Mandatory abuse education urged Youth safety. Ex-NHLer Sheldon Kennedy says training should be regular part of curriculum ‘like math, English, social studies’ Sheldon Kennedy, a former NHL player and renowned advocate for victims of sexual abuse, called on federal and provincial leaders Thursday to make abuse education mandatory in schools. Speaking in Vancouver at the National Conference on Keeping Kids Safe and Connected, Kennedy said piece-

meal presentations by outside agencies lack the consistency and frequency needed to keep pace with the dangers youth face today. “It needs to be taught like math, English, social studies, and it’s not,” he said. “I think it’s got to be taught once a year for a semester, like normal curriculum would be taught. We need to be able to talk about all the types of abuse: Physical, sexual, emotional, bullying, harassment, cyber-bullying — what the effects are of that, and where you can go for help.” Kennedy entered the national spotlight after coming forward with another victim about suffering sexual abuse

Turpel-Lafond said the B.C. government’s much-touted ERASE Bullying program, announced last summer, was a good start, but it doesn’t go far enough in providing consistent, ongoing training for students and engaging them.

at the hands of junior hockey coach Graham James for five years. James pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three-and-ahalf years in prison. After co-founding the Respect Group, Kennedy successfully lobbied for mandatory

abuse education for all hockey coaches in Canada, as well as for all parents of children in hockey in some provinces. He said he was down in the U.S. for a conference about child exploitation about a month ago when he learned about Erin’s Law, a lobbying initiative launched by Erin Merryn, another survivor of childhood sexual abuse. The law, which so far has been passed in six states and is in the process of being introduced in 12 others, mandates that schools teach sexual-abuse awareness and prevention from kindergarten and up. As Kennedy made an impassioned case for similar legislation in Canada Thursday, a

hotel ballroom full of childsafety experts erupted in applause and Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond nodded in agreement. “It’s been a huge priority for me from Day 1,” she told Metro afterward, explaining that the equivalent of Erin’s Law could be achieved through legislative changes to the B.C. School Act. “In B.C. we need a collaboration with the minister of education, we need the minister of children and families, we need the premier to step up and actually do it, not say, ‘I leave it to the discretion of trustees.’ “We can be the leaders and we can co-create it with young people.” KATE WEBB/METRO

Neighbours say they can’t stand smell of legal grow op Medical marijuana. District council gives owners 30 days to stop the stink or get out CARA MCKENNA The Canadian Press exclusively for Metro

A legal medical marijuana grow operation in Maple Ridge is raising a stink among business owners in the same building who say they can’t take the

constant, overpowering smell of pot. District council is giving the owner of two units in an industrial building where the marijuana grow op is located 30 days to find a way to stop the smell or else the operation will be shut down. But those in the other units in the building say they can’t handle it anymore because the noxious aroma, which seeps through interior ducting and fixtures, is harming their business and their health.

CanoeKayak BC, a business that has an office next door to the grow op, has given notice to move out of the building after months of putting up with the pungent, skunky odour. M.J. Abbott, who works with the company, said the smell has made office hours unpredictable because it gives her splitting headaches that often force her to close the office early. “It’s a bit embarrassing,” she said. “We’re supposed to be promoting healthy living

and lifestyles and we have people coming by the office to drop things off or pick things up and it’s hardly a healthy living environment.” She said the smell is so pungent that it’s even easy to detect outside the building. “Being in an environment where people are trying to work, it’s not the right place to be growing this stuff.” Lorri McAuley from SloPitch National Softball Inc., another business in the building, wrote a Sept 2012 letter

to council that called the odiferous operation a “recurring problem.” “We have clothing that is beginning to take on the odour. Clients do not want to enter the premises due to the smell.... I am unable to work in these conditions as the smell makes me sick,” she wrote. Maple Ridge councillor Cheryl Ashlie said the district has been dealing with problems stemming from the medical grow op since last summer and everyone is fed up.

Re ........................ really? Plus-size men with a taste for lace might have been excited — perhaps even titillated — to see this sign pop up at a storefront at Hastings Street and Abbott in the last week. But rumour has it that it’s actually a new location of The Noodle Box. The owners, who have a saucy sense of humour, tell Metro there may be more hijinks in the works, so watch this space.

Fail. No love after teen steals parents’ car to meet girl An Abbotsford teenager’s secret rendezvous ended with a $759 ticket — and the tryst wasn’t even worth it. The 15-year-old stole his parents’ car to see a girl he met on a school trip and was racing home at 175 km/h to return the vehicle before anyone noticed it missing early Saturday morning. But his “extreme” speed caught the RCMP’s attention as he drove westbound near Bradner Road in Abbotsford, netting him tickets for excessive speed ($483) and driving Provincial election

Surrey. Police mull releasing gangsters’ names to public after murder Lower Mainland law enforcement squads are so fed up with gang murders that they want to see if they can legally release gangsters’ names to the public as a warning and a deterrent. The comment came at a Thursday news conference regarding another “brazen” daylight murder, where Craig Widdifield, 28, was shot dead near the very busy Morgan Crossing Shopping Centre in South Surrey on Wednesday evening. Widdifield was known to police, who believe the killing was targeted and gang associated. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia believes releasing known gangsters’ names to the public — regardless if they are wanted for a crime — would be in the interest of public safety and could act as a deterrent for criminals to operate in the area, spokesman Sgt. Lindsey Houghton told Metro. But the CFSEU must first discuss if this is legally possible with police agencies, the government, the ministry of justice and the pri-

Trial. Ferry officer accused of concocting evidence about sinking of B.C. ferry Karl Lilgert was either having sex or a heated argument with his former lover on the bridge of a B.C. ferry the night it hit an island and sank, the prosecution alleged at the man’s criminal negligence causing death trial. During the final day of testimony — which has spanned three months and involved numerous witnesses, experts, calculations and maps — Crown lawyer Michel Huot finally delivered the accusation the court had been waiting to hear. Huot accused Lilgert of fabricating his evidence, saying he was distracted from his navigation duties by his former lover — the only other person on the bridge when the Queen of the North crashed, setting off an evacuation where it’s believed two passengers were left behind. But Lilgert insisted under repeated questioning that

Her historic election as independent MLA for Delta South in 2009 broke a decades long trend that saw only partyaffiliated candidates make it to Victoria. Now seeking re-election, Vicki Huntington hopes her little corner in the legislature gets a bit more crowded as several high-profile independents look to follow her lead and advocate

for politics without a party line. “I have always said an independent has the luxury of being their constituents’ voice in the riding,” said Huntington. “Liberal and NDP MLAs can’t always say they’re speaking on behalf of their constituents. Unfortunately, that’s the way democracy is going.” Huntington likened the last four years in Victoria as that of a lobbyist, endlessly trying to attract fellow MLAs to issues that concern her riding. It’s a tough grind, but there are perks. “You have the ability to start asking questions and speaking up in the legislature,” she said. “So as an independent, you have more of a voice than a backbencher.” On Tuesday, Huntington held an #indies4bc Twitter town hall with fellow independent candidates Bob

Simpson (Cariboo North), John van Dongen (Abbotsford South) and Arthur Hadland (Peace River North). All four hopefuls are pushing legislature reform they believe will dampen the influence parties have over their elected representatives. Huntington wants to see bills go to bipartisan committees for in-depth review, much like the system currently used federally. “I think you have to have a good discussion about that,” she said. “We need reform.” The Delta South MLA says her last win, over star Liberal candidate Wally Oppal, was fuelled by public anger. Residents felt they had no say as the government pushed forward with the Delta-port expansion and running transmission lines through neighbourhoods, so they turned to

Huntington — a former civic politician in Delta. NDP voters also strategically backed Huntington’s bid to wrestle the riding from Liberal hands. That support may be unlikely with the NDP well ahead in the polls and a three-way race developing between Huntington, Liberal candidate Bruce McDonald and NDP challenger Nic Slater. “It’s a different kind of campaign,” she said. “(McDonald and Slater) are both great guys and we’re having a good fight.” Whatever the outcome in Delta, Huntington senses some sweeping changes coming May 14. “This election, there is a great deal more frustration with the government as a whole,” she said. “Voters are at the tipping point, it may be time to hit the refresh button.”

Realtor faces lawsuit by former client Most real estate agents negotiate a lower price for their clients. But West Vancouver agent Roger Jung is being sued by a former client who claims the agent negotiated a higher price in order to earn a commission from the property owner. West Vancouver businessman Ghassan Abduljawad, in a lawsuit filed this week in B.C. Supreme Court, claims Jung breached his duty of care and loyalty to the client. He claims he came to Can-

ada as a foreign investor, was seeking a real estate investment and relied on Jung’s expertise in the market to select a location for Abduljawad’s company, Tradewinds Marketing. The legal action claims Jung said he had special knowledge about a property at 51 Lonsdale in North Vancouver, near Lonsdale Quay. Abduljawad says the asking price was $30 per square foot, but Jung negotiated a price of $40 per square foot, increasing to $48 per square foot in the

seventh year of the lease. The lease also made Abduljawad liable for exterior repairs of the property, which was favorable to the landlord

but unfavorable to Tradewinds, the lawsuit claims. “Jung failed to disclose that he would be receiving a commission from the owner of the premises,” the lawsuit claims. “Abduljawad did not have any understanding of fair market price with respect to purchasing of real estate or renting,” it adds. Jung said in an interview Thursday that the allegations made by Abduljawad are “totally artificial.” NEAL HALL/ The Canadian Press Exclusively For Metro

Tories promote tougher criminal justice agenda The complexity of including the perspective of victims in Canada’s criminal-justice system was encapsulated Thursday in a single, 24-minute news conference on Parliament Hill. “It’s taken years for victims to try to get the message out that we are not these angry, vengeful people,” said Sharon Rosenfeldt, whose 16-year-old son Daryn was one of the victims of serial killer Clifford Olsen in 1981. Rosenfeldt was on hand as the Conservative government announced it would back a private member’s bill designed to keep some killers behind bars for up to 40 years before be-

Could you live on $1.75 a day and eat nutritiously? Hundreds of Canadians are going to join thousands around the world next week in a challenge called Live Below the Line, created by the Global Poverty Project to raise awareness of poverty. The $1.75 figure is the Canadian equivalent of the extreme poverty line as defined by the World Bank. Some 1.4 billion people live on that amount for all their needs, not just food and drink. Lost Girl star Zoie Palmer and Aaron Abrams from the TV series Hannibal are among those in Canada lending their voices to the challenge. In the U.S., Oscar winner Ben Affleck is planning to take the challenge to raise awareness. From next Monday to Friday, participants are asked to spend no more than $8.75 total for all meals and drinks. They are not supposed to eat food they have on hand unless that cost is factored in. They can drink tap water. They’re asked not to accept donated items from friends or family, though monetary

donations are encouraged to help participants meet their fundraising goals. “For a lot of people, $1.75 a day is less than they spend on their morning coffee, so it is a step outside of most people’s comfort zone,” said Erin Deviney, Live Below the Line campaign manager in Canada. Live Below the Line in Canada has partnered with four charities — Cuso Inter-

Firefighter Robert Gray paused for a moment and looked down at the small fire truck in his hand, a crowd of nearly 100 people watching silently. “Up until the last year and a half I would never have recommended this job to anyone,” Gray said. “But in the last 15 months or so, I do enjoy coming to work. It’s changed.” On Thursday morning, the human rights complaint against Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) and its fire service around racism in the workforce came to an end as members of the Halifax Association of Black Firefighters (HABFF), HRM and the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission gathered to hear an official apology, and present a plan to end discrimination. “As an employer, we should have done more to prepare the work environment to be inclusive and protect you as employees and as people,” said HRM fire chief Doug Trussler. The complaint was filed by a group of black firefighters back in 2007, detailing several instances of racism since 2002.

Most people living in extreme poverty are in sub-Saharan Africa, southeast Asia and Latin America. “We’re asking people to live on $1.75 a day for food and for drink, but if you were really living in extreme poverty that

$1.75 a day would absolutely have to stretch for every single need in your life,” said Deviney. Several Canadian culinary experts have pitched in with recipes that cost 50 to 65 cents to prepare. Celebrity chef and Food Network Canada host Roger Mooking said he’s participating because he’s been in the situation of surviving on a minuscule food budget. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Suspect’s praying kept neighbour awake An ex-neighbour recalls several confrontations with one of the men charged in an alleged terror plot because his prayers would keep him awake at all hours of the night.

Chiheb Esseghaier’s former next-door neighbour says he knocked on Esseghaier’s door several times at about 3 a.m. to ask him to stop making so much noise. Michel, who declined to give his family name, said he told Esseghaier to feel free to continue his praying as long as he did so quietly. the canadian press

‘New York City was next on their list of targets’: Mayor Boston terror investigation. Surviving suspect says he and his brother planned to attack Times Square The Boston Marathon bombers were headed for Times Square to blow up the rest of their explosives, authorities said on Thursday, in what they portrayed as a chilling, spur-of-themoment scheme that fell apart when the brothers realized the car they had hijacked was low on gas. “New York City was next on their list of targets,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators from his hospital bed that he and his older brother decided on the spot last Thursday night to drive to New York and launch an attack. In their stolen SUV they

had five pipe bombs and a pressure-cooker explosive like the ones that blew up at the marathon, Kelly said. But when the brothers stopped at a gas station, the carjacking victim they were holding hostage escaped and called police, Kelly said. Later that night, police intercepted the brothers in a blazing gunbattle that left 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead. “We don’t know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists had they arrived here from Boston,” the mayor said. “We’re just thankful that we didn’t have to find out that answer.” The news caused New Yorkers to shudder with the thought that the city may have narrowly escaped another terrorist attack, though whether the brothers could have made it to the city is an open question. They were two of the most-wanted men in the world, their faces splashed all over the Internet and TV in surveillance-camera images released by the FBI hours earlier.

Some animals follow a monkey-see, monkey-do social conformity in the quest for food. Science/the associated press

Peer pressure in animal world, too Study. Monkeys copy each other in feeding habits; whales copy more successful feeders; conformity rules You don’t have to be a teenager to want to fit in at the school lunchroom. Some wild animals seem to follow similar monkey-see, monkeydo behaviour to follow the crowd and find the best eats, new research finds. South African monkeys switched foods purely because of peer pressure and humpback whales off the coast of New England copied a new way to round up a fish meal, according to two studies in Thursday’s journal Science. “We’re not as unique as we would like to think,” said Colorado

Well-groomed shoplifter sought in United States Authorities in Colorado are looking for a well-groomed man suspected of stealing more than $2,600 worth of teeth-whitening strips,

monkey-study lead author Erica van de Waal, of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. “We can find many of the roots of our behaviours in animals.” For her study, 109 vervet monkeys living in groups in the wild were given a choice of food tinted pink or blue by the researchers. One colour for each group was tainted with aloe to give it a harmless yucky flavour. After a few meals, the food was no longer tainted, but the monkeys still wouldn’t eat the colour they figured was bad. But that changed when some of them tried to fit in with a new group of monkeys. Blue-food eaters instantly switch when they moved to an area full of pink-food eaters, even though they shunned pink food before. Pink eaters also changed when they moved to a bluefood area.

Digital programmers bet on 2 major series booted from ABC Taped to a wall at the entrance to the Connecticut Film Center in Stamford, Conn., is this greeting: “Welcome (back) to Pine Valley.” Pine Valley, of course, is the mythical setting of All My Children, a daytime drama that ran on ABC for nearly 41 years until it was snuffed in 2011. But now, in one of those plot twists so common in soap operas but so rare in the real world, All My Children has been raised from the dead. Was its cancellation just a bad dream, from which the show is now awakening? In any case, AMC will be back starting Monday with much of its august cast intact,

Bangladesh. Joe Fresh customers shocked at garment-factory tragedy

Whales do it

In the 27-year whale study, scientists began tracking an unusual feeding behaviour in 1980. Until then, whales usually fed by blowing bubbles underwater to corral small fish, which don’t seem to like to swim through bubbles.

As rescuers continued to pull corpses and survivors from the rubble of a collapsed garment factory in Bangladesh, some consumers in Canada were shocked to learn that items from their favourite brands were made there. The building collapsed Wednesday, killing at least 238 people. Canadian clothing line Joe Fresh was among the customers of the factories operating in the building. Natalie Erb, 24, shops at Joe Fresh at least once a week for everything from yoga clothes

• But in 1980, researchers saw one whale first smack the water loudly with its tail making a big noise and giant splash before blowing bubbles. • The number of whales doing that manoeuvre has climbed steadily, and is now at 37 per cent. This new trick coincided with a dramatic drop in the number of herring, which the whales like to eat.

to office wear, she said. The news out of Bangladesh has the loyal customer disturbed about her purchases. “To be honest, I had never really done much research into where Joe Fresh manufactures their clothing, but knowing what I do now, I’m hugely disappointed in the company,” said the Halifax woman. Joe Fresh parent company Loblaw released a statement saying some Joe Fresh items were made in the factory and offered its condolences to the victims and their families. The Canadian Press

• This resurrection could reverse the doomsday plot that has plagued soaps for decades as their viewership withered and their numbers sank (there are only four left on the broadcast networks; there were a dozen in 1991). It could also prove the TV medium failed soaps, not the other way around.

There’s no job protection for pot users, court rules The Colorado Court of Appeals has ruled that there is no employment protection for people who use marijuana. In a split decision issued on Thursday, the court said marijuana use is still barred by the U.S. government, even though state-licensed marijuana use has been approved by voters and is considered lawful. The ruling comes in a case filed by a quadriplegic man fired after he tested positive for marijuana, though there was no indication he used it on company property.

Investigators say the man, wearing a sweater, tie, slacks and a neatly groomed moustache and beard, apparently used a coat that he was carrying to conceal the stolen goods. Investigators say it appears he would buy a DVD before leaving the store as a possible cover. the associated press

RICHARD CROUSE AND MARK BRESLIN

Kevin Zegers, left, and Bill Paxton star in The Colony. HANDOUT

Life on The Colony certainly lacks lustre Standard sci-fi. A group of feral cannibals provide some excitement from an otherwise cardboardcutout script Richard: Mark, I thought The Colony made good use of the situation to build atmosphere and tension. The icy outside and claustrophobic interiors (it was shot at the decommissioned North American Aerospace Defense Command base in North Bay, Ont.) do the trick, and keep you uncomfortable throughout. Shadows and creepy sounds stand-in for elaborate special effects, but when the going gets bloody,

old school nasty action effects — like a bisected bad guy skull — are effective and cringe inducing. Were you hot or cold on it? Mark: Somewhere between tepid and lukewarm, Richard. Although there’s nothing wrong with this movie, there’s not much that is original or memorable. It’s a little bit zombie, a little bit aliens, a little bit haunted house. The atmosphere and tension are well done, but that isn’t enough. The real mystery is how they got Laurence Fishburne to appear in what feels like a superior direct-to-video release. RC: I hear you. On the downside The Colony has many of the standard plot devices used in sci-fi thrillers — who doesn’t

see the sacrifice of the metaphorical red shirt coming? — and the ultimate survivors just happen to be the good-looking ones who escape to Adam and Eve it up elsewhere. But it makes up for its deficiencies with some excellently feral cannibals and an ending that, while hopeful, is still bleaker and cooler than we might expect if this was a big Hollywood movie. MB: I didn’t find the ending bleak at all. What I did find bleak was casting Bill Paxton and giving him a one dimensional papier mâché role. Mind you, none of the characters were particularly vivid. RC: Bill Paxton has been in WAY worse movies than this. I kind of liked the simplicity

of the whole thing. Reminded me of an old school action movie that stereotypes as a kind of shorthand to let the audience know what to expect. It’s not the characters that are interesting — they’re the standard hero, anti-hero types — it’s their actions. This movie doesn’t reinvent the wheel by any means, but the journey the characters went on entertained me. Besides, any movie featuring feral cannibals is OK in my books. MB: Hey, I like a feral cannibal as much as the next guy; I mean, it’s not like I’m a vegan. I was modestly entertained by the movie but I thought it could have been better with a few more rewrites. I will say this, though: North Bay has never looked better.

SCENE

The movie takes place in a modern ice age. Survivors found refuge from the ice and snow far underground in places like Colony 7, a community run with an iron fist by former military man Briggs (Laurence Fishburne). The underground ecosystem is fragile at best. “It’s not the cold we need to worry about, it’s each other,” says Sam (Kevin Zegers). An uneasy peace holds until a routine call to Colony 5 goes unanswered. As Briggs and a rescue team truck across the blustery tundra to investigate, things at Colony 7 go all Lord of the Flies. Unfortunately it’s an even worse situation at Colony 5.

Don Cheadle. When it comes to press tours, he’s a real Iron Patriot Don Cheadle’s been on a pretty intense world tour for Iron Man 3, and it’s beginning to wear on him. “I’m beat, but you know. It’s the home stretch,” he offers with a shrug as we sit down to start our interview in Los Angeles. That home stretch, by the way, is nothing to sneeze at: “We leave Thursday for New York, Toronto, it just goes on,” he says. But when you’re promoting one of the biggest superhero franchises on the planet — playing James “Rhodey” Rhodes, who suits up as Iron Man’s government-sanctioned counterpart Iron Patriot — this kind of schedule is par for the course. With a movie this size, I guess it’s what you signed up for. Yeah, you forget that. It’s like having a baby for a woman, you know. If I could remember this every time I did a movie, I’d probably just quit. How was it different for you as an actor having Shane Black directing compared to

Jon Favreau? Well, having Shane be the writer of the piece, there’s a lot more of a shorthand, a lot quicker sort of availability to the writer when we’re going over the scenes and going through the scenes. There’s a lot of improv that happens, but the improv is in sort of a controlled playground, you know? There’s not a lot of improv that’s happening on camera. ned ehrbar, metro world news

After the huge success of the first two Iron Man movies, followed by the Avengers, were you even in the position to turn down this third instalment? I signed up for three movies, so I didn’t have the choice. But I wanted to do it. I promise. Did you have a say when it came to the evolution of your character? Working on this kind of project, you’re dealing with so many egos. A guy in a suit tells you, “This is the movie I want to make.” And you’re like, “Hang on a minute, what

are you going on about?!” Iron Man 3, is first and foremost director Shane Black’s movie. He wrote the script together with Drew Pearce, another super talented guy. They spoke to all those involved for two weeks and then they disappeared. They came back two weeks later with a script that was 100 times better than what we had originally discussed. It was a surprise. Normally, with this kind of movie, you read the script and you think, “F—, how am I going to film this trash?” It’s another kind of surprise. After Avengers, is it nice to go back to being the main character? We absolutely wanted to come back to something more “real.” I have to admit, I love arriving on set and seeing how huge it all is. Bombs exploding and all … Only, when I go out and watch a movie, I’m a bit of a snob. The most important thing is the relationship between the characters. In Iron Man 3, Tony has no armour and no Pepper (Potts, his assistant and love interest, played by Gwyneth Paltrow). He really has to fight.

The real-life tale of three Miami-based body builders (Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie) who abduct a prominent local businessman (Tony Shalhoub) in a plot to grab his wealth is so outlandish that director Michael Bay flashes up a graphic in the last half hour reminding us this is “STILL a true story.” Playing like an episode of CSI: Miami performed by the Three Stooges, this is a violent, funny movie featuring likeable actors playing unlikeable people. richard

Robert Redford does triple duty as actor, producer and director on the story of Jim Grant, an ex-member of a radical activist group, in hiding since a robbery resulted in the death of a security guard 30 years ago. When one of his former associates (Susan Sarandon) turns herself in, Grant goes on the lam, pursued by the FBI and a dogged reporter (Shia LaBeouf). An all-star cast (Nick Nolte, Terrence Howard and Julie Christie) fuels this political thriller. Trouble is, there aren’t many thrills. richard crouse

All the pretty lakeside country homes, big stars and cool clothes can’t save this family gathering comedy from instant oblivion. Flat humour leaning on fart, barf and orgasm jokes and painfully inauthentic dialogue is just the start. The actors are clearly giving their all, but they’re licked. Copping feels at dinner is about as funny as it gets. A blended family of one dimensional “types” dredges up its dirty secrets on the eve of the son’s wedding; this gives them license to act out.

Love it or despise it, Terrence Malick’s work has a shrewd signature. Following up The Tree of Life, the equally poetic To the Wonder stars Ben Affleck and Olga Kurylenko in disparate stages of love. But of course, like any Malick movie, narrative takes a back seat to sweeping scores, gorgeous shots of streams and fields and an abundance of elegiac voice-over. To the Wonder may not be wondrously sleek storytelling but it’s certainly worth consideration.

Justin Bieber

Do you beliebe he’s a stoner? Justin Bieber’s European tour hit another snag Wednesday night in Stockholm when police raided his tour bus, reportedly discovering a small amount of drugs and a stun gun, according to the Associated Press. A police officer working crowd control outside the bus noticed a suspicious smell and ordered the raid. The substance found aboard is said to be marijuana and has been sent to a lab for testing. Bieber had vacated

the bus half an hour prior to the raid to take the stage at the Globe Arena, and the bus was empty at the time of the search. “No one was cited or arrested,” a source says. “There were no violations.” Bieber himself doesn’t appear to be letting the news get to him. “Some of the rumours about me, where do people even get this stuff ?” he tweeted upon arrival in Finland Thursday morning. “Whatever. Back to the music.”

The closed captioning company that erroneously reported that the Boston Marathon bombing suspect still on the loose last week was named Zooey Deschanel has officially apologized to the New Girl actress, People. com writes. During Friday’s hunt for 19-yearold Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the closed captioning that appeared on DallasFort Worth’s Fox 4 read “He is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel.” Upon seeing the snafu for herself, Deschanel took to Twitter to write “Whoa! Epic closed captioning FAIL!” La Toya hears MJ’s toe-tapping La Toya Jackson swears that she can still hear her late brother Michael around

He may have found success playing a Washington fixer on the Netflix series House of Cards, but Kevin Spacey does not have any political aspirations of his own. “I’m a person who likes to set a goal and her house — tap dancing, specifically. “Michael used to do that every Sunday for two hours,” the former Celebrity Apprentice star told Good Day New York. “We go up there and no one’s up there — just tap dancing. And the dog barks at his room, the window, every single night at the same time … It’s weird!” Hmm. I don’t know if I trust La Toya’s hearing — after all, she must not have heard us when we warned her against more plastic surgery.

then achieve it. I like to get things done,” Spacey tells Capitol File magazine. “I would never walk into a profession where I’d (know) I was going to be frustrated for the rest of my life.”

Nod to spring LIQUID ASSETS

LIFE

Peter Rockwell @therealwineguy liquidassets@eastlink.ca

While the thermometers across the country may be telling a different story, spring has sprung in Canada. Just because you still have to wear your winter coat to let out the cat doesn’t mean you can’t embrace all that’s fresh and lively about the season. The bright flavours synonymous with a spring menu can easily be found in a glass. White grapes like riesling, Viognier and Gewürztraminer offer floral aromas and plush fruit expression, no matter where they’re grown. They also make ideal partners for casual dishes, especially this week’s mint-led recipe. Softer red grapes such as pinot noir, grenache and merlot make a perfect partner for mushrooms, especially if they come stuffed with a little spice. A happy middle ground is a rosé or blush wine. Though often accused of being the soda pop of the wine world, White Zinfandel’s status has risen, lately, thanks to the popularity of wines with a sweeter edge. Incredibly food-friendly, Beringer’s California Collection 2011 White Zinfandel ($9.95 to $12.49) is slightly drier than you might expect, with a thirst-quenching finish that shouts spring. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL PROVINCES.

NFL

Teams go big at beginning of draft NFL teams bought in bulk early in Thursday night’s draft. Unlike the last few glam-and-glitter years when bumper crops of quarterbacks reigned, this was pure brawn: More than 600 pounds at the outset with offensive tackles Eric Fisher of Central Michigan and Luke Joeckel of Texas A&M. The first seven picks were all linemen: Four on offence, three on defence. Fisher was selected at the top when the Kansas City Chiefs’ new regime, led by coach Andy Reid, chose the six-foot-seven, 306-pound offensive tackle. Joeckel followed, going to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ducks pluck away win from Canucks NHL. Vancouver falls short in its late rally, losing at home for first time in 10 games

Brad Staubitz’s second-period goal sent the Anaheim Ducks to a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night. Staubitz’s goal on a shot from right wing at 8:21 of the second proved to be the winner, as it gave the Ducks a 2-0 lead that held up after 40 minutes before a desperate Vancou-

The Winnipeg Jets saw their playoff hopes end Thursday night on two scoreboards they didn’t control, even before they bowed 4-2 to the Montreal Canadiens. Both the New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators moved out of reach with overtime wins that kept them firmly in the last playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. THE CANADIAN PRESS

home win streak at nine games as their record dropped to 2614-7. The Canucks finished with a 15-6-3 home mark. Matt Beleskey, also in the second period, and Andrew Cogliano, with a short-handed empty-netter in the final minute of the third, scored for the Ducks. Jason Garrison replied for the Canucks during a 5-on-3 power play late in the third period. The Ducks outshot the Canucks 30-29, but the margin was close only after Vancouver fired 20 at Jonas Hiller in the third period. NBA

Heat on the brink of sweeping Bucks out of playoffs Ray Allen scored 23 points and broke the NBA career playoff record for 3-pointers, and the Miami Heat used another of their patented runs to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 104-91 on Thursday night for a 3-0 lead in their first-round series. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Ducks converted one of three power-play attempts, while the Canucks were good on one of four. Anaheim had already clinched the Pacific Division title and the second playoff seed in the Western Conference, while the Canucks had locked down their fifth straight Northwest crown and the third seed behind Anaheim. So the game had the importance and look of an exhibition contest. Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo posted 28 saves in what might have been his last home start in Vancouver.

Aries

March 21 - April 20 You may be independent by nature but lately you have allowed other people to lead you in directions that are not right for you. It’s time to put a stop to it. It’s time to reassert your autonomy. Do it now.

Taurus

April 21 - May 21 Speak your mind without fear but be ready for the backlash. Some people are a bit touchy from yesterday’s eclipse, so it’s best to steer clear of certain topics. Unless you’re looking for a fight, of course.

Gemini

May 22 - June 21 The planets urge you to keep a low profile over the next 24 hours. Your emotional and physical batteries are depleted and you need plenty of rest to bring you back up to par.

Cancer

June 22 - July 23 Someone who is as different to you as is possible will inspire you to seek answers in a new direction. For quite some time now you have felt that something is lacking. Find out what it is.

Leo

July 24 - Aug. 23 Is someone in a position of power being nice to you because they want something that only you can provide? Or is their concern with your welfare genuine? It’s the former.

Virgo

Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 An opportunity is slipping away from you and you need to act fast. Most likely you have taken too long to make up your mind about it but you no longer have that luxury.

Libra

Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Keep telling yourself everyone is different and everyone has their own way of dealing with life. In the greater scheme of things everything, and everyone, has its place.

Scorpio

Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Yesterday’s eclipse stirred up emotions and it may be some time before you get back to normal. Remember that applies to other people as well, so don’t overreact if someone says something out of turn.

Sagittarius

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 If you don’t feel confident about taking on some new responsibility, don’t push it. The choice is yours to make and if certain people try to hurry you into making it, you should give it a miss.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Steer clear of issues that are likely to be contentious. Even if someone asks you in a friendly manner what you think of a certain situation, it may be best to give an answer that can be taken several ways.

Aquarius

Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 You may find it hard to force yourself to be enthusiastic about something you don’t much enjoy doing. But seeing as you will have to do it, you might as well make the effort.

Pisces

Feb. 20 - March 20 Don’t ignore information that makes you uneasy. You can pretend it does not exist, but you are delaying the inevitable. Deal with it now while you’re still in control. SALLY BROMPTON
