The families of four high schoolfootball players who died in a carcrash in northern Alberta say thesupport they’ve received frommany people across the countryand beyond has helped them copewith the tragic loss.
“It’s made it a little bit better forus. We can’t thank you enough,”Darren Davidson, whose stepsonWalter Borden-Wilkins was killedin the crash, told a public memo-rial service held yesterday.
Borden-Wilkins, 15, TannerHildebrand, 15, Matthew Deller,16, and Vince Stover, also 16, diedon Oct. 22 when the vehicle theywere in crashed with a pickuptruck.
Private funeral services for allthe teens were held last week, buttheir families said that yesterdaythey wanted to remember the goodtimes.
A stage in the community’s are-na was lined with photos of theboys. A choir in black robes withorange ribbons over their hearts
performed at the service.Orange is the colour of the uni-
forms of the Grande Prairie Com-posite High School Warriors, which
is the team all four of the boysplayed for.
A fifth teen, who also played forthe Warriors, was severely injuredin the crash and remains in anEdmonton hospital.
Grande Prairie Mayor Bill Giv-en told the service he was amazedby the amount of support shown tohis community by people acrossNorth America.
Many high school football teamshonoured the players withmoments of silence during gamesin the past week.
The Edmonton Eskimos and Cal-gary Stampeders in the CFL havealso said they would wear a logoof the Warriors on their helmetsfor their final two regular seasongames.
Brenden Holubowich, 21, faces11 charges in connection with thecrash, including impaired drivingcausing death and failure to remainat the scene. He is due to appearin court today.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Friends of an EdmontonMuslim leader and re-spected cancer researcherreportedly beaten andjailed in Saudi Arabiawhile on a religious pil-grimage yesterday arefearing for his life today.
Dr. Andy Knight, Uni-versity of Alberta politicalscience chair, said he isworried for Usama Al-Atar.
“I am not sure whatprovoked the attack,”Knight said, noting Al-Ataris Shia Muslim, but offi-cials there are primarilySunni. “I think we have tobe concerned with hissafety. In a Saudi jail, theycan do almost anything.”
One witness said Al-Atarwas mobbed in Medinawhile saying prayers witha group.
Mohamed Hayward said
religious police began ha-rassing them, targeting Al-Atar, who he said was“virtually strangled” inthe attack.
Knight is asking sup-porters to write letters toMPs to pressure Ottawa tofight for his release.
He said emails to Al-Atar, who is a father with
a second child due soon,went unreturned.
Along with conducting
research on cancer, Al-Atarheads the Islamic Shia Ith-na-Asheri Association of

Flocking. Downtown
A shepherd leads a flock of sheep along a downtown street
yesterday during an annual parade in Madrid.
In an Afghan capitalscarred by years of war, ayoung Afghan woman hasbet $1 million US that hercountrymen could use alittle fun.
Located just down thestreet from Kabul’s glitzi-est mall is The Strikers,the country’s first bowlingalley, and owner MeenaRahmani’s gamble on thecapital’s newest entertain-ment venue.
But more than a placefor family fun in a citylargely devoid of options,the 12-lane centre standsas a reflection of both thecountry’s hope for the fu-ture and the challenge ofsecuring one even as NA-TO’s fight against the Tal-iban enters its 11th year.
Aside from the culturalsignificance of such a cen-tre, building the bowlingalley was a massive under-taking.
All the equipment is im-ported, the engineerscame from China and thealley is powered by severalindustrial-sized genera-tors. Its entrance sits be-hind blast-resistant steeldoors guarded by burlymen toting AK-47 assault
rifles.“This was a huge proj-
ect,” said Rahmani, but“we were committed to it.”
Rahmani has gambled$1 million of her ownmoney — secured fromthe sale of family land —that the centre will not on-ly help bored Afghans killa few hours, but also aplace where men, womenand families can gatherand relax, not burdened bythe social, religious andcultural restrictions thatgovern daily life in the im-poverished country.
Inside, several dozenAfghans, most of whomlearned to bowl abroad,seem to agree. In the
month since it opened,The Strikers has become ahit.
“Here, on our days off,we walk aimlessly in thestreets,” said Navid Sediqi,a 29-year-old businessman.
He said he used to beginhis weekend by loggingonto Facebook and chat-ting with his friends on-line. After Friday prayers,they would go to picnic ar-eas or parks, and sit andchat.
The alley seemed like agood antidote to boredom.
But the daily reality oflife in the troubled nationis clearly reflected outsidethe alley’s main door.
In a country whererestaurants frequented bywealthier Afghans andWesterners require pa-trons to check their gunsat the door, bowlers getfrisked by security beforeentering the building. It’snot without reason — anearby shopping mall washit twice by insurgent at-tacks since it opened in2005.

Kodak plays catch-upby pushing for patents
Nearly $3 billion in patent-licensing fees garneredover 3 years Profit losses in six of last seven years
DAVID DUPREY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE
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 activity with the $1Brownie camera in 1900.But for too long it stayedfirmly focused on its 20th-century cash cow, andfailed to capitalize quicklyin 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.
“One thing I would stressis: It is our intention to re-tain a licence to any of theintellectual property wesell,” says Kodakspokesman Gerard Meuch-ner. “It’s like you sell theproperty but still get to livein the house.”
Many financial analystsforesee the portfolio fetch-ing $2 billion to $3 billion.
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,
tabletsand mo-bile de-vices, andKodak has oneof the largestcaches of weaponssitting there,” con-curs Christopher Mar-lett, chief executive ofinvestment bank MDB Cap-ital.
Even a hefty return,skeptics counter, won’tsolve Kodak’s struggle toclose out a nearly decade-
long transformation and re-turn to profitability afterrunning up losses in six ofthe last seven years. “All theextra cash does is give you alifeline for a short period.
And then, poof, you’reback in the same positionwithout the assets to sell,”says analyst Shannon Cross.

MAKINGMUSEUM HISTORY
I’m sure this week we’regoing to hear more about theapparent demise of a newdowntown Royal Alberta Mu-seum. The announcementthat the feds were not going
to pony up their share of the dollars need-ed to build it was very bad news indeed.
Museums are a critical part of everygreat city. Our current museum is toosmall to exhibit more than a fraction of itscollection. That means Albertans aredeprived of the opportunity to experience
much of the province’s history. In addition, the heatingand ventilation system at the current museum is not up
to the standards demandedof major travelling exhibi-tions. The museum is alsoin the wrong place. It’s cer-tainly in a nice location, butit’s hardly central and thereare no other attractions inthe immediate area, muchless easily accessible restau-rants.
Cities work best whenthere are several entertain-ment venues clustered closeto one another. The newmuseum would be close tothe Art Gallery of Alberta,the Citadel, the Winspearand the proposeddowntown arena, as well asany number of shops andrestaurants. Mom, dad andthe kiddos could certainlymake an interesting day outof visiting a museum in thedowntown. Tourists toomight find themselves withlots of things to see and do.We need more attractionsin the city centre if we areever going to rid ourselvesof the dreaded Deadmontonmoniker.
Despite all the finger-pointing and the federal govern-ment’s assertion that it never promised the money theprovince says it did, I have to come down on the side ofthe provincial government.
I find it very difficult to believe the province would an-nounce it was going to build a new museum and create adesign competition if it did not think it had a deal inhand. Though you may find it difficult to believe, thesesorts of things often proceed on the basis of a verbalagreement even when it involves millions of dollars. Thedollars are promised and then much later the papers aredrawn up.
I have to wonder whether Stephen Harper’s crewthinks that Alberta seats are so safe that it has noproblem whatsoever yet again asking Edmontonians totake abuse with a smile. One can only hope that theAlberta caucus makes its voice heard and that that causesthe feds to rethink their position.

Box office
Kim Coates is so convinc-ing on Sons of Anarchy thatreal-life bikers like to givehim their opinion of theshow.
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.”
Canadians who have notyet found the series on thePay TV service Super Chan-nel can catch up from thebeginning when it pre-mieres tomorrow night at10 p.m. on FX Canada. Thenew Rogers-owned special-ty channel launchestonight.
Coates loves being onSons of Anarchy and isthrilled the series set an FXpremiere ratings recordwhen it returned in the
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.”

LUSCIOUS EMBRACESLIK WHIMSY PURELY PRISTINE
Specialty-likeindulgence withoutthe specialty price.
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

“I’m from a smalltown, so everyone’s mar-ried with children orabout to have children,”she says during a visit toThe View.
“That’s why peoplethink I’m gay — becausethey’re like, ‘why aren’t
you married?’ And I’mlike, ‘It doesn’t happenfor everyone right off thebat!’”
Plus, she says shehasn’t had the easiesttime finding the rightguy.
“I’ve dated some coolguys, but I don't know ifI’ve dated someone whereI could spend my wholelife with them,” Clarksonsays. “The last date I wenton was horrible, so I’d liketo go on a good date.”

In honour ofHalloween,let’s check inwith vampire-in-chief Robert
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

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

When itcomes toplanning theend, thereare greener
ways to go.
You visited one of onlytwo cemeteries in Canadawith designated greensites; the Union Cemeteryin Cobourg, Ont., and RoyalOak Burial Park in Victoria,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 delaysdecomposition.
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 protected greenspace becomes the finalresting place.

Although only twocemeteries can performgreen burials in Canada,green funerals are increas-
ing in popularity. A green funeral means

companies that have hitthat revenue milestone inless than 10 years and youcome up with a far shorterlist which includes a com-pany called Zappos, theworld’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 sametime 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 frustratedconsumer. Nick Swinmurncouldn’t find a certain sizeshoe which prompted him
to consider if an onlinestrategy could be used tosolve this dilemma. Fromthat 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 withouttrying them on?” alludesMichelli.
Michelli’s book looks atthe five principles that hefound to be the foundationof Zappos’ success.

Drafted by the Oilerssixth overall in the 1994draft, Smyth was the faceof the team for about adecade before leaving Ed-monton in a shockingdeadline deal to the NewYork Islanders in 2007.
The Alberta native re-turned in the off-season af-ter requesting a trade fromLos Angeles to Edmontonand is tied for second inteam scoring with fivegoals and five assists in 11games.
“It’s a lot of fun playingfor this team right now,”Smyth said. “The excite-ment, the energy from dayto day, the creativity thatthe young kids bring, it’sall awesome. We just wantto keep going. We havesome momentum and wehave to make sure we keepit going in the right direc-tion.”
Oilers head coach TomRenney said Smyth hasbeen everything theyhoped for and more in hissecond stint in Edmonton.
“He’s such a goodleader. He’s just an Oiler,”he said. “I’m very proud ofthe fact that it means somuch for him to be here.He really tries to lead by

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 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 in Torontothrough next season as partof the series. Theattendance was 51,579,meaning none of thegames have been a selloutat Rogers Centre, whichseats 54,000 for football.

Drew Tate passed for 330yards and a pair of touch-downs to Johnny Forzani in
a 32-27 victory over theAlouettes yesterday after-noon. The win made Tate 2-0 since he replaced 2010CFL Outstanding PlayerHenry Burris as the startingquarterback.
The result left five of theeight teams with identical10-7 records going into thelast weekend of regular-sea-
son play, with Calgary in atie with B.C. and Edmontonin the West and Montrealdeadlocked with Winnipegin the East.
“It was a huge win be-cause we’re still in thechase,” said Tate. “You playfive months and it allcomes down to this one lastgame, but this is the posi-
tion we want to be in.“We’re in a one-week
season now. We’re focusedon who we have to playnow.”
The Stampeders, whoclose the season Saturdayat home against Winnipeg,must win and have boththe Lions and Eskimos losetheir games to claim first
