News worth sharing.
What, if anything, do leaders’ toursactually mean?
“A leader’s tour is a great barom-eter for how a campaign thinks it’sdoing,” says Conservative strategistTim Powers.
If that’s the case, Stephen Harp-er and Michael Ignatieff have beenplaying a game of back-and-forthin the 905.
Harper has made nine appear-ances in the GTA, four of whichwere in the Brampton area wherethe Conservatives also chose tolaunch their campaign platform.
Most of Harper’s appearanceshave been in key Liberal ridings,although he has attended ralliesfor local Conservative incumbents
Julian Fantino, Peter Kent and PaulCalandra — all of whom hold seatsin former Liberal strongholds.
For his part, Ignatieff has made10 campaign stops in the GTA,three in Liberal territories, four inConservative-held ridings and threein the NDP’s Trinity-Spadina.
The Liberals have vowed to“keep Brampton red,” but thus farIgnatieff has made only one appear-ance in the city, although Bob Raeand Justin Trudeau have both beendispatched to the area. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The quarry lands are to

A resurgent Jack Laytonstarted the day with achurch service in Toronto,buoyed by some polls sug-gesting the party is clos-ing in on the second-placeLiberals.
The NDP leader and hiswife, Olivia Chow, joinedthe party’s candidate — andformer MP — Peggy Nash inthe riding of Parkdale-HighPark for a service at Run-nymede United Church. Atthe end of the service, hejoined members at thefront of the church to singthe Hallelujah chorus.
Ignatieff and other partyleaders have set their sightson Layton recently, un-leashing new attack adsand criticizing his platform.
The spike in the polls forthe NDP is a dramatic
change from earlier in thecampaign, when it lookedlike Layton might struggleto hold on to his existingseats and he was hardlymentioned by other partiesor the media.
The Liberals are pointingout a series of supposed ex-aggerations in the NDPplatform, saying the prom-ises are based on inventedrevenues.
Ignatieff reached out tovoters with a 30-minute tel-evision broadcast as manyfamilies gathered for Eastercelebrations.
The infomercial includ-ed footage of Ignatieff alongthe campaign trail, takingquestions at town halls andspeaking directly to thecamera from his bus seat,saying he’s not a “careerpolitician” like Layton orStephen Harper.
Stephen Harper spentthe day in British Columbia
with a pair of campaignevents in Victoria and Van-couver. The prime ministerreannounced a children’sarts tax credit at a suburbanhome on a Victoria cul-de-sac. Harper and his wife,Laureen, helped paint anddecorate eggs with about adozen youngsters. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Service stifled in BeijingConstitution
While China’s constitutionguarantees freedom of religion, Christians are required to worship inchurches run by state-controlled organizations.
However, more than 60 million Christians arebelieved to worship in unregistered “house”churches, compared toabout 20 million in thestate churches, activists say.
Chinese police detained atleast 30 Christians belong-ing to an unregistered Bei-jing church as thecongregation gathered foran Easter service yesterday,a church member said.
Police stopped the wor-shippers from the unregis-tered Shouwang church asthey gathered near a publicplaza in the university dis-trict, then bused them to alocal police station. The As-sociated Press saw about adozen people being takenaway, but a church mem-
ber said at least 30 were de-tained.
Shouwang membershave been trying to meet atthe plaza in Beijing’s Haidi-an district every Sundaysince the congregation wasevicted from its rentedplace of worship threeweeks ago, but they havebeen detained or put underhouse arrest each time.
Lu Jia, a Shouwangmember who was underhouse arrest overnight un-til yesterday afternoon,said by telephone that he
and his wife held a half-hour service at home usinga sermon their pastor up-loaded to the Internet.
“Beforehand, I went outand told the men guardingmy door that I didn’t wantto argue with them but Ihad to tell them that whatthey were doing was ille-gal, that it violated myright to believe, to practisemy faith,” Lu said. “Thenwe had a short service,reading the sermon togeth-er and selections from theBible.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

about 450 kilometres from Hyderabad, India.
Thai and Cambodiantroops exchanged artilleryfire yesterday in a third dayof fighting that has killed10 soldiers and uprootedthousands of villagers.
Officials from both sidessaid the clashes over dis-puted territory lastedabout two hours yesterdaymorning. Cambodian mili-tary officials said the shoot-ing resumed in theafternoon for severalhours.
UN chief Ban Ki-mooncalled for a ceasefire, butthe prospects for peace ap-
peared shaky, with the twosides disagreeing on what
triggered the fighting anddiffering on how to negoti-ate the territorial dispute.
Thailand reported nonew casualties, after fourof its soldiers were killedand 17 wounded over theprevious two days. Wit-nesses saw one Cambodiansoldier and a Cambodiantelevision journalistwounded yesterday. Col-leagues said the journalistsuffered a head wound butdid not appear seriouslyhurt.

Bahrain’s crown prince de-clined an invitation yester-day to attend PrinceWilliam and Kate Middle-ton’s wedding, saying hedid not want the Gulf na-tion’s unrest to tarnish thecelebration.
Prince Salman binHamad Al Khalifa sent hisregrets to Prince Charlesafter questions emergedover the British monar-chy’s decision to invite amember of Bahrain’s Sun-ni ruling family, which haswaged a wide-ranging
crackdown against Shiiteprotesters calling for morefreedoms.
Bahrain’s rulers haveimposed martial law andare backed by a Saudi-ledmilitary force to try toquell the uprising. At least30 people have died inBahrain since mid-Febru-ary, including four whodied while in official cus-tody, and many well-known activists andlawyers have been impris-oned.
The news helped to
avoid a potentially awk-ward situation during Fri-day’s wedding.Campaigners in Britaincomplained when palaceofficials said Saturday thatthe prince was attendingthe nuptials, and some pe-titioned Foreign SecretaryWilliam Hague to revokethe invitation.
Prince Salman said hewas “saddened and trou-bled” by British reportsabout his attendance.
“While these (media re-ports) have certainly high-
lighted a number of signifi-cant issues currently fac-ing the kingdom ofBahrain, they have funda-mentally misrepresentedmy own views, outlookand position on recentevents and thus, clearlysought to involve my po-tential attendance as a po-litical proxy for widermatters involvingBahrain.”

Insurance for tweets?
BP too slowon uptake:ScientistsScientists say it is taking fartoo long to dole out mil-lions of dollars in BP fundsfor badly needed Gulf oilspill research, and it couldbe too late to assess thecrude’s impact on pelicans,shrimp and other speciesby the time studies begin.
No money has beenmade available for this year,and it could take months todetermine which projectswill be funded. “It’s like amurder scene,” said DanaWetzel, an ecotoxicologistat the Mote Marine Labora-tory in Florida. “You have topick up the evidence now.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
As an increasing numberof tweets and Facebookpostings speed onto the in-formation superhighway,some will inevitably crashand burn.
But unlike driverscaught in a car wreck,users behind carelesstweets or nasty Facebookpostings haven’t tradition-ally had any kind of insur-ance to bail them out.
They soon might. Mal-colm Randles, who issuescyber insurance policiesfor Kiln, a subsidiary ofLloyd’s of London, saidbrokers in Canada arekeeping a keen eye on so-cial media trends and are
beginning to develop cov-erage for the conse-quences of unruly posts.
As employers increas-ingly use sites such asFacebook and Twitter tomarket products, commu-nicate with customers andcollect information, theyleave themselves open toregulatory, legal and repu-tational risks. And wherethere’s risk, there’s the in-surance sector.
With the use of socialmedia in the corporateworld comes the potentialfor lawsuits regarding pri-vacy issues, intellectualproperty infringement anddefamation.
The liability risk stemsfrom the fact that manycompanies don’t appear tobe establishing clear, writ-ten policies for social net-working, said Eric Dolden,a Vancouver-based insur-
ance lawyer with DoldenWallace Folick LLP.
Dolden said for now, thedemand for social mediainsurance coverage ismostly for corporations.
Dolden said large com-panies could pay about$100,000 for a $10-millionpolicy that protects againstdata loss and liability,though small companieswould pay much less.
Dolden said it’s only amatter of time beforefirms offer personal insur-ance lines for those usingsocial media, much likeautomobile insurance fordrivers.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Some of the new Chinesecars unveiled at last week’sShanghai Auto Show are af-fordable for millions of buy-ers — a happy developmentfor Beijing that might provecostly for the global au-tomakers producing them.
General Motors Co. un-veiled the 630 sedan, thefirst model from its newBaojun badge developedwith Chinese joint venturepartners. The four-door isbased on an older GM carand will have a sticker priceof 70,000 to 100,000 yuan($10,200 US to $14,600 US).
Honda Motor Co. dis-played the plain, compactfour-door S1 at the autoshow, the first from its newEverus line, which went onsale this week. Nissan Mo-tor Co. showed off an un-named car it plans to sellunder the Venucia brandnext year.
These so-called “indige-nous” brands will only besold in China and theirprices are aimed at a seg-
ment of the market that isalready crowded with carsfrom lesser known Chinesebrands. They will also be incompetition with the for-eign automakers’ existing
entry-level models.Car makers say they are
introducing the name-plates with their Chinesejoint venture partners sothey can tap growth fromChina’s expanding middleclass.
But industry watcherssay it’s a new tactic by Chi-na’s government, which isunhappy with the failure ofstate-owned automakers togain significant marketshare for Chinese brandssince partnering with for-eigners.
Manufacturing Chinesemodels is the “new cost ofmarket access” for globalautomakers, said MikeDunne, whose consultancy,Dunne & Co., specializes inAsia’s auto markets.
“Beijing’s not happy,” soauthorities drew up a newset of rules that would re-quire automakers to sharetheir technology if theywant to expand in China,said Dunne.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Then and now
When global automakersfirst entered China a quar-ter century ago, they wererequired to operate in jointventures that were aimedat helping local partnerslearn and grow. Foreign automakers wereallowed to keep hold oftheir technology and otherintellectual property inthose original agreements. Both parties were happy to split fat profits, but theresults have disappointed China’s communist leadersbecause internationalbrands such as Honda,Buick and Volkswagen nowdominate with 70 per centof the market.

SOLESEARCHINGFOR VINTAGETREASURES
Metro invited Federationof Canadian Municipali-ties CEO Brock Carltonand columnist Ivor Tossell to discuss urbanissues and what’s miss-ing from the federal election campaign. Thefollowing are excerptsfrom the online chat.
METRO: Why should a federal campaignaddress urban issues?
BROCK: The federalgovernment has a largerole to play in our citiesand communities. Theirpolicies and programshave a direct impact oncities and towns. Thefeds cannot deliver toCanadians withoutworking with cities. Ourcountry is too big andcomplex to work in silos.And we need nationalleadership from the fedson key issues that affectour economy, theenvironment and socialissues.
IVOR: Well, you couldask, what does the feder-al government have todo with health care,which is also aprovincial matter? Thefact is that cities are acentral part of Canadianlife, just like health care.A national vision forwhat it means to live ina Canadian city is impor-tant — it’s quality of life.COMMENT AT METRONEWS.CAOR [email protected].

Mystery personhops to it to helpwoman and petAn anonymous donor has purchased a$50,000 insurance policy to help anOklahoma woman keep her pet kanga-roo as a therapy pet.
The Broken Arrow city council isconsidering an exotic animal ordinanceexemption that would allow ChristieCarr to keep Irwin, the partially para-lyzed red kangaroo, within city limits.
Council could vote May 3 on aproposal that would allow exotic
animal owners to keep their pets ifthey obtain a newly created permit.The permit would require them tohave a liability insurance policy for anyinjuries inflicted by the animal, certifi-cation showing the animal hasadequate housing for its health, andmeet all U.S. federal and stateguidelines for licensing, among otherprovisions.
Carr said she couldn’t have affordedto purchase such a policy and evencontemplated moving out of BrokenArrow to continue caring for theanimal. Coun. Richard Carter said theordinance exemption is designed to al-low Christie to keep Irwin within citylimits while safeguarding residentsfrom potential harm the animal mightcause. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You might call Erin Andersona shoe hunter of sorts. Shehas chased the finest second-hand leather goods aroundthe world and back again,making stops in London and
Dubai, while frequenting warehousesacross the eastern United States.
She cut her teeth with a U.K.-based vin-tage giant, but now she’s on her own, thesole proprietor of Stacked Vintage, a smallshop in Bloorcourt Village that retails —and wholesales — all types of quality
leather. “It’s a random, weird and elusive business,” she says.
“I have to sort through piles and piles of leather at thesewarehouses where second-hand goods are processed. Iusually spend two or three days at each location and I’llprobably filter through roughly 10,000 pounds of shoes.If I’m lucky, I’ll pull 200 or 300 pounds out of that.”
Anderson is nothing if not picky when it comes to herproduct. Her shoes, she says, always have something spe-
cial about them. She doesn’tlike to share the tricks ofher trade — in the shoe-hunting business, secretsare closely guarded — butshe will tell me this: A trulyunique piece of leather isinvariably a prized find.
“I look for things I’venever seen before,” she ex-plains. “I want the productto have a particular qualitythat’s particularly lovely. La-bels are also important andso, too, is craftsmanship. Ifthey’re made in Italy orSpain, even better. These
are all things I keep an eye out for.”Her all-time favourite score? Handcrafted, turn-of-the-century Victorian lace-up
boots. “They’re just so incredible, I’ve actually kept them as a
kind of artifact,” Anderson gushes. “I was blown away byhow they were made and how tiny they were. I couldn’timagine anybody I know fitting into that pair of shoes.They were so narrow, probably only two to three incheswide.”
She found them, like so many others, on one of herrummaging runs, digging through another obese pile ofdiscarded leather in an undisclosed spot somewheresouth of the border. Though her eye found them first, itwas her hands that told her their quality.
“I like the tactile sensation of things,” she says. “Ithelps me pick things out because I can stick my hands inthe pile and feel out the leather. This pair was sostructured compared to most regular boots. It wasn’t softat all. Then, once I pulled them out and looked closely atthem, I could see that every stitch was done by hand. Itwas really quite amazing.”

Do they sound too good to be true? That’s because they are only telling you HALF OF THE STORY! The procedure you are being sold is called a consumer proposal and may ONLY be administered by a licenced trustee in bankruptcy. After you pay these “consultants” a fee – hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars – they refer you to a trustee to actually do the work (their ads don’t tell you that).
Before you sign any forms, before you pay any fees, “google” consumer proposals and see for yourself…
In order for a consumer proposal to be accepted you need to offer your creditors:
1) More money than they would get if you filed for bankrutpcy; and 2) Enough money to make it “worth your creditors time” – currently that is around 1/3 of
what you owe
There’s no mystery, there’s no clever deals or negotiation going on. These guys never actually speak to your creditors. So why are you paying them a fee?
The choice is yours – if after you speak to a trustee, you still think there’s a reason to use one of these “consulting” firms then go ahead – to date, we’ve never heard of anyone going back once they hear the whole story…
Still not convinced? Their first meeting is free – before you go back a second time and start paying their fees give us a call. We’ll walk you through all of your options and then you can decide what’s best for you and your family.
One more thing – there are NO upfront fees to file a consumer proposal – if someone wants you to pay a fee BEFORE they file your paperwork then you aren’t dealing with the right people!

Kitsch Kitsch,Bang Bang
Taking on the role of pho-tojournalist Kevin Carterin The Bang Bang Club washardly a vacation for Tay-lor Kitsch.
“I didn’t sleep. It was azoo to shoot,” he says ofthe film, which tells thetrue story of a group ofphotographers coveringthe violent last days ofapartheid in South Africa.“It wasn’t a fun shoot forme at all. I had a lot of kid-ney problems playing Kev,through the diet and los-ing 30-something pounds.”
Known to audiences forhis work on Friday NightLights, and starring along-side Hugh Jackman inWolverine, Kitsch threwhimself into playingCarter, starting beforeheading to Johannesburgfor filming.
“I had two months toprep on my own in Austin,so that entailed shadowinga photographer, getting aLeica, which is about a 60-year-old film camera thatKev used, developing my-self with that, shootingabout five to 10 rolls a dayand then losing the 30-something pounds justrunning every day inAustin,” he explains.
“There’s so much pressureI personally put on myselfto do this guy justice, so Iprepped and prepped somuch. It brings your gameup more. I would’ve doneanything to get where Ineeded to be, to feel Icould let the scene go. Iwas a wreck. It’s an incred-ible amount of energy.”
But any amount of effortwas more than worth it,Kitsch insists, given howbadly he wanted to do thefilm. “Even reading thescript and fighting for therole, it was a matter of,like, I know I can play thisguy truthfully,” he says.“There’s something that Iknow I could hit with him.”
But while he worked re-lentlessly on getting intocharacter, Kitsch wasn’tnecessarily prepared forhow difficult it would beto get out of character, giv-en the intense scenesCarter lived through.(Carter won a PulitzerPrize for a photo of ayoung Sudanese girl rest-ing being stalked by a vul-ture.)
“Some counseling wasneeded, and just separat-ing yourself and being in-credibly conscious of itand being OK that it’s tak-ing time to let go was a bigthing for me.
“Playing other charac-ters, I can let go and I canlaugh a lot. It’s not asheavy, obviously. But youtake it home with you.”
Luckily he won’t be tak-ing as much home withhim again soon, as hisnext projects are more onthe fun side. Of course,even his upcoming Battle-ship — based on the boardgame — isn’t without itsgravitas.
“Just because it’s thisbig film doesn’t mean wecan’t have a very, very in-tense moment here orthere, or have loss,” hesays.
Speaking of aliens,Kitsch will be keepingwith the action genre asthe title character in JohnCarter of Mars.
“I was looking at a 100-foot green screen and therewas an X on it at the 75-footmark, and that was sup-posed to be a ship that I’mblowing up,” he says. “Insituations like that, es-capism is a lot harder as anactor, and tests you in dif-ferent ways.
“With Bang Bang, I hada f---ing child and a vulture.If you can’t put yourself ina present moment there,then you’ve got to go backto New York and study a bitmore.”
Friday Night Lights star gets so into character forrole as South African war photographer in The BangBang Club, he needed counseling to get back out

WORRY ONE: Dances are ba-sically foreplay for teensex. I’ve discussed respon-sibility with my kid, but Iam worried the advice willbe forgotten after a nightof dancing and too manyepisodes of Gossip Girl.SAYS THE DOCTOR: The val-ues and advice you haveshared with your teenagerhopefully have “sunk in”by the time prom rollsaround. It is up to yourchild to be smart when itcomes to sex. Worry aboutthings you can orchestrate.How your child will be in-fluenced or act is prettymuch out of your control.Send your child off to havefun, but with a quiet re-minder to be careful.
WORRY TWO: Someoneelse’s kids are going to getdrunk and drive. How do Iwarn my kid withoutsounding like a publicservice announcement?SAYS THE DOCTOR: You ab-solutely want to sound likea public service announce-ment! In the weeks leadingup to the dance, remindyour child of teen drunkdriving tragedies. You cansoften your parental standby reminding your childthat he or she is the mostimportant thing in yourlife and it’s your job tokeep him or her safe.Sounds soppy, but it’s true.

WORRY THREE: My child isan introvert and will prob-ably spend the entireevening against the wall.Breaks my heart. Whatshould I do?SAYS THE DOCTOR: Youmight suggest that yourchild arrange to attend thedance with a group offriends or one friend.There’s comfort in num-bers.
Beyond that, there’s nota lot a parent can do ... and
trying to hard makes thesituation worse. If you tryto discuss it, your childwill tell you don’t under-stand — and you probablydon’t.
It hurts parents to see achild suffer, but as parentswe have to accept the factthat we can’t protect ourchildren from every insultand affront.
WORRY FOUR: There’s an af-ter-prom party at some oth-

The teen brain is not ful-ly mature, particularly thepart that thinks ahead,weighs consequences, andmanages emotional im-
pulses. Parties withoutchaperones tend to get outof hand easily and quickly;uninvited guests appear, al-cohol and drugs get con-sumed, noise levels riseand judgment fails. Neigh-bours call the police andyour child winds up in themiddle of a situation he orshe never intended.
Boundaries, parents,that’s your job. Say no oroffer to hold the party atyour home.

CHOICES FOR
GREEN MOMSAre cloth diapers the most eco-friendlychoice, or are there disposable options thatmake the cut? Andrea of London, Ont.
Disposablediapers arelandfillmagnets —in somecities dia-pers and
other disposables (razors,plastic wrap, paper coffeecups) are estimated tomake up about eight percent of total householdwaste. Disposable diapersare also made from plas-tic, with chlorine-bleached stuffing andadded fragrance chemi-
cals. The good news is thatcloth diapers aren’t whatthey were 30 years ago.
Today they’re stylish,eco-friendly (some areeven manufactured withwind power), 100 per centorganic cotton, and youcan find brands made inCanada — definitely aworthy choice. There’s noneed to buy new cloth dia-pers either. Source themfrom thrift or secondhandstores — they’re wash-able, after all. Surf onlinefor “green” mommy web-sites too. They host aplethora of tips, adviceand product reviews.

With each Earth Day thatpasses, our world becomesmore ecologically aware.New, emerging technolo-gies are greener, and vastprofits are out there for in-novators with the rightproduct, in the right place,at the right time.
Canadian companiesare beginning to do verywell in the clean-tech field— but not without someconsiderable risk.
“You have to approachthe market in a very strate-gic manner,” says GaelMourant, president andCEO of ARXX, a leadingsupplier of Insulating Con-crete Forms (ICFs) for ener-gy-efficient construction.“The construction industryis very averse to change.
You have to make peoplecomfortable with the ideathey can do things differ-ently, but at the sametime, actually get a betterproduct at a more cost-ef-fective price.”
ARXX is based in
Cobourg, Ont. Mourantsays proximity to the Unit-ed States is a significantadvantage for Canadianclean-tech firms.
“Americans are very re-ceptive to working withCanadian companies, be-cause they see Canadians
as being honest and forth-right, and as innovators,”she notes. “Primarily,Canadians are very adapt-able. I think we’re veryopen to new ideas. Theidea of green buildings andenergy savings is very root-ed in Canada.”
Scott MacDonald is apartner at Emerald Tech-nology Ventures, an invest-ment firm specializing inclean-tech start-ups. Hesees deteriorating globalinfrastructure as a hugeopportunity for Canadianfirms.
“There are 70 to 100-year-old assets — aroundthe world — where theydon’t have technology andinnovation right now,” hesays. “We’re trying tomake the grid smarter.We’re trying to identifywhere leaks in water sys-tems are.”

Jason’s tips
Tools to a successful busi-
ness design
Believe in yourself andyour talents.
Don’t make the same mis-
takes twice.
Hang out with other suc-cessful people and learn.
Find a mentor and ask lotsof questions.
Don’t think that you knowit all. Be humble.
Life after the lay-offA job loss effects morethan just one person.
Lisa Caldas Kappesser,author of The Smart NewWay to Get Hired, sharesher advice on how to geteveryone through it.
Communication
Discuss with your familywhat your job search strat-egy is and what steps youhave taken or plan to takein the near future.
Communication is criti-cal in families, particularlyin times of stress and crisiswhen many people tend towithdraw.
Empathy
Everyone needs supportand understanding. If youhave children, listen totheir concerns and keep inmind that most childrenare egocentric.
Optimism
Be a role model for yourfamily in how to deal with
crisis and change. Yourchildren will be in a jobsearch someday and willremember how you han-dled it.
They learn from yourbehavior, so it’s best tomodel positive behavior.
Self-confidence
If you have confidence inyourself, your family andsignificant other will havemore confidence that youcan and will find anotherjob.You need to think andact in terms of when youfind your next job and notif you will find anotherjob.
Conflict management
Accept that there will bedisagreements and work toresolve them. It takes lessenergy to deal with a con-flict when it first arisesthan it does after monthsof letting it build up.
Dealing with disagree-ments openly can helpeveryone move in a posi-tive direction. Know thatyou might not agree at theend of your discussion.

For me, a student from asmall Nova Scotia universi-ty, the hardest part of find-ing a summer job is gettingtop employers based inlarge cities to take a secondlook at my application.
During a recent familyvacation, I met a group offive students from the Uni-versity of Guelph.
When they asked whereI attended school, I replied,“Acadia University.” To mysurprise, not a single one ofthem had heard of theschool.
After that encounter, Icouldn’t help but wonder ifemployers were thinkingthe exact same thing: Uh,Acadia? Who?
If this is true, at least insome organizations, how isthis affecting my applica-
tion during the selectionprocess?
From an employer’s per-spective, it is certainly justi-fiable to hire the candidatefrom the school known forits strong academic stand-ing or the school that youcan identify with (“Our or-ganization is based inToronto so it makes senseto hire from the University
of Toronto”). After all, theaim is to hire the brightestand most qualified.
However, from the NovaScotia student perspective,this makes standing out ina sea of applications thatmuch more difficult.
When I’m applying for ajob in Toronto from my res-idence room at Acadia inWolfville, N.S., population
3,800 (7,000 during theschool year), I can’t helpbut feel like there’s a giantwall between myself andthe employer.
And, if they’re thinkingthe same thing — who isKate MacKenzie, what isAcadia, and where the heckis Wolfville — then it seemslikely that my applicationmay come second to, “Ahyes, Jane Doe from Queen’s.I went to Queen’s too!”
I know that this isn’t al-ways the case and thatmany organizations make asincere effort to fairly evalu-ate all candidates. However,I think that some compa-nies could improve their re-cruitment processes byrecognizing the gap be-tween small-town studentsand big-city jobs and adjust-ing their application ac-cordingly.
Small changes, such asassigning recruiters to re-gions across Canada and us-ing technology such asSkype to do interviews, can
make a huge difference.These adjustments makethe recruitment processless location-specific andless intimidating. They alsoallow the employer to real-ly get to know the candi-dates face-to-face to ensurethat they’re hiring the bestof the best.
Also, by including stu-dents from many differentschools and locations, or-ganizations will only bene-fit from the increaseddiversity and perspective.
Where Kate is now
Ironically enough, I pro-posed this exact idea to anorganization based inToronto and explained theunique perspective that Icould bring to the companyas a result of my East Coastexperiences. Now, Icouldn’t be more excited tobe working for that compa-ny this summer!
Key take-aways from Kate’s
school-to-work transition
• If you attend school in adifferent city than wherethe organization you wantto work for is located,briefly explain the discrep-ancy in the email or coverletter and outline yourplans for relocation.
• Don’t be afraid to ask foran interview over thephone or through a videochat program like Skype —in-person interviews aren’tthe only option.
• Worried your school isn’tas recognized as some ofthe more high profile insti-tutions? Focus primarily onyour accomplishments inyour resumé and cover let-ter, but be prepared to dis-cuss the quality of youreducation in the interview.

It came down to one pitchin the first inning.
Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Ricky Romero want-ed the 0-2 pitch to BenZobrist to be up and in. Hemissed his location — toomuch middle. Zobristdidn’t miss, hitting it overthe left-field wall.
The two-run homer gavethe Tampa Bay Raysthe only runs that
right-hander JamesShields needed. Hepitched a four-hitshutout and struck
out seven as the Raysbeat the Blue Jays 2-0 to
take the rubber match of athree-games series yester-day.
The Blue Jays finishedthe home stand at 2-3 andhave lost seven of their past11 games.
“It was supposed to befor a ball and I missed thelocation,” said Romero (1-3),who struck out 10 in seveninnings. “Zobrist hit it. It’sfrustrating losing ballgames that we’re in. I dideverything possible to keepus in the game.”
“Other than one pitch,he was lights out,” catcherJ.P. Arencibia said ofRomero. “We were trying togo up and in and it stayedover the plate.”
Romero still earned
praise from Rays managerJoe Maddon, who said theteam was lucky to get twooff the Jays starter.
“A classic example ofhaving to get a good pitcherearly,” said Maddon. “Oncehe found himself and hesettled in, he started mak-ing much better pitcheswith everything.”
But Shields (2-1) was justthat much better.
He allowed two walks,both to Jose Bautista includ-ing one to lead off the bot-tom of the ninth. But hepicked off Bautista for thesecond out of the inning.
Bautista lined out infourth inning to end astring of reaching base in11 consecutive plate ap-pearances.
“I finally stopped(Bautista),” Shields said.“He’s locked in right nowand he was all series.”
After walking Bautista inthe first, Shields didn’t al-low another base runneruntil a Juan Rivera single inthe fifth. THE CANADIAN PRESS

First ofmanystrikesMark Hominick’shighest-profile public ap-pearance came Fridaywhen he threw out thefirst pitch as the TorontoBlue Jays hosted the Tam-pa Bay Rays.
“Oh, it was prettycool,” he said. “It’s such
an iconic piece forOntario, the Rogers Cen-tre.”
Hominick sat at fieldlevel with UFCwelterweight Sean Pier-son and was interviewedon live TV.
And he got to meetseveral players,including Jays rookie J.P.Arencibia.
“He was a real niceguy — a big MMA fan,”said Hominick. JIM REYNO
It’s done: Most of the hard-core training, public ap-pearances, mediainterviews and strategizingthat comes with a title shotat the biggest UFC event inhistory.
Now, Mark (The Ma-chine) Hominick countsthe days till Saturday.
“All the work’s done,”he said. “It’s almost like awaiting game now.”
Hominick, from Thame-ford, Ont., had his lastsparring session Saturday,and will take it relativelyeasy this week as he awaitshis featherweight title shotagainst Jose Aldo.
“Now it’s mainly justmaintenance, getting theweight on point, youknow, just keeping yourtiming,” said Hominick,who has won five straightbouts. “You don’t com-pletely stop working out,but the workouts are short,intense — but no contact.”
Although he has tried tofollow his usual pre-fight
program, Hominick sayspreparing for UFC 129 atRogers Centre has beenanything but routine.
“This year was a littledifferent, being co-mainevent in the biggest UFC ofall time, there’s been a lotof demands,” he said. “Ithink the main thing isjust staying relaxed and fo-cused on Saturday night.”
Adding to the demandshas been Hominick’s situa-tion at home: Wife Ashleyis expecting their firstchild shortly after UFC 129.
“She’s doing very well,”he said. “She’s still plan-ning to come to Toronto,but each day might be dif-ferent.”

Habs coachcalm aheadof Game 6If coach Jacques Martinwas feeling any heat at hisMontreal Canadiens beingone loss away from playoffelimination, he wasn’tshowing it.
The head coach held ameeting with his playersyesterday, watched videoof Montreal’s 2-1 double-overtime loss to the BostonBruins from the night be-fore and then was the pic-ture of calm as he metwith the media.
“I work hard at what Ido and I do my best anddon’t worry about thosethings,” Martin said ofplayoff pressure. “You en-joy these challenges.”
Martin’s message forthe day was to stay calmand confident even thoughthe loss Saturday night putthe Bruins up 3-2 in theirbest-of-seven Eastern Con-ference quarter-final.
Game 6 is set for tomor-row night in Montreal.
What Martin sees thusfar is a series that is tooclose to call just yet.
The teams have eachscored 12 goals throughthe first five games. Bostonhas outshot Montreal 177-165.
“That’s how close it is,”Martin said.

Brian Boucher got a secondchance, Chris Pronger pro-vided an inspirationalboost, and thanks to VilleLeino, the Philadelphia Fly-ers made this comebackstick against the BuffaloSabres.
On the brink of elimina-tion, and with the Flyers en-during the latest in a stringof goalie shuffles, Boucherstopped 24 shots in yet an-other relief effort and Leinocapped Philadelphia’s two-goal comeback by scoring
4:43 into overtime in a 5-4win yesterday to forceGame 7 in the first-roundplayoff series.
The deciding game is atPhiladelphia tomorrow toclose what’s been a tightly
contested and topsy-turvyseries, in which five of thesix games have been wonby one goal.
“I’ve been through somepretty wild and crazygames through my career,”said Danny Briere, the for-mer Sabres co-captain whoscored twice against his for-mer team. “And today wasone of them, the roller-coaster ride that it was. Myheart definitely skipped afew beats today.”
He wasn’t the only one.
Michael Leighton be-came the third Flyers goalieto start a game this series,before proceeding to be-come the third Flyers goalieto be yanked after allowingthree goals on the first sev-en shots he faced.
Enter Boucher, whomade up for his dreadfulperformance in a 4-3 over-time loss on Friday, inwhich he allowed threegoals on 11 shots.
And unlike what hap-pened in Game 5, in which
the Flyers rallied from a 3-0deficit before faltering,Leino sealed this victoryduring a scramble in front.
Kris Versteeg helped setit up. After getting his firstshot blocked, Versteeggained the rebound andflipped the puck at theSabres net, bouncing it offseveral players. The puckfell in the crease whereLeino slid it into the openside behind diving goalieRyan Miller.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Surprise starting goal-tender Cory Schneider leftlast night’s Game 6 of theVancouver Canucks’ se-ries against the ChicagoBlackhawks with an ap-parent injury, and Rober-to Luongo returned togive up the winning goalin overtime.
Ben Smith scored at the15:30 mark of the extraperiod to give Chicago a 4-3 win and force Game 7 ina series the Canucks hadled 3-0.
Schneider appeared tohurt himself duringMichael Frolik’s success-ful penalty shot at 2:31 ofthe third period.
He went down in an at-tempt to block Frolik’sshot and stayed on the iceafter the goal writhing inpain.
Frolik’s goal tied thegame at 3-3.
Luongo, who startedthe first five games of theseries, came on in relief.
Vancouver coach AlainVigneault said after Chica-go’s 5-0 victory in Game 5— when Luongo waspulled for a secondstraight game — that Lu-ongo would remain thestarter.
