Forman, James D(ouglas)
James D(ouglas) Forman 1932–
American young adult novelist and nonfiction writer.
Forman is often concerned with social issues in his young adult fiction; racism, ecology, and war are among the subjects he has explored. Forman is considered one of the major war novelists writing today for his uncompromising presentation of the realities of war. Using present and past conflicts in Germany, Greece, Ireland, and the Middle East, he impresses upon his readers the futility of war. Forman's most successful works realistically examine the reactions of people caught up in the death and destruction of war, focusing especially on young adults who are forced into maturity by events beyond their control. Although his young heroes and heroines feel horror, disgust, and fear, they act with unfaltering strength and honor. Loyalty, courage, and the value of friendship and human life are important elements in Forman's studies of the stresses of war.
Forman's highly-acclaimed novel Ceremony of Innocence deals with the conflict between state and individual—whether or not to fight for one's convictions in opposition to government. Based on actual events, Ceremony of Innocence is the story of a brother and sister who are executed for distributing subversive pamphlets in World War II Germany. Praised as juvenile fiction at its best, the novel sensitively and honestly portrays the protagonists's dilemma. The question of human rights is considered in a different light in Song of Jubilee. Although this novel is similar in many respects to William Styron's The Confessions of Nat Turner, the differences are striking. Whereas Styron's hero is illiterate and rebellious, Forman's black protagonist is literate but seems afraid of freedom and decides to remain with his master. While some critics are disturbed by Forman's characterizations, others feel he successfully portrays the demoralizing effects of slavery on both blacks and whites.
Forman is also a practicing attorney and has written several books outlining the history and development of various political systems, including Nazism, anarchism, and communism. Forman concentrates on the relationship between government and the people, relating his material in easily understandable prose. These books are generally well received as excellent introductions for adolescent readers. Nonetheless, Forman's reputation as a writer rests on his young adult fiction and the values he stresses in these works. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 9-12, rev. ed.)
Margaret Sherwood Libby
One of the most vivid and moving of recent books, ["The Skies of Crete"] has as its theme the futility of war….
Every element in the book rings true: the Cretans' picture of their long, heroic and colorful history; their passionate love of their island; the bravery, desperation and bewilderment they felt in the face of mechanized warfare and mass destruction, and the fumbling attempts of each individual to come to terms with the irrational evil that faced him.

Madeleine L'Engle
In telling this story of Penelope Metaxas and the Nazi landing on Crete, James Forman has neither skimped nor evaded. War inevitably poses moral and ethical problems, and Penelope has to learn to face them squarely….
Mr. Forman has given a fine blend of universal and particular [in "The Skies of Crete"]: the story is of 20th-century young people encountering Nazi brutality; it might well have been about young Minoans defending Crete against the Greeks. This sense of the past is always with us…. Penelope is every vital, flowering young girl, but the ancient customs and philosophy of Crete have fashioned her into the particular modern girl that she is. This is an unusually challenging and beautiful book….

Edmund Fuller
"Ring the Judas Bell" is superior fiction. It has more depth, bite and stark realism than most of what is written for young readers…. Greatly different though the books are, it has something in common with Nikos Kazantzakis's "The Fratricides." Both works are about the anguish of civil war in Greece, following World War II….
The plot is elaborately complex and suspenseful….
It is a worthwhile tale of courage, faith and patriotism with the characters well drawn and the wild Greek terrain excellently evoked.

Sandra Schmidt
Primarily, [The Shield of Achilles] tells a solid, exciting, decidedly untrivial story…. [Its] picture of island life rings true. The young heroine caught between two friends whose feelings about Cyprus and themselves have placed them in opposition faces a real choice. This is undoubtedly a message book, but the message has nothing directly to do with growing up. It deals with more basic things: good and evil, courage, loyalty, the value of friendship and of human life, the effects of war. These are lessons that are the fabric of maturity, not just the pattern it is cut from—answers that are not adult-to-teen-ager clichés, but human truths.

Paul Heins
Although the plot [of The Shield of Achilles] is generally developed in a straightforward manner, with Eleni occupying the center of interest, many elements are richly woven into its texture: the constant presence of the sea and of fishermen, the sea as a symbol of beauty and freedom, and sympathetic portrayals of Turkish and British characters. For thoughtful older readers, the vivid strength of the style and the Biblical, classical, and historical allusions will evoke the rich background of the island. (p. 316)

James Forman has dealt with the conflicts within a conflict, war, in earlier titles (The Skies of Crete, The Shield of Achilles, Ring the Judas Bell) and this time shifts to the German Gottedammerung, 1941–1945 [in Horses of Anger]…. Even though, as could be said of his earlier books, James Forman does not quite manage to commit his readers emotionally to the story itself, and to some extent, to its participants, he has succeeded in presenting various aspects of [Adolf Hitler's] Mein Kampf with a range of ideological issues. He is an extremely good writer, although one suspects at times that he is writing beyond his audience. (pp. 278-79)

["Horses of Anger"] is an extraordinary book to have been written for the young reader. It is uncompromising in the difficulty of its vocabulary, the integrity and complexity of its historical facts, and the gruesomeness of its detail.
The hero of "Horses of Anger"" is a German boy, Hans Amann. Hans is inducted into that pathetic army of schoolboys whose task it was to fight a war the Third Reich had lost….
The virtue of this book lies in its avoidance of oversimplification, false drama, heroics. Nazism is shown, not as the massive entity of total horror which it was possible to see from the outside at the time, and which it is impossible even for the Germans to miss now, looking...

Forman delivers another passionate polemic against fascism [with The Traitors]…. More competent than most war novels which concern as well the maturing of a youthful protagonist, [it] is more truly about war than anything else, as the author underscores once again the horrors he seems to understand so well. The brute force of the message has more impact than the disparate elements of the story—which show developments in Germany from the mid-1930's to 1945 and include Paul's attempts to hide a Jewish friend, his father's defiance of the Nazis, and, finally, their desperate effort with the help of a few sympathizers to aid the advancing American army.

There is no formal exposition or denouement for this moving story of an exodus of Jews [My Enemy, My Brother]…. After settling on a kibbutz, Dan becomes a shepherd, and forms a deep friendship with an Arab shepherd, Said, even saving his life during a flash flood. The novel abruptly comes to an end after the official independence of Israel is declared, with both Dan and Said preparing for war, in opposite camps. This jarring lack of resolution can only be a deliberate, stylistic gesture, a dramatization of the still unresolved, very live Arab/Israeli conflict. Like Forman's other more highly developed novels—[Horses of Anger and Ring the Judas Bell] …—this is powerful prose, replete with...

James Forman has taken a large and important theme and produced an unforgettable epic novel [My Enemy, My Brother]. Sound in its historical background, uncompromising in its realism, [it] gives both sides of troubled questions….
Many young people today, like the troubled Dan, are asking questions and seeking answers. Must there always be war and hatred? Does one war exist only to breed another? With its strong characterizations, compelling narrative style and high degree of objectivity, My Enemy, My Brother offers serious young readers not only an absorbing story but much that is timely for them to ponder.

Taking history for his source and a lean narrative technique for his method, James Forman has written a convincing contemporary novel ["My Enemy, My Brother"] that probably will better inform many of today's 16-year-olds about a slice of the recent past than miles of miles of microfilm on spools in the school library.
As in history, the cast of principal characters is small; and, if Dan's adventures often seem melodramatic, it may be because younger readers have no way of knowing that thousands of displaced persons followed the same path as the boy, from the suddenly open gates of the concentration camp to an exhausting and perilous trek through much of Europe to the shores of British-occupied...

Daniel Baratz [in My Enemy, My Brother] is no mewling teenager with niggling concerns, but a boy coping with questions as broad as mankind. Caught up in the immediacy and personal implications of Dan's dilemma, the reader will be certain that Daniel is over there RIGHT NOW—in the Negev or Tel Aviv or Jerusalem—still probing his conscience, still asking questions about war and killing, about Nazism and brotherhood.

Considered an epic of courage and a book of high principle in today's world to inspire teenagers, Ring the Judas Bell by James Forman is a deeply serious story reflecting the fury, destruction, and pathos of modern-day unrest.
Charged with electricity and tenderness, this book is compelling for its tension, power, and solid grasp of character. Unbearable conflicts and tragic episodes are handled with the stark realism that goes to the heart of the issues behind the times….

[In Ceremony of Innocence] Hans Scholl is in a Munich prison, caught with his sister Sophie distributing the anti-Nazi pamphlets that constituted the White Rose conspiracy: will he seize a chance to save himself, can he face death? The first is historical fact …, the second Mr. Forman's projection, as is an indeterminable portion of the memories that flood back upon Hans—in a chronological confusion that makes the propriety of putting a known person in an unknowable moral bind academic. The moral bind is however the chief thrust, and in the scrambled course of events from Hans' childhood attraction/repulsion to the Nazis through his medical service in France and Russia … to the final defiant daylight...

Intricate and brooding, ["Ceremony of Innocence"] is a tragic profile of young martyrs: Sophia, fearless and foolhardy, a German Joan of Arc; Hans, intense and solemn, a fatalist with Socratic fortitude…. They knew their work would not change the world but, as Sophia says, "It's a way of keeping the world from changing you." Dramatizing the heroic Scholls, James Forman uses flashbacks to weave in powerful episodes, battle on the Western and Russian fronts, and cameo portraits…. But it is the Scholls who dominate the tapestry: Sophia and Hans, naive and childlike, but poignant and transcendent in their futile search for justice in an evil environment.

Resistance to militarism has become a relatively popular theme in books for adolescent readers. However, books about current social trends tend to be expeditiously written and often fail to achieve literary merit. In the midst of this current trend, James Forman's [Ceremony of Innocence] stands out because it presents an actual conflict between real people who denounced or supported Nazi activities in Germany during World War II in excellent prose which succeeds in portraying human elements of conflict despite the overriding presence of a national social conflict in which the characters lived….
Ceremony of Innocence is a moving testimonial to the search for truth despite consequences....

[In "Song of Jubilee" Forman] seems to be saying that a literate slave can remain loyal to his masters, no matter the provocation. Jim Chase is the personification of Malcolm X's "house nigger" as described in his "Message to the Grass Roots" speech. He talks a good game; but the fact is that Jim Chase is plain scared of freedom and, even while the Civil War rages around his head, he remains faithful. His constant apologies and rationalizations for remaining loyal throughout the war are sickening.
"Song of Jubilee" can only add fuel to the argument that white men cannot, indeed should not, write about black people. James Forman, a usually compelling writer, has used turgid prose to present young...

As a picture of the "awful insanity of it all," [Song of Jubilee] is a success and follows the standards set up by the author's previous works which deal with wartime situations. There is a wide range of characters; the background is richly detailed; and the story is smoothly and excitingly told. However, clichés seem to creep in whenever personalities versus events are being developed. For instance, Myles never goes beyond the author's original characterization of him that he "believed in God, white motherhood, and the Virginian way of life …"; Jim's father is pigeonholed glibly as having "a soft humble manner, mild, hesitant little smile; it comes from spending your life as a cuspidor"; while the very...

As [Jonathan] Swift defined it "the law is a bottomless pit," and James Forman has taken upon himself the monumental task of exploring it [in Law and Disorder]. His discussion embraces the worldwide development of legal systems from their beginnings in a primitive state of Hobbesian disorder to present trends in the areas of negligence, civil liberties and international law with additional chapters on the nature of punishment and suggestions for court reform. The marshalling of so many complex topics into a readable, if not always orderly, narrative is something of an achievement, and the text is liberally sprinkled with case studies and historical comparisons which bespeak wide-ranging research.

[People of the Dream is the story of the] tragic retreat and surrender of the Nez Perce as seen through the eyes of Chief Joseph who emerges less as a hero than as a curiously alienated observer…. [He] is a pessimist from the first, and the novel is permeated by a single emotion—overwhelming sadness—expressed not only in his reaction to major defeats, but in small incidents such as the graphically described killing of a grizzly bear in which the wounded animal cries like a baby before its death. The novel's considerable strength lies in its adoption of the Indian point of view; however, in the midst of Joseph's extended sufferings the narrative thread does become a bit fuzzy. This one isn't intended to be...

It is difficult to characterize ["Code Name Valkyrie"]. We know of course how to distinguish between history and historical fiction; the latter adds to the bare bones of recorded fact certain imagined conversations in detail, certain interpretations of public trends as they may be assumed to affect individuals, and "purple passages" which may or may not be true. But what are you going to do with biography?… [Many] of the multitude of details are drawn not from records, not from facts, but from the biographer's attitude toward life and the biographer's vivid and consistent imagination of the times. What then do we call such a book?
This "Code Name Valkyrie" raises the question. It is, after all, a...

[Code Name Valkyrie] is given impact, immediacy, and sustained suspense through the author's effective novelistic style of writing. Opening with von Stauffenberg gaining consciousness after being severely wounded the narrative reviews his past, including his growing disillusionment with Hitler, through his reveries while recovering his strength and goes on to portray successfully his emotions and dedication to the necessity for Hitler's death during the conspiracy and actual assassination attempt. The treatment also gives a discerning portrayal of the ambivalent feelings of many Germans toward their Fuehrer and of a crumbling Reich under Allied attack.

Forman merges two historical Yellow Birds [in The Life and Death of Yellow Bird]—one the son of Custer and a captive Indian princess, the other a medicine man follower of the Ghost Dance religion which precipitated the massacre at Wounded Knee…. Through Yellow Bird's eyes, the figures of Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and others take on truly heroic proportions and his dreams invest the people's last stand with the grandeur of epic tragedy. This must be balanced against the novel's somewhat excessive self-importance, of which Yellow Bird's symbolic parentage is the best example: he is not just half white, but the son of General Custer himself; yet the significance of this remains ambiguous.

Forman's rigorous definition of fascism [in Fascism: The Meaning and Experience of Reactionary Revolution] requires the confluence of a number of factors—fear of communism, state dominated capitalism, mass support for a charismatic leader, and national chauvinism with ultimate extraterritorial goals—that occurred only in Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy. After a brief history of these two states, Forman compares them to other governments and to movements in America and elsewhere that share some fascist characteristics. The greatest shortcoming of this approach is that Forman advances his own definition without indicating where other theorists might disagree. But his comments, as well as a prefatory...

Which of the following "represent" anarchism today: Ralph Nader, hippies, student activists, astrologists, Hell's Angels, citizen-action groups, Maoist youth, Black Panthers, feminists or Gay liberation groups? Well, according to Forman [in Anarchism: Political Innocence or Social Violence] they all do. And if you can accept that, this is an otherwise fairly serious and responsible roundup of anarchist thought and practice. Of course, Forman gives only a sketch of each notable anarchist thinker; there is only a pale reflection of Bakunin, and a tenuous analogy between existentialism and anarchism is finessed in a few short paragraphs. As a first outline of the subject, this serves some purpose by defining the...

Two young marchers, Paul and Janaki, see the march and India's misery in terms of faith and reason respectively and Paul's persistence as he follows Babu right up to the saint's fiery self-sacrifice vindicates his belief in the need for some sort of spiritual purification just as his final decision to marry Janaki marks a creative merger of the two philosophies.

Although Forman's tendency to let the sociologist in him eclipse the artist is more evident than ever [in The Survivor], the saga of the Ullman family and, especially, of David who survives Auschwitz where his twin brother dies, is grim and deeply affecting…. [The] psychological battle is really joined between David and Saul, as one twin's determination to live stiffens while the other becomes one of the walking dead camp inmates call Musselmen. Forman doesn't stint on the horrible details and perhaps, considering the intended audience, some narrative distancing and interpretation is essential. Nevertheless, the style of commentary … does work to make the Ullmans' experience more representative, and less...

The White Crow is no less than Adolf Hitler himself, and Forman asks us to travel inside that tortured mind from the traumatic deaths of Hitler's parents to its near breakdown in the wake of the unsuccessful beer hall coup. The characterization exerts a horrible fascination; one credits it from the outset with both psychological soundness and a ghastly particularity that goes beyond mere profile or case history. (The explanation of the origins of Hitler's anti-Semitism, largely drawn from [John] Toland's recent Adolf Hitler, might be debatable as fact but it fits here.) However, Forman never makes his demonic creation work for him to express any compelling viewpoint as one would expect from an adult...

[The White Crow] treats the early years of Hitler's life … in the swooning style of old romances, and is, like those romances, trash. Forman misses no opportunity to put in the mind of young Hitler thoughts Hitler might say later that he had when young. The insipid language needs no comment…. Books like these are dangerous, in that, purporting to offer a more balanced view, they succeed only in minimizing or trivializing evil. Difficult as it is to face such murderous power, these books offer an escape hatch for readers who are unwilling to face the suffering that is necessarily a part of fascist rule in general, and the Nazis in particular.

[Nazism is an] informative history of the Nazi party that demonstrates the inseparability of Hitler and the party he catapulted into power. Forman looks briefly at Hitler's early life and writings, as they influenced his later actions; examines the unique combination of social, political, and economic circumstances that spawned and perpetuated party activities until Germany's defeat in 1945; and sketches in Nazi war involvement. Although Forman is weak and sometimes contradictory in political analysis, fails to define the scope of his book and that of the Nazi party itself, and slights other party officials, he successfully captures an overall sense of the party's place in world history.

Forman takes on the troubles in Belfast in this latest sober contemplation of collective suffering and wrong. [In A Fine, Soft Day] the protagonist, a young Catholic teenager named Brian O'Brien, watches helplessly as brother Conor becomes a hardened Revolutionary (or so it seems until the tragic end) and a much younger brother follows him feverishly into the streets. Grania, the strong older sister, is a flaming, marching pacifist; but Forman seems to conclude despairingly that her sort is ineffectual and the fighters hopeless madmen. Forman well conveys the terrors of living under siege. The tension in the house is of a piece with the action on the streets, and the appropriately oppressive atmosphere never...

Of all writers for young adults, James Forman stands out as the best war novelist. His books come closer than most to catching the misery and stink of war coupled with the pathos of real people caught up in events they cannot comprehend or manage. Perhaps most significant, Forman's novels give us heroes, believable ones, in the midst of war, acting as heroes might, unsure, frightened, bewildered, and horrified. Yet his characters have strength and nobility. They would probably deny the last adjective, but they would be wrong. Ceremony of Innocence, his best book, is based on an actual episode, but even had it not been factually documented, readers would have believed the events could have happened. We need to...

On Tuesday, Joseph J. Casel, 41, of 178 Hallock St. in Jamestown, was detained by state troopers in Jamestown for first-degree criminal contempt, a felony.
Casel is accused of violating an order of protection issued by the Town of Chautauqua Court on July 20. The court ordered him to refrain from contacting a female victim. Reportedly, Casel violated the order by contacting her by cellphone after an appearance in the Chautauqua County Family Court in Jamestown.
The action is elevated to a felony when a person has previously been convicted of criminal contempt in the first or second degree within the preceding five years. A check with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services indicated Casel was convicted of second-degree criminal contempt on July 20.
Casel was processed at the state police barracks in Jamestown, arraigned in the City of Jamestown Court, and remanded to the Chautauqua County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bail.

PDP Mainstage drum kit (£525)
MusicRadar's verdict:
At over £500 the Mainstage kit is at the upper end of the entry-level price band, but still represents good value for money. It would appear to have been designed as much to a drummer's specifications as it has to meet a price, and, as we've come to expect from PDP, the build quality is faultless.

DW Performance Series drum kit (£1780)
MusicRadar's verdict:
Taking a premium brand into a lower pricepoint can be tricky – get it wrong and the prestige of the name could be permanently undermined. However, DW seems to have got the Performance Series spot on. The kit is located firmly in pro territory; the standard of the shells and components is unquestionably high and the usual DW details abound. While being distinctive enough to stand alone from other DW products they are clearly DW drums.

Meinl Classics Custom Series cymbals (from £60)
MusicRadar's verdict:
A massive step-up from your budget starter cymbals in quality and tone, a 20" ride, 18" crash and 14" hats basic set will knock you back almost £600 (RRP). But that's cheaper than, say, Paiste's Rudes and Alphas or Sabian's APXs. We didn't get the two so-called Powerful rides - they're too toppy and to our ears unpleasant, but maybe that's the idea? Three stars for them, but four stars for everything else.

Morgan Davies Snare Drums (£529)
MusicRadar's verdict:
We have here two of the finest drums imaginable. Every care has been taken with the choice of woods, veneers and finishes, the top quality lugs and hardware and the attention to detail is outstanding. The end result is that both drums sound great, particularly the glitter drum, which is as good as any we can remember reviewing.

Duende Duo and Latino Cajons (£270)
MusicRadar's verdict:
With so many mid- to top-range models on the market you do owe it to yourself to try before you commit, as the sound and feel varies greatly. These professional-level Duende models aren't cheap, but considering the sound and build quality, the two-year warranties and included gig bags, they do offer the serious player a great deal.

Toca Freestyle Mechanical Djembe (from £60)
MusicRadar's verdict:
The drums tune up so easily, but having to take those rubber tubes off the lugs to tune them is frankly a chore, and we can imagine that many will simply leave them off to retain their sanity. The Goatskin versions keep their tuning really well, but if you're playing outside or in humid venues then the Freestyle II might be the one to beat. All the drums represent great value for money, sound good for the outlay and now with this 'mechanical' tune-ability, sturdy construction and head choice, should prove even more popular than Toca's first Freestyle wave.

Tycoon Percussion Acrylic Cajon (£395)
MusicRadar's verdict:
Carrying bags are a must with a weighty cajon such as this, and if you fly a lot with your playing then the excess baggage might well be an issue if you compare it to a wooden cajon. The price could deter some, but Tycoon are definitely turning a lot of heads with their comprehensive and well-crafted catalogue, and with instruments like this they're blending tradition and innovation to great effect.

Canadian Pacific Railway
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gary Goodyear Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, CP Rail's plans to build a bargain basement rail yard will bring dangerous road blockages, more noise, air pollution and an increased risk of environmental damage to the sensitive Nith River in my riding.
CP's flat out refusal to live up to its corporate and social responsibilities to mitigate any possible dangers to residents and the environment has residents concerned, and with good reason.
After meeting with senior representatives from CP, it is clear that the situation has not changed, as CP representatives simply regurgitate the same corporate line: we are within the law and that is the only place we have to be.
One would think CP would choose voluntarily to adopt a higher threshold of corporate responsibility, as so many other good corporations have done in Canada.
I encourage all members to hold CP accountable to a higher standard than it is willing to hold itself. Being railroaded in Canada continues and it will come to a town near you soon.
Celtic Colours International Festival
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, Cape Breton has once again been recognized for its national award-winning entertainment. The Celtic Colours International Festival took home a great honour from the Tourism Industry Association of Canada.
The Celtic Colours International Festival was named the event of the year at a gala during Canada's leadership summit in Victoria, B.C. Held each fall throughout Cape Breton, the nine day festival of Celtic music and the beautiful fall colours attract over 7,000 visitors to Cape Breton each year.
The awards for tourism excellence, presented by The Globe and Mail, were developed in 2003 by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, which is a private sector advocate for Canada's $67 billion tourist industry.
Celtic Colours is a leader in tourism excellence and a shining example of what Cape Breton Island has to offer.
Mr. Speaker, if you have not been to Celtic Colours, I encourage you, along with all the members of the House, to partake in Canada's Celtic heritage.
Again, the member for Cape Breton—Canso and I offer our congratulations to the performers and volunteers of Celtic Colours on winning this prestigious award.
O'Connor Report
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Meili Faille Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, a year ago, the Commission of Inquiry into the Actions of Canadian Officials in Relation to Maher Arar released its second report, entitled, "A New Review Mechanism for the RCMP's National Security Activities".
Commissioner Dennis O'Connor came up with a series of recommendations for a new approach to reviewing the RCMP's national security activities. One year later, no significant progress has been made in implementing these important recommendations or developing an action plan for improving the review of national security activities.
The Conservative government is clearly lacking leadership in this area, as in many others, especially when we see how reckless it is about ensuring that the most basic rights are respected. We should be doing everything in our power to avoid another Arar affair, but the Conservatives are sitting around doing nothing about these fundamental issues.
Women At Risk
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the NDP, I express our deep sympathy to and support for the families, friends and communities of Vancouver's missing women. They have suffered terrible losses and a long, arduous trial.
Many troubling issues remain. Why did so many women go missing? Why are sex workers in particular at such great risk? Why are these women disproportionately aboriginal?
The verdict for these women must compel us to act, to seek answers and to make changes that will minimize the risk and harm that sex workers face.
In memory of all the women who have gone missing across Canada, we demand action from the government to repeal harmful laws, improve police training, and ensure basic human rights are met, such as affordable housing, a living wage, social supports, and an end to poverty and violence.
We call for a public inquiry into the policing issues surrounding the missing women. No person in our society should experience the danger and harm that these women faced.
Changes must be made at every level so that the women who are at risk today will not be at risk tomorrow.
Government Policies
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, the House will be rising soon and members of Parliament will be heading back to our ridings and families. I think it is time to reflect on the accomplishments of the House over the past few months.
We started the new session with a Speech from the Throne that set a new long term direction for the government.
Together we passed an economic update that gives billions back to Canadians and reduces our debt by historic margins.
We also brought in the tackling violent crime act, a tough new bill that will make streets safer for our children.
We brought in a series of amendments to the Canada Elections Act to expand voter opportunities.
We have tabled legislation that would see senators elected and therefore more accountable to Canadians.
No doubt there is still much more to be done, but for the next few weeks, I think all of us, members of Parliament and senators, should be proud of the job we have done in our respective Houses.
For all of my colleagues, to you, Mr. Speaker, and for all of our staff and all of our constituents, merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a safe, prosperous and happy new year.
Youth in Philanthropy
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Maria Minna Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, on November 15 two special young people received a very prestigious award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals, when the Greater Toronto Area Chapter held its 2007 National Philanthropy Day Awards luncheon, witnessed by 1,300 people.
Sophia and Sanjay Sugumar were awarded the Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy award for their voluntary donation of $2,033.05 to the Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital, where they were born. In October 2006, the brother and sister donated all of their piggy bank contents in an effort to give back to the community. They went on to raise another $10,000 in a walkathon.
The dollar value of a philanthropic donation is not the criteria for recognition. What matters are the motivation, passion, discipline and commitment of the donor, which need to be celebrated.
Sanjay and Sofia say they have a simple recipe for fundraising success: hard work, determination, dedication, and a passion for the cause.
These young people can inspire people of all ages to volunteer, raise money for worthy causes and give back to their communities. Their dedication and hard work is to be commended.
Golden Jubilee
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Rahim Jaffer Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, Ismaili Muslims in Canada and around the world will congregate in prayer, feast and dance. They will be celebrating the birthday of their current imam, His Highness the Aga Khan.
This year is even more special as the community is celebrating the golden jubilee, which is 50 years of service of the Aga Khan to his community and the world. Our Conservative government is proud to join the worldwide Ismaili community in marking this celebration.
Earlier this week, the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity sent out a video greeting to the Ismaili community, a first, I believe, for a government minister.
In addition, our government is proud to be supporting the Global Centre for Pluralism, which will draw on a wellspring of Canada's experience. This initiative builds on the pioneering work of previous Conservative governments, culminating in the passage of the Multiculturalism Act in 1988.
Today I know I speak for all of my colleagues on the Conservative benches in wishing the worldwide Ismaili community Salgirah and Khushiali Mubarak.
Laurent McCutcheon
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Raymond Gravel Repentigny, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Laurent McCutcheon, president of Gai Écoute and the Fondation Émergence, who has been rewarded for his achievements and his tremendous contribution to improving the lives of homosexuals. Mr. McCutcheon was awarded the 2007 rights and freedoms prize. This prestigious prize is awarded annually by Quebec's human rights and youth rights commission to a person, group or organization having demonstrated outstanding dedication in the field of human rights and freedoms.
This award highlights Laurent McCutcheon's 25 years of dedication to Gai Écoute. He understands the challenges related to homosexuality and has fought many a battle. His dedication and leadership have long been recognized by Quebec's gay and lesbian community and by Quebec society.
My Bloc Québécois colleagues and I would like to congratulate Mr. McCutcheon on receiving the rights and freedoms prize. Keep up the good work, Mr. McCutcheon.
The Environment
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Luc Harvey Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, the hypocrisy of the Bloc Québécois knows no borders. The Bloc does not want China, India and the United States, although they are the world's largest emitters, to have greenhouse gas emissions targets.
As Quebec's environment minister said: "we believe that mandatory targets must be imposed upon everyone, and that is, yes, countries must participate in the fight against climate change, including the United States and emerging economies like China and India".
The Bloc knows that we deliver on everything we say. We committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 and by 60 to 70% by 2050. Once again, while the opposition prefers to complain and live in the past, we are putting our words into actions by showing leadership in order to protect our environment.
I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere wishes for a happy holiday season to everyone.
Antoine Hakim
Statements By Members

Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Dr. Antoine Hakim, a distinguished member of the faculty of the University of Ottawa, on being invested into the Order of Canada on October 26, 2007. Professor Hakim is recognized for his tireless work to increase public and scientific awareness of cerebrovascular disease. He is an internationally respected scientist whose research has influenced treatment strategies for stroke victims in Canada and around the world.
He has also received the highest distinction from the American Stroke Association for his work. In addition to conducting research, Dr. Hakim has been the catalyst for the development of the Canadian Stroke Network, the Heart and Stroke Foundation Centre for Stroke Recovery and the Ottawa Stroke Consortium for Applied Research.
On behalf of the residents of Ottawa—Vanier, where Dr. Hakim lives, and on behalf of my colleagues, I thank and congratulate Dr. Hakim for his unstinting and dedicated work.
Federal Accountability Act
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, today marks the one year anniversary of the Federal Accountability Act, the toughest anti-corruption law in Canadian history.
Following years of Liberal theft and corruption, the act expands access to information to 20 additional organizations, outlaws big money and corporate cash from politics, and bans ministers and their staff from lobbying for five years.
Liberals want us to believe that all politicians are just as corrupt as they are, so they howl about an appointment for Terry Kilrea that was never made, or about election financing practices that they themselves have used for decades, or, worst of all, they dredge up supposed events that happened five prime ministers ago when I was only 13 years old, attending a grade nine dance, listening to Achy Breaky Heart which topped the charts at that time.
2008 is coming and Canadians can celebrate that accountability is now the law.
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Catherine Bell Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, with a high today of four degrees, a low of minus one and a chance of rain turning to snow tonight, it is normal weather for the Comox Valley this time of year. It is winter after all, no worries unless one is homeless.
If people are homeless in the Comox Valley, they are making do the same as the homeless elsewhere. If there is room in the local 17-bed shelter, people may be using one of three shelter nights allowed per month. They may be couch surfing, sleeping in the car or sleeping in a tent provided by the Salvation Army.
Affordable housing is scarce and the competition for what does exist is fierce.
There are over 10,500 homeless people in B.C. today, according to a recent survey of 60 B.C. cities by the B.C. NDP homelessness critic, proving that homelessness is not just a bit city problem.
A 0.5% vacancy rate in Courtenay means that people spend far too much of their income on rent for unsafe and unhealthy living conditions and many are left out in the cold, literally.
When will the government recognize the housing crisis in this country and adopt a national housing strategy and show it values all its citizens enough to ensure that they can live in dignity and be nurtured in the emotional and physical safety provided by a home?
Religious Freedom
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, religious freedom is under attack in many countries around the world.
Countless Iraqi Christians have been driven out of their country and many of these refugees have been approved for sponsorship to Canada.
The minister refuses to meet with their Canadian sponsors or offer any assistance. The member for Etobicoke North and I have tried countless times to secure a meeting with the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration or her officials to work toward a solution. We have been stonewalled every time.
I call upon the minister to go and see for herself the suffering of Iraqi Christians who have had to flee to Jordan and Syria.
Local families and community groups are ready and able to sponsor these true refugees but, sadly, many of these applications are stalled as the minority Conservative government is turning its back on these very individuals.
The rest of the world is helping and Canada just watches.
I have raised this issue in the House before and I will continue to raise it until the government commits to helping the victims of religious persecution in Iraq and around the world.
What does this minister have against Christians?
Bill C-411
Statements By Members
December 12th, 2007 / 2:20 p.m.
Robert Vincent Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, today members will vote on Bill C-411 on anti-dumping, at second reading. The Bloc Québécois is seeking the support of all members in order to help the Quebec manufacturing sector.
This bill will give the Canada Border Services Agency the tools needed to determine whether or not emerging countries are dumping goods. It provides for anti-dumping measures similar to those adopted by the European Union and the United States. I hope that this bill will pass the second reading stage and be sent to the Standing Committee on International Trade.
Our businesses will no longer be required to submit to incomplete investigations that do not protect them from dumping. Time is of the essence: 84,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in Quebec since the Conservatives came to power. Passage of Bill C-411 is the opportunity to breathe new life into Quebec industries.

Around 1937 Lincoln Cents were produced in much better quality than in previous years. This lasted until about 1944 as circulation strike Lincoln Cents from 1935 to 1944 from any mint can be found in really nice gem condition much easier than other dates in the series.
Therefore, the 1937-P Lincoln Cent is very common in circulated grades. In Uncirculated condition it is still very easily obtainable at a small premium. In MS66 it becomes worth a larger premium but just about any collector can own an example. In MS67 condition there are hundreds of examples known and can be purchased inexpensively compared to many other coins in the series. There is even one known example in MS68 with none being higher.

What would motivate you to live in such a way that you make enemies wherever you go and endure continual suffering until, ultimately, you face a martyr's death?
The apostle Paul went to the extremes he did—had the passion he did—because he knew the God who gives undeserved mercy to the rebel sinner. Paul would not equivocate on the good news of Christ. He could not soften the edges of God's difficult demands to make the gospel appeal to a wider audience. He didn't lighten up the message, and neither should you.
But precisely what is the message you need to understand and be ready to proclaim? Are there discrepancies between what Paul and the other apostles taught? Between Paul's teaching and the Lord's? What difference can grappling with The Gospel According to Paul make in your life? Find out in John MacArthur's compelling study.

Re: Creating Variable Number of Models in One Form
Hi guys!
At first, thanks a lot for this great tutorial, Ryan. You've saved hours of my life..
There is just one question left: I don't like bothering the server with this stuff and can't always ensure that my user's browser supports Ajax, so are there any ideas on how to achieve the same thing without it?
I thought about just setting a global JS variable which stores the current index, but is there any chance to still use RJS then? Putting the raw JS to add the partial somewhere isn't too nice and truly a mess to maintain.
Thank you!

Great news in a happy email from Stephanie Thoen of Aurora, Colo., today: "I am writing to let you know I completed my PPL last week with Mary [Latimer]."
Stephanie, you may recall, launched a website earlier this year that seeks to connect student pilots with CFIs who are willing to barter flight intruction in exchange for goods and services. Flight instructors can register for free at WillWorktoFly.org, whereas student pilots pay a one-time registration fee of $18.95. A portion of the fee goes toward establishing a flight training scholarship, and all registered student pilots are eligible for that scholarship, which is to be awarded monthly.
Thoen came up with the idea after falling short of funds in pursuit of her pilot certificate. (I think it's a fabulous idea, and am half-tempted to see if I can trade my husband's comic book collection for a commercial certificate. On second thought—scratch that; he might barter my airplane to get the comics back.) She reports that a mention in Flight Training magazine and on our website helped to boost traffic to the site, so that she will be able to offer a scholarship in June. "Any additional amount I get above and beyond…will go toward putting together a free flying camp once a year for several students," she said.
It's safe to say that Mary Latimer likely provided the inspiration for the free flying camp. Latimer has held free flying camps for women for three years in a row at her home airport in Vernon, Texas. I spent a few days at one of her camps in 2013, and wrote about it for the magazine. Schoen sought Mary out to finish her training.
Congratulations to new private pilot Stephanie, and kudos to Mary for inspiring others to give back to aviation.—Jill W. Tallman

"I have an obligation to get you to your destination. You have an obligation to pay. What else is there? We don't need 24 pages of legalese."
Haute Cuisine: Grilled Hawaiian Escolar
The Dish: Fresh, grilled Hawaiian escolar, marinated in lemon juice, olive oil and herbs, garnished with fresh vegetable.
The Caterer: Kahler In-Flight Catering, Rochester, Minn.; (507) 280-6200; www.kahler.com.
The Mayo Clinic's patients include dignitaries from all over the world. Often, while they recuperate, their entourages stay at the Kahler Grand Hotel, which is connected to the clinic via skyways. One such patient was President Ronald Reagan, who came to Mayo in 1990 after a horseback-riding accident. Reagan asked Kahler to provide catering for his private aircraft. Similar requests from other patients followed and, today, Kahler does catering for many private jets. The company fields many special dietary and eccentric requests. Some clients want meals prepared on their own china while others request unique adaptations of popular cuisine. One customer recently asked Kahler to create a dish like one from a fast-food chain but using gourmet ingredients. Anyone for a Kobe beef Big Mac? The caterer encourages such unusual orders; in fact, it has no standard menu. "The service is tailored to each client's needs," said Kahler's Sue Johnson. Besides escolar, popular requests include smoked Scottish salmon and kabsat laham, a Middle Eastern staple made from sautйed lamb simmered with cardamom, cumin, cinnamon and tomatoes blended with rice and served with yogurt.

Thomas A. Hadynski
Our dad, Thomas A. Hadynski, also known throughout the Adirondacks as "the trunk man," passed away Monday evening, May 13, 2013, at his home.
He was truly an amazing man. At the age of 77, he remained active right up until only several weeks before his death. He loved refinishing his trunks, walks with his dog Jake, and most of all he loved his family. Though he will be greatly missed by all, we find peace and joy knowing that he is in heaven with Jesus, where there is no more pain or suffering.
He is survived by eight children: Holly Huggins and her husband William of Vermontville, Toni Hadynski of Stockbridge, Ga., George Hadynski and his wife Shelly of Westville, Michelle Flynn and her partner Zauhn Burgey of Plattsburgh, Teddi Allen and her husband Kelly of Bloomingdale, Danielle Hadynski of Ionia, Richard Hadynski of Lake Placid, and Traci Hathaway and her husband Ryan of Saranac Lake. He also is survived by eight grandchildren: Brianna Huggins, Morgan Harrington, Camille, Rivers and Bowen Allen, Cody and Dakota Flynn, Lydia Barber, Zachary and Riley Hadynski, and Madison Hathaway; several great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
Calling hours will take place at the Fortune-Keough Funeral Home from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 18, 2013. A funeral service will immediately follow at 3 p.m. at the funeral home, with Pastor Jeff Grey and Pastor Ryan Schneider officiating. Burial will follow at Mt. View Cemetery in Gabriels.
Friends wishing to remember Thomas Hadynski may make memorial contributions to High Peaks Hospice in care of the funeral home. Family and friends can also share their memories and sign the online guestbook at www.fortunekeoughfuneralhome.com.

Jolie & Jennifer: dress-off
Jennifer Aniston arrived at Heathrow yesterday with Justin Theroux and the cast of Horrible Bosses 2 for promotion. She also covers the new issue of Harper's Bazaar. Wearing white.

Incognito Media/Winston Burris, AKM-GSI/ Splash
Rihanna was photographed leaving an LA recording studio late last night/early this morning after a recording session. She's still wearing that short hair f-ck you Charlie Sheen pink wig. Over in another part of town, Drake was having dinner in a super cheesy, shiny blue shirt. Coincidence or conspiracy? As much as I hope it's a conspiracy, I'm sure it's coincidence. Full Story
Music is the way to his heart, OF COURSE
Charley Gallay/ Getty
Chris Martin, now consciously uncoupled, was on The Voice last night. His appearance was pre-taped. Still, that can't have been a disappointment for NBC seeing as their new guest mentor was basically the biggest headline in entertainment news last week. Oh timing. Coincidence or conspiracy? As I was first to report last week, Chris and Gwyneth were in Eleuthera last week. Full Story

Sean Penn hosted a fundraiser for Haiti on Saturday night, major stars in attendance, including Charlize Theron, his…girlfriend? Can we call her his girlfriend now? There were photographers all over the place. And she sat next to him, and they were ok with the pictures, and it was almost like they were co-hosts, partners. Full Story
Is Ryan in on it too?
Steffman-Rocke/ Splash
Last month a photographer miraculously found Blake Lively frolicking in a meadow with her dog (click here for a refresher), holding up a pink Moto X phone… and we were supposed to believe these were "candid" shots of her not getting paid. Full Story
Candid photos in the meadow
It's a beautiful autumn day. Run through the meadow and smell the crisp air. Marvel at the leaves swirling, golden browns and coppers, the colour palette of the season. The dog trails at your feet, enjoying the outdoors, a loyal companion on a picnic, happy to hang out on a grassy knoll while you check your text messages, your brown leather jacket perfect matching your brown leather bag, a scarf tossed casually around your neck, and your hair in cascading beachy waves – they just came out that way… This is where we find Blake Lively. Full Story
All Eyes On Britney
Everyone woke up yesterday to the news that 'N SYNC might be getting back together for just one night as MTV honours Justin Timberlake on Sunday with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award. Then… A countdown clock appeared on BritneySpears.com Full Story
Liam Hemsworth's double loss
As mentioned in today's open, Liam Hemsworth's Paranoia took a dump at the box office this weekend, opening in 13th place. And now he has to live down being friends with Kellan Lutz. E! News reported on Friday, just as his movie hit theatres, that Hemsworth was hanging out with Lutz at a club last week. Full Story
They did not hook up
Michael Kovac/ Getty
Oh sweetheart, put the bottle down… US Weekly just posted the most INTERESTING exclusive. Apparently George Clooney tried to get with Eva Longoria. Even though he was still with Stacy Keibler, he was all over it and kept telling Eva that he'd break up with Stacy Keibler to be with her. Full Story
