Three years after council passed measures designed to rein in spending on the cops-for-hire program, the number of lucrative moonlighting as-signments has soared.
Last year, 3,047 off-duty Toronto officers earned $26.1 million for performing 51,526 jobs ranging from guarding work sites to providing crowd control at Raptors games.
In 2009, Toronto police as-signed 3,700 officers to 40,919 paid duty requests, for which

S‘Racist’ but not illegal
An anti-immigration flyer that sparked outrage for singling out the Sikh community when it was distributed in Brampton last month is “racist and offen-sive” but does not warrant hate crimes charges, Peel Regional Police say.
“We understand the deep hurt and harm incidents such as this cause our community,” police said in a statement re-
leased Thursday in announcing no charges would be laid. After an investigation and consulta-tions with the Peel Crown At-torney’s Office, police said the contents of the flyer did not meet the legal threshold for hate crime charges.
The flyer is entitled “The Changing Face of Brampton” and shows a photograph of an all-white group with the cap-tion “From this” above a photo of a group of Sikhs, with the caption “To this.”
Brampton Sikh activist Gur-meet Singh said Immigration Watch, the group behind the flyer, had committed a hate crime and said other immi-grants would now come under their crosshairs.
“In my opinion, they should have been prohibited to use this flyer,” he said. “They are targeting the Sikh community at this time, but they will now be targeting other groups. They can be targeting anyone com-ing from anywhere. This is a
hate crime.”For its part, Immigration
Watch said it was surprised an investigation even took place.
“I never expected any char-ges to be laid in the first place. I thought they were so ridiculous from the beginning and meant to shut people up,” Dan Murray, a spokesperson and co-founder of the group, told Torstar News Service. “If anything should be going on, the real uproar should be over unnecessary immigra-tion … displacing thousands of Canadians from their jobs.”
The flyer drew criticism from a range of groups, includ-ing Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, who called the leaf-let “hateful” when it was first handed out to Brampton resi-dents. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Board decision reversed
Electronic dance music back at Exhibition PlaceThe dance party will con-tinue at Exhibition Place after council reversed a board decision to ban any future electronic music concerts at the city-owned venue. Councillors voted 31 to 4 to restore Exhibition Place’s ability to hold large-scale, one-off concerts in spaces like the Better Living Centre after the board of directors for Exhibition Place banned them in April, citing safety concerns.
“I think folks have realized it was a rash decision on the part of the (Exhibition) Place board, not grounded in fact,” said Coun. Mike Layton, who sits on the board and brought the motion to council. Those who voted against the original board item argued Zlatko Starkovski, the owner of Muzik nightclub who leases space within Exhib-ition grounds, was trying to stifle competition.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Chilly temps gone with the wind Kite surfers like this man sailed across the rippling waves at Ashbridges Bay on Thursday, thanks to a brisk east wind that promises to bring warmer weather to the city, beginning Friday. Highs in the low 20s are forecast for several days in a row, although there will be scattered showers between periods of sun and cloud. Many Torontonians have their fi ngers crossed for a warmer summer after the brutal winter, despite some forecasters’ prediction of a wetter, cooler July and August ahead.

Mayoral candidate John Tory wants to bring jobs to the people and move people to the jobs. That includes pushing for a new medical school at York University that would connect students with the modernized Humber River Regional Hospi-tal to create new opportunities for students in a technology-smart city, Tory said at his first major economic policy an-nouncement at the Economic Club of Canada on Thursday.
But Tory’s proposals — and plans for “first-class” transit which formed a key pillar in his new “One Toronto” plan — still come without specifics on how they will be achieved or funded.
That transit plan, including funding, was promised later this month.
“I’ve named the time when I’m going to do it,” Tory told reporters after his lunch-hour speech, adding he’d made sev-eral announcements already on transit priorities, trees and a code of conduct.
Tory, who is positioning himself as the “salesperson” the city needs in its mayor, maintained his support for a Scarborough subway and a downtown relief line, in that order. He would not directly speak to his position on other
transit projects already planned by Metrolinx, such as the Finch West and Sheppard East light rail.
He called the Scarborough subway — his first transit pri-ority — a “magnet” for jobs and said it must be built “right away.”
Tory also spoke about youth unemployment in Toronto, which he said ranks worse that all other economic regions in Ontario, at 20 per cent.
“I can and I will use my business experience and my network of people that I’ve had the privilege to get to know … to get more employers on board and to create more op-portunities for young people,” Tory said in his speech.
Those comments drew criti-cism online and from opposing candidates.
“He’s just going to make some phone calls and it’s go-ing to happen? What does he mean?” Olivia Chow said in an interview with Torstar on Thursday. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Flood. Bolts go missing, Ferrari left drippingA new city report says missing fasteners on a maintenance cover led to last summer’s dra-matic flooding of the Lower Simcoe Street underpass that destroyed a lawyer’s Ferrari.
Crews discovered after the flood that the four needed bolts were absent. The under-pass would have stayed dry if the cover had been sealed, said Toronto Water general manager Lou Di Gironimo.
Employment lawyer Howard Levitt was forced to abandon his 2010 Ferrari California in the overpass after the car was swamped. Photos of the stranded car became a defining image of the flood.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Horwath. NDP leader touts tax credit to help firms with new hiresNDP Leader Andrea Horwath says only her party can be trusted to create new jobs in Ontario.
She visited a Niagara Falls auto parts plant Thursday morning to tout a tax credit that would compensate em-ployers for bringing on new staff.
This is a goal she says the Liberals and Tories can’t be trusted to do.
The $500-million two-year plan would pay 10 per cent of a fresh employee’s yearly pay, to a maximum of $5,000 per worker and $100,000 per company.
Horwath says the plan would create 120,000 new “good-paying jobs.”
According to Horwath, her party would make sure the cash doesn’t go to low-skilled positions or compan-ies that end employment after the year is up.
She says funding for the program would be found by finding efficiencies in a gov-ernment spending review,
but couldn’t offer an example of where the money would come from.
The NDP brought up the tax credit proposal earlier this year. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Eye for an eye?
Stephen Harper has been si-lent on Wynne’s challenge to match her party’s promise of $1 billion to build a transpor-tation route to the mineral-rich Ring of Fire in northern Ontario, she said.
Wynne continues to take swipes at Stephen Harper
Only Ontario’s Liberals can stand up to Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper, who is ignoring the needs of the people in Can-ada’s most populous province, Premier Kathleen Wynne said Thursday.
Wynne took another swipe at Harper while campaigning for the June 12 election, re-peating her long-standing com-plaint that Ontario puts $11 billion more into federal coffers than it gets back. Speaking at an event organized by the Can-ada 2020 think-tank, the Lib-eral leader said that the prime
minister’s tone-deaf attitude is jeopardizing Ontario’s fragile economic recovery.
“This year Ontario is going to receive $641 million less in major transfers from the fed-eral government, and this is at a time when we can least afford the hit,” Wynne said.
Her jabs at Harper have be-come a common occurrence on the first leg of the campaign, but date back to her rallying cry during a March 22 party convention where she called his antipathy towards pension reform “offensive and inexplic-able.”
Her government proposed a mandatory made-in-Ontario pension plan after the federal Tories spurned their advan-ces to enhance the Canada Pension Plan, saying it would be harmful to increase con-tributions from workers and
employers until the economy gathers steam. Harper panned the proposal last week, saying people prefer tax breaks as a re-ward for saving for retirement, rather than having their taxes hiked. THE CANADIAN PRESS
One-two punch. Premier’s campaign includes a heavy dose of criticism for PM
More apprentices equals more jobs, says HudakOntario Progressive Con-servative Leader Tim Hudak took the first step Thursday to reveal how he plans to create one million jobs over eight years, saying he’d start with getting more young people into apprenticeships for the skilled trades.
Allowing more apprenti-ces on work sites so young people can get good-paying jobs as plumbers, welders or electricians and help ad-dress a labour shortage in the skilled trades makes good sense, he said.
“They have this old rule that dates back to the 1970s
that says for every single ap-prentice in many trades you have to have four or five journeymen, so they limit the number of opportun-ities,” Hudak told construc-tion workers at a new hous-ing project.
“Allow each journeyman to mentor and train an ap-prentice, one each, and that’ll help create 200,000 positions.”
The Tories say changing the apprenticeship ratios is an easy fix to a grow-ing labour shortage in the trades and a good way to start addressing the high unemployment rate among youth.
“Why would you restrict young people from getting good jobs in the trades?” asked Hudak.
“It won’t cost you a penny.
“One simple cabinet meeting, one stroke of the pen, and it’s done.”
Limiting the number of apprentices hurts young people, but benefits en-trenched unions that sup-port the Liberals by fund-ing campaign advertising attacking the Tories under
the banner of the Working Families Coalition, said Hu-dak.
“Special interests like the Working Families Co-alition want to artificially limit the number of people that get into skilled trades because it increases their bargaining power,” he said.
“I get that. I think it’s wrong.”
Premier Kathleen Wynne said “there’s absolutely no evidence” Hudak’s plan to change the apprentice ratios would create jobs, and warned he will cost the province jobs by slashing government spending and ending grants to corpora-tions.THE CANADIAN PRESS

If I’m elected...
A Conservative govern-ment would make trades training a community college course and would abolish the College of Trades set up by the Liber-als as a self-regulating body, which Hudak said amounts to little more than “a tax grab” to fund a “needless new bureau-cracy.”

This spring and summer, Queen St. E. will see streetcar track and
switch upgrades, as well as replacement of utilities, such as a watermain on Leslie St., in addition to construction of a connection track to the Leslie Barns, the TTC’s new streetcar maintenance and storage facility.
This work will require intersection closures at Leslie St., Victoria St. and Broad-view Ave. – the first two starting this weekend. A video was produced to help explain the work, the timing and the diversions to affected routes. Please go to our YouTube channel (youtube.com/officialTTCchannel) for more. This edition of Toronto
Moves provides diversion details, including a map of the affected areas.
Such work inevitably caus-es disruption for commuters and businesses affected by the closures. I am determined that we go the extra mile to mitigate these.
To address the concerns of local businesses, we have conducted an extensive communications campaign that includes the delivery of 35,000 leaflets to residents and businesses along Queen St. and into the neighbouring community outlining travel options while the work progresses. We are also reminding residents that businesses remain open and to please continue to patron-
ize shops and restaurants.A community office was
also established in Leslieville and, just last week, I attended a community meeting to answer questions from local businesses and to make sure we are doing all we can to be good neighbours.
Ultimately, this work will mean more reliable streetcar service as infrastructure is re-newed and speed restrictions removed. The new connec-tion track to Leslie Barns also brings the roll-out of our new, low-floor streetcar fleet a step closer to reality.
I would like to thank riders, residents and businesses for their patience while we com-plete this essential work over the next several months.
BEING GOOD NEIGHBOURS IS VITAL TO TTC’S WORK

‘People tried to stop it.’ Woman killed by bear at oilsands site wasn’t aloneA union official says a woman killed by a bear at one of Can-ada’s major oilsands sites was with several workers who tried to scare the animal away.
The 36-year-old Suncor em-ployee was an instrument tech-nician, who was doing electric-al work at a job site near Fort McMurray, Alta., when the bear attacked her Wednesday.
“It was ... seven people that were working in a group area and she was attacked by this bear out of that group and dragged off,” Scott Doherty, a spokesman for Unifor, told The
Canadian Press.“People tried to stop it and
do everything they could. Ob-viously they are fairly horri-fied at what they saw and wit-nessed.”
Doherty said the union does not believe the workers were carrying bear spray. He said they remained in the area until police and wildlife officers ar-rived.
Another union official said the woman’s co-workers blast-ed air horns to scare the bear away, but to no effect.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Tim’s says Doug, not mayor, spotted at Toronto location
Tim Hortons has “confirmed” it was Doug Ford — not the mayor — who visited a fran-chise location in the Junction on Tuesday morning, a spokes-person said on Thursday.
Michelle Robichaud, man-ager of public relations for the coffee chain, said employees at the west-end Tim Hortons reviewed video from security cameras and concluded it was Coun. Ford who attended the restaurant while Mayor Rob Ford was purportedly in rehab.
Tim Hortons is refusing to release images from its cameras to prove Rob Ford wasn’t there.
“It is, for sure, Doug,” said Robichaud. “That’s all I want to say right now — that it was reviewed internally and we can confirm it’s Doug.”
Rob Ford announced he was going to rehab last week to deal with an “alcohol problem,” and has reportedly made calls to a Toronto Sun columnist from a treatment facility.
Sixteen-year-old Cayla Clarkson, however, claims she saw the mayor outside the Tim Hortons near Dundas St. W. and Clendenan Ave. Tuesday around 9 a.m.
A Tim Hortons employee who would not share her name also told the Star the mayor came into the restaurant that morning and ordered coffee and a sandwich.
In the days since the mayor took a leave of absence and said he is going to rehab, there have been several claimed Ford sightings in disparate locations, including Hamilton, Richmond Hill and the Homewood Health Centre in Guelph.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Doug Ford said his brother is “nowhere near the GTA.” His exact location has not been disclosed. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Pits of dead moose and loss of wildlife habitat If you pull over on north-eastern B.C.’s Alaska High-way and drive a few hundred metres into the bush, you’ll smell it first. Then you’ll see flies buzzing over a deep pit. It is filled with decomposing moose carcasses.
These pits dot the high-way, said Carl Gitscheff of the B.C. Wildlife Federation — the final resting places of the large animals killed by the high traffic of trucks and transport trailers re-quired by the gas industry. He estimates that more than a dozen moose are
killed daily. While Gitscheff, a trap-
per and hunter in the re-gion, hasn’t noticed any mutations or internal health problems in the animals, the gas industry’s massive footprint has carved out crucial pieces of wildlife habitat.
They’re competing for land because good oil and gas country, he says, is also good wildlife country.
“When you have a geo-logical formation that makes coal and oil and gas, for whatever reason it’s also
good for wildlife.” Pipeline right of ways can
destroy wildlife connections between land and water, he said. He added that one solu-tion would be boring under-ground to build instead of digging the surface.
Exploration activity can destroy trees and scare away female animals who nest in them, leaving young marten and fisher to die.
“Companies should be obligated to mitigate this. Who’s going to push that? The public.” EMILY JACKSON/METRO IN VANCOUVER
Nielle Hawkwood began noti-cing that her hair was falling out about four years ago. She also began experiencing skin irritation — as did her hus-band, Howard — as well as nosebleeds.
Two years ago, she was diagnosed with alopecia, which causes significant hair loss.
“The dermatologist said something has affected my immune system,” said Nielle, during a visit in April to the couple’s 456-hectare cattle ranch nestled amongst the rolling brown hills north of Calgary. They have been there for 34 years and it’s been in Howard’s family since 1972.
Both Nielle and Howard believe their recent health problems are the result of an increase in fracking wells be-ing drilled in the area — 110 in the past four years and another 39 projected for this year. The closest is four kilo-metres from their ranch.
They assert that the hair loss, skin irritation and nosebleeds did not exist be-fore the rise of fracking in
the area.For its part, Lochend In-
dustry Producers Group (LIPG), which consists of four different oil and gas compan-ies active in the area, says there has been no water con-tamination and that the risk of water or air contamination to people living within 10 kilometres from a fracking well is “exceedingly” small.
The companies set surface casings — a concrete and steel barrier that line the well to prevent fracking fluid from entering the ground water — to 600 metres, double the required regulatory depths in the Lochend area.
As well, the group says, the productive fracking zone is approximately 2,200 metres below the ground, far below a typical water well that sits at around 45 metres deep.
But the health issues raised by the Hawkwoods could prove a cautionary tale for residents and industry in Northeast B.C., where a mas-sive expansion of shale gas fracking is underway.
“I think those are fair and legitimate questions that the public are asking,” said Geoff Morrison, the manager of B.C. operations for the Can-adian Association of Petrol-eum Producers, about health and environmental concerns.
“We’re trying to do an im-proved job of reassuring the public about our practices so they can come to reasonable conclusions about safety.
“Social licences have two components: One is doing the right thing and being regu-
lated in the proper way, and the other is communications. For us, in B.C. … we’ve been well-regulated and are doing the right thing.”
A recent study by the Council of Canadian Academ-ies found human health and well-being may be affected by the various environmental ef-fects resulting from shale gas development.
“Health impacts are not well understood and addi-tional research is required,” the report concluded.
Metro requested an inter-view with Alberta’s Ministry of Health about any health complaints near the Hawk-woods’ ranch and related to fracking, but a spokesperson was not made available.
The Hawkwoods, how-ever, aren’t only worried about their own health.
Last spring and summer, the Hawkwoods say 18 of their cows died, while seven others appeared thin and un-healthy, and did not calve.
A necropsy of one female bovine conducted last April — the document of the test-ing was viewed by two Metro reporters — noted the cause of death was undetermined, but the Hawkwoods believe water contamination was the
cause and fracking the cul-prit.
The sudden deaths of some of the Hawkwood’s cows not only has a financial impact — each cow is worth about $1,800 — but also to the reputation of his ranch.
LIPG points out that it receives very few concerns and most of those are fo-cused on increased traffic, dust and noise associated with increased activity. They say member companies take complaints very seriously and the majority of concerns are answered to the complain-ant’s satisfaction.
“There has been a very small group of residents who individually and collectively have expressed their oppos-ition to resource develop-ment and we continue to work with them to address their concerns,” said LIPG in an email.
However, with their grow-ing concern over health and environmental effects, the Hawkwoods have contem-plated moving away from their ranch, which has been in their family for five dec-ades.
“I’m a little bit upset about it. So where do I go? I love liv-ing in the area.”

Call for a moratorium

Future of fracking
‘We can do better’There’s a prevailing sense in the north that no matter what, companies will frack the land to get to the gas.
Regardless of where people fall on the spec-trum between welcoming economic growth and wanting to stop fracking for fear of side effects on health and the land, they all seem to believe one thing: If development is going to happen, it can
be done better.
On the relationship between companies and communities“Can we do better? Absolutely.”
— Geoff Morrison, man-ager of B.C. operations for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers
On where pipelines are placed and wildlife impact studies “We have science, we have technology, we can do a better job. There’s no
doubt about it, and it’s to the industry’s benefit to do a better job.”
— Carl Gitscheff of the B.C. Wildlife Federation
On B.C.’s striving to be a world leader in environ-mental practices “We can harvest the re-sources we have and leave a lighter footprint. We can do better. We have that opportunity here in British Columbia.”
— Fort St. John, B.C. mayor Lori Ackerman EMILY JACKSON/METRO IN VANCOUVER
Is the real cost of fracking our health?
There are mounting calls for British Columbia to join other provinces and ease its foot off the liquefied natural gas (LNG) pedal to better study the health and environmental im-pacts of fracking.
The Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) last week released a report concluding that there isn’t enough scien-tific study about the impacts of fracking to declare it safe.
The independent report specifically cited concerns about well integrity, emissions and the possibility of water contamination.
Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador have all had similar concerns and placed moratoriums on the practice.
But the B.C. government has refused to do the same.
“I don’t agree with [the CCA],” Rich Coleman, the min-ister responsible for LNG, told media. “[The report] does not give me any cause for concern because I know we already study this on a regular basis. We track it on a regular basis and we know what our stats are. I think we have it pretty much right.”
Lack of confidence
Not everyone shares the gov-ernment’s confidence.
The proposed TransCanada North Montney Mainline pro-ject in northeast B.C. would see a 301-kilometre pipeline carry natural gas through Halfway River First Nation territory.
“The elders look out their back window and that line will
be right there,” said Halfway River Chief Darlene Hunter. “It’s just like me coming into your backyard and ripping up your place and being OK with that.”
Striking a balance between economic development and health concerns has been a challenge for many First Na-tions, according to Prophet River Chief Lynette Tsakoza.
“Right now it’s a big con-cern,” Tsakoza said. “Every na-tion wants economic develop-ment, and at the same time we’re trying to fight for our territory, our environment and our water. Everything.”
Fears around fracking
Dr. Warren Bell, a family phys-ician in Salmon Arm, B.C. and founding member of the Can-adian Association of Physicians for the Environment, believes the fears around fracking are justified.
“There’s abundant evi-dence in the Eastern States where fracking has been go-ing on for some time. You’ve heard of a burning drinking water scenario, and that’s be-cause chemicals have come up far, far away from the well site simply because in this process of fracturing, you allow gases to escape. Methane plus the chemicals used in fracking, some of which are carcino-gens, are starting to appear in places they shouldn’t be.”
The province has commis-sioned its own human health assessment into oil and gas development in northeast B.C., which is currently underway by a company called Intrinsik Environmental Services.
The findings are expected to be handed over to the Min-istry of Health sometime this summer.
Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman, who wants to see increased air monitoring in her city, said the community welcomes the study.
“If there are issues, then necessity is the mother of all invention and let’s take a look at how we can correct that,” Ackerman said. “If we don’t have baseline [air quality] in-formation, then this is a way to get it, through this study.”
Critics, however, are con-cerned the findings may fall on deaf ears.
The NDP Opposition has accused the provincial gov-ernment of undermining the environment with regulation changes that allow for gas de-velopment on protected agri-cultural and park lands.
The Liberals also attempted to scrap the environmental assessment process for sweet natural gas plants in April.
But those plans were re-versed within hours after gov-ernment and industry reps were ejected from an LNG con-ference hosted by shocked and angry First Nations leaders in Fort Nelson.
Forced to apologizeEnvironment Minister Mary Polak was forced to apolo-gize for “failing to discuss the amendment with First Nations prior to its approval.”
West Coast Environmental Law Association lawyer Anna Johnston warned the steps amount to “a slide towards en-vironmental deregulation.”
That hasn’t stopped the government from trying to reassure the public that frack-ing — so integral to B.C.’s eco-nomic outlook — is safe.
“We in British Columbia do fracking better than anybody else in the world,” Premier Christy Clark told Metro after announcing an LNG trade mis-sion to Asia on April 30. “We learn from what we do here because, in 50 years of frack-ing, there hasn’t been a single reported case of water contam-ination in British Columbia. That’s a pretty good record.”WITH FILES FROM THANDI FLETCHER

Residents of a Nigerian town attacked by Boko Haram criti-cized security forces for fail-ing to protect them despite warnings that the Islamic mil-itants were nearby. At least 50 bodies have been recovered, many horribly burned, in the town.
The attack on Gamboru, in remote northeastern Nigeria near the border with Camer-oon, is part of the Islamic mil-itants’ campaign of terror that included the kidnapping of teenaged girls from a school, 276 of whom remain missing and believed held by Boko Haram.
The death toll from the Monday afternoon attack in Gamboru was initially reported by a senator to be as many as 300, but a security official said
it is more likely to be around 100. Some Gamboru residents said bodies were recovered from the debris of burned shops around the town’s main
market, which was the focus of the attack.
The bodies were found after the market reopened on Wed-nesday as health workers, vol-
unteers and traders searched for missing people, said Gam-boru resident Abuwar Masta.
Masta and other traders said that some villagers had
warned the security forces of an impending attack after in-surgents were seen camping in the bush near Gamboru. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oscar Pistorius is seated in court on Tuesday. MIKE HUTCHINGS/ASSOCIATED PRESS
A ballistics expert called Thursday to testify by Oscar Pistorius’s defence offered a different explanation to pros-ecutors for one of the wounds sustained by Reeva Steen-kamp when she was shot and killed by the world-famous athlete last year.
Wollie Wolmarans testi-fied his reconstructions of the Feb. 14, 2013 shooting showed that the pattern of wood splinter marks around a gunshot wound on Steen-kamp’s right arm indicated that the arm was between
six and 20 centimetres from a wood toilet door when it was hit by one of four hollow point bullets fired through the door by Pistorius.
Wolmarans’ opinion was being used by the defence to show that Steenkamp may have been reaching out with her arm to open the cubicle door when she was hit. That assertion is in contrast to prosecutors’ claims that the model was hiding in fear of an angry Pistorius during a heated nighttime argument.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A former U.S. Navy nuclear sys-tems administrator has been charged with trying to break into the Toronto Police Service computer system.
There was no immediate word on Thursday on whether Nicholas Knight, 27 of Virginia, had any success in his online at-
tack, as part of a hacking group called “Team Digi7al.”
Knight worked on an air-craft carrier in the nuclear re-actor department.
Also charged was Illinois community college student Daniel Krueger, who studied network administration.
The men also tried to hack into the computers of more than 30 other organizations, including the U.S. Navy, the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelli-gence Agency, the U.S. Depart-ment of Homeland Security, Los Alamos National Laboratory and the World Health Organiza-tion, according to a statement
issued this week from the U.S. Attorney’s office for the North-ern District of Oklahoma.
The Toronto Police Service and UBC were the only Can-adian targets.
Knight and Krueger have each been charged with con-spiring to steal identities, ob-struct justice and damage a protected computer.
The scheme was detected in June 2012 by the Naval Crim-inal Investigative Service, when it was alerted that someone had breached the Navy’s database, according to the Northern Dis-trict of Oklahoma’s Attorney’s Office. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Massachusetts prison of-ficials on Thursday made another push to overturn a court ruling that would force them to provide a taxpayer-funded sex-change operation to a murder con-vict with gender-identity disorder.
The inmate has been given a substantial amount of care, including female hormones, laser hair re-moval and psychotherapy, and doesn’t need the sur-gery, the Department of Cor-rections attorney Richard McFarland told the 1st U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston.
“The clinician didn’t say you must have this surgery, but that if you want it, you can get it,” McFarland said Thursday. Only five per cent of people diagnosed with
the disorder actually under-go sex-assignment surgery, he added.
Michelle Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, has been in a heated legal battle to get the surgery, which she says is required to relieve the
emotional stress caused by the disorder. Kosilek is cur-rently serving a life sentence for killing spouse Cheryl Kosilek in 1990.
In 2012, a federal judge ruled that the department must give Kosilek the sur-gery.
In January, that decision was reaffirmed by a three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said it is a constitu-tional right to receive med-ically necessary treatment “even if that treatment strikes some as odd or un-orthodox.”
The prisons department appealed and won a rehear-ing before the full appeals court. It could take months to issue a decision.
If it loses its appeals, Mas-sachusetts would be the first state to fund sex-reassign-ment surgery for an inmate. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

‘Hate’ in the classroom. School board denounces Holocaust assignmentThe school board of a South-ern California district where students were told to write an essay on whether they believe the Holocaust really happened said at a packed public meeting Wednesday night that it was a “horribly inappropriate” assignment for which the board takes “full responsibility.”
Rialto Unified School Board president Joanne Gilbert read the remarks after a closed ses-sion that followed a heated public meeting where Jewish groups, tolerance organiza-tions and community leaders denounced the assignment.
The initial assignment given to eighth-graders was to do some research and write an essay explaining whether they believed the Holocaust was a real historic-al event or a political scheme to influence public emotion and gain. It was developed in December by a group of lan-guage arts teachers planning a unit on The Diary of Anne Frank.
The district had already withdrawn the assignment and called it an error.
But the school board went much further in its denuncia-tion Wednesday night, and promised broader action to prevent similar incidents, including sensitivity train-ing for eighth-graders at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.
State Senator Norma Tor-res, who represents the area and was one of several polit-ical officials in attendance, urged the board to make a strong statement.
“Hate has no place in Ri-alto,” Torres said. “Hate has no place in our classrooms.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In an obscure government office guarded by a man in a red T-shirt armed only with a stick, two photocopy machines churned out bal-lots Thursday for eastern Ukraine’s referendum on se-cession.
In apparent defiance of a call by Russian President Vladimir Putin to put off the vote, insurgents in eastern Ukraine insisted Thursday they will go ahead with this Sunday’s referendum.
“Putin is seeking a way out of the situation. We are grate-ful to him for this,” said Denis Pushilin, co-chairman of the Donetsk People’s Republic, as the pro-Russian rebels call themselves.
“But we are just a bullhorn for the people,” he declared. “We just voice what the people want.”
Ukraine has in recent weeks grown perilously polarized, with the west looking toward Europe and the east favouring closer ties with Russia. Thursday’s pronouncement was likely
to further inflame tensions between the interim govern-ment in Kyiv that took power amid chaos in February, and the armed insurgents, who have seized police stations and government buildings in more than a dozen cities in the east.
Support for the referen-dum is most pronounced
among eastern Ukraine’s proudly Russian-speaking working class. Rage against the central government that came to power after months of nationalist-tinged pro-tests is blended with despair at Ukraine’s dire economic straits and corruption. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Poll results
A strong majority of Ukrain-ians want their country to remain unified, a poll released Thursday shows.
The Sarfraz family pulled into a dark, deserted mall parking lot.
As sunrise approached, Ai-sha Sarfraz, 8, was joined by other girls in a growing line outside the Indigo bookstore at Yorkdale Mall in Toronto. Just after 7 a.m., Sarfraz got to go behind the black velvet curtain. The girls (with mothers, fath-ers and brothers in tow) rushed past the books and into the new pink-and-white American Girl store within the Indigo.
“It was fun,” said the fan. The morning ended with
another line at the register and a $941 receipt.
The price of the dolls, which start at $125, did not deter more than 5,000 people in Toronto and Vancouver from checking out Indigo CEO Heather Reis-man’s latest business gambit last weekend. While books be-come a harder sell, Canada’s only national bookstore chain is stocking everything from dolls to Poppin office supplies to toasted coconut marshmal-lows. For fiscal 2013, its con-solidated revenues slid 4.4 per cent to $892.5 million. Reisman is set to announce fiscal 2014 results on May 27.
They declined to comment for this story.
“They’re obviously work-ing out what they’re going to evolve to,” said Maureen Atkin-son, a retail analyst at J.C. Wil-liams Group. “Not everything they’re testing will be a hit.”
Back in 1995, U.S. book-
store giants Barnes & Noble and Borders Group planned to open superstores north of the border. Reisman was head of Cott Beverages, and was ap-proached to lead Borders’ bid. The plan was quashed, as it did not meet Canada’s ownership policies for foreign booksellers. Borders filed for bankruptcy in 2011. Barnes & Noble’s bid also failed and it is limping towards its 100th birthday in 2017.
Reisman, now 65, has prov-en to be remarkably resilient over the years. After the Bor-ders deal crumbled she opened her first Indigo Books, Music & More store in 1997 in Burling-ton, Ont. By 2001 Indigo and Chapters merged, effectively giving the tastemaker a mon-opoly on Canada’s book mar-
ket. Just like in the board game
Monopoly (which you can now buy at Indigo) the dice mostly rolled in Reisman’s favour. The superstore format was a hit with consumers and by the end of 2009 the savvy business-woman had 96 superstores and 151 small-format stores, accord-ing to Indigo’s financial reports.
But the game is changing. By the end of 2013, Indigo was down to 131 small stores. By the end of May it will have closed three superstores in Toronto this year, including the World’s Biggest Bookstore. When a 22,000-square-foot Chapters store closed in To-ronto in February, the founder pinned the closures partially on soaring rents. But that’s only
part of the tale. “If you are in the book busi-
ness you have to be online be-cause that’s where the custom-ers are,” said Atkinson.
Reisman has seen the writ-ing on the wall. At least for now, physical paperback books are still the No. 1 choice for readers, making up 58 per cent of sales in 2012, followed by hardcovers at 24 per cent, according to BookNet, a non-profit that collects data on the industry. But many of those books are now bought online.
Indigo launched chapters.indigo.ca in 2001. In 2002 Ama-zon.ca, the Canadian version of Amazon.com, came along. Amazon is now the world’s largest online retailer, with revenue of $74.5 billion US in
2013. Selling online cuts over-
head costs, but it is cut-throat. The “Heathers Kids Pick” The Day the Crayons Quit is $19 in Indigo stores, but $13.72 in the online store for Plum Rewards users — the same price as on Amazon.ca. Price-matching seems to be working. From Oct. to Dec. 2013, Indigo’s online sales surged 19.3 per cent to a record $41.5 million, said a re-lease. And then there’s ebooks.
Indigo launched the e-read-er Kobo to much fanfare in 2010. By the end of 2011 Kobo Inc. was sold for $315 million US. It’s looking like a smart move as a 2013 BookNet study found the appetite has already plateaued at about 15 per cent. A Pew Research Center report shows 32 per cent of ebook readers read them on their phones, while 78 per cent of tablet owners read them on those devices.
But the competition for ebooks remains stiff. The Day the Crayons Quit is $11.99 for the Kobo edition, while Ama-zon.ca’s Kindle version is $8.99.
The young Aisha is a bit old-fashioned. She still buys the real thing in person at Yorkdale’s Indigo. Her mother and little brother usually tag along. The store is trying hard to appeal to mothers too, of-fering everything from Godiva chocolates to a 50-per-cent off sale this week on five books for Mother’s Day. But Aisha’s mother, Sarah, can’t recall ever buying anything for herself.
“I’m not a reader, I’m a mov-ie person,” she said.
If Indigo is to make it to its 20-year anniversary and be-yond it will have to find a way to get all those moms, dads and brothers who lined up along-side the girls for the American Girl store to buy something too.

“We risk losing that as bookstores close.”

Timmies tries to eat Mickey D’s lunch
Tim Hortons chief executive Marc Caira says he wants the
chain to be a priority for Can-adians at the lunch hour.
The CEO said Thursday that he’s determined to make the company the lunchtime lead-er among quick-food outlets through its growing variety of sandwiches, grilled paninis and other offerings.
“In this low-growth era you need to aggressively go after these segments because there’s potential to grow,” he
said in an interview after the company’s shareholders meet-ing.
Caira said the recent launch of its crispy chicken sand-wich is helping the company achieve the goal of presenting itself as an alternative to its biggest competitors, which in-clude McDonald’s and Burger King.
At the same time, Caira wants to focus more on nu-
trition, emphasizing that his company’s chicken sandwich contains more protein and less fat than comparable offerings.
“Our responsibility is to make the product as healthy as possible,” he said.
The national coffee and doughnut chain needs to move faster to test and launch food items as it faces off against aggressive competitor, Caira added. THE CANADIAN PRESS
The iconic coffee and doughnut chain wants to get you back after your morningcup of Joe with lunch options that rival other fast-food chains’ offerings. FACEBOOK

Yes, I do have a frog in my throat
This is not the fi rst time Angus James saved a frog from peril. “Funnily enough, when I was a kid one of my fondest memories is of saving tree frogs by picking them up off the road and into a bucket. Then I’d release them into the safety of the bush,” he said. COURTESY ANGUS JAMES

GETTY IMAGES
You’ve likely heard a freshly inked pal describe the addictive nature of getting tattooed, that the first design often kicks off a yearning for the next session in the chair.
They may have also mentioned that the feeling fades in due course. But, if you happen to have a loved one in your life who you think might be ready to go a little overboard with the tats, perhaps this extremely slow motion clip of the messy, jiggly ordeal will provide a little perspective. Unless the pain is part of the pleasure, that is.(Via Tatted Up)
LIFE’S JUST BETTER IN THE COLD
THE METRO LIST
Mike Benhaimmetronews.ca
1 Keep on Tweetin’. Twitter stock plummeted to record lows this week when it was re-
vealed that the social media monster fell far short of projected growth. Is it ironic that this was one of the top trending news items on Twit-ter?
2 Best of ’gluck. Thailand’s prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, was ousted from of-
fice by the Constitutional Court in Bangkok this week. The claim is that of alleged “abuse of power” which is not only controversial, but makes me wonder if we’re even still talking about politics.
3 Missing Mayor. I never thought I’d see the day when we’d be looking for Rob Ford, let
alone that he would be hard to find.
4 High praise. Pope Francis decided to wing it in his Palm Sunday homily, calling on people to look into
their own hearts to see how they’re living and then into their phones to snap them some selfies. He then hopped on the
pope-mobile, pointed, winked, and said “Keep it real, homies.” #OMGCoolestPopeEver
5 Northern bliss. Canada ranked fifth on the Better Life Index based on a survey
of what people believe to be the “most im-portant factors for quality of life.” Countries ahead of us included Denmark, Sweden and Norway, leading me to believe that the “most important factors” are skiing, bob-sledding, and hockey.
6 #VegasBaby. Ben Affleck won so much money on Black Jack that he was banned
by the Hard Rock Casino for allegedly count-ing cards. This, in my opinion, is an impres-sive skill for which the victor deserves the spoils. Know anyone who’s been banned for losing too much? Think about it while I go
play basketball against eight-year-olds for money.
7 Sound of music. It’s Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Great time to witness amazing burgeoning talent from
other parts of the country and beyond. When I hear Amer-ican divas complain about not making enough money and playing half-empty venues, I always say, “There are starving artists in Canada who would kill to have what you have!” And we laugh. Then I think about it, and it’s actually not that funny. #CMW2014
8 Cold truth. Our nation’s only current NHL playoff team is Montreal, but many Canucks seem unwilling to sup-
port “les Canadiens,” and I believe that Lord Stanley would be turning over in his silver-plated grave. The Parti Québé-cois lost the election. The least we can do is cheer for the Habs because the closest the rest of us will get to a cham-pionship is eating a Stanley Cup doughnut at Tim Hortons. #GoHabsGo
9 Shattered (hoop) dreams. The Toronto Raptors, who had come so far, fell just one point short of advancing to the
second round on Sunday. On the bright side, the Brooklyn Nets suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat. That shouldn’t make me feel any better, but somehow it just does.
Meet the perch that liter-ally had a frog in its throat. Angler Angus James was left gobsmacked when he discovered a green tree frog inside the mouth of the fish he caught in northern Queensland, Australia. James tells Metro about the mo-ment when he realized some-thing fishy was going on.
Q&A
Avoiding croaking in the jaws of death
The frog had just survived being eaten and you had just pulled off this amazing catch, so who had the bigger smile? We both had pretty big smiles but I reckon his was bigger after he’d jumped out of the fish’s mouth.
It looks like the frog was hitching a jaw-side ride. But what actually happened? The perch must have just eaten the frog like a minute before I caught it. Normally fish like that go for smaller insects but maybe he was stocking up.
When did you realize that you’d caught a 2-for-1? I
wasn’t sure what it was at first — it looked like a splodge of green. Then as I was remov-ing the lure from the perch’s mouth, the frog blinked. That’s when I noticed what it was, and I quickly reached for my camera before it leapt over my shoulder.
You must have cat-like reac-tions to have managed to get your camera out in time. I used to be in the military, so I reckon the training kicked in. I whipped the camera out of my webbing (bag) and took the pic. But it wasn’t till later that I realized just how funny the smiling frog looked. METRO

It’s that simple.
See that symbol? It means you can scan the photo below with your Metro News app. You talkin’ to me? The frat holds a Robert De Niro party
Neighbors opens in theatres this weekend. CONTRIBUTED
Richard: Mark, there’s an old saying that goes, “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.” True enough, but as this movie teaches us, you should add neighbours to the “cannot choose” list. Living next door to the frat boys would be a nightmare in real life, but in reel life, it’s a great situation for
humour. The movie is not so much a story as it is an idea played out in a ser-ies of gags, but it is funny. Raunchy, but funny.
Mark: Also a movie that would have us believe there are no zoning bylaws in this fictitious college town. And Richard, I half agree with you. There are two mov-ies here. One is the story of a young married couple with a baby; the other, the story of a bunch of frat-house goofs. The former is extremely funny: Seth Ro-gen and Rose Byrne have a comedic chemistry as good as any great vaudeville duo. The frat boys, unfortunate-ly, are mostly indistinguish-
able and their scenes made me long for Animal House. Why cast the wonderful Christopher Mintz-Plasse and give him so little to do?
RC: I wondered that as well, but let’s face it, in the frat house side of things, Efron’s abs are the star. And his hair. And toothy grin. No room for the less physical charms of Mintz-Plasse. The real charm here, though, as you say, lies with Ro-gen and Byrne. They have great chemistry, and are a natural match — like frat boys and bongs. Their story doesn’t hinge on the war with the neighbours, how-ever, as much as it does the way they battle against
growing up. Their need to be thought of as cool while still being responsible adults, is very funny and adds a nice subtext to what could have been simply a very silly comedy.
MB: And in this way, the movie could be seen as a sequel to Knocked Up. Both films deal with Rogen as a dad and a late bloomer to maturity. Neighbours wouldn’t be nearly as suc-cessful if the couple were older or stuffier. It hits the right note of them be-ing almost young enough to take part in frat-house shenanigans, but not with the responsibility of a new-born. As a recent first-time
dad, I can tell you they got all those jokes right. But, Richard, I still laughed the hardest at some of the physical stuff. The airbag sequence is bound to be a classic.
RC: The airbag gags made me laugh, for sure, but the real treat for me was watching Rose Byrne, in her natural Aussie accent, out-cursing and outdoing Rogen with razor-sharp comic tim-ing.
MB: Or check out her seduc-tion scene of two frat kids — one male, one female — which will get an applause break from the audience every time!
Neighbors. Frat boy humour is always funny — but Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne bring some maturity to the fold
Synopsis
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne star as Mac and Kelly, aging hipsters and parents to new-born Stella. Their quiet sub-urban life is uprooted when unruly frat boys led by Teddy (Zac Efron) and Pete (Dave Franco) move in next door. “Make sure that if we’re too noisy, call me,” says Teddy on the eve of a big blowout. “Don’t call the cops.” When the house party spirals out of control, the couple has to call the police, thereby violating the fragile “circle of trust” between the two households. Trust broken, petty resentments trigger a Hatfi eld and McCoy’s style feud between Teddy and Company and Mac and Kelly.

Meeting Justin Bieber was superbad, Seth Rogen says
It’s on: Seth Rogen has become one of the first celeb-rities to call Justin Bieber out on his crap.
The comedian says his Bieber-related distaste goes back to the early days of Bieber fever. Bieber and Rogen were both backstage at a German talk show when word came that the singer had requested to meet the comedian. “I was like, ‘Sure, I’ll meet him,’” Rogen told Howard Stern.
“So I went outside to meet
him and he was acting like I asked to meet HIM! It was very nonchalant, ‘Yo man. What’s up?’ and I was like, ‘What the f—, I don’t give a f— about (you), I don’t want to meet you. Don’t act all nonplussed to meet me. I didn’t want to meet you. I was totally cool not meeting you ... But I was like, fine, I wouldn’t have said anything, I was like, ‘He’s a bit of a motherf—er.’”
Yesterday, Bieber re-sponded via Twitter, casting the incident in a somewhat different light: “Seth Rogan (sic) sorry I didnt (sic) bow down when I asked 2 meet u was probably a bit shy and didn’t want to be over the top but still. love ur movies.”
Aww. I might be inclined to believe that he was just shy, if I hadn’t heard literally dozens of stories of him act-ing like a rude little punk.

Cool mom Jada OK with 13-year-old Willow posing on bed with shirtless man
Willow Smith’s mom Jada Pinkett-Smith has strong feelings about photos of her 13-year-old daughter in bed with an adult man: She’s strongly cool with it. Pictures surfaced earlier this week of Willow Smith in bed with her friend, 20-year-old Moises Arias. It’s not as bad as it sounds at first blush: Wil-low’s fully clothed (though Arias is shirtless) and they
don’t appear to be touching. But we’re still talking a kid in bed with a grown man, which was enough to make the Internet uncomfortable.
Willow’s mom Jada, though, says the pic is fine. “Here’s the deal: There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation,” the actress told TMZ. “You guys are projecting your trash onto it, and you’re acting
like covert pedophiles, and that’s not cool.”
Indeed, a look at Arias’ website reveals that this pic is nothing special: He’s got tons of snapshots of his friends, and also he pretty much never wears a shirt. We’re not sure if that makes it better or worse, since his friends are mostly young teens like Willow and her brother Jaden.

Gearing up for summer
There’s never a dull moment when you have dinner with an Aussie winemaker. When Neil McGuigan is at your table you can multiply the fun by at least 1,000. I met up with him earlier this week in Halifax at the Agricola Street Brasserie — the city’s hottest new resto. The first time we shared a glass, it was on his home turf in New South Wales’s beauti-ful Hunter Valley.
McGuigan’s got a lot to be happy about. He makes the best-selling red in Aus-tralia and has been named Winemaker of the Year by the U.K.’s prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition three times.
Here in Canada he’s best known for championing the versatility of the white sémillon grape and creating bright, easy-drinking wines that pour well above their price point.
The 2012 McGuigan Black Label Shiraz ($10.99)
is a mini fruit bomb with ripe berry flavours, smooth tannins and a juicy finish. It’s got enough body to
fight it out with grilled meats, yet is playful enough to wash down barbecued hamburgers and hotdogs. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL PROVINCES.
1. Preheat oven to 180 C. Gen-erously butter six 1 cup ram-ekins and put in fridge to chill.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter until sizzling but not browned. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for about 2 min-utes until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Whisk in the milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper and lemon zest and bring back to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
3. Add lemon juice and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and beat in egg yolks one at a time. Taste for seasoning — it should taste highly sea-soned. Fold through whitebait or smoked salmon and herbs.
4. Place egg whites in a clean, dry bowl and beat until they form soft peaks. Add one quarter of the egg whites to the whitebait mixture and stir until well mixed. Then fold the remaining egg whites gently through the mixture.
5. Fill the buttered ramekins to the top, then run your thumb around the inside edge of the dishes so the soufflés puff even-ly. Set the ramekins in a deep roasting dish and pour boil-ing water around them until it comes about halfway up the sides of the dishes. This water bath will help the soufflés cook
evenly. Bake until they are lightly puffed, browned and just set in the centre – about 15-20 minutes. (The soufflés can be cooked right through at this point if you prefer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes total.)
6. Remove soufflés from oven and the water bath and leave to cool. They can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. When you are ready to serve them, preheat oven to 220 C. Pour 1 tbsp of cream over each soufflé. Place on a tray and cook until they are risen, crusty and golden — about 12 minutes from refrigerated.

TS Despite a stunning late-season collapse that cost the Toronto Maple Leafs a playoff spot, general manager Dave Nonis believes Randy Carlyle is still the right man to lead the club.
The Maple Leafs handed their embattled head coach a two-year contract extension on Thursday, while at the same time announcing that assistants Dave Farrish, Greg Cronin and Scott Gordon will not be back.
“It was important for us to make it clear that Randy has the support needed to move forward,” Nonis said on a con-ference call. “He has done a lot of good things for us and we expect him to continue that with some new assistants.”
There had been rampant speculation that Carlyle would pay with his job after a disas-trous end to the most recent campaign saw Toronto tumble out of post-season contention thanks to an embarrassing 2-12-0 finish.
Instead, Nonis and new Maple Leafs president Bren-dan Shanahan gassed Carlyle’s staff in hopes that some new voices can help the 58-year-old get the most out of Toronto’s underachieving roster.
“If you’ve seen it being
done before with most of the same players, or a lot of the same players, and with that coach leading that group, I know it can happen,” said Nonis. “I know it has hap-pened with this group be-fore. I know that (Carlyle) has reached them before, reached them at times this year.
“For me it’s not that we’re guessing whether or not he
can have success or he can get through to them. We’ve seen it. I know that it’s there and we feel he is the guy that can get through to this group.”
Carlyle — who led the Maple Leafs to their first play-off appearance since 2004 in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season — had Toronto sitting second in the Atlantic Division this year before the wheels fell
off in mid-March.“We feel that this group
can continue to grow into a higher level of a hockey club,” said Carlyle. “We just have to find and continue to push for a little bit more from the in-dividuals and we are going to do everything we possibly can to change some of the things that are happening with our group.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Sterling’s wife won’t agree to forced sale: LawyerThe estranged wife of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling will fight to retain her 50 per cent ownership stake in the team, her lawyer said Thursday, adding an un-wanted twist to the NBA’s plan to force new owner-ship on the franchise.
Shelly Sterling’s attor-ney, Pierce O’Donnell, said his client “will not agree to a forced or involuntary seizure of her interest.
“As her lawyers we will fight vigorously to defend her property rights,” he said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ask Toronto FC manager Ryan Nelsen about how far defender Doneil Henry can go in the game and he doesn’t hesitate.
“He’ll go to the top,” said Nelsen, a former centre back of some renown himself. “I had to buy (West Ham manager) Sam Allardyce a couple of bottles of red just to get him back, to tell you the truth.”
Allardyce, who managed Nelsen at Blackburn Rovers, saw that firsthand in the off-season when Toronto FC sent the 21-year-old Henry to Lon-don to train with the Premier League team.
It speaks volumes about Henry — and the unwaver-
ing support of his Toronto FC boss — that Nelsen offered the glowing endorsement three days after a pair of missteps by Henry led to two goals in a 2-1 loss to the New England Revo-lution.
While some only see mis-takes, others see Henry as a fu-
ture captain for both club and country.
The six-foot Henry is an athletic specimen. He has power and pace, able to step up quickly to intercept the ball and blunt attacks.
Henry became the first player from the Toronto FC Academy to graduate to the first team when he signed a pro contract in August 2010. Just 17, Henry had already made three appearances for the sen-ior side.
He has 11 caps for Canada, including 10 starts. Plus 53 league appearances for Toron-to.
That experience, along with the training stint in England, has boosted Henry’s confi-dence on and off the field.
“Mentally I think I’m in a strong place,” he said.
“I’m no longer going to use experience as a factor,” he add-ed. “I’m ready.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Horoscopes
Aries March 21 - April 20 You may think you know what motivates someone but the planets warn you have it wrong, and that could be dangerous. In your personal life and at work you are advised not to jump to conclusions today — or any day.
Taurus April 21 - May 21 You may believe that if you don’t act soon your big chance will pass but it isn’t true. The sense of urgency you feel is an illusion and what happens over the next three days will prove it.
Gemini May 22 - June 21 You know there is a flaw in your plans but you are tempted to ignore it. If you push ahead regardless, you are sure to regret it. Work out where it is you have gone wrong first.
Cancer June 22 - July 23 What you hear today may annoy you but is it worth getting worked up about? If you allow yourself to get angry over what others say, they will have succeeded in their aim.
Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 Make sure you do not commit yourself to anything you cannot back out of later. Most times your instincts can be trusted but this may be the one time when they let you down.
Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Don’t change anything for the sake of it today because you will only have to change it back again later. It might be better to stick with what you know about, even if it is not what you want. Wait and see what the weekend brings.
Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 You should expect some deception over the next 24 hours, even from people you think you can trust. Don’t hold grudges against people who let you down. It happens.
Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 It does not matter how convinced you may be that you are in the right and others are in the wrong. You won’t get far if you insist they come round to your way of thinking. Look for a compromise solution.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You will be caught off by something you did not expect today. You have taken certain things for granted when you had no reason to do so. Admit you made a mistake and do what you can to put it right.
Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Do what you can to bring people together today but if it proves too tough a task just back off and let them fight it out. Do not get involved on a personal level yourself. If you choose sides you’ll be the loser.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Make sure you have all the facts because it is the only way you can be certain you are not being deceived. The planets warn that unscrupulous people won’t hesitate to cheat you.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 Current cosmic activity endows you with self-confidence but the downside is you might start thinking you cannot fail. Apply common sense to everything you do today. SALLY BROMPTON
