Eleven months ago, a top officialin Rob Ford’s inner fold revealedthe mayor’s master plan, whichincluded a smaller workforce andan end to pet social programs andenvironmental projects. Fordwants to contract out everythinghe can, the official added, and theFord administration was going totame the police budget.

Fast-forward to today, and thatwish list isn’t looking so realistic.

The official line is that city man-ager Joe Pennachetti will need tofind $774 million to balance thebooks, but for months it’s beenknown that number is far lower.

Most councillors feel theintense backlash over the KPMGreport findings will keep librariesoff the chopping block, but muse-ums, some grants programs andTTC funding — which would bemitigated by a 10- to 25-cent fare

hike — are safe bets to be cut.Firefighters will probably be

left alone, given the mayor’s officeabout-face on its pledge to rein inpolice spending. Daycares are awild card. As is arts funding.

Ford has also signalled he canstomach a two per cent to threeper cent property-tax hike, as wellas some user-fee hikes. But themajor savings are going to be inthe work force. Pennachetti hasconfirmed that this budget willinclude savings through attritionand layoffs. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

It was the final meeting ofthe top anti-G20 anarchistsin Toronto last year.

They were putting thefinishing touches to a vari-ety of anti-summit strate-gies, and were especiallyconcerned about how to ac-commodate “smashysmashy” vandalism withoutendangering peacefuldemonstrators.

“We believe in diversityof tactics,” said participantJulia Kerr.

“Anything goes,” saidAdam Lewis, one of theleading speakers. “Like dowhat you need to do tobring the heat down on thesecurity state...”

On Friday, a provincialcourt judge allowed mediaaccess to a CD and tran-script of the Spokes Councilof the Southern Ontario An-archist Resistance meetingtaped by an undercover OPPofficer last June.

Justice Gerald Lapkin re-leased the exhibits becausetrials are ended for 17 mem-bers of the group.

Lewis, 23, was one of sixwho pleaded guilty lastTuesday to counselling in-dictable offences. Chargeswere dropped against 11others, including Kerr, 28.

Meeting participants hadtrouble coming to a consen-sus about how black blocactivists were to blend inwith the peaceful afternoonmarch. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Too many girls are hikingup their kilts to unaccept-able lengths, according toDurham Catholic DistrictSchool Board trustee ChrisLeahy.

Leahy is proposing theboard consider allowingschools to ban the skirts,which are part of theschool uniform.

In a phone interviewfrom his home in Ajax,Leahy said there are con-cerns “from the communi-ty” about the length of thekilts.

“It doesn’t always re-flect positively on theschool. The administrationis spending a little toomuch time trying to en-force the rules when thereare other pressing priori-ties,” Leahy said.

Some students say theylike having the option ofwearing the kilt.

Smith, both Grade 9 stu-dents at Archbishop DenisO’Connor Catholic HighSchool, don’t want to wearpants all the time and findthe shorts that go with theuniform too boyish.

Smith hopes the boardconsiders introducingmore female-friendlyshorts for hotter weather.

In a letter tocustomers, Stintzsuggested a fee increaseis on the way if theprovince doesn’t covermore of the $1.5 billion itcosts to run the TTC.

The TTC received $91million from theprovince for operationsin the 2010-11 fiscal year.That amounts to six percent of costs, whichStintz said is“inadequate.”

The Progressive Conserva-tives have won a legal skir-mish in their war against aninfluential union coalitionthey charge is a Liberalfront that cost them lastmonth’s provincial election.

An Ontario court hasgranted the Tories leave toappeal a May 18 ruling thatrejected their claim thegroup Working Familieswas formally linked to Pre-mier Dalton McGuinty’sgoverning Liberals.

Working Families spent$2 million on a blitz of TVand web advertisements at-tacking ConservativeLeader Tim Hudak beforeand during the Oct. 6 elec-tion. That’s about a quarterof the Liberals’ campaignbudget.

The organization —which includes the OntarioSecondary School Teachers’Federation, the ElementaryTeachers’ Federation of On-tario and the Ontario Nurs-es’ Association — is back in

the headlines because theTories believe unions arebehind the Grits’ refusal toimpose a public-service

wage freeze. “Let’s just get to the bot-

tom line here. The reasonwhy you’re not bringing in

a mandatory wage freezeon the union side is becauseof your friends in the Work-ing Families coalition,” ToryLeader Tim Hudak told theLiberals in the House lastThursday.

Finance Minister DwightDuncan, who has refused toenact a wage freeze thatcould affect more than 1million workers over con-cerns it would be unconsti-tutional, deflected theTories’ criticism as sourgrapes. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

English-speaking RomanCatholics found themselveson unfamiliar ground atmass yesterday, needingcrib notes to follow alongwith a ritual many haveknown since childhood.

The mass itself — thecentral ritual of theCatholic faith — hasn’tchanged, but the Englishtranslation has, after ayears-long process of revi-sion and negotiation.

Along with otherchanges, “We believe” hasbeen replaced with “I be-lieve” in the Nicene Creed,“cup” becomes “chalice”and the term “consubstan-tial” replaces language call-ing Jesus “one in being withthe Father.”

The roots of the newtranslation go back to theSecond Vatican Council in

the 1960s, which allowedmass in languages otherthan Latin. In 2001, the Vat-ican issued a directive re-quiring translation of theEnglish missal that wouldbe closer to the Latin ratherthan to more familiar ver-nacular speech. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

‘Brides’ against violence A national average of 28 per cent of Turkish womenare married before the age of 18, but regional differences mean that as many as 50 per cent of girlsare married off as minors in some parts of the country. Childhood marriages are “widely accepted”by Turkish society, a recent study found.

Forward. March

Women activists, some dressed in wedding gowns representing child brides forced into marriage, hold signsthat read “end violence” in Ankara, Turkey, yesterday.

Maribeth Lynch, 51, of Milwaukee, Wis., said shewas “distraught” over thechanges and would refuseto “learn the damnprayers.”“It’s ridiculous. I’ve been aCatholic for 50 years, andwhy would they make suchstupid changes? They’reword changes. They’re se-mantics,” she said.

“I had a really bad day at work and my bus was late taking me home, so I was in the worst mood ever. When I finally got on the bus, my roommate texted me and said that my dog had destroyed a box of pop-tarts and made a mess of the garbage. So, I was expecting to come home to a sugar-high dog and a huge mess. But when I got there, my friend Caitlin had come over to hang out and she cleaned up the mess AND took my dog for a walk. I cried. Then the next day, I bought her flowers.”– Clara

On the first Sunday of Ad-vent the small Ottawa con-gregation of St. GilesPresbyterian Church wor-shipped in the basement,locked out of the sanctuaryby the presbytery.

“It doesn’t matter wherewe worship, as long weworship as a community,”said Rev. Wayne Menard.

A group of church mem-bers signed a petition ob-jecting to Menard’sleadership and asking forhis removal. As a result, thepresbytery locked the doorsof the sanctuary until thecongregation “repents,”Menard confirmed.

According to Menard,the problem is more nu-anced and complex than re-ported in local media. Hehe said that, out of concernfor the congregation, hedoesn’t want to speakabout what led to the base-ment service. “This is a frag-ile group,” he said.

People from other

churches came to the serv-ice yesterday to show sup-port for the congregation.Roughly 40 people was agood turnout, Menard said.

Most of the churchgoerssaid they were concernedthe rift would impact thefuture of the church. “Ithink there’s a real risk thatpeople will go to otherchurches,” said ClaudiaChowaniec.

Murdo Murchison alsosaid he was worried thatthe problems would harmattendance at the church,but added that having toworship in the basementdidn’t bother him. “Whattroubles me is the closingof the church and the indef-inite reasons,” he said. “Thewhole thing is a mess and Idon’t understand why.”

LANCASTER NEWSPAPERS-RICHARD HERTZLER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Missed Black Friday spe-cials? Not to worry.

There’s Cyber Monday. Several companies now

offer deep discounts to on-line customers on theMonday after Black Friday.

A new survey suggestsmuch of the online shop-pers will be doing so whilethey are at work today.

Cyber Monday has beenwith us since 2005 when amarketer noticed con-sumers spend more whena day has a special name.

Last year, Americans

spent more than $1 billionUS on Cyber Monday —the most they spent onlineany day of the year.

Canadians are a little be-hind the curve, but we’recatching up. A recent IpsosReid poll done for e-com-merce giant PayPal saidthat 52 per cent of Canadi-ans are aware of CyberMonday, up drasticallyfrom 24 per cent last year.

Cyber Monday is notjust limited to deals fromCanadian retailers. Someretailers south of the bor-

der are offering incentivessuch as free shipping toCanada. Bloomingdale’s,J.C. Penney and Macy’s of-fer Canadian shipping andinclude taxes and dutycosts right at checkout.

BANDLINKBRIDGES AMUSICAL GAP

Ask any musician: Putting aband together can often be aslabour intensive as learninghow to play an instrument.

Word of mouth is usuallythe way to go, but that can

take ages. Posting an ad on a publicbulletin board is a reasonable Plan B, butwho knows what kind of characters youmight attract.

So it’s a surprise that no one in thewhole wide World Wide Web thought tocome up with a website where bands are

formed. Good thing Toronto-based Rob Platek has set outto change that tune.

The entrepreneur, web developer and musician co-founded Bandlink, a newly launched website that’s bestdescribed as LinkedIn for the music world. Its mandate isto bring musicians together, online.

Solo musicians and bands create a profile, outliningwhat instruments and styles they play. Once posted, they

can then search throughother musicians in their re-gion. Bands can also post on-line auditions, which sendmessages out to other userswho fit the specific require-ments.

“Basically, we’re makingit the easiest and best way tolink people together,” saysPlatek, 35. (His business

partner, Marc Carignan, is based in Montreal. The twowork over email and instant messaging.)

As the site develops, Platek plans to expand it out to different parts of the music scene, so that newly formedbands can access other industry types, like record produc-ers and publicists. The former IBM employee also intendsto develop pages that promote band events, rehearsal andrecording studios and gear rentals. The end goal is tomake Bandlink the go-to website for emerging musicians.

Bandlink currently has 1,000 members, some as faraway as Lebanon and Korea. It was launched entirely outof the pockets of Platek and Carignan and they’re current-ly brainstorming ways to monetize it.

The pair predicts Bandlink will provide a much-neededonline community that musicians have long been lacking.

“There’s nothing really out there for musicians,” saysPlatek. “There’s Craigslist and these boards in musicstores and laundromats, so we have a vision of this beingthe place to go.”

India hooked to Tamil song that’sbecome an Internet sensation

Metal’s distorted rootsDocumentary connects Elvis to Metallica ... to Nickelback? Premiered Friday on MuchMore

The target audience for the11-part documentary seriesMetal Evolution is a prettyspecific head-banging de-mographic that’s already fa-miliar with the history ofthe heavy genre fromAC/DC to Metallica and Za-kk Wylde.

And yet the Canadian-made show has landedscreen time on MuchMore,which has the likes of KatyPerry, Bruno Mars, Beyonceand Britney Spears toppingits current chart of videos.

Show co-creators SamDunn and Scot McFadyensay it was a lot easier to sellthis series (which first be-gan airing in the U.S. onVH1 Classic) than it was toget buyers’ attention withtheir first big project, thedocumentary Metal: AHeadbanger’s Journey.

Dunn and McFadyen saythey’ve proven there’s a siz-able audience for seriousprogramming about heavymetal and how it’s affectedand been affected by othermusic genres.

“When we told peoplewe wanted to make a seri-ous film about heavy metal(seven years ago) we got

laughed out of a lot ofboardrooms, people didn’treally think it was some-thing that could be doneand actually could engagean audience,” Dunn says.

“VH1 Classic has been re-ally supportive of our workin the U.S. and I think theyrecognized that providedyou can kind of tie in a lotof the classic bands, likeKiss and Aerosmith and VanHalen, and touch on someof the more recent bands,they recognize there’s anaudience out there.”

The idea for the show,co-produced by MuchMoreand VH1 Classic, was basedon the reaction to a familytree of heavy metal that thefilmmaking duo presented

in their first documentary,charting how the music ofElvis Presley, the Beatlesand Jimi Hendrix connect-ed to the various metal sub-genres of today.

“There were a lot of peo-ple we were really excitedto interview, some unlikelycharacters for a series aboutheavy metal,” Dunn says,giving Dick Dale, the ’60s-era King of the Surf Guitar,as a prime example.

Another somewhat un-likely connection to heavymetal — which the film-makers are expecting maycause a bit of a kerfufflewith fans of the genre — isthe much-maligned best-selling rockers Nickelback.

The band is profiled dur-

ing an episode about the af-termath of the grungemovement in the ’90s andhow the likes of Nirvana,Alice in Chains, Pearl Jamand Soundgarden influ-enced hard rock.

“Grunge is a good exam-ple of those musical styleswhere half the people youask will say it’s totally met-al and the other half willsay it’s got nothing to dowith metal,” says Dunn.

“That’s really the ques-tion we ask in that episode,is grunge part of the storyof metal?” If it is, it’s hardto dispute Nickelback isn’tpart of the conversation,given that the band begandominating the radiowavesin the years after grunge’s

demise. “This show is about the

evolution of sound and whodid those grunge bands in-fluence? Really, the nextgeneration are bands likeNickelback, Creed and Sil-verchair, all these bandsthat came up in the late’90s that had hallmarks ofthe grunge sound but werecreating something a littlemore mainstream, a littlemore radio-friendly,” saysDunn.

It was impossible to ig-nore Nickelback’s impacton hard rock music, Mc-Fadyen says, even if metalfans think the band is theantithesis of what they’reinto. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Your holiday soundtrackWith less than a month until Christmas you should be listening to some festives tunes — or at least buying

them for other people Here’s a breakdown of artists who manage to rock the yuletide classics

Justin Bieber, Under the Mistletoe

Parents are likely to buyJustin Bieber’s Christmasalbum for their kids andpray that their young oneswill only play it throughtheir headphones. ButBieber’s Under the Mistle-toe is a thoroughly enter-taining offering for allages — sometimes evenmore so for the adults.He’s still a teenheartthrob, but there’s lit-tle childlike about this al-bum (except for the songSomeday at Christmas,which closes out thedeluxe CD, where a muchyounger Bieber channelsMichael Jackson). Bieber’svoice has deepened, andthe bubble gum soundhas given way to a moremature, soulful sound.And on the soulful upbeatgroove Fa La La, withguests Boyz II Men, hesounds almost — sexy.

She & Him, A Very She & Him Christmas

Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward, the she and him offolk rock duo She & Him,have patterned a sparseyet satisfying Christmasalbum that, on listen afterrepeated listen, brings tomind a subtly hip holidayvibe that’s edgy enoughto impress the most jadedBrooklynite and innocentenough to play for grand-ma, too. Across the 12tracks presented on the al-bum Deschanel and Wardglide through some of theholiday classics with low-key yet inspired gait.

The interplay betweenWard and Deschanel onSilver Bells and I’ll BeHome For Christmas isquick and bouncy, lendinga decidedly prominentsense of mirth and merri-ment — always criticalcomponents of a goodChristmas album.

David Ian, Vintage Christmas

Jazz pianist David Iantreats the classics with adeft hand on VintageChristmas, seamlesslymelding the sometraditional compositionswith the perfect hint oflounge-meets-jazz phras-ing.

There’s a way to botchthis approach, to make ittoo kitschy. Ian knows bet-ter and meanders fromthe traditional approachjust enough to keep it in-teresting, but without toomany extra instrumentsmucking up the arrange-ment.

His minimalist pianowork delivers a clean ap-proach here.

The best momentscome when Ian is pairedwith vocals by Acacia, onehalf of the sister-duogroup Tal & Acacia.

Joey + Rory, AFarmhouse Christmas

If you want to freshen upyour holiday music collec-tion, you could do muchworse than this countryduo. Joey is the womanand Rory is the guy alwayswearing overalls, even onthe album cover. Yes,they’re a couple like thatcute plus sign in theirname implies. Rory is aworking songwriter whennot recording with hiswife and it shows in someof the lyrics. Sample fromthe album opener It’sChristmas Time: “We’ll eattoo much and swear again/ that come New Yearwe’re getting in / the bestshape that we’ve everbeen / but we know we'relyin’. / So pass the pie andone more roll / and passme that remote control /oh, lookee here, I love thisshow! / It’s Christmastime.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALL PHTOS CONTRIBUTED

Tony Bennett, TheClassic Christmas

AlbumWhen you’ve beenaround as long as TonyBennett, you don’trelease an album ofChristmas favourites,you put out a collectionof the best Christmassongs recorded through-out your career.

This greatest hits al-bum compiles holidaytunes from the 85-year-old crooner’s repertoireover 40 years.

Over the years, he’srecorded Christmas mu-sic with the London Sym-phony Orchestra and theCount Basie Band.

While these songshave all been heard be-fore, there’s an eclecticmagic to listening tothem in succession.

Michael Bublé, Christmas

Christmas comes earlywith Michael Bublé’sholiday record.

It’s his second season-al release, and it seemsas if he’s got a knack formaking cosy Christmasmusic.

His smooth voice per-fectly covers classics likeSilent Night, Have a Hol-ly Jolly Christmas andJingle Bells.

There’s even an origi-nal song called Cold De-cember Night.

Bublé also coversMariah Carey’s All IWant for Christmas IsYou, but adds his owntwist by slowing it down.

It sounds like a com-pletely different songthat is noteworthy in itsown right.

Christmas is aninstant classic thatwould go nicely in any-one’s collection.

George Michael has post-poned all his remaining2011 tour dates as he re-covers from pneumonia,the singer’s publicist saidFriday.

Michael was hospital-ized in Vienna, Austria,earlier this week. A state-ment from publicist Con-nie Filippello said the48-year-old former Wham!singer “is responding totreatment and slowly im-

proving.” Michael “is illwith pneumonia and anyother speculation regard-ing his illness is unfoundedand untrue,” the statementsaid.

Two Austrian doctorstreating Michael said hehad “severe community ac-quired pneumonia,” but“his condition has stabi-lized and he is respondingto treatment.” They said heneeded time to regain his

strength. “From the cur-rent point of view, the timeuntil recovery cannot beestimated, but he will notbe able to perform the restof the tour,” Dr. ChristophZielinski and Dr. ThomasStaudinger said in a state-ment. “Besides medicaltreatment, complete rest,and peace and quiet aremandatory.”

The singer has post-poned dates in Liverpool,

Deer Tick calls their newalbum Divine Providence,which at first seems like asweet homage to thegroup’s beginnings inRhode Island’s capital city.

But as with most thingsrelated to this band, thetruth is uglier, ruder andmuch more rock ‘n’ roll.

“It actually came from ablack metal song that wewrote,” says singer JohnMcCauley.

“It had extremely anti-Christian lyrics, so wethought it’d be funny if wenamed that song DivineProvidence.”

They eventuallyscrapped the song, as itdidn’t fit the mood of their

new album — which ismostly a rollicking goodtime, catering to classicrock fist-pumps as muchas country rock swaying.

Filled with titles like Let’sAll Go to the Bar, and lyricslike,

“Johnny’s got a bottle ofwine, no one is gonna

make it to work on time,”they recall 1980s rock out-casts The Replacements.

“Oh yeah, we’re big Re-placements fans,” says Mc-

Cauley.And like The Mats,

there is a degree of longingand loneliness beneath thesurface of the party pro-

ceedings too. But Deer Tick is no

throwback act. They arewriting very much forthese times.

The song Main Street,which they recently per-formed on Letterman,seems perfect for the ageof 24-7 social networking,as McCauley asserts in adesperate rasp: “Miss oneday and the whole worldcasts you out.”

Divine Providence alsohas a sonic density that be-trays its festive atmos-phere. So in the studio, areDeer Tick focused or amess?

“I’d say it’s a little bit ofboth,” says McCauley. “Ormaybe one person wouldbe really drunk and no-body else would. It all de-pended on what time ofday you got to the studio.”

Slow toys

This season UK toywholesaler Asobilaunched a ‘SlowToy’ list of fun, inter-active, battery-freetoys in response tothe UK Toy Retailers’Association’s top 12toys of 2011, whichincluded the daftDoggie Doo: a plas-tic dog that poos.

New rules will make built-inchild car seats conform to

changed size limits. Scan code for story.

This time of year, parentsspend billions on toys andtoy companies spend mil-lions advertising their lat-est toys and gadgets tokids. With toy manufactur-ers selling so-called “edu-cational” toys — this yeartop sellers include juniortablets — what’s reallybest for kids?

“The marketplace hasbeen doing a marvellousjob of telling parents thatunless you buy the righttoys for your children —that is to say, the toys theymanufacture — they willbe stunted intellectually. Itleads parents to buy toysthat really aren’t ideal,”says Dr. Roberta Golinkoff,psychology professor atthe University of Delawareand author of A Mandatefor Playful Learning in Pre-school and Einstein NeverUsed Flash Cards.

“People in my job havedone a lousy job of educat-ing the public about whatmatters in child develop-ment. A lot of parents arebuying, for example, ex-pensive electronic toysthat have really question-able benefits.”

Research shows thatkids learn from play, nottoys. Parents should be

wary of toys marketed aseducational — in factshockingly few toys of anytype are developed in con-sultation with child psy-chologists.

“Everything is educa-tional, but what are kidsactually learning?” says Dr.Susan Linn, psychiatrist atHarvard Medical Schooland director of the Cam-paign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.

“Children learn themost from hands-on cre-ative play and from inter-acting with adults whocare about them, so par-ents should approach toysthat claim to be education-al with healthy cynicism,”says the academic who ledCCFC’s victorious cam-paign against Baby Ein-stein’s unsubstantiatedclaims that babies learnfrom its DVDs.

“They should ask them-selves: Is this toy encourag-ing my child to becreative? Does it requiremy child to actively dothings? Can it be used inmore than one way? Toysthat talk, sing or dance atthe push of a button arepretty useless for kids.”

“The kind of toys kidsneed are 90 per cent kidand 10 per cent toy, notwhere the toy determineswhat you do,” saysGolinkoff. “That’s why

children are more fascinat-ed by the box the toycomes in than the toy, be-cause the box has a million

possibilities and the toyhas one.”

Children learn mostfrom toys that offer multi-ple possibilities and allowkids to express their cre-ativity including art andcraft projects, puzzles andgames, dress-up outfits,role-play toys and buildingblocks.

This holiday, place alarge appliance box in themiddle of your livingroom, suggests Golinkoff.

“Parents will be

shocked by how muchtheir children age seven orunder will love that boxbecause it frees up theirimagination — it can be aboat, spaceship or house,and they can colour it, cutbits out, paste things on it.Kids love this.

“Parents feel like if theydon’t buy expensive toyswith batteries that they’refailing their children butit’s the exact opposite. Youwant the kid to be incharge and not the toy.”

Are toys good for kids?The toy industry uses aggressive

marketing to sell ‘educational’ toysto parents and children Will yourkids learn anything from thesegadgets? Or will a simple box do?

Kids learn most from — and love — toys that let them play properly.

Canada is getting greener.But the rate at which

Canadian consumers aremaking green decisionsfor their homes appears tobe in decline.

The 2011 Home DepotCanadian Green Home In-dex gives Canadians a rat-ing of 54.7 out of 100 on arange of actions. The sur-vey covers everythingfrom buying efficient lightbulbs and reusing shop-ping bags, to renovationsand retrofits of the entirehousehold. That number isdown slightly — for thesecond year in a row.

“Through our research,

we understand that Cana-dians don’t really knowwhere to start,” says

Paul Berto, Home De-pot’s director of corporatecommunications.

“And since no one hasdefined what it reallymeans to be green, wethought we’d go with ourown index. It’s designedto measure Canadians’ at-titudes and actions on howthey can help improve theenvironment and theirhomes at the same time.”

Berto says the currentclimate of economic un-certainty is putting a dragon eco-friendly home up-grades.

“About a quarter ofCanadians cited economic

factors as a reason whythey did not green theirhomes more,” Berto ex-

plains. “And about 22 percent felt they’d alreadydone all that they could to

make their homes green-er.”

And there’s certainlyhesitation over big-ticketimprovements.

“A lot of people are will-ing to turn their thermo-stats down, but won’tspend the $2,500 to $4,000to put in a high-efficiencyfurnace — just yet.”

Interestingly, the surveysuggests Canadians aremore likely to get greenerwhen they see their neigh-bours taking action.

“If your friends andfamily are involved incomposting, buildingbackyard gardens or usingrain barrels, you yourselfare more likely to pick upthose habits and go alongthose ways.”

If you haven’t alreadygotten started, here’s aquick list of simple, afford-able ways to save energy —and money — in your ownhome:

“Get a programmablethermostat for yourhouse.” Berto recom-mends. “Make sure you’reusing low-flow toilets inyour bathroom ... look at areally efficient shower-head.”

The Bard gets animatedKill Shakespeare comic capturing attention of educators and artists But how much should one play with a play?

A homegrown comic se-ries pitting some ofShakespeare's legendaryheroes against his mostsinister villains is makingthe leap off the page andonto the stage.

Anthony Del Col andConor McCreery arelaunching the second vol-ume of Kill Shakespeare,called A Blast of War afterbringing their literarymash-up to the YoungCentre for the PerformingArts in Toronto.

The acclaimed comicseries sees the likes ofHamlet, Juliet, Othelloand Falstaff on a quest tofind a reclusive wizardnamed William Shake-speare as they battle vil-lainous forces led byRichard III and Lady Mac-beth.

Co-writers Del Col andMcCreery came up withthe concept around eightor nine years ago whilebrainstorming ideas forvideo games.

The duo wrote a 20-page treatment for a fea-ture film, envisioning aLord of the Rings-style,epic action-adventure sto-ry.

But with McCreerybusy working at the timein business journalismand Del Col in the musicindustry, the duo put theidea on the backburneruntil about five years ago,as they tried to conceptu-alize a way to bring theirvision to life.

Del Col said McCreeryintroduced him to comicseries like Y: The Last

Man, Fables, and TheLeague of ExtraordinaryGentlemen and they de-cided to give Kill Shake-speare a similartreatment.

“The graphic novel for-mat and the comic bookformat's cool because it's

kinetic, it's visual, andyou can show as much asyou tell,” said McCreery,35.

The Kill Shakespeareproduction took placethis past weekend duringthe Word Festival. The in-augural fest celebratedthe 400th anniversary ofthe King James Bible aswell as the Bard's worksthrough readings, lec-

tures, song and stage per-formances.

The stage version ofKill Shakespeare includeda live reading, as well asartwork by Andy Be-langer, who does the illus-trations for the comicseries.

Del Col, 34, said a testrun last April which in-volved a live reading ofthe first issue elicited a

strong response fromboth the audience and ac-tors. Theatre companiesfrom Philadelphia to Hali-fax have already ex-pressed interest.

“Shakespeare started inthe theatre so it would begreat to do more versionsof Kill Shakespeare onstage — fully acted-outversions.”

While some puristsmay be appalled at the no-tion of placing the Bard'scharacters in comic formand not using his signa-ture language style,Young Centre general di-rector Albert Schultz seesthe comic series creatorsas “clever.”

“They've taken a cul-tural icon — Shakespeare— that has a huge reso-nance and they've givenhim a very contemporarysituation — that of thegraphic novel,” saidSchultz, who is alsofounding artistic directorof Soulpepper TheatreCompany.

“They're really entre-preneurial and interest-ing guys that have takensomething as pervasive asShakespeare and made ittheir own — and that'shard to do after 400years.”

The series is also hav-ing an impact in the class-room. It's being used bystudents in high schoolsand universities in Cana-da, the U.S. and Germany.

“Some teachers saw itas a great way to sort ofintroduce their studentsto the character types and

Shakespearean tropesthat the Bard uses,” saidMcCreery. “We've alsohad universities pick it upbecause it's kind of a wayto contextualize the Bardin a new way — quiteapart from all the peoplewho just read it becauseit's a fun comic.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

“Some teacherssaw it as a greatway to sort ofintroduce theirstudents to thecharacter types andShakespeareantropes that theBard uses.”CONOR MCCREERY CO-CREATOR OF KILL SHAKESPEARE

Not to be?

Kill Shakespeare isn't

without its detractors:

McCreery said Shakespere-an scholar Kimberly Coxhas been critical of the se-ries, including the decisionby creators to not useiambic pentameter — thedistinctive, rhythmic pat-tern employed by the Bardin crafting verses.

“Her thought was: ‘Howcan you use Shakespeareand not use Shakespeare'slanguage?’ And for us, thatwas never the pointbecause all that does is putthe same hurdle into get-ting into Shakespeare,” hesaid.

“Kill Shakespeare is in basi-cally, everyday English. It'sa little more poetic, a littlemore flowery, and we cer-tainly use Shakespeareanquotations. But the wholepoint was you could slipinto this without battling,literally, a foreignlanguage.”

Among the notable fans of the series are Britishplaywright Tom Stoppard and Oscar-nominated di-rector Julie Taymor, who helmed a film adaptationof The Tempest.

A Kill Shakespeare feature film, mobile games andmerchandise are all in development, along withplans to further expand the comic series.

Greed hasnever servedanyone well,and in thecase of busi-nesses itbreeds over-confidence,entitlement

and a sense of invincibili-ty.

Case in point: Star-bucks. In his book On-ward, Starbuck’s CEOHoward Schultz lays outthe factors that led thecompany astray in theyears 2000 to 2007.

Howard describes thedamage as being “slowand quiet” and says, “Ob-sessed with growth, wetook our eye off opera-tions and became distract-ed from the core of the

business”. These errors inoperation additionallycame at the most imper-fect of times as the com-pany headed straight intoa recession.

Having stepped downas CEO in 2000 to assumethe role of Chairman,Schultz returned as CEOin January 2008. Onwardis the story of what hap-pened next.

Many people will recallthe news in February2008, when Starbucksmade an unprecedentedmove to close all of theirstores for one full day oftraining. An action thatwas unprecedented forany company.

Each of the 7,100 U.S.stores had a note on thedoor reading “We’re tak-ing time to perfect ourespresso. Great espressorequires practice. That’swhy we’re dedicating our-selves to honing ourcraft.”

Espresso after all is

what Schultz fell in lovewith when he started inthe business.

“Pouring espresso is anart,” he states. “One thatrequires the barista tocare about the quality ofthe beverage.”

Schultz passion for hisbusiness is clear, some-times to a fault as many

senior Starbucks partnerscan attest to when listen-ing to Schultz speak fromthe heart.

This was especially up-setting as Schultz’s criti-cism of his companyhaving “lost its way” wentagainst the figures.

Stock price, earnings,shareholder confidenceand store openings wereall positive. But Schultzwas right, the companyhad lost its way, or morepertinently, its soul.

For many of us, myselfincluded, Starbucks is apart of our daily lives.

Onward is Schultz’scommitment to staying inour lives and continuingto be that special ‘thirdplace’ away from homeand work.

They opened the seasonwith a whimper, but TravisLulay and the B.C. Lionsended it with a bang lastnight.

Grey Cup MVP Travis Lu-lay threw two second-halftouchdown passes to leadB.C. to an exciting 34-23Grey Cup win over the Win-nipeg Blue Bombers. Thevictory, before an ear-split-ting BC Place sellout of54,313 in Vancouvercapped a stunning turn-around for the Lions, whoopened the season 0-5.

B.C. became the firstteam in CFL history to winthe Grey Cup after losing itsfirst five regular-seasongames. The Lions also be-came the first squad since1994 to capture the leaguetitle at home.

B.C. was the last club toaccomplish that feat, join-ing the ’72 Hamilton Tiger-Cats and ’77 Montreal

Alouettes.Lions tailback Andrew

Harris, a Winnipeg native,was named top Canadian.

Lulay’s 66-yard TD striketo Kierrie Johnson with sev-en seconds left in the thirdquarter put B.C. ahead 24-9.But the game’s turningpoint came with 12:21 leftto play.

Lulay tried to throw a

screen pass inside the B.C.30-yard line, but Winnipegend Odell Willis got hishands on the ball and had aclear path to the end zone.Willis couldn’t hang on,and the Lions dodged ahuge bullet.

B.C. then marcheddownfield and capped an82-yard drive at 8:10 of thefourth, as Lulay found Ar-

land Bruce III on a six-yardTD strike to give B.C. a com-manding 31-9 advantage.

Buck Pierce made it in-teresting with two TD pass-es for Winnipeg. He hitGreg Carr on a 45-yardtouchdown strike at 11:22,then found Terrence Ed-wards on a 13-yard scoringpass with 1:37 remaining tomake it 31-22. It was set up

by Jovon Johnson’s 47-yardpunt return that was fur-ther aided by a B.C. face-mask penalty called onkicker Paul McCallum.

But Winnipeg’s onsidekickoff attempt didn’t gothe mandatory 10 yards,giving B.C. the ball with1:36 remaining, sealing thechampionship for the Li-ons. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Winners and losers ofNBA’s tentative deal

Season to begin Christmas Day after sides make handshake agreementNBA owners and playersreached a tentative agree-ment early Saturday morn-ing to end the 149-daylockout and plan to beginthe delayed season onChristmas Day.

Here are some high-lights:

The deal: Largely com-pleted around 3 a.m. ET Sat-urday, then announced.More details still must betackled including dismiss-ing all pending lawsuits,making the National Bas-ketball Players Associationan actual union again andvoting by both the playersand owners to ratify theagreement.

Key dates: Dec. 9 (freeagency opens, camps open),Dec. 25 (games begin).

Owners’ biggest win: Re-ducing the players’ guaran-tee of basketball-relatedincome to no higher than51 per cent after they re-ceived 57 per cent underthe previous collective bar-gaining agreement. Witheach BRI point worth about$40 million US based onlast season’s revenues,that’s a swing of at least$240 million annually, eras-ing most of what ownerssaid were $300 million inlosses last season.

Owners’ biggest loss: TheNFL style hard cap and non-guaranteed contracts theysought. The system is infact similar to the old one,just with harsher luxury taxpenalties to limit spending.

Players’ biggest win: Thepreservation of the mid-lev-el exception — though in areduced form — and vari-ous trade rules for teamsover the luxury tax, keep-ing the biggest marketteams in the running to bidfor them, even if they can’t

pay as much as they usedto.

Players’ biggest loss:Money. They’re transferringmore than $1 billion insalary and benefits to own-ers in the first six years ofthe deal.

What’s next: Look fortalks early this week on apre-season schedule, thedismissal or settlement ofpending lawsuits, thenmovement toward gettingthe entire CBA written.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Buffalo’s Stevie Johnsonsaid he was “just havingfun” when he mocked be-ing shot in the thigh aftera touchdown catch yester-day. He recognized after a28-24 loss to Plaxico Bur-ress and the Jets that hiscelebration hurt the Bills.

Actually, though, theBills wide receiver was pe-nalized 15 yards for anoth-er celebration followinghis five-yard scoring catchthat put Buffalo ahead 14-7in the second quarter.Johnson drew the flagwhile imitating the Jets’“flight” celebration.

“I was just having funand part of having fun end-ed up being a penalty anda touchdown for the Jets,”Johnson said. “It was a stu-pid decision by myself.”

The penalty forced Buf-falo to kick off from its 20-yard line. Dave Rayner, asubstitute for injured kick-er Rian Lindell, mis-hit theintended squib kick and itbounced off the Jets’ Em-manuel Cook, who recov-ered at the Buffalo 36. NewYork scored on a 14-yardpass from Mark Sanchez toBurress with 1:03 remain-ing in the half to make it14-14.

Burress, of course,served 20 months inprison for accidentlyshooting himself in the legin a nightclub in 2008while a member of the Gi-ants.

Asked if his demonstra-tion was meant as a per-sonal knock at Burress,Johnson said “not at all.”

“I can’t be doing that,”he added. “I cost my teamseven points. I feel I costour team a win.”

Burress, who made aspectacular catch on theJets’ late drive for the win-ning touchdown, said hewasn’t aware of what John-son did.

“I’ve seen worse, andI’ve heard worse,” Burresssaid. “So, it doesn’t botherme at all. The result I’mlooking at is we won thefootball game.

“He’s a young playerand I like him a lot. I thinkhe’s a great young talentand is going to be a greatplayer in this league.”

Although Bills coachChan Gailey said he didn’tsee what action drew thepenalty, he criticized histeam for a lack of maturity.

“One of the things todaywas a lack of disciplineand we have got to get thatstraightened out,” Gaileysaid. “We need that kind ofemotion without thoseglaring errors.”

Gailey told Johnson im-mediately after the penal-ty, “You can’t do that stuff,it hurts the team.”

Johnson also had a keydrop near the Jets’ goalline as Buffalo drove down-field in the final moments.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
