Proposal for the all-glass, four-pad arena will likelybe shelved There is $34 million set aside, earmarkedin 2002 Other projects could grab funds

Michael C. Hall opens up onkeeping cancer a secret {page 16}

A proposed $88-million all-glass stackedfour-pad arena on the waterfront willalmost certainly be shelved during budgetdeliberations next month because the citydoesn’t have the money to pay for it.

It is unclear if any part of the plan canbe salvaged — even though there’s $34million set aside for a sports or recreationfacility, first earmarked in 2002.

Nearly a decade later, debate is going tobegin again on how to spend that money.

“We believe the funding could go forrecreational uses in the central waterfront,such as the Martin Goodman Trail,” saidMichelle Noble, a spokesperson for Water-front Toronto, but the agency will need tohave conversations with the city.

Coun. Paula Fletcher, who representsthe area, wants to see something new

built. She said if an arena is not viable, thecity should consider other recreation cen-tres.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The drawing board

The city decided to take the lead on the proj-ect in 2008 — but the waterfront design re-view panel balked at a proposal for asprawling four-pad arena.So it was back to the drawing board for aglittering stacked design that would occupyless land, but cost more.The funding was short by at least $30million, but council in its final meeting ofthe last term approved the project.

City issues another extremecold alert as chill returnsThe City of Toronto has is-sued another extreme coldweather alert.

During this time, streetoutreach workers try toconvince homeless people

to go inside and they pro-vide them with transporta-

U of T won’t be taking ondebt to build housing forordinary students anymore.

Instead, the campus isopening its lands to a tow-ering private residence thatwill mainly house wealthyforeign students who flockto the prestigious school.

“Universities today, thefunding situation meansthat we have to focus all ofour resources on our coreresearch, teaching and serv-ices for students. Buildingresidences is really not fea-sible for publicly supported

institutions,” said Lucy Fro-mowitz, the University ofToronto’s assistant vice-president of student life.

The university has leaseda piece of land it owns onCollege Street, just east ofSpadina, to a private devel-oper who purchased the ad-jacent lot and is proposingto build a luxurious $120-million residence for morethan 1,000 students.

It will be one of the firstfor-profit residences builton university land, al-though Fromowitz stresses

it is not a partnership, atleast not in the legal sense.“But we do consider thatwe’re working together toaccommodate students’needs,” she said.

Fromowitz said thehousing will serve interna-tional students and, to a

lesser extent, graduate andout-of-province students.

“International studentswill come to U of T becauseof the status of the universi-ty, the research intensity,”said Fromowitz. But shesaid a secondary considera-tion for foreign students,and their parents, is safety.“We need facilities that aresafe and clean and purpose-built so they are filled withstudents.”

It may be all that, but itwill also be expensive.David Lehberg, CEO of de-

veloper Knightstone Capi-tal Management, said theagreement he has with theuniversity will allow him tocharge as much as U of T’smost expensive bed.

That price is currentlyabout $15,000 a year for thebest room at ChestnutHouse, a highrise near Uni-versity and Dundas streetsthat offers weekly cleaning,a television lounge on the27th floor, music roomsand a gym.

The city is reviewing theproject. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

It won’t be exclusively for U of T use and rates per room will be set by building owners: School“Our funding(situation) meansthat we really haveto look for otheropportunities.”LUCY FROMOWITZ, U OF T

Toronto Police are calling arecent late-night assault inthe Gay Village a hatecrime, stoking concerns theneighbourhood is no longersafe.

Ryan Lester, 30, waskicked in the face andcalled “faggot” while get-ting a post-bar snack atMehran Restaurant onChurch Street early Jan. 22.His 24-year-old brother,Ben, suffered deep bruiseson his back and had to go tothe dentist to repair a bro-ken molar.

The beating comes onthe heels of allegations thatlocal students from Jarvis

Collegiate have been hurl-ing slushies, ice and homo-phobic slurs at residents inthe Gay Village.

While one victim be-lieves the slushie incidentwas a crime of opportunity,Lester said he used to have

a sense of security in theGay Village, but the recentincidents have him onedge.

“I think all of us (nowhave) a false sense of securi-ty in the village. I thoughtof it as an inherently safespace. If you have a prob-lem with gay people, youjust don’t go there,” Lestersaid.

Eoin McManus, 21, andBenjamin McCall, 21, bothof Toronto, have each beencharged with two counts ofassault and one count ofmischief after breaking therestaurant’s front window.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

“You are the owners ofthis revolution. You are thefuture,” ElBaradei told thecrowd after nightfall. “Ouressential demand is the de-parture of the regime andthe beginning of a newEgypt in which everyEgyptian lives in virtue,freedom and dignity.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If it’s still the economy,stupid, this might be asmart time for StephenHarper to call a springelection.

Expect ballot-box feverto climb a few degrees to-day when MPs return toOttawa from their extend-ed Christmas break. Butanalysts point out thereare only two good reasonsto pull the plug before thecompletion of a govern-ment’s mandate.

The first is the expecta-tion of a substantial pick-up of seats for the partytriggering it, and the sec-ond is that things will onlyget worse by waiting.

With polls showing thefirst is unlikely for any of

the parties, the prime min-ister has been adamant insaying he does not want avote — although he hasdone his best to sow the

seeds for one, flooding theairwaves with attack adsand sending out his troopson stump-style announce-ment stops.

But the second condi-tion may persuade Harperthat this spring is prefer-able to the next, particu-larly as October’smandated provincial elec-tion in Ontario likely pre-cludes a fall campaign onthe federal side.

Pollster Allan Gregg ofHarris-Decima said theeconomy remains upper-most in voters’ minds, andthis spring may be themost advantageous timefor Harper to campaign onbread-and-butter issues.THE CANADIAN PRESS

her mom yelled.Over the years, the Toronto-

based actor, director, andfounder of Theatre Archipelagobegan to make sense of hermother’s reaction. As they sat infront of the TV, watching steelpan musicians compete forprizes amounting to tens ofthousands of dollars, her momwould say, “Man, pan has come a

long way.”Then the stories would come

forth. Her mom as a young girl,getting caught up in the steelpan “clashes” of the late 1940sand early 1950s, in whichcompeting steel pan orchestraswould attack each other on thestreets. Her cousin lost an eye inone of the clashes, and returned,only to lose her glassreplacement eye in another.

These stories, and the idea tocreate a play, inspired Spencer tostudy the history of the steelpan.

Now recognized worldwide asmusicians, steel pan players usedto be seen as thugs. They werefrom “behind the bridge,”Trinidad’s version of the “wrongside of the tracks” — the poorneighbourhoods to the east ofthe capital city, Port of Spain.

During the Second World

War, when American troopswere stationed on the island andcarnival was banned, the musi-cians would practise incompounds in the slums. Theywould steal garbage cans andlids from middle-class families,or use tire hubs, brake drums orbiscuit pans to use as percussioninstruments.

During that time, a mantrying to fix his brokenkettledrum realized he was mak-ing different notes in hisattempt to bend the drum backinto shape.

Soon, others wereexperimenting with the earlyversions of the steel pan.

After the war, the differentsteel pan orchestras formed,naming themselves after Holly-wood movies like Casablanca,and Destination Tokyo. Theywere made up of poor and unem-

ployed Trinidadians, whoclashed in violent confrontationslike the ones Spencer’s mom gotcaught up in.

But over time, with the helpof an inspirational prime minis-ter, and worldwide recognitionof steel pan musicians, the mu-sic started to lose its connectionto violence. And Spencer’s momlet her watch them.

•••To kick off Black History

Month, Spencer is giving a talkthis Wednesday called RhythmAnd Rebellion — How The SteelPan Started at the ElmbrookPark (10:30 a.m.) and theDanforth-Coxwell (2 p.m.) publiclibraries.

Rhoma Spencer was ecstat-ic to be helping push alongthe float of a steel panband in carnival for the firsttime in her native Trinidad.She was only 13 years old.

How can I be happy?You should never lookfor a person to makeyou happy. No one canmake you happy first.No one can take youfrom a miserable stateof being, and make youhappy.

If you are waiting forsomeone to make youhappy you are going tobe disappoint-ed.

You shouldmerely befinding some-one that com-pletes you orcomplimentsyou. See, ifyou focus onyour own per-sonal happiness, yourown personal growththen you yourselfbecome happy. Findinghappiness then is notas much of a challengefor you.

I think one of thebest ways to do this isto revert to the old-fashion way of commu-nicating.

Reduce your use ofemails and texting to

your significant other. Get back to talking,

by leaving voicemessages. That clearsup a lot of confusionbecause texting/email-ing has no emotion.

All you can do is puta smiley face with it, orcapitalize the message,and often times thosethings can be taken

wrong. You’ve got to

get back to somebasic ways ofcommunicating,especially face-to-face meetings.

What could theworld at large do,collectively, to

make the planet a betterplace? There is only oneanswer for that. Ifeverybody had awonderful relationshipwith their creator, theirGod, it would makeeverything better.

I unfortunately don’tthink that is ever goingto happen, but that isthe only solution Ihave.

I’m busy but also always seemto have time to goof offonline. So how do I freemyself from distraction?Create space in your life. Cancel a few commit-ments, add space into yourschedule, get rid of someto-do items and focus onfewer projects. Make spaceto breathe, to reflect, tofind solitude, to create. It’s

one of the most importantthings you can do.

What can the world at largedo, collectively, to free itself?Promote minimalism. It’snot a life where you livewith as little as possible.It’s a life where the focusisn’t on consuming andspending, but on connect-ing with others — creating,

enriching your life and thelives of others. It’s also alife where we consume lessand have less of an impacton the Earth.

LEO BABAUTATHE CREATOR OF ZEN HABITS, A BLOG WITH 200,000 VISITORS,BABAUTA URGES READERS TO SIMPLIFY THEIR LIVES. HIS LAT-EST BOOK, FOCUS, IS “ABOUT FINDING SIMPLICITY IN THIS AGEOF DISTRACTION.” THERE’S A FREE VERSION AVAILABLE ATFOCUSMANIFESTO.COM.

How can I find time to focuson happiness?Experiment with a low-costvirtual assistant (VA). Whatwould you do if you havethree-day weekends for therest of your life? If you cansave just eight hours perweek with a VA, that’seffectively what you’vedone. If you make $50,000per year, you make approx-

imately $25/hour,assuming two weeks of va-cation annually. Just cutthe last three zeroes off ofyour income and halve theremaining number to esti-mate your hourly income.

If you find someone for$5 per hour, that is a mini-mum 400 per cent return-on-investment, not tomention your newfound

free time. Time is yourmost valuable, non-renew-able resource. Check outtryasksunday.com orelance.com for options.

In the book, you sound bliss-fully happy. Where can I getsome of that?The best thing you can doto find happiness — thebest thing you can do tofind anything, really — isto give it away. Happinessisn’t something thathappens to you; it’s a men-tal decision that someone

has to make. If you’re looking forsomething to be hap-py about, you canusually find it. If youtry to bring a smile toothers, then you’ll endup smiling yourself.But if you expect theworld to make youhappy, then that usually

won’t workbecause there is no worldoutside your consciousness.

Rob Lowe is shaking thingsup in his career and so farthe moves are paying off.

The 46-year-old hasa new filmcalled I MeltWith You,which de-buted at theSundanceFilm Festivalthis pastweek. He leftthe ABC dra-ma Brothersand Sisterslast springand joinedNBC’s Thurs-day-night sit-com Parksand Recre-ation. He al-so has aguest spot onthe new sea-son of Show-time’sCalifornica-tion. And ontop of allthat, he’s re-leasing amemoir in

May. “At the moment, I feelreally fulfilled,” Lowe says,but is also aware show busi-

ness can be a roller-coasterride. “The thing about along career is you gothrough periods whereyou’re unfulfilled, you gothrough periods whereyou’re hot and you’re cold.If you’re lucky enough tostick around, you gothrough all of it.”

I Melt With You is abouta group of guy friends whoget together for a yearlybonding weekend. The tripturns serious when theyopen up and begin to ques-tion the way their liveshave unfolded.

The film has receivedmixed reviews at Sun-dance, which Lowe says isfine with him. “So much ofour business today is safe,”he says. “They’ll sacrificequality, humour, drama,budget, you name it, andthrow it under the bus toadd one more set of eye-balls. This movie doesn’t.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After five seasons andcountless victims, MichaelC. Hall has gotten used toplaying serial killer-killingserial killer Dexter Mor-gan on Dexter.

And after the announce-ment a year ago that he wasundergoing treatment forlymphoma, Hall is gettingused to being cancer-free.He spoke with Metro about

keeping his health prob-lems a secret, playing a so-ciopath and why the deathand dismemberment ofDexter doesn’t bother him.

Your cancer is fully in remis-sion, but is it true you didn’ttell anyone on the showabout it at first? I found out about it whilewe were shooting the 10thof 12 episodes of the fourthseason. Everybody is ex-hausted at that point, so if Iseemed tired, I don’t thinkit seemed suspicious. … I

wanted to get as much in-formation as possible andmake as many decisions aspossible before I let any-one know about it.

But because I had somepersonal appearances, Iknew people would askquestions about my eye-brow-lessness.

Is it fair to say Dexter doesn’tfeel emotions?I think we’remeant to be sus-picious of Dex-ter’s claim at thebeginning thathe doesn’t havethe capacityfor emotion.

Do you see himas a villain or ahero?There’s a sortof magical fan-tastical elementto the show and tothe world of theshow — to see him asa person.

Did you everconsideryourself asqueamish per-son, and hasthat changed?Not really, no.If we had realsevered bodyparts, I wouldlose my lunchas soon as any-body. But if Iknow that it’sfake, I can really appreciatehow much I can endow itwith reality.

When you watch the showyourself, are you critical orcan you enjoy it?Both. I watch it as we’remaking it.

What kind of attention doyou get from people in pub-lic? Some people say, “Youknow, if you run out of peo-ple to kill, I have... (laughs).And I stop them. I don’twant to know. And you

don’t want to tell me, notthat I’m going to kill them.Just don’t go there.

Both genders wereequally likely to go withtheir spouse or significantother, according to the pollconducted by GfK RoperPublic Affairs and Corpo-rate Communications.

Giving up a pet for anyreason can be really tough

— unless you are the own-ers of Princess the canineescape artist.

David Rosenthal and hisfamily in Missouri City,Tex., were ready with whatthey considered an idealfenced backyard when theywelcomed the two-year-oldAmerican Eskimo from ashelter. Then things wentleft.

“She kept getting away,”he said. “It would usuallytake about an hour or so tocorral her.”

Even worse, the 49-year-old Rosenthal discovered

the hard way that thebushy sago palm plants inthe backyard were poison-ous to dogs. Princess sam-pled them and nearly died.

“Plus, she was nipping atkids,” said Rosenthal. So offPrincess went, back to theshelter. “It was sad but weknew there was alreadysomebody there to adopther.” The Rosenthals nowhave two other dogs.

LARRY CROWE/ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Not only is chili a great cold weather meal, it’s also perfect for Super Bowl parties.

Ingredients:• 750 g (1 1/2 lb) pork ten-derloin, cut into 2.5-cm (1-inch) chunks• 750 g (1 1/2 lb) flank steak,cut into 1-cm (1/2-inch)strips• 10 ml (2 tsp) cumin• 5 ml (1 tsp) cinnamon• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) cayenne pep-per• 10 ml (2 tsp) smokedpaprika

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) chili powder• 15 ml (1 tbsp) instant cof-fee powder• 5 ml (1 tsp) mustard pow-der• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground gin-ger• 5 ml (1 tsp) garlic powder• 30 ml (2 tbsp) canol oil• 2 yellow onions, diced• 4 cloves garlic, minced• 500 g (1 lb) ground buffalo• 1 bottle (341 ml/12 oz) Co-rona or other pale beer

• 1 can (796 ml/28 oz) dicedtomatoes• 1 can (398 ml/14 oz)crushed tomatoes• 250 ml (1 cup) beef broth• 5 ml (1 tsp) liquid smoke• Rinds from chunks ofParmesan cheese (optional)• 30 ml (2 tbsp) lime juice• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) hot sauce(more or less to taste)• Salt and ground pepper• Sour cream, to serve• Chopped fresh cilantro

This All-or-Nothing chili isworthy of serving on afreezing day or at a SuperBowl party.

The chili starts with anintense base of toasted sea-sonings, some classics,some not — cumin, cinna-mon, cayenne, smoked pa-prika, instant coffee,mustard powder, gingerand garlic powder. Fromthere, you build up. First,with some oil and onionthen fresh garlic.

Once you have some se-rious flavour going, it’stime to turn to the star —the meat. But why settlefor just one? This recipecombines chopped flanksteak, shredded pork ten-derloin and, for goodmeasure, ground buffalo.

Once the meat starts tobrown, in go the cannedtomatoes, liquid smoke, abit of beef broth, a beerand a couple rinds fromParmesan cheese.

That last one isn’t an es-sential ingredient, and it

really only works if youhappen to have rinds kick-ing around the refrigera-tor. But if you do havesome, letting them sim-mer in the chili effortlesslyadds an incredible rich,savoury flavour.

Preparation:

1 In a food processor,combine porktenderloin and flanksteak. Pulse untilchopped but notground. Set aside.

2 In a large, dry stockpotover medium heat, com-bine cumin, cinnamon,cayenne, paprika, chilipowder, coffee powder,mustard, ginger andgarlic powder. Toast sea-sonings, stirringconstantly, untilfragrant. Transferseasonings to smallbowl and set aside.

3 Return stockpot to burn-er over medium-high.

Add oil and heat, thenadd onion. Sauté untilonion is just tender, 3 to4 minutes. Add garlicand sauté for anotherminute.

4 Add chopped pork ten-derloin, flank steak andground buffalo. Cookuntil meat begins tobrown, 6 to 8 minutes.

5 Add reserved spiceblend, beer, both cans oftomatoes, beef broth,liquid smoke andParmesan rinds, if using.Bring to a simmer, thenreduce heat to maintaina gentle bubble. Coverand cook, stirring occa-sionally, for 30 minutes.

6 Spoon out and discardParmesan rinds. Stir inlime juice and hot sauce,then season with saltand pepper. Servetopped with sour creamand cilantro.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If you’re like most people, you’ll often spend hours doing research, checking fl yers, looking for specials, and running from one store to another to make sure you get the best possible price on everyday items such as; clothes, electronics, furniture, and even groceries. Nothing beats the thrill of knowing you paid less for something by shopping at one place instead of the other, right? It all adds up – the time you invest and knowing where to go to get the best deals could end up saving you a bundle in the long run.

When Was The Last Time You Shopped for Car Insurance?

Sadly, even the smartest shoppers often don’t spend nearly the same amount of time and energy shopping for car insurance as they do for other items. After all, car insurance can be confusing, it never goes “on sale” (it only seems to get more expensive), it isn’t much “fun” to buy, and it seems like no one place always has the best prices. But what if one place compared the rates from over 30 insurance companies? And what if it would only take about 10 minutes? And what if you could end up saving hundreds, or eventhousands of dollars? This is where InsuranceHotline.com can help by providing a free unbiased rate comparison service for your driving profi le that can connect you with the lowest rate available through our large network of licensed brokers and agents.

Don’t Be Fooled By Others Offering To “Compare Quotes”

Unlike most of its competitors, InsuranceHotline.com does not sell insurance, is not a licensed broker or agent, and is not ownedin whole or in part by an insurance company. This allows InsuranceHotline.com to be unbiased when providing insurance quotes and keeps its focus solely on fi nding lower insurance rates for consumers. By contrast, most websites offering to “compare insurance quotes” are owned by or affi liated with insurance brokers or agents and are therefore only capable of quoting rates from the limited number of insurance companies they represent, typically no more than 4 or 5.

PROBLEM: I’m all for the envi-ronment, but don’t like itwhen people get so strictabout it. SOLUTION: Me too. All thatgloom-and-doom and mor-alizing about polar bearsdoesn’t change people’sbehaviour. It’s time westart talking about howgreen issues can help peo-ple get what they want.Like the time I had myreusable FilterForGood wa-ter bottle with me on thesubway and this hot chickwas so impressed that shegave me her phone num-ber and told me to call herfor a date. Speaking of wa-ter, check out mycampaign onfilterforgood.com.

PROBLEM: Thinking about theenvironment makes me feelguilty. SOLUTION: Here’s my phi-losophy: If the greenchoices require me to sac-

rifice, I just don’t makethem. My sole mission inlife is not to reduce myeco-impact to zero. I haveother priorities, like youtoo. With that said, I’mtyping this article on oneof the most energyefficient laptops available(see epeat.net); I’m dressedin stylish clothing made

from recycled materials(see nau.com, which shipsworldwide); and I’m wear-ing high-performanceboots from Timberlandmade with eco-friendlymaterials. Green is notabout sacrifice — it’sabout embracing innova-tion.

PROBLEM: I’m into beinggreen, but I already recycle,turn off the water whenbrushing my teeth, etc.What’s next?SOLUTION: All sorts ofamazing choices. In manycountries, you can get so-lar panels for your homethrough a zero-moneydown lease. There are web-sites that will pay you torecycle your unwantedelectrical goods. And othersites help you rent or bor-row almost everything youneed. It’s called Freecycle;just Google it and start sav-ing. METRO

Amattress is abig purchasenot to be tak-en lightly,given thenumber of

all that easy to dispose ofeither.

Natural fibres arethe best. Options formattresses (andpillows and bedding)include wool, silk,hemp, organ-ic cotton andnatural latex.Avoiding syn-thetic fabricsand fibres de-rived frompetrochemi-cals, likepolyurethanefoam, alsoeliminatesconcernsabout off-gassing ofvolatileorganic com-pounds(VOCs).

Natural options meanyou needn’t lose sleepworrying about mites andfire resistance either!Conventional mattressestackle these with chemi-cal treatments and toxiccompounds, but wool nat-urally repels dust mitesand natural latex foam isfire-resistant.

Addressing mat-tress eco-friendlinesswouldn’t be com-plete withoutmentioning PBDEs.

These are a group ofsyntheticchemicalsadded as fireretardants.PBDEs arenotproduced inCanada butare import-ed by manu-facturersand in con-sumer prod-ucts (e.g.,televisions,furniture,carpets, andcurtains).Mattresses

made in Canada generallydo not contain theseflame retardants, but it isalways good to ask. Also,avoid additives used to re-pel stains and water.

Us, unplugged

Susan Maushart lived outevery parent’s fantasy: Sheunplugged her teenagers.

For six months she tookaway the Internet, TV,iPods, cellphones andvideo games. The eerieglow of screens stoppedlighting up the familyroom. Electronic devicesno longer chirped throughthe night like “evil crick-ets.” And she stopped car-rying her iPhone into thebathroom.

The result of what shegrandly calls “The Experi-ment” was more OMGthan LOL — and nothingless than an immersion inRL (real life).

As Maushart explains ina book released in the U.S.this week called The Win-ter of Our Disconnect, sheand her kids rediscoveredsmall pleasures — likeboard games, books, lazySundays, old photos, fami-ly meals and listening tomusic together instead ofeveryone plugging intotheir own iPods.

Her son Bill, a videogame and TV addict, filledhis newfound spare timeplaying saxophone.

“He swapped GrandTheft Auto for the CharlieParker songbook,”Maushart wrote. Bill saysThe Experiment was mere-ly a “trigger,” and hewould have found his way

back to music eventually.Either way, he got so seri-ous playing sax that whenthe gadget ban ended, hesold his game console andis now studying music incollege.

Maushart’s eldest, Anni,was less wired and morebookish than the others,so her transition in andout of The Experiment wasthe least dramatic. Herfriends thought the banwas “cool.” If she neededcomputers for schoolwork,she went to the library.Even now, she swears off

Facebook from time totime, just for the heck ofit.

Maushart’s youngestdaughter, Sussy, had thehardest time going off thegrid. Maushart had decid-ed to allow use of the In-ternet, TV and otherelectronics outside thehome, and Sussy immedi-ately took that option, tak-ing her laptop and movingin with her dad —Maushart’s ex-husband —for six weeks. Even aftershe returned to Maushart’shome, she spent hours ona landline phone as a sub-stitute for texts and Face-book.

But the electronic depri-vation had an impact any-way: Sussy’s gradesimproved substantially.Maushart wrote that herkids “awoke slowly fromthe state of cognitus inter-ruptus that had character-ized many of their wakinghours to become more fo-cused logical thinkers.”

Maushart decided to un-plug the family becausethe kids — ages 14, 15 and18 when she started TheExperiment — didn’t just“use media,” as she put it.They “inhabited” media.“They don’t remember atime before email, or in-stant messaging, orGoogle,” she wrote.

A working mom takes her family off the grid for sixmonths, and lives to tell the tale

Author Maushart says she realizes that living off the grid for six months isunrealistic for most people, but encourages families to unplug periodically.

FLICKR: FRAMING THE WORLD

The Experiment

The unplugging ofMaushart’s family beganwith drastic changes.

Initially Maushart turnedoff the electricitycompletely for a fewweeks — candles insteadof electric lights, no hotshowers, food stored in acooler of ice.

Maushart’s is a lifelongdevotee of Henry DavidThoreau’s classic bookWalden, which chronicledThoreau’s sojourn in soli-tude and self-sufficiency ina small cabin on a pond inthe mid-1800s.

What is it about girls andhorses?

Whether raised as coun-try or city girls there issomething about the graceand elegance of the noblehorse that tends to appealto females of all ages.

They apparently are al-so excellent listeners.

Kayleigh was only 12when she gave up on tradi-tional counselling and started to break down.

“My Mom has depres-sion and anxiety and Iwalked in on her trying tokill herself so that’s prettyhard to deal with whenyou’re about 10 years old.After that I kind of shutdown,” she said softly.

“So I went to Sue at 12,talking about my Mom.Then when I was 14 myparents were getting di-vorced and then it was,

‘Now what?”’“I’m perfect now,” she

said with a giggle.

“Sue” is Sue McIntosh,who set up HealingHooves near the tiny com-munity of Cremona,northwest of Calgary,more than a decade agoand practises Equine Facil-itated Wellness and Ani-mal Assisted Therapy.

Since then more than athousand troubled teens,most of them girls, havediscovered that while it isnext to impossible to talk

about your demons — ahorse can work wonders.

“I knew that horses had

helped me as a teenagerand I couldn’t have gotthrough being a teenagerwithout my horse and Iknew even as an adult myhorse is what kept mesane,” said McIntosh witha smile.

“I just wanted to sharethat with people and I wasvery interested in psychol-ogy and just wanted tohelp people.”

About 60 per cent of the

clientele are referralsfrom social services andthe remainder from pri-vate placements.

They all have one thingin common.

They are looking forways to deal with theirpersonal problems thattraditional counsellingcould not provide.

“You sit there and theymake you draw pictures orthey ask you to try andidentify things throughtoys. You don’t want to bethere anyway but youknow you’re there to talkbut you don’t want totalk,” sighed Kayleigh.

“The minute I got onthat horse I was a totallydifferent person. It’s quiteamazing.”

McIntosh said a laid-back approach and timespent with the horses canget her clients to open up.Often her approach is seenas a “last resort” for kidswho have had bad experi-ences with traditionalcounselling.

“We need to be lettingsomeone take care of us.We need to be resting withsomeone who cares aboutus and who we trust. Thatpeace seems to be missingfrom so many peopleslives.”

Tracey, 19, said thehorses are “really calmcreatures.”

“If you spend a lot oftime with them they’lllearn to trust you and youcan pretty well do any-thing you want,” she saidwhile sitting bareback onSky, who was casuallymunching a wad of hay.THE CANADIAN PRESS

A professor is advocatingthe importance of hand-washing, and how it cango a long way toward keep-ing students healthy, aftera study on preventingschool-based gastrointesti-nal outbreaks was con-ducted.

Prof. Marilyn Lee, whoteaches in Ryerson Univer-sity’s School of Occupa-tional and Public Health,says that lack of hand-washing and improperfood handling are two of

the major reasons for thespread of the uncomfort-able symptoms associatedwith gastrointestinal up-sets.

In the confined space ofa classroom, gastrointesti-nal illnesses can spreadquickly, Lee said in an in-terview from Guelph, Ont.

Typically, gastrointesti-nal illnesses are short-livedand their symptoms –cramps, fever, vomitingand diarrhea – don’t re-quire medical treatment.Some children, however,require hospitalizationand even, in the case of E.coli contamination, candie from their condition.

Lee and epidemiologistJudy Greig of the PublicHealth Agency of Canadasearched reports publishedbetween 1998 and 2008 toidentify the cause of a gas-trointestinal outbreak,how the infection wastransmitted, the numberof children affected, mor-tality rates, and controland prevention measures.

Co-author Greig and Leelooked at an estimated 500articles before narrowingthem down to 121 out-breaks that met all the cri-teria. About one-third ofthe reports were from

North America (40) - most-ly from the U.S., with threefrom Canada - 39 from Eu-rope, 39 from Asia and theremainder from SouthAmerica and the MiddleEast. Slightly more than

half of the outbreaks in-volved bacterial infections(51 per cent) or viral infec-tions (40 per cent). The restwere caused by one ormore parasites. In almosthalf of the cases, transmis-

sion was identified as be-ing food-borne (45 percent), followed by person-to-person (16 per cent), wa-ter-borne (12 per cent) andvia animal contact (11 percent). THE CANADIAN PRESS

Raptors at Pacers7 p.m. TV: SportsnetRadio: Fan 590

At 11 games, theRaptors (13-35) are onthe fifth-longestlosing streak infranchise history aftera 103-87 thumpingSaturday night atMinnesota. Six ofthose loses have beenby six points or less,but they shot aseason-low .337 (34-of-101) from the fieldagainst theTimberwolves. Toron-to has lost five in arow at Indiana.

The Pacers (17-27)will be playing theirfirst game underinterim head coachFrank Vogel after JimO’Brien was firedyesterday. Thechange was madeafter Indiana fell 110-98 at Chicago onSaturday, the club’sseventh loss in eightgames. Vogel waspromoted fromassistant coach withthe team.

Tiger Woods began a newyear with his worst seasondebut. Woods failed tobirdie a par 5 for the secondtime this week and closedwith a 3-over 75 yesterdayin the Farmers InsuranceOpen, ending his five-tour-nament winning streak atTorrey Pines with a middle-of-the-pack finish.

“I have some work to

do,” Woods said. “There’sno doubt about that.”

He had never finishedout of the top 10 in the PGATour event at Torrey Pines.

Woods has ‘work to do’after rough beginning

Eric Staal and his CarolinaHurricanes teammateswere unable to capitalizeon home-ice advantage andthe NHL’s all-star game wasunable to live up to thehype created by its new for-mat.

The Hurricanes captaindid his best by scoringtwice yesterday, but TeamLidstrom walked away withan 11-10 victory.

There were no standoutperformances or real buzz

moments — somethingthat was in large supplyduring Friday’s draft andSaturday’s skills competi-tion.

Anze Kopitar and DannyBriere led the way for TeamLidstrom with two goalsapiece. Dustin Byfuglien,Loui Eriksson, Matt Duch-ene, Steven Stamkos,Jonathan Toews, Marty St.Louis and Loui Erikssoneach had one.

Staal and Kris Letang

each had two goals forTeam Staal while AlexOvechkin, Paul Stastny, Pa-trik Elias, Claude Giroux,Patrick Sharp and RickNash had the others.

The league went with adifferent format this year— putting the power in thehands of the players by hav-ing captains Staal and Nick-las Lidstrom select theteams.

As in years past, the in-tensity didn’t pick up until

the minutes wound down.There were countless

odd-man rushes and somenice goals, none more pop-ular than the one Staalscored on a breakaway 3:49into the third period to tiethe game 7-7.

A goal by St. Louis at13:54 put Team Lidstromahead 10-8 and Team Staalcouldn’t complete thecomeback. Eriksson scoredinto an empty net.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Djokovic walked to themiddle of the court, tossedhis racket into the crowd,then stripped off his shirtand shoes and hurledthem, too.

The 23-year-old Serb hadplenty to celebrate afterhis 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 win overMurray in the AustralianOpen final yesterday.Djokovic’s secondAustralian title made himonly the fourth active play-er on the men’s tour towin multiple majors.Rafael Nadal and RogerFederer have had a lock onthe men’s side, winning 21of the previous 23, whileLleyton Hewitt has two ti-tles — the last coming atWimbledon in 2002.

He’s the most successfulplayer so far in 2011,though, and that’s whatcounts right now.

“Certainly this will giveme a lot of motivation forthe continuation of theseason, because to win aGrand Slam at the start ofthe season is the best startyou can ask for,” he said.“It means a world to me.I’m still 23. I still have a lotof time to go.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
