A large group of Edmonton cab drivers waved signs, chanted and blared music as they protested against the high insurance surcharges that they must pay for at-fault accidents.

The union representing drivers with Yellow Cab, Bar-rel Taxi, Checker and Pres-tige Cabs served notice Fri-day and formed a picket line outside the corporate office

at 101 Street and 31 Avenue around 9 a.m. Monday.

Drivers want to see a re-duction in the $6,200 fee that they’re charged if they get into a preventable ac-cident. The fee is levied for every accident on top of the weekly rent to cover fleet in-surance.

Teamsters Local 987 rep David Froelich said about 100 drivers were on the picket

lines. “They’re professional drivers, driving 12, 14 hours a day and six or seven days a week. We depend on them all the time,” Froelich said.

Meanwhile, Edmonton Taxi Service Group president Phil Strong said there was no impact on service and no de-crease in call volume.

“Anyone ordering a cab would not notice a differ-ence,” Strong said, adding that he hasn’t heard from the union in six weeks and doesn’t understand why the union would want the com-pany to cut back on the fee, which would affect employee salaries.

Labour. Union says the $6,200 charge for at-fault accidents is unfair

Site co-ordinator Charles Szaszkiewicz says the main stage, kitchen and all items on the main fi eld will be gone by Thursday. LUCY HAINES/FOR METRO

Folk fest smoothing over its footprint

It took three weeks to put up the village that was the folk fest: Stages, concession tents and a portable kitchen serving more than 2,000 volunteers on Gallagher Hill for the feel-good event of tarps and tunes.

And it will take 11 days to take the whole thing apart, leaving nothing but matted grass and memories.

The sound tower is coming down, and portable loos are be-

ing loaded onto a semi-trailer flat bed. The folk fest is still bustling, but there’s no music now — just chatter on walkie-talkies as experienced volun-teers move boxes of gear into trucks in an effort to return Gallagher Park to Cloverdale residents as quickly as possible.

Cloverdale homeowner Jacynthe Arsenault already has her three kids playing in Gal-lagher’s splash park, as crews remove scaffolding nearby.

“I like the festival week-end,” she said. “It doesn’t cause us any trouble.”

Charles Szaszkiewicz, a 25-year folk festival volunteer and site co-ordinator, added: “Safety is the most important thing.” He said the main hill will be clear in a few days bar-ring any big rains.

“We have real day jobs too, and we want to get some sleep.”

Szaszkiewicz said he’s seen years where torrential rain pours down the main hill, making carrying heavy tents difficult.

The 7,000-square-foot full kitchen, with plumbing, floor-ing and cooking equipment, is the biggest facility to tear down, he said, followed by the main stage.

The rest follows quickly.Folk fest producer Terry

Wickham said working with Cloverdale residents is easier than getting help with the tear-down.

“It’s always harder to get people to clean up after a party than it is to get ready for it,” he laughed.

Harmonious. Cloverdale residents have very few complaints about annual music fest

Behind the scenes

• Glorious weather brought some 90,000 folk music lovers to Gallagher Hill for the four-day annual event.

• A core site crew of 200 puts up and takes down the festival. But about 1,000 festival volunteers from 60-plus other crew members put in four hours each to help with teardown.

• Crews open Gallagher Park within a day of festival’s end, starting with the playground and splash park. Crews even re-seed areas that are torn up.

‘Diffi culties’ with client

Psych evaluation suggested for man accused in peace offi cer’s deathDuty counsel for the man accused of beating a southern Alberta peace officer to death has sug-gested his client may need to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

Trevor Kloschinsky, 46, made his first court appearance Monday via closed-circuit television to answer to a charge of first-degree murder.

He is alleged to have severely beaten Rod Laz-enby, a Municipal District of Foothills peace officer and former 35-year RCMP member, who was re-sponding to an animal-re-lated complaint at Tangled Spur Ranch in Priddis.

RCMP allege Kloschin-sky then turned himself and Lazenby over to Calgary police, but the injured peace officer suc-cumbed to his injuries.

Kloschinsky’s duty counsel, Stephen Jenuth, informed a Calgary judge Monday of “some difficul-ties” interviewing his client.

“I don’t know if it was a physical problem or a mental-health problem, but the guards had to hold the phone to his ear, otherwise he wouldn’t talk to me,” he said.

On the closed-circuit television feed, Kloschin-sky stood in shackles with his back against a wall. He did not speak.

“You can see how he is on screen, kind of hiding against the wall,” Jenuth explained during his reasoning for a possible psychiatric evaluation.

Kloschinsky is sched-uled to appear in an Oko-toks court again Tuesday.

At press time, officials had not released the results of an autopsy on Lazenby’s body that was scheduled for Monday.JEREMY NOLAIS/METRO IN CALGARY

No solid evidence in Matrikon case, says lawyer The lawyer representing an Edmonton business-man says there’s no direct evidence Nizar Somji tipped off family members ahead of news that made his com-pany’s stock price rise.

Coach Trevor Palmatier, left, welcomes home local diver Eric Sehn from the London Olympics Monday at the Edmonton International Airport. Sehn, a first-time Olympian, came in 29th place in preliminaries in the men’s 10-metre diving event. lucy haines/for Metro

memories, not medals, last for edmonton diver

A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered at the Edmonton International Airport on Mon-day evening to welcome home local Olympic hero and diver Eric Sehn from the London Games.

Armed with bags of Can-adian-team gear, Sehn said the experience was everything he expected it to be.

“I’m an Olympian,” said the

beaming athlete after a seven- hour flight. “Plus, I met David Beckham. That was cool.”

Describing his 29th-place finish in the preliminary dives as disappointing, Sehn said the level of competition in men’s diving is incredible, with in-ward and reverse 4.5 rotations off the 10-metre board push-ing the sport to new territory.

“The finals were the best ever — the feeling in the build-ing, with hometown boy Tom Daley taking the bronze — it was electric,” he said.

Sehn’s coach Trevor Pal-matier — who just missed joining the London team — gave Sehn advice through email and Twitter. He said it was nerve-wracking to watch on TV, with no control over his athlete.

“But in the end, London re-

minded us why we do what we do,” said Palmatier.

“I’m glad Eric got the chance to experience it.”

Spirit. Despite missing the semifinals, local diver is thrilled with his first and last Olympic appearance

Sehn’s track record

• The 27-year old Edmonton native and Pan-Am bronze medallist went to the Olympics with a first-place finish in the 10-metre diving event at the 2012 winter senior national championships.

• He also won gold in the 10-metre synchro event with Kevin Geyson.

• Only about 7,000 Canadians in Winter or Summer Games have been Olympians.

Michael Motiuk stabbing. Police seeking public’s help in finding weapon connected to murderEdmonton police are ask-ing residents in Mill Woods to check their backyards for a weapon that may be con-nected to a recent murder in the area.

Police are asking residents within a few blocks of Mill Woods Road East near 16A Avenue to look for an edged weapon that may be connect-ed to the murder of Michael

Motiuk, who died after being stabbed on August 6.

“We have searched all the areas that we could, but now we are asking for residents to assist us in that search,” said Det. Stephen Camp of the EPS homicide section.

If a weapon is found, residents should not touch or handle it but call EPS im-mediately. Metro

Grade 1 teacher Sarah Way asks her students to draw a picture of what makes them smile during the first day of school at Mother Teresa Elementary onMonday. More than 1,000 Catholic students at three schools returned to class three weeks earlier than others youths as part of a year-round schooling calendar. laurie callsen/metro

Excited and nervous faces filled the halls of three Ed-monton Catholic schools Mon-day as students headed back to class three weeks ahead of most Edmonton children.

At Mother Teresa Elemen-tary in central Edmonton, most students were excited

to get back to class and catch up with classmates after their five-week vacation.

“I’m excited to see my friends,” said Grade 2 stu-dent Kaliyah Coughlin as she walked to school with her mom, Lolita Noel.

“It feels like the break wasn’t long enough at all,” said Noel.

Mother Teresa has been offering year-round school-ing for two years, which was brought in after consultation with the community, staff and parents, said Edmonton Cath-olic School District spokes-woman Lori Nagy.

“Parents tell us that chil-

dren do much better when they’re back into a routine,” said Nagy, adding that St. Al-

phonsus and St. Catherine Ele-mentary/Junior Highs — with a grand total of 1,100 students — are also part of the pro-gram.

“It really does help to close the learning gap. In Septem-ber, students have retained more (information) than they would if they had eight weeks of holidays,” said Nagy.

The rest of the Catholic school system’s students and all Edmonton Public School students return to class Sept. 4.

Multiple charges. Cops nab motorcyclist after alleged texting and drivingAn Edmonton man is facing a number of charges after al-legedly texting while driving his motorcycle.

The man took off, then al-legedly struck an oncoming vehicle after failing to negoti-ate a turn. He tried to flee the scene on foot but was taken down by officers near 41 Av-enue and 44 Street, police said.

“Our officers have seen some pretty ridiculous things

from motorists, including people trying to read while driving (and) a person using their knees to steer a vehicle while eating a bowl of cereal,” said Staff Sgt. Barry Maron of the EPS traffic section in a re-lease.

Wayne Aucoin, 43, has been charged with criminal flight, criminal hit-and-run, disqualified driving and sev-eral other provincial traffic offences. Metro

Victim from St. Albert

Rollover north of edmonton kills oneOne man is dead after a grey Dodge Ram pickup rolled on Range Road 255 near Highway 633, just north of St. Albert.

RCMP were called to the scene around 6 a.m. Sunday and said the driver, who wasn’t wear-ing his seatbelt, died.

RCMP identified the driver as 30-year-old Brent Ferguson of St. Albert. Metro

Police investigate afternoon shootingEdmonton police were interviewing more than a dozen witnesses after a brazen daytime shooting just off Jasper Avenue late Monday afternoon.

One man is in hospital and police had an area on 113 Street just north of Jasper Avenue blocked off around 4 p.m. Monday.

Police said the shooting happened after an apparent dispute behind a restaurant in the area. Metro

School’s out

Students still have the same number of instructional days that students at other Catholic schools do; they’re just divided up differently.

Police won’t bend for yoga guru’s protest Indian yoga guru Baba Ramdev waves out of the window of a bus after he and thousands of his supporters were detained for several hours by Indian police in new Delhi on Monday, after they tried to march to India’s parliament to intensify an anti-corruption protest and press for a change of government. Ramdev has been fasting to demand a robust ombudsman law to keep checks on government, a strong and independent Central Bureau of Investigation, and efforts to act against tax evasion and illegal money sent to banks abroad. How-ever, support for Ramdev’s protest has been dwindling. About 10,000 people showed up Monday, less than half the number at the start of the protest four days ago. Critics have accused Ramdev of amassing a fortune in donations and not paying taxes. Ramdev denies all allegations. Saurabh DaS/The aSSociaTeD PreSS

Costa Concordia towing delayedItalian government of-ficials say the capsized Costa Concordia cruise ship will not be moved from its resting place off Italy’s Tuscan coast as quickly as planned.

South Africa. Two police officers among 9 killed in platinum-mine violenceOngoing violent protests at a platinum mine in South Africa have killed at least nine people, as authorities struggled to control a mas-sive crowd that at one point overpowered officers and stole their weapons, police said Monday.

The protests focused on a Lonmin PLC mine operation near Marikana, a town about 70 kilometres northwest of Johannesburg. Two police of-ficers were killed during vio-lent protests Monday, while another remains in critical condition. Officers opened fire on the crowd, killing at least three people.

Protests began Friday when workers walked off the job over a wage dispute. Four miners attempting to go to work were injured by a rival mine union. Angry protest-ers returned to the mine on Sunday, killing two security guards by setting their car on fire, authorities said. Another two miners died Monday in other attacks, police and company officials said.

The fighting intensified Monday as part of a larger struggle between the Na-

tional Union of Minework-ers and the Association of Mineworkers and Construc-tion Union. National Union of Mineworkers spokesman Lesiba Seshoka said the fight-ing had shut down Lonmin’s operation near Marikana. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mining woes

The restive labour force is among the many challenges facing the mining industry in South Africa.

• Theindustryhasbeenweakened by decades of under-investment. A de-bate over nationalization and other policy questions have created uncertainty that has spooked potential investors. Still, South Africa remains a major producer of platinum, coal and gold.

Health Canada warns of hospital- bed entrapment

Health Canada is warn-ing hospitals and other health-care facilities about the risk of entrapment of patients in hospital beds after three people died and several were injured. In a notice to hospitals issued Monday, the health agency says 12 incidents have been reported of patients becom-ing trapped in hospital beds since 2009, including three deaths. the canadian press

Iran raised its earthquake death toll to 306 on Monday, a day after rescuers called off the search for survivors from the rubble of their homes in the country’s northwest, state media reported.

Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi told a session of parliament that the num-ber jumped by about 50 after victims expired in the hospi-tal. More than 3,000 people were injured in the twin earth-quakes that struck two days ago, she added in comments broadcast on state radio.

In one hamlet visited by AP Television News near the village of Bajeh Baj, 13 miles west of one of the epicentres, furniture peeked out from under piles of bricks and col-lapsed roof timbers while men sorted through debris, trying to salvage what little

was left of their households.Residents say the earth-

quake killed 35 people living in the simple dwellings sur-rounded by mountains. Dried earth was left split wide open from the force of the shock, which cut some houses in two and left the wall of one stand-ing only where it was propped up by a refrigerator.

The death toll included some 219 women and children, Dastjerdi said, adding that around 2,000 injured people had been released from hospi-tals soon after the quake since they had only minor injuries.

Dastjerdi said her ministry has deployed scores of ambu-lances and medics to the re-gion but still needs helicopters to transfer seriously injured people quickly.

Authorities say old, heavy roofs without frames were largely responsible for the death toll in the rural areas.

Scores of aftershocks have coursed through the region since the 6.4- and 6.3-magni-tude quakes hit the area, home to some 300,000 people in a 6,000-kilometre borderland near Azerbaijan and Armenia.the associated press

Cuba celebrated Fidel Castro’s 86th birthday on Monday with congratulatory messages in state media but no appearance by the retired leader, who has faded from public view.

Communist Party news-paper Granma published mem-ories of Castro from people familiar with him such as Cu-ban journalists and cohorts from the 1959 revolution. Gov-ernment-run websites carried essays on his life and best wish-es from presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua.

The milestone was yet an-other reminder of both the

Cuban leader’s longevity and his inevitable mortality. He survived in power for nearly 50 years despite numerous at-tempts on his life and periodic rumours of his passing.

Castro last appeared in photos and video in March, looking jovial but thin and pale as he and companion Dalia Soto del Valle greeted a visiting Pope Benedict XVI.the associated press

cop among dead in texas shooting

A Texas law-enforcement of-ficer attacked as he brought an eviction notice to a house Monday was among three people, including a shooter inside the home, killed Monday near a Texas university.

A 65-year-old man also died, while three other law-enforcement officers and a 55-year-old woman were wounded, in the shootings at an off-campus home not

far from the Texas A&M Uni-versity’s football stadium, College Station Assistant Police Chief Scott McCol-lum said.

Brazos County Const. Brian Bachmann had gone to a home with an eviction notice just after 12 p.m., McCollum said. A man in his mid-30s who lived there opened fire from inside, he said.

Officers responding to calls describing an offi-cer down saw Bachmann wounded on the ground in the front yard, then got into what McCollum described as an extended shootout with the gunman, who eventually was shot.

Both Bachmann and the

gunman were later pro-nounced dead at a hospital. Officials did not say where the other man who died was shot or why he, or the woman who was wounded, was at the home.

Bachmann worked more than 19 years in law en-forcement, according to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Stan-dards and Education. He started out with the Hemp-stead Police Department before spending most of his career with the Brazos County Sheriff ’s Office. He had been a constable since January 2011 after winning election to the post the pri-or November.the associated press

norway. commission criticizes police response to bomb, gun massacreNorwegian authorities could have prevented or interrupted the bomb and gun attacks by a far-right terrorist who killed 77 people last year, a government commission said Monday.

The long-awaited report into the July 22 attacks also said the domestic intelligence service could have done more to track down the gunman.

Anders Behring Breivik, 33, has admitted to the bombing of the government’s headquar-ters in Oslo and the subsequent shooting spree at a youth camp. He is currently awaiting senten-cing.

While noting that the at-tacks “may be the most shock-

ing and incomprehensible acts ever experienced in Norway,” the 500-page report said the bombing “could have been prevented” if already-adopted security measures had been

implemented more effect-ively.

The re-port said that a faster po-lice response could have stopped Brei-vik’s shooting

spree earlier, but recognized that “hardly anyone could have imagined” the attack on Utoya.the associated press

Canadian navy search-and-rescue spokeswoman Capt. Annie Djiotsa says the Piper twin engine Comm-anche crashed near Brenda Mines, about 22 kilometres west of Peachland in B.C.’s Okanagan region.

She says a Cormorant helicopter was dispatched to the crash site, which was about 55 kilometres from Penticton.

Chris Harbord from the B.C. Ambulance Service con-firmed three people in critic-al condition were taken from the crash site to hospitals in Kelowna and Kamloops.

“It took a while for search-and-rescue to find the plane and when they did we under-stood there was four patients on board,” she said.

Obama, Republicans’ Ryan campaigning hard in Iowa

Mitt Romney’s freshly minted running mate is hitting the U.S. presidential campaign trail on his own for the first time, making appearances in Iowa as President Barack Obama begins a three-day tour of the same key battle-ground state.

Paul Ryan and Obama are vying for headlines and attention in Iowa, where the president decisively won his first primary victory in Janu-ary 2008 on his way to snag-ging the Democratic nomina-tion. Romney and Obama are neck-and-neck in the polls in the Hawkeye State.

But polls also suggest Romney’s choice of Ryan — a Wisconsin congressman and the Republican party’s fiscal-restraint czar — hasn’t wowed the American public.

Ryan was described as only a “fair” or “poor” choice by 42 per cent of respondents to a

USA Today/Gallup survey re-leased Monday, while 39 per cent said they view him as an “excellent” or “pretty good” vice-presidential choice.

Romney pollster Neil New-house said in a statement that the findings simply re-flect the fact that Ryan, the chairman of the House of Representatives budget com-mittee, isn’t yet a household name in the United States.

However, previous USA Today/Gallup surveys taken immediately after a vice-presidential pick have yielded more favourable ratings for running mates.

Only Dan Quayle, George

H. W. Bush’s No. 2 in 1988, had lower ratings.

Democrats have reacted with glee to Romney’s choice, swiftly pouncing to portray Ryan as an extremist for his proposals to overhaul Medi-care, a beloved government program that guarantees ac-cess to health insurance for

Americans over 65.Conservatives, on the

other hand, have lauded Romney for making a bold choice by tapping an innova-tive thinker who has long insisted the party needs to present big, transformative ideas to the American people. the assOcIated pRess

contact with martians, please let me know right away,” Obama told control-lers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. “I’ve got a lot of other things on my plate, but I suspect that that will go to the top of the list.

Afghan police attacks on NATO ‘troubling’

New U.S. ambassador to Af-ghanistan James Cunningham called a sudden rash of attacks on international forces by their Afghan partners “troubling” Monday, after an Afghan police-man opened fire on NATO forces in the fifth such assault in a week.

No international service members were killed in the latest attack. A Taliban spokes-man claimed responsibility for the shooting in the eastern province of Nangarhar, claim-ing the attacker was a police officer who had been in contact with insurgents.

A spike in so-called “green-on-blue” attacks, in which Af-ghan security forces or attack-ers wearing their uniforms turn their guns on coalition troops, has raised concerns as NATO aims to turn over control for security to Afghan forces in a little more than two years.

“It’s obviously very troub-ling, not just to us, but it’s also very troubling to our Afghan partners,” Cunningham told reporters.

He said it was not clear if all of the attackers were Taliban infiltrators, but noted that the strikes still threaten the “con-fidence and trust” needed for the two military forces to work together.

The coalition on Monday sought to dispel any idea that the rising number of turncoat attacks signals any shift in public sympathy toward insur-gents, increased Taliban infil-

tration or growing resentment toward the mostly American coalition forces.

Insurgents were behind only about 10 per cent of this year’s reported green-on-blue shootings, a NATO spokesman said, citing investigations into attacks before those of the past week.

He insisted the deadly vio-lence is relatively small scale. The AssOciATed press

Turncoats. So-called ‘green-on-blue’ shootings undermine trust between forces, U.S. ambassador says

Syrian rebels circulated dramatic video Monday of what they professed was the downing of a warplane and armed men later holding the captured pilot who ejected as the MiG fighter was engulfed by flames. Syria acknow-ledged a pilot bailed out of a disabled plane, but blamed the crash on a technical mal-function.

The authenticity of the images or the claims could not be independently veri-fied. If the rebels did bring down their first aircraft, that could signal a significant

jump in their firepower and give opposition forces their most high-profile military captive. The AssOciATed press

Tourism down during Olympics: Trade group

The Olympics brought less tour-ist money to recession-hit Brit-ain than officials expected, a trade group said Monday, with a majority of tourist businesses reporting losses from last year.

A survey of more than 250 tour operators, hoteliers and visitor attractions found that tourist traffic fell all over Brit-ain, not just London, said UKin-bound, a leading trade associa-tion representing British tour operators, shops and hotels. The survey said 88 per cent of British tourism-oriented busi-

nesses reported some losses during the Games compared to the same period last year.

“As an industry we knew the Games would have a nega-tive impact on international visitor numbers to London but the impact on the rest of the U.K., combined with domestic visitors staying away, has been deeply disappointing,” said Rita Beckwith, chief executive of London’s City Cruises, a mem-ber of UKinbound.

Officials are still tallying up the total number of tour-

ists who came to — or avoided — London this summer. The capital normally sees about 1.5 million tourists on average in August.

Tourism officials say that international Olympics visitors to London, including athletes, officials and tourists, totalled about 300,000. Domestic spec-tators from Britain made up the majority of people visiting Games venues.

Restaurants and shops have complained that these Games visitors did not spend as much

money on food and shopping as typical summer tourists.

London’s hotels have hit about 80 per cent occupancy, which is not higher than typical August rates, said Miles Quest, a spokesman for the British Hos-pitality Association.

There were some positive signs. Visa, the only credit card accepted at the Olympics venues, reported that inter-national visitors to Britain spent more than 450 million pounds ($705 million US) on their cards during the first week of the Games, up by eight per cent on the same time last year.

Around 12.7 million pounds were spent on Visa cards in Lon-don restaurants last week, an increase of almost 20 per cent on a year ago.The assOciaTed press

U.s. drought. Feds to help struggling farmersThe U.S. government will buy up to $170 million US of pork, lamb, chicken and cat-fish to help drought-stricken farmers, the White House said Monday as President Barack Obama brought his re-election campaign to rural voters in Iowa.

The purchase for food banks and other federal food nutrition programs is expected to help producers struggling with the high cost of feed during the worst drought in a quarter-century.

The announcement came as Obama criticized Republic-an vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan for blocking a farm bill that could help farm-ers cope with the drought. Obama touted his efforts to help farmers as he began a three-day tour of the battle-ground state he won in 2008.

The USDA said it would buy up to $100 million of pork products, $50 million of chicken, $10 million of lamb and $10 million of catfish. The assOciaTed press

Job losses. Google cutting 4,000 at Motorola MobilityGoogle is cutting about 4,000 jobs at its Motorola Mobility cellphone business and will close or consolidate about one-third of its 90 locations.

The reductions repre-sent about 20 per cent of Motorola Mobility’s 20,000 employees, and seven per cent of Google’s overall work force. Two-thirds of the job

cuts will take place outside of the U.S., Google said.

The job eliminations come three months after Google bought the once-dominant U.S. cellphone maker for $12.5 billion US, chiefly with a view to using its large patent portfolio to bolster its legal defences.

The cellphone pioneer has

been struggling for years. It hadn’t produced a mass-mar-ket hit since it introduced the Razr cellphone in 2005 and its market share has plummeted.

Before the acquisition, Motorola had been trying to turn itself around by focus-ing on smartphones, and the cuts announced Monday will

shift that goal even further. In the first quarter, Motorola sold 5.1 million smartphones and 3.7 million “dumb” phones.

The migration toward smartphones has slowed Motorola’s decline, but it has still lost money in 14 out of the last 16 quarters.The assOciaTed press

When You Become Your

Partner’s Parent

Every time I embark on a couple’s getaway with my signifi-cant other, I am expected to be the keeper of our passports and all other important documents. I don’t know why this happens,

but I do know that it’s the cause of many departure-lounge arguments.

“It’s easier because you have a purse,” my boyfriend tells me. It’s easier for him, is what he really means.

Part of me wants to insist he be more self-reliant and discourage his child-like dependence on me. The other part of me doesn’t really care that much about something so trivial. I always wind up carrying everything in the end because, well, it is easier and I am also legitimately afraid that he would lose his passport.

It’s a small thing to argue over, but it’s indicative of a much bigger problem. In relationships, and I know I’m not alone

in this, women often find them-selves in an awkward position of feeling a bit more like a mother than a lover.

Sure, the desire to nurture and protect is instinctual and, to a certain degree, unavoid-able. But it can be hard to know when to draw the line between being supportive and turning into a Pseudo-Mom.

In their new book How Can I Be Your Lover When I’m Too Busy Being Your Mother? therapist Sara Dimerman and bestselling author J.M. Kearns tackle the issues that

arise when a loving partnership turns into a parent-child relationship.

According to the authors, “a healthy couple functions as a team, with both pitching in. When that fails to happen, the nagging mother appears and both partners suffer.”

When it comes to my own relationship, I have to wonder if I’m enabling my boyfriend’s Peter Pan syndrome every time I tidy up after him or do his laundry or remind him about his upcoming doctor’s appointment. I’m trying to be a caring and loving partner, but sometimes I catch myself nagging and shudder at the Mom-isms that come out of my mouth.

Dimerman and Kearns suggest that sometimes, “a man who actually wants to do more around the house is ‘fended off’ by his wife when she does things like criticizing his work, redoing his tasks and setting too-high standards.”

No matter who’s at fault, spouses need to be equals. So when you’re doing more than your fair share when it comes to domestic tasks and other respon-sibilities, you run the risk of los-ing respect for one another and jeopardizing your relationship.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green opens on Wednesday. HANDOUT

The Odd Life of Timothy Green comes by its mix of whimsy and realism honestly.

It was born from a dream. Sort of.

“I’d been dreaming that I was directing something and it was going well,” says direc-tor Peter Hedges. “I had sat

up in bed and told my wife I wanted to make one of those movies like A Field of Dreams or It’s a Wonderful Life. She said, ‘Great, go back to bed.’ But I couldn’t. ‘What’s the matter?’ she said. ‘I don’t really come up with those kinds of ideas.’

That could have been the end of it, but as luck would have it he met with Ahmet Zappa, who had a loose idea about a childless couple who bury slips of paper with all the qualities they would like their child to have in the garden. After a heavy rain a young boy with five leaves on each ankle emerges.

Suddenly his whimsical dream was looking much more like reality.

“There was just a myriad

of possibilities,” the director continues.

“I started telling stories from my own experience as a parent, as a child, as an adult. All that I’d learned in the 15 years I’d been a dad. The meeting got very emotional. I didn’t really want to write off of anyone else’s notion but this was too delicious. It felt like if I took on its magic and married it with my ex-perience and my deep need to explore, in a new way, the issues of family and love and how we treat each other and how we navigate this broken world… if I could put all that together, maybe I could come close to making the kind of film that I was dreaming about.”

Finding a balance between

realism and fantasy, however, was harder than he imagined. A table read of his initial script revealed some prob-lems.

“About halfway through the reading fell apart,” he says.

“Suddenly I found myself falling asleep and the room got very grim. What I realized was that while the ultimate journey was right, the mid-dle of the movie was in deep trouble. I had more whimsy and less meaning.”

A rewrite led to finding the right balance.

“With a film like this you take a bit of a leap,” he says. “I think that is the enchant-ing part of cinema.

“That’s why we go to the movies.”

Growing whimsy. The Odd Life of Timothy Green’s director struggled to balance reality and fantasy in fi lm

The Raid: RedemptionDirector. Gareth Evans

Stars. Iko Uwais, Ananda George, Ray Sahetapy

•••••

Here’s the action arithmetic of The Raid: Redemption: one ruthless crime lord, 20 elite cops, 30 floors of hell. Combin-ing a strong protagonist and story with traditional Indonesian martial arts (silat) moves, Welsh writ-er/director Gareth Evans creates an exhilarating experience that rightly won the Midnight Mad-ness award at TIFF 2011. But this is brutal stuff, with a body count that is high even by genre stan-dards. Iko Uwais is Rama, a rookie in a 20-member SWAT team charged with cleaning a highrise of Jakarta drug lord Tama (Ray Sahetapy) and his legion of thugs. The bad-dies have been flouting the law to an extent that requires a response — even in a city where cops habitually look the other way for fear and profit. Closed-circuit cameras, a weapons arsenal and a psychopathic enforcer called Mad Dog (Yayan Ruhian) are just some of the tools Tama has at his ruthless disposal.PETER HOWELL

He put a ring on it: Aniston’s on her way down the aisle

After more than a year of dating, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are engaged to be married, Theroux’s rep confirms to People magazine.

“Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jen-nifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage,” his rep says.

Theroux, 41, and Aniston, 43, have known each other for years, but started dating more than a year ago after working on the comedy Wanderlust. Though that film disappeared quickly

from movie theatres after its release earlier this year, the relationship clearly proved to have more staying power.

The two moved in together and tabloids soon began predicting everything from marriage to babies for the new couple. This will be Theroux’s first marriage. It’s not clear if a wedding date for the couple had been set. Aniston’s engagement comes four months after Pitt and Jolie announced their engage-ment. With files from the AssociAted Press

Perry wants ex to zip it about past, sources say

After one too many inter-views in which Russell Brand ran his mouth about their failed 14-month marriage, Katy Perry has reportedly called in the lawyers to gag the British comedian, accord-ing to the Daily Star.

“Katy is fed up with Russell constantly making reference to their marriage in interviews,” a source tells the newspaper. “While it’s main-ly harmless and often even complimentary,

she’s sick to death of his com-ments being splashed all over the news and magazines.” So the Fireworks singer is taking matters into her own hands, according to the source: “She called lawyers and told them to put a gagging order on Russ to prevent him from speaking (about) her in public again. Katy vowed never to reveal the ins and outs of their marriage breakdown or speak about Russell in any way.”

Too personal, too public: Paradis struggles with

Who said that artists should sell their soul, expose everything about themselves?” Paradis asks in an interview with French Elle. “It’s my duty to promote this movie and my albums, but you can imagine what it feels like to see people making a busi-ness out of your pain.” She does offer some insight,

though, into what makes relationships work — and not work: “I hate, for ex-ample, whenever you hear someone say, ‘You have to work at being a couple.’ No, you have to want to be there,” she says.

A recent study shows that mold can cause asthma in babies. ISTOCK PHOTOS

Babies exposed to mold more susceptible to asthma

Keep your baby safe from mold.

Researchers in Cincinnati recently completed a study in which they looked for trig-gers of childhood asthma. They found that while air conditioning, dehumidifiers, carpeting, smoke and dogs did not increase asthma rates,

mold did. “The main new finding is

that we were able to show an association between mold ex-posure in infants and the de-velopment of asthma in chil-dren,” says lead author and professor Tiina Reponen from the University of Cincinnati.

Cats reduced the risk of asthma.

Asthma is a chronic in-flammation of the airways. It affects about 12.5 per cent of

Canadian children. There were 289 babies in

the study, all born healthy in Kentucky and Ohio. The sci-entists did home visits when infants were on average eight months old.

They assessed amounts of dust, mold (which is made up of fungi) and other allergens in the home. Then, the chil-dren received a clinical exam at age seven, and were tested for asthma.

Risk of asthma was 1.8 times greater in the children who were exposed to high amounts of mold.

“The main reasons for mold growth in buildings in-clude wet basements, flood-ing, roof leaks, leaks from water pipes, and condensa-tion of indoor moisture on cold surfaces,” says Reponen.

Her advice? “Remediate any water

damage promptly to avoid mold problems. This is espe-cially important for families bringing a new baby into the home. And even more critical if there is a parental history of asthma.”

The study will be pub-lished in the Journal of Al-lergy and Clinical Immunol-ogy.

Hop on the bene� ts of cycling

If your bike is sitting in your garage collecting dust, it might be time for a gentle refresher on why two-wheeling for fitness is so great for you. In the current issue of Best Health magazine, Matthew Kadey explores some major life benefits of cycling.

1. You’ll be trim Cycling is a great calorie burner: A 130 pound woman cycling at a moder-ate pace for 30 minutes will torch around 240 calories. And according to a study in the American Jour-nal of Public Health, adults involved in active travel are less likely to be overweight.

2. It’s cheap and eco-friendly Save on gas while saving the environment. Map out a two-kilometre radius from your home in which you can do bike errands. Start by wheeling to your pharmacy or grocery store once a week, and then expand your radius for an extra challenge.

3. You’ll tame stress A 2011 Swedish study found that people who drive to work are more stressed and are in worse health than those who bike to work. Join a cycle club if you need the extra motiva-tion to get your endorphins pumping.

Public pools help with summer swelter, but infections could be lurking. MICHELLE SIU/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Swimmers should beware of bacteria

While many Canadians have turned to public pools this summer to seek relief from sweltering temperatures, ex-perts say steps can be taken to prevent pool-related maladies like athlete’s foot and plantar warts, as well as gastrointes-tinal infections that spread

through exposure to bacteria.Responsibility for disease

prevention, they say, lies both with those who main-tain pools as well as with swimmers themselves.

Shelley Beaudet, a senior environmental health offi-cer with Vancouver Coastal Health, says two of the big-gest pool-related ailments are infection by cryptosporidium and pseudomonas.

Cryptosporidium is spread when those with gastrointes-tinal problems like diarrhea use a pool. Pseudomonas, meanwhile, is a germ com-monly found in water or soil, and can cause a rash for those who swim in infected water.

Both cryptosporidium and pseudomonas are resistant to chlorine.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Take a flightIf flying makes you feel anx-ious and crave cigarettes, the European Lung Foundation and European Respiratory Society, they’re launching the world’s very first ‘in-flight smoking cessation card,’ an innovative health tool de-signed to help smokers dur-ing their smoke free flight, and encourage them to be-come smoke free for life.

The card provides help-ful information for travel-ers struggling with nicotine withdrawal throughout their journey. Tips can include walking down the aisle to distract your thoughts away from smoking and getting in some exercise, taking small sips of water to flush out your system, taking deep breaths to delay your cravings and dedicating your time up in the air to listing the benefits of becoming a non-smoker.

“This campaign will help smokers when they are most stressed and hopefully give them the support and encour-agement they need to make a positive decision about their smoking and therefore their health,” says Monica Fletcher, Chair of the European Lung Foundation.

“We all take stock of our lives and health when we break to go on holiday, and if we can put in people’s minds as they leave or fly back that they can be unstoppable

No smokes? How to copeSix months after leading in-fluenza scientists announced they would voluntarily halt research into what it takes to make bird flu viruses trans-mit among mammals, it’s still not clear when and how the cease-work order will be lifted.

Figuring out what an ac-ceptable path towards that end might be will likely oc-cupy considerable time and brain power as many of the researchers capable of doing this work meet in New York next week.

Several months ago many expected the research mora-torium would have been lift-ed by now. But it is becoming clear to the flu community that getting back to business as usual may not be an easy or quick task.

“I very much hope ... that no decision is made at that meeting,” microbiologist David Relman says of the an-nual gathering of the Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance.

“I think that would be a terrible mistake for this par-ticular sequestered private group to make a declaration

and decide on their own that the moratorium has been lifted. I think that would be a terrible thing.” The canadian press

without cigarettes then it will be a fantastic achievement.”

Hire a coach Fitness coaches are the norm but what about getting a smoking coach? iCoach (ex-smokers.eu), a digital health platform offered by the Ex-Smokers are Unstoppable campaign, gives expert ad-vice to those trying to quit smoking.

Fill out a questionnaire de-veloped by psychologists and clinical experts — it assesses your behavior, attitude and motivations towards smok-ing.

From there your coach will provide you with tailored feedback, advice and tech-niques suited to your indi-vidual needs and desire to remain smoke free. Since the start of the campaign, 168,000 people have signed up for iCoach. The stats also revealed the average smoker lacks confidence — so the

campaign motivates smok-ers with positive messaging, hence the iCoach and in-flight card.

Stay Motivated Why did you quit in the first place? Setting your emotions aside and thinking rationally will help you control your ac-tions.

Each time a craving hits, remind yourself why you stopped, says Dr. Armando Peruga, the Programme Man-ager of the World Health Organization’s Tobacco Free Initiative.

“The cost of smoking and the need to save money can motivate people to quit. If it comes to the point where you have to choose between buying cigarettes or food, you don’t have much of a choice,” she says.

“Love can also be a power-ful motivational tool. People who are doing it for the ones they love, rather than for

themselves, will have more strength when it comes to re-sisting temptation.”

And remember, cravings don’t last foreverCraving a cigarette is a bit like having a really bad head-ache — never ending, all con-suming and unbearable.

“Projecting your thinking into the future and imagin-ing how much better you will look and feel smoke free will help you ward off that craving,” says Dr. Peruga. “The trick is to not get over-whelmed. Resist for five to ten minutes and you’ll see that the feeling does pass.”

Best bets in booze

What’s a party (or an after-noon on the porch for that matter) without a couple of drinks?

Hey, some studies even show that there are heart protective benefits!

As usual, though, there’s a catch: Women should limit themselves to one drink per day, men can have 2. (Note: If, and only if, you can afford the calories without gaining weight.)

That means that you must pay attention to getting all of the

nutri-ents and calories

your body needs from food before adding the empty ones of booze.

So how many emp-ty calories in your best

bevvie? And how are you going to work it off ?

For each drink of the fol-lowing you have, you will need to walk very briskly (so you are out of breath the whole time) for:

• 1 light beer (12 oz) = 110 calories or 24 minutes

• 1 vodka/soda (1.5 oz shot) = 125 calories or 28 minutes

• 1 glass of wine (5 oz) = 125 calories or 28 minutes

• 1 beer (12 oz) = 146 cal-ories or 32 minutes

• 1 bloody caesar (1.5 oz shot + 5 oz clamato) = 156 calories or 35 minutes

• 1 vodka or gin/tonic (1.5 oz shot + 5 oz tonic) = 175 calories or 39 minutes

Life is nothing more (or less) than a series of tradeoffs. You get to decide which more and what less every day. It’s easy when you have all of the informa-tion. Theresa alberT is an auThor and nuTriTionisT in ToronTo. she is @TheresaalberT on TwiTTer and found daily aT myfriendinfood.com

Pregnant smoker, so what do I do?

Hello Charles,Recently, I was on the subway in Toronto and I observed a pregnant woman smoking. Yes, smoking. I wanted to pull that cigarette out of her hand, but also didn’t want to create a scene. What should I have done?Brian

Dear Brian,Wow! What seems like such a simple and obvious answer sure leaves us with some difficult questions.

First, I think it’s com-mon knowledge that smoking while pregnant is both dangerous to the unborn baby’s health as much as it is to the mother.

Back to how to deal with the situation? I would observe the mother; are you sure she is pregnant and not just overweight? If I felt it was safe to approach her and she was in fact pregnant, I might just quietly go up to the smoking mother and

say something like, “I’m very sorry to bother you, I see you are pregnant, Con-gratulations. If I may just say, are you aware of the dangers of smoking while being pregnant?”

And then, based on her answer, I would either continue the conversation or, if she clearly does not want to discuss it with you I would wish her all the best, and walk away. The one thing I know I would not do is create a scene, which never solves the problem.

Now that you have read my thoughts, I really want to hear back from you. I ask my fellow Canadians, what would you do and or say in this situation? I will publish some to the best answers and approaches in a future column.

Lets hope we never experience this.

Age gaps in relationships can cause unforeseen problems. iStock

There are real reasons why most couples are close in age

There’s no exact science as to the number of years re-quired between partners to ensure the success of a rela-tionship. However, it appears that most prefer a two to five-year gap, with the man (in a heterosexual relationship) being older. If a woman dates a much younger man, she’s often referred to as a cougar. Some might even say that her guy has a mommy complex.

So, why do the majority stay within the three-years-apart zone? Well, it stands to reason that if you’re born only a few years apart, that you might have more in com-mon. You’d both recognize the same pop icons, remem-ber the theme songs to the

same movies, be able to play “geography” if you both grew up in the same neighbour-hood and hung out with the same people.

Being only a few years apart also means that if you plan on having children together, that you are more likely to share the same or similar level of energy. Let’s face it, if your spouse is 12 years older than you, he may not be as playful or as ener-getic as you — and that ap-plies to times when you’re with the kids or frolicking without them.

And what about a shared lifestyle? If you marry a man 10 years your senior just be-cause you want someone whose more grounded, es-tablished and financially suc-cessful, you may bore of his work hours when you’re still wanting to travel the world barefoot and fancy-free.

And what about building a life together? There’s some-thing to be said for growing together, setting mutual goals and reaching for them as a couple. There is some-thing to be said for standing at the start line together as opposed to joining him half way through to the finish line.

A girl of 17, for example, who decides to settle down with a 25-year-old man may not know it at the time, but by the time she’s 25 and he’s 33, she’s likely matured, grown, even changed signifi-cantly more than her mate — potentially creating a discon-nection between them.

It’s obvious that my ex-perience as a couples’ ther-apist hasn’t led me to be convinced that a significant age gap between partners is a step in the right direction. This is not to say that it can’t work, just that it may not be the best predictor of success or compatibility.

More in common. Being of the same generation often means more shared experiences, goals and expectations

Car-sharing programs

Living carless and carefree

I’ve been living in the in-ner city for six weeks and have used my car a grand total of 11 times; three of which weren’t entirely necessary — I was running late for meetings.

Prior to moving down-town from suburbia, I’d tossed around the expen-sive idea of replacing my seven-year-old Volkswagon with a one-year-old hybrid. But now that I can walk to work, appointments, the grocery store and friends houses, I’m considering the exact opposite — a vehicle-free lifestyle.

The economic case for going carless is strong — no more car payments, maintenance bills, insur-ance fees, traffic jams, depreciation and parking expenses.

From an environmental perspective, less fuel is burned, and fewer automotive parts are manufactured and ultim-ately scrapped.

But, what happens when the carless person needs a vehicle?

I had such an experi-ence in July while I was enjoying a few days in Van-couver. I’d flown into town and taken the Canada Line into Yale Town. On day two, when it was pouring rain outside, I needed a car to run errands. Car2Go was my solution.

Car2Go is a commun-ity car-sharing program located in major cities throughout Europe and North America. Car2Go’s Smart Cars are parked throughout

a city and can be rented for as little time as a few minutes, for approximately $0.35 per minute or $13 per hour, up to a few days, for approximately $65 per day.

Once a member, if you see a Car2Go on the street or locate one online, you can grab it. No reservation required. There is a small one-time sign-up fee and the per minute, hour or day utilization fee includes fuel, parking, mileage, insurance, maintenance, GPS, cleaning, 24/7 custom-er support and roadside assistance.

In my case, paying $0.35 per minute works out to nearly the same cost, if not less, as driving my per-sonal vehicle when I take into account the total cost of car ownership.

ZipCar is another car-sharing service that allows you to borrow different models of vehicles for vary-ing rates that are competi-tive with Car2Go.

So, if you need a truck to move furniture, ZipCar has larger vehicle models in its fleet. ZipCar’s cars have to be returned to the same parking stall mean-while Car2Go vehicles can be dropped off in most designated zones (as deter-mined by Car2Go).

Modo is another option that allows a specific com-munity of people to use one vehicle within a coop. Under this model you buy into a share of the vehicle for a one-time refundable fee; typically $500 per per-son plus pay a usage rate.

With car-sharing options now available in most major cities in Canada, going carless is easy. To see how you can save money, compare the

programs in your community to the costs, and hassles, of owning your set of wheels.

Alison’s Money Rule. Fight food inflation with leftovers, planning, coupons and bulk buying

Drought in North America is causing grocery costs to rise. Istock Images

Four ways to head off higher grocery costs

YOUR MONEYAlison [email protected]

Bad news! You’re about to about to spend up to $2,000 more between now and the end of 2013. Initial projec-tions have food costs rising 5.5 to 7.5 per cent, thanks to the North American-wide drought.

According to the Alberta provincial Ministry of Agri-culture and Rural Develop-ment, a family of four aver-ages $800 monthly in basic grocery spending.

The increase will add from $704 to $960 to the grocery budget over the next 16 months.

This amount doesn’t include extras like condi-ments nor does it account for takeout or restaurant meals.

Add those in and fam-ilies will be paying at least $125 more monthly.

Don’t despair. Here are 4 ways to laugh at food in-flation.

1 Utilize leftoversLet your fridge dictate what the meal will be.

For instance, if you have half a pork roast and as-sorted veggies, stir fry the lot, cook up a pot of rice as a side dish and spice to taste.

Nutritious, tasty and fast! Keep track with a left-over log on the side of the fridge.

Best of bulk

Meat, canned goods and store brands offer the best bulk savings (USDA).

2 PlanPlan meals in advance to avoid last minute

grabs or takeout, which are expensive and often un-healthy. A menu plan makes it easier to shop for an en-tire period and integrate leftovers into the menu.

3 ClipIf you forget to clip or print coupons from the

web, check customer ser-vice in the store.

Clipping or surfing for coupons is also a great way

to involve young kids in shopping. Canadianfrees-tuff.com does a lot of the work for you with lists of printable and mailed cou-pons.

4 Buy in bulk Expect savings of 15 to 30 per cent on bulk

shopping for items like chicken, hamburger and cheese.

Then bulk up your cook-ing by intentionally creat-ing leftovers for dinner and brown bag lunches. How-

ever, carefully check your prices, 14 per cent of bulk purchases surveyed by the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture (USDA) actually cost more.

No room to store? Try splitting purchases with a friend.

Union to present league with alternative: FehrThe NHL Players’ Association is dreaming big.

Faced with an initial pro-posal in collective bargaining that held absolutely no ap-peal, NHLPA executive direc-tor Donald Fehr is proceeding as though it never happened.

Rather than quibbling over the fine points of the NHL’s offer, the union has chosen to re-imagine the league’s economic system in a proposal it will de-liver on Tuesday.

“What we expect to do tomorrow is to put forth an alternative view as to what we should do next,” Fehr said Monday. “That’s the best way I can put it.”

It’s a bold move with a Sept. 15 deadline looming for a lock-out. The initial offer from the NHL called for a lowering of

the players’ share in revenue and introduced new contract restrictions, among other things. There wasn’t one as-pect of it that appealed to the union, with one source saying the NHLPA felt it was designed to “anger and provoke” rather than kick-start meaningful dis-cussions.

Despite that, the union thoroughly examined it over the last month before deciding there was no true counter-pro-posal to be made. Fehr will in-stead offer up a “different kind

of an approach” — one that no doubt includes expanded revenue sharing and more flexibility than is currently al-lowed under the league’s rigid salary cap system.

Negotiations are about to pick up pace. Despite the fact the sides have been talking throughout the summer, they finally seem ready to get down to work.

“All things in this world at this stage of this negotiation are possible,” said Fehr.THE CANADIAN PRESS

After twice battling back from two-goal deficits and rallying to tie a third time in the final period, Canada ran out of steam against Russia in Hali-fax.

Andrei Sigarev scored his second goal of the game with 6:23 left to play as Russia edged Canada 6-5 in Game 3 of the Canada-Russia Hockey Chal-lenge on Monday night.

“Playing from behind is not the greatest feeling, but, ob-viously, it makes you play that much harder,” said Canadian forward Sean Monahan of the Ottawa 67s. “That’s something

that we did out there. We just weren’t capitalizing on the chances that we had.”

Russia now leads the four-game exhibition series 2-1 with the final game set for Tuesday night in Halifax. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Colorado Avalanche have signed goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere to a one-year con-tract extension.

The deal announced by the Avalanche on Monday will keep Giguere with the team through the 2013-14 season.

The 35-year-old Montreal native appeared in 32 games last season, his first with the Avalanche. He had the lowest goals-against average, 2.27, of any Colorado goaltender since David Aebischer in the 2003-04 season. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Janine Hanson simply could not stop smiling.

As the silver-medal-winning rower in Canada’s women’s eight boat arrived back home in London, Ont., on Monday, she was met by about a dozen supporters who gathered to greet the two-time Olympian after she stepped off a 4:11 p.m. connection flight from To-ronto’s Pearson airport.

“It’s nice to be able to share the medal with people, just to come home and see friends and family,” Hanson said, beaming.

Among the well-wishers was the Dew family. “She’s a part of our family,” Carla Dew said, proffering a gift of homemade bread and jam.

After a short embrace with family, Hanson flashed a big smile at Carla’s son, Mitchel. The two, though 18 years apart, are good buddies. They met six years ago through Autism London, and Hanson remains a

strong influence on Mitchel.She has taught him how to

swim and taken him on day trips, such as a tour of the Doug Wells Rowing Centre in London where the team trains.

But Hanson’s homecoming was bittersweet because she knows the current women’s

eight roster won’t be intact for much longer. Five of its nine members are 30 or older. Han-son and Ashley Brzozowicz will be passing the torch to a pair of 23-year-olds, Natalie Mastracci and Lauren Wilkinson.

Calling the big race a “good fight,” she says placing second

to the powerhouse Americans was a tremendous victory for the aging squad. And, with her boyfriend, family friends and Mitchel huddled around her, she summed up the crew’s performance overseas: “No regrets at all.”

It was a rock-star welcome for Burnaby, B.C., soccer star Christine Sinclair and her fellow Olympians Mon-day as they returned home after 16 days of highs and lows at the London Games.

More than 100 fans erupted in cheers as the 29-year-old flagbearer ap-peared, along with three of her teammates, Karina Le-

Blanc, Sophie Schmidt and Emily Zurrer, at Vancouver International Airport.

Sinclair told reporters it was great to be back home and share the bronze medal with fans and her family.

“To walk out in front of 80,000 screaming fans and carrying your country’s colours, it’s a moment I’ll never forget,” she said of the closing ceremony.

“I think I need to watch it on TV because I don’t even remember what happened.”

She’s hopeful that their accomplishments at the Games will increase awareness and support for women’s soccer.

It was also an emotional reunion for Sinclair and her mom, Sandra, who gave

each other a big hug. “I’m over the moon,” her

mom said. “I’m just glad to have her back.”

Weightlifter Christine Girard, open-water swim-mer Richard Weinberger and team-pursuit cyclist Jasmin Glaesser proudly showed off their bronze medals to the fans cheering them on.

Krista Guloien, a women’s eight rowing silver medallist, said seeing Team Canada’s supporters wel-come them was even bet-ter than watching the Spice Girls perform Sunday.

Andrew Munro, who helped Sinclair’s mom in coaching a young Christine and a South Burnaby team, said he knew she was bound

for greatness during the first practice and game.

“She was quite shy, but a great teammate,” said Munro, who coached and refereed Sinclair for five years. “She preferred other people scoring than herself. She could score probably 20 goals a game if she wanted to, but she tried to set up as many of the girls on her team as she could.

“I had tears in my eyes when I saw her carry the flag. It was like being a par-ent.”

Ottawa. Inspiring Olympians get a warm welcome from fans If the Ottawa police pipe-and- drum band wasn’t welcoming enough for local Olympians at the Ottawa International Air-port Monday, the onslaught of greetings from dozens of friends, family and fans cer-tainly was.

The sound from the pipes echoed through the hall as the athletes emerged from the customs gate one by one. Within seconds the fans drowned out the sound with loud cheers and applause.

Men’s 4x100 relay team-mates Oluwasegun (Segun) Makinde and Gavin Smellie were the first to come out.

The pair were all smiles, despite a disappointing per-formance just two days ago in London, when Canada was disqualified after fellow runner Jared Connaughton stepped over the inside lane.

“I was very disappointed,” said Smellie at the airport Monday. “We managed to pull ourselves together and keep our heads up and hope the best for the future.”

To see the number of people who showed up to wel-come him home was a big sur-prise for the 26-year-old.

With the silver medal from men’s eight rowing dangling from his neck, Canadian Con-lin McCabe said it felt “awe-some” to see many excited fans and media put a spot-light on his team.

“Coming from Brockville,

(Ont.), this never happens in our sport,” said McCabe, be-fore signing an autograph on a young boy’s T-shirt.

Emma Lis, an Ottawa South United Soccer Club player, didn’t know any of the athletes personally, yet she rushed to the airport just to see them arrive home.

“The saying for the Olym-pics this year was ‘inspire a generation,’ and I really feel that these athletes have done that,” said Lis, 19.

“I definitely want to make it to the Olympics one day, and the women’s soccer team especially proved that they were able to compete at such a high level. So it just opens the door for a lot of young athletes.” JOe lOfarO/metrO In Ottawa

Olympian Custio Clayton is reunited with his girlfriend, Charis Diggs, and his son, Kyreece, as he returns from the London Olympics to a hero’s welcome at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. jeff Harper/metro in Halifax

The moment the doors opened at Halifax Stanfield International Airport and re-vealed boxer Custio Clayton, the crowd erupted.

Clayton, from North Pres-ton, N.S., had a huge smile as his son was passed to him through the crowd and his friends and family presented

him with a medal.“This is crazy. I mean,

to come through here and see all these people here, it doesn’t get much better than that,” Clayton said.

A collection of a few hun-dred family members, friends and fans waited at the airport to greet their Olympic heroes Monday afternoon.

Along with Clayton, Nova Scotia’s Ellie Black, Geoff Harris, Jenna Martin and Danielle Dube returned home after an impressive showing at the Summer Games in London.

Clayton lost a controver-sial decision on a count back to Great Britain’s Freddie Evans in the quarter-finals. A win would have guaranteed him at least a bronze medal. But Clayton took the deci-

sion in stride and is looking forward to getting a chance to sit back and rest before getting back to the gym.

“To see all these people be-hind me even though I didn’t win a medal.... But deep down they believe in me and believe I won the medal and I believe I won the medal and that’s what’s important.”

Black, the 16-year-old gymnast from Halifax, came through the airport gates to

chants of “Ellie! Ellie! Ellie!”“It’s amazing,” she said

with tears in her eyes. “It is the best experience ever. Everyone’s here.”

Black’s strong perform-ance, particularly in vault, helped propel Team Canada to its first-ever team final in the Olympics and a Can-adian-best fifth-place finish.

Black said being in Lon-don was a great experience and that she will use what she learned there to help propel herself toward the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.

But for now, she just wants to get home and see those who didn’t make the trip to the airport.

“I can’t wait to get home and see my dog,” she said with a laugh.

Just the beginning?

Ellie Black, Custio Clayton and Geoff Harris all con-firmed that after some rest, they will set their sights on the Rio 2016 Olympics.

The closing ceremony was Canada’s most-watched event of the London Olympics.

An average of 7.5 million people tuned in to Sunday’s broadcast of the Summer Games finale.

That was more than the 6.4 million Canadians who watched the opening cere-mony.

Usain Bolt’s run to gold in the 100 metres was Canada’s most-watched sports event with an average of 6.2 million tuning in to both the English and French broadcasts of the

Aug. 5 race.The controversial

women’s soccer semifinal

between Canada and the U.S. was second with an average of 3.1 million tuning in.

Canada’s Olympic broadcast consortium said 31.9 million viewers tuned in to TV coverage between July 27 and Aug. 12. That’s up from the 24 million who watched the 2008 Beijing Olympics on CBC.

The broadcast consortium said 3.4 million hours of con-tent was viewed at CTVOlym-pics.ca and RDSolympiques.ca, while more than 1.1 million mobile apps were downloaded.tHe CanaDIan PreSS

Tough to compare

While the Canadian rat-ings for London outpaced the Beijing Games four years ago, it’s difficult to compare the two because a new ratings-measurement system was introduced in 2009 that has seen sports TV ratings skyrocket.

Yesterday’s crossword

Yesterday’s Sudoku

How to playFill in the grid, so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1-9. There is no math involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.

Aries March 21 - April 20 Whatever else you do today, you must not take sides in a dispute. Power planet Pluto warns that even if you pick the winning side, you will lose out in ways you had not expected. Stay neutral — it’s safer.

Taurus April 21 - May 21 No matter how successful you have been in your career, you can’t shake the feeling that you could have done even better. Maybe it’s true, maybe you could, but there’s still today and tomorrow.

Gemini May 22 - June 21 For some reason, you have got it into your head that a friend or colleague is trying to take advantage of you. Most likely it is your imagination playing tricks on you. Master your mind, don’t let it master you.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 Use your powers of persua-sion to convince a friend or relative that what they are worrying themselves silly about is not worth the effort. And after you have convinced them, you might like to do the same for yourself.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 The message of the stars today is that you have taken on too much and need to cut back on your commitments. You may not want to let people down but the fact is your health must come first.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 A friend or colleague will suggest something today that sounds really good, but because you are worried about your money situation you may let it pass. Mistake! It could be the cash cow you’ve been looking for.

Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Other people may think that a certain course of action is wrong but you don’t have to agree with them. Only you can decide what is “right” and “wrong” in your life, so don’t give that power away.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 You will achieve more in the long-term if you deal with people one-to-one than if you try to get your message over to large groups. Use your Scorpio charm (yes it does exist!) to get what you need.

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 It may be that your options are limited but they are not so limited that you have to sit back and let fate turn you this way and that. Make a decision today and stick with it. Show fate you’re the boss.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 You have big ideas and big plans, but are you ever going to do anything with them? The planets urge you to stop thinking so much and actually start working. A little bit each and every day is all that is needed.

Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 No matter how much pressure you come under from influential people, you must not betray your principles. If you back off even a little bit now you will end up backing off a lot later on.

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 It may be true that some people are not pulling their weight but don’t make a big deal of it. Ignore what they are doing (or not doing) and focus on your own activities — that’s what will make the difference.SALLY BROMPTON
