Education Act back to drawing board

Stick. Save

More consultation needed before debating Bill 18 in session, says minister SHELLEY WILLIAMSON

Bill nuts and bolts

@METRONEWS.CA

Alberta’s education minister announced Thursday that a law that would force students to stay in school longer and grant them more time to graduate will not be presented in the legislature’s abbreviated fall session. Bill 18, the Education Act, still needs “wider consultation” with parents, school officials, opposition members and students before it will be ready to pursue, Thomas Lukaszuk told reporters. “I want to be sure that the legislation meets my own test, that it has a direct and positive impact on students, that it reflects concerns raised by parents about current legislation, as well as their ideas about what the education system could be,” said Lukaszuk. The minister said the short sitting played no part in putting off the bill — introduced last spring — until next spring. Anti-bullying rules will also figure into the revised legislation, Lukaszuk said. He said the provision for fight-

Bill 18 was introduced last spring by then-Education Minister Dave Hancock, and will replace the current School Act. The original legislation proposed upping the mandatory attendance age from 16 to 17 and funding education up to age 21, versus the current 19. Part of the original bill gave school officials the means to deal with bullying in and after school, including cyber-bullying, which is currently a grey area.

ing bullying in schools is there already, but may need more input to ensure it has teeth. But Rachel Notley, NDP MLA, said she doubts the bill, which she called “the cherry on the top of three or four years of profound mismanagement,” will see the light of day. “They’ve been sitting on it for three or four years and I am not convinced we are going to an act in the spring at all,” said Notley. “I suspect we are more likely to see an election than we are an act.”

City hoping for LRT cash down the line The city is hoping to pitch the feds for funding in the billions of dollars in the next decade and a half — starting next year. Bob Boutilier, transportation manager, said about $4 billion is needed for the entire LRT line, not only for the west to southeast pegged at $3.2 billion, but also for Heritage Valley, Gorman and St. Albert in the future. Boutilier said in the absence of Build Canada Fund money, the city will prepare an application for future money.

Premier Alison Redford says proposed legislation on a fixed provincial election date will be introduced this fall. “We need to set an agenda so that people know what they’re choosing between in the next election,” said Redford, noting the bill fulfils a PC leadership campaign commitment. “But we are going to be introducing this fall legislation with respect to fixed election dates, and that will give us even more certainty in terms of that.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Velodrome desired as replacement for aging Argyll cycling facility Proposed 17,000-square-metre rec centre would replace hockey rink HEATHER MCINTYRE

@METRONEWS.CA

Upgraded facilities planned for Coronation Park look great to Edmonton Public School Board trustee Christopher Spencer, but he’d like to see one plan put on ice. Part of the $116-million idea, unveiled Thursday at an open house, is to replace the hockey rink with a rec centre housing a velodrome and indoor soc-

cer facilities. “Every indoor rink in west-central Edmonton would disappear, and would be replaced by new twin arenas and four-plexes in far-flung suburban areas,” said Spencer. “So we are looking at the loss of all this infrastructure. It’s a real concern, especially for Ross Shep.” Nearby Ross Sheppard High School offers a hockey and ringette program run out of the rink, and

Spencer’s concern is compounded by plans to close Oliver, Westwood and Crestwood arenas as well. “I hear the concern,” said Coun. Kim Krushell. “But that concern can be addressed in other ways.” Three large rec centres are already planned, said Krushell, and another in the future will be closer to the downtown core. She thinks a velodrome is a better fit for the area and needed by user groups.

Park plan The city has budgeted $200,000 for a velodrome study and consultation, and councillors hope to include a design process for the park plans in the 201214 capital budget. Other facets of the plan include sports fields, gym facilities to complement the existing park space, lawn bowling, tennis courts, the Peter Hemingway Pool and planetarium.

Cold weather occupies campers With 20 days and several threats of eviction behind them, Occupy Edmonton campers at the Melcor-owned Jasper Avenue property faced an even icier reception Thursday. The remaining 10 to 20 were readying for sub-zero temperatures overnight, said spokesperson Chelsea Taylor. “We are looking at former military tents, and we’ve also gotten a few offers for teepees,” said Taylor, adding some members were shopping for heaters on Thursday.

On Tuesday the Edmonton group feared eviction after bylaw signs were erected. They have since been removed. Though Melcor president Ralph Young continues to implore the group to vacate out of safety and concerns, the group is staying put, Taylor said. Donations of warm sleeping bags, tents, and hot food are welcome as long as the campers are braving the cold, she added. “One of the things still open if it gets too cold is to shut down the camp, give the food to the food bank and wait out the winter indoors.” SHELLEY WILLIAMSON

Opposition demands premier stick to pledge Alberta’s opposition parties have united in a push for a public inquiry into healthcare concerns. Leaders of the Alberta Liberals, the NDP and the Wildrose party have sent a joint letter to Premier Alison Redford. They want her to fulfil a promise she made during the Tory leadership campaign to hold an inquiry into alleged finan-

cial misconduct and doctor intimidation. Redford is now suggesting that the powers of the Health Quality Council, which is doing a health review, simply need to be expanded. Alberta Liberal Leader Raj Sherman, who brought up the complaints last fall, points out that review is behind closed doors. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Traffic starts flowing as construction ends City completes one of the busiest road-revamp seasons in history With big projects done, focus shifts to neighbourhood renewal, LRT METRO FILE

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

Edmonton drivers can breathe a sigh of relief now that the worst of the traffic delays are over, at least for the next couple of years, according to the city’s road boss. “We are excited to be closing off the 2011 construction season with significant milestones achieved,” said transportation general manager Bob Boutilier Thursday, thanking the fine fall weather, driver patience and $231 million in taxpayer funds to be able to get the needed jobs done. Several major projects took the bulk of city resources, including work on the Quesnell Bridge portion of Whitemud Drive, the 23rd Avenue/Gateway Boulevard interchange and rehab of Scona Road/99 Street. “The completion of so many road projects is helping Edmonton achieve its goal of a more efficient and sustainable transportation system,” said Boutilier. North LRT construction also began this year at a cost of $150 million. The shifting of Kingsway Avenue now allows for the future completion of the Kingsway/RoyalAlexandra

River rescue is essential, but five full-time firefighters back in the Rossdale Fire Station makes some nearby residents a bit uneasy. Edmonton Fire Rescue wants a small crew back at Station No. 21, located on the edge of the river. “We recognize river rescue is there and it’s there for a reason,” said Lynn Parish, president of the Rossdale Community League. “We would be concerned for (the) intensity of activity we’re looking at.” The station was vacated in the late 1990s and the

community won at the court of appeal a few years ago when the city wanted to make alternative use of the site, creating traffic and noise, said Parish. She added the highly populated area with narrow roads isn’t ideal for a fire station.

Terry Owen, EFR chief of emergency systems, said the plan is to enhance river response, but that additional staff could serve downtown. “The concern (is) that it would become more than that,” said Parish.

When the station was vacated in the 1990s, it was primarily due to budget pressures. EFR told a council committee last month it would like to hold a public information session this fall. EFR would like to secure the funds — pegged at $5.5 million, including station rehab and new equipment —in the 2012 budget. There are 25 active fire stations in Edmonton, with one scheduled to open next spring in Ellerslie and work to begin soon on one in Heritage Valley.

Health-care costs double in a decade

Jackson. Trial

Some specialties paid too much Physician fees add to burden “The pig is moving through the python. We’re starting to see the ﬁrst eﬀects of greatly increasing enrolment in medical school — the pouring out of new graduates.”

Health-care costs in Canada doubled over the past decade and will cross the $200-billion mark this year, a report released Thursday reveals. The report shows, though, that the growth in health-care spending has actually started to slow, after rising at an average of seven per cent a year during the period from 1998 to 2008. Health-care spending will increase by four per cent this year, the lowest percentage increase in the past 15 years, says the report, from the Canadian Institute for Health Information. A key driver of the rising costs is what the system pays doctors. And with medical schools geared up to churn out substantially more physicians in coming years, the system could be heading for a perfect storm, a health consultant who studied the report predicts. Steven Lewis says medical schools in the country have increased enrolments by 75 per cent over the past decade. As those doctors graduate, Canada is moving from a state of under-supply to one of over-supply — at least in the cities.

The report noted the volume of MRI tests has doubled in the past six years – an example of increased health-care usage. But Lewis said no one has done the analysis yet to determine whether Canadians are healthier as a result of undergoing more MRIs. The report dispelled the notion that the greying of the Canadian population is behind the substantial rise in health-care costs, saying population aging was responsible for under one per cent – 0.8 per cent – of the cost increases. With the crest of the baby boom generation set to hit retirement age, cost increases driven by the aging of the population are expected to rise slightly in the coming years. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Froth flies over Nov. 11 drinkfest Having a pint on Remembrance Day to salute Canadian veterans is a time-honoured tradition, but students at New Brunswick Community College have taken things a draught too far, critics say. An invitation to hit 11 bars in 11 hours in Saint John has not gone down well with some. Others, however, are taking the attitude of live and let live – including the Royal Canadian Legion.

“The person who organized it just happens to be a student of ours … it definitely isn’t something we would ever encourage,” said Sonya Gilks, a spokesperson for the college. It didn’t take long for the phones lines at New 88.9 all news radio in Saint John to light up with angry callers, said the stations talk show producer Shaun MacKenzie. “People felt it was very

disrespectful (to mark Nov. 11) that way,” he said. Organizers of the 11hour drinkfest posted the event on Facebook, inviting one and all to the Remembrance Day Pub Crawl “to remember the brave men and women that fought for our country.” They later tried to blunt the negative reaction by calling the bar hopping session the Uptown Tour.

He did tell the local newspaper, however, that he thought that drinking from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. was “clever.” “It’s our way to express our dedication to the men and women that fought for our country,” Jenkins told the Telegraph-Journal.

Divorced man sues to recreate wedding A New York City man has filed a lawsuit seeking $48,000 to recreate his 2003 wedding, even though the marriage ended in divorce. The New York Times reports that Todd Remis sued H & H Photographers claiming that the photographers missed the last dance and the bouquet toss. An owner of H & H Photographers called the case “an abuse of the legal system.”

As clocks fall back, survey asks how people would spend extra hours Sleep, sweep or spend quality time. That’s what most Canadians say they would do with just one extra hour, according to a new Angus Reid survey. With the clocks set to fall back an hour this weekend, the survey found a quarter of Canadians would take that hour to invest time in their relationships, while a nearly equal number would choose to catch up on chores or get some added shuteye, at 24 and 22 per cent respectively. Six per cent would pursue personal interests or

Bid to extradite elder Khadr fails

Beaten. Back

High court rejects appeal from Ottawa Brother of Omar Khadr won’t have to face trial in the U.S.

Protesters are sprayed with water by riot police Thursday as they try to enter the National Assembly during a rally against a free trade agreement between South Korea and the United States in front of the legislative building in Seoul.

COLIN PERKEL/THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear the extradition case of Abdullah Khadr, shutting the door on American efforts to prosecute the man in a terrorism case. The high court has dismissed the federal government’s leave-to-appeal application in the case of Khadr, the older brother of Omar Khadr, the last Western detainee to be held at Guantanamo Bay. The federal government, acting on behalf of the Americans, was appealing rulings by lower courts that prevented Abdullah Khadr from being extradited to the United States. Ottawa had argued it

Last year, the Ontario Superior Court decided there were sufficient grounds to send Khadr to the U.S. based on self-incriminating statements he’d given the RCMP. However, the court ruled the U.S. had violated fundamental justice with its involvement in Khadr’s “shocking” mistreatment during 14-months’ detention in Pakistan, a decision that was upheld by the Ontario Court of Appeal.

services to a four-year-old watchdog agency set up to mediate between consumers and the industry. The commissioner for complaints to telecommunications services says complaints jumped by 114 per cent in 2010-11 over the previous year, to more than 8,000. The agency is an independent body established by the federal government

in 2007 to resolve consumer complaints against telecom companies. The agency says most of the 8,007 complaints it fielded this year were about wireless services and almost all of these were about billing errors or contract disputes. It suggests that much of the increase in the number of complaints is due to growing public awareness

of the agency. It says the numbers are likely to increase after a recent CRTC decision expanded the agency’s mandate to cover all telecom service providers. In its annual report, it said charges for data usage drew complaints from consumers who don’t know the limits of their plans or how much data they use. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Occupy protesters disavow violence

Oakland becomes rallying point as other cities display their support NOAH BERGER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Occupy Wall Street protesters had just a few hours to celebrate what they saw as their biggest victory so far: The peaceful shutdown of the nation’s fifth-busiest port. Then the rioting began. A day after some protesters clashed with riot police, set fires and shattered windows in Oakland, Calif., demonstrators across the country condemned the violence and wondered whether it was a turn that would destroy their cause. “They don’t speak for the majority of people who were here yesterday,” said Hadas Alterman, a college student who was gathering trash at a tent camp near Oakland City Hall. “That was an hour of action, and we were out here for 12

hours and it was peaceful.” The protest outside the port, which reopened Thursday, represented an escalation in tactics as demonstrators targeted a major symbol of the nation’s commerce with peaceful rallies and sit-ins. The violence that followed, however, raised questions about whether a movement with no organizational structure and no high-profile leaders can do anything to stop those they called troublemakers. So far, few cities have reached the level of Oakland, a unique place with a long history of tensions between residents and police. Police in riot gear arrested more than 80 protesters in downtown Oakland.

Movement attracts the troubled JESSICA SMITH

Adam Smolcic, an Occupy Ottawa protester who spoke about violence on a YouTube video, said things have quieted down since one aggressor — who Smolcic said is a drug addict who repeatedly sexually groped a male protester — was removed from the camp on Friday. “We asked him to leave and he became hostile.

He came out of his tent with syringes sticking out of his pocket,” said Smolcic. “When he jumped back in his tent, we didn’t know what he was going to do, so the victim and myself and another person just grabbed his tent and removed it from the property with him in it. “It was the most non-violent thing we could do. The victim did not want

to call the police, he didn’t want to bring that kind of press here. That was his call.” The movement has attracted people with mental-health and addiction problems, including a woman who self-harms. Smolcic and another protester said they would like to see the camp have access to a trained mental-health team. In the meantime,

there’s an ongoing debate among the occupiers about when — and how — troublesome people should be evicted from the camp. “When there’s word that goes around on the street that there’s a camp that will give you free food, a tent and blankets, no matter who you are, we tend to attract the most desperate and needy people,” said Smolcic.

Sun gets active, bursts out flare Storms shoot electromagnetic energy After years of quiet, the sun is coming alive with solar storms in a big way. The sun shot off a flare Thursday afternoon from a region that scientists are calling a â&#x20AC;&#x153;benevolent monster.â&#x20AC;?

A NASA screen grab shows a solar spot in the centre of the sun in February.

Scientists at the federal Space Weather Prediction Center say that area is the most active part of the sun since 2005. It has dozens of sunspots, including one that is the size of 17 Earths. Sunspots are kinks or knots

in the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnetic field. The flare was not aimed at Earth. This active region, however, is now slowly turning toward Earth, and scientists say it will be directly facing Earth in about five days.

That storm region will affect Earth only if it shoots flares and they hit the planet. The region will be facing Earth for about two weeks as it rotates, scientists predict. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s hard for many people to understand the Occupy movement, because Occupy wants to change things and as human beings we don’t always react positively to change. Consider this quote from Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, inventer of the assembly line and arch-capitalist. “It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” OK, that’s your first clue. Money forms an artificial economy, together with stocks and bonds and other financial instruments. Its value is only in our minds, but that artificial value has taken on a controlling power in our lives. The economy has run its course and it is failing. It is going to cease to operate as intended and it hasn’t been helping most of the people anyway for a long time now. Gandhi said, “Poverty is the worst form of violence.” Our economic system creates poverty for the many and incredible wealth and power for the very few.

On second thought, I don’t want to know. Required by law: Despite consistently violating probation, Lindsay Lohan manages to avoid jail time. Nevertheless, she has definitely learned a lesson: that her lawyers are better than Martha Stewart’s but not quite as good as Casey Anthony’s. Dazed and confused: Health Canada is lobbying to shift the responsibility of approving medical marijuana away from themselves and over to our doctors. Representatives at Frito-Lay and Nabisco say they wholeheartedly support the decision. On the bright side: I have a year to re-evaluate next year’s Halloween costume.

Just kidding! I’m not an illegal immigrant An American man who claimed to be an illegal immigrant from Mexico to avoid going to prison is now wanted by police. Jaime Alvarado, 27, of Salt Lake City, was charged in Utah for giving false material statements. The charges stem from a 2010 arrest when Alvarado told police, a Utah state courts judge and federal immigration officials that he was actually Saul Quiroz and had emigrated from

Mexico illegally. At the time, Alvarado was facing up to 15 years in prison for the possession of cocaine and heroin with the intent to distribute. Instead of going to prison, Alvarado was deported to Mexico based on his false identity, according to court records. But he then returned to the United States using his American passport and earlier this year was arrested on an outstanding warrant connected to his guilty plea. On Feb. 3, Alvarado acknowledged during a court hearing that he had lied about his identity.

Greek opposition leader calls Harper: G20 for prime minister to resign debt talks

moving forward

Opposition suggests transitional government to safeguard debt deal

ADRIAN WYLD/THE CANADIAN PRESS

French President Nicolas Sarkozy issued a dark warning against the “explosion” of Europe on Thursday even as Greece appeared to pull back from a referendum plan that’s undermining a crucial financial bailout. But while Sarkozy was raising the spectre of Europe’s devastating 20th century wars, Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered a more soothing take, saying “cooler heads will prevail.” The extraordinary day of fast-moving events came as G20 leaders, including Harper, began 24 hours of talks aimed at stabilizing the global economy and avoiding another world recession. Harper told Canadian reporters that contin-

Socialist lawmaker Eva Kaili, centre, chats prior to Greek prime minister George Papandreou’s speech to his members of Parliament in Athens on Thursday. Papandreou’s majority was reduced to the bare minimum when Kaili said she would not vote in favour during Friday’s scheduled conﬁdence vote.

Turmoil in Greece Greek PM George Papandreou ignored widespread calls for his resignation but withdrew the referendum plan, with his finance min-

ing forced into a disorderly default or out of the 17nation eurozone. Papandreou abandoned that plan Thursday as the uproar spread even to his own ruling Socialist party. Greece’s new debt deal would give the country an extra $138 billion US in rescue loans from the rest of the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund — on top of the $152 billion it was granted a

year ago. It would also see banks forgive Athens 50 per cent of the money it still owes them. The goal is to reduce Greece’s massive debts to the point where the country is able to handle its finances without constant bailouts. Samaras, the opposition leader, did not indicate whether he would vote in favour of the deal when it comes before the

gency plans for Greece’s exit from the eurozone were discussed during talks Thursday afternoon, but that events in Athens appeared to be moving in the right direction. “My expectation is that cooler heads will prevail and the (bailout) package will be accepted and we’ll move forward on that basis,” the Prime Minister said.

Demanding that the prime minister resign, the main Greek opposition leader led his party in a dramatic walkout Thursday during a parliamentary debate about the viability of the government. Antonis Samaras’ statements came amid an intense political crisis in Greece, after Prime Minister George Papandreou shocked the country, European leaders and financial markets earlier this week by saying he wanted to put a hard-fought new European debt deal to a popular vote.

Synopsis

Allan Alda is Arthur Shaw, a Bernie Madoff character whose Ponzi scheme defrauded his clients out of millions of dollars. Among those burned were the employees of his luxury high rise. Having lost his pension plan, the building’s manager Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) concocts a plan to break into Shaw’s apartment and steal his $20 million stash. When his posse of employees prove to be less than criminally adept, Kovacs brings in an old friend and ex-con, Slide (Eddie Murphy), to help.

Reel Guys

RICHARD CROUSE & MARK BRESLIN SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Stealing laughs Fine ensemble of comedy actors saves the hackneyed plot of Tower Heist Richard: Mark, it’s nice to see Eddie Murphy in a movie that allows him to drop his beloved family entertainer guise and bring back some of the bravado that we loved in movies like 48 Hours. It’s just too bad the movie feels like it was made 30 years ago. Despite its Bernie Madoff storyline it feels old-fashioned. MB: Of course it feels oldfashioned. It’s an Eddie Murphy movie circa 1990. If not for the hairstyles, you could almost believe it was an unreleased film from that era finally freed

from some legal limbo. But you have to admit, it’s great to see Murphy doing the kind of work he should have been doing over the last two decades. So, sure the plot feels hackneyed. But it’s the fine ensemble cast that makes this thing click. My favourite? Matthew Broderick. Yours, Richard? RC: For me it was Michael Pena. Great comic timing, perpetual dazed look on his face. He and Murphy were the high points for me. It was interesting, however, to see Ben Stiller as the straight man to

Murphy’s wisecracks. Loved hearing Murphyisms like, “I will blow your face clean off your face!” MB: Well, I haven’t liked Stiller in anything for quite a while, and I appreciated his comic restraint here, penance perhaps for all his shameless mugging in those Night at The Museum movies. I will admit the whole enterprise does have a retro vibe, including Tea Leoni and Alan Alda in key roles, but Gabourey Sidibe freshens up the cast in a comic turn a million light years from

what she did in Precious. RC: She is a pleasant surprise. I just couldn’t shake the feeling that the actual robbery, despite a few twists here and there, was completely unbelievable. I don’t mind suspending part of my disbelief but the sheer lunacy of the crime took me out of the movie. MB: I went with it because it was fun, if not credible. But I must say I enjoy the irony of any film that critiques the class system in America starring actors each worth half a billion dollars.

How to cast Greek gods Immortals director Tarsem Singh explains why he cast fit young specimens instead of bearded old men as Greek gods Expects some audience backlash for his decision

the wrong people? And then slept with so-and-so’s daughter, so-and-so’s son and everything? And then Poseidon coming down and impregnating people through water? It’s just like, no they were nasty f--ups. And basically soap opera is the right thing.

NED EHRBAR

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN HOLLYWOOD

Visionary Indian director Tarsem Singh is known for his bold visuals — as seen in his previous films the Cell and the Fall — so a fair amount of spectacle is to be expected for his take on Greek mythology, Immortals. But the boldest visuals might be the gods themselves, portrayed here as fit, young specimens instead of the usual bearded old men. It’s an approach Tarsem knew would be controversial — though he admits he wasn’t prepared for just how much blowback he’d get. Your Greek gods are a lot more ﬁt in this movie than we’re used to seeing.

Immortals is an action flick, and I decided it wasn’t going to be CGI flying and fighting and pointing fingers and lightning coming out from people’s fingers. Once I decided I wasn’t going to go there, I needed physically fit specimens. So I just said OK, why would I go young with them? And I started to look for reasons, and

LUKE EVANS PLAYS THE KING OF THE GODS, ZEUS

What did you think of the most recent depiction of the gods in Clash of the Titans?

Tarsem Singh says he cast his Greek gods as young and ﬁt because he reasoned anyone who could live forever would want to stay at their peak.

the reason just being that if you wanted to live forever, nobody wants to look old and miserable and be carrying a catheter around in later-on years. So I said at the peak is where you’d like to stay. And also that solved a lot of questions which in the end in the movie didn’t make it that much — the

idea of all these Greek guys having incest and all that. It just made much more sense if you had body beautiful. You’d be sleeping with the daughter. We had a lot of that, and people balked against it. It makes a lot more sense. If everybody looked really beautiful and didn’t age, the daughters would

have to move out of the house. Greek mythology is very soap opera-y.

Very! And for most people, they don’t see it as that. They’re just, “No no no! Zeus was this mighty guy, a voice of reason.” The guy who got pissed off at everybody else and kept killing

Clash was unfortunately so hurried in competition, funnily enough, with us — just thinking that it had to come out before that. I said I had no interest in competing with a juggernaut that has three times my budget. If they want to turn something like that out, that’s fine. But I don’t know how to do gods turning cauldrons and going, “What are the humans up to?” That’s so dated. People deal differently with gods. Ours, I see a lot of people actually going negatively against it, saying it’s such a fascist thing. It’s usually older people or people just thinking wisdom only comes with age — or when you’re oldlooking. I say yes, wisdom can come with age, but I know a lot of stupid old people.

Billy lives on

AARON VINCENT ELKAIM/THE CANADIAN PRESS

War veteran character goes from the stage to the big screen

Veteran Canadian performers John Gray and Eric Peterson are still willing to battle future incarnations of Billy Bishop Goes to War. Their lauded, long-running stage musical — which is now a film that opens Friday in Toronto and other cities later this month — depicts the life of First World War flying ace Billy Bishop of Owen Sound, Ont. When it debuted in 1978, Peterson played Bish-

“The ﬁlm is a very, very small capsule of the intensity of the time that formed him and how he looks back on it so many years later.”

DIRECTOR BARBARA WILLIS-SWEETE

op as a young man who’d just returned from war. Gray accompanied on piano and sang along with him. Over the years, they’ve revived the show around the world and updated it to suit their ages: a 1998 version depicted Bishop as a war veteran, and the latest incarnation has a 62-yearold Bishop in the last year of his life. Now both 65, Gray and Peterson — who won a Governor General’s award for creating the show — say they’re open to the idea of exploring Bishop’s life from yet another angle. “We are older than Billy Bishop ever lived to be but ... this is the world of theatre and film, where everything is possible. So yes, there could be another chapter,” Peterson said in an interview at last Septem-

ber’s Toronto International Film Festival, where Billy Bishop Goes to War screened. “I’m actually secretly practising with a walker, you know, and a wheelchair,” the former Corner Gas star added with a cackle. “I’m sure that we could do something with this.” “He wants a trap door (that) opens and flames come out,” interjected Gray. “And we come out from hell to enact the story of my life,” replied Peterson in jest. “Who knows, eh? Who knows. Or maybe we’ll just be like the two old guys sitting in the audience going, ‘I love this play! We were in it once, you know!’ ... I don’t want to give up the notion that there’s some future production of it.” British Columbia native

Actors John Gray, left, and Eric Peterson pose for a photograph while promoting their ﬁlm Billy Bishop Goes to War during the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Barbara Willis-Sweete directs the feature film version of the story, written and composed by Gray and Peterson. Shot in summer 2010, the film is set in an empty theatre, on a stage designed to look like an attic. A pyjama-clad Bishop (Peterson) reminisces about his life while Gray provides the music. Surrounded by model

airplanes, war medals and an old projector, Bishop describes how he came to enlist in the military and went into war at age 20. He wasn’t keen to join the fight but when he got a chance to fly, he felt like a king. “I think for him (flying) made war more palatable because it’s abstract up there and you don’t actually face the blood and the guts,” said Willis-Sweete,

who’s seen all the incarnations of Billy Bishop Goes to War over the years. “But he was transformed completely when he actually saw someone die — when he actually saw the results of what he was doing.” By the end of the war, Bishop had become a pacifist, she added. Later in his life, he was plagued by alcoholism. THE CANADIAN PRESS

60, E.N.G). As his career soars, he falls hard for rocker Sherri Lee Nelson (Trudy Young), who finds it difficult to stomach the violent world of hockey. Hindle says he learned to skate in just two months in order to take the role, which put him in scrimmages that were

staged at Maple Leaf Gardens. That material was later spliced in with actual game footage. “We actually dropped the puck and for about five minutes we’d just skate up and down the ice and I’d have to make the plays and I’d have to keep up with the Blackhawks or the Bruins or the Rangers

mits, adding that part of the deal meant limiting the run to 10,000 copies of the film. “Because I have a slight relationship with the NHL they came on board.” “They understood the importance of the film.” The other challenge was bringing a damaged 35millimetre print up to HD quality. Gross says he spent $10,000 in a bid to clean up the footage. “It still looks a little grindhouse in places, but we had to go in frame by frame and clean it up,” he admits. “We fixed up the sound as best we could.” Hindle says Leaf all-star Jim McKenny served as his double, making the transitions between staged and real footage smoother, and making the actor look like he actually belonged on the ice.

Screen spy James Bond is returning next year in a new movie called Skyfall with a star-studded cast, producers said on Thursday. Daniel Craig makes his third appearance as the suave secret agent in the film, directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty). Spanish star Javier Bardem will play the chief villain in 007’s 23rd screen adventure, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson said. British actors Albert Finney, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw will play asyet-undisclosed roles. “There’s lots of surprises,” Mendes told reporters, as he confirmed filming will begin Thursday and will take place in London’s government district of Whitehall, at Pinewood Studios outside the British capital and on location in Scotland, Istanbul and

studio MGM filed for bankruptcy in 2010. But its new management and the producers announced earlier this year that the spy would live to fight another day. The movie is due to be released a year from now, four years after Bond’s last adventure, Quantum of Solace. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Movie reviews

Worth watching 888 | Yawn 88 | Don’t bother 8 A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas

“One of the more joyous movies of the year!”

Genre: Comedy Director: Todd StraussSchulson Stars: Kal Penn, John Cho, Neil Patrick Harris 811

- Christopher Null, ﬁlmcritic.com

Say this much for a Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas: It certainly helps you forget the duo’s second outing, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, ever happened. This time around, the loveable honour roll stoners (John Cho and Kal Penn) are dealing with growing older and growing apart and taking on the holidays. The brisk comedy works best when it walks that fine line between skewering holiday classics and reveling in downright filth. It’s a careful balance, and the filmmakers don’t always maintain it. (A tribute to a key scene in a Christmas

Buck Genre: Documentary Director: Cindy Meehl Stars: Buck Brannaman, Robert Redford 81

Story involving a frozen pole and one of Harold’s more sensitive areas is particularly line-crossing.) But all in all, it’s good filthy fun.

Aside from a thrilling late sequence in which its subject tries to tame an especially wild equine, Cindy Meehl’s Buck is mostly boring stuff: a portrait of a reallife “horse whisperer” given to whispering platitudes about the relationship between men and horses. Buck Brannaman may be a kind and talented man, but he’s also rather dull.

“A sensuous, expansive hymn to travel and transformation!” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

“Open yourself up to this thoughtful, moving personal adventure!” - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“The Way is a must see! An inspiring and faith ﬁlled journey that is moving and breathtakingly beautiful.” - Terrence C. Donilon, Archdiocese of Boston

Everything about Michael Fitzpatrick is befitting of a man who fronts a band called Fitz and the Tantrums. In performance, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dancing machine, and in conversation heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick with a quip and prone to emotional reactions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody gives anybody in rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll sh-t for being in the 10 millionth rock band,â&#x20AC;? he says when the topic arises of other contemporary soul-influenced acts like Mayer Hawthorne, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Fitzpatrick has only kind words for his peers, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keen to point out that within the genre, â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing their own thing.â&#x20AC;?

Anson Mount on the bloody Hell on Wheels

Introducing:

Actor dishes on gritty TV Western that’s set in post-Civil War America Things get ugly — characters motivated by greed, revenge and a better life GETTY IMAGES

AMBER RAY

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN NEW YORK

The Western is the most iconic, uniquely American genre to be churned out of Hollywood. With the debut of Hell on Wheels, it might also be the dirtiest. “There’s a lot of sunburn and dirt and mud. There’s a lot of animals,” leading man Anson Mount says of the Alberta set of the new AMC drama. “And there’s a lot of fake blood.” Oh, is there ever blood. Recounting the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in post-Civil War America, the Hell on Wheels tale is one of technological advances, greed, and the plight of Native Americans, newly emancipated African-Americans (including a character played by rapper/actor Common) and immigrants. It’s told through the story of Mount’s character, Cullen Bohannon, a Confederate soldier who heads west to seek revenge for the wartime death of his wife.

“I think they are always going to respond to something that is truthful. The American audience is, by and large, a lot smarter than the Hollywood people give them credit for.” ANSON MOUNT ON HELL ON WHEELS

Far from the romantic notion of the classic Western, this series is a vivid, brutal retelling of historical fact that doesn’t shy away from the ugly actions the U.S. took in the name of progress. “The first time I saw the pilot, I turned to the producers and told them, ‘I think we have just made the bloodiest thing ever shot on television,’” Mount says. He believes the series’ attention to the authenticity of this tumultuous period — including its violence and language that is far from politically correct today — is something audiences will appreciate.

“I think people are more interested in reality than just a shiny object,” he says. “I think they are always going to respond to something that is truthful. The American audience is, by and large, a lot smarter

than the Hollywood people give them credit for.” In other words, don’t expect the good guy to ride up on a gleaming white steed with silver spurs and a million-dollar smile in this Western.

Revenge proves sweet for actress VanCamp living it up on new Canadian soap With its sudsy romantic storylines, backstabbing beauties and absurdly opulent surroundings, the insidiously infectious Revenge has been hailed by many

TV critics as the fall season’s top guilty pleasure. And Canadian star Emily VanCamp has no qualms with that description, even if the “guilty” part some-

soaps and I think if you try to fight that, then you’re taking yourself too seriously and that comes out in the product,” the affable VanCamp said in a recent tele-

phone interview. “I mean, the stakes are so high with these characters, and there’s so much drama and intensity, that if we didn’t allow it to be a bit campy, it wouldn’t work — it’s gotta have that sort of surreal, kind of heightened Hitchcockian feel to it or else it does not work. “So I love it. It’s all been so positive. I don’t care what (the media) wants to call it, as long as they’re telling people to watch it.” So far, attracting viewers hasn’t been a problem. Perhaps the primary reason for the widespread appeal is the show’s pulpy premise. VanCamp plays Emily, a cold-blooded social assassin who aims to avenge the death of her father by moving to an abundantly affluent neighbourhood in the Hamptons and systematically destroying the lives of the duplicitous, well-heeled locals who allowed her dad to take the fall for crimes he didn’t commit. Viewers have revelled in VanCamp’s morally dubious takedowns. In one early episode, she manipulates a state senator — who helped put her father behind bars — into retiring from public life so his

Tough move For VanCamp herself, the show’s early success validates a gutsy career move.

THE WORD DOROTHY ROBINSON SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Poor Mariah Yeater. First the 20-year-old (allegedly!) had sex with Justin Bieber, then she (allegedly!) got pregnant by him, and now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing the wrath of millions of hormonal girls (not allegedly!) on the Internet. Several Facebook hate-

pages have sprung up bashing Yeater and Twitter is absolutely enflamed with misspelled hateTweets. If Yeater is just filing this paternity suit for attention, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting it. But I find this whole claim totally unbelievable as, really, have his testes even descended yet? But then again, I thought the marriage between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries would last to at least six months, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been wrong before.

Now we know where Demi Moore likes it According to a source, Ashton Kutcher wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one cheating While Ashton Kutcher has come under fire due to allegations of infidelity, new reports suggest Demi Moore might be in the same boat. According to In Touch, Moore got more than a little friendly with a young pal of Kutcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, actor Ben Hollingsworth, one night after picking him up from a party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wound up having sex in the back of the car,â&#x20AC;? a source claims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just kept going from there.â&#x20AC;? But not too far, as

Hollingsworth reportedly called off the affair soon after. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was getting to be better friends with Ashton and he felt bad about it,â&#x20AC;? the source explains. Sex in a car? Why do we need to know these graphic details, In Touch? Between knowing Kutcher had sex in a hot tub and Moore in the back seat of a car, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as though the two have something against a nice, olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bed.

Masi Agricola’s innovations PETER ROCKWELL LIQUIDASSETS@EASTLINK.CA TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY

When it comes to superstar producers, the Italian wine industry has almost as many as a Justin Bieber album. There’s Piedmont’s Angelo Gaja, Tuscany’s Giovanni di Piero Antinori and Veneto’s Sandro Boscaini. I recently had lunch with Boscaini — the President of Masi Agricola — and got a chance to talk with him about his famous wines and innovations his company brought to the industry. It was “Mr. Masi’s” father who originated the Ripasso method of wine making: A double fermentation of sorts with Valpolicella juice refermented on the semi-dried lees left over from the makings of a rich, weighty Amarone-style wine. In 1964, the Masi Campofiorin ($17.95 $18.99) was the first Ripasso wine to hit shelves and the current 2008 vintage carries on that long tradition. Inimitably drinkable with a smooth, raisinmeets-plum profile, it’s an all-around food partner but with enough guts to stand on its own as a fall-friendly red to toast the up-coming time change.

What’s with the hype over

goat cheese?

In many parts of the world people eat goat cheese more than cheese from cows, and North America is catching on Upgrade your Panini THE CANADIAN PRESS H/O

The dairy goat industry is growing by leaps and bounds in Canada. Agriculture and AgriFood Canada estimated goat milk production country-wide at more than 21 million litres in 2004. Today, estimates put production at close to 18 million litres in Ontario alone. One significant reason for the demand is the “health benefits of the goat products,” says Lindsay Gregory, marketing coordinator for Woolwich Dairy Inc., the largest goat cheese manufacturer in Canada. “Goat milk is lower in fat and lower in cholesterol, but it’s still high in protein and calcium.” A 2005 Agriculture Canada report confirms that milk from dairy goats “has 13 per cent less lactose than cow milk and contains smaller milk-fat particles, making it easier to digest. In many cases, people with cow milk allergies have no trouble consuming goat milk.”

Eskimos hope to end it early

With win against lowly Riders, Edmonton would host playoff game for first time since 2004 DARRYL DYCK/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Time: 7 p.m., Friday TV: TSN

The Edmonton Eskimos can lock up a home playoff date Friday by knocking off the Saskatchewan Roughriders — but they know it’s a contest that will be won in the first quarter. Take the game to the Riders from the opening whistle and it’s likely game over. Let them hang around and they may decide to fight hard to win one last time for their beloved retiring coach, Ken Miller. “It’s imperative we come out with a good start and jump on these guys early,” Eskimo linebacker Rod Davis said after practice Thursday. “I have been in that situation once, and we know that those guys’ bags are packed. They don’t really want to play. They’re thinking about being healthy and going off home.” On paper the final game of the regular season at Commonwealth Stadium is a ridiculous mismatch. The 10-7 Eskimos can take first place and a firstround playoff bye with a win and a Montreal victory over the B.C. Lions on Saturday. Saskatchewan is 5-12 and out of the playoffs.

Eskimos quarterback Ricky Ray sits on the turf after being sacked last week against the Lions.

They have a slew of injuries to key players like quarterback Darian Durant, linebacker Barrin Simpson and receiver Andy Fantuz. They’re 0-9 against the West Division and haven’t completed a pass for touchdown in 6 1⁄2 games. Edmonton has the league’s stingiest defence (22 points a game), versus Saskatchewan’s leagueworst offence (19 points per contest). In the previous two games, Edmonton beat up on Saskatchewan by a combined score of 59-29. The Eskimos’ biggest

Eskimos running back Jerome Messam has a personal goal to shoot for in the ﬁnale. He sits third overall in the CFL with 981 yards and six TDs and is just 19 yards short of 1,000 for the year. concern is themselves. They’re a young team that has turned over half the roster from last season’s non-playoff finish. They got the yips last week with a chance to lock

up first place with a win over the Lions. Instead, they missed tackles, blew assignments and found themselves in a first-quarter 14-point hole. They lost 29-22 to set up a three-way tie in the West with B.C. and the Calgary Stampeders. Quarterback Ricky Ray said there’s no such thing as a good loss, but it was better to get the nerves out of the way early. “Sometimes getting a loss out of the way helps you get refocused and heading in the right direction,” Ray said. “We’re a pretty loose

team generally. That’s what you want to see from week to week. But when it gets to game time, we’ve still got to have that looseness. We can’t all of a sudden get tight.” Running back Jerome Messam said they must establish the run game early, put the Riders defence on its heels and maybe sap its will to compete. “Those guys are going to be playing hard for their coach. They want to send him off with a win. It’s going to be big for us to come out and shut the door early,” said Messam.

Calvillo at the epicentre of Als’ decline CFL EXTRA POINTS DAN TOTH

EDMONTON@METRONEWS.CA

They haven’t fallen far, but the Montreal Alouettes are no longer kings of the CFL mountain. They can still finish first in the CFL East and earn a bye to the division final, but the Als have lost a step and it’s shown in recent losses to Winnipeg and Calgary. Montreal’s main culprit — surprisingly — has been QB Anthony Calvillo, who may be in his

final season with the most dominant team of the last decade. It’s simply unforgivable to stumble in the final weeks in games that could have earned the Als a bye to the East final, but this is not the same team, mainly due to Calvillo’s spotty play. Remarkably, the Montreal media has named Calvillo that team’s nominee for 2011 Most Outstanding Player, even though receiver Jamel Richardson is the better choice. Richardson has had a great year with 12 100-yard games and some 1,700 yards receiving. You could argue Richardson’s success is directly linked to Calvillo, although that

can be said for any team. Calvillo continues to pile up yards, but the team’s late-season swoon rests squarely on his shoulders. Return to Prairies unlikely for Austin: Kent Austin is the popular choice of Saskatchewan fans to be the Roughriders’ next coach, but it doesn’t look like it will happen. Austin, in his second season as head coach at Cornell University, guided the Riders to their last Grey Cup win in 2007 and is considered a god among the flatlanders. Problem is, Austin recently issued a statement that he’s happy coaching college and denied rumours the Riders contact-

‘I think theoretically, you could have Peyton for two or three more good years,’ says Irsay Peyton Manning and Jim Irsay agree on one thing: The Manning Era isn’t over in Indianapolis. Manning said Thursday he hopes to return to practice this year and still holds out hope of playing if he is fully healed from his Sept. 8 neck surgery. Irsay, the team owner, said he expects the four-time NFL MVP still has some good years in that right arm. But there are some big questions looming in Indy. The Colts (0-8) must decide whether to opt out of Manning’s five-year contract or pay a $28-million US bonus to keep him on the roster. And if they have a high draft pick next year,

ed him about the opening. The Riders whacked Greg Marshall after a 1-7 start this season and replaced him with Ken Miller. Earlier this week, Miller announced that he was resigning as head coach after this season. More likely candidates include Riders defensive co-ordinator Richie Hall, Montreal offen-

Indy also will have to decide whether to take Manning’s heir apparent, someone like Andrew Luck or Landry Jones. “It’s something you talk about and scenarios, who could be behind Peyton and how long you want him to sit and how much money you have committed to quarterbacks,” Irsay said. Manning hasn’t played since having surgery to repair a damaged nerve that caused weakness in his throwing arm. It was his third neck procedure in 19 months. “I think it’s too early to bury this era,” Irsay said in

an interview Thursday. Manning told reporters that he hopes to practice with his teammates in December and play in a game later this season. But he hasn’t been cleared for football activity by doctors. Irsay said there was less than a 50 per cent chance Manning would appear in a game this season. “I miss playing, I really do. If I get cleared to play and I’m good enough, would I play? Absolutely,” Manning said. “I’d love to because that’s how I’m wired, that’s my job and I love my job.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

knocked cold last weekend by Winnipeg defensive back Johnny Sears, who has been handed a one-game suspension. Jyles sat out last night’s finale in favour of backup Dalton Bell. Argos offensive linemen Rob Murphy and Taylor Robertson both tweeted their disgust, pecking out veiled threats toward Sears, and were subsequently fined by the league. The controversy triggered some Hogtown media to claim Sears got away easy and that a longer suspension was warranted. Not so. The CFL got it right this time and Sears will be back in time for the playoffs.

Bombers say they’re ready to win in Calgary Doug Brown believes the time is right for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to snap their ugly streak in southern Alberta. The Bombers haven’t beaten the Stampeders in Calgary since October 2002, but the 11-year veteran says that’s about to change. “It’s a perfect situation for this team ’cause that’s all we do — things out of the ordinary,” the defensive tackle said after Thursday’s practice. “Anything that is usual, expected, regular, we’re not going to do that.” Calgary and Winnipeg both have 10-7 records and their playoff pictures may or may not clear up after the game. A win and the Bombers get first place and the bye over the Montreal Alouettes (10-7). A loss and Winnipeg will have to hope the Als lose to the Lions in B.C. on Saturday night. If they finish tied, the Bombers get top spot for winning the season series. The Stampeders could finish anywhere from first to third in the West Division, depending on how the Lions and Edmonton Eskimos (10-7) fair. THE CANADIAN PRESS
