‘I don’t even have him to hold’ taylor Samson
Heartbroken mother opens up outside bail hearing Zane Woodford
Metro | Halifax The mother of a Dalhousie University student killed in August held back tears as she spoke Thursday during a break in the bail hearing for the man accused of his death. “I want my son home,” Linda Boutilier, mother of 22-year-old Taylor Samson, told reporters outside court. “All I have is memories, I don’t even have him to hold.” Boutilier said she’s focused on the search for her son, but police haven’t had any good news for her. She said she’d let the courts deal with the accused. “I can’t see him getting bail after everything they have,” she said. The evidence Boutilier is referring to is protected by a publication ban imposed by Justice Jamie Campbell when the hearing began on Wednesday. William Sandeson, 23, is applying for bail in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax. He’s been charged with firstdegree murder. On Thursday morning, testimony continued from a police officer working on the case. She was the second police officer to testify for Crown attor-

then called two of his own: Sandeson’s parents, Michael and Laurie Sandeson. Tan was proposing Sandeson’s parents be his sureties if he was released.
Sandeson cried during their testimony, asking the sheriffs to get him a tissue. Tan conferred with the accused twice during Thursday’s proceedings, and at one point Sandeson wrote a note and gave it to the sheriffs to pass to his lawyer. At the end of the day, Justice Campbell decided with the two lawyers to put the case over until Friday morning. Tan will argue first why his client should be let out on bail, and then MacKay will respond to his argument. Justice Campbell will then take a few hours to make his decision, and present it by the end of the day. Sandeson is accused of killing Samson in August, after he had been missing for four days. Police searched properties in Halifax and Truro, but Samson’s body hasn’t been found. Sandeson was scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court Friday to enter a plea on one charge of first-degree murder, but that appearance has been delayed to allow for the bail hearing to finish.

Dartmouth development gets mixed public reviews Meeting
Some residents argue threat to parking, traffic, local families Rebecca Dingwell
For Metro | Halifax A proposed Dartmouth development was met with some resistance at a public meeting on Thursday night. The meeting was held at Alderney Gate Library, so HRM staff and developers could hear questions and concerns from residents. Jean Rennie was one of over a dozen meeting attendees to voice her opinion. “This is a family-friendly area,” she said. “Twenty-four one bedroom units — it’s gonna be difficult to anticipate that they would be for families.” Worries about the building’s proposed seven-storey height were raised throughout the meeting, as well as afterward. “It seems to be at least two times taller than anything in the area,” said Josh MacDonald. The development, which will be located at 181 Pleasant St. if approved, would be in MacDonald’s neighbourhood. “Being on the southern side (of the building), my house will pretty much live

much less of a concern. “Our society is going to change so much within the next 10 years because of the autonomous car,” said Napier, and was met with a few chuckles from the room. “We won’t be putting any parking in any buildings in the future because it’s not economically viable.” Although many reactions to the plan were negative, some expressed excitement for the development, which they feel may draw more commercial
activity to the area. Colby Boudreau, owner of Coast Gas in Dartmouth, said he was looking forward to the building.
agreement, a staff report, a public hearing and a decision by council. Jillian Maclellan, an HRM planner, declined to be interviewed at the meeting.
“I don’t see really any downside to this project,” said Boudreau. “You’re never gonna make everybody happy with a project like this.”

‘It’s crazy’: 20-year-old Lotto 6-49 winner Kristen Lipscombe Metro | Halifax
Jamie MacKenzie is going from small-town gas station attendant to big-time, world-travelling lottery winner. The 20-year-old Timberlea woman picked up her oversized $1 million cheque from the Atlantic Lottery Corporation on Thursday night, during the first intermission of the Halifax Mooseheads game at the Scotiabank Centre.
“It’s crazy,” MacKenzie said after the official Lotto 649 presentation inside the downtown arena, as family members, friends and hockey fans cheered her on wildly. “I plan on travelling,” MacKenzie said, adding that includes taking two of her best gal pals to Disney World in Florida this November, as well as a potential romp around Europe, and “wherever it takes me.” MacKenzie also plans on paying off her student loans from the tourism and travel program she took at Eastern
College in Halifax. Proud mom Nancy’s eyes welled up with happy tears as she watched the excitement surrounding her daughter Thursday night. Nancy found out about her daughter’s lucky lottery ticket at “ten after six on a Sunday morning,” on Sept. 20, specifically. “She bolted through the doors and said, ‘Mom, I won a million dollars!’ Nancy recalled. MacKenzie’s last shift at the local Ultramar gas station was Monday.
Police on hunt for suspect A 49-year-old Halifax woman has been arrested and a 24-year-old Halifax man is wanted in relation to what police are calling an attempted murder. Officers arrested Christelle Ellison at about 11 p.m. on Wednesday night, but are still on the look out for the man, with police planning to release his name and photo to the public once they obtain an arrest warrant, according to an HRP news release. Ellison was set to appear in Halifax provincial court Thursday afternoon to face three counts of accessory after the fact, for allegedly assisting the other suspect after the violent incident, which took place just before 3:50 p.m. Wednesday, A 46-year-old man ended up in hospital with life-threatening injuries as a result of the assault, which Halifax Regional Police responded to in the area of Artz and Brunswick streets in the city’s north end. The victim was struck with a “blunt object during the altercation,” police said. He was still in hospital with serious injuries late Wednesday night. Metro Accident

Man hit by wood, seriously injured A man was seriously injured after he was struck by a piece of wood hanging off a passing trailer while he filled up his gas tank, police say. Around 9 a.m. Thursday, Halifax Regional Police said a man had his car pulled over to the side of the road in an outbound lane on the Bedford Highway near Hammonds Plains Road to fill up when he was hit by a large piece of wood hanging off the trailer of a passing vehicle. The man was slammed into his own vehicle and then fell to the ground, police said. Paramedics took the man to hospital with what police say are significant but nonlife-threatening injuries. The man driving the truck that was hauling the trailer soon pulled over on Convoy Run after a witness to the incident flagged him down, police said. Metro

Donair Halifax T-shirts help back official food idea
Coun. Linda Mosher Metro file

Metro | Halifax
This is one donair you don’t need to worry about getting on your shirt. Local business Kool T’s and More on Isleville Street in Halifax has created a T-shirt design for those donair lovers who want to support the dish as the city’s official food. “We have friends that moved away, come home, and immediately they get off the plane and we take them to get a donair,” said co-owner Jan Romans on Thursday. “It’s kind of close to our heart as well.” Although the wrap of spiced beef and sweet garlic sauce has been a staple of Halifax for many years, the donair spiked as a topic of conversation this week when Coun. Linda Mosher requested a staff report on making it Halifax’s official food — and regional council agreed to it. “I don’t think it’s crazy at all,” Romans said. “We already thought that anyway.” Romans said her husband, Rob Romans, came up with the design of a donair hovering in the text of “Donair Halifax” on Wednesday, and put it out on social media

Thursday. So far they’ve got a few comments, re-tweets and printed
off a couple of shirts, but Romans said they’re hoping more residents might enjoy showing
their donair pride. With all the buzz about the donair possibly becoming official, Romans said she told her husband there’s no reason why they shouldn’t have “a kick at the can.” “There’s no reason why we can’t hop on that bandwagon,” Romans laughed.
Dartmouth Handcrafters Guild presents:
After all, Romans said signature food like donairs and fish and chips sets Halifax apart, since when they visited Toronto this summer their friends couldn’t tell them what to try. “I was a little bit put out,” Romans said. “Nothing really specific. It really makes you think.”

One Halifax councillor could soon be getting an offer to update their wardrobe. Jan and Rob Romans of Kool T’s unveiled a Donair Halifax T-shirt Thursday in support of regional council’s decision to ask for a staff report that would examine whether the donair should become the city’s official food. Coun. Linda Mosher tabled the request Tuesday, which Jan Romans said was a great idea from her councillor in the Spryfield area. Romans said she would “absolutely” love to see Mosher in a donair shirt at the council table. “I should really reach out to her and offer her to give her one to wear,” Romans said. “That would be cool.”

Restaurant ‘was a lifelong passion’ food service
Tess closing, fusion Chinese eatery to open in its place Haley Ryan
Metro | Halifax One of Halifax’s favourite brunch places is going out “on a high note.” Next Monday, Oct. 26, marks the last day for Tess in Halifax’s north end on Charles Street, as owner Shawna MacLellan has transferred the building to new owners after deciding not to fulfill her lease. “I put it out there thinking it would take a year or two, and literally it took hours,” MacLellan said Thursday. The space will reopen as a fusion Chinese restaurant
Shawna MacLellan said the change in the north end has been “amazing” ever since she took over, and hopes their regulars continue to support the new restaurant.
You Gotta Eat Here! “There’s a lot of sad people but … this was a lifelong passion,” MacLellan said. “It’s really the best-case scenario because we’re going out on such a high note.” Chi Bistro will keep on chef Christopher Spencer, MacLellan said, and all eight staff members have been offered jobs in the new restaurant. And the popular sweet and savoury crepes are likely staying on the menu. “Crepes are also very big in China which I did not know,” MacLellan said.

called Chi Bistro, MacLellan said, with expanded evening hours and a menu that will keep some of the breakfast items around when it opens in November. After nearly two years at Tess and about 25 years in the restaurant industry where she worked as server and manager, MacLellan said she is ready to retire to spend time with her children, volunteer, and travel. MacLellan said running her own restaurant was “a dream come true,” when she took over from Tess founder Liz Cunningham in early 2014, and expanded the offerings with a five-course tasting menu. Cunningham brought the now-famous crepes and breakfast menu into the north end in September 2009, and MacLellan said she has even been helping out in recent weeks if they’re short-handed. The restaurant also appeared on The Food Network’s

Criminal Negligence
Judge grants defence request for man who shot, killed son A new sentencing hearing date has been set for a Nova Scotia man who shot his son to death in 2011. A hearing for Michael Paul Dockrill of Lakeside was expected to start Thursday in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax, but Judge Josh Arnold granted a

During today’s hearing he said he’ll be referring to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling from last spring which didn’t accept a mandatory minimum sentence. Arnold asked Church to provide further analysis of his argument in a written submission due on Nov. 20. Dockrill, 56, was convicted

for Metro | Halifax Wes Booth hitchhiked around the province painting noses blue. Booth, 24, is one of the founders of We Are Nova Scotia — a group dedicated to social media marketing and re-defining Nova Scotia’s identity. Booth was one of two speakers addressing the role of youth in Nova Scotia at the Collide Halifax Conference on Thursday. “We need more people (in the province),” said Booth. “We need less stigma around the CFA (and) immigration.” The “bluenoser by choice” campaign, which lead to Booth’s hitchhiking trip, was We Are Nova Scotia’s first project. “We’ve really keyed in on youth as the driving force and using social media as the chan-

nel to distribute our messaging,” explained Booth. We Are Nova Scotia currently has another project in the works. “We’re really excited… We’re not going to talk too much about
it until we make our announcement.” Danny Graham of the OneNS Coalition put forth youth-specific recommendations to help Nova Scotia thrive.
“The future of our beautiful province is at stake,” Graham told attendees. These recommendations follow-up on the Ivany report and address the findings that net
outmigration has reduced the population of Nova Scotians aged 20-29 by an average of 1.3 per cent every year for the past 10 years. “Youth retention is about more than strengthening our economy,” Graham said after the talk. “It’s about enhancing our culture and ensuring that we have vibrant, inclusive communities.” Graham said the problem doesn’t stop at young people who are able to find jobs. “It’s not necessarily an employment opportunity that exists today that worries people,” he said. “It’s their confidence that they will be able to build a career over their lifetime.”

Halifax group rides in memory of cyclist Public Safety
Coalition raises awareness of bike policies, infrastructure Rebecca Dingwell
For Metro | Halifax Cyclists in Halifax will be riding their bicycles along Herring Cove Road on Saturday morning in memory of a woman killed while cycling in the area earlier this month. Loresa Makonin died in a collision with a propane truck on Oct. 7. Not only was she an avid cyclist, but Makonin was also an artist and an employee of the Marriott Harbourfront Hotel in Halifax, according to the Halifax Cycling Coalition, which is putting on
the event. “The purpose of the event is to express positive support for better bicycle infrastructure, education, and policy in Halifax,” said a media release. The ride will begin at 10 a.m. at the Herring Cove Road Sobeys. Cyclists will bike down Herring Cove Road toward the intersection with Purcell’s Cove Road, where the group will turn right and finish at the bottom of the hill. According to the release, the two hills at this intersection make it difficult for road users to see. Heavy traffic volumes also make it difficult for drivers to safely turn. Those interested in participating are encouraged to register on the Halifax Cycling Coalition website to accept the liability waiver. Police say no charges are being laid in relation to the fatal collision.

Attraction needs repair cape breton
Nearly $1.5M required to fix Miners’ Museum A popular Cape Breton tourist attraction has identified close to $1.5 million in repairs needed to address its crumbling infrastructure. The Cape Breton Miners’ Museum opened as a centennial project in 1967 to tell the story of the Cape Breton coal miner. “The building has started to show its age and drastically needs some money spent to revitalize the structure, otherwise one of the gems of Cape Breton Island will be at risk,” said board chair James Kerr. A building envelope assessment conducted by Michael MacDonald Architectural Concepts identified the scope of the work needed to be done to the community museum. In particular, the site is facing serious leakage, ventilation, energy efficiency and architectural issues. “Water is getting in and
the heat is getting out, and the leaks are getting worse,” said executive director Mary Pat Mombourquette. Kerr and Mombourquette provided an overview this week for Cape Breton Regional Municipality councillors of the plight facing the museum. They did not ask for a specific financial contribution from the municipality. “What we’re really asking for is, when budget time comes if you could consider the needs of Cape Breton Miners’ Museum, the community would greatly appreciate it,” Mombourquette said. tc media
funding woes The museum has an annual budget of about $350,000, with attendance generating about $150,000 in revenue each year. The board is planning a general mailing this fall seeking some donations. They use social media tools including Facebook and Twitter as well as its website to promote museum events.

In the Halifax region, police said six people — five female and one male aged 15 to 22 — were interviewed in early October by the vice unit of the integrated criminal investigation division. A minor was returned to parents’ custody, the release said. haley ryan/metro
A Cape Breton woman sentenced for her role in the brutal attack on a homeless man in 2014 is again before the court, charged with breaching the conditions of her sentence. Jennifer Lynn MacLeod, 23, of Boularderie, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to an aggravated assault, along with
breaching a court order. She was sentenced in June to serve a 15-day jail sentence along with a two-year probation period. The jail sentence was for one year but MacLeod was given credit for 350 days she spent on remand. MacLeod is now back before the court, charged with two breaches of her proba-
tion. MacLeod was scheduled to appear in provincial court this week but the court was told she has entered a rehabilitation facility for substance abuse and the case was adjourned until Nov. 17 for plea. MacLeod was one of six accused charged in the July 14, 2014, attack on Shawn
Kurtis Jack, 48, a homeless man originally from Truro who erected his own shelter in a wooded area in North Sydney. Four people were involved in the attack, while two others provided assistance after the beating. Jack suffered permanent brain damage and continues his recovery in a rehabilitation facility. tc media

things on PM’s to-do list
Justin Trudeau rose to power on a sweeping platform that promises everything from middle-class tax cuts to legalizing marijuana. Here, Metro examines some of the most immediate items on the incoming prime minister’s to-do list. Metro is going to keep track of whether or not he fulfills those promises, and starting Monday we’ll take an in-depth look at each of them. Michael Woods
Metro | Ottawa
Gender parity
“My Liberal cabinet will have an equal number of men and women.” What: Trudeau promised gender parity in his cabinet. How: Naming a cabinet is a delicate and difficult task with many factors to consider, including geographical representation, political experience and ethnic and linguistic diversity. When: Trudeau will name his cabinet on Nov. 4.
Tax cuts and tax hikes
Syrian refugees
“My Liberal cabinet will have an equal number of men and women.” What: The Liberals have said their first act upon recalling Parliament will be to pass legislation enacting the middle class tax cut that formed the backbone of their platform. How: The Liberals will cut the middle-income tax bracket to 20.5 per cent from 22 per cent and add a new tax bracket of 33 per cent for people earning more than $200,000 per year. When: As soon as Parliament resumes.
“Canada must immediately accept 25,000 Syrian refugees, stop dragging its heels and understand that we must once again be the country that we like to think of ourselves as.” What: The Liberals pledged to expand Canada’s intake of refugees from Syria by 25,000 “through immediate government sponsorship.” How: The plan includes $100 million this fiscal year to speed up refugee processing, and another $100 million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to support relief efforts. When: By the end of the year.
Climate change
Indigenous women
“We will work with communities and with engaged stakeholders to ensure that we get moving on this quickly.” What: Trudeau has committed to a national inquiry into the more than 1,200 cases of missing and murdered indigenous women. How: He didn’t specify this week exactly when it would start. But he said he’ll sit down soon with Perry Bellegarde, the Assembly of First Nations national chief, to discuss the matter. When: Unknown.
“We will go to Paris united as a country in our desire to reduce our emissions in a significant and serious way.” What: The United Nations climate change conference in Paris starts Nov. 30. How: Trudeau said he would bring the premiers with him, and work with them to establish a national framework to fight climate change, including new national emissions reduction targets. When: Within 90 days.
Some other promises to keep an eye on Senate reform With 22 vacancies and a Conservative majority in the Senate, Trudeau may have to move quickly so legislation passes in the upper house. He has promised a non-partisan, meritbased process to advise him on Senate appointments.
Long-form census Trudeau has promised to restore the mandatory long-form census, which the Conservatives scrapped in 2010. Critics said its replacement, the National Household Survey, was more expensive and less reliable.
Combat mission in Iraq Trudeau committed during the campaign to ending Canada’s bombing mission against ISIL and refocusing on training local forces.
Electoral reform Trudeau has vowed that 2015 will include the last federal election conducted under the first-past-the-post voting system, and to introduce electoral reform legislation within 18 months after a parliamentary committee studies all the options.
Legalizing marijuana It was one of Trudeau’s first policy planks after being elected leader of the Liberal party in 2013. The Liberals have said they will create a task force to design a new system
of “strict marijuana sales and distribution.” They will also remove marijuana consumption and incidental possession from the Criminal Code.

‘It’s sadness, but it’s also pride’ Ottawa shooting
Thousands mark 1-year anniversary Joe Lofaro
Metro | Ottawa Marcus Cirillo, son of fallen soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, had a front row seat to an emotional show of sympathy and honour on Thursday as thousands of people gathered to mark the one-year an-
niversary of the Ottawa shooting. The six-year-old boy sat with his family just a few feet away from where his father was fatally gunned down from behind by a shooter on Oct. 22, 2014, who then stormed into Parliament Hill’s Centre Block. The event also honoured the life of warrant officer Patrice Vincent, who was purposefully run over by a vehicle two days earlier in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. It was a sombre ceremony, marked by several moments of silent reflection that was only pierced by the sounds of march-
CPl. nathan cirillo Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, was shot fatally from behind by a lone gunman, who then raced into the House of Commons before he, too, was gunned down. Cirillo, a member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders regiment, left a young son, Marcus Ciril-
lo, as well as his mother, stepfather and siblings who were in attendance. The young corporal and his partner, Cpl. Branden Stevenson, were on ceremonial sentry duty at the war memorial when Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, shot him in the back. THE CANADIAN PRESS
ing orders of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a 21-gun salute, and a CF-18 flyby. Thousands of people lined the streets surrounding the National War Memorial hoping to get a glimpse of the ceremony and to hear Gov. Gen. David Johnston speak. “Last year many people said Canada would never be the same. But I don’t think Canada changed forever. Canadians are a caring and courageous people. This is who we are and that will not change,” said Johnston. Yvan and Angela Barbe, veterans with the Canadian Armed Forces, were among the dozens of people who laid a bouquet of flowers at the memorial. Their son, Canadian Air Force aviator Remi Barbe, was the one who handed Trudeau and Harper the wreath Thursday. It was “amazing” to see such a large crowd to pay their respects, but he said he now has mixed emotions when he walks by the War Memorial. “It’s sadness, but it’s also pride,” he said.

20 Weekend, October 23-25, 2015 IN BRIEF 70 prisoners freed from ISIL in U.S./Iraqi raid Believing that Islamic State captives held on a compound in northern Iraq faced “imminent mass execution,” dozens of U.S. special operations troops and Iraqi forces raided the site Thursday, freeing approximately 70 Iraqi prisoners in an operation that saw the first American killed in combat in the country since the U.S. war against IS began in 2014, officials said.

At least 10 dead in Shiite mosque suicide bomb A suicide bomber targeted a Shiite mosque in southwest Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least 10 people and wounding several others, a government official said. Six children were among those killed, Bugti said. The male suicide bomber was wearing a woman’s headto-toe burqa dress to deceive guards, he said. The Associated Press
World
Israel
One dead in case of mistaken identity A Jewish Israeli man was shot and killed in a scuffle with Israeli soldiers who suspected he was a Palestinian attacker, police said Thursday, in a reflection of the jittery mood that has gripped Israelis amid a spate of near-daily stabbings. The shooting came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Germany for talks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on how to restore calm. Kerry is set to meet with the Palestinians this weekend. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the shooting of the Israeli man in Jerusalem late Wednesday occurred after soldiers patrolling the area asked him to show his ID as he got off a bus.
The man refused, scuffled with the soldiers and then attempted to seize one of their weapons. A private security guard nearby shot the man, and one soldier also opened fire, police said. The man later died of his wounds. Police said the soldiers had grown suspicious when the man, speaking in Hebrew, asked to see their IDs and proclaimed, “I am ISIS,” referring to the Islamic State militant group. “The soldiers had high suspicions that he was a terrorist,” Rosenfeld said. Police later identified the man as a 28-year-old Jewish resident of Jerusalem, without providing further details. The Associated Press
The current outbreak Ten Israelis have been killed over the last month, mainly in stabbing attacks. On the Palestinian side, 48 people have been killed, 27 of them labeled by Israel as attackers, the others killed in clashes with Israeli
forces. The violence erupted a month ago, fueled by rumours that Israel was plotting to take over a sensitive Jerusalem holy site revered by both Jews and Muslims. The Associated Press
Save today. And even more tomorrow.
Balkans
Police struggle to handle thousands of refugees Refugees traded punches and scuffled with police at a Serbian border crossing and a man was stabbed in a similar clash on the Slovenian border Thursday, as pent-up pressures on their trek toward hoped-for safe haven in the European Union boiled over. Slovenian police said the stabbing took place near Rigonci earlier in the day, and that the victim was given medical treatment. The unrest at Berkasovo village on the Serbian border subsided after several minutes. But the outbreak reflected the frustrations of the tens of thousands of people facing long waits and other hardships as they make their way north over the Balkans each day in search of better lives in prosperous EU countries. Further along that route, Austrian police moved to relieve pent-up pressure which they feared could lead to violence, removing barriers at an overcrowded collection point at a border crossing with Slovenia. A day earlier, thousands of refugees broke through police obstacles at the same collection centre at the Spielfeld border point. Many of the refugees spilled out of the facility Thursday but then gathered nearby, following police instructions. But many others walked away from the border. The collection area just inside the Austrian border was again full by afternoon. Police and soldiers struggled to maintain

order as the crowd surged every time a group was separated for transport by bus to shelters and processing. Trampled, pushed or otherwise hurt, several people were seen receiving medical attention, including one boy, about 8 years old, whose leg was being
bandaged and a younger boy being given oxygen. At least two adults were taken away on stretchers. A police officer with a loudspeaker urged people to sit and wait for buses, warning “if you make trouble, we make trouble.” The Associated Press

Tensions rise at border crossings
2015-10-06 3:59 PM
The teenage refugees had a new home in the newly built asylum centre in southern Sweden. Hours before moving in, flames broke out in the wooden barracks. No one was hurt. But it was among a spate of fires at asylum facilities raising concerns that the Scandinavian country’s generous policy toward refugees is under a serious backlash. “Happily no one has died. These people have fled war,
hunger, terror, poverty and found shelter here, where they are met with fire,” said Mona Lindgren, a retired shopkeeper in this sleepy town just north of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city. “That’s not acceptable.” Last week’s fire at the barracks, intended as temporary housing for unaccompanied children, was quickly extinguished, but the building became uninhabitable. The Associated Press
More fires Early Thursday, a former retirement home, also meant for refugees, was partly damaged by fire; no one was inside at the time. Two days earlier 14 refugees were evacuated in the middle of the night from a burning building near Munkedal, in southwestern Sweden. The Associated Press

Airbnb offers host insurance sharing economy
Canada one of 15 new countries to get protection Airbnb is adding a new level of insurance coverage in Canada as part of wider support for people who list their properties through its service. The online accommodation provider announced Thursday that its Host Protection Insurance program, which launched earlier this year in the United States, would be rolled out in 15 more countries. The expanded coverage will provide compensation if a guest is injured at a property listed on Airbnb and brings a claim against the host. The insurance could also cover damages a guest causes to the surrounding area of a property — such as accidental water
damage if a pipe burst affects a neighbouring apartment. Coverage, which comes at no additional cost to the host, tops out at $1 million, the company said. The Host Protection Insurance program, which will be provided through a partnership with a Lloyd’s of London participating insurer, comes after Airbnb spent four years on an agreement that satisfied the insurers, said Airbnb product lead Jonathan Golden. “The insurance industry is not fast paced, so it has taken time to educate them on these platforms,” he said. “It has been a challenge to handle products like these (which are) unique and indi-

vidual solutions.” Airbnb has been growing in popularity as the so-called “sharing economy” becomes more commonplace with the help of taxi-hailing service Uber and various other apps. Golden said Airbnb executives wanted to line up a significant number of countries before it launched the expanded insurance coverage. Since its U.S. launch in January, less than 50 claims have been filed under the Host Protection program when factoring in all of the eight million guest bookings, he said. Airbnb, which offers a substitute to hotels, has about 33,000 host listings across Canada. THE CANADIAN PRESS

CATHERINE LITTLE ON TALKING TO KIDS ABOUT SAD STUFF
A horrible car crash. Three sisters killed in a farm accident. The anniversary of the shooting in our nation’s capital. These images are seared into our collective memory. The reality is, many children will experience death. When I was in Grade 10, there was an announcement on the PA system in the middle of English class. A student had died. I remember the teacher was visibly shaken. What made me think about this more than 30 years later were recent news events. Multiple horrible car crashes. Three sisters killed in a farm accident. The anniversary of shooting in our nation’s capital that left a young soldier dead. These deaths were particularly horrific and will be deeply traumatic to many. The images of the dead and grieving seared into our collective memory. The reality is many children will experience death, sometimes that of a young friend. Occasionally, they learn about these things at school or in the media. Teachers can help, but other significant adults are just as important. A 2013 paper in the Alberta Journal of Educational Research reported that teachers are uncertain about discussing death in the classroom. And it certainly wasn’t covered when I went to teacher’s college. I wish I had been better prepared when one of my students died suddenly a few months into Grade Seven. My principal phoned me at home on a Sunday night so I would know ahead of the PA announcement. It was my first year teaching and I was struggling to get to know almost 200 students. It was her first year at a new school.
Children need to talk about death. Protecting them from what has happened often leaves them feeling alone, even alienated.

The complex feminism of the woman trying to clear Ghomeshi’s name
Natasha Cirillo, sister of the late Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, comforts the soldier’s six-year-old son Marcus during a ceremony marking the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 22, 2014 Parliament Hill shooting. Significant adults — parents, teachers, extended family and even coaches — have a responsibility to answer kids’ questions about death head-on, writes Catherine Little. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Students and staff were encouraged to attend the funeral, and counselors were available. But we didn’t know who would need the most support. Some of the students barely knew who she was. Others were close friends. Significant adults — parents, guardians, extended family, special teachers and coaches etc. — are vital in these situations. According to the Canadian Virtual Hospice, children need to talk about death. Research shows that honesty is the best course of action. Protecting children from what has happened often
leaves them feeling alone, even alienated. And yes, children can even become deeply affected by a tragic story on the news. Each death will affect each child differently. It helps if there is an adult to start an honest conversation. It can start very simply with, “I’m really sad that they died. How do you feel?” Acknowledging feelings and leaving an open invitation to talk can make the difference. The student who died when I was in Grade 10 was my friend Loretta. No one in my high school knew we had been

friends since we were six or so. I visited her at home when she got sick. I stood by her hospital bed when we knew the end was near. And yet, I learned about her death like it was a reminder to try out for the volleyball team. Luckily, I had some significant adults in my life. They didn’t tell me it was for the best. They listened when I needed to rail against the injustice of it. But mostly, they were there to sit with me when I didn’t want to be alone. Catherine Little is a science and mathematics educator, consultant and writer.
It’s hard not to admire — even idolize — Marie Henein. Particularly after you’ve read the new magazine profile of her. Until it landed this week in Toronto Life, Henein had been defined in most Canadians’ minds as the enigmatic lawyer representing former CBC host Jian Ghomeshi against explosive sexual assault charges. That made her, to some, an enemy of feminism. To others, it made her not just a boss, but the boss. A frighteningly smart, incredibly talented (not to mention impeccably dressed) woman at the very top of criminal defense law in this country. So what if she is defending an alleged predator? Someone’s got to. Now, Henein is allowing us a far more intimate look, from which emerges a far more complex picture. And there are two questions to ask: Why now? And what (or so what) about her feminism? Described as a shark, a brilliant strategist and incredibly hardworking, Henein also emerges as an astute sculpturer of her own image. There are no missteps, there is always calculation. Take this comment, which a CBC story attributes to a lecture she gave in 2010: “The importance of developing your narrative starts from the moment the client walks into your office. It drives everything that you do, your analysis of the law, your
comments to the media, your approach with experts and witnesses.” Under that light, I read the article as part of the Ghomeshi saga. After all, Henein hardly needs the media profile — she got that just by taking the case, and her handling of it will speak far more than a magazine piece. Then there’s her feminism. A criminally low sexualassault conviction rate in this country won’t go away if lawyers like Henein keep doing their best in a system stacked against victims. On the flip side, lawyers should always do their best. Even if that means — as Henein has done in the past — attacking the credibility an alleged victim. She is undoubtedly a feminist, who rejects the message women have to be perfect to “have it all.” She brushes off questions about juggling motherhood and work by telling women to just do it. But that’s not the sentiment of someone inclined to prioritize structural inequality in society, or our legal system, over individual agency. Henein’s apparent religious devotion to the law seems to supersede her feminism. We seem to want powerful women to reflect our own brand of feminism. But Henein seems to judge herself on her devotion to upholding the law. It’s hardly fair to condemn her for doing exactly that.

Smarter than Stallone, younger than Schwarzenegger and with even less hair than Bruce Willis, his appeal transcends his biceps.
Before he was Hollywood’s ATM Vin Diesel is so convinced his new film The Witch Hunter will do well that he announced back in July the studio wants him to commit to a sequel. contributed Vin Diesel
Self-directed debut led to Saving Private Ryan role Richard Crouse
For Metro Canada Usually the scariest thing about Vin Diesel is the amount of money his movies make. The Fast and Furious franchise has raked in more than $4 billion. Add in revenue from Guardians of the Galaxy and Riddick and you have a truly terrifying amount of money.
JackFM Halifax Infographics 10x2.indd 1
In his new film, The Last Witch Hunter, the raspy-voiced actor boasts, “You know what I’m afraid of ? Nothing,” as he delivers scares playing an immortal warrior who must prevent evil New York witches from destroying the world. The 48-year-old is so convinced the movie will do well, he’s already announced that the studio is developing a sequel. “The first one doesn’t hit theatres until October 23rd,” he wrote on Facebook in July, “yet they want me to commit and already block out time to film it.” Before Fast and Furious made him Hollywood’s version of an ATM, Diesel made baby steps towards becoming a superstar. Director Steven Spielberg saw Multi-Facial, Diesel’s self directed, written, produced and
scored über low budget short film and was so taken with the young actor he had the role of Private Caparzo in Saving Private Ryan specially written for him. The result was an effective performance that mixed physicality with poignancy. Winning the role, he says, was “like one of those Hollywood fairy tales that you never believed.” Critics began to take notice. New York Times critic A.O. Scott said he, “may be the sexiest ugly man in movies since Anthony Quinn” as Diesel lent his distinctive gravelly voice to the title character in the animated film The Iron Giant and played streetwise stockbroker Chris Varick in the 2000 stockbroker drama Boiler Room. His breakout performance came with the sci-fi film Pitch

Black. “Richard B. Riddick,” he says by way of introduction. “Escaped convict. Murderer.” Artificial eyes allow Riddick to see in the dark, making him very useful when bloodthirsty creatures attack during a monthlong eclipse. The character became a franchise for the actor, spawning sequels, video games and animated films. “I know it sounds corny but I feel like I learn about myself when I play that character,” said
Diesel. “Going to that dark isolated place produces some kind of vision or understanding about myself. He mirrors my own quest for identity, my eternal quest as a child.” Movies like Knockaround Guys and Babylon A.D. played on his tough guy persona, but with The Pacifier he tried to switch from cracking ribs to tickling funny bones. Playing a Navy Seal assigned to protect a house full of out-of-control kids,
he attempted to prove he was more than just a muscle mass that got lucky in pictures. The chaotic comedy made some money, but ultimately proved Diesel’s strength lay in muscle, not mayhem. Since then he has stayed the course, pumping out action-adventure films — including the soon-to-be relaunched xXx— proving himself to be a great action star. Smarter than Stallone, younger than Schwarzenegger and with even less hair than Bruce Willis, his appeal transcends his biceps, as he also appears to have a brain in his head. Throw in a large dollop of charisma and look out Jason Statham, you’re about to be kick boxed into the old age home.

things we learned from the Star Wars trailer (or think we did)
After a year of being teased, we finally got a full trailer this week for the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens. It answered many questions but also raised new ones. What did we actually learn from the trailer? Quite a bit, but little of it is confirmed. Rigorous precautions have been taken to keep the plot of this seventh episode top secret. We can, however, tease out at least five things from the evidence at hand, with the assistance of fan speculation online. Torstar News service
The Force is for real
Darth Vader has an evil apprentice
The action picks up 30 years after events in 1983’s Return of the Jedi, long enough for younger people to wonder if stories about the Force and the dark side and Jedi Knights are real. “It’s true,” Harrison Ford’s Han Solo says. “All of it.”
Adam Driver’s villainous Kylo Ren, along with having a cool crossbar light sabre first glimpsed in last year’s teaser, harbours ambitions to follow in Darth Vader’s despotic footsteps with the First Order, an evil organization that morphed out of the vanquished Empire. “I will finish what you started,” he says, as Vader’s crumpled face mask suddenly flashes onscreen.
Rey takes the lead from Luke
Leia is upset
British actress Daisy Ridley is assuming the main hero role in The Force Awakens, similar to Mark Hamill’s Jedi Knight trainee Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy. Her scavenger character Rey is every bit as resourceful as Luke, who so far has been barely seen and heard from. And her roly-poly sidekick droid BB-8 recalls Luke’s mechanical pal R2-D2.
Han Solo and Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia got happily married after all, but now they’re very worried about something. They’re briefly seen embracing in a manner that suggests great concern — Leia seems to be crying. Are they fearful for the fate of the galaxy or their daughter, who many fans think is Rey?
Trudeau in on the action Even Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister-designate, got in on the act. The same night his Liberals roared to a governing majority in the federal election, he viewed the Star Wars trailer with his family. He was photographed watching his two young sons duel with toy light sabres.
Right from the first teaser last year, John Boyega’s character Finn was hinted to be an Imperial Stormtrooper who is trying to go straight. He was trained to be a ferocious TIE Fighter but now says, “I have nothing to fight for.” Oscar Isaac’s X-Wing pilot character Poe Dameron, meanwhile, seems to be having trouble choosing between the light and the dark sides. He’s seen screaming at someone who appears to be Kylo Ren.
Bad guy goes good The most likely thing of all?
While the actual plot of the new Star Wars film is still top secret, there’s much to be gleaned from the trailer. HANDOUT
Barring any galactic leaks, the full story of The Force Awakens won’t be known until Dec. 18, or very near it.

There was glam rock. There was new wave. And who could forget disco. But there is one 1970’s musical movement that you may not have heard of — northern soul. Captured in the new film Northern Soul, the cultural movement briefly emerged in a distinct part of Britain and it consisted of particular dance moves and a penchant for obscure American soul music. Photographer-turned-filmmaker Elaine Constantine has such fond memories of being a part those dance-hall days, she spent 15 years making a drama about coming-of-age in the midst of that northern English scene. “Whenever I wasn’t shooting photographs or in the lab, I was writing this film and trying to get it produced,” admitted Constantine recently about the
inspired narrative of two teens discovering the scene. “Everything that happened has happened to someone at some point that I know and the actual characters all exist — they’re all real people (so) they kind of wrote themselves in a way.” Over those years, Constantine slowly accumulated funds, found her cast and taught hundreds of extras specific dance moves (“we were training those kids for three or four years”) but once she completed her project, she was disappointed to discover her efforts would only be seen on a handful of screens across the U.K. “We put the message out to all the fans who had been following the film’s progress and said demand your local cinema puts it on,” said Constantine, whose followers were obviously eager.
“Within two weeks we had 125 cinemas confirmed.” Northern Soul became a hit at the U.K. box office and has since been impressing moviegoers with its heartwarming nostalgia and eye-opening thesis that the northern soul movement marks the origin of today’s massive DJ culture — a genre that has seen the rise of such superstars as Deadmau5 and Tiësto. As exemplified in Northern Soul, the DJs that spun these obscure soul records became de facto celebrities simply because they withheld the identity of the artists behind the music they spun. “These (musicians) who were making these records had no idea they were even famous,” she says. Northern Soul is available on iTunes and VOD. steve gow/metro

Sorkin turns fact into fiction

interview
Writer behind Steve Jobs film defends his creative liberties Aaron Sorkin will remind you that he is a writer when talking about his latest film, Steve Jobs. As such, the dialogue-heavy account of the late Apple cofounder’s life contains obvious fabrications in service of a larger truth. It’s centred on a series of verbal smackdowns between Jobs and various members of his inner circle, with Michael Fassbender starring as the tyrannical genius, Seth Rogen as co-founder/friend Steve (Woz) Wozniak and Kate Winslet as former Macintosh marketing chief Joanna Hoffman. In the face of ardent critics — including Jobs’s widow Laurene, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Apple’s head of design and close friend Jony Ive — Sorkin has insisted this is “a painting, not a photograph.” “I would describe almost all non-fiction movies that way. But this one in particular,” the screenwriter says in a recent visit to Toronto to discuss the film, which largely steers clear of impersonations and familiar catchphrases. “And that’s not to say I’ve changed any biographical facts about Steve Jobs. Here’s what I’ve done: Steve did not have confrontations with the same five people 40 minutes before every product launch that he did. That’s a writer’s conceit and it announces itself pretty early on as one. The content of those confrontations, those are real.” If people are looking for a journalistic account, Sorkin encourages them to check out Walter Isaacson’s exhaustive biography. “The Santa Fe Opera just commissioned an opera about Steve Jobs that’ll be out in 2017 — I wonder if people are going to be going around saying, ‘Now, wait a second. Was Steve really a tenor in real life?”’ Here Sorkin talks about condensing a life and dealing with critics. The construct employed here is obvious. But people who were close to Jobs seem to be upset that softer elements of the man they knew are not presented as they’d like.

The people who knew Steve well who have seen the movie ... have reacted very positively to it Aaron Sorkin
The people I think you’re talking about — Mrs. Jobs, Tim Cook the CEO of Apple, Jony Ive — haven’t seen the movie. So they wouldn’t know what’s in the movie. I think they’re reacting to Walter’s book and they don’t know what’s in the movie. The people who knew Steve well who have seen the movie (including) Woz ... have reacted very positively to it and feel that Steve was captured. So I would just ask that judgment be reserved until you’ve seen the movie. It is the movie you set out to make. I’m really proud of everything that I’ve written — and that said, there isn’t anything that I’ve written that I wouldn’t mind having back and doing it again.
And the same is true for this movie, for Steve Jobs, but not because of anything anyone has said.... It’s a little surprising that there are certain things which in 2015 are coming up with very sophisticated audiences. For instance, take a movie like The Queen — no one thinks that Peter Morgan, the writer of The Queen, was actually in Balmoral Castle when these discussions were going on.... Writers are going to invent dialogue because people don’t speak in dialogue and people’s lives don’t unfold in a series of scenes that form a narrative arc. Seth Rogen will surprise his comedy fans for showing a lot of emotion as Woz. He’s fantastic in this movie. I think I’m right that we didn’t discuss any other actor but Seth. Someone who can do comedy as honestly and intelligently as Seth does, there’s really no worry in your mind that they’re going to be able to do this material. You’d worry, ‘Is someone able to be funny?’ but you wouldn’t worry going the other way. I never had a concern about Seth being able to handle this material. the canadian press

BOOKS IF YOU CAN’t get enough of BASEBALL If there was ever a time to venture into the sports genre, this is it. One in four Canadians tuned in to some part of Game 5 last week when the Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers. Now, even more is at stake as Toronto attempts to avoid elimination and advance to the World Series for the first time since 1993. From historical to analytical, biographical to fiction, baseball literature — like the games themselves — can capture the imagination of anyone. Metro looks at five recent books if you want even more baseball before Friday’s important game ETHAN ROTBERG/FOR METRO
The rules The game changer At 13 years old, Mo’ne Davis was on the cover of Sports Illustrated after becoming the first female pitcher to win a game in the Little League World Series. In her autobiography Mo’ne Davis: Remember My Name: My Story from First Pitch to Game Changer, she covers learning to play baseball with the boys in Philadelphia to her rise to stardom on a national stage. Davis breaks longheld stereotypes and proves to young women they need not be relegated to softball. It’s an inspiring memoir for young readers and adults alike.
Baseball is known — heck, even loved — for its complex rules and statistics. Reading the game’s official rulebook would be beyond tedious for even the most hardcore fanatic. So You Think You Know Baseball: A Fan’s Guide to the Official Rules by Peter E. Meltzer uses real-life situations and commentary to explain both the obvious and ambiguous aspects of the game.
The mental game The Art of Fielding: A Novel by Chad Harbach doesn’t require the reader to have a heavy understanding of the game. The book focuses on a fictitious small liberal arts college baseball team. The protagonist — an undersized athlete with an unusual gift for fielding — is approaching a record for errorless games until things go awry. Now struggling with the mental aspect of the game, he faces an existential crisis.

The Expos-é
The road trip
It’s been more than 10 years since the Expos were relocated to Washington D.C. to become the Nationals, but the memories remain for fans in Quebec and beyond. In Up, Up, and Away: The Kid, the Hawk, Rock, Vladi, Pedro, le Grand Orange, Youppi!, the Crazy Business of Baseball, and the Ill-fated but Unforgettable Montreal Expos, Jonah Keri speaks to just about everyone involved with the team — from fans, players and executives. From the early years, to the strike-shortened team of 1994, to the ownership that allowed the team to be moved, Up, Up, and Away is the definitive history of Canada’s first major league baseball team.
Best friends Ben Blatt and Eric Brewster set out on the impossible task of visiting all 30 baseball stadiums in 30 days. Part story of baseball fandom and part road trip logistics, I Don’t Care if We Never Get Back: 30 Games in 30 Days on the Best Worst Baseball Road Trip Ever is a story of friendship, and how it is tested and endures through the many challenges along the way. It’s an entertaining look at what will remain only a dream for many fans of the game.

beauty. In British Columbia you will find great ski-in/skiout options like Kelowna’s Silver Star Resort or Sun Peaks in Kamloops. For a mix of culture and ski consider spending your days on the slopes of Le Massif or Mt. Ste. Anne while you spend your nights in charming Quebec City. Hotel or condo? If you stay in a hotel where you can’t cook your own meals, pick a destination with a variety of dining options. If you don’t mind the cooking
and cleaning, book a condo with kitchenette and inquire about food delivery options. Some of the resorts like Big White near Kelowna have arrangements with local grocery stores to deliver food to your condo. They can have it waiting for you when you arrive, saving you the need of a rental car. Embrace technology Resorts across Canada are using the Flaik GPS system for children’s ski lessons. It not only tracks kids all over
the mountain, but shares stats with parents, including the trails their kids traversed, how much vertical they skied or boarded and their average speed. Want to scratch heli-skiing off your bucket list? Nonstop Ski and Snowboard’s Ready to Heli program is a great option for skiers who may be nervous about their ability to ski in powder or offpiste. The package includes three days of coaching at B.C.’s Fernie Alpine Resort, a day of
cat-skiing and has you graduate to a day of heli-skiing in the Purcell Mountains at the end of the week. What about the non-skier in the family? The fastest-growing winter activity for non- skiers is fatbiking. Monster tires and low gearing mean biking in snow is easy for both first-timers and seasoned cyclists. Many spots across the country including smaller resorts like Ontario’s Horseshoe Resort now offer groomed trails for fatbikers.

Must beat Royals twice in K.C. to reach World Series The Kansas City Royals have established a reputation for dramatic post-season comebacks the past couple of years, beginning with last season’s wild-card victory over Oakland. Turns out, the Toronto Blue Jays have some never-say-quit spirit as well. After going on a second-half run to make the playoffs, then rallying from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Texas in a best-of-five matchup, the Blue Jays will try to beat the Royals in another win-or-else situation in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series on Friday night. Toronto forced the series back to Kansas City with a 7-1 rout on Wednesday, closing to 3-2. “You look at all the elimination games, our offence has really come to life,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Thursday. “We’ve said all along that’s the key to our team, scoring runs. You hate to make a habit of it, but maybe we can pull it off again.” David Price will take the mound for the Blue Jays after his collapse in the series opener, when he tossed six shutout innings and then surrendered five runs in the seventh.

Blue Jays tickets for the World Series went on sale to the general public on Thursday morning and sold out within 45 minutes. Toronto trails the Kansas City Royals 3-2 in the best-of-seven ALCS. the canadian press
David Price is ready to prove his critics wrong. The Blue Jays ace gets the start in Game 6 on Friday with his team’s season on the line. Price has dominated in the regular season throughout his eight-year career, but he’s never won as a starter in the playoffs. “I have to prove that I can pitch at this point in the season in the playoffs,” he said Thursday. “I get that. But I don’t have to go out there and prove that I’m a good pitcher. I think I’ve done that over my career.” tHE canadian PRESS

Yordano Ventura will oppose him for Kansas City. He was only marginally better, allowing three runs and eight hits in 5-1/3 innings before watching the comeback win from the dugout. “I’m very fortunate and happy that this game has landed on my turn, here in Kansas City, and with the opportunity to take this club to the World Series,” Ventura said through catching coach Pedro Grifol, acting as a translator. “I’ll be ready for this game.” The Blue Jays promise they
will be, too. Toronto lost the first two games against the Rangers at home, then won three straight with its season hanging in the balance. The first two were at Texas, and the last at Rogers Centre, but none of the victories was even close — all by at least three runs. The Blue Jays lost the first two games in Kansas City, too. But in Game 3 in Toronto, the hosts overcame a 1-0 deficit and rolled to an 11-8 victory. “We’ve been through a bunch of hurdles all year,” Blue Jays outfielder Chris
Colabello said. “We were 7-1/2 games (back) at the deadlines. ... We had to claw back from that. We were down two games back in the division series and we clawed back from that. I’ll tell you what, we’re going to leave everything we have out there.” They may have to do just that. While the Blue Jays have won four straight elimination games, the Royals are 6-2 in their last eight post-season games at Kauffman Stadium. Make no mistake, either: The ballpark matters in this
series. While the homer-happy Blue Jays were built with the small dimensions of Rogers Centre in mind, the speedy, defensive-minded Royals were built for their home park. Not surprisingly, the Blue Jays failed to homer in the first two games of the ALCS in Kansas City, but hit four long balls in Toronto, including three in Game 3. “Nothing but positivity. We’ve got a 3-2 lead and we’re heading back to Kansas City,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said before arriving home. “That’s where we play our best baseball, so everyone is still feeling pretty good about the series.” tHE associated PRESS
In the 1960s, the idea of the Mets winning a World Series was as farfetched as man walking on the moon. Just 88 days after Neil Armstrong took his giant leap, the Amazin’s were champions. Now Tyler Clippard is convinced an extraterrestrial has led the Mets back to the Fall Classic. “He’s not human. He’s not on this planet right now,” Clippard said about Daniel Murphy. “Another life form jumped into his body.” Heading into a World Series matchup that opens in Kansas City or Toronto on Tuesday, it seems as if it is in the stars whenever the Mets are successful. In 1969, there were hard-to-fathom Daniel Murphy catches by associated press Tommy Agee and Ron Swoboda in the Series against Baltimore. Cleon Jones reached first base on a hit batsman call during a Game 5 rally when manager Gil Hodges showed a ball with shoe polish to an umpire. In 1986, there was Mookie Wilson’s grounder that went through Bill Buckner’s legs at first base to cap a three-run, 10thinning rally in Game 6 against Boston. The Mets were twice down to their final strike. Now there’s Murphy, who has seven home runs in nine playoff games, setting a major league record by going deep in each of his last six. the associated press

As baseball’s post-season keeps getting longer, the Boys of Summer are starting to resemble skiers on a lift line. “This weather is not for me,” Cubs infielder Javier Baez said. “I’m from Puerto Rico, and you know how the weather is in the island — it’s hot all year long.” It was 9 C when the NL Championship Series opener began at New York’s Citi Field last week-
end and 7 C for the start of Game 2. The teams did get a break with a 22 C night at Chicago’s Wrigley Field for Game 4 on Wednesday. “Baseball is a warm weather sport. Guys like to sweat,” Jays manager John Gibbons said. Before the start of the League Championship Series in 1969, the World Series ended by Oct. 16 each year except for 1910, when the NL attempted to expand the regular season from 154 to 168 games before backing off, and
1911, when there were six days off between Games 3 and 4 because of rain. Expanded playoffs and television have extended the schedule, with the Division Series round starting in 1995 and a one-game wild-card matchup added for 2012. Game 7 this year is scheduled for Nov. 4, which would match 2009 for the latest date a World Series game has been played. the associated press

For the Halifax Mooseheads, the difference between a big win and a big loss to one of the top teams in the league is hard work.

Legend Cruyff diagnosed with lung cancer Dutch football great Johan Cruyff is battling lung cancer, his spokeswoman said Thursday. “He has been in hospital this week for tests and lung cancer has been confirmed,” said Carole Thate, a spokeswoman for the former Ajax and Barcelona star. She gave no further comment on Cruyff’s condition, saying he was undergoing further tests. Cruyff, 68, who personified his country’s attacking Total Football in the 1970s, was a smoker during his playing days and until undergoing an emergency heart bypass in 1991. Afterward, he be-
came the face of an anti-smoking campaign. His career began at Ajax and took him to Barcelona where, as player and later coach, his footballing philosophy laid the foundations for the dominant Barca teams of recent years. He was also one of the marquee stars, along with Franz Beckenbauer and Pele, who moved to play in the United States to raise soccer’s profile there. Barcelona financial vicepresident Susana Monje sent the club’s best wishes to its former player and coach. “We would
like from the club to give Johan Cruyff and all of his friends a very big hug after hearing today of the situation that he is living through,” Monje said. World football’s governing body, FIFA, also sent its support, tweeting: “Wishing a speedy recovery to the incomparable Johan Cruyff.” A three-time European footballer of the year, Cruyff was synonymous with the “Clockwork Orange” Netherlands teams of the early 1970s, whose attacking style earned the team fans around the world.

a great talent,” Jennings said of Mathews. “He’s a good dude. It’s exciting watching him play.” The young QBs have both been unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight in their first CFL campaigns. The 23-year-old Jennings moved from No. 3 to No. 1 on the depth chart with B.C. after starter Travis Lulay and backup John Beck got hurt, while the 24-year-old Mathews assumed the top job in Hamilton when Zach Collaros was lost to season-ending knee injury. And while Jennings and Mathews have each shown poise and promise, their teams are in very different predicaments with the regular season winding down. The Lions (5-10) desperately need a win in the West Division playoff chase after blowing leads the last two weeks, while the Tiger-Cats (10-5) are in a battle for top spot in the East.

IN BRIEF Germany insists World Cup bid was an ‘honest’ one Germany’s football federation president again strongly denied any votebuying in the winning bid to host the 2006 World Cup, saying Thursday that “everything was done with honest means.” Wolfgang Niersbach said a payment to FIFA first reported by the weekly Der Spiegel last week was privately arranged to secure a FIFA grant to the German World Cup organizers.

Taylor out for Buffalo Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor will not play in Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. Bills coach Rex Ryan said Taylor has not recovered from his left knee injury and did not practice on Thursday. “He still has some soreness in that knee. That means basically when you touch it and it’s still sore, that it hasn’t healed all the way,” Ryan said. “We’re not going force this young man out there, put him out there, when he’s really not 100 per cent.” With Taylor out, EJ Manuel will again start for the Bills (3-3). The backup quarterback is 6-9 as a starter, including a 34-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Manuel will be making a second consecutive start for the first time since going 2-2 to open last season before being benched by former coach Doug Marrone and replaced by journeyman Kyle Orton. “For me yesterday it was a 50-50 thing,” Manuel said of his prospects of starting against the Jaguars (1-5) at Wembley. “I wasn’t too surprised.”
He still has some soreness in that knee. Bills coach Rex Ryan on Taylor’s injury
Taylor started the first five games of the season but sprained a ligament in his left knee in the 14-13 win over Tennessee on Oct. 11. He practiced on Wednesday and said his knee was getting better. But Ryan said Thursday that the doctors looked at him after practice and determined he wasn’t ready. “We would have played him this week had it been healed, but it hasn’t healed,” said Ryan, who added that Taylor looked a bit off in practice on Wednesday. “I noticed he was more arm. He wasn’t stepping into his throws, especially early in the practice.” The Bills have plenty of other injury worries, too, with Ryan saying defensive tackle Kyle Williams also won’t play. Williams was carted off in the fourth quarter in last week’s loss to Cincinnati with a left knee injury. The Bills defence has been struggling and has so far failed to play up to its high-priced expectations, and the injury to Williams is a big problem for a team already missing starting safety Aaron Williams, who is out until December with a neck injury.

RECIPE Fish Sandwich photo: Maya Visnyei
Ceri Marsh & Laura Keogh
For Metro Canada The combination of crunchy fish, spicy mayo and crusty bread is killer. And a sandwich for dinner is easy yet satisfying. Ready in Prep time: 15 minutes Serves 4 Ingredients • 2 Tilapia filets • 1/4 cup corn meal • Salt and pepper • 1/4 tsp chili powder • A bit of vegetable oil • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped • 4 buns • 4 romaine leaves, chopped • 2 tomatoes, sliced • 1 cup mayonnaise • 1 1/2 Tbsp ketchup • 3 tsp Sriracha Directions
1. Spread corn meal evenly on a plate and toss in salt, pepper, chilli and parsley until it’s all combined. Spread the mixture evenly on your plate. 2. Rinse fish and pat them dry with paper towel. Press the fish into the corn meal and turn over, press the other side into the corn meal. 3. In a large pan, heat some vegetable oil to medium heat. Place your fish down in the pan. It will take about 5 minutes on the first side and only about 3 on the other side. 4. While your fish is cooking, mix up your mayo, ketchup and Sriracha in a small bowl. 5. Check your fish. The corn meal will be crusty and the fish should be opaque. Break your fish into large pieces. 6. Slice open your buns and spread mayo on each side. Place your chopped lettuce down, then fish, then tomato. for more meal ideas, VISIT sweetpotatochronicles.com

It’s all in The Stars by Sally Brompton Aries March 21 - April 20 Today you will be open to asking questions about who you really are and what really motivates you. Don’t be afraid to probe into areas of your mind that you would normally avoid.
by Kelly Ann Buchanan
Every row, column and box contains 1-9 Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 You will go all out for glory. You won’t care if you annoy certain people — in fact you will take it as a sign that you are doing the right thing.
Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 The sun moves into your sign today, marking the start of a new solar year. By the early part of next week a lot of new opportunities will be heading your way. Accept and embrace them.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 There can be no half measures. Both in your personal life and in your work you are determined to get ahead and will do whatever it takes to realize your ambitions. Aim high — then go higher still.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Don’t be surprised if you want to be by yourself more than usual over the weekend. Others may find it hard to accept but you must not allow them to persuade you to go places and do things you would rather avoid.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 The sun in Scorpio will reveal new ways of thinking and new ways of looking at the world, and once you realize what you have been missing you won’t want to go back to the old ways. The future starts here.
