The story of Edmontonfilmmaker-turned-killerMark Twitchell hits televi-sion Friday on NBC’s Date-line.

Twitchell was convictedin April of first-degree mur-der for luring John Altinger,38, under the guise of adate with a woman, to agarage before killing anddismembering him in 2008.

Altinger’s friends have

mixed feelings about thebroadcast.

“At its roots, this is avery unique case and per-haps it will serve as a warn-ing to others to be morecautious,” said longtimefriend John Flame, addinghe respects the desire forprivacy for others close toAltinger.

But Flame, who met Al-tinger in Vancouver, alsofears the show may inspirecopycat crimes.

“My only hope is thatDateline does not, in some

way, encourage otherwannabes to act out. This isreally where shows likeDateline can do more harmthan good,” Flame said.

Though silent during thetrial, Flame now talksopenly about his friend’skiller.

“Obviously, he is either avery sick or very evil per-son, which I guess makeshim sick,” he said. “Theworld is better withoutsome people in it and I be-lieve this to be the casewith Mr. Twitchell.”

Homegrown killer given two-hour spot on American investigative showFriend of murder victim fears ‘wannabe’ potential in broadcast

The story of Mark Twitchell, seen here in an undated photo from MySpace.com, and the murder of Edmontonian John Altinger will be the subject of a Dateline NBC special airing this Friday.

Dr. Gerry Predy, AHS’

senior medical officerof health, said Albertanow has the second-most affordablecigarettes in Canada forthose aged 15 to 24years old.

A pack is $11.32, butwith high wages it onlytakes the averageemployed 15- to 24-year-old 44 minutes oflabour to make thatpurchase.

Health and wellness mas-sage practitioners will un-dergo less scrutiny and payless for business licencesthan body-rub parlours, ifnew rules are approved.

“We didn’t know whichones were authentic andwhich ones weren’t,” chieflicensing officer Randy Kir-illo said Thursday.

The amendments, to gobefore council next weekafter being initiated in thespring, would require thosewanting adult-orientedbusiness licences to providea police check and proofthey are of age, as well as totake a course on sexual ex-ploitation — none of whichlegitimate practitioners

would have to do.“I think this is going to

be a leading-edge thing,”said Kirillo, adding such by-laws in Vancouver andToronto have resulted inonly 26 licences being is-sued. “We want to make iteasy.”

Kirillo said there are alsoconversations ongoingabout zoning that couldmean adult-oriented shopscan’t set up next to day-cares, parks and schools.

“It’s been a long timecoming,” said Percy Roy,who has lived at 112 Av-enue and 94 Street for 82years.

A home across the streetwas closed and vacatedWednesday for 60 days fol-lowing an investigation bythe Safer Communities andNeighbourhoods unit.

The investigation beganin November 2010 aftercomplaints about suspecteddrug trafficking and prosti-tution-related activity.

Since the current ownertook possession, the Ed-monton Police Service hasvisited the home 75 times.

“Lots and lots of comingsand goings,” said Roy.“When you get up in themorning and see the streetlined with police cars, youwonder what’s going on.”

After 70 years of fundrais-ing, the Capital RegionUnited Way is taking ayouthful approach in itsnew fall campaign, whichkicked off to a luncheon of400 supporters at the ExpoCentre on Thursday.

Campaign chair MikePercy shared his experi-ences not only as the Uni-versity of Alberta’s dean ofbusiness, but also as a boy,when he and his motherturned to social-serviceagencies after his fatherdied.

Percy directly creditedhis being able to completea doctorate at Queen’s Uni-versity to the help of or-ganizations like the UnitedWay.

“Of all the donations

you can make, this has thegreatest breadth in termsof the variety of the typesof services it helps fundand outcomes associatedwith that,” Percy said.

The new nationallybranded campaign,Change Starts Here, is aim-ing for $21.5 million in Ed-monton alone, the resultsof which will be revealedin February at the Red TieGala.

“We will achieve it. …There’s already $2,750,000in the bank. So there’s al-ready been a great kickoffto this campaign,” said Per-cy.

Also part of the kickoffwas the sneak peek at ahip-hop video produced lo-cally by PLANit Sound, and

a live performance of thecampaign song ChangeStarts Here.

The six candidates vying tobecome the next premierof Alberta agreed Thursdayto expand the multibillion-dollar oilsands industry —but one candidate won-dered if too much moneyis being siphoned off.

Doug Griffiths said theprovince is moving tooquickly and needs to stepback.

“We’re growing the oil-sands so fast, we don’thave enough warm bodiesor equipment left to up-grade (the raw bitumen),”Griffiths told 1,200 peoplewho attended the finalparty-sponsored debate inthe race to replace PremierEd Stelmach.

“We need to plan aproper phasing-in of the

oilsands development sowe can get the maximumvalue out of upgrading,”he said.

Environmental activistsin the United States areurging President BarackObama to kill the XLpipeline, saying it willharm the environmentand that the oilsands oper-ations contribute to green-house gases.

Candidate Gary Mar, theAlberta envoy in Washing-ton before quitting the jobto run for the leadership,said he’ll back the XL line.

“I support creating newmarkets in places like In-dia and China, and to dothat we need to increaseour production of oil-sands,” said Mar.

Rick Orman, an energyminister in the era of for-mer premier Don Getty,said he will push for moreoil sales with Asia.

“The fact we trade 90per cent with the UnitedStates is a mistake,” saidOrman.

Alison Redford said theprovince must work withFort McMurray on solu-tions, and not just dictate.

“The decisions thatneed to be made for FortMcMurray need to bemade in Fort McMurray,”said Redford. “They can’tbe made by a secretariat inEdmonton.”

Doug Horner said oil-sands expansion beginswith workers.

“We need a made-in-

Alberta immigration poli-cy that allows us to takecontrol of that and bringin the number of workersthat we need,” said Horner.

Ted Morton said thegovernment must balancethe growth needs withoutpolluting the surroundingair, land and water.

“If we want to controlour economic future, wehave to control our envi-ronmental future,” saidMorton. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Who is the mostannoying?

Municipal, federal andprovincial party ballots inthe span of a year have leftsome Albertans feelingelection weary and othersdownright annoyed.

With Saturday’s firstballot in the Tory leader-ship campaign fast ap-proaching, Metro hit thestreets to find out whichtactics are barely resonat-ing with — or in some cas-es, deterring — potentialvoters.

After that, the candi-dates on this weekend’sballot — or a spokespersonspeaking on their behalf —were questioned on cam-paign tactics to determinewho is getting under theskin of everyday Albertans.

Of the six candidates,former health ministerGary Mar seemed to beguilty of the most identi-fied irritations.

Representatives withhis camp would not com-ment Thursday uponlearning of Metro’s analy-sis.

Former energy ministerRick Orman found himselfon the other end of thespectrum, with just oneelection faux pas.

“We are very muchabout getting Rick out tothe people, face to face,”campaign spokespersonLis Sondergaard said. “Wehad him all over, in com-munity centres, meetingwith different groups, andpeople responded reallywell to that.”

Doug Griffiths, MLA forBattle River-Wainwright,deployed two of the top-5annoying tactics, but saidin an interview that hepulled online and televi-sion advertisements one

month into the campaign.Former justice minister

Alison Redford and formerdeputy premier DougHorner tied with three vio-lations each, and Ted Mor-ton’s answers weredeemed incomplete after acampaign representativerefused to divulge whetherhis candidate had used pre-recorded phone messagesor advertisements on TVand the Internet.

Keith Brownsey, a politi-cal scientist at Mount Roy-al University, said someAlbertans may be annoyed,but the tactics used by can-didates have been heavilyresearched and are gener-ally effective.

“There is an upsidehere,” he said.

“You reach more peo-ple. … It’s always more ad-vantageous for a candidateto knock on doors, but thisis a big province and it’s aprovincewide race.”

JEREMY NOLAIS

These election annoy-ances didn’t crack the top5. But they still set ourteeth on edge ...

• Broken promises.

• Too many elections.

• Missing politicians onthe campaign trail.

• Mailed brochures.

• Dumb catchphrases.

• Door-knocking (10 read-ers deemed the practiceannoying, but four appre-ciated the effort).

• Ignoring segregatedgroups.

• Childish tactics by partyvolunteers.

METRO

Methodology

Of the 100 Albertans sur-veyed on the things theyhate most about election campaigns, seven saidthey weren’t annoyed withcandidate tactics at all.

About half of those whoresponded to Metroreporters counted “pre-recorded phone mes-sages” — demon dialling— among their top-3 election annoyances.

Answers were gathered inEdmonton and Calgaryover a period of two weeksending Sept. 11.

Jason Ayer, an 11-year-old cancer survivor, meets Fred Fox, the brother of his hero Terry Fox.

‘The face of our family’For decades, the Fox fami-ly has shared the story ofTerry’s determination andcourage.

After losing a leg tobone cancer, he left hishome near Vancouver forSt. John’s in the spring of1980.

From there, the 21-year-old ran nearly amarathon a day for 143days, but was forced tostop outside Thunder Bay,Ont., when cancer re-curred in his lungs. Hedied the next summer.

Family matriarch BettyFox played the largest rolein preserving her son’smemory, said Fred Fox.This year’s Sept. 18 runmarks the first since shedied in June.

“It hasn’t quite sunk inyet. The day of, the morn-ing of, I’m almost dread-ing it. I anticipate it’s

going to be very difficult,”said Fred Fox. “She wasthe face of our family.”

Terry was the second offour children.

Fred, the eldest, worksfor the Terry Fox Founda-tion.

Judith, the youngest,works for the founda-tion’s international wing.

Darrell, the former director of the founda-tion, now works for theTerry Fox Research Insti-tute, which supports can-cer research projects.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The empowering freedom you get after makingit through a wicked desert storm – that’s what I got when I conquered my fi nancial challenges.

Terry’smemoryshinesabroadIn its third decade, theTerry Fox Run hasraised hundreds ofmillions of dollars forcancer research,according to the TerryFox Foundation.

It has grown swiftlyto host internationalruns — which hadspread to 27 countrieslast year.

Fred Fox, Terry’sbrother, said the newgeneration of studentsand parents and teach-ers who continue tobuild on his brother’slegacy is remarkable.

This year, Rolly Fox,Terry’s father, will fillhis wife’s shoes andsay a few words beforethe run in Port Coquit-lam, B.C.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The Terry Fox spiritlives on in 11-year-oldcancer survivor Jason Ayer was just sevenyears old when he was diagnosed with a cancer-ous brain tumour, but theToronto boy still remem-bers the exact day heheard the news:

Thursday, Nov. 8, 2007.Through 71 weeks of

chemotherapy, he saidthoughts of Terry Fox andhis goal to run acrossCanada with a prostheticleg helped keep his spiritsup.

“Terry has been myhero,” Jason said.

“He didn’t let his can-cer get in his way.

“I was going through alittle bit of the same thing(as Terry). I didn’t have toget my limb amputatedbut I did have to gothrough the pain andchemotherapy.”

Now in remission, the11-year-old is sharing hisstory with students in theToronto area in advance ofthe annual Terry Fox Run,the largest single-day can-cer fundraiser in theworld.

It’s a role Terry’s broth-er Fred Fox is glad youngJason is brave enough toplay. “It’s so important tohave cancer survivors outthere to share their jour-ney and show that re-search does work. They’re

the living proof of theprogress that’s beingmade,” Fox said.

“Not many are thatcomfortable speakingabout their experience,but Jason is so personable.He is willing to speakabout it — and not afraid.”

Jason tells how he cele-brated when he went intoremission on June 6, 2009.

“We had a big streetparty. We got a fireman tocome and a magician anda bouncy castle,” he said.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

If you can dream it... We can make it a reality.

Two Quebec MPs are urgingThomas Mulcair to go forthe NDP leadership, creat-ing the impression of adraft movement for theMontreal MP.

Mulcair has claimed tohave the support of “a verylarge majority” of the par-ty’s 59-member Quebeccaucus, although he has yetto formally declare his can-didacy.

Francois Lapointe andJamie Nicholls emergedfrom an NDP caucus retreatThursday to lend credenceto that claim.

“The person I’ve chosento support is Thomas Mul-cair,” announced Nicholls, aMontreal MP.

“He’s somebody who’sbeen very supportive to theQuebec caucus. He hashelped us in so many ways.”

Nicholls said there’s “a

groundswell of support” forMulcair. “Within the cau-cus, I've talked to a few peo-ple and they’re ready tosupport Tom.”

Similarly, Lapointe urgedMulcair to take the plunge,calling him an “exception-al” parliamentarian.

Until now, most QuebecMPs have said they’re wait-ing to see who enters therace before deciding whomto support. Both Lapointeand Nicholls denied theywere asked to make publicprofessions of support.

A third Quebec MP,Claude Patry, later said hetoo supports Mulcair. And afourth, Robert Aubin, saidhe’s strongly inclined tosupport Mulcair, whom hecredited with getting himelected.

Another prospective can-didate, British Columbia

MP Peter Julian, also wonan endorsement Thursday,from Windsor MP BrianMasse.

So far, party presidentBrian Topp is the only de-clared candidate. He has al-ready racked up animpressive roster of en-dorsements, starting withparty icon Ed Broadbentand Quebec MP FrancoiseBoivin.

Earlier this week, Mul-cair took a shot at the speedwith which Topp launchedhis campaign, suggesting itwas not respectful of thememory of the party’s lateleader, Jack Layton, whodied of cancer last month.

Mulcair indicated hewants to take his time as-sembling a nationwideteam before taking theplunge. THE CANADIAN PRESS

U.K. raisesbarrier toprosecutingwar criminalsBritain has amended a lawThursday to make ittougher for ordinary citi-zens or activist groups toget arrest warrantsagainst suspected warcriminals or torturers — amove that angered somehuman-rights lawyers andactivists.

Britain’s universaljurisdiction law allowsBritish courts to prosecuteforeigners accused ofcrimes against humanity,no matter where thealleged crimes were com-mitted. The principle of

the law is rooted in the be-lief that certain crimes —such as genocide, hostage-taking and torture — areso serious that they mustbe addressed anywhere itis possible to do so.

Under the new amend-ment ratified Thursday,private citizens can stillpursue arrest warrants,but the government’schief prosecutor must ap-prove them. Justice Secre-tary Kenneth Clarke saidthe change will ensurethat “the balance is struckbetween ensuring thosewho are accused of suchheinous crimes do not es-cape justice and that uni-versal jurisdiction casesare only proceeded withon the basis of solidevidence.”

In the past, attemptshave been made to obtainwarrants to arrest visitingforeign dignitaries such asHenry Kissinger, ChineseTrade Minister Bo Xilaiand Tzipi Livni, formerforeign minister and nowleader of the opposition inIsrael. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. consumers paid morefor a range of goods andservices last month, push-ing up inflation.

The Consumer Price In-dex rose 0.4 per cent inAugust after jumping 0.5per cent in July. The coreindex, which excludesvolatile food and energyprices, rose 0.2 per cent.

For the 12 months thatended in August, the coreindex surged 2 per cent,the biggest year-over-yearincrease in nearly threeyears. That’s at the highend of the Federal Re-serve’s informal inflationtarget. It could limit thecentral bank’s ability totake further steps to try to

revive the economy.The Labor Department

said food prices rose 0.5per cent, the biggest in-crease since March. Thatwas due to higher pricesfor cereals and dairy prod-ucts. Energy prices in-creased 1.2 per cent.

Among the factors driv-ing up the core index wererental costs. They rose 0.4per cent.

Clothing costs rose 1.1per cent, extending astring of increases thatstem partly from steep ris-es in cotton prices earlierthis year. Airline fares rose1.1 per cent, the mostsince March.

Sharp price increases

But the prices of manycommodities have retreat-ed since the summer. Andmany economists forecastthat inflation will peak inthe next few months.

The final sedan rolledout of the plant and with itthe end of a 44-year historythat included building Fair-monts, Pintos, Mavericksand other autos. The planthad been building full-sizedsedans such as the LincolnTown Car and Crown Victo-ria, but sales had fallensteadily for years.

The workers haveknown since 2009 that the

plant would close, but theyhad hoped it would stayopen. The union and Fordhave worked out compen-sation packages.

A Ford spokesman said

the company remains com-mitted to Ontario, havingrecently invested in its en-gine plant in Windsor andits assembly plant inOakville. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Local tweets

Yes, it could happen. Butit’s a stretch.

Contagion, aHollywood thriller thatopened last weekend,rocketed to No. 1 at thebox office through itsgripping tale of a fiction-al global epidemic drivenby a new kind of virus.Audiences have gasped inhorror at what happensto Gwyneth Paltrow.

Before it was out, themovie made real-life dis-ease investigatorsanxious, too, though fora different reason: Theyhad worried thefilmmakers would takeso many artistic libertieswith the science that theresult would be anincredible movie thatwas ... not credible.

Well, cue theapplause.

“It’s very plausible,”said Dr. Thomas Frieden,head of the Centers forDisease Control and Pre-vention, which would in-vestigate such anoutbreak.

A new virus jumpingfrom animals tohumans? Nothing fiction-al about that. Globalspread of a disease in afew days? In this age ofjet travel, absolutely. Asocietal meltdown ifthings get bad? Plan onit.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WEIRD NEWS

No need to say‘rhymes withChina’ anymoreCelebrities are gabbing about it open-ly. A growing number of groomingproducts cater to it. And a recent TVcommercial hails it as “the cradle oflife” and “the centre of civilization.”

A generation that grew up withmore graphic language and sexual im-ages in the media is forgoing thedecades-old practice of tiptoeingaround female genitalia.

The new freedom to talk about the

vagina comes as marketers spendmore to get women to buy productsfor the area.

“Vajazzling” — gluing on sparklygems such as Swarovski crystals tojazz up a bikini wax — became a phe-nomenon last year when Jennifer LoveHewitt mentioned it on the formerTBS talk show Lopez Tonight.

Bettybeauty Inc. sells pubic hairdye, ranging in colours from black,brown and blonde to hot pink.

Some women are looking to covergrey hair, while others just want a funcolour, the founder says. “When Icame out with it, there was this kindof burst of, ‘Oh my god, you solved ourproblem. I didn’t realize how muchgrey hair was down there.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

1Kienan Hebert: “OMGI can confirm thatKienan Hebert was re-

turned by suspect @ around 3a.m.” That was the shockingtweet sent out by RCMPspokesman Dan Moskaluk

Sunday saying that three-year-oldSparwood, B.C., boy Kienan Hebert wasbrought home safe. Randall Hopleyallegedly abducted him five days earlierin a case that gripped the nation. Miracle.

2SYTYCD cancelled: Fans wereshocked this week when it was an-nounced CTV ratings-winner So

You Think You Can Dance Canada, which showcased thecountry’s vibrant young dance community, was beingcanned. This on the heels of the finale of Season 4,which Jordan Clark, 19, of Tottenham, Ont., won. Timeto bring back Electric Circus (or EC, as so many fansknew it).

3The Sound of Silence: Paul Simon’s beautiful TheSound of Silence, written in 1964 in theaftermath of the assassination of JFK, took on a

whole new meaning for both an older and newer gener-ation when he sang it on the 10th anniversary of 9-11 atGround Zero. The song was perhaps the poignantmoment of the tribute, and already has over a millionviews on YouTube. For some, it will now be the 9-11 me-morial song.

4Anderson: It’s RidicuList how busy AndersonCooper is: He’s behind the anchor chair and jet-setting around the world covering world events

for CNN’s AC 360, and now he has a new daytime talkshow. Anderson debuted this week, where the pop-cul-ture junkie takes off his tie and sits on a sofa tointerview guests (Snooki!). Sounds promising as long ashe doesn’t start channelling Maury Povich.

6Online dating study: According to an online dat-ing study released this week byWhatsYourPrice.com, women “in general prefer

to date men who are approximately six years older thanthey are, but who are less than 10 years older.” I’m onlya year older than my wife. No wonder she says I’mimmature.

7Madonna and hydrangeas: Last week, Madonnadissed a fan who gave her hydrangeas at a VeniceFilm Festival press conference. “I absolutely

loathe hydrangeas. He obviously doesn’t know that,” shewhispered in a moment caught on tape that went viralon the interwebs. Her response this week? A tongue-in-cheek Madonna’s Love Letter to Hydrangeas onYouTube. Nice apology, Material Girl.

8Steve Nash: Steve Nash opened the TorontoStock Exchange this week for a health companyhe has partnered with, Liquid Nutrition, which

will be opening more franchises here. Apparentlyeveryone there wanted a piece of Nash. Let’s see: Nashis Canadian, an NBA star, fights obesity, has a charita-ble foundation, an Order of Canada, a star on Canada’sWalk of Fame, is articulate and has 615,000 Twitter fol-lowers. Steve Nash for prime minister.

CANADA’S #1 MOVIE“ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF THE YEAR! RIVETING AND BRILLIANTLY EXECUTED.”

Richard Roeper, REELZCHANNEL

Ryan Gosling puts in a stellar performance in Drive.

Metro World News Holly-wood Correspondent NedEhrbar sits in for MarkBreslin this week.

Richard: Ned, Gosling isn’tthe easy charmer of Crazy,Stupid, Love, he plays Driv-er like a coiled spring.There hasn’t been a lead-ing man this close-mouthed since RudolphValentino was the king ofthe silent screen. He’s aman of very few words,but his silence hints at anactive inner life and his ac-tions certainly speak tohaving a past. It’s a braveand strange performance,either emotionally shutdown, or simply cool-as-a-cucumber, take your pick.

Ned: Definitely the strongsilent type. But I guess if

your best friend is ascheming, motor-moutheddeadbeat like Shannon(Bryan Cranston), youlearn to keep your mouthshut. The expressionGosling has on his facemost of the time seemsjust as likely to turn in to asmirk or have him burstinto tears, making him fas-cinatingly impossible toread.

But he certainly knowswhen to put his foot down,so to speak. As electrifyingas Gosling’s toothpick-chewing Driver is, the per-formance that impressedme the most was AlbertBrooks as former movieproducer and current mobboss Bernie Rose. I neverthought the sight of thestar of Lost in Americawould fill me with dread,

but there you go.

RC: Albert Brooks walksaway with the movie in hisblood stained hands.Gosling, Mulligan andBryan Cranston are allgreat, but the characteryou remember is the ex-movie producer-turned-gangster Rose.

He delivers what may bethe best bad guy line of theyear. When Gosling’s char-acter refuses to shake hishand because his handsare dirty from workingRose says, “So are mine.”Great stuff.

NE: The only real criticismI’d make of Brooks is hisperformance makes RonPerlman’s character,Rose’s less well-spokenpartner Nino, stand out for

being so conventional. Butthat’s really about the onlycomplaint I can putagainst the film. Everyshot is artfully composed,and the tension-filled se-quences of Gosling waitingfor his getaway drivinggigs to begin will makeyou reconsider how longyou can hold your breath.And the music — I’ve beenlistening to the soundtrackevery day since it was re-leased last week.

RC: It’s funny that a moviethat values silence somuch — there are l-o-n-gpauses in the dialogue —has such a great sound-track, but there you go,just another surprisingthing about an unconven-tional but intriguingmovie.

Ryan Gosling is an intriguing man of few words in the action-packed Drive Film is a tension-filled, artfully shot escape, with a great soundtrack to boot

A strong, silent type

Synopsis

The circle of lifeMetro’s Chris Alexander takes his son to The Lion King 3D redux

Disney has gone back intotheir vaults and dusted offtheir 1991 classic The LionKing and given it a 3Doverhaul, releasing it toscreens anew. Comparedto the studio’s more re-cent, considerably sunnierfare like Toy Story, Boltand Tangled, The LionKing is a much darker af-fair than you might recall.Something Jack can attestto.

Jack is my 4-and-a-half-year-old son, and I decid-ed to take him along tothe press screening, fur-

ther exemplifying the ‘cir-cle of life’ theme of thefilm itself. I vividly recallwatching The Lion King asa kid, the last gasp of mychildhood before adoles-cence consumed me and“cartoons” ceased to haveappeal. So sitting in thatdarkened theatre, Jack bymy side, was surreal andrather lyrical, both of ushumbled before massiveprojected 3D images of il-lustrated African savan-nah, tumbling fauna,stoic royal felines and redeyed predators. Jack wasrightfully awed…but alsomore than a little bit up-set.

Maybe it was the corestory, a familiar early Dis-ney cocktail (think Bambiand Dumbo) that taps intothe primal fear of losing aparent but couples it withthe shock of murder, de-

ceit, child abuse and the vis-ceral jolts of slavering hye-nas who eat everything insight.

There’s no denying thatThe Lion King is every sin-gle inch a masterpiece.

It’s a real movie, not wa-tered down fodder de-signed to sell hamburgers.

Still, parents of youngchildren should be warnedand reminded...this ain’tMickey Mouse Clubhouse.

“I loved it”, Jack said tome after lights went up.“But it was too sad whenSimba’s daddy died. And itwas also a little bit scary ...and there were too manyskeletons ...”

Hakuna Matata! The Lion King makes a return to big screens, this time in 3D.

Chris Alexander

and son Jack

In their new film, KillerElite, British stars JasonStatham and Clive Owen gohead to head in a tough-guyshowdown many moviefans have been hoping tosee for years. It’s all suppos-edly true and based on theaccounts of ex-army officerRanulph Fiennes (thirdcousin of Ralph andJoseph). So what was it likefor Statham and Owen to fi-nally face off? Read on.

JASON STATHAM: Fancyfilm star Clive Owen hasmet his match.

Going up against CliveOwen: That’s a good day atthe office, right? Yeah, he’sa real intense individual.He takes his work very seri-ously. The whole movie setsitself up where we never,ever come face to face. It’slike this cat-and-mousegame. I don’t want to be do-ing what I’m doing, I don’twant to see this guy, I wantto get in and out, get the sit-uation taken care of it andget out, and he’s just got tobe the man to stop thathappening. So when hegets a hold of me, it’s a bitof an intense situation. Wemade it really, really realand gritty and very rougharound the edges, and itjust paid off.

We both have a lot of dif-

ferent sort of films behindour backs, and he’s got suchgreat respect and such greatcritical acclaim. You know,I’ve done stuff that’s appeal-ing to a different audience,and hopefully we’ll get thetwo to come together.

CLIVE OWEN: I will killJason Statham with kind-ness.

Going up against JasonStatham: It’s actually apleasure doing those bigfight scenes with someonelike Jason because he’s soexperienced. He’s techni-cally really gifted. Youknow, I’m pretty good tech-nically with those fights.I’ve done quite a bit ofthem myself. You can reallycommit, but you know thatthere’s an understandingand an element of safety.

There is a moral ambigu-ity in that [Killer Elite] is notabout good guys and badguys. When they do cometogether, you want to see abit of fireworks.

Straw DogsGenre: ActionDirector: Rod LurieStars: JamesMarsden, KateBosworth, AlexanderSkarsgaard88

There are a lot ofremakes out therethat nevershould’ve hap-pened. However,Straw Dogs won’tfall under that category.Although in its new incar-nation, it will be demotedfrom the classic statusthat the original 1971 ver-sion had, this pulpiertake poses a strong argu-ment for being relevant,at least for two weeks inthe box office. JamesMarsden and KateBosworth play arrogant,Hollywood ex-pats hop-ing to enjoy some peacewhile renovating a house

and barn where the wife(Bosworth) grew up inBlackwater, Miss. Alek-sander Skarsgaard plays apolite but mildly threat-ening ex-boyfriend who iscontracted to rebuildtheir roof. As the L.A. cou-ple’s very un-Southernways grate on the locals,something sinister beginsto encroach on theironce-happy marriage. HEIDI PATALANO

I Don’t Know How She Does ItGenre: ComedyDirector: Douglas McGrathStars: Sarah Jessica Parker,Greg Kinnear, Olivia Munn,Christina Hendricks, PierceBrosnan 81

Screenwriter Aline BroshMcKenna is like the Mc-Donald’s of female friend-ly rom-coms. She churns‘em out good and regularand the meals always tasteabout the same. They godown easy and leave yougreasy. But in this rom-com factory, sometimes

the deep-fryer’s not work-ing just right and you’releft with the tepid mushthat all these films reallyare. This is a film based onthe book by the samename, written by AllisonPearson. By most accountsit was a palatable storyabout a hard-workingmom whose demandingjob sometimes puts her atodds with mommy duties.Translated to 90 minuteshort-hand, it becomes ascreechy, silly caricaturethat leaves little room forsubtlety.

The journey of Moneyballfrom a best-selling book toscreen is nearly as dramat-ic as the story it tells, aboutOakland Athletics’ GM Bil-ly Beane’s use of unortho-dox scouting techniques toput together a winningteam on a shoestring budg-et. Before star Brad Pittcould step in front of thecamera as Beane, he firsthad to deal with the dis-missal of director StevenSoderbergh, whose versionof the film made the studio

nervous enough to haltproduction. Enter directorBennett Miller (Capote) —plus a rewrite by AaronSorkin (the Social Net-work) — and things weresoon underway again.Here, Miller gives Metro astep-by-step guide on howto restart a project. STEP 1: IGNORE THE PAST

There’s this whole backsto-ry which I was oblivious toas it was happening. Youknow, I didn’t really knowanything until all of thatwent down. I was toldmore or less the history ofwhat had happened and

the condition of the movieand the problems that hadoccurred and most impor-tantly Brad’s determina-tion to get it made and hispassion to stick with it.STEP 2: BE IN THE RIGHT

PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME

My perspective was that Iwas struggling to get an-other movie made and fi-nally had to concede thatit was not going to happen.The timing of that coincid-ed with the opening up ofthis opportunity, which itwas several months after ithad shut down. STEP 3: FIND YOUR ANGLE

Show me the moneyMoneyball director Bennett Miller tells Metro his

recipe for turning a lagging project into a finished film

I read everything there wasto read about it and turnedit over in my head and sawwhat would be my way intoit. It’s the dual track of thischaracter, this story of aguy who’s trying to winbaseball games, who’s justextremely competitive anddesperate to do a very diffi-cult thing, which is to win achampionship with a thirdof the money as the richteams. But more interestingto me was what was hap-pening beneath that. Thatthere’s a character who’sbeing driven by some per-sonal, private issues thatmaybe nobody else in thestory understands, mean-ing this is a person whoselife didn’t turn out the wayhe had expected it to. It be-comes a story about a guywho later in life chooses tobe ruthlessly honest and

questioning of everythingin some kind of search forredemption. STEP 4: MEET BRAD PITT

I flew to L.A. and met withBrad, and we sat and had along conversation abouthow to make the movie. STEP 5: DON’T WORRY

ABOUT THE SCRIPT

The book reports on[Beane’s backstory] with akind of detail that no moviecould possibly cover just be-cause it’s a book. So the waythat we ultimately treatedthat stuff was invented verylate and grew from a lot ofimprovisation. Most ofthose scouts were realscouts. The guys in theflashback who scout youngBilly are both real scouts —one of which actually didscout Billy Beane back in1979. That scene was 100per cent improvised.

STEP 6: UNDERSTAND THE

MEANING OF LIFE

The line from the moviethat comes to mind is, “It’san unfair game.” And life’sunfair, and that’s thetruth. It’s just unfair. Andhow do you deal with thatinformation? How do youmanage that?

It just seems to alwaysgo that way, like you real-ly have to bust someheads to get anywheresometimes.

to avoid stereotypes.“Caroline is a girl who

used to walk out of herNew York highrise with acar waiting and someonethere to hand her a Star-bucks,” says Beth. “For meto play her, I had to findthe entitlement withoutbeing a bitch.”

“Caroline’s really sweetand innocent andadorable,” Kat declares. “Ithink that’s a fresh ap-proach.”

“And she’s smart,” Bethadds. “She went to Whar-ton business school. I don’tthink Max would have tak-en to her if she weren’tsmart.”

“Max is more and moreimpressed with Caroline asshe gets to know her,” Katagrees.

“And because Max takesa liking to Caroline, itshows she’s more than atough cookie,” says Beth.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kat Dennings, left, and Beth Behrs in a

scene from the comedy series 2 broke Girls.

RICHARD CARTWRIGHT/CBS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings: Two budding stars ready to rocknew sitcom 2 Broke Girls premieres Monday on Citytv and CBS

As their interview takesplace in late July, BethBehrs and Kat Denningscan count a grand total ofone week spent workingtogether. That was whenthey filmed the pilot for 2Broke Girls — and thatwas in April.

But joining a reporterfor breakfast at Mel’s Drive-in, a Valley landmark, theyshare laughs and a chem-istry that seems years inthe making — just as theydo on their sassy new com-edy as struggling waitress-es at a Brooklyn greasyspoon.

While waiting for pro-duction to resume in earlyAugust, they solidifiedtheir friendship.Kat: “We’ve been checkingin with each other everyfew days.”Beth: “I’ll randomly textKat about something I’mwatching on TV in themiddle of the night: ‘Youneed to see this!’”Kat: “Like, ExtremeMakeover did WHAT?!’”

Orders are taken. Katcalls for wheat toast and,more urgently, a cup of joe.

“Nectar!” she rejoiceswhen the coffee arrives.“And it’s not bad.”

“I like diner coffee,”Beth agrees as her cell-phone sounds off.

“Oh, gee,” she sighs af-ter checking the numberdisplayed.

“This guy has been call-ing me all morning. I don’tsay my name on my mes-

sage, so maybe he thinksI’m someone else. He keepsleaving these intense, longmessages.”

“Let me do it, let me doit!” says Kat, eagerlysnatching the phone and,in the guttural tone of alongshoreman, growlinginto it: “WHAT!!! Who ISthis? WRONG number!NEVER call again!!!”

They both dissolve intolaughter. “That makes meSO happy!” Kat giggles.

On 2 Broke Girls, theircharacters will form a simi-lar bond. But not instantly.First, they have to size eachother up.

Kat plays sarcastic,street-wise Max Black,who, to make ends meet,must work two jobs, one ofwhich is the night shift atthe downtroddenWilliamsburg Diner.

Beth plays chic CarolineChanning, whose ritzy Up-per East Side lifestyle hasabruptly come undone af-ter her money-manager fa-ther got busted forfinancial shenanigans.

Like Max, Caroline isnow broke, too, and isseeking refuge at the dinerwaitressing alongside Max,who warily receives hernot only as a co-worker butas a flat-mate, too.

So not only is 2 BrokeGirls a buddy comedy, it’salso a fish-out-of-water sit-com, with Caroline theBrooklyn-beached fish.

In playing their roles,they both speak of trying

Who’s the sloppiest?Vinny: Mike. His sink in Italylooked like a swamp.

Sammi: Mike is disgusting.Nicole’s messy with herclothes, but Mike is just le-git messy in general. Literal-ly, he clogs all the sinkdrains because he just hadso much face wash and crapeverywhere that he justnever cleaned up after him-self.

Who cooks the best?Vinny: You know, I wouldkind of have to give that tomyself. Even though I’m notalways the one cooking,when I make steaks andburgers or whatever — Iknow that’s not hard things— but they all taste goodand they’re more quality.

Sammi: Vinny just grillsfood. Mike cooks alright. Ithink we all can cook in ourown way.

Who uses the most gel?Vinny: You know theanswer to that.

Pauly?Vinny: Yeah. He uses the most hair gel in America.

Who’s the biggest packrat?Vinny: Mike. He had like 20little bags with him to go toItaly, instead of like threebig bags. He’s crazy.

Is he a diva?Vinny: (Laughs) Yeah, but Ithink he’s always been likethat. That’s what made himwho he is.

Different continent,same old Jersey drama

Sammi and Vinny dish on the remainder of Jersey Shore’s latest season Expect more fights, more smooshing, but less Sammi & Ronnie antics

You can take the crew outof Jersey, but you can’ttake the Jersey out of thecrew. Season four of MTV’sJersey Shore is now in fullswing, with the cast tear-ing up the streets of Flo-rence, Italy. As usual,there’s plenty of drama,and castmate VinnyGuadagnino promises thatit’s only just begun.

“It’sbeenprettyba-nanasso far[and]it’sgonnacontin-ue onlikethat,”hetellsMetro.“But at

the same time, you’regonna see us connect withItaly more.”

His fellow castmateSammi “Sweetheart” Gian-cola, whose love life withbad boy Ronnie Ortiz-Ma-gro has been a focal pointof the series, is just glad tohave less of a hand in thisseason’s commotion.

“All the drama’s gonnabe primarily off me andwith some other peopleyou wouldn’t really expectto see drama,” she says.“Now, everybody can see

me in a different way.”When these two aren’t

stirring up drama, though,they’re keeping plentybusy on their side projects,and both strive to helptheir fans stay fresh todeath. Vinny is thespokesman for PhilipsNorelco DIY Hair ClipperPro, and Sammi has herown perfume, Dangerous.

“I pick my brands like Ipick my women: I likequality,” Vinny laughs,adding he could get be-hind the clippers because

he’sabigpro-po-

nent of a fresh haircut —he hits the barber everyfive days!

“I have really thick Sicil-ian hair and if it grows in,it just turns into a big fro. Ikinda look like a youngMichael Jackson. Peoplethink if you have long hairyou’ve gotta [maintain] it— no, if you have shorthair, all you have is thefade and once that growsin, you need a haircut.”

Sammi, who says herperfume is “light and airy”and has notes of vanillaand almond, was hands-onwith the production of thefragrance, noting that “itwas something that Ithought represented meand that’s why I put myname on it.”

But does her focus onher fragrance mean thatthings have cooled be-tween she and Ronnie?Not in the least bit.

“Me and Ronnie, we’reactually doing great,” shesays. “We’re still togetherand everything’s going re-ally really well.”

The new season of It’s Al-ways Sunny in Philadel-phia premiered in Americathis week, and there wassomething different aboutthe character of Mac.

He’s more like a BigMac. Creator/star RobMcElhenney packed on awhopping 50 pounds forSeason 7 —all in the name

of art.Inspired by the actors in

“a very popular sitcom”getting “new hair and newteeth” as seasons pro-gressed, McElhenney de-cided to take the foundingethos of Sunny one stepfurther.

Or, one giant leap be-yond common sense.

“I always thought thatwhat we were trying to dowith Sunny is a sort of de-construction of the sit-

com,” he says. “So insteadof making the charactersas likeable as possible,we’ve always tried to makethem as unlikeable as pos-sible. I thought maybe thesame could be done withthe aesthetics. … I tried to

look as ugly as possible, ba-sically.”

In real life, McElhenneygot advice from Philadel-phia Phillies baseball starChase Utley, who has ap-peared on the show.

He mentioned that he

works with a sports nutri-tionist whose specialty isbulking up linemen.

The actor soon signedup for a similar weightgain plan that required se-rious discipline.

“You need to eat about

5,000 calories a day to puton that kind of weight,” hesays. “Over the course offive months I ate ... fivemeals [per day] at 1,000calories each.”

Give McDonald’s a pro-ducer’s credit.

Rob McElhenney

lets it all hang out.

Jane Lynch is no longer los-ing sleep over her Emmyhosting duties.

“I’m OK,” the Glee staraffirmed with a smile onWednesday morning afterrolling out the red carpet infront of the Nokia Theaterin downtown Los Angeles.

“I actually slept OK lastnight for the first time inabout a week. I’ve been hav-ing some anxiety issues.”

Lynch has been hard atwork backstage on theshow with longtime palsJill and Faith Soloway fromChicago. The trio previous-ly worked together on An-noyance Theater’s The RealLive Brady Bunch in the1990s. (Lynch played matri-arch Carol Brady.)

The first-time host prom-ised that the Chi-Townladies would bring “kind of

a Chicago feel” to Sunday’s63rd annual Primetime Em-my Awards.

“Jane is certainly goingto be central to our experi-ence,” said Academy of Tel-evision Arts and Scienceschairman John Shaffner.

“I think the host of a pro-gram like this is the bestfriend who sits on the sofaand tells you great stories asthe evening goes on andcomments on the work.She’s here to keep us en-gaged in that way as a bestfriend.”

Lynch was the firstchoice of executive produc-er Mark Burnett to host thisyear’s show.

The Apprentice and Sur-vivor mastermind said hevoted for the 50-year-old ac-tress to lead the show evenbefore clearing it with his

alliance.“My only choice I wanted

was Jane Lynch,” said Bur-nett. “I had not yet gottenpermission to ask her fromthe Academy or Fox. I raninto Jane on a plane. Wewere both coming backfrom the upfronts in NewYork. I just went over to herand said, ‘I have no permis-sion right now, but if I canget permission, would youhost the Emmys for me?’”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This weekend, they playMixFest with MichelleBranch, Grace Potter andthe Nocturnals and somesurprise guests.

We spoke to lead singerJason Wade about his writ-ing process, the new albumand how he’s spending hisoff-stage time in Beantown.

You’re playing with MichelleBranch, who you’ve touredwith before.I was really excited about it.Our drummer’s wife actual-ly grew up with Michelle.

Small world! So how has yoursound changed since yourearlier material?We have gone through a lotof transition. The last al-bum, I did quite a bit more

co-writing. In the early daysI wrote predominately bymyself, so I have been goingthrough a transition overlast two or three yearslearning how to co-writea little bit more,but now we’reback in the stu-dio doing demosand I am startingto write by myselfquite a bit more.

Debbie Harry and Blondie move forwardFew would call Debbie Har-ry a geek, but the gorgeousBlondie singer has no prob-lem with technology.

In fact, she’s always em-braced electronic innova-tion.

“That’s part of our busi-ness, really,” Harry said.

“We rely on technologyto produce our music andperform concerts. A lot ofour instruments are tied tocomputer or synthesizertechnology.

“The change from ana-log to digital, that was a bigchange. But it’s sort ofmore natural in a way; it’sthe way the brain actuallyoperates, instead of the oldmechanical way. I don’t feellike a Luddite in any way.”

Personal evolution is im-portant, too; so the band’sfall tour is not about revisit-ing their splendid hit songslike Heart of Glass orDreaming.

The New York City-based

new wave pop veterans’new album, Panic of Girls,is out this month to addnew sounds.

“I think that’s the bestpart of it,” Harry says ofrecording a new album.

“We are in a very cushyposition, because we arewell known. But goingaround playing the olderhits and everything would-n’t be, oh, I don’t know … itjust wouldn’t be as inspir-ing or interesting as trying

to make new music.“Let’s face it: As our lives

change, our experienceschange and our insights im-prove. It’s more relevant tosing or talk about thingsthat are happening today.

BEIJING, China — Whenyou’re deep in the bowelsof economy class, a 12-hour flight across the Pa-cific is not pleasant.

I was about five hoursout of San Francisco whenthe hallucinations kickedin. As deep vein thrombo-sis clotted my blood andthe Brazilian sleeping pilldid something other thanput me to sleep, I ended upconducting a question-and-answer session with my-self. Here’s what Iremember.

I don’t remember seeing anyCD shelving in the 2012 IKEAcatalogue. No more Bennoshelves or Ivar racks? Whatdoes that mean?Well, at least they still sellthings that look like milkcrates.

Why do people keep givingmoney to Madonna to directfilms?Given the reviews of W.E.,they won’t anymore.

Best go back to fulfillingthe obligations of that $120-million deal with Live Na-tion.

Time to go on the roadagain, dear.

Hasn’t anyone had enough of U2 by now?After a less-than-successfulalbum, a two-year worldtour and a documentary atTIFF, all that’s left for 2011is a reissue of Achtung Baby.

There may be four al-bums’ worth of material inthe works, but they reallyneed to go away to dreamthings up again.

Who’s buying all those Adelealbums? I mean, she’s sold 10million copies of 21.Lots of different people —and not just those who pickup their music from thecounter of Starbucks or atWal-Mart.

This is a rare album thathas become a genuine phe-nomenon based solely onthe quality of the music.

Why haven’t there been moresongs written about 9-11? Imean, that was a definingmoment for so many things. Other than The Rising byBruce Springsteen, Let’sRoll from Neil Young and acouple of country songs, theevents of that day haven’treally been captured in

song. The trauma may havebeen too great.

Chutney brings food to life

This walk downmemory lane isbrought to you by to-day’s release of theBlue-ray versions of allsix Star Wars movies. Ineed them like I needanother corkscrew, butgiving George Lucasmoney is an addiction Ijust can’t seem to kick.

Even though DarthVader is only a childwith poor acting skillsin The Phantom Men-ace, I’ve chosen abrooding wine to sup-plement my pursuit ofthis ultimate version ofwhat I’ve already seena hundred times.

It usually consists ofchopped fruits, vinegar,spices and sugar cookedinto a chunky spread. Non-sweet vegetables such aspeppers, onion and garliccan also be added. Com-mon spices used includeginger, cinnamon, cloves,nutmeg, allspice and car-damom. It can be hot andspicy or sweet and sour.

The ’70sWomanly silhou-ettes define the’70s fashion re-vival this season,like skirts anddresses that hitbelow the knee. Wide-legged dresspants can bepaired with ablouse that ties ina large, floppy

bow at the collar.Go for a relaxedtailored look witha trench coat wornover flared dresspants or jeans. Keycolours are camel,cognac and or-ange.

The ’60sThis look is more preppyand girlish with short andstraight silhouettes. The A-line shift dress is a keypiece, and is best worn witha high-heeled loafer andclassic accessories like amultitude of jangling metalbangles. Importantcolours are beigeand navy withbright pink, mus-tard or orangeaccents.

GlamThink richcolours and tex-tures. Expect dramat-ic black and jeweltones — like crimson,emerald, cobalt — in sump-tuous fabrics like satin, vel-vet and silk fringe. Wear this look now inblack and deep rednail colours. Thetrend will be-come morevisible inclothing asthe holi-day seasonapproaches.Important piecesfor women in-clude the men’s styletuxedo and the kimonojacket.

Flower powerThe floral prints that havesprouted up in seasons pastshow no signs of withering.Warm up the fall chill withvibrant flower print shirts,pants, dresses, or shoes.

LayeringThis trend is perfect forcold Canadian winters. It’sall about volume — pilingon layers and layers ofknits. A tunic worn overloose trousers, or a chunkyknit sweater dress over

wool leggings is greatfor keeping warm

this season, espe-cially when

toppedwith a coat,

boots and ashearlinghat.

Faux furIt’s a big trend this sea-

son. H&M will be selling awide range of faux fur gar-ments and accessories in-cluding jackets, vests, faux

fur trimmedsweaters, coats, and

even bags andboots. Off therunway, thetrend is bestworn in smalldoses — trydonning onepiece at atime or as anaccent.

ColourGo crazy. Layer solidcolours to your heart’s con-tent in every article ofclothing you wear. Evennormally neutral stapleslike coats and pants aren’texempt. Contrastingcolours are welcome. Thered pant is an especiallystrong piece this fall.

’70s silhouettes and ’60s preppy highlight style trends

It’s September, so that —sadly — means it’s timeto pack those sandalsand cargo shorts away toclean up and suit up forfall. But what’s hot forthis cool season when itcomes to menswear?Here are some ideas toget you started.

Though the weather iscooling, you can warmthings up with yourcolours — thinkbeige, camel, to-bacco, navy, kha-ki and grey.“Black, whiteand light bluefor classicsuits andpartylooks alsowork,”notesKarenRichter,theToronto-basedshowroommanagerfor H&MCanada.“And brightorange is theaccent colourof theseason.”

Looking fora new sweater?Think texturewhen

shopping around, saysTara Wickwire, TheGap’s Toronto-based pub-lic relations director —as in marled cardigans,fine gauge merinostriped V-necks and con-trast knit sweaterjackets. “The cardigancontinues to be popularwith men — and such anessential layering pieceover dress shirts and T-shirts,” says Wickwire.

Richter also notes thelook for the season is aslim but casual lookfor men. “The skinnycut has continued

from summer,”addsWickwire.“And tradi-tionalkhakishave been

reinterpret-ed with a

denim wash and askinnier silhouette.”

And as the windchills down, anotherlook to heat up with isa leather outer jacket.“There is a classic,masculine ’50s influ-ence happening formen and a greatleather jacket isat the root ofthis,” notesWickwire.

fall fashion 35metronews.caWEEKEND, SEPTEMBER 16-18, 2011

Elisa Dahan and EranElfassy’s love of coats withcontrasting textures hasgotten them into trouble— some manufacturershave balked at making thecomplicated garments fortheir Montreal-based out-erwear company,Mackage. But the endresults have beenworth it, earningthem a devoted fol-lowing since theirlaunch in 2000.

The Mackagegirl is strongand sexy, butshe alsowants to feelgood, saidDahan andElfassy. Nofreezingfor thesake offashion forher. Here

are some elements thatwent into Mackage’sfall/winter 2011 collec-tions for men and women.

SheepskinTheir bomber-style shear-ling jacket is very fitted,with beige wool inside anddark brown or blackleather outside. “The avia-tor look is still in, but we

did it very feminine,”said Dahan.

Deconstructed coatThe deconstructed

shearling coat isan artsier, lesspredictable ver-sion of itsmore conven-tional cousin.It may takesome confi-dence, but de-spite the

unusual cut “it’s very easyto wear,” said Elfassy. “Youjust throw it on.”

Body-conscious puffy jacketA must-have in a cold cli-mate. “You want to looksexy and you want to feelsexy,” said Dahan, insist-ing that just be-cause you arecovered up does-n’t mean youcan’t have a nicesilhouette. Theduo’s puffyjackets forwomen arevery warm,but alsokeep a fem-inineshape.“It’s aboutwearingyour highheels andstill feel-ing sexy... not

feeling like you look likethe Michelin man,” Dahansaid.

Structured wool coat“We’re known for our dra-matic tailoring,” said Da-han. Mackage uses leatherand fur details to lend sassto traditional shapes. Lookfor pieces that add freshdetails to the classics.

FurIt was all over the run-ways in all colours for

fall, but Mackage hastaken a slightly dif-ferent tack. Theirversion of the furcoat is made oflonghaired curlyMongolian shear-ling. Many ofMackage’s jacketsalso have ele-

ments of fur in the collars,hoods, or cuffs.

Double-faced wool coatThis unlined coat is madewith two layers of wool.“They’re very comfortableand it’s a great transitionalpiece,” said Dahan.

Mackage (mackage.com)can be found across Cana-da at Aritzia, Holt Renfrewand other retailers.

While we’re sad to seeour bare-all stilettos ofsummer go, fall bringsback some freshfootwear options —boots, flats, casual sneak-ers and more. So what’shot for fall footwear?

Traditional shoeshades are still popular,but they’re not the onlyoption. “We’re still see-ing lots of black,metallics and choco-lates,” says DavidKoa, president ofthe Toron-to-basedBaker ShoeCo. “We’re alsoseeing deep colours likeburgundy and red.”

Along with red, blue is

another hot huethis fall, notesMardi Larson,spokesperson forPayless Shoe-Source.

Patent leatherand suede are al-ways popular fallshoe and boot mate-rials. But little accenttoppers are reallycatching attention.“For spring and sum-mer this year we hadthin, delicate lacesand we’ve moved tosomething a bit sexierand edgier for fall and

winter,” says Koa. “So someof our leather boots have

sexy satin laces. And furtrim is still very

popular.” What’s fall

and winterwithout

boots?“For

women, there is plenty ofselection in riding boots,lace-up booties, slouchboots and mid-calf and an-kle boots with peep-toesand fun, airy chop-out de-

tailing,” says Larson.And for winter, lookfor aviator-style bootswith warm linings andsueded tops.

The Win-nipeg BlueBombershave beenbootedfrom Swag-gerville toStaggerville,

a home for battered bonesand bruised egos.

Nobody likes to see ateam fall on hard times,and the 7-3 Bombers stillhold on to first place in theCFL East, but a two-gamespanking courtesy of the

Saskatchewan Roughridershas certainly put theBombers in their place.There will be a lot lesschest-beating coming fromthe Manitoba capital now.

Adding to the misery is amysterious rib injury toBombers starting QB BuckPierce. The Bombers couldfind themselves in realtrouble as they try to holdon to top spot in the East.

Finding Pierce in the sickbay is no surprise, consider-ing his black-and-blue histo-ry in both Winnipeg andB.C. But with the additionalloss of middle linebackerJoe Lobendahn (ACL) anduncertain health of defen-sive back Jonathan Hefney,

the Bombers have prob-lems.

Making matters worse,the reeling Bombers havetwo games in the nextthree weeks against theGrey Cup champ Alouettes.In all, the Bombers will facedivision rivals in five of thenext six weeks, whichcould decide their fate.Jyles shows some promise:Steven Jyles wasn’t a win-ner in his first start withthe Toronto Argos, but heat least shows the potentialto not only be successful,but sell some tickets too.

Jyles replaced deposedQB Cleo Lemon and has in-herited a 2-7 team that isdead last in points pro-

duced. Yet Jyles demon-strates the skill set that al-lows quarterbacks tosucceed in this league. Inaddition to a strong arm, hecan make things happenwith his legs, unlike hispredecessor.

After coming off thenine-game injured list, Jylesis essentially still in train-ing camp, even thoughmost other pivots are inmid-season form. Given achance to perform, Jylescould be the key ingredientin leading the league’sworst offence out of the dol-drums, even though a play-off appearance seemsunlikely.Stamps’ grip on top spot a

bit shaky:The Calgary Stampeders area tough team to figure out.Despite climbing back intofirst place in the West witha Labour Day rematch winover Edmonton, the 7-3Stamps don’t always looklike the league’s premierteam.

Although he threw formore than 300 yardsagainst Edmonton, starterHenry Burris has beenfalling into bad throwinghabits and posted just oneTD toss in the Edmonton re-match. That long-shot HailMary that found the endzone is hardly a sign of anoffence that’s ready to dom-inate opponents.
