Making Jack-o’-lanterns

Calgary police leaders are planning to pitch justice ministerturned-Premier Alison Redford on the benefits of a provincial funding injection in hopes of boosting rank-and-file officer rosters, Metro has learned. Sources familiar with recently wrapped police budget consultations say efficiencies have been found within the service to account for a $10-million budget trimming from the city, but lawenforcement brass remain determined to bump up service levels. The City of Edmonton, grappling a record homicide rate, has suggested that provincial help may be required to fund increased police recruits, and that could mean Calgary is also in line for more cash.

Deliberations. City officials will make preliminary plans for municipal budget deliberations public Nov. 9. Gang activity. Calgary police have managed to clamp down on city gang activity and consistently reduce crime levels despite having one of the lowest cop-to-population ratios in Canada.

Calgary Police Association president John Dooks said recent projections suggest the service would ideally need to hire and properly train an additional 170 officers over the next 3-4 years. “I have great confidence in this current premier, so if there is the ability to (boost funding) I

think she will do it,” Dooks said. Jonathan Denis, Alberta’s newly appointed solicitor general and minister of public security, could not be reached for comment despite inquiries made over two days. A spokesperson speaking on his behalf said budget discussions were ongoing and that the minister recently met with Calgary police Chief Rick Hanson. Ald. Shane Keating, the newest member of the Calgary Police Commission board, said he is willing to lead appeals for the funding and advocate for better partnering of law enforcement provincewide. “There are courthouses, RCMP and city police,” he said. “I can’t see why we can’t work in co-operation where they are sharing facilities ... once you start developing those relationships things will work well together.”

Friends report former gang associate missing Calgary Police are looking for information in the disappearance of a current University of Calgary student with former gang ties. Police say friends reported 24-year-old Leon Li missing Oct. 21, saying he had not been seen nor heard from since Oct. 19. At this time, the circumstances around Li’s disappearance are unknown, though Calgary police spokesperson Kevin Brookwell said they are concerned about his welfare considering his “highrisk” past. “When we found out who he was, what his background is — his highrisk lifestyle — and the fact he is involved or connected to one of two known street gangs in Calgary, that elevated our concern a little bit,” said Brookwell. “We have to keep an open mind to any possibility.” Li is described as fivefoot-seven tall, 165 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Police say he has numerous tattoos on his chest, right arm and abdomen. DARREN KRAUSE

@METRONEWS.CA

Occupy Calgary demonstrators in the downtown core have already caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage and that figure will continue rising, a city official said Thursday. Since Oct. 15, a group of activists calling for systemic change have slept in tents at Olympic Plaza. The city initially granted the group some freedom to do so, but now estimates it will cost at least $40,000 to repair environmental damage at the popular site. Calgary Emergency Man-

agement Agency spokesperson Tom Sampson said officials are currently seeking legal advice over a juxtaposition of city bylaws, which prohibit camping the Plaza, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which grants freedom of peaceful assembly. “We would rather talk than get into an altercation,” he said. Speculation swirled earlier in the week that police may attempt to forcibly remove the demonstrators early Thursday morning to make room for maintenance workers. Instead, it appeared crews were forced

CITY’S BIGGEST SCARE HAPPENS ALL YEAR ROUND IN DEFENCE OF MIKE MORRISON METRO CALGARY

This weekend, Calgary will come alive with thousands of little ghosts and goblins looking to scare up their share of tricks and treats. The chance to dress up as a ghost or witch and get free candy is what makes Halloween one of the best times of year to be a kid in Calgary. But for us grownups, the thrills and chills of living in this city aren’t relegated to a single weekend. Being a Calgarian can be just like living in your own haunted house. There are the obvious scary things about Calgary. The price of parking, any street that starts with a name of animal and ends with the name of a body part, people who wear melons on their heads, the fact that there’s substantial support for a political party even more right-wing than the Conservatives and the moms at Market Mall. Trying to find a table at the Higher Ground can be scary. For some, dating in this city is frightening. Why do all the single peo-

“Being a Calgarian can be just like living in your own haunted house.” ple seem to live in the suburbs or have the dreaded 587 area code? Then again, if Nenshi admits to having trouble dating, there’s probably no hope for me … I mean, everyone else. Also terrifying is the number of drivers still using their cellphones to talk or text. Although I do enjoy watching as they try to sneak a text in at night; the glowing crotch is usually a dead giveaway. I posted on Twitter the question of what scared Calgarians the most. The unanimous answer was our dreaded traffic circles. A horror movie about Mackenzie Towne’s traffic circle could inspire countless sequels. Then again, this is the city where drivers choose their lanes miles before they even have to start thinking about turning. But there’s perhaps nothing scarier than the never-ending construction delays. Even after a summer full of sun, warm winds and nary a raindrop, many of Calgary’s construction projects are still delayed. Yes, I’m looking at you, Memorial Drive. I’m not sure who is to blame for this, but their lack of sympathy is what’s really terrifying.

Confusion a common thread over Calgary’s first bike box Cyclists appreciate the intersection-control measure but many are confused over its proper use Motorists continue to ignore signage, creating potential safety hazard for cyclists riding the two roadways JEREMY NOLAIS/METRO

JEREMY NOLAIS

@METRONEWS.CA

Calgary planners are already looking at painting more bike boxes on city roads, but it seems much confusion remains over use of the intersection safety device. As part of a new cycling initiative on 10th Street Northwest, a bike box was put in at the intersection of 5th Avenue earlier this month. The street has also seen cycling-designated lanes added in both directions. The painted blue zone allows cyclists to turn right off the busy street and ride to the front of traffic waiting at a red light on 5th. From there, cyclists can turn back onto the street at the head of the pack, allowing for an easier left hand turn onto 4th Avenue, an important commuter artery. “By the time they get to 4th Avenue, there should be no oncoming traffic,” said city transportation engineer Blanka Bracic. Cyclists speaking to Metro Thursday expressed appreciation for the city’s effort. But only one of five could properly articulate how to use the bike box. “That is so cool,” said

Antonina Riserbato is seen Thursday in front of Calgary’s ﬁrst bike box at the intersection of 5th Avenue and 10th Street Northwest. A car seen behind her is illegally stopped over the box while waiting at a red light.

Antonina Riserbato after learning of its proper use. “I think it’s genius. I hope all of these cycling features stick around.” Motorists also seem to be confused. Over the course of 30 minutes Thursday, a dozen vehicles came to a stop over the bike box and two even drove through it and made a

righthand turn on a red light. Both actions are prohibited. “Proper signage will be installed in the area soon,” Bracic said. She added that engineers are already making plans to add a bike box on another northwest route, but was unwilling to specify which one.

Skiing before Halloween finally here CANDICE WARD @METRONEWS.CA

the first ever in Alberta to open before Halloween, Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest mountain makes skiing history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are giving people the most skiing and riding possible,â&#x20AC;? said Matt Mostellar, spokesperson for Nakiska Ski Area. Mostellar credits the history-making opening to new snow-making enhancements to the hill. The hill will only be open on weekends until the regular schedule begins in December.

Premier to lobby Washington on XL oil pipeline LARRY MACDOUGAL/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Alberta Premier Alison Redford says she will travel to Washington within the next two weeks to push for a proposed oil pipeline that will carry oilsands crude to Texas. In an interview with a Fort McMurray, Alta., radio station (CFVR), Redford says she wanted to go shortly after she was sworn in as premier earlier this month to lobby the U.S. government to approve the TransCanada Corp. Keystone XL pipeline. But she says she was advised by the Canadian ambassador and several

Mount Royal University is paying tribute to past sacrifice by paving the way for future accomplishment. On Nov. 8, 27 students will be presented with $2,500 bursaries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one for each alumnus killed during military service â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during the institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Military Memorial Ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remind Canadians, and in this case students, that their country was built on a tradition of sacrifice,â&#x20AC;? said retired Gen. John de Chastelain, a former chief of Canadian defence and Mount Royal alum who is serving as honorary chair of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though war is not glorious at all, those who took part in wars and were injured or killed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their actions were glorious and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth remembering them,â&#x20AC;? Gen. de Chastelain said. The project comes as part of Mount Royalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centennial celebration and honours the efforts of soldiers in conflicts over the course of 102 years. The most recent Mount Royal alum killed in action was Cpl. Nathan Hornburg, who died in 2007 while on patrol in

Cindy Degrace had trouble finding a doctor after moving to Edmonton from New Brunswick.

Albertans used to playing the waiting game It takes patience to become a patient, and Albertans looking for a family doctor know it. Chris Petersen began looking for a physician in Calgary more than two years ago. “I wanted something near where I work and live, something in the southwest,” he said. “Nothing was available.” Eventually he found a doctor taking new patients through a newspaper ad, though sometimes it’s about who you know. “My friend is a drug rep. That’s the only way I was able to find a family doc

New generation of doctors choosing family medicine over medical specialties

More medical-school graduates at the University of Alberta and University of Calgary are ranking family medicine as their ﬁrst choice for residency and career.

Staying West Most med-school graduates from Edmonton and Calgary almost always stay in Alberta, says the

Patiently waiting Albertans may soon have better access to a family doctor. The University of Alberta and the University of Calgary are seeing a rise in medical-school graduates choosing family-medicine residencies. In 2003, 17 per cent of U of A med-school graduates chose family medicine. Last year, nearly 43 per cent did. In 2008, 18.4 per cent of U of C grads preferred it, a number that rose to 23.2 per cent last year. “Into the ’80s and ’90s, attitudes changed,” says Dr. Rick Spooner, chairman of the U of A department of family medicine. Spooner himself graduated in the ’70s when “family medicine was prestigious.” “Specialties brought income. Lifestyle became more important,” he says. “We’re seeing another change in attitudes of

Areas in Edmonton have 17 doctors for 100,000 people, Spooner says, while one in four Calgarians used to be without. “We’re starting to see movement on this, but I don’t want to stay where we are,” Keegan says. “That’s not where our citizens need us to be.”

Seven billion and counting ... The Earth can feed our exploding population, and feed it well But it can’t feed our way of life ELISABETH BRAW METRO WORLD NEWS

On Oct. 31, the world’s 7,000,000,000th resident is expected to make an entrance. The United Nations Population Fund has invited every country to designate one “seven billion baby” whose arrival will be feted. But the milestone is hardly cause for celebration. The UNFPA says the world is adding 78 million people a year, with 97 per cent of that growth in developing countries. Scientists project food and water shortages and other disasters.

“One Donald Trump does more damage to the Earth than 50 million Indian slum dwellers.” DAVID SATTERTHWAITE

“But the population growth in itself isn’t a problem,” says researcher David Satterthwaite of the International Institute for Environment and Development. “The problem is the consumption that the growing population will engage in. The Earth can feed seven billion people, and they will live well. But it can’t cope with seven billion people who all want to drive cars and travel by plane.”

In fact, new research suggests the world can easily feed its population. “We can even feed nine billion people, and do so sustainably,” says Johan Rockstrom, an expert on natural resource management at Stockholm University. “Increasing grain yields would solve 50 per cent of the projected food shortage. We should also stop feeding primary foods like grains to animals and eat it ourselves.” Driving less, eating less meat: The Earth’s well-being would be good for our waistlines, too. And, Satterthwaite says, “we can’t tell China and India’s growing middle classes to change their behaviour if the West doesn’t.”

How the Earth got to seven billion It took 19 centuries for humankind to reach one billion. Now our planet’s population has been growing faster and faster. It took only the past 11 years for Earth to go up by another billion. Humans breed like rabbits, and then some: there are more of us than there are long-haired mammals.

Freedom or birth limits? Since 1950, average life expectancy has risen to 69 years from 48. During the same period the average number of children born to each woman has fallen by 50%, from five to 2.5 children. The average woman in Japan, Russia and most of Europe gives birth to 1.5 children, while the average woman in many African countries has five. China has curbed growth with a one-child policy, but demographers dismiss such a solution for other countries. “It’s absolutely not an option,” says Ralph Hakkert of the UNFPA. “Countries should give people greater opportunities for choice on their reproduction, not impose penalties.”

Watchdog sees red over spying plan Provisions allowing authorities access to Internet information without court approval raise concern PAUL SAKUMA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The federal privacy watchdog says government plans to make electronic surveillance easier for police and spies must include stronger public protections. In a letter to the public safety minister, Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart warns against simply resurrecting a trio of previous federal bills to expand surveillance powers. Stoddart tells Vic Toews these pieces of legislation, which were never passed, endangered privacy. “In brief, these bills went far beyond simply maintaining investigative capacity or modernizing

and search and seize digital information about individuals.” The issue, which has arisen periodically since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, pits the desire of intelligence and law-enforcement officials to have easier access to information about people online against the individual’s right to privacy. Toews wasn’t available Thursday to discuss the coming legislation. However, his office said the government will strike an appropriate balance between necessary investigative powers and the protection of privacy. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Nine injured in small plane crash Nine people were rushed to hospital after a small plane slammed into a city street just outside Vancouver’s International Airport. Alyssa Polinsky, a spokeswoman for Vancouver Coastal Health, said three people were rushed to Vancouver General Hospital in critical condition, while three more were listed as stable. She said another three people were taken to Richmond General Hospital close to the airport with injuries that are considered non-life threatening. The plane burst into flames shortly after it crashed as it attempted to return to the airport.

Thailand PM calls for residents to leave affected areas Close to 400 people have died so far in the flooding Clambering aboard bamboo rafts and army trucks, residents fled waterlogged homes on the outskirts of Thailandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital on Thursday as floods that have engulfed a third of the country inched closer to downtown areas and foreign governments urged their citizens to avoid unessential travel to the threatened city.

Most of Bangkok remained dry and most of its more than 9 million residents were staying put to protect their homes. Still, uncertainty over the capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate and the start of a government-declared fiveday holiday fueled an exodus of people fearing the worst who clogged highways and air terminals to get out of town.

Tears welling in her eyes, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra acknowledged her government could not control the coming deluge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing today is resisting the force of nature,â&#x20AC;?

Two quake miracles

Friday: Boy, 13, pulled from debris after 108 hours Thursday: 18-year-old emerges from 4-day ‘tomb’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two astonishing rescues have stirred relief workers’ hearts in the aftermath of Turkey’s devastating earthquake. Early Friday, rescuers working under floodlights pulled a 13-year-old boy alive from the rubble of a collapsed apartment building — more than 100 hours after the massive quake levelled many buildings in eastern Turkey. A picture by the staterun Anatolia news agency showed a rescue team in Ercis carrying Ferhat Tokay out of the debris, wearing a neck brace. In other pictures from a field hospital, he appeared conscious and looking at his rescuers. Tokay’s rescue came 108 hours after the quake. The agency said the boy was injured but did not give further details.

Thursday: Rescuers carry a teen to safety.

Hundreds died More than 530 people were killed in the 7.2magnitude quake that struck Sunday. Thousands of survivors are homeless as rain and snow bring on more hardship.

On Thursday, TV footage showed a rescue team cheering and clapping as another young man, wearing a red sweater and strapped to a

stretcher, was also carried out of the debris. His eyes were shut but he opened them at one point. The Anatolia agency identified the man as 18year-old Imdat Padak. Padak was flown to the nearby city of Van and was dehydrated, but in good condition. Emergency officials said 187 people have been rescued from the rubble. About 2,000 buildings have been destroyed THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jari Lompolo, a Finnish 20year-old, has plenty of friends. But he rarely talks to them. Instead he types. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I send about 50 text messages per day, and send Facebook messages,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only call them if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something urgent.â&#x20AC;? You can probably relate. You have friends you text, ones you email, some you call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New media platforms are providing greater freedom for decisions about who to converse with, what those conversations are about, where and when conversations can happen, and how to have them,â&#x20AC;?

notes Gabriel Harp, research manager for Technology Horizons at the Institute for the Future. But the migration to the keyboard poses a danger, warns Sherry Turkle, a professor of social sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teenagers want the control that comes with texting or being able to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;composeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; an instant message. This means that they are learning how to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;performâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a profile, as an avatar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not (how to) respond to the give-and-take of conversation.â&#x20AC;?

Ford trips over F-word Toronto mayor lashes out after CBC team ambush him at home

In this TV frame grab, Rob Ford is ambushed by Mary Walsh, in character as outlandish Marg Delahunty.

Toronto’s larger-than-life mayor has landed in another controversy. Mayor Rob Ford used profanities when he called 911 after a CBC-TV comedy

crew confronted him in his driveway. Reports said Thursday Ford asked the emergency operator: “Don’t you (expletive) know? I’m Rob (ex-

pletive) Ford, the mayor of this city.” Ford, who said he has had death threats, admits being frustrated at the police response time.

“After being attacked in my driveway, I hope I can be excused for saying the F-word,” Ford said, adding: “I was very upset.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Web scoured for tips on killing, court told HIGH SCHOOL UPGRADING Jennifer loves being around people, but serving coffee 12 hours a day at minimum wage isn’t her idea of fun. Without a high school diploma, though, she knows that’s where she’ll be for a long time to come. Scary as it is, Jennifer knows it’s time to get more serious…

Jennifer wanted MORE out of life

…and finish school. Jennifer asked around and found out that Bow Valley College, along with offering more than 50 career programs, is a leader in high school upgrading. She knows that with her GED she’ll have more opportunities for better jobs and might even go to college for career training. She picked up the phone and called the Program Coordinator, filled out her online application and is now on her way to discovering just how capable she really is. The instructors and the caring Learning Success Services staff are helping Jennifer realize that with the right education and the right attitude, she’ll not only succeed at finishing high school but she’ll get way more out of her life.

Days before three teenage sisters and their father’s first wife were found dead in a submerged car, someone was searching on the family computer for tips on murder, a court heard. Const.

OWSers rally around Olsen Police to probe incident where Iraq War vet suffered fractured skull

In this Oct. 25 photo, 24-year-old Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen lies on the ground bleeding from a head wound after being struck by a projectile during an Occupy Wall Street protest in Oakland, Calif.

The Iraq War veteran who apparently suffered a fractured skull in clashes between police and anti-Wall Street protesters felt so strongly about economic inequality that he left his apartment each night to sleep alongside the demonstrators, his roommate said Thursday. Scott Olsen, 24, joined the protests in San Francis-

“He felt you shouldn’t wait until something is aﬀecting you to get out and do something about it.” KEITH SHANNON, ROOMMATE

co and Oakland after his day job as a network engi-

neer, Keith Shannon said. The police action in at least two U.S. states this week has put other Occupy protest camps across the U.S. on edge. It’s not known what object struck Olsen during Tuesday’s clash. The group Iraq Veterans Against the War said police were responsible. Olsen has become a ral-

lying cry, with demonstrators in the original Occupy Wall Street camp in New York City marching in support of their counterparts in Oakland and a movement website declaring, “We are all Scott Olsen.” In Las Vegas, a few dozen protesters held a vigil for him. A handful of police officers attended. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers have hired their own lawyers and will seek an injunction to stop the wheat board from proceeding.

On Wednesday, wheat board chairman Allen Oberg made good on his promise to go to court to fight the legislation introduced last week.

The federal government may need two more years to balance its budget than it originally predicted, says a new analysis that takes into account weakening economic conditions. During this springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election campaign, the Harper government announced it would be able to balance the budget in 2014-15, thanks to a new cost-cutting initiative intended to find $11 billion over four years. But the TD Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s analysis taking into account new, more subdued growth projections for the economy suggests that even if Ottawa books all the savings from departmental cuts, it likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough.

Two more years TD Bank calculated that Ottawa is likely to still be $5.2 billion in the hole in 2014-15, and will record a $1.8-billion deficit the following year. The surplus in 2016-17 will be an equally tiny $2.5 billion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The private sector consensus is for a more modest economic profile for Canada relative to where things stood,â&#x20AC;? at the time of the budget, the bank said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the absence of any new fiscal restraint measures, there is a risk that the federal government will return to budgetary balance in 2016-17, two years later than previously

Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty says Ottawa is on track to balance the budget â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the medium term.â&#x20AC;?

estimated.â&#x20AC;? Whether Finance Minister Jim Flaherty meets the hard target may be more a political prerequisite than an economic necessity, given that at the end of the planning horizon the annual shortfalls in the TD calculations represent a mere 0.3 per cent and 0.1 per cent of the size of the

economy, respectively. By comparison, the 2009-10 deficit was 3.6 per cent of GDP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The size of the deficit is so small as a share of the economy, it really is not a source of concern,â&#x20AC;? said TDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief economist Craig Alexander, who met with the minister earlier in the week.

Air Canada has filed an official notice of dispute with the federal government to get conciliators involved in labour negotiations with its pilots, in an effort to accelerate a second round of talks. The carrierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2,900 pilots rejected a tentative agreement by a two-to-one margin in May. Last week, the pilots proposed a date to resume talks later in the fall, but the Montreal-based car-

rier caught the employees off guard by filing the notice Wednesday. Pilots association president Capt. Paul Strachan said they had been working over the past six months to prepare proposals for a new negotiated settlement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are disappointed that Air Canada has chosen to escalate the situation before we returned to the bargaining table,â&#x20AC;? he said in a statement.

AMBUSHED, BUFFALOED AND TIPSY THE METRO LIST 1 NEIL MORTON METRO

Rob Ford “ambushed”!: Toronto’s mayor dialed 911 Monday morning after he was the “victim” of an early-morning “ambush” by Mary Walsh from CBC’s satirical show “This Hour Has 22 Minutes.” Dressed as her alter-ego character Marg Delahunty, Warrior Princess, she came to Ford’s home to ask about his sinking polls. Ford’s brother Doug hadn’t heard of Margaret Atwood, so maybe he hadn’t heard of Mary Walsh? Or satire?

Phil Kessel: If you’re looking for a bandwagon to jump on right now Leafs Nation, try Phil Kessel’s. The Toronto Maple Leaf right winger is off to a blazing start and leads the NHL in both goals and points. Things are going so well for him — finally — that he’s decided to join the Twitter universe (@pkessel81), and already is nearing 30,000 followers.

Steve Jobs biography: Steve Jobs, a just-released biography of the Apple co-founder by Walter Isaacson, says Jobs came up with the company’s iconic name while he was on a diet of fruits and vegetables, on his “fruitarian diet.” Jobs thought the name sounded “fun, spirited and not intimidating.” I’m naming my next company Bananas.

You’re Not Alone: With suicide being the second leading cause of teen deaths in Canada, Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences (OntarioShores.ca) has introduced a wonderful new adolescent mental-health-awareness curriculum. It’s being piloted at 17 high schools in Ontario to encourage adolescents with mental-health concerns to get help. Let’s hope this “You’re Not Alone” campaign spreads to all schools.

The Cult of Lego: The new coffee-table book The Cult of Lego is for Adult Fans of LEGO, or AFOLs, who have a borderline obsession with these colourful plastic bricks. It’s an inside look at the community of serious adult LEGO fans and builders, and the scale replicas they’ve done, from a 80,000-brick T. Rex skeleton to micro-scale versions of landmarks like Yankee Stadium. I’m holding out for a Tonka Truck collector’s book.

Buffalo in Toronto: This Sunday, Canada gets another taste of what it would be like to have an NFL franchise, when the Buffalo Bills play a “home” game against the Washington Redskins at Rogers Centre. While the response to this Bills series in TO has been largely indifferent in recent years, it should be much fuller for the re-energized 4-2 Bills than it’s been for Argos games this year. The “Argooooos” are 4-12.

Best inexpensive vinos: A new book with the great title Unquenchable: A Tipsy Quest for the World’s Best Bargain Wines was released this week by renowned Canadian food writer Natalie MacLean. It’s based on her worldwide adventure to wineries and vineyards in the search for the best value bottles. I’ll be reading it over my bottle of 1811 Château d’Yquem. I wish.

Sandra Day O’Connor made her mark in history as the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, but she’s still a hardworking cowgirl at heart, she said Wednesday. An exhibit about her life opens this week at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, a tribute to the 30th anniversary of her appointment to the high court. “It is odd that a cowgirl ended up on the court, isn’t it?” she said Wednesday, joking that her 1981 nomination by president Ronald Reagan stemmed from his own love of ranching. “Probably because I had grown up on the back of a horse, he had more interest in me than other candidates.” O’Connor, 81, an El Paso native, spent summers on her family’s Arizona ranch. She said her time on the ranch taught her responsibility and how to solve problems on her own. “Cowboys don’t spend a lot of time telling you things. They just expect you to get things done and done right,” O’Connor said. “But it’s a great way to grow up.”

WEEKEND, OCTOBER 28-30, 2011

Synopsis With a plot that mixes themes from history and Shakespeare’s plays, Anonymous uses the backdrop of the struggle for succession between the Tudors and the Cecils as the Essex rebellion moves against Queen Elizabeth I (Vanessa Redgrave) to set the scene for the debut of Shakespeare’s plays. But were they actually written by Shakespeare? The movie supposes it was Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford (Rhys Ifans), who penned plays attributed to William Shakespeare.

scene Scene in brief

Pageantry geeks will swoon for the production design in Anonymous.

To see, or not to see

Anonymous stumbles in places, but there’s plenty for theatre buffs to swoon over

Richard: Mark, this is a sprawling story with many twists and turns. The downside is the film’s sketchy casting. In flashbacks the queen and Edward appear to be the same age, but later after a major twist, are revealed to be 16 years apart. This kind of lack of attention to detail makes it difficult to follow the story in the first hour. Soon enough, however, all the players are straightened away and the pleasures of the story take hold. MB: Sorry, but is the authorship of Shakespeare’s plays a burning issue for anyone? Whenever they try to make Shakespeare ‘sexy’

I want to hurl. And yet, there were a lot of things to like about the movie. Pageantry geeks will swoon for the production design, theatre buffs will groove to the re-creations of the Elizabethan stage, and middle age women will get hot flashes at all the bodice ripping. But why was the story so hard to follow? RC: It’s hard to follow because it assumes we know the political history and can juggle an abundance of powdered wigs with royal titles, many of whom kind of look alike. Having said that though, I think Ifans is terrific here. A little of him usually goes a long way but he’s doing

some here.

interesting

work

MB: Is it racist to say that all British fops in the same facial hair look alike? I hope not ... You’re right about Ifans — he’s the soul of a very messy movie and anchors it with his sad eyes. Lots of good acting, (David Thewlis, Joely Richardson, and Sebastian Armesto as Ben Johnson) and lots of good overacting, too, from the rest of the cast. One of the things that will jolt most viewers is the way Shakespeare himself is portrayed — as a murderous, scheming, illiterate; so antithetical to our reverence for the man that I found it quite un-

nerving. RC: I don’t think Anonymous has much to do with historical fact — there is no real life evidence that the Earl of Oxford penned the plays — it’s just a palette for a twisted tale about how politics and art intersect, and the written word’s ability to instigate change. MB: I know that’s what the movie aims for, but it doesn’t quite pull it off. There are two stories here: one is a literary biopic, the other a political thriller, and they don’t exactly mesh. But I think it’s a movie that would become clearer after a second viewing.

The truth is out: Prince Charles says he is related to Vlad the Impaler, the cruel 15th-century Romanian warlord who helped inspire Bram Stoker’s 1897 vampire novel Dracula. He makes the comments on an upcoming TV show to promote his interest in protecting the forests of Romania’s Transylvania region. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Rum Diary Genre: Drama Director: Bruce Robinson Stars: Johnny Depp, Giovanni Ribisi, Aaron Eckhart 811

Puss in Boots Genre: Animation/Comedy Director: Chris Miller Stars: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek 8111⁄2

A spin-off of the Shrek series, Puss in Boots returns Antonio Banderas to the character he was born to voice. An outlaw cat with Latin attitude, Puss seeks Down the Road Again Genre: Drama Director: Donald Shebib Stars: Doug McGrath, Kathleen Robertson 811

With most of its original living cast intact, this belated followup to Goin’ Down the Road sees Pete

out riches in magic beans that grow into that fabled giant beanstalk that leads to the goose that lays golden eggs. While the plot and forced parody of fairy tale folklore could use some refinement, most characters, slick animation and the Zorro-like adventure keep Puss purring along. STEVE GOW

(Doug McGrath), now a retired postie in Vancouver, charged with ushering the ashes of his old pal Joey all the way to the East Coast in the same battered car they put miles on in the first film. Road works, mainly because Shebib is heartfelt. CHRIS ALEXANDER

On paper, the Rum Diary sounds like a can’t-miss film: Johnny Depp taking on another semi-autobiographical Hunter S. Thompson character, with counterculture director Bruce Robinson coming out of a long and happy retirement to bring it to life. Unfortunately, there wasn’t an equally impressive editor on board to keep the two in line as they pay tribute to the late Thompson. Based on a manuscript left hidden

in the author’s attic until he and Depp found it and decided to publish it, the Rum Diary is a bit all over the place and unpolished as a book. And it appears a reverence for Thompson kept the filmmakers from addressing those problems in the transition to the screen. NED EHRBAR

In Time Genre: Action Director: Andrew Niccol Stars: Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried 81⁄2

He may be able to sing and dance but Justin Timberlake is no movie star and In Time is proof of that. A scifi thriller that stalls in the

opening minutes, In Time attempts to posit a future where time is literally money. While hotel rooms will cost months off your mortality in the future, this heavy-handed Twilight Zone-like spectacle will only cost you about 2 hours — but even that won’t be worth it. STEVE GOW

Murphy, Stiller live up to tall order in Heist HEIDI PATALANO

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN NEW YORK

It’s hard to believe that two of the most prominent figures in modern comedy, Eddie Murphy, 50, and Ben Stiller, 45, hadn’t crossed paths before their most recent release, Tower Heist. But not surprisingly, the two were anxious to work together for this movie, which was largely improvised. “The comedy comes out of the characters so for me, I wasn’t looking to see how funny I could be,” Stiller says. “And then of course when you have Eddie Murphy in the movie, it takes a lot of the pressure off. I was really happy he was in the film. I never look to be funnier because that just doesn’t work. Does that make sense?” Stiller pauses in front of a packed room of journalists mocking himself with an imaginary headline. “Stiller: Not Looking to be Funnier. Maybe he should,” he says. Murphy had the original idea for Tower Heist years ago, though it’s since been given a very timely twist. It centres around a Bernie Madoff-like businessman (played by Alan Alda) who swindles his employees out of their pensions. Angered by the fraud, some rogue vigilantes out of the group de-

vise a plan to steal the money back. Given that the ‘Occupy’ movement persists in the U.S. and elsewhere, Stiller noted the connection between the film and the headlines. “I think there’s a lot of frustration out there that’s valid and that’s probably what the Occupy Wall Street is an expression of,” he says. “There’s a lot of frustration in terms of where we’re at in this economic situation and so I understand where it’s coming from.” But don’t get them wrong. Tower Heist is no grim exploration of dire economic times. With the ensemble cast that includes Casey Affleck, Matthew Broderick, Michael Pena and Gabourey Sidibe, there were many spontaneously hilarious moments in the film.

“(Director Brett Ratner) whispered to the (director of photography) ‘dim the lights!’ And then, all of a sudden, Gabourey’s top is oﬀ”

Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy work together for the ﬁrst time in Tower Heist.

EDDIE MURPHY RECALLING A SCENE SHOT WITH PRECIOUS STAR GABOUREY SIDIBE

Filming in New York Since this film centres around a prominent Central Park building, Stiller commented on the most noticeable contrasts between L.A. and New York. “I think what you notice when you’re in L.A. is that you don’t have to deal with the elements. Jerry Seinfeld said to me recently, ‘I like living in New York because it’s harder.’ He likes that. He likes that you have to deal with the winter and just life is a little bit tougher. It’s more in your face. I think that’s something that shapes who New Yorkers are. There’s a lot of people in one place and I think that’s a really good thing too – where people have to interact with each other on a daily basis”

Memories of dodging the dinos Ariana Richards, who played Lex in 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park, recalls her time on the Spielberg set fondly HO-HIGHROAD.COM/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Though nearly two decades have passed since Ariana Richards was chased through rain-drenched Hawaii by fearsome animatronic dinosaurs, her memories of the ‘Jurassic’ era are startlingly clear. For instance, she remembers striding into Steven Spielberg's office as a preteen, her hair in a ponytail tucked under an L.A. Dodgers baseball cap, to receive the news that she had been cast as plucky Lex Murphy in the popcorn blockbuster Jurassic Park. “He was really approachable and friendly.... I was actually a little bit surprised when he decided to offer me the role. And I was so excited.” And Richards, now 32 years old with a new career, is tickled that the popularity of the film has endured

as long as her memories. Based on a Michael Crichton novel, Jurassic Park was a veritable sensation upon its release in 1993. The film — about an ultra-rich philanthropist who constructs an amusement park filled with cloned dinosaurs on a remote island — became the highest-grossing film ever at the time. Richards estimates that for roughly 80 per cent of her scenes, she was acting opposite actual dinosaur models. And given the demanding nature of her role — a mix of screaming and scurrying, with the bevy of toothy beasts sending her golden-locked teen traipsing through a variety of unpleasant situations — that meant for a fairly arduous shoot. “We were often covered

character, and she still gets recognized by “Jurassic” fans with surprising regularity. “Most often, it's when my hair is kind of relaxed and (I'm wearing) really light makeup and somehow, maybe I just get the look that reminds people of Jurassic,”' she said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

T-rex time!

Ariana Richards, left, portrayed resourceful computer whiz Lex in Jurassic Park.

in fake mud, it was wind machines blowing on us and rain machines pelting down on us for weeks. I was so involved in the role and working with Steven and this team ... that I didn't really care. “And in fact when it comes to the physicality of the role, I even wanted more. I actually would al-

ways ask to do all my own stunts.” Richards points out with pride that her character in the film was not simply the shrinking, shrieking damsel-indistress type so common in action and sci-fi blockbusters, but instead a brave, resourceful computer whiz who managed to

maintain a cool head and an eye on her little brother even while, say, being stalked by a pair of ravenous raptors in a cramped kitchen. She suggests that's why the role has resonated with so many people. She says she received loads of fan mail from film-goers who were inspired by the

Return of the reptiles Jurassic Park is being re-issued — along with its two sequels — on Blu-ray in a box set that includes a bundle of fan-service special features, including a sixpart documentary featuring new interviews with many of the creative minds behind the series.

great Sesame Street 5celebrity appearances Being Elmo documentary opens this month in select theatres Here’s a look at the famous faces who have hung out with our favourite childhood friends The documentary Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey opens this week, about every toddler’s favourite red monster and the man who brings him to life, Kevin Clash. One of the joys of watching Clash in action — besides marvelling at how effortless he makes it all look — is seeing how seamlessly he relates to both children and adults. And the segments he does with celebrities, as Elmo learns a lesson or explains a new word, are among his best. So here’s a look at five of the greatest celebrity appearances over the four-plus decades Sesame Street has been on air. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SESAME WORKSHOP/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Stevie Wonder performs Superstition (1973):

Ricky Gervais sings a lullaby to Elmo (2009):

Lena Horne sings Bein’ Green with Kermit the Frog (1974):

Johnny Cash sings Nasty Dan to Oscar the Grouch (1974):

This clip is so delicate and yet so powerful. It’s a classic Sesame Street song with its poignant message of self-acceptance. But here, Horne sympathizes with Kermit, who looks so lonely and forlorn at the beginning of the song in Jim Henson’s masterful hands. By the end, he’s singing along with her, having taking the lyrics to heart: “It’s beautiful, and I think it’s what I want to be.” Horne made several appearances on Sesame Street, and this performance exemplifies her beauty and grace.

Can you imagine a more perfect collaboration than this? With a knock of his black guitar on Oscar’s rusty, dented trash can, Cash sings a song that’s music to the grouch’s ears. Oscar is transfixed by such lyrics as: “He’d growl and yell and I heard tell he never took a bath.” At the end of the song, Cash deadpans, “Have a rotten day,” and he’s off with the same quiet cool he had when he arrived. Cash showed up a few times on Sesame Street but this one stands out because it’s quirky and strangely sweet.

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts explain the word exchange with Elmo (2011):

This sort of thing doesn’t happen on Sesame Street anymore. Sure, they have plenty of top artists perform all the time. But this is young Wonder at his thrilling best, singing one of his most enduring songs with a full band behind him, and the energy is just incredible. The kids play maracas on the stairs and rock out on the fire escapes. Plus, the clip is nearly seven minutes long — which would be unheard of today on any type of TV show — and it even features a shout-out to Cookie Monster.

“[LUDWIG’S] UNDENIABLE CHARISMA AND THE UNRESOLVED QUESTION AT THE PIC’S HEART . . . KEEP AUDS HOOKED.” – VA R I E T Y

A great example of how Clash skillfully straddles the line between appealing to kids through Elmo’s innate sweetness and making adults laugh with more knowing, playful humour. When Elmo has trouble falling asleep at night, Gervais shows up with a guitar to sing him a lullaby about the letter N. The song starts out with harmless words like nice, nuzzle and nightcap, but it gets noisy as Gervais cranks it up for the chorus. He is, as always, hilarious. But also be sure to notice the variety of expressions Clash coaxes out of Elmo’s furry, red noggin.

Schreiber, Watts and Elmo have various toys to trade with each other, but the running gag is that Schreiber keeps getting nudged out, and he becomes increasingly exasperated. It’s funny as Schreiber and Watts, who are a couple in real life, are just so cute together — he’s over six feet tall and she’s petite and they have this fuzzy, red puppet bopping around in between them — but also because they’re serious actors doing a scene with purple balls and stuffed ducks.

The Young Werewolves aren’t a Halloween novelty. Since 2002, the Phillybased band has been pumping out a punky brand of rockabilly. We checked in with front grrrrl (pardon the puns) and bassist Dana Kain for her ultimate Halloween playlist, and she didn’t disappoint. If you resort to Monster Mash after this, we’re siccing our new friends on you.

These spooky tracks are perfect for Halloween.

We can cherry-pick anything out of our catalog, but this was the first song we learned together during early auditions. The lyrics got changed a couple of times during the process. It’s from our debut CD, currently out of print.

This track oozes spookabilly garage-ness.

Classic Halloween horror punk. There’s no better way to start the night off. Crunchy guitars, mad vocals, driving rhythm.

Ginnifer Goodwin’s fairy tale comes true Actress lands magical role of Snow White in ABC’s new hit TV series Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time, a beautiful actress won the role of fairy-tale heroine Snow White in an enchanting new series. Not only that, but the actress scored a parallel

role. She would also play schoolteacher Mary Margaret Blanchard, a present-day transformation of Snow White who, thanks to a curse by the Evil Queen, is trapped in the

village of Storybrooke, Maine, with fellow fairytale folk – all of whom have forgotten their pasts as storybook characters and, now stranded in the artifice of real life, been

denied every fairy-tale character’s birthright: the promise of a happy ending. The actress, of course, is Ginnifer Goodwin, whose series, Once Upon

Also starring on the show are Josh Dallas, Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle, Jared Gilmore and Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, a Boston bail bondswoman who is drawn into the mystery of Storybrooke (and who turns out to be Snow White’s long-lost daughter). Once has arrived alongside NBC’s Grimm, which, inspired by Grimm’s classic fairy tales, pits a homicide detective against mythological creatures living among humans in his Portland, Ore., hometown. It premieres Friday at 9 p.m. Eastern. The series opens with Prince Charming awakening the poisoned Snow White with a kiss. That was on last week’s premiere (which drew a fantastic 13 million viewers, even up against Fox’s World Series and NBC’s Sunday Night Football). Much to Goodwin’s surprise, Mary Margaret (whose pixie haircut is the style Goodwin has sported for years beneath the wigs other characters obliged her to wear) has proved to be far more demanding than Snow White to play. “I’m used to building a character based on that character’s life experi-

ences,” she says. But Mary Margaret’s life as Snow White is stripped from her memory, replaced by the curse of the Evil Queen, who, in effect, has reimagined her.” “What would the Evil Queen WANT Snow White to become? If she is vivacious and confident and optimistic in her Snow White form, then, in Mary Margaret form, the Evil Queen would want her to be subservient and insecure and lonely. “Is she depressed? She is, but it isn't that simple. The Evil Queen wouldn't want her to be able to be self-indulgent in her depression. She would want her to be ALMOST happy, but always have things fall through - to get a taste of love but have it ripped away, to want to have children but, after teaching other people's children, go home every day to face none of her own.” On a future episode, Mary Margaret confides that she wants marriage, kids and true love, but she sighs, “If true love was easy, we'd all have it.” Adventure and romance seem always beyond reach. “She's always on the verge, but nothing works out.” If it seems Goodwin has subjected this character to exhaustive analysis, so be it, she says, beaming: “That's what makes it fun!”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jonah Hill gets animated Hollywood funnyman premieres new cartoon series he produces called Allen Gregory Show airs Sunday night, alongside Fanily Guy, The Simpson Film star Jonah Hill says he was keen to create an animated TV series because it allowed him to tackle roles he wouldn’t otherwise get. Specifically, a pompous seven-year-old trying to make it through first grade. “I couldn’t play that in real life,” Hill noted dryly in a recent conference call with reporters to promote his new series, Allen Gregory. The Superbad funnyman created, writes, produces and provides the lead voice in the new Fox series about a privileged home-schooled kid who’s every bit as pretentious as his full name - Allen Gregory De Longpre. The bespectacled Allen Gregory may be young, but he seems to have accomplished much: he claims to have composed operas, lobbied congress, written novels and dated actress Chloe Sevigny. But his greatest challenge could be one most kids take in stride - when his wealthy parents fall on hard times, they return to the work force and send Allen Gregory to elementary school with children his own age. Things do not go smoothly. “Anyone catch Charlie Rose the evening before last?” the pint-sized snob asks classmates while pouring himself a glass of wine at the lunch table. It’s basically your classic fish-out-of-water tale, says Hill, noting the tough-talking Allen Gregory reveals himself to be an awkward outsider who just wants to fit in. “He has all this false bravado and condescension and arrogance and everything but it’s all covering up the fact that he’s just insecure and wants to be accepted by these people,” says Hill, who created the show with writing partners Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel. “I think that’s my favourite kind of character to watch – someone who acts like they don’t care about anything, but really cares more than anybody else.”

Much of Hill’s career to date has been built on wise-cracking misfits. He gained notoriety as a potty-mouthed sidekick to Michael Cera in 2007’s “Superbad,” was part of Seth Rogen’s uncouth cadre in “Knocked Up,” played a struggling stand-up comic in “Funny People” and appeared as a man-child trying to derail his mom’s love life in “Cyrus.” He currently co-stars as a statistics genius in the Brad Pitt baseball drama Moneyball and is set to appear in a big screen version of the ‘80s TV cop show 21 Jump Street, which he also writes and executive produces. Hill has taken on more and more producing roles of late, which he says gives him greater control over the projects he performs in. The 27-year-old says he’s deeply involved in the minutiae of “Allen Gregory,” which airs on Global in Canada. “Everything from how a lamp looks to what colour someone’s tie should be, up to the jokes,” says Hill, who also produces the upcoming comedy, “The Sitter,” where he plays an irresponsible babysitter. “It’s just such a wonderful process and when I’m off shooting a movie, I’ll write and read scripts at night and give notes, and watch cuts and give notes, and rewrite and do all that stuff from set.” Allen Gregory joins Fox’s animation lineup Sunday, when it will be sandwiched between The Simpsons and Family Guy. It’s a choice slot that

Hill says had no influence in how he shaped the humour of his animated comedy. “We wanted to do our

own thing and being unique and different than those (shows) was really important,” he says. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Beautiful Creatures: Claim one for yourself Best friends co-author a young adult saga about forbidden love, a curse, rejection and acceptance NICHOLAS LIM

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Now that Harry Potter is no more, authors everywhere are trying to out-charm one another with their own brand of literary magic to fill that mystical, moneymaking void. Amidst the chaos are best friends and co-authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, whose own young adult saga, Beautiful Creatures, is battling its way to the top. The series, in the fictional southern town of Gatlin during the Civil War era, is an epic tale chronicling the forbidden love between Ethan and Lena, which suffers from Ethan’s “curse.” In their third installment, Beautiful Chaos, out

“Adults still feel like teenagers trying to ﬁt in, and the pressure is even greater for the teenagers. They are afraid of being rejected and are always trying to ﬁnd a place in their own lives.” MARGARET STOHL

now, Garcia and Stohl bring more dark powers and twisty plot lines to the books. In fact, the whole series has been a thrilling tale filled with danger and drama — yet at the same time, it’s beautifully poetic (they use a great deal of classic poems and literary quotes). This is due to the authors’ immense love and appreciation for classic literature. “We love all the great classics and the poems; and when we are writing, it feels natural to add them into our story,” Garcia explains. “They have been a great influence.” A healthy dose of classic literature is not the only motif dominant in the Beautiful Creatures series. The themes of rejection and acceptance are constantly explored, examined and elaborated. “Adults still feel like teenagers trying to fit in, and the pressure is even greater for the teenagers. They are afraid of being rejected and are always trying to find a place in their own lives,” Stohl says. “So we want to send them a message to ‘claim yourself’ and just be the person you really are,” Garcia adds.

While Justin Timberlake and the guys from The Lonely Island are today’s golden boys of Saturday Night Live, I remember when Dan Aykroyd ruled. I met Mr. Ghostbuster and he’s a cool guy with a knack for marketing — especially when it comes to booze. Though available all year long, his hard liquor masterpiece Crystal Head Vodka ($44.98 - $59.95) is the ultimate adult indulgence at Halloween. Conceived as an ode to whatever they were talking about in that last Indiana Jones movie, the made in Newfoundland spirit is quadruple-distilled and triple-filtered through Herkimer diamond crystals. Sure, the gemstone filtration is a gimmick, but the vodka is smooth and sophisticated with a light touch of anise-like flavour. Did I mention it comes in a funky skull-shaped bottle? Ice it up and shoot it straight or mix it in your favourite cocktail recipe. Either way, this crystal is way ahead of the competition in the lucrative ultra-premium vodka market and it’s Canadian.

Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Cut out ghostly shapes like tombstones, cats and pumpkins out of ﬂour tortillas. Brush with butter and place on large baking sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes or until just golden. Let cool completely.

Place some toasted tortillas into the dip to create a graveyard scene and serve remaining ones alongside. EMILY

A World Series Texas two-step Rangers manager overflowing with dugout energy

‘I don’t realize I’m doing it’: Washington JAMIE SQUIRE/GETTY IMAGES

4 sports Sports in brief

Rangers manager Ron Washington congratulates Ian Kinsler who scored on a Josh Hamilton single Thursday night in the ﬁrst inning of World Series Game 6. St. Louis won 10-9 in extra innings to force Game 7.

said. Washington's arms may have never been as still in the dugout as they were just before Game 4 of the World Series, when the manager placed both of his hands on the shoulders of Derek Holland. The bills of their caps butted together as Washington offered words of encouragement. The young pitcher looked him straight in the eye and responded affirmatively.

Holland, who hadn't made it past the fifth inning in either of his two AL championship series starts, then allowed only two hits while pitching into the ninth inning of a 4-0 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals that evened the series. “I'm not trying to be something to prove to somebody that I'm emotional. That's me,” said Washington. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

2011

Ron Washington seems to be in perpetual motion, even while standing in the Texas Rangers dugout. The manager waves his arms wildly or slaps his hands against the railing. He furiously pumps his feet up and down, his running in place mimicking the baserunners. There are high-fives and a big smile on his face when good things happen. There are hugs with bench coach Jackie Moore at the end of each victory, the latest coming in the World Series. Before Game 6 of the ALCS-clinching victory over Detroit, Fox television cameras caught him dancing in the dugout. “It's true, it's pure. It's not a show,” said Nolan Ryan, the Hall of Fame pitcher and Rangers president. “He gets so wrapped up into the game and is so in tune to what's happening that that's just him and his personality reacting to the situation, and the joy that those things bring to him shows.” And there has been plenty of that with the Rangers in their second consecutive World Series. Playing deep into another October has again put Washington's pure emotion and energy on display for a large audience. “What you see is what I am. ... When my guys do something good out there, I'm just as excited about it as they are and I want them to know that,” Washington

Loyalty in Texas There were a couple of times when Ron Washington’s managerial future in Texas appeared bleak. In 2008, only Washington's second season, the Rangers were 8-16 and matched their worst start since moving to Texas in 1972. Washington's birthday was around the same time, which may have pre-

vented his firing before the team started playing better. Then late during the 2009 season, Washington offered to resign after admitting to using cocaine once and failing a drug test. Team president Nolan Ryan and general manager Jon Daniels stuck by Washington then, and again during spring training in 2010 when the story became public.

Canada’s women’s soccer team claimed its first Pan American Games gold medal in dramatic fashion Thursday. Christine Sinclair scored in the 88th minute to tie the score 1-1 as Canada went on to a 4-3 shootout win over Brazil, a welcome boost to a team coming off a heartbreaking performance at the women’s World Cup.

Can Ticats find footing in two QB tango? JEFF MCINTOSH/THE CANADIAN PRESS

CFL EXTRA POINTS DAN TOTH

CALGARY@METRONEWS.CA

Two-quarterback systems rarely work. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because QBs not only have the CFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest paycheques on any team, they also own the largest egos. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that precarious balance Hamilton head coach Marcel Bellefeuille is trying to strike with Kevin Glenn and Quinton Porter, and so far it appears to be working. The passing tandem combined for 232 yards in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over B.C. with one touchdown and no picks while posting 42 points against the Lions. If they can make it work,

the Tabbies twosome presents an added threat for opposing defences because they play opposite styles, an advantage when opponents plan to defend. The added bonus for Bellefeuille is that he can leave the hot hand in the game without upsetting the backup, as both Glenn and Porter have seemingly bought into the sometimes awkward arrangement. Lions limping at worst time: The B.C. Lions had a healthy shot at top spot in the CFL West until a recent rash of injuries that have threatened to sideline their amazing first-place run. The CFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatively small rosters leave teams vulnerable to a rash of injuries as the Lions are now realizing. Not only has the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eight-game winning streak come to a crashing halt, the team has incurred no less than 11 injuries in the past two weeks, possibly crip-

Calgary quarterback Drew Tate throws against Saskatchewan last week. Tateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance in Montreal this Sunday could make or break his bid to usurp Henry Burris as the Stampedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starter.

pling its chances of claiming a bye to the West final. General manager Wally Buono is so desperate to replenish his roster he signed retired Canadian receiver Ryan Thelwell to fill a hole. The most painful blow is an upper back muscle injury to tailback Andrew

Harris, who is sidelined indefinitely. Even QB Travis Lulay is hobbled by an ankle injury on the eve of their biggest game of the season Saturday against the visiting Edmonton Eskimos. Burris quietly bides his time: Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Henry Bur-

ris is certainly taking the high road thus far after being demoted to backup QB behind Drew Tate. Burris, the reigning CFL most outstanding player, who reportedly earns around $350,000 per season, could have reason to moan about his plight this

season after being benched despite leading the Stamps to a playoff berth for the seventh straight season. That said, his play this year has been erratic at best and just one Grey Cup title since his arrival in 2005 is disappointing for a team that has been among the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular-season elite during that time. If Tate continues his strong play and assumes the No. 1 role permanently, Burris is destined to be moved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps to Toronto where they would gladly make room for his marquee fan appeal and topnotch salary. But we should be careful to not write off Burris. The Stamps travel to Montreal this week for one of their toughest tests of the season, a game that could reduce everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment of Tate after an easy first start last week against Saskatchewan.
