Crime prevention ‘moving in right direction’: Chief

Police released their annual crime statistics report Tues-day, and the numbers show crime is down almost across the board in the city.

The force’s 2013 report shows overall crime levels dropped 14 per cent over the 2012 numbers, violent crime dipped 13 per cent and prop-erty crime fell 17 per cent.

“From a crime-prevention perspective, we’re definitely moving in the right direc-tion,” said WPS Chief Devon

Clunis. “I know that we’re just beginning to turn the corner on crime prevention, but I think we’re achieving some momentum.”

Supt. Gord Perrier cred-ited much of the report’s good news to a combination of the force’s push toward crime prevention through social development and their increasing use of crime analysis to target hot spots of criminal activity.

“It’s about doing a num-

ber of different things all together all together to try and attack different pockets of crime,” he explained. “It’s not just a rear-view look — it’s got to be rear-view, it’s got to be now, and it’s got to be what is it tomorrow.”

While the numbers were down in nearly all 21 cat-egories of violent crimes — including an 18 per cent drop in the number of homi-cides over the last five-year average — rates were up in sexual assaults with a weapon (23 such assaults compared with 10 in 2012), and attempted murder, up 55 per cent with 17 last year compared with 11 in 2012.

Arizona not mayor’s primary residence; report called mistake

Mayor Sam Katz’s primary residence continues to be in Winnipeg, his office stated on Tuesday in response to a media report that his home in Scotts-dale, Ariz., was viewed as his primary residence in tax rec-ords.

Carmen Barnett, communi-cations director for the mayor’s office, said it would be impos-

sible for Katz to declare his Scottsdale home as his primary residence because in order to do so, he’d have to spend six months plus a day there.

“We all know that’s logistic-ally impossible to make EPC,” she said, referring to executive policy committee, which gener-ally meets three Wednesdays a month from September to July.

“He’s declaring all of that, and he’s always been open — since he’s owned properties down there before being may-or, he’s always declared that Winnipeg is his home.”

Barnett said Katz provided all of the accurate information to the land titles company and believes the error lies there or with the Maricopa County As-

sessor’s Office, which includes the area where the mansion is located.

In Tuesday’s edition of the Winnipeg Free Press, Robert Pizorno, communications dir-ector for the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office, stated that they plan on sending Katz a notice to clarify his status and recover $600 in property tax credit given due to the home being listed in their files as a primary residence.

This isn’t the first time Katz’s Arizona home has made headlines. In 2012 it was re-vealed that he had bought the home from Teri Nordstrom, who is related to the Shindle-man family of Shindico Realty. BERNICE PONTANILLA/METRO

Metro Winnipeg and the CBC have partnered to bring you the best of the Winnipeg Fringe Festival. Here are three shows you should check out:

Executing Justice

The year is 2030 and Canada has adopted capital punish-ment. Inmate Daryl Kane is the first to visit the chair.

Kane, played by Bill Pats, speaks directly to the audi-ence. He tells his story, pausing sometimes to say, “It’s fun to kill somebody, isn’t it?” Uncom-fortable silence. People shift in their seats. And he moves on with the story.

Pats plays different char-acters with conviction. You’ll forget the story is fictional. Exe-cuting Justice provides a poign-antly human look at one man’s life in all its grit. You may not like Kane, but by the end of the play you will surely understand him.

The only thing keeping this from being a five-star perform-ance is some dropped threads. Who is the father in the Wal-mart parking lot? How does he fit in? Why don’t the prosecu-tors mention a baby was killed?

Be sure to book tickets in ad-vance. The opening show was nearly full.MEGHAN MAST, CBC REVIEW CREW

The Untitled Sam Mullins Project

Sam Mullins’ new show is inspired in part by his experi-ences in a stand-up comedy class, in which he is asked to write down four truths. He gets it wrong, but the truths stick with and inspire him. They’ve also inspired me. So here are four truths about The Untitled Sam Mullins Project:

Truth 1: He looks like a cross between Woody Allen and Andy Samberg. This makes me want to listen to him for days.

Truth 2: He’s a first-rate storyteller and comedian whose life-mined material is both hilarious and profound.

Truth 3: He is a young man who speaks with the genuine authority of an old soul, and it makes you want to hear more.

Truth 4: The Untitled Sam Mullins Project provides a satis-fying hour for anyone who likes their storytelling to have a smart dose of humour and their stand-up to have a deep vein of pathos.KELLY STIFORA, CBC REVIEW CREW

The Surprise

Martin Dockery just found out he has half-Vietnamese twin siblings. They are 36 years younger than him. His family doesn’t express emotion so he bottles up his feelings and travels to Asia to visit his new family.

Dockery is an expert story-teller with a perfect sense of timing. His long fingers dance through the air as he tells a story you won’t quickly forget — because in a way this is also our story, one of disintegrat-ing relationships and the pain and joy of family. With The Surprise, Dockery latches on to something fundamentally human. He lays himself bare, pulling the audience through laughter and tears.

Go and see this show. Per-iod. You won’t be disappointed. MEGHAN MAST, CBC REVIEW CREW

Police board OKs funding for cadets on buses

Cadets will aid in the battle to make buses safer no matter who picks up the tab in the future, Winnipeg Police Chief Devon Clunis said on Tuesday.

Clunis made his comments following the police board meeting, where a discussion took place over which depart-ment would fund the positions passed this year: police or Win-nipeg Transit.

The board approved the addition of the auxiliary force cadets and the police budget as the source; however, an amend-ment was made stating that if the funding for the two pos-itions did not materialize, they would be discontinued.

Clunis said that while he understands the board’s rea-soning, he believes it’s about more than financing.

“This is public safety, so at the end of the day we certainly will never jeopardize public safety simply because, maybe, finances aren’t there,” he said, adding that depending how this initial step goes, there could be more cadets assigned to buses in the future.

Coun. Brian Mayes and Dave Sauer, president of the Win-nipeg Labour Council, both spoke passionately in favour

of the cadets’ inclusion of the safety measure, which includes inspectors.

Early on in the meeting, board members asked Mayes and Sauer about stats behind the assaults, and whether they warranted the inclusion of ca-dets.

Sauer said that many drivers don’t report the assaults, which usually originate as a fare dis-pute.

“Some of the spitting, they’ll just wipe it off and carry on,” he said. “It depends on the sever-ity, but there is quite a long list. I’ve seen a lot of the data.

“The variety is really quite startling: stabbings, punch-ing, kicking, firearms pulled on operators, liquids and they also include bodily fluids in cups and cans thrown at oper-ators.”

From spitting to stabbing. Driver assault is all too common, says labour council president

The nuts and bolts of an agreement with school div-isions for the school resource officer program led to ques-tions over the Winnipeg Po-lice Board’s jurisdiction on Tuesday.

David Sanders, a Win-nipegger who often speaks at city hall meetings, raised concerns during Tuesday’s special meeting. Sanders noted the police board was receiving the agreement after council already approved it on July 16.

“Right now, I can’t im-agine any good excuse for failing to bring these agree-

ments to the board for ap-proval first, at least by the time of your last regular board meeting on June 6,” he said.

Police Chief Devon Clunis said the police board is still in its “infancy” and is work-ing out what it does — and doesn’t — encompass.

“You’re talking about working with the city, the board, police service, under-standing who has jurisdic-tion and it’s just going to take some time and discus-sion, meaningful discus-sion, keeping our eyes fixed on the prize (which is) that

we’re trying to create a safe environment for the city,” Clunis said after the meet-ing.

Coun. Scott Fielding, who chairs the board, said the provincial legislation gov-erning the board is a “very complicated document.”

At the end of the discus-sion, the school resource of-ficer program was renewed until 2017 and will see police officers stationed at schools in three divisions: St. James-Assiniboia, Pembina Trails and the Winnipeg School Division. Bernice POntanilla/MetrO

A train bearing the dead from the downed Malaysian airliner finally reached Ukrainian gov-ernment-held territory Tues-day, but the pro-Russian separa-tists in control of the crash site showed little willingness to al-low the full-scale investigation demanded by world leaders.

Five days after the plane was blown out of the sky, refrigerat-ed railcars bearing victims’ bod-ies — gathered up after several days in the sun — rolled out of the war zone and into the city of Kharkiv.

The dead will be flown to the Netherlands, the home-land of most of the victims, for identification. The Dutch government declared a day of

national mourning Wednesday, as the country prepared for the arrival of the first bodies in the afternoon.

It was unclear how many

of the 282 corpses reported found so far were on the train. The crash killed all 298 people aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

Jan Tuinder, the Dutch of-ficial in charge of the inter-national team dealing with the dead, said that at least 200 bod-ies were aboard the train and

that more remains could be found once the body bags are examined fully.

The flight data recorders will be examined by British air accident investigators. At the crash zone, Malaysia Airlines officials walked the site wear-ing backpacks, photographing the scattered debris. The AssociATed Press

Conspiracy theories

Russian media speculation paints Ukraine as crash culprit An assassination attempt against Russian President Vladimir Putin; a desperate ploy to draw the West into the battle for Ukraine’s east; a botched mission to com-mit mass murder against Russian citizens: Russian news consumers are getting plenty of explanations for the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which killed 298 people.

Yekaterina Andreyeva, one of Russia’s most famous TV anchors, delved into one theory hours after news of the crash broke: Putin, travelling home from Bra-zil, passed along the same flight path as the Malaysian passenger jet less than one hour before it was hit, suggesting an assassination attempt.

By Friday morning, the assassination theory was replaced by other scenarios. The AssociATed Press

Warship sale continues

A reported meat scandal in China engulfed Starbucks and Burger King on Tuesday and spread to Japan, where McDonald’s said the Chinese supplier accused of selling expired beef and chicken had provided 20 per cent of the meat for its chicken nuggets.

Chinese authorities ex-panded their investigation of

the meat supplier, Shanghai company Husi Food Co. A day after Husi’s food process-ing plant in Shanghai was sealed by the China Food and Drug Administration, the agency said Tuesday that in-spectors also will look at its facilities and meat sources in five provinces in central, eastern and southern China.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Liquefied natural gas: The answer?

British Columbia’s Premier, Christy Clark, says B.C.’s pro-posed liquefied natural gas industry has the power to fight air pollution in China and clear up smog in Los An-geles.

The premier’s natural gas development minister also boasted to delegates at the same conference on Monday that the LNG industry will clean up the provincial debt.

Clark told the Pacific Northwest Economic Region

gathering, where business and government leaders from provinces, territories and U.S. states gathered to address policy issues, that LNG will fight harmful greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, but it may also increase those same emis-sions in B.C.

“This is our biggest op-portunity we’ve ever had to reduce greenhouse gas emis-

sions worldwide,” Clark told a crowd in Whistler, B.C. “Studies have shown cleaner air in China means cleaner air here. Cleaner air in China means fewer smog days in Los Angeles.”

She said China plans to reduce its energy depend-ency on coal and is looking to increase its use of natural gas by four per cent, which is not a large number, but is equivalent to all the green-house gas emissions in B.C. for a period of 18 months.

The premier said the Lib-eral government is banking on at least three LNG export plants operating in B.C. by 2020. The major export mar-kets for B.C. LNG are China, South Korea and Japan.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kayakers having a whale of a time

Listen... “whales are huge” is an absurdly obvious thing to say. The word “whale” itself is a synonym for things that are particularly gargantuan.

Heck, the blue whale is the largest animal to ever call our planet home. The evidence is in. It’s settled. Whales are huge.

But then you see something like this jowl-jellying encounter between some Argentine kayakers and a few visiting whales, and what’s left to say about an animal that resembles a small island emerging from an undersea eruption? (Gisela6652/YouTube)

Jaws is back.But instead of mass hysteria, the

great white shark is spawning retail frenzy along the banks of old Cape Cod.

Shark sightings have increased in re-cent years along with the increase in shark bait: Big, tasty (if you’re a shark) grey seals.

But instead of freaking out, people are f locking to the area to spot a shark and attack the racks, where they can buy great-white inspired T-shirts, hoodies, hats and cute little stuffed sharks.

People love sharks, and they love great whites most of all.

The 1975 movie, Steven Spielberg’s first blockbuster, has earned about US$2 billion, ad-justed for inflation, and its ominous doo-doo-doo-doo music continues to resonate up and down our spine.

The success of Jaws led to a sequel and perhaps the greatest movie tagline in history: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.

It also led to the summer blockbuster: The bloated multi-million dollar overabundance of special effects and bad acting that has spawned a creature even scarier than a shark: Michael Bay, the director of the Trans-former movies.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theatre.

Hysteria aside, there have been 106 unprovoked great white shark attacks in U.S. waters, 13 of them fatal, since 1916.

You’re as likely to be attacked by a grey seal.

Still, unlike the pleasingly plump and (usually) indolent seal, the great white has a powerful grip on our imaginations — as you might expect from a creature that can grow up to seven metres long, swim 65 kilometres per hour and bite with the force of 4,000 foot pounds, what-ever that means.

Shark scientists believe most great white attacks on people are of the experi-mental variety, or test bites.

“It kind of looks like a seal, so I’ll just give ’er a nibble.”

There is learned speculation that great whites don’t even like the taste of humans, which is probably cold consola-

tion for those swimmers down one leg on account of a test bite.

I can testify that when someone on a paddle board comes screaming by, shouting:

“Shark! Shark in the water!” you don’t spend any time wondering about the myth versus the hype.

You just get the hell out of the water as fast as you can.

Four-thousand pounds of force, indeed,One good thing about all this great white shark wor-

ship: There could be as few as 3,500 great whites left in all the world’s oceans after decades of over-fishing,

mostly for shark fin soup. Although it’s probably too little too late, a lit-

tle respect from its foremost predator is exactly what the great white shark needs.

SCENEPam Grier walks into a bar.

Sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it’s actually the setup for one of the great fight scenes of the 1970s.

Grier played the title char-acter in 1974’s Foxy Brown, a woman who poses as a high-end escort to get revenge on the gangsters who killed her G-Man boyfriend. When her undercover work brings her to a seedy bar, she confronts Bobbie, a tough-talking pa-tron (played by Jeannie Epper who was also Lynda Carter’s stunt double on Wonder Woman).

“Listen, skinny,” says Bob-bie, “before you start talking tough, I better warn you. I got a black belt in karate. So why don’t you get out of here quietly, while you still have some teeth left in that ugly face?”

Before you can say, “You go, girl,” Foxy clobbers Bobbie with a wooden stool, slam-ming her in the face then shattering it across her back.

“And I got my black belt in bar stools!” says Foxy.

Grier could deliver a line and a punch, attributes that allowed her to cut a swathe in the male-dominated action movie market of the 1970s.

This weekend Scarlett Jo-hansson adds to Grier’s kick- butt legacy on the big screen with Lucy, an all-out actioner about a woman who becomes a superhuman when a drug allows her to use 100 per cent of her brain capacity. “I’m able to do things I’ve never done before,” she says. “I feel everything and can control the elements around me.”

Johansson joins a list of dangerous distaff action stars like Michelle Yeoh (Crouch-ing Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Jenette Goldstein (Aliens), Angelina Jolie (Wanted, Salt, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) and Uma Thur-man (Kill Bill, Parts 1 & 2) who have given Schwarzenegger and Stallone a run for their money.

Perhaps the wildest fe-male action movie of all time is 1965’s “ode to female vio-lence,” Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! starring Tura Satana as

the thrill-seeking go-go dan-cer Varla.

Experienced in martial arts, Satana did her own stunts and brought her unique style — black leather gloves, Ger-maine Monteil eyeliner and layers of Max Factor pancake makeup — to the film.

She even sup-plied some of

the movie’s most memorable lines.

When a gas station attend-ant ogles her cleavage while extolling the virtues of being on the open road and seeing America, Satana ad libbed, “You won’t find it down there, Columbus!”

Time critic Richard Corliss called Satana’s performance “the most honest, maybe the one honest portrayal in the [director Russ] Meyer canon and certainly the scariest.”

“I took a lot of my anger that had been stored inside of me for many years and let it loose,” Satana said of her most famous role.

“I helped to create the character Varla and helped to make her someone that many

women would love to be like.”

Benedict Cumberbatch GETTY IMAGES

The trailer for a new biopic about Alan Turing, directed by Morten Tyldum (Headhunt-ers) has been released, featur-ing Benedict Cumberbatch as the brilliant mathematician, whose exceptional intelligence was not always an advantage.

The Imitation Game tells the story of Turing, the British mathematician and cryptana-lyst who is widely considered to be the founder of computer science. Benedict Cumber-batch (Sherlock, 12 Years a Slave) plays the title character,

joined by Keira Knightley and Matthew Goode.

The biopic focuses primar-ily on the war years, during which Turing worked at the British government’s code-breaking centre during the Second World War. His innova-tive solution for deciphering the Nazis’ Enigma code laid the groundwork for his de-velopment of computer sci-ence in the years after the war.

The Imitation Game will ar-rive in theatres in the U.S. on Nov. 21. AFP

Times that the living me-morial had fallen victim to “bark beetles and ladybug beetles, among other tree-unfriendly creatures,” but at least there are plans to plant a replacement. Let’s just hope the hungry in-sects haven’t set their little beetle eyes on Strawberry Fields next.

Clooney humble- brags his

lucky catchGeorge Clooney, social climber? The Ocean’s 11 star allowed his recent Variety interview to stray ever so briefly onto the topic of his engagement to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, but just long enough to offer a concise summary of the pair-ing: “I’m marrying up,” he tells the publication. Better be careful, Ms. Alamuddin. This Clooney guy might be a bit beneath you.

Zac’s got a tiger on his back the morning after his night with Michelle

Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez’s summer fling seems to be going strong, as the Neighbors star was spot-ted leaving the Fast and the Furious actress’s home on a recent morning, overnight bag in hand, according to E! News. The pair were reportedly living it up the

night before at the Chateau Marmont with some pals, in-cluding Robert Pattinson. But Efron’s overnight bag wasn’t his only interesting accessory during his walk of shame. He also carried a skateboard and donned a jacket with a fero-cious tiger on the back. Quite the look, Efron.

Tucked into a corner of eastern France where over-seas tourists rarely venture, the Park of the Little Prince takes its name from one of French literature’s most beloved characters — and takes its cues from a sim-pler time when roller coast-ers didn’t set out to ter-rify, living room televisions didn’t have multi-player 3D video games and theme parks were scaled for the small.

The park, which opened July 1, is perfect for visitors looking for a way to enter-tain small children who might have had their fill of road-tripping through the French, German or Swiss countryside.

It’s located in Unger-sheim, in the heart of the Alsace region, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) from Basel, Switzerland, and about 15 kilometres (10 miles) from the German border.

There are 31 attractions based loosely on the theme of flight.

The Little Prince is a space explorer and author Antoine de Saint-Exupery was a well-known pilot. He got his pilot’s license in Strasbourg, the regional capital of Alsace.

Attractions include two tethered passenger bal-loons, a film about deep-sea mysteries watched from the perspective of a water scooter, and visits with real fox cubs or a flock of sheep

Avoiding a face-to-face faux pas

In a competitive job market, it can be pretty hard to land an interview.

When you manage to get one, it’s important to make the most of the opportunity.

Here are some common mistakes that may be stopping you from interview success, whether that means getting hired or progressing to the next stage of the hiring process.

Abandon these bad habits and your interviews will have a much higher chance of a posi-tive outcome.

Behaving unprofessionallyRegardless of your chosen in-dustry, previous experience or the nature of the position at hand, professional conduct is absolutely vital.

Dress to impress at every interview you attend, even if it’s a casual work environment. Overdressing is better than underdressing. Avoid wearing sandals, short skirts, T-shirts, jeans or shorts.

Map out your route in ad-vance, and be sure you have an alternate plan if there are any issues en route. If you’re travel-ling to an unfamiliar area, you may want to test out your route beforehand.

Time how long it will take to get to your interview, and allocate extra time for traffic.

Make sure you arrive on time — which means arriving early.

Aim to be at the interview site 15 to 30 minutes ahead of time. Arriving too early can catch an interviewer off-guard, so be prepared to spend some time at a nearby coffee shop or other venue until it’s appropri-ate for you to show up.

Once you arrive to your interview, turn off your phone. If a phone goes off in the inter-view, you might as well get up and leave.

Tip: You are under scrutiny

from the moment you enter the interview location. Assume a confident, professional bear-ing in advance of your arrival.

Winging itYou read the job description and decided that you’re a per-

fect fit for the role — but land-ing the interview doesn’t mean anything is for sure.

A lack of preparation will make it harder for you to shine in an interview, particu-larly if you’re unable to an-swer simple questions about

the company’s operations.Remember, an interview is

not just about your skills and experience. Capable interview-ers will also be looking to assess your personal and professional fit. Make sure to read about the business. Note things like their mission, CEO’s name, values, and services.

Have a good understand-ing of the actual position you are interviewing for. Can you identify the major skills and experience that would make someone an asset for the role?

Don’t forget to study your own resumé.

Having a detailed know-ledge of the company is just part of the picture — making compelling connections be-tween the role and your own skills is vital for success.

Tip: Research sample inter-view questions online. Choose several at random. Could you compose a competent answer on the spot?TalenTegg.ca is canada’s leading job siTe and online career resource for college and universiTy sTudenTs and recenT graduaTes.

Success in the sit-down. Ace any interview by burying a few common blunders

Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification with questions you’re unsure of. The overall goal is to provide relevant answers to each question. istock

Oversharing

Some organizations do interviews in a very laid-back fashion, and work hard to make the whole process feel like a casual chat.

Maurice Leggett may be a CFL rookie, but he’s been around pro football since 2008.

That’s long enough to have played in a lot of differ-ent schemes, and he says he likes the feel of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ new-look de-fence.

“It’s fun to me, it’s like ‘Hey, look what I can do now,’” the member of Win-nipeg’s secondary said after practice Tuesday.

“It’s a fun defence. The best way to play is having fun.”

The bible according to defensive co-ordinator Gary Etcheverry is, “Know what your neighbour does and be prepared to do it yourself,” whenever and wherever ne-cessary.

“I have to learn the entire defence just in case some-thing happens, or I have to direct someone that doesn’t know what to do as well as I know the defence,” said Leg-gett, who could be returning to the lineup in Vancouver Friday, after being out with an ankle injury since July 3.

He’s healthy again at the right time, with a question mark hanging over an injured Johnny Sears for Friday’s tilt against the surging B.C. Lions.

“He seems like a pretty smart football player,” said

head coach Mike O’Shea.“He’s smooth, smooth,

smooth out there. He’s com-petitive. He can do a bunch of different things. We were pretty happy with Moe Leg-gett from the get-go so it’s not a stretch to see him in there.”

O’Shea says his versatility

is exactly what the Bombers want.

“These guys got to know the goal is, by some point during the season, they know everything about every pos-ition,” O’Shea said. “That’s how they meet, that’s how they talk.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Will Ford

Riders sign former Bombers all-starThe Saskatchewan Rough-riders added running back Will Ford to their practice roster Tuesday.

The five-foot-11, 195-pound Ford spent the last two seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Ford was an East Division all-star in 2013 after rush-ing for 594 yards and two touchdowns while adding seven catches for 41 yards in 13 regular-season games.

Ford was released by the Bombers earlier this season without appearing in a game. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Goldeyes

Fish double down on RedHawksThe Winnipeg Goldeyes swept a doubleheader against the Fargo-Moor-head RedHawks, claim-ing 7-2 and 4-3 wins on Monday.

The Goldeyes improved their record to 41-23.

In something more reminiscent of the environ-ment at a Winnipeg Jets game, the 5,878 Fish faith-ful booed and berated Red-Hawks second baseman C.J. Retherford throughout the second game, after he collided hard with Winni-peg catcher Luis Alen on a play at the plate. Rether-ford plowed the veteran backstop into the dirt, scoring in the process.

Alen, no worse for wear, singled in his next at-bat.

Sam eager for next phase with RamsNow it starts to get intense for Michael Sam and the rest of the St. Louis Rams’ rookies.

The first openly gay player drafted in the NFL is enthusias-tic about the challenge. Twice on Tuesday, he mentioned how enjoyable it was being back on the field and trading wisecracks with teammates.

“I’m so excited to be back with the guys,” Sam said. “Football’s fun.”

Sam hopes there will be less attention about his sex-ual orientation, but added his focus has to be on making the team. He said he’s in the best shape of his life, dropping 13 pounds in the month since the

last OTA workout, weighing in at 257 pounds.

“Feeling great,” he said. “It’s just where I want to be speed-wise, so I can run fast

and make plays. I want to be as fast as I can.”

He didn’t have much to say about his experience at the ESPYS, where he received the Arthur Ashe Courage award and got a hug from Hall of Famer Jim Brown on his way to the stage.

Just as they did after the draft and during OTAs, team-mates didn’t seem to care that Sam was gay. Offensive line-man Demetrius Rhaney had only compliments.

“He’s a football player, he’s not a bother,” Rhaney said. “He’s laid-back, funny, jokes a lot. Pretty good.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Basketball. Two-time NBA MVP pans critic’s suggestion that players from the North are soft

Steve Nash had a good chuckle at ESPN personality Jason Whit-lock’s suggestion that Can-adians in the NBA are not as motivated to succeed as their American counterparts.

“Andrew Wiggins is from Canada,” Whitlock said on Keith Olbermann’s ESPN show Monday night. “And Canadian athletes, I think, among NBA players and NBA people, per-haps don’t want it as much as even some of the Europeans, and certainly the American players.”

Nash, a two-time NBA MVP and the general manager of Canada’s senior men’s squad, was in town for a three-day camp before the team departed for a European exhibition ser-ies. He responded to Whitlock’s

comments after the team’s final practice.

“It’s a wonderful sweeping generalization, really good. Hit it on the head there,” Nash said.

The 40-year-old, who broke into the league during the 1996-97 season with the Phoenix Suns, admitted he had to over-come knocks in his game as a

young player making a name for himself. He said Wiggins will have to learn to silence his critics, too.

“I had to prove that I was athletic enough to play in the NBA,” said the Los Angeles Lak-ers point guard. “His athleti-cism isn’t a question, they’re worrying about his motivation and desire.

“He’ll overcome it. He’ll take that criticism, like he always has over the last four or five years, and overcome it. There’s times where we’d always like to see him show a little more al-pha male, but when the game’s on the line, I never see him turn away slights as motivation and he’ll overcome it.” The Canadian PRess

There are few auto segments more fiercely fought than the pickup truck market, and few as diverse. Buyers range from those who tow massive campers and horse trailers to those who drive them primarily as big cars.

Because of this, auto-makers are updating their trucks far more frequently than they did in the past.

General Motors has intro-duced an all-new Chevrolet Silverado for 2014, along with its mechanically iden-tical GMC Sierra twin. This truck had been lagging be-hind some of its competi-tors for a while, but it’s now firmly back in the game.

The three available en-gines are the same size as on the last-generation mod-el — a 4.3-litre V6, a 5.3-litre V8 and a 6.2-litre V8 — but

they’re entirely new, and they come with fuel-saving technologies.

One of them is cylinder deactivation, which seam-lessly shuts the engine down to four cylinders when full power isn’t needed. That’s becoming relatively com-mon on V8s, but it’s rare to see it on a V6, as here.

On the Double Cab, the rear doors are now hinged at the front instead of the back, making it simple to

get into the rear seats. On all models, the doors are now flush with the body, rather than extended into the roof, which helps reduce noise. Overall, this is probably the quietest truck cabin on the market, and the redesigned interior is both handsome and functional.

A lower hip point on the seat makes it easier to get into this big truck. The new suspension and electric power steering have been

tuned for responsive hand-ling and a smooth ride, and it’s a good driver.

It also tows well, al-though competitive trucks produce more torque than Chevrolet, with engines comparable to the Silver-ado’s 5.3-litre V8.

Chevy hasn’t leapfrogged over the competition with this truck, but the consider-able improvements warrant serious consideration for those in the market.

Review. The improved Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups narrow the gap with their competitors

The outgoing 2014 makes way for an all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 model later this year.

2 Ram 1500Base price:$26,995

Three engines are available, including the only diesel engine currently found in a light-duty pickup truck.

3Toyota TundraBase price: $26,950

Toyota off ers two V8 engines, and has updated its styling and suspension for 2014.

Interesting features

An available MyLink infotainment system, high-wear cloth uphol-stery, forward-collision and lane-departure warning with vibrating seat alert, park assist, and power sunroof.

Points

• This is the first year for the High Country, a top-line luxury trim model that roughly corresponds to GMC’s Sierra Denali. • A new bumper step and corresponding hand-hold is a simple but effective method of accessing the truck bed.• Changes include new styling, projector headlamps, more differentiation between the trims, and a new avail-

able 6-foot-6 bed on the Crew Cab.

Market position

The Chevrolet Silver-ado comes in three cab configurations (Regular, Double and Crew) and in a range of trim lines to suit various needs and budgets. As with Ford and Ram, heavy-duty models are also available.

Horoscopes by Sally Brompton

AriesMarch 21 - April 20If you listen to what others say you will likely learn something to your advantage today. The Sun in Leo means there are opportunities coming your way.

TaurusApril 21 - May 21If the stresses of life are getting to you, take an hour out of your schedule and sit somewhere quiet where you can refresh both your body and mind.

GeminiMay 22 - June 21 There is no point worrying about how you are going to make ends meet. You know from experience that something always comes up.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 Look ahead to where you would like to be a month or even a year from now and start doing the things that can make it happen. The more you focus on the goals, the more likely they are to come about.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 The most important thing now is that you keep reminding yourself that all things are pos-sible. You alone create the path you take through life and you alone are responsible for it.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You may have a brilliant idea but don’t do anything with it yet. Let it simmer for a while. When you come back to it later, it will have matured.

LibraSept. 24 - Oct. 23Life is meant to be enjoyed and that is exactly what you will be doing over the next few days.Others will be attracted by your positive vibes.

ScorpioOct. 24 - Nov. 22If you pay attention to what a friend tells you today, you will learn something to your advantage. At the very least you will avoid making the same kind of mistake.

SagittariusNov. 23 - Dec. 21The only danger now is that with so many marvelous things going on you could let down your guard and let others make decisions that are profi table for them but costly for you.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20You’re entitled to your opinion and to be heard but if you think everyone is going to agree with you chances are that you will be very disappointed.

Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19Be nice to those you meet and do business with today. You are going to need their help over the next few weeks. Kind words will go a long way towards winning over important people.

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20If someone says something hurtful about you today don’t take it too seriously. Most likely they are just having a bad day and need to let off steam.
