Pipeline to be reworked around ancient bones

A major pipeline project in Sas-katchewan is to be modified after ancient bones were found at the dig site.

TransGas, the pipeline sub-sidiary of SaskEnergy, says the redesign will minimize any impact to newly discovered cultural lands near Bethune, northwest of Regina.

“Typically, pipelines are done using a shallow trench and that’s about six feet of a hole that is made. The pipeline is lowered in, the ground cover is put back in and on we go,” SaskEnergy spokesman Dave Burdeniuk said Thursday.

“We’re not going to do that now for the location where the remains were discovered. We’re going to back up further away and then we’re going to go deep.”

The company will use trenchless technology to bore down between depths of nine metres and 45 metres for al-most a kilometre underneath

the site, Burdeniuk said.TransGas was installing a

transmission pipeline to supply natural gas service to a new pot-ash mine site when bone frag-ments were unearthed Oct. 15. Archeologists have determined the remains are human and es-timate the bones are more than 1,000 years old.

There was no indication be-fore work began that there was anything culturally significant along the pipeline route, said Burdeniuk.

“We knew there were a couple of sites close and those were flagged and the crews were told to avoid those.

“But we had no idea that there were these human re-mains, so this is a way that we can get the project accom-plished, but do it in such a manner that we’re not going to disturb the surface or anything that might be remaining still near the surface.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Representatives from Carry the Kettle First Nation and elders from the Nakota Nation were at the site Wednesday for a sacred blessing ritual and to further examine it.

• TransGas said it will work with Chief Barry Kennedy and elders to determine the most appropriate and sensitive way to deal with soil already disturbed.

Mark and Craig McMorris have gone from the flat-lands around Regina to some of the tallest moun-tains around.

And in November, the brothers will reach a new high as their show McMor-ris and McMorris premieres on MTV Canada.

“I am very excited. We met with Red Bull Media House … over a year ago and pitched the idea,” said Craig, the older McMorris.

“Now that we’ve filmed all eight episodes, it’s pretty crazy and I can’t wait for it to go live.”

The premise follows Mark and Craig as they head off to different coun-

tries and continents, hang-ing out with friends while going through the rigours of competitive snowboard-ing.

“Usually when you’re travelling for snowboard-ing, people only see the one run, they don’t see all the behind-the-scenes stuff,” said Craig.

The locations include Aspen, Colorado for the Ex Games and Cancun, Mexico for spring break.

“We try to keep a really nice balance of staying com-petitive, staying sharp and staying in shape, but also having a little bit of fun,” he said.

Both brothers have made big names for themselves, as Craig has boarded on the Canadian national team and Mark has won high-profile contests.

Craig said the series is a great opportunity to dem-onstrate their skills and represent their hometown.

“We get to show the world this is our home, this is what can come out of Sas-katchewan and it’s one of the most beautiful places on the Earth,” he said.

McMorris and McMorris premieres Friday, Nov. 1 at 9 p.m. EST.

Wanted in Yorkton

Woman, teen boy arrested over armed robberyA 34-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy wanted in an armed robbery in south-eastern Saskatchewan have been arrested.

Police in Saskatoon say the pair was discovered

when officers were called to an apartment building on Wednesday to check on another woman.

She was safe.Officers realized that a

second woman and a teen, who were also in the apart-ment, were suspects in the robbery of a business in Yorkton.

They will be transported to Yorkton to face charges. The Canadian Press

Woman uploads rape accusation to YouTube

In a video uploaded to YouTube

on Tuesday, 29-year-old Saska-toon woman Rebecca Campbell levels accusations of sexual assault and rape against her coworkers at a local restaurant.

Campbell claims the ordeal began 10 years ago after an ac-quaintance violated her.

“We had been at a party together, and at the time I was actually homeless,” Campbell told Metro. “He had offered to let me crash on his couch for a

couple days, so I left the party with him, and he attacked me and raped me.”

Though she said she origin-ally went to the police, she feels she was dismissed.

This fall the pain resurfaced, Campbell said, when the perpe-trator popped up as a delivery driver at her job.

“I had cut him out of my life,” she said. “It was after I had requested that (he) not be sent

while I was working that the harassment ramped up.”

Another driver who was friends with the alleged rap-

ist began to torment her, said Campbell.

“He came up behind me and reached around my body, grabbed the box that I was holding with one hand and my breast with the other,” she said.

Campbell said she went to the police on Oct. 6, and her complaint fell on deaf ears. So she took to the Internet to make her voice heard.

Alyson Edwards, spokes-

woman for the Saskatoon Po-lice Service, said that upon see-ing the video, a staff sergeant from the sex-crimes division contacted Campbell.

“We wanted to reach out to her right away,” said Edwards.

In addition to the criminal investigation, police are under-taking an internal review to find out exactly what happened when Campbell came to the station earlier this month.

Murder case. Fingerprint points no finger: LawyerThe lawyer for an American accused of killing a Saskatoon woman and injuring her boy-friend says tests on a finger-print found at the crime scene were inconclusive.

Morris Bodnar was granted an adjournment in his client George Allgood’s trial last month to re-test the print.

Bodnar said in Court of Queen’s Bench in Saskatoon that the sample wasn’t good enough to conclude whether it may be that of another per-son.

It was previously deter-

mined that the fingerprint did not belong to Allgood.

The defence is calling no further evidence, and the Crown will present rebuttal evidence on Monday.

Allgood, a 48-year-old from Baltimore, is charged with the first-degree murder of Susan Reinhardt — the mother of his son — and the attempted murder of her boy-friend, David Ristow.

The couple was shot in the bedroom of their home in City Park on July 15, 2006. The Canadian Press/CKOM

Long-term care. ndP criticize 2011 removal of minimum-care hoursThe Opposition is accusing the Saskatchewan govern-ment of changing long-term care rules that address “suf-ficient staff” numbers.

In the first question per-iod of the new session at the legislature, NDP Leader Cam Broten said the government removed a regulation that said nursing home residents should get “at least two hours” of staff time per day.

“Let’s be clear, other provinces have minimum care standards of 3.6 or 3.8 hours per resident, per day,” Broten said Thursday.

The regulations were

changed in 2011.Health Minister Dustin

Duncan says the regulations were decades old and spoke to a time when long-term care residents didn’t need as much medical help.

Duncan says he thinks residents get more care when it’s tailored to them — not just the minimum hours.

The NDP also raised con-cerns that health regions are listing some tasks, such as baths and linen changes, as discretionary if they are forced to work short-staffed.The Canadian Press

As Stephen Chalmers stepped into his bright, spacious, new 1999 fifth-wheel in Langley, B.C., on Thursday, he went si-lent and just took it all in.

Then, he burst into tears.“I live in a palace,” he said,

his voice quivering with relief after having survived nearly six weeks in a run-down Surrey trailer park without power.

Chalmers, who suffers from multiple mental illnesses in-cluding depression, was pushed to his limit when the landlord, K.B. Properties, failed to hire a health-and-safety co-ordinator for the demolition of the neigh-bouring Beladean Motel.

The demolition crew hit live hydro wires, and ever since then the Beladean Trailer Park has been running on unreliable generators — and even those the landlord failed to provide until the city got involved.

Chalmers wanted to leave, but his leaky 1989 trailer was too old and broken down to be accepted at most other trailer parks.

Realizing how desperate the situation was, his sister, Mari-lyn Chase, started a crowdfund-ing campaign on Fundrazr.com with Metro’s assistance.

Within five days the cam-paign hit its goal of $5,000. Metro then partnered with the

Travelhome trailer dealership in Langley, plus a very generous anonymous donor who heard Chalmers’ story on Classic Rock 101 and offered another $5,000, to buy him a refurbished, family-sized 26-foot trailer.

On Thursday Travelhome staff also surprised Chalmers, who lives on disability, with plenty of home furnishings, such as pots and pans, towels, bedding and gift certificates for groceries.

“I’m overwhelmed, over-joyed, ecstatically happy,” Chal-mers said, before adding he wanted to send a message to the donors across the country

and as far away as Norway who made it all possible.

Chalmers has found a new, quiet trailer park to live in,

and is thrilled that he will be reunited with his beloved shih tzu, Spaghetti. He has been un-able to live with her for the past two years because his old, leaky trailer wasn’t safe for her.

“It means that I’m not total-ly alone,” he said. “The love that that dog shows me is absolutely undying and unconditional.”

Several local politicians, in-cluding two members of prov-incial parliament and Surrey city councillor Barinder Rasode, showed up to the key handover to wish Chalmers well, and to promise him they will continue to fight for harsher penalties for negligent landlords.

“As we head into the winter and you look at serious issues like people not having electri-city or heat, we are working on it right away,” said Rasode.

“We’re hoping in the next couple of weeks that we’ll have a recommendation (on tougher bylaws) from our bylaws de-partment.”

Others still without power

Eight residents with nowhere else to go still live at the Beladean Trailer Park in Sur-rey, which has been running on generators for nearly six weeks since an inadequately supervised motel demolition knocked the power out on Sept. 14.

• Program manager of emergency shelter Hyland House Peter Fedos con-ducts homeless outreach in the area on behalf of B.C. Housing.

• He said the city, the Ministry of Social Develop-ment, and Options Com-munity Services, of which Hyland House is a part, are in constant contact about the situation.

• “Everyone is trying to ease the stress occurring for the residents at the trailer park,” he said.

• “The Hyland House Mobile Outreach team is work-ing with people there to see if we can get them re-housed in collaboration with B.C. Housing and everyone who is at the table supporting us.”

A Roma woman in Bulgaria has undergone DNA testing and faces preliminary char-ges of child selling as author-ities investigate if she is the mother of a young girl found living with an unrelated couple in Greece, authorities said Thursday.

Though the tests have yet to prove Sasha Ruseva, 35, is the biological mother of the girl known as “Maria,” the woman’s admission that she once left a baby behind in Greece opened her up to a formal investigation.

Ruseva acknowledged to

Bulgarian TV that she had been questioned about the girl, believed to be five or six years old, who was found during a raid for drugs and weapons in a Roma camp in central Greece last week. Ruseva said she gave birth to a girl while working as an ol-ive picker in Greece.

The child’s case gained global notice.

Ruseva said she wanted the girl back if tests prove she is the girl’s mother.

But she denied taking any money for giving up her baby to another Roma family years ago.

The preliminary charges filed against her allow au-thorities to start an investi-gation into whether money changed hands for the child.

Greek authorities took custody of “Maria” after a prosecutor present during the camp raid noticed the blond, blue-eyed and pale-

skinned girl looked nothing like the couple raising her.

A DNA test confirmed she was not related to them.

Ruseva said she rec-ognized the Greek Roma couple in the “Maria” case as the same people with whom she left her child. Ruseva said she gave birth to a girl while working as an ol-ive picker in Greece “several years ago,” but that she had to leave the child because she didn’t have enough money to take her home.

Ruseva has had eight chil-dren. “I intended to go back and take my child home, but meanwhile I gave birth to two more kids so I was not able to go back,” Ruseva said on Bulgarian TV, insisting that she did not get paid for giving up the girl. The “Maria” case has spurred con-cerns about child trafficking within the Roma community. the associated press

Roma people in the spotlight

Child trafficking?The “Maria” case has spurred concerns about child trafficking within the

Roma community, and cries of racism as well. In an epi-sode apparently inspired by the Greek case, two young blond, blue-eyed children were taken by police in Ireland from their Roma

parents, who had different complexions. But the girl and boy were returned to their families Wednesday after DNA tests determined the children were rightfully theirs. the associated press

Madeleine Mccann case reopenedPortugal’s public broadcaster says prosecutors are reopen-ing the police investigation into the disappearance of Brit-ish child Madeleine McCann, after a review of evidence found new leads in the case.

though the prosecutor gave no details in a report seen on Radiotelevisao Portuguesa.

The case was closed in 2008 because no crime was detected.

Russia. FBI investigates culture-exchange officialRussia on Thursday angrily dis-missed espionage accusations against a Russian cultural-ex-change official in Washington, saying the U.S. claims were un-founded.

The FBI is looking into whether Yury Zaytsev, the head of a Russian government-run cultural exchange program, tried to recruit young Amer-icans as intelligence assets, a U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press. The offi-

cial spoke on condition of ano-nymity because the probe was still underway.

The magazine Mother Jones first reported the story.

The Russian Foreign Min-istry said it was “bewildered” by the reports and said the “fab-rications they contained had nothing to do with the reality.”

Zaytsev dismissed the accus-ations as an attempt to hurt ties between Moscow and Washing-ton. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Spy charges shake U.S. alliances

European leaders united in anger Thursday as they attended a summit over-shadowed by reports of wide-spread U.S. spying on its allies — allegations German Chan-cellor Angela Merkel said had shattered trust in the Obama administration and under-

mined the crucial trans-Atlan-tic relationship.

The latest revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency swept up more than 70 million phone records in France and may have tapped Merkel’s own cellphone brought denunciations from the French and German gov-ernments.

Merkel’s unusually stern remarks as she arrived at the European Union gather-ing indicated she wasn’t pla-cated by a phone conversa-tion she had Wednesday with President Barack Obama, or

his personal assurances that the U.S. is not listening in on her calls now.

Other leaders arriving for the 28-nation meeting echoed Merkel’s displeasure. Swed-ish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called it “complete-ly unacceptable” for a coun-try to eavesdrop on an allied leader.

Echoing Merkel, Austria’s foreign minister, Micheal Spindelegger, said, “We need to re-establish with the U.S. a relationship of trust, which has certainly suffered from this.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Harper government’s bid for summary execution of senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau has turned into an agoniz-ingly slow soap opera that is exposing a nasty — and in-creasingly personal — family feud within the Conservative caucus.

Debate over government motions to suspend, without pay, the three erstwhile Con-servatives continued to rage in the Senate for the third straight day — with no end in sight.

Thursday’s debate saw Marjory LeBreton, former government leader in the Senate, fire back at Duffy for alleging she was part of a “monstrous” conspiracy to in-timidate him into accepting a secret deal to pay back ineli-gible expenses or face being disqualified from sitting in the Senate.

She variously described Duffy’s claims as “utterly preposterous,” “blatant false-

hood” and “stretching credu-lity.”

And, although LeBreton didn’t directly question Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s judgment in appointing Duffy to the upper chamber, she re-vealed that she was never a fan of the former broadcast journalist, who hosted a daily show on federal politics until his elevation to the Senate in 2009.

“I sometimes found my-self … frustrated by his style of journalism, trading as he did, more often than not, on gossip and the latest hot ru-mour,” LeBreton told the up-per chamber.

“And sometimes I was so disgusted that I felt like put-

ting my foot through the tele-vision set.”

When anyone com-plained, Duffy would say, “It’s showbiz,” LeBreton said, im-

plying that Duffy has taken the same approach to justify-ing his role in the Senate ex-penses scandal.the canadian press

Getting nasty. Debate continues to rage over bid to oust disgraced senators Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau — and now it’s personal

‘We have very good due process’

Government Senate leader Claude Carignan admitted the debate over the suspen-sion motions could drag on into next week. But he said that’s proof that the three senators are getting a fair hearing.

• Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau have had the opportunity to spend “a

very long time” to give their side of the story, and other senators are being allowed to freely air their views, Carignan said.

• “If somebody thinks we don’t have due process here, sorry, but we have very good due process,” Carignan added

Flu season. B.c. upholds policy requiring health workers to wear masksA British Columbia health-care workers union has lost its griev-ance against a provincial policy requiring members to get a flu shot or wear a mask during flu season — a development that may embolden other provinces to follow suit.

An arbitrator appointed by the provincial Labour Rela-tions Board ruled the policy is reasonable, and a valid exercise of the employer’s management rights.

“Health-care workers do not have to immunize; they have a choice to immunize or mask during the influenza season,” Robert Diebolt wrote in his de-cision, dated Wednesday.

“As to the mask, I am unable to characterize it as an invasive procedure. The union also char-acterizes a mask as stigmatiz-ing. I am unable to agree.”

The ruling upholding the B.C. policy is being closely

scrutinized by lawyers for the union that brought the ac-tion, the B.C. Health Sciences Association.

In coming days, the ruling will also be studied by public- health authorities across the country, some of whom are mulling over adopting similar actions in their jurisdictions.

The chairman of the Coun-cil of Chief Medical Officers of Health, Dr. Robert Strang, said his provincial and territorial counterparts have been fol-lowing the B.C. policy roll out closely.

“I think today’s events … create the possibility of other jurisdictions — whether it’s provinces or individual health authorities — now feeling they can move ahead in this area,” Strang said from Halifax, where he is Nova Scotia’s chief medic-al officer of health.the canadian press

Man given 14 months for abusing puppy An Edmonton man has been sentenced to 14 months for what the judge called “sickening” abuse of a puppy.

Kristopher David Bar-well had pleaded guilty to causing injury, wounding or maiming an animal.

When veterinarians first saw Zeus, a border collie, they thought it might not survive.

The dog’s hips were broken, there were maggot-infested wounds all over its body and two bullets were found in his thigh and tail.

After extensive treat-ment that included two artificial hips, the dog was given a new lease on life and a new family.the canadian press

Senate

Reform plan ruled unconstitutionalThe Harper govern-ment’s most recent attempt at Senate reform has been declared uncon-stitutional in a stinging court ruling rendered Thursday.

The Quebec Court of Appeal has released an opinion that the fed-eral government had no right, under Bill C-7, to create Senate elections and set term limits with-out seeking provincial approval.

It says the fath-ers of Confederation considered the role and function of the Senate in great detail, and the conditions they drew up were essential to uniting the provinces under one country. the canadian press

couple who starved boy didn’t concern aid worker, inquest hearsMargarita Quintana doesn’t recall many details about the case of Jeffrey Bald-win, a five-year-old boy who starved to death at the hands of his grandparents 11 years ago.

But what the frontline children’s aid worker does remember is that the boy’s grandmother, Elva Botti-neau, appeared at the time as a reliable pillar of support at the centre of a troubled family.

Speaking softly, with multiple pauses for thought, Quintana repeatedly told an inquest into Jeffrey’s death Thursday she had no concerns about Bottineau, which was why she never carried out a records check on the grandparents.

“They were highly in-volved with the family. They were always concerned about the children,” said Quintana, who’s now retired from the Catholic Children’s Aid Society.

The inquest has heard that both Bottineau and her partner Norman Kid-man had a history of child abuse, including convic-tions and various deal-ings with the children’s aid society.

But a lack of records checks meant children’s aid workers didn’t look through their own files to discover details of the pair’s past until after Jeffrey’s death.

Jeffrey was so severely starved at the end of his life

that he couldn’t lift his own head. He was just 21 pounds when he died in November, 2002 — about as much as he weighed on his first birth-day.

The inquest has heard how Bottineau and Kidman kept Jeffrey and one of his sisters locked away in a cold, filthy room, where they were left to urinate and defecate and then forced to clean up their own mess.

But to Quintana, more than a decade ago Botti-neau and Kidman appeared to present a better care al-ternative than Jeffrey’s par-ents, who were described as a young “high-risk” pair who struggled with domes-tic violence issues.the canadian press

Anti-government ideology becoming a growing concernSovereign citizens? Libertarian-inspired philosophy said to pose threat to officer and public safety

Training for frontline officers and better information sharing between police and govern-ment agencies can help protect law enforcement officials from potentially aggressive “sover-eign citizens,” says a newly de-classified briefing to Canadian police chiefs.

The presentation, prepared for a meeting of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, calls the libertarian-inspired philosophy “a growing con-cern” that poses a “threat to of-ficer and public safety.”

Enforcement agencies are

becoming increasingly wary of sovereign citizens, members of the Freeman-on-the-Land move-ment and other like-minded people who resist police and government authority. Adher-ents say they shun violence and merely want to live free of government-imposed shackles.

However, police say those who espouse the ideology have been involved in numerous

violent encounters with law-enforcement and government employees in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in Can-ada. Freemen commonly claim they do not require a driver’s licence, insurance or vehicle registration, police say. And ad-vocates frequently assert a right to have weapons for self-protec-tion, among other things. the cAnAdiAn press

CAREER FINDER

Loblaw joins Primark in paying out victims

Grocery giant Loblaw Compan-ies Ltd. says it will provide long-term financial assistance to the victims and families affected by a deadly factory collapse in Ban-gladesh in April.

The company said Thurs-day the compensation will go to those who worked at the New Wave Style factory, which

produced clothing for Loblaw’s Joe Fresh clothing line. The company will also pay three months in wages to workers until the longer-term funds kick in.

The New Wave Style factory was one of five manufacturing plants in the Dhaka plaza that

collapsed, killing more than 1,100 workers on April 24.

Loblaw did not disclose the total compensation amount.

In addition, the company has joined with British clothing retailer Primark to provide fi-nancial assistance to workers of all retailers in the factory plaza.

“Should the other brands not step forward and join in this funding, we will join Primark and immediately contribute to the payment of three months’ wages for the approximately 3,600 individ-uals involved, regardless of the brand apparel that was being produced in their workplace,” said Bob Chant, Loblaw’s senior vice-president of corporate af-fairs and communications.

The company has previous-ly donated $1 million to Save the Children Bangladesh and the Centre for Rehabilitation of the Paralysed, to help those in the country’s garment industry.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Third-quarter earnings

Potash Corp. hit hard by weaker prices, lower salesPotash Corp. is reporting third-quarter earnings of 41 cents per share on $356 mil-lion in net earnings.

That’s down from 74 cents per share, or $645 million, in the same period last year as a result of weaker prices and lower potash sales volumes.

The Saskatoon-based company says offshore invest-ments in Jordan, Chile and Israel contributed $85 million to earnings for the quarter.

But PotashCorp says while the need for crop nutrition fuelled strong demand in the first half of 2013, a change

in strategy by Uralkali in July stalled global demand.

Key markets — particular-ly large buyers in China and India — delayed purchases or were reluctant to accept ma-jor shipments against existing contracts.

As a result, shipments from North American produ-cers fell to one of the lowest third-quarter totals in recent history.

PotashCorp says buyer caution and competitive pres-sures resulted in a price of $307 per tonne in the quarter, down from $429 in the same period last year. As a result the company, has revised its 2013 potash gross margin forecast range to $1.5-$1.7 bil-lion on expected shipments of 8 million and 8.4 million tonnes. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Illegal Eater. He sang about loving Kraft Dinner, now he’s a foodie on TV

Former Barenaked Ladies front man Steven Page is trading his guitar for a fork in a new television series that looks at the shady world of food.

The show, The Illegal Eat-er, which airs Tuesdays on the Travel and Escape chan-nel, is an exploration of the slightly shady, just-below-board eateries in North American cities.

Page said when he was first approached about the show he thought it would be an opportunity to try television while still staying close to something he cares about.

“I still identify as a musi-cian,” he said. “I am not a re-

porter. I am not a journalist. I am an entertainer, and food is kind of my comfort zone. Outside of music it is what I care about.”

The show looks at supper clubs and other underground eateries that feel part speak-easy and part haute cuisine.

Page said initially he thought filming an illegal eatery would be a real chal-lenge, but he hasn’t found it to be a problem.

“I was surprised at how many people were quite will-ing to let us in,” he said.

He said most of the places they profiled were willing to be filmed, because they ac-cepted being shut down as part of the business.

“We talked to some people who had been shut down several times and just kept moving,” he said.

Cameron Diaz and Penélope Cruz are just two parts of the Counselor’s star-studded cast. CONTRIBUTED

Richard: Mark, The Counselor is the feel bad movie of the year. Bleak and hopeless, it’s a crime drama that examines the reasons and consequences of crime instead of focusing on the crime itself. It’s a stylish cau-tionary tale about the worst of human behaviour driven by greed, lust and hubris; a non-action, action movie where most of the fireworks are in McCarthy’s dialogue. Luckily actors like Bardem, Pitt and Fassbender are there to keep the fuse lit. What did you make of it?

Mark: I’m convinced there’s a decent movie embedded in this overstuffed, overwrit-ten film. First, let’s take out all the portentous, existen-tial speeches delivered by even the most tangential characters. Then, we could cut about two-thirds of Mi-chael Fassbender’s pained reaction shots. He looks like he’s got indigestion after be-ing force-fed the script. Oh, and get rid of the opening soft-core scene between him and Penélope Cruz. Then, there might be a grimly sar-donic movie on the order of No Country for Old Men. But as it is, I could only enjoy it for the acting, the scenery, and Bardem’s collection of 80’s Versace shirts.

RC: I liked it more than you, but only by one of Javier Bar-

dem’s crazy Brian Grazier hairs. Talky to the extreme, the entire movie is built around dialogue that sounds like it flowed from the hard-est boiled crime writer out there, which I guess Mc-Carthy is now that Elmore Leonard is working from his celestial typewriter. Catch phrases abound — “You don’t know someone until you know what they want,” for example — but it is wordy. Sometimes brilliantly so, but the pacing, particularly in the first hour, will be thought of as hypnotic by some, slow by others. My main disappoint-ment was Diaz, who I didn’t think could deliver the dia-logue. You?

MB: Diaz was OK because she looked the part and that got her through some clunky

line readings. But back to the script... the plot is revealed slowly, in layers, which will not be to everyone’s liking. You just know you are in the company of some very bad people; you’re just not sure why. This mysterious-ness kept me interested for awhile; then I started counting the speaking parts and calculating the budget. Even at scale, it must have mounted up. And semi-famous actors keep showing up for only one scene, never to be seen again, like Ruben Blades. And Richard, was that John Leguizamo in an uncredited scene?

RC: Yes! It’s cameo city!

MB: Fits right in with the movie’s aesthetic of more is more.

Less talk, more actionThe Counselor. Existential speeches bog down a promising dark crime drama

Synopsis

In Cormac ‘No Country for Old Men’ McCarthy’s screenwrit-ing debut, The Counselor, he tells a gritty story of a greedy lawyer (Michael Fassbender) in over his head after dipping his toe in the narcotics trade with drug lord Reiner (Javier Bardem) and his sociopath girlfriend Malkina (Cameron Diaz). When the deal — smug-gling 625 kilos of cocaine from Mexico to Chicago — goes south, the counselor fi nds his life swirling out of control. Spiraling around this grim vortex are womanizing mid-dle-man Westray (Brad Pitt), prison inmate Ruth (Rosie Perez) and the counselor’s long-distance girlfriend Laura (Penélope Cruz).

Haute cuisineDirector. Christian Vincent

Stars. Catherine Frot

• • • • •

Hortense (Frot) was once the private chef of the President of France. Now, she prepares meals for a bunch of unruly scien-tists at a research base in Antarctica. So what caused the celebrated chef to move to a frozen food desert? That’s never satisfactorily answered. Flashbacks of her time at the Élysée Palace de-tail power struggles, but all this seems outweighed by Hortense’s love of prepar-ing French cuisine. The film could do with a little more explanation and fewer close-ups of her (albeit mouth-watering) culinary creations. regan reid

AustenlandDirector. Jerusha Hess

••• • •

Fandom makes people do weird things. In Austenland, Jane Hayes (Keri Russell) blows her savings on a Jane Austen “experience” run by Jane Seymour in a bid to meet her own Mr. Darcy. Pre-dictably, things don’t pan out and Jane finds herself caught in a modern Pride and Prejudice situation, held back by her social status and falling for the wrong guy. It’s a clever setup, but writer-director Jerusha Hess can’t seem to break out of the rote romantic-comedy box. Worse, the jokes fail to yield any laughs.ian gormely

Stars. Robert Redford

• • • • •

Robert Redford plays a sailor on a solo yacht trip on the Indian Ocean. When his boat collides with an abandoned shipping container he must use all his resources to survive. The actor is in every frame of this film and although he only speaks a dozen or so lines, manages to create a compelling persona of a man hell bent on sur-vival against increasingly difficult odds. All is Lost is more audacious than it is entertaining, but it showcases Redford’s effort-less star power. Alone and figuratively naked, he holds the screen for the entire 106 minutes. richard crouse

Bad GrandpaDirector. Jeff Tremaine

It’s juvenile and tasteless but let’s not pretend the stunts the Jackass team cook up aren’t daring. In Bad Grandpa, Jackass mastermind Johnny Knoxville spins a narrative into the mix, playing a sex-obsessed octogenarian who teams up with his pre-pubescent grandson to pull provocative pranks on the unsuspecting public. Although the “story” ultimately suffers on behalf of the gags, Knoxville and young Jackson Nicoll are extraordinary, especially when they push buttons in a little miss princess pageant. steve gow

Tom Hardy will play Elton John in a biopic titled Rocketman.

Focus Features announced Hardy’s casting as the iconic piano man on Wednesday. The film is planned to begin shoot-ing late next year.

The 36-year-old British actor is well respected for his wide-ranging talent, but his brawny, tattooed frame makes him an unconventional choice. Hardy is most famous for playing the terrorist Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. He has show-cased a muscled masculinity in films like Warrior, Lawless and Bronson.

Playing the Hollywood game

Since getting Hollywood’s attention — and an Oscar nom-ination — for True Grit in 2010, 16-year-old Hailee Steinfeld has kept some impressive mo-mentum going. This fall, she debuted Can a Song Save Your Life at the Toronto Internation-al Film Festival before seeing Romeo and Juliet hit theatres. Now she co-stars in the long-awaited film adaptation of the science-fiction novel Ender’s Game.

It’s still early

in your career,

but you’re making some great choices.

There’s really been no specif-ic method in terms of picking roles or any of that. I find that everything that I’ve done has been so different from the last,

and I think that’s a reason why I love that and I’m attracted to certain roles. But it’s a process that involves my agents and my parents, so there’s a lot of filtering before it gets to me. It comes down to just sort of lov-ing the idea and loving the whole story and

wanting to be a part of it.

You’re also doing a lot of adaptations, which is becom-ing a common theme.Yes! Which again is not neces-sarily intentional but really helpful. I always find it inter-esting when some actors don’t

read the book (something is based on) — which is starting to make more sense to me given the fact that you’re given a script to make a movie, and it may or may not have anything to do with the

book. I remember when I shot True Grit, the fact that it was a book and had been done before was huge for me and it helped me so much. And then with Romeo and Juliet and Ender’s Game, it’s just a couple hun-dred extra pages of knowledge.

With Ender’s Game, some viewers seem to be look-ing for a love story between yours and Asa Butterfield’s characters

where there isn’t one. Is that frustrating?Yeah, right? I know. I think in some ways it’s expected. But the beauty of the relationship is that there’s no pressure in terms of liking each other or any of that.

They don’t have to fall in love to trust each other. There doesn’t have to be any of that. They have a really great friend-ship, which I

think is really spe-cial. And

again, they’re in Battle School. People aren’t secretly going out, there’s none of that happening. There’s no place to go, there’s nothing to do,

you’re under strict rules and you’re away from your family so all you really want is a friend.

You make Battle School sound almost like a film set. Yeah, totally! (laughs) No, it’s really interesting how

that crossed over to our lives, being

away from home and

working however

long each day. We were getting up at 7 a.m. for boot camp and all that stuff, but we had a really good time.

Jerry Ferrara swears it’s a coincidence that his post-Entourage acting career keeps bringing him back to Las Vegas — not that he’s

complaining. Ferrara hits the bachelor party circuit in Last Vegas and next spring’s Think Like a Man Too. And he’s starting to feel like a local.

You’ve got two movies com-ing up set in Las Vegas. How much more fun or more dif-ficult is it to film there?You know what? Look, Vegas is obviously a really fun place to spend your time. There is a big difference in going there for two or three days and then living there for two or three months. I don’t know why the stars are kind

of lining up and bringing me back there to work — not saying that I don’t appreciate it. I love it, but it’s just weird. It’s a crazy experience to actually get used to a routine in Vegas — getting on the elevator at 5 a.m. to go to work when most people are coming home; going through a full day and then you kind of come home from work; you have some dinner and you’re like, “Oh, I’m going to read a book or my script for tomorrow and go to sleep.” I didn’t experience that in my younger years, so it’s weird. “I’m going to wake up and

go for a run at 5 a.m. in the desert.”

People do actually live there and work there.Exactly! At one point I started saying to myself, “You know what? I could live here. I could see myself living here.” There’s definitely a lot to do, as long as you keep the gambling in check (laughs). You can have a nice little life over there.

In Last Vegas, you get laid out by Robert De Niro. Is it easier on your pride to take getting decked by a senior

citizen when it’s De Niro?I don’t think anybody — especially any guy who fancies himself as even being a little bit tough — wants to get beat up in a movie. But I can’t think of a better person in the world — like if you literally gave me a choice and said, “Jerry, you’re going to have to get knocked out in this movie. You can cast anyone you want to knock you out,” De Niro would be the guy I would say. I’m pretty lucky in the sense that my first on-screen knockout punch is by Robert frigging De Niro.

Oscar season officially kicked off last month at the Toronto International Film Festival, and Hollywood has wasted no time pushing their awards favourites in theatres and at the remaining fall festivals, but most of the buzzed-about films have still yet to hit screens. That means it’s time for one of the industry’s favourite

pastimes: rampant speculation. Here’s where we think the nominations will land — assuming Martin Scorsese gets his Wolf of Wall Street ready in time.

What will Oscar bring this year?

best pictureFor possibly the first year since the Academy expanded the big category to up to 10 nominations, it might actually be tough to pick just 10. But for us, it doesn’t matter what other films get nods since 12 Years a Slave has it in the bag already.

• 12 Years a Slave — pro-jected winner • Gravity• Dallas Buyers Club• Nebraska• Captain Phillips• Wolf of Wall Street• Inside Llewyn Davis• American Hustle• Secret Life of Walter Mitty

best actorWe’ve already seen some fantastic performances this year, with more on the way, but the stars are aligned for Matthew McConaughey following a string of great, risky performances over the past two years leading up to his amazing work in Dallas Buyers Club.

• Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club — pro-jected winner• Chiwetel Ejiofor,12 Years a Slave• Hugh Jackman, Prison-ers• Leonardo DiCaprio, Wolf of Wall Street• Ben Stiller, Secret Life of Walter Mitty

best actressSandra Bullock is an easy favourite for the nerve-wracking Grav-ity, but we’re hoping Academy voters have long enough memories to finally give Cate Blan-chett her due for her work in Woody Allen’s latest.

• Sandra Bullock, Grav-ity• Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine — projected winner• Judi Dench, Philomena• Meryl Streep, August: Osage County• Kate Winslet, Labor Day

The Word

50 Shades has its brand new Christian Grey: Jamie DornanWait, Jamie who?Dornan.

Oh, from Game of Thrones?No, from Once Upon a Time, that TV series with fairy tale characters. He played the Hunstman in the Enchanted Forest and Sheriff Graham in Storybrooke, the show’s alternative universe.

Where else have I seen him?Possibly Marie Antoinette, if you were one of the six people who saw that. Or from magazine ads. He was a Cal-vin Klein model and the face (and body) of Dior Homme. But British audiences know the 31-year-old as the serial

killer on The Fall, a hit BBC series starring Gillian Ander-son. And gossip fans know him as Keira Knightley’s ex. They dated for two years.

So how’d he get cast as Chris-tian Grey?He has abs. He has experi-ence (sexing up the lady mayor on Once). And he probably came cheap. Sons

of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam, who has a higher profile, was reportedly to be paid only $125,000 before he dropped out. Expect Dornan to get that or less.

Word is he’s Northern Irish. Does he have a sexy accent?A bit.

So is he single?Alas, no. He’s married to singer Amelia Warner, who records under the name Slow Moving Millie. They’re expecting a child soon.

And does Twitter approve?It’s early. Fans are probably still busy Google Image-searching his name to form an opinion. But the popular @BieberSuperArmy account was among the first to weigh in with: “This will be Chris-tian Grey, his name is Jamie Dornan, let’s take a moment to thank God.” METRO

Are Pattinson and Stewart hooking up on the DL?

Maybe things aren’t so over between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart after all. The Twilight co-stars, who offi-cially split up five months ago, have reportedly been seeing each other on the sly, accord-ing to Life & Style magazine. “They’ve always had a passion

for each other, so even though the relationship didn’t work out, they still hook up when they’re in L.A.,” a source says. “Rob doesn’t see a future with Kristen at this point in time, but he likes to hook up with her. He’s made it clear that they are not exclusive.”

Busy schedules end Evans and Kelly part two

Chris Evans and girlfriend Minka Kelly have reportedly split up — again. The couple first dated in 2007 and re-united last year, but their busy work schedules made the rela-tionship impossible, according to Us Weekly. “It didn’t make sense for them to be together

right now,” a source says. Kelly has been filming the TV series Almost Human in Vancouver, while Evans has been wrapping up his second Captain America movie and

prepping his directorial debut, 1:30 Train.

After a false alarm last month, Clint Eastwood’s wife, Dina, has filed for divorce from the 83-year-old actor and director, seeking to end their 17-year marriage, according to TMZ. In court documents filed in Monterey, Calif., this week, Dina cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their breakup and is seek-ing physical custody of their 16-year-old daughter, Morgan. Last month, Dina filed for a legal separation from Clint but withdrew the petition two days later.

Lindsay Lohan’s behaviour over the past week has been raising eyebrows, leading skeptics to suspect the effects of her court-ordered 90-day rehab stint may have worn off, but her dad, Michael Lohan, insists all is well. “I’ve seen and speak to Lindsay constantly, and every time I do she is clear of mind, and by no means do I have any suspicion of her relapsing in any way,” he tells Radar Online. “Maybe she goes out at night, but who doesn’t? She’s up in the morning and she’s doing the right thing.”

Vampire Doughnuts

1. Arrange a stack of honey-glazed doughnuts on a large serving tray.

2. Use a bamboo skewer to poke two fang holes in the top of each, then dribble red gel food colouring (sold in tubes in the grocer’s baking aisle) coming out of the holes and down the sides of the doughnuts.

For winemakers, fall is all

about harvesting. Brewers, meanwhile, turn to the creation of limited edition craft ales — many of which take their names and flavour cues from the season.

Local brews are hotter than Hades, with their fans applying a reverence for their stylistic differences that’s argu-ably surpassed only by those

who appreciate fine wine.What gives beer the edge

when it comes to the “cool fac-tor” is that consumer attitude regarding adding flavour ele-ments to beer is much more open minded than those of their counterparts in the wine world.

That gives breweries carte blanche to add inspiration to

their autumn ales, with many focusing on October’s official gourd — the pumpkin.

The output of most small, regional breweries is sold close to home, so visit them, or hit your local retailer, to see what’s being brewed in your own backyard.

The Great Pumpkin Ale (4 by 341 ml, $9.95 - $10.95) is avail-able across the country.

Infused with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove and, of course, pumpkin, it balances its vegetal expression with an undercurrent of subtle spice. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL PROVINCES.

Goblet Grave1. Head to the craft store (or online) and pick up a silicone skull and cross-bones ice cube tray.

2. Fill each cavity with plain Greek yogurt, then use an offset spatula to smooth the tops and remove any excess yogurt from the tray. Freeze until solid (overnight is best).

3. Let the cubes soften at room temperature for sev-eral minutes, then remove the ice cubes from the tray.

4. Arrange the cubes in a small bowl set over a larger bowl of crushed ice. Serve alongside goblets of grape juice.

Doughnut Spider1. Set a chocolate glazed doughnut in the centre of a large serving platter. Place a chocolate cake doughnut up against it. The glazed doughnut forms the spi-der’s body; the cake doughnut is the head.

2. Place 2 chocolate doughnut holes on top of the cake dough-nut to form eyes (use a dab of frosting to hold them in place). Top each doughnut hole with a dab of white or yellow frosting, then gently press a chocolate chip into each.

3. For the legs, arrange three sets of three chocolate doughnut holes coming off of each side of the “body” doughnut. If desired, additional frosting can be used to keep the leg doughnut holes in place.

Candied Apple Craniums

1. Wash and dry 6 apples. Insert a large frozen pop or candy stick. Set aside.

2. Place 12 ounces of white candy melts in a heat-safe bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water. Stir until the candy has melted.

3. Dunk each apple into candy melts, spooning it up the sides and over the top for an even coating. Set coated apples upright on waxed paper.

4. Use a rolling pin to roll out Tootsie Rolls until flat. Use a paring knife to cut round eyes and a heart-shaped nose from the flattened Tootsie Rolls. “Glue” the eyes and nose (mount the “heart” upside down) to the apples using piping gel or a bit of purchased frosting.

Roughriders running back Kory Sheets speaks to reporters at Mosaic Stadium on Thursday. MARCO VIGLIOTTI/METRO IN REGINA

Sheets stands by Cornish comments

The Saskatchewan Rough-riders head west Saturday night to face the league-lead-ing Calgary Stampeders at McMahon Stadium in what

could be the CFL’s most high-profile regular-season match-up.

But in a game touted as a possible West Division final preview, most of the focus has been on the clash be-tween the teams’ running backs after Roughriders star Kory Sheets said this week that he’s a superior talent to Stamps counterpart Jon Cor-nish.

“He’s going to have a good game or I’m going to have a good game,” Sheets said on Thursday at Mosaic Stadium about the rivalry between the two running backs, noting he

isn’t concerned with any reac-tion from Cornish, who has mostly remained mum.

“What they (the Stamped-ers) got going on over there is not going to affect me,” he added. “I make sure I focus on here, I focus on the Saskatch-ewan Roughriders.”

After snapping a four-game losing streak earlier this month, the Riders have won their last three games, including a 35-14 victory at home over the B.C. Lions last weekend.

The Stamps have kept pace, however, stringing together a four-game winning

streak of their own. Something has to give on

Saturday in Calgary. “It’s going to be a big

game,” Riders head coach Corey Chamblin said of the matchup.

“Like I told the guys, I don’t think I need to hype you up (to face the Stampeders).”

With a victory, the Riders could still catch the Stamps for first place in the West — if they beat Edmonton in their last regular-season game next weekend and Calgary falls to B.C.

Kickoff on Saturday is at 5 p.m.

Morgan Rielly will stay with the Leafs beyond this weekend when they facethe Blue Jackets Friday and the Penguins Saturday. CLAUS ANDERSEN/GETTY IMAGES

Young Leafs defender staying in bigsMorgan Rielly is looking for a place to live and a roommate.

The Maple Leafs’ prized rookie defenceman, all of 19, got the word Thursday mor-ning that he had made the team and won’t be returning to the Moose Jaw Warriors. Or, more to the point, the team was going to keep him past the nine-game tryout teenagers get without burning the first year of their three-year entry-level contract.

“It’s a pretty good feeling,” said Rielly. “But I have a lot left to prove. I have to keep work-

ing hard and keep getting bet-ter.”

The Leafs have asked Rielly to get a roommate, rather than live on his own.

“We would like him to find a roommate and move in with somebody,” said Carlyle. “We feel it’s imperative that a young player, 19 years old, live with somebody.”

Sidney Crosby lived with Mario Lemieux. Right now, Nathan MacKinnon is living with J.S. Giguere in Colorado. With the Leafs, Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel are roomies.

Rielly hadn’t asked anyone yet Thursday. “I don’t want to live with any old guys,” he said. “Wait and see what happens.”TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Cards double down on Red Sox to even World Series

Michael Wacha won again in October and the St. Louis Car-dinals got just enough help from Boston, beating the Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night to tie the World Series at 1-all.

Down 2-1 after David Or-tiz hit a two-run homer in the sixth, the Cardinals ral-lied for three runs in the seventh to end B o s -ton’s

nine-game winning streak in the World Series that started with a sweep of St. Louis in 2004.

Matt Carpenter’s tying sacri-fice fly set off a chain of Red Sox misplays. Catcher Jarrod Salta-lamacchia let the wide throw home skip off his glove, then pitcher Craig Breslow made a wild toss that wound up in the Fenway Park seats. Carlos Belt-ran fol- lowed

with an RBI single.Wacha improved to 4-0 this

month, pretty impressive for any pitcher, let alone a

Busch Stadium. Jake Peavy is set to start for Boston against Joe Kelly.

Wacha had already ex-tended his scoreless streak to 18 2/3 innings —- a record for a rookie in a single post-season — before Ortiz tagged him in the sixth.

A day after Ortiz homered after nearly hitting a grand slam earlier in an 8-1 romp, Big Papi connected for his fifth home run of this post-season and 17th of his career.

Dustin Pedroia drew a one-out walk and, with the Fenway Park crowd on its feet, Ortiz hit a full-count changeup over the wall in left-centre field edge.

Lackey worked around four hits in slowing the Cardinals. He pitched a day after turning 35 — it was his first Series start since 2002 when, as a rookie for the Angels, he beat Barry Bonds and San Francisco in Game 7.the associated press

NBA

Raptors extend contracts of Ross, ValanciunasThe Toronto Raptors have exercised the third-year team options on the entry-level contracts of centre Jonas Valanciunas and guard Terrence Ross, extending the deals through the 2014-15 season.

The Raptors had until next Thursday to exercise their option on both players.

The seven-foot, 257-pound Valanciunas joined the Raptors after being selected fifth overall in the 2011 NBA draft and spending the 2011-12 season playing overseas.

He was named to the

2012-13 NBA all-rookie second team after finishing the year ranked third among rookies in rebounds (6.0), blocks (1.26) and field goal percentage (.557). Valan-ciunas also ranked seventh among rookies averaging 8.9 points in 23.9 minutes.

A native of Utena, Lithu-ania, Valanciunas became the fifth rookie in franchise history to start on opening night.

Ross, a six-foot-seven, 197 pound forward, was selected eighth overall in the 2012 draft. Last season he posted averages of 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 17.0 minutes in 73 games. He shot .332 (65-196) from beyond the arc and finished fifth among rookies in made three-pointers.the canadian press

Jake Virtanen is not recogniz-able to every Canadian junior hockey fan, but NHL scouts def-initely know his name.

The 17-year-old Calgary Hit-men winger is expected to be among the top selections in next summer’s NHL draft.

“I’d be very surprised if he wasn’t,” said Washington Cap-itals Western scout Terry Rich-ardson. “In my opinion, he’s a top 10, top 15 for sure. I don’t

get to see all the kids, of course, actually in Eastern Canada, but this kid’s good. He’s big. Strong. He’s what everybody wants.”

Virtanen, a New Westmin-ster, B.C., native who grew up in the Fraser Valley commun-ities of Langley and Abbotsford, is helping his cause this week, as he’s a big reason why the Hit-men remain in first place in the WHL’s Western Conference.

He has five goals in his last

four games and recorded his first WHL hat trick in a 6-3 win over the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Sunday. With eight goals and four assists in 14 games, he continues to progress from a rookie season in which he gen-erated 16 goals and 18 helpers.

“My 16-year-old season was pretty good,” said Virtanen, who stands six-foot-one and weighs 210 pounds.

“I finished strong. I had a

strong second half of the sea-son. I get drafted this year, so (the draft) is in the back of my mind. It’s obviously one of the biggest years of my life.

“So I’m really looking for-ward to (doing well) this season. It’s a huge challenge for me.”

Virtanen has not set any specific goals while he attempts to help the Hitmen reach the Memorial Cup, though he’s hopeful for a chance to play

for Canada’s entry at the world junior tournament during the Christmas holidays. But he is eager to live up to his pre-draft billing.

NHL Central Scouting has listed him as a player to watch, ranking him among only seven WHL A-level skaters. Mean-while, International Scouting Services has ranked him No. 4 on its list of top 2014 prospects.the canadian press

Manning returned to practice Thursday after the Broncos held him out a day earlier because of a minor ankle injury he sustained in Denver’s loss at Indianap-olis last weekend.

It was his first skipped practice since joining the Broncos 19 months ago, the result of the pounding he took in his homecoming at Indianapolis last weekend along with the coaches’ desire to give him a day’s rest as the midpoint of the season approaches. the associated press

Horoscopes

Aries March 21 - April 20 You may wish that everything in your life was perfect but if it was, you would soon grow bored. With that in mind, don’t get angry if little things go wrong today.

Taurus April 21 - May 21 If you have something important to say, say it now if you want your words to have impact. However, if you’re critical of someone, they might be critical of you too.

Gemini May 22 - June 21 If you know what you want today, you will find a way to get it, even though you may have no idea how to get from here to there. Neptune, planet of imagination, will guide your thoughts and your footsteps.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 Give yourself a break today, not least because the Sun in your fellow Water sign of Scorpio is going to bring remarkable new opportunities your way. The more rest you get now, the more you will accomplish later.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 The most important thing now is that you keep your enthusi-asm level high. The planets warn that you may be tempted to take life a bit too easy and if you do then your plans will come to nothing.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 At times throughout the day you will wonder if you can believe what you see and hear. But, it’s true: some people are behaving so badly you must have nothing to do with them.

Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 You will only have time to act today. That applies especially to work and financial matters where you must follow your instincts — even if what they tell you seems strange.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Resist the urge to look back when you should be looking forward. The Sun in your sign means you can start anew, no matter how many issues are nagging at you from the past.

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You may be concerned that you did not work hard enough to iron out a relationship problem and, yes, maybe that is true, but it’s too late now. The chance will come again when the time is right. Stop worrying.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Why do people seem to think and speak and act in slow motion? Whatever the reason, you have to live in the same world, so try not to get uptight. Think of your blood pressure.

Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Your mind may be alive with possibilities but those around you seem dead to your good ideas. You don’t need their help or approval. You can get where you need to be on your own.

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 OK, so you made a mistake. The important question is: what did you learn from it? One thing, for sure, is that failure isn’t as painful as you thought it would be. Pick yourself up, brush yourself of and keep going. SALLY BROMPTON
