Every day at lunch, people with mental illness are turned away from the Kettle Friend-ship Society’s drop-in centre on Commercial Drive because there aren’t enough seats.

The Kettle is desperate for more space, but its plan to partner with developer Boffo to erect a mixed-use building on the Venables Street site has been “caught up in the cross-fire” of a rezoning freeze dur-ing the Grandview-Woodland community-planning process, executive director Nancy Ke-ough said Thursday.

The society wants the city to make an exception and look at its application before the neighbourhood plan is complete, especially since city council is considering extending the planning time-frame in response to com-munity backlash to proposed tower heights at Commercial and Broadway.

“We can’t afford to wait another year or two just to apply,” Keough said, adding the proposal includes “des-

perately needed” social hous-ing.

More than 100 people have signed a petition supporting Kettle’s early application and the majority of the commun-ity approved the expansion at several meetings, Keough said. The Kettle has called the Drive its home since 1976 and helps 3,500 people annually.

But the city will not con-sider making an exception for Kettle based on its current proposal, city planner Matt Shillito said Thursday.

While the community supports Kettle and its ser-vices (the expansion would increase its space to 12,000 square feet from 7,500), the building’s proposed 15-storey height has caused “significant concerns,” Shillito said.

To qualify for an exception, a project must have a majority of social or supported housing or “substantially advance” the city’s objectives, he said.

With its proposed 30 so-cial-housing units and about 150 market units, this build-ing doesn’t meet the criteria. Plus, the city wants to plan for the neighbourhood as a whole instead of one-off pro-jects, Shillito said.

“As important as the Kettle is, we have to be consistent.”

City council is expected to decide whether to extend the community plan, and hear Kettle’s arguments for fast tracking, on Sept. 25.

The OneCard, a symbol of the dispute between the park board and six rogue centres. CONTRIBUTED

Park board swears it’s not about the moneyThe park board is once again saying money isn’t the driving force behind the plan to cen-tralize community-centre oper-ations after reports suggested that anticipation of an audit prompted the entire overhaul.

According to minutes from a November 2012 meeting between community-centre association presidents, the as-

sociations were under the im-pression the park board wanted to control finances throughout the system before an expected audit on government spending.

The minutes indicate the park board wanted to do this by quickly negotiating a new joint-operating agreement.

But the park board was not expecting an audit, according

to a statement sent Thursday in response. It had, however, informed associations that the provincial auditor general had just been appointed to review practices in municipalities.

The park board maintains its motivation for a new oper-ating agreement lies in access for all citizens, equity among centres and operational sus-

tainability and accountability, according to the statement at-tributed to general manager Malcolm Bromley.

Yet allegations of a “cash grab” have been rampant throughout the negotiation process, which is dragging on for all but six centres that chose instead to sue the park board. EMILY JACKSON/METRO

Vancouver police Staff Sgt. Howard Chow swerved across several lanes of traffic Thurs-day morning, ran over a skateboarder, smashed into a dump truck, then jumped the curb and crashed into his own house as onlookers laughed at his dismal performance in the distracted-driving simulator.

It was a moment of levity in a press conference with a solemn message: Police and ICBC are losing their three-year battle against distracted drivers in British Columbia.

Laws punishing the use of cellphones behind the wheel have been in place since 2010, but deaths caused by distract-ed drivers continue to mount even as the number of viola-tion tickets — each worth

$167 and three penalty points — issued has doubled to 4,000 per month.

“We hope for increased sanctions. We want to get tougher,” said Victoria police chief Jamie Graham, chair of the traffic-safety commit-tee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, as he kicked off a month-long campaign.

“Drivers continue to flaunt the law and engage in this kind of behaviour,” he said. “We have told our officers ... you can write as many tickets as you want.”

Graham said tougher ticketing blitzes would be one part of a three-pronged approach this September that will also include educa-tion and discussions with the B.C. government to fortify existing legislation with car seizures and jail time for of-fenders.

John Dickinson, director of road safety at ICBC, said the company’s data suggests drivers are 23 times more likely to crash while texting and that the practice kills roughly 93 people in the prov-ince every year.

The debate continued to rage on Thursday about whether the federal government should spend millions of public dol-lars on measures Green Party leaders charge are “greasing the wheels” for Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.

Leaked documents show the feds plan to spend $6.8 mil-lion over the next three years — not the $78 million initially reported on Wednesday — on developing the first ever com-puter models to predict how

diluted bitumen would behave if spilled in the ocean.

Adam Holbrook, associ-ate director of the Centre for Policy Research on Science and Technology at SFU, said the Greens are right to say public

funds are being allocated for private purposes, but that’s nothing new.

“Yes, it’s true, but also, gov-ernment does this all the time, and not just for the natural re-sources industries,” he said.

“It does it for manufactur-ing, it does it for services in-dustries. There are a number of different programs, but it’s grease.”

He argued it is in the pub-lic interest for Environment

Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resour-ces Canada to carry out the research, because if Enbridge did it the company would own it and no one else would have access to it.

Debate continues. Prof says government funding research that benefits companies is nothing new

Should the feds fund research on how bitumen behaves at sea?

Enbridge is still in the process of cleaning up bitumen that spilled in the Kalamazoo River, pictured here in 2010, but little scientific research has been doneabout how extra heavy crude behaves in saltwater. Bill Pugliano/getty images

A timeline of greased wheels

The federal government has a long history of spending public money to benefit the private sector.

• The National Research Council (NRC) and Industry Canada have been funding aerospace research since the Second World War that primarily benefits one Canadian company, Bombardier.

• The NRC and Agriculture Canada fund a research station at the University of Saskatchewan that studies plant genetics — research heavily relied on by Mon-santo.

• TheNRChasfundedoil-sands extraction research for decades.

PNE Prize Home winner announcedLightning and thunder couldn’t stop 49-year-old Dean Cockerill of Gibsons from winning the 2013 PNE prize home on Thursday afternoon.

The stormy weather pushed the lottery’s draw back by a few minutes, but ultimately Cockerill’s name was called on live television.

This year’s grand prize is a 3,000-square-foot home in the B.C. Interior ski resort of Sun Peaks.

Celebrity designer and reality TV star Jillian Harris designed the home, which is valued at $1.2 million. metro

1 dead, 4 injured in 3-vehicle crashA 78-year-old woman was killed and four others were in-jured in a three-vehicle crash in Richmond on Wednesday afternoon.

A Dodge Caravan was travelling east on Blundell Road at No. 5 Road when it collided with a Toyota Corolla. Those two vehicles then crashed into a Mercedes, the lone driver of which escaped without injury. The 52-year-old Corolla driver is in critical but stable condition, but her elderly back-seat passenger did not survive. Three others were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

architects wanted to envision new gallery

The current Vancouver Art Gallery has outgrown its purpose. Emily Jackson/mEtro FilE

The Vancouver Art Gallery is officially looking for architects to help transform a downtown parking lot into the cultural in-stitution’s new home.

The gallery launched an open request for qualifications on Thursday to choose the de-signers of the new centre to be built on a 1.8-acre site at Cambie and Georgia streets.

Vancouver city council in April authorized staff to negoti-ate a memorandum of under-standing with the gallery asso-ciation for a 99-year lease on a city-owned plot of land, after years of complaints from the

gallery that its existing building at Robson Square is so small and crowded the majority of its permanent collection had to go on tour or be hidden away in storage.

The new building is planned to be 300,000 square feet, twice the size of the cur-rent one, and would include an auditorium and dedicated classroom and studio space, gallery director Kathleen Bar-tels said on Thursday.

Interested architects must contact the gallery by Oct. 4.

According to April’s City of Vancouver staff report, the gal-lery needs to raise $150 million from the federal and provincial governments by 2015 as a con-dition of the lease.

Bartels declined to com-ment on the fundraising efforts to date, but said she expects pri-vate donors to step up once the winning design architects are announced in the first quarter of 2014. LuKe brocKi/For metro

Aggressive mother

No choice but to destroy bear family: OfficersConservation officers had no other choice but to destroy a mother bear and her cubs in B.C.’s Okanagan, said the of-ficer in charge of the district.

Officers were called Tues-day afternoon to investigate

a complaint that the bears were harassing a person’s livestock, said Barb Leslie, inspector in charge of the Okanagan for the Conserva-tion Officer Service.

When they arrived to the area in the District of Coldstream they found the animals treed, but when the trio came down, the mother began acting aggressively, said conservation officer Sgt. Josh Lockwod.

“The sow bear came right back and approached the officer. At that time she was dispatched.”

Leslie said tranquilizing the cubs wasn’t a safe option for either the officers or the public, with a school nearby.

“It’s unfortunate that this had be to done. These bears had been in the area since they came out of hibernation in May,” she said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

A British Columbia woman ac-cused of human trafficking told immigration officials she was bringing her Tanzanian care-giver to Canada because she needed her help during a two-month visit, the woman’s trial heard Thursday.

In a letter submitted with the woman’s application for a visitor’s visa, Mumtaz Ladha

said she suffered from ver-tigo and osteo-arthritis, and needed to bring her longtime employee.

The application submitted to the Canadian embassy in Dar es-Salaam said the single, 23-year-old mother of one would be staying with her and would be supported by her for the duration of the visit.

The first application was de-nied, noting there was no proof of funds provided by either the woman or Ladha.

Upon request, the woman also submitted a Canadian bank statement from Ladha showing a balance in excess of

$549,000. A visitor’s visa was issued allowing the woman, who cannot be named due to a court publication ban, to re-main in Canada for up to six months after her arrival.

On June 3, 2009, the woman fled Ladha’s home in the well-heeled British Properties neigh-bourhood of West Vancouver for a women’s shelter.

Ladha is accused of luring the 22-year-old woman to Can-ada with the promise of a job in a hair salon, only to force her to work around the clock as a maid in her $4-million West Vancouver mansion.THE CANADIAN PRESS

80 students handed sensitivity training for pro-rape chant

The president of the Saint Mary’s University Student As-sociation says he knew about and participated in a chant glorifying the rape of underage girls — but will not step down.

“We want to be some ser-ious advocates about sexual assault and we want to turn this around and educate more students,” said Jared Perry during a news confer-ence in Halifax Thursday.

Eighty student leaders and three SMUSA executive mem-

bers will undergo sensitivity training after a video sur-faced of them leading hun-dreds of first-year students in the chant, which spells out the word “young” with lines like, “‘u’ is for underage, ‘n’ is for no consent.”

Perry said the chant has been taught to frosh for “years.” He said he and the

other leaders just didn’t think about the message.

“It’s more about the rhyme and the chant behind it,” he said. “As odd as it sounds, we didn’t see the message … we now realize that it’s extreme-ly serious and we don’t want it to happen anymore.”

Perry has resigned as chair of the Students Nova Scotia group, but will not give up the office of SMUSA president.

“It’s definitely the biggest mistake I’ve made through-out my university career and probably my life,” he said. “I feel that there’s opportunity here to make some changes and I really do want to turn this around.”

Saint Mary’s president Dr. Colin Dodds called the chant “completely inexcusable.”

“I am taking measures to en-sure it does not happen in the future,” he said in a statement.

U.S. President Barack Obama pressed fellow world leaders on Thursday to support a U.S.-led strike on Syria, but he ran into opposition from Russia, China and even the EU, which condemned the recent chem-ical weapons attack in Bashar Assad’s country but declared it too soon for military action.

“The use of chemical weapons in Syria is not only a tragedy but also a violation of international law that must be addressed,” Obama insisted during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the G20 summit, where he mostly made his case behind the scenes.

China’s G20 delegation spokesman, Qin Gang, was among those who countered, saying: “War isn’t the funda-mental way to solve problems in Syria.”

The prospect of military action against Syria over-shadowed the global growth agenda at the two-day summit, which opened Thursday in the Russian city of St. Petersburg.

Leaders did, however, discuss the crisis during a dinner host-ed by Russian President Vladi-mir Putin, one of the Syrian government’s strongest sup-porters.

While Obama has long called for the ouster of Assad, the chemical weapons attack near Damascus two weeks ago pushed the U.S. to the brink of military action for the first time during Syria’s civil war. The U.S. position on Syria has increased tensions with Putin, one of Assad’s most important back-ers. Putin has blocked efforts at the UN to take action and has questioned intelligence reports U.S. officials say link the chem-ical weapon deployment to the Syrian leader. the associated press

Yahoo has adopted a new logo for the first time since shortly after the Internet company’s founding 18 years ago.

The redesigned look is part of a makeover that Yahoo Inc. has been undergoing since the Sunnyvale, Calif., company hired Google executive Marissa Mayer to become Yahoo’s CEO 14 months ago.

Mayer has already spruced up Yahoo’s front page, email and Flickr photo-sharing ser-vice, as well as engineered a series of acquisitions aimed at attracting more traffic on mobile devices. The shopping spree has been highlighted by Yahoo’s $1.1-billion US pur-chase of Tumblr, an Internet blogging service where the company rolled out its new

logo.“We wanted a logo that

stayed true to our roots (whim-sical, purple, with an exclama-tion point) yet embraced the evolution of our products,” a statement on the website says.

The revision is the first time that Yahoo has made a signifi-cant change to its logo since a few tweaks shortly after co-founders Jerry Yang and David Filo incorporated the company in 1995.

Mayer’s overhaul of Yahoo

has attracted a lot of atten-tion, but so far it hasn’t pro-vided a significant lift to the company’s revenue. Yahoo depends on web advertising to make most of its money, an area where the company’s growth has been anemic while more marketing dollars flow to rivals such as Google and Facebook.

Yahoo’s stock has climbed by nearly 80 per cent, but most of that gain has been driven by its 24 per cent stake in China’s Alibaba Holdings Group. Investors prize Alibaba because it has emerged as one of the fastest-growing com-panies on the Internet. The AssociATed Press

1 Upworthy. One of my favourite sites is upworthy.com, which posts highly shareable,

inspirational, meaningful videos about how people can change the world — from issues like child poverty to body image to climate change. As their @Upworthy Twitter bio simply puts it, “Things that matter. Pass ’em on.” So check it out and spread the word.

2 Rob Delaney. Comedian @RobDelaney tweets gems. Here’s a sample: “Bad news: Doctors

can’t figure out my wife is constantly sneezing blood everywhere. Good news: That hair gel I like is on sale at CVS.” He has a new book, Rob Delaney, about his life (sobriety, depression and happy things) coming out in November. He has no filter, he is a survivor, he is hilarious. Follow him and buy his book.

3 We Day. This inspiring day from Free the Children and Me to We about empowering youth on social issues takes place in

cities throughout Canada. There’s an event on Sept. 20 in Toronto. The star power involved includes Demi Lovato, the Jonas Broth-ers, Martin Luther King III, Serena Ryder and Col. Chris Hadfield. There is also a Vancouver event Oct. 18. The overriding message: Be engaged, be the change. Anyone can make a difference.

4 The Social. This topical Canadian news show debuted this week on CTV and its ap-

proach to social media is bang on. The show connects to viewers via real time tweeting @TheSocialCTV. Many of the show’s topics and discussions arise there, and the hosts read tweets in real time from viewers. Great use of social media to fuel a show and engage with an audience.

5 @KirstineStewart. She is the head of Twitter Canada (former CBC exec) and as such is an

active tweeter, tweeting and RT’ing interest-ing tidbits showing how people are leveraging the power of Twitter in the business, media and pop-culture worlds. Unfortunately, as her Twitter bio says, she doesn’t “know how to get

you ‘verified’....” I just sucked up for no reason.

6 Milos Raonic. Monday night, TSN2 carried a terrific five-set match between Canada’s Milos Raonic and Richard Gas-

quet at the U.S. Open. What made the coverage extra special was that it was commentary-free. Surreal but beautiful in let-ting the players and sounds of the fans dictate the drama. The lesson: Sports announcers need to dial it down in close match-es. Let the action speak.

7 Oh, Canada. Naomi Harris, a Canadian photographer based in New York, released a stunning series of portrait photo-

graphs she captured during a five-month cross-Canada journey. From cricket players in Stanley Park, B.C., to a Sioux Valley Pow Wow in Sioux Valley, Man., to a Demolition Derby in Weyburn, Sask., check out the beautiful pics of our country’s diverse cul-ture at naomiharris.com.

8 Critter bites Mike Fisher. Carrie Underwood posted videos on Vine of her NHL-player hubby picking up a chipmunk with

his bare hand after it sneaked into their home, and then the bite marks it left on him. This is proof celebs really are just like us. Well, maybe not. We’d use a bucket and gloves.

9 WatchABC.com. The future of TV is online. Three ABC com-edies — The Goldbergs, Trophy Wife and Back in the Game

— will debut on WatchABC.com (from Sept. 3 to 17) before they hit TV screens.

10 Twitter etiquette. I always find it amusing when someone complains about what you’re tweeting about. Comedian

@rickygervais summed it up best this week when he tweeted, “Following someone on Twitter & com-plaining about their tweets is like secretly stalking someone & telling them they’re going the wrong way.”

RE: Not All Teachers Created Equal; He Says column, published Sept. 5

I was very offended by a statement that Mr. Mazerolle stated in his article.

I find it ironic that he’s speaking out against labelling, or other forms of prejudgment, however, he is critiquing my profession of ten years, my parents livelihood and the reason I’m debt free after a honorary psych-ology degree and going to become

an environmental technologist.My parents never “sling or

spitballed” any teacher because of their insinuated lack of education. As a matter of fact, they’ve worked their way up from youth to franchise a store, and now they are paying for my education, because they know and respect teachers and education.

They also respect hard work and dedication to their job. So before Mr. Mazerolle belittles cashiers maybe he should realize, that last time I checked, cashiers are people, too. Hilary Pryce, Toronto

Riddick is heavy on the fi lters and crazy creatures, but light on entertainment. CONTRIBUTED

Richard: Mark, Riddick should have been titled Rid-dickulous. With its cheap effects, cheesy dialogue, gratuitous nudity and tes-tosterone-laced characters, it might provide midnight movie-style nostalgia for anyone who grew up on direct-to-video sci-fi flicks in the 1980s. Anyone else might want to go back to the original movie in this series, Pitch Black, and

enjoy a movie that actually kinda makes sense. This is the rare movie that is ac-tually better when the star isn’t in it. What did you think?

Mark: The movie has a look, I have to admit, and it kept me connected to the film for the first 40 min-utes. The director has never met a filter he didn’t like. But Vin Diesel didn’t bother me as much as the movie itself. It’s so grim and ugly it’s hard to watch. And after the first 40, kind of boring, which is unforgivable.

RC: I agree with you about the stark look of the film. There’s no eye candy, al-though some of the crea-tures are pretty cool, but

I’m on the opposite page regarding Diesel’s solo act for the first 40 minutes. I didn’t think this movie worked at all until he gave up the Survivorman act and the bounty hunters showed up. Then, for my money, it became a typical bad movie instead of a surreally bad film.

MB: And didn’t that part of the film feel to you like a video game right down to the tawdry graphics? And if it’s silly you’re looking for, I’m glad to see that women in outer space are still wear-ing eyeliner.

RC: You want silly? How about fending off a vicious dog-creature by starting an impromptu game of fetch?

Or maybe using words like “jamoke” in the far distant future. If the movie had em-braced its silliness instead of taking itself so serious-ly in all the wrong ways, I might have enjoyed it more!

MB: I might have enjoyed it more if it were a com-pletely different movie. I like Diesel in his Fast and Furious franchise, so maybe this flick needed some car races to soup it up. As I watched it, I gave it some grudging admiration for the purity of its grim vi-sion. Then there’s an elev-enth hour act of gratuitous kindness that makes no sense at all and ruins what little the film has going for it.

Just plain RiddickulousRiddick. Tawdry graphics, cheesy dialogue and gratuitous nudity doesn’t even make this fi lm campy fun

RICHARD CROUSE AND MARK BRESLIN

Synopsis

In Vin Diesel’s fourth outing as the mercenary-turned-enforcer, he has been double-crossed and left for dead. “I don’t know how many times I’ve been crossed off the list,” he mumbles in a voice-over, “but this ain’t nothing new.” He spends his days battling aliens until not one, but two teams of bounty hunters land on the planet. The fi rst team, lead by Santana (Jordi Mollà) wants Riddick dead so they can collect the ransom. The other team, headed by Boss Johns (Matt Nable) wants him alive for questioning. As the bounty hunters bang heads, Riddick plans a wild scheme of vengeance and escape from this desolate planet.

The Friendliest Dealersand Best Deals in Town

Brian De Palma’s latest pulpy thriller, Passion, pits Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace against each other as ad agency colleagues who are out for blood after McAdams takes credit for Rapace’s idea for an ad. There’s a lot of craziness going on in the film, including more than a little intimacy be-tween its female leads — and none of that was De Palma’s idea, he insists.

Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace both get the chance to really hit the crazy button in this.

That’s right. I mean, it’s like with Rachel — that phone call. When she gets the phone call about the guy who can-cels the date, she heaved the phone (across the room). I for-get which take that was. Wow! Unbelievable. And then she picks up the phone and figures out whatever she’s going to do next. She calls up an old lover and, “You want to come over?”

There is a lot of, shall we say, fluid female sexuality in this film.I just let the girls go with the scene and just sat back to see what would happen. The way that Dani (played by Karoline Herfurth) offered herself to Isabelle (played by Rapace) — “Kiss me!” — and then starts to undress her! All the girls, all their intimate stuff, was all improvised. They just play it. They make it as real as possible. If something’s not working, we try something else, but they were all fantastic, and it was

just fascinating to watch them.

Rachel McAdams’ character feels a lot like a grown-up version of her character from Mean Girls. Had you seen that film already?Of course. Oh, I knew Rachel could play it. I’d seen her play it before. Playing a dark, manipu-lative lady is a hell of a lot of fun, and she had a lot of fun doing it.

You use a split-screen during a pivotal scene in the film. How have the reactions been to that?It seems to work. Everybody seems to talk about it a lot. It’s not like I just have a paint box of things I want to stick in my movies. I look at the scene, and I think, “What’s the best way to shoot this?” Also, I’ve never done a murder where you have a split-screen and you have these two fantastically beauti-ful women on each side, and then suddenly a knife slashes somebody’s throat.

Wild ride. Thriller has Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace getting a little bit crazy

When women find Passion

Passion pits Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams against each other in an ad agency. It opens next Friday. contributed

Cabaret. Michelle Williams to take on iconic Liza Minnelli roleMichelle Williams will make her Broadway debut next year in a role best known by Liza Minnelli — fishnet-and-bowler -hat-wearing chanteuse Sally Bowles in Cabaret.

The Roundabout Theatre Company confirmed Wednes-day that the former Dawson’s Creek and Brokeback Mountain star will join Alan Cumming in the revival. Williams takes over after Emma Stone withdrew due to scheduling conflicts.

Previews will begin March 21 with an opening set for April 24 at the Roundabout Studio 54 theatre on Broadway, the last home of the show, which ran for more than 2,000 perform-ances from 1998 to 2004. It won the Tony Award in 1998 for best musical revival. Cumming, who will be reprising his 1998 turn as Master of Ceremonies, recently ended a one-man Macbeth. Also reprising their parts from the 1998 production: Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall, who will dir-ect. Marshall will also choreo-graph this time as well.the assoCiated press

The plot

Set in 1931 Berlin, Cabaret centres on the world of the indulgent Kit Kat Klub as it becomes intertwined with the world outside, which gets more precarious on the brink of the Second World War. The songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb include Willkommen and Tomorrow Belongs to Me.

• • • • •

Just not doing it isn’t easy sometimes, but it would have saved a world of confusion and grief in Fontaine’s glossy Australian soap opera. Obvious trouble ensues when a woman and her best friend embark on affairs with each other’s sons. The film’s highly sensual and steamy but a dark foreboding hangs in place. Unfortunate one-liners arise because of the delicate subject matter, but on the whole it’s an intriguing, smart and or-ganic story of four people driven by human forces.anne brodie

The Word

Where in the world is Lamar Odom?

Just what is going on with Lamar Odom? The Internet was abuzz on Thursday with the news that troubled Kardashian man piece Lamar Odom had checked himself into rehab in order to save his marriage to Kourtney Kardashian. It hasn’t been the best month for Odom — numerous re-ports have surfaced that he cheated on Kourtney with a stripper and he’s come clean about his addiction to Oxycontin, Ambien and

cocaine — but not before he was arrested for a DUI last week in California (so maybe add “alcohol” to that list, Lamar?). But then TMZ.com came out with the bombshell that Odom is nowhere near a

rehab centre and Kourtney has heard nothing from him. So where-oh-where is Odom? Who knows? If only someone would create a show called Keeping up with the Kardashians so we could keep tabs.

When it comes to school lunches, a little creativity goes a long way. MATTHEW MEAD/ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An A+ for creativity

No, this isn’t real sushi. It is a whole-wheat tortilla filled with meat, then rolled up and sliced into maki-style sushi rounds. It’s fast, easy, delicious and healthy.

If you like, add vege-tables (leafy greens and grated carrots work particu-larly well).

You can even accom-pany this with containers of honey mustard or barbe-cue sauce for dipping the “sushi.”

Want to take this in a dif-ferent direction? Substitute peanut butter for the cream cheese and a banana for the meats. Sprinkle in a few mini chocolate chips, then roll and slice.

1. Spread cream cheese evenly over one side of tortilla. Be sure to spread cream cheese all the way to the edge, as this helps seal

the roll shut and keep it from unwrapping.

2. Arrange the meat (and any vegetables you want to add) in an even layer over the tortilla. Be sure to

leave about 1 inch of cream cheese exposed along the edges.

3. Roll tortilla and fillings into a tight bundle. If tor-tilla won’t stay sealed shut,

spread just more cream cheese along the edge to help glue it tight. Use a ser-rated knife to cut the roll into 1-inch rounds.

King of global grapes

There are a lot of grapes in the wine world. While some are variations on a single varietal, the major-ity are standalone berries — many of which never see a vine outside of their particular geography.

Some, though, are inter-national superstars. Think chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and riesling on the white side, and pinot noir, merlot and cabernet sauvi-gnon on the red side.

Cabernet sauvignon is arguably king. An accom-modating fruit, it’s one of the few grapes that keeps its core taste profile when it travels. You’ll find its blackberry to black currant flavours and typically oak-influenced power whether you’re catching a cab in Bordeaux, France or On-tario’s Niagara Peninsula.

Cabernet has had a love affair with California for decades. Famous for producing powerful, palate-pounding wines in The Golden State, the recent Cali trend is toward plump, juicier versions.

Trinchero Family Estates’ 2011 The Show Cabernet Sauvignon ($17.95 to $19.99) is about red berry expression and balanced tannins. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL PROVINCES.

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 tbsp cream cheese

• 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla

• 1 to 2 oz thinly sliced meat (salami, steak, cooked chicken or turkey, or deli meats, such as ham or prosciutto)

JUDY’S TIP OF THE WEEKIf your still looking for that one person whocan change your life, take a look in the mirror. - Judy Jobse, Service Manager

You can’t blame Nicklas Jen-sen for being a little anxious as the summer days ticked away and the Young Stars Classic loomed closer.

A first-round pick of the Vancouver Canucks in 2011, Jensen had what is known as a cup of coffee in the National Hockey League last season, playing in two games before his re-assignment back to Chicago of the American Hockey League.

Not so much a cup of cof-fee as it was a couple sips.

He comes to Penticton for the Young Stars tournament wanting more than that.

“You’ve been working out all summer for this, so the last two weeks, especially, I’ve been restless, walking around just wanting to start,” said Jensen earlier this week.

Jensen, 20, was in the line-up when the Canucks pros-pects took on the San Jose Sharks prospects Thursday at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

He’s one of the veterans on

the Vancouver squad, given his brief experience in the NHL.

“He probably knows that it’s getting close to his time where he can get a legitim-ate shot to make the team,” said Travis Green, head coach of the Utica Comets, the Canucks’ new AHL affiliate.

His foray into professional hockey yielded good results early on, when he scored six goals in eight games com-bined between the regular season and playoffs with the Chicago Wolves in 2012.

Last season provided the steepest learning curve.

His call-up to the Canucks

taught him just how fast the NHL game is.

“They all know what to do before they get the puck,” said Jensen.

“It’s not necessarily all skating and speed, it’s the mental game, too. They’re just so quick in their deci-sions.”

Canadians on the hunt for three-peatAll that separates the Vancouver Canadians from becoming three-time de-fending Northwest League champions are the Boise Hawks.

The Canadians, short-season Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, advanced to the champion-ship series thanks to a two-game sweep of the Everett AquaSox in the opening round of the playoffs.

Game 1 of the cham-pionship series goes Friday in Boise. Game 2 goes Sun-day in Vancouver. METRO

Horoscopes

Aries March 21 - April 20 You need to get your work-rest balance sorted out. Most likely you have overdone it in recent weeks and now need to crash out for a while. Next time, try not to go to such extremes.

Taurus April 21 - May 21 Creative and artistic plans are under good stars but you may not be able to do all the things you were hoping to — at least not yet. You’ll know when the time is right to act.

Gemini May 22 - June 21 It will be so easy to say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person today. If you do open your mouth when you should have kept it closed, you should apologize quickly.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 According to the planets there is someone out there who is trying to make you look bad. Why? Because they are jealous, that’s why. In a way, you should take it as a compliment. But watch your back as well.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 Expect a certain amount of criticism today, most likely from people who do not agree with your spending plans. Perhaps they have a point but they won’t change your ways by going on and on about it.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Plan every step carefully. You cannot afford sloppy thinking now, not if you are to move up in the world and become the mover and shaker you know you can be. Think and act like a professional.

Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Cosmic activity in the most sensitive area of your chart urges you to confront your fears. You can sweep your worries under the bed if you want but deep down you will know they’re still there.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Before you commit yourself to a new plan, you must work out how much it is going to cost in time, effort and money. You may need help from family or friends. Ask and you will receive.

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You need to make a decision concerning your status and with Jupiter, your ruler, about to be touched by the Sun you can make it with confidence. Whatever it is you desire, the universe will give it to you.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Make sure you know all the facts about a situation, especial-ly if it could cost you money if it goes wrong. Once you have signed your name, there will be no going back.

Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 You may have been super confi-dent yesterday, when the moon was new. But like the moon, your moods can change rapidly and you will want to keep it low key today.

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 Those around you may be lacking in confidence but you aren’t and over the next 24 hours your talents will be in demand. Dealing with others’ problems will take your mind off your own. SALLY BROMPTON
