CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada is leaving some Flames fans feeling burned after the release of its broadcast schedule for the upcoming hockey season. This season, the broadcast company will only show 12 of the Calgary Flames’ 82 games. This is the lowest number of games of any Canadian team. “I think that all Canadian teams should have an equal and fair number of games on television,” said Flames fan Leslie Scott. Scott spends the hockey season in Victoria as a university student, and said that HNIC was her only way to watch Flames games. Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary will have a total of 42 games broadcast by HNIC, whereas Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Win-
nipeg have 96 broadcasted games in the schedule. “Occasionally, you do hear people say that the CBC is always catering to the East’s games,” said Kevin Warner, manager of the Unicorn pub. According to the CBC, scheduling is to blame. “CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada is broadcasting all games involving Canadian teams on Saturday nights during the regular season,” CBC told Metro in a statement. “This year the Flames and Oilers are playing more non-Saturday dates.” Rogers Sportsnet West and TSN do carry the bulk of the NHL club’s weekday games, but don’t broadcast the games on weekends. The Edmonton Oilers also have a low number of games being broadcast this year: 13.
Reader tweets Metro asked readers how they feel about having only 12 games televised on the national broadcaster while other markets will have as many as 28. @fluffylambs I don't think the avg fan could care less as long as the games are televised by someone. Don’t like the 8pm start anyway. @NealSorochan That’s what happens when you are boring to watch. @LyleHatton I’m not too pleased or surprised that the eastern teams get 2x the #HNIC exposure. @JohannesLanger Depends on how many games the Oilers get.

Crack-pipe program snuffed out Group had been issuing kits to addicts in bid to promote safety Decision comes after scrutiny in media, inquiry by police JEREMY NOLAIS

Billowing legal questions have led Alberta’s governing health body to order a local harm-reduction group to discontinue handing out crack pipes. Safeworks has been distributing drug paraphernalia since 2008, but a recent surge in media coverage, as Vancouver announced plans to adopt a similar program, has seemingly led Alberta Health Services to re-evaluate the practice.
“Although the initiative was focused on health objectives, there is reasonable potential for a legal challenge with respect to distribution,” reads an AHS memo obtained by Metro. Ken, who asked that his last name not be printed, knows the dangers of smoking crack all too well. He managed to wean himself off the drug about a year ago without the help of Safeworks but said the crack-pipe program is helpful to many. “It helps keep people safe,” he said. “(Crack) ru-

New photos and video believed to be connected to a June assault on a Calgary Transit bus driver, are being made available as police continue to piece together clues. According to police, at approximately 11:50 p.m. on June 3, a man boarded the bus at the Heritage Drive LRT station and started singing loudly, using offensive language and drinking from a bottle of liquor. Police say as the man was getting off the bus, he punched the driver in the face. METRO
Budget too tight for evaluation: Police chief Calgary Police Chief Rick Hanson said that budget and resource constraints are the reasons a psychiatric and psychological evaluation could not be completed on accused sexual predator Erik Wanamaker. “I think that there’s a real need to make sure that all parts of the justice system are stacked up,” said Hanson.

Story of blind date shooting a lie: Police
COURTESY OF CALGARY POLICE
Calgary police say the story behind a shooting believed to have occurred during a meeting with a woman met online is false. At approximately 3 p.m., on Tuesday, Aug. 9, police were called to a northeast hospital after a 33-year-old man showed up with a gunshot wound to his stomach. He was immediately transported to hospital for further treatment. Police say the victim went to a parking lot near Barlow Trail and 32 Ave. N.E. for what’s now believed to be a drug deal. The victim parked his car in the lot, got in a vehicle and was confronted by a suspect in the back. During the altercation, the victim was shot.
MLA fears police station closures Concerns community police stations could be lost during an ongoing budget audit have caught the attention of at least one Calgary MLA, who plans to make his views heard by city officials.

According to police, the shooter then left the scene. They provided a composite drawing of the suspect.

METRO munity is much closer when you have them in the community like that and the volunteers we have there are incredible,� Hinman told Metro Thursday. There are currently six community stations in the city. Calgary police Chief Rick Hanson said he would not sacrifice frontline officers. He said the city officials have asked that $5 million be cut directly from the police budget and another $5 million be forked out to cover inflation increases. “We have to look at everything,� Hanson said. “It’s a significant hit to the budget — $10 million is a lot of money.� JEREMY NOLAIS

Food drive is not just fun and games Members of the YMCA Kids in Motion program kept Calgary’s Food Bank full on Thursday with the 9,400 pounds of food they collected on their food drive. Kids in Motion gives children aged nine to 12 the chance to volunteer in the community in exchange for free recreational activities such as trips to the zoo. “The kids get a lot out of it,” Kids in Motion director Heather Godfrey said. “They really just get that sense of helping others and giving back to their community.” The kids went to homes in their communities and collected food this week.
Rick Rypien coming home to Crowsnest Pass A large crowd is expected in the picturesque Crowsnest Pass area of southern Alberta to remember NHL player Rick Rypien. The body of the Winnipeg Jets forward was found in his home this week. Rypien, 27, struggled with depression in recent years. He had signed with the Jets this off-season after six seasons with the Vancouver Canucks. A media report said the funeral service is planned for Saturday at an arena in Blairmore, Alta. Rypien grew up in the Crowsnest Pass and called the area home. THE CANADIAN PRESS
This is the 12th 12 year Kids in Motion has held a drive for the Calgary Food Bank. On Thursday, they unloaded vehicles that were filled with the donations and weighed them. “It’s better than staying home and being bored,” said Kids in Motion member Nigmat Maxutov, 11. “It makes me feel good because we’re helping people that are poor.” This year’s goal for Kids in Motion was 13,000 pounds of food. Donations are still being collected at YMCAs citywide until the end of the week. YASMIN JASWAL

FOOD TRUCKS MAY JUST CHANGE WHO WE ARE AND THE WAY WE EAT IN DEFENCE OF ... MIKE MORRISON METRO CALGARY
Calgary has never really been known for its food. (I, too, was shocked when it came to light that Nick’s Steakhouse & Pizza was not internationally renowned.) In reality, our palates seemed simple and were satisfied with beef, minidonuts and Grasshopper beer. Retrospectively, I think it’s the way Peter Lougheed would have wanted it. But with the recent launch of a handful of new food trucks, these meals on wheels seem to be intent on changing everything we’ve ever known about Calgary, starting with our waistlines. Truthfully, the idea of a
“I’m still not done eating my way through all the regular new restaurants that have opened up in the past couple of years. When did this city become overrun with foodies and their delectable dishes? The promise of deep-frying anything and putting it on a stick was one of the reasons I decided to move here in the first place.” restaurant parking outside my house is both exhilarating and utterly terrifying. I mean, on any given day, I can look outside and possibly see a perogy truck or someone handing out gelato. No longer will I struggle to find somewhere to park on a crowded street or needlessly tip a former hockey player who, as it turns out, isn’t that good a server either. While I appreciate the idea of having about a half a dozen new restaurants to choose from, I’m still not done eating my way through all the regular new restaurants that have opened up in the past couple of years. When did this city become overrun with food-
ies and their delectable dishes? The promise of deep-frying anything and putting it on a stick was one of the reasons I decided to move here in the first place. It’s hard to believe, but I’ve already noticed that the plentitude of food options have actually changed who I am as a person. In this very paper, I’ve written countless columns about the pangs of stress created by constantly having to wait for the C-Train. However, just last week, I consciously and happily waited in line for an hour to eat three tacos that cost me $8. It’s like I don’t even know who I am anymore. In all honesty, I’m wor-
ried that by changing our eating habits, other things that make us distinctly Calgarian will start to change as well. One too many alley burgers and, before you know it, we’ll be playing hacky sack in Sandy Beach like the beach bums of Vancouver, or sitting around smoking and judging people’s accents, like they do in Montreal. In university, I was lucky enough to avoid the dreaded freshman 15. Happily, as long as there are food trucks, I’ll easily make up for lost time.

Funding ready for abused-kids centre New facility will be one-stop centre for child-abuse victims Merging support services key for increased communication in child-abuse cases, police chief says YASMIN JASWAL

The Calgary Police Service will receive a grant from the provincial government of $1.4 million over the next three years to develop a facility for victims of child abuse. The new child-focused centre will combine a team of law enforcement, health services and Child and Family Services professionals to offer support for victims and their families. Alberta Minister of Children and Youth Services Yvonne Fritz made the an-
nouncement Thursday morning. “This is so needed,” said Fritz. “This centre will increase the successful investigation and prosecution of perpetrators who abuse our children.” Funding for the project comes from the provincial Safe Communities Innovation Fund. Police Chief Rick Hanson said that any amount of child victimization is too much and that the best approach to take with child abuse is to work together with the family. “This is about providing adequate services to kids
and families in their times of greatest need,” said Hanson. “But it’s also a program that’s geared to providing ongoing services to families who are also victimized when there’s a child victim of any kind at all.” The location of the new centre has not yet been decided, but police say they are looking into different possible areas in the city. A similar facility will be established within the next six weeks in Edmonton, where approximately 400 cases of child abuse are seen every year, said Fritz.
Yvonne Fritz and police Chief Rick Hanson announce the opening of a new facility that will help victims of child abuse.
Combined effort The Calgary Police Service has started integrating Child and Family Services with child-abuse investigators.
Calgary police hope they will have found a place to build the new facility by the end of this year. So far, 17 members of Calgary police will be working out of the new
facility once it is built. There are currently four different support services that will work together in the new centre, but police are in talks with other partners.

No hiding place for 32 Ottawa adds convicted immigrants and refugees to online wanted list Toews: ‘Those who believe they are above the law will find no leniency’ AARON VINCENT ELKAIM/THE CANADIAN PRESS
The federal government is expanding its online wanted list to include immigrants and refugees who have been convicted of serious crimes in Canada and are facing deportation. The Canada Border Services Agency is adding 32 people to a new section of the “Wanted by the CBSA” page on its website, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said Thursday. The 30 men and two women on the list came to Canada through the immigration and refugee system and have permanent resident status. Toews said they have been convicted on charges with the legal designation of “serious criminality” — crimes with a sentence of more than six months, which were committed here.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews says convicted 32 “have no right to remain here.”
All are wanted on Canada-wide removal warrants, while many on the list could not be found after they finished serving time
in custody. “They have been punished and they have no right to remain here,” Toews told reporters in Toronto.
People on the list come from all over the world, including Latin America, Africa, China and Europe. THE CANADIAN PRESS

“There’s way too much traffic in Beijing for car racing,” complains Zhang Kuan, while parking his plateless, neon-green Lamborghini Murciélago in front of the Workers Stadium in the city’s swanky upscale district of Sanlitun. Zhang, 30, has changed his car 28 times since he’s been old enough to drive. “My girlfriend drives a matte Bentley, and the couple we hang out with have a Ferrari California.

Top nations tell Assad: Go 30 U.S. President Barack Obama and the leaders of Canada, Britain, France, Germany and the European Union sent this message to Syrian President Bashar Assad on Thursday: Resign — you’re not fit to lead. “The Assad regime has lost all legitimacy,” said Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Assad “is imprisoning, torturing and slaughtering his own people,” Obama said. The dramatic messages from Ottawa, Washington, London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels were accompanied by a UN demand that the International Criminal Court probe Assad’s brutal suppression of his people.

Savagery out of Sinai as gun gangs attack Buses, cars and an army patrol hit as fighters target southern Israel Israeli aircraft bomb Gaza in retaliation Airstrike kills a child It was one of the boldest attacks on Israel in years. Squads of gunmen armed with heavy weapons and explosives crossed into southern Israel on Thursday and attacked buses, cars and an army patrol. Israel said the Palestinian assailants from Gaza killed eight people after crossing through Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Exchanges of gunfire across the Israel-Egypt border continued late into the evening. But it wasn’t clear whether assailants were still at large within Israeli territory, Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai said.
GETTY IMAGES
“The incident underscores the weak Egyptian hold on Sinai and the broadening of the activities of terrorists.” EHUD BARAK, ISRAELI DEFENCE MINISTER
The attacks stoked concerns that Palestinian militants might be exploiting instability in Egypt. Security in the Sinai desert, dominated by Bedouin tribes, has deteriorated sharply since February when longtime leader Hosni Mubarak was ousted in a popular uprising.
Many Israelis saw Mubarak as a source of stability. Within hours of the attacks, Israeli aircraft bombed southern Gaza in retaliation — and Gaza medical official Adham Salmia said five militants and one child were killed in a strike on a private home.
Cha-Ching. Earn more cash back than ever before.
The attacks on Israelis began at midday and appeared co-ordinated. Israeli security forces tracked down some of the assailants and killed seven in a gun battle, military spokesperson Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich said. Defence officials said three of the bodies were booby-trapped. In November, Israel began erecting a fence along the border with Egypt, in part to keep out Islamic militants in Sinai. The fence, which is to take up to two years to build, will cover at least 140 kilometres of the 250kilometre boundary.
Ambushed bus stained with blood It was shortly after noon in southern Israel and a civilian bus was heading toward the Red Sea resort city of Eilat. Suddenly, it was ambushed by gunmen armed with automatic weapons, grenades and suicide bomb belts. “We heard a shot and saw a window explode,” said passenger Idan Kaner. Then came another shot. “There was chaos in the bus …everyone jumped on everyone else,” Kaner said. TV video showed the bus with its windows shattered. Its seats were stained with blood. Luggage littered the aisle. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. nab alleged pirate negotiator Authorities estimate pirates received $100 million in ransom payments Accused faces new charges A man accused of negotiating on behalf of Somali pirates in the deadly hijacking of an American yacht has been indicted on charges he negotiated the ransom for the release of a German tanker and its 22 crew members, the government said Thursday. The accused, Mohammad Saali Shibin, is the biggest catch in the U.S. prosecution of pirates plaguing shipping lanes off the coast of Africa, U.S. Attorney Neil H. MacBride
said. “Mr. Shibin is thought by the United Nations to be one of just a handful of senior pirate negotiators who operate from within Somalia.” The indictment alleges Shibin received $30,000 to $50,000 for securing a ransom for the Marida Marguerite estimated in the millions. Pirates hijacked the Marida Marguerite off the coast of Africa in May 2010. The ship and its multinational crew were held for

Germany on hunt for vandals Nine cars were torched in Berlin on Thursday in the third consecutive night of arson attacks that have outraged Germans and drawn condemnation from German Chancellor Angela Merkel. While arson attacks on luxury cars in Berlin and Hamburg have been relatively common in recent years, the current spate has attracted increased attention in the wake of Britain's recent outbreak of rioting.
Officials say there is no indication of a link, but have few leads. More than 100 officers are trying to track down the vandal, or vandals, he said. Merkel condemned the attacks and pledged her government's support for police. “What kind of behaviour is that — willingly risking the lives of others?” Merkel asked.

Police: Norwegian killer called two times
Swiss to close loophole on underage prostitution
Riot. Aftermath
Breivik tried to surrender twice, according to report First phone call came 26 minutes before the arrest THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The man behind the Norway attacks that killed 77 people last month hung up twice on authorities after calling to surrender during the shooting at a youth camp on Utoya island, police said Thursday. The first phone call came 26 minutes before officers arrested Breivik, who identified himself as the commander in an anti-communist resistance movement, police said. “I am at Utoya at the moment. I want to surrender,” he said, according to a transcript distributed at a news conference. Local police chief Sissel Hammer said “the operator took the conversation seriously and called back. No

one answered.” Breivik called again one minute before being captured and asked to be transferred to the commander of the anti-terror police unit. “I am a commander in the Norwegian resistance
movement,” the shooter said. “I have fulfilled my operation, so I want to ... surrender.” Once again, Breivik hung up, but he surrendered to police one minute later. Anders Behring Breivik’s lawyer Geir Lippestad told Norwegian daily Verdens Gang that the self-confessed killer said he shot at two groups of young people at Utoya and also fired over the lake in between two phone calls. Police officials also said that based on information they received from calls about the shooting on the island, they believed at the time that two to five attackers were involved.

Switzerland is moving to close a legal loophole that has allowed prostitution of minors as young as 16 to go unpunished in the country. The Swiss government says it has started consultations with parliament on a law to punish clients who visit under-18 prostitutes with up to three years imprisonment. Switzerland is one of the few countries in Europe where paying 16and 17-year-olds for sex is legal. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The counsellor handed over a journal of “pages and pages” of “very disturbing” writings, she said. The boy was rearrested in January after turning up at his new school and showing a student a knife.

Police near Philadelphia say a man who was shot earlier this week was likely killed for selling bad drugs, not because his girlfriend sought out a hitman on Facebook. Police in Upper Darby yesterday charged a man with carjacking the vehicle involved in Monday’s shooting of Corey White. White’s
ex-girlfriend is being held on charges she used Facebook to find someone to kill him. A judge upheld felony charges against London Eley and the would-be hit man, Timothy Bynum, 18, hours before White was killed. Both had been in jail for weeks when someone shot White. Upper Darby Police Supt. Michael Chitwood says 24year-old Alexander Solomon is now charged with carjacking that vehicle. Chitwood says it appears White was killed for selling bad marijuana.

Look beyond profits: Pope Economy ‘needs an ethical reason to work for mankind’ Youth must be considered, Benedict says GREGORIO BORGIA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pope Benedict XVI denounced the profit-at-allcost mentality that he says is behind Europe’s economic crisis as he arrived in hard-hit Spain on Thursday, and said ethics must play a greater role in formulating economic policy. Benedict made the comments as he travelled to Madrid for World Youth Day, a weeklong Catholic festival that is taking place against a backdrop of the European debt crisis and social unrest among the young that exploded in the recent riots in Britain. He said the sense of despera-
“Man must be at the centre of the economy, and the economy cannot be measured only by maximization of proďŹ t but rather according to the common good.â€? POPE BENEDICT XVI
tion among young people proves that ethics have been left out of economic policy at all levels. Benedict arrived in a cloudy Madrid to a boisterous welcome from young people with their faces painted the colours of the Spanish flag. In a speech delivered on the tarmac at Barajas airport, he referred to the precariousness many young people see in their future. Unemployment in Spain is nearly 21 per cent, the highest in the eurozone. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Goldman Sachs is set to launch a new stock exchange in Canada that would anonymously match buyers and sellers of TSX-listed equities, also known as a “dark pool� market, the Wall Street investment bank said Thursday. Broker-dealers, hedge funds and institutions would subscribe to the alternative trading system, called SIGMA X Canada. Goldman Sachs provides similar trading in the United States, Europe and Asia. Dark pools allow institutional investors to move large blocks of shares without having to publicly reveal who they are. “If word gets out that they are the buyers or the sellers, then that could impact on what the potential price might be,� said Stephen Foerster, finance professor at the University of Western Ontario. The move comes as competition in the stock market arena heats up. Maple Group Acquisition Corp. is in the middle of a $3.8-billion hostile takeover bid for TMX Group, operator of Canada’s major exchanges, including the TSX. The acquisition would be merged with Maple’s market operations, raising concerns among some about concentration. “The good news is with Goldman coming in, at least that’s the possibility of more competition,� Foerster said.

Solar flares: An article in TheWeek.com suggested solar flares, of all things, could be partly to NEIL MORTON blame for causing people to METRO go off the deep end in the London riots. Seems some scientists suggest these “geomagnetic storms” could have caused the unrest that week, as there is some evidence they impact human behaviour. Everything I did wrong that week I now unapologize for. Dads on vacation: This Tumblr blog (dadsonvacation.Tumblr.com) could really catch on. It’s simply awkward pictures submitted of dads posing on vacation with landmarks and such. Think of it as a spinoff of the hilarious site AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com. All that’s needed now is a site for moms to post pictures of themselves from Girls Nights Out. Actually, those should maybe stay in the vault. Brett Lawrie: Remember that name. Because the 21-year-old pride of Langley, B.C., will become a household name. He may be the most hyped Toronto Blue Jay of all time, but when you’re a hardnosed Canuck with amazing raw talent playing on the only Canadian MLB team, that’s to be expected. He’s a grand slam. All-star appearances, MVP awards, World Series rings all to come. Tara Reid engaged! No! Married!: Tara Reid tweeted over the weekend that she was in Greece and engaged to beau Zack Kehayov. Hours later, she tweeted she had married now-husband Zack Kehayov. We thought long courtships were the way to go to make sure the fit was there, but now whirlwind romances that you tweet about will be all the rage. Not. Kate Gosselin cancelled: Good riddance. TLC announced this week that Kate Gosselin’s reality show Kate Plus 8 will be shuttered after this season. The show reached its peak around the time the marriage of Kate and Jon was melting down before our eyes when the show was Jon & Kate Plus 8. As a Gawker.com post commented, “(the kids) know not the craven greed machine they were plugged into.” Blake Griffin: NBA superstar Blake Griffin might have delivered the tweet of the week to his 460,000 followers: “Accidentally hit a squirrel yesterday in my car. Feel so guilty I could barely sleep. Casey Anthony is a monster.” Enough said. Teen vampire: A 19-year-old dude in Texas broke into a complete stranger’s apartment on the weekend and began making “growling and hissing noises” while “biting and hitting” her. When apprehended, the kid told police, “I’m a vampire, and I’ve been alive for over 500 years.” Or he’s just watched Twilight one too many times. Will you YouTube me?: Windsor, Ont.’s Colleen Freker thought she was going to a retirement party last Saturday. She was actually going to her own wedding, planned by her beau Shawn Lippert. And it was all caught on film and susequently posted to YouTube, where it now has more than 200,000 views. Thank God she said yes.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth Mentioning NHL. Changes are coming
to NHL arenas this fall even though the league didn’t emerge from its two-day research-and-development camp with any significant rule recommendations. When the puck drops on a new season in October, each of the 30 arenas around the league will feature a curved springloaded glass stanchion between the benches to protect players. There will also likely be a series of minor changes made around the net to assist with video-review calls. The new glass stanchions are designed to prevent incidents like the one that saw Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty suffer a concussion last season after being hit by Boston Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara and slamming into the boards between the benches. The new design of net comes with a 40-inch frame as opposed to the traditional 44 inches. It also features a clear plastic strip along the top, thinner mesh and a builtin high definition camera — changes that should make the job easier for the league’s video review room.
WEIRD NEWS
The human brain, encoded into a series of 1s and 0s Computers, like humans, can learn. But when Google tries to fill in your search box based only on a few keystrokes, or your iPhone predicts words as you type a text message, it’s only a narrow mimicry of what the human brain can do. The challenge in training a computer to behave like a human brain is technological and physiological, testing the limits of computer and brain
science. But researchers from IBM Corp. say they’ve made a key step toward combining the two worlds. The company announced that it has built two prototype chips that it says process data more like how humans digest information than the chips that now power PCs and supercomputers. The chips represent a significant milestone in a six-year-long project that has involved some $41 million in funding from the government’s Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. The uses of the IBM chips so far are prosaic, such as steering a simulated car through a maze, or playing Pong. It may be a decade or longer before the chips make their way out of the lab.

WEEKEND, AUGUST 19-21, 2011
A day full of gimmicks One Day moves too slow and its romantic premise feels contrived Crouse and Breslin butt heads over the chemistry of Hathaway and Sturgess Richard: Mark, One Day is many things. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a style parade of hair and clothes from the past two decades and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting take on how to tell a story but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a little disconnected. I think the year-by-year format â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we drop in on Jim and Anne every July 15 for 20 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the culprit. It begins to feel gimmicky by the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s and by the millennium it almost feels as though it is playing out in real time. MB: Finally, a movie that asks the question: What happens when an insufferable prig meets an egomaniacal twit? The answer is: very little, at least until 15 years has passed. In the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, there was a film and
play called Same Time Next Year, which used a similar gimmick. In that film, a couple meet every year at the same time for a sexy romp, and slowly fall in love. In this movie, the couple start off with a romantic friendship, and then consummate the relationship after many years. And there, Richard, is the indisputable evidence of why the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s was a much better time. RC: Ha! I'll give you that this might have been a very different story had it been set in 1974, but I thought the decades-long dance they do as they pretend not to be in love showed the chemistry between the two. The film has some serious
structural flaws but the spark between the two of them forgives many of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sins. MB: Spark? What spark? I could barely see what they saw in each other. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a jerk, at least until half the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a puritan with bad taste in eyewear. And her accent is as fake as the rest of this sentimental travelogue through time. The movie did make London look very appealing, though, so I kept wishing that a neutron bomb would go off, wiping the cast from the screen and leaving all the gorgeous architecture intact. RC: I clearly liked this more than you! I thought
Sturgess brought an easy charm to the character, and his transformation from happy-go-lucky student to lounge lizard TV presenter is effective. Hathawayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal lies in the intelligence she brings to her characters. Here she plays a smarty-pants young woman set adrift in life, someone who is slowly finding the self confidence to be who she really wants to be. In Hathawayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands you never doubt that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get there. MB: Usually, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to be in Anne Hathawayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands. But not this time. And she wore the same Tshirt in bed in 1988 as she did in 1992. Did she ever wash that thing? Ewwww!

Paul Rudd: ‘Idealistic’ idiot Actor wreaks havoc on his sisters’ lives in new film Our Idiot Brother HANDOUT
NED EHRBAR
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA MWN IN HOLLYWOOD
Call it the Trouble with Hippies. Paul Rudd’s new film, Our Idiot Brother, follows a hapless idealist (Rudd) who, after serving time for selling pot to a uniformed police officer, proceeds to crash with each of his three sisters (played by Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer and Zooey Deschanel), wreaking havoc on their carefully constructed New York City lives in the process. Rudd admits that, despite the damage Ned creates in the film, his outlook on life is admirable. “It’s an idealistic way to live,” he says. “I think we try and strive for that not judgmental, not cynical way of an open and honest way of living. The world doesn’t really function like that. Families don’t really function like that. It’s a balancing act.” The trick to achieving the film’s believable bond between the siblings, Rudd insists, was not having any money to make the film. “I’m sure it bummed them out a little bit sometimes, but we benefited from being a pretty lowbudget movie and not hav-

Paul Rudd stars in Our Idiot Brother.
The dreaded pink eye While none of the actors describe themselves as particularly Method, Emily Mortimer was extremely helpful in establishing the family dynamic from the get-go. “Emily came to set with pink eye on the first day,” Elizabeth Banks remembers. “It was repulsive and made us not want to touch her. It really was sweet, it was like she did it for us.”
ing trailers and places for people to escape and be alone and forced everyone to hang out with each other all the time,” he says. “It could have backfired and they could have hated each other, but luckily everyone really enjoyed each other.” For some in the cast, though, it wasn’t just the working conditions that made the story accessible.
Banks admits she felt some serious déjà vu when she read the script. “I am the oldest, bossiest daughter of a family of four. I have two sisters, one of whom is a divorced mother of two, and one of whom lives in Brooklyn with four roommates,” she says. “I have a 26-year-old brother who sells pizza and maybe something else while delivering those piz-
zas. Yes, I really connected to the film in a deep way.” She could also relate to Ned, she admits, as she’s no stranger to causing strife by saying the wrong thing to the wrong family member. A particular email about her sister’s wedding comes to mind: “Basically I was like, ‘When we go to the wedding, we’re just going to make the best of a bad situation.’ My sister ended up on the email forward and wrote me back, replyall, ‘I really wish I didn’t know this was how you were coming to my wedding,’” she says. “Needless to say, I was not in the wedding at my sister’s wedding, nor was my other sister.”
Joey Potter has grown up. The 31-year-old woman who became famous for that character on Dawson’s Creek so many years ago, is now poised and unflappable as she sits in New York’s Waldorf Astoria, sweetly answering questions about her latest film, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. Produced by the auteur of gore, Guillermo Del Toro, Dark centres around a young girl named Sally (Bailee Madison) who joins her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Holmes) to live at an old restored mansion, which, Sally learns, harbours some creepy ancient creatures who are dying for some company. “They’re like cockroach-
es but worse because they’re slimy, so it’s like half-maggot, half cockroach,” Holmes says of the predatory homunculi. Where the actress, who has been married to fellow actor Tom Cruise for five years this November, is heavy on charm — she even thanked us for coming out in the rain to support the film — she’s light on candour. Holmes is one to, as we say in the business, “stick to the script” — not that we blame her. “It was a real thrill to work with Guillermo,” she says when asked how doing this movie compared with the horror movies she did earlier in her career. “I loved the characters and the family dynamics that really bring the audience in. Then, all of a sudden something scary happens and you realize you’re on this thrill ride.”

What the (bleep)?
HANDOUT
Have you noticed more F-bombs in movies? It’s not in your head — filmmakers are bending the rules Those extra expletives you’re hearing at the multiplex these days aren’t just echoes. PG-13 movies, officially allowed one nonsexual F-word per script, are making increased use of that allotment — and more — as filmmakers work the rules in a world where Rrated comedies full of both male and female trash talk have become a summertime staple. Recent PG-13 examples include F-bomb reactions to Ryan Gosling’s abs in Crazy Stupid Love, Bryan Cranston’s boorish behaviour in Larry Crowne and those rampaging robots in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. “Filmmakers are certainly using it more often, taking advantage of it,” says Joan Graves, head of the Motion Picture Associ-
ation of America’s Classification and Rating Administration. Using the F-word outside of the R-rated world certainly isn’t a new phenomenon. In fact, prior to the adoption of the PG-13 rating in 1984, the F-word would periodically pop up in PG movies. Even after the creation of the PG-13 rating, movies like Big and Beetlejuice sneaked in the F-word and still secured a PG rating. Those days are gone, but the expletive isn’t — now uttered outside the province of the R-rating nearly as often as Hollywood does sequels. “Making a PG-13 movie, it's always a pick-andchoose battle of where do you want to use one because, often with improvisation, a couple of F-words
will creep into the movie,” says Crazy Stupid Love screenwriter Dan Fogelman. “So you want to pick the best one, the most appropriate one.” Actually, as watchers of The Social Network and The Tourist can attest, PG13 movies occasionally have more than one Fword. So how the (bleep) does that happen? Officially, the MPAA’s Classification and Rating Administration’s guidelines state: “A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context.” But the MPAA’s guidelines then add that if two-

thirds of the rating board members believe that multiple F-words are used in a legitimate “context or manner” or are “inconspicuous,” then the movie could still be rated PG-13. Says the MPAA’s Graves of the rating board’s twothirds override for lan-
guage: “It’s hard to explain. But if you’ve just seen the film and you think they’ve been innocuous, or they’re an hour and a half apart, or they’re in the background or not emphatic. Or sometimes they’re in the same scene, just repeated twice.” Each
of those qualities can make a difference to the board, Graves notes. “All the raters are parents, and they’re charged with rating a film the way they think a majority of American parents would rate the film,” Graves adds. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Conan the Barbarian Genre: Action Director: Marcus Nispel Stars: Jason Momoa, Ron Perlman, Rose McGowan 81
The most impressive thing about Conan the Barbarian is star Jason Momoa’s rear end, which can practically stand up on its own. The same, sadly, can’t be said for Marcus Nispel’s movie. It’s a straight-forward revenge tale that jogs unenthusiastically from action setpiece to action set-piece, borrowing from enough of its predecessors to make the whole thing feel overly generic. The movie’s first section, though, is killer, and the highlight is Conan as a boy, played by the ferocious Leo Howard. The resemblance to Momoa is striking, but Howard’s barbarian is just that much more animalistic and feral. But when your hero is already a fearless warrior who can behead a
Fright Night 3D whole gang of armed savages twice his size, where else can you possibly go with the character? The only real difference between Conan at the beginning of the movie and
Conan at the end is that he’s older and played by a different actor. Maybe an entire movie about a preteen barbarian would’ve been a better idea. NED EHRBAR
Genre: Comedy/Horror Director: Craig Gillespie Stars: Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, David Tennant 811
Even if you’re a devotee of director Tom Hol-
land’s original 1985 vampire comedy Fright Night, you might still be able to groove on Craig Gillespie’s contemporary 3D remake. When Fright Night 3D comes into its own, adding new twists
and relying on its novel setting and the strengths of its new cast and characters, only the most dour pundit would argue the movie is nothing short of a breath of fresh fetid air. CHRIS ALEXANDER

Spy Kids: All the time in the world in 4D
Piven, Joel McHale 8
Genre: Action Director: Robert Rodriguez Stars: Jessica Alba, Jeremy
When Alexa Vega, star of the original Spy Kids, pops up on-screen in Spy Kids 4
as a full-fledged adult, it will make you feel old. Yes, it’s been 10 years since the first film, and while Robert Rodriguez’s grasp of micro-budget effects has come a long way, his knack for kid-friendly stories hasn’t. The jokes are groan-inducing even for the elementary school set, and the less said about the Aroma-Scope scratchand-sniff cards given out the better, except to point out that nearly half of the smell cues are flatulencerelated. While it might seem futile to critique the script of a movie like this, it’s truly amazing that Rodriguez managed to work the word ‘time’ into almost every line of dialogue. The movie also features Jeremy Piven in multiple roles, which really should be enough of a red flag on its own, and Ricky Gervais as the voice of a robot dog that speaks exclusively in fart jokes and Ricky Gervais standup bits.

Eco Pirate: The Paul Watson Story Genre: Documentary Director: Trish Dolman Stars: Paul Watson, Patrick Moore, Rex Weyler 888 1⁄2
Paul Watson doesn’t exactly fit the mould of the all-loving environmentalist. In fact, the early member of Greenpeace left the organization because he disagreed with their non-violent policies and now embarks on environmental quests like captaining ships that crash into illegal Japanese whaling vessels. As you’d expect, he’s a controversial figure and fortunately Trish Dolman’s documentary profile offers no sugar coating. PHIL BROWN

Jamie Campbell Bower wonders if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something other than his talents that helped him land roles in two of Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful fantasy film franchises â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Harry Potter and the Twilight saga â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to mention the role of legendary King Arthur in the new Starz epic, Camelot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe I have a look,â&#x20AC;? he ponders about his career in the genre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you think I have a look?â&#x20AC;? After posing a few questions about tackling the iconic Arthur to the 22year-old, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty sure his appeal is more about charisma and confidence than just that smouldering stare. What kind of king do you play in Camelot?
A child. Torn from his home, from everything he thought he knew, and thrown into a position of great power. Our Arthur, to
Jamie Campbell Bower, left, as Arthur and Peter Mooney as Kay in Camelot. The show airs Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC this fall.
begin with, is scared and confused, but throughout the first season, and hopefully subsequent, he grows and develops into a man and into a true king. How does he diďŹ&#x20AC;er from other incarnations of the character?
Not many interpretations of the myth pick up the story [with Arthur as a boy]. People may have this preconceived idea of what King Arthur should be like â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a big, bearded, brutish hero,
but what we have done is add realism to the story. If â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because there is no factual evidence that this man existed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he did exist, Arthur would have been a boy at some point, and what episodic television allows us is the time to explore the realities of life and a development of character. Did you have any apprehensions in bringing this legend to life?
Yes, of course. With great power comes great responsibility. It was terrifying for me but I love a challenge. Why do you think the fantasy genre is experiencing so much popularity right now?
Above anything, people want to be taken away from the monotony of daily life. They want to invest in characters. People want to be entertained. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a genre thing per say â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it should be all about story.

HANDOUT
Smith brings back Red Green in comedy tour Stage show is ‘a little bit of Mark Twain, a little Will Rogers’: Steve Smith ‘I focus on guys like myself, how to survive a marriage and raise kids’ Turns out Red Green was just playing possum. Steve Smith wrote, produced and headlined exactly 300 episodes of Red Green before pulling the plug, playing the plaidshirted handyman who never met a project he couldn’t duct tape. They were spread over several stations and networks, starting with a handshake deal in 1990 at Hamilton’s CHCH. Global,
Popular man: Steve Smith’s alter ego has close to 430,000 followers on Facebook.
“It’s odd for a man my age to be doing something brand new that’s not a medical procedure.” STEVE SMITH

PBS and CBC also broadcast the series during its long run. A feature film, Duct Tape Forever, was released in 2002. When Smith finally walked away from Possum Lodge and hung up his red and green suspenders six years ago he vowed he’d never perform as the character again. “I really, really tried, OK?” he says. “That first winter, when I finished the last show and went to Florida, I played 162 rounds of golf. Nobody tried harder than me.” Then he began to get that creative itch again. He and his wife formed a little singing group and started
performing near their winter home in Florida. He found himself sneaking in shtick between songs, just like the old days. And then one day he was playing golf with the CEO of Random House Canada and was offered a chance to write a book in the Red Green character. “I thought, ‘He’s not going to ask me again if I say no,’” recalls Smith. The mock manual How To Do Everything was the result. Smith realized he’d have to promote the book and tested out a one-man show in Minneapolis. “It was just so much fun,” says the 65-year-old entertainer. More U.S.
shows were booked and quickly sold out in markets where The Red Green Show aired on PBS. Next month, starting Sept. 8 in Surrey, B.C., and running straight across to St. John’s, N.L, Smith brings the Red Green Wit & Wisdom Tour to Canada. While there is a stop at Ontario’s Casino Rama (Oct. 27), there are no plans to play Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal. “If there are 100,000 or more people, I’m probably not going there,” says Smith. Still, he says it’s the most fun he’s ever had performing. “Nothing else is even a close second.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

DO YOU WANT TO GO FASTER? SOUND CHECK
ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA
H
ere in Southern Ontario, the End Times for summer is heralded by the opening of the Canadian National Exhibition.
For me, the CNE works much better in nostalgic terms than actually going again. For example, no visit to the CNE was complete without a ride on that ride with that guy who was always yelling “DO YOU WANNA GO
FASTER?” while the music pounded. Even though the cars and walls were encrusted with centrifugally applied vomitus, I just had to give it a whirl, even though I knew the little donuts would soon be liberated from my di-
Ozzy Osbourne is forever associated with fair rides.
gestive tract. A big draw for me was the music. Some unseen DJ, probably with fewer teeth than a chicken, spun the tunes from a booth somewhere in the back. He, the ride, and the fact that physics was about to push me very tightly against whatever girl was sitting next to me made even the lamest songs — You Sexy Thing by Hot Chocolate comes to mind — seem unbelievably exciting. And for whatever reason, I’ll forever associate that ride — Polar Express, Himalaya, whatever it was called any given year — with Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group. I decided to conduct an experiment in crowdsourcing. I posted this question on my Facebook and Google+ pages to see how this would work as an investigation into
social music: What song do most associate with that ride? Talk about striking a nerve. After 10 minutes, I had 50 replies. Metal from the ’80s seemed to be the big favourite: Ozzy (Crazy Train), GnR (Welcome to the Jungle) and the Scorpions (Rock You Like a Hurricane) all showed up multiple times. Someone also brought up Free Ride — a Edgar Winter Group song — because the “DO YOU WANNA GO FASTER” question always came just before bassline-heavy bridge leading into the final chorus. Once that bassline started, you knew the second-hand cotton candy wasn’t far behind. Come to think of it, maybe I will go to the CNE this year, if just to ride this ride. I wonder: will I blend?
Brad Paisley, apparently, has a forgettable face.
WOULD YOU KNOW HIM? COUNTRY MUSIC STAR NOT RECOGNIZED AT OWN GIG While U.K. fans go wild for Brad Paisley on stage, backstage it’s a different matter. The U.S. country star kicked off the European leg of his world tour Wednesday night at London’s O2 Arena and had two sold-out shows there last year. But the Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year says he’s not famous enough yet in Europe
that everyone recognizes him, even backstage at his own show. “I’m getting asked everywhere ... if I belong here, you know, ‘Excuse me sir, do you have a pass?’ ... (even at) my own gig!” he said before the concert. Luckily, Paisley doesn’t take offence and even enjoys anonymity. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

To each her own: Stars have mixed feelings on surgery Winslet, Thompson and Weisz despise cosmetic surgery JASON MERRITT/GETTY IMAGES
Kate Winslet has joined with fellow British actresses Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz to form the “British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League,” with all three vowing to never go under the knife, she tells the Telegraph. “I will never give in. It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty,” she says. “I am an actress, I don’t want to freeze the expression of my face.”

Gwyneth Paltrow, meanwhile, thinks there could be certain situations when some cosmetic surgery isn’t out of the question. “Before I didn’t care about it. And I still refuse to use silicone, Botox or other of those gimmicks out of pure vanity,” she tells Germany’s OK! Magazine. “But a breast correction after breast feeding, why not? There’s actually nothing else to restore the original condition, isn’t there?” METRO
Tough spot for Bullock In an effort to cut ties from ex-husband Jesse James, Sandra Bullock has had to halt communications with James’ seven-year-old daughter, Sunny, according to Us Weekly. “Sandra doesn’t communicate anymore with Sunny.

Another source claims that Bullock isn’t happy about not being in Sunny’s life anymore, but that she “had to move on” from James. “The last thing she wanted to do was hurt Sunny,” says the source. “But she had to do what was best for her.” METRO

Sandwiches: The next generation These combinations give new life to the lunch item that typically includes ham and cheese Experiment with different and unique fillings MATTHEW MEAD/ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lunch box sandwiches donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to default to ham and cheese or peanut butter and jelly. There are plenty of options to mix things up and keep them interesting. Ditching the sliced bread is a good place to start. Consider making sandwiches on a piece of baguette (or multiple smaller sandwiches on thin baguette slices). Or if crusty bread isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite thing, try folding or rolling the fillings in a piece of lavash or naan flatbread. You can also get creative with fillings. Sliced meats can be combined with yogurt or cream cheese spreads, and cucumber sandwiches can be made more nutritious and filling by adding hummus.
Cucumber Hummus Sandwich Preparation:
1
Spread the hummus over half of the naan. Drizzle honey over the other half of the naan. Arrange the cucumber slices over hummus, then sprinkle everything with salt and pepper. Fold the naan in half to
form a sandwich.
Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Sliders Preparation:

2
In a small bowl, mix together broccoli and alfredo sauce. Arrange chicken over 3 of the baguette slices. Top with broccoli-alfredo mix. Top with a piece of cheese, cut to ďŹ t, and remaining bread. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

South Africa in a wine glass PETER ROCKWELL LIQUIDASSETS@EASTLINK.CA TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY
One of the questions I get asked the most is which wine producing country I enjoy visiting. Winemakers have a habit of growing their grapes in pretty interesting places, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to answer. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had adventures in Italy, Spain, Argentina, California and, most recently, France. That said, my time in South Africa may have been the best combination of new and mindblowing experiences. Sadly, South African wines limped along in popularity. Without a major powerhouse producer that draws people down its liquor store aisle on a regular basis, the selection across the country is best known as a population of individuality â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where standalone wines with unique personalities and funky names rule. Douglas Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 The Beach House ($9.73 - $11.99) is a perfect example. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a relaxed white with fresh gooseberry aromatics and a crisp backbone of green fruit massaged by subtle honeyed undertones that taste like liquid summer.

A man with a plan Andre Levingston launches Canadian basketball league with combine, draft this weekend RYAN TAPLIN/METRO
Andre Levingston has received an earful from critics who tell him there’s no way a Canadian pro basketball league can survive. Others before him have tried and failed, they say. “I say they’ve never met anyone like me,” he responds. Levingston is a founder of the fledgling seven-team National Basketball League, which gets off the ground this weekend with a combine and draft in Toronto. “We know we’re only going to get one chance to do it the right way, and so we’re not going to blow it,” he said. Since announcing the league’s formation in midMay, four teams have joined the original three, coaching staffs have been hired, and a schedule has been drawn up that will begin Oct. 29 with each club playing 36 games. The top four teams advance to playoffs in March. The league’s early days have made for long ones for Levingston and partner Ian McCarthy, who’ve spent a good chunk of the past few weeks meeting with mayors and heads of tourism in various Canadian cities. He calls it a labour of love. “We’ve been extremely busy, but at the same time it’s something that we truly enjoy, it’s a passion of ours first,” Levingston said. “We love the game of basketball, and what we’re doing for the country, it’s been priceless. I wouldn’t change it for the world.” The NBL was formed when three existing teams — the Halifax Rainmen (of

which Levingston is president and CEO), Saint John Mill Rats and Quebec Kebs — left the Premier Basketball League amid complaints of poor management. Since then, NBL franchises have been formed in London, Ont., Oshawa, Ont., Moncton, N.B., and P.E.I. Several basketball leagues and franchises have failed to survive in the past. The World Basketball League — which included six Canadian teams — was founded in 1987 by a group that included NBA Hall of Famer and Boston Celtics great Bob Cousy. That league, which had a height restriction of sixfoot-five and under, folded in 1992.

$4,000 The expected monthly salary for the league’s top players. The all-Canadian National Basketball League, which included eight teams, started up the same year but barely got off the ground, folding after less than two seasons. Levingston said he and McCarthy are being careful about who they’re allowing to buy into their league. “We’re not looking for individuals who are looking for a hobby of owning a basketball team, making it easy for them to walk away in the process and leaving cities in financial trouble,”
Levingston said. “We’re looking to do things the right way and we’re going to take our time. We’re going to make sure the right individuals are on board with what we’re doing.” The Oshawa franchise is owned by a group that includes real estate entrepreneur Isaac Olowolafe Jr., while the London Lightning owners are property developers Taylor Brown and Vito Frijia. All 180 spots for this weekend’s combine at Seneca College are filled, with the first day featuring players from outside Canada, and the second day reserved for Canadians. The league stipulates each team must have two Canadians.

Levingston believes with the possibility of an NBA lockout looming, it wouldn’t be a stretch to see an NBA player suit up in the Canadian league. “Absolutely, we sent a press release offering NBA players the opportunity to stay closer to home to play,” he said. “We know we won’t get a LeBron James or a Kobe Bryant. But not everybody wants to go overseas. They want to stay closer to home. With the lockout looming, these guys need to play basketball and stay sharp, stay in shape, and be able to make a little bit of money. Even the money they make in our league can pay a mortgage.”
“The commissioner never told me to sign or not sign with particular teams.” MICHAEL VICK. VICK TOLD GQ MAGAZINE THAT HE INITIALLY DIDN’T WANT TO SIGN WITH PHILADELPHIA. THE ARTICLE SAYS VICK WAS CONVINCED TO SIGN WITH THE EAGLES INSTEAD OF CINCINNATI OR BUFFALO AFTER MEETING WITH LEAGUE OFFICIALS. VICK SAYS HE MADE THE CHOICE ON HIS OWN.

Eskimos looking to right offensive tailspin JOHN WOODS/THE CANADIAN PRESS
CFL EXTRA POINTS
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Eskimos have posted just 20 total points in the last two losses in which opponents have shut down the Green and Gold running game.â&#x20AC;?
DAN TOTH
OTTAWA@METRONEWS.CA
Nobody believed Edmonton could finish first in the West this season, not even the Eskimos, and seven weeks into the season reality is finally setting in. The Esks followed their surprising 5-0 start with consecutive losses, culminating with a putrid fourpoint offensive performance in Montreal in their second consecutive loss. After lighting up the scoreboard through that five-game win streak, the Esks have posted just 20 total points in the last two losses in which opponents have shut down the Green
Edmontonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ricky Ray has come up small after a 5-0 start with the Eskimos.
and Gold running game. With Ricky Ray forced to throw, opposing defences have narrowed their focus on pummelling the Edmonton quarterback, recording 10 sacks. In the
last two games Jerome Messam has collected just 47 yards along the ground, a far cry from the first five games, when he provided the Esks with a balanced and often unstoppable at-
tack. The Esks get a reprieve this week against the B.C. Lions before taking on the Calgary Stampeders in back-to-back contests starting Labour Day. A
sweep and Calgary could be well on its way to first place in the West. No flipping way: Give full credit to Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hugh Charles for his athletic prowess in scoring three touchdowns against Calgary last week, but can the man not count? His third TD left the hapless Riders 17 points (yes, 17) behind Calgary on the scoreboard yet the last-place Roughies running back was celebrating with backflips. Add selfish behaviour to the long list of problems in
Ridervillle. Then came news this week out of Regina that Charles has been sidelined with an injury, preventing him from playing Thursday night in Toronto. The Riders arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclosing details, but wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be ironic if it happened during one of those flip-flops. Maybe Charles slipped on some mustard? Argos leading the crawl to playoffs by a nose: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only one-third through the CFL schedule but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine B.C., Saskatchewan or Toronto deserving a berth in the playoffs in November, yet at least one will find a way. The Argos may have the inside track, with four consecutive games against the Riders and Lions over the next month. A decent showing in the next four weeks could at least secure the Double Blue a crossover spot in the West.
