The city’s finance and econom-ic development committee voted Rideau Carleton Raceway the only acceptable location for a new casino, over protests — and implied threats of legal action — from Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk.
Both Melnyk, who has a competing proposal to build a gaming facility at the Canadian Tire Centre, and his lawyer, Paul Webber of Bell Baker LLP, warned committee members that singling out the raceway amounted to sole-sourcing the project.
“Primarily, it’s illegal,” Web-ber said before the committee voted, arguing the motion of-fered an unfair financial bene-
fit to Rideau Carleton Raceway. “Secondly, I have concerns about how ethical it is, about the process that’s been fol-lowed and to be followed, and if the motion should pass, as I think we made clear, it will not rest there and we’re going to kick over every stone.”
Mayor Jim Watson, who chairs the committee, cham-pioned the motion as com-pletely within the Ontario Lot-tery and Gaming Corporation’s rules and the only way to keep Rideau Carleton open.
“The city, like every major organization, faces the threat of lawsuits all the time,” Wat-son said after the 10-1 vote. “But we can’t govern our ac-tions by the fear of someone going to sue us or take us to the OMB. We have to move for-ward on what we think is the right approach.”
City solicitor Rick O’Connor said he’d have a detailed legal opinion on the issues Webber raised in time for a final vote on the matter by city council next Wednesday.

“It just puts a whole damper on my enthusiasm that I came here with 10 years ago,” Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk told reporters after speaking with Ottawa city council’s finance and economic development committee. SEAN MCKIBBON/METRO

Near Lorry Greenberg Drive
Toronto pair nabbed after allegedly trying to sell fake gold in OttawaOttawa police have arrested a man and woman from Toronto who are believed to have tried to sell fake gold.
Police said the pair ap-
proached someone on the street near Lorry Greenberg Drive and attempted to sell the product to the victim.
A call was made to police, who later located a 2006 Land Rover.
Catalin Alexandru, 39, and Maria Gunici, 37, were both charged with attempted fraud under $5,000 and pos-session of the proceeds of crime under $5,000.
Police are reminding people to be vigilant about ongoing distraction thefts and frauds and are asking the public to come forward with any information about such incidents, especially witnesses or victims, by call-ing 613-230-6211, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS) or toll-free at 1-800-222-8477.

Serious injuries
Worker struck by cement chute, pinned to truckA 47-year-old male con-struction worker has been hospitalized with serious injuries after being struck by a cement chute that pinned him to a truck.
Ottawa paramedics were called to the accident on a cronstruction site shortly after 1 p.m. on Tuesday.
The man was treated for serious chest injuries after the chute of a cement truck hit him in the chest. Paramedics said the man was momentarily pinned between the chute and the truck until co-workers could pull back the chute. METRO
Rent 2 Own faces legal action, receivershipAngry investors and tenants of self-styled real estate “trans-action engineer” Jean-Claude Lacasse will try to see just how deep trouble goes at his com-panies at a meeting Wednes-day as he faces receivership for millions in lawsuits.
“It’s an information session for everyone involved to see where we’re at and how many people are affected,” said Vicki Baker of Doyle Salewski as the firm took over receivership for Lacasse’s Golden Oaks En-terprises Inc. and its subsidiary
Rent 2 Own Canada Tuesday.“The receiver has no in-
tention of evicting anyone,” said Baker, assuring renters and would-be home buyers who put their faith and finan-cial savings into the Lacasse’s hands.
Receiver Doyle Salewski was appointed by an Ottawa court Tuesday to liquidate assets or recover outstanding amounts for creditors after taking control of Golden Oaks’ holdings.
Court documents show an
almost-$1.3-million lawsuit and 10 other cases suing for tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars each are pending against Lacasse and Golden Oaks.
Lacasse’s Rent 2 Own Can-ada subsidiary promises those who “have difficulty qualifying traditionally for the purchase of a home” to move in to a property while “‘renting’ and building a down payment,” an arrangement which requires its own $10,000 down pay-ment.
A couple who bought into a Rent 2 Own Canada home at 3833 Armitage Ave. with a $40,000 down payment in early 2013, launched one of the most recent legal actions against Lacasse on July 5.
In a statement of claim filed in Ontario Superior Court, Faye and Gordon Ekstrom allege that Lacasse took the money with the understanding that “if the contract was not accept-able to them, the full amount would be refunded.”
Seeking independent legal
advice on the rent-to-own contract, the couple “became concerned with a number of clauses.” They allege their calls, voicemails and emails to Lacasse in an attempt to nego-tiate changes to the document were not returned and their money never refunded. The claim hasn’t been proven in court.
A meeting will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. at 1000 Byron Ave. to discuss and in-form residents of the situation. GRAHAM LANKTREE/METRO
Stranded Cathay Pacific pas-sengers en route from Hong Kong had to spend the night in the Ottawa airport lounge Monday night after record-breaking rain in Toronto caused their flight to be di-verted here.
Clouds dumped 126 milli-metres of rain at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, which is more precipitation than the city usually receives for the entire month of July. Environ-ment Canada said more rain fell Monday in Toronto than when Hurricane Hazel struck in 1954.
Changli, who only wanted her first name published, should have been back in her office Tuesday at General Motors in Detroit after vaca-
tioning in Hong Kong with her husband and two kids. Instead, she was watching her kids draw in colouring books in the lounge as fellow passengers curled up on tiny cots right next to her.
The family had planned to retrieve their car at the Toron-to Park’N Fly and drive home to Detroit overnight.
“I have to make tomorrow in my office; otherwise it’s not good,” said Changli Tuesday morning after getting some rest. “It was fine because I’m always a good sleeper and I’m tired.”
Vincent Lee, another pas-senger who lives in Toronto, said he only got about two to three hours of sleep on the cot.
“It’s not a good arrange-ment, but at least there’s a place to stay and they provided us $35 for food vouchers so we could get something to eat,” said Lee, as other passengers tried to catch just a little bit more shuteye before their re-scheduled flight in the after-noon.
“The first thing I’ll do when I get back to Toronto is take a nice shower.” WITH FILES FROM TORSTAR NEWS SER-VICE

Faced with a $1-million law-suit from rock band Cheap Trick over a mid-perform-ance stage collapse at Blues-fest in 2011, the festival’s
executive director is point-ing to a 2012 Ministry of Labour report that conclud-ed no one was to blame for the incident.
RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest chief Mark Monahan said he found out his company is be-ing sued by reading media reports and said he hasn’t seen the band’s statement of claim.
The last day of the 2011 festival took a turn for the worse when a sudden wind storm knocked down the stage on which the rock quartet was performing. Sev-eral people were injured.
“There was a fairly ex-
tensive Ministry of Labour investigation regarding the incident and that is avail-able in terms on the public record and it assessed every-thing that went on that day and subsequently,” Monahan said.
In a July 2012 report the ministry found there were no grounds for charges. It blamed severe weather and found no structural issues with the stage.
Cheap Trick Touring Inc. filed its statement of claim July 4. The company wants $400,000 for repair and re-placement of damaged equip-ment, including guitars and
amplifiers, and $600,000 for special damages, including labour and travel expenses.
The claim alleges Blues-fest breached its contract with the band by failing to provide a stage that is “ab-solutely level, solid, and se-cure” at all times. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
Monahan said the min-istry report is a “definitive statement or report on what happened.”
“The report concluded it was a weather event; there were no charges to lay blame or finding people at fault,” he said.

Those heading out to the Rink of Dreams this summer may want to trade in their skates for a pair of dance shoes.
Ottawa Latin dance schools Azúcar and Salsa-Force, in collaboration with Ottawa City Hall, are host-ing an outdoor salsa-dancing event at the Rink of Dreams from July 10 to Aug. 28.
The event will feature free Latin dance classes, dance demonstrations, social dancing and live music.
“The Ottawa salsa scene has been growing ... for the
last two years. When I started dancing it was considerably smaller than it is now,” said Ana Gherasim, co-director of Azúcar. “But now, thanks to many salsa schools, includ-ing ours, a lot more people have become aware of salsa dancing and tried it and have been coming out to regular social events.”
Salsa dancing has its roots in Cuban Son, a style of music that originated in Cuba during the 1930s, and gets its dance moves from a variety of different dance styles.
But there’s no definitive way to salsa dance — the style changes depending on the region and the dancer.
“My favourite thing is giv-ing people the basics and en-couraging them to find their own style, because salsa is a street dance and that’s what makes it so wonderful,” said Gherasim. Jordan Brown/Metro

Teachers are ill equipped to handle racism in Canada’s schools, Idle No More co-founder Sheelah McLean told members of the Canadian Teachers’ Federation on Day 2 of their annual general meeting in Ottawa Tuesday.
“Teachers thought they weren’t well equipped to handle these comments or incidents that were coming up in schools,” said McLean, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and grade-school teacher in Saskatoon, via Skype as she shared pre-liminary results of a study she conducted for her PhD dissertation.
“They talked about the shame that they felt when presented with these issues,” she said, noting that “we’re seeing many immigrant com-munities come into Canada, and teachers are not well equipped to deal with the kinds of thinking around class, race and gender.”
When the issue does come up, in the case of stu-dents levelling racial slurs
at others, many teachers merely silence the student, she said, rather than have an open discussion about racism and its root and that few classes tackle racism head-on. When they hear other teachers make similar comments, they stay silent, she said her research has found.
“The silence in our schools has a huge impact in normalizing this kind of vio-lence,” she said, adding the Idle No More movement has done much to raise aware-ness of racism and inequality toward Canadian aboriginals.
“Why does Idle No More have to educate the Can-adian public when we have a public education system,” McLean asked. She said a Grade 12 class she teaches on anti-racism and colonial-ism has given her students a sense of empowerment and shift in their world view in how inequality is shaped by political, economic and so-cial policies.GraHaM LanKtree/Metro

The official death toll in the Quebec train disaster climbed to 15 on Tuesday, with two more bodies pulled from a scorched area police were call-ing a crime scene.
With about another 35 people still missing, residents of Lac-Mégantic expect the grim news to continue.
Provincial police said they had 200 officers on site per-forming a criminal investiga-tion.
“There is potential evidence there that could eventually lead to criminal charges being laid,” said Insp. Michel Forget.
“I won’t speculate on the elements we have recovered
because they will be secret.”He said he doesn’t believe
terrorism is at play.Earlier on Tuesday, the na-
tional Transportation Safety Board said it is performing its own investigation.
The TSB said Tuesday that authorities were never alerted to the fact that a runaway train was on its way to levelling part of the small Quebec town.
Rail dispatchers had no chance to intervene during the
fateful 18-minute journey be-cause they didn’t know it was happening, TSB investigator Donald Ross told reporters.
“There were no signals nor track circuits, so the rail-traffic controller had no ... indication that there had been a runaway train,” he said.
Such systems are in place on busier rail lines but not on secondary lines, said TSB man-ager Ed Belkaloul.The Canadian Press

Who abandons a Ferrari? a lawyer in a big hurryThere it was: a silver Ferrari, submerged in the murky flood-waters of Toronto.
Photos of the orphaned sports car were everywhere Monday night as the rains that pummelled Toronto subsided.
Howard A. Levitt, one of Canada’s leading employment lawyers, was on his way to an important hearing in Ottawa. He entered an underpass fol-lowing several other cars, each of which easily traversed a body of water that looked no deeper than a puddle.
No such luck for Levitt.His 2010 Ferrari California,
which retails for $192,000, rides extremely close to the ground,
and despite its powerful V8, 454-horsepower engine, it only took a few inches of water to stop the car in its tracks.
Levitt realized a tow truck wouldn’t arrive in time. So he opened the door, letting the dirty water flow in, and col-lected his bags from the trunk.
He took a cab to the island airport, found all flights had been cancelled, then headed to Pearson, where he caught “the last seat of the day” to Ottawa.
On Tuesday, Levitt won his motion in Ottawa, making the quick escape worthwhile.
“It’s a good ending, except for my poor car,” he said.TorsTar neWs serviCe

NSA scandal

On Tuesday, a Russian lawmaker tweeted that Snowden had taken the offer from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, then deleted the post a few minutes later. He then sent another message saying his claim was based on a report from a state TV channel, which in turn said the law-maker misunderstood its report. The assoCiaTed Press

Shedding light on forgotten Canadian war heroes
Soldiers march across Sicily in 1943. contributed/operation husky 2013
Charles Hunter says it “hurts a little” when his Second World War service is ignored.
Hunter, a bombardier with the 39 Regiment Royal Artillery, was one of 25,000 Canadian soldiers who invad-ed Sicily in 1943 as part of the Allied Operation Husky. It was the first independent role for Canadian soldiers in WWII, and Canada’s stra-tegic contribution helped open Italy to the Allies and turn the tide of the war.
Seventy years later, Oper-ation Husky 2013 is com-memorating the Battle of Sicily, which they say has been overlooked by history. The group says a poll of Can-adians found 91 per cent didn’t know Canadian troops were even in Sicily during WWII.
“I don’t know why it’s ig-
nored,” Hunter said. “And it kind of hurts a little bit, to feel you get ignored when you’ve done a good job — because we did, we did do a good job.”
Operation Husky — the original one — commenced before the early hours of July 10, 1943.
Allied forces stormed the beaches at Pachino and climbed a 900-metre cliff the German’s had left almost un-defended, believing it impos-sible to scale.
The Allies drove the Ger-mans off the island. Of 25,000 Canadians who fought, 562 had died by the end of the month. Compared to stor-ies about D-Day and Dieppe, little is said about Canada’s role in the Italian campaign.
To right that wrong, Oper-ation Husky 2013 will be commemorating the Battle of Sicily beginning July 10. More than 200 Canadians are heading to Sicily to take part in remembrance ceremon-ies, including retracing the soldier’s march across the island, leaving markers in the places Canadians fell 70 years ago.

Three women who police say were held captive in a Cleve-land home for about a decade have issued a video in which they thanked the public for the encouragement and finan-cial support that are allowing them to restart their lives.
Amanda Berry, Gina De-Jesus and Michelle Knight broke their public silence in the three-minute, 30-second video posted Monday night on YouTube. They said the sup-
port and prayers of family, friends and the public are al-lowing them to rebuild their lives after what Berry called
“this entire ordeal.”The women had gone mis-
sing separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14,
16, and 20 years old.In the video, none of the
women had any visible scars of the abuse they said they suffered at the hands of Ariel Castro, who has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indict-ment alleging he kidnapped them off the streets and held them captive in his two-storey home.
They were smiling and ap-peared upbeat. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Investigators dig through the rubble for victims of Saturday’s derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Que., Tuesday, as a tanker truck empties cars of their remaining contents. Jacques Boissinot/tHe canaDian PRess
Executives with major Canadian pipeline companies say they see no silver lining to the Lac-Mé-gantic train disaster.
There have been suggestions that transporting oil by pipeline may seem more palatable after several oil-laden rail cars explod-ed over the weekend, killing more than a dozen people and
devastating the small Quebec town.
But TransCanada Corp. CEO Russ Girling said there’s “no good news here for anybody” in the tragedy and the notion that the pipeline industry will some-how benefit from it “makes no sense.”
While disasters ranging from Lac-Mégantic to the mas-sive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico three years ago jolt the public, Girling said companies such as TransCanada still have a responsibility to build new energy infrastructure.
“People continue to have needs for starting their vehicles every morning, cooking their
food, heating their homes. We have an obligation to do that as safely as we can.”
The president of Kinder Mor-gan Canada, which is planning to nearly triple the amount of crude shipped between Alberta and the B.C. Lower Mainland, said he too fails to see any up-side for pipeline firms.
“I think that the public is obviously very concerned about the broad safety net that is avail-able for both rail and pipelines,” he said.
“I think it’s a question of all operators — whether it’s pipe or rail or trucking for that matter — (to) continue to be very dili-gent and vigilant in their safety precautions.”
Earlier, Girling said he’s “ex-tremely optimistic” the com-pany’s Energy East project — a proposal to ship up to 850,000 barrels a day of Western crude to eastern markets through an underused natural gas line — has enough customer support to go ahead. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Liberal hearts education. Book deal for alumna who urged students to marryA Princeton University alumna who urged female students to find a husband before they graduate has a book deal.
Susan Patton has an agree-ment with Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, for Smarten Up!: Words of Wisdom from the Princeton Mom.
Gallery Books announced Tuesday that Smarten Up! is scheduled to come out in the spring of 2014.
Patton attracted national
attention for a letter pub-lished in March by The Daily Princetonian. A member of the class of 1977, Patton ad-vised women currently at Princeton to seek a mate on campus, warning that they would never again be around so many “worthy” men.
According to Gallery, Pat-ton will offer “uncomfortable truths” about marriage and motherhood and what could happen if students wait too long. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RE: Lac-Mégantic begins the week with a shattered core and dozens still missing, published July 8
Where exactly do they think the 40 or so people went?
Look at the destruction and flames that carried on for hours. Do they expect to find bodies? Or do they expect to scientifically connect ashes?
Warning signs my ***. You leave a train that is a potential mega big bomb alone and say there might have been warning signs.
People have lost loved ones and everything they had and this zigging around to find why the train killed them is disgusting.
The fact is it did, now own up to it and help these people. Jean Caron posted to Metro Ottawa’s Facebook page
Happy birthday, dear app store. In honour of Apple’s app store turning five this week, the folks over in Cupertino, Calif.,are celebrating theirhalf decade by giving away five games and five apps. Make sure to get yours before the flash sale runs out (unclear when the sale ends, but rumours suggest the end of the week).

Another day, another amazing scientific break-through.
This one, I have to admit, actually is amazing. And disturbing.
A team of scientists in the U.K. have come up with a blood test for infants that will predict how quickly they will age and how long they will live.
Talk about “born to die.”These scientists have identified 22 metabol-
ites — molecules linked to metabolism — that help govern a host of bodily mechanisms such as lung function, bone density, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, etc.
Putting a positive spin on it, the scientists be-lieve that they will now be able to influence these metabolic factors and treat age-related dis-eases before they put us on the wrong side of the lawn.
But seriously, do you really want to know when it’s over — as
soon as it begins? Right now, Canadians can ex-pect an average life expectancy of 81 years, which seems comfortably far off when you’re three days old. But what if your metabolites pre-dict a 50-year life span — or worse? It seems a bit unfair to expect someone to start working on a bucket list before he’s out of short pants.
How long will it be before metabolite blood tests are routine? Together with genetic analysis, the fate of the child will be sealed before the first car ride home. Career, insurance coverage, diet, hobbies, whatever, will all be based on their metabolic or genetic impact — or both. “Epigen-etics” is the means by which environmental fac-tors switch certain genes on or off. So, conceiv-ably, the state of your metabolites will help de-
termine your genetic array and vice versa.Together they take all the guesswork out of life. Maybe all the
fun, too.If you were still harbouring any notions of free will, it’s time
to put all that aside and start the grim dance of biological deter-minism.
It’s hard enough bringing kids into the world. If you’re lucky enough to give birth to a relatively robust being who will take care of you in your dotage, it’s almost worth the investment, but if the poor little gaffer will expire before you’re 64, what’s the point?
Of course, it doesn’t matter what I think or what you think. Medical science marches forward, regardless. Once the genie is out of the test tube, it’s not about to allow itself to get stuffed back in.
Still, I’m glad I have no idea what my best-before date is. For all I know, I could be looking forward to a telegram from the Queen when I turn 100. She’ll certainly still be around.
Or the wheels could fall off next Thursday. Ignorance is bliss.

Godzilla: a historical movie � gure
For someone who grew up watching Godzilla stomp his way through the major cities of the world, the idea of a sea monster large enough to use a battleship as a baseball bat is very exciting. In Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro presents the biggest movie monsters seen since the Blue Oyster Cult sang, Oh no, there goes Tokyo, go go Godzilla!
Pacific Rim’s monsters are direct descendants of the “kaiju” or strange beasts that became popular in the sci-fi films produced by the Japanese company Toho in the 1950s and ’60s. Most famous is the king of all mon-sters, Godzilla, the giant lizard who wreaked havoc in 29 movies. Rounding out Toho’s big five are a Divine Moth called Mothra and a trio of kaiju named King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla, and Rodan.
The first Godzilla film came in 1954. The story of an ancient dinosaur-like colossus created by American nuclear weapons testing was inspired by a news story about the Lucky Dragon 5, a Japanese fishing boat contaminated after sailing too close to a U.S. nuclear test.
“Suitmation actor” Haruo Nakajima played the beast and could only walk 30 feet at a stretch in the 200-pound Godzilla suit. To create the monster’s fearful roars, audio engineers threw reverb on the sound of a resin-coated leather glove rubbed on the strings of a double bass. Ten years after that movie, King Ghidorah, a fearsome alien dragon, was created as Godzilla’s archenemy. He was equipped with nuclear fire breath, and in the 1964 film Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster, he devastates Japan until repelled by Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra.
Rodan, the 1956 kaiju movie about mutant ptero-saurs and prehistoric insects who terrorize human-ity, has two signifi-cant firsts. It was the first Japanese mon-ster movie to be filmed in colour, and, according to George Takei’s auto-biography, was his debut as a professional actor.

Guillermo del Toro is first and foremost a movie buff, which has been causing him a distinct amount of un-happiness.
You see, del Toro has been so busy making movies — particularly his latest, the giant robots vs. giant mon-sters blockbuster Pacific Rim — that he hasn’t had any time to actually watch other people’s movies. Or at least that’s the excuse he gives for not having seen Man of Steel or the first instalment of the Hobbit, which he was origin-ally pegged to direct.
There’s been a lot of criti-cism about the levels of carnage shown in Man of Steel. Your fi lm also fea-tures a great deal of urban destruction. How do you keep from crossing the line from fun into too realistic?
Well, kaiju movies by defin-ition bring a completely escapist fun in these type of fights. When you’re
a kid and you’re watching Godzilla stomp a bunch of tanks or jets or cut through
a city, the proportions of these things are so enor-mous that you cannot cor-relate them to anything real. What I do is I then bring in visually a very different sense of style from reality. I have these super-coloured lights illuminating the rain, so it looks like a living comic book or a living anime, you know? And the thing that I do very, very consciously is I vacated all the streets so they would be empty of people. So you’re never thinking, “Oh, the kaiju just crushed 600 people.” Because the streets are vacated and everybody’s in a refuge, all they can destroy is buildings and vehicles when nobody’s there.
Have you seen Man of Steel?No, I haven’t. I haven’t seen many movies because I’ve been making one. The only two or three times I’ve gone to the movies in the last few years have been to movies that my daughters want to see. So I went to Les Miser-ables and I went to some animated movies — movies that I would not necessarily have gravitated towards. But that’s being a parent, taking your daughters to see the Justin Bieber concert movie.
Does that mean you have to go see the One Direction movie later this summer?No, no (laughs). Actually my
daughters are not into that stuff.
Are you planning to do another non-English lan-guage fi lm anytime soon, or do you live in Hollywood exclusively now?Yeah, I would love to. I produce a lot of movies in Latin America and Spain and I’m producing a movie right now in Mexico. As a director I would love to do it, but I need to find a story that suits me. It’s not like I have a drawer full of stories in Spanish and in English.
What determines if a story is better told in Spanish rather than English?You cannot aspire to do a movie that is as quirky as Pan’s Labyrinth in the Hollywood machinery. It would get tested and noted by executives to death. It would end up having a happy ending and all that bulls—, you know? And at the same time you cannot end up with a movie that is as spectacular and huge and magnificent in showman-ship as Pacific Rim if you do it in Mexico or Spain. So depending on the scale of the story, depending on if you need to protect the pro-duction value and spectacle or if you need to protect the content and quirkiness of the story, you go from one (end of the) scale to another.
Director del Toro too busy to take in a movieBlockbuster. Guillermo talks making Pacifi c Rim and making movies in Hollywood
Kaiju & jaegers
Playing favouritesPacific Rim introduces audiences to numer-ous “kaiju” — giant monsters from another dimension — and “jaegers” — the giant, piloted robots mankind creates to fight them off.
It’s a movie clearly made, at least in part, with action figures in mind. So naturally direc-tor Guillermo del Toro has some favourites among the giant beasts and machines, right?
Among the jaegers and kaiju in the film, do you personally have a favourite?“Yes,” he readily admits. “My favourite jaeger is Cherno Alpha, because I think he is adorable. It’s kind of this heavy, sort of clumsy, very old-fashioned, almost steampunky jaeger, and I like that. It looks like a giant iron boiler. And my favourite kaiju is Leatherback, the gorilla-esque one, because I fully identify with his beer belly.”

The Word
Nick Lachey sings for his dinnerNick Lachey turned up the heat during a brief tour stop in New York on Monday to help launch a viral advertis-ing campaign for Wendy’s new Pretzel Burger.
The ’90s heartthrob, back on tour with a reunited 98 Degrees, gave an intimate performance at a Midtown Wendy’s, singing songs based on some tweets about the burger chain’s latest creation. Yes, you read that correctly.
“It’s not the easiest thing to write a song out of tweets,” Lachey said about Monday night’s performance. The song he created especially for this event? “Pretzel Buns I Am a Fan... Hashtag.” That is literally what he sang. (The
Word really wants to know what his paycheque was for this. Let’s hope it wasn’t just in Pretzel Burgers, even though he admitted that he’s “a huge pretzel guy.”)
Lachey was right back on the road after the event to prepare for the West Coast leg of the tour. Now 39, life on the road comes with different responsibilities for Lachey and his wife Vanessa, who are bringing their new-born son, Camden, along for the ride.
“It’s different, but it’s cool to come off stage and know your family is there and your son is sleeping in a crib on the bus,” he said. “In a lot of ways it’s a much cooler dynamic just having the op-portunity to spend time with them and the opportunity to share those memories. It’s a lot more meaningful than to be out on your own.” Metro With reporting froM Chris Longo

George Clooney
George Clooney is on the market
George Clooney is back on the market — and appar-ently he has been for longer than people think. Clooney and girlfriend Stacy Keibler have reportedly parted ways and have been trying to keep the split under wraps for as long as possible, ac-cording to Radar Online.
“They did break up,” a source says, noting that the
split was “amicable” and “due to schedule, nothing more.” Clooney and Keibler have been spending time apart the last two months while dodging breakup rumours. “It’s been slowly falling apart for awhile,” a source tells Us Weekly. “Stacy knew George was not the man to settle down with.”

Statham ready to tie the knot
After three years of dating, Jason Statham is reportedly ready to make it official with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, according to Us Weekly. “I hear he’ll propose soon,” a source tells the magazine. “Their connection is very serious and
physical.” And Huntington-Whiteley herself clearly isn’t bothered by their 19-year age difference. “I’m not interested in hanging out with boys,” she recently said in an interview with the Edit. “I have all the man I need.”
Jim Carrey
Carrey apologizes for comments, not for positionJim Carrey is still against assault rifles and won’t be promoting his next film, the bullet-ridden Kick-Ass 2, but he is at least learning to play nice.
“Assault rifle fans, I do not agree with you, nor do I fear you, but I do love you and
I’m sorry that in my outrage I called you names. That was wrong,” the outspoken actor posted to Twitter. “By the way, I don’t need a crisis manager, just a conscience. Calling people names is inappropri-ate, but my position on assault weapons hasn’t changed.”

The cast of Canada’s Amazing Race. HANDOUT
From far and wide, the True North is Amazing TV
Canada is finally getting its own version of The Amazing Race. Helming the show is host and Olympic athlete Jon Montgomery.
What made you want to be the host?It intimidated me and scared me and I like that. As people we learn the most when we challenge ourselves, when we live outside our comfort zone.
What do you bring to the show?Just an aspect of being myself. I think that’s what was perhaps endearing at the 2010 Games. Just being
someone who Canadians identified as being uniquely Canadian, being honest, be-ing you, drinking beer. A big beer. If people identify me as an average Joe Canadian, then that’s something I am really proud of. I set lofty goals for myself, but I am just an average guy getting it done.
Did you have any input into the roadblocks or detours? They didn’t pick my brain. I was simply tasked with being
the host. But in the role I got to explain and do all the challenges. I demonstrate them. That’s what will be different from Phil’s (original series host Phil Keoghan) role and my role.
How long did the fi lming take? How many legs?It was three weeks, every day. I believe 10 episodes in total. Each episode isn’t just a day; they can span a couple of days. There were crazy hours just like in the
U.S. one. People are fighting tooth and nail to get across this country.
What surprised you most about Can-ada?Lots of places I didn’t know about. We experi-enced a desert,
mountains in places that I didn’t expect to see them. At every stop there was some element of surprise. And I considered myself to
be a pretty knowledge-able guy about our
country.
Can you tell me one place the show went? I can tell you we took a great many planes and automobiles to get from coast to coast to coast.
You said coast three times?
We do go north. If there is a Can-adian out there wondering if they will see an aspect of their area of the country in this TV show, the answer is — yes!

1. Place tuna in a bowl along with soy sauce, Mirin, 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice, ginger, garlic, wasabi and sesame seeds. Let marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 15 minutes
and up to 2 hours.
2. Toss the avocado with lem-on juice to prevent discoloura-tion.
3. With a quarter measuring cup, sprayed with vegetable oil, fill half way with one sixth of avocado, then one sixth of tuna. Press down firmly, then
carefully invert onto serving plate. Repeat with remaining tuna and avocado until you’ve made 6 individual apps. Gar-nish with sesame seeds.

4. In a separate skillet, sauté scallops and shrimp in 1 table-spoon olive oil until lightly golden in colour. Season and set aside to cool down.
5. Once everything cools, com-bine all seafood with the pasta and zucchini. Toss to combine and add the remaining olive oil, lemon juice and parsley. Salt to taste. News CaNada/barilla.Ca

This recipe serves four. news canada
When temperatures rise, the idea of cooking loses its appeal. That’s when salads like this Coastal Salad with Grapes and Shrimp come to the rescue.
This salad is rich but refresh-ing and the grapes are the key. Their juicy sweetness comple-ment the flavour of the shrimp. Their crisp texture adds to the crunch of the celery and water chestnuts. And grapes have a tang that acts as a foil to the rich dressing.
Coastal Salad with Grapes and Shrimp is fit for a party on the patio with whatever is on the barbecue or by itself for a filling lunch. The salad can also be presented in a number of ways: the salad mixture can be mounded onto butter lettuce leaves, mixed with baby greens,
or for an especially rich treat, inside an avocado half.
1. In a medium bowl, com-bine the shrimp, grapes, celery, water chestnuts and the sliced whites of the green onion.
2. In a small bowl, combine the
mayonnaise, sherry, salt, pep-per, sesame oil and dry mus-tard. Gently mix with shrimp and grape mixture.
3. Sprinkle with the sliced, green part of the onion and the sesame seeds. Refrigerate until ready to serve. News CaNada

Online job searches have be-come the easiest way for stu-dents and new grads to apply for jobs. This makes it critical to understand how online job searches actually work and how to ensure that you prepare your application successfully. How can you do this? Talk with the experts.
Resumé coach Pamela Pater-son has 15 years of experience teaching about the art and sci-ence of creating effective resu-més. She’s the author of the new book Get the Job: Optimize Your Resumé for the Online Job Search and she was able to pro-vide some egg-cellent online job searching expertise and tips.
What is the resumé writing system you refer to in your book?
The resumé writing system is a comprehensive approach to writing resumés and getting them highly ranked in online job systems. It consists of six key steps:
1. Learning the system (be-ginning in the right way to achieve success).
2. Creating an effective layout and design (so your resumé is not rejected by online job
systems).
3. Boosting your content (over-coming deficits and word choice problems).
4. Tailoring your resumé for on-line job systems (understanding how to become highly ranked — it’s about more than just keywords).
5. Keeping your resumé on top of the competition (by doing what few people know how to do).
6. Testing and releasing your re-sumé to prospective employers.
You also discuss the other side — applicant tracking systems (ATS) — in your book. What are some effect-ive ways to get through this system when applying for a job?
ATSs can search resumés in almost any conceivable way — really, in any way the (em-ployer) wants this system con-figured. Some people think that if they just include keywords from the job listing, their resu-mé will be filtered in a favour-able way.
Job listing keywords help, but it is not the only strategy

you need. ATSs may also search by other keywords, such as competitors’ names. ATSs can search by job title, the date you last held the job title, the percentage that your resumé matches the job posting and even the method that you ap-plied to the job, such as to the company directly or through a job board. There is a perception that job seekers who apply to the company directly are more interested in working for the company itself, and they may be higher ranked because of it.
How should job seekers tailor their resumés?Don’t come across as “plain vanilla” like the thousands of other jobseekers.
You won’t grab anybody’s attention. One technique is to provide factual, objective in-formation rather than subject-ive information that could be based on opinion.
For example, don’t say you
are “intelligent” if you can say you have a 4.0 GPA. Don’t say you’re “hard working” if you can include a snippet of a quote from a former manager who says you are a “major contribu-tor on projects and a valued team member.” Prospective employers like to see evidence on a resumé as opposed to opin-ion.
If you can provide statistics, even better. For example, rath-er than saying you designed a “large and complex” asset man-agement system, you could say that you designed an asset man-agement system that “man-aged the assets of 13,000 staff.” Always be as factual as you can, and let the words do the talking for you as opposed to including subjective claims.

Scott Niedermayer and Chris Chelios won four Norris Tro-phies and seven Stanley Cups between them, becoming two of the elite NHL defencemen of their era.
Chelios needed a “lucky break” or two to make it from improbable beginnings in Chicago, while Niedermayer always seemed destined to be a star. They shared the spot-light Tuesday by headlining the 2013 class of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Niedermayer and Che-lios made it in their first year of eligibility. They’ll be in-ducted with forward Brendan Shanahan, Team Canada de-fenceman Geraldine Heaney and coach Fred Shero.
“I was part of one era, I think Chris has probably been part of a few,” Niedermayer joked. “The one thing that I do remember playing against Chris was he was one of the toughest guys to play against,
even as a defenceman. He was always giving me a hard time on the ice, making life miser-able. Hopefully in November it’s not the same when we get to Toronto.”
Niedermayer had 172 goals and 568 assists in 1,263 games and won four Stanley Cups, three with the New Jersey Dev-ils and one with the Anaheim Ducks. He won the Norris Tro-phy in 2003-04 and the Conn Smythe with Anaheim in 2007.
“He made it look so easy,” Chelios said of Neidermayer. “I have all the respect in the world for Scott playing against him.”
Chelios wound up playing 23 full seasons and parts of three more, winning the Norris Trophy three times.
Shanahan recorded 656 goals and 698 assists and won three Stanley Cups and an Olympic gold medal.
Heaney, already in the Inter-national Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame, becomes the third female player elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Fred Shero, who died in 1990, won two cups as coach of the expansion-era Philadelphia Flyers. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Seguin starts down road to respect in DallasTyler Seguin wants to be-come the new face of the Dallas Stars. He’ll have to wipe a little egg off it first.
That process started at an introductory news conference Tuesday when the young forward apologized again for an anti-gay comment on his Twitter account over the weekend.
The 21-year-old reiterated that his ac-count was hacked — but acknowledged that even he wouldn’t believe that explanation if it came from someone else. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jay Triano experienced one of Canada’s greatest basketball moments. Now he believes the group of young players he’s guiding will make some his-tory of their own.
Triano led the Canadian team that won the 1983 World University Games in Edmonton, shocking a mighty American squad that included Charles Barkley and Karl Mal-one in the semifinals before toppling Yugoslavia in the gold-medal game.
Three decades later, the 54-year-old is on the bench as Canada’s men’s head coach at the 27th Universiade in Kazan, Russia.
“Thirty years ago, 15 of these Games ago,” Triano said, recalling Canada’s brilliant performance in 1983.
“Wow, 30 years — don’t re-mind me,” he added, laughing.
The Canadians are 2-0 at these Games and tied with the United States and Australia atop Pool C, after opening with an 84-69 victory over Sweden and then clobbering the United Arab Emirates 137-43.
Canada is fielding a de-velopment team that includes six-foot-nine forward Kyle Wiltjer, who helped the Ken-
tucky Wildcats capture the NCAA title in his freshman year in 2012, Kevin Pangos, a six-foot-one guard at Gonzaga, and brothers Philip and Thom-as Scrubb, who’ve helped Carleton win the Canadian university title in all three of their seasons in Ottawa.
“We’ve got so many good young players in our country, and they want to be here, they want to be competing for Can-ada, and that’s what makes this fun,” Triano said. “They elected to not go to opening ceremonies, for example, be-cause we had a game the next
day. They’re very driven and they’re very dedicated to play-ing for their country and doing well.
“This is the type of thing we want, we want our young players to feel that way and we want them to grow in the pro-gram with those same beliefs.”
The tournament will get significantly more difficult over the next three days as Canada battles Australia on Wednesday, the Czech Re-public on Thursday, and the Americans on Friday. Only two teams from each pool advance to the quarter-finals.
Canada’s victory in 1983 was the team’s only Univer-siade gold in basketball, al-though Triano and his team went on to win bronze two years later. In all, Canada has won one gold, four silver and four bronze in basketball.The Canadian Press

At first, Jon (Bones) Jones put it down to the “war gods.” Then, upon further review, he point-ed the finger at karma.
Either way someone made Anderson (The Spider) Silva pay for disrespecting Chris (The All-American) Weidman in the cage Saturday night, ac-cording to Jones.
Silva’s loss has proved to be Jones’ gain.
The UFC’s light-heavy-weight champion has taken over as No. 1 in the MMA or-ganization’s pound-for-pound fighter rankings in the wake of Silva’s upset loss to Weidman.
Silva, an icon in the sport who had won all 16 of his previous UFC fights, fell off his pedestal with a thud after
clowning his way to a loss.As he has done in previous
fights, the Brazilian middle-weight champion dropped his hands and invited his op-ponent to hit him. This time, the 38-year-old Silva’s reflexes failed him and Weidman con-nected, felling him before fin-ishing him off on the ground with a few blows.
Jones managed to praise
and bury Silva at the same time when the topic came up at Tuesday’s news conference to promote his September UFC 165 title defence in Toronto against Sweden’s Alexander (The Mauler) Gustafsson.
“I think that Anderson Silva is a magnificent fighter. I think that he has an extraordinary gift,” Jones said. “I think he’s got to the point where he real-
ly believes in his gift and he’s comfortable with his gift.
“And he abuses his gift. He disrespected the gift by disre-specting his opponent.”
Jones, 25, noted that mar-tial arts is built around honour, integrity and treating people with respect.
Jones is coming off a first-round win over Chael Sonnen at UFC 159 in April during which he broke his big toe.
Gustafsson has won six straight, most recently earning a decision over Mauricio (Sho-gun) Rua in December 2012.The Canadian Press

Man says ex-NFL star admitted to killing victimDocuments show a man linked to the murder case against former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez told police Hernandez admitted firing the fatal shots.
Carlos Ortiz reportedly told Massachusetts inves-tigators that another man, Ernest Wallace, said Her-nandez admitted shooting Odin Lloyd in an industrial park near Hernandez’s Massachusetts home.
The documents were filed in court by the Mira-mar, Fla., police depart-ment to justify a search of Wallace’s home in that city.
The documents also say that while investigating Lloyd’s killing, police did searches in Bristol, Conn., that turned up a vehicle wanted in connection with a July 2012 double homi-cide in Boston.
Police say the vehicle had been rented in the name of Hernandez.The assoCiaTed Press

84.5According to ESPN’s Sport Science, Jon Jones has a daunting 84.5-inch wingspan that al-lows him to land blows from over three feet away. With his arms extended, Jones can cover 182 cubic feet around him, some 80 per cent more than the average adult male.

DRIVEThe 2014 Chevy Silverado
ALL PHOTOS WHEELBASEMEDIA.COM
In pickup parlance the chase isn’t just on, it never really stops. With the arrival of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, the pace is definitely quickening.
In 2012, 265,000 domestic- and foreign-based 1500, 2500 and 3500-series pickups were sold in Canada and 40 per cent belonged to Ford. GM’s Silver-ado/Sierra models finished sol-idly in second place, ahead of Chrysler’s Ram and well ahead of the Toyota Tundra and Nis-san Titan.
With the all-new Silverado 1500-series, Chevrolet appears to have done its homework and paid close attention to what buyers are looking for to haul and tow their stuff. There are more powerful engines as well as improvements and upgrades in nearly every other category you could imagine.
Behind the tailgate, the handy Corner Step bumper has recessed footholds that, com-bined with built-in handholds inside the box, make accessing the bed much easier.
The dashboard and control panel that houses the optional eight-inch touch screen are pos-itioned in a tidy pod for easy viewing and all of the over-sized knobs and switches are work-glove-friendly and clearly marked.
All body styles — regular,
extended Double Cab (now featuring front-hinged rear doors with outside handles) and four-door Crew Cab — are attached to a reworked frame with more high-strength steel, extra bracing for stiffness and improved body mounts that help isolate road noise and vi-bration.
The revised suspension places the wheels on each axle farther apart with a goal to im-prove overall ride and stability.
For 2014, Chevrolet has made a few changes to the Silverado’s box size/cab com-binations. Now you can order the Crew Cab with a longer 80-inch (200-centimetre) bed as well as the standard 68-inch (175-centimetre) version.
Perched between the frame rails is a choice of three new all-aluminum cam-in-block engines. The entry point is a 4.3-litre V6 that features the same displacement as the pre-vious V6, but the output has significantly increased to 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque from 195/260. Optional is a 5.3-litre V8 with 355 horses and 383 pound-feet
on tap, up from 315/335.Later in the model year
they’ll be joined by an available 6.2-litre V8 rated at 420 horse-power and 440 pound-feet of torque, which shares its parts with the new Corvette sports car V8.
Chevrolet also likes to point out that it has managed to increase performance and re-duce fuel consumption across the line without resorting to complex (and expensive) turbo-charging. That’s a direct shot at the Ford F-Series and its “Eco-boost” V6.
Of course you can order your Silverado as a stripped-down, rubber-matted V6 work rig with a $27,150 sticker, or head all the way up to the new and thoroughly tricked-out High Country 4x4 with a corres-pondingly high list price. It’s a brand new trim level designed to keep well-to-do ranchers driving in the lap of luxury.
Whichever pickup matches your needs, know that Chevro-let has made the right changes for a more refined and fuel ef-ficient Silverado to keep pace with Ford.
Review. Chasing the Ford 150 means adding in more of everything that truckers want
The High Country’s plush interior and dash match anything that’s on the market.

Fuel economy
The transmission for all is a six-speed automatic. The result, at least for the more muscular V6, is a significant fuel economy improvement in city and highway driving (best guess of 12.0 l/100 km in the city and 7.8 on the highway, compared to 14.1/10.0 for the previous V6).
Direct injection
All three powerplants feature direct injection, which tailors the fuel load for the task at hand. They also have continuously vari-able valve timing (which allows in more fuel and air depending on the power needs) and cylinder deacti-vation that cuts off up to half the cylinders in light load and cruise situations.
Design
The new Silverado bears more than a passing resemblance to the out-going model. In front, the twin stacked headlights remain, but the grille is now much more promin-ent and tougher looking. As well, the hood and fenders bulge out more aggressively than before.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado
• Type. Two- /four-door, rear-/four-wheel-drive full-size pickup

Rental giants need to beware of the share
Talk about sneaking in the back door to crash the fi-nancial fun reserved only for rental-car giants such as Avis, Enterprise, National and Hertz.
Told by many transporta-tion “experts” that their Zip-car plan would never roll, Robin Chase and Antje Dan-ielson still believed a fresh ap-proach to vehicle rental was long overdue. It turns out they were right.
In the span of just 12 years, the women turned their little plan and a modest $75,000 in-vestment into a transportation gold mine that recently sold for half a billion dollars.
Zipcar wasn’t a brand new idea; car sharing had been growing in Europe and Can-ada since the 1990s. Zipcar’s success came from fresh tech-nology that helped to rewrite the rental rules by giving driv-ers the options and freedom never offered before.
Need a BMW only for an afternoon business meeting? Got you covered. How about a pickup truck for a two-hour furniture move? No problem. Need a big wagon for a week-end getaway at the beach? Check that.
“I have a fleet of cars avail-able to me that I can have at my beck and call. And I pay only for what I need,” said Chase, explaining that the average vehicle still piles up bills, even as it sits parked for 92 per cent of its life. “All those hours with a car sitting idle (with Zipcar), I’m not pay-ing for it.”
Situated mainly in dense-ly-populated metropolitan areas, Zipcar — and other car-sharing operations like it —
eliminates the long lines and frustration at the rental-car office, and gives its members the grab-and-go convenience of renting a vehicle 24 hours a day, paying for only as long as needed, and usually with little advance reservation notice.
And with no fuel, insur-ance or maintenance costs, Zipcar has become a great op-tion for drivers with minimal transportation needs, and those with no interest in the price and parking headaches of vehicle ownership.
According to a story in Time magazine, the average U.S. household paid more than $4,000 gassing up their vehicles last year. Add to the turbulent fuel costs the price of insurance, vehicle payments, maintenance and repair bills, and the annual vehicle cost ap-proaches $9,000.
Launched in January of 2000, the Zipcar fleet has grown from four cars in the Boston area to more than 11,000 vehicles in 49 U.S. cities, as well as Vancouver and Toronto in Canada, and throughout Europe.
Popularity and profits for Zipcar grew so rapidly — membership has increased from 50,000 six years ago to about 760,000 today — Avis bought the company and its entire car-sharing network in January for US $500 million.
“We see car sharing as highly complementary to trad-itional car rental,” said Ronald Nelson, Avis chairman and CEO, “with rapid growth po-tential.”
With the idea of putting the cars on its rental lots at air-ports, Zipcar has the potential to chew into cab and shuttle-bus revenue as members sim-ply land and drive away. Get-ting to the airport is just as simple.
So how does it work?Ease and convenience are
the greatest advantages of car sharing, behind the obvious financial savings. Unlike a traditional rental-car office, Zipcar clients climb behind the wheel and drive off the parking lot in seconds with no lines, no waits, no paperwork.
Members reserve their car by computer, phone, text mes-sage or cellular app. Simply fill in the preference blanks — what time, how long, pickup point, type of vehicle — arrive at the Zipcar lot (which might be the most difficult part de-pending where the lot is) and unlock the doors with a wave of the membership card over the scanner. Then grab the keys from the glove box, drive around to complete your busi-ness, return the car, scan the card again. Billing is automat-
ed and we’ll see you next time. “The rental transaction
takes 30 seconds and the car only opens to the renter,” Chase said.
“So it’s self-service, autono-mous and takes only a few seconds.”
Zipcar membership starts with a $25 application and a screening review that takes about a week. Driver eligibility varies between countries and car-share companies and com-monly includes a minimum age, a valid driver’s licence and a solid driving record.
Most car-sharing compan-ies offer a variety of policies and payment plans to fit a client’s driving needs and preferences.
Some charge on a pay-as-you-go plan, some include a monthly and/or annual fee. Others, like a taxi service, start with a base rate and add fees for every kilometre driv-en past a specified distance.
In addition to urban areas, Zipcar has also
become widely popular on college campuses, where driv-ing demands for students are few and vehicle ownership is more of a luxury than a neces-sity.
According to a Zipcar rep-resentative at the University of Notre Dame — one of about 200 college campuses around the world that hosts a car-sharing outpost — vehicles rent for about $9 an hour and $80 a day (any 24-hour per-iod). The first 180 miles (290 kilometres) are “free” with a
per-kilometre charge beyond that.
The per-hour and per-kilo-metre fees seem high at first glance, but considering there are no residual costs such as refueling or insurance — and that the minimum period is less than the standard rental of 24 hours — the savings can add up quickly for the right kind of driver.
If you commute to work daily, serve as the family chauffer, drive long dis-tances or live in a rural
area, car sharing is not a vi-able transportation option compared to the obvious ad-vantages of vehicle owner-ship.
But if driving needs are minimal, and the cost of car sharing outweighs the price of ownership, then this latest transportation option might be the perfect choice.
“It’s like the car you always wanted that your mom said you couldn’t have,” Chase said. “All the good stuff, and none of the bad.”
Autoknow. ‘Car sharing’, the new way of renting, addresses several pet peeves and for some may present a cost-effective alternative to ownership

Horoscopes
Aries March 21 - April 20 If someone starts looking into your private affairs then you have every right to tell them to mind their own business. Don’t be too forceful though or they may think you have something to hide and look even more.
Taurus April 21 - May 21 You are in a restless mood at the moment and it’s unlikely you will be in the same place when the Sun goes down. For some reason, your surround-ings no longer excite you.
Gemini May 22 - June 21 You will be in a charitable mood today and there is nothing wrong with that, but if you are going to give money away make sure it is to genuinely worthy causes.
Cancer June 22 - July 23 You may not be able to explain the way you feel but that’s probably no bad thing. If you dwell too much on your emotions today, you won’t get much work done. Make sure your head rules your heart.
Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 It seems you don’t know whether to control your desires or indulge them. From past experience, you know that if you hold back, you are likely to regret it later on. Have fun.
Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You may want to sit on the fence in some kind of domestic dispute but the planets won’t let you. Like it or not, you have to choose sides and hope it all works out amicably in the end. Don’t worry, it will.
Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Take your pleasures where you find them and don’t worry that some of those you live and work with don’t seem able to get much joy out of life. You can’t change their outlook.
Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Things are going so well for you at the moment that you may be a bit worried. Will fate turn round and slap you down? No. Though if you start thinking that way, you increase the chances of it occurring.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Why are you letting minor matters assume major importance, at least in your mind? Whatever the reason you need to snap out of it —not later but right now.
Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 You may be the kind of person who prefers the tried and trusted. But the more you chop and change and move around today, the more fun you will have. If travelling on your own, you won’t be alone for long.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 It’s good that you are easygoing and it’s good that you like to help people but don’t forget that not everyone thinks and feels the same way. Be on your guard today as someone may try to cheat you.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 Don’t bother asking friends for an opinion on what you are doing. It’s unlikely they will be honest with you. The reason you are asking is that you have doubts yourself. SALLY BROMPTON
