Girls gone medieval
HOPES TO START SEASON BY NOV. 2 BY CHRIS JOHNSTON THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Let the serious negotiations begin. After more than a month with no new offers being tabled in collective bargaining talks, the NHL breathed new life into the process Tuesday with a proposal that could kick-start some significant discussions. It calls for a 50-50 split of revenues between owners and players and includes a deferred salary plan designed to ensure that players would receive all the money they’ve been promised in existing contracts. On top of that, the deal was drawn up with an eye to starting a full 82-game regular season Nov. 2. “We have about nine or 10 days to get this all ... signed, sealed and delivered,” said commissioner Gary Bettman, who called the proposed deal “long-term.” A lot will need to be accomplished over that period. However, the unexpected proposal offered fans the first real hint of hope since the lockout began Sept. 15. The sides have met regularly since that time, but their discussions were largely limited to secondary issues. The league eventually grew tired of waiting for a new offer from the NHL Players’ Association and decided to try to move things forward with a proposal of its own. Donald Fehr, the NHLPA’s executive director, spent Tuesday afternoon reviewing the lengthy document and held an evening conference call with about 60 players. His initial reaction to the offer was that it could provide something to work with. “I would like to believe that it will be an excellent starting point and we can go forward and see if there is a deal to be made,” said Fehr. The new offer was greeted with cautious optimism by locked-out players who have had to secure their own ice time to stay in shape during the lockout. Following an informal skate in Vancouver on Tuesday, Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider expressed hope that labour peace could finally be on the horizon. “Both sides were waiting for somebody to make the next move,” said Schneider. “For them to make a move towards us, it at least signals that they are serious about negotiating and getting started. Up until this point, we weren’t fully convinced of that. This is obviously a good step towards that.”

Bud Haines Auctions employee Betty Butcher, in the chainmail hood, and auctioneer Linda Baggaley in a Roman helmet cross swords as they look up at a set of medieval armour Tuesday. An auction company in Red Deer is holding an estate sale this Saturday featuring the collection of Don Cook. Over 150 replica swords and knives, replica firearms, and a collection of replica and authentic military uniforms are entered in the sale.
UPCOMING ESTATE AUCTION FEATURES SWORDS, SUITS OF ARMOUR BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The annual pre-hunting season Bud Haynes & Co. firearms auction is going medieval this year with a collection of reproduction swords and armour. The estate of Don Cook, a master warrant officer and a former instructor for the Sky Hawks Canadian Forces parachute team, has left a collection of more than 150 swords,
14 mannequins in suits of armour and Roman gladiators and other weapons and armour for the auction firm to sell. “This was his collection and we were contacted by the family and they wanted to have it auctioned,” said auctioneer Linda Baggaley. “It’s quite unique, I’ve never seen this many different reproduction medieval swords. A lot of them are just beautiful.” But the swords are just part
of the collection. There are also helmets, chain mail and other armour pieces. The annual fall hunting firearms auction will be held on Saturday at 9 a.m. by Bud Haynes & Co. at their facility, Bay 4 7429 49th Ave. in Red Deer. Prior to the auction, on Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. a free public viewing will take place. “We get the odd reproduction sword, but never over 150 and all of them are different,” said Baggaley.
The diversity of the collection has the auction firm interested in attracting a different group of people, who wouldn’t typically be interested in this type of auction. “There are groups where the guys collect these types of thing,” said Baggaley. “They go out and do presentations, go dressed in armour for different events. It’s another collectors field.”

Demonstration forest offers insights into industry BY RANDY FIEDLER ADVOCATE STAFF Where better to learn forestry, oilpatch development and woodland safety than in a West Country forest? About 100 Rocky Mountain House and Sylvan Lake high school students spent a day at Des Crossley Demonstration Forest hearing firsthand about the industries’ responsibilities and opportunities. Forestry and oilfield workers guided St. Dominic Catholic High and H.J. Cody Schools’ Grades 9 to 11 students on Tuesday as they scaled large machines, calculated tree measurements and ran fire hoses. The Des Crossley forest, a quarter-section 25 km southwest of Rocky, is named for a pioneering forester whose 1950s research found clearcutting the most efficient way to

Group offers voting alternative BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF When Prime Minister Stephen Harper talked about the clear show of support in the last election the reformers of Fair Vote Canada scoff. “Right now, the federal government talks about their strong mandate. But, in fact, it’s a weak mandate,” said Don Hepburn, one of a small group of organizers behind Fair Vote’s fledgling Red Deer Action Team. At just under 40 per cent of the popular vote voting for the Conservative Party, six out of 10 Canadians picked someone from another party, yet the Tories hold 163 of 308 seats. “People get elected with 30 to 35 per cent of the vote, which means two-thirds of the people didn’t vote for them,” Hepburn said. Fair Vote Canada wants to change our traditional first-
‘PEOPLE GET ELECTED WITH 30 TO 35 PER CENT OF THE VOTE, WHICH MEANS TWOTHIRDS OF THE PEOPLE DIDN’T VOTE FOR THEM.’ — DON HEPBURN OF FAIR VOTE’S RED DEER ACTION TEAM
past-the-post system to one in which political parties gain seats in close proportion to their popular support. As a kick-off meeting for the new group on Tuesday evening, retired University of Alberta political scientist Paul Johnston was invited to discuss the merits and shortcomings of proportional representation versus our current electoral system. Johnston makes it clear from the outset that changing the system won’t be easy. Polls have shown two out of three Canadians are fine with the status quo.
“So you’ve got a barrier there to start with when you talk about electoral reform,” said Johnston in his talk at the Red Deer Public Library’s Snell Auditorium that drew about 20 people. Fairness is the biggest benefit of proportional representation. If a party wins 40 per cent of the votes, it gets 40 per cent of the seats. It also creates more exciting electoral races because smaller parties have a shot at winning seats. Adding more parties to the mix also takes attention away
from leaders of the big frontrunning parties and opens the field to more discussion on the policies of each party. The knock on proportional representation is that it is complicated and hard to understand. Johnston dismisses that as an insult to the intelligence of voters, noting the system works perfectly well in many countries. World-wide, about 90 countries use some form of proportional representation. However, it does make it harder for a party to attain an outright majority, he acknowledges. Those who support the firstpast-the-post system often argue it creates stable governments because it allows for “manufactured majorities,” in which a party doesn’t have to win more than 50 per cent of the votes to hold more than half the seats. Since 1921, Canada has only
and with a new proposal on the table, there is some optimism that could be coming sooner than later. “What our hope is is that after we review this that there will be a feeling on the players’ side that this is a proposal from which we can negotiate and try and reach a conclusion,” said Fehr. — With files from Monte Stewart in Vancouver
STORIES FROM A1
FOREST: Offers hands-on experience Taylor Palechek, 15, appreciated that. “How they plan everything is nice,” said the Sylvan Lake student. “I’m a big wildlife person so I don’t like seeing the habitat ruined.” Integrating curriculum with industry practices is vital for program success, said Tom Daniels, Sunpine Forest Products’ forestry superintendent. The endorsement was echoed by Sylvan career and technologies teacher Linda Wagers. “The hands-on experience is far beyond what I could do at the school. It brings a whole different perspective to the vastness of the forestry industry.” Career choices are a major program focus. Devon Canada employees explained the road and site construction needed for hundreds of gas wells in the company’s surrounding Ferrier field. ESRD stations covered ranger duties, firefighting and bear identification and safety. An Alberta Forest Products Association’s Work Wild instructor told students that running forestry machinery needs the same eye-hand co-ordination as playing video games — and can be just as much fun. “I found it pretty fun, especially all the equipment they brought out. It was great today,” said Tyler Peterson, 14, of Rocky. rfiedler@reddeeradvocate.com
NHL: Unclear if league willing to negotiate It wasn’t immediately clear how willing the league is to negotiate off its latest offer. The NHL’s previous proposal called for the players’ revenue share to fall to 47 per cent and tabled a number of restrictive rules governing contracts. According to a source, the only one

Roger Tetreault of Sunpine Forest Products explains how a log skidder works to students Tuesday. Please see related video at www.reddeeradvocate.com. that remains in Tuesday’s proposal is a maximum contract length of five years. The new offer also calls for unrestricted free agency to come into effect at age 28 or after eight years of service — one year later than the last CBA — and keeps entry-level deals at three years. Neither side had made a formal proposal since Sept. 12, and this one came with a heightened sense of urgency from Bettman. The league figures Nov. 2 is the latest it could start a condensed 82-game regular season that would see the Stanley Cup awarded before the end of June. “If we didn’t do it now, if we didn’t put an offer on the table that we thought was fair and could get us playing hockey ... then it probably wasn’t going to happen for a while,” said Bettman. “It’s done in the spirit of getting a full season in.” If the union were to accept the 50-50 split, players would take a financial hit. Based on last year’s league-wide revenues of US$3.3 billion, they would be giving up $231 million annually if their share of that money drops by seven per cent.

had four natural majorities — two each for the Conservatives and the Liberals — when one party picked up more than half the votes. There have been 14 manufactured majority and 10 minority governments in that span. Johnston said the current system’s origins have little to do with stable government and much more to do with centuries of British tradition that simply got passed down to former colonies. Hepburn said the local group hopes to spread the word that another electoral system is worth considering. “We see this as an ongoing educational approach to help people understand what the possibilities are.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate. com
However, it might be a concession they’re willing to make as part of a larger deal. “To Bettman, the percentage is the biggest part,” said Schneider. “To us, it’s one of the few big parts. Contracting and revenue-sharing are other issues for us. But (the percentage) is a hurdle that has to be overcome at some point. So it’s good that we’re heading in the right direction.” The NHL’s third lockout in 18 years has lasted 31 days and already forced the league to push the season back two weeks from its scheduled start of Oct. 11. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly estimated last week that it had cost about US$250 million in lost revenue. The new league offer came one day after the sports blog Deadspin reported the NHL had hired market research firm Luntz Global to conduct a focus group to help shape its message during the lockout. The company’s founder, Frank Luntz, said in a statement that he was trying to gauge how fans felt about the work stoppage. The best public relations for both sides would come from striking a deal
On top of the reproductions pieces, some more recent history will be a part of the auction, but aren’t a part of the Cook collection. “We have some really old items going back to the North West Mounted Police,” said Baggaley. For the auction, they have a fully mechanical mannequin greeter in armour that can speak and talk to people as well as a mechanical fencer. “We’ve never had 14 mannequins in full uniform and over 150 swords,” said Baggaley. “They were a lot of money to be ordered and made to look like the old swords.” Cook had the collection mounted in a Quonset he had converted into a house. “It’s nice the whole collection is together and didn’t get picked over,” said Baggaley. “Some of these helmets retailed for $300 or $400. I know some of the suits of armour, we were looking on the Internet, and some of them are $3,000 and $4,000 to order.” Retail prices aside, Baggaley said she doesn’t really know how much they will fetch at auction. “It’s hard to say what the market will do,” said Baggaley. “But with this big a collection, it should bring people that probably normally don’t come to firearms auctions.” “A lot of people come down just to see some of the things,” said Baggaley. “Most people have never held a reproduction sword in their hands. They have a good weight to them, they’re made to look like the old ones, some are pretty dressed up.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Rimbey seniors say dialysis unit needed BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF
QUEUE JUMPING INQUIRY
A dialysis unit at Rimbey Hospital would improve access for area residents, say Rimbey area seniors who are attending preliminary hearings related to health services queue jumping. Lorna Diggle of Rimbey and Irene Kurta-Lovell of Bluffton took part in hearings in Edmonton on Tuesday. The hearings are leading up to a provincial government inquiry on queue jumping. Shortly after returning from a trip to the courthouse in Edmonton, Diggle said they wanted to stress why such a renal dialysis unit would be so beneficial. The women are members of the Renal Dialysis Rimbey Support Group, an
organization created about five years ago. Neither is on dialysis. “We believe that the cities have preferential access because it’s easier for the people in the cities to get to a treatment centre, whereas people in the country around Rimbey have to travel to Red Deer or Rocky Mountain House,” said Diggle “Some of them aren’t up for the driving and there’s no public transportation.” Diggle said there was one serious crash last year where someone ended up in hospital for several months with a broken hip. “He was too tired coming home (from the dialysis treatment) and went off the road,” she said.
Kurta-Lovell said that rural areas have more difficulty in obtaining access. “It’s not that I believe every small town should have state-of-the-art medical care,” she said. “However, essential medical care is an absolute requirement for small centres, and that it also be done in a safe manner.” Kurta-Lovell said that those on kidney dialysis must have it to live. Those who live in a rural area must drive several times a week to get the necessary treatment. “If there is a blizzard or an ice storm, it doesn’t matter. Your life depends on getting that dialysis treatment.” The women will find out in a couple of weeks if they will be allowed to take part in the inquiry as interveners. Kurta-Lovell doesn’t hold great
expectations that they’ll be asked to come as interveners, where they can cross-examine witnesses. “However, I am looking forward to providing a written presentation,” she said. The hearings will run for two weeks in Edmonton, starting on Dec. 2, and two weeks in Calgary, in January. John Vertes, who retired last year as senior judge of the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories, will head the inquiry. The inquiry is independent and can compel witnesses to testify, but it is not a court of law. The judge must determine if some Albertans are using fear or favour to allow themselves or others to leapfrog to the top of waiting lists for medical procedures and, if so, to recommend what can be done to stop it. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com
City council rules out setting up sports commission After debating the merits of setting up a local sports commission to oversee boxing and other fighting events, Red Deer City Council handed down a no decision. Council circled the issue for some time before tabling it on Monday after several councillors expressed doubt about whether the city should be getting into the boxing game by setting up its own commission. “I’m really struggling with why we would want to,” said Coun. Lynne Mulder. “That’s where I am right now.” City staff recommended a local boxing commission be established after they were asked by the governance and policy committee to identify the
risk, benefits and costs. Many Alberta municipalities have their own commissions, which are required in order to hold sanctioned combative sports events, such as boxing matches or mixed martial arts events. Until now, Red Deer has relied on outside commissions. However, staff said that approach limited the city’s control over events, increased liability risks, and ran counter to the way the city normally handled such issues. Combative events are among the fastest growing sports, which means there is significant local economic development potential, council was told. “If you choose to be in the business you have to choose how to regulate it,” said Elaine Vincent, the city’s Legislative and Governance Services Department manager.
GuZoo gets new permit THREE HILLS — The Alberta government has issued a new operating permit to a roadside zoo that was to be shut down over animal care concerns. The GuZoo animal farm near Three Hills was ordered closed in the spring of 2011 based on a review that outlined problems with how the zoo was being run. But the Gustafson family, which owns GuZoo, appealed and a judge allowed the zoo to keep operating under strict conditions while the case went through the courts. Last week, the province met with the Gustafsons and decided that the zoo can stay in business as long as it meets certain conditions. Regardless, the owner of the business has decided to keep the doors closed to the general public for now. “I know things are going to get radical, so we’re going to close for the season,” Lynn Gustafson said Tuesday. The animal welfare group Zoocheck Canada
said it is unbelievable that GuZoo has been given permission to stay open given its track record. “It’s absolutely shocking,” Zoocheck spokeswoman Julie Woodyer said from Toronto. “This facility has never been in compliance with Alberta zoo standards since they were developed back in 2005. “The facility is a most notorious Canadian roadside zoo. Probably the worst in Canada, and that’s particularly shocking when Alberta has the best standards in the country, but the province refuses to enforce them.” But Alberta government spokeswoman Jessica Potter said an in-
A project to upgrade Lacombe’s storm water system will lead to the closure of 45th Street off Hwy 2A for almost a month. Access to 45th Street from the highway will be closed from today until Nov. 15. The 45th Street access to Dairy Queen and the Lacombe Centre Mall will remain open. Lacombe has undertaken a major project this year to boost the capacity of its storm water system after heavy rains led to flooding in recent years. The latest round of work involves placing a 1.2-metre pipe under Hwy 2A and the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks to a drainage ditch on the east side. It is expected to be completed by mid-November.

spection of the zoo’s operations in July showed no problems with the health or condition of the animals. “We found no contraventions of the Wildlife Act and no animals were found to be in distress during those inspections,” Potter said. “That’s why we’ve decided to discontinue the judicial review of the decommissioning order and re-permit the zoo.” Woodyer said the wording of that July inspection should be scrutinized. “They didn’t say that the facility was found to be in compliance with the law,” she said. “They said they didn’t see any animals suffering.

Planning, with flexibility Red Deer is a city that likes to plan. And people like me complain that city council spends millions building plans and charters — only to back away from them when the grouches start barking. It’s pretty hard for good ideas to get GREG planted under NEIMAN those conditions. But I have to confess that I benefited from living in a neighbourhood where the grouches were able to intimidate City Hall into backing away from changes planned for my part of this city. Reading Tuesday’s Advocate article Affordable housing rejected, I had to remind myself that people in Clearview Ridge are citizens and ratepayers.
INSIGHT
They have a right to influence how our cherished city plans unfold. After all, citizen influence worked for me. In the big picture, it’s not about the plan anyway. It’s about the goal. The Red Deer Native Friendship Society supports aboriginal people who live away from the reserves in an urban environment, to ensure that everything they know and understand about their culture is not stripped away. Both goals are worthy: helping people survive away from the antiquated and often violent reserves, while keeping all the good parts of their identity. If the current plan doesn’t help everyone reach their goal, we’ll build a new one. Otherwise, someone will just have to compromise. When we bought our house in 1978, we didn’t check the area’s master plan. We just wanted a house we could afford. On moving day, we were greeted by the president of the Waskasoo Ratepayers Association, who asked me for a dollar membership fee. He loaned me an engraver to put my driver’s licence number on our appliances, in
case thieves broke in. Red Deer was worried about appliance crime in the boom of the 1970s. And he promised me the association would pack city council chambers with angry ratepayers, to keep apartment projects out of our neighbourhood. Renters and crime, you know. Today, a new generation of owners is redeveloping Waskasoo, one home reno at a time. In our early years, there was a plan to make a house in Waskasoo into a group home for former Michener residents. Neighbours objected, not even knowing there was already more than one group home in our area, operating peacefully and under everyone’s radar. De-institutionalizing the handicapped ran the route identified by other observers regarding all new ideas in cities: first, it was considered stupid, then radical, then progressive — and at last, obviously necessary. The fearmongering then included outright lying about the dangers handicapped people represented. Plus, parking would become non-existent, prop-
erty values would plummet. Today, we simply accept that group homes are obviously necessary. Red Deer had to be publicly shamed into finding a location for a detox centre for people seeking to get off drugs. Last Sunday, CBC Radio aired a story about Baba Yaga House. It’s a six-storey housing project for women between 60 and 80 in Paris, where the residents do the home care themselves. They make their own rules, cook and clean, help disabled residents — many of the tasks that government pays staff to do. They keep their dignity and independence deep into their final years. This kind of residence is not in any city plan here. Therefore, if we listen to some city councillors and some potential neighbours, Red Deer should never have the like. The goal is for Red Deer to be a modern, efficient, caring, clean, safe city. That’s not negotiable. But the plans are negotiable. The game should not be primarily about what we oppose, but what we support. Greg Neiman is a former Advocate editor.
Nobel booby prize? Maybe they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union because they couldn’t think of anybody else who wouldn’t embarrass them. Nelson Mandela already has one. So does Aung San Suu Kyi. Even Barak Obama has one, though what for is not exactly clear. They even gave it to Henry Kissinger once, but we probably shouldn’t go into that. So who’s left? We’ll just give it to the European Union. Nobody’ll notice that. But they did notice, and some of them were not amused. “A Nobel prize for the EU GWYNNE at a time Brussels and all of DYER Europe is collapsing in misery? What next? An Oscar for (European Council President Herman) Van Rompuy?” asked Geert Wilders, the Dutch eurosceptic. However, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. The original purpose of the Nobel Peace Prize was to honour people who worked to put an end to the terrible wars that have repeatedly devastated the European continent (and much of the rest of the world as well) over the past four centuries. The EU has made a major contribution to that task, but that is not its greatest achievement. It has been 67 years since there was a major war in Europe. More importantly, a war between any of the EU’s members is now quite unthinkable. “This started after the (Second World) war — putting together former enemies,” said EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in an interview with the BBC. “It started with six countries and we are now 27, another one (Croatia) is going to join us next year and more want to come. So the EU is the most important project for peace in terms of transnational, supernational co-operation.” That’s a bit over the top. The United Nations surely has more to do with 67 years in which no great powers have fought each other. So do two generations of American and Soviet officials and politicians who showed great restraint and managed to avoid a nuclear war that would have devastated the whole world. The great virtue of the European Union, despite its “democratic deficit” at the Brussels level, is that all its member countries must be fully democratic, relatively uncorrupt, and fully observant of civil and human rights. Not only has this prevented some members from backsliding into intolerance and authoritarianism in times of great stress; it has also been a huge incentive for prospective members to clean up their act. Would Greece, Spain and Portugal all have ended up as full democracies after overthrowing their old dictators, and in the latter two cases as relatively honest ones as well, if not for the changes they had to make to qualify for EU membership? Would the nine ex-communist countries of Central Europe that emerged from the long night of Soviet tyranny in 1989 have created modern civil societies practically overnight without a great deal of aid from the EU? Would they even have bothered, without the incentive of future EU membership? Would Turkey have striven so hard to entrench respect for civil rights in the law and force the military to retire to their barracks permanently if it had not been offered the prospect (sadly betrayed) of EU membership? The Nobel Peace Prize is a misnomer. It should actually be the Nobel Democracy and Human Rights Prize. Occasionally it goes to some person or organization whose main purpose is building international peace, but much more often it goes to people like Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, and most recently Liu Xiaobo, whose accomplishment, or at least goal, has been to make their own countries democratic and respectful of human rights. And if that is the real criterion, then the European Union truly does deserve the prize. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Central Alberta. Recently in Lacombe, more than 350 area students and adults took part in a walk to raise suicide awareness. One placard carried by a student read You are not alone. Let’s talk. Statistics Canada reports that one in 10 adults in 2009 said their child (aged eight to 17) was being cyberbullied. Before the Internet took over young people’s lives, parents were asked to monitor what their children were watching on television. But in today’s world, dominated as it is by social media, experts say it’s next to impossible to lay down rules. “It’s not feasible to take away a kid’s Internet privileges, because that’s their whole social world,” said Mishna. Amanda Todd’s video asking for help tells how a girl threw her to the ground and punched her several times after somebody in a crowd of about 50 schoolmates “yelled, just punch her already. So she did,” wrote Amanda. “Kids filmed it. I was alone and left on the ground. I felt like a joke in this world . . .

But her plea went unheeded. “My name is Amanda,” read the final card. We should not forget her name, nor the lessons she so desperately wanted us to teach about tolerance, respect and understanding.

Shooting of guard closes border BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. — A female Canadian border guard was shot at one of the busiest crossings in Canada on Tuesday and the gunman died after apparently turning his weapon on himself, RCMP say. The Douglas border crossing, known better as the Peace Arch crossing, was closed in both directions Tuesday afternoon. “The first report at the scene revealed that a male, a lone male, had shot an officer in her booth,� said Cpl. Bert Paquet. “At the instant following the shooting of the officer, the lone male had been pronounced dead at the scene from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.� Paquet said the officer’s condition isn’t known, but she was breathing when she was loaded into an air ambulance. He said it
appeared she’d been shot in the neck and her injuries were serious. “We haven’t confirmed the identity of the suspect yet. He was entering Canada in a vehicle that beared a Washington plate.� Vic Toews, minister of public safety, said in a statement he was deeply concerned at the news. “This event is a sobering reminder of the dangerous conditions faced daily by the men and women of our law enforcement agencies as they work to protect the safety and security of Canadians.� A spokeswoman with the Canada Border Services Agency said traffic was being diverted around the crossing. Glen Pederson, a local resident, said he heard two gunshots in the afternoon but didn’t think much of the noise. “I thought it was these guys
next door, it’s a construction site. There’s a house being built here, there’s been all kinds of banging going on for days and weeks.� The Peace Arch border point is the third busiest crossing between Canada and the United States. An average of 3,500 cars pass through the crossing on a slow day, and during peak periods about 4,800 vehicles will move through the border. During those peak periods, border delays can reach four hours on either side of the border. Pederson said when he heard a helicopter buzzing over his house, he went outside to his front patio and then walked over to the park at the border to see what was going on. He said he could see a white van stopped near the first booth, closest to the customs building, and surrounded by yellow police tape.
SYDNEY, Australia — Air Canada is being credited with helping rescue officials pinpoint the location of a yacht in trouble off the coast of Australia. A solo yachtsman left Pittwater, on Sydney’s northern beaches, two weeks ago heading for Eden on the New South Wales south coast. Capt. Andrew Robertson, of Vancouver, who was piloting an Air Canada flight from Vancouver to Sydney, says he was contacted after an emergency beacon was activated early Tuesday with the man reporting that his boat had been drifting away from land. “There’s a ship, a yacht in distress, may have sunk, and you are the closest aircraft. Would you be able to assist,� was the message Robertson said he received from Australian air traffic control. Robertson said he asked for the location of the boat so that he and his crew could determine if they had the fuel to search for the boat in distress. “Once we’d put that into our computer ... we actually determined that we had the fuel,� Robertson said. An Air New Zealand A320 heading to Sydney from New Zealand also went off course to locate the yacht about 435 kilometres east of Sydney. The Air Canada flight crew was using binoculars provided by passengers to look for the yacht as Robertson took the plane down to about 5,000 feet. “I made a PA announcement to ask the passengers (to watch for the boat) because it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack,� he said. “Almost right away, my first officer spotted something,� Robertson said, adding that at 5,000 feet is was hard to make out any details. “So I went from 5,000 down to 3,700 feet ... and they saw what they thought initially were three people on the deck, but it turns out there was only one,� he said. Robertson said the 777 is a big plane to be down at that level doing search and rescue. “We couldn’t even drop pretzels,� he said. “The passengers were awesome,� Robertson said, adding he’d heard of no complaints about the detour on the flight to Sydney. Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said everybody on board was “really happy and excited by the outcome,� even though it delayed the flight by roughly 90 minutes.
EDMONTON — The case of an Alberta man facing extradition to the United States on terrorism charges is now in the hands of a judge. Sayfildin Tahir Sharif is accused of conspiracy to kill Americans and supporting a terrorist group that took part in a 2009 suicide bombing in Iraq that killed five U.S. soldiers. His lawyer Bob Aloneissi argued in final submissions Tuesday that the Crown has provided no clear evidence that Sharif helped support a terrorist group or that he agreed to help kill anyone. He said the Crown’s case is based on police interpretations of vague statements made by Sharif that have been translated into English from Arabic. “What did he do? Where did he sign on to killing American soldiers in Iraq?� Aloneissi asked during the extradition hearing. “Where is that?� Aloneissi also said Sharif’s right to legal advice was violated when RCMP, FBI and U.S. Justice Department officials interrogated him immediately following his Jan. 19, 2011, arrest at an Edmonton apartment. The Crown contends that evidence from intercepted Internet and phone conversations shows that Sharif was directly involved in supporting Tunisian terrorists who conducted the suicide bombing by helping them make contact with other supporters as they made their way across the Middle East to Iraq. The terror group network is also accused of blowing up an Iraqi police station, killing seven Iraqi officers. Federal prosecutor Moiz Rahman said Tuesday the Crown isn’t required to enter evidence such as verbatim quotes from Sharif to support its case for extradition or prove that he was a member of a specific terror group. “The conspiracy here is not confined to two attacks, it is an overarching conspiracy to kill Americans,� he said. “The evidence is that he was interested in engaging in jihad attacks.� Rahman also challenged the defence’s submission that Sharif was simply in contact with people who turned out to be terrorists and really didn’t know about the suicide bombing or help support the attack. “There is no allegation that he was in charge of this. “He was a member of a network,� Rahman said. “He was helping the jihadists.� Sharif, 40, was born in Iraq but moved to Toronto as a refugee in 1993 and became a Canadian citizen. Sharif has acknowledged that his real name is Faruq Muhammad’Isa, but that he changed it to escape a Turkish refugee camp when he was young man. Canadian and U.S. police have referred to him by Sharif and Isa. He said he feared that using his real name again would have made it more difficult for him to immigrate to Canada. Justice Adam Germain of Edmonton Court of Queen’s Bench reserved his ruling until Friday. If he rules there is enough evidence to extradite Sharif, the case would be sent to federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson, who would make the final deci-
sion on whether to hand him over to U.S. authorities to stand trial in New York. Both Germain’s ruling and the minister’s final decision could be challenged in the Alberta Court of Appeal. If convicted of terrorism charges in the United States, Sharif could face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Kenney seeks input on immigration power
CANADA
BRIEFS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Top court upholds acquittal of Quebec mom who had son’s pot on her land OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the acquittal of a Quebec woman who did not call the police on her son after she discovered he was growing marijuana on her property. The high court, by a 6-1 margin, dismissed the appeal of Quebec prosecutors and upheld the acquittal of Nicole Rochon in a rare ruling from the bench on Tuesday. The court said it would give its reasons by Thursday. Rochon was originally convicted in 2006 of production and possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking. The Quebec Court of Appeal set aside that verdict and acquitted Rochon. Rochon had entrusted her 87-acre property to her son, and returned to find it was being used for an extensive marijuana operation. On two occasions, she told her son to remove the crop, but he refused. Rochon was arrested after police received a tip. At trial, Rochon admitted to knowing about the situation, so the judge convicted her after concluding she was obliged to tell police.
OTTAWA — Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says he’ll seek limits on a new power that will allow him to bar certain people from entering Canada. Kenney included the new authority in a piece of legislation expected to be studied by the Commons immigration committee this fall. It allows him to bar people for what are described as “public policy considerations”, but that term isn’t defined in the bill. Kenney says he’ll put a set of criteria before the committee and ask MPs how best to apply the new power. “The idea of this power of negative discretion in Bill C-43 would be to give us an extraordinary power in very exceptional cases to deny admission essentially when we believe a foreign national may come to Canada (and) promote hatred which could lead to violence,” Kenney told reporters on a conference call from London, where he was attending a border security conference. “And that’s really the sort of criteria we’re looking at. We’re not looking at some broad generalized power to prevent the admission of people to Canada whose political opinions we disagree with.”
Conservatives rebranding civilization museum BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Shipbuilder now says its OK with release of shipbuilding agreements OTTAWA — Irving Shipbuilding Inc. says it will withdraw its request to overturn Ottawa’s decision to release parts of the umbrella agreements signed earlier this year as part of the national shipbuilding procurement project. The private company filed an application with the Federal Court earlier this month arguing that the documents contain sensitive information that should not be made public. But in a brief statement today, the company says it will no longer pursue its judicial review application. Irving Shipbuilding says it filed the application because there was a short window of time to review the Public Works Department’s decision to release portions of the umbrella agreements. The company says now that it has had the time to review the department’s decision, it has no problem with it. Public Works agreed to release parts of the umbrella agreements that the federal government signed with the Irving shipyard in Halifax and Vancouver’s Seaspan Marine Corp. shipyard following a request under access-to-information legislation.
Kenney said Canada is among the only countries without such a power vested in the minister and it’s led to frustration. He cited a case last year when Quebec urged him to bar two Islamic speakers known for homophobic and sexist remarks. Kenney said there was nothing he could do at the time. But he said he’s also aware such a power could be taken too far and that’s why he wants to discuss it with his own party and the opposition. “I don’t want — anymore than they do — the current or future government abusing this kind of power to exclude from Canada those whose views may be contentious or politically incorrect,” he said. The new authority is included in a sweeping piece of legislation introduced by the Conservatives just before the summer recess. It seeks to make it easier to both eject foreign nationals convicted of crimes in Canada and bar those convicted of crimes abroad from coming in. Kenney said ensuring the security of Canada’s immigration system was part of his discussions in London this week. But he also talked politics with Britain’s current Conservative government.
GATINEAU, Que. — The Conservative government is spending $25 million to retool the Canadian Museum of Civilization in advance of Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. Heritage Minister James Moore says the government will rechristen the institution the Canadian Museum of History, a move that critics are calling a waste of money. The museum will highlight achievements, accomplishments and artifacts such as the “last spike” from the Canada Pacific Railway and Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Former Montreal Canadiens winger Maurice “Rocket” Richard’s iconic hockey jersey will also be
on display. The renovation, to encompass more than 4,600 square metres of space, will illustrate how Canada’s identity has been shaped over the course of its history, said Moore. “Canada needs a national institution that celebrates our achievements and what we have accomplished together as Canadians,” he said. “Our children need to know more about Canada’s past.” The changes will be paid for through existing budgets, the government said. Ottawa is also seeking input from Canadians about what sort of national milestones the rebranded museum should acknowledge, and is linking museums across the country for better public access to the country’s shared history.

PQ’s Marois and NDP’s Mulcair to meet in Montreal on Friday QUEBEC — Less than a week after meeting the prime minister, Quebec Premier Pauline Marois will sit down with Opposition Leader Thomas Mulcair. Mulcair said today he will meet with Marois in Montreal on Friday. The NDP leader says he will listen attentively to Marois and help her in the future when he believes it is good for Quebecers as a whole. But he also told a news conference in Quebec City that won’t be the case if he believes Marois is just out to prove that Canada cannot work. Marois met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Africa last Saturday just before the opening of the summit of la Francophonie.
Prosecutor resigns from corruption inquiry MONTREAL — It’s one more surprise at a Quebec corruption inquiry that has been loaded with surprises: the chief prosecutor at the inquiry has quit over perceptions of a conflict of interest. Sylvian Lussier’s departure was announced by the Charbonneau Commission. In a letter he wrote to the commission, Lussier said that while any conflict allegations are unfounded he has decided to recuse himself to ensure the integrity of the commission’s work. In August, published reports indicated that Lussier, as part of his private practice, represented an asphalt company that was cited in documents deposited at the inquiry. Lussier, one of Quebec’s best-known lawyers with a career spanning more than three decades, was the federal government’s lawyer during the Gomery inquiry. He is being replaced on an interim basis by another senior commission lawyer, Claude

Stakes high in second debate OBAMA AGGRESSIVE WITH ROMNEY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — President Barack Obama went on the attack against Republican challenger Mitt Romney in a critical debate Tuesday, looking to rebound from an earlier matchup when he was seen as listless and distracted. The stakes of the town hall-style debate could not have been higher. With just three weeks to go before Election Day, the race is locked in a dead heat and many Americans are already casting ballots in states with early voting. Obama strode onto the stage seeking a stronger showing than in the initial debate on Oct. 3, when he had sent shudders through his supporters and helped fuel a rise in opinion polls by Romney, a former Massachusetts governor. The open-stage format, with no physical objects between them, placed incumbent and challenger face to face and, when they chose, directly in each other’s faces. Their physical encounters crackled with energy and tension, and the crowd watched raptly as the two sparred while struggling to appear calm and affable before a national

Last Year’s Donations From the Poppy Drive Benefited: killed in airstrikes and artillery shelling. He said it is often difficult to determine “what hit a town or a village” in the immediate aftermath of a strike. The Local Coordination Committees, another activist group, put the death toll from airstrikes and artillery strikes at 96. In addition to the air bombardment, Human Rights Watch on Sunday cited allegations that Assad’s government has been using cluster bombs — which are banned by most nations. The U.S. based group cited amateur video and testimony from the front lines. The Syrian military denied the reports, saying in a statement late Monday that the allegations were “baseless and are part of media propaganda that aims to divert international public opinion from crimes committed by armed terrorist groups.” Syrian authorities blame the civil war in the country on armed gangs and terrorists carrying out a foreign conspiracy to destabilize the country. Fighting also continued in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city with 3 million residents and its former business capital. Activists reported airstrikes in the town of al-Bab in Aleppo province. Activists say that more than 33,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict, which began in March 2011 as a peaceful uprising against Assad’s
regime but morphed into a civil war. Journalists are increasingly getting caught up in the chaos. A Ukrainian woman who worked as an interpreter for a Russian TV crew in Syria was kidnapped by rebels in the west on Oct. 9, said Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Dikusarov.

BEIRUT — The Syrian military unleashed heavy airstrikes and artillery bombardments targeting rebel strongholds in the north on Tuesday, killing at least 90 people according to activists. The barrage came as the U.N. food agency warned that more and more Syrians are depending on assistance from the World Food Program to stay alive with the civil war worsening. The airstrikes hit northern Idlib and Aleppo provinces, both bordering Turkey. Activists described them as some of the worst since rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad took over the key city of Maaret al-Numan in Idlib on Oct. 10. The city lies along the main highway connecting Aleppo with the cities to the south, including Homs and the capital Damascus. Assad’s regime has increasingly relied on warplanes in its struggle to crush rebels who have taken over large swathes of territory in the north. Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Britainbased activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the airstrikes were “concentrated and intensive” and the worst in weeks. He said warplanes carried out 12 raids in the area of Maaret al-Numan in one hour. The group relies on a network of activists on the ground. Abdul-Rahman said at least 90 people were

a five-point plan. He has a one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules,” Obama said. He also said Romney had shifted positions on energy, criticizing coal production years ago and supporting it now. At least twice, Obama accused Romney of being untruthful.
Romney responded in kind. He said the Obama administration’s spending was swelling the deficit and would lead to big tax hikes. He criticized Obama’s handling of the economy and blamed the president for high gasoline prices. “The middle class has been crushed over the last four years,” Romney said. The two men interrupted one another early and often, speaking over each other to the point that neither could be understood. “You’ll get your chance in a moment. I’m still speaking,” Romney said as he tried to cut off Obama at one point. There would be little time for either candidate to recover from a weak showing Tuesday. Only one more debate, next Monday, remains after Tuesday’s faceoff and that one deals with foreign policy, a secondary issue in a race dominated by the economy. Tuesday’s debate was before an audience of 80 uncommitted voters posing questions to the candidates. Obama needed to strike the right balance in coming on strong against Romney without turning off the audience — and tens of millions of television viewers — by going too negative. Obama has said his first debate performance was “too polite.”

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR A real estate magazine has chosen Red Deer’s Sunnybrook subdivision as one of the best investment neighbourhoods in the country. Canadian Real Estate Wealth magazine is publishing a list of the 100 communities that it believes offer the best value to buyers and are most likely to escape a market price correction. It based its selections on population, median price, growth, vacancy rates, crime, infrastructure and proximity to jobs, and also consulted with Realtors, mortgage brokers
and investors. The magazine made note of Red Deer’s central location between Calgary and Edmonton. It also quoted Mike Wiseman, a Red Deer Realtor and owner of True North Realty, as saying Sunnybrook may be experiencing “the most positive increase in home value” in the city. Wiseman attributed this to the neighbourhood’s proximity to green spaces and walking trails, its safe traffic flows and the fact there’s an elementary school in the subdivision. He identified Mountview, which is near the trail system and downtown, as another good option for buyers. Speaking to the Advocate on Tuesday, Wiseman said he con-
siders Sunnybrook one of Red Deer’s most “up-and-coming neighourhoods,” and one that’s revitalizing quickly. He pointed out that property there is known to hold its value, and that many homes change hands without even being listed. “That gives me an indication that people are willing to buy in that neighbourhood regardless of whether or not it’s getting the MLS exposure.” Canadian Real Estate Wealth’s top 100 list will appear in the magazine’s November edition, which is expected to go on sale Oct. 22. The list will also be presented at a Nov. 17 and 18 investor forum in Vancouver. Wiseman doesn’t anticipate
that the resulting national exposure will affect local buying patterns. “I don’t think it’s really going to cause some sort of crazy buying spree in Sunnybrook.” An official with Canadian Real Estate Wealth declined to disclose the composition of the list before the magazine is released. But she did confirm that 10 of the neighborhoods included are located in Alberta. A release issued by Canadian Real Estate Wealth also said that some obscure communities, such as Ardrossan, are on the list. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

separates shares that have voting rights and non-voting A shares (NYSE:TU). Mason Capital has repeatedly said holders of Telus’ voting shares should get a premium to approve it, something Telus has said its governing rules don’t require it to do. The hedge fund has proposed a minimum premium valuation of either 4.75 per cent — which represents the historic average trading premium of the voting shares over the non-voting shares — or a minimum premium of eight per cent. Mason owns about 19 per cent of Telus’s voting stock, making it the largest voting shareholder.
Nine months after the last bag of groceries when out the door at Sylvan Lake’s Cobb’s AG Foods, the store’s landmark building appears to have a new lease on life. River City Developments Ltd. wants to convert the 5015 50th St. building into a shopping centre, with its dozen units to include a restaurant with a patio. Ken Wessel, a partner in the Red Deer company, said the plan is to transform the existing structure into an attractive, two-storey site called Cobb’s Block Central. “We’ve gutted it basically, and made it so it’s going to be brand new all the way through.” Wessel listed hardwood flooring, LED lighting, a high-efficiency heating system and upgraded insulation as among the additions. The main floor would boast a large foyer with access to the second storey via a curved stairway and an elevator, and the exterior would be upgraded. “It is a very well-built structure,” said Wessel of the building, which is about 23 years old. A grocery store operated at the site for many years, with A.F. Cobb purchasing a Co-op grocery and dry goods business in 1928. Don and Rita Gummo, who operated Cobb’s AG Foods from 1999, decided to close the business in the face of an increasingly competitive retail food market. Sylvan Lake’s municipal planning commission voted on Monday to recommend River City’s proposal to town council, which must approve developments in the lakefront area. Mayor Susan Samson said the matter could be dealt with by council as early as next Monday.

Cabinet maker Shane Bryan assembles cabinets in the new southside Red Deer location of the Locker Room Hair Company. Located in 32nd Street Centre, the Red Deer business will soon open its doors to customers.
Locker Room to start clipping soon HAIR SALON THAT SPECIALIZES IN MALE CUSTOMERS Men live on the south side of Red Deer, as well as the north side. This demographic reality has prompted the owner of a hair salon that specializes in male customers to open a second location in the city. Locker Room Hair Company has been operating at No. 5 6842 Gaetz Ave. for more than eight years. Within the next week, it’s also expected to be clipping men’s
and boys’ hair at No. 120, 3121 49th Ave. — a portion of the former Video Headquarters premises. Owner Tanya Heather said she wanted her business to be more accessible to residents across Red Deer. Like the original salon, the new Locker Room will have a sports theme, with sports memorabilia and decor. It will also boast a TV at every cutting station, as well as stadium seating, popcorn and a big-screen
TV in the waiting area. “It’ll be set up the exact same way.” Heather said local men and boys have proven receptive to the idea of a salon that specializes in their needs. “I think the convenience of it is nice too,” she added. “They don’t have to book an appointment. They can just walk right in and usually sit in a chair instantly.”
Telus to go ahead with share conversion plan vote BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Telus will go ahead with a vote today to have shareholders decide on whether the telecom company will have one common class of shares, even as a U.S. hedge fund said it will appeal the decision. Telus said the B.C. Supreme Court also approved its suggestion to have New York-based Mason Capital Management have its meeting of holders of Telus voting shares on Wednesday, too. “The court rejected Mason Capital’s attempt to halt or vary the Oct. 17 meeting called for by Telus,” the Vancouver-based company said in a statement on Tuesday. But Mason Capital Management
said that it will appeal the decisions in favour of Telus (TSX:T) that were issued by the court, including holding the shareholder meeting. “Mason believes that these decisions disenfranchise the Telus voting shareholders,” the New York hedge fund said in a statement. Telus said Mason’s appeal will not prevent its shareholder meeting from going ahead on Wednesday. The legal battle between Mason Capital and Telus (TSX:T) has been going on since the spring over the telecom company’s plan to have one common class of shares. Telus wants to convert its dual-class share structure, which
Understanding your credit score PATRICK O’MEARA
EASY MONEY
In my last article, I discussed the five Cs of credit. Many people in the past couple of weeks have stopped and asked me just what that number means and how does a credit bureau calculate “my number”? It turns out that your “number” is based not just on how you use credit but what types of credit you use, as well as how long you have used credit and how many requests you have made for credit recently.
Repayment history is the most important factor in calculating your credit score. In fact, credit reporting agencies use a system of payment timeliness ratings that indicate both the type of credit used and how timely you are in making minimum required payments. For example, a credit card or line of credit is considered a revolving credit product, meaning that it has a credit limit which the lender expects you to revolve. In
other words, over time the lender expects that the balance on the credit account will move between zero and its maximum limit. So if you have a credit card with a balance, and your most recent minimum payment was made on time, this account would have an R1 rating. This is the highest rating you can receive.
Please see CREDIT on Page B2
B2 RED DEER ADVOCATE Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012
CREDIT: Things can help, hurt credit rating In contrast, a term loan with a payment made on time would have a rating of I1. The “I” means it is instalment credit that has a regular monthly payment — for example, a car loan or lease. These ratings can move from I1 or R1 to I9 or R9. A rating of R9 or I9 is a bankruptcy. The higher the prefix number, the number that comes after the letter, the more points you will potentially lose. Another consideration is the proportion of a revolving account’s limit already taken by a balance. The more accounts with high balances relative to their limits, the lower potentially your score. Rating agencies also take into account the relationship between the length of time that the account has been open or it was last used, and its balance. Using a credit card as an example, your balance could be $800 on an account with a $1,000 limit. This would be considered high in proportion to the limit but if the account has been open for a reasonably long period your final overall credit score may not be negatively affected. In contrast, a card with a high balance and that has been open for a short period of time could potentially reduce your score. Finally, the number of recent credit requests can negatively affect your credit score. Credit rating agencies differentiate between two types of credit request. A “soft” request is, for example, a request you make for a copy of your credit report. This request will be excluded when calculating your score. A “hard” request, such as your requesting a new loan, will potentially reduce your score. Too many “hard” requests can have a negative impact on your overall credit score. In the final analysis, your credit score is yours. If there is one facet of your financial life you can control, it is how you use credit to maximize your score, given your other circumstances, so that you can minimize the future cost of borrowing. Remember, the lower your credit score the higher the cost of borrowing. To find out more on how to get a free credit report, go to www.equifax.ca or www.transunion.ca; and remember, you are in control of your financial destiny.

PLAN: ‘Very aesthetically pleasing’ She described plans for Cobb’s Block Central as “very aesthetically pleasing,” and said the project would provide a boost to the downtown. “We think that what they’re proposing here is going to increase the intensity and the density in the downtown,” said Samson. “And for us, that means more people working in the area, and attracting more people into that area to shop.” If council approval is received, Wessel estimated that it will take four to six months to complete the renovations. Occupants could choose between ownership and tenancy. “We’re open to selling or leasing, but our intent is to sell as much as possible,” he said. Wessel said he’s received a number of inquiries about units in the building, of which seven would be on the main floor and five on the second level. Retail and professional uses have been proposed, he said. “A lot of the people who are calling us are existing businesses that are leasing in other buildings.” The building’s total usable space would be approximately 25,500 square feet, with nearly 2,400 square feet of this earmarked for the restaurant. In addition to the restaurant, Cobb’s Clothing would operate on the ground floor in its existing location. Wessel said the building is appealing because of its heritage ties, its ample parking and its location in downtown Sylvan Lake. “Downtown Sylvan doesn’t really have this concept.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com
TELUS: Short selling legal trading strategy However, Mason sold short almost the same amount in non-voting shares, essentially betting the price of those shares would fall if the share consolidation plan was defeated. Short sellers make a profit when the stock price falls. It is a legal trading strategy in Canada based on the traditional gap in prices between the voting and less desirable non-voting shares. Telus has complained that Mason Capital was voting $1.9 billion worth of Telus’s common shares with only a $25 million net economic stake in the company, calling it “empty voting.” Telus also said the court has agreed that a simple majority of the common share class and 66.67 per cent of the non-voting share class are required for its proposal to succeed. “Telus’ shareholders are exceedingly well informed and have a comprehensive understanding of both our share exchange proposal and the perspective communicated by Mason Capital,” chief executive Darren Entwistle said in a statement. Mason disagreed and said a simple majority vote for the voting shareholders on the conversion plan is less than the law of British Columbia and Telus’ governing rules require. The New York hedge fund also said shareholders need more information. “As a result of the orders sought and obtained by Telus, the Telus arrangement resolution and Mason’s proposals will be put to a vote without voting shareholders having been provided with complete information, or a reasonable opportunity to consider and provide instructions on how their shares should be voted.” Telus said a vote in favour of its proposal to exchange non-voting shares for common shares on a one-to-one basis can be voted against Mason’s resolution for a premium for voting shareholders. “Similarly, a proxy granting authority to vote against Telus’ share exchange proposal can be voted in favour of the Mason Capital resolutions,” Telus said. Voting shares in Telus moved up 33 cents higher to $63.18 Tuesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange, while non-voting shares added 22 cents to $63.26 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Saskatchewan Premier Wall maps out road to prosperity WITH LONG-TERM GROWTH PLAN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SASKATOON — Saskatchewan is mapping out a road to prosperity that the opposition argues offers little but recycled ideas. Premier Brad Wall has unveiled a long-term growth plan that talks about saving money from non-renewable resources, starting a new organization to build things such as roads through public-private partnerships and includes lowering the corporate business tax rate. Saskatchewan’s incorporated business tax rate is high at 12 per cent, he said. Alberta and B.C. are at 10 per cent. “They’re our greatest source of competition,” Wall told a luncheon crowd Tuesday in Saskatoon. “So beginning with the next budget, we will over the next two years reduce our rate from 12 per cent to 10 per cent.” Saskatchewan also plans to follow Alberta’s lead when it comes to saving money from non-renewable resources, such as oil and gas. Wall said Peter MacKinnon, a former University of Saskatchewan president, will lead the Saskatchewan Heritage Initiative, which will look at ways to use non-renewable resource revenue. Alberta has a similar fund. “We will pay the debt off in this province and hopefully soon and that’ll be a great day,” said Wall. “But what about the day after? What should we do with these revenues for future generations that we think will be there because of the vast resources we have? That long view must also shape our purpose and our vision.” Wall’s vision is outlined in the 64-page document entitled “Saskatchewan Plan for Growth: Vision 2020 and Beyond.” It spells out six points that include investing in infrastructure, developing a skilled workforce and ensuring competitiveness. On the infrastructure front, the province plans to take $150 million from its rainy day account, the Growth and Financial Security Fund, to set up a new organization to help build roads, bridges and other infrastructure. The SaskBuilds Fund will drive infrastructure planning and fi-

Wall noted that Saskatoon and Prince Albert need new bridges, a highway bypass proposal in Regina is pegged at $500 and $700 million and there’s about $1 billion in water infrastructure needs. “You can see these numbers are big,” he said. “And if we rely on conventional methods of funding, of annual funding from the government, they won’t get done in a timely way to meet the challenges of growth, to sustain the growth in the province, and so we’re going to ask SaskBuilds to explore aggressively P3s.” It’s not the first time the Saskatchewan Party government has pondered P3s. It created a P3 secretariat after taking office in 2007, but it was later folded. Interim Opposition NDP Leader John Nilson called the growth
plan “a rehash of old ideas,” referring to the failed P3 secretariat. Nilson said the growth plan doesn’t offer anything for families in terms of housing or education. He said the references to increasing the aboriginal high school graduation rate were too brief. Nilson was also disappointed with plans for the heritage fund — which was something the NDP proposed in the provincial election in 2011. He criticized the decision to wait to start the fund until after the debt is fully paid. “They say they’re going to pay off the debt at $80 million a year. That means it’ll be 2060 before they start the heritage fund,” he said. “I’ll be almost 110 years old. I plan to live that long, but I think it’s a long time for Saskatchewan people to wait.”
U.S. economic outlook brightens BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The outlook for the U.S. economy brightened a little Tuesday after reports that consumer prices stayed tame and homebuilder confidence rose to the highest level in six years. A third report showed factory output grew only modestly in September, a reminder that the economy is still weak. Low inflation could give consumers even more incentive to spend at a time when their confidence is at a five-year high. That could boost growth and help lift American manufacturers out from their slump. The economy remains the top issues for voters with just three weeks left before Election Day. It will be front and centre Tuesday night when President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney meet at New York’s Hofstra University for the second of three debates. Tuesday’s data showed: ● The consumer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.6 per cent in September, the Labor Department said. The increase was driven by higher gas prices. When excluding gas and food costs, prices rose just 0.1 per cent.
Overall prices have risen just 2 per cent in the 12 months that ended in September, in line with the Federal Reserve’s inflation target. ● The National Association of Home Builders said its survey of builder sentiment rose to a reading of 41 this month, the highest level since June 2006. The index is still below 50, which indicates negative sentiment about the market. But it has steadily climbed over the past year from a reading of 17, further evidence of a slow but steady housing recovery. ● The Federal Reserve said that output at factories, mines and utilities rose 0.4 per cent in September after a sharp decline in August. Factory output, the most important component of industrial production, edged up only 0.2 per cent last month. The report also noted that factory out fell in the July-September quarter. That marked the first quarterly decline since the spring of 2009, when the country was still in recession. The report on low inflation contributed to a second straight day of strong gains on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 127 points to close at 13,551, its biggest gain since Sept. 13.
Loblaw cuts 700 jobs as part of downsizing THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Loblaw Co. Ltd. (TSX:L) is cutting hundreds of mostly head office jobs as Canada’s largest supermarket chain continues a makeover aimed at making it more competitive in the increasingly crowded grocery segment. “We’re managing costs where it makes sense by reducing administrative expense,” Loblaw president Vicente Trius said in announcing some 700 management and administrative jobs were being trimmed. The company, which operates under several banners including Loblaws, Zehrs, and Real Canadian Super Store, has about 135,000 fulltime and part-time employees across the country. The cuts will affect about 10 per cent of its management and administrative staff. Loblaw said the layoff notices would begin going out Tuesday and the cuts should be complete within three weeks. The move will result in a one-time expense of
$60 million, to be recorded in the fourth quarter of its financial year. RBC Capital Markets analyst Irene Nattel called the move a step toward making the company more productive. “Loblaw is generally
not the leanest of organizations and today’s announcement is a move toward streamlining functions,” Nattel wrote in a report, adding that she expects the company to realize annual savings in the neighbourhood of $60 million, starting in
2013. “But we would not assume that the cost savings will necessarily flow to the bottom line, but rather be reinvested in pricing (and) in-store service to drive top-line performance,” Nattel said.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market made an enthusiastic gain on Tuesday as commodities prices strengthened alongside a round of U.S. earnings reports that gave traders further confidence. The S&P/TSX composite index rose 177.74 points to 12,407.70 on strength across every sector led by gold and materials stocks. The TSX Venture Exchange gained 17.05 points to 1,299.78. The Canadian dollar fell 0.7 of a cent to 101.34, coming off a steeper decline of 0.83 cents earlier in the session. In commodities, December gold bullion rose $8.70 to US$1,746.30 an ounce, while TSX gold stocks led gainers. Copper prices were relatively unchanged with the December contact at US$3.70 a pound. Oil prices were slightly higher with the November contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange up 24 cents to US$92.09 a barrel, while
the TSX energy sector gained 1.1 per cent. The latest comments from Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney late Monday afternoon were also a factor. A speech by Carney left economists debating the importance of his leaving out an often-repeated phrase that “modest withdrawal of the present considerable monetary policy stimulus may become appropriate.” The central bank’s pronouncements are closely watched by economists as a signal of change in interest rate policies, which can affect currency rates. On Wall Street, a flurry of earnings reports gave traders much to chew on, with major companies in the health-care, banking and consumer industries reporting quarterly results. The Dow Jones industrials rose 127.55 points to 13,551.78, the Nasdaq composite index added 36.99 points to 3,101.17 and the S&P 500 index was up 14.79 points to 1,454.92.

Carney raised flags over the central bank’s intention to boost interest rates. The loonie fell 0.7 of

a cent to 101.34, coming off a steeper decline of 0.83 cents earlier in the session. The drop takes the loonie to its lowest level since Oct. 4, when it began to strengthen against the U.S. dollar. Much of the currency’s direction was linked to a speech from Carney late Monday that was notable for what he didn’t say and interpreted as a more dovish tone toward the possibility of interest rate increases.
Mattel and UnitedHealth posted strong results for the third quarter. Goldman Sachs and Johnson & Johnson both beat Wall Street expectations. Coca-Cola Co. said its net income rose three per cent. Meanwhile, the Labor Department said that U.S. consumer prices rose 0.6 per cent in September because of more expensive gas. In Europe, an unexpectedly large improvement in German investor confidence, as surveyed by the ZEW institute, also helped shore up sentiment. The rise in confidence also gave the euro some lift. The euro has also garnered support from expectations that Spain will soon make a request to tap a European Central Bank bond-buying facility and that Greece will get its next batch of bailout funds. The problems of both debt-ridden countries are likely to be featured at a meeting of EU leaders later this week. Citigroup investors were stunned to learn Tuesday that Vikram Pandit stepped down as CEO, after steering the bank through the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Pandit’s replacement as CEO is Michael Corbat, the current CEO of Citigroup’s Europe, Middle East and Africa division, the bank said. Also in the news is a plan by Loblaw Companies Ltd. (TSX:L) to cut about 700 jobs at its operations, mostly in administration and management, as it looks to cut costs. Loblaw shares rose 84 cents to $34.72.

Blazers burn up Rebels SHEA EMRY
EMRY WINS PAIR OF AWARDS Montreal linebacker Shea Emry picked up a pair of CFL weekly awards for his standout performance in the Alouettes’ big win over Toronto last weekend. Emry picked up top defensive player and top Canadian honours for his efforts in Montreal’s 24-12 victory. The native of Richmond, B.C., registered four tackles, one sack and one interception as the Alouettes moved four points up on the second-place Argos in the CFL East Division standings. Emry intercepted a Jarious Jackson pass with 9:11 remaining in the fourth quarter and returned it 46 yards for the touchdown. The Argos trailed by just five points prior to Emry’s big play.

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Blazers 4 Rebels 0 The Red Rebels were stuck in neutral on Tuesday night against a team that has raced to the top of the overall Western Hockey League standings. The result, then, was predictable, as the Kamloops Blazers cruised to a 4-0 win before a gathering of 4,557 at the Centrium. “I just thought we were flat,” said Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin. “We knew coming into the game that Kamloops is at the top of the league for a reason. They have a good hockey team and if we had any chance we were going to have to outwork them and I didn’t think we did that tonight.” The Blazers took advantage of their sluggish hosts by notching two goals in each of the second and third periods. “We didn’t move our feet, we didn’t win enough battles,” said Wallin. “We didn’t generate enough and in the third period we ended up shooting ourselves in the foot by taking four minor penalties.” If there was a bright spot for the Rebels, it was their penalty kill. The Blazers entered the contest with a power play clicking at a 34 per cent success rate, but were zero-for-six with a man advantage on Tuesday. Not that Wallin took any solace in that statistic. “We allowed them to score easily. Every goal that they scored was off a mental error or

New York Yankees’ Raul Ibanez reacts after striking out ending the game as Detroit Tigers’ Alex Avila leaves home plate at Game 3 of the American League championship series Tuesday, in Detroit.
Tigers 2 Yankees 1 DETROIT — Justin Verlander and Detroit’s stellar starters are one win from the World Series. Verlander took a shutout into the ninth inning and the Tigers held on to beat the New York Yankees 2-1 Tuesday night for a 3-0 lead in the AL championship series. Phil Coke gave up consecutive singles with two outs in the ninth before striking out post-season star Raul Ibanez for his second save in two games. Detroit can complete a sweep and earn its second pennant in seven years Wednesday night when Max Scherzer pitches against Yankees ace CC Sabathia. “We put ourselves in a decent position, but that’s all we have done,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. Verlander allowed only a pair of singles by Ichiro Suzuki and a leadoff homer by Eduardo Nunez in the ninth. Delmon Young hit a solo home run for the Tigers, and Miguel Cabrera had an RBI double. Yankees starter Phil Hughes was lifted in the fourth because of a stiff back, and manager Joe Girardi’s lineup shuffle — Alex Rodriguez was benched again — failed to snap New York out of its untimely hitting funk. “There were some good at-bats tonight. The ball was not carrying tremendously well tonight, we know that,” Girardi said. “But I think he ended up with three strikeouts. So our guys put the ball in play and tried to get on base, but, you know, when you face Verlander, you know what you’re
up against.” Seeking their first World Series title since 1984, the Tigers were on a historic pitching run even before their ace took the mound Tuesday. With the exception of a four-run ninth inning against Detroit closer Jose Valverde in Game 1, New York had been shut out for the entire series. Nunez’s homer snapped a streak of 37 innings by Detroit starters without allowing an earned run, the longest in a single postseason in the live-ball era. Verlander fell just short of a second straight shutout after stopping the Oakland Athletics in the decisive fifth game of the division series. He struck out only three but kept New York off the scoreboard until the homer to left field by Nunez, the first run allowed by the powerful right-hander since he gave up a leadoff homer to Coco Crisp in Game 1 of the ALDS. Verlander got Brett Gardner on a tapper before he was lifted after 132 pitches, one shy of his career high set in Game 5 of last year’s ALCS against Texas. “Normally I guess you don’t take Secretariat out in the final furlong, but that was pretty much it for him,” Leyland said. Coke came in and allowed two-out hits to Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano, with the latter snapping a drought of 29 at-bats without a hit. With an anxious Verlander pacing in the dugout and rubbing the bald head of a teammate, Ibanez struck out swinging at a breaking ball to end it.

Ness has up to three years of eligibility available after missing most of two full seasons because of concussions at Yale. “I played my first year, then was injured late that season and missed the entire second season,” she explained. “I played the third year and then early in the fourth was clipped by an opposing player in front of the net and was out again.” Her first injury was a fluke when she lost an edge in practice, collided with a teammate and hit the ice. She’s been symptom-free since the middle of 2009. “There are still some issues, and I’ve been told there always will be, but physically I’m 100 per cent,” she said. Ness even got into competing in a half ironman competition in 2011. “I’ve always been an elite athlete and I wanted something to do,” she said. “As well one of my teammates, Mandy Schwartz, passed away in 2010 (from leukemia) and it had a big impact on me. It was my way of grieving and it was something she would

I’m starting to get my game back,” she said prior to practice Monday at the Arena. The Queens are preparing to open their regular season Thursday when they entertain the Grant MacEwan University Griffins at 7 p.m. at the Arena. Ness is the veteran on the RDC blueline, but not the oldest player on the team. “No that’s Laura (Salomons),” she said with a laugh. But Ness enjoys being a role model for the young RDC defence. “It’s cool to be a role model and have the experience to draw on,” she said. “I try to teach and help the other girls, but I learn from them as well, so it’s a good relationship.” Coming into the ACAC after playing at Yale, which is in possibly the premier women’s hockey league in the NCAA, isn’t a step down, stresses Ness.

New arena for Oilers in jeopardy KATZ REFUSES TO MEET WITH CITY COUNCILLORS AS DEADLINE LOOMS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Fading hopes for a new arena for the Edmonton Oilers grew fainter Tuesday after team owner Daryl Katz refused for a second time to meet city councillors in public to explain why he wants millions of dollars more in taxpayers’ money. “I’m not sure where we go from here,” Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel told reporters after receiving the refusal in a letter from Katz. “It’s frustrating that for whatever reason he still doesn’t want to come to city council to talk about what his issues are. “That’s an important part of how we move forward.” Mandel had set a Wednesday deadline to hash out all remaining issues on the arena, which has been negotiated on and off for four years. Katz said the two sides are so far apart, a public meeting is not useful. “We have gone backwards,” said Katz in the letter. “We and the city can’t even agree on basic assumptions relating to the financial aspects of operating a new arena.” Katz also accused Mandel and the councillors of putting parochial interests ahead of the city’s and by doing so risk missing out on a golden opportunity to revitalize the downtown. “The city has approached this negotiation based on narrow political considerations rather than a general desire to strike a deal that is fair and makes economic sense for both sides,” wrote Katz. “We all understood the devil would be in the details, and indeed it was. “Mayor Mandel, this is an opportunity for Edmonton to be bold and forward-looking, and it warrants your support and leadership.” Asked to respond, Mandel told reporters: “Many of the things Mr. Katz states in (the letter) I wouldn’t
necessarily agree with, but we’re not going to get into that today.” Mandel has said the city wants to stick with the original funding deal agreed to by Katz a year ago. That deal came apart last month when Katz officials informed the city privately that they had reviewed the numbers and needed millions more public dollars to make it work. Councillors refused to budge, prompting both sides to publicly accuse each other of bargaining in bad faith. Mandel urged Katz to come to city council and explain himself. Katz refused and instead threatened to move the team to Seattle. When angry Edmonton fans reacted on social media, Katz took out full-page newspaper ads on Sept. 29 to apologize. With both sides resuming talks in private, Mandel then set the drop-dead date of the Sept. 17 city council meeting, and said he expected Katz or his officials to show up. Construction had been slated to start in the spring with the 18,400-seat arena completed in the fall of 2015. Katz has said he’s a passionate Edmontonian who wants to keep the NHL team in Alberta’s capital, but needs more money to compete in what he terms a “small market.” “The Oilers need Edmonton and Edmonton needs the Oilers. Each is an integral part of the fabric and the identity of the other,” Katz told fans in the fullpage apology ads. University of Alberta sports economist Brad Humphreys urged fans to strip away the rhetoric. “It’s the way the game is played,” said Humphreys, who has authored numerous reports on sports economics and has advised U.S. Congress on the issue. “In the bargaining procedure you try to get it however you can get it, and part of that is coming back and making requests like, ‘Oh, by the way, I’m going
to need $6 million (a year) in operating expenses.”’ Under the original deal, city taxpayers and ticket buyers would pay to build the arena, which was initially pegged at $450 million. But with land, borrowing and surrounding infrastructure factored in the price is now at $700 million and rising. The Oilers would keep all profits from NHL games, trade shows, concerts and other events for 11 months out of the year. The team would also keep naming rights for the building (worth up to $3 million a year), along with $2 million a year from the city for a decade for advertising. Concession sales alone are pegged at $20 million a year. In return, the Oilers would pay the city $5.5 million a year for 35 years and pay to operate and run the arena, pegged at $10 million a year. The Oilers are worth an estimated $212 million, good for middle of the pack in the NHL, and the team regularly sells out Rexall Place. Katz, however, said the franchise is bleeding money and last month told council he wants to change the deal to deliver to him an extra $6 million a year in public subsidies to offset costs of running the rink. He is also reportedly seeking tax breaks and a casino license. Katz says the city can afford to meet those demands because the estimated $1.2 billion in extra money that will fill city coffers due to rising property values around the arena will actually be closer to $2 billion. That money would come in under a specially designated community revitalization levy, or CRL. But Humphreys said it’s a phantom argument. “The CRL has become this giant pinata of economic benefits that everybody should get a crack at when a shovel hasn’t been put in the ground and we don’t know what kind of property increases there might be,” he said.
Canada knocked from World Cup after loss to Honduras Carlo Costly each scored three goals for Honduras, while Mario Martinez added two of his own. Substitute Iain Hume scored a consolation goal off a nice free kick in the 76th minute before Bengston restored the six-goal cushion six minutes later as the Canadian defence crumbled around him. Costly then scored on an 88th-minute header to complete the rout. Hart said personally he thought he had done his best but could have to consider his future in the wake of the “crushing” result. “All I can do is ask the fans’ forgiveness on behalf of the players,” said the coach, who has six months remaining on his contract. “I know they’ll never forgive me but on behalf of the players, forgive them.” Reminded he was not on the field, Hart said: “It’s my responsibility.” McKenna disagreed, saying blame should not be laid at the coach’s feet. “It was all to do with the players. Stephen Hart had us well prepared for every game that we’ve gone into, at least since I’ve been with this national team,” he said. “It would be a same if they point the finger at the coach. It was all the players. “We drew Honduras in Canada and we should have won that game. To come down here and to lose 8-1 is devastation.” But someone will likely have to pay for this disaster.
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras — Canada’s World Cup dreams were snuffed out in brutal fashion Tuesday as Honduras put them to the sword 8-1 in a do-or-die qualifying match. It’s a bitter pill to swallow for a Canadian team that went into the match with its fate in its own hands and the unswerving belief that it deserved to move on. That is until Tuesday, when the wheels came off the Canadian bus in a shocking display. Canada entered the hostile confines of a soldout Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano knowing that a tie or win would be enough to move on to the final round of qualifying in the CONCACAF region, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean. The Hondurans, looking to please their fans on an extended national holiday, needed a win. Asked if the moment had got to his team, Canadian coach Stephen Hart offered a one-word answer — “Yes.” “You’re supposed to go down all guns blazing, you’re supposed to fight,” he added. “You’re supposed to die out there. “We were horrible. ... It’s disturbing to me that the team fell apart.” It was Canada’s worst loss since an 8-0 drubbing in Mexico in 1993. “We pretty much embarrassed ourselves,” said midfielder Julian de Guzman. “We were terrible ... It’s an absolute low for us,” added captain Kevin McKenna.

Scutaro not talking retaliation as NLCS resumes BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Giants manager Bruce Bochy expects Marco Scutaro to be in his lineup card for Game 3 of the NL championship series, two days after St. Louis slugger Matt Holliday plowed into the San Francisco second baseman. “I think so. It feels much better,” Scutaro said Tuesday night after participating in a workout at Busch Stadium. “I thought it was going to be worse. Normally, the next day is when you feel it the most.” Neither seemed too interested in any talk of retaliation. “What’s on our mind is to go out and play our best ball,” Bochy said Tuesday night, a day before the best-of-seven series resumes at Busch Stadium with the Giants and St. Louis Cardinals tied at one game apiece. “That’s over. You have to move on.” Scutaro said a shutout from Matt Cain would be perfect and knew nothing about get-even plans. If Matt Holliday approached him before the game, he joked that the Cardinals slugger would be in for a fight. The recollection of the play was vivid. “All of a sudden, I just saw this train coming,” he said. “I didn’t have time to do pretty much anything. I don’t even know how I threw the ball to first, but I think I did, huh?” He added that if Holliday had slid any farther, “probably you’re going to make it to shortstop.” Results of an MRI exam showed Scutaro has a strained left hip after Holliday’s late slide while busting up a double play. Bochy said Scutaro also had a sore left knee, and the manager had planned on holding him out of practice after the team flight arrived from the West Coast. “We’re being hopeful he can go,” Bochy said. “I will say he’s more optimistic about where he’s at right now than when it first happened.” Cain, who will face fellow 16-game winner Kyle Lohse, said little about any possible animosity. Cain
added that he wouldn’t be afraid to throw inside against Holliday. “You’ve got to go out there and pitch your game,” Cain said. “If something gets away from me inside, that’s kind of part of the game. You can’t have a fear of doing that.” The 36-year-old Scutaro was an unexpected find for the Giants, batting .362 with 40 runs and 44 RBIs in 61 games after being acquired in late July from the Rockies for a minor league infielder. He’s batting .250 with three RBIs in the playoffs, but has stepped it up in the NLCS, going 4 for 8 with two RBIs. “He’s driven in a lot of two-out runs and gotten rallies going for us as well,” Cain said. “He’s been really, really big for us.” Bochy reiterated his opinion that Holliday had made an “illegal slide,” but said he hadn’t talked with St. Louis manager Mike Matheny or anyone else on the Cardinals. “I don’t think there was intent, to be honest, hurting somebody,” Bochy said. “But it was late. Marco was behind the bag, he really didn’t hit dirt until he got behind the base. “And the second baseman, he’s in a position there where there can be some damage done, as we saw. He came out of this plenty good considering how hard he got hit.” Added Scutaro: “I don’t know too much about sliding rules, but I think it was a little late. I don’t think he was intentionally doing it.” Scutaro came out of Game 2 in the fifth inning because he was having trouble running, particularly side to side. He said his leg had gone numb, too. Pain in the left knee developed on Tuesday, and Scutaro said both the hip and knee were stiff during the workout. If he can’t start, Ryan Theriot would play second. St. Louis didn’t work out Tuesday after a latenight return flight to the Midwest. The exception was a 49-pitch simulated game by Jake Westbrook, who is recovering from a strained right oblique and is hope-
ful of rejoining the staff if St. Louis makes it to the World Series. After Game 2, Holliday said he relayed an apology of sorts to Giants catcher Busty Posey before his next at-bat. “I told Buster to tell Marco I wish I had started my slide a step earlier,” Holliday said. “I wanted him to know I wasn’t trying to hurt him. When a guy has to leave the game, I feel bad.” Holliday also defended his hard-nosed approach. “When I’m at first and see a grounder to short, I’m just trying to make sure they can’t turn the double play,” Holliday said. “He was right on second base. I hope he’s OK. He’s a good guy.” Back at home, where Holliday will get cheers instead of boos, Matheny said what happened is just part of the game. “To me, what I see is a guy who I’ve never seen one act of trying to hurt anybody,” Matheny said. “And I would never believe that’s what he was trying to do. I know what Matt’s intentions were and he was thinking about his team at the time.” Lohse hopes to end a string of early exits for Cardinals starters in Game 3. He’s all about efficiency, avoiding extended at-bats and letting hitters get themselves out. St. Louis has gone three straight games without a starter getting an out in the fifth inning. Matheny said travel days during the post-season lessen the burden and keep pitchers fresh. Still, he’d rather not keep making those early trips to the mound. “You have strong starting pitching, you have an opportunity to be successful,” Matheny said. “Otherwise, you’re fighting an uphill battle all the time and it seems like you’re constantly coming back.” Lohse needed just 87 pitches to complete a strong seven-inning outing his last time out. He did not get a decision in a 2-1 loss to the Nationals in Game 4 of the NL division series. Lohse worked six innings or longer and threw fewer than 100 pitches 11 times during the regular season.
Casey: conditioning all that’s lacking in Lowry’s game
REBELS: Happens quickly “It’s tough to make hard passes and execute when you’re not moving your feet. The game happens quickly around you when you’re standing still and we had a lot of guys who were standing still tonight,” said Wallin. “When we did execute passes guys were missing them. They were missing passes that were right on the tape. “I just didn’t think we moved our feet at all. We weren’t moving with the puck, we weren’t moving without it. We had guys standing still on the forecheck waiting for the next guy to do it. You don’t have success when you don’t work.” For Wallin, the most disappointing aspect of the setback was the fact the Rebels managed to win three games on their recent six-game East Division road trip by simply outworking their opponents. “On the road trip we got our work ethic up to where it needed to be,” said the Red Deer bench boss. “We were skating, we were moving, we were competing. That’s fallen off a bit here right now.” Rebels captain Turner Elson was every bit as critical of the team’s play as Wallin, if not more. “We were soft out there. We didn’t move our feet, we didn’t lay the body, we created no forecheck,” he said. “It was just a soft game on our part and we have to get back to what we know we can do. We’re not the most skilled team, we have to be able to work teams to the ground, be a work-hard team and be gritty out there and we didn’t do that tonight.” Asked if he was concerned that the Rebels seemed unprepared to face a top-notch opponent like the Blazers, the captain responded: “It’s concerning. I’ve tried my best to help get these guys going and feel like I’ve done a good job that way. It’s just a matter of their own preparation, I can’t do their preparation for them. I know I haven’t been at my best either and have to focus on what I have to do as well.” While the Rebels suffered their second setback after winning three in a row and fell to 5-7-0-1, the Blazers improved to 9-0-0-1. “We played hard. Obviously we didn’t give up a goal and that’s how we play,” said Kamloops veteran forward Brendan Ranford. “We play good defensively and can also get opportunities to put the puck in the net. “We have three lines that can score every night and our fourth line is really good defensively. We just played hard tonight and overall it was a good victory for the guys.” ● The Rebels were minus the services of defenceman Kayle Doetzel and Wyatt Johnson, both out with injuries.

ALCS: Faith “I’ve got faith in our bullpen. Coke did a great job in New York. He’s done a great job for us all year, so I was OK with it,” Verlander said. “And I was up around 130 pitches or so, so I don’t think

they’re just going to leave me out there and sacrifice the rest of the post-season just for this game, especially when Coke’s been throwing the ball extremely well.” The game ended with Nick Swisher on deck to pinch-hit, not Rodriguez. Verlander, the reigning AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner, came within three outs of becoming the first pitcher in 24 years to throw consecutive shutouts in the post-season, according to STATS LLC. Orel Hershiser did it for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988, blanking the New York Mets in Game 7 of the NL championship series and the Oakland Athletics in Game 2 of the World Series. Carlee Ness Valverde’s meltdown nearly cost Detroit the first game of this series, but the Tigers were able to win 6-4 in 12 innings. Coke closed out a 3-0 victory in Game 2 and was able to hold on Tuesday in a tense final inning. “The thing that you do is you keep encouraging the guys and you keep telling them, ’Hey, find a way, find a way to get it done,”’ Girardi said.

spot, hurt his groin just three days in, sidelining him for nearly two weeks. “Of course, me not being out there on the floor with my teammates, it was definitely difficult,” Lowry said. “I want to be out there competing and learning with them.” Lowry, acquired in the summer from Houston for a first-round draft pick and Gary Forbes, said he’s not feeling any pain in his groin, and is confident his conditioning will come around before the team’s opener Oct. 31 versus the visiting Indiana Pacers. “I’m still fatigued. I had 10, 12 days off for resting and rehab so my conditioning isn’t there, but there’s time, I’ve got 15 days to get right,” he said.
Tuesday marked the midway point of a camp that certainly most players would consider too long. “It gets to a point where you’re looking for somebody else to hit and they’re mad at me, they’re mad at each other,” Casey said. “They’re just looking for somebody else to focus on, and that’s the best thing about the regular-season starting.” Casey, however, was thankful for four more pre-season games before the real season begins. “We’ve got to get Kyle minutes where he gets a feel for the game, to knock the rust off,” the coach said. Rookie centre Jonas Valanciunas could use the extra time too, having played just two games after missing the beginning of camp with a calf injury.

“But he’s on top of what we’re doing offensively.” Lowry, who’s watched his team’s first three pre-season games from the bench, is expected to make his Raptors debut Wednesday when Toronto hosts the Washington Wizards. Lowry, known as a vocal and demanding leader, made some immediate noise at Toronto’s training camp in Halifax, barking out orders in scrimmages. His measure of toughness and skyhigh confidence was part of what attracted the Raptors when they acquired him in the off-season. But the 26-year-old, who could supplant Jose Calderon in the starting

TORONTO — Dwane Casey wouldn’t let Kyle Lowry sub out of drills Tuesday, saying that Toronto’s new point guard needed to run and shake off some rust. While the Raptors coach is confident Lowry is ready to run the offence intellectually, physically he’s got some ways to go after missing almost two weeks of training camp with a groin injury. “He looked good,” Casey said after Tuesday’s practice at the Air Canada Centre. “Mentally he’s there, physically he’s still working, he worked a little longer. . . just because he needs to run, he needs to work, and he understands that.

Willis looking to stop Lynch in Thursday night battle BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Patrick Willis had no chance last December to do his part in stopping Marshawn Lynch and helping keep San Francisco’s impressive streak alive: 36 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher. The All-Pro linebacker missed last season’s second meeting with the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, sidelined for three games with an injured right hamstring. And San Francisco’s run of holding rushers below 100 yards ended when Lynch went for 107 in the 49ers’ 19-17 win at Seattle on Dec. 24. Now, the Seahawks star comes to Candlestick Park for Thursday night’s prime time NFC West showdown with a healthy Willis waiting on the other side of the ball. “He runs the ball hard, a very elusive guy,” Willis said Tuesday. “He’s a very hard tackle. We’re going to have to have everybody swarming to the ball and not expecting one guy to make the play. He’s by far one of the best running backs in the league and will be one of the best backs we face all year long. We’ve got to face him twice.” And the Niners, tied with Seattle and Arizona for first place at 4-2, will be looking to bounce back from Sunday’s embarrassing 263 home defeat to the defending Super Bowl champion Giants. Slowing down Lynch will be a top priority if
the Niners are going to win this one. He ranks first in the NFC and third in the NFL with 549 yards on 128 carries. “Their running game is the bread and butter of their offence,” defensive co-ordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday. “And everything works off of that. He’s one of the best backs in the league. He’s the best back we played last year by far. He broke more tackles than any back we played against last year. He broke the most against us.” Willis was held out of the regular season finale in 2010 for the first missed start of his career since San Francisco selected him with the 11th overall pick in 2007 out of Mississippi — that time because of a broken bone in his hand. Then, going down again late last season for the NFC West champions was even harder for him. The 49ers went 13-3 and earned a first-round bye in the playoffs. “It was very tough. I’m a very competitive guy and I love being out there on the field any chance I get,” Willis said. “Sometimes you may take things for granted, but when you don’t get to do the things you love to do, it stings a little bit. I feel good. We feel good. We know Thursday’s a big game for us. One, because it’s the next game but also it’s a game in our division. We want to start it off right.” San Francisco’s streak of 36 straight games without a 100-yard rusher dated to Ryan Grant’s 129-yard day for Green Bay on Nov. 22, 2009.

Sweden gets unlikely draw in WC qualifying BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EUROPEAN WORLD CUP QUALIFYING SWEDEN SCORES FOUR STRAIGHT GOALS TO DRAW GERMANY, FRANCE ENDS SPAIN’S 24-GAME WINNING RUN ON WILD DAY OF QUALIFYING

Germany’s Miroslav Klose and Sweden’s Andreas Granqvist challenge for the ball during the World Cup 2014 Group C qualifying soccer match between Germany and Sweden in Berlin, Germany Tuesday.
LONDON — Spain’s run of 24 consecutive qualifying wins was halted by France on Tuesday, while Germany spectacularly collapsed to let Sweden fight back from four goals down to draw 4-4 in the campaign to reach the 2014 World Cup. It was also a frustrating night for Cristiano Ronaldo as his 100th Portugal appearance ended in a 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland. England didn’t even get a chance to play as a waterlogged pitch in Warsaw led to the match against Poland being postponed to Wednesday afternoon. World and European champion Spain led through Sergio Ramos’ header, but Cesc Fabregas had a penalty saved and Olivier Giroud clinched a 1-1 draw for France in the final attack. Germany had been rampant against Sweden, storming 4-0 in front by the 55th minute, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic began Sweden’s comeback seven minutes later and Rasmus Elm netted an unexpected equalizer in stoppage time. Italy, though, beat Denmark 3-1 despite playing most of the second half with 10 men, while the Netherlands maintained its perfect qualifying start with a 4-1 victory over Romania. In Madrid, Spain had looked like closing out a 25th consecutive win in qualifying stretching back to 2007. But in the fourth minute of stoppage time, Juanfran Torres gave away possession in midfield. Franck Ribery then crossed to Giroud, who headed beyond goalkeeper Iker Casillas to cancel out Ramos’ 25th-minute goal. Spain is now only ahead of France on goal difference in Group I, with Belarus three points behind after beating Georgia 2-0. In Berlin, Sweden coach Erik Hamren was celebrating an “historical” comeback that seemed implausible as Germany ripped through his team in the first half. Miroslav Klose scored in the eighth and in the 15th minute, Per Mertesacker added another in the 39th and Mesut Oezil made it 4-0 in the 56th. But Ibrahimovic, Mikael Lustig, and Johan Elmander scored in the second half,

A number of Red Deer Exelta Gymnastics Club athletes and coaches were recognized at the Alberta Gymnastics Federation annual banquet during the
before Elm snatched the point with a goal two minutes into injury time. Germany still leads Sweden by three points in Group C but its rival has played a game less. “I don’t know how to explain it,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said. “Normally, we would not waste a fourgoal lead. The problem seems to have been mental after 60 minutes. We became sloppy and lost our discipline.” In Bucharest, Jeremaine Lens headed the Netherlands in front in the ninth after goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu punched a ball to him, while Bruno Martins added a second from close range. Ciprian Marica pulled one back for Romania after dribbling past three players, but Rafael van der Vaart netted from the penalty spot before half time and Robin van Persie added a late fourth. The Dutch have a three-point lead in Group D over Romania and Hungary, which beat Turkey 3-1. Estonia claimed its first points by beating bottom-place Andorra 1-0. In Milan, Mario Balotelli returned to the Italy side for the first time since Euro 2012 as he set up Riccardo Montolivo’s opener and scored the third goal against Romania. Denmark had threatened to make a comeback when William Kvist made it 2-1 in first-half stoppage time after Daniele De Rossi’s second for Italy. Italy forward Pablo Osvaldo was sent off 16 seconds into the second half for a reckless elbow into Denmark midfielder Nicolai Stokholm’s face, but Balotelli made sure of the win that gave Italy a 4-point lead over Bulgaria in Group B. Bulgaria was held to a 0-0 draw at the Czech Republic. It’s tight at the top of Group A, with Belgium only ahead of Croatia on goal difference. Christian Benteke and Vincent Kompany scored twice in three minutes to give Belgium a 2-0 victory over Scotland, while Croatia beat Wales by the same score through goals from Mario Mandzukic and Eduardo. In Group H, after the deluge in Warsaw forced Poland’s game against England back a day, Montenegro joined the English on seven points at the top by winning 1-0 in Ukraine.

DUST CONTROL CONCERN SHARED FOR OPERATION ABOUT 10 KM SOUTHWEST OF PENHOLD BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF After an open house and the Red Deer County municipal planning commission delaying a decision in June, a gravel pit near Penhold has been approved. In a five-to-one decision, with Coun. Penny Archibald being the lone dissenting voice, the Red Deer County municipal planning commission approved the development of a gravel pit about 10 km southwest of Penhold nearby the C&E trail at their Tuesday meeting. One of the reasons Archibald voted against approval was the increase to traffic, which is estimated to be between 40 and 50 trucks per day during a peak period, and the residual dust and impact on the road. “That’s a lot of traffic, big traffic. It’s not cars,” said Archibald. “I’d like to see pavement. Then you don’t have road bans and you don’t have the flippin’ dust.” Dust control was a concern shared by other council members and there
is a condition of the agreement that dust control measures will include water or calcium chloride, or as may be directed by the director of operations. Trucks leaving the pit will turn north on the C&E Trail to Hwy 595. “I think we have to make a better commitment, if we’re going to approve these types of operations, on dust control agreements,” said Coun. George Gehrke. “It’s not just on the companies, it’s on us, too.” Bernie Kolkman, owner of Berko Services, the company responsible for the development and access plans, said the number of trucks that travel on the C&E Trail will be on a project basis and not consistent traffic. He said the 40 to 50 per day was the maximum amount of traffic and would be an infrequent occurrence. Concerns were raised regarding a road haul agreement made necessary to allow for proper sight lines. The county requires 400-metre sight lines to the north and south for vehicle traffic leaving the pit. To accomplish that at the proposed site, an agreement was reached
with an adjacent property to set up the access road 125 metres north of the site and onto a portion of their land. “I don’t like people using other people’s land,” said Archibald, adding friendships can change, which could affect the agreement. Kolkman said if the adjacent land owner were to have a change of heart, then the agreement would be off and the pit wouldn’t operate. The lifespan of the pit is expected to be up to five years. An estimated 122,000 tonnes of gravel is expected to be recovered. There were several letters of concern received before the motion was approved. These concerns focused around traffic, dust control, noise and safety for children waiting for the school bus in the area. As part of the agreement that the planning commission approved, the pit can only operate Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and must be shut down on Sundays and statutory holidays. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

COUNCIL
BRIEFS
Oil and gas well agreement reached The City of Red Deer will enter a new agreement on what should happen with a temporary pipeline and four producing wells that are in the path of future northeast development. City council supported the oil and gas facility agreement on Monday with Conserve Oil and Gas No. 2 Corp. The city will give Conserve two years written notice to abandon the wells and pipeline once there are plans for future development in the area. Some of the wells are sour, so they contain hydrogen sulfide, which carries potential health risks. This is not the first time an agreement has been reached concerning this oil and gas activity. The city started negotiating with NAL Resources in 2006 and at one time agreed to abandon the four oil wells and pipelines. The city would provide $467,000 for lost production and royalties. It was decided that six landowners involved should each pay a portion of the compensation since they were benefitting. The city collected the amount from landowners in March 2011. A new agreement was reached with Conserve, which bought the Joffre field from NAL in February 2011. The city has “agreed to a statement of principles” with Conserve and the six benefit-
ting landowners. City council was told that it was up to Conserve to pay for any land reclamation costs. The remediation will have to be done according to provincial standards, said administration. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com
Mayor declares day eradicate poverty Eradicating poverty in Red Deer will be on the mind of many residents today. Mayor Morris Flewwelling officially proclaimed Wednesday as The Day for the Eradication of Poverty in Red Deer. This day coincides with the United Nations’ International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, which has been observed on Oct. 17 each year since 1993. “Poverty isn’t just something that affects people in developing nations or in large urban centres,” said Social Planning Department manager Scott Cameron. “It’s a very real fact of life for many people here in Central Alberta, and it has a huge economic and social impact on our society.” The recently formed Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance (CAPRA) is working to enhance the public’s awareness about poverty and to encourage actions towards reducing poverty in the Red Deer region. Representatives include staff, as well as stakeholders from across the region. “Poverty is diverse in Central Alberta as rural and urban residents often experience it in different ways,” said Amanda Ens, community facilitator for the city. “One of CAPRA’s goals is to start conversations about poverty — this is an important first step that will help encour-
age people to get involved and create change no matter where they live.” This new alliance will host an information session at Safe Harbour Society at 5246 53rd Ave. from 9 to 11 a.m. today. People can also join the conversation on Twitter by using the hashtag #reducepoverty or by following CAPRA @CenAbPoverty. For more information on CAPRA, contact Amanda Ens at 403-342-8102 or at amanda.ens@ reddeer.ca.
Illegal drugs, herbs added to bylaw Smoking illegal drugs and herbal products have been added to the Red Deer’s Smoke Free Bylaw. City council unanimously agreed on Monday to support a motion put forward by Coun. Tara Veer to change the bylaw, which previously only referred to smoking tobacco. It allows the municipality to levy fines against those smoking in designated public spaces. Veer said while smoking illegal drugs such as marijuana is already a criminal offence, adding it to the bylaw gives local enforcement officers another tool to crack down on offenders. The issue came to light recently when Veer was at Rotary Park and saw four people smoking marijuana. If they had been smoking cigarettes, a bylaw officer could have given them a ticket. But that option wasn’t available for anyone smoking anything other than tobacco. “To me, there is an existing inequity in our current bylaw.” Veer said she hoped the changes would help reduce people’s exposure to secondhand smoke and help elevate community standards.
Homelessness definition debated Defining homelessness is not easy. Just ask Red Deer city council. It debated for some time on Monday whether to endorse a homelessness definition created by the Canadian Homelessness Research Network. Council was asked to endorse the definition so that it is on the same page as other communities and organizations when homelessness is discussed. The network’s lengthy definition says homelessness describes an individual or households “without stable, permanent, acceptable housing or the immediate prospect of acquiring it.” It is a situation not of their choosing, unless they are leaving a situation much worse. Homelessness also has various forms: unsheltered, emergency sheltered, provisionally accommodated and insecurely housed. The definition also says that “the problem of homelessness and housing exclusion refers to the failure of a society or community to ensure adequate systems, funding and support are in place so that all people, even in crisis situations, have access to housing.” Not all councillors agreed the definition was adequate. Coun. Chris Stephan said the definition assumes homelessness is entirely society’s problem and doesn’t take into account individual accountability. Coun. Paul Harris felt the definition did not reflect the importance of community relationships in ensuring people have places to live. The definition passed on a 5-3 vote with Stephan, Harris and Tara Veer against.

BRIEFS Police recover stolen property Three Hills RCMP executed a search warrant on a Delburne area farm on Monday and recovered $25,000 in stolen property. A man arrested on site is facing charges of two counts of possession of stolen property over $5,000. Police recovered a stolen 2007 Honda quad, a 2008 Topaz RV and two large slip (fuel) tanks half full of diesel. The property was allegedly stolen from the Red Deer and Airdrie areas. The investigation continues. Anyone with information about similar incidents is asked to call law enforcement or Crime Stoppers, toll free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), online at www.tipsubmit.com.
Requests for funding postponed A Red Deer College request for $2 million towards expansion and an emergency funding request of $60,000 from Central Alberta Theatre to help it survive at its downtown location have been postponed. Red Deer city council learned on Monday that both decisions would be put off, for different reasons. The college needs more time to bring additional information to city council, as requested in August. RDC is asking for the $2 million towards upgrading the college library, Donald School of Business, City Centre stage and Arts Centre technologies. Central Alberta Theatre did not have a solvency plan in place for Monday’s council meeting. CAT representatives say the money is needed to support operating expenses in the short-term. The troupe, which was formed more than 40 years ago in Red Deer, has outstanding debts of more than $700,000. Problems ensued because of major cost overruns related to the remodelling of City Centre Stage, plus the additional expense of running two theatres. It’s unknown when either request will return to council for consideration.
Contraband secured at Bowden Institution Inmate routines were expected to get back to normal at Bowden Institution on Tuesday, 24 hours after the federal prison was placed in lockdown. Rita Wehrle, assistant warden for management services, said that the lockdown was expected to be lifted at 1 p.m. At about noon on Monday, the medium-security federal prison was placed on lockdown so that staff could search the buildings. “We had intelligence there was contraband,” said Wehrle on Tuesday. “It was determined it would jeopardize the safety of the institution. We secured the contraband.” Details on what the contraband was have not been provided. The institution is home to 696 medium-security inmates and 117 inmates who live in the minimum-security annex.
Plea expected in December
proved first reading to the plan that will help map out future land use, developments and growth. “It has been a very long struggle to get here,” said Coun. George Gehrke. “Now we have to get ratepayers to look at it and get it all on the table.” An open house event has been scheduled for county residents for Nov. 20 at 1:30 p.m. at the Red Deer County council chambers to have a look at the document and discuss its contents. Councillor David Hoar said the new plan, which is the primary planning policy document for the county, will have an impact on the county as it outlines the framework and policy regarding residential developments and environmental stewardship, among many other topics. “We have to do everything we can to get people interested and wrap this up with as much public support as we can get,” said Hoar. The development plan has been in the works for two years and received first reading at the Oct. 16 county council meeting.
Name of accident victim released
A Red Deer woman charged with attempted murder after allegedly trying to run down her mother with a car will return to Red Deer provincial court on Dec. 4. On Aug. 8, Red Deer City RCMP responded to a complaint of hit and run near Gaetz Avenue and 67th Street in Red Deer around 8:30 p.m. They allege there was a verbal and physical confrontation between a mother and daughter in an alley behind the ATB Financial. Diane Stewert, 60, was taken to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Stacey Leigh Stewert, 32, was arrested without incident near Hwy 597 and Hwy 815 by Blackfalds RCMP. Stacey Leigh Stewert remains in custody. She is expected to enter a plea and a bail hearing will be held at her next court appearance.

Rocky Mountain House RCMP have released the name of the young man who was killed in a crash Hwy 11 west of the town early Saturday morning. Dylan Jay Redcalf, 20, died in a Calgary hospital following the two-vehicle crash shortly after midnight on Saturday, about 11 km west of Rocky. Rocky RCMP say a pickup truck struck the rear of a car that had stopped on the shoulder. There were six people in the car and the driver of the pickup was alone. The Jaws of Life had to be used to remove two of the six people from the car. Injuries ranged from minor to serious, with victims taken to hospitals in Rocky, Red Deer and Calgary. Police continue to investigate, said Const. Tom Meloche. Meloche said that Redcalf recently returned to the Rocky area to live after being in Sylvan Lake for a while. An obituary in Tuesday’s Advocate shows how Dylan was close to his family. He was an active member of the Aboriginal Resource Centre, encouraging his culture and working on continuing education. He was also described as a strong family person. A wake will be held at the Native Friendship Centre in Rocky today.
A funeral service will take place on Thursday at the Rocky Funeral Home at 11 a.m., with a burial to follow at the Pine Grove Cemetery.
Pitbull involved in attack destroyed The remaining pitbull involved in a vicious attack on a woman at Sundre Mobile Estates was destroyed on Oct. 9 following a dangerous dog hearing in Calgary. On Aug. 18, Sundre RCMP were called to a home at the trailer park around 2 a.m., where they were told two pitbulls mauled a 26-year-old Calgary woman. The other dog involved in the attack was shot by police when it charged them. The woman was found lying in a pool of blood behind a closed bedroom door and was so badly injured that emergency responders thought she was dead. Lawyers for the Town of Sundre pursued the dangerous dog hearing, which was held on Oct. 4 before Justice D. L. Veldhuis. Rita Phillip, 57, has been charged with one count of aggravated assault in connection with the attack. She is accused of ordering her two dogs to attack Deanna Wolfe. Phillip remains in custody and returns to Didsbury provincial court on Nov. 5 to enter an election and plea.
McIntosh House to become historical resource One of Red Deer’s most attractive historic homes may soon assume its rightful place under the Alberta Historical Resource Act. The picturesque 1906-built McIntosh House at 4631 Ross St. was listed as a Municipal Historic Resources in city bylaws some time ago, but was inadvertently not formally designated under the provincial act. City council unanimously passed a notice of intent to designate the house a historic resource on Monday. Once 60 days have passed, council can pass a bylaw designating the site. Built by Red Deer master mason Julius McIntosh, the two-storey brick house was a showcase for his talents. His father and grandfather developed the McIntosh apple. The home is now the McIntosh House Bed and Breakfast owned by Trudy Madole, who supports the historical designation.
RDC staff win accolades Nesbitt resigns from county seat From Victoria fiction to nursing education, Red Deer College instructors are making an impression far beyond their school hallways. On Monday, the college recognized seven faculty members with six awards and scholarships totalling $10,000. Daniel Martin was given a Scholarship of Discovery for Wilkie Collins and Risk, the chapter he contributed to the Blackwell Companion to Sensational Fiction, a prestigious and internationally-recognized series of scholarly companions. Martin is recognized as a leading scholar in the field of Victorian fiction. Louise Dyjur received a Scholarship of Discovery for her ground-breaking approach to address real-world problems that has the potential of changing nursing education practices. Dyjur was the first author of the article, Math for Meds: An Analytic Exemplar of the Social Organization of Nurses’ Knowledge, published in the highly-ranked, international, peer-reviewed journal Nursing Philosophy. Guillermo Barron was recognized with a Scholarship of Integration and Application for his work with Philosophers’ Café and the Annual World Religions Conference. The events have reached widespread
public recognition and participation, in part because they offer a safe place for addressing challenging and often controversial topics. Brandi Robinson received a Scholarship of Teaching for her presentation Want to Know If They Really Get It? Creative Evaluation. She presented the talk at the International Conference on College Teaching and Learning in Jacksonville, Fla. The work is described as innovative because it addresses contemporary trends in teaching and learning through the use of technology. Krista Robson was given a Scholarship of Teaching for her work with Community Service Learning in sociology. This approach enhances student engagement by taking sociology outside of the classroom realm where it usually exists, but also makes a positive contribution to the community, and benefits the college in terms of student recruitment and retention. Carlen Lavigne and Heather Marcovitch were granted the Scholarship of Discovery and Integration for their edited collection American Remakes of British Television: Transformations and Mistranslations, published by Lexington Books. The pair created the book, co-wrote the intro-
duction, edited the edition and each contributed a chapter. The collection is inter-disciplinary, including chapters by scholars in a number of areas, including English, communications and film studies. These awards have been handed out since 2008. Monday night was the second time they have been given out during a public celebration. Jason Anderson, chair of the Recognition of Scholarly Activity committee, said each recipient receives a certain amount out of the $10,000 as decided by the previous committee members.
BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF After two years as a Red Deer County councillor, Don Nesbitt has resigned and the seat will be vacant until the next election. Nesbitt was elected on Oct. 18, 2010, and tendered his resignation on Oct. 9, 2012. He said he has other plans now that affect his ability to be a part of council. “I just enjoyed it,” said Nesbitt. “I enjoyed the decision-making, I enjoyed the people we were working with. It was a great experience and it just happened that things changed in my life quicker than I thought they would. So I didn’t have a real choice.” “Councillor Nesbitt did an excellent job for Red Deer County,” said Mayor Jim Wood. “We wish him all the best in his new venture.” With the resignation and a municipal election just a year away, council decided to leave the seat vacant.

Council had the option to not hold a byelection because the general election, scheduled for Oct. 21, 2013, is less than 18 months out and they have six remaining councillors. Both Wood and Coun. Penny Archibald voted against the motion and in favour of holding a byelection. Archibald said she wanted to keep the numbers odd so there wouldn’t be a tie in some votes. “They’ll have a good year before we do another election,” she said. “A three-three vote, I don’t like at all. I like odd numbers.” Coun. David Hoar supported the motion, saying the next scheduled election was too close for a prospective councillor to have enough time to get up to speed, only have to turn around and run in an election again. According to the administration report, a byelection would cost anywhere from $5,000 to $7,000. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Art From the Streets show starts Friday
Death pays a visit — along with hell-bent hard rockers Diesel May — to this month’s edition of Bull Skit. The comedy shows that run on Friday and Saturday feature a bunch of new sketches. Troupe member Jeremy Robinson has written about foulmouthed men in a Chicago bar, as well as one of life’s leading characters — Death. Jenna Goldade will give us her take on women’s Halloween costumes and bra boot camp. Also, you will find out why Bull Skit member Serge Belliveau is singing such sad songs. Diesel May, a band that’s established its hardrocking presence around Red Deer, will perform songs from a new EP, Moonshine in Hell. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. There’s a cash bar. Tickets are $23 ($18 for students, seniors) in advance from Sunworks or by calling 403-341-3455. Please note that Bull Skit contains mature language and adult themes.
Kilroe brings impersonations to city Fresh from her two wins at a U.S. celebrity impersonators’ convention, Bonnie Kilroe will portray no less than a dozen female stars this week in Red Deer. Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Reba MacEntire, Shania Twain and many other country crooners will be part of Kilroe’s tribute act on Thursday at the Red Deer Legion. Since Red Deer fans were so good to Kilroe when her luggage was lost in transit a few years back, she’s returning with a whole new Country Queens and Vegas Divas show, which will include “special appearances” by Bette Midler and Cher. Kilroe was recently “overwhelmed” to win two awards from five nominations at Florida’s Sunburst Celebrity Impersonators Convention. For more information, call the Legion at 403-342-0035.
Photo exhibit explores truth, fiction Just in time for Halloween is Beyond the Looking Glass, a “creepy” photo exhibit by Rocky artist Roberta Murray. Murray uses her camera to explore the spaces where truth and fiction, dreams and nightmares blur. Her images of dolls and fairgrounds are deliberately manipulated to create atmospheric “stories” that can either be interpreted as creepy or serene. You be the judge. The exhibit that asks the question: What do you fear? is being presented by the Red Deer Arts Council in the Kiwanis Gallery of the Red Deer Public Library until Nov. 25. An artist reception will be held on First Friday, Nov. 2, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Fred Eaglesmith coming to The Hideout Freight-train-hopping country singer Fred Eaglesmith will bring his quirky story-songs to Red Deer’s The Hideout on Thursday. The alternative country singer from southern Ontario is known for writing about the peculiarities of rural life, including down-and-out characters, dogs, trains, guns and the loss of love. With 19 albums behind him, including his latest, 6 Volts, he’ll have plenty of material to choose from when he brings his Travelling Steam Show to town. Tickets to his 8 p.m. performance are $20 at the door. For more information, call 403-348-5319.
Rain: The Beatles coming The tumultuous, heady 1960s will be recreated when Rain: The Beatles Experience hits Red Deer on Thursday, Oct. 25. This touring version of the Broadway show that won the 2011 Drama Desk Award features four musicians who look and sound like John, Paul, George and Ringo — both at the start of their mop-top careers to their end of their hippie days. Rain takes the audience from the British invasion to the landmark performance of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show and at Shea Stadium to the band’s final albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be. The ’60s mood is maintained through original film footage and vintage TV commercials. Although the musicians who play the four Beatles evolve with the times, from sporting Nehru jackets to bell-bottoms, Rain is more of a concert experience than a typical Broadway show. There’s no real plot, except the trajectory of the historic band’s rise and fall. But the audience is invited to dance and clap along to the rock ’n’ roll. Although the show contains

etiquette, how much should one give? Society has changed so much in the past 50 years that I no longer know if this is someone raised without manners or if it’s OK to ask for money. -— Need To Know Dear Need: It is still poor manners to tell someone that you expect a present and that they should give you money so you can buy it yourself. You are under no obligation to follow these instructions. If you choose to give money (or any gift), how much you spend is entirely up to you. Dear Annie: “Florida Greetings� complained about the “high cost� of a postage stamp to justify emailing instead of writing. How petty. With the price of gas around $4, a loaf of bread more than $2 and a gallon of milk at least $3, a mere 45 cents may be the best bargain in town. Even with a fixed income, I manage to send notes to others who may have a brighter day because they found something other than bills and junk mail in their mailbox. When I can send something to California for less than half a dollar, I am grateful. -- Still Writing in Indiana Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Cineplex looking at new dishes to stir up interest at VIP cinemas
Health Canada orders recall on foaming soap THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A Quebec company is voluntarily recalling one lot of its antimicrobial foaming hand soap because the product has been found to be contaminated with bacteria. A spokesperson for Avmor Ltd., which makes professional cleaning products, says most of the unused soap in the affected lot is already back in the company’s hands. Paul Goldin, the company’s director of marketing and technical services, says there were 1,020 one-litre containers in the recalled lot. Health Canada says testing shows the soap contains the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can pose a serious health risk, particularly to people with weakened immune systems. The recall notice says the product, called Antimicrobial Foaming Hand Soap, is used in places like offices and hospitals. Goldin said if it is used in hospitals, it would not be used in surgical suites. To date there haven’t been any reports of illness associated with use of the product. Goldin says the product was originally distributed widely in Canada, with some of the product going to Atlantic Canada, Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. It is sold in a one-litre clear plastic cartridge with a foaming pump. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can trigger pneumonia, bone infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, meningitis and blood infections in people whose immune system has been weakened by conditions .

TORONTO — Canada’s biggest movie exhibitor hopes that a menu of new dishes from its corporate chef and the promise of a kids-free night will entice adults to pay a few extra dollars for an upscale experience at the movies. Cineplex is ramping up an expansion of its higher priced “VIP” theatres that cater exclusively to adults by offering larger seats, menu service, and a licensed auditorium and lounge. The company said Monday that it will install the new screens at three Ontario theatres, as well as build the first stand alone VIP cinema in Don Mills, Ont. Ticket prices for the high-end theatres typically range from five to seven dollars more, though Cineplex hasn’t said how much it will charge at the new locations. The exhibitor has also hired a chef to expand on the existing line of appetizers, which already includes calamari, deep fried pickles and macaroni and cheese wedges. An array of alcoholic beverages are also on the existing menu, ranging from beer to martinis. “We are satisfying a demand that we’ve had in the Greater Toronto Area for many years to add more VIP cinemas to the city,” said spokeswoman Pat Marshall in a phone interview. The company’s new chef will work from
Cineplex’s headquarters where the cafeteria will serve as “a test kitchen” for new food items that could later show up at the cinemas. The move is part of a broader expansion at Cineplex (TSX:CGX) of premium priced ticket options, which have helped drive box-office revenue even during quarters when Hollywood movies fell short of expectations. During the second quarter, premium priced tickets helped the company deliver record results, at a time when summer blockbuster “The Avengers” was the only massive hit.
