kicks open a locked door and they find Jack Rutter, about to escape through the window.
Rutter, surprised by them, confesses to the murder. He had passed by Baird earlier in Bond Street. Baird, seeing Rutter and Raffles speak to one another, demanded information on Raffles from Rutter; Rutter persuaded Baird to first take him to Baird's house. Once there, Rutter eventually threatened Baird with a poker. Baird fired on Rutter with a revolver. Rutter dodged, and killed Baird. Rutter wants to turn himself in, but Raffles is determined to save all three of them. He and Bunny drag Rutter away; by foot and by cab, they return to Bunny's rooms. Raffles then takes Rutter to the Chelsea studio, and | 6,133,600 |

# Adaptations.
BBC Radio adapted part of the story into the fifth episode of its Raffles radio drama, "Wilful Murder or The Return Match", which first aired on 17 November 1985. The drama features Jeremy Clyde as Raffles and Michael Cochrane as Bunny. The first half of the episode follows many elements of the original story, with some changes:
- In the drama, there is no Jack Rutter, and Baird doesn't encounter anyone while following Raffles. Accordingly, Baird follows Raffles and Bunny all the way to their club, and even asks about them there. The murder itself will eventually be committed instead by Crawshay, who flees the scene of the crime alone.

Enith Clarke
Kathleen Eileen Doris Enith Clarke (1911–1995) was an Australian pianist, noted for achieving considerable critical success in the 1940s.
# Career.
Born in Rockhampton, Queensland, Enith Clarke showed early promise as a teenager by achieving considerable local success in the piano categories at the annual Rockhampton Eisteddfod throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. Later in her career, Clarke returned to the Rockhampton Eisteddfod and donated a special prize for the open piano section as a way to show her appreciation for the event that helped start her career.
In Rockhampton, Clarke received piano lessons from acclaimed local music teacher and soprano Florence A Sandberg, who | 6,133,605 |
55514256 | Enith Clarke | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enith%20Clarke | Enith Clarke
herself was a former student of noted Czech-born violinist Louis D'Hage.
Through successful examinations, Clarke achieved Associate in Music, Australia and the Associate of the London College of Music (ACLM) diplomas and her talents were soon receiving interest from the likes of Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Arthur Rubinstein and Wilhelm Backhaus.
In the early 1930s, Clarke relocated to Sydney to study under Russian-born pianist Alexander Sverjensky. During this time, Clarke also began performing with the ABC's live broadcasting orchestras on radio stations 4QG in Brisbane and 2BL in Sydney, marking the start of Clarke's long association with the Australian Broadcasting Commission.
Having been coached | 6,133,606 |
55514256 | Enith Clarke | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enith%20Clarke | Enith Clarke
under Curt Prerauer and Maurice Abravanel with the ABC Orchestra, Clarke began an association with Alfred Hill during her time attending the Alfred Hill Academy of Music. Clarke made her concert debut on 21 July 1936 playing Liszt's Concerto in A major. Hill also arranged for Clarke to perform with Ernest Llewellyn for the first public performance of a sonata Hill had composed for violin and piano. Following her performance of Liszt's Concerto, Hill sent a letter to Rockhampton mayor Robert William Evans, in an attempt to "solicit" the assistance of the people of Rockhampton in helping Enith Clarke with her career as, according to Hill, she deserved all possible encouragement as she would prove | 6,133,607 |
55514256 | Enith Clarke | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enith%20Clarke | Enith Clarke
to be a credit to her native city.
Enith Clarke's career peaked in the 1940s when she received mostly positive reviews of her work in the Sydney and Melbourne press, including from English critic Neville Cardus.
In 1948, at the suggestion of Claudio Arrau Clarke went overseas to further her studies, where she received daily three-hour lessons in Lausanne from Alfred Cortot, who praised Clarke's ability and technique. Clarke also received lessons from Walter Gieseking.
In 1948, Clarke said one of her biggest ambitions to have been realised was playing as a soloist with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Eugene Goossens, who Clarke believed to be the best conductor in Australia. Goossens | 6,133,608 |
55514256 | Enith Clarke | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enith%20Clarke | Enith Clarke
expressed his admiration for Clarke's piano playing.
# Personal life.
Clarke was a daughter of English immigrants Charles and Susan Clarke (née Aplin) who had sailed to Australia on a year-long voyage from England, leaving in April 1887 and arriving in Rockhampton in April 1888, and marrying upon their arrival. Charles Clarke gained work in Rockhampton as a local butcher, owning his own business and retiring when he reached the age of 74. Enith Clarke's parents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 1948.
Aside from music, Clarke was known for being a competent aircraft pilot, often using planes to visit friends on remote stations in rural areas.
Shooting and fencing were other known | 6,133,609 |

hobbies.
Clarke had a superstition of always having a gold horseshoe tied in a handkerchief while giving piano recitals.
## Marriage to Sverjensky.
In 1943, Clarke became engaged to her former teacher, Alexander Sverjensky, who had given her a scholarship after she arrived in Sydney.
The marriage between Clarke and Sverjensky came to an abrupt end when Svejensky filed for divorce in December 1950 after accusing Clarke of committing adultery with three different men during their marriage.
The three co-respondents originally named in the suit were Arthur Selwyn Hurd, former police officer Emil Norton Davis and former Consul for Portugal Alvaro Brilhante Laborinho. Hurd denied the charge, | 6,133,610 |
55514256 | Enith Clarke | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enith%20Clarke | Enith Clarke
and he was dismissed from the suit with Sverjensky ordered to pay his court costs.
Sverjensky was granted a decree nisi after the judge ruled that Clarke had committed adultery with Davis at Surfers Paradise in January 1946, and that Davis had also committed adultery. It was also found that Clarke had committed adultery with Laborinho in Sydney, in February 1948. However, the judge did not find that Laborinho had committed adultery with Clarke.
The evidence presented during the divorce case, including discussions about nude photos, a suspected pregnancy and letters containing references to a "sugar daddy", provided substantial material for the tabloid press including Sydney's "The Sun".

# Later years.
Following her public divorce, Clarke's piano playing career failed to reach the heights it did in the 1940s, and she spent some years teaching piano at schools in Sydney such as Abbotsleigh and Meriden throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, before returning to Queensland.
However, Clarke did travel overseas in 1952 to play background music in three films released by a French film company, and to appear on BBC Television.
Enith Clarke died in 1995. | 6,133,612 |

The Rockefeller Foundation Economic Council on Planetary Health
The Rockefeller Foundation Economic Council on Planetary Health at the Oxford Martin School was established on 1 June 2017 to further define the new discipline of planetary health. Its mandate is to explore the economic link between human health and the earth’s natural systems on which health depends. By the end of 2019, it must recommend actionable public policy on this link.
The Council, made up of world leaders from government, international organizations, civil society, business, finance and academia, will meet several times throughout the 18 months of its mandate to develop specific recommendations and a decision-making framework | 6,133,613 |

that balances economic development with ecosystem protection, while promoting human health and well-being.
The Council is hosted at the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford.
# Background.
The Rockefeller Foundation is a private foundation, with a stated mission of "promoting the well-being of humanity throughout the world." The Oxford Martin School is a research and policy unit based in the Social Sciences Division of the University of Oxford. Together, they have joined forces to build the new and emerging field of planetary health. Planetary health examines "the relationship between human health and the natural systems on which it depends."

health approach was established in a July 2015 report in The Lancet, “Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch,” wherein the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission on planetary health detailed the ways in which the degradation of natural systems harms the health of individuals, families and communities around the world. The report made several recommendations for how to do this, including having integrated social, economic and environmental policies, and better governance.
The role of the Economic Council on Planetary Health will be to provide advice and recommendations for how to reach these goals. The Council will meet several times a year to explore the economic link between | 6,133,615 |

human health and environmental change; increase existing scientific planetary health evidence by providing leaders and policy-makers with economic data for protecting human health through the preservation of the earth’s natural systems; and recommend the necessary economic policy reforms.
By the end of 2019, the Council is expected to produce a report that will recommend actionable public policy for governments and institutions on advancing planetary health.
The Rockefeller Foundation will provide $15 million toward establishing the pillars of a new planetary health discipline. Other organizations are also contributing to the emerging field, including the Planetary Health Alliance (PHA).

Blackbull is a locality in the Shire of Croydon, Queensland, Australia.
# Geography.
The Gulf Developmental Road passes through the locality from the south-east to the south-west. The Normanton to Croydon railway line runs immediately parallel to it with the locality being served by the Blackbull railway siding. The only service that operates on the railway line is the weekly Gulflander, which operates as a tourist attraction and includes a morning tea stop at the Blackbull railway siding.
The Carron River "flows" through the locality from south-east to north-west, although in the dry season it is just a string of waterholes. It is a tributary of the Norman River which | 6,133,620 |

The Carron River "flows" through the locality from south-east to north-west, although in the dry season it is just a string of waterholes. It is a tributary of the Norman River which flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria.
# History.
The locality takes its name from the Blackbull railway siding on Normanton to Croydon railway line. The railway siding was originally called Pattersons siding, but was renamed in 1891, reportedly after a black bull found during mustering by William and Joseph Taaffe. | 6,133,621 |

Siege of Rhodes (1444)
The Siege of Rhodes was a military engagement involving the Knights Hospitaller and Mamluk Sultanate. The Mamluk fleet landed on the island of Rhodes on 10 August 1444, besieging its citadel. Clashes took place on the western walls of the city and at the Mandraki harbor. On 18 September 1444, the Mamluks departed from the island and lifted siege.
# Background.
The Order of the Hospital (Knights Hospitaller) was founded in Jerusalem in 1070. It was to became one of the most important military orders. In 1291, the Fall of Acre forced the Order to move its base from the Holy Lands to Limassol in Cyprus. Cyprus offered limited economic opportunities, making the Order dependent | 6,133,622 |

on donations from Western Europe and involved them in quarrels with King Henry II of Cyprus, while the loss of Acre and the Holy Land led to widespread questioning on the purpose of the monastic orders, and proposals to confiscate their possessions. Foulques de Villaret was elected as Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller in 1305, immediately beginning preparation for the conquest of Rhodes, which would ensure him a liberty of action that he could not have as long as the Order remained on Cyprus, and would provide a new base for war against the Turks.
Although the island was a Byzantine possession, the Empire seemed to be unable to fully protect its territorial integrity. Foulques de Villaret | 6,133,623 |
55514336 | Siege of Rhodes (1444) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Siege%20of%20Rhodes%20(1444) | Siege of Rhodes (1444)
entered into a contract with a Genoese mercenary Vignolo de' Vignoli who agreed to assist the Hospitallers in return for privileges on the newly conquered island. On 23 June, Villaret and Vignolo sailed from Limassol, with two war galleys and four other vessels, carrying a force of 35 Knights, six Levantine horsemen, and 500 foot soldiers. To them were added some Genoese ships. Once the initial assault on the city of Rhodes failed, the Hospitallers focused on the island's countryside which they managed to conquer within a month. The defenders of the citadel offered staunch resistance repelling numerous attacks, until its eventual fall on 15 August 1310.
The Hospitallers then moved their convent | 6,133,624 |
55514336 | Siege of Rhodes (1444) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Siege%20of%20Rhodes%20(1444) | Siege of Rhodes (1444)
and hospital from Cyprus to Rhodes, and resettled the island. Their hold on the island was solidified through the enforcement of a papal ban on trade between Christian states and Mamluk Egypt. Genoese and Venetian trading routes were cut in the process, whilst Karpathos and Leros were added to the order's domain. The Hospitallers scored victories against Muslim rivals at Amorgos and Chios in 1312 and 1319 respectively. In 1320, the order's navy thwarted a Turkish invasion of the island by halting the advance of the Turkish 80 vessel fleet.
In the winter of 1443, Grand Master Jean de Lastic sent a letter to the King of Aragon Alfonso V of Aragon lamenting the hardships faced by the order and | 6,133,625 |
55514336 | Siege of Rhodes (1444) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Siege%20of%20Rhodes%20(1444) | Siege of Rhodes (1444)
requesting that its members residing on his possessions return to Rhodes to protect it. Alfonso acted as a patron of the Order, closely collaborating with the two previous Masters who were both of Catalan origin. The Duke of Burgundy Philip the Good and Pope Eugene IV were among those who provided the Hospitallers with auxiliary ships and supplies on their way back to Rhodes. In the meantime, a Mamluk fleet had already set sail towards the same destination.
# Siege.
In August 1444, a Mamluk force under Aynal Gecut landed at the Hospitaller held island of Kastellorizo, razing its castle before departing for Rhodes. On 10 August, the Mamluk fleet consisting of 85 ships appeared in the channel | 6,133,626 |

between Rhodes and Asia Minor. The Mamluks landed at the north–western edge of the island, north of Trianta. Facing no resistance they captured positions adjacent to the Rhodes citadel, and began firing arrows at the city's defenders who responded in kind. The following day, the Mamluks focused their attention on the western side of the castle, especially the poorly defended gate of Agios Antonios, bombarding it with their artillery. A second Mamluk column raided the Mandraki port to the east of the castle, destroying numerous ships and causing heavy casualties to their crews. Once the gate was secured the Grand Master ordered a foray into Mandraki. French and Catalan members of the order pushed | 6,133,627 |

the Mamluks out of the harbor, slaying many and forcing others to flee. Hostilities were halted for a period of time as the two forces reorganized. On 10 September, the Hospitallers attacked the Santa Maria outpost south–west of the Agios Antonios gate. Heavy fighting ensued and the Mamluks eventually withdrew taking their dead and wounded with them. On 13 September, the Mamluks packed their tents and lifted the siege contrary to the orders of their sultan, leaving for the location of their initial landing. Jean de Lastic proposed conducting an assault on the Mamluks in order to disrupt their withdrawal, however his military council rejected the plan. On 18 September, the Mamluks finished embarking | 6,133,628 |

them. On 13 September, the Mamluks packed their tents and lifted the siege contrary to the orders of their sultan, leaving for the location of their initial landing. Jean de Lastic proposed conducting an assault on the Mamluks in order to disrupt their withdrawal, however his military council rejected the plan. On 18 September, the Mamluks finished embarking on their ships and headed to the direction of Asia Minor.
# Aftermath.
Despite the success of the Hospitallers in the 1480 siege of the island, Rhodes became increasingly isolated from other Christian states. It was ultimately conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1522, forcing the Order to once again relocate their headquarters to Malta. | 6,133,629 |

Pelican Lake Indian Residential School
The Pelican Lake Indian Residential School, also known as known as Pelican Falls Indian Residential School, or Sioux Lookout Indian Residential School, was a Canadian Indian Residential School that operated from 1929 through 1969. While it was in operation the school took Ojibway and Cree students from both Treaty Three and Treaty Nine territories in northern Ontario and eastern Manitoba. Former students of the school have reported experiencing physical, psychological, and sexual abuse while attending the school.
# History.
Also known as Sioux Lookout Indian Residential School, Pelican Lake Indian Residential School was established in 1926 and officially | 6,133,656 |
55514458 | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pelican%20Lake%20Indian%20Residential%20School | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School
opened in 1929. The school was one of the approximately three dozen schools operated by the Anglican Church of Canada. It was the state-enforced Indian Residential School for Ojibway and Cree students from both Treaty Three and Treaty Nine territories in northern Ontario and eastern Manitoba. When it initially opened it housed a total of 125 both boys and girls, but this number increased to 150 by the late 1940s. As like most residential schools, the school was designed in a way that the male and female students had limited interaction with each other. Usually students were removed from their families and brought to the school when they were six years old and stayed until they were twelve.
When | 6,133,657 |
55514458 | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pelican%20Lake%20Indian%20Residential%20School | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School
it first opened, the school was a half-day in the classroom, and half-day doing general labor. This labor was gendered with young boys doing physical labour such as carpentry and the girls doing more domestic tasks such as laundry and cooking. In 1947 the school transitioned to a full day school system. As documented by the Church itself, the conditions of the school were poor. In 1946 the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada set up an Indian Work Investigation Commission to review and raise the standards in its schools. After a three-year investigation it was recommended that Pelican Lake be closed as it was deemed substandard. The Anglican Bishop at the time successfully lobbied | 6,133,658 |
55514458 | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pelican%20Lake%20Indian%20Residential%20School | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School
to keep the school in operation.
Pelican Lake Residential School closed in 1969.
# Abuse and lawsuit.
Many former students of Pelican Lake describe experiencing physical, psychological and sexual abuse while at the school. Physical abuse came in many different forms including: poor living conditions, and corporal punishments for speaking your traditional language. Rather than attending class, some students were required to spend the day doing labour. Psychological abuse began with the act of taking the students who were small children away from their families. This abuse continued within the school and included actions such as public humiliation for bed wetting. Many residential school survivors | 6,133,659 |
55514458 | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pelican%20Lake%20Indian%20Residential%20School | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School
also were the victims of sexual abuse in various forms. Over a dozen students from Pelican Lake have come forward stating they were sexually assaulted while attending the school.
The lasting impacts of residential schools also includes the heightened rate of disability amongst Indigenous peoples compared to non-Indigenous peoples. Abuse suffered in residential schools continue to impact the mental health of Indigenous communities. Indigenous peoples also experience a heightened rate of disability due to heightened “rates of injury, accident, violence, self-destructive or suicidal behaviour and illness.” These heightened statistics are a result of the negative health impacts of residential schools | 6,133,660 |
55514458 | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pelican%20Lake%20Indian%20Residential%20School | Pelican Lake Indian Residential School
for the survivors and the subsequent generations in the family.
In 1996 Leonard Hands, an Anglican priest who worked at the school during the 1960s was charged with 19 counts of indecent assault. He entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to four years in prison. The case was initiated by Garnet Angeconeb who was one of the first individuals to begin publicly discussing the abuse they had suffered at the school. Hands remains the only individual who has been held criminally responsible for their role in the Pelican Lake Residential School.

increase in the role of sports teams at many residential schools, as government policy surrounding the goals of residential schools themselves changed. Rather than trying to eliminate Indigenous peoples, the schools goal was to push Indigenous individuals to integrate into society. Hockey was seen as a way to assert more control over the pupils. Named the Sioux Black Hawks, the team of all boys started with no experience skating. The team was initiated by Gifford Swartman, superintendent of the town's Indian agency, and telephone company owner Art Schade. The students were provided equipment with assistance from local businesses and an outdoor rink was built to help them prepare for play against | 6,133,662 |

Sioux and District Bantam league. After a couple years of playing against neighboring Indigenous and non-Indigenous the team improved, and began winning competitions.
In the spring of 1951 the Department of Indian Affairs paid for the team to go on a tour of southern Ontario. Although the Department of Indian Affairs stated there were not enough funds to adequately improve the conditions of the school, the team travelled to Ottawa and Toronto. The team and the trip were publicized and was used by administrators as a way to promote the school. The travelling team consisted of 10 Ojibway and 3 Cree students including Albert Carpenter, Ernie Wesley and Jerry Ross. Swartman, Sioux Lookout mayor | 6,133,663 |

In 1978, the Pelican Lake Residential School was torn down. Today in its place sits the Pelican Falls First Nations High School and Centre (PFFNHS). PFFNHS services students from 24 First Nation Communities and is controlled by local First Nations.
In 2004, the "Pelican Residential School Monument and Memorial Garden" was opened. The monument was funded by both the Aboriginal Healing Fund, and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. | 6,133,664 |

Cappagh, County Kerry
Cappagh (Irish:"An Cheapaigh") is a townland of County Kerry, Ireland.
It is one of the sixteen ancient townlands of the parish of Kilflynn. It consists of a strip of land lying in the middle of the parish extending to its southern border. The northern part is crossed by the N69 Tralee-Listowel road and is bordered by tributaries of the Shannow river. The eastern border lies along the Cloonnafinneela road. The townland consists of 210 hectares (518 acres) of largely rural land.
Immediately to the south of Cappagh stand the 31 turbines of the Tursillagh I and II wind farms, with a total nominal power of 22,080 megawatts.

Cappagh was originally owned by Thomas Stack, of the Stack family whose name is well-established in the area. Because of his support for the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and the Catholic Confederation, his land was confiscated by Cromwell's forces after the Act for the Settlement of Ireland in 1652.

1961 Columbia Lions football team
The 1961 Columbia Lions football team represented Columbia University in the 1961 college football season as a member of the Ivy League. The Lions were led by fifth-year head coach Aldo Donelli and played their home games at Baker Field. The Lions finished the season 6–3 overall and 6–1 in Ivy League play to win Columbia's first and only Ivy League championship, sharing the title with Harvard.
Although Columbia had accumulated an Ivy record of 4–10 in the previous two seasons, expectations for the team in 1961 were high; the "Columbia Spectator" wrote before the season, "[i]f practically no one gets hurt, if a few key sophomores come through, and most important | 6,133,676 |

of all, if [Aldo] Donelli's nineteen experienced seniors get fighting mad, then no Ivy League squad will have a chance against the Lions."
The Lions began the season on the road against Ivy League foe Brown, whom they defeated in one of the most lopsided victories in Columbia Lions history, but followed up with a homecoming defeat against Princeton; despite this, Princeton's head coach, Dick Colman, said, "I'll tell you this much–they had the better team." Although the team had led the Tigers 14–0, depth was and remained an issue throughout the season for the Lions; Columbia had only 14 players that consistently played and, as was common in the era, did not have separate offensive and defensive | 6,133,677 |

for the Lions; Columbia had only 14 players that consistently played and, as was common in the era, did not have separate offensive and defensive units. The team entered the penultimate week of the season having to defeat Penn to win a share of the conference title. Playing without their captain, Bill Campbell, who had been injured, the Lions defeated the Quakers 37–6. Five members of the team were awarded All-Ivy honors following the season: Bob Asack, Lee Black, Tony Day, Tom Haggerty, and Russ Warren. In 2006, the 1961 Columbia Lions football team became the fourth sports team to be inducted into the Columbia University Athletics Hall of Fame, in recognition of their championship season. | 6,133,678 |

Canada's Worst Driver 13
Canada's Worst Driver 13 was the thirteenth and the second-last season of the Canadian reality TV show "Canada's Worst Driver," which aired on the Discovery Channel. As with previous years, eight people, nominated by their family or friends, enter the Driver Rehabilitation Centre to improve their driving skills. The focus of this season was on the Fears of Driving and the number 13. This year, the Driver Rehabilitation Centre is located at the Dunnville Airport in Dunnville, Ontario for the eighth straight season. The initial drive started in St. Catharines, Ontario and the final road test occurred in Hamilton, Ontario.

psychotherapist and relationship expert, a position which has become more demanding each year since joining the show in "Canada's Worst Driver 7," as the stresses in driving and everyday life seem to always be on the increase.
- Tim Danter is the show's head driving instructor, a position he has held since joining the show in "Canada's Worst Driver 8." In this position, he not only gives the drivers help and instructions for challenges, but gives them further lessons off-screen.
# Contestants.
- Adam Bourré, 25 and licensed for eight years, from Kitchener, Ontario, is a grocery store clerk who lost his confidence behind the wheel after he skidded on ice and nearly slid into a mailbox. This | 6,133,682 |

has caused him such anxiety that he often has to pull over during the short drive to work in order to relax and his father, Pat Bourré, has nominated him out of concern that his stress issues may cost his son his dream job as a Chauffeured Limousine Driver. He drives a silver Hyundai Elantra.
- Ashley Dunne, 26, from The Goulds, Newfoundland and Labrador, only recently earned a driving license and the stress of driving causes her to have severe trouble even managing the short, familiar drive to work, to say nothing of driving elsewhere. Her story is all too familiar to that of her friend, "Canada's Worst Driver 11" "winner" Jillian Kieley (née Matthews), who has become the first contestant | 6,133,683 |

from a previous season to return as the nominator of a new contestant. She drives a black Hyundai Tucson and drove a black Ford Escape to the rehab centre.
- Shayne Greer, 36 and licensed for three years, from Nepean, Ontario (near Ottawa), was involved in a serious traffic accident in 1994 at the age of 13, nearly costing him his legs. He subsequently spent many years recuperating and didn't learn how to drive until 2014, only to have an accident within weeks after getting his license and his first car. He is currently living with his sister, Shanna Boudreau, who wants Shayne to have the independence he has never known, especially so that he can more easily visit his new girlfriend in Ottawa. | 6,133,684 |

He drives a silver Chevrolet Sonic hatchback.
- Mélanie Lautard, 27, from Oromocto, New Brunswick (near Fredericton), is a single mother of four who used to rely on her ex-husband to do all the family's driving, but has now found herself tasked with that responsibility following her divorce. Her inexperience and panicky nature has led her best friend, Christina Harrison, to nominate her. She drives a black Dodge Grand Caravan, modified for one of her daughters.
- Travis Murray, 36, from Edmonton, Alberta, only recently earned a driving license after 17 years with a learner's permit, yet he never made a real effort to get one after moving out of his parents' home, only taking the test when | 6,133,685 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
his wife, Apryl Murray, threatened not to marry him until he got a full license (though she still did, even though he failed the test badly). With the couple thinking of starting a family, Apryl has brought him to rehab in an effort to finally get him a proper driving education. He drives a black Fiat 500L and drove a gray Kia Rio to the rehab centre.
- Joe Palozzi, 50, from Maple, Ontario (near Toronto), sees the road as his personal racing circuit and is prone to speeding, road raging, running red lights and many other moving violations. His business partner, Tony Mancini, no longer feels safe being in the car with him and brought him to rehab with hopes that rehab will make him see that | 6,133,686 |

he isn't as good of a driver as he thinks. He drives a white Ford F-350 work truck.
- Breanna Pratley, 19, from Milton, Ontario (near Toronto), is a university student who finds driving a highly stressful experience, in part due to her being used to being in control of situations, something that doesn't translate to sharing the road with other drivers and also because she was involved in an accident three years ago. Her grandmother, Georgina (known as "Baba" G on the show), wants to see her get over her fears and gain her independence. She drives a blue BMW X5.
- Julie Wrzesien, 37, from Edmonton, Alberta, has earned herself the nickname "Crash" for her accident-prone nature behind the wheel, | 6,133,687 |

having been in about 16 accidents, writing off four cars (although she told Andrew before heading for rehab she was in 13 accidents). Her best friend, Lara Petersen, no longer sees Julie's bad driving as a laughing matter and has nominated her for the sake of her five-year-old son. She drives a white Toyota 4Runner and drove a white Toyota RAV4 to the rehab centre.
# Synopsis.
### "It All Begins Now".
- The Drive to Rehab: This season, the journey to the Driver Rehabilitation Centre starts from Royal Canadian Legion 358 in St. Catharines, Ontario, with seven of the eight drivers (Travis is not present due to being at a family wedding and is represented by a cardboard cutout) having to make | 6,133,688 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
their way there via provided directions, a journey that Andrew notes should take an average driver like himself around 90 minutes. The contestants depart in the following order: Breanna (with Andrew making her go first so as to confront her fear of highway driving head-on), Joe, Ashley, Shayne, Mélanie, Adam and Julie. Joe's attitude is the polar opposite of Breanna, as he frequently drives far in excess of the speed limit. Before Ashley leaves, a reunion occurs between Andrew and her nominator, "Canada's Worst Driver 11" "winner" Jillian, who tells Andrew that she can now drive without any issues, leading Andrew to subsequently tell Ashley that Jillian's experience is proof that rehab "does" | 6,133,689 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
work. Despite this, Ashley proves even more nervous than Breanna did, constantly asking Jillian to guide her throughout her drive, a trip Andrew narrates after Ashley arrives at rehab saw her cry 14 separate times. Shayne proves to be slow and generally inattentive throughout his drive, running more than one red light in the process, though Shayne openly admits that his inability to concentrate is his biggest issue; when he arrives at rehab, Andrew tells him that they'll be booking him a medical examination as soon as possible, due to fears that he may have sustained an undiagnosed brain injury during his childhood accident. Mélanie is another driver with confidence issues throughout her drive, | 6,133,690 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
though despite her own dire predictions, her drive is relatively uneventful. Similarly, Adam is extremely anxious about possibly getting into an accident, but he manages to make it to rehab without any major issues. Julie is the final driver to depart the parking lot and she quickly gets into trouble by missing a required turn, then committing an illegal 90° turn in the middle of the intersection to get back on track. Most of the drivers get to rehab safely, but Breanna's nerves ultimately prove too severe and her cameraman has to take over partway through the drive; it's also implied that Joe's habitual speeding would have caused his drive to be stopped, if not for his two-seater work truck | 6,133,691 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
being unable to seat a cameraman. Everyone makes a large number of moving violations on the way to rehab and the contestants arrive in the following order: Joe (speeding the whole way), Ashley (who cried 14 times), Melanie, Adam, Breanna (whose nerves proved too severe to continue driving), Julie (who missed a required turn, then committed an illegal 90° turn) and Shayne (never at the limit the whole trip).
- First to Arrive: Joe was the second to leave, but the first to arrive.
- Last to Arrive: Shayne was the last.
- Slowest to Arrive: Shayne was also the slowest to arrive.
- Fastest to Arrive: Joe was the fastest to arrive.
- Camaro Challenge: Basic Assessment: In a move that Andrew | 6,133,692 |

predicts will once again earn the ire of car enthusiasts, the show has purchased another brand-new supercar for use as the recurring challenge car, namely a 2017 model Camaro. While the challenge remains in the same format that has been in use since "Canada's Worst Driver Ever," by starting out with a reversing course made up of wheel rims, then having to turn the car around in a turning area made up of concrete barriers and blocks, followed by a slalom at 50 km/h around five foam figurines, the challenge is made a little easier by the wheel rim course and concrete barrier sections being wider than in previous years and the drivers being afforded use of the Camaro's reversing camera, which the | 6,133,693 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
previous challenge cars did not feature. Julie is first to take the challenge and gets through the wheel rims with only a couple of hits, but her overly hasty driving causes her to dent and scrape the car noticeably in the barriers, before clipping a foam person, then panicking and locking up the brakes in the slalom. Travis, who has finally arrived at rehab, proves incredibly slow and takes 22 minutes just to complete the reversing course, while still knocking most of the course down. He fares better while turning the car around, which he manages with comparatively few hits, but his erratically pumping the accelerator causes him to hit all but one of the foam figures in the slalom. Adam's performance | 6,133,694 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
is mostly the same as Julie's in the first two sections, with only a few hits while reversing, but more than a few scrapes while turning the car around. After three attempts at taking the slalom which prove far too slow (though without any hits), his fourth attempt goes perfectly and he becomes the first driver to pass at least one segment. Breanna's run proves the worst so far, causing several hits while reversing (despite being one of the only drivers to know what front-end swing is without needing it explained) causing more scrapes in the concrete barriers than all the previous drivers and hitting a foam person in the slalom despite being far too slow. Shayne gets through the reversing course | 6,133,695 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
with only a few minor hits, but causes even more damage than Breanna did while turning around in the concrete section and then drives too fast in the slalom, causing him to hit two foam figurines dead-on. Mélanie's run turns out to be particularly poor; forced to take the reversing section without Christina, she knocks over more wheel rims than any of the previous drivers, then severely damages the Camaro's driver-side door in the concrete barriers, before speeding in the slalom and hitting two foam figurines after becoming target-fixated upon them. Joe's run is one of the better ones, passing the reversing section with no trouble and then only having one hit while turning the car around, but | 6,133,696 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
he starts out too fast and then ends up too slow in the slalom, before deliberately fishtailing the car at the end of the track, earning both Andrew's and Cam's ire. Ashley relies too heavily on the reversing camera and does poorly in the reversing section, before managing to cause even more damage to the car in the concrete blocks than Mélanie did. Her run then completely falls apart in the slalom, as she speeds and hits every single foam person; Andrew then comments that not only was this the worst performance in any slalom-related challenge in the show's history, Ashley's overall basic assessment performance ranks as one of the worst ever seen on the show, if not the absolute worst.
- Best | 6,133,697 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
Performer: Adam and Joe were the only two people who passed at least one segment of this challenge, but Joe doing slightly better.
- Worst Performer: Ashley did the worst, speeding through the slalom and hitting every single foam person.
In their first meeting with the experts, Mélanie states that she wants to improve as a driver for the sake of her four children, while Shayne is told that, despite what Andrew has told past contestants, slower doesn't necessarily mean safer. Shayne is also willing to admit that he might be Canada's Worst Driver, as are Ashley and Breanna. The other drivers deny that they might be the worst. As is usual for the show, no one graduates in the first episode, as | 6,133,698 |
55514712 | Canada's Worst Driver 13 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada's%20Worst%20Driver%2013 | Canada's Worst Driver 13
this was merely a skills evaluation.
### "Look Here".
- Head-to-Head Reversing: The first real challenge of the season requires two drivers at a time in one 2006 Honda Civic each to reverse down a pair of lanes, turn the car around in a small area lined with wheel rims and then reverse the car down the lane in which they started. Ashley (who had admitted to Tim in her pre-challenge lesson that at home she exclusively relies on her car's rear camera when reversing) and Mélanie (who doesn't even reverse at all at home and gets someone else to do it for her) are the first pair to take the challenge; Mélanie does reasonably well for most of her run and while she gets careless and causes a couple | 6,133,699 |
