A Harvest for those in need

JAMES TURNER/METRO

Manitoba’s food banks all share food with one another Most foodbank use is in Winnipeg ELISHA DACEY

@METRONEWS.CA

The latest numbers from Winnipeg’s largest food bank show more people are going hungry than ever before.

Number of main 4 groups of people who use Winnipeg Harvest: single-parent families, people with disabilities, those with no income and the working poor.

Winnipeg Harvest’s David Northcott said the food bank has seen a 21 per cent jump in the number of people needing the food bank on a monthly basis as compared to last year — the highest number ever.

“We’re currently at 47,000 in individuals in Winnipeg, and throughout the province that number is about 58,000,” said Northcott, adding about half of those are children. “It’s very

Northcott said there appears to be a number of reasons for the increase — a lack of affordable housing, rising food prices and social assistance rates that don’t cover either.

“A lot of people are using their food budget for rent,” said Northcott.

Service was restored around 9:15 a.m., said a spokesperson for Manitoba Hydro.

Meanwhile, a two-car accident at the corner of Maryland Street and Westminister Avenue tied up traffic for several hours, said police.

Const.

Jason Michalyshen said the accident was between a silver Toyota Rav4 and a grey Saturn Vue, and during the accident a light standard was sheared. The Saturn ended up spinning

through a fence, coming to rest in a front residential yard.

Const. Michalyshen said one woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries, while an adult male did not require medical treatment.

Officers had to direct traffic at the intersection for more than three hours while the light standard was replaced.

No other details were available.

Thank you!

It may be a small thing, but it’s a big thing to us.

For the first time ever, Metro is not our traditional green. We’ve changed our colours from Saskatchewan Roughrider green and white to Winnipeg Blue Bomber blue and gold in honour of the Labour Day Classic. Next week, we’ll do the same thing, in honour of the Banjo Bowl.

It all started when it was pointed out to me that Metro's colours were

Roughrider colours. They were right, and I had to do something about it. After all, this is Bomber Nation.

But the powers that be wanted Winnipeg to prove how much they liked the Big Blue.

So we want to thank the CFL’s craziest, loudest, stripped-half-naked-inNovember-and-paintedblue-and-gold fans in the league for helping us reach our goal.

Authorities in Minnesota say Winnipeg Jets star Dustin Byfuglien has been arrested on suspicion of boating while intoxicated.

The sheriff’s jail roster in Hennepin County says the 26-year-old defenceman was brought in just before midnight Wednesday night and released shortly after 2 a.m.

An employee with the county sheriff’s office says he was arrested on probable cause and officers have 36 hours to determine if he will actually be charged.

During that time, blood or urine tests will confirm if he was intoxicated.

Another jail official said a mug shot of Byfuglien was taken but a decision was made not to release it to the media.

Motive for baby’s abduction and beating still a mystery

Attacker was released on bail just days before the attack Attempted murder charge was dropped due to lack of evidence JAMES TURNER

@METRONEWS.CA

No one will ever know why Nikita Eaglestick abducted a 13-month-old baby girl from a Winnipeg home and repeatedly smashed her face into the pavement.

But the 21-year-old mentally-disabled woman now faces the prospect of spending six years in prison after pleading guilty to child abduction and assault causing bodily harm in connection to the senseless Sept. 1, 2009 attack that shocked the city.

The attack “was so horrendous that it’s actually difficult to find words to de-

scribe it,” prosecutor Jennifer Mann told Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Deborah McCawley.

Eaglestick, then 19, was drunk at a chaotic earlymorning drinking party at the victim’s mother’s home on Gilbert Avenue.

At some point she was seen walking away with a bundle in her arms, court heard.

Not long after, a man living nearby said he heard a “weird high-pitched noise” and saw a woman striking an object he thought was a cat against the pavement, Mann said. As he got closer he learned it was a baby.

The woman ran off as

“I am unable to say why it is Ms. Eaglestick took (the baby) and assaulted her in the manner in which she did.”

JENNIFER MANN, CROWN ATTORNEY

the witness called 911 for help. While the baby suffered a number of “visible injuries” to her face and head and was covered in blood, she has since made a full recovery.

Police arrested a sobbing Eaglestick minutes later, hiding in some bushes not far from the crime scene,

court heard.

Defence lawyer Darren Sawchuk asked McCawley to sentence Eaglestick to four years of time served, plus three years of supervised probation in the community.

Sawchuk said she grew up in a “culture of despair” on the Little Grand Rapids reserve and was only recently diagnosed with major developmental problems.

“This case is like none other,” he said. “It happened in an absolute drunken stupor.”

McCawley reserved her decision until later this year.

Crowd ballooned out of control prior to Stanley Cup game: Report Communication was lacking PHYLICIA TORREVILLAS

@METRONEWS.CA METRO CANADA IN VANCOUVER

Police were overwhelmed and lost control of the massive crowd gathered on Vancouver’s streets during the June 15 Stanley Cup riot, according to a report released Thursday.

An independent review entitled “The Night the City Became a Stadium” — authored by John Furlong and Douglas Keefe — found that police lost control of the large crowd, many of them fuelled by alcohol, hours before Game 7 began.

The report also found that too many people were allowed in the temporary fan zones. The main viewing area on West Georgia Street was designed to safely contain about 34,000 people, not the 155,000 people that showed up.

The authors suggested the VPD should’ve better

Report findings A report on the Vancouver riots found a number of problems, including: Preparedness: Crowd was larger than expected and arrived earlier than police had anticipated. This led to officers being overwhelmed.

Communication: Commander’s radio didn’t work, preventing riot police from getting in place. Batteries for loudspeakers also hadn’t been charged.

anticipated fans arriving earlier for Game 7 and prepared for potential problems, and the city should have had better public safety planning and practicing for large scale events.

The report outlined 53 recommendations to ensure safe celebrations in the future.

Arctic shipwreck hands over historic bounty FRED CHARTRAND/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Archeologists diving on a 19th century shipwreck have brought back a small cache of artifacts they hope will tell them more about the lost Franklin expedition.

With youthful enthusiasm, veteran staff from Parks Canada showed off items plucked from the deck of HMS Investigator just eight metres beneath the freezing Arctic waters.

The former merchant ship made two voyages to

the Arctic in search of Sir John Franklin’s storied expedition, but was abandoned in 1853 after becoming stuck in the once-impenetrable Arctic ice. The ship was found last year in Mercy Bay, off Banks Island in the Beaufort Sea.

Artifacts — including the shoes and a bent musket, its trigger guard altered to accommodate winter gloves — lay exposed on the ship’s decks and strewn on the sandy bottom.

Meanwhile, the search for Franklin’s expedition continues.

A pair of shoes are shown preserved in water at the laboratories of Parks Canada, Thursday.

This rifle was also found near the HMS Investigator.

Harper: It’s back to work in Libya SEAN KILPATRICK/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Sanctions lifted Now Canadian firms can do business there again Hillary hits out Fight on: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sent that message to Libyan rebels Thursday.

“We must see our military mission through to its conclusion,” she said in Paris.

“Coalition military operations should continue as long as civilians remain under threat of attack.”

cor Energy and SNC Lavalin are among Canadian companies with operations in the oil-rich country.

But Canada’s hands are tied when it comes to releasing $2 billion in frozen Libyan assets held by Canadian institutions. The freeze is in place because of broader UN sanctions.

From left, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and British Prime Minister David Cameron are greeted in Paris on Thursday by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. World leaders are there to help chart Libya’s path to freedom.

“The battle will be long,” he warned. “Let Libya burn.”

Rebels have been hunting for Gadhafi since he was forced into hiding after they swept into Tripoli on Aug. 20.

In a defiant message from hiding, Moammar Gadhafi warned Thursday that tribes loyal to him are well-armed and preparing for battle.

“We won’t surrender again — we are not women, we will keep fighting,” said Gadhafi, his voice recognizable.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper says Canada is lifting the sanctions it imposed on Libya because dictator Moammar Gadhafi is no longer in power.

“Canada is taking this first step to remove our unilateral sanctions that were put in place against the Gadhafi regime in order to assist the Libyan people transition justly, safely and securely toward a democracy,” Harper said.

Harper’s announcement followed a similar move by the European Union and comes as he and other world leaders meet in Paris to chart Libya’s future.

The sanctions prevented Canadian companies from doing any business with the Gadhafi government. Sun-

Earth’s orbit needs cleaning

Music. Beats

Too much space junk littered around planet: report High-tech cleaning technology touted as solution NASA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Space junk has made such a mess of Earth’s orbit that experts say we may need to finally think about cleaning it up.

That may mean vacuuming up debris with weird space technology — cosmic versions of nets, magnets and giant umbrellas, according to the chairman of an expert panel that issued a new report on the problem Thursday.

There are 22,000 objects in orbit that are big enough for officials on the ground

One idea making the rounds is of a satellite that is armed with nets that could be sprung on wayward junk.

Attached to the net is an electromagnetic tether that could either harmlessly burn the junk or boost it to safer orbit.

Since the space age began 54 years ago, civilization has littered Earth’s orbit with leftover parts that come off during launches and off satellites.

Those agreements make

But two events in the past four years – a 2007 Chinese anti-satellite weapon test and a 2009 crash-inorbit of two satellites – put so much new junk in space that everything changed, the report said.

The report is from the National Research Council, a branch of the National Academy of Sciences, an independent organization chartered by US Congress.

Too much buzz, not enough buy

CE. Trade fair

Smartphone use is growing, but mobile e-commerce is slow to take off Tiny screens, security holding it back When it comes to mobile shopping, so far there’s more buzz than buy.

As the number of people who use iPhones and other smartphones grows, companies selling everything from hardware to high fashion are touting all the new applications they’re rolling out that allow shoppers to do anything from check a store’s inventory while in the dressing room to ordering

prescriptions.

Retailers are betting that selling their wares on a device that people carry around all day can encourage consumers to spend money during an economic downturn.

But so far, consumers mostly are using their phones to look up locations and compare prices and stopping short of tapping the “buy” button.

Why? In part because they find it hard to shop on the tiny screens and they don’t quite think it’s safe to input their credit

card information into their phone.

Mobile purchases are growing faster than online sales, which are increasing at around 10 per cent a year. But mobile commerce is expected to account for $6 billion US, or just two per cent of overall e-commerce sales this year, according to Forrester Research.

“The transactions aren’t anywhere close to a big number,” says Siva Kumar, whose company, TheFind, offers mobile price-checking applications. “But the first stage of any revolution is that people start using the new tool.”

Apple under fire over alleged pollution IAN GAVAN/GETTY IMAGES

Apple is defending itself against a fresh barrage of criticism from Chinese environmental activists over alleged pollution by the manufacturers who make its iconic iPhones, iPads and other products.

In a report issued Wednesday, a group of nongovernmental organizations accused the technology giant of violating its own corporate responsibility standards by using suppliers it said its investigations found are violating the law and endangering public health by discharging heavy metals and other toxins.

Responding to the report, Apple said Thursday that it was committed to

“driving the highest standards of social responsibility” in its supply chain.

In a letter to the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, the Beijing-based NGO that spearheaded the report, Apple said it took such concerns seriously but had found discrepancies in the document.

It also proposed a “private conference call” with the institute.

The latest report explores in more detail findings of an earlier one that took Apple and other big electronics makers to task for alleged violations of labour and environmental standards.

It says Apple is spread-

Shaw Communications has pulled the plug on plans to launch a wireless phone service, favouring instead a less risky venture into Wi-Fi services.

After spending three years and millions of dollars toward a wireless network rollout, the Calgary-based telecommunications company said yesterday it has determined that the potential payoff doesn’t justify risking the $1-billion investment required.

“The wireless business is challenging from a number of perspectives and it became clear from our review that the economics of a new

Instead, the company will focus on building a Wi-Fi network that will let customers use Shaw services outside their home — at coffee shops, shopping malls, and other hotspots — a trend it has pegged for growth as it sees a shift in Internet usage toward handheld devices.

Shaw’s retreat leaves Western Canada the only part of Canada where the cable competitor is not in wireless. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Wade Belak: Another NHL enforcer died this week — the third this summer — but no one saw NEIL MORTON this coming. Belak seemed METRO like the happiest, funniest, most self-deprecating dude around.

Everyone liked him. He lived in my old ’hood for a while and every time you saw him with his wife and daughters, he was smiling. That’s what people will remember most about the big redhead from Saskatchewan. His big, permanent smile.

Calvin Locke: The singer/songwriter is about halfway through a 100 Day Tour across Canada to raise funds and build awareness for children’s cancer charities. He doesn’t have any gigs booked, but plays spontaneous gigs in random places out of his ’87 Chevrolet Beauville van. Follow Locke’s amazing journey on Twitter @calvinlocke or his website IPlayMusicForPeople.com.

Sebastian Bach & Irene: Bach’s New Jersey home that was once featured on MTV Cribs was destroyed during Hurricane Irene. He said on his Facebook page, “I will always love New Jersey but now there is literally nothing left for me here except memories of a past life. Hello, Los Angeles. Hello, New Life.”

Uh, Sebastian, not to dissuade you, but have you heard that Cali gets the occasional earthquake?

Space Oddity Children’s Book: Canadian illustrator Andrew Kolb has given modern love to a David Bowie song by creating a “concept book” for kids (it could also be an avant-garde coffee table book for adults) based on his classic space epic, Space Oddity. It’s a really neat idea, imagining Bowie’s song in visuals as Kolb does. The free download available at KolbIsNeat.com is temporarily removed due to legal rights around the song, but here’s hoping Bowie’s peeps give permission.

Prof Quits Over Parking Spot: Dalhousie University prof Dan Middlemiss quit his job in frustration at the Halifax school after 30 years of teaching because of a severe shortage of parking spaces, a problem that has apparently been ongoing. I once wrote an article for my high school newspaper on my school’s parking problems called The Pain of Parking At Adam Scott. But my parents didn’t let me quit being a student. iPad Made Of Wood: A woman in South Carolina purchased an iPad from two men in a McDonald’s parking lot at a discounted rate. When she later opened the FedEx box it was in, she discovered it was just a block of wood with an Apple logo painted on it.

Lesson learned: If you’re approached in a McDonald’s parking lot about buying an iPad, first make sure it’s actually an iPad and not just a piece of wood painted black with an Apple logo.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth Mentioning A visit by a Chinese leader meant to spread goodwill has instead left Hong Kong fuming.

In the two weeks since the visit, journalists have taken to the street in protest. Professors have taken out newspaper ads and students demanded the police chief resign.

The uproar is the latest clash of cultures between the authoritarian government in Beijing and Hong Kong, the former British colony returned to China’s control but allowed to keep its capitalism, civil liberties and Western-style legal system.

Sparking the outrage were the security arrangements put on for Vice Premier Li Keqiang, a rising star in the Chinese leadership. Hong Kong’s vigorous press complained they were kept far away from Li during the few events they were allowed to cover. While such tactics are standard procedure in mainland China, Chinese leaders are usually more careful not to alienate freewheeling Hong Kong.

The heavy-handed security has served to heighten concern in Hong Kong that its autonomy is being eroded by a mainland government.

WEIRD NEWS

Airport security is nothing to sniff at What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

The U.S. attorney in Nevada says a German traveller was caught with more than a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of cocaine encased in more than 80 plastic pellets in his digestive system while trying to board a flight from Las Vegas to London.

Christopher Adiegwu was indicted Tuesday in federal court on a count of possession of cocaine with intent to

distribute.

Arraignment is set for Sept. 9.

He faces up to 40 years in prison and a $5 million US fine if convicted.

A local TV station reported that U.S. customs agents took note of the 43year-old’s suspicious behaviour at McCarran International Airport and thought he might be smuggling drugs.

KTNV-TV says after they searched him and didn’t find anything, they took him to hospital for X-rays, when the pellets were revealed.

He was given laxatives to pass the pellets.

Court records identify the man as a German citizen and native of Nigeria who was travelling under a visa waiver. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fall into Oscar season

The serious films of fall are replacing the breezy flicks of summer Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin weigh in on the Academy Award favourites

Richard: Mark, the silly season is pretty much over. That should mean an end to superhero stories, remakes, reboots and reimaginings and a beginning to Oscar season, right? It seems like the studios want to remind us of the balmy days of summer because it appears to me there’s still lots of silly stuff on the way. When I see movies like Paranormal Activity 3 and Johnny English Reborn on the schedule it feels like summer in October.

MB: Richard, come on, the theatre owners need to pay their rent. And that

means popcorn sales.

Which means sequels, remakes and all the rest. But have no fear! Leonardo DiCaprio will be donning the fat suit to play J Edgar Hoover. What could be more original — and weird — than that, unless it was Bob Dylan starring in a Ben Johnson biopic. Surely there’s some stuff coming up that has piqued your interest...

RC: Absolutely. Wedged in between remakes like The Thing are some Oscar contenders like Moneyball, Ides of March, and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy but I think the movie I’m most

excited to see is My Week with Marilyn. It’s the story of Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier and their tumultuous relationship as they made The Prince and the Showgirl. It’s the kind of turning the camera on itself that Hollywood does really well.

MB: That does sound good! I’m most excited about The Descendents, which pairs George Clooney and Alexander Payne, who directed Sideways, in a Hawaii location. I’m also jazzed about David Cronenberg’s new movie, A Dangerous Method,

which imagines a love triangle among Freud, Jung, and a hot female patient. Freud and Jung rarely are seen in the same movie, but Cronenberg’s got a lot of clout these days. Interestingly, these are all autumn releases. The Christmas slate looks kind of tepid to me. What do you think?

RC: Tepid! Not with A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas topping my Christmas list.

Looks hilarious. On the other end of the scale is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. If anyone can improve on the originals, it’s David Fincher.

Opening in theatres this Friday is Apollo 18, a found-footage film about what happened when two astronauts made a secret mission to the moon in December of 1973. Also opening in theatres is Shark Night 3D — from Snakes on a Plane director David Ellis.

“ONE OF THE YEAR’S

Genre: Drama Director: Larysa Kondracki Stars: Rachel Weisz, Monic Bellucci, Vanessa Redgrave 881

Positioned as a taught political thriller and moralistic tale, the Whistleblower tells the true story of one woman’s fight to expose a human trafficking ring facilitated

by UN staff in the aftermath of the Bosnian war.

The split perspective between Rachel Weisz’s titular American character and a young Eastern European girl forced into sexslavery gets distracting, though it emphasizes the atrocities at hand. The Whistleblower pulls few punches but the political coverup at the film’s centre never manages to fully grab the audience’s attention.

Mel, Oksana reach deal after two years in court Agree not to write books about each other

Trust fund for daughter ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

After nearly two years of squabbles in the courtroom and the press, Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva have reportedly reached a settlement in their custody battle over their one-yearold daughter, Lucia, according to Hollyscoop.

Gibson has agreed to pay Grigorieva $750,000, and he will also set up a trust fund for Lucia, who will continue to live with her mother in the multimillion-dollar home Gibson pays for for until she turns 18, at which point the home will be sold and the proceeds will be placed in the trust. Also, neither Gibson nor Grigorieva are allowed to write books about each other. METRO

A storm brews in Bermuda PETER ROCKWELL LIQUIDASSETS@EASTLINK.CA TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY

Believe it or not, sometimes I travel without a liquid reason — well, sort of. As you read this, I’m hanging out in a small pub in Bermuda with a large cocktail in hand.

Though there are lots of opportunities to buy wine on the island, fermented grape juice is definitely not the national drink. That spot is reserved for an indigenous version of rum, which is deep and dark, yet very wellrounded.

Gosling’s Black Seal (750 ml, $26.80 $32.99) has been making magic from sugar cane since 1806 and you can’t visit Bermuda without tasting the mixed drink madness that is a Dark ‘n Stormy. It’s a simple combination of one and a half ounces of Gosling’s Black and ginger beer (a soft drink with a much richer and sharper flavour than ginger ale). In a tall glass filled with ice, add the rum and top with the ginger beer. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge if (like me) you like a touch of citrus.

It’s a bright, spicy cocktail worthy of the British heritage of the island. PRICES REFLECT THE

sports Sports in brief

The Winnipeg Goldeyes won 3-2 Thursday night, taking Game 1 of their semi-final playoff series against the St. Paul Saints.

It was an absolute duel between the pitching staffs, as both teams battled for hits.

Ace Walker (104, 3.37 ERA) took the hill for the Fish and pitched a beautiful start. After allowing a single in both the first and second innings, Walker retired 10 consecutive Saints batters before St. Paul could muster another hit.

The best-of-five series continues Friday at 7 p.m.

Bombers coach Paul LaPolice predicts the Riders will battle hard on Sunday.

No easy Riders

CFL-leading Blue Bombers not taking 1-7 Saskatchewan lightly

It’s a tale of two teams at opposite ends of the football spectrum.

On one side, there are the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, a club sporting a CFL-leading 7-1 record and riding a five-game winning streak.

And at the other is a 1-7 Saskatchewan Roughriders squad that will be playing its first game since firing head coach Greg Marshall and offensive co-ordinator Doug Berry.

But despite the teams’ vastly different fortunes, the Bombers are wary of the Labour Day weekend meeting with their wound-

ed rival.

Winnipeg head coach Paul LaPolice and his players believe the Riders have three reasons to fight hard under the guidance of Ken Miller, who’s taken over the duties of Marshall and Berry.

Those reasons are jobs, hope and a deep fondness

for the returning coach. “Historically, players respond and react to those kind of changes because they understand that they’re next in line when it comes to the chopping block,� Bombers defensive tackle Doug Brown said this week. “It’s a high percentage of teams that win their next game after a major incident like the firing of a coach.�

Miller, 69, was Saskatchewan’s head coach from 2008 to 2010 before stepping down to become the team’s vice-president of football operations.

Before becoming Winnipeg’s head coach last season, LaPolice spent three years in Saskatchewan. He was the receivers coach in 2007 and offensive co-ordinator the following two seasons.

He predicts players will respond well to Miller’s return. “I know coach Miller is a very good coach and he’ll have them ready to play and they’re going to play very hard,� LaPolice said. “He’s going to give them hope and our job is to fight through that and make enough plays to win the game.� THE CANADIAN PRESS

Hockey world looks for answers after deaths A feeling of disbelief began giving way to introspection as the hockey world sought to come to terms with the loss of a third NHL tough guy in a matter of months.

Wade Belak’s apparent suicide in a downtown Toronto hotel and condo sent shockwaves through the hockey community, prompting the NHL and NHL Players’ Association to launch an immediate review of its programs to determine “whether concrete steps can be taken to enhance player welfare and minimize the likelihood of such events taking place.�

Belak’s death closely followed those of New York Rangers forward Derek Boogaard and Winnipeg Jets forward Rick Rypien.

However, unlike those men, the 35-year-old gave off no signs of trouble prior to being found dead on Wednesday afternoon. “From what I understand right now, there were no warning signs,� NHLPA special advisor Mathieu Schneider said Thursday in an interview. “Maybe we’ll learn something different over the next few weeks. But everyone that I’ve heard from so far is just in shock.�

Belak leaves behind wife Jennifer and daughters Andie and Alex.

The family will hold a private funeral service in Nashville on Sunday.
