WELCOME!
Hosers, eh?
How about Frostbacks? Canda. Yeah, right, eh?
Betting the House
Hardcover
By National Post reporter Brian Hutchinson
See cover photo.
| Quote: | A large, barrel-chested man in his late thirties, Bennett has short-cropped hair and a cheerful demeanour. He seems like a pleasant fellow, although underneath the calm exterior lurks a deeply cynical and distrustful man. That's how Bennett describes himself, after four years of service inside the casino. "I used to think most people were nice, and honest," he told me. "Not anymore. I've seen the worst of humanity."
As a pit boss, it's Bennett's job to "maintain a liaison between the casino and the players." This may sound simple, but it's not. At Casino Windsor, Bennett hovers behind a group of four tables, keeping watch on the action, making sure cards are dealt properly, scheduling breaks, assisting in the dealers' development and arbitrating disputes. Breaking up fights. "We get a lot of jokers throwing insults around," Bennett said. "Guys yelling at the dealers, tipping over tables. Two weeks ago we had a urinator. The guy actually took a leak underneath the table, all over a blackjack dealer's feet. That's about the worst thing I've ever seen. But I'm sure someone will eventually come along and top it." (From the chapter entitled, Paul Anka Night at Casino Windsor, at p. 145) |
... Is that a dare? Makes not a bad case for Internet gambling, in our view.

Gamblers and Dreamers
Women, Men and The Community in the Klondike
Paperback
By Charlene Porsild
| Quote: | | Editor's Note: Reading a book by a history professor is usually about as much fun as a snapped garter in an ice storm, but there must be something in the long, rolling Nebraska priairie, home to our favorite author, Willa Cather, that inspires greatness because this one is probably the greatest collection of photos and stories about the Klondike ever. |
About the author:
| Quote: | | Charlene Porsild was born in the Yukon and raised in northern Alberta. She teaches in the Department of History at the University of Nebraska and is the editor of the Great Plains Quarterly. Her grandparents were also pioneers of the Yukon. (From the back cover). |
| Quote: | Of course, just as the NWMP (North West Mounted Police) (more about Soapy Smith and Sam Steele) had predicted, outlawing prostitution within city limits only moved it underground and soon there were complaints that prostitutes were back in Dawson, operating brothels disguised as cigar stores and laundries. When only a few of these were prosecuted others moved back from Lousetown and business continued as usual until complaints forced another flamboyant show of enforcement. This had the effect of temporarily quieting the moral opposition, but it seemed to do little to discourage the operators or their clientele.
The Mounties took the same approach with public drunkenness, vagrancy, and dishonest gaming. Even though it was well known that gambling was illegal in Canada, most of Dawson's larger saloons freely operated gaming tables and wheels. In a community where wealth was easily gained and easily disposed of, gambling was simply accepted as a fact of life. The NWMP were reluctant to ban open gambling, in fact, for fear of driving it underground. Superintendent Constantine's position was that the community was best served not only by allowing the gambling to continue but by allowing it to do so in the open, where it was more likely to be run honestly: 'All of the gambling in Dawson is done in the gambling halls, openly and subject ot the observation of anyone and everyone; consequently what the miners call a square is generally played. It was felt that if open gambling was suppressed, the gamblers would resort to secret methods.' This graduated system of accommodation and control worked well in a community in constant flux, especially when the local authorities were willing to tolerate vice within certain limits. Conflict between local authorities and the demi-monde was minimized in this way, and the best interests of the community remained at the centre of law enforcement policy.
It was dissent from the South over the operation of the dance halls and gambling houses that shattered the system, undermining both local authority and the mutual respect achieved over time. The Laurier government in Ottawa came increasingly under fire in 1900, in southern [u]Canada, at least, for allowing an immoral and profligate atmosphere to prevail in the Yukon. ... (-- p. 105) |

Men in the Off Hours
Paperback
By Griffin Poetry Prize Winner 2001 Anne Carson
| Quote: | IV. GUERRE
Take notes with your eyes, he advises. War is clear and intricate.
Lev watched a shell fall
near a boy and girl
playing horse in the street.
Boy and girl hold their arms about one another and fall down together.
Gambling wildly that night at the officers' club, Lev loses
his ancestral home
whose central section,
with balconies and staircases,
has to be rebuilt on the property of its new owner
a few towns away.
Back from the war, Lev announces Emancipation to his serfs
who craftily
reject the plan.
The two remaining sections of his house,
now connected by empty space and a string of bushes,
have a raw feel.
Riding back at evening to his very quiet house, he smells spring in the lime trees, he is alone.
(-- p. 78) |

Poker Ace Daniel Negreanu Mind Games
By Benjamin Leszcz
December, 2004
| Quote: | Daniel Negreanu would never tell you he's one of the top poker players around. Even if he did, you probably wouldn't believe him. With his elfin grin, earring and bleached-blond hair, he certainly doesn't look like a hardened gambler. But with a record-setting year behind him and Card Player magazine's 2004 Player of the Year award in the bag, there's no disputing that the 30-year-old Toronto native is at the pinnacle of the poker world.
Negreanu is lucky, too, having turned professional as the game experiences phenomenol growth; online gaming sites and televised tournaments have proliferated in recent ) at the Borgata tournament in Atlantic City. Just a year ago, the pot would have been less than half that. He estimates that he's won $10 million (U.S.) playing poker, some $3 million of it this year. And though his parents immigrated to Toronto from Romania hoping he'd become a doctor or lawyer, it's tough to argue with success. With a house in Las Vegas, a Lexus convertible, a comfortable nest egg and regular travel to tournaments all over the world, Negreanu is living a life his parents could scarcely have imagined when they were raising him and his older brother on an electrician's pay. (Opening paragraphs at p. 27) |

The Good Thief
DVD
Featuring the song, A Thousand Kisses Deep,
Ten New Songs
CD Audio
By fabulous Frostback Leonard Cohen, who finally at 66 beat the blues
| Quote: | The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive |
| Quote: | | Editor's Note: Even at 70+, Frostback wordsmith Cohen still provides one of the most eloquent answers to the age-old question, What the hell do women want, exactly? The song was about the only thing we could actually hear in this inaudible remake of French classic, Bob le Flambeur. The song arrives just in time to decorate a late night/early morning panorama of the French Riviera and deflect attention from the devastated visage of the once beautiful Nick Nolte. |

Court and Spark
CD Audio
By Frostback legend Joni Mitchell
| Quote: | HELP ME
Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling, I know
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-taIking-ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom
Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some hot hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom
Didn't it feel good
We were sitting there talking
Or lying there not talking
Didn't it feel good
You dance with the lady
With the hole in her stocking
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good
Help me
I think I'm falling
In love with you
Are you going to let me go there by myself
That's such a lonely thing to do
Both of us flirting around
Flirting and flirting
Hurting too
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom
Listen here. |

Return of a Virtuoso
Following a debilitating stroke, the incomparable jazz pianist
Oscar Peterson had to start over
By Marya Hornbacher
January, 2005
| Quote: | | Peterson's talents as a composer, which have been largely overshadowed by his strengths as a performer, began with a dare. "My bassist Niels Pederson said, 'Why don't you write something?' I said, 'Now?' He said, 'Yeah! You're supposed to be so big and bad. Go ahead.' I figured he was getting a little uppity so I'd face this challenge. So I wrote 'The Love Ballad' for my wife." Likewise for Canadiana Suite, which he recorded in 1964. "That was started on a bet," he says, chuckling. "I had been messing with Ray Brown" - Peterson is a notorious practical joker, and Brown was one of his favorite victims - "I would go steal his cuff links and what have you. And he said, 'Why don't you make good use of your time instead of messing with me? Why don't you go write something?' I said, 'What do you want me to write?' I was in a very cavalier mood. He said, 'You know, Duke [Ellington] has written a "this suite" and a "that suite," why don't you go write a suite?' I said, 'OK, I'll be back.'" Peterson chuckles. "The first piece I wrote was 'Wheatland,' and I started on 'Blues of the Prairies.' And I called Ray over. He said, 'Well, when are you going to finish it?' I said, 'Ray, we gotta go to work! I would, but ' - and he said, 'Well, finish the so-and-so thing. Two pieces is not a suite. Canada's a big, big country. What're you gonna do about that?'" A sweeping musical meditation on the grandeur of the Canadian landscape, Canadiana was hailed by one critic as a "musical journey." (-- p. 62) |

The Night We Stole the Mountie's Car
Paperback
By Frostback Funnyman Max Braithwaite
| Quote: | "Louis fighting Dempsey? God, what a fight that would be with Dempsey in his prime. Wow! No, Louis is fighting Max Schmeling... see... and the winner will fight Braddock for the championship... and... well... it's going to be some fight."
"And you can't miss it?"
"Gosh, honey... I could... Sure, I will. What the heck, it's only a fight ..." There was a long pause while I struggled with my lower nature. Then, finally, I blurted out:
"No...I damned well can't. These things don't happen every week, you know. Tell you what... I'll buy you a new dress with the five bucks."
"The five bucks?"
"Yeah... I bet with Harry King. The sucker."
"You bet five dollars ... five dollars on a prize fight? How could you do such a thing?"
"She was hurt, I could see that. Five dollars was about all the money we had at the end of the month after the bills had been paid.
"I can't lose," I said simply. (Chapter 2, A Snook and a Snolly-goster, pgs. 40-41) |
Later that night:
| Quote: | That fight! I can remember it almost blow by blow. The announcer... I think his name was Clem McCarthy... was sure as everybody else was that the Bomber would demolish the pure Aryan. He was advertising Buick cars, I remember, and for the first few rounds of the fight he'd say ... "And Louis comes in with a left ... all the power of a new Buick!"
But then the fight began to turn. It seemed that every time Louis threw the left he dropped his shoulder and the German was coming in over it with a straight right that landed hard on Louis' temple and hurt. Around about the fifth round this punishment had slowed down and it looked as if he might lose. Suddenly, according to McCarthy, it was Schmeling's punches that had the power of a new Buick. As everybody knows, Schmeling knocked Louis out in the eighth, and I lost five dollars.
And then damned if Harry King didn't show up to collect. He insisted that I accompany him to a bootlegger's where, he said, I could "drown my sorrows."
I drowned them all right right. Unfortunately I almost drowned myself, too, and when I got home about one in the morning Aileen was back from the recital and in bed but not asleep. She wouldn't talk to me, and I went to sleep feeling hard-done by and completely miserable.
Worse than that, I slept in the next morning and hurried off to school without breakfast and without fetching a pail of coal. (pg.s 41-42) |
| Quote: | | Editor's Note: Braithwaite is perhaps best known for this definitive Canadian classic, a film that enjoyed a very limited run (perhaps fortuitous of 'free trade' then still to come?) in American-owned movie houses in Canada at the time of its release: Why Shoot the Teacher? |

Mordecai Richler On Snooker
The Game and the Characters Who Play It
Hardcover
By Mordecai Richler
| Quote: | I went on to enjoy a brief, only fitfully successful stint as a teenage poolroom hustler. Frequenting snooker venues where I was unknown, I would sit on the bench and feign amazement at the pots made by older players -- say, guys in their twenties. "Wow!" I'd exclaim, slapping my cheek. "Hey, you're a real pro." Finally I'd ask, "Could I play you mister?"
"Only if you've got a buck, kid."
"Jeez. A buck. Okay, but only once."
If I won, which wasn't always the case, it would go to another game for double or nothing. I usually thought it politic to quit once I was ahead four bucks. However, a couple of time, maybe more, I risked going for a whopping eight bucks before skedaddling.
"Hey, come on. Where in hell do you think you're going, you little bastard?"
"I mustn't be late for shul. I have to say kaddish for my mother." (pgs. 7-8) |
| Quote: | ...A couple of years after we returned to Montreal, I sneaked a snooker scene into my screenplay for The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.
The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz
VHS
Richard Dreyfuss, who had never held a cue before, astonished director Ted Kotcherff by making a nifty pot in a first take when it was called for in the script. Faithful to my addiction, I also wrote snooker scenes for James Woods and Alan Arkin into the screenplay for another novel of mine, Joshua Then and Now. (pgs. 11-12)

The Vancouver Sun
U.S. threatens NAFTA by ignoring softwood lumber ruling, McKenna warns
American officials seize on new trade ruling to justify keeping lumber tariff
By Kevin Dougherty and Gordon Hamilton
Aug. 30/05
| Quote: | "You can't have it both ways," (Canuck ambassador Frank) McKenna said. "You can't carry out your appeal all the way through to conclusion and then say, when you lose, 'Well that doesn't count.'
"It's like playing a game of poker and if you lose the hand, saying, 'Well let's negotiate the pot.' Well, it doesn't work that way. You lose the hand, you pay the money and then then you go on to the next hand. (-- p. A2) |

Inventing the Hawk
Paperback
By Saskatchewan songbird Lorna Crozier
| Quote: | Gardens
Moving away from winter, he retires
to the coast, westering, mile zero,
land's end. And what of a garden
I ask? Is there room for that?
Yes, but of a different kind
from the ones he remembers,
the sweet peas his mother planted,
her hands pale spiders in the earth,
the cabbage and potatoes, the anemone
of dill, the rows of beans and beans.
On the coast the soil is thin, a linen
napkin over stones. There, he says,
he'll grow different things, some basil, a little thyme. He plants the seeds already
in his mind, no fear of frost,
the summer's long, herbs grow
on stony constellations, air
moves in from the sea with its smells
of eternity. Back where he was born
his mother now would be soaking seeds
in a shallow bowl, snow outside the window.
He'd give anything to be there.
crossing time as if it were
a landscape he had dreamed, a garden
large enough to hold desire. She
spreads the packages of seeds
like a deck of cards on the kitchen table,
a royal flush, a winning hand.
She lets him rearrange the rows,
placing peas by broccoli,
carrots by tomatoes, marigolds
along the border. On the coast
he says the names out loud:
Early Bird. Sweet William. Everlasting.
He can see the sun breaking up
the clouds, pools of light
along the window sill, the oilcloth
his mother wipes and wipes,
setting supper plates for people
he'll never see again,
he and she in another time, waiting
for the earth to tilt.
(-- pgs. 117-118) |

Da Vinci's City Hall
CBC TV series
Starring Nicholas Cambpell as Vancouver Mayor Dominic Da Vinci
Based on real-life Mayor and soon-to-be Senator Larry Campbell
Famous Frostback actor Campbell, who was featured as a guest host on CBC Radio One's Early Edition Oct. 26/05, is also an enthusiastic gambler. No big surprise:
| Quote: | | A thin figure in unpressed khakis and a leather jacket waits near the clubhouse door at Hastings Park, the venerable Vancouver horse track. He sits on a green bench in the September sun, head bent over the racing form. The track is quiet on a midweek morning, but not inactive. Inside, a score of horseplayers hover between the betting windows and TV screens covering the action at Belmont and Woodbine. Out in the sun, the thin guy lights a Camel. Breathing out, Nicholas Campbell reflects on the parallels between the backstretch and his day job. "The actors I admire," he says, "all have an understanding of what disappointment is about." (From Maclean's online untitled article by Chris Wood dated Oct. 2/00) |
According to news media critics, a group we have never admired, the show is not as dull as it sounds. Yes, and look at this:

Black facing tough odds at trial
By Associated Press
Nov. 28/05
| Quote: | | Editor's Note: We couldn't agree less with comments in August, 2000 by our favorite Frostback news columnist Robert Fulford, who at the time of writing had recently jumped ship from a dull, unappreciative Gobe and Mail. We have nothing nice to say about chain ownership of news media either by Black or anyone else and cannot, cannot understand why the industry goes about its business unregulated. Happily, such an unpalatable result led to the tremendously superior Internet indie news sources, which may put chain media out of its misery sooner rather than later and good riddance. Consequently, as 14-year-old Harry Potter replied when a gang of murderous centaurs was said to be in danger of persecution, we were not fussed by recent accusations against Black of wrongdoing. |
| Quote: | Fallen newspaper magnate (Former Frostback now British Lord) Conrad Black faces long but not insurmountable odds in trying to beat federal fraud charges, legal experts say, as he enters the courtroom Wednesday to formally begin his defense.
Until his ouster as head of the Hollinger International media empire, Black controlled a stable of papers from Chicago to London to Jerusalem. The former Canadian citizen, now a member of the British House of Lords, has pledged to appear at his rescheduled arraignment in U.S. District Court after skipping one Nov. 22 to line up a defense team. Black is certain to declare his ''innocence without qualification" to all eight charges accusing him of involvement in fraudulent schemes the government claims netted company insiders some $84 million. But beyond that, his strategy is a matter of speculation. Outside attorneys predict a trial won't start for six to 18 months, depending on what Black's defense team does. They note that Black will have to overcome testimony against him from former top lieutenant David Radler, who has pleaded guilty.
''There's no question that despite a small number of losses in high profile cases, the government has won the majority of these trials," said Jacob Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor and Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement lawyer. But citing the case of the fired chief executive of HealthSouth Corp., he added: ''If Richard Scrushy (see al.com story) can win an acquittal with five former CEOs lined up against him, and audiotapes, Conrad Black certainly can believe that he can avoid a conviction."
The linchpin of the prosecution's case is expected to be Radler, Black's top deputy and longtime business partner. The former publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times - the last remaining major daily newspaper owned by Hollinger after the sales of The Daily Telegraph of London and The Jerusalem Post - pleaded guilty Sept. 20 to taking part in a scheme to siphon away $32 million from the Chicago-based company for himself and others.
Government lawyers also can draw on a 500-page report issued last year by a special committee of Hollinger's board, which laid out how Black allegedly conspired with associates to systematically loot the company of more than $400 million - nearly all of its profits from 1997 to 2003 - in bogus management and other fees.
''I think the prosecution case is probably going to be pretty strong with a cooperating witness who was a former associate," said Bernard Harcourt, a professor of law the University of Chicago Law School. ''It's going to make the presentation of the evidence pretty clean and simple." |
