Ongoing Daily: The day jerk chicken almost got Bono killed

In January 1996, Bono and his family were on vacation as guests of fellow musician Jimmy Buffett. Buffett had been extolling the awesomeness of genuine Jamaican jerk chicken, so the decision was made to pick some up.

The fact they were in Miami was no problem because Buffett had a Grumman HU-16 Albatross flying boat he called Hemisphere Dancer. He got it cheap from the US Navy and could fly it himself.

Buffett, Bono, his family, Island Records head Chris Blackwell, and a co-pilot piled into the plane and set course for Montego Bay. But once they arrived, the water was too rough to land, so they diverted to Negril.

However, this diversion was unannounced and when local authorities saw the plane, they assumed it belonged to another drug runner. So they opened fire. More than 100 rounds were fired at the plane with several hitting the fuselage and shattering the windscreen. Fortunately, no one was hurt, no one was charged, and everyone soon hightailed it back to Miami.

There’s no word on whether Bono got his jerk chicken.

Ongoing History Daily: The two punk bands who played a psychiatric hospital

The early days of punk were anything-goes times. The idea was to do virtually everything differently, especially you could be extra strange and provocative.

Enter The Cramps, a New York-based band that was a regular at the legendary CBGB. But their most famous show was with a San Franciso band called The Mutants. In 1978, the two of them journeyed to Napa to play a free show for the psychiatric patients at the Napa State Hospital.

The whole thing was captured on film and released as a 27-minute documentary called, We Were There to Be There. Why did they do it? To bring attention to government efforts to defund and privatize mental healthcare.

Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry, episode 073: Forgotten music festival disasters, part 2

It’s always risky when you corral a bunch of humans in a field for one, two, three days, or more. The promise is that everyone will have fun experiencing music and the company of like-minded music fans.

But humans being humans, things will go wrong. It could be something as common as bad weather. Not much you can do about that except do your best to prepare for that contingency, whether it be blistering heat or pouring rain.

But then there are cases where carelessness, negligence, criminal behaviour, and even terrorism destroy everything.

Once the dust settles and lawsuits are settled, promoters, venues, and music fans pick themselves up and move on, hopefully learning something from the disaster they survived—but others didn’t.

This is why it feels so strange that there are music festival disasters that people either don’t know about or have forgotten entirely.

This is episode 73 of “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry.” And this is the second half of stories involving music festival disasters that have been forgotten or swept from history, even though people have been hurt and even died.
In addition to the podcasts, you can hear Uncharted on these Corus radio stations (all times local):

Ongoing History Daily: A quick lesson in ancient music

Pretty much all the songs we listen to today features multiple tracks of instrumentation and vocals. The term for this is “polyphonic.” But when did the idea of layering music begin?

The earliest evidence of a piece of music with two parts—at least one that was written down—is from around the year 900 when someone wrote something praising Saint Boniface, the patron saint of Germany. It was discovered in 2014 after the strange notation—a way of writing down music before the modern music notation was invented—was translated.

Musicologist now consider this composition, which appears at the end of a manuscript called Life of Bishop Maternianus of Reims, to have lain the foundations for Western music that have lasted for more than a thousand years.

Two more plea deals reached in case of Penticton man killed in 2021

Two more minors who were charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Taig Savage have pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. One other youth previously took a plea bargain in the 2021 deah in Penticton. Klaudia Van Emmerik is covering the case and has more on the family's frustration with the justice system.

The family of Taig Savage is facing another difficult development in the case of the 22-year-old Penticton man who was killed five years ago.

“It’s shocking. It’s really shocking,” Taig’s mom Tracey Savage said Monday after learning that two more accused have reached plea agreements in the case.

The developments come just a week and a half after another accused pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a plea deal.

Savage’s lifeless body was found on the track field at Penticton Secondary School in September 2021.

Four people were charged with second-degree murder two years later.

Three of the accused were minors at the time of the killing.

On Sept. 4, one of those accused pleaded guilty to manslaughter as part of a plea agreement.

Now, the other two minors have also reached similar plea deals.

Tracey Savage said the family feels like there is no justice for Taig.

“I held my granddaughter just recently, and I realized that my son will never meet her,” she said as she tried holding back tears. “It’s not the way we wanted things, but as I learned today, nothing, or most things in life, are not fair and this will never be fair.”

Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the maximum sentence for manslaughter is three years, compared to seven years for second-degree murder.

“When it comes to second-degree murder versus manslaughter, the big hurdle for the Crown to prove secondary murder is that they have to prove that the accused actually intended to cause the death of the victim,” said Rob Dhanu, a former criminal crown prosecutor.

Dhanu added that murder cases are extremely complicated, even more so when multiple people are accused of the crime.

“What the Crown has to do they have to prove not only who did what but who intended to do what, Dhanu said.  “The Crown may have felt that in this case it was better to go with the bird in hand rather than the two in the bush and plead to a lesser included offense where they get the conviction.”

A publication ban prevents the reporting of the circumstances revealed in court because Isaac Jack, the only adult accused in this case, has yet to be tried.

Jack’s trial is scheduled for this spring, but Tracey Savage wonders if that trial will go forward after the three plea deals.

“I hope that we are not sitting here another year from now in May 2027 when this court case gets rolling with the same expression and same face that I have today,” she said. “It’s a very sad day.”

Owner of so-called 'Hillbilly Houseboat' speaks about invention

The owner of the controversial so-called 'hillbilly houseboat' in Surrey says his vessel is just a prototype - that he is testing on the Nicomekl River. Aaron McArthur reports.

The owner of an unusual floating home in Surrey is speaking to Global News about his controversial invention.

Emilio Gilpo says his so-called “Hillbilly Houseboat” is a prototype that he is testing on the Nicomekl River in Surrey near Portage Park.

“I have to do what they call a ‘proof of concept,’ so I’m doing this,” Gilpo told Global News.

“If everything goes well, then it will be improved and see how it will goes.”

The houseboat is a camper trailer, sitting on top of a makeshift barge of 36 round containers and some steel beams.

Nearby residents told Global News that they witnessed the floating home get assembled and then launched into the water using a crane.

“You can use it as a recreational vehicle, or a houseboat…something like that,” Gilpo said.

“Once it is improved on, then it can help the economy.”

 

The City of Surrey said it had warned the vessel’s owner earlier this month. It did issue one parking ticket when it was located on city land. The ticket was still visible on the side of the trailer on Sunday.

Now that it is on the water, it is in the federal government’s jurisdiction.

Transport Canada said it is going to follow up with Gilpo to ensure that the vessel meets safety and environmental standards.

Gilpo said there is nothing dangerous about his prototype.

The barrels in the pontoons are empty and there is nothing on board except a small generator.

He added that the barge will remain in the water for a few days while he makes modifications and improvements to the design.

He could not provide a timeline for exactly when that might be.

Kawhi Leonard officially returns to Toronto with NBA approving Raptors-Clippers trade

Kawhi Leonard is officially returning to the Toronto Raptors.

After a months-long delay, the NBA approved a trade between the Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers on Monday that sent Leonard back to Toronto where he won an NBA championship in 2019.

All-star forward Brandon Ingram, guard Gradey Dick, unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, a 2027 first-round pick swap and two second-round picks are going to L.A. in return.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Kawhi back to Toronto,” said Raptors general manager and executive vice-president Bobby Webster. “His impact on our organization, our city, and our country is undeniable, and he embodies the competitiveness and championship mindset that we value.

“We believe his leadership, experience and talent will help us as we continue building toward our next championship.”

The deal was paused while the NBA investigated Leonard and the Clippers for salary-cap circumvention.

The league completed its investigation on Sept. 2, fining Leonard US$700,000 but declined to suspend him or void his contract.

The NBA was much harder on the Clippers.

They were stripped of five first-round picks from 2029 through 2033 and the team was fined $30 million after an independent investigation found a pattern of misconduct and multiple significant rules violations. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and president of business operations Gillian Zucker were suspended for one year, while president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank was suspended for six months.

Leonard is expected to speak with reporters on Sept. 28 at Toronto’s media day.

Although the deal had not been officially submitted to the league while the investigation was underway, Leonard, Ingram and Dick tried to participate with their new teams as much as NBA rules allowed.

Leonard sat in the front row at Kyle Lowry’s July 7 news conference at Toronto’s OVO Athletic Centre, where Lowry announced he would retire as a member of the Raptors. Ingram attended a Clippers summer league game in Las Vegas on July 10.

The 35-year-old Leonard averaged 27.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.4 blocks per game last season for the Clippers in 2025-26.

Leonard is a seven-time All-Star, seven-time All-NBA selection, a two-time NBA champion (with San Antonio in 2014 and Toronto in 2019) and is generally considered one of the game’s top defensive players. He joins a Raptors team that had the fifth-best defensive rating in the league last season.

Ingram averaged 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists in his one season in Toronto, but was injured 11 minutes into Game 5 of the Raptors’ first-round playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He underwent right heel surgery on May 8.

Dick took a step back in his third NBA season, averaging 14 minutes per game in 2025-26, averaging six points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists, all career lows.

“We also want to thank Brandon and Gradey and appreciate their work ethic, character, and basketball excellence they brought to our team every day,” said Webster.

Leonard was the central player in the Raptors’ 2019 championship run, but spent just one season with the club before joining his hometown Clippers as a free agent.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 14, 2026.

2026 Emmy Awards winners list: 'The Pitt' and 'Hacks' lead nominations

Television’s biggest night returns with the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, celebrating the best in television from standout stories, performances and creators of the year.

Mariska Hargitay, the longtime Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star and a three-time Emmy winner, is hosting the show. She is the first woman to host the Emmys in 15 years, following Jane Lynch in 2011.

She opened the show with a musical tribute to television viewing, I Love TV Screens, sung to the tune of I Love Rock ’n’ Roll. A recorded start featured NBA champion Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks and actor Jennifer Coolidge. It continued inside the theatre with a group of dancers with TVs for heads.

“NBC is celebrating its 100th year, and I have been on Law & Order: SVU for all of them,” Hargitay said, who has starred in the show for 27 seasons.

Ahead of the ceremony, The Pitt leads all nominees with 25 nods, while Hacks leads all comedies with 24 for its final season.

The emergency room series The Pitt won big last year, including wins for best drama series, best actor for Noah Wyle and best supporting actress for Katherine LaNasa.

Wyle was nominated again, as was LaNasa. Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif and Sepideh Moafi also got nominations, with The Pitt taking four of the seven supporting actress spots.

Three of their castmates were also nominated for best supporting actor including Patrick Ball, Shawn Hatosy and Gerran Howell.

Pluribus, from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan, got 18 nods, while Apple TV horror comedy Widow’s Bay received 19.

Netflix’s Beef was top in the limited or anthology series categories with 16 nominations.

Hacks star Jean Smart won lead actress in a comedy for the fifth time, making her the first female performer to take home an Emmy for every season of a show.

“Just the men stay standing. The girls get to sit down,” Smart joked as she accepted the award. “I’m serious. Every time this happens, I think of the girls who are going: ‘I just got comfortable. Why she did have to —?’ You got your Spanx and your corset and your tape and your shoes that are cutting your toes off, going, ‘Oh my god. She’s not that good. You just stood up ’cause she’s old.”

Smart, 75, went on to dedicate her win to Hacks creators Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky and Paul W. Downs.

“It all begins and ends with them,” she added. “I love you guys so much. What a ride this has been.”

Widow’s Bay star Matthew Rhys won lead actor in a limited series early in the show Monday night for another show, The Beast in Me.

“This is a real shock, not least because the caliber and company of the actors in this program. We had a holy trinity of scribes in the glorious form of Daniel Pearle, Gabe Rotter, and Howard Gordon, who really brought out the beast in all of us,” he said as he accepted his award. “We were guided so beautifully by Antonio Campos, but certainly led ferociously, fiercely, fervently by the incredible Claire Danes. Thank you for letting me join the mystery machine and bringing out the beast. You are an intimidating scene partner, but I’m very grateful for for all this.”

Rhys also made history at this year’s Emmy Awards for winning lead actor in a limited series and a comedy series during the same ceremony.

Sally Field won the Emmy for lead actress in a limited or anthology series or TV movie for her portrayal of Tova Sullivan in the Netflix film, Remarkably Bright Creatures.

“This is not supposed to happen,” the 79-year-old actor said. “The story of an old woman, a young man, and an octopus doesn’t come around a lot.”

“I have been so grateful and so proud to be a part of this community — the arts — for 62 years or something,” she continued. “With art, we matter. Our voices matter. Our diversity, our unique story telling matters.”

She also gave a shout out to Canada, where the film was made, saying, “Blessed Canada, our neighbours, our friends.”

Canadian actor Michael J. Fox received the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award for his advocacy and contributions to Parkinson’s disease research.

“Thank you to everyone involved for this amazing and humbling honour, ” he said.

“Initially, I kept my Parkinson’s diagnosis a secret. I worried that it would affect my work and my relationship with audiences. Would they laugh if they knew I was sick? And then I was stunned by the support I got,” Fox continued. “The support from all of you. It was so uplifting. It made me feel like I could keep doing this and I hadn’t lost what I do and they couldn’t take this away from me. And it’s because you stood up for me, and I really appreciate it.”
