High-ranking Toronto Humane Societyofficials facing shocking allegations ofanimal cruelty saw their charges droppedyesterday after the Crown laid out a mul-titude of constitutional problems withsearch warrants.
The charges were laid in November ina highly publicized Ontario Society forthe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals raidthat saw then-president Tim Trow andfour other senior managers trotted out inhandcuffs before television cameras.
The OSPCA called the humane societya “house of horrors” in which it allegedsick and dying animals were neglected,food was covered in feces and a mummi-fied cat was found in the ceiling.
But because of serious flaws with thelegality and execution of the search war-rants, there is no reasonable prospect of
conviction, the Crown said in a court doc-ument scathing in its indictment of OSP-CA actions.
The presence of members of the mediawhen the warrants were executed,seizures of irrelevant documents andsearch warrants that didn’t expire wereamong the litany of problems the Crownidentified.THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘Premier Dad’ notafraid of knockoutMixed martial arts, onlinegambling — is it time tosay goodbye to “PremierDad”?
Premier Dalton McGuin-ty insisted yesterday thathe’s not worried his flip-flops on the controversialsport or Internet wageringwill tarnish his Boy Scoutimage.
“I never knew I hadone,” he said with chuckle.
McGuinty had alwaysdismissed the idea of al-lowing the combat sportsaying it just wasn’t a pri-ority for Ontario families.
But he gave the sportanother look because theeconomy is now on themend, McGuinty ex-plained after a speech inWindsor to Ontario mu-nicipalities.
The governing Liberalstook a “serious look” atMMA during the last cau-cus meeting, and decidedto give it their blessingover the weekend aftergauging public opinion onthe issue, he said.
“Ontarians have beenpretty straightforwardwith us,” McGuinty added.“They said, ‘We want achoice.’ And we will makesure that they have thatchoice.”
But he acknowledgedthat money was also a mo-tive for his cash-strappedgovernment’s reversal onMMA, saying it will allowOntario to remain “com-petitive” in hosting theevents. Money also ap-peared to factor into the
government’s abrupt deci-sion last week to cash inon Internet gambling, anidea McGuinty had deridedduring his days on the Op-position benches.
It seemed out of charac-ter for a ban-happy govern-ment that has previouslyprohibited pit bulls, pesti-cides, using cellphoneswhile driving, smoking invehicles carrying children,and alcohol for any driverage 21 and under.
“It’s the height ofhypocrisy,” said NDPLeader Andrea Horwath.
But McGuinty dismissedthe suggestion that he’ssending mixed messagesby imposing strict rules onyoung drivers, while allow-ing them to gamble online.
McGuinty defended themove, saying Ontario resi-dents are already gamblingon thousands of websites.THE CANADIAN PRESS

A piece of Toronto’s pastwas unearthed Sunday,courtesy of a summer rainstorm.
That’s when construc-tion workers excavating theback lot of a Staples officesupply store in Leaside rup-tured an underground fueltank — a remnant of a FirstWorld War airfield used totrain pilots, mechanics andmaintenance crews for theRoyal Flying Corps.
The punctured tank did-n’t raise any eyebrows atfirst. The construction com-pany made arrangements tohave the contents pumpedout yesterday.
But then the rain came,kicking off a chain of eventsthat led to the decades-oldchemicals, including avia-
tion fuel and kerosene,seeping into the sewer sys-tem and eventually into thewaters of the Don River.
By yesterday, the fuelspill had been contained bya series of booms and thetank taken away, but Toron-to Fire Capt. Mike Strapko
said his hazardous materi-als team was still a littleshocked over what hadbeen uncovered.
“It’s routine for us to con-trol these kind of spills thatget into the waterways andsewer system ... but this onehas been a little unusual,”he said. “It could have beenmuch worse.”
The airport’s biggestclaim to fame came in 1918when Brian Peck safelylanded the country’s firstairmail flight there.
What authorities didn’trealize at the time was thatPeck had used the deliveryas a guise to transport sever-al cases of liquor from “wet”Montreal to “dry” Torontoat the height of prohibition. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Public Safety Minister VicToews says the almost 500Tamil migrants who ar-rived by freighter lastweek paid as much as$40,000 or $50,000 eachfor the passage, resultingin a massive profit haul forthe smugglers thatbrought them to Canada.
Toews said he’s not sureif every passenger paidthat, but either way, hesaid the voyage was organ-ized to “maximize profit.”
“This was a very prof-itable undertaking, even ifthe boat is eventuallyseized,” Toews said.
“This could afford acriminal organization witha lot of money. Whether ornot the individuals on the
ship are actually part ofthe criminal organization,certainly the amount ofmoney paid goes to fi-nance a criminal organiza-tion.”
RCMP confirmed a 37-year-old man died of an un-specified illness during thevoyage, about three weeksbefore the ship came intoCanadian waters.
Toews says the ownersof the MV Sun Sea alwayshad their sights set onCanada and were part of acriminal enterprise, possi-bly the Tamil Tigers.
He said the small shiphad sanitation facilitiesthat had undergone majorrenovations to accommo-date hundreds of people.
Reports say two moreships are poised to headCanada’s way, but Toewssaid he didn’t know howmany there might be.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Gentlemen, plug in your motorsUsing custom built two-seater electric vehicles that will be charged from regularpower outlets along the way, participants set off on their carbon-neutral trip, ex-pected to visit 150 cities before returning to Geneva in January.
Electric cars. Road trip
Teams from Australia, Germany and Switzerland set off from Geneva yesterday for what
they hope will be the first carbon neutral race around the world, using electric vehicles.
They may have success inbringing home the bucks,but new research suggestsfemale breadwinners maybe less victorious in thelove department when itcomes to their male part-ners staying faithful.
In the paper’s abstract,the author argues that formen, making less moneythan their female partnermay be a threat to theirgender identity “by callinginto question the tradition-al notion of men as bread-
winners.”“I think one of the
things is it’s not threaten-ing for women to makeless than her partner.That’s the status quo,” saidthe study’s author ChristinMunsch, a sociology PhDcandidate at Cornell Uni-versity.
“It’s based on our sort ofcultural idea of what itmeans to be a man andwhat it means to be awoman,” she said.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Taliban militants stoned ayoung couple to death foradultery after they ranaway from their families innorthern Afghanistan, offi-cials said yesterday.
Amnesty Internationalsaid it was the first con-firmed stoning inAfghanistan since the fallof Taliban rule in the 2001U.S.-led invasion.
The Taliban-orderedkilling comes at a timewhen international rightsgroups have raised worriesthat attempts to negotiatewith the Taliban to bringpeace to Afghanistan couldmean a step backward forhuman rights in the coun-try. When the Islamist ex-tremists ruledAfghan istan, women werenot allowed to leave theirhouses without a maleguardian, and publickillings for violations oftheir harsh interpretationof the Qur’an were com-mon.
This weekend’s stoningappeared to arise from anaffair between a marriedman and a single womanin Kunduz province’s
Dasht-e-Archi district.The woman, Sadiqa,
was 20 years old and en-gaged to another man, saidthe Kunduz provincial po-lice chief, Gen. Abdul RazaYaqoubi.
Her lover, 28-year-oldQayum, left his wife to runaway with her, and thetwo had holed up in afriend’s house five daysago, said district govern-ment head, MohammadAyub Aqyar.
They were discoveredby Taliban operatives Sun-day and stoned to death infront a crowd of about 150men, Aqyar said.
“Amnesty Internationalhas warned that theAfghan governmentshould not sacrifice hu-man rights, particularlythe rights of women andminorities, in the name ofreconciliation with the Tal-iban and other insurgentgroups,” Amnesty said.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HST blamed afterhome sales dry up
Home sales
British Columbia had thebiggest dropoff at 14.1 percent, followed by Ontariowith an eight per cent de-cline. Sales in the Prairiesand Quebec were on parwith June levels.
The Canadian Real Estate
Association says the paceof decline was slower thanin May and June — whichfollowed an extremelybusy period early this year.
Activity this year is still up5.6 per cent compared tothe first seven months oflast year, but the gap is ex-pected to shrink as theyear progresses.
CREA says the averageprice of homes soldthrough the Multiple List-ing Service was $330,351,up one per cent from ayear ago.
Canadian homes sales ac-tivity last month was down30 per cent from a yearearlier — a decline drivenlargely by a widely expect-ed slowdown following theintroduction of a new taxregime in the once-hotmarkets of B.C. and On-tario.
The Canadian Real Es-tate Association says July’sdata from the MultipleListing Service, which han-dles the bulk of Canadianhome resales transactions,continued a months-longcooling trend in the once-bustling real estate sector.
“The soft sales figureswe’re seeing right now canbe attributed in part to ac-celerated home purchasesearlier in the year,” saidCREA president GeorgesPahud.
“Activity may remain at
lower levels for some time,but ultimately we expect amore stable market toemerge, with demandcoming back into line witheconomic fundamentals.”
On a seasonally adjust-ed basis, sales were down6.8 per cent from June.
CREA says the decline
was almost entirely the re-sult of fewer sales inBritish Columbia and On-tario, where the harmo-nized sales tax was im-plemented July 1, prompt-ing many would-be buyersto push sales forward intothe first half of the year.THE CANADIAN PRESS

After I had spent halfan hour rummagingthrough anenormous pile ofclothes, I eventuallydecided to throw on
an old standby summer dress. Iemerged from the closet in afun, flirty (and maybe most im-portantly, forgiving) frock onlyto be met with unappreciativegroans from my boyfriend whohad been patiently waiting whileI had my wardrobe-related melt-down.
“Couldn’t you wearsomething a little tighter?” heasked, eyeing my flowy, empirewaist garment. “That looks a lit-
tle bit like a tent.”Apparently, my testosterone-
fuelled roommate is not a fan ofcomfort overcurves. I decided tokeep the dress onregardless; this washardly the firsttime we had feud-ed over fashion.
Our most memo-rable clash was ourwar of words overthe siren-redlipstick. I say sexybombshell, he saysun-kissable harlot.It seems most mendo not appreciatepuckering up tosomeone with anintensely pigment-ed mouth.
Why do men and women havesuch vastly different opinions on
our favourite items of clothing? Ihave to assume that guys don’treally care about the clothes
themselves;they’re more con-cerned with howwe look in them.Figure trumpsfashion, and so thetrends that wefind en vogue areoften given athumbs down bythe men in ourlives.
Looking back,we’ve all madesome style faux-pas at one point oranother. In the’90s, my middle-school self had a
bad perm and an even moreheinous collection of Frenchberets.
I guess I’ve always taken anexperimental approach to fash-ion. This year alone I’ve dabbledin bold shoulder pads, floral hairbands, faux fur vests, clogs, pas-tel blue nail polish — hell, I evenown a pair of jeggings. But moreoften than not these looks aremet with an eyebrow raise froma partner who doesn’t seem toappreciate my penchant forachingly trendy items.
So what fashion fad do menhate the most? UGGs. Yes,according to a recent study (andby that I mean an informal pollof my male friends and cowork-ers) these ubiquitously frumpyboots top the tragic trend list.
Sorry guys, but as long asthere are mid-Februarysnowstorms and icy sidewalks,you’ll find us stomping throughthe slush in our hideously practi-cal footwear.
The other day, I foundmyself standing in my clos-et with a serious case ofnothing-to-wear syndrome.
“Why do menand women have
such vastlydifferent
opinions on ourfavourite itemsof clothing? I
have to assumethat guys don’t
really care aboutthe clothes
themselves.”

OTTAWA. I am all in favourof using helmets when bik-ing. They protect your nog-gin and are a goodplatform for bright reflec-tive stickers.
But if a law discourageshealthy activity, even casu-al cycling for errands andother trips, the gain insafety from accidents isless than the unhealthy ef-fects of inactivity.
Studies in Nova Scotiaand Australia and otherplaces have recordedsignificant and largedecreases in cycling whenhelmets were mademandatory for adults. InEurope, few cyclists wearhelmets, but their injuryand fatality rate is much
less than North Americawhere a greater proportionwear helmets.
The more cyclists thereare, the lower the accidentrate is, so discouraging cy-cling actually increases thedanger to the remainingcyclists. When helmet lawswere introduced in NovaScotia, there were fewer cy-clists and a greater propor-tion wearing helmets —
but just as many injuredcyclists.
More cycling also meansless air pollution and lesswear and tear on the roads.
The biggest safety bene-fit of helmet laws is largelyfor kids.
I think the greatest dan-ger comes from lesscycling, not legislating bi-cycle helmets for adults. TOM TROTTIER

Metro Minute onBathurst StreetIf Dickens were still alive,he’d call it the ghost ofstreetcars past. Since he’snot, he can commence hisproverbial grave-roll overthe abuse of his genius todescribe tracks alongBathurst Street that runnorthbound to nowhere.
The tracks once enjoyeda long, fruitful life trans-porting TTC riders all theway up to St. Clair Avenue.
When Bloor stationopened in 1966, the tracksstill ran streetcars from thehistoric Wychwood car-house along Bathurst. Afterthe carhouse closed in1978, so did the route.
As the St. Clair line hasmanaged to avoid a similarfate, the tracks have re-mained in the event of aneventual resurrection.

No one wantsthe summerto end, but atleast there’sa bright side— a plethora
of records get released be-tween now and the end ofthe year. Here are a fewdiscs to lookout for in theback half of 2010.
Weezer — Hurley(Sept. 14)
Even though Weezer’slast few records haven’t res-onated much with long-time fans, people still getexcited when RiversCuomo releases a newrecord. This is the first timethey’ve put out a disc on anindie label (Epitaph) andthey’re claiming it’s areturn to their indie-rock
roots. First singleMemories, is hopefully anindication of how the restof the disc sounds — it’s aloud, driving, riff-heavyrock number, and it’s reallygood.
The Walkmen — Lisbon(Sept. 14)
This gritty New Yorkfour-piece rose to indie-rock fame with their 2004sophomore record Bows &Arrows and have beenconsistently strong since.While they continue tomake gravelly, amped-upDylan-inspired sounds,they’re also not afraid toturn down the distortion.That’s clear from theirnew songs on MySpace.Stranded is a quiet balladwith sad sounding hornsand minimal guitars; An-
gela Surf City is the oppo-site — it’s got manicdrums, an aggressive wallof distortion andHamilton Leithauser’sbrilliant wail.
Antony and the Johnsons— Swanlights (Oct. 12)Antony Hegarty is
proof that you don’t needto be a Maroon 5-wanabeeif you want a successfulmusic career. His band,Antony and the Johnsons,have made a name forthemselves playing soft,dramatic chamber pop.The 2005 Mercury Prizewinner’s last disc waspretty depressing so it’s anice to change to hearnew single Thank You ForYour Love — an upbeatsoul number that showsoff Hegarty’s happier side.
Kanye West —Good Ass Job (Nov. 16)There’s almost no artist
who can generate pre-album buzz like KanyeWest. Last week, out of theblue, he released an unmas-tered version of a new songon his website. (It’s sincebeen taken down.) If thistrack is any indication, hisfifth record will be a big im-provement over the lacklus-ter, auto-tune mistake 808s& Heartbreaks. The song,See Me Now, is an upbeatnumber layered with choir-like background vocals andan aggressive R&B choruscourtesy of Beyoncé. Thedisc also features contribu-tion and productions cred-its from Kid Cudi, Q-Tip,Pete Rock, RZA, and appar-ently, Bon Ivor’s Justin Ver-non.
ANTICIPATION HIGH FOR FALL DISCS
Jill Hennessy’s performanceat the Rivoli today willbring back a lot of memo-ries.
Twenty years ago, thepopular Canadian actress,best known for her work inLaw and Order and Cross-ing Jordan, used to earn herkeep by standing outsidethe Queen Street (Toronto)club, strumming a guitarand singing for sparechange.
At the time, Hennessy
hadn’t really thought of act-ing. An audition for theBroadway musical, TheBuddy Holly Story, wouldeventually get her to NewYork and an enviable careeras an actress.
Back then, her life cen-tred around music and justgetting the rent paid. Dur-ing the past few years —-freed from the distractionsof a hit TV show —- Hen-nessy has been able to refo-cus her talents on music.The result is her debut al-bum, Ghost in my Head.
Hennessy, 41, laughswhen reminded of her
busking career back in theearly ’90s: “Outside the Riv-oli was where I used to playguitar for money. It will besuch a luxury to actuallyplay inside for money forthe very first time.”
Hennessy was born inEdmonton, but raised inseveral different cities inCanada as her family fol-lowed her salesman fatherfrom job to job — Calgary,then White Rock and Cran-brook in B.C., Burlington,Kitchener and Waterloo inOntario. At the age of 18,she found herself living byherself in downtown
Toronto and took to thestreets.
Through the influence ofher parents’ record collec-tion, Hennessy’s musicaltastes were formed listen-ing to the songs of JoniMitchell, James Taylor andGordon Lightfoot. Her newalbum follows that ‘70ssinger-songwriter tradition.
“They’re songs that a lotof people can relate to,”Hennessy says in an inter-view with Metro. “These arethe images that have beenhaunting me for a very longtime so I did find them nec-essary to put down.”
Many of the songs inspired by her unsettled family life across Canada
Hennessy gets backto her musical roots
CanadiandoublethreatsBeside Jill Hennessythere have been sever-al other Canadiancross-over actors/musi-cians. Here are someof the other noteableones:
Alanis Morissette:The Jagged Little Pillsinger from Ottawahad the honour ofplaying God in KevinSmith’s Dogma and isa regular on Weeds.
Hugh Dillon: Thelead singer of the ’90srock band theHeadstones is now thestar of Flashpoint andDurham County.

REPORTING FROM TCA PRESS TOUR
Glee-fully awaiting Season 2
Big-name musicians are stillclamoring to have their musicon the show“I got a mix tape from Paul Mc-Cartney a couple weeks ago,”Murphy admitted. “I thought Iwas being punked. It was … twoCDs and it said, ‘Hi, Ryan. I hopeyou would consider some ofthese songs for Glee,’ and thenit said ‘Paul.’ It had these hugesongs [on it]. I know that he is …a fan of the show and justadmires and loves that it’sabout art education. We are go-
ing to do something with him.”
Don’t expect Glee: The Col-lege Years anytime soon“We’ve sort of mapped out thefirst four years with our originalcast,” Murphy said. “But I think,you know, we have an obliga-tion to be true to the highschool experience. I don’t wantto do a thing where we wake upand Episode 5 is five years in thefuture and they’re all living inthe same condo complex.”
But there’s room for originalmusic in Season 2, too“We are going to have an orig-
inal-music episode,” Murphysaid. “The assignment will befor the [actors] to write theirown music. And we’re talkingto some great songwriters —and, of course, we’ll be work-ing with Adam [Anders, Gleemusic producer] on who thosepeople will be.”
Britney Spears gets a tributeepisode“We’re going to do the BritneySpears [tribute episode] in avery unusual way,” Murphyteased. “My favorite thingabout the Britney Spears thingis [star] Matt Morrison was
asked if we were doing it, andhe said, ‘Oh, I hope not.’ So theentire episode is him saying‘No, we’re not doing BritneySpears.’”
Sue Sylvester may be head-ing to a bookstore near you“We’re going to have JaneLynch’s character, Sue Sylvester,write her own autobiography,”Murphy explained, referencingtie-ins to the series. “Then [we’llhave] Jane on the show as Suetalk about, ‘My book’s almostfinished,’ and then hopefully goout on a little bit of book tourand sign as Sue Sylvester.”

Gunless off targetGunlessGenre: Action Director: William PhillipsStars: Paul Gross881⁄2The pistol is primed, butthe gunpowder is damp.
Actor Paul Gross (TV’sDue South) and writer/di-rector William Phillips(Foolproof), brainy guysboth, pass up an opportu-nity to really have at cross-border cultural traits.They only mildly spoof theAmerican love of guns andthe Canadian abhorrenceof them.
It’s 1882 and U.S. gun-slinger The Montana Kid(Gross) arrives in Barclay’sBrush (pop. 29), a hamletin the “Dominion of Cana-da.”
On the run from bountyhunters (led by Gross’s old
Due South pal Callum Kei-th Rennie), he’s barelymade it across the border,strapped to his trustysteed and carryingunwanted lead in his hide.
When a localblacksmith (Tyler Mane)offers assistance, he’sgreeted with a Colt .45 inhis face and the demandof a sundown shootout. Arapturous farmer (Sienna
Guillory) scowls, pointingto the very Canadian disin-clination of Barclay’sBrush inhabitants to carryhandguns.
Gunless does have itsheady moments. They in-clude a sublimesoundtrack by Blue Rodeostalwart Greg Keelor andevocative lensing by cine-matographer Gregory Mid-dleton. PETER HOWELL

Mel Gibson was unin-jured after crashing hissports car into a Malibuhillside, the CaliforniaHighway Patrol said.
Gibson's 2008 Maseraticareened off southbound
Malibu Canyon Road onSunday evening, theagency said.
Gibson's spokesmanAlan Nierob said in anemail the actor-directorwas doing fine.
The 54-year-old Acade-my Award winner wasalone in the car. Authori-ties do not suspect alcoholwas involved.
Gibson co-operatedwith the agency and was
picked up from the sceneby a friend. The CHP didnot release any further de-tails, and it was unclearhow much damage Gib-son's car sustained.
It's been a rough coupleof months for Gibson, whois locked in a bitter cus-tody dispute over his in-fant daughter withRussian singer OksanaGrigorieva. He also re-mained under investiga-tion by the Los AngelesCounty Sheriff's Depart-ment for an alleged assaulton Grigorieva earlier thisyear, although he has notbeen arrested and nocharges have been filed.
Grigorieva, 40, is alsounder investigation afterGibson accused her of at-tempting to extort him.She has denied the allega-tion. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ketchup? Mustard?
Extra statin?U.K. doctor suggests adding cholesterol fighting drug to fast food
Now we’ve heard every-thing! A doctor in the U.K.is suggesting fast food out-lets provide statin drugswith their hamburgers.
The idea does havesome logic behind it. Ham-burgers, French fries andonion rings are known toincrease the bad LDL cho-lesterol circulating in ourbloodstreams. Statin drugsare known to reduce badcholesterol. But, hey, whatabout avoiding that fastfood meal altogether?
Dr. Darrel Frances fromthe Imperial College inLondon argues that it’stough to get people to stopeating hamburgers, so whynot reduce their heart dis-ease risk by having statinsreadily available? The pillscould be an optional condi-ment, he says, like
ketchup.He and colleagues
found in a study that beingon a statin drug neutral-izes the effect of eatingbadly. “We’ve worked outthat in terms of your likeli-
hood of having a heart at-tack, taking a statin can re-duce your risk to more orless the same degree as afast food meal increasesit,” he reports.
Never mind that statins
are medications, andtherefore associated withside effects, though theseare fairly rare. The studywas published recently inthe American Journal ofCardiology.

More and more youngCanadians are experienc-ing osteo-arthritic symp-toms, according to recentstudies.
While exercise is a goodway to prevent osteoarthri-tis (OA), it appears thatyoung people who play toohard, or exercise withoutprotecting their joints, canend up with joint pain thatused to be more commonamong their parents orgrandparents.
A 2009 study found thatpeople engaged in highlevels of physical activitysustained more severeknee injuries, includingsuch damage as fluidbuildup and torn cartilageand ligaments. Tennis, ski-ing and skateboarding can
be hard on the knees.Hockey can lead to hip,knee and wrist damage.These types of injury candramatically increase like-lihood of developing os-teoarthritis (OA).
Another factor behindOA in young people is obe-sity. Excess weight putsstrain on joints and in-creases one's risk of injuryfrom even simple day-to-day activities.
Glucosamine sulfate,chondroitin sulfate andMSM are among the mostpopular natural supple-ments used for joint careand repair, according toDr. Joyce Johnson, con-sumer education specialistat WN Pharmaceuticals. NEWS CANADA
How tokeep jointspain freeKeep your joints healthy,mobile and pain-free withsome basic lifestyle choic-es.
Exercise that does notstress the joints can helpreduce toxic stress, im-prove muscle tone and im-

maintain a healthy weightas excess weight puts pres-sure on your joints.
Focus on foods that en-hance joint flexibility andlubrication. Studies showthat a low protein diet,with lots of fresh antioxi-dant fruits and berries aswell as complex carbohy-drates, can help preventosteo-arthritis. NEWS CANADA

Breasts at age seven? Anew study has found thatpuberty is occurring earli-er and earlier in girls.
This may not be healthysince it puts them at high-er risk for social and emo-tional problems, and mayslightly elevate theirchances of developing can-cer later in life.
For the study, 1,239 girlsbetween age six and eightwere recruited in threeU.S. cities: Manhattan, SanFrancisco and Cincinnati.Most of the girls were ei-
ther of white, black or His-panic descent. Examinerswere carefully trained tocheck girls’ breasts andrate their stage of develop-ment.
At age seven, 23 percent of black girls, 15 percent of Hispanic girls and10 per cent of white girlshad breast development.By the time they reachedage eight, 43 per cent ofblack girls, 31 per cent ofHispanic girls and 18 percent of white girls wereconsidered on the cusp ofpuberty. These numberswere higher than whenmeasurements were madein a 1997 study.
Why is puberty occur-ring earlier? Higher ratesof obesity is thought to beone cause. Heavier girlsare more likely to growbreasts earlier. They are al-so more at risk for diseaselater in life: diabetes, heartdisease and some cancers.Another theory is that en-vironmental chemicalsmay be speeding up puber-ty by mimicking estrogenin the body.
Budding breasts canforce young girls to dealwith difficult grown-up is-sues they aren’t ready for,such as sexual advancesand hormone-relatedmood swings.

Obesity
We all know that obesity
in children can lead to in-
creased risk of type 2 dia-
betes, some cancers and
heart disease. But many
people don’t realize
there’s another problem
lurking among overweight
kids: fatty liver disease.
Fatty liver disease It usedto be an ailment onlyfound in adults. Now, it’soccurring in kids as youngas four. It happens whenfat accumulates in the liv-er, and the liver swells. TheCanadian Liver Foundationreports that fatty liver dis-ease is found in about halfof obese children. Therearen’t any specificsymptoms, just a feeling ofbeing unwell. Doctors cantest for this disease. It isbest to prevent it bycutting down on junk food,eating less fat and more fi-bre, avoiding pop, eatinglots of fruit and vegetablesexercising every day
Childhood obesity on the
rise
Puberty is occurring earlierin children and one of theculprits is excess fat. InCanada, obesity rates inchildren and young peoplehave nearly tripled in thelast 25 years.

It’s pretty typical thesedays to have a mixedcrowd at your dinner par-ty with many differenttastes and needs. But fearnot, you can still throw afabulous, down-home din-ner party to please every-one.
“The idea is to have amenu that is diverseenough to appeal to allparties,” says CorbinTomaszeski, co-host ofDinner Party Wars, whichpremieres Sept. 1 at 9 p.m.on the Food NetworkCanada. For hosting yourown dinner party, he sug-gests starting with old-time favourites such aspasta, rice or classic Ital-ian risotto dishes andadding meat or fish forthe carnivores.
For vegetarians, trybean cassoulet or veg-etable ragout, suggestsTomaszeski, who is alsothe executive chef atToronto’s fashionableHolts Café (Holt Renfrew).Keep it fresh for everyone— including those whoare dieting or cleansing —with soups and stews, sal-ads, and chopped freshvegetables. Avoid shellfishand nuts, so that thosewith allergies can sharethe fare. “The trick is toprepare a dish withoutreinventing it but that canbe modular for all guestswith dietary restrictionsor allergies.”
Even the simple, one-pot wonder can work at adinner party. “Right nowthere’s a huge trend ofpeople cooking easy, clas-
sic dishes that go back tothe roots of cooking andare reminiscent of com-fort foods that we grew upwith,” says Tomaszeski.“Cook foods you’re famil-iar with; take the ordinaryand make it extraordinary.
“Preparing and eatingfood should spark a mem-ory. If it doesn’t, it shouldmake one.”
You can serve your din-ner party family-stylewithout sacrificing quali-ty. It’s all in the presenta-tion. “Use big, lovelyplatters or terrines. Orbowls that sit on the tableand get passed around,”suggests Tomaszeski.
If you want to take abreak from your own din-ner party triumphs anddisasters, tune into Din-ner Party Wars. Each showfeatures three couplesover three nights of com-petition to see which oneis best at setting the table,choosing the menu, cook-ing, leading the conversa-tion and keeping thekitchen on track.

It’s not easy being anorganic wine
It’s not that easy beinggreen when it comes toorganic wines. As a wine-maker you not only haveto be committed to meet-ing some pretty strictguidelines to become acertified organic produc-er; you then have to con-vince consumers thatyou’re not short-changing them when itcomes to flavour.
While I’ve sipped myfair share of organicwines that tasted likelicking a manure pile; thequality and selection oforganic juice available to-day has never beenbetter. In fact, with mostI’d bet you’d never evenknow you were drinkinga wine that was madewithout chemical inter-vention in the vineyard.
Bonterra Vineyards inCalifornia’s MendocinoCounty has been making

It’s good for acouple of laughsFor Sascha Rothchild,finding the humor in herdivorce helped her andalso led to her book, Howto Get Divorced by 30.Universal scooped up thefilm rights and she’s hap-py to show the morelight-hearted side of whatplenty of couples gothrough: “You don’t have
to go findyourself inItaly,” shesays. “In the’40s and’50s, therewere allthesefantastic,
funny divorce movies:His Girl Friday, The AwfulTruth. It’s weird — now ithas to be this sad, horri-ble thing.”
Maybe you were inspiredby Elizabeth Gilbert’s post-divorce mission to findherself (and, incidentally, ahot new boyfriend) in Eat,Pray, Love, her 2006 mem-oir chronicling her “searchfor everything across Italy,India and Indonesia.”Maybe it turned you into aspiteful, hungry atheist.Doesn’t matter: Not onlydid her book sell millionsof copies, but its film adap-tation opens this Fridaystarring none other thanJulia Roberts.
Why do we want toknow, and why do theywant to tell? We hit up oth-er divorce memoir writers— there were, maybe notsurprisingly, plenty tochoose from — for an-swers.
Divorce, write,publish, sell
The popular divorce memoir Eat,Pray, Love has plenty of company
Julia Roberts stars in the
film version of Eat, Pray, Love.
Every story isdifferentStacy Morrison decidedto write Falling Apart inOne Piece after beingsurrounded by womenat cocktail parties whowere curious about herdivorce — and it wasn’texactly a simple story totell. “The goal was to
say ‘Here’swhat itlooks like,’”she says.“I think it’sfunny, andmore than alittle f—ed
up, that we alwaysthink there’s a rat bas-tard.”
Most people needpractical adviceAlthough Jessica Bramcalls Gilbert an “amazingwriter,” it didn’t resonatewith her experience as amother of three who hadlong been out of the dat-ing pool and work. Herbook, Happily Ever AfterDivorce: Notes of a JoyfulJourney speaks to those
who don’thave a yearto go on va-cation.“Most peo-ple havemore thingsto worryabout,” she
says. “This is the book Iwish I had when I was go-ing through my divorce.”
“Tommy and I (Malisa) firstmet at a restaurant nearour schools in 1998; I was13 and he was 15. We bothhappened to order thesame lunch at the sametime.
We laughed it off andstarted chatting. Therewere some sparks at thetime, and we dated for abit, but we both agreed wewere too young for any-thing serious, so we driftedapart. Seven years later, inMarch 2005, we went out
for a casual dinner andthose sparks started flyingagain! We moved in togeth-er just a few weeks later,and have been inseparableever since. Tommy cameback into my life at the per-fect time, as my motherpassed away to cancer
shortly thereafter in July ofthat year. It was definitely adifficult time for me. Weboth realized how muchwe’ve been through togeth-er, and we could not imag-ine our lives without eachother. In 2008, Tommy pro-posed with my mother’s
engagement ring, whichshe’d given him before herpassing. We’re happierthan ever and are so excit-ed about our wedding insummer 2012!”FOR MORE HOW WE MET STORIES, GO TO 2FORCOUPLES.COM

I’m a big fanof keepingthings sim-ple but itisn’t easy inthis compli-
cated financial world. Atypical family has multi-ple credit cards, debitcards, loans, investmentaccounts (RRSP, RESP, TF-SA, RRIF) and often non-registered accounts aswell.
Add to that a raft ofbills from utilities to cellphones and it’s a stagger-ing number of client IDs,PINs and passwords to re-member.
A few years ago, when Ilogged on to my bank ac-
count from my husband’scomputer, I was asked aseries of security ques-tions “for my own protec-tion.” I’ve had theaccount for years and forthe life of me I couldn’t re-member the answers tothe questions I’d posedway back when. Afterthree incorrect answers Iwas shut out.
A vast number of my fi-nancial activities are con-trolled through thataccount and I was para-lyzed for two days, duringwhich I hoped the bankcomputer would simply“forget” I’d already struckout. No such luck. Finally,I summoned the fortitudeto enter the dreaded callcentre queue.
Fortunately, I hadrecorded my telephonepin on what I call a Finan-cial Bomb Shelter -— aspreadsheet of my cyberand telephone life. Lessonlearned. I went back intoeach account and record-ed all my security ques-tions on the spreadsheet.
My system is handy incase of disaster or some-thing as mundane as amemory lapse. And whilewe’re exhorted not tocommit things like pass-words, PINs and ID num-bers to paper, I defy theaverage working Joe or Jillto remember every singlecyber code in their lives.
Keep your FinancialBomb Shelter safe and itwill keep you safe.

There’s good news for par-ents who worry that theirteenagers’ sex lives are af-fecting their school per-formance: A provocativenew study has found thatteens in committed rela-tionships do no better orworse in school thanthose who don’t have sex.
The same isn’t true forteens who “hook up.” Re-searchers found thatthose who have casualflings get lower gradesand have more school-re-lated problems comparedwith those who abstain.
The findings, presentedSunday at a meeting ofthe American SociologicalAssociation in Atlanta,challenge to some extentassumptions that sexuallyactive teens tend to dopoorer in school.
It’s not so muchwhether a teen has sexthat determines academicsuccess, the researcherssay, but the type of sexualrelationship they’re en-gaged in. Teens in serious
relationships may find so-cial and emotional sup-port in their sex partners,reducing their anxietyand stress levels in lifeand in school.
“This should give somecomfort to parents who
may be concerned thattheir teenage son ordaughter is dating,” saidsociologist Peggy Gior-dano of Bowling GreenState University, who hadno role in the research.Teen sex is “not going toderail their educationaltrajectories,” she said.
For the study, Universi-
ty of California, Davis so-ciologist Bill McCarthyand University of Min-nesota sociologist EricGrodsky analyzed surveysand school transcriptsfrom the largest nationalfollow-up study of teensthat began during the1994-95 academic year.The researchers said not
much has changed interms of when teens firsthave sex or attitudes to-ward teen sex in the pastdecade.
The duo examined howteens’ sexual behavioursaffected their learningand controlled for factorsthat might influence theirresults. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Teen flings bad, but sex in a relationshipdoes not affect grades
Teens in serious relationships are less likely tohave problems in school, be suspended or absent
Teens in relationships do no better or worse in school than those who don’t have sex.

Seven games into his CFLcareer, quarterback CleoLemon is getting by, thanksto a lot of help from hisfriends.
The former NFL quarter-back admits he’s still ad-justing to the Canadiangame. But Lemon says thesurprising Toronto Arg-onauts — tied atop the EastDivision standings at 5-2with Montreal after beatingthe defending Grey Cupchampions 37-22 on Satur-day night — are making hisjob easier.
“Every week I continueto take steps in the right di-rection,” Lemon said.“Right now, with the waythe guys are playing aroundme, it makes my job easierbecause everyone haspicked their level of playup.
“I feel comfortableknowing if I just get the ballto the right guys they willtake care of the rest.”
Lemon signed with theArgos in the off-season afterspending seven seasons inthe NFL. Not only didLemon have to get used to anew team in a new country,he had to learn a new andvery different brand of foot-ball.
As for the Argos, they arethe talk of the CFL so far. Af-ter missing the playoffs thelast two years and winningjust seven games over thatspan, Toronto is tied withMontreal for the league’sbest record behind Calgary(6-1).THE CANADIAN PRESS

Extension for Kaberle?Maple Leafs GM says he’ll ‘talk about it’ in training camp
After entertaining offers forTomas Kaberle — thoughnone apparently of muchvalue — and being thwart-ed in previous attempts totrade the smooth-skatingdefender, the Maple Leafswill now take a differenttact.
They’ll attempt to nego-tiate a contract extensionwith the defenceman whowon’t go away.
“When training campstarts, we’ll sit down andtalk about it,” said BrianBurke, the Leafs generalmanager and the man whodeemed none of the offershe received for Kaberle tobe a worthy exchange.
“If I made the offerswhich teams gave us pub-lic, it would be unanimousin the GTA that we should
have kept Tomas Kaberle,”said Burke. “Not close tounanimous. Not over-whelming. Unanimous.”
“I said from the get-go, ifwe didn’t get what wewanted we were keeping
him.”That’s how quickly
things can change in theNHL’s salary cap world.
If another team had metthe Leafs price — presum-ably a top six forward or asolid package of futures —Kaberle would have startedpacking on the weekend.
Now, with Kaberle’s no-trade clause kicking back inat midnight Sunday, it isthe Leafs who will decide ifthey can meet the 32-year-old’s price long term.
It won’t be easy. It’s safeto assume that Kaberle — arelative bargain at $4.25million US in the final sea-son of his current deal —will be looking for a raise,likely up to something inthe $5-to-$6 million range. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Talks between the TorontoBlue Jays and first-roundpick Deck McGuire seemedheaded for a game of chick-en with yesterday’s mid-night deadline for signing2010 draft picks.
General manager AlexAnthopoulos scheduled a12:15 a.m. ET conferencecall this morning with me-dia in a sign the team ex-pects negotiations with theGeorgia Tech right-hander,and perhaps others, to goright down to the wire.
Both sides had been wait-ing for more signingsaround the 11th spot inwhich McGuire was takento come in to provide a bet-ter sense of where the mar-ket was headed.
By yesterday eveningthey didn’t have many indi-cators to work off, with on-ly the recent deals for No.10 selection Michael Choicefrom Oakland ($2 million
US) and No. 13 Chris Salefrom the White Sox ($1.65million) providing someguideline.
The Blue Jays did get apair of deals done earlier inthe day, signing 15th-roundpick Zak Adams and 17th-round selection Myles Jaye.Both reportedly receivedbonuses well above MajorLeague Baseball’s slot rec-ommendations for picks inthat range, which maymean the team feels itwon’t get some of its higherdraft picks signed.THE CANADIAN PRESS
Down to thewire for Jays
Compensation
Clubs are compensatedwith a selection spot laterin the next year’s draft forunsigned picks from thefirst three rounds, givingGMs some additionalleverage in negotiations.

Yesterday’s answer
Today’s horoscope
Aries March 21-April 20 Youcannot afford to make enemiestoday. If others get angry withyou, for whatever reason, don’tget angry back. Stay calm andrefuse to make an issue of it.
Taurus April 21-May 21 Youseem to be expending a lot ofenergy and a lot of emotionon something that simply isn’tthat important. It’s time to getover it, and also let othersknow that from here on inthey are on their own.
Gemini May 22-June 21 Cos-mic activity in your chartmeans there is nothing youcannot do if you want itenough, but that is not an invi-tation to go out and do every-thing. It’s about quality, notquantity.
Cancer June 22-July 22 Yourfamily may mean everything toyou but you don’t have to putthem first all the time. If youdevote all your energy to do-mestic issues today you willsoon become irritable.
Leo July 23-Aug.23 You arealways impatient with peoplewho think and act slowly, thekind of people who can neverseem to make a decision. Butdon’t get so impatient todaythat you say or do somethingyou might later regret.
Virgo Aug. 24- Sept. 22 Youmay be desperate to break outof a rut but if you make yourmove now you could find your-self in an even worse positionthan before. Be patient. Bettertimes are coming.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23 If yourisk everything now you mayregret it later in the week.What’s the big rush? Believe itor not time is still very muchon your side.
Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22Your main aim today must beto stand back and see what isgoing on in the world from awider perspective, becauseonly from a distance will yoube able to tell what is fact andwhat is fiction.
Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21 Your confidence ishigh but be careful because theline between self-belief and reck-less behaviour can be so easy tocross. Think twice today beforedoing anything that might pro-voke an extreme reaction.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 20Don’t sit around waiting foropportunities to come yourway — get into the world andstart making things happen.
Aquarius Jan. 21-Feb. 18Planetary activity will give youthe decisiveness you need toget things done, along withthe ability to make others feelgood by saying the all rightthings. A winning combina-tion.
Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Byall means speak your mindtoday but speak it in such away that you don’t risk makingenemies of people who dis-agree with your views. Life istoo short to waste time on ar-guments neither side can win.
