Thomas DeMarco threw for two touchdowns in his first pro start and Paul McCallum hit a 42-yard field goal with no time on the clock as the BC Lions moved into second place in the CFL’s West Division with a 24-22 win Sunday over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
B.C. (8-4) won its second straight while Saskatchewan (8-4) lost its third in a row.
Darian Durant threw a touchdown to Weston Dressler with 38 seconds to play as the Roughriders appeared poised to overcome two costly fum-bles and snap a two-game los-ing streak.
But Marco Iannuzzi re-turned the kickoff 28 yards and DeMarco passed for a pair of key first downs to set up Mc-Callum’s winning kick.
Just seconds earlier, Dressler had scored on a cor-ner route that sent the 39,373 in attendance into a frenzy.
With the Roughriders fa-cing third-and-15 on their own side of half inside the final minute, Durant threw a 14-yard pass to Rob Bagg.
But Lions defender Chris Wilson took a roughing-the-passer penalty to negate the turnover and give the Riders a
fresh set of downs at the B.C. 40-yard line.
Durant then threw a 32-yard pass to Taj Smith to set up what appeared to be the winning score. But for the third straight game, the Roughriders ultimately paid the price for their turnovers and undisciplined ways.
Durant fumbled on the
game’s second play from scrimmage, giving B.C. the ball at the Riders’ 46-yard line.
DeMarco, starting in place of the injured Travis Lulay, completed five straight passes and B.C. got on the board first with a 12-yard field goal from McCallum.
The Riders took their first lead of the game when Durant hit Chris Garrett — who start-ed in place of injured running
back Kory Sheets — with a 37-yard pass to the front corner of the end zone with two seconds to play in the half.
Riders slotback Geroy Simon played his former team for the first time after 12 sea-sons in B.C. and tied Ben Ca-hoon’s all-time receptions mark in the fourth quarter. THE CANADIAN PRESS

In a home in Fort Qu’Appelle, Sask., just east of Regina, a lit-tle girl was confined to a win-dowless, dark basement room with just a small blanket.
She was denied the use of a toilet and was rarely bathed or fed.
The toddler, who was born
in British Columbia, was sup-posed to be cared for by her maternal grandfather, who had been given custody after the child was taken from her drug-addicted mother. Instead, children’s advocates say the girl was lost in a child-welfare system that failed her.
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s Representative for Chil-dren and Youth, says there is not enough oversight of chil-dren in care who move be-tween provinces.
“We have inter-provincial regulation of eggs, chickens, cars, tractors and so forth, but we don’t seem to have anything going with respect
to children to the level of con-cern that we should have,” Turpel-Lafond said in an inter-view with The Canadian Press.
For example, Turpel-La-fond said, no province could even give her the number of children received from or sent to other jurisdictions, or say if there was follow-up on the kids once they moved.
An inter-provincial proto-col has existed since 2001, but Quebec never signed it.
“It’s more of a protocol about who has to foot the bill,” said Turpel-Lafond.
“There’s a protocol; no-body understands it, nobody follows it, nobody tracks the
numbers in and out of prov-inces across Canada.”
Cheryl Milne, chairwoman of the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children, said because movement between provinces is not that frequent, it’s not necessarily the top pri-ority on each province’s radar.
Part of the problem is that standards, such as the method of monitoring, are different for each province.
“What we are seeing in these rare, but tragic cases is that that’s where the gaps are discovered and they’re discov-ered when a child is badly mis-treated or dies,” said Milne. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Moose Jaw
Roof caves in on courthouseThe Moose Jaw courthouse has sustained more than $1 million in damage after a section of its roof col-lapsed Saturday morning.
Moose Jaw police responded to an alarm at the courthouse and discov-ered that the roof had collapsed — causing what they called “substantial damage.”
No one was inside the building, which is more than a century old. City police said the cause of the collapse is unclear.
While some initial media reports claimed it was a suspended ceiling that collapsed, Moose Jaw police clarified on Sunday that wasn’t the case.
“The decking part of the roof (the very top section) didn’t fall in, but everything underneath it fell down,” Sgt. Terry Phil-lips told Metro.
Describing the collapse as a “major event,” Phil-lips noted that the roof’s support beams had fallen, as well as some strips of lumber and other pieces of building material.“You can’t look up and see day-light through it,” he said of the current state of the building’s roof.
“(But) it’s more than the suspended ceiling that fell in.”
The building is a prov-incial heritage property that was constructed in 1909.
Structural engineers are scheduled to carry out an assessment of the building on Monday morning.
As of Sunday after-noon, police had con-tinued to cordon off the courthouse building. MARCO VIGLIOTTI/METRO

Voters flocked to the city’s four advance poll stations on Satur-day to cast their ballots in the referendum over a proposal to construct a wastewater treat-ment plant using some private financing.
The city confirmed on Sun-day that 5,892 residents voted at the advance poll sites, which included Normanview Mall and Victoria Square Mall.
Of the four advance loca-tions, initial figures show that Golden Mile Shopping Cen-tre in the city’s south end at-tracted the highest number of voters, with 2,048 casting bal-lots there on Saturday.
Northgate Mall, in the north end of the city, drew the fewest number of voters with 1,031.
Normanview had 1,182 ad-vance voters, while Victoria Square saw 1,631.
In the 2012 municipal elec-tion, only three of the city’s 10 wards saw more than 5,892 voters cast ballots
“This was more than the ad-vance polls in 2012, which ran four locations for three days each,” a city spokeswoman told Metro by email, referring to the advance referendum numbers.
The referendum on the fi-nancing and operations model for the planned $224-million sewage treatment plant — to decide whether the facility is constructed through a public-private partnership or taken on by city hall alone — is sched-uled for Wednesday. Marco Vigliotti/Metro

Alleged hazing injures studentsMounties in a small Saskatchewan town say they are investigating allegations of hazing that injured freshman students.
Sgt. James Richardson at the Lanigan RCMP detach-ment wouldn’t say whether charges have been laid, noting the case is under investigation.
But Richardson said the alleged incident occurred early this month and was reported to police by the victims.
He said the students suf-fered minor injuries.
Richardson would not divulge the nature of the hazing. He said most of the people who are being inves-tigated are under the age of 18. the caNadiaN press
Botswana Hallas gets her Hulk on at the Regina Comic Fair on Sunday at the Hungarian Club. Ross Romaniuk/metRo
sci-fi lovers flock to comic Fair
While tens of thousands of Sas-katchewan Roughriders fans packed Mosaic Stadium a few kilometres away, Botswana Hal-las had her own reason to wear green.
A Hulk mask, in particular, proudly donned on Sunday at the Regina Comic Fair.
The 17-year-old was among hundreds of interesting charac-ters, so to speak, at the comic and science-fiction event held annually at the Hungarian Club.
“Last year, we had almost 300 people. And today, we’re really close to 500. It’s get-ting better and better,” organ-izer Erin Partridge said of the growth of the one-day fair for comic fans and vendors of car-toon, superhero and science-fiction collectibles.
“This year, I didn’t advertise at all. Just from word of mouth, people phoned and said, ‘Can we get a table?’” Partridge, wearing a steam-punk cos-tume, added of the sellers from across Western Canada.
“I love the costumes. That’s the most fun part.”
Hallas, with friend Anna Shi in tow, was purchasing Spawn movie soundtrack CDs and a
Yoda figurine, among other items.
“I was like, ‘Dwarf costume or Hulk costume?’” she said of her getup decision. “And I went with Hulk.”
Georgia Laloudakis, mean-while, did her best Catwoman in full costume.
“I love her,” Laloudakis said of the character.
“I want to be a nerd. I’m try-ing! I’m learning!”
Warren Friedrich, of 1999 Collectibles in Regina, appreci-ated the enthusiasm and fun.
“There’s something for everyone, from comics to col-lectibles to artwork and cer-amics,” Friedrich explained. ross roMaNiuk/Metro

Family of Naguib Damji posted his photo on Facebook Sunday, identifying him as the second of two Canadians killed in Kenya. facebook
Kenyan’s military said late Sunday it had rescued “most” of the remaining hostages held by al-Qaida-linked militants in an upscale Nairobi mall after launching a major operation to end a two-day standoff that had already killed 68 people.
The assault, which began shortly before sundown, came as two helicopters circled the mall, with one skimming very close to the roof.

canada offers support to Kenya
Canada offered its support to Kenya Sunday, saying it was “prepared to do more” to help the east African country recover from a horrific terrorist attack that killed at least 68 people, including two Canadians.
Media reports and Facebook users identified Vancouver busi-nessman Naguib Damji as one of the two Canadians caught in the crossfire as gunmen used
AK-47s and threw grenades at Nairobi’s upscale Westgate mall, a venue frequented by expatriates and wealthy locals.
Officials have confirmed that the other victim was diplo-mat Annemarie Desloges, who worked at the Canadian em-
bassy in Nairobi.The attack that began Sat-
urday dragged into Sunday, with 10 to 15 terrorists holed up inside the building with a number of hostages as Kenyan authorities mounted what it called a final operation to end the siege.
Somalia’s radical rebel group, al-Shabab, claims re-sponsibility for the attack as retribution for the presence of Kenyan troops in Somalia. It said there will be no negotia-tions.

Military mad that it could not quietly court-martial spyThe Canadian military was privately furious the Harper government did not allow it to court-martial a naval intelligence officer who sold top-secret information to
the Russians, as seen in a newly declassified military assessment of the scandal.
The rules for courts mar-tial give the military wide latitude on what evidence is kept secret. Through the court process, the public learned of lapses in security clearance and that top-secret defence computers were not as secure as the military believed. The Canadian Press
Court battle. Public to see Omar Khadr for first time since capture 11 years agoFormer Guantanamo Bay in-mate Omar Khadr is expected to make his first appearance in public since American sol-diers captured him as a badly wounded 15-year-old in Af-ghanistan 11 years ago.
Khadr will be in an Ed-monton courtroom Monday for an application to have his ongoing detention in an adult prison declared illegal.
“I want them to see Omar Khadr,” his lawyer Dennis Edney said in an interview. “I don’t want him hidden away.”
Khadr’s last court appear-ance was when he pleaded guilty to five war crimes in Oc-tober 2010 before a U.S. mil-itary commission in Guant-anamo Bay, where a few select people were allowed to watch the proceedings in person.
For his guilty plea, he was given an eight-year sentence.
The federal government, which opposes the applica-tion, argues Khadr has been appropriately placed in an adult maximum-security facil-ity. The Canadian Press
dozens slain in attack after church service
A pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up amid hundreds of worshippers at a historic church in northwestern Pak-istan on Sunday, killing 78 people in the deadliest-ever attack against the country’s Christian minority.
A wing of the Pakistani Tali-ban claimed responsibility, rais-ing new questions about the government’s push to strike a peace deal with the militants to end a decade-long insurgency that has killed thousands of people.
The Jundullah arm of the Taliban said they would con-tinue to target non-Muslims until the United States stopped drone attacks in Pakistan’s re-mote tribal region. The latest
drone strike came Sunday, when missiles hit a pair of com-pounds in the North Waziristan tribal area, killing six suspected militants.
The attack on the All Saints Church, which wounded 141 people, occurred as worship-pers were leaving after service to get a free meal on the front lawn, said a top government ad-ministrator, Sahibzada Anees.
“There were blasts and there was hell for all of us,” said Nazir John, who was at the church along with at least 400 other worshippers.
The white walls of the church, which first opened in the late 1800s, were pock-marked with holes. Blood stained the floor and the walls.
The number of casualties was so high that the hospital ran short of caskets for the dead and beds for the wounded, said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, a former provincial information minis-ter who was on the scene.The assOCiaTed Press

Canada’s Wireless Policy:
There’s been a lot of noise about Canada’s wireless industry.
Some of Canada’s wireless companies say the Canadian governmenthas special rules that favour foreign wireless companies.
But there are no such rules.
The fact is Canadians pay some of the highest wireless rates in the developed world.
And our largest wireless companies hold 85% of the airwaves.

A suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt among Sun-ni mourners attending a funer-al in Baghdad on Sunday, kill-ing 16 people and wounding 35 others, officials said, in the latest episode of the country’s near-daily violence.
Police officials said the evening attack took place when a suicide bomber deton-ated his explosive belt inside a tent where the funeral was be-ing held in Baghdad’s southern neighbourhood of Dora.
Two other attacks in the country’s north left two policemen dead and 37 others wounded, the officials added.
Sunday’s bloodshed came a day after a wave of attacks killed 104 people, most at a double suicide attack on a Shi-ite funeral in Baghdad.
Violence has spiked in Iraq during the past few months. More than 4,000 people have been killed between April and August, a level of carnage not seen since the country was on the brink of civil war in 2006-08.
Earlier on Sunday, a sui-cide bomber rammed an explosives-laden car into a residential area in the city of Kirkuk, wounding 35 people, Kirkuk police Brig. Gen. Anwar Mohammed Qadir said.
The bomber targeted both a Kurdish educational office and an adjacent house for a Chris-tian lawmaker, Qadir said. Sev-en members of the lawmaker’s family were wounded in the attack.
Kirkuk is home to an ethnic mix of Arabs, Kurds and Turko-men who all have competing claims to the oil-rich area.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

At 40, the perennially youth-ful Pharrell Williams could easily be mistaken for a man half his age as he continues to loom large behind the scenes and on the front lines as a sought-after hitmaker.
Williams is heading into fall riding the wave of a suc-cessful summer that saw him as a featured player on two ubiquitous hits.
His smooth vocals col-oured Robin Thicke’s R&B an-them Blurred Lines and Daft Punk’s disco-esque Get Lucky. Williams will soon be back in collaborative mode with Mil-ey Cyrus, teaming up with the
pop star on her new album Bangerz due out on Oct. 8.
In the meantime, the omnipresent hitmaker is marking a major milestone outside of music: the 10th anniversary of his Billionaire Boys Club clothing line which includes graphic tees, hood-ies, board shorts and denim.
In celebration of the an-niversary, he made a special appearance at Holt Renfrew’s Yorkdale location in Toronto on Saturday where a pop-up shop inspired by Williams was launched by the retailer.
Slated to be open until the end of October, the boutique will feature an assortment of items such as hats, hoodies, tees and jackets from Wil-liams’s various clothing lines, which also include Bee Line, Billionaire Girls Club and BBC Black.
The Canadian retailer will also feature BBC X Holt Renfrew, a special collab-
oration of exclusive sweat-ers and T-shirts for both men and women with prices
starting at $68.“It feels more like an in-
stallation in the sense that
there’s a curated experience,” Williams said of the pop-up. The Canadian Press

But he turned coy when asked about the sym-bolism behind the pieces in-cluded: “It’d be cooler not to describe them. I mean, I still want that element of, like, surprise.”
As Apple pitches its newest smartphones, users may find something lacking compared with last year’s model: They could break more easily.
SquareTrade, a provider of protection plans for gadgets, tested five smartphones, in-cluding Apple’s new iPhones 5S and 5C, to see if they could withstand drops, dunks and other common hazards. Its finding: The latest models aren’t as durable as last year’s iPhone 5.
The biggest loser, however, was Samsung’s Galaxy S4,
which failed to work after being submerged in water and being dropped five feet off the ground, according to SquareTrade.
The phone that withstood SquareTrade’s torture test best was Google Inc.’s Moto X. The Moto X is the first phone de-signed with the Internet com-pany as Motorola’s new owner. Released in August, the Moto X is also the first smartphone as-sembled in the U.S.
“We were expecting that at least one of the new iPhone models would up its game, but surprisingly, it was the Moto X
that proved most forgiving of accidents,” said Ty Shay, chief marketing officer at SquareT-rade. The assoCiaTed Press

It was bound to happen.The Regina real-estate market has
coughed up its first $4-million house. Well, the two-storey split level at 6062 Wascana Court is listed at $3,999,999, which sounds somuch cheaper.
Whatever, this beauty has earned the dis-tinction of breaking the record for Regina’s most expensive real-estate listing.
Welcome to the big time, baby.The local real-estate community is burst-
ing with pride. You think they’d given birth (It’s a Monster House! Cigars all around!). The listing agent told a reporter that Regina is catching up to other major cities in Canada. Not only that, there are so many listings above $2 million these days that it’s more common than not.
It might just be me, but this rush to cash in on the real-es-tate gold rush does not generate a peaceful, easy feeling.
For one thing, it’s the sort of thing they do in Vancouver,
not down-to-Earth Regina. In Vancouver, real estate speculation rivals coffee snobbery as a local obsession. The only problem is that people who live there can’t afford to live there. So they have to move to Abbotsford.
Just to keep that in perspective, Abbotsford is about the same distance to downtown Van-couver as Moose Jaw is to downtown Regina. A nice little two-hour commute on a rainy Mon-day morning.
I think, therefore, we should also be careful what we wish for. To “catch up” to Vancouver, Regina has a far way to go. The most expensive home currently on the market in Metro Van-couver is a giant old pile in old-money Shaugh-nessy for $35 million. It’s generally considered
a tear-down. And as for that $4-million landmark, 78 homes over $4 million sold in the first half of 2013 (five per cent of them over asking!). Altogether, there were a total of 1,239 sales over $1 million in the first six months of the year. Vancouver,
according to U.S. think tank Demographia, is the second least affordable housing market in the world, just below Hong Kong.
I don’t bring these numbers up to burst real-estate agents’ euphoric bubble. Or maybe I do. This is what “catching up” means.
If a house built 11 years ago in what is essentially an up-scale subdivision goes for $4 million, it raises everybody’s boats. And it becomes increasingly difficult for families tread-ing water to buy a house anywhere east of Moose Jaw.
Of course, there’s also the obvious question. Who, in this age of 1.2 children, needs 6,000 square feet, six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a three-car driveway? Oh, and a wine cel-lar. Can’t live without one of those.
This puppy’s carbon footprint is bigger than that of several African villages.

But you better hurry, because at this price, it’s going fast.

RE: Campaign To Halt Peru Cat-Eating Festival, published Sept. 20
All in the name of religion, what does that say? Sad that they hid behind the rituals from a time when food was not available. We find this unpleasant because we have cats for pets. I am sure these people do not care what we think and will continue doing what has been brainwashed in their head under the banner of religion. Tiggerthe cat posted to

This falls under m.y.o.b., why should I impose my morality and ethics on these people for a totally ethno-centric behaviour? It makes about as much sense as them making us eat cats. Peter Justice posted to metronews.ca
Why do you assume it’s more ac-ceptable to eat cows and pigs? Not everyone agrees with your choices, either. Michael Girouard posted to metronews.ca

Who: Ellie Goulding
Where: iTunes Festival
When: Sunday, Sept. 22
•••••
If there’s a downside to having a voice as layered and multi-faceted as Ellie Goulding’s, one that quickly takes different turns and is seemingly on multiple paths at the same, it’s the ever-present danger of it going off the rails.But danger, of course, adds an element of excitement. In Sunday’s performance, the U.K. electro-pop singer didn’t fail to thrill, adding surprise at every bend while maintaining control of her most-unusual instrument. Her emotive delivery on Joy, off her latest album Halcyon, was shiver-in-ducing, full of the sorrow one might expect from a song about the realization of a failed relationship, but then Goulding does an about-turn, giving strength to the line “watch me fall apart” that defies the fragile-bird heard just a moment earlier. On her forlorn cover of Elton John’s Your Song, her eyes shine with tears and her voice has what seems like just a hint of sarcasm dur-ing the chorus.Halfway through her per-formance, Goulding picks herself up off the floor, figuratively speaking. By the time she gets to Anything Can Happen, the sweaty singer is busting out moves that look like they were cribbed from a hop-scotch court, sound-ing like a high-pitched Stevie Nicks with bleating operatic flourishes, and in-fusing the crowd with the confidence of the track. Things did get a bit messy at times, like during Under the Sheets, but overall Goulding proved herself, once again, to be one of the most interesting voices in pop music today. EMINA GAMULIN/METRO

Business not as usual
Julia Louis-Dreyfus claimed her second consecutive best com-edy actress Emmy Award on Sunday for her role as an ambitious political second banana in Veep, with Jim Parsons claiming the top comedy acting trophy for The Big Bang Theory.
“This is so much good fortune it’s almost too much to bear,” said Louis-Dreyfus. “I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to make people laugh. It’s a joyful way to make a living.”
Parsons added to the awards he won in 2011 and 2010 for the role of a science nerd.
“My heart, oh my heart. I want you to know I’m very aware of how exceed-ingly fortunate I am,” he said.
M e r r i t t Wever of Nurse Jackie won the
night’s first award for best sup-porting actress in a comedy ser-ies, kicking off the ceremony on a surprising note and with a re-
markably brief ac-ceptance speech.
“ T h a n k you so much. Thank you so much. Um, I
got to go, b y e , ” We v e r told the a u d i -e n c e a f t e r b e s t -ing a field that i n -
cluded two-time winner Julie Bowen of Modern Family.
“Merritt Wever, best speech ever,” host Neil Patrick Harris said.
Backstage, she offered an explanation: “I’m sorry I didn’t thank anyone. I was going to cry.”
Tony Hale of Veep claimed the trophy for best supporting actor in a comedy, a category that has been the
property in recent years of the men of Modern Family.
“Oh, man. ... This is mind-blowing; mindblowing,” Hale said.
Robin Williams offered the first of five memorial tributes that were added to the trad-itional “in memoriam” group tribute.
“Jonathan Winters was my mentor,” Williams said of the actor-comedian. “I told him that and he said, ‘Please, I pre-fer idol.’”
On the red carpet, there were plenty of slit skirts, ro-mantic lace overlays, graphic black-and-white combinations, strategic skin-baring slashes and tough-girl harnesses.
Claire Danes of Homeland wore a champagne-coloured beaded gown and Robin Wright of House of Cards was in a black silk-cady gown.

Heigl’s great to work with, now let me out of this basement
North of Hell’s Patrick Wil-son defends co-star Kath-erine Heigl against recent criticism that she’s hell to work with and says, “She showed up, worked her tail off, super funny, super gracious, great to the cast, great to the crew, and was a total pro.” He continues, “she gave everyone back rubs, bought us all new cars and raised the dead in her spare time. May I leave this basement now, Katherine? It’s damp and I don’t like it here.”
Ben Affleck’s 18-month-old son is photographed wear-ing a Batman T-shirt. Not to be outdone, Kris Jenner made Kendall and Kylie wear “successful talk show host” crotch-less panties.
Alexander Skarsgard says his team will beat Prince Harry’s team on a charity trek to the South Pole. It’s for charity. It doesn’t matter who wins. Except, of course, if it’s so cold Harry and Alexander have to snuggle to stave off frost bite and someone happens to film it,
in which case we all win.
Leonardo DiCaprio will star in a Woodrow Wilson biopic. And if that doesn’t finally get him an Oscar, he’ll play some other historical figure no one’s interested in and not win an Oscar for that either.
Demi Moore has reportedly started dating the father of a young ex-boyfriend.That’s kinda weird and creepy, isn’t it? Someone her own age?
Justin Theroux says Jen-nifer Aniston made him get rid of his collection of antique, medical wax models of mouths showing various stages of syphilis and gonorrhea. It’s only fair. He made her throw out all her Angelina voodoo dolls.

As if an official publicist confirmation of the split and photos of Liam Hemsworth kissing another woman weren’t enough, photograph-ers caught a sure sign that his relationship with Miley Cyrus is over on Friday as a moving truck was spotted outside Cyrus’ Los Angeles home col-
lecting the rest of Hemsworth’s belongings, according to TMZ. Hemsworth is now back in At-lanta continuing work on the Hunger Games finale Mocking-jay. Cyrus, sources say, initiated the split. “(It was) Miley’s deci-sion, after coming to grips with Liam being what she believed was less than faithful to her.”

Saturday Night Live alum Andy Samberg and singer Jo-anna Newsom tied the knot this weekend in an intimate ceremony before family and friends at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, Calif., accord-ing to Us Weekly. Samberg proposed to Newsom in February, and he admitted to
Ryan Seacrest in an interview last week that planning the wedding wasn’t easy. “So far it’s been nothing but stress and joy,” he said. “The joy is in the lady herself. The stress is in the planning. We tried to go small and it was just impossible. There’s too many relatives, too many friends.”

Avoid toddler plane hell
Forget the horror of Snakes on a Plane. If you’re a parent,
you know that the Terror of Toddlers on a long flight can be even scarier.
It starts with the looks you get from other passengers as you guide your careening youngster down the aisle, and they all cross their fingers, hoping you will not be their seatmate.
Maureen Dennis, founder of weewelcome.ca has been
that mom — with four young kids — and shares expert advice after having covered many miles with many tod-dlers.
“When travelling with toddlers, never plan on them sleeping on the flight. You can hope and pray that they might but there is a very good chance you will be their sole entertainment for the whole
flight, which is a challenge in a confined space,” she says.
What works best? “Pack a tablet with a movie on it, crayons, playdough, small toys, books, stickers and drinks and snacks for a small village,” advises Dennis.
Should you let them stretch their little legs? Den-nis doesn’t think so. “Leave the walking up and down
the aisles for emergencies as toddlers don’t understand the seat belt sign and you may end up with a meltdown on your hands trying to get them back in their seat.”KATHY BUCKWORTH IS THE AUTHOR OF I AM SO THE BOSS OF YOU: AN 8 STEP GUIDE TO GIVING YOUR FAMILY THE BUSINESS, AVAILABLE FROM MC-CLELLAND & STEWART AT BOOKSTORES EVERYWHERE.
Public shaming: the new time out?
Embarrassing your child as punishment can be counterproductive, experts say. GETTY IMAGES
When it comes to curbing per-sistently bad behaviour exhib-ited by children, is shaming the new name of the game in parental discipline?
Scott Mackintosh recently offered a very public — and buzz worthy — lesson in modesty to his teen daughter, whom he felt was continually dressing inappropriately, by turning the spotlight on him-self. The Utah father donned a pair of short-shorts and a “Best Dad Ever” T-shirt for a family night out, resulting in embarrassment for his daugh-ter, pointing and strange looks from observers and the image of Mackintosh in the getup go-ing viral.
Meanwhile, other recent headlines have shown parents putting the misdeeds of their kids — and subsequent punish-ments — on public display.
Earlier this month, a Cali-fornia mom punished her daughter for defying orders not to “twerk” at a school dance by
making the 11-year-old stand at a busy intersection holding a sign informing onlookers of her actions involving the sug-gestive dance move.
Brandie Weikle, editor-in-chief of Canadian Family maga-zine, said in observing the par-ental shaming trend in social media, she has found it inter-esting to see how polarizing the comments are in response to the actions. “There’s plenty of people that think: ‘Way to go. That’s a parent taking a risk or being firm’ and they’re in favour of it. I guess I’m per-sonally a little wary of that ap-proach,” said Weikle, mother of two sons, aged six and 10.
“I would prefer more of a logical consequence, and I’m not certain that embarrass-ment is necessarily what logic-ally follows from the supposed crime. I’m a bit more in favour of connecting what’s gone on to, for instance, a loss of priv-
ilege or natural consequence that has unfolded from what the child has done wrong.”
Psychotherapist and parent-ing educator Andrea Nair said when parents use shaming as a disciplinary tool, they may get their children to obey, but likely won’t get kids to co-oper-ate — and it could harm their relationship in the process.
“Ridiculing and shaming hurts,” said Nair, co-founder of The Core Family Health Centre based in London, Ont.
“If a parent realizes they have hurt their child on pur-pose (they can go) back and then (do) relationship repair and they think of a plan (and say): ‘I was really frustrated. Your behaviour is not appropri-ate, and I’m trying to find ways to make it stop, so can you help me out here? Let’s find a way for this behaviour to change, but without us both needing to be mean to each other.’”
Nair said the more calm and reasonable adults are, the more they’ll teach their kids to follow suit. And if they’re meet-ing resistance, she said parents can adopt what she described as the either-or approach.
“You can say: ‘Are you going to be able to get off this video game, or am I turning off the Wi-Fi and unplugging the com-puter. Which is your pick?’” said Nair. THE CANADIAN PRESS

As a post-secondary school counsellor, Lacy Crawford thought she understood how students and their parents were driven crazy by the ap-plication process — until she had a baby. Crawford says that as soon as she was “late” to sign her four-month-old son up for preschool, she truly felt what it was like to walk in the shoes of the parents she’d been advising. That experience became her novel, Early Decision, which follows a top-tier counsellor and her students through the head-spinning frenzy of applications. We asked Craw-ford about walking the line between fiction and memoir for her debut novel.
How did you find the charac-ters in the book?All of the stories in Early Decision are based on things that happened. There were interactions between parents and students that really troubled me, that I couldn’t get out of my memory and I wanted to try to understand
them. I also wanted to write them in a fun way — it’s a satire. It’s accessible, and it’s meant to let parents and stu-dents see what this process is doing to us.
So what do you feel the process is doing to us?I think (the application process) puts the emphasis on getting in rather than growing up. So, I had the characters begin with their essays (the book features college essays from Crawford’s fictional stu-dents) and I wrote their essays and then I figured out who their parents were and went from there.
It sounds like you’re a little bit skeptical about the application process. Is that true?
I’m not an education expert — my experience is only anecdotal, but I think the process privileges the very privileged, the rich kids who attend private schools all the way through, or public schools in towns that have the really good schools. Those are the kids who know what they’re competing for and how to compete for it. At the other end of the spectrum, there are underserved young people who, when they can perform, the top colleges are desperate for them. If you are an ethnic minority coming out of a top (or a terrible) public high school and you have great scores, ivy leagues will fight each other for you. In the middle are hundreds of thousands of kids, maybe mil-lions — lots and lots of kids who are good, bright kids, coming out of middling high schools (that) haven’t given them the resources they need to know what colleges are out there. And their parents are maybe working full time and maybe not obsessed with Yale, so they don’t have the time and the resources to figure out how to give their kids all the boosts that the rich kids are getting.
What are your feelings about your own kids and college?My fantasy for my boys is actually a fantasy for myself. I hope that by the time they are 17, I am so confident of their character and so sure that they know their own hearts that I will be able to support whatever decisions they make.Metro

Robert Griffin III went head-first instead of sliding, so when the ball popped out it was a fumble.
Aldrick Robinson had a touchdown catch in his hands, but he couldn’t quite maintain possession as he hit the ground in the end zone.
Thanks to the turf, the Detroit Lions have ended 74 years of road failure against the Washington Redskins.
Detroit beat Washington 27-20 Sunday with big days from Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Nate Burleson and those two fourth-quarter Redskins bobbles, the kinds of breaks that had eluded Detroit (2-1) in the U.S. capital since Franklin Delano Roosevelt lived on Pennsylvania Avenue.
“You never know how the cookie’s going to crumble, and it feels good that it crumbled our way this time,” Detroit cornerback Rashen Mathis said.
“I wasn’t a part of the past, but I am part of the future, so it feels good to give the fans
something to feel good about, and we can demolish a record, our streak, that was going on for years and years and years.”
The Lions last beat the Red-skins away from home in 1939, a 21-game streak that comes to a halt as the second-longest in NFL history.
Detroit’s last road victory in the series came in 1935 against the Boston Redskins, two years before the move to Washington (0-3).
History was at play in other ways. The “Calvin Johnson rule” — in which a receiver must maintain possession of the ball all the way to the ground when falling during a catch — worked in favour of the Lions for a change.
This time it was Robinson who wasn’t quite able to keep the ball from coming loose after hauling in a pass from Griffin for an apparent 57-yard touchdown. The score would have given the Redskins the lead with 9:05 to play, but it was overturned by replay.
Then there was Griffin, who scrambled for a 21-yard run deep into the opponent’s terri-tory with the score tied in the fourth quarter.
But the ball jarred loose as Griffin stumbled forward to give himself up at the 30-yard line. The play would have been ruled dead if he had slid. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Taurus April 21 - May 21 Sudden changes will be the norm over the next few days. The planets indicate that nothing can harm you so long as you stay calm and refuse to be rushed.
Gemini May 22 - June 21 Why sit around waiting for people you hardly know to make decisions which affect your life? Your life is what you choose to make of it.
Cancer June 22 - July 23 Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start looking for ways to improve your life. you have to work harder for less reward for a while but think of it as an investment. The tide WILL turn
Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 You may be of the opinion that a partnership that has been causing you grief is no longer worth the effort but don’t give up on it. The planets indicate it is about to surprise you, in a nice way.
Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You may feel that you are destined for bigger and better things and you may be right but it won’t happen as if by magic. Determine your number one priority today – then go for it to the exclusion of everything else.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Don’t let what other people are doing distract you from what you should be doing. Yes, it may seem that they are having more fun but in the long-term what’s more important to you, having fun or making money?
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You may be eager to show what you can do but try waiting until later in the week before pushing yourself to the front of the stage.
Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 The best way to change the world is to change your own attitude. It’s not really the world “out there” that is the problem but the world you create inside your own head.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 You may be upset that something did not work out the way you wanted it to but over the next few days you will realize it was for the best. New opportunities will arise.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 In some way or other you are still trying to hold back the tide, even though you know it cannot be done. The time has come to accept that you must move with the times, because the times won’t move with you. SALLY BROMPTON
