OTTAWA

Fabien Kalala Shambuyi will final-ly get to celebrate Christmas prop-erly now that he is safe and soundwith his family in Ottawa.

Family of the 26-year-old Uni-versity of Ottawa student barelylet him pass through the arrivalsdoor at the Ottawa InternationalAirport Monday evening beforethey smothered him with hugs andkisses.

His arrival was an emotionalone after spending 10 days in aDemocratic Republic of Congoprison for insulting a Congolesepolice chief. He had been volun-teering as a security guard foropposition leader Etienne Tshiseke-di during the country’s contentiouselections when he was arrestedDec. 21 at the Kinshasa airport.

Released Dec. 31, Shambuyi hadto wait until last week to get hispassport from Canadian officialsin the country.

Shambuyi’s mother, MarieTherese Kapinga, was last to arriveat the airport to welcome himhome. When she saw him, shebroke down into tears and huggedhim several times.

“I feel very, very, very goodbecause I see my son,” said Kapin-ga. “I was afraid. I didn’t know

when I was going to see him again.” Shambuyi read a prepared state-

ment after arriving, thanking theCanadian government, Ottawa’sCongolese community, his family,and media for helping.

“I’m just overjoyed to be backhere and I’m very content to behere,” he said. “You cannot imag-ine how precious is respect ofhuman rights in Canada.”

He said he would speak on a lat-er date to explain what happenedto him in Congo. Monday night hesaid all he wanted was to be withfamily.

Fabien Kalala Shambuyi hugs his emotional mother, Marie Therese

Kapinga, after arriving at the Ottawa International Airport Monday evening.

City councillors send somany rider complaints toOC Transpo that it takesthe equivalent of one full-time staff member to an-swer them all, citydocuments reveal.

Despite the year’s salaryspent on the task, ridersare getting fed up withgeneric Pollyannaishreplies to legitimategripes, councillors say.

“They always try tospin it positive,” Coun.Marianne Wilkinson said.“I just want them to bemuch more open and nottry to fudge around withit, because people get

frustrated.”The frustration was evi-

dent in a document at-tached to this week’sTransit Commission agen-da. It says councillors for-warded 3,000 emails orcalls from the public to OCTranspo last year, and thetime spent responding tothem was equal to a full-time employee’s schedule.

Transit Commissionchair Diane Deans said the3,000 complaints are“from constituents thatare expressing concernsabout a particular OCTranspo issue,” and it isstandard practice for

councillors to send themto OC Transpo staff to getthe information they needto reply.

Those are on top ofcomplaints delivered di-rectly to OC Transpo fromriders. Deans said the rea-son there are so many isthat OC Transpo servesabout 200,000 people aday.

“That’s a lot of contactwith the public,” she said.

Wilkinson has forward-ed many complaints andsaid the replies don’t al-ways address what wasasked.

For example, OC Trans-

po staff will write aboutroute optimization insteadof telling a rider why theirbus didn’t come or is al-ways late, she said.

“They could take it a

little more seriously,”Wilkinson said. “They seeso many of them; theyforget each one is an indi-vidual.”

Police suspect arson in afire that erupted at Bar-barella’s Cabaret — adowntown strip club — onMonday morning.

“We are treating thisfire as a suspicious fire andit is currently under inves-tigation by the Ottawa po-lice arson unit,” said MarcMessier, Ottawa Fire Serv-ices spokesman. “Crewsfound some evidence atthe scene that led them togo in that direction.”

When crews arrived,they had to extinguish theremainder of a small firein the front lobby, Messiersaid. “The building has a

built-in sprinkler system,so the sprinkler systemhad taken care of most ofthe fire,” he said.

The blaze caused about$150,000 in damages,mostly water damage fromthe sprinklers, Messiersaid.

On Monday morning,the damage to the lobbycould be seen through ashattered glass door.Messier could not confirmwhether that was causedby crews fighting the fireor by an arsonist.

Police said someonewas arrested at the sceneof the fire a few hours af-ter it broke out, but theybelieve that person did nothave anything to do withsetting the blaze.

Police could not confirm whether the smashed front door of Barbarella’s Cabaretwas caused by fire-fightingcrews or by an arsonist.

Toronto Mayor Rob Fordhas turned his battleof the bulgeinto an inter-nationalthrowdown.

In a tweetannouncingthe challenge,he singled outCalgary

Mayor Naheed Nenshi,Vancouver Mayor GregorRobertson and HalifaxMayor Peter Kelly, as wellas New York City’sMichael Bloomberg andChicago’s Rahm Emanuel.

Dubbed the Cut TheWaist Challenge, the cam-

paign aims to encour-age the

publicto em-brace

a healthier lifestyle, saidthe mayor, who hopes tolose 50 pounds by June 18.

It’s unclear how manyof Ford’s peers will takehim up on the challenge,given that some are al-ready known for theirhealthy habits and leanphysique.

“Mayor Bloomberg exer-cises daily and very avidlywatches what he eats —two reasons why he’s aboutas thin as he was in college50 years ago and not at alloverweight,” Bloomberg’s

spokesman, Stu Loeser,said in an email.

“Though this plansounds like a great idea, itdoesn’t really apply to ourmayor,” he added.

Emanuel, a triathletewho logs daily workoutsand carries a water bottlewherever he goes, may nothave much to lose either.

Meanwhile, Robertson’swebsite describes him as“a dedicated cyclist.”

Ford said he hatched hisweight-loss plan over theholidays. “It’s the heaviest

I’ve ever been,” the mayorsaid. “I’ve got young chil-dren. This is not healthy.You can’t be running thecity, you can’t be doing allthis at 330 pounds.”

The mayor said his

weight-loss plan will bebased on “common sense”— more exercise and lessfood. THECANADIANPRESS

Peter KellyHalifax Mayor Peter

Kelly, at five-foot-11, is roughly half

the weight ofToronto Mayor Rob

Ford. “Since, over thepast few years, I’ve al-ready lost over 30pounds, I don’t need tolose any more, and if Idid you wouldn’t beable to see me,” Kellysaid. Kelly politely de-clined the personalchallenge, but said hewould accept acommunity challenge.

In a statement Monday, Vancouver Mayor

Gregor Robertson said he was “very supportive of

efforts by other mayors to take a leadership role in

FAST APPROACHING!EARLY BIRD DEADLINE

Britain’s deputy primeminister accused Israel onMonday of carrying out“deliberate vandalism” bycontinuing to build settle-ments on land the Pales-tinians hope will form partof a future state.

In an escalation ofBritain’s previous condem-nations of Israeli construc-tion, Nick Clegg warnedthat continued settlementbuilding is jeopardizingprospects for a peace deal.

“Once you’ve placedphysical facts on theground that makes it im-possible to deliver some-thing that everyone has foryears agreed is the ulti-mate destination.... It is an

act of de-liberatevandal-ism tothe basicpremiseon whichnegotia-tionshave tak-en place

for years and years andyears,” Clegg said, refer-ring to settlement con-struction.

Clegg was speakingalongside Palestinian Presi-dent Mahmoud Abbas,who also was holding talksin London with Prime Min-ister David Cameron andForeign Secretary William

Hague — both of whomhave previously expressedconcern about settle-ments.

“The continued exis-tence of illegal settlementsrisks making facts on theground such that a two-state solution becomes un-viable,” Clegg said.

He said that continuedconstruction would “donothing to safeguard thesecurity of Israel itself, orof Israeli citizens.”

“This is exactly what wewanted to hear officiallyfrom the government ofthe United Kingdom,” Ab-bas told reporters, speak-ing through a translator.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Romney rivaldrops out PRIMARY. U.S. presidentialcandidate Mitt Romneystood alone Monday at thetop of the field of Republi-can candidates in thisweek’s primary ballotingin South Carolina, wherethree of his more conser-vative challengers aresplitting the powerfulblock of evangelical andsocial-conservative voters.

Former Utah governorJon Huntsman, by far themost moderateRepublican candidate vy-ing for the nomination toface President Barack Oba-ma in November, droppedout of the race Monday

and endorsed Romney.That leaves just five

men in the competitionheading into South Caroli-na’s critical Saturday vote,and a Romney victorylikely would make hisnomination inevitable.

Romney previously wasfirst in Iowa caucusvoting, then in the NewHampshire primarypolling last week.

While a majority of Re-publicans don’t trustRomney because of hismoderate past, they havebeen unable to settle theirsupport on the more con-servative alternatives:Newt Gingrich, formerspeaker of the House ofRepresentatives; Rick San-torum, a former Pennsyl-vania senator; and TexasGov. Rick Perry.

One of the biggest trials inCanadian corporate historygot underway Monday,with the Crown prosecutorbeginning to lay out hiscase against three formerNortel Networks executivesaccused of falsifying finan-cial reports.

Former chief executiveFrank Dunn, former chieffinancial officer DouglasBeatty and former corpo-rate controller Michael Gol-logly each entered notguilty pleas to two chargesbefore the prosecutor be-

gan his opening state-ments.

Crown attorney RobertHubbard alleged the threemen worked together tofalsify Nortel’s records andstatements — to make itlook more profitable.

Hubbard said Nortel’s fi-nancial statements were in-correct in the first andsecond quarters of 2003.The prosecutor argued it isclear that the way Nortelrecorded its financial state-ments was not in accor-dance with general

accounting principles.“The only real question

is, did you know it at thetime?” Hubbard asked, ges-turing to the accused.

Hubbard said he aims toprove the men falsifiedstatements because bonus-es for senior executiveswere linked to consecutivequarters of profitability.

In order to trigger thosebonuses, the accused “hadto juggle accounting toachieve those results,” Hub-bard said.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Local tweetsFOUR WAYSTO DIVORCEJANUARY FROM ITS REPUTATION

Did you know that more cou-ples file for divorce in Januarythan at any other time of theyear? Disheartening as it is,January’s unfortunate notori-ety as Divorce Month certainly

makes sense. Couples on the brink ofbreaking up will fake it till they make itthrough the holidays, holding off until thenew year to seek legal separation.

Luckily, I don’t have much experiencewhen it comes to divorce (thanks Momand Dad). However, from the second-hand

knowledge I’ve collected over the years, I know that thereis never an easy time to say“I do” to divorce.

Sure, it might be a popu-lar time of year to makeyour failed marriage official,but there are plenty of lessdepressing milestonesworth celebrating. I say, let’stake back January from thefamily law firms and makeit a month dedicated tosomething other than irrec-oncilable differences.

Here are a fewalternatives I’m proposing:

Give a Big Tip Month: In January 1914, Henry Ford es-tablished a previously unheard-of $5.00 a day minimumwage in his automobile factories. Why not celebrate thismonth by giving generous tips to all of those hard-working servers, cab drivers, baristas and otherminimum-wage employees who make your life easier. Inother made-up-holiday news, January also happens to beNational Thank You Month, giving you another reason toshow some gratitude.

Act like a Grown-up Month: On the second Monday inJanuary, the Japanese celebrate Coming of Age Day inrecognition of young adults who have reached the age ofmajority. Take some inspiration from the Japanese and ho-nour your own maturity this month by wearing a properjacket in the cold, not using emoticons in work emailsand finally paying off your credit card bill.

Get Political Month: In January 1916, Manitoba becamethe first Canadian province to grant women the right tovote in provincial elections. Recognize this moment in his-tory by using the remaining days in January to learn moreabout Canadian politics. Stop forwarding S--t People Sayvideos to your friends and take some time to write to yourlocal MP about an issue you care about.

Read a Book Month: Remember books? Well, thismonth (today in fact) marks Benjamin Franklin’s 306thbirthday, and as the founder of America’s first lending li-brary, he would want you to put down your iPad, getoffline and become reacquainted with paperbacks. Ofcourse, let’s ignore the fact that I used Wikipedia toresearch all of these pieces of January-centric trivia.

Underworld: Awakeningsmarks Kate Beckinsale’sthird outing — after skip-ping the franchise’s last in-stallment — as ruthless,gun-toting vampire Selene,so the British actress hashad time to adjust to hercharacter’s temper. “I sup-pose it’s my second or thirdtime playing the character,so I’m used to the fact thatshe doesn’t hold back whenshe’s annoyed,” she says.

Annoyed is one way toput it. In the new film, Se-lene bites, shoots and stabsher way through countlesshuman and werewolf foeafter waking up from aforced 12-year hibernation.And after three films, Beck-insale is still amazed she’sdeveloped a reputation asan action star. “It’s so crazy,it’s absolutely mad. Andyou’d think I’d be moreused to it now,” she says.

So what would the Ox-ford-educated actress liketo be doing besides dis-patching bad guys? Makingpeople laugh. “I’m quitesmiley and jolly in real life,”she says. “I’d love to domore comedy. I don’t findvery many comedies where

I find the women’s partsare very funny. Bridesmaidswas so exciting becausethat doesn’t happen very of-ten.”

Of course, Kristen Wiigand her Bridesmaids crewhad to write those parts forthemselves. “Interestingly,they don’t have children,”Beckinsale says with alaugh. “I realize there’s alimit to the multitaskingthat I’m capable of. Thereare people who are muchmore capable of doing 20things, and I’m doing two

as well as I can. So I knowthat I’m moving into a verydifferent stage with mydaughter. She’s about to be13 this month, and whilstobviously you’re still theirmother, it’s in a slightly dif-ferent way than whenthey’re three years old. I’manticipating a little bitmore free time while she’son Facebook.”

At 38, Beckinsale is by nomeans old, but Hollywoodcan be a cruel place for ac-tresses. She acknowledgesthe industry’s double stan-

dard for women and menwhen it comes to maturity,but she’s ignoring it.“You’re talking to someonewho’s just spent the entireyear running about on awire,” she says. “For me, Ihaven’t been handed mycarpet slippers or experi-enced any career hot-flash-es yet. I’m sure I will, butthis hasn’t been it. So I’mable to live in my little bub-ble where I’m not about tobe 70 years old.”

In fact, when comparinghow she handled the stunt

work on the first Under-world film to Underworld:Awakenings, Beckinsalesays she’s actually gettingbetter with age. “I just feelbetter because I was such anovice then,” she says.“Whether I’ve lost energy,eggs, hope, bone density,whatever — fullness in mybreasts — I’m not aware ofthat as much as I am thefact that I’m more confi-dent in the stuff.”

It is verytempting to expose every-one’s feet of clay becausewe are so bombarded withvisuals of the perfectfemale and male form that Ithink it’s very oppressive topeople.

Sunday night’salright for fighting

Elton John andMadonna arein the middleof a huge feud— and honest-ly, I haven’tseen twoqueens go at it

this hard since RuPaul’sDrag Race.

It started Sunday nightat the Golden Globes,when both of the iconswere nominated againstone another in the catego-ry of Best Original Song ina Motion Picture.

Madonna was nominat-ed for Masterpiece in W.E.while Elton was tapped forHello Hello from Gnomeo& Juliet.

When asked by CarsonDaly on the red carpetabout the chances ofMadonna winning, EJquipped: “Madonna does-n’t have a (expletive)chance.”

“Those are fightingwords,” Daly told Elton,who replied, “No, thoseare actual words.”

Then, when Madonnaactually won, Elton’s part-ner, David Furnish, went

onto Facebook to vent hisfrustration.

“Madonna. Bestsong???? (Expletive) off !!!”

Not satisfied, he contin-ued his rant: “Madonnawinning Best OriginalSong truly shows howthese awards have nothingto do with merit. Her ac-ceptance speech was em-barrassing in itsnarcissism,” he wrote.

Madonna won’t fightdirty though (but, oh, howI wish she would fightdirty!), and backstage shewas the emblem of polite.

“I hope he speaks to me

for the next couple ofyears,” she said aboutJohn.

“He’s been known to getmad at me so I don’t know.He’s brilliant and I adorehim so he’ll win anotheraward. I don’t feel bad!”

Way to take the highroad, Madge.

You could have easilyjust pointed out that theman known for such clas-sic compositions as Candlein the Wind and RocketMan was this year hopingto win an award for amovie called Gnomeo &Juliet.

Elton, husband have choice words for Madge

Brand is ‘quite well, thank you’If you want to know howRussell Brand is handlinghis split from Katy Perry,you’ll just have to come outand say it. Brand played coywhen, during a press con-ference for his new TV se-ries Strangely Uplifting, areporter simply asked howhe was doing, according toHollyscoop.

“I’m quite well, thankyou,” Brand said.

“Are you asking becauseof recent events? Well, Isuppose what you’re doingis you’re making the mis-take of seeing time as lin-ear.”

While Brand tried toavoid discussing his person-al life, he does admit it willlikely play into his new

show. “I think there will be in-

evitable biographical ele-ments because you can’t

speak from anyone’s per-spective but your own,” hesaid.

Hot chocolate breaks andcheese fondue aside, a ski-ing holiday can be strain-ing. Even professionalskier Amie Engerbretson,who also stars in catalogueshoots, finds the sport istough on her body. Corework and yoga help her fo-cus and thrive.

Build the coreYoga builds up corestrength, which is whatmaintains your back andwithout it you wouldstruggle to stand upstraight.

“People focus on build-ing muscle in the legswhen what they should befocusing on is the back,”says Engerbretson.

“That’s where you’ll betaking a beating. Assum-ing you have a strong coreand back, your body willbe able to absorb theshock caused by thebumps you hit goingdownhill. With a weakcore, your body will col-lapse on every impact,breaking down a littleeach time.”

A strong core keeps youstanding upright and stopsyou from hunching over,the biggest cause of the‘scorpion’ fall, when yourback curves and your legs

(and skis) curl under yourbody.

Stand up straight A lot of skiers suffer frompoor posture but whatthey don’t realize is thatbody alignment is directlylinked to core strength.

“As soon as you get yourskis on you should bethinking about gettingyour posture right,” saysEngerbretson. “Bring thespine upright, align yourshoulders with the hipsand drive your hips downinto snow.”

Load up your legsIn order to build up legstrength, Engerbretsoncross trains, mixing upmountain biking, barmethod and yoga. Yoga’sholding poses, such as thetree pose, are particularlybeneficial when it comes

to strengthening the low-er body.

“Holding poses requiresustained muscle energy.When you’re in the treepose (standing on one leg)and stretch out your legfrom the joint, you’re ac-tively engaging your corein order to balance on oneleg.”

Those who have donehelp this sort of pose willhave experienced microwobbles in their legs.

“The stabilizer musclesare the tiny muscles in thejoints. When you stand ina balance pose and the leg wobbles, you are en-gaging and therefore toning and strengtheningthese tiny muscles and therefore protectingthe knee joint.” she ex-plains.

I’m back on the road thisweek and am currently inBangkok, Thailand.

I have observed whatseems to happen oftenwhen I travel to foreigncountries — people havetrouble communicatingwith each other becausethey don’t speak a commonlanguage.

When communicationbreaks down, people startto raise their voice and treatthe service person like animbecile.

This, to state the obvi-ous, accomplishes absolute-ly nothing except raisingyour blood pressure andmaking you look like an id-iot.

So what to do? I thinkthere are four techniques

we can all use to best tryand communicate in theabsence of an interpreter.

1. Slow down. Speakingquickly makes it very hardfor others who do not speakour language to understandus, so slowing down mighthelp a little.

2. Annunciate your

words. Truth be told, we arenot the best generation atpronouncing our wordsclearly. Slowing down andannunciating all of ourwords better gives the lis-tener a chance to under-stand the gist of what weare trying to communicate.

3. A calm tone is alwaysbest. Keeping calm helpskeep the entire communi-cation going smoothly.

4. Hand gestures will al-ways help bridge the gapbetween the two of you, soif possible, travelling with achampion charades playermay always be of help!

On my current Asianbusiness tour, I learnedsomething of great interest:in Shanghai, three luxury

hotels require their work-ers to attend English-speak-ing classes paid for by thehotel.

The objective is to ulti-mately better service theEnglish-speaking traveller.

How interesting that onthe other side of the coin, Ihave yet to find a hotel inEnglish-speaking countriesto provide and offer Man-darin-speaking lessons totheir employees.

With an estimated 150million middle class Chi-nese tourists expected with-in the next few years, I see alot of hand signals and slowspeaking people in the fu-ture.HAVE A QUESTION? EMAIL CHARLES [email protected].

COMMUNICATING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

When you have trouble communicating with someone

That’s just plain ol’ rude.

Canadian ex-bachelorette opens up

Amber Bacon, a Port Coquit-lam, B.C., nurse and the on-ly Canadian who had achance to woo The Bache-lor, talks to Metro about hertime on the show, not get-ting a rose and her messageto Ben Flajnik.

Giving Ben a taste of bacon byhaving him kiss your hand,was that on the spot or not?I had it prepared and want-ed something that was a lit-tle bit fun, flirty andmemorable so I thought the‘Baconator’ was fun. I don’ttake myself too seriously soI was able to poke fun at myname and I thought thatwas good.

How was it being in one roomwith 24 other women? Didyou see some checking outthe competition?I think girls always look atother girls and size them upto try and see who they’reup against. I think that’snormal for girls in any situa-tion. In any bar you go to,all the girls are kind of look-ing at each other. This situa-tion is a bit high stress and abit more intense, so some ofthe girls can take their emo-tion to the next level andget all riled up.

What are your thoughts onpeople saying this was the‘most gimmicky’ Bachelor pre-miere ever (somebodybrought her grandma, anoth-er came in riding a horse)?I think the girls really want-

ed to stand out so they didwhatever they can to makeBen remember. There are somany girls and I don’t evenknow how he would re-member 25 names. If youdo something big like com-ing in on a horse, and hewould be like, ‘Oh that girlon the horse.’ I think thatwas smart of them that theygot his attention.

How did you feel about notgetting a rose?I was a little disappointedthat I didn’t get more timeto be on the show and to seeif I liked Ben. At the sametime, not everyone likeseveryone. I’m still a greatgirl and he’s still a great guy.

Are you rooting for anyone?I really liked Lindzi (Cox),the girl who came on thehorse. I do think she was areally nice, down-to-earthgirl. I had spent time talkingto her and just thought shewas a genuine, classy ladyso I’m pulling for her.

What’s your message for Ben?You gave up on the best girlin the world. Good luck.

MANY SMILES!

Providing Quality Education in Ontario for More Than 40 Years16 Convenient Locations in Ontario

As co-host ofMillion Dol-lar Neigh-bourhood,Bruce Selleryhelps fami-lies address

their money problemswith tough love.

The show starts inAldershot, B.C., whereone community will con-fess their bad money se-crets, come to terms withtheir debt denial and finda whole lot of money byselling, downsizing, swap-ping, bartering, investingand some good old-fash-ioned sweat equity.

Feeling inspired to savesome money? Here’s Sell-ery’s Top 3 tips for Metroreaders.

Get fanatical about fees: Youdrive out of your way tosave a dollar on diapers ora dime on gas, but don’tlook closely at the feesyou’re paying for cell-phone plans, Internet,banking and investing.Figure out what you’repaying then see if you canget a better deal from a dif-

ferent provider. If you can,call and ask your companyto put you on a better plan.If they won’t, saunter onover to their competition.

Put your credit card on ice:

Store your credit card inthe freezer and live cashonly for one month. Yes, itis totally inconvenient and

annoying, but will makeyou more conscious ofwhat you spend your mon-ey on. This will help youfind some places to cutback. Credit cards maskover the pain of spending,which is one reason con-sumer debt levels are sohigh. Pain can be a goodthing as it helps us avoiddanger. Going cash onlywill help bring back thepain and reduce the dan-ger of over-spending.

Take a second look at past tax

returns: Consider using aprofessional tax preparerto look at old returns andsee if there are tax creditsor deductions you mayhave missed.BRUCE SELLERY IS AUTHOR OFMOOLALA: WHY SMART PEOPLE DODUMB THINGS WITH THEIR MONEYAND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

on that back! The BMO holi-day spendingsurvey resultswere releasedlast week and

76 per cent of Canadians re-ported they spent less thanthey had planned over theholidays. On average, Cana-dian households shelled out$1,029 on food, drinks, giftsand entertainment; $300less than what most wereexpecting to spend.

Around 25 per cent ofthat same group listed ‘re-ducing household debt’ astheir number one priorityfor 2012. Pulling in secondplace, with 24 per cent ofrespondents, was a resolu-tion ‘to save more for retire-ment’. The top three waysto achieve these goals are:

• Spend within your budg-et. Use online financialtracking and budgetingtools to keep a close watchon your spending. Thesetools are free with your on-line banking. Once youknow where your money isgoing, you can find ways tocut back. If overspendingknocks you off budget, askyour three- year-old niece ornephew to hide your creditcards in a secret spot inyour kitchen. By the timeyou’ve found your cards,the wave of spending temp-tation will have passed. • Tackle your debt head onby paying a little extrawhenever you can scroungeup a few dollars. If you’repaying high interest rates,negotiate for lower ones.• On payday, before you payyour bills or hit up the ATM,automatically contributesavings to a registered in-vestment plan like an RRSPor TFSA. Many employerswill set this up for you oryou can ask your localbanker for assistance.

Senators come upblank against Jets

Mason’s 25 saves give Winnipeg the win Slater, Enstrom score

Chris Mason stopped 25shots for his secondshutout of the season asthe Winnipeg Jets defeat-ed the Ottawa Senators 2-0 Monday night.

This was the first timethis season that the Sena-tors had been shutout.

Jim Slater and TobiasEnstrom scored for theJets (21-19-5), whosnapped a three-game los-ing streak.

The Senators (25-16-6),coming off a perfect roadtrip where they went 3-0and winners of eight oftheir last nine, lookedtired and uninspired.

Craig Anderson, whowas 8-0-1 in his last ninestarts, stopped 33 shots.

Ottawa is known for itsthird-period comebacks,but the Senators were un-able to overcome the 2-0deficit they faced.

The Senators had twogreat chances in the dyingminutes of the third peri-

od, but Mason stoppedthe first and the secondhit the crossbar. A powerplay in the dying secondsof the period proved to beineffective as well.

After being outshot 13-3 in the first the Senatorscame out with a muchbetter effort to start thesecond, but were unableto beat Mason despite afew solid chances.

The Jets made it 2-0 asEnstrom’s shot from thefaceoff circle beat Ander-son through his legs.

The Jets wasted littletime taking control ofthis game with Slaterscoring 49 seconds intothe first, taking advan-tage of some poor defen-

sive coverage by Ottawa.The Senators had a

scare late in the first afterEvander Kane levelledErik Karlsson in the cor-ner. Karlsson was slow toget up, but did remain inthe game.

Chris Neil looked forretaliation late in the pe-riod, but only ended upleaving Ottawa short-handed as he was assesseda double minor for rough-ing.

Ottawa will have littletime to ponder its per-formance as the Senatorshead out for a five-gameroad trip starting withTuesday’s game in Toron-to.THE CANADIAN PRESS

NadalwinsdespiteinjuryRafael Nadal has a new in-jury — a tendon problem inhis right knee that nearlyforced him to forfeit a first-round match at theAustralian Open onMonday that he won handi-ly.

Roger Federer, defendingchampion Kim Clijsters andtop-seeded Caroline Wozni-acki were also bothered byinjuries coming into theyear’s first Grand Slamevent, but all advanced inmore routine fashion andappeared to be over theirailments.

That wasn’t the casewith Nadal. Bothered by aleft shoulder injury late lastyear, the Spaniard’s rightknee was heavily taped dur-ing his 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 win overAlex Kuznetsov.

“I was sitting on a chairin the hotel, I felt like acrack on the knee ... reallystrange,” Nadal said. “Istand up. I felt the knee alittle bit strange. I movedthe leg like this two timesto try to find the feeling. Af-ter the second time, theknee stays with anunbelievable paincompletely straight. I haveno movement on theknee.”

He wasn’t completelysure he could play butdecided to do so after anMRI exam showed no ma-jor damage, although hestill had concerns.

“I started with a little bitof a scare at the beginning,and nervous because I wasreally disappointed yester-day,” he said. “But after thefirst 10 games ... I started toplay with normalconditions.”

Nadal added that hedoesn’t quite understandwhat happened, but “I amreally happy that today Iwas ready to play and Iplayed a fantastic match.”

Crosby turns to familiar treatment

Sidney Crosby skates with Penguins teammate Tyler Kennedy

at practice on Friday in Sunrise, Fla.

ALAN DIAZ/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

Sidney Crosby’s recovery isback in the hands of chiro-practor Ted Carrick.

The Pittsburgh Penguinsannounced Monday theircaptain will meet with Car-rick this week. Crosby wastreated by the founder ofchiropractic neurology inAugust and credited himwith helping accelerate hisreturn from a concussionearlier this season.

Crosby last played forthe Penguins on Dec. 5,when his concussion symp-toms returned.

Crosby’s agent, Pat Bris-son, noted Carrick special-izes in helping improve the“vestibular system” —which contributes to bal-ance and spatial awareness.

That continues to be aproblematic area for Cros-by. He accompanied thePenguins on a three-game

road trip last week andskated twice in Florida,telling reporters afterwardshe continues to deal with is-sues related to motion.

“The motion stuff haskind of been the issue, boththe time before and nowgoing through it for a bit,”Crosby said Friday. “Thegood thing is that I have apretty good handle on it,and I’m always able to(treat) that. That was a bighelp in August when I wentto Atlanta (to see Carrick).

“Sidney has madea lot of progressbut he is stillhaving somesymptoms, so thisis the next step inhis recovery.”PENGUINS GM RAY SHERO

Penguins star to make returnvisit to Toronto-born chiropractor

chronicled on CBC’s Hock-ey Night in Canada and in alengthy Maclean’s feature.

Carrick’s treatment com-bines chiropractic practicewith neurology and in-cludes the use of a “whole-body gyroscope” — arotating chair which spinsupside down in an effort tostimulate the brain.

“We tailor our treat-ments very specifically tothe individual,” Carrick toldMaclean’s last year. “Whenwe have an area that’s notworking right, we look atother areas that can com-pensate for that if we needto, or we look at mecha-nisms to make those areaswork right.”

Since being diagnosedwith a concussion Jan. 6,2011 — after taking hits tothe head in consecutivegames — Crosby has ap-peared in just eight NHLgames, registering twogoals and 12 points.THE CANADIAN PRESS

“So I know I can handlethat if I need to and if itcomes to that.”

The Toronto-born Car-rick practises in Florida and

Georgia, and founded theCarrick Institute for Gradu-ate Studies to teach hismethod of treating brain in-juries. Viewed by some

medical professionals asunorthodox, Carrick’s ho-listic approach has gainednotoriety through his workwith Crosby, which was

Rita returns to the sidelinesAdam Rita is returning tothe sidelines in 2012 —just not in the CanadianFootball League.

The Prague Panthers,based in the Czech Repub-lic, announced on Mondaythat Rita would be joiningthem as head coach and

manager for the 2012 sea-son.

“I am too passionateabout the game of footballto not continue being in-volved,” said Rita in astatement. “The Prague op-portunity will not only al-low me to help build the

sport in Europe, but I wel-come the opportunity towork within the ‘footballclub’ environment as Icontinue to expand my ex-periences.”

Rita was the generalmanager of the TorontoArgonauts from 2004 to

2010. The Argos an-nounced on Dec. 15, 2010,that the team would notrenew his contract as GMand vice-president of foot-ball operations, openingthe door for head coachJim Barker to add both ti-tles to his portfolio.

Before that, Rita servedas head coach of the B.C.Lions in 1997, 1998 and2002.

He coached the OttawaRough Riders in 1994 andToronto for the 1991 and1992 seasons.

Rita won his only Grey

Cup in 1991, his debut as ahead coach.
