Maida that the band not stray too far from their traditional sound, but instead push it forward.

Largely, the new tunes

sound a little subtler, a little funkier. The supple Window Seat slowly heats to a boil, Fire in the Hen House dances atop a nimble bassline while albumcloser Mettle mixes spokenword recordings over delicately plucked guitar strings.

The recordings in question came from conversations conducted with 74-year-old Canadian boxing legend George Chuvalo. Maida — a lifelong fan of boxing and mixed martial arts — went to Chuvalo’s home with a tape recorder to talk about the boxer’s life, which was racked with hardship. Chuvalo lost three of his sons to suicide or addiction and his first wife also took her own life. “There’s so much depth to George,” Maida said. “He’s a fighter in and out of the ring.”

Film fans are still forking over for The Hunger Games, which has taken in $33.5 million to lead the box office for a third-straight weekend. According to studio estimates Sunday, The Hunger Games raised its domestic total to $302.8 million. It easily out-earned two returning favourites, the American Pie sequel American Reunion and a 3D version of the blockbuster Titanic. Both newcomers opened solidly, though.

American Reunion pulled in $21.5 million, the lowest haul since the 1999 original but still a decent return for a comedy franchise whose last chapter came nine years ago. Titanic in 3D reeled in $17.4 million over the weekend, raising its domestic take to $25.7 million since opening Wednesday.

DIRECTED BY DIANE PAULUS PRESENTED BY

Poor Britney Spears. Sure, she’s a famous millionaire, has two cute kids (we can overlook for a moment with whom she had them), and a killer body.

But she’s still apparently incapable of looking after her own affairs.

It was announced over the weekend that her fiancé, Jason Trawick, has reportedly filed a petition to be added as one of her conservators, according to E! News.

If approved, Trawick would be in charge of Spears’ general well-being, while the singer’s father would still be in charge of her multimillion-dollar

fortune. Per People, a conservator like Trawick has the legal authority to make decisions over a person’s food, clothing and medical care.

Since 2008, Spears’ father has held legal control over her, her career, and her fortune after the singer suffered a psychological breakdown.

Sad. Usually you hope a marriage will be an equal partnership in all affairs, but it seems like Spears, 30, is still so medicated/ sick that she’s incapable of self-sufficiency. This is what America does to its famous young women. Amanda Bynes, take note.

Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes, 26, showed she isn’t that innocent by pulling a very Lohan-esque move over the weekend: She drunkenly careened into a police car in the wee hours of Friday morning.

According to People magazine, the Hairspray actress was arrested for driving under the influence in Los Angeles after colliding with a police car at around 3 a.m. on Friday, after partying at L.A.’s Greystone Manor Club.

“A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy in a marked black and white radio car was stopped at the intersection of ... Robertson Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard preparing to turn right onto Santa Monica Boulevard when a black BMW driven by actress Amanda Bynes attempted to pass the right of the radio car, colliding with the right rear quarter panel of the radio car,” the West Hollywood Sheriff’s office said in a statement.

“There was minor paint transfer damage to both

vehicles. Amanda Bynes was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence and booked at West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station.”

The actress sported pink-highlighted hair in her mug shot, and after posting $5,000 for bail, she was spotted the next day in the same leg-baring outfit to retrieve her BMW from an impound lot, according to TMZ. Look on the bright side, Bynes: The “I’m not drunk.

I’m just kinda over it and bored” face you’re trying to work in your booking photo is some of the best acting work you’ve done in years.

After 11 years of marriage, Brian and Kathryn Quinn renewed their wedding vows. DEANNA FENECH/ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Walk down the aisle faithfully (again) Vow renewal. Saying, ‘I do’ a second (or third) time reminds couples of how far they have come

“In the last three to five years, they’ve become extremely popular.”

Kathryn Quinn of East Lansing, Mich., is approaching her 11-year anniversary. She and her husband recently renewed their vows on a trip to the Virgin Islands.

“I’m so glad we did it,” she said. “This was our first trip away from our children.

It was at a beautiful location.

The vow renewal was meaningful, and gave us a chance away from our daily life to really celebrate our time together and be grateful for our relationship.”

Recommitting to a relationship through vow renewals is becoming more popular, said Susan Southerland, president of Just Marry!, Inc. wedding planners in Orlando.

“In the last three to five years, they’ve become extremely popular.

We’ve always done one or two throughout the year, but all of a sudden it’s become a huge request.”

Winifred Brunston of Lancaster, Calif., lost her husband last year. She enjoys looking back to their 35th anniversary, in 2004, when they renewed their vows

State Building in New York.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are the most consistent; they renew their vows every year.

“You hear about it, and just like any trends in the wedding industry and in decor and fashion, celebrities certainly do influence us in that way,” says Winikka.

Southerland says she recently helped a couple who renew their vows every year.

“It’s always a surprise, and the husband plans it,” she said.

Whether you renew your vows annually or just once, in a small ceremony or as part of a vacation, the cost of saying “I do — again” can vary.

“You can do something that’s very simple, that’s just the husband and wife standing up with a photographer, and that can be less than $1,000. Or you can do something where you’ve invited a bunch of people. I’ve had people spend upwards of 50 or 60 thousand,” Southerland said.

And even a do-over bride can turn into a Bridezilla,

in the same small church where they got married.

Brunston feels marriage vows mean more over the years because “it lets the spouse know you still love them enough to marry them again.”

Anja Winikka, editor of the wedding TheKnot.com, believes one reason for the spike of interest in vow renewals is that some celebrity couples have done it.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott filmed their vow renewal for their reality TV show. Holly Robinson Peete tweeted photos after she and former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete recently celebrated their 17-year anniversary by renewing their vows on top of the Empire

she says. “That still is personality-driven, which kind of makes me chuckle,” she said. “I’m thinking, ‘Wow, you’ve known this guy for a long time. What’s there to be nervous about?’ Others are more laid-back. But you still have some very nervous brides.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

While I’m proud to be a mommy blogger, I recently found myself in a position where I actually thought, “I think I may have to stop writing about motherhood.” This was thanks to Google. Or rather, thanks to my daughter, who recently learned what Google search is and how to use it.

It started when, inspired by her future stepsisters who told her dolls cannot talk, she Google searched “Are stuffed animals real?”

One of the things that came up was a post I had written about how my daughter freaked out when she took Ellie (her stuffed animal) into a pool and poor Ellie drowned. (Of course I gave Ellie mouth-tomouth and she was fine.)

She read the piece.

Then: Tears. Lots and lots of tears. “Why did you write that?” my daughter asked, crying, as the truth sunk in. My heart broke.

No matter how open and close I am with my daughter, I just know I’ll have a lot of explaining to do one day thanks to all my writing about her. I’m trying to look at the positives, and there is only one thing I can come up with. I’ve never had a sex tape leaked. And I never plan to film a sex tape. And, I suppose, I’m glad she can…read?

That glass of water might cost more than you think

Reducing consumption

Hansen says the bigger a nation’s economy, the more energy is consumed pumping water. He also says Europe is a decade ahead of North America in addressing it.

• “Consumers can save on their utility bills, the local municipalities ... can reduce their resource consumption, and we make good business out of this,” he says.

Water pumps. Old, inefficient technology hurts the environment and wastes money ben knight

life@metronews.ca

Water is heavy. And it wants to move in one direction: down.

Human civilization needs water to go up — to the top floors of houses, office blocks, schools, apartment buildings and skyscrapers.

That takes an enormous amount of energy. Studies show about 18.5 per cent of all electrical power is expended moving water — and much of it is being wasted.

So says Jes Munk Hansen, North American president of Grundfos, the world’s largest producer of water pumps.

“If you go into a hotel or school or bank and look at their mechanical room, you will see electric pumps that

are typically quite old — technology from the ’50s and sometimes earlier,” he says.

“These pumps are not only inefficient by themselves, they basically run all the time because they don’t have intelligence to tell them when to run.

It’s as silly as leaving your car engine running all night.”

Hansen says this is a problem that actually feeds on itself. We need energy to move water, and water is essential

to producing energy.

“What makes our pumps special is that the motors have added software and electronics.

(We make) intelligent pumps that only consume the energy they absolutely need to.”

The potential savings are staggering. “If the starting point is that almost 20 per cent of all electricity is consumed by water pumps, imagine if we can take out ... a quarter of that,” says Hansen.

Down at your desk.

Study finds workers who feel obligated to stay with their company more likely to experience stress.

Whether you feel a sense of obligation about your work or are staying on the job because you don’t see an alternative, new research suggests the end result for employees could be the same: burnout.

According to Montreal researchers, the decision to stick with your company — whether by choice or because of slim pickings in the job market — can lead to emotional exhaustion, a chronic state of physical and mental depletion resulting from continuous stress and excessive job demands.

The study was conducted

by Concordia University, Uni-

Researchers also observed that individuals with high self-esteem are most affected by a perceived lack of employment alternatives.

• The result is possibly because that perception is inconsistent with their self-view as important and competent people.

versite de Montreal and HEC Montreal. The findings were published in the journal Human Relations.

Concordia assistant professor and study co-author Alexandra Panaccio and her colleagues surveyed 260 workers from various industries, including information technology, health services, engineering and architecture.

Among participants — aged 34 on average — 33

per cent held managerial positions, while 50 per cent worked in the public sector.

The study found that people who stay in their organizations because they feel an obligation toward their employer are more likely to experience burnout.

A similar effect can also be seen among workers who stay the course because they don’t see alternatives for employment outside their current organizations.

Researchers also measured various types of organizational commitments, like whether employees identified with a company’s goals and values and whether they felt an obligation to stay.

“It may be that, in the absence of an emotional bond with the organization, commitment based on obligation is experienced as a kind of indebtedness — a loss of autonomy that is emotionally draining over time,” said Panaccio in a release.

A Canadian story that is helping change the world A hunger to help. A small charity event created by Calgary youth has become a global phenomenon A In February 1971, 17-yearold Ruth Roberts and 14 friends staged a “starvein” at a church in Calgary to draw attention to the plight of African children suffering during a continent-wide famine.

“We chose to stop eating for a day-and-a-half so we could understand, even in a small way, what those children were experiencing,” recalls Roberts.

The group raised $600 for World Vision and created a small splash when a local TV station interviewed Roberts. The annual event caught on and soon youth groups and schools were participating across Canada. In the early 1980s, with World Vision’s support, the

Battling Blue Jays come up just short of sweeping

SPORTS Quoted

“At times, it seems magnified when it’s the beginning of the year. We’ve all been through three-game losing streaks. This is a resilient club.

We’ll be fine.”

New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi after his team was swept by the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees and Boston Red Sox are both 0-3 — the first time that’s happened since 1966, according to STATS LLC.

On the web

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers kick off the NHL playoffs on Wednesday and the animosity between the long-time rivals has only gone up over the past week. The war of words continued Sunday and Flyers forward Scott Hartnell says he expects a “bloodbath” when the series gets underway. Scan the code for the story.

Bubba brilliant with Masters on the line Bubba Watson celebrates his win on the second playoff hole on Sunday in Augusta, Ga. ANDREW REDINGTON/GETTY IMAGES

Golf. Watson makes Quoted remarkable shot from trees on playoff hole to “He hit an unbelievable shot there.... This is not one I felt like I played badly. Great stuff to him. He deserves it.” secure green jacket Louis Oosthuizen after losing in a final-round playoff to Bubba Watson at the Masters.

Bubba Watson started the day by watching the rarest shot in golf. He ended another thrill-aminute Sunday at Augusta National with a signature shot of his own to win the Masters.

So deep in the trees right of the 10th fairway that he couldn’t even see the green, Watson hooked a wedge off the pine needles from 155 yards to about 10 feet from the hole.

That set up a par, good enough to beat Louis Oosthuizen on the second playoff hole.

“If I’ve got a swing, I’ve got a shot,” Watson said.

It was Oosthuizen who set the tone for this wild day with a double eagle — only the fourth in Masters history — on the par5 second hole when his 4-iron from 253 yards landed on the front of the green and rolled

some 90 feet into the hole for a two.

“Somehow it fell in my hands today,” said Watson, who closed with a 68. “It’s amazing.

It’s a blur, the last nine holes I don’t remember anything.

Somehow I guess I cried all my tears out.”

He was blubbering hard on the 10th green, shoulders heaving, for so many reasons. Just

two weeks ago, he and his wife adopted a baby boy, Caleb. The first person on the green was his mother — his father died right after the Ryder Cup in 2010. And suddenly, the powerful lefty with a million shots in the bag was a major champion.

“I never got this far in my dreams,” Watson said in Butler cabin, where defending champion Charl Schwartzel helped him into the green jacket.

Former British Open champion Oosthuizen was trying to join Gene Sarazen in the 1935 Masters as the only major champions to win with a double eagle in the final round.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s hard to interpret whether winning two out of three on the road in the opening series versus the Indians is a sign of good things to come for the Blue Jays because of the great work of the bullpen, or is a sign they may struggle offensively because of their early innings scoring woes.

After mounting another late-inning rally, this one falling just short in the ninth inning of Sunday’s 4-3 loss, will this be the Jays team that scored 14 of their 17 runs from the seventh inning on while pulling out two dramatic wins in extra innings, or is it the team that was shut down by the Tribe’s starting pitchers, managing three earned runs and only eight hits in 22 innings, combined?

The Jays were tenacious and fortunate.

“In some ways, yeah,” Jays manager John Farrell agreed. “We ran up against some very good starting pitching in this series.

“They worked deep in the game, they worked quick, they put the ball on the ground, they got key strikeouts in some spots, but setting aside falling behind early in the game, this is a team that plays right to the last out, which is very consistent with what we did a year ago.”

The Jays battled back again late in the contest in their final two at-bats, with Jose Bautista popping up with the bases loaded to end the game.

Jays’ starter Joel Carreno allowed a pair of home runs to catcher Carlos Santana during his 97-pitch, six-inning outing. Then after the game he was informed he was being optioned back to AAA-Las Vegas.

The Jays return to the Rogers Centre for a sold-out home opener on Monday.

Thunder storm past Raps with third-quarter surge NBA. Oklahoma City start 24-0 run in third to put Toronto away Kevin Durant scored 23 points and Oklahoma City had a 24-0 run bridging the third and fourth quarters en route to a 91-75 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night, snapping the Thunderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-high threegame losing streak.

James Harden scored 17 points and Russell Westbrook had 15 points, six assists and six rebounds for Oklahoma City, which remained percentage points behind San Antonio for first place in the Western Conference.

The Thunder never trailed but the game was close for three quarters. Toronto was down 58-55 with 6:05 left in the third quarter, but the Raptors didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score again in the period. Oklahoma City then scored the last 12 points of the third quarter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Daequan Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-pointer stretching the advantage to 70-55 in the final seconds of the period â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the first

12 of the fourth to take a 27-point lead.

Jose Calderon led Toronto with 19 points on eight-of-12 shooting and DeMar DeRozan added 16, going six for 22 from the field. The Raptors finished shooting 37 per cent.

Toronto had swept the Thunder last season but Oklahoma City seized control early Sunday in the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only meeting this season.

Nick Collisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17-foot jumper put Oklahoma City up 37-24 with 7:54 left in the first half.

Toronto cut that gap to 50-43 by halftime and the Raptors continued hanging around, pulling to 58-55 on a three by Alan Anderson midway through the third quarter. the canadian press

Hockey. Canadian women bounce back in Game 2 Canada’s performance was uneven, but their 3-2 win over Finland was important psychologically at the women’s world hockey championship Sunday.

Less than 24 hours earlier, Canada took their worst beating ever from the U.S. in a 9-2 loss to open the tournament.

Montreal’s Caroline Ouellette, defenceman Laura Fortino of Hamilton and Gillian Apps of Unionville scored for Canada in Vermont.

Canada outshot the Finns 43-15. Goalie Noora Raty gave Finland a chance at an upset, making 40 saves even though AHL

Leafs can expect a more demanding Carlyle this fall

“We just had a really, really bad day.... It was important for us to move on quickly.”

NHL. Head coach says players have only seen ‘tip of the iceberg’ of his expectations

Canadian assistant captain Caroline Ouellette on bouncing back from a 9-2 loss to the U.S.

she’s not completely healthy.

Raty backstopped Minnesota to an NCAA women’s championship last month and was injured in the Golden Gophers post-game celebration.

Armed with a ticket in the draft lottery, the Toronto Maple Leafs can expect plenty of changes as they move forward from the wreckage of another season.

Not only will general manager Brian Burke spend the summer tinkering with his roster, but coach Randy Carlyle has pledged to return with a sharper edge. His 36-day stint to finish the year was largely spent trying to rebuild the confidence of a fragile group and players should expect to see much more of his demanding side in the fall.

The Marlies topped the Hamilton Bulldogs 3-1 on Sunday and sit tied with Oklahoma City at 95 points, but the Barons have a game in hand. the canadian press

“It’s definitely frustrating.

Nobody’s really breaking us down, it’s all mistakes we’re making.”

Toronto FC defender Logan Emory after Saturday’s 2-1 loss to the Montreal Impact. The Impact’s first MLS win dropped Toronto to 0-4-0 on the season.

“That’s the way I’ve been taught to approach the game,” Carlyle said after Saturday’s season-ending 4-1 loss in Montreal.

“And if there’s things within the game that you feel that are necessary to be pushed, then the push will come.”

Toronto is the only NHL team to miss the post-season every year since the lockout.

The pressure to end that miserable run will be immense next season, when Carlyle plans to start cracking the whip. Known for holding long practice sessions, he’s going to demand more intensity and effort from everyone than he saw this year.

“There’s going to be an understanding that what has transpired is only the tip of the iceberg on our expectations,” said Carlyle.

The Leafs went 6-9-3 after Carlyle replaced Ron Wilson on March 2. He tried to implement a more defensive system and spoke of giving something back to the passionate fans who have suffered through seven consecutive seasons outside of the playoffs. the canadian press
