Oilers lose in shootout
Devin Setoguchi scored in the fourth round of the shootout for Minnesota, spoiling a strong night by Edmonton goalie Nikolai Khabibulin. Ryan Smyth had the goal for the Oilers, who have lost 17 straight games to the Wild at Xcel Energy Center. Story, page 33.
RCMP are treating the death of a woman found at her Parkland County home just west of Edmonton early Thursday as suspicious. Police and EMS responded to the residence northeast of Spruce Grove at 53219 Range Rd. 265 around 6 a.m. to what came in as a 911 call, said RCMP Const. Barb Roy. A woman was found deceased, said Roy, who would not specify where on the property she was located. Two children and an adult male taken from the home are being cooperative, said Roy. “Anything’s possible at this time,” said Roy, noting there were no suspects in custody as of Thursday. “We don’t have a specific person we’re looking for.” Neighbours of the Grandview Estates residence were shocked to see RCMP officers there.
hurry, only a few riverside condos left!
“Everyone has been calling each other to see what happened,” said Tamara Slavik, who identified the woman who lives in the home as a teacher named Jill. “They are a really nice couple,” said Slavik, adding the pair also has a daughter and son in elementary school. Slavik said she finds the idea of a death just two doors away unsettling. “It makes me feel uncomfortable,” she said. Police could not say whether investigators believe others in the

Spruce Grove/Stony Plain RCMP members have called on the Edmonton Major Crimes unit and the K Division Forensic Identification Unit to help with the investigation. Investigators are interviewing neighbours, co-workers of the couple, and anyone in the home at the time, to determine what led to the woman’s death. The Grandview Estates home is across from Edmonton Springs Golf Course, where the body of Nina Courtepatte, 13, was found in April 2005.

Edmonton Oilers’ owner Daryl Katz, left, speaks with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman during an game in Edmonton this past February. Mayor Stephen Mandel, inset, is expected on Friday to share the results of a meeting he had with Katz and Bettman about a new home for the Oilers to replace Rexall Place in the latest attempt to resolve a four-year saga.
Politicians try to break Oilers’ rink logjam Sticking point is a framework struck last May between the city and the Katz Group The deal would see a $450-million rink built downtown With a deadline looming, politicians in Edmonton are to learn Friday whether their mayor has made progress in a fractious, polarized debate over a new rink for the National Hockey League Oilers. Mayor Stephen Mandel is to share with councillors the results of a meeting he had Wednesday with Oilers owner Daryl Katz and NHL commissioner Gary
Bettman in New York. Time has become a factor in the four-year debate over a new home for the Oilers to replace Rexall Place, the second-oldest rink in the league. Katz has sent out a public letter saying his option to buy the downtown land for the arena expires Oct. 31 — and if a deal is not done by then it could all fall apart. But one councillor says it will take a magic act to
figure out a way before November to rescue a straight-up business deal poisoned by ideology and petty personal attacks. “It’s gone off the rails in that those who are most for it or against it have really (become) entrenched,� Coun. Kerry Diotte said in an interview. The debate, he said, has become: “Katz is a billionaire so he can build it himself� versus “If you don’t
want to lose the Oilers you’ve got to sign on a deal at any cost.� Katz has never directly threatened to relocate the team, although he told councillors last year that the Oilers wouldn’t be playing at Rexall Place when the current lease expires after the 2013-14 season. He has since backed away from that.

Prints of thieves New $1.3-million fingerprint ID system points cops to criminals more often Shared mainframe gives Calgary and Edmonton police twice the print database SHELLEY WILLIAMSON
@METRONEWS.CA
Edmonton police are catching more bad guys thanks to new technology that detects and identifies suspects — a system they have had at their fingertips since February. “Generally speaking, our identification of criminals at crime scenes has increased by about 10 to 15 per cent,� said Sgt. Randy Topp of the forensic identification service section. Though most of the success has been in break-andenters, the Automated Fingerprint Identification System is also being used

Among the benefits of the new system is a clearer image of 1,000 dots per inch, which is “twice the standard,� he said. Also new is the capacity to make a match from a palm print, not just fingers. “When we get a fingerprint, it’s not always pristine,� Topp said. Rather than waiting for results, investigators can now take a print from a scene and have results almost immediately, with every member of the 28person section able to use it. “They may still have your property when we get to them,� Topp said.
Police have made up to 15% more positive identiďŹ cations of ďŹ ngerprints from crime scenes since they started using a new technology in Edmonton and Calgary. to identify suspects in sexual assaults and homicide cases, including some historical files. “We work very closely with the homicide unit,â€? Topp said, adding that the improved AFIS has helped police solve some of this year’s slayings.

Open dialogue needed on education: Native leader Some members of Edmonton’s aboriginal community say they are concerned about statements made by the chair of the Edmonton Public School Board. On Oct. 5, board chair Dave Colburn expressed disappointment in the results of some standardized achievement tests and Grade 12 diploma marks from the 2010-11 school year. He suggested one reason for the disparity in the grades is because the district has a “complex demographic� of immigrant,
refugee, aboriginal and special-needs students. Muriel Stanley Venne, chair of the Aboriginal Commission on Human Rights and Justice, said she was dismayed by the “singling out� and “emphasis� on aboriginals. “There are problems,� she said. “We want to solve them and want to address them.� Colburn said Thursday that he and Stanley Venne have had a conversation but no formal meeting has been arranged between them.

Baby who died in care named at mother’s request An Edmonton judge has removed a publication ban on the identity of a fourmonth-old baby girl who died in foster care. Delonna Sullivan’s mother, Jamie Sullivan, says she went to court so she could tell the world what happened to her daughter. “It was very, very important for me for people to see how happy and healthy my little girl was, you know, that she went from that to her being dead within six days after they took her,� Sullivan said Thursday, several hours after the court hearing.
Difficult case On a supervised visit, Jamie Sullivan noted her daughter, Delonna, had diarrhea and red marks on her face and was likely dehydrated. She asked that the child be taken to hospital, but the foster caregiver decided to wait a few days to assess the symptoms. Sullivan said she was not informed her baby was in hospital. She said she got a call about six hours after Delonna died.
Alberta law prohibits publishing the names of children and guardians in child-protection cases. But a lawyer representing the province did not oppose the application. Sullivan’s lawyer, Larry McConnell, says the judge decided that naming the girl was a matter of public
Details School boards receive a set amount of money from Alberta Education to address the needs of aboriginal students. A report slated for release this month will advise the Edmonton Public School Board on how to address some of its challenges.

interest. “It sets a good precedent for other mothers who find themselves in the same situation,� McConnell said. The infant died on April 11 in an Edmonton hospital, six days after she was taken by the province and placed in foster care. McConnell has said social workers were in the home to seize three children who belonged to her roommate and decided to take her baby as well. In sworn statements, the workers said they had concerns Sullivan was an alcoholic and the home was a health hazard, claims that Sullivan denies. She said she wants to know what happened to her baby. “Still nobody has told me anything about what happened to her, why she wasn’t taken to a doctor when we demanded her to be.� THE CANADIAN PRESS

Spruce Grove high school teacher facing sex charges 41-year-old who also coaches hockey charged with assault of a minor Incident doesn’t involve one of his students, school board says CONTRIBUTED

@METRONEWS.CA
RCMP have pressed sex-related charges against a Spruce Grove high school teacher. Robert John Paolinelli, a 41-year-old Stony Plain resident, has been charged with sexual assault, sexual exploitation and forcible confinement, RCMP Const. Barbara Roy said Thursday. Roy said the charges stem from an alleged incident that occurred in early October. She would not elaborate on the case, but did say that sexual exploitation is a charge associated with incidents when “a person in a position of … authority acts upon a young person for a sexual purpose.” “That confirms that our victim is a young person,” she said. Cindi Vaselenak, superintendent of Evergreen Catholic Separate Regional Division, said the alleged incidents occurred outside the school district and, therefore, “does not involve our students.” Paolinelli is a teacher at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School and has been suspended with pay, said Vaselenak. “Mr. Paolinelli has been removed from his teaching assignment pending the re-

Homeless advocates are preparing for what could be one of the top-two coldest winters in the last decade. According to AccuWeather.com, temperatures could dip two to three degrees below average. “What we focus on is … making sure there is 24-7 safe space in being warm and out of the elements,” said Susan McGee, executive director for Homeward Trust. The Winter Emergency Response Plan means extended hours for drop-in centres and a warming bus to connect people with shel-
ters. New this year will be increased communication with Edmonton Transit, McGee said. “People will ride most of the evening,” she said. “So we want drivers to know what (resources are) available.”
In the past, extra space has been leased to house the homeless on bitterly cold nights, but “the demand for that has gone down,” said McGee, noting shelter use has dropped. In 2010 there were 2,421 homeless counted — down 21 per cent from 2008.

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA
For women who have lost a breast to cancer, they’ve got a kindred spirit in Heidi
Werosta, breast cancer survivor and owner of Unique Boutique. This west-end store is the sole city supplier of the Been-A-Boob breast prosthe-
sis, which Werosta discovered on television’s Dragon’s Den while going through her own diagnosis and surgery in 2007. “It feels natural, comfortable and light. I got my first one and never looked back,� said the 66-year-old. Made of soft fabric with a pellet filling that imitates the weight and movement of a natural breast, the Been-A-Boob retails for $71, far less than traditional sili-
cone models. Werosta said she sells several every day, mostly through referrals from the Misericordia Hospital. This weekend, in celebration of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Werosta is hosting a Pink Party at her boutique, 14226 Stony Plain Rd., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A portion of all pink product sales goes to cancer research.

Occupy Halifax
United in protest
at Grande Parade Square Members will be taking their message beyond the designated area outside city hall to Halifax’s Nocturne festival, set for the same night, said Dylan Sagar, an administrator of Occupy Halifax’s Facebook page. Since the group sprung up at the beginning of October, its Facebook page has attracted more than 2,300 likes.
On Saturday, cities around the world will join the Occupy Wall Street movement Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening in Metro cities across Canada Occupy Edmonton
Occupy Vancouver
at Churchill Square In a statement, organizers say they are concerned about corporate interests’ effect on political institutions and public policy, along with putting profits above the well-being of communities.
at Vancouver Art Gallery “The movement in its core is peaceful,” said organizer Min Reyes. “It’s not a protest; it’s more of a gathering for people to talk and try and figure out how we can change our society.”
Occupy Winnipeg at Manitoba legislature building Organizers say the seven-hour walk through the city’s banking district is a call to action against corporate greed, corporate control and Third World living conditions in northern communities.
Occupy Calgary
Occupy Toronto
at Bankers Hall Organizers have set up a “safe camp” on St. Patrick’s Island, which, as of mid-week, had 50 residents and was continuing to grow. Police plan to bring in more officers if necessary, expressing concern anarchists could infiltrate the rally.
at Financial District Organizers have been haunted by last year’s crackdown on G20 protests. In a petition to Toronto Chief Bill Blair, signatories called on police to respect the rights of demonstrators. “The goal is public safety and facilitation of peaceful protest,” responded police spokesman Mark Pugash.
Occupy Montreal at Square Victoria “We will not be moved. We will not leave. We are the 99 per cent,” reads the group’s website. It advises bringing tents and warm clothes.
Occupy Ottawa

at Confederation Park “We’re hoping that there will be between 500 to 1,000 out and we can actually engage them in the demand-making process. It is very difficult to align everybody’s (points of view),” said Kevin Donaghy, one of the lead organizers, who said he himself will be advocating for greater protection of First Nations lands

Chow urges free prostate cancer testing across Canada

Layton was tested yearly, Chow tells conference in Halifax ALY THOMSON

@METRONEWS.CA METRO CANADA IN HALIFAX
Olivia Chow spoke of Jack Layton’s inspiring “hope” and “courage” at a prostate cancer luncheon in Halifax yesterday. More than 200 people sporting Prostate Cancer Canada’s signature blue striped ties, hats and handkerchiefs packed the room at Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel for an the annual Leaders’ Conference. “He felt very blessed to have the opportunity to speak out about prostate cancer, and to do so with a national stage — something he knew would help other men,” Chow told delegates of her late husband and former federal NDP
MP Olivia Chow speaks in Halifax Thursday.
leader, who passed away in late August. Chow, the MP for TrinitySpadina, applauded Nova Scotia’s free prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood testing program, the test that detects the cancer, and spoke of the need for the same system country-wide. Chow garnered multiple standing ovations from the
attentive crowd, and sparked more than a few eruptions of laughter. “We have a team of New Democratics determined to grow the best mustaches in town, and we call them our ‘New Dem-MO-cratics,’” she said, referring to next month’s Movember fundraiser that raises money for men’s health. All jokes aside, Chow said she hopes to help make this the best Movember in Canada’s history, and believes the legacy of her husband’s prominent and recognizable mustache will encourage that. When asked by an audience member the reasoning for concealing the illness that took Layton’s life, Chow said, “he didn’t want people to lose hope if they had that kind of cancer.”

PM supports updating royal succession A spokesman for the prime minister says Stephen Harper is in favour of modernizing the 300-year-old rules of succession for the Royal family. British Prime Minister David Cameron is seeking the consent of all 15 Com-
monwealth countries to change the rules for replacing the monarch. Currently, the eldest son is heir to the throne, bypassing older sisters in the line of succession. Cameron wants to make the eldest child, boy or girl,
the heir — full stop. Harper had previously expressed reservations about changing the rules of succession as recently as April, when he said reopening the succession debate was not a priority of Canadians. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Salvage of stricken ship resumes in N.Z. Good weather gives hope to crews looking to remove oil The Rena ran aground Oct. 5 on Astrolabe Reef The calmest weather in days gave salvage crews hope they would be able on Friday to resume pumping the remaining fuel from a cargo ship stuck on a New Zealand reef. The ship Rena has already spilled hundreds of tons of oil, and crews are in a race against nature to try and remove the remaining fuel before waves break up the vessel, which has begun to crack apart and is leaning on a 22-degree tilt. Last week crews removed about nine metric tons of oil before the weather forced them to postpone salvage attempts. Environmentalists have warned of a disaster for
wildlife if all the ship’s 1,700 tonnes of oil and 200 tonnes of diesel is allowed to spill into the ocean. Nick Bohm, a spokesman for Maritime New Zealand, which is managing the emergency response, told The Associated Press Friday that crews are “relatively positive” they can proceed with plans to board the vessel and begin pumping oil to a nearby barge. He said pumping should begin Friday afternoon in an operation that could last several days. Bohm said there are stronger winds forecast for the weekend, which may hamper the operation. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Charges laid The ship’s 44-year-old Filipino captain was charged Wednesday with operating a vessel in a manner causing unnecessary danger or risk and was released on bail Wednesday at Tauranga District Court. The ship’s second officer appeared in the same court Thursday on the same charge. If convicted, each could face a fine of up to 10,000 New Zealand dollars ($7,800) and 12 months in prison. Their next court appearance is Oct. 19, when authorities say more charges are likely.
People try to empty a container that unloaded debris after it was washed up on Mount Maunganui beach Thursday morning from the Liberian-flagged container ship Rena, which is stuck aground on a reef off the coast of Tauranga, New Zealand.

A tail thrashed back and forth and the water churned around him as if a depth charge had gone off. “It was pretty terrifying just seeing the shape emerge out of nothing and just being under me,” he told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “And the fin coming out of the water. It was just like the movies.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Niblack’s experience was rare, though not unprecedented, according to Ralph Collier, president of the Shark Research Committee in Canoga Park, Calif. He said he spoke to a woman who was kayaking off Catalina Island, Calif., in 2008 when a shark slammed her kayak from underneath and sent her flying into the air. She then landed on its back, he said.

Suspected gunman escalates dispute Unidentified man stops by Air Canada executiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home with what appears to be a handgun Labour Minister Lisa Raitt closes her constituency office in Milton, just outside of Toronto, after receiving threats The labour dispute between Air Canada and its flight attendants has taken a menacing turn after a suspected gunman made a late-night appearance near

Docs want students trained in CPR Emergency medicine doctors are calling for a national strategy to help boost the survival rate of Canadians who suffer a cardiac arrest outside hospital, including mandatory CPR training for all high school students. In a statement Thursday, the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians said people whose hearts stop due to cardiac arrest in the home or a public place are three to four times more likely to survive if given immediate â&#x20AC;&#x153;bystanderâ&#x20AC;? CPR. But CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is performed in only about one-quarter of such cases. Even doubling that response rate would save an estimated 2,000 lives each
year, said the CAEP, calling it unacceptable that vast numbers of witnessed cardiac arrest victims do not receive bystander CPR. To increase the pool of Canadians trained in the technique, compulsory CPR education should be implemented in high schools across the country and certification â&#x20AC;&#x153;should be a pre-requisite for a graduating student to earn a high-school diploma,â&#x20AC;? the position statement says. More than 20,000 Canadians have out-of-hospital cardiac arrests each year, with 85 per cent of cases occurring in residential dwellings. Less than 10 per cent survive. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Iceland eyes volcano Rumblings have experts worried about another, more severe eruption
Earthquakes around Icelandic volcano Katla mean an eruption could be imminent, say experts.
If Iceland’s air-trafficparalyzing volcanic eruption last year seemed catastrophic, just wait for the sequel. That’s what some experts are saying as they nervously watch rumblings beneath a much more powerful Icelandic volcano — Katla — which could spew an ash cloud dwarfing the 2010 eruption that cost airlines $2 billion US and
drove home how vulnerable modern society is to the whims of nature. Brooding over rugged moss-covered hills on Iceland’s southern edge, Katla is a much bigger beast than the nearby Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which chugged ash all over Europe for several weeks in an eruption that local scientist Pall Einarsson describes nonetheless as “small.”
Katla’s last major eruption in 1918 continued for more than a month, turning day into night, starving crops of sunlight and killing off some livestock. The eruption melted some of the ice sheet covering Katla, flooding surrounding farmlands with a torrent of water. Now, clusters of small earthquakes are being detected around Katla, which
means an eruption could be imminent, seismologists say. “It is definitely showing signs of restlessness,” said Einarsson, a professor of geophysics at the University of Iceland. At the aptly named Volcano Hotel in Vik, co-owner Margaret Brigisdottir is watching warily. “It has been 100 years,” she said. “The time is coming.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Record term for insider trading Among the companies man profited from were Google, IBM, Hilton Hotels
Wiretaps helped police break case JIN LEE/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A former billionaire described by the U.S. government as “the modern face of illegal insider trading” was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison, the longest insider-trading sentence ever but far short of the two decades sought by prosecutors. Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam also was fined $10 million US and ordered to forfeit $53.8 million by District Judge Richard J. Holwell, who said he concluded that Rajaratnam made well over $50 million in profits from his illegal trades. “His crimes and the scope of his crimes reflect a virus in our business culture that needs to be eradicated,” Holwell said. “When the integrity of the marketplace is called into question, the public suffers.” The sentence eclipsed by one year the prison term given to one of Rajaratnam’s co-defendants just weeks ago. The Sri Lanka-born Ra-
Big bucks Assistant U.S. Attorney Reed Brodsky said Rajaratnam made up to $75 million in illegal profits from insider trading since at least the late 1990s. The U.S. government has said he switched so much money around within his multibillion-dollar funds that the movement of price in individual stocks could be traced to his trading whims.

Canada’s merchandise trade deficit widened in August as import growth outpaced exports in response to softening U.S. demand and a strong loonie, but analysts saw a positive side to Thursday’s report from Statistics Canada. The raw numbers were mildly negative and in line with expectations following a big exports surge in
July. Merchandise imports grew 0.7 per cent, while exports rose 0.5 per cent, taking Canada’s trade deficit to $622 million in August from a downwardly revised $539 million in July. In volume terms, when currency fluctuations are factored out, exports declined 1.1 per cent, the

Air Canada flight attendants and their supporters protest outside federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt’s constituency office in Milton, Ont., on Thursday.
Union actions unfair: Air Canada Labour unions accuse Harper government of ‘trampling’ workers’ rights Air Canada demanded compensation Thursday from the union representing its 6,800 flight attendants, accusing it of bargaining in bad faith. The airline, which did not specify how much it was seeking, said the Canadian Union of Public Employees did not do enough to encourage the ratifica-
tion of two tentative deals that were negotiated but later rejected. In the unfair labour practice complaint to the Canada Industrial Relations Board, Air Canada accused the union of increasing its demands during its latest round of bargaining and misrepresenting what its members would accept.
“CUPE made these representations to Air Canada without having conducted any formal surveys of its membership,” the airline said. Jeff Taylor, president of the Air Canada component at CUPE, said he believed the deal reached with the airline, under the threat of back-to-work legislation,

The union cancelled the strike Wednesday after the dispute was referred to the CIRB, effectively quashing the job action.

Warren Buffett is bringing his fight to raise taxes on the super-wealthy to the U.S. Congress’ deficit-reduction supercommittee.

RIM backs its delay BlackBerry services returned to normal Thursday after four days of global outages, but the maker of the smartphone faces a new set of challenges as it tries to clean up a public-relations headache. Research In Motion’s two co-CEOs — Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie — emerged from more than three days of silence to answer questions and apologize again about the biggest outage in the Canadian company’s history.
RIM offered only a few updates while a growing number of BlackBerry users turned to their Facebook and Twitter accounts to express their frustrations. The company has about 70-million BlackBerry subscribers worldwide, and while the technical glitches did not affect everyone, discontent spread fast. RIM has now stepped into territory commonly known as crisis management. Balsillie defended RIM’s decision to wait until

Bauer Sports still packs punch Demand for company’s sports gear grows by double digits Economic slump has no effect on bottom line Bauer Performance Sports Ltd.’s shot at international growth will not be deflected by a renewed economic slowdown, as demand for its hockey equipment grows by double digits, its chief executive said Thursday. Kevin Davis said his company, which went public in March, has continued to grow market share, revenue and profits since the 2008-09 recession. That’s because kids in all corners of the world continue to play the sport he admits is expensive, despite
the hit it takes on parents’ pocket books. In its most recent quarter, Bauer’s revenue shot up by 29 per cent to $142.4 million US and orders booked for the just-started hockey season are up 32 per cent. Davis doesn’t expect another economic slump in the U.S. or Europe to affect demand for Bauer’s skates, hockey sticks, helmets and other equipment either. In fact, he sees Eastern Europe, the U.S. and Russia as Bauer’s biggest market opportunities.

FOOTLOOSE! KICK OFF THE SUNDAY SHOES! THE METRO LIST
1
Footloose remake: Starting Friday, you gotta cut loose, footloose, kick off the Sunday NEIL MORTON shoes, because the remake of METRO 1984’s music drama Footloose is out. It’s about a big-city kid who moves to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned. So ... please, Louise, pull me off of my knees! Jack, get Mack, come on before we crack! Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose! Save a high school: PCVS, a historic downtown high school in Peterborough, Ont., founded in 1827 that counts Lester B. Pearson, Sean Cullen, Serena Ryder and Jim Balsillie as alumni, is fighting through public protests, petitions and YouTube videos to keep its school alive after the local school board recommended that it close. Shutting down an inner-city arts school with culture and heritage will have a significant impact on the economy and fabric of a downtown in a small city. Forget Footloose, this is real-life drama. Winnipeg Jets: Yes, the Jets are flying again after a 15-year hiatus, with a star-studded home opener against Montreal Sunday night that included our PM, George Stroumboulopoulos, and Jim Cuddy and Chantal Kreviazuk singing the national anthem. The Jets might have lost the game, but they won the nation over and their home crowd of 15,000, which gave them a thunderous ovation at game’s end. Welcome back. Ping-pong hip: SPiN Toronto, a new 12,000-squarefoot basement ping-pong bar in downtown T.O., had its grand opening this week. It’s trying to mimic the success of one of the same name (which it’s part of) in Manhattan, part owned by Susan Sarandon. SPiN is a place to drink, play ping-pong and socialize. Just watch: The next big fad will be pool tables in every basement in the world. Next to a beer fridge. Ron MacLean’s Cornered: The hockey broadcasting icon’s new memoir, Cornered, went on sale this week, and offers inside accounts from his early days as a part-time radio announcer and weather forecaster in Red Deer to his time hosting Hockey Night in Canada. Sounds promising, but they should have just called it Coach’s Corner and let Don Cherry write the prologue and epilogue. Rosie’s new crush: Rosie O’Donnell is back — four years after leaving The View and a decade since ending her successful daytime talk show — with The Rosie Show, which debuted this week on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Thankfully, it appears she’s not resuscitating her infatuation with Tom Cruise. That’s so ’90s. Apparently her new boy crush is Russell Brand. That’s more 2011. Lee Harvey Oswald’s lover: Judyth Vary Baker is making a rare public appearance next week in Toronto to mark what would be Oswald’s 72nd birthday. Baker, author of Me & Lee: How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald, has been trying to clear Oswald’s name. Her take: Lee was an undercover agent who had penetrated a ring determined to murder President John F. Kennedy and was actually trying to prevent it but instead got framed. So, JFK conspiracy buffs, there you go.

Worth mentioning She’s a 40-year-old mother of eight, with a ninth child due soon. The family homestead in a Burundi village is too small to provide enough food, and three of the children have quit school for lack of money. “I regret to have made all those children,” says Godelive Ndageramiwe. At Ahmed Kasadha’s prosperous farm in eastern Uganda, it’s a different story. “My father had 25 children — I have only 14 so far, and expect to produce more in the future,” says Kasadha, who has two wives. He considers a large family a sign of success. By the time Ndageramiwe’s ninth child arrives, and any further members of the Kasadha clan, the world’s population will have passed a momentous milestone. As of Oct. 31, according to the UN Population Fund, there will be seven billion people on Earth. Experts say most of Africa — and other highgrowth developing nations such as Afghanistan and Pakistan — will be hard-pressed to furnish enough food, water and jobs for their people.

Synopsis
2
Ren (Kenny Wormald) is a big city kid forced by circumstance to move to the small town of Bomont, Ga., where dancing is outlawed. Ren, a former gymnast and dancing fool, challenges the law, butts heads with the local preacher (Dennis Quaid) and falls in love with the minister’s daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough). Will the town lift the ban? Will the love birds ever get to break dance in public?

Country-fried fun
Footloose redux grittier than expected, with stars Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough shining on the dance floor But in the end, it’s still full of cheese
Richard: Mark, Footloose is grittier than you would imagine a movie starring Ryan Seacrest’s girlfriend to be. The slickness normally associated with contemporary teen fare is mostly missing here, replaced with the steamy Southern feel that permeates director Craig Brewer’s other films. You won’t hear a line like, “You’re sexier than socks on a rooster,” in any of the Twilight movies. Mark: Yes, Richard, the best thing about the movie is its authentic country-fried details. It doesn’t condescend to its blue collar characters and that’s to its credit. I thought the original was
dated way back in the ’80s. Now, in an Internet world, the town that banned dancing would have been ridiculed all over America and the American Civil Liberties Union would have filed suit immediately. And why did the town ban teen dancing when the real problem was teen drinking? RC: Because then the movie would have to have been called Intervention, and that’s a whole different story! Rebooting a wellloved classic is a tricky business. There are slight changes, Ren is now from Boston instead of Chicago, the tractor game of chicken from the original is now a
bus race and the dancing has been updated but the upbeat rebellious core (and most of the songs) of the ’84 movie is intact. MB: Speaking of dancing, I wish there had been more of it. The first dance scene in the parking lot had nice energy, Kenny Wormald’s solo when he dances off his anger in the warehouse was riveting, but then it takes a long time to get to the big finale, which I thought was a dud. The movie should have gone craaaaaaazzzzzy at that point, but everyone, including the choreographer, was on their best behaviour. And what did you think of the acting?
RC: I thought Wormald and Hough shone the brightest when they are in motion on the dance floor— which isn’t often enough — but Miles Teller as Willard (played by Chris Penn in the original), Ren’s dance-challenged best friend steals the show on and off the dance floor. MB: You could not be more right. Teller has the looks and presence of a young John Cusack. And only Dennis Quaid could take the thankless preacher role and imbue it with a sense of humanity. But in the end, it’s still a cheesy flick, even if this remake takes it from mild to medium cheddar.

See it twice 88888 | See it now 8888 | Worth watching 888 | Yawn 88 | Don’t bother 8 The Thing Genre: Horror Director: Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. Stars: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton 881
Classic sci-fi thriller The Thing gets its first makeover in nearly 30 years in this updated prequel about a replicating alien killing off stranded scientists in remote Antarctica. While the film delivers serviceable respect to John Carpenter’s 1982 version with exemplary use of scenery, effects and a strong lead in Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Final Destination 3), the outcome is relatively predictable and the plot points somewhat transparent. STEVE GOW
The Big Year Genre: Comedy Director: David Frankel Stars: Jack Black, Steve Martin, Owen Wilson 8811⁄2
Take ambition, intrigue, passion, backstabbing, dastardly deeds and greed on a massive scale, add laughs, set it in the world of competitive bird watching and you have The Big Year. Audience faves Black, Martin and Wilson embark on the yearlong competition to score the most species sightings, in a strangely fascinating, insightful and funny road trip and gets added credit for having the guts regarding the whole bird watching thing. Frankel brings Marley-and-Me heart and The-Devil-WearsPrada sass to this unexpected gem, based on Mark Obmascik’s book.
Machine Gun Preacher Genre: Action Director: Marc Forster Stars: Gerard Butler, Michelle Monaghan 88
Machine Gun Preacher is, if nothing else, a cautionary tale for other filmmakers: Just because your source material is inherently captivating and thrilling doesn’t mean your movie will be by default. The film takes the harrowing true story of Sam Childers and re-
duces it to a plodding, by-the-numbers biopic strangled by its own chronology. And the source material is pretty impressive: Childers, an ex-con and recovering drug addict, finds Jesus and heads to Africa for some missionary work. But when he’s confronted with the horrors of war-torn Sudan, he launches his own crusade to rescue orphaned children, becoming a folk hero and target for rebel forces. NED EHRBAR

The Three Musketeers return but this time in 3D Movie ‘doesn’t take itself seriously’: Orlando Bloom That explains the giant airship ANTHONY JOHNSTON
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN LONDON
“All for one, and one for all!” — that ageless motto, evoking 17th century swashbuckling Frenchmen, sounds its familiar jingle yet again with the release of a new The Three Musketeers. This time, however, we get “action fresh and modern for the younger audience”, according to director and co-producer Paul W.S. Anderson, the man behind the Resident Evil saga. “I felt that every generation ought to get its own version of The Three Musketeers — one that reflects of that particular decade,” he says of the 1844 classic by Alexandre Dumas. So in essence: a new cast, some peppy dialogue and novel visual effects — all in trending 3D. Anderson’s “stellar ensemble cast” has some degree of critical acclaim: Logan Lerman, who leads as D’Artagnan, is coming-ofage in Hollywood, having appeared in Percy Jackson; the world-weary Musketeers are played by Matthew Macfadyen (Pride & Prejudice), Ray Stevenson

(TV’s Rome) and Luke Evans (the upcoming Immortals); and Anderson’s wife and cult favourite Milla Jovovich is triple-agent Milady de Winter. Among the bad guys, Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) plays the conniving Richelieu, and onetime A-lister Orlando Bloom appears as the dastardly Duke of Buckingham. D’Artagnan and his buddy Musketeers must protect the King of France from those two maniacs. “The movie doesn’t take itself seriously,” Bloom confesses. “This is a pop culture, tongue-in-cheek, irreverent, fun, ‘go buy a big bag of popcorn and take a trip’ version of the movie. It’s not a historically accurate retelling of The Three Musketeers that the novelist wrote.” Bloom’s devious Duke, with his hyperreal pompadour coif and garish frillnecked outfits, seems an

epitome of the movie’s selfcaricature. Even the Musketeers prefer to guzzle booze than spruce themselves up for action. “I don’t know why we didn’t get the theme music from [the ’80s cartoon] Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds — instead we got [British pop stars]
Take That,” Macfadyen jokes. “What’s more, I had a pang of jealousy for Orlando’s costumes.” “All for one, and one for all — it does exactly what it says on the tin,” says Bloom, adding: “and it’s in 3D, and it has a gigantic airship.”

the TV talent competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I do know if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not yourself, it will just come off as hollow. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not there to play a role. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m there to be me.â&#x20AC;? The show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which begins filming auditions across Canada next week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; features amateur entertainers of all kinds vying
for fame and fortune. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spinoff of the successful British version that launched the career of Susan Boyle. An American version has also been successful. Short â&#x20AC;&#x201D; best known for his comic turns on SCTV and Saturday Night Live â&#x20AC;&#x201D; says he was attract-
ed by the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premise of discovering new performers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For so long, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asked why there are so many talented Canadians. Is it something in the water?â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there are a lot of talented Canadians. And to see them at
the start of their careers like this is very thrilling.â&#x20AC;? Short says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been lucky in that he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had to audition much himself. He says a stint in a celebrated Toronto production of Godspell in the early seventies really got his career rolling. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent will
also provide Short with the opportunity to see parts of Canada heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never seen before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halifax Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to. Surprisingly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been to Halifax.â&#x20AC;? Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent premieres on Citytv in March. IAN JOHNSTON GETTY IMAGES

Filmmaker strikes Shakespearean vein
CONTRIBUTED
MATT KIELTYKA
Documentary
@METRONEWS.CA METRO CANADA IN VANCOUVER
Wiebo’s War opens on Oct. 21 at the Metro Cinema.
William Shakespeare would have a field day with Wiebo Ludwig. Equally vilified as a terrorist and hailed for his long-standing battle against oil and gas giants, the reclusive preacher at the centre of David York’s new documentary, Wiebo’s War, is as interesting, complicated and flawed as a protagonist gets. In fact, York uses King Lear to describe the notorious man suspected of the 2008 EnCana pipeline bombings. “I am a man more sinned against than sinning,” York recited at the Vancouver International Film Festival last week. “He’s a conflicted family man. What he was doing in his struggle was trying
Wiebo Ludwig will be in attendance on Oct. 22.
to defend his family and his land. “You can’t judge somebody until you get a sense of the pressures they’re under and that became the purpose of the film … to give the audience a means to arrive at their own judgments, to see if they’d be sympathetic and to think about what they’d do if they were in that situation.” It wasn’t long after York started filming his portrait that a new string of bombings surfaced and the Ludwig family was once again thrust in the middle of a police and media storm. The access afforded to
Weibo’s War
the filmmaker allowed York to capture Ludwig — everything from his faith, and motives to the horrific health effects nearby drilling has had on his family — in a way that na-
tional news headlines simply couldn’t convey. “My picture of him is completely at odds of the current affairs version of him that everybody knows,” said York. “He’s a
human being, and so am I, and so are you.” Whether the actions of this particular human being are right or wrong are ultimately left open to interpretation.
Wiebo’s War opens theatrically in major Canadian cities starting this week. The film will also tour “oil patch” communities affected by drilling.

Like you and many other people, I too struggled with my weight. I have spent the past 15 years losing the diet battle and each time felt like I failed and let myself and my family down.

Due to my personal experience and knowledge, along with having the best Surgical Teams in Canada, U.S.A and Mexico, I have started Weight Loss & Beyond, Edmonton’s Newest Full Service Surgical Weight Loss Consulting Company.

SALUTE THE UNSUNG HEROES OF ROCK ’N’ ROLL SOUND CHECK ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA
I
here are some names that are also just as important to the history of rock — but in a different way.
f anyone asked you to list some of the great heroes of rock ’n’ roll, you’d probably come back with names like Elvis, Lennon and Cobain. All completely legitimate responses, yes. But
George Beauchamp
Most people credit Les Paul with having something to do with the invention of the electric guitar — and
he did. But the original props must go to Beauchamp, who invented an electrically-amplified guitar in 1931 and began selling models with the help of the Ro-Pat-In Corporation the following year. The first documented performance featuring an
electric guitar was in 1932 using one of Beauchamp’s Electric Spanish models. Hugh Le Caine
An atomic physicist by vocation, Le Caine ended up in Ottawa working with circuits that could tame electricity and turn it into sounds. By the mid-’40s, he had constructed an apparatus that made music using a piano-style keyboard. Very cool — but calling his invention The Electronic Sackbut wasn’t a great marketing move. Grady Martin
During a session in Nashville in 1960, Grady’s guitar amplifier suffered a sort of meltdown. Instead of sounding clean and pure, his guitar sounded fuzzy and distorted — but in a cool way. With the help of some engineers, Grady came up with a foot pedal that could summon this fuzziness on demand. It became known as a “fuzz pedal” and gave guitarists a way to make their instrument sound powerful and menacing.
Super fast. Super thin. Superphone.
Del Casher
Not too long after Grady Martin discovered the power of fuzz, Del — who played guitar for everyone from Lawrence Welk to Frank Zappa — discovered a circuit made by the Thomas Organ Company called a midrange boost. Fiddling with it produced the same sort of effect as a trumpeter or trombonist using a mute over the horn. Adapting it to a foot pedal, he gave one to Zappa who gave it to Jimi Hendrix. He used it to great effect in Voodoo Chile in much the same way Eric Clapton featured it in Cream’s White Room. Guitarists have been using wah-wah pedals ever since. Jim Marshall
Marshall ran a music shop in London. When guitarists started demanding more powerful amplifiers, he started building them. Marshall Amplifiers are now standard dream gear for guitarists everywhere. Oh, and did I mention that Marshall was a drummer? GETTY IMAGES

Ashton Kutcher is reportedly “expecting” Demi Moore to file for divorce after Sara Leal went public with details of her night with the Two and a Half Men star, according to Radar Online. “Ashton is absolutely gutted. Ashton had confessed his sexual relationship with Sara to Demi after it happened,” a source says. “She’s currently consulting with divorce attorneys. Ashton doesn’t want her to file for divorce, and is hoping they can work it out. However, Ashton expects that Demi will likely file. Ashton was hoping that Sara wouldn’t give any in-

Complement Chinese food PETER ROCKWELL LIQUIDASSETS@EASTLINK.CA
TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY
Even though it’s been making wine since around 5,000 B.C., as a culture China’s always been about the food, so its population never embraced the art of combing liquids and solids with the enthusiasm of their counterparts elsewhere. Since Chinese food is a combo of sweet, sour and spicy, finding wines to work with everything on your plate is about as easy as keeping a straight face when someone tells you he or she likes the Charlie Sheen-less Three And A Half Men. My pick is something soft with a touch of residual sweetness like a German riesling. Off-dry sparkling and rosé wines work, too. If you want the hottest Asian food marriage, fill your glass with Moscato. Originally Italian, American upstarts like the non-vintage Barefoot Moscato ($7.99 - $11.99) take all the round, lightly-sweet fruit of the muscat grape and massage it into a perfectly plush, tropicallyinfluenced (and not too boozy) companion for any Chinese menu.

The family behind The Lingnan restaurant, and stars of the The Quon Dynasty, share their Black Bean Chicken recipe It’s a fave at the eatery
Loved by its customers, the Lingnan restaurant in Edmonton is cosy and elegant but quaintly out of date. The Quon Dynasty follows the family’s adventures through a realm power struggles, sibling rivalry and egg rolls.
Black Bean Chicken This recipe has been popular at the Lingnan since the 1970s. The family makes its own black bean garlic sauce, but you can find it at any good Chinese grocery, and even at some regular supermarkets. Black bean sauce is popular in Cantonese cooking. Try adding a teaspoon or two to your own stir-fries. And, if you enjoy this recipe, try substituting beef or shrimp for the chicken, or try different vegetable combos. Chinese cooking should be fun!

WILD
OILERS
Devin Setoguchi scored in the fourth round of the shootout, spoiling a strong night by Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin and sending the Minnesota Wild to a 2-1 victory Thursday night. Khabibulin was nearly impenetrable, standing firm during a third period in which the Wild outshot the Oilers 15-1. Matt Cullen, who had the only goal for Minnesota in regulation, scored first in the shootout before Khabibulin denied the next two shooters. Ryan Smyth had the goal for the Oilers, who have lost 17 straight games to the Wild at Xcel Energy Center. They lost all six to Minnesota last season, getting outscored 23-9. After converting only one of nine power plays on their two-game road trip this week, losing to the New York Islanders and dropping a shootout decision to Ottawa, the Wild

went 0 for 3 in regulation and had a prime 4-on-3 chance in overtime after Taylor Hall’s hooking penalty. But they fired off a lot more passes than shots during those precious two minutes, and Khabibulin and the Edmonton blueliners were in position and tough enough to fend it off.
That came right after Khabibulin kicked aside a backhander by Marco Scandella after he slipped free in the Edmonton zone. Khabibulin made 34 saves. Injuries and inexperience kept the Oilers at the bottom of the NHL both of the last two years, but this budding team — the last playoff appearance was the
2006 Stanley Cup finals — has finished the reconstruction project with consecutive first-overall draft picks of Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Nugent-Hopkins had a goal in the home opener, a shootout win over Pittsburgh, and the two young stars are playing together on a promising line. The Oilers have some
important players hurt, including centre Sam Gagner and defenceman Ryan Whitney with ankle injuries, but with Smyth, their popular former captain who was acquired during the summer in a trade with Los Angeles, back on the roster they seem to have a little more confidence. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Crosby takes big step toward return Sidney Crosby is one final step away from returning to the NHL. The Pittsburgh Penguins captain shed the white nocontact helmet he has worn for nearly a month and was a full participant in a morning skate Thursday after being cleared to absorb hits in practice for the first time since sustaining a concussion in January. Crosby still must show he can handle contact with no concussion-related problems before he can play in games but, after being
symptom free for weeks, he admittedly is “excited” to be closer to returning. “It’s a good step in the right direction,” said Crosby, sweat still pouring off his face following the halfhour practice. “It’s a big step. ... We’ll see how things go.” The Nova Scotia native didn’t throw any checks or accept any as the Penguins mostly skated and went through shooting drills in advance of Thursday’s game against the Washington Capitals. Still, Crosby said he won’t be reluctant

to instigate contact when he does practise. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said there is no firm timetable for Crosby’s return to games. Neither Bylsma nor Crosby dropped any hints whether
it might be mere days or a few weeks. “But I don’t think it’s hard to be patient at this point,” said the 24-year-old Crosby. “I’m getting closer and I want to make sure I respond well in the next however long it is.” Crosby must show he can handle any and all contact without a recurrence of any of his previously suffered symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, an inability to concentrate, and sensitivity to loud noises or bright lights.

Practice shortage Sidney Crosby can now take part in every phase of practice, but the Penguins aren’t practising much. They’re beginning the season by playing six games in 10 days and eight in 13 days. Coach Dan Bylsma might have to create some contact-heavy drills especially for Crosby, who said no drill can replicate what occurs in a game.
