Fountain of youth at play

Alberta’s health minister says a government document opponents are calling the smoking gun on healthcare queue jumping is not that at all. Gene Zwozdesky agreed Thursday that a PowerPoint document shown to government caucus last summer refers to patients jumping surgery wait lists — but not in Alberta. “That specific reference is with regard to people leaving Alberta to get a medically insured service in another province because the wait lists were shorter (elsewhere),” Zwozdesky said in an interview from Calgary. “People can receive a service anywhere in Canada and it has to be provided,” he added. He was responding after the Opposition NDP highlighted the section of a leaked document — titled “Alberta’s Health Legislation: Moving Forward” — that focused

on the queue jumping. Written in brief bullet points, the document says while the province doesn’t support queue jumping, “queue jumping occurs in many ways.” It adds: “There are gaps in legislation that allow work-arounds.” Zwozdesky said the document — which also discusses expanding the role of privatized medicine under the public-health umbrella — does not reflect government policy intentions, but is simply a compilation of public opinions. “The public indicated they felt some queue jumping was occurring, but not queue jumping in the way it’s being interpreted in the media today,” he said. NDP Leader Brian Mason said Zwozdesky is simply misleading the public. He wondered why Zwozdesky is calling the document public feedback when it outlines changes to

health care, including a health charter for patients, that have since been passed into law. “It’s more spin to avoid accountability for the fact that queue jumping was going on, they all knew about it, and furthermore, they decided not to take action on it,” said Mason. “I don’t believe him and I don’t think Albertans believe him, either.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Barker has his say on Guzoo Former TV host urges investigation into remaining non-exotic species at roadside zoo 60 days to disband controlled species collection begins this weekend CONTRIBUTED

SHELLEY WILLIAMSON

@METRONEWS.CA

Bob Barker is throwing his famous name behind more Alberta animals. The former Price is Right host lauds the province’s move to close the roadside zoo near Three Hills, but said he fears for Guzoo’s animals not covered by the Zoo Act. “Since the zoo permit is limited primarily to exotic species, many of the animals at Guzoo will fall through the legislative cracks and as such may be left at this facility that has proven its inability to provide even the basic needs of animals,” said Barker. Barker has written the Alberta government and urges animal lovers to lobby their MLAs. He said no matter the price, the cause of protect-

Guzoo facts Zoocheck and other groups have offered to pay for the relocation of the exotic and other species to sanctuaries and zoos. They continue to urge charges against Guzoo’s owner. The embattled owner told the media earlier this week his zoo was a “parsonage” and the animals were protected under the status as having found sanctuary.

Parents hope school funding still in the cards Finding ways to raise money is a priority for the Edmonton Catholic School Board, but some parents like the odds of casinos. An online survey from Concerned Parents for Catholic Education recently drew 3,203 responses. “I think the message from the survey is very clear,” said board spokesperson Lori Nagy, adding that casinos will continue until an alternative is found. About 90 per cent said casinos should continue to be used for fundraising, while nearly the same number of respondents doubted the funds can be found another way. About 83 per cent said they would move their child if programs suffered. “I can see why the Catholic community wouldn’t want it, but I can see how schools need it,”

said Tony Manzo, who has a daughter in Grade 6 at Grandin. Manzo would like to see the board drop casino funds, but admitted education taxes would rise or parents would have to pay more for field trips, hot lunches and classes offered at Grandin. The archdiocese drafted a policy last year that Catholic schools can’t use casinos to raise funds. “We are trying to determine long-term sustainable funding that could replace casinos,” Nagy said.

Mistaken identity in latest homicide Killing style ‘not like anything I have ever seen’: Officer Police ask for public and ‘intended’ targets to come forward SHELLEY WILLIAMSON/METRO

SHELLEY WILLIAMSON

@METRONEWS.CA

Whoever pulled the trigger that killed Abdi Ali Mohamud was gunning for someone else, Edmonton police believe. Det. Dan Jones said the EPS homicide unit is treating the 43-year-old’s death on June 3 as a case of mistaken identity, since neither he nor a 25-year-old he was with — who was also wounded in the attack — led high-risk lifestyles. “He was not known to police and we at this point have no reason to believe or we do not know if he was known to his assailants,” Jones said. The shooter in the “organized killing” could still be looking for the intended target, Jones said. “It’s important for us that that person come forward if they do know that they are the target or the initially intended target,” he said. Mahamad Accord, president of Edmonton’s Alberta Somali Community Centre, urged the intended victim to comply with police. “We’re concerned,” he said. “He’s putting not only his life but those of others in the community at risk.” Accord said he hopes the 25-year-old survivor

will also co-operate with EPS. He said he would like to see justice in Mohamud’s senseless death. “Even if it’s my brother, I want this person behind bars,” he said. Mohamud’s death was the city’s 25th homicide this year.

25th homicide This is the third murder of a Somali man this year and the 13th death of one of the community’s own in the last three years in Edmonton.

Police are seeking three suspects and two vehicles in connection with the crime, but have revealed few details so far on what the suspects or vehicles look like.

Wedding plans hitched by postal strike HEATHER MCINTYRE/METRO

Rotating postal strikes continue as Canada Post decreases mail delivery Soon-to-be newlyweds concerned about mailing invites, receiving RSVPs HEATHER MCINTYRE

@METRONEWS.CA

Lyndsey Romaniuk and Jason Sibulak have just over 100 invites for their Sept. 17 wedding.

In a time of online living, wedding invites still tend to come in the mail. But for bride-to-be Lyndsey Romaniuk, the postal strike has made her wary to send. Romaniuk, 24, is set to marry fiancé Jason

Sibulak Sept. 17. “We haven’t actually put any in the mail yet,” she said Thursday. “We heard about the postal strike just before we were starting to get them out.” Romaniuk placed her email and phone number in the RSVP envelope — just in case — and has hand-delivered many to

guests living in Edmonton. But others need to be sent to the U.S., B.C. and Ontario. Staff at Noteables have seen some soon-to-be newlyweds a bit stressed. “We had a few rush in to get them out before the strike started,” said clerk Courtney Gleiberman. “But it hasn’t been too

much of a problem … Most are worried about their RSVPs.” Romaniuk’s plan is to hold off until the end of next week and if nothing has changed, she’ll scan and email invites to most guests and call any others. “(To courier) … it would cost $25 per shipment,” she said. “That’s pretty expensive.”

At 3:45 a.m. Thursday, Jeff Lush awoke to a “horren-

MY MODERN FAMILY COLLEEN *

SPECIAL TO METRO EDMONTON

Sixteen years ago I had to make a difficult decision: was living the life of a lesbian mom the right thing for me and my two children, who were one and four years old at the time, I did a lot of research and discovered that a great percentage of kids raised in gay households described a life that was different from that of their peers. They did not live in a heterosexual world with a male and female heading the family. Their experiences made them stronger individuals as they had to stand up for themselves and their par-

ent(s) more often than the average child. They grew up to be adults who were more open and understanding of people from all walks of life, races and religions. And they felt part of another family — a much larger community family! My daughter says, “Being ‘the girl with two gay moms’ has never defined me as a person. But I can say that growing up in this style of family has made me more tolerant in all areas of my life. It has opened my eyes to the world of hate and has forced me to become a stronger person, able to stand up for what I believe in all difficult situations.”

spect all people; traits that are sometimes hard to find in teenagers and young adults today. In lots of ways, though, a gay household is no different than any other household. Here is what my partner told me. “It’s hard for me to see anything really different between our family and the so called ‘normal’ family. We do the same things —pay our mortgage, go to work, have family suppers, attend our son’s sporting events and deal with the usual family issues.” She is considered a step-mom just like any other step-mom,

and is the second parent in our household. And just like any other family, life isn’t always rosy. Being two lesbians raising children has its hurdles too. You have to choose who you come out to — my partner and I use the need-toknow rule when it comes to sharing. We have been lucky. We have never experienced slander or malicious behaviour. It is comforting that we live in a world so different from 20 years ago! Same sex benefits, queer proms, zero tolerance for gay bashing, openly out police officers and marriage make it clear that in this country, we believe that all people deserve the same rights and benefits in every day living. * COLLEEN ASKED THAT HER LAST NAME NOT BE USED.

AG blasts Tories over G8 secrecy ADRIAN WYLD/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Auditors couldn’t find documents about how projects were chosen for funding Public servants had no input THE CANADIAN PRESS

The wording has been softened but the auditor general’s verdict remains much the same: The Harper government kept Parliament in the dark about a $50-million G8 fund that sprayed money on dubious projects in a cabinet minister’s riding. The final report on the G8 legacy infrastructure fund concludes that the government “did not clearly or transparently” identify how the money was going to be spent when it sought parliamentary approval for the funding. Moreover, the report criticizes the unprecedented lack of documentation to explain how and why 32 infrastructure projects in Ontario’s Parry Sound-Muskoka region

“It is very unusual and troubling. There is no paper trail behind the selection of the 32 projects.” INTERIM AUDITOR GENERAL JOHN WIERSEMA

were selected to get the government largesse. In a separate chapter of the report, the auditor general says spending on operations and security for both

the G8 and G20 meetings in Ontario was presented piecemeal to Parliament instead of in a package, leaving MPs poorly informed about total costs. But in one bright spot, the report says it seems the initially budgeted $1.1 billion for the summits will actually come in around $664 million because poor planning forced departments to create contingency funds that were not needed. The final report does not contain the inflammatory language used in a January draft by former auditor general Sheila Fraser, which baldly asserted the government had “misinformed” Parliament. The report details how, in November 2009, the government tabled supplemen-

tary estimates in which it asked Parliament to approve $83 million for a border infrastructure fund aimed at reducing congestion at border crossings. Parliament was not told that $50 million of that money was to be devoted to

infrastructure projects hundreds of kilometres from the Canada-U.S. border — in Tory MP Tony Clement’s riding. Wiersema said the word “misinformed” was excised in the report’s final version because auditors saw no ev-

idence to suggest the government was deliberately trying to mislead Parliament. Rather, he said, the misrepresentation in the estimates appeared to have been done “for matters of expediency.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

MacKay reveals Libya price tag so far: $26M Extending Canada’s military mission in Libya could come with a $60million price tag. Defence Minister Peter MacKay has revealed the cost of Canada’s participation in the NATO-led offensive to topple Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. The mission cost Canadians about $26 million to June 2, MacKay said Thursday at a NATO meeting in Brussels. The De-

fence Department in Ottawa had rebuffed previous requests to make public the incremental cost of the mission. The Canadian Forces are contributing 650 personnel along with fighter jets, the warship HMCS Charlottetown and surveillance planes to the UN-approved mission to protect civilians from the Gadhafi regime. The government will

introduce a motion in Parliament next week to extend the mission another three-and-a-half months — to the end of September 2011 — which will more than double the current cost. “Simply put, Canada’s leadership in this mission has protected civilians and saved thousands of civilians in Libya.” MacKay said in a statement. In recent days, opposi-

tion MPs have raised questions about the mission, including whether socalled “mission creep” was setting in. The Harper government has so far ruled out the use of ground troops. MacKay said Canada’s decision to extend the mission is in line with the recent 90-day extension by the NATO alliance. So far, the NATO bombardment has failed to un-

seat Gadhafi, whose forces have fought back in recent days with a counteroffensive on the western city of Misrata. Gadhafi’s forces launched an attack on Misrata on Wednesday, killing at least 10 rebels. The NATO bombardment continued Thursday with another round of air attacks on the outskirts of the capital, Tripoli. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Flight missions Canada’s CF-18 fighter jets have flown more than 1,750 hours while completing more than 360 attack missions, Minister of Defence Peter MacKay said. Maritime patrol aircraft have flown more than 530 hours on 65 missions, MacKay said.

Homeless man loses his battle against cancer Brother was at his side after 33 years apart Terry Pettigrew lived at Calgary’s Drop-In Centre for four years A homeless Calgary man who became a minor celebrity when he asked to go to Mardi Gras after being diagnosed with cancer has died. Terry Pettigrew became too sick and never actually went on the trip, despite having someone offer to

pay for his fare. The media attention, however, led to a reunion with his long-lost brother. In the weeks leading up to his death, the pain resulted in Pettigrew being unable to walk and he was moved to a hospice on May 13. “It was a sad day. I was

HOW TERRY CHANGED ME KATIE TURNER

There are certain instances in life where something clicks inside you and you know your life has changed. Terry Pettigrew was in his bunk bed when I went up to meet him. “Tell her if she wants to talk to me she’s going to have to come closer,” Pettigrew told a worker. “I don’t bite.” From there on out, my interactions with him were full of humour, honesty and an unparalleled sense of kindness.

He often said that he was just a grumpy old pervert, but the truth is, he would willingly give you the shirt off his back. He mentioned several times that his goal was to leave a positive stamp on the earth. Mission accomplished, Terry.

Family with autistic boy won’t be deported: Source Immigration Minister Jason Kenney will rescind a deportation order for a South Korean family at the centre of a growing public protest in New Brunswick now that the province has confirmed it will cover health costs associated with the family’s autistic son, a federal source confirmed Thursday. The Maeng family’s story attracted national attention after federal officials said the family had to

leave Canada by June 30 because providing health care and social services for 14-year-old Sung-Joo would put too much strain on the system. On Wednesday, the New Brunswick government responded to growing public outrage by handing a private letter to the Moncton family confirming the province will cover the costs. Sung-Joo’s mother, HeeEun Jang, said she was elat-

ed with the decision. “I feel good, awesome, very good,” she said in an interview from the family’s grocery store. She said the support the family received from across Canada was “unbelievable.” An online petition supporting the family’s wish to stay in Canada had attracted 7,000 signatures, and a protest rally was scheduled for Sunday in Moncton.

Microsoft to pay millions to T.O. firm Seattle company now sells versions of Word without disputed technology Landmark case in patent law Canadian software company i4i Inc. has emerged the victor in a patent battle with tech super-heavyweight Microsoft after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a judgment that i4i be paid $290 million US for patent infringement. The high court on Thursday refused to throw out an earlier ruling that found the world’s largest software maker wilfully infringed on a patent in its Microsoft Word software and ordered it to pay $290 million to i4i and to stop selling versions containing the infringing technology. The landmark decision has broad implications for the patent world as it es-

the U.S. Supreme Court has decided in decades,” said i4i chairman Louden Owen. “Microsoft’s appeal and, along with their gang of supporters who decided they would file on their behalf, were taking great strides to try to throw a lot of uncertainty into the system,” he said from Toronto. Microsoft wanted the judgment against it erased because it claimed a judge used the wrong standard in instructing the jury that came up with the award. Several companies supported Microsoft in its battle against i4i, including Apple, Google and Cisco Systems. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Patent battles Toronto-based i4i sued Microsoft in 2007, saying it owned the technology behind a tool used in Microsoft Word.

TV networks boosting online commercials One of the rewards of watching TV online is not having to sit through as many commercials. Now the networks are chipping away at that little luxury. CBS shows twice as many ads per show on its website as it did last year. The CW network shows four times as many. Dozens of shows from major cable networks now carry as many ads online as they do on TV. More

shows will follow soon. The online audience is still small compared with television, but it’s growing. Online video has improved in recent years with faster Internet connections and better technology. The advances have led some people to give up on regular TV — and hefty cable bills that come with it — and watch only online. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth mentioning NEW YORK. After pressure

from four U.S. senators, Apple Inc. has said it will start rejecting iPhone applications that tip drivers off about police checkpoints for drunken driving. Apple updated its app developer guidelines Wednesday to exclude such apps. On Thursday, some DUI apps were still available in the App Store, but Apple usually gives developers a chance to update their apps so they can conform to the new guidelines before booting them. The apps often combine warnings about DUI checkpoints with warnings about speed traps and red-light cameras. Users of the applications help create the warnings by registering the locations. An Apple spokesman had no comment on the change in the guidelines and wouldn’t say why the change was made. The four senators asked Apple, Research In Motion Ltd., the maker of the BlackBerry, and Google Inc. to remove DUI-avoidance apps in March. RIM complied, but Google refused.

WEIRD NEWS

The true definition of an inside job A man was arrested in Spain after allegedly curling himself up inside a large suitcase that was placed in an airport bus cargo bay and sneaking out to steal from other people’s luggage, police said Thursday. The man arrested last week was five feet 10 and very thin, a police official in the northeastern Catalonia region said. An accomplice was also arrested.

The accomplice would place the contortionist inside the cargo bay of a bus running from the airport in the city of Girona south to Barcelona, board the bus and then retrieve him at the end of the line, police said. During the 100-kilometre ride, the man would allegedly slip out of the suitcase and use a sharp object to pick locks or open zippers to get into other people’s luggage, police said. He’s accused of stealing objects including cellphones, laptops and GPS devices and placing them in a smaller bag he brought with him. Police said he would then get back into the larger suitcase and when the bus reached its destination, the accomplice would retrieve both pieces of luggage. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reel Guys

RICHARD CROUSE & MARK BRESLIN SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Super 8 is super great Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin agree there’s a lot to like about Super 8 Director J.J. Abrams draws out the suspense, with Spielbergian flourishes Richard Crouse: Mark, J.J. Abrams directs Super 8 the way he produced the TV show Lost. He draws out the suspense, doling out just enough detail, shocks and surprises to keep the story interesting and moving forward. He knows that the strength of the movie isn’t the special effects or the whatever-it-is that is causing all the trouble, but the relationship between the kids. Call it Stand By Me with a giant bug... or a monster... or something. I’m not saying what! Mark Breslin: All true, but you can feel Steven Spielberg’s hand guiding the movie all the way along.

The suburban flyover state setting, the gentle outsider child protagonists, the deceased parent, the bicycles, the alien who just wants to go home, all Spielberg motifs. And setting it in the early ’80s, when Spielberg had his big sci-fi hits, surely was no coincidence. RC: Perhaps so, but despite the Spielbergian flourishes, this still very much feels like an Abrams creation to me. His fingerprints are all over the action sequences — particularly the out-of-control train wreck scene — and even the sweetness we’ve come to associate with Spielberg has been dialled

back. It’s still there — very much so in the film’s last 10 minutes — but Abrams manages to set the tone as though he is paying homage to the saccharine tendencies of his mentor than actually aping him.

filmmaking, which played such an important part in the beginning of the movie, is dropped midway through the flick. The scenes of those kids making movies were dripping with charm.

MB: That train wreck scene had me on the edge of my seat! But the rest of the picture did not exactly exude menace. It’s more of a character piece about the young teens, and I thought the kids were great, certainly more interesting than the adults (which may be one of the points of the movie). I liked the picture, and my only real quibble was that the kids’

RC: I thought so too. Those scenes had a sense of fun to them and established the personalities of all the main kid characters. I think I liked this one more than you. I thought Super 8 was super great.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MB: Well, the middle was a bit soft and I’m always skeptical about courageous 14-year-olds. Still, there’s a lot to like in this one.

Up close and personal with Mr. Popper’s Penguins James Tupper stars alongside aquatic actors in movie version of children’s book But was more intimidated by Jim Carrey — at first RICHARD CROUSE

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

James Tupper, the Nova Scotia-born star of Mr. Popper’s Penguins, calls his costars “ornery.” No, he’s not talking about Jim Carrey or Angela Lansbury. He’s referring to the movie’s aquatic, flightless actors. “They kind of look like toddlers wearing a tuxedo with their chests sticking out in this really open, sweet way,” he says. “But when you get close to them they will give you a nip.” To accommodate the birds, the film’s set was kept below zero. “You could see your breath all

“

day long,” says Tupper. As for working with the penguins, he says they’re not great actors, but performing opposite the Antarctic imports was less strange than acting without them. Computer-generated penguins were used for several scenes, which meant Tupper would have to emote to a mark on the wall. “There would just be a dot on the wall and they would put the penguin in later. Sometimes the director would be back there saying, ‘Oh! Oh! I’m going to bite you!’ and act stuff out for you to react to but we all got this weird ‘act-

ing to the dot’ effect.” Tupper, best known for his work on television shows like Men In Trees (where he co-starred with his fiancée Anne Heche) and Grey’s Anatomy, says the penguins weren’t the set’s most intimidating presence. At first anyway. “It was a little bit intimidating when I first met him,” he says of Jim Carrey. “He slapped me on the back and was like, ‘Jim or James?’ I said, ‘You know what. I think you’ve probably got Jim covered. I’m going to stick with James.’” That intimidation soon gave way to a lively collaboration. “He’s really fun. It’s a

playful set. He improvises a lot and generally has the crew chuckling most of the day.” James, however, wasn’t the only member of his family impressed with Carrey. His nine-year-old son is also a fan. “When we read the book Mr. Popper’s Penguins to him in bed, he got so excited when he found out Jim Carrey was in it. He said, ‘Can you please get Jim Carrey to sign it?’ So I did. I took it to New York and he signed it and I brought it back and I said, ‘Would you like me to sign it too?’ No! Why! I said, ‘Cut me a break. I’m in the movie.’”

Ang Lee was clearly a proud dad speaking to reporters after catching a showing with his younger brother and mother earlier this week in Taiwan, his home country.

Susie Moloney experienced the thrill of fright at a very young age. “My mother was a huge horror fan,” explains the Winnipeg author, whose latest horror-tinged novel, The Thirteen, hit stores this week. “She would get scared watching scary movies late at night and she’d come wake us up to keep her company.” Moloney and her brother obliged. And although the author claims, with a laugh, to have slept with her head under the covers ever since, terror clearly titillates her. “It’s like anything else that gets the adrenalin going, you know? It’s like falling in love, it’s like having a damn fine laugh.” All of Moloney’s books have delved into otherworldliness, from her chilling 1995 debut Bastion Falls (about an ominously relentless snowstorm), to 1997’s supernatural drought story A Dry Spell and 2003’s haunted house tale The Dwelling. The Thirteen marks her first foray into the world of witches, a topic

Strange sisters

Moloney says she was drawn to after a stint when she was surrounded by women. “I went through a long period of time in my life where my world became very feminine,” says the author. “The important people in my life were my girlfriends, my sister, my neighbours — all of whom were women — and I found such solace and power and love and warmth and acceptance from my girlfriends.” The witches in the book — mothers and homemakers — are afforded great domestic comfort in exchange for membership to their witchy sisterhood. “I ... liked the idea of being a witch,” explains Moloney, who has two sons. “You have this image when you go into suburban living ... you imagine that your children are going to be perfect, brilliant, successful, talented, your house is going to be spotless and gorgeous...the reality sinks in that you cannot do this without witchcraft!” THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Thirteen tells the story of Paula Wittmore, a down-on-her-luck waitress who returns to her hometown with her daughter. There, she visits her ailing mother, reconnects with her former best friend and encounters a strange group of women oddly anxious for her to join their circle.

Keren Ann’s sixth album is a perfect primer to what the versatile singer/songwriter is all about. The words are packed with tenderness, wit and a sinister sense of humour. The songs are coated in lush arrangements that range from cinematic ballads (You Were on Fire) to sexy disco (My Name is Trouble). Born Keren Ann Zeidel, she has roots in Paris, New York City and Israel. Though this all feels like an introduction course on an artist who is hard to pin down, it is not why she titled her most recent album 101. “Basically, I love this number,” she says. “Aesthetically, it speaks to me. It has a very beautiful physical form. It’s also the value

of my initials, like how Hebrew letters have a value.” Zeidel also cites 101 as the number to call an ambulance in Israel, something she did a number of times while working on these songs, as her father took ill during this time. The title track of the album is a countdown from 101 to one about that experience. “Most of the images that came to me were basically in the last hours to my father’s death,” she says. “He died in my arms, but it’s not an album of grief, it’s an album of love. I think the closer we got to his death, the closer we got to God.”

THE FORMAT WARS SOUND CHECK ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA

All throughout history, an established technology never had a chance if something more convenient came along. Just look at what we’ve seen with music over the last 140 years or so. Cylinders vs. Rotating Discs

Thomas Edison’s phonograph with its rotating wax or metal cylinders established that sound could be captured. But then Emile Berliner showed that rotating flat discs played on his gramophone were far superior. Why? Better sound and because discs had a B-side — twice as much music for the same price.

Edison had no choice but to move from cylinder to disc. Phonographs vs. Gramophones

The phonograph tracked grooves in the record by going up and down. The gramophone’s needle went from side-to-side. This meant that phonograph records couldn’t be played on gramophones and vice-versa, forcing consumers to take sides. While it’s true that Edison’s machine delivered slightly better sound, the up-and-down motion of the steel needle wore out the record more quickly. Undeterred by this minor issue, Edison stuck to his guns and refused to make any changes to his machine. Ultimately, though, the gramophone won out and Edison stopped making phonographs and records entirely by about 1930. 78s vs. LPs

By the 1930s, the standard rotation rate for discs was 78 RPM, which meant that each record could store on-

ly about four minutes per side. Columbia Records changed that in 1948 with the introduction of the vinyl 33 1⁄3 RPM LP (LongPlaying), a format that could store up to 22 minutes per side. From that moment, the 78 was doomed. LPs vs. 45s

Although Columbia offered to license their new technology to rival RCA, they would have none of it. Instead, they countered with the vinyl 45 RPM 7inch single in 1949. RCA contended that four or five minutes of music per side was all consumers really wanted. But if they did want more, they could simply stack 45s for continuous play on the large spindle of the brand new automatic RCA-manufactured record changer.

Back in 1996, Tom Wilson recorded what he figured was a one-off project with Colin Linden and Stephen Fearing under the band name Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. Wilson didn’t think about it much. The group had been assembled to pay tribute to the late Canadian folk troubadour Willie P. Bennett, so it was a lark, a fun diversion. Wilson didn’t even wait until the album was finished to leave and embark on his next project. “We thought we were recording a record and that was it,” Wilson said in a recent interview at a stylish Italian restaurant in Toronto. “I said, ‘It was great to

Well, Wilson was so enthusiastic about her performance he could only sum it up with an unprintable obscenity. Mostly, though, the band raved about how their own vocals improved because of the presence of their 14 guests. “We sang better,” Wilson said. “The same way that we’re better men — better people — for the women that have surrounded our lives either on a long-term basis or a short-term basis, the same thing happened musically. “We’re better singers, better people.”

Arnold willing to beg to get Shriver back Schwarzenegger telling friends he’ll do anything to get Maria back ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

Despite the shocking disclosure that he fathered a child with their housekeeper and kept it secret for 13 years, Arnold Schwarzenegger is reportedly still hoping he and Maria Shriver can patch things up and avoid divorce, according to Popeater. “He knows he has made terrible mistakes in his past but isn’t prepared to lose the greatest woman in his life,” a source close to the former California governor says. “This has nothing to do with money or the children. He misses her terribly and will do whatever it takes to win her back. Even begging.” Schwarzenegger and Shriver have even reportedly been in regular contact since the separation, and the source adds that Schwarzenegger is hoping Shriver will realize that “despite all the affairs, what they had was real.”

Baldwin could run for mayor of New York BLAME THE WEINER PICS.

Speculation is running rampant that Alec Baldwin may run for Mayor of New York — and the 30 Rock star isn’t helping. “It’s a long way till November of 2013,” Baldwin posted to Twitter this week, and his rep told the Hollywood Reporter, “I wouldn’t rule it out,” when asked about a possible run for public office. A source close to Baldwin says the actor has been thinking more seriously about running since the lewd photo scandal involving Rep. Anthony Weiner broke. “Alec said, ‘Hey, maybe this changes the race. The dynamics have shifted,’” the friend tells the Daily. “The Democrats need a high-profile candidate, and Alec can fill that bill.” METRO

While George Clooney may have made it pretty clear he’s happy to avoid getting married ever again, his girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, is singing a different tune. “I am a firm believer in marriage, in the

TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY

How many wines are there in the world? The funny thing is, I don’t know. If you take a stab at counting grape varieties and multiply by worldwide wineries and all their individual brands and available vintages, you’re easily talking millions. That’s why when you write about wine, it’s easy to get caught up in the new and forget established juice. I thought about that when I recently tried the stalwart Wolf Blass Eagle Hawk Shiraz ($13.00 - $13.99). I was at a local resto with a limited wine list and took the waiter’s suggestion of the 2009 vintage. I do love how my preconceived notions of a wine can get the better of me and really got into how its dryblackberry-meetssweet-blueberry fruit and trail of inky, black licorice spice tasted so ...hip. It’s a perfect back deck red that would match with a nice piece of grilled beef as well as it would barbecued hamburgers. PRICES

Dallas’s Dirk Nowitzki passes through Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem of the Heat in Game 4.

Mavericks a win away after closing out the Heat late in Game 5

“You know, if somebody would have told me at the beginning of the year that we could play for the Stanley Cup, best two-out-ofthree series with home-ice advantage in front of our fans, I would have taken that anytime to play for the big prize” CANUCKS COACH ALAIN VIGNEAULT ON BEING TIED 2-2 WITH THE BOSTON BRUINS IN THE STANLEY CUP FINAL. GAME 5 IS FRIDAY

MIKE EHRMANN/GETTY IMAGES

Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks finally have the lead in this ultra-close NBA final, and now it really is “now or never” for LeBron James and the Miami Heat. Nowitzki scored 29 points and the go-ahead dunk with 2:45 remaining as the Mavericks beat the Heat 112-103 on Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA final. James, who called this game “now or never,” responded from his worst playoff performance with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and Dwyane Wade battled through a sore left hip to finish with 23 points. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

James finds daylight in CFL Former Florida Gators star, and Indianapolis Colts cast-off, turns heads at Eskimos camp Edmonton Eskimos kick returner Brandon James is making the most of his second chance at the pro game, but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten that for fringe players in the NFL, one dropped ball can mean a lost career. “Everything else is history now. I’m up here, I’m happy to be here, and I’m just ready to keep working,” James said after Eskimos practice Thursday. The five-foot-seven, 185 pounder is currently adjust-

ing to the wide field and multiple motion rules of the Canadian game. “I feel it’s going to be big whether it’s returning (kicks) or on offence, where I can beat a guy and just have more field, more end zone to work with,” he said. He was brought in to fight for the job after last year’s return man, Tristan Jackson, was traded to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. On receiving routes, he’s finding holes and catching balls.

“I’m very optimistic that he’s going to respond well, but I’m not going to anoint him just yet.” ESKIMOS COACH KAVIS REED ON EXPANDING BRANDON JAMES’ ROLE

Head coach Kavis Reed says James is making them wonder if his role should be expanded beyond kick returns. “That discussion has come up because he has done quite well in the slot,” said Reed. But he said coaches want to see some game action first.

James, 23, born in St. Augustine, Fla., was a high school star and in 2006 travelled inland to Gainesville and joined the University of Florida Gators, home to head coach Urban Meyer and celebrated quarterback Tim Tebow. “That kid was not intimidated, so I grabbed him and told him he would be the

punt returner,” Meyer said at the time. James proved to be one of the best in the nation. He was a north-south runner with legs like thunderbolts. “Any chance he touches the ball, he has a chance to go to the house,” Tebow added. He signed with the Indianapolis Colts in April 2010, but the undersized James didn’t stick and was cut last fall. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Pryor shoots down Riders

Scan code for more sports.

Terrelle Pryor isn’t interested in playing in the CFL. He’s also not interested in speaking to the NCAA. The former Ohio State quarterback announced he would not return to Ohio State for his senior season in the wake of an NCAA suspension and ongoing investigation involving im-

proper benefits. The Saskatchewan Roughriders had extended him a tentative offer. “They sent the package last night, I forwarded it to Terrelle and Terrelle said that he wasn’t interested today,” Pryor’s attorney, Larry James, said Thursday. James also said that Pry-

or will no longer co-operate with NCAA investigators. Asked if Pryor gave him a reason for his lack of interest in the Roughriders, James said, “He just said he’s not interested in the Canadian Football League. Obviously the offer was not sufficient to whet his taste buds.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Leafs bring back Reimer The Toronto Maple Leafs are ready to run with James Reimer. The 23-year-old goaltender capped off a dream season by signing a $5.4-million US, threeyear contract extension

Reimer led the team on a surprising second half turnaround after getting called up from the AHL. “He earned the opportunity to play at the NHL level this past season and he made the most of it with his outstanding play,” Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke said in a statement.
