OTTAWA

Canada’s elite troops and theirfamilies have faced a “disjointed”level of social support from themilitary — and in some casesimplemented their own programsto cope with the hardship anduncertainty of their lives.

The findings are contained in asurvey conducted by the army’sspecial-forces operations regiment,which includes the highly trainedJTF-2 counter-terrorism unit.

“With the stand-up (SpecialOperations Forces) units it hasbecome apparent that there is arequirement to provide support tonot only the unit itself but to thefamilies,” says a briefing note pre-pared for the regiment’s formercommander, Maj.-Gen. Mike Day.

The document, which providesa rare glimpse of the travails of thecountry’s most exclusive militaryformation, was obtained by TheCanadian Press under the Access toInformation Act.

The review was initiated by spe-cial forces, but the Director of Mil-itary Family Services, which man-ages and funds social program inthe defence community, joined.

It quickly became apparent theultra-secrecy that surrounds theregiment and its missions was par-alyzing its soldiers and their fam-ilies. Over the years, many wereafraid to ask for social services —or seek help — for fear of inad-vertently violating operationalsecurity. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Friends and family mem-bers of 24-year-old FabienShambuyi Kalala are wait-ing anxiously for him to re-turn safely to Ottawa afterhe was provisionally re-leased from a DemocraticRepublic of Congo prisonSaturday.

His family said he was ar-rested on Dec. 21 at the Kin-shasa airport for allegedlyinsulting Congo’s policechief General CharlesBisengimana, but was re-leased on Saturday. Kalala, aUniversity of Ottawa crimi-nology student, had beenworking as a volunteer se-

curity guard for oppositionleader Etienne Tshisekedi.

“They just grabbed himand put him in the car andvanished,” said HenrietteYakibonge, a friend ofKalala.

She spoke to Kalala byphone Sunday and said heis waiting to have his pass-port returned to him andreceive the verdict of hischarge.

“He’s afraid because theverdict is not yet signed andhe’s afraid of what’s goingto happen to him, if he’s go-ing to be released to comeback to Canada,” she said.

All that Kalala’s family inOttawa can do now is wait.His sister, Agnes MbuyiCimankinda, said shewants him to come home

safely. “All his family is here, his

work and school are here,”she said.

Yakibonge said ForeignAffairs is handling the situa-tion well, but should putmore pressure on the Con-golese government for hisrelease.

Department of ForeignAffairs and InternationalTrade spokesperson AliyaMawani said in an emailthat the Canadian embassyin Congo will continue toprovide consular assistanceto him and his family as re-quired. JOE LOFARO

Man arrested in L.A. arson investigationAuthorities have identifieda 24-year-old man as thesuspect in dozens of appar-ent arson attacks over theholiday weekend in the LosAngeles area.

Mayor Antonio Vil-laraigosa said yesterday thatHarry Burkhart was arrest-ed and booked for investiga-tion of arson of aninhabited dwelling. He isbeing held without bail.

Burkhart was arrestedearlier in the day becausehe resembled a “person ofinterest” captured on sur-veillance video. He was

stopped by police in a vanbeing sought by arson in-vestigators.

Several media outlets re-ported that the van hadBritish Columbia licenceplates.

More than 50 blazes haveflared since Friday in Holly-wood, neighbouring WestHollywood and the San Fer-nando Valley, causing about$3 million in damage.

Halifax Population: 370,000Homicides were up significantly for Halifax, with17 throughout the municipality in 2011. That’ssix more than in 2010 and four more than theprevious record of 13 from 2009. Most of thehomicides weren’t random, but inlate November three teens werecharged in the indiscriminateshooting of a Halifax-area seniorout for a walk.

VancouverPopulation: 578,000The City of Vancouver saw15 homicides in 2011. Thefinal homicide in the citywas the New Year’s Eve stab-bing death of 19-year-oldDylan Cody Smith at anapartment. In MetroVancouver and the FraserValley, therewere 35homicides in2011, accord-ing to CBC.

CalgaryPopulation: 988,000 Early intervention and fundingcommitments from municipal and provin-cial governments are being touted as ma-jor factors in keeping Calgary’s homicidenumber at 11, the lowest it’s been in eightyears. The final count is in stark contrast tokillings at the height of thecity’s gang war in 2008 and2009, when roughly threetimes the murders wererecorded.

EdmontonPopulation: 730,000Edmonton saw its deadliest year ever in 2011 — in-cluding two slayings in the final 24 hours, with a 35-year-old man and a woman in her 20s becoming the46th and 47th homicide victims.

This was thefourth straight year of declines since 2007,when the city recorded its deadliest year(matched in 1991) with 86 homicides. PoliceChief Bill Blair attributed some of the declineto the disruption of gangactivity following sweepingraids carried out across theregion.

OttawaPopulation: 812,000Ottawa had 11homicides in 2011. Fourvictims were womenand the rest men. Kniveswere used in five of thecases. Three othervictims were shot, all ofwhom were men withcriminal ties.

WinnipegPopulation: 633,000Winnipeg saw a record 39 homicidesin 2011, up from the previous recordof 34. The high number of killingswas attributed to increasing gang vi-olence and one instance where awoman allegedly setfire to a roominghouse, killing five oc-cupants.

Irate drivers in Africa’smost populous nation paidmore than twice the usualprice Monday after the gov-ernment quietly removed along-cherished consumersubsidy that had kept gasaffordable, prompting fearsof strikes and unrest.

Gas powers Nigeria’sgenerators because the na-tional electricity supply issporadic at best, and fuel al-so keeps engines runningin traffic that can snarl forhours. The government’sannouncement drew out-rage. “This New Year ‘gift’by the presidency is cal-lous, insensitive and is in-tended to cause anarchy inthe country,” said a jointstatement by two unions.

Unrest would only add toNigeria’s security woes:President GoodluckJonathan has already de-clared a state of emergencyin parts of the country hitby a growing Islamic insur-gency, which is fuelled inpart by widespread poverty.

The gas-price hike is like-ly to result in even higher

prices in the landlockedand violence-plaguednorth, as refined oil ismainly imported throughports in the south.

The government has saidthe move will save thecountry some $8 billion,some of which will be usedfor infrastructure projects. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Profitable Canadian busi-nesses are set to reap $2.85billion in additional in-come-tax savings in 2012,even as Prime MinisterStephen Harper complainsabout all the private “mon-ey sitting on the sidelines.”

The last of five annualcorporate tax cuts took ef-fect Sunday, reducing the

federal rate by another 1.5points to 15 per cent.

The move comes as cor-porate Canada, from multi-nationals to midsizebusinesses, squirrels awayhundreds of billions of dol-lars as it rides out a secondstorm of economic turbu-lence over three years.

The latest figures from

Statistics Canada throughthe third quarter of 2011show business sitting onmore than $583 billion inCanadian currency and de-posits, and more than $276billion in foreign currency.

Those cash reserves haveclimbed nine per cent sincelast year and 27.3 per centsince 2007, when the Cana-

Local tweets12 RESOLUTIONSWORTH KEEPINGFOR 2012

So have you broken all yournew year’s resolutions yet?Of course you have. Now for-get those lofty ambitionsthat would have you forsakeall your vices simultaneous-ly, and let’s try to focus on

setting some small goals for the newyear.

I’ve taken the liberty of compiling alist of 12 entirely achievable resolutionsthat I’d like you (yes YOU) to make andkeep for 2012. Don’t worry, I promise totry my best to adhere to them as well.

After all, even a few minor changes can make theworld a much better place for me, you and everyonewe know.

1I will stop Keeping Up with the Kardashiansonce and for all and spend more time with myown family.

2I will stand right and walk left on escalators.

3I will stop doing that thing where I see anacquaintance on the street and pretend I don’tknow them. We both know what’s going on;

let’s just stop being awkward and say hello.

4I will take better care of my hair because some-day I might lose it all.

5The same thing goes for my money.

6I will resist the urge to Like a Facebook statusupdate about an engagement or pregnancy inorder to prevent a never-ending stream of

annoying comment notifications in the days thatfollow.

7I will stop letting the smug woman behind theGPS navigation voice jeopardize myrelationship, and surrender to the fact that

maybe she does know best.

8I will recognize that the only things that belongon the dinner table are food and cutlery, not mycellphone.

9I will stop blaming public transit for my late ar-rival at the office every single morning and ad-mit to myself (and my boss) that maybe I should

be getting up 10 minutes earlier. Alternatively, I willthink of some new excuses for my tardiness.

10I will buy the $14 bottle of wine, not the $9bottle. Yes, I want to save money, but the12-hours-from-now version of me will

appreciate my largesse.

11I will listen to my mother and wear the ap-propriate footwear for the weather condi-tions.

12I will actually pay attention to the auto-cor-rect function on my phone and stop send-ing embarrassing typo-filled messages to

friends and family. After all, “Did you show yourboss?” is a very different question than “Did you showyour boobs?”

Blasting gender rolesBomb Girls is a new series that celebrates the strength of the women who worked in munitions

factories during the Second World War Oscar nominee Meg Tilly plays the factory’s supervisor

In 1995, Oscar nomineeMeg Tilly left Hollywood towrite, and raise her family,including a son with ColinFirth.

She’s back in a passionproject, Bomb Girls, set inan Ajax, Ont., munitionsfactory during the SecondWorld War.

Tilly relishes her role asLorna, whose abusive hus-band returned from thewar paralyzed and who su-pervises the girls on thefactory line.

Tilly sat down withMetro to talk about BombGirls and gender issues thatare still relevant in 2012.

“I have my little chick-adees to look after onBomb Girls,” says Tilly.

“Everyone’s youngerthan me and there’s all thisfemale power. It’s verysweet.

“I feel so privileged towork in this environment.How often can you walkback in a chunk of timeand explore it and life in itand love it?

“There is also such goodwill for this show. It was a brave choice to do such an unlikely look at the Second World War.The women had their jobs and husbands overseasbut they were fighting be-hind the lines to protecttheir men and their chil-dren at home. They weresoldiers.”

Lorna is nurturing yet

stern in this dangerous place,

where one spark from a ring

or hairpin could blow it sky

high.

I wanted that, “Whoa, she’stough!” But why is shetough? If someone makes adecision you don’t agreewith you have to under-stand the whys. It’s her jobto keep the factory safe.

She doesn’t want somedilettante coming herewho could kill them all. Ilove the humanness of thecharacters, more noble

than they realize.

One of her charges is

Gladys, a headstrong

Rosedale debutante played

by Jodi Balfour. Gladys works

in the office but dreams of

joining the line, even as her

father demands that she quit

and marry. Balfour says the

series reflects social realities

that still exist.

These issues never becomeirrelevant. We may havecome a long way in genderissues since the war andthe overt discrimination,

but those things still exist. We have the resources to

do something about them.Gender stereotypes dis-criminating againstwomen can be dealt with;there are channels you canprocess these thingsthrough now.

But it doesn’t mean atti-tudes have changed.

Balfour says the series

inspired nostalgia for a time

she never knew.

Entirely, but I’ve been likethat all my life. I’ve always

felt I was born into thewrong era. I relate so muchto this way of being, thechivalry of it all.

It wasn’t an easy time tobe a woman and I am nos-talgic for it. I feel I missedout on the best time to bealive. And being wartime,they sucked the marrowout of every day.

Bomb Girls, starring Meg Tilly

and Jodi Balfour, starts

Wednesday night on

Global.

ANNEBRODIESCENE@METRONEWS.CA

HANDOUT

Meg Tilly, shown in blue, says the reason she left acting was to give her children a chance

to have a normal childhood.

Why Meg Tilly

quit acting

I took my kids, always, onfilms. My daughter was inthe third grade and I tookher when I did LeavingNormal. When we wentback, her best friend wasbest friends with someoneelse and there were onlyseven girls in the class andshe didn’t have anyone toeat lunch with and shecried. I thought this is whya lot of actors mess up.Coming from achallenging childhood, Ididn’t want to leave mykids with someone else. If Itook them away with mesix or seven months a yearthey wouldn’t have anykind of life. I realised whatwould pay me the most forthe least amount of time,so I did TV, guest stints andsaved the money, socked itaway and when I hadenough, I quit.

Too much, too soon:

The two met in 2008 on theset of Brand’s comedy GetHim to the Greek. Aftermeeting again at the MTVVideo Music Awards in2009, the two started datingand it was infatuation atfirst sight.

Just four short monthslater, the two got engaged.

Perry was just 25. The two got married at a

tiger sanctuary in Indiaeight months later.

Different lifestyles

Brand is a famous formerheroin and sex addict, aswell as a recovering alco-holic — and is now soberand likes to stay in, watch-ing soccer.

Katy Perry sings songsabout blacking out on Fri-day nights — and likes to

party with people like Ri-hanna. Oh, and Perry’s fam-ily are evangelicalChristians. And, well, Brandis a recovering heroin, sexand booze addict.

The fame game

This has been the busiestyear for Katy Perry — shebecame the first woman,and second artist overallfollowing Michael Jackson,in the 53-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 tosend five songs from an album to No. 1 with her sophomore effortTeenage Dream. She wenton a massive tour, performed at most awardsshows, and debuted a rainbow of new haircolours.

Want to lose weight bygetting fit? Put it in yourcalendar.

Most New Year’s resolu-tions fail because they aretoo lofty and vague. “Exer-cise more” is a tough in-struction to follow. Wherewould you begin? Scientif-ic studies have found peo-ple are more likely to bephysically active if theymake a realistic and de-

tailed action plan. Your action plan might

look like this: “Monday:walk at the mall 7 p.m. forhalf an hour, medium in-tensity.” Wednesday’s plancould be: “Lift weights, athome, 8 a.m., 20 minutes,three repetitions.” And Fri-day’s plan could be: “Bootcamp, at the gym, 5:30p.m., 45 minutes, full in-tensity.” On Saturday? Getoutside and have fun.

“Baby steps are impor-tant,” says SammieKennedy, the creator and

CEO of Booty Camp Fit-ness, a growing companydedicated to helpingwomen get active.

“When you make small-er changes over time, it be-comes less overwhelmingand you are more likely togain positive momentumfrom actually achievingyour small goals. You feelpositive, you see resultsand you are far more likelyto be successful in yourlarger, long-term goals.”

Boot camps are growingin popularity because they

are a fun and social way tolose weight and get fit.Booty Camp Fitness, whichis run by women forwomen, has nearly 100 lo-cations across Canada, in-cluding British Columbia,Alberta, Ontario and NewBrunswick. Kennedy hasobserved that the mostsuccessful clients in hereight-week boot camps arethose who declare theirgoals, attend class regular-ly and make small lifestylechanges they can stickwith in their daily lives.

New Year’s resolutions are plentiful right now To make them stick, start making a plan

Wipe OutGerms atHome Since

germs tend to get passedaround among familymembers, front-line well-ness strategies includefrequent handwashingand sneezing into a tissueor your sleeve, as well asgetting a flu shot. But tak-ing some time this weekto do some post-partyhousecleaning is also agood way to get rid ofgerms — just be sure youknow which cleanerswork, and which onescould make things worse.Writer Lisa Bendallchecked it out in the De-cember issue of BestHealth.

“We don’t need to ster-ilize our homes; we just

need to keep them clean,”says Dr. Camille Lemieux,associate director of theUniversity Health Net-work’s Infection Preven-tion and Control Unit inToronto.

Indeed, Health Canadawarns against using prod-ucts in the home labelled‘antibacterial’, ‘antimicro-bial’ or ‘bacteria-fighting’,which typically containbenzalkonium chloride ortriclosan, to kill commonbacteria and viruses.

These chemicals mayalso wipe out the friendlybacteria we need to fightgerms and stay healthy.

Plus, many health ex-perts and agencies warnthese products can lead toa rise in antibiotic-resis-tant bacteria.

(However, productswith antibacterial chemi-cals may be recommend-ed in institutional

settings such as hospitals,where traffic is high andthe volume of germs onsurfaces can be greater.)

So, what works best athome? Plain water won’tsuffice, but a cleaningproduct with a surfactantdetergent will remove thegerms we don’t want.

Products with hydro-gen peroxide or bleachcan kill or inactivateviruses.

Products labeled ‘disin-fectant’ will also inacti-vate disease-causingbacteria and viruses, anddon’t necessarily containthe antibacterial chemi-cals health experts rec-ommend avoiding.

And good old vinegarand water (a 1:1 solution)may work, too.

providing local cuts of meatalong with a sampling ofhand-picked condiments.

It sits in a strip mall inthe shadow of the giantIKEA and has a family-run,friendly feel.

Deli delivers simplicityBrian’s Butchery & Deli offers inexpensive lunchbox sandwiches for the

working crowd Meat slices were generous, but flavour blend was bland

The freezer offers home-made tourtière and chick-en pot pies to take homefor a convenient dinner.And the sandwich countercaters to the workingcrowd by offering inexpen-sive, simple sandwichesand panini to go.

I ordered a chickenbreast sandwich. Thoughthe meat slices were gener-ous and the height of thebite was huge, the bun wasslightly stale and the blendof flavours was bland. Acouple of slivers of cheese,a slice of tomato and some

crispy lettuce helped toperk it up a bit.

Mr. MacPherson,I recently moved into a newhome, and was disappointedto find at least a dozen“housewarming gifts” fromthe neighbour’s dog in ourbackyard. Being the new kidon the block, I do not want tomake waves so quickly andam hesitant to have my intro-duction to the neighboursbe in the form of a complaint.How can I tactfully ask themto prevent their dog from tar-geting my lawn — or, at leastto pick up afterwards? Best wishes,JB

Dear JB,Wow! Not the “house-

warming gift” you expectedI’m sure!

However let’s thinkabout this for a few min-utes. Firstly, I would donothing about the dog visit-ing your backyard (otherthan clean up the mess tostart with), and secondly, Iwould make sure that myfence is in good order, withno holes, etc.

Now, how about takingthe initiative and introduc-ing yourself to your neigh-bour. This would allow youto start a friendly neigh-bourly relationship so thatif, worst-case scenario, theirdog does come into youryard, you will be in a muchbetter and more comfort-able position to approachthem to deal with the issue.Good luck, and let us knowhow it turns out!HAVE A QUESTION?

A year in tweetsNowadays Twitter is how many people communicate with each

other New book shows that some people use it better than others

Out of the billions and bil-lions of tweets sent out in2011, which ones capturedthat certain moment intime the best?

Instead of siftingthrough all of those to findthe best ones, we luckilyhave author Kate Buss-mann, who compiled thebook A Twitter Year: 365Days in 140 Characters,which distills a year of con-versation, argument, reve-lation and revolution into areview of the year as writ-ten by the Twitter commu-nity.

Bussman correspondedwith us — in more than 140characters — about thecompilation.

First of all, why a book on theyear in tweets?This has been a banner yearfor Twitter. The numberskeep on rising — when mybook went to press, wewere up to 230 milliontweets per day, from 65 mil-lion in June 2010. And thatnumber is already out ofdate — we’re now up to 250million.

For me and millions ofothers, the way we con-sume news has dramatical-ly changed since the birthof Twitter.

We’ve become a lotmore demanding, and

we’ve got used to being ableto control who and whatwe’re watching.

We used to turn on CNNwhen a big story like therescue of the Chilean min-ers was breaking.

Now we’re likely to beon Twitter as well, becausewe want to get reactionfrom experts we trust orspeak to our friends, andTwitter allows us to editand create our own be-spoke news channel.How did you narrow downwhat to put in the book? Howdid they stand out from the

rest? And how did you uncov-er them?It’s been an incrediblyeventful year: The RoyalWedding, the Arab Spring,the News Corp. scandal, therescue of the Chilean min-ers, the capture of Osamabin Laden, the attacks inNorway, the Japanese earth-quake and nuclear disaster,the death of Amy Wine-house, Schwarzenegger’ssecret son. … So I really hada wealth of material tochoose from. When it cameto picking tweets about

news events, my main pri-ority was to find peoplewho were firsthand wit-nesses to the events theywere describing; so withthe Egyptian revolution, forinstance, I looked for peo-ple who were in TahrirSquare on Feb. 11, the daythat Mubarak fell.

Do you find Twitter to be amajor help in your life or amajor distraction?Both! I’m actually trying toscale back a bit, particularlywhen I’m not at my desk. “Lately I’ve used

(Twitter) to getrecommendations ofgreat podcasts … orjust to have a littlehuman interaction inthe middle of theday when I am homeby myself.”AUTHOR KATE BUSSMAN

This is an im-portant dayfor me. Mynew bookCount onYourself: TakeCharge of

Your Money (Simon &Schuster Canada) is now instores and available online.This marks book number11 (the rest co-authoredwith David Cruise) so youwouldn’t think I’d find itsuch a big deal any more.

But I do and it’s becausethe topic has never been soimportant. With the eco-nomic events of the pastfew years, our increasingdebt load and the terriblestate of so many retirementportfolios and savings plans— we must start takingcharge of our money.

You don’t need to begood in math or even com-

fortable with numbers inorder to do so. All that’s re-quired is a plan.

It’s particularly vital forus to seize control in therealm of investing. Mostpeople hand over decisionsabout what they buy forRRSPs, RESPs, RRIFs and TF-SAs to someone else be-cause they are intimidated.

The financial services in-dustry has done a superbjob of convincing us that in-vesting is way too compli-cated for the average Joeand Jill. Not so!

My goal in Count onYourself is to give you theconfidence and tools to setup and monitor a simple,safe, low-fee investmentportfolio — and the bestnews is that it will out-per-form most professionallyconstructed portfolios.

The first part of the bookexplores our attitudes to-ward money and how theystop us from taking chargeof our money. The secondsection offers tips to help

you become financially or-ganized while the thirdshows you how to evaluateyour situation and needs.

Finally, I introduce you

to a group of low-fee, lowstress and easily under-standable sample portfoliosusing Exchange TradedFunds (ETFs) and index mu-tual funds.

When you’re finishedyou will be in control ofyour money whether youuse an advisor or prefer todo it yourself.

After the initial setup itwill only take 30 minutes amonth to stay on top ofyour investments.

There’s also a contest towin a one-on-one telephoneconsult with yours trulyabout anything to do withpersonal finance or invest-ments. You can enterthrough the Count on Your-self link on my website, al-isongriffiths.ca.

Happy New Year all and Ihope 2012 becomes a take-charge-of-your-money year. ALISON GRIFFITHS IS THE AUTHOR OFCOUNT ON YOURSELF: TAKE CHARGEOF YOUR MONEY. REACH HER AT ALISONGRIFFITHS.CA ORGRIFFITHS.ALISON@GMAIL.COM.

Befriend your finances

I love settingfinancialgoals for thenew year. Butover the years

I’ve learned to pare back tojust one or two that I can re-ally focus on, rather than 10smaller ones.

Take 60 seconds andthink about what you’d liketo change about your finan-cial health in 2012.

The most popular areasare debt reduction, frugalliving and investing.

All three of these ele-ments contribute to youroverall net worth; what youhave left over when your to-tal liabilities are subtractedfrom your total asset.

Where does your networth stand? And no, yourcar isn’t considered an assetso scratch it off the list.

Set a net worth goal thisyear. So, if your net worth iscurrently $12,500, aim toincrease it through debt re-duction and asset growth to$20,000 by the end of 2012.

Hands down, the mosteffective ways to reducedebt are to make your pay-ments automatically on theday you get paid, pay a littleextra each month (even $10makes a difference), and ne-gotiate your interest ratesso that you pay as little in-terest as possible.

The most effective waysto increase your assets areto save through an employ-er sponsored RRSP, pensionor savings program.

If you’ve been sitting onthe fence about home own-ership, stop renting andbuild equity in your ownhome. But, this only makessense if your cash flow canhandle it.

Living a frugal life mind-ing your dollars and centswill help you accomplishyour goals. FOR LESLEY SCORGIE’SFULL COLUMN VISIT METRONEWS.CA

Alone in the cold, it was upto Henrik Lundqvist to pre-serve a Winter Classiccomeback.

His signature momentcame with 19.6 seconds leftafter New York defencemanRyan McDonagh was whis-tled for covering the puckin the crease. Flyers centreDanny Briere streakeddown the ice — with bun-dled-up fans behind him —trying to send this one intoovertime.

Lundqvist dropped to hisknees on top of a chillybaseball field and stonedBriere when the centretried to sneak it through hislegs.

This made-for-TV show-case had found its brighteststar.

Lundqvist stopped 34shots, Brad Richards scoredthe go-ahead goal early inthe third period and theNew York Rangers ralliedfrom a two-goal deficit tobeat the Flyers 3-2 in theWinter Classic on Monday

in front of 46,967 fans atCitizens Bank Park inPhiladelphia.

“I was just trying to bepatient and do my thing,”Lundqvist said. “He’s asneaky guy, and there was alot of pressure on me.”

More pressure than mostgames in January. Thisgame received the kind ofhype normally reserved forthe Stanley Cup final. NBCtelevised the game andHBO had 12 camera crewsfilming for its 24/7 series.

Rangers coach John Tor-

torella wondered if the offi-cials wanted their own timein the spotlight to build thedrama.

“They called a penaltyshot, which I still don’t un-derstand,” he said.

“I just thought tonight,in that third period, it wasdisgusting.”

Mike Rupp scored twiceas New York won for thethird time this season

against Philadelphia.Playing on a rink that

stretched from first base tothird base, the Rangersmade the league’s fifthClassic a memorable one tostay atop the Eastern Con-ference standings.

The NHL surrounded therink with Christmas trees,firewood, fake snow, andeven trash-can fires. Butthere was nothing artificialin the elements with snowflurries late in the secondperiod and near-freezingtemperatures.

The Flyers ended thegame without Jaromir Jagr,their star forward who leftthe game in the second pe-riod. The 39-year-old Jagrsaid after the game he in-jured his left leg and ex-pected to return soon.

Rookie Brayden Schennand Claude Giroux scoredto give the Flyers the earlylead, as it appeared early onthat the home team wouldopen 2012 with a win. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Canadianscautious asflu bug hitscoachesCanada’s coaches needed aday without a game at theworld junior hockey cham-pionship more than theplayers did.

Head coach Don Hay andassistant Scott Walkerweren’t on the ice for thepractice Tuesday. The twowere sequestered in theteam hotel with the flu.

Assistant coachesGeorge Burnett and RyanHuska ran drills at CanadaOlympic Park as the Cana-dians prepared forTuesday’s semifinal in Cal-gary.

Canada will face the win-ner of Monday night’s quar-ter-final between the CzechRepublic and Russia.

Huska expected Hay tobe behind Canada’s benchTuesday night in a gamethat will determine whichcountry plays for gold.

“Don, he’ll be back,”Huska said. “We’re just tak-ing all the precautions wecan right now.”

After going 4-0 to winPool B, the Canadians hadtwo straight days without agame and a bye to the semi-final. Sweden won Pool Awith a 2-0-2 record and alsohad Monday off while Rus-sia, the Czechs, Finland andSlovakia played quarter-fi-nal contests.

It’s worrisome for theCanadians that the flu bughas struck. ForwardMichael Bournival sat outlast week’s game againstDenmark because of it, al-though he was back in thelineup for Saturday’s 3-2win over the U.S. in Edmon-ton. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Senators captain caps comeback in extra frame asOttawa stuns New Jersey with three unanswered goalsDaniel Alfredsson scoredfour minutes into overtimeMonday night as the Ot-tawa Senators came backfrom a 2-0 third-perioddeficit for a 3-2 win overthe New Jersey Devils.

Alfredsson took a passfrom Erik Karlsson andbeat Martin Brodeur with awrist shot from the slotwhile the Senators skated4-on-3.

Jason Spezza scored ear-ly in the third period topull the Senators to withina goal of the Devils as hebeat Martin Brodeur lowstick side on a breakawayat 1:21.

Then, at 13:17 whileshort handed, Erik Condrabeat Brodeur from a sharpangle to tie the game andeventually force extra time.

Dainius Zubrus andDavid Clarkson scored forthe Devils (22-15-1), whogot a 29-save performance

from Martin Brodeur.Craig Anderson got the

start in goal for the Sena-tors (19-16-5) and turnedaside 27 of the Devils’ 29shots, including a great toesave on Zach Parise in over-time. It was the thirdstraight win for the Sena-tors.

Neither team was able togenerate any offencethrough the opening 20minutes despite both

teams getting nine shots onnet.

The difference in the sec-ond, however, was that theDevils were able to scoretwice while the Senators,despite three power playsincluding a 5-on-3 for 23seconds, could not.

Zubrus opened the scor-ing off a turnover deep inthe Senators zone. After afailed clearing attempt,Zubrus got the puck in theslot and beat Andersonthrough the legs. The Ot-tawa goaltender did get apiece of the puck before itrolled into the net at 7:47.

Ticats landBurris intrade withStampeders

Henry Burris is Hamilton-bound.

The Calgary Stampedersdealt the veteran quarter-back to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Monday night in athree-player deal, accordingto two league sources re-questing anonymity.

In return, the Stamped-ers receive quarterbackKevin Glenn, an 11-year vet-eran who spent the lastthree seasons with Hamil-ton. They also get offensivelineman Mark Dewit, a Cal-gary native who played his

college football at the Uni-versity of Calgary. They alsoget future considerations.

Officials with the Stam-peders offered no commenton the trade and the Ticatsdid not immediately re-spond to questions fromThe Canadian Press. Therewas also no mention of thedeal on Burris’ website.

But Glenn tweeted onSunday: “NEW & EXCITINGTHINGS IN MY FUTURE!!CAN’T WAIT (Bart Scottvoice).”

The deal ends months of

speculation regarding Bur-ris’ future in Calgary afterlosing his starting job tobackup Drew Tate late lastseason. But it became crys-tal clear last week that thesix-foot-two, 219-poundBurris’ days in Alberta werenumbered after the Stam-peders signed Tate to along-term contract exten-sion.

Calgary finished tiedwith B.C. and Edmonton forthe CFL’s best record at 11-7. But the Stampeders wererelegated to third in the

West Division after losingthe season series to the Li-ons and Eskimos, then end-ed the campaign with a33-19 semifinal loss to theEsks.

The 36-year-old Burris,the CFL’s outstanding play-er in 2010, was in his sec-ond stint with theStampeders and spent a to-tal of nine seasons there. Heis Calgary’s all-time leaderin passing yards (32,171),touchdowns (233) and com-pletions (2,167).THE CANADIAN PRESS
