News worth sharing.

If you want to tell the city how tospend your tax dollars next year,now is your chance to speak up —but citizens and councillors alikesay they aren’t expecting hugeturnouts at the budget consulta-tions this week.

One citizen group says the meet-ings are inaccessible, while anoth-er says they won’t be effective inconvincing councillors to makemajor changes to the budget draft,tabled Wednesday.

Councillors Tim Tierney andRainer Bloess, who will be at theEast End meeting tomorrow night,said they don’t think there will bea crowd, because people are gen-erally happy with the draft budget.

Federation of Citizens Associa-tions spokesperson James O’Gradysaid the budget meetings are at

inconvenient times, are too soonfor residents to have had a chanceto study it and are too far away formany residents to attend.

Bloess said there are many oth-er ways to get your views on thebudget heard — including fillingout a form on the city’s website,contacting your councillor directlyor attending any of the smallermeetings councillors hold for theirward residents.

The Ottawa Taxpayer AdvocacyGroup — usually a low-tax, anti-debt voice at meetings — is notgoing to make a formal presenta-tion this year, said municipalfinance critic Mike Maguire. Hesays he believes a presentationwouldn’t convince council to makesignificant changes or decide to bor-row less money. Still, he said he did

submit comments via the city web-site and spoke with his ward coun-cillor. Bloess said councillors arelistening and if enough people saythey’re concerned about the taxrate and debt, the budget will bechanged.

“If that’s a repeated message weget from people, it sends us back tothe drawing board, but that’s notreally what we’re hearing,” he said.

Some parents may thinkthe ghost-white makeupthey slather on their kids’faces this Halloween nightis safe because of the “non-toxic” label on the pack-age.

Think again, says JohnBennett.

Bennett, executive di-rector of Sierra Club Cana-da, says many makeupproducts that claim to benon-toxic contain heavymetals such as lead. Thatshocking revelation ishighlighted in a 2009 re-port titled Pretty Scary:Could Halloween FacePaint Cause LifelongHealth Problems? by theU.S.-based Campaign forSafer Cosmetics.

Ten out of 10 face-paintproducts tested containedlead, which can harm chil-dren’s developing brains,the report said. Six out of10 contained nickel, cobaltand/or chromium at high-er-than-recommended lev-els.

“We wanted to makesure parents understandwhat they might be put-ting on their children’sfaces and give them an op-portunity to do the alter-native — to make their

own or find other ways ofdressing children withoutresorting to these chemi-cally laced makeups,” Ben-nett says.

He suggests parents vis-it safecosmetics.org tolearn about natural, home-made makeup recipes. Forexample, to get brownmakeup, the website rec-ommends mixing choco-late sauce into acocoa-butter base.

Blane Holtz, manager ofOttawa’s Malabar CostumeHouse, says he sells onlypremium makeup such asKryolan from Germanyand Ben Nye from the U.S.

“I don’t carry basic Hal-loween cheap made-in-China makeup,” he says. “Istay away from that. Youhave no idea what’s in it. Iwouldn’t let a kid put alead product on theirface.”

Neither will Oresta Kor-butiak, an esthetician whoruns Oresta Organic SkinCare in Ottawa. She plansto dress her seven-year-olddaughter, Kalyna, in a dogcostume with only a touchof natural makeup.

“Some people may sayyou only wear it once …but it’s the bottom of thebarrel on the list of ingre-dients,” Korbutiak says.

“I won’t put it on mydaughter.”

Metro reporter Joe Lofaro opted for the cheapest non-toxic makeup he could find at a specialty Halloween store when he put this zipper face look together for a party Saturday night.

Study shows many face paintsare laced with lead and other toxins

Experts recommend natural,homemade alternatives

Consumersin dark aboutingredientsSeveral makeup productson store shelves this Hal-loween season lack lists ofingredients, so consumersare in the dark as to what,exactly, is in them.

Sierra Club Canada istrying to change that.

“Health Canada doesn’trequire full labelling, andthe toxic chemicals in

makeup in general — notjust for face paint — areconsidered proprietary in-formation. So we can’t seewhat toxic materials areactually in them,” saysJohn Bennett, Sierra ClubCanada executive director.“We think, ultimately,this is something HealthCanada should take upand require full labellingof all the ingredients.”

Bennett says his grouphas been lobbying andconsulting with HealthCanada for more than a

decade to get detailed in-gredients listed on prod-ucts such as cosmeticsand genetically modifiedfoods. He doesn’t believethere would be aneconomic tradeoff if allcompanies were requiredto list their ingredients.

“We need to have a sys-tem in which the publichas the full informationto make the choice.”

U.S. Northeast inrecovery mode

Jay Ericson clears snow off branches weighing down on power lines at his home

in Glastonbury, Conn., yesterday, following a snowstorm a day earlier.

Millions of people in theU.S. Northeast were with-out power as an unseason-ably early storm dumpedheavy, wet snow over theweekend on a regionmore used to gaping atleaves in October thanshovelling snow.

The snow was due tostop falling in the north-eastern New Englandstates late yesterday, butit could be days beforemany of the more thanthree million withoutelectricity see it restored,officials warned.

At least nine deathswere blamed on theweather, and states ofemergency were declaredin New Jersey, Connecti-cut, Massachusetts andparts of New York.

The storm worsened asit moved north, and com-munities in western Mas-sachusetts were amongthe hardest hit. Snowfall

totals topped 68.6 cen-timetres in Plainfield, andnearby Windsor had re-ceived 66 centimetres byearly yesterday.

Compounding thestorm’s impact were still-leafy trees, which gavethe snow something tohang onto, and whichthus put tremendousweight on branches, saidNational Weather Servicespokesman Chris Vaccaro.That led to limbs break-ing off and contributed to

the widespread poweroutages.

Some inland towns gotmore than 30 centimetresof snow. West Milford,N.J., about 72 kilometresnorthwest of New YorkCity, saw 48 centimetresby early yesterday.

New Jersey’s largestelectric and gas utility,PSE&G, warned customersto prepare for “potential-ly lengthy outages” andadvised power might notbe fully restored untilWednesday. More than600,000 lost electricity inthe state, including Gov.Chris Christie.

October snowfall israre in New York, and Sat-urday marked just thefourth October day withmeasurable snowfall inCentral Park since record-keeping began 135 yearsago, the National WeatherService said.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

He was oneof a handful of protestersstill at the park early yes-terday.“I had to come out andsupport,” he said. “The un-derlying importance ofthis is such that you haveto weather the cold.”“I’m not much good tothis movement if I’m shiv-ering,” Adash Daniel saidas he left the park.

Picture this: Kodak — thecompany that invented thefirst digital camera in 1975,and developed the phototechnology inside most cell-phones and digital devices— is in the midst of theworst crisis in its 131-yearhistory.

Eastman Kodak Co. isbetting that a big cash infu-sion from the sale of 1,100digital-imaging inventionswill see it through a transi-tion that has raised thespectre of bankruptcy.

Kodak popularized pho-tography over a centuryago. It marketed theworld’s first flexible rollfilm in 1888 and trans-formed picture-taking intoa mass commodity with the$1 Brownie camera in 1900.But for too long it stayedfirmly focused on its 20th-century cash cow, andfailed to capitalize quicklyon its new-wave know-howin digital photography.

Kodak has been playingcatch-up. Pummelled byWall Street over its dwin-dling cash reserves — andits attempts to reinvent it-self with digital imagingand printing — Kodak hasbeen hawking the digitalpatents since July. “Onething I would stress is: It isour intention to retain a li-cence to any of the intellec-tual property we sell,” saysKodak spokesman GerardMeuchner. “It’s like you sellthe property but still get tolive in the house.”

Many financial analysts

foresee the portfolio fetch-ing $2 billion to $3 billion.But others think Kodak canhaul in far more than that.That’s because patents havebecome highly valuable todigital-device makers whowant to protect themselvesfrom intellectual propertylawsuits.

“There is an all-out nu-clear war right now forglobal dominance in smart-phones, tablets and mobiledevices, and Kodak has oneof the largest caches ofweapons sitting there,” con-curs Christopher Marlett,chief executive of invest-ment bank MDB Capital.

Even a hefty return,skeptics counter, won’tsolve Kodak’s struggle toclose out a nearly decade-long transformation and re-turn to profitability in 2012after running up losses insix of the last seven years.

“All the extra cash does isgive you a lifeline for ashort period. And then,poof, you’re back in thesame position without theassets to sell,” says analystShannon Cross of Cross Re-search. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dissatisfac-tion, anger and frustra-tion over OC Transpo’s“network optimization”will cost the city muchmore in the long run.The truth is very clear:OC Transpo is generatingan increasingly angryridership and an evenangrier citizenry, and itdoes not look like thecity is bowing topressure any time soon.

The infamous Sept. 4changes brought aboutthe largest serviceadjustment in OC Trans-po’s history since theopening of theTransitway in 1983. Thepurpose of the changewas to remove inefficien-cies in the network bycombining, removing, orcreating new routes andservice where needed inorder to save the city ap-proximately $20 million.What followed could eas-ily be the best proof thatplanners at OC Transpo,city councillors and themayor do not use thesystem on a daily basis,if at all.

WEIRD NEWS

Even if you sell it, they will still comeThe sprawling eastern Iowa cornfieldsmade famous by the movie Field ofDreams are being sold to a companythat will preserve the site’s baseballlegacy, the owners announced yester-day.

Don and Becky Lansing said theyhave accepted an offer from Mike andDenise Stillman and their company,Go the Distance Baseball LLC, whichwill develop the site near Dyersville as

a baseball and softball complex. “We worked hard to maintain its

wholesome allure, and our successsays a lot about our nation’s love affairwith its national pastime,” Becky Lans-ing said in a statement. “It truly is aspecial place.”

The land has been in Don Lansing’sfamily since 1906. The couple put theproperty up for sale at $5.4 million USin May 2010. The parcel includes thetwo-bedroom house, baseballdiamond, six other buildings and 193acres — mostly cornfields — from themovie.

The Lansings said earlier this yearthat they had received severalinquiries about the site but were com-mitted to finding a buyer that wouldpreserve its legacy. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WATSON TAKESPOPULARITYPRIZE HOME

It seems we really, kinda, sor-ta like Jim Watson. (OK — 66per cent of us, plus or minus4.9 per cent, nineteen timesout of twenty.)

This according to a surveyof public-approval ratings for

Canada’s fifteen big-city mayors by ForumResearch, which rated Watson the fifthmost popular, behind Mississauga’s HazelMcCallion (78 per cent approval), Calgary’sNaheed Nenshi (76 per cent), Quebec City’sRegis Labeaume (74 per cent) and Surrey’sDiane Watts (68 per cent).

Toronto’s Mayor Rob Ford, elected at the same time asWatson with a similar share of the vote (47 per cent forRob, 49 per cent for Jim), lands second-last on the surveywith 37 per cent support. His unpopularity is trumped on-ly by that of Gerald Tremblay, mayor of Montreal (32 percent), where collapsing overpasses and allegations of pri-vate-public partnerships with organized crime and

construction firms have leftnobody looking good.

So what? you might ask.There’s more to governingthan popularity. That’sentirely true, but trywinning office or gettinganything done therewithout it. Last week mightserve as an illustration ofelected life at 37 per centand 66 per cent approval, re-spectively.

Ford spent much of theweek half-apologizing forand half-arguing over whichparticular profanities hespewed at a 911 operator ashe called the cops on a cam-era crew from This HourHas 22 Minutes. FordNation’s never dull.

Meanwhile, Watson wasbasking in fairly warmapplause for a draft budgetthat proposes to raise every-one’s property taxes 2.39per cent, a moderate kick in

the ankle, announced well in advance, instead of asurprise impact higher up.

The lesson of his predecessor Larry O’Brien, who loudlypledged to freeze those rates and then conspicuouslyfailed to deliver, is seemingly well learned. A proudly dullWatson likes to borrow Holiday Inn’s motto: “No surpris-es.”

If managing expectations is a key to Watson’s appeal,he also cultivates allies by sharing credit with them. Inlast week’s budget speech, as in last year’s, he managed toname-check all 23 of his city council colleagues, tyingtheir names to specific achievements and plans, plus nu-merous shoutouts to senior staff.

Watson’s sunny ways aside, only 47 per cent of respon-dents to the mayoral survey said they’d re-elect him, plac-ing him second in a hypothetical election against“Someone Else,” who would get 53 per cent of the vote.

Until Someone Else comes along, though, the like affairwith Mayor Watson continues.

Case in point. Coateswas at the gym a few yearsago when an ex-biker clubmember got right in hisface.

“Listen man,” Coates re-calls the guy saying, “I’mnot gonna pull any punch-es.” Using colourful lan-guage, the biker went on totell Coates that while heenjoyed his performance,he had problems with theshow.

The 52-year-old actorcalmly stood his ground. “Isaid to him, ‘It’s a TV show.Based on some truths,based on Hamletmetaphorically, but it’s aTV show.”'

Maybe it was the Hamletreference that soothed thedude. Maybe it was Coates’Harley out front. Whatever,Coates was able to makethe case that he was “justtrying to do a televisionshow within the genre ofthe biker world.”

U.S. last month for a fourthseason. The Saskatchewannative has never beenbusier. Besides Sons of An-archy, he was a familiarface on the just-finishedHBO series Entourage.

Coates has roles in fivefilms set to come out, in-cluding Sacrifice with CubaGooding, Jr., and A LittleHelp opposite Jenna Fisch-er (The Office). He was atthe Toronto InternationalFilm Festival last month topromote the rowdy hockeymovie Goon (co-written byJay Baruchel). SeannWilliam Scott, Alison Pilland Eugene Levy also have

roles in the film, whichwill be released next year.

When not working,Coates feels at home on hisHarley, a custom-builtWide Glide. “Got to kind ofdesign it myself from EagleNest Harley in Sacramen-to,” says Coates, one of onlytwo SOA cast memberswith biker cred heading in-to the series.

Despite his onscreen im-age — often as the creepnext door — in over 40films, Coates is a pussycathimself, a dedicated familyman married for 26 yearswith two grown daughters.

As for the Shakespeare

metaphor, Coates is equallyat home around Hamlet ashe is on a Harley. Hestarred as Macbeth at Strat-ford when he was just 27(singling out director TomKerr as “my mentor”) andenjoyed a run on Broadwayas Stanley Kowalski in AStreetcar Named Desire.

His love of theatre beganat the University ofSaskatchewan where hetook a drama class “just forfun.” He wound up doingplay after play over fouryears, “an amazing learn-ing ground for me.”

He gets the Hamletthing on SOA and credits

series creator Kurt Sutterwith turning this outlawbiker crew into compellingtelevision. “Kurt’s an amaz-ing storyteller,” saysCoates.

There was one timewhen Coates felt Suttermade a wrong turn on theseries. Without spoilingwhat happens in SeasonTwo, there is a momentwhen Tig (Coates) gets cozywith Gemma (Katey Sagal),the wife of the club presi-dent, Clay (Perlman).Coates read the script,could not believe Tig wouldever sneak around on Clayand demanded to see Sut-ter.

“Take a breath,” Suttertold Coates, explaining thatthis is, after all, a tale ofbiker outlaws, a world ofdrugs, sex and rock ’n’ roll.Gemma is lost and lonelyand comes on to Tig. Tig islost and lonely and re-sponds. “You’re not doing itout of anything with Clay,”explained Sutter. “It’s just amoment of two verywounded people comingtogether for some love, forsomething.”

“All I know is that thingsare happening this year,”says Coates. “Stuff is goingdown.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Metallica and the word“scared” don’t usually gotogether.

But fear was one of theemotions that band mem-bers felt when they beganwork on their latest album,Lulu, a collaboration withLou Reed that will be re-leased tomorrow.

“That was scary, but itwas also so exciting tothink, ‘Is he going to tell uswhat to play? Are we goingto know what to play? Is hegoing to start singing ran-domly? Should we figureout some parts?’” leadsinger James Hetfield saidin an interview. “We havehad many different ways ofrecording, and this is yetanother new way for us.”

Reed and Metallica, bothmembers of the Rock andRoll Hall of Fame, first per-formed together at thehall’s 25th-anniversaryconcerts in 2009. Theyfound that they had amaz-ing chemistry together.

That chemistry prompt-

ed them to go into the stu-dio together, but the con-cept for the album startedas a work that was thebrainchild of Reed, basedon the Lulu plays (EarthSpirit and Pandora’s Box)written by FrankWedekind.

“This was the templatefrom God,” Reed explainedin an interview last weekwith Hetfield and Lars Ul-rich.

“It was written for a playin Berlin, for the Berlin En-semble Theatre. It wasdone there as a soundscapesurrounded by variouselectronics. I lifted thewhole thing, since it ismine, and brought it over

to them and turned themloose on it so that on top ofthe electronics, (it) becameMetallica.”

Ulrich said most of thealbum was recorded infour days.

“We had no idea whathit us, so it was a lot aboutjust being in the momentand playing with each oth-er and giving the impulsivi-ty a chance to be thepredominant thing insteadof thinking,” the Metallicadrummer said. “It was amore physical experiencethan a mental experience.”

So far, reviews havebeen mixed. But Reed, in-ducted into the Rock Hallas part of the Velvet Under-ground, insists that hedoesn’t care what the crit-ics say.

“I wouldn’t care what acritic said about anything,including a hamburgerjoint. There is no species ofpeople I have less respectfor.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Time for Avril to Let Go?Avril Lavigne experiencing dwindling Canadian crowds, sales

Avril Lavigne arrives on the red carpet during the 2011

MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto in June.

CHRIS YOUNG/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Midway through a sparselyattended arena gig inToronto last week, AvrilLavigne paused betweensongs to express her joy atplaying “so close to home,”in her “beautiful” nativecountry.

She had just finishedsinging Alice, and it was thefirst time in the eveningshe unleashed the full pow-er of her vocal instrument,allowing her voice to billowand soar into every cornerof the Air Canada Centre.

And it couldn’t havebeen easy to fill all thatempty space.

See, it’s not just theCanadian weather thatmight have felt chilly toLavigne, who grew up inNapanee, Ont., but movedto Los Angeles years ago. Tohear her tell it, this cross-country trek was a tri-umphant homecoming, thefirst since her latest album

dropped in March, sowhere were the adoringcrowds to cheer her on?

A reported audience of6,800 fans showed up toher gig at the Air CanadaCentre, which can hold15,800 fans for a concert.Her shows across the coun-try reported similarly ane-mic turnouts, while thereviews varied from tepidto scathing — a representa-tive notice from one news-paper compared her lifelessperformance to that of azombie.

And considering thatLavigne’s latest — GoodbyeLullaby — has failed to gen-erate a fraction of the inter-est as her previous disc,there’s no shortage of spec-ulation that the pop-punkprincess’s reign could becoming to an end.

“She’s having a difficulttime making the transitionfrom being a skater girl to

being a 27-year-oldwoman,” said Alan Cross,Metro Canada columnistand host of the syndicatedradio show The Secret His-tory of Rock. “It’s verytough to grow with your au-dience. ... The next year isgoing to be very importantif she’s going to be able tomake the transition.

“I mean, she’s far fromdead. But it may take a littletime for the new Avril totake root.”

And at this point, it’s notexactly clear who the newAvril is.

She burst onto the sceneless than a decade ago with2002’s hit-laden Let Go, pro-viding a so-called edgy alter-native to the dolled-up popstrumpets who were shift-ing the bar of good tasteever-lower and climbingever-higher on the charts inthe process (Lavigne’s firstalbum arrived in the one-year period between twovideo hallmarks for lowest-common-denominator poppandering: Britney Spears’I’m a Slave 4 U and Christi-na Aguilera’s Dirrty.)

A then-17-year-old Lavi-gne had a stylistic hook(ties and tank-tops), astrong voice and a bundleof super-catchy pop tunesstained by just a speck ofpunk grime — Ramona imi-tating the Ramones.

After Let Go, Avril’s nexttwo albums — 2004’s Un-der My Skin and 2007’s TheBest Damn Thing —

brought diminishing re-turns commercially but stillwent platinum a combinedseven times over in Canada.

And that, perhaps, iswhen Lavigne’s career start-ed to slide. There was alengthy four-year break be-tween albums, during

which time Lavigne di-vorced husband (and Sum41 frontman) Deryck Whib-ley and changed her man-agement, switching fromVancouver-based Nettwerkto a representation basedcloser to home in L.A.THE CANADIAN PRESS

James Cameron took his“2.99-D” version of Titanicout into open water Fri-day.

The director of the Os-car-winning 1997 film andproducer Jon Landau pre-viewed 18 minutes of as-sorted footage that hasbeen converted into 3D fornext year’s rerelease of thefilm.

The mastermind behindAvatar joked that it wasn’tfully 3D because Titanicwasn’t filmed in 3D.

He was quick to note,though, that most otherconverted 3D films arejust “2.4-D.”

“I think it looks spectac-ular,” said Cameron. “If Ihad 3D cameras at thetime and there had been3D theatres at the time, Icertainly would have shotit in 3D.

It’s also just a way ofreinventing the concept ofa rerelease and gettingpeople to come back totheatres and commit thatthree hours and 15 min-utes to go through the ex-perience again.”

The footage shown dur-ing the invite-only presen-tation at ParamountStudios included eight

scenes, spanning fromKate Winslet’s well-to-doRose looking up at the Ti-tanic for the first time tothe moment when thestern dramatically plungesinto the sea at a 90-degreeangle, as well as the iconicscene of Rose and Leonar-do DiCaprio’s drifter Jackembracing on the bow.

In the scenes previewedFriday, the 3D footageshowcased the conver-sion’s visual reinvigora-tion of the existingmaterial, especially duringmoments involving depth,such as a car being slowlyhoisted onto the deck ofthe ship or Jack anxiouslyawaiting Rose at the bot-tom of a grand staircaseamid a series of columnsthat seemingly jut out ofthe screen.

Cameron said that Di-Caprio and Winslet haveyet to see the 3D footageof Titanic, but he has spo-ken with Winslet aboutthe project, and she is “onboard.”

He hasn’t talked to Di-Caprio about the rereleasebecause he’s been busyshooting The Great Gatsbyin Australia but he hopesto reconnect with the J.Edgar star soon.

“We’d love to havethem involved to the ex-tent that I think peopleare curious about whattheir journey has beensince Titanic,” Cameronsaid.

“I think Titanic cast avery long shadow over thecareers of two extremelybrilliant young actors whohad to spend a lot of timekind of reminding peoplethey weren’t Jack and Roseover the next few years.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Superstar author Jeffrey Eu-genides is getting weary ofquestions about whetherhis new book, The MarriagePlot, is autobiographical.

“It’s incredibly fatiguing.It happens with every nov-

el, no matter whatyou writeabout,” the 51-year-old said dur-

ing an interviewthis week.

Eugenidesburst

ontothe

scene in 1993 with his ac-claimed debut The VirginSuicides, which was latermade into a much-dis-cussed film by Sofia Cop-pola. His next novel,2002’s Middlesex, vault-ed him into the literarystratosphere. A stun-ningly imaginativeand expansive taleabout a male her-maphrodite, the bookwon the Pulitzer Prize,was chosen as an Oprah se-lection and had legions ofreaders clamouring to seewhat the rock-star writer

would do next.They

had to

wait nine years to find out,but were rewarded this

month with Eu-genides’ latest

novel,TheMar-

riagePlot, which fol-

lows a love triangle be-tween English majorMadeleine and two fellowmale students at Brown

University (the au-thor’s alma

mater) in theearly1980s.

In the

beleaguered world of pub-lishing, the book’s releasewas a joyous event. A bill-board of Eugenides went upin Times Square. A launchparty in New York City at-tracted literary heavy-weights Jonathan Franzen,Martin Amis and ZadieSmith.

The Marriage Plot wassoon lauded as another

highly erudite, yeteminently readable

offering fromEu-

genides.Still,much ofthe me-dia cov-eragehasbeen

pre-oc-

cupied with whether it isautobiographical.

Did Eugenides base thecharacter of Mitchell Gram-maticus on himself (bothare from Detroit and ofGreek descent)? Does theBrown setting reflect theauthor’s time at the school?And is the character ofmanic-depressive biologistLeonard Bankhead basedon the late author David

Foster Wallace (withwhom Eugenides had a

passing acquain-tance)?

Eugenides, an in-structor at PrincetonUniversity, can’tseem to escape the

speculation.“Last time I wrote

about someone whowas intersex and I would

still get the autobiographi-cal question even thoughit’s obviously about asimaginative a leap as I canmake,” said the

author, who lives in NewJersey with his wife anddaughter.

“Now, I’m getting itagain. You get it with every-thing you write. That’s howpeople read. We all do it toa certain extent.

“But people need to un-derstand that you obviouslydraw from your life in orderto write a novel, so thereare going to be many thingsthat resemble the writer’sexperience. But what hap-pens in a novel is very dif-ferent than what happensin a writer’s life.”THE CANADIANPRESS

Hurry up and write

During his media rounds,Eugenides has also facedrepeated questions aboutthe extended period oftime it takes him to writeeach book.The author says he canusually tell after about 150pages whether he wants tomove forward with a newproject.

The kernel of TheMarriage Plot, he said,came about when he wastaking a break from Mid-dlesex in the late 1990sand began writing a storyabout a débutante party.He abandoned that manu-script, but the character ofMadeleine stuck with him,eventually jumping intothe pages that would be-come The Marriage Plot.

Dave Bidini is the author of Writing Gordon Lightfoot.

FRANK GUNN/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Protecting Lightfoot’s legacy?Rocker Dave Bidini writes book about Gordon Lightfoot without his involvement

As soon as Dave Bidini putthe word out that he waswriting a book about Gor-don Lightfoot, the storiesstarted to pour in.

Bidini, the former Rheo-statics singer, has plenty offriends in rock ’n’ roll, andthey had plenty of tangledyarns to spin about the 72-year-old Canuck singer forWriting Gordon Lightfoot.

Some were flattering, butmost were definitely not.

“People would be like: ‘Ihave a great Lightfoot story,’and it would inevitably turnout to be a horrible Light-foot story,” Bidini said inan interview last weekat a Toronto café.

“There’s a book thatcould come out for surethat would just be aboutthat, just be about him be-ing a mean drunk and a badhusband ... But if you puttoo many episodes in abook like that, that’s allpeople are going to takeaway from it, and I wantedpeople to come away with afuller impression of who

the person was, about thislife lived in Canadian music.

“And actually one of thethings I say in the book is Isort of approach Gord and Isay: ‘I hope you’re gratefulthat it’s me writing thebook and not some muck-

raking

journalist.’”That Bidini wanted

to protect Lightfoot’s legacy— or at least his dignity —might imply some sort offriendly relationship be-tween the two Canadianrockers.

But in fact, Bidini saysthat Lightfoot refused to beinterviewed for the bookdespite his persistent re-quests.

In the text, Bidini offers acouple of theories for Light-foot’s non-participation.Years ago, the Rheostaticscovered The Wreck of theEdmund Fitzgerald, and Bi-dini and his bandmatesthought the Orillia, Ont.,

country-folk leg-

end might have liked theirversion.

So they directed it toLightfoot’s manager at thetime, Barry Harvey, who hassince died. Bidini remem-bers Harvey telling himthat he wouldn’t give thesong to Lightfoot be-cause it would just an-noy the singer. Thegroup was disappoint-ed, and some time lat-er, Bidini slightedLightfoot in an inter-view, suggestingthat the Canuckicon had swipedthe melody forFitzgerald froman old Irish folktune (Bidini him-self heard thisrumour at a pubin Cork, Ireland).Harvey asked fora retraction andBidini agreed,but says thatonce the com-ments had hitthe In-ter-net,it

was too late.So, the two artists

weren’t exactlyfriends. Still, Bidinibelieves the pri-mary reason Light-foot didn’t want toparticipate in thebook is that the songwritingstalwart simply has no inter-est in revisiting the still-ten-der wounds of his past.

And Writing GordonLightfoot does zero in on aparticularly difficult period

in his career.

The book is structuredaround the events of

one week in July 1972,when some of thebiggest names inmusic — includ-ing Bob Dylan,

Neil Young, JoniMitchell and, yes,

Lightfoot — de-scended on tiny Toronto Is-land to make surpriseappearances at the Mari-posa Folk Festival.

At the time, the booksays, Lightfoot had beenforced to curtail his tour-ing schedule due to

Bell’s palsy,which had tem-porarily left hisface partiallypara-

lyzed, his first marriage wascrumbling (he would di-vorce in ’73), and he wasdating Cathy Smith — thesame woman who wouldlater serve time in a Califor-nia prison for injecting ac-tor John Belushi with a fataldose of heroin and cocainein 1982. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Pattinson, shall we? While promoting Break-

ing Dawn: Part 1 at a pressconference over the week-end, Pattinson speculatedthat he and costar/girl-friend Kristen Stewart mayalready be married.

“The wedding scene'sfunny because we used a re-al priest,” the actor said, ac-

cording toUsMagazine.com.

“So technically we are al-ready married because hedid all the things you woulddo in a normal ceremony.So we don’t have a civilunion in law, but I guess inthe church we are actuallymarried.”

We suspect the churchwouldn’t agree, but thenagain, it’s not really our go-to marriage dictionarythese days. If someone unit-ed Heidi Montag andSpencer Pratt in holy-hellmatrimony, no doubtthey’d sign off on this one. TODAY’S THE WORD WAS WRITTEN BYMONICA WEYMOUTH

Will Halloween play a trick onyour kids’ health? Dental hygiene is key concern.

Sweet choices

Offer apples to trick-or-treaters and risk havingyour house get egged —maybe even by your ownkids.

But dentists and dieti-tians say you can stillmake Halloween reason-ably healthy for little dev-ils and witches withoutresorting to dracul-oniantactics, like no candy.

“This is such a big ad-venture for them — letthem have it, obviouslywith some caveats,” saidDr. Rhea Haugseth, a den-tist in Marietta, Ga., who’spresident of the AmericanAcademy of Pediatric Den-tistry.

Haugseth also suggestsavoiding cavity-promotingtreats like caramels thatstick to the teeth, or lol-lipops that bathe teeth in along sugary bath.

Also, having kids brushtheir teeth before trick-or-treating to helps reduceplaque and bacteria, whichinteract with sugar to pro-duce tooth-decaying acid,Haugseth said. Kids shouldalso brush right after eat-ing candy, she said.

Just don’t go overboardon restrictions, says ColeRobbins, a Chicago 12-year-old and Halloweenveteran. “Halloween is theone day of the year where

we kids just kind of breakout and overload on can-dy,” he said.

To help prevent thatkind of gorging, try to givechildren a healthy, fillingmeal before trick-or-treating, says BethanyThayer, a spokeswomanfor the American DieteticAssociation who works atthe Henry Ford Health Sys-tem in Detroit.

Ronni Litz Julien, a Mia-mi nutritionist whose pa-tients include overweightand obese kids, says anoth-er trick for parents is tohelp sort through the loot,have kids select their 10favourite pieces, and give

the rest away. Offer thechoice of eating all 10pieces at once, or over 10days. That gives them asense of control, withoutfeeling shortchanged, shesaid.

“You can’t deprivethem. It’s Halloween, forGod’s sake,” she said.

President Barack Oba-ma joked last week on TheTonight Show that he’dwarned his health-promot-ing wife that the WhiteHouse would get egged ifshe gave trick-or-treatersfresh fruit and raisins in-stead of candy.

Dr. Janet Silverstein, aGainesville, Fla. pediatri-

cian and member of theAmerican Academy of Pe-diatrics’ nutrition commit-tee, says she doesn’t giveout candy, offering fruit orpencils instead; so far herhouse is unscathed.

When her own childrenwere young, Silversteinwould buy their candy fora nickel a piece. She rec-ommends that to her pa-tients’ parents, too.Though she doesn’t offerher other solution — sheused to eat her kids’ candy.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dark chocolate

Try bribing your kids with anew toy in exchange forthe Halloween loot — or atleast some of it.Wait

Ask your kids not to dip in-to their loot bags untilthey bring the entire stashhome. This trick ensuresboth safety so you can tossany suspicious-lookingcandy, but it also preventsan “eating frenzy” — andthe stomach aches.

Dentists and dieticians say you can make Halloween reasonably healthy for kids without resorting to tactics like no candy.

Soy beans. Food, fuel …furniture?

This past weekend, atthe International HomeShow in Toronto, theGrain Farmers of Ontariopresented a special displayof furniture and otherhome decor items — thekey ingredient of which isleftover grains.

“We have furnituremade from soy-basedfoam,” says Meghan Burke,GFO communications co-ordinator. “It’s called Bio-Plush foam. We also havecarpeting made from cornoil, and soy-based paint onthe walls. We have a coun-tertop made of corn. Any-thing you can think of,really, made from corn or

soy beans.”The furniture — includ-

ing big, cushy recliningchairs — still has all theusual wood or metal com-ponents. But the foam inthe cushions is somethingaltogether new.

“It’s very nice and verycomfortable,” she ex-

plains. “What we’re basi-cally doing is replacing thepetroleum-oil portion witha soy-based oil. So it’s justlike any other foam, but ishas no off-gassing, no aller-gens, it’s renewable, it’sdecomposable, it’s reallyhealthy for your environ-ment.”

It’s a pure case of needmeets opportunity. Agri-cultural organizationsacross Canada are alwayslooking for new markets,and there’s a rising con-sumer demand for cleaner,greener products.

“We want to educatepeople about the options

they have for theirhomes,” says Burke. “Peo-ple are looking for green-er, sustainable, healthyoptions for their homes.And with that trend grow-ing and growing, morecompanies are picking thisup. We have quite a list ofsuppliers that have givenus products for the exhib-it.”

And while the GFO’s ef-forts are primarily an On-tario initiative, building anew market for theprovince’s 28,000 corn,wheat and soy bean farm-

ers, these special grain-based products are gainingin popularity, and becom-ing available throughoutCanada.

“The carpeting you canbuy at Home Depot, oranywhere you can buy acarpet. The paint is Sher-wyn-Williams. All thesethings are fairly commonat your typical homestores.”

The deeper message?Canada’s bountiful grainharvests can solve a lotmore problems thanhunger and fuel efficiency.

“There are opportuni-ties for your home that areenvironmentally friendly,and they are great alterna-tives to your petroleum-based products.”

When itcomes toplanning theend, thereare greener

ways to go. You visited one of only

two cemeteries in Canadawith designated greensites; the Union Cemeteryin Cobourg, Ont., and Roy-al Oak Burial Park in Victo-ria, B.C.

At both, you can returnto the Earth naturally witha green burial.

Green burials are low-impact, use less energy,consume fewer resources(like water), are less toxic,and may include local, sus-tainable materials.

Bodies are not em-balmed because that de-lays decomposition.

Without formaldehydeto preserve the body, toxicchemicals are avoided, re-ducing harmful exposureboth to nature and the em

balmer. Instead, bodiesare wrapped in abiodegradable shroud or

placed in a biodegradablecasket. And protectedgreen space becomes thefinal resting place. To learnmore, check out the Natu-ral Burial Association’swebsite. (naturalburialassoc.ca) Although only twocemeteries can performgreen burials in Canada,green funerals are increas-ing in popularity. A greenfuneral means funeralhomes aim to maximizeenvironmentally friendlyfuneral practices.

I recently attended a funeral in Cobourg, Ont., where the cemeteryconducts natural burials. What exactly makes a burial natural orgreen? Tamara of Toronto, ON

Crying Over roadblocks is not his wayFormer Platinum Blonde rocker Sergio Galli has overcome life’s hurdles with a Doesn’t Really Matter attitude

He’s an inter-national rockstar, designer,architect andbuilder. Withso much suc-cess, youwould expect

Sergio Galli would wear hisaccomplishments like abadge of honour. But hedoesn’t. Sergio is a down toearth, humble man with asimple message for us all:accept life’s turning pointsand when things get tough,

move on. “I get over discourage-

ment in life because I knowit’s temporary. Some peoplethink it’s forever. I say,‘Why waste your time? Getover it’.”

Sergio was 18 when hestarted his own businessbuilding and renting P.A.systems for bands.

He ran into MarkHolmes who was looking toput together a new band.Sergio played guitar, Mark

found a drummer and with-in six months Galli and theband hit it big. PlatinumBlonde went on to becomeone of the top glam-bandsof the ’80s.

Hits like Crying Over Youand Situation Critical rock-eted to the top of thecharts.

As Galli and the boyswould roll through thegreat cities of Europe, hewould make the limo driv-ers stop in front of uniquebuildings that caught his at-tention.

“I was so into architec-ture. They used to rib mebut they thought it wasneat someone could be intosomething other than mu-sic.”

Seven years passed andthe band realized they wereburnt out and needed abreak. Galli wanted to goback to school but wasturned down at every Uni-versity he applied to. Sergio“got over it”, bought a cou-ple of properties and beganbuilding. His work becamenoticed in the industry andsoon he was building multi-

million dollar homes. Nowhe has teamed with TheSerena Group to build af-fordable, luxurious villas.Galli is living life on histerms.

Platinum Blonde recent-ly got back together and de-cided 20 years was enoughof a break. Sergio and Plat-inum Blonde are currentlyin the recording studio andare hoping to start touringagain next summer.

“You have to enjoy thejourney along the way.Nothing happensovernight. Remember tohave fun and if you do thensuccess will come.”

There arevery few com-panies outthere that canboast billiondollar salesfigures. Nowreview that

list against companies thathave hit that revenue mile-stone in less than 10 yearsand you come up with a farshorter list which includesa company called Zappos,the world’s friendliest (andbiggest) online shoe retail-er.

According to Joseph A.Michelli, author of The Zap-pos Experience, Zappos be-came a billion dollarcompany by creating akiller customer service ap-proach and at the same

time developed a work cul-ture where “being a littleweird is part of the core val-ues” of the company. For-mer COO and CFO AlfredLin comments that the Zap-pos Experience is “aboutgetting the culture right sowe can treat the customerright.” This approach hasclearly paid off with thecompany named by J.D.Powers and Associates as a2011 Customer ServiceChampion.

The concept of Zapposwas born due to a frustrat-ed consumer. Nick Swin-murn couldn’t find acertain size shoe which

prompted him to considerif an online strategy couldbe used to solve this dilem-ma. From that he createdShoeSite.com. Recognizingthe need for capital, Swin-murn approached TonyHsieh & Alfred Lin of Invest-ment firm Venture Frogswith his idea. Even in the1999 boom of the Dot Comera one would have ques-tioned the concept. Afterall, “Who would buy shoesat an Internet Store with-out trying them on?” al-ludes Michelli.

Michelli’s book looks atthe five principles that hefound to be the foundationof Zappos’ success. If you’relooking at how to assessand improve your customerservice approach, The Zap-pos Experience serves theperfect fit. CRAIG LUND, IS THE PRESIDENT OFMARKETING SERVICES FIRM MAR-KETING TALENT INC.

‘Tis the season for dropoutsAs tens of thousands ofCanadian university stu-dents hit the books for mid-term exams, schools arelooking ahead to keepthose who tank from drop-ping out.

All it takes is a few badgrades to crush some stu-dents — particularly fresh-men — and derail theiruniversity education, someexperts say.

“Once people do badly,they don't want to be inschool anymore,” said ToddStinebrickner, a professorat the University of West-ern Ontario who has stud-ied the reasons universitystudents choose to pack itall in.

“When people do badly... school is not very enjoy-able, maybe it's more stress-ful.”

His research suggestsabout 40 per cent of stu-dents who drop out of uni-versity do so because

they’re not performing aswell as they expected.

That’s largely becausethey’re not prepared for theheavier workload and inde-pendent study time, hesaid.

“That sort of says, well,things have to be a little bitdifferent at earlier stages (of

education),” he says.“Whether it’s more effortin high school or whetherit’s changes in the qualityof schools at earlier ages,that’s sort of an open ques-tion.”

Most students stick it outpast the first year — in On-tario, the province with the

most universities, retentionrates remain between 80and 90 per cent for the ma-jority of schools.

But educators aren't tak-ing any chances.

Many have an arsenal ofprograms aimed at so-called “Christmas gradu-ates,” those who simplydrop off the roster afterwinter break, as well as stu-dents who fall through thecracks in later years, saidRichard Wiggers, directorof research on student serv-ices for the Higher Educa-tion Quality Council ofOntario.

Some reach out to stu-dents and their families be-fore the fall semester startsin an effort to ease the tran-sition from high school.

The reasons for calling itquits can range from home-sickness to depression andlearning disabilities tomoney troubles.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Universities are stepping in to keep ‘Christmas graduates’ from bailing

It’s likely that there are resources at your school that can

Power-play goals from Ottawa’s Neil and Greening pace young club’s winMacArthur’s pair not enough for Toronto in battle of provincial rivals

Sens keep on rolling

Leafs goalie Jonas Gustavsson and defenceman Dion Phaneuf battle for position

with Senators Chris Neil, #25, and Nick Foligno in Ottawa last night.

JARED WICKERHAM/GETTY IMAGES

Kaspars Daugavins’ first ca-reer goal stood as the win-ner as the Ottawa Senatorswon their sixth straightgame, 3-2 over the rivalToronto Maple Leafs lastnight.

Colin Greening andChris Neil added power-play goals for the Senators(7-5-0).

Robin Lehner made hisfirst start of the year afterbeing called up from Bing-hamton of the AmericanHockey League earlier inthe weekend and made 23saves.

Clarke MacArthur scoredboth goals for the MapleLeafs (7-3-1), the first com-

ing on the power play.Mikhail Grabovski andNikolai Kulemin providedthe assists both times.

Jonas Gustavsson made27 saves in taking the loss.

The Senators beat theMaple Leafs for the firsttime this season following a6-5 loss in Toronto earlierthis year.

Heading into the thirdperiod with a 2-1 lead, Sena-tors forward Zach Smithstole the puck fromMatthew Lombardi just in-side the Leafs line anddished it off to Daugavins,who scored with a longshot that beat Gustavssonat 7:08.

MacArthur respondedless than two minutes laterto pull the Leafs to within agoal. Shortly after the Leafswent on a power play asDaugavins was called for

hooking, but they failed onthat opportunity and could-n’t beat Lehner the rest ofthe way.

MacArthur opened thescoring 11 minutes into thefirst period as Senators de-fenceman Erik Karlsson satin the penalty box for slash-ing.

Greening tied the game alittle less than five minuteslater on the power play, asthe first period ended in a1-1 tie.

Neil tipped a point shotfrom Karlsson past Gustavs-son, again on the powerplay, for the only goal of thesecond period.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Fitzpatrickleads Billsto victoryin Toronto

Ryan Fitzpatrick showedyesterday why the BuffaloBills felt he was worth $59million US.

Fitzpatrick threw twoTD strikes to ScottChandler as Buffalo beatthe Washington Redskins23-0 for its first regular-sea-son win of the Bills TorontoSeries.

The resurgent Bills (5-2)improved to 3-3 in Torontobut are just 1-3 in regular-season contests.

Buffalo hasn’t made theNFL playoffs since 1999 butlast week signedFitzpatrick to a $59-million,six-year contract extension.The deal includes $24 mil-lion guaranteed and makesFitzpatrick the highest-paidplayer in club history.

Not bad for a Harvardgrad and ’05 seventh-roundpick who spent his firstfour NFL seasons with St.Louis and Cincinnati beforelanding in Buffalo in 2009.Fitzpatrick, 28, hasflourished with the Bills,going 9-5 in his last 14games.

Yesterday’s contest wasthe sixth of eight Buffalowill play here through nextseason as part of the series.The attendance was 51,579,meaning none of thegames have been a selloutat Rogers Centre, whichseats 54,000 for football.

For the first time in theseries fans were vocally proBills, actually giving Buffalothe feel of home-fieldadvantage. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Rams play like champsNothing in the St. LouisRams’ first six games indi-cated they were capable ofeven keeping this one close.

Maybe the cross-townCardinals’ pre-game ap-pearance with the WorldSeries trophy inspired themto pull off a shocker of theirown. A few choice wordsfrom their star playerhelped, too.

Running back StevenJackson awoke in the mid-dle of the night on gameday, deciding he’d tell team-mates enough was enoughand that no way the Ramswere this awful. Then heled by example with two

touchdowns in his first 100-yard game in three seasons,helping St. Louis earn itsfirst win with a 31-21 upsetof the New Orleans Saintsyesterday.

“I think the Cardinals be-ing here was great for the

city,” Jackson said. “Whoev-er showed up today, regard-less if the place was empty,today was the day.

“We came out with amindset we were going tofight.”

Drew Brees’s only touch-down pass was on a mean-ingless score in the finalseconds a week after throw-ing five in a 62-7 rout of theIndianapolis Colts. Breeswas intercepted twice, too,with Darian Stewart’s pickand 27-yard return puttingthe game away with 2:51 togo.

“As you look at the cardi-nal sins of football, we com-

mitted quite a few of thosetoday,” Brees said, no punintended. “Obviously, wegave them a lot of momen-tum.”

The NFC South-leadingSaints (5-3) average aleague-best 35 points, butnever got on track against adefence ranked near thebottom of the league. TheRams (1-6) had a season-high six sacks after enter-ing the game with just 11.

“We always thought wehad that in us,” coach SteveSpagnuolo said. “It was awonderful weekend for St.Louis fans.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
