Stage 2 goes off without a hitch CROWD IN DOWNTOWN RED DEER LARGER THAN EXPECTED BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

Clearview resident ‘held hostage’ by race

The Devon to Red Deer route of the Tour of Alberta went off without a hitch despite a tailwind that brought in riders an hour ahead of schedule causing volunteers to scramble along the route. Riders started in Devon around 10:50 a.m. and were expected to reach Red Deer between 3:15 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. “They were riding so much faster this year than they have in past years,” said George Berry, local organizing committee chairman. “There was a 20 to 30 km/hr tailwind out there coming from Devon. They were in Ponoka when we thought they would be in Wetaskiwin. They were going up hills faster than anybody thought.” Despite the hiccup, Berry said the 200 volunteers quickly mobilized everybody on the street corners in Red Deer ensuring that the course would be in pristine shape for the elite cyclists. He said the crowd in downtown Red Deer was larger than expected. “I couldn’t tell you the exact number,” said Berry. “Looking out there were wall to wall people from the west end of Ross Street to the east end of

Red Deer’s bike race had one local resident impatiently spinning his wheels and he’s not happy about it. Merle Sebzda said he was on his way to an important business meeting when he found he was trapped in his Clearview neighbourhood because of road blocks set up for the race. “In my case, I was held hostage for 45 minutes,” said Sebzda, who said he finally got through around 2:45 p.m. Dozens of other drivers were also lined up along Cornett Drive, including one woman who was near tears because she had to go pick up her children. “They wouldn’t let her out of the neighbourhood.” Sebz b da sai a d he e’ss not o kno ock c ing g the e ra ace ce,, Ross Street.” Berry has been out in the community talking to people about cycling and professional racing since Red Deer was named one of the communities along the inaugural Tour of Alberta route. He said the turn out was awesome and may have turned a few people into cycling fans. Berry estimates the economic impact in Red Deer to be between

which he thinks is a good event for the city. But organizers need to plan better. “This was not an emergency situation. This was something where they could have very well diverted traffic through Rosedale and let people through. But they refused to do that.” If the tour comes back, organizers need to ensure that all neighbourhoods affected have an alternate route. Residents should also have been given more information about what roads would be closed, he said. When parades are planned, roads are closed but neighbourhoods are not sealed off, he said. “It wa as ju j st s def e initel e y po p or o pla anning. g” $500,000 and $ 1 million. Mayor Morris Flewwelling echoed Berry’s sentiments indicating this world class event was a money maker in the city and put Central Alberta on the map. He said the race is a showcase for Red Deer and Alberta. “It was wow from start to finish,” said Flewwelling. “It was just so exciting ... All of Red Deer turned out. When I got up to speak I was a little stunned.

I looked down the street and there was a crowd shoulder to shoulder and they were hyped to the eyeballs.” Duane Vienneau, Tour of Alberta executive director, said Red Deer’s organizing committee did a great job finishing Stage 2. Vienneau said there has been tremendous fan support since the prologue kicked off in Edmonton on Tuesday. Vienneau said these races cannot go ahead without the support of the community. He said Red Deer did a tremendous job. “When you do an inaugural event, you really don’t know what’s going to happen,” said Vienneau. “You build it for the best case scenario and right it’s all working out and weather has been on our side. All things considered, we’re very happy.” Like the Tour de France, the route changes every year. As soon as the Tour of Alberta wraps up on Sunday, organizers will begin planning for the next one. Berry said the committee will definitely be looking to hosting a “bigger and better” stage in 2014. Cyclists now race from Strathmore to Drummheller in the third stage of the Tour of Alberta. The race wraps up in Calgary on Sunday. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Man jailed two years for drunk driving fatal BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The 21-year-old accused of killing a teenage girl in a 2012 impaired driving crash near Stettler will spend the next two years in jail. Trevor James Dahl, 21, of Stettler pleaded guilty to being over the legal limit of 0.08 while driving causing death and to a breech of his recognizance in relation to the first charge in Red Deer provincial court Thursday. Jude Gordon Deck handed down the two year jail term, followed by a three

year driving prohibition. Koralea Boettger, then 17, was killed in the crash. Her mother, Janel Boettger said in her victim impact statement that the debt Dahl will have to pay will amount to very little for those who suffered. “We are all to used to a year or two in sentencing for DUI causing death,” said Boettger, outside of the courtroom. “Canadians need to tell the government that we want life to matter.” Dahl had been drinking at a party near Stettler on Feb. 11. In a two hour time frame he had consumed

three beer and three whiskey drinks. In a joint submission Crown Attorney Wayne Silliker and defence attorney Andrew Fong said Dahl was going to leave the party and Koralea asked for a ride. At about 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 11 police were called to a collision on a rural road near Erskine. On scene police said a truck had left the road and gone into the trees at the side of the road. Boettger, who was not wearing a seat belt at the time, was ejected. She was pronounced dead at the scene. An RCMP collision analyst said the car drifted into the opposite lane and

gradually drove off the road and into the trees. The defence said Dahl had hit a patch of ice and did not want to jam on the brakes and flip the truck. Police interviewed and arrested Dahl and the scene and demanded a blood sample, when Dahl did not provide one, police waited until he left the hospital and got a sample. Through retroactive sampling it was determined that when Dahl was driving he had a blood alcohol content of 0.136. Six victim impact statements were read in court. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Environmentalists say province barring them from oilsands hearing EDMONTON — Alberta environmentalists argued in court Thursday that the provincial government is keeping them out of hearings on a proposed oilsands development at least partly because of their concerns about the industry. The accusation emerged in court documents filed in support of the Oilsands Environmental Coalition’s bid to have a judge overturn a decision by Alberta Environment’s northern region director denying the coalition the chance to present its concerns in hearings on a proposal by Southern Pacific Resource Corp. (TSX:STP). “The Director ... breached his duties of procedural fairness as he took into consideration improper and irrelevant factors,” says the coalition’s brief. In March 2012, the coalition submitted a position paper on Southern Pacific’s application to build and operate an in-situ oilsands mine on the banks of the MacKay River in northeastern Alberta. The coalition, composed of the Fort McMurray Environmental Association, the Pembina Institute, the Alberta Wilderness Association and the Toxics Watch Society, has successfully filed such statements on 14 other oilsands developments. Coalition members hold leases to use land downstream of the project for recreational purposes. The director of Alberta Environment’s northern region — who is not named in the documents — questioned whether the groups met the government’s requirements for being “directly affected” by the project. The director asked for identities of the

Flood has established charities struggling to make ends meet CALGARY — The response from Albertans following June’s historic flooding was great but the impact of generous flood recovery donations has established charities struggling to make ends meet. Many agencies throughout southern Alberta are dealing with donor fatigue. Organizations are experiencing a massive drop in donations from both individuals and corporations. On Thursday, Easter Seals Alberta will host its biggest fundraising event of the year but as of Wednesday morning, they were only halfway to their goal of $300,000. At Inn from the Cold, an organization which helps homeless families during cold weather, the majority of donations are typically received in the last two months of the year. This year, the agency is taking measures to save as much operating capital as possible should this winter’s donations fall short of previous years. Officials with the Red Cross, the largest flood recovery charity, are reminding the public of the importance of supporting all charities. “It’s just been very difficult because the focus has been on floods,” says Sue Phillips of the Canadian Red Cross. “It’s so important to continue to support the operations and organizations on an ongoing basis, as well as the flood efforts, because both are very important.’ The Red Cross itself is facing the challenge of reduced donations for its non-flood recovery programs. All funds allocated to the organization’s Alberta flood recovery must be used for flood relief and can not be used to fund other Red Cross programs.

Edmonton man gets life sentence for brutal, fatal sex attack on senior EDMONTON — A 47-year-old Edmonton man has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years for a brutal and fatal attack on an elderly woman. Court was told Marvin Witzaney broke into a seniors’ care home in downtown Edmonton in May 2011 and sexually assaulted an 84-year-old woman who was asleep in her bed. The senior suffered extensive injuries and died in hospital eight days after the attack. Witzaney pleaded guilty to five charges including manslaughter and sexual assault causing bodily harm. Witzaney told a sentencing hearing Wednesday that he has no memory of the event so can’t explain his actions. The Crown and the defence offered a joint submission for a life sentence.

affected people, details of their activities, coalition membership requirements, home communities of affected members and details of the leased land. Southern Pacific asked the director on June 15 not to accept the coalition’s statement. On June 26 the director told the coalition its statement would be refused because it didn’t prove most of its members would be directly affected. Last March, the director compiled all the documents generated by Southern Pacific’s application. Among them, uncovered by the Pembina Institute through a Freedom of Information request, was an August 2009 briefing note to the deputy minister of Alberta Environment. The note acknowledges that statements from coalition members have been accepted in the past. “They were given the benefit of the doubt,” the note says. It goes on to say the coalition members are no longer involved in government initiatives such as the Cumulative Effects Management Association — a multi-stakeholder group from which coalition members quit in 2008 over concerns that its recommendations were being ignored. “As reflected in the Pembina Institute’s recent publications about the oilsands, (coalition members) are now less inclined to work co-operatively ... It has been decided that we should ask the Oil Sands Environmental Coalition to prove how they are directly affected on future applications.” The note adds: “With more parties providing submissions, there is a need to identify the groups or individuals who are truly directly affected.” minutes while the mother was shopping. A 33-year-old woman is charged with abandoning a child and wilfully causing a child to be in need of intervention. “Although the windows were left down in 20-degree weather, leaving a child alone in a vehicle is simply not safe,” Sgt. Gary Willits said in a police release Thursday.

Investigation concludes police not responsible for in-custody death EDMONTON — An investigation has concluded that two Edmonton police officers did not cause the in-custody death of a man who was Tasered during a struggle. The executive director of the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) says the officers were lawfully trying to restrain the 34-year-old man after his arrest in April 2012. Clifton Purvis says the man became violent in an office at police headquarters, stood on a desk and threw TV monitors at officers. Purvis says the man continued to struggle as he was taken to a cell and a stun gun was used on him to no effect. The man went into medical distress while he was restrained and died two days later in hospital. Purvis says an autopsy determined the man died of excited delirium syndrome. “I am satisfied after reading the full investigative report, witness and expert witness statements, and reviewing video surveillance of the majority of the event, that the officers ... were lawfully attempting to restrain a male who was described as possessing super-human strength,” Purvis said in a release Thursday. “I have determined the officers did not cause the death of this affected person in their attempts to control him and, therefore, no charges will flow as a result.”

Ex-soldier to plead guilty to numerous child porn charges: lawyer

A Red Deer man has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly trying to run down a pair of Lacombe police officers on Wednesday. The two officers narrowly escaped injury when they were nearly hit by a vehicle after trying to arrest a suspect a Lacombe residence about 11:30 p.m. Lacombe Police Service says the officers had gone to the residence after getting information that a man was there who allegedly assaulted a Red Deer City traffic enforcement officer earlier in the day after being pulled over during a traffic stop. Before fleeing, the driver had been identified and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Lacombe police later received information that a suspect was at an area residence and might be armed with a gun. Three officers went there and as they approached on foot a suspect got behind the wheel and aimed the vehicle at two of them. The suspect then drove west on 50th Avenue before getting on to Hwy 2 and racing at high speed towards Red Deer. As the suspect neared Red Deer, the chase was turned over to RCMP. A spike belt was used to blow out the vehicle’s tires as it entered the city. The vehicle then hit a tree and caught fire. The driver was arrested without incident and Red Deer Emergency Services put out the vehicle fire. A suspect was identified as the same one connected with the earlier assault. Weston Kleigh Pickford, 22, faces numerous charges including two counts each of attempted murder, assaulting a police officer, flight from police and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He is also charged with possession of break-in instruments and breach of probation. He is to appear in provincial court today. leen Connolly, said her client plans to plead guilty to some — but not all — of the charges, avoiding a trial. Richervezeau was charged last month after a lengthy investigation by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service that involved law enforcement agencies across North America. He joined the army in 2011 and served as an armour crewman with the Edmonton-based Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) regiment. He left the service voluntarily in May. Details of the allegations against Richervezeau have not been released, but Col. Rob Delaney, acting Provost Marshall of the Canadian Forces, said in August that it was an “exceptionally disturbing case of alleged child sexual exploitation using computers and social media.”

Tip from off-duty Mountie leads to two arrests A sharp-eyed off-duty RCMP officer spotted suspicious behaviour that led police to a pair of alleged thieves in Blackfalds. RCMP said the off-duty Mountie saw a woman going into vehicles along the town’s Chinook Street about 2:25 a.m. on Thursday. The officer called it in and while waiting for his on-duty colleagues approached a suspect in a vehicle and asked what she was doing. The woman then fled in a 2013 Dodge Avenger, which police later determined had been stolen from a local residence earlier in the evening.. About 2:50 a.m., police stopped the Avenger being driven by a 21-year-old man, who had an 18-year-old woman passenger. The man had outstanding arrest warrants and will be charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of a controlled substances and two breaches of probation. The woman will be charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of a controlled substance, mischief and failing to comply with release conditions. Blackfalds RCMP are warning people to lock their vehicles to avoid thefts. The Avenger was returned to its owner and no other items were stolen.

EDMONTON — The lawyer for a former Edmonton-based soldier says her client plans to plead guilty to some of the 119 child pornography and luring charges he faces.

COMMENT

FRIDAY, SEPT. 6, 2013

Quebec’s values failure Identity-driven initiatives have long been the bread and butter of the Parti Québécois. The sovereigntist party has a mostly successful track record of venturing where angels fear to tread and surviving to reap the electoral spoils of such expeditions. Over the years, a cacophony of protest about a PQ policy in the rest of Canada has come to sound CHANTAL like music to HÉBERT the party’s ears; it has usually been the prelude to a concert of support in Quebec. That may explain why the current PQ government seems so tone-deaf to the false notes it is hitting with a significant section of its usual audience with its proposed charter on so-called Quebec values and an attending plan to ban public-sector employees from

wearing religious symbols. In the lead-up to Monday’s presentation of the actual plan, government spin doctors have been trying hard to cast the controversy over its approach to religious rights as a clash between Quebec and the rest of Canada. In fact, some of the most pointed criticism has come from inside Quebec and from within sovereigntist-friendly ranks. Here is a sample: Françoise David is the leader of the sovereigntist Québec Solidaire. The left-wing party is so committed to gender parity that it actually has two leaders — one male and one female. David says she cannot fathom how the PQ charter would enhance Quebec identity. Louise Harel is a veteran PQ member who sat in the national assembly for more than 25 years before moving on to the Montreal municipal scene. She once served as interim leader of the Parti Québécois. She says governments should not be in the business of dictating values. Like others running in Montreal’s municipal election, she has distanced herself from her former party’s plan.

David and Harel have impeccable feminist credentials. Neither is buying the PQ’s argument that the principle that men and women are equal is at stake in this debate. Nor is Le Devoir’s Francine Pelletier — another leading feminist voice — who is similarly critical of Premier Pauline Marois’ approach. In a column on Wednesday, she warned that the government risked inciting bigots to strike out against religious minorities. Over at L’actualité, Josée Legault briefly served as an adviser to premier Bernard Landry on language issues. This week she wrote on her blog that to make a parallel — as PQ ministers currently do — between the current plan and Quebec’s 1977 Charter of the French Language (Bill 101) is to distort history. The Fédération autonome de l’enseignement du Québec represents one-third of the province’s public school teachers. On Wednesday, it called on the government to remove the crucifix from the wall of the national Quebec assembly and to drop plans to impose a secular dress code. Raymond Gravel, a priest who in his days as a Bloc Québécois MP defied

his bishop to support liberal policies on abortion and same-sex marriage in the House of Commons, was even less kind. Earlier this week he described the PQ’s intentions as “worthy of a dictatorship.” Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois was the media darling of the student leaders at the time of Quebec’s 2012 maple spring. This season he is part of a debating duo of pundits on Radio-Canada. But on their first joint appearance, he and his fencing partner — former magazine executive Lise Ravary — agreed to disagree with the government’s approach to religious minority rights. With the helium of its trial balloons on the charter having momentarily buoyed the party in voting intentions, the PQ’s brain trust seems oblivious to the reality that never has one of its identity-driven initiatives drawn as much friendly fire as this one. Or perhaps Marois simply does not mind being shot at as long as it is from Montreal’s progressive trenches. For this is a Hail Mary pass designed with the rest of Quebec in mind.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Drivers don’t know the law I am dismayed with the amount of distracted drivers there are in Red Deer. I drive across the city at least four times a day and it always amazes me how many folks are looking at their phones, texting, eating or drinking. Here is a prime example of distracted driving or possibly a driver not knowing the rules of the road: To the lady that turned onto 30th Avenue off Mackenzie Road at 4 o’clock on Saturday, Aug. 30, you need to pay attention or read your driver’s manual again. You sat at the stop sign long enough to drink out of your large cup, then proceeded to turn in front of me when I had the right of way after I stopped. The vehicle that is going straight at a twoway stop has the right of way. I hope you see this and take heed before you cause an accident. I was driving the black Navigator and did not appreciate your righteous glare. I also would like to remind folks there is a good reason why playground zones are 30 km/h. Little ones and dogs frequently dash out onto the roadway. I live across from a playground and very few drivers pay attention to their speed. Evelyn Pochylko Red Deer

A post-flood housing solution BY KATHLEEN CANJAR SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE A post-flood housing crisis is looming in Calgary. The race to bring to provide rental space for people, including the hoard of university students coming to the city, is on. With many people out of their homes because of the flood, both displaced residents and new renters are trying to get into Calgary’s renting market. As a consequence, Calgary’s 1.7 per cent vacancy rate has dropped to 0 per cent. Policy changes are urgently needed to help accommodate those looking to rent. Secondary suites could be the answer. These affordable options, also called basement suites or granny suites, are self-contained living spaces consisting of a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, located within a single family home, with a separate entrance, or as a stand-alone unit on the initial dwelling’s property. These suites provide affordable housing to those who need it and they can provide a source of additional income to homeowners. It is too bad Calgary’s city council does not see it this way. Mayor Naheed Nenshi has long made secondary suites a political issue, but his Council has not been successful in changing any bylaws. Rather than embracing secondary

suites, Calgary has implemented bylaws that restrict secondary suites. Secondary suites are allowed on a “discretionary basis,” dependent on zoning bylaws. Furthermore, homeowners are also restricted by rules concerning the makeup of the suite, including building height, site area, utilities specifications, amenity space, entrance, and parking. The most restrictive barrier is the zoning regulations. Calgary’s land use and zoning bylaws differ from community to community within the city and even from street to street. Furthermore, the zones where secondary suites cannot be built are largely those surrounding Calgary’s post-secondary institutions and the C-Train stations, exactly where students and other newcomers would like to live. Individuals and families who want to live in secondary suites often need quick access to transit and want to be in walking distance to post-secondary institutions. As a result, Calgary’s zoning bylaws work against those who need rental housing the most. The red-tape that homeowners need to cut through has caused many to shut down their secondary suites. It’s not worth the effort to fight city hall’s zoning regulations, which results in less affordable housing for Calgarians and a greater burden placed on homeowners to weather financial hardships.

Calgary’s municipal elections are in October and already city council is being grilled about how they intend to prioritize repairs to the city’s schools, parks, bridges and other municipal infrastructure. These issues are important. But what’s missing from the post-flood plan conversation are questions concerning how the city is going to help those who need accommodations. Modernizing regulations on secondary suites to foster a better renting environment should be a key part of the election. Hard questions need to be asked about what the city is going to do to ease the renting pains and to create bylaws that directly benefit those looking to rent. The flood’s aftermath should serve as a wake-up call to city politicians that it is time to change the landscape of Calgary’s renting market. Calgary’s housing situation could be better if the regulations on secondary suites were modernized and if the zoning laws were changed. This would create a more accessible renting market for the people displaced by the flood and for students returning to post-secondary education. In this post-flood housing crisis, the time for bylaw change is now. Kathleen Canjar is a research assistant at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy (www.fcpp.org).

PM stakes out firm positions at G20 HOWEVER, CONSENSUS ON SYRIA, DEBT REPAYMENT UNLIKELY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is taking a firm position on two controversial issues at this year’s G20 summit, with little hope of achieving a wider consensus with his fellow leaders on either front. With two cabinet ministers in tow to hammer home his messages, Harper made it clear that a military strike is necessary against Syria; and that countries should be setting hard targets for reducing their debts, as Canada is now doing. On Syria, an issue on everyone’s lips though not on the summit agenda, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Thursday there was little prospect of common ground with all G20 nations. That’s despite the addition of a meeting of approximately nine foreign ministers this week. “We’ve got to be very realistic. Nobody is coming here anticipating success. This is fundamentally an economic forum,” said Baird, who met with counterparts from France and Australia. “Obviously when you have this type of crisis, with the significant use of chemical weapons in recent weeks, there’s no doubt that casts a shadow. ... “What we hoped to have was a good dialogue on these issues. But certainly I and the prime minister were realistic that at this forum we weren’t likely to come to a conclusion.” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s press secre-

tary said earlier in the day that his country still did not feel there was credible evidence that the regime of Bashar Assad had used chemical weapons against its own people. Putin views any military action without UN sanction a violation of international law. Baird and Harper have had sharp words for Russia over several months, decrying its support for Assad and its blocking of stronger action at the United Nations. Putin greeted Harper with a polite handshake outside of the sprawling Constantine Palace as the prime minister arrived for the start of the G20 meetings. But there was no lingering chit-chat, nor was there between Putin and U.S. President Barack Obama or French President Francois Hollande — all leaders who support a military strike against Syria. On global economics — Harper’s preferred topic — the prime minister has taken an equally hard line on the need for countries to rein in spending and set firm targets for reducing debt. The Conservative government is promising a debtto-GDP ratio of 25 per cent by 2021. A year ago, the Finance Department forecast a ratio of 23.8 per cent by 2020-21 in a report on the aging population. Flaherty framed the debt-to-GDP ratio target as a question of balance, rather than austerity. “We are spending money on job creation and on job training, very substantial long-term infrastructure projects, so that’s one part of the balance,” Flaherty said. “The other part of the balance is making sure

St. Mary’s frosh week video ‘disturbing’: premier CONDONED RAPE OF UNDERAGE GIRLS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s premier says he was disturbed after hearing a student chant at Saint Mary’s University that promoted non-consensual sex with underage girls, but he hopes the school takes a measured approach in its response to the incident. “I think like everyone else, it’s disturbing,” Darrell Dexter said Thursday. “You know, kids, they often act without considering, necessarily, the consequences of the things that they’re saying. It was very disturbing.” The chant, posted on Instagram, condoned nonconsensual sex with underage girls. It was led by student orientation leaders at the campus in Halifax. University president Colin Dodds said he was shocked by the video and issued an apology on behalf of the school. Dodds said a senior school administrator and the police met with student leaders prior to the event and raised the issue of sexual assault and sexual consent. “However, I accept that I and the university administration have a role to oversee and guide student leaders. We failed in that responsibility,” he said in a statement. The province recently launched an ad campaign aimed at young men to educate them about consensual sex. The government has been focusing on raising awareness around consensual sex and bullying following the death of Rehtaeh Parsons earlier this

year. The 17-year-old attempted suicide after she was allegedly sexually assaulted by several young men at a party in 2011. Dexter said he thinks the students would have acted differently if they had thought about what they were doing. “I also felt bad for them as well, because I think if they had sat for a second and thought about it, they wouldn’t have engaged in that kind of behaviour, particularly in this province, it’s is a very, very sensitive thing.” Dodds said the school has called a special meeting with the executive and board of the student association asking them to explain what happened. Eighty student leaders involved in the school’s orientation week have been required to take a sensitivity seminar before the end of the month. Dexter said speaking to the students involved is a good idea, but he wants the school to take a measured approach when dealing with them. “I wouldn’t want to see something that harms the careers of the kids,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to see that happen.” Marilyn More, the province’s minister for the status of women, said she was dismayed after seeing the video, adding she would have expected people of that age to understand the inappropriate nature of the lyrics. More said it will take time to change attitudes around sexual behaviour. “These are certainly young people that we would have thought had given more appropriate thought to the whole issue of sexual violence,” she said.

Corruption suspects gave $2M to federal parties BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Dozens of suspects accused of corruption at Quebec’s municipal and provincial levels have also been involved in national politics, giving more than $2 million in donations to federal parties, an investigation by The Canadian Press has revealed. An analysis involving all 102 individuals charged after sweeps by Quebec’s anti-corruption police squad shows that nearly half — 45 of them — made registered legal contributions to federal parties from 1993-11. The actual extent of their connections to federal politics, however, may never be known. An ongoing public inquiry in Quebec has heard explosive allegations about illegal political financing, bid-rigging, collusion and Mafia ties in the province’s construction industry, but it does not have a

Conservative senators post expenses online BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Sen. Doug Black says he’s already getting questions about his $179.99 office coffee-maker. But the freshly appointed, elected Conservative senator from Alberta says public reaction to his online posting of itemized, taxpayer-funded expenses has been “overwhelmingly” positive — and “a ton of work.” The Senate expense scandal that continues to rock the Conservative government has prompted a common understanding on Parliament Hill that the reporting of MP and senator expenses requires much greater transparency, timeliness and vigour. Amid much partisan jockeying over reforms, it is two Conservative senators who are leading the way by example. Bob Runciman, a former Ontario cabinet minister, announced this week he’ll join trailblazer Black in the upper chamber by posting itemized expenses online every three months. Runciman says he’s trying to “help Doug out in encouraging others to follow the lead.” Black has been posting his expenses — right down to individual cab fares, hospitality charges and office supply purchases — since the spring. That coffee-maker was among the postings, and it didn’t go unnoticed. “People have already started that, absolutely, for sure,” Black said in an interview Thursday. “That is a risk. It’s out there. People are going to discuss it. No one can ever say we didn’t fully disclose it.” Nonetheless, said Black, “the folks in Alberta are overwhelmingly saying, ’thanks for doing that so we can get on to the real issues.’ “Because this is the problem: this becomes such a tremendous distraction.” Serious expense problems among three one-time Conservative senators appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and one former Liberal have consumed Ottawa for months. As the fall political season gears up, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is making hay by promising his MPs will unilaterally start posting their expenses in the same fashion demanded of cabinet ministers since 2005.

mandate to explore whether such activities have occurred in the federal realm. At the inquiry, industry players have described using political donations to gain influence at the provincial level and help unlock public funding for projects that had frequently been rigged at the municipal level. There have been only glancing and peripheral references to federal politics at the inquiry, which resumed this week after a summer break. But Elections Canada’s records do offer information on many of the 102 individuals charged following investigations by the province’s anti-corruption squad — a list of people that includes industry executives, engineers, city officials, municipal politicians and lawyers. The Canadian Press examined their donation history and the federal contributions of all 13 companies charged by the same Quebec corruption-fighting unit, which was created in February 2011.

you’re back to balanced budgets, and addressing the debt-to-GDP ratio in the medium term.” How countries can find that balance, as some struggle with staggering unemployment rates, is one of the dilemmas facing the G20. But on this front too, Canada can’t count on broad support. When finance ministers and central bankers met in July, they agreed to bolster growth before turning their attention to lowering deficits and debt burdens. Ironically, Putin is one of the few other voices in favour of stronger action on fiscal consolidation. “A common understanding of the necessity to find an optimal balance between fiscal consolidation and support of growth has emerged in hot discussions,” Putin said Thursday. Back in Canada, the opposition was unimpressed with Harper’s promise of debt reduction. Liberal deputy leader Ralph Goodale said the largest debt reduction came between 1993 and 2005, when his party slashed the debt in half from nearly 70 per cent of GDP. Goodale said Harper got rid of contingency reserves and increased spending to such an extent that Canada lost its cushion for weathering the recession in 2008. “It’s fine to use his bully pulpit to go out and preach, but the sermon doesn’t ring true from this particular preacher because he has not delivered on his own goals and commitments to Canadians,” Goodale said.

Assad’s troops battle rebels BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — Government troops battled al-Qaida-linked rebels for a Christian village in western Syria for a second day Thursday, while world leaders gathered in Russia for an economic summit expected to be overshadowed by the prospect of U.S.-led military strikes against the Damascus regime. Residents of Maaloula said the militants entered their ancient village Wednesday night. Rami Abdul-Rahman, the director of the Britain-based Observatory for Human Rights, said the fighters included members of the of the al-Qaida-affiliated Jabhat alNusra group. Despite a heavy army presence in the village, Abdul-Rahman said the rebels staged hit-and-run attacks there, at one point patrolling its streets on foot and in vehicles, and briefly surrounding a church and a mosque before leaving early Thursday. The rebels launched the assault on Maaloula — which is on a UNESCO list of tentative world heritage sites — on Wednesday after an al-Nusra fighter blew himself up at a regime checkpoint at the entrance to the mountain village. The village, about 40 miles (60 kilometres) northeast of Damascus, is home to 3,300 residents, some of whom still speak a version of Aramaic, the language of biblical times believed to have been used by Jesus. Heavy clashes between President Bashar Assad’s troops and Nusra Front fighters persisted in the surrounding mountains, according to the Observatory, which collects information from a network of anti-regime activists in Syria’s civil war. Speaking by phone from a convent in the village, a nun told The Associated Press that the rebels left a mountaintop hotel Thursday after capturing it a day earlier. The nun said the frightened residents expect the Islamic militants to return to the Safir hotel

Thousands of Syrians, most of them Christians, celebrate the Christian Day of the Cross, by setting a fire on top of a mountain in the village of Maaloula, north of Damascus, on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2006. Syrian government troops battled al-Qaida-linked rebels over a regime-held Christian village in western Syria for the second day Thursday, as world leaders gathered in Russia for an economic summit expected to be overshadowed by the prospect of U.S.-led strikes against the Damascus regime. and resume shelling of the community below. “It’s their home now,” the nun said, speaking on condition of anonymity because she feared reprisals. She said about 100 people from the village took refuge in the convent. The 27 orphans who live there had been taken to nearby caves overnight “so they were not scared.” Elsewhere Thursday, a car bomb exploded outside a research centre belonging to the Ministry of Industry in area of Soumariya near Damascus, killing four people and wounding several others, a government official said.

The official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters. Three people were wounded when mortar shells hit two residential neighbourhoods of Damascus, the state news agency SANA reported. Rebels fighting to topple Assad have frequently fired mortars in the capital, seeking to thwart attempts by the regime to portray life there as normal despite the civil war that rages across Syria. In the northern province of Aleppo, a Syrian surgeon working for an international aid group was killed. Doctors

Obama presses world leaders, aides push Congress on use of military force BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s advisors were pressing Congress on Thursday, this time in closeddoor meetings, for its authorization of a military strike on Syria, while the president arrived at a G-20 summit to certain questions and skepticism from other world leaders. That includes the event’s host, Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin, an ally of Syria and President Bashar Assad, is a reminder of resistance to U.S. pleas for Moscow to intervene after a deadly chemical weapons attack last month in the Damascus suburbs. The Obama administration says more than 1,400 people were killed. Other estimates are lower, and the Syrian government denies responsibility, saying opposition rebels were to blame. Obama and Putin shared a 15-second greeting and may talk on the sidelines of the summit. But frustration showed. At the United Nations, new U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power lashed into Russia, accusing it of holding the Security Council “hostage” by blocking action against its ally Syria. She spoke as Obama, Putin and other leaders were arriving for a working dinner. Obama also was making calls to members of Congress while he attends the two-day economic summit, Ben

Rhodes, the deputy national security adviser, told reporters. In Washington, the administration turned its attention to the opposition Republican-controlled House of Representatives after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 10-7 Wednesday to authorize the “limited and specified use” of armed forces against Syria. It voted to support a resolution that restricts U.S. military action to 90 days and bars ground troops from combat. The vote marked the first formal response in Congress, four days after Obama surprised the world by putting off an anticipated cruise missile strike against Syria and instead asked lawmakers to unite behind such a plan. The administration’s plan for military action in Syria needs approval from committees in both chambers and then approval from both full chambers to go ahead. The measure is expected to reach the Senate floor next week. The timing in the House is more uncertain. But Obama on Wednesday, asked whether he would take action if he fails to get approval from Congress, told reporters in Sweden that as commander in chief, “I always preserve the right and the responsibility to act on behalf of America’s national security.” Secretary of State John Kerry has said he believed Obama would address the nation on Syria in the next

few days. The president returns home tonight. Few, if any, members of Congress dispute the Obama administration’s claim that Assad was responsible for the chemical weapons attack. But many Republicans and Democrats in the House question why the U.S. should get involved now in a Syrian civil war that has killed an estimated 100,000, displaced millions and is in its third year. The chamber’s most powerful Republicans, House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, have expressed support for military action, but others in their party remain reluctant or opposed. Days from a vote, an Associated Press survey of senators found 34 of its 100 members supporting or leaning toward military action, 26 opposed or leaning against and 40 undecided. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, acknowledged the lack of popular support for military intervention. “It weighs on me,” she said. “There’s no question: What’s coming in is overwhelmingly negative.”

Without Borders said the 28-year-old surgeon, Muhammad Abyad, died in an attack. Abyad, whose body was found Tuesday, had been working in an Aleppo hospital run by the group. The conflict started in March 2011 as largely peaceful protests against Assad’s rule. It turned into a civil war after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent. Two years of fighting have led to a stalemate, with the rebels controlling much of the countryside in the north, east and south, and the regime holding most urban centres in the west, where the majority of Syrians live. The four-decade iron rule of the Assad family long has rested on support from Syria’s ethnic and religious minorities, including Christians, Shiite Muslims and Kurds. The Assad family and key regime figures are Alawites, followers of an offshoot of Shiite Islam, while most rebels and their supporters are Sunni Muslims. More than 100,000 people have been killed, with nearly 7 million people uprooted from their homes. U.N. officials estimate that 5 million have been displaced inside the country while another 2 million have fled to neighbouring countries. The total amounts to nearly a third of Syria’s population, which was 23 million before the fighting began. U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos met with Syrian government officials in the capital, lobbying for access to civilians trapped in areas where fighting has raged. After meeting with the president of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, Amos told the AP that she is “extremely concerned that the situation on the ground is becoming worse.” An alleged chemical attack near Damascus in August has brought the U.S. to the brink of launching punitive airstrikes after the Obama administration concluded that Assad’s forces were responsible.

Afghan militants kill author BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan — An Indian woman whose memoir about life under Taliban rule was turned into a Bollywood movie was shot dead Thursday by suspected members of the Islamist militia, officials said. The killing of Sushmita Banerjee was the latest in a string of attacks on prominent women in Afghanistan, adding to fears women’s rights in a country where many are barely allowed outside the house will face setbacks after U.S.-led foreign forces fully withdraw in 2014. The militants arrived before dawn at Banjerjee’s residence in eastern Paktika province, which lies in Afghanistan’s east — a region where the Taliban are especially influential. Her husband, Jaanbaz Khan, answered the door, only to be quickly bound and blindfolded, provincial police chief Gen. Dawlat Khan Zadran told The Associated Press. The militants then dragged Banerjee outside, took her to a nearby road and shot her at least 15 times, Zadran said.

CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt’s interior minister escaped an assassination attempt Thursday when a suspected car bomb struck his convoy in a Cairo neighbourhood, in the first attack on a senior government official since the country’s Islamist president was toppled in a coup two months ago. The blast targeting Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police force, fueled concerns over a possible wave of violence in retaliation for the July 3 ouster of Mohammed Morsi and the ensuing crackdown on Islamists. At least 22 people were wounded, including police and civilian bystanders, and some vehicles in Ibrahim’s convoy were heavily damaged— though he was not hurt. Security officials said initial investigations showed it came from a parked car loaded with explosives in the trunk. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was not yet complete. The attack echoed the sort of insurgency-style methods that Islamic militants have increasingly used in Egypt’s tumultuous Sinai Peninsula. Last month, militants there attempted a suicide car bombing but were killed by police before carrying RANGE it out. The bombing also harkened back to the insurgency waged by Islamic militants in the 1980s and • True convection system 1990s against the rule of • 5 cooking elements • Consistent heating now-ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The family of Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro planned to claim his body Thursday as investigations sought to determine how a man who was perhaps Ohio’s most notorious prisoner managed to hang himself with a bedsheet while in protective custody. Castro was a month into his life sentence for holding three women captive in his home for a decade when he committed suicide Tuesday night. Ohio prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said two reviews ordered Wednesday by Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Director Gary Mohr were under way. One inquiry will look into the suicide itself, and the other is examining whether Castro received proper medical and mental health care leading up the suicide. Smith said Castro’s family members were claiming his body from the coroner’s office Thursday. Castro, 53, had been taken off suicide watch while in county jail and was in protective custody in prison, which involves checks every 30 minutes. He had been sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and rape, in a deal to avoid the death penalty. “I’m not a monster. I’m sick,” he told the judge at sentencing.

Fukushima operator provided misleading information TOKYO — Japan’s nuclear regulator harshly criticized the operator of the damaged Fukushima power plant on Thursday, saying it released misleading data about recent leaks of radioactive water that fanned fears excessively.

Dillier does the job SWISS RIDER GETS SURPRISE WIN IN SECOND STAGE OF TOUR OF ALBERTA BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Go ahead and call him a surprise winner. Silvan Dillier called himself just that Thursday after nipping Serghei Tvetcov at the finish line in downtown Red Deer to win the second stage of the Tour of Alberta. “Here I am a little surprised about this win because I didn’t come to this race and say now I am going to win this,” said the Swiss rider and member of the BMC Racing Team. “Probably you say I’m here to help my leaders from the team and to get them in a good place. I’m a little bit surprised now.” Dillier and Tvetcov, from Moldova and a member of the Jelly Belly team, broke away from the pack about 30 km east of the city and were a good 90 seconds ahead of the next rider when crossing the line for the first time before making three additional four-km cycles within Red Deer. “There was a right-hand corner before the climb (hills east of Red Deer), a little more than 30 kilometres to go,” said Dillier. “I said (to Tvetcov) that we have to go fast and try to keep the distance. We actually knew then that we had a chance (to break away) but that we had to go as hard as possible.” At the finish line of the 175 km stage that started just after 11 a.m. at Devon, Dillier and Tvetcov were both clocked at three hours, 32 minutes, 47 seconds. Slovak rider Peter Sagan, who won Wednesday’s opening stage, closed the gap within the city to finish third — 16 seconds back — and kept his yellow jersey with a 26-second lead over Australian Rohan Dennis. Sagan, a member of the Cannondale Pro Cycling team whose total time for two stages is 7:03.34, said he never considered chasing down the front-runners as they approached Red Deer.

Burke brought in to help Flames BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — One of the NHL’s biggest personalities vows to work in the background for the Calgary Flames. Veteran hockey executive Brian Burke was named the team’s president of hockey operations, a position the Flames created for him in an effort to return to the playoffs after a four-year absence. Burke will “assume overall responsibility of the sport side of the Calgary Flames.” General manager Jay Feaster will report to Burke, while Ken King remains president and CEO of the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation. In addition to the Flames, the company encompasses the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat, the Western Hockey League’s Calgary Hitmen, the Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders and the National Lacrosse League’s Roughnecks. Burke’s description of himself on Twitter is “a dash of

Newly named Calgary Flames President of Hockey Operations Brian Burke is pictured during a news conference in Calgary, Thursday. truculence”. He’s brutally honest and unfiltered, so reporters both love and loathe him depending on the day. “I don’t intend to be front and centre,” Burke said Thursday during a news conference at the Scotiabank Saddledome. “That would be a nice break after being front and centre and getting into a lot of little scraps in the media. I know people think I need to be driv-

ing the bus all the time. I’m actually a pretty good teammate. “The guy you should talk to every day should be the coach. The transactional guy, if you make a trade . . . the guy that should explain it should be the guy that pulls the trigger on the trade and that’s Jay.” Flames owners aren’t normally present at team announcements, but chairman Murray Edwards and others in

the ownership group sat in the front row of seats Thursday. Burke was fired as president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs in January. He had been working as a part-time scout with the Anaheim Ducks since February. Reporting to Burke instead of King is the only change Feaster expected in his job description. “To be able to bring somebody in who has won a Stanley Cup, who has taken a team to that lofty level and who has been in the game in as many capacities as Brian has been throughout his career, to be able to tap into that wealth of knowledge on a daily basis, it’s a great thing,” Feaster said. “I endorse it as the GM.” A dual citizen of the United States and Canada, Burke sits on the board of directors for Rugby Canada and is the director of player personnel for the American men’s hockey team at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. He was general manager of the U.S. team that won Olympic silver in 2010. He also won

a Stanley Cup as GM of the Ducks in 2007. “Brian’s worked pretty hard in our game to do a lot of different things,” Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf said. “Obviously I’ve seen first-hand what he can do. I’m happy that he’s back to work and I’m sure that’ll make him happy.” It took some convincing by King for Burke to accept the Flames job because he wasn’t clear on what it entailed. As part of his research into similar pro sports management models, the 58-year-old lawyer said he consulted Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti. “This is a relatively new structure in professional hockey,” Burke said. “There are two teams in the NHL that have this type of management structure. There are a number of teams in the National Football League that do, a number of teams in Major League Baseball that do and a number of teams in the NBA that do. And it works effectively. And it’s going to work here.”

Eskimos O-line has something to prove BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — It will be a thoroughly ticked-off Edmonton Eskimos offensive line that takes the field today for their CFL rematch with the Calgary Stampeders. While they were laughing and having fun at the end of the team’s walkthrough Thursday, the linemen said afterwards they are an upset group — angry at their performance for the first 50 minutes of their 37-34 loss in Calgary and further annoyed by comments Monday from general manager Ed Hervey, who called out guard Simeon Rottier. “When he calls out one guy like that, you have to respond,” Thaddeus Coleman said of Hervey’s comments. “He’s (Rottier) still your brother, he’s still here. But we have to move forward, everybody has to step up. Get a win all

this stuff goes away.” Hervey’s declaration that Rottier would not play today, and he didn’t care if he played again this season, prompted several changes to the line. The 1-8 Eskimos will go an offensive line with three imports, a rarity in the CFL. Tackles Coleman and Cliff Louis and guard Miles Mason are also all rookies. Head coach Kavis Reed said he can’t remember the Eskimos ever playing three imports on the line but said it’s possible because the team has had the flexibility most of the season. They played an import short the last two weeks so there’s also room for slotback Adarius Bowman to come off the nine-game injury list for Friday’s game against the 7-2 Stamps at Commonwealth Stadium. Coleman on the left side and centre Alexander Krausnick remain intact. Matt O’Donnell moves from right tack-

le to left guard, Mason moves from left to the right side and Louis comes back on the roster to play right tackle. “It’s a new life for us,” O’Donnell said of the distractions and changes this week. He said that after Monday’s loss, in which quarterback Mike Reilly was sacked seven times and the Eskimos fell behind 37-7 before scoring 27 points in the final eight minutes, the linemen took a hard look at themselves and their performance. “We owe this team, we owe the offence, we owe the coaches, we owe the fans,” he said. “We have to stop playing good here, bad there and somewhere in between. We have to come out for 60 minutes every game from now on.” Coleman said the linemen were both upset, yet a little pleased in the end coming out of Calgary. “It was half and half. We were

pissed off we lost but happy with way we finished,” he said. “You have to be proud about that part, we kept fighting, kept fighting.” Reed said being upset can work either way, but he sees the line as a microcosm of the character of the Eskimos. “They have tremendous pride, tremendous character,” said Reed. “I believe regardless of what was said, that group was going to respond positively. I expect, and they expect, a better performance.” Reed said he truly believe the adjustments “will make us better. I can sleep tonight believing we have made the right adjustments and our players will adjust as well.” With Bowman and Louis being added to the roster, Donovan Alexander goes on the one-game injury list and defensive back Deanate Purvis was moved to the practice roster.

Lightning strikes down on Stettler HUNTING HILLS OFFENCE IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP WHILE DEFENCE STOOD STRONG BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Lightning 49 Wildcats 7 It wasn’t perfect by any means, but the Hunting Hills Lightning looked like a team that wasn’t about to give the Central Alberta High School Football League title away without a fight. The Lightning scored the first four times they touched the ball and rolled over the Stettler Wildcats 49-7 in non-conference play before over 300 fans at Great Chief Park Thursday. Lightning head coach Kyle Sedgwick liked what he saw from his offence, but felt there were a lot of things to work on before the team opens conference play Thursday against the Lakers in Sylvan Lake. “Defensively we need to do a lot of work,” he said. “They had two drives over six minutes in the first half alone and ran the ball against us. We are undersized and we were gassed at times because we didn’t get off the field. We told the line that they can’t be waiting for someone else to be doing the job. They’re the ones in there now and have to make the plays. Our linebackers did a good job, but they’re a bit undersized as well and the line can’t be letting the offensive line get to them.” Still the defence improved as the game wore on. In fact late in the first half Riley Gasser made an outstanding play to stop the Wildcats on a third and one. Four plays later Jin Ahn darted in from the five to make the score 28-7 at the half. “It seemed that the flow the game turned a bit on that play by Ri-

It’s also great we score on 50-yard runs, but if the defence is on the field

for six minute drives and the offence scores right away it means a tired defensive group will be back on right away. “We need to control the play on defence as

well and that means coming out ready to play from the outset.” But while the defence needs experience, which will come, the offence led by running backs

Matt Russell and Ahn was impossible to stop. Both Russell and Ahn scored three touchdowns each with Ahn carrying the ball eight times for 194 yards and Russell six times for 102. Tanner Whitelaw scored the other touchdown on a 13 yard run in the fourth quarter. Skylar Roth kicked five converts and quarterback Jarrett Burzuk hit Ashton Hall on a two-point convert. Burzuk was three-ofsix passes for 37 yards while Brett Barrett hit two-of-three for three yards. “Because of our quick-strike running game we didn’t get a chance to work on some things we planned on working on,” said Sedgwick. “But our backs just made the plays. They’d turn a 10-yard run into a 50-yard touchdown and so we didn’t get a chance to see a lot from our quarterbacks in terms of throwing the ball. But then when they did have to make a play they did a good job.” Wildcats head coach Norbert Baharally could only shake his head when talking about the Lightning ground game. “Defensively I thought we could handle them a bit, but they have some very good backs with a lot of speed and once they got into space we couldn’t catch them.

They are big time players.” The Wildcats came into the game a bit shorthanded and had to use a number of players both ways. “We’ve lacked bodies since the fall camp. We’re lucky to have 24 guys out at a practice,” said Baharally. “I was actually impressed considering we haven’t had a lot of reps so far. We also had two guys on the offensive line who have never played football before and they did OK.” Thomas Cassidy led the ‘Cats with 50 yards rushing on 16 carries while quarterback Stephen Zuk hit on six-of-16 passes for 53 yards. Zuk scored the lone touchdown on a seven-yard run while Frank Van Ommeren kicked the convert, which made the score 13-7 midway through the second quarter. The Wildcats return to action Friday when they visit Camrose. In other non-conference play Thursday, the Wetaskiwin Sabres edged the Lakers 28-27 in Wetaskiwin.

Raiders looking to returning players for success in 2013 BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF The Lindsay Thurber Raiders will still be one of the younger teams in the Central Alberta High School Football League this season, but they won’t be lacking experience. “We didn’t graduate that many and have a real strong group of Grade 11s and 12s returning,” said Raiders head coach Dave Smith. “Plus we have a whole bunch of good Grade 10s up from our junior program.” The Raiders, who have 62 players in camp, did lose their top running back, Todd Tulman, but will return second-year and Grade 11 quarterback Braydon Moorman, who Smith feels is developing into one of the better pivots in the conference. “He has one more year under his belt and you can tell he’s developing as a quarterback,” said Smith. “He’s maturing, seeing the field better and developing exactly how we want him to. “Plus it’s nice that we have a talented backup in Ben Pasiuk, who is up from the juniors.” Pasiuk was one of the premier bantam players in the province last year and will see duty in the offensive backfield as well. “He’s a gifted player and we’re definitely looking forward to seeing what he will do.” Brad Pope, who is also up from the bantam program, will see duty at running back along with Bryce Maki and Sam Vesely, both of whom will also play in the defensive backfield. “We definitely feel we have a wealth of talent in the backfield and we only lost our centre off the of-

Cougars will need rookies to shine NOTRE DAME BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR If the Notre Dame Cougars are to reach the Central Alberta High School Football League final for a second successive year, head man Gino Castellan and his staff will have to employ their coaching skills more than ever. Unlike the 2012 season when the Cougars were loaded with veterans — including several at the skill positions — and fell 27-26 to the Hunting Hills Lightning in the championship game, this year’s squad is loaded with newcomers. “We have good numbers with close to 50 bodies, but we’re really young. We have 25 Grade 10s,” said Castellan, whose team opens non-conference play tonight versus the Ponoka Broncs at 7:30 p.m. at Great Chief Park.

“It’s absolutely a rebuilding year for us. For the past two weeks we’ve been doing a lot of skill work and just getting these guys to the point where they can at least compete.” The 2013 Cougars are minus the likes of quarterback Kieran Pruden, who passed for a leaguebest 918 yards last season, and Myles Corsiatto, the league’s top rusher with 698 yards. Also gone are receiver Jordan Briault (291 yards with four touchdowns), kicker Luis Moreno, punter Logan Hughes and defensive back Darian Banack, who had two interceptions last year. Kaelan MacDonald will handle quarterbacking duties this year and will aim for rookie slotback Taylor Vada and hand off to firstyear running back Roberto Mkumbukua. “I think Kaelan is going to have a good year. He’s only in Grade 11 but he played quite a bit last year,” said Castellan. “He knows the system and we’ll see how well

he does.” Team Alberta pick Joe McQuay and Spencer Nielsen will anchor a strong offensive line, while other key returnees include linebackers Luke Castellan and Luc Laplante and defensive back Jesse Kowalchuk. “Our offensive line is going to be pretty good and if we do switch a few people around I think we’ll be strong in other areas as long as we’re injury-free,” said the longtime Cougars head coach. “We have some good athletes, but they’re raw,” he added. “But we will get better as the season goes on. We have only six to eight Grade 12s, but we’re still shooting to make the playoffs and see what happens from there.” Castellan has added one of his former players — Pat Callan — to his coaching staff which consists also of Ted Brode, Adam Donovan, Dale Henderson, Gary LaGrange, Dave Laplante, Al McQuay, Ole Stearns and Ian Watson. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

fensive line,” said Smith. Grade 12 right guard Tanner Warren will be one of the anchors on the line while Tony Morrelli, who played with the midget Prairie Fire, will be at left guard. “We have several players who played with the Prairie Fire, which was great for their development,” added Smith, who could use his linemen to go both ways. “But really we have a big enough roster we’re hoping we don’t have to have guys going both ways, although early on we may have to as some of the new guys get their feet wet.” The Raiders will have time to work on their game as they open the season with a pair of non-conference games that don’t count in the standings. They opened with a 44-12 win over the Trojans in Camrose Thursday and host the Rocky Mountain House Rebels next Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Great Chief Park. “Playing a pair of exhibition games right off the bat takes a little pressure off and gives us a chance to see exactly what we have and for the younger players to gain some experience. It’s a big jump from bantam to high school,” said Smith, who looks for linebacker Cody Hawkes to anchor the defence. As well Owen Smith, who also played with the Fire, returns at safety and as their place kicker. Pasiuk scored three touchdowns against Camrose while Bryce Maki and Brad Pope added one each.

Manning mows down Ravens THROWS SEVEN TD PASSES IN ROMP OF DEFENDING CHAMPIONS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Broncos 49 Ravens 27 DENVER — Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos waited eight long months, then another 33 minutes, to get the season started. A record-tying seven touchdown passes — something no one had done in 44 years — made it worth the while. Connecting with his most prized addition, Wes Welker, and former college basketball player Julius Thomas and Demaryius Thomas for two TDs each, Manning directed Denver to a 49-27 victory over Super Bowl champion Baltimore on Thursday night in the NFL opener, a much-anticipated rematch against the team that ended the Broncos’ playoff run in January. “Peyton had an amazing night,” Broncos coach John Fox said. “Peyton’s had a lot of amazing nights.” Not like this, though. Manning is the sixth QB in NFL history to throw seven TD passes in a game and the first since Joe Kapp did it for Minnesota against Baltimore on Sept. 28, 1969. The others read like a Who’s Who of passers who came along before the NFL became so pass-happy: Sid Luckman, Adrian Burk, George Blanda, Y.A. Tittle. Manning was 27 of 42 for 462 yards with no interceptions for an off-the-charts quarterback rating of 141.1. All part of a thorough thrashing of the team that

put a harsh end to what had looked like a Super Bowlbound 2012 in Denver. The rematch came nearly eight months after Baltimore beat Denver 38-35 in double overtime on an icy January night in the same stadium. The hero on that night was Jacoby Jones, who caught a 70-yard TD pass over Rahim Moore with 31 seconds left to tie it in regulation. His night was cut short when he went back to field a punt and teammate Brynden Trawick plowed into him at the Baltimore 15. Jones left with a sprained right knee and didn’t return. The Broncos waited all offseason for the rematch, then for 33 minutes more when a lightning storm in the area delayed the start. When they took the field, it was clear how much had changed. Pass rusher Elvis Dumervil moved from Denver to Baltimore as part of a bizarre, faxinfused contract squabble. Receiver Brandon Stokley also switched sides. The Broncos lost their best defender, Von Miller, to a drug suspension while Baltimore had to rebuild its ’D’ after losing emotional leaders Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. The Ravens suffered another loss of sorts when they were forced to play the season’s traditional opener on the road because of a conflict with the Orioles in Baltimore. The NFL hung a Flacco banner above Denver’s stadium, but he hardly felt at home. Armed with a new six-year,

$120.6 million contract, he matched the Broncos score for score in the first half but had to play catch-up after falling behind 35-17 early in the third quarter. His final numbers: 34 of 62 for 362 yards with two TDs and two interceptions. It was such a runaway, the Broncos were throwing away touchdowns by the end. Linebacker Danny Trevathan fumbled his pick-6 just shy of the goal line, pulling a Leon Lett imitation by celebrating too soon and the ball bounced out of the end zone for a touchback instead of a touchdown. No worries. Denver was ahead 42-17 at that point. Wearing an orange-and-grey glove like the one he wore on that icy January night the last time these teams met, Manning took a while to get warmed up against a Baltimore defence that had to replace seven Super Bowl starters. He ditched the glove once the rains stopped — and then he was unstoppable. Manning’s seventh TD pass covered only a few yards in the air but Demaryius Thomas, a former first-round pick, hauled in the pass in the left flat and turned on the jets, racing past several gassed defenders for a 78-yard play that capped Denver’s big night. Demaryius Thomas finished with five receptions for 161 yards, Julius Thomas had five catches for 110 yards and Welker led the way with nine grabs for 67 yards.

Lowe says Burke hiring will help revive rivalry OILERS’ PRESIDENT FEELS FLAMES HIRING WILL ‘SPICE UP’ RIVALRY PENTICTON, B.C. — Kevin Lowe hopes Brian Burke can add more truculence to the Battle of Alberta. The Oilers president of hockey operations said Burke’s hiring in the same role with the Calgary Flames “will be great” for the historic rivalry between the NHL clubs. “All of us, the Flames and ourselves, we can only wish that we could get back to those days (of the late 1970s and early 1980s) again in terms of the interest, the hype and the great hockey that it was,” said Lowe before the start of a prospects tournament in Penticton, B.C. “If Brian can add to that, it would be awesome.” Back then, the Oilers and Flames ranked among the NHL’s elite clubs and waged some legendary battles for top spot in their division and the NHL. But the rivalry cooled over the past two decades as they struggled to retain high-priced free agents in the pre-salary-cap era and saw their on-ice and financial

TOUR: Work hard “We did work hard today but just only for beyond the front,” he said. “For us it was good because we pulled hard all day yesterday and today we wanted a little more rest. In front are more hard days. “I knew I could lose my yellow jersey, but it doesn’t matter because it’s impossible to keep working as I have. It was a tactic and it may also be the same for tomorrow.” The 23-year-old Sagan, recognized as one of cycling’s finest young talents and four-time stage winner in the famed Tour de France, was referring to today’s third stage which starts in Strathmore and ends in Drumheller. The six-stage Tour of Alberta will conclude Sunday in Calgary. “Every win is different but every win is really nice”, stated Dillier, when asked where Thursday’s stage victory ranks among his finest moments in the sport. “For sure, this one is special just because of the high level of riders here. I had some European under-13 titles but this is also really, really nice. “Yes, this is for sure one of my biggest wins so far. It’s just amazing because here there are so many good riders. To win such a hard race is just fantastic.” His performance Thursday may have helped Dillier earn a spot on the BMC World Tour team. “We are talking and for sure this will be a good advantage for me to get into the world of the pros,” he said. “I am looking forward for the next few years. If you can win something it’s always good for your future.” His confidence may also have been boosted just by beating Sagan and other top-ranked riders to the finish line. “It’s already been a long time since we competed in juniors, but it’s nice to race again with these guys,” said Dillier. “They are already some more years at the pro level. I’m just coming up now and trying to progress here. I won a stage here and I am looking forward to the future.” Dillier sits 14th overall, 51 seconds behind Sagan. Tvetcov is in 21st place, 59 seconds back of the leader. Rounding out the top five after two stages are Tobias Ludvigsson of Sweden, who in third spot is 28 seconds off the lead, Cadel Evans of Australia and Brent Bookwalter of the U.S., who are a respective 36 and 37 seconds off the

fortunes dip. Burke, who is known for being fiery, strives to make sure his team plays with truculence. He also describes himself on his Twitter page as truculent, and has feuded with Lowe in the past. When Burke was general manager of the Anaheim Ducks, he objected to Lowe’s signing of free agent winger Dustin Penner to an offer sheet. Burke suggested he and Lowe should “rent a barn” and have a fistfight. The Oilers executive responded in a radio interview by challenging Burke to a fight. But they made peace after Burke’s son Brendan, who had called for a truce, died in a car accident. Lowe said Burke’s presence will spice up the Calgary-Edmonton rivalry. “He spices everything up,” said Lowe with a grin. But Flames coach Bob Hartley is not concerned about how Burke might help revive the rivalry. “We’re in a league of 30 teams,” said Hartley. “In my book, we’re battling with 29 other teams. Obviously, I understand the Battle of Alberta. But right now, we want to take care of our own team, making

pace. Ryder Hesjedal is the top Canadian rider. Hesjedal, who placed 28th Thursday, sits ninth overall, 46 seconds slower than Sagan. The peleton (main group of riders) rode at an average speed of 50 km per hour Thursday. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

FLAMES: Adviser Burke will be an adviser to Feaster. “I’m not the general manager of the Calgary Flames,” he declared. “Jay Feaster is. He is going to be in charge, but with my guidance. “I think I add a value. I’ve been able to fix just about every team I’ve worked for, sometimes quicker than others.” Burke’s contract with the Flames doesn’t have a set term, but is instead an open-ended work agreement. “There’s a long runway here for Brian,” King said. “He can do this job for 10 years, maybe longer than that. He’s got that sober second-thought opportunity to take a long view, a long vision, to help Jay, who by nature has to have a shorter vision.” Burke plans to embrace a job where he’ll be on the road less after scouting the world junior championship in Ufa, Russia, in January. “I didn’t enjoy that. I got as sick as a dog. The food was awful,” Burke said. “I was saying to myself ’This was not a good use of my time.’ “This job allows a guy of my seniority to do less the grunt work, the day-today stuff, but still be involved.” Flames coach Bob Hartley said his club will benefit from Burke’s sheer passion for the game and his hockey knowledge. “There will be no grey areas with Brian,” said Hartley. The coach said he doesn’t feel any extra pressure with a second executive above him. “Any time that you can add a gentleman like Brian Burke to your team, and teamed up with Jay Feaster, I feel that I’m very well surrounded as a coach,” said Hartley. “We know one thing about Brian: The roles will be clear, and the expectations will be well put there. At the same time, he always backs you up.” Also Thursday, the Flames promoted John Bean from CFO and senior vice-president, finance and administration to chief operating officer. After graduating Harvard Law School in 1981, Burke was a player agent until 1987 when Vancouver Ca-

sure that we really build this young team on real strong pillars.” Contrary to the teams’ reputation for trying not to be like each other, the Flames have adopted the same management model as the Oilers by employing both a president of hockey operations and general manager. Lowe said the management model works well for the Oilers but — true to Battle of Alberta form — he declined to comment on how it could affect the Flames. “The general manager (Craig MacTavish) runs the team,” said Lowe. “In my case, I’m there as a sounding board. But, day to day, he runs the organization.” Lowe suspects more teams could attempt to go with a president of hockey operations and GM. “Every organization’s getting bigger and bigger,” he said. “When I started (as a player) in 1979, the Oilers only had 13 staff members. Now, we have well over 100. That’s not counting the hockey players and scouts. You need a lot of people to run big organizations.”

nucks general manager Pat Quinn asked him to become the director of hockey operations for the franchise. Burke held that post for five years, until the 1992-93 season when he became the GM of the Hartford Whalers. He stayed in Connecticut for a year before moving to the NHL’s head office, becoming commissioner Gary Bettman’s executive vice-president and director of hockey operations. In 1998, Burke returned to Vancouver to become the GM of the Canucks. He drafted players such as twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin, as well as centre Ryan Kesler. Team management elected to not renew Burke’s contract after the 2003-04 season. After spending time as a TV analyst, Burke returned to management, becoming the GM of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in 2005-06 and winning the Stanley cup a year later. He stepped down from the Ducks in November 2008 and two weeks later was hired by the Maple Leafs. The Leafs didn’t make the post-season during Burke’s tenure. “There was a lot that needed to be

done in Toronto that took longer than I thought,” Burke said. He believes the Flames are on the right path, but isn’t imposing deadlines on the hockey team’s re-build. “I remember when I was a rookie GM, I called Harry Sinden and was complaining about my team. He said ’When you take over a non-playoff team, you inherit a leaky ship,”’ Burke said. “It’s hard in a cap system to turn your team around. You have unrestricted free agency obviously, but in a cap system, it’s a slower process. “I think fans can be patient as long as they see a plan that’s in place and being executed and faithfully stuck to. I think there’s a plan here and I think the fans can see it.” NHL rookie camps are underway with main camps scheduled to start Sept. 11. The Scotiabank Saddledome is undergoing restoration from massive flooding in June. The Flames main camp will be held at another facility, but the first exhibition game Sept. 14 is scheduled to be at the Saddledome.

We thank players, sponsors, fans and the media for their support over the years.” The executive said they would look at their situation during the winter and make a decision on their future.

Durant named CFL offensive player of month THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant is the CFL’s offensive player of the month for August.

Cox had a CFL-high 71 tackles, adding 32 to his tally in August to go along with one sack. Saskatchewan kicker Chris Milo was named as the special teams player of the month after making all 11 field goals he attempted. Montreal linebacker Marc-Olivier Brouil-

lette was name the league’s top Canadian for August. His league-leading four forced fumbles have set up a pair of defensive touchdowns this year and he has a career-best four sacks — good for second on the team. Receiver Maurice Price, who scored three touchdowns as the Calgary Stampeders held on for a 37-34 Labour Day win over the Edmonton Eskimos, was named the CFL’s offensive player of the week Tuesday. Price had five catches for 165 yards in the game, which saw Edmonton erase a 37-7 deficit in the fourth quarter Monday. Pope had TD grabs of 66, 42 and 33 yards. Teammate Charleston Hughes captured defensive player honours. The Calgary defensive lineman had three of the Stampeders’ seven sacks against Edmonton. Eskimos’ kick-returner Joe Burnett was the top special-teams player. He had four punt returns for 91 yards and a 24-yard kickoff return versus Calgary.

Murray gets dethroned with quarterfinal loss to Wawrinka

New coach impressed with what he has seen from Queens BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF

U.S. OPEN

RDC Queens hockey head coach Bob Rutz didn’t have time to watch the Alberta Colleges Women’s Hockey League last season as he was working with the Bentley Generals. So Rutz, who took control of the Queens from Trevor Keeper, who moved to the Kings, came into camp with his eyes wide open. “I wasn’t able to follow the team last year because of other coaching commitments, so I came with an open mind and I’ve been extremely impressed with what I’ve seen so far,” he said. “The speed, shooting ability and overall skill level is excellent. The girls impress with the way they battle and compete. “There’s an overall misconception that females can’t shoot, but not from what I’ve seen.” Rutz wants the Queens to use that shooting ability this season. “We want to focus on getting at least 25 to 30 shots a game,” he said. Rutz’s main goal is to continue to keep the goals against down. Last year the Queens, who lost to NAIT in the conference final, led the league in goals against. “My philosophy is to build the team from the back end on out and we appear to be solid in goal and on the defence,” he said. Camille Trautman, who was the top goaltender in the league last season, returns for her third season, with Casey Nicholson, Megan Jones, Rikki Leonard and Morgan Brandl back on the blueline. As well, Cassidy Anderson, whop played with NAIT, has transferred to RDC. The only newcomer to the blueline is Taylor Hall from the Red Deer Sutter Fund major midget chiefs. The new face in goal is Moraih Andrews, who played with Swift Current. Up front the Queens did lose team scoring leader Gillian Altheim, but have a strong nucleus back including

Andy Murray reacts after losing a point to Stanislas Wawrinka during the quarterfinals of the 2013 U.S. Open tennis tournament, Thursday, in New York. He rushed the net in general, taking 31 of 42 points when he moved forward. Most of all, he never allowed the occasion or the opportunity to overwhelm him in 23,000-capacity Arthur Ashe Stadium. Asked what part of his performance made him

the most proud, Wawrinka said: “How I was dealing with the pressure. Normally, I can be a little bit nervous and I can lose (a) few games because of that.” He’s 2-12 in tour matches against Djokovic, including 11 consecutive losses.

49833I6-27

NEW YORK — The earliest real signs of trouble for Andy Murray came in the 10th game of his U.S. Open quarterfinal. For 22 points stretched over 15 excruciating minutes Thursday, Murray’s body language was as poor as his play. When the 2012 champion pushed a simple forehand into the net, he smacked his palm against his forehead, once, twice, three times. When he left a similarly routine forehand too low, he mocked his footwork by pressing one shoe atop the other. When he sailed a later forehand long, he rolled his eyes and muttered. When he delivered his second double-fault, he swiped the ground with his racket. And when he rushed yet another forehand on break point No. 6 of that key game — the ball drifting long to cede a set to his far-less-accomplished opponent, ninth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka — Murray cracked his racket on the court. Not satisfied, he trudged to his changeover chair and whacked the racket again, mangling the frame. Trying to defend a Grand Slam title for the first time, and not quite two months removed from his historic Wimbledon championship, Murray bowed out quickly, if not quietly, at Flushing Meadows, losing 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 to Wawrinka in a result that was surprising both because of who won and by how much. “I have had a good run the last couple of years,” said the third-seeded Murray, who shook his hands in front of his face and screamed after dropping the second set. “It’s a shame I had to play a bad match today.” The first Grand Slam semifinal of Wawrinka’s career, in his 35th appearance, will come Saturday against No. 1 Novak Djokovic, the 2011 U.S. Open champion. Djokovic overcame a third-set lull and beat 21st-seeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-0 on Thursday night to reach the semifinals in New York for the seventh year in a row. It’s also the 14th consecutive Grand Slam tournament where Djokovic is in the semifinals, a 3 ½ -year streak. The other semifinal is No. 2 Rafael Nadal against No. 8 Richard Gasquet. Murray’s rough afternoon included only 15 winners, 30 fewer than Wawrinka. Murray tapped in second serves as slow as 75 mph, allowing Wawrinka to hit four return winners and easily take control of countless other points. Murray, one of the sport’s top returners, never earned a single break point during any of Wawrinka’s 14 service games. “I didn’t get into enough return games, which is disappointing for me,” said Murray, who had won 30 of his preceding 32 Grand Slam matches. “That’s normally something I do pretty well. I always give myself opportunities to break serve, and I didn’t today.” Give Wawrinka credit — something Murray made sure to do. At age 28, Wawrinka finally made it further at a major tournament than his Swiss Olympic teammate and good friend, Roger Federer, who lost in the fourth round and sent a congratulatory text to Wawrinka after his breakthrough victory. “Today, for sure, it’s my moment,” Wawrinka said. He did it with his fluid, one-handed backhand, and by taking full advantage of Murray’s mistakes, but also by playing an aggressive, attacking style. Wawrinka won 9 of 10 points when he serve-and-volleyed.

high-scoring Jade Petrie and Ashley Graf. Team captain Rachael Hoppins, who is in her fourth season, and fifthyear veteran Laura Salomons give the team scoring and added experience. Jayna Kitchen, Emily Lougheed, Jessica Anderson and Jena Holden also return. As well, Suze Vanderlinde, who played with SAIT, has transferred in. New faces still with the team are Kaylea Renz of Spruce Grove, Hailey Smyl and Micaela Smith from B.C., Cassidy Holt of Lloydminster, who played junior A with the Central Alberta Amazons last year, and Skye Fahlman, who played junior A with Medicine Hat. The Queens opened camp Tuesday and will compete in the NAIT tournament this weekend. They face the St. FX Academy at 10:30 a.m. and the Lloydminster Steelers at 6 p.m. Saturday and Sherwood Park midgets at 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Rutz will not only use the games to get the team comfortable with each other on the ice, but he’ll get a chance to fit in as well. “The previous coaches did a great job of developing these players and taking them to the league final, now it’s my job to take what they’ve created and take it to a league championship,” he said. “ Rutz obviously wants to win this weekend, but will use the games to work on their special teams and see who plays well together in different situations. “We have a lot of experience and you can see the chemistry already, which makes my job easier. When you have that amount of experience they know the league and what it takes to win.” ● Carlee Ness, who can’t return to the ice because of back problems and a broken leg, has joined the coaching staff along with Wes Makofka and goaltender coach Andy Nowicki . . .

Canada shows RDC soccer programs have confidence high hopes for 2013 season in Herdman KINGS LOOK TO CONTEND FOR A MEDAL, QUEENS VANCOUVER — The man who coached the Canadian women’s soccer team to a historic bronze medal at the London Olympics has made a long-term commitment to remain with the program. John Herdman said extending his contract with the Canadian Soccer Association through the 2020 Summer Games gives him the chance to build on what has already been accomplished. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to be able to lead a legacy,” the told a news conference Thursday. “We have been planning for a 10-year plan since I came into the organization. “To know you can actually see that through and you’ve got the backing and support of people, it’s a great place be a leader.” Peter Montopoli, the CSA’s general secretary, said the agreement brings continuity to the women’s team. Herdman’s previous contract ran through the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Canada will host the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup with the championship game being played at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver. Herdman will now also guide the program through the 2019 World Cup and 2020 Olympic Games. “John is the inspiration and the leader of the program,” said Montopoli. “There is nobody better in the world that we believe can lead the program.” Herdman, an Englishman, took over the Canadian women’s program in 2011. The bronze at the London Olympics was the first Canadian medal in a traditional team sport at a Summer Games since 1936. There had been speculation Herdman could leave the CSA after Hope Powell, the longtime coach of England’s women’s team, was fired this summer. Family and friends were calling Herdman, asking him if he was coming home. “You’re grandma is ringing, your mom’s ringing, your brother,” he said. “Everyone is saying you are coming home.” Herdman said the situation in England “brought some real clarity” to what he wanted to do in Canada. The 38-year-old father of two said his wife and family enjoy living in Vancouver, adding “Canada is where we wanted to be.” Montopoli said the CSA had been speaking with Herdman about an extension for a number of months. “No matter what was happening in England or not, it was something that was going to happen,” he said. “It just took some time.” National team veteran Sophie Schmidt said it’s a relief knowing Herdman isn’t leaving. “It’s comforting,” said the midfielder. “As soon as I heard news about the whole English thing

I had this unsettled feeling in my stomach. “He means so much for the team. It’s such a relief to know that he’s here for a significant amount of time.” Part of Herdman’s long-term vision is to improve development programs in Canada to produce more players like national team captain Christine Sinclair. “Now the things that we planned we can progressively put in place so we have a world-class women’s national team (and) a world-class development system that underpins it,” he said. “We’ve always said the women’s national team is the priority. But realistically, unless the conveyor belt is right, then we won’t see more Sinclairs very often. We have to have more Sinclairs, more often, to keep this team on the podium consistently.” In time, Herdman may step away from coaching. “Hopefully I’m not coaching in the 2019 World Cup or Olympics,” he said. “One of my goals would be to have women leading women moving forward. I would love to see one of these national team players, with all their experience, stepping forward into that role. “When they are ready, somebody will do that, but you have to be ready. You have to have someone with those worldclass capabilities.” Schmidt said defender Carmelina Moscato or midfielder Diana Matheson have the potential to be future national team coaches. Montopoli said Herdman’s long-term role hasn’t been defined. “He will certainly be involved in women’s football across the country. It will develop. It will be evolving,” Montopoli said. “Certainly John will be overseeing almost everything that is going on, on the women’s side.” The CSA also announced the women’s team will play Mexico in an international friendly Nov. 24 at BC Place. Canada beat Mexico at the Olympic qualifying tournament in Vancouver to advance to the London Games. Herdman said he will use that game to introduce some new players to the lineup. “It won’t be the same people playing as we’ve seen back two years ago,” he said. Herdman was head coach of the New Zealand women’s national team from 2006 to 2011. He joined the Canadian program after former coach Carolina Morace quit following Canada’s last-place finish at the 2011 Women’s World Cup in German. Under Herdman, the Canadian women won the gold medal at the Pan-Am Games in Mexico later that year before reaching the podium in London. Herdman understands the team now faces high expectations. “As soon as you get on a podium expectations are up,” he said. “The goal for us is Canada should be able to podium consistently.”

CANADIAN MEN’S MID-AM GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP SPRUCE GROVE — Defending champion Kevin Carrigan of Victoria recorded a 4-under 67 Thursday and held a three-shot lead heading into today’s final round of the Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Blackhawk Golf Club. Carrigan possessed a 54-hole total of 15-under 198, while next in line was Garrett Rank of Elmira, Ont., who carded a third-round 65 to sit at

201. Senan Foley of Calgary, who on several occasions has competed in the Central Alberta Amateur at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club, turned in a 74 Thursday and was tied for 13th at 5-over 218. Merv Dusyk of Sylvan Lake shot a third consecutive 74 and was tied for 31st at 9-over 222, while Tim Boston of Ponoka fired an 83 and was tied for 70th at 18-over 231.

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF There was a time when Steve Fullarton was worried about what the RDC Kings soccer team may look like this season. “It was a tough year to recruit . . . a real struggle,” he said. But in the end he couldn’t be happier as he put together a team that should contend for a playoff spot and a medal in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. “We got a couple of our veterans back, who looked like they may be moving on, and a real good group of first-year players,” said Fullarton. Meanwhile, the RDC Queens will field a solid lineup, although head coach Dave Colley would have liked a few more veterans. “At one time it looked as if we’d have nine returnees, but because of other commitments and injuries we’re down to four,” he said. Fullarton has six returnees and he’s more than happy to see Logan Grenier and Andrew Jevne back. The pair will anchor the defence. Grenier was expected to attend the University of Alberta this year while Jevne was looking at the University of Calgary. “We’re certainly glad to have them back as they’ll give us two of the top defenders in the league,. They work well together and last year allowed us to have one of the best goals-against-average in the league.” As well team scoring leader Nolan Hamilton returns along with team rookie-of-the-year Chase Grenier, who plays the midfield, defender Gurjit Sandhu and forward Jeremy Gopal. What excited Fullarton even more is the depth added to the midfield in Ghana native Julius Abegar, who played some professional soccer, and Sam Day, of Sylvan Lake, who is originally from England. Abegar is 33 years old and played pro in Malaysia and with the Thunder Bay Chill. “He has a lot of experience and is probably playing at a level of soccer below his abilities,” said Fullarton. “But we’re certainly glad to have him. He’s like having a coach on the pitch.” As for Day, Fullarton has watched him since he was 13. “He’s very technically solid and you put him with Julius and Alim (Hirji) and Chase in the midfield we’ll be strong in that area.” Hirji, who is from the Calgary Villains, played with the Kings futsal team last winter. “He’s a very strong player,” said Fullarton, who has two solid goaltenders in Rayden Beveridge of Vermilion and Morgan Drews of Sylvan Lake. “It’s a rarity to have two strong goaltenders as last year we struggled to have one keeper,” said Fullarton. Nik Berry and Rohinesh Ram from Notre Dame and Austin Ericson of Lacombe are other defenders on the roster with Mark Ibbotson of Three Hills and Cameron Lyon of Ponoka at forward and Ahmed Jamaluddin of Lindsay Thurber in the midfield. “We have a lot of creative players and some proven goal scorers,” said Fullarton. “We have a good squad, but from what I hear there’s several others

who have good squads as well.” The Kings will get a chance to see how they sit this weekend as they open the league in Medicine Hat Saturday and Lethbridge Sunday. “From what I understand both teams will be tough,” Fullarton said. The Queens will also be in tough. “Medicine Hat is an older team and are always tough at home,” said Colley. “Last year we tied them twice before beating them in the bronze medal game. I’m sure they’ll be looking to get back at us for that.” Keeper Jesse Stewart, defender Adi Moyer, midfielder Tatiana Aspillaga and right back Teagan Donald are the returnees. Kayla Blacquiere of Lacombe, who played with the major league Renegades, will be looked at to prove offence after the loss of Paula Dadensky to the U of A. “Kayla was at college last year, but didn’t play,” said Colley. “She’s an accomplished player.” Overall Colley has 11 players with college, major league or U18 Renegades experience. One of the newcomers — Nicole Silveira of Calgary — played with the Olds Broncos last year and will team with Aspillaga in the midfield. Two other players — defender Taryn Aucion of Red Deer and left back Ashley Edmundson of Lacombe — were at RDC last year, but didn’t play. Midfielder Kaitlin D’Arcy of Red Deer, will also act as backup keeper this season. Midfielders Emily Gopal and Teala McEwan and forward Celine Jensen are also from Red Deer while forward Hayley Lush is from Eckville, defender Jordan Mensink of Chestermere and midfielder Courtney Smith of Ponoka round out the roster. “I like what I’ve seen and one of the positives was that when we played an exhibition match against Mount Royal (a 3-1 loss) the girls didn’t show any nerves,” said Colley. “We’ll need to work on our experience, but I believe we can build on last year.” The RDC teams first home action is Sept. 14 when they host SAIT. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

NATIONAL WOMEN’S SOCCER COACH GETS CONTRACT EXTENDED THROUGH 2020

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Sept. 6, 2013 B7

DeLaet enjoying breakthrough year LOOKING FORWARD TO REPRESENTING CANADA IN PRESIDENTS CUP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS He’s been second once and third twice on the PGA Tour this season, clinched a spot in the Presidents Cup and is contending for the FedEx Cup title and a cool five-figure bonus. But Graham DeLaet isn’t actively looking to replace his idol as the new face of Canadian golf. “None of us are trying to be the next Mike Weir, that’s for sure, because he’s one of a kind,” DeLaet said Thursday. “He carried the flag for this country for a long time and did it well, not only just in golf but for sport in Canada in general. “He’s a tremendous ambassador for our country and the game and if I can be half the ambassador he’s been I’d be quite happy.” Weir, of Brights Grove, Ont., is tied with the late George Knudson for most career PGA Tour wins by a Canadian with eight, but is the only Canuck to have won a major after his victory at the 2003 Masters. The veteran left-hander turned pro in 1992 and is ranked No. 20 in career earnings with over $27 million. But the 43-year-old’s last PGA Tour win came in 2007 and he didn’t make the cut in the 14 events he entered last year. So far in 2013, Weir has made the cut in nine of 22 tournaments and earned $194,510. DeLaet, 31, who battled back problems early in his career, is enjoying a breakthrough campaign. The native of Weyburn, Sask., who turned pro in 2006, finished tied for second — a career best — at The Barclays and his third-place finish Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship earned him a spot on the international team for next month’s Presidents Cup in Dublin, Ohio. It will mark DeLaet’s first appearance in the Presidents Cup, an event Weir has played in five times. The two spoke briefly about the tournament earlier this year, but DeLaet wants to speak with Weir again about what he can expect. “I was actually planning on giving him a call and just picking his brain a little bit,” DeLaet said. “We played a practice round in Hartford this year and at that time I was on the outside

Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., tees off on the 10th hole during the first round at the Canadian Open Golf Championship at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ont., on July 25. looking in for the Presidents Cup ... but it was on my radar and something I wanted to achieve. “Pretty much everyone I’ve talked to says it’s the most amazing tournament that you’ll play in, the atmosphere is unbelievable. I haven’t played a ton of match play and obviously he took down (Tiger Woods in 2007 Presidents Cup) so he knows something about it.” The Presidents Cup pits a team representing the U.S. against an international squad in a match-play format. Each game is worth a point with a max-

imum of 34 available so the side amassing 17.5 or more points wins. The U.S. has dominated this event, winning seven of nine played since its inception in 1994. The International side’s lone victory came in 1998, with the 2003 competition finishing tied. DeLaet doesn’t have much matchplay experience but is embracing the format. “I actually feel it suits my game pretty well,” DeLaet said. “You can be a lot more aggressive when needed

and also play smart when needed. “It’s obviously a totally different game, you’re playing more against your competitor than you are the golf course ... it’s exciting to think about right now. I can’t wait to play it.” Although he’ll be a Presidents Cup rookie, DeLaet is more than comfortable to take a leadership role on the International squad, if required. “I’ve played team sports all my life ... I feel like I’m a good leader,” he said. “Obviously I’m going to be a rookie on that team so I probably won’t assume a leadership role by any means but I feel I can help guys out. “We all know what’s at stake and you don’t want to let guys down. But at the same time if you can pump a guy up when he’s a little bit down on himself or disappointed in a shot and let him know it’s not a big deal, that we have a lot of golf to play and you believe in him, that’s really the thing.” DeLaet has made the cut in 19 of 24 events this year and posted 12 top-25 finishes. He’s currently ranked fifth in the FedEx Cup standings, 16th on the PGA Tour money list (over $2.6 million) and No. 35 in the world golf rankings. “I was speaking with one of my buddies (Wednesday) and he was going through some things like the world rankings, money list and FedEx Cup and guys I’m ahead of,” DeLaet said. “I kind of sat back and thought, ‘Wow, this has just been an unbelievable year.’ “I feel like there’s been a couple of chances I’ve let slip away a little bit but it’s great being in contention. My time is coming, I totally believe in that.” But the season could become even more memorable if DeLaet manages to finish atop the FedEx Cup standings, which would earn him a $10-million bonus cheque. Remaining No. 5 wouldn’t be bad either, given the $1-million bonus. However, being in contention for the top prize means DeLaet can allow himself to realistically think big. “If I can stay in the top-5 going into the Tour Championship, I have a legitimate chance of winning,” DeLaet said. “I think it’s a realistic goal, to win it.”

Following win in Calgary, Mediate Jets’ Kane says looks to keep Canadian roll going he thought traffic SAINTE-JULIE, Que. — Fresh off a career week in Calgary, Rocco Mediate is looking to keep his Canadian roll going. A rookie on the PGA’s Champions Tour, Mediate cruised to victory by seven strokes Sunday with a 22 under at the inaugural Shaw Charity Classic at Canyon Meadows. The 50 year old is hoping to build on that victory this weekend at the Montreal Championship. “Last week was kooky,” Mediate said Thursday. “It was one of those weeks you want to have. I’ve never had a week like that as far as having that big of a lead or going into Sunday wanting to make a big lead so it would be, I wouldn’t say easy, but easy coming into the last few holes. “It was really fun. It was the first time I ever won twice in a year, so that was cool, too.” Mediate, who also won his Champions Tour debut in February at the Allianz Championship, and Charles Schwab Cup leader Kenny Perry are each making their first appearance at the tournament outside of Montreal. The same goes for two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer, who is second overall to Perry. Mediate, currently seventh in Charles Schwab Cup standings, opened in Calgary with a 63 and followed that up with two rounds of 64. His total score of 191 tied for the lowest in Champions Tour history. The 50 year old also tied another tour record with four eagles. The runner-up to Tiger Woods in the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, Mediate raved about the challenges presented by Vallee du Richelieu’s Rouville course. “It was cool being in Calgary last week, which was a great town,” Mediate said. “This is obviously a great town. I’m glad we’re here. The golf course is cool. This will bring out the best player this week. “There is no fluking around here. There is no messing around here. You have to have your game or this place will tear you up, which I love courses like that.” Langer started his season on a roll with top-3 finishes in five of his first six Champions Tour events. He has 18 tour wins overall, including the ACE Group Classic in February and the Greater Gwinnett Championship in April. “The course is very good, very interesting, good

TEAM CANADA BASKETBALL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CARACAS, Venezuela — Despite a 22-point victory on Thursday, Canadian men’s basketball coach Jay Triano was most impressed with his team’s defence when the game was on the line. Brady Heslip scored 21 points off the bench as Canada defeated Mexico 89-67 at the FIBA Americas Championship basketball tournament. The guard from Baylor University was 5-of-8 from three-point range as Canada improved to 4-1. Canada saw a 12-point lead cut to just 60-58 at the start of the fourth quarter after being outscored 2720 in the third. But Canada found its range and also shut down a Mexican team that was playing with a short bench. “In the fourth quarter, when we started making shots, the thing that we were impressed with most was that we scored 29 points ... but they only had nine,” Triano said. “I thought our defensive effort in the fourth quarter was outstanding.” Cory Joseph of the San Antonio Spurs added 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Canadians, who will take on the hosts from Venezuela on

shape and tree-lined golf course, small greens,” said Langer, who won the Masters in 1985 and 1993 and shot 2 over at this year’s tournament to finish in a tie for 25th. “Narrow fairways, quite a bit of rough, so it’s going to be a good test of golf.” Mark Calcavecchia, last year’s champion at Vallee du Richelieu, is also in the field of 81. He missed the last two events, including Calgary, because of back problems. “I put in a couple of days light practice and played nine holes on Friday and Sunday and really felt pretty good, so I decided for sure on Sunday that I was coming,” said Calcavecchia, who shot a 16-under 200 last June on the Vercheres course for his second career Champions Tour win. Calcavecchia got his first look at the Rouville course during Thursday’s pro-am. “The course is longer, to begin with, especially the par-3s” Calcavecchia said. “Three of the par-3s are really long. Those holes are hard. If you can play the par-3s even par this week you are going to pick up a lot of strokes on the field.” David Frost, who sits third in overall standings, is making his fourth straight appearance in Montreal, as are John Cook, who won the Montreal Championship in 2011, and Larry Mize, the tournament’s inaugural champion in 2010. Rod Spittle of Niagara Falls, Ont., is one of three Canadians in the field, along with Victoria’s Jim Rutledge and Marc Girouard of Saint-Sauveur, Que.

fines were paid THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets and Evander Kane say a pair of unpaid traffic fines that led the province of Manitoba to move to garnishee his salary have been dealt with and it’s time to move on. “It’s a matter that has been taken of,” Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said Thursday, as the team opened it’s 2013 prospects camp. “Everybody has a personal life.” Kane suggested it was a misunderstanding. “It’s just something that I guess I thought I had taken care of before,” he said of fines for using an electronic device and driving without a valid license. The province won a default judgment last week for $650 to cover the cost of the fines and penalties, the Winnipeg Free Press reported Thursday. Kane will earn a base salary of $4.5 million in 2013-14. The fines were paid when the team learned of them last week. “It’s something that has been dealt with and certainly we’re ready to move forward,” said Cheveldayoff who didn’t make a big deal of it but suggested it was Kane’s responsibility to handle such things. “As citizens of the community we all have a responsibility to make sure that we take care of the different things.”

CYCLING FANS LINE STREETS OF DOWNTOWN RED DEER BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Central Alberta cycling fans were not disappointed. When the best of the best in cycling hit Red Deer’s Ross Street on Thursday, fans were lined up two deep to catch the pedal action. Dressed in a cycling jersey, Brian Daudlin of Red Deer was one of the first to secure a spot near the finish line. Daudlin said he is a huge Tour de France fan and the Tour of Alberta was icing on the cake. He said seeing this calibre of cyclists in person was outstanding and larger than life. “It’s kind of ironic given all the acrimony with the cycling with the bike lanes in Red Deer that we are hosting a professional cycling race,” said Daudlin. “Maybe people will get to see the benefits of cycling and get turned on and make some progress with that bike lane issue.” A huge fan of Slovak Peter Sagan, Jenn Turcott of Calgary was also one of the first lining up to see the professional cyclists. Turcott said this race is a huge opportunity for cycling in Alberta. Turcott, a competitive cyclist, said this will help promote cycling in the province. She will move on to watch the start of the next stage in Strathmore and then the start and finish in Black Diamond. “I am really hoping it will boost the exposure in this province,” said Turcott of the race, which started in Edmonton on Tuesday and wraps up in Calgary on Sunday. “For people to see this calibre of athletes, I hope it will encourage more and more people to get involved. And more awareness of people on the road.” Turcott said cycling is one of the only professional sports in the world where spectators do not have to pay to watch the event. “You can bring your whole family, free of charge, to watch worldclass athletes,” she said. “You can’t do that in any other sport.” Paul McIver said this is awesome and better than having National Hockey League in Red Deer. “This is big,” said McIver, who was cheering for the three Canadians in the race. “I hope they keep it.” Before the race, cyclist Dave Hill was checking out the festival before heading to Michener Hill to watch all the action. Hill said this type of event is a huge boost to the cycling community and the economy in Central Alberta. Hill said this professional event may get more people thinking about jumping on a bike. Volunteer Wendy Henry didn’t realize the significance of the race when she signed up to lend a hand. Henry said she has learned a lot about professional racing, something she never gave a second thought to. She said the event may just turn her into a cycling fan. crhyno@reddeeradvocate. com

BRIEFS Volunteers sought for civic election Those interested in experiencing democracy in action can volunteer as election workers. The City of Red Deer has put out the call for anyone interested in helping out on the Oct. 21 municipal elections. Help is needed in setting up and taking down voting stations, supervising voting station staff, and guiding voters through the process. About 300 workers are needed. Training is provided and pay varies with position. Workers can make $200 to $250 for the day, which requires a commitment of more than 12 hours. Interested applicants can apply online at www.reddeer. ca or in person at the city’s election office on the ground floor of City Hall from Sept. 11 to 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Only successful applicants will be contacted. This election is the first for four-year terms. In Red Deer, a mayor and eight councillors will be elected, seven public school trustees and five Catholic school trustees. For more information, call the city’s election office at 403-342-8317.

Shore cleanup needs helpers A city official is hoping for hordes of volunteers on Sunday when the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup event happens in Red Deer. “The more people who help out, the more area we can cover,” said Suzanne Jubb, community and program facilitator with the City of Red Deer. The event runs from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre. Participants are given cleaning supplies at 12:30 p.m. and assigned an area of the riverbank to clean. A free barbecue will follow. All volunteers are entered in a prize draw.

Clothing service open house Red Deer Community Clothing Service is trying to raise awareness by holding an open house today and Saturday to spread the word about merchandise available from the volunteer organization. The open house will run today from noon to 4 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “What we’re trying to show people is we provide more than just clothing. We provide bedding, dishes, pots and pans, cutlery and other things,” said president Ted Hayden on Thursday. The clothing service, formerly known as Red Deer Clothing Bank, will see its funding from the United Way of Central Alberta come to an end in December. The funding has been covering rental costs for its downtown location. Hayden said current savings would only keep the service running for three or four months next year. The service is contacting community organizations and businesses to find new funding sources and is considering charging a small monthly fee to its customers. “We’re running a survey right now to see if people will come if they have to pay $5 a month.” The clothing service has always given away clothing and household items for free, allowing customers to come once a month, he said. Trinkets and some higherend clothing is sold at the front desk to help raise money for operational costs. Red Deer Community Clothing Service, located at 5005 Ross St., is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 4 p.m.

Trail closed during race A section of the North Bank Trail along the Red Deer River will be closed to the public on Saturday when a muddy endurance race takes over upper and lower Heritage Ranch in Red Deer.

There will be no access to Heritage Ranch from the north side of the river from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The trail west of Kiwanis Boat Launch (near Red Deer Golf and Country Club) will be closed during that period. More than 2,000 participants and spectators are expected to gather at Heritage Ranch for the Spartan Race. The event is expected to create a high volume of vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Participants will compete in heats of up to 250 people every half hour starting at 8 a.m. The last heat will start at 1 p.m. Participants are expected to take from 90 minutes to more than three hours to complete a 14-km run and to navigate through 21 obstacles along a muddy course. Heritage Ranch is on the south side of the Red Deer River and just north of West Lake subdivision. The address is 6300 Cronquist Drive. For more details about the race, see www.spartanrace. com.

Lindhout on Dateline Kidnapping survivor Amanda Lindhout will be featured on NBC’s Dateline tonight at 10 p.m. The Dateline interview will air days after Lindhout, a former columnist for the Advocate, released her book about the kidnapping, A House in the Sky, co-written by Lindhout and The New York Times Magazine contributing writer Sara Corbett. The former freelance journalist was kidnapped in Somalia in 2008. Lindhout, then 27, was captured along with Australian photographer Nigel Brennan. They were held hostage for 460 days. The book recounts Lindhout’s troubled family life while growing up in Red Deer and Sylvan Lake, her passion for travel that eventually led her to Somalia, and the torture she endured at the hands of her captors. Kidnappers initially demanded $1.3 million for their release. They were set free when the Lindhout and Brennan families were able to pull together $600,000. But hiring investigators and facilitators to negotiate their release put the total cost at $1.2 million.

Family raises awareness about ovarian cancer BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A family of five from Red Deer is working to raise awareness of the deadliest cancer for women — ovarian cancer. Sandra Cadieux, her husband Joel, and their four children Noah, 10, Dallis, 8, Elijah, 6, and Davis, 4, will be participating in Edmonton’s Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope on Sunday. They are walking in support of Sandra’s mother Vivian Chimilar, 61, of Red Deer who was diagnosed in December with stage 3C ovarian cancer, one step below stage 4 which is the most advanced stage. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal women’s cancer and 2,600 women are diagnosed every year, according to Ovarian Cancer Canada. Without an early detection test for the disease, and with signs and symptoms that can be vague and often misdiag-

nosed, ovarian cancer is often not found until late stages. Sandra said ovarian cancer just does not get the attention of other diseases and she hopes money raised by the walk will improve the rate of early detection. Ovarian cancer came as a surprise to her mother. It did not run in the family, she said. As of Thursday, the family had raised a total of $2,870, mostly from generous family and friends, and the children’s bottle drives that brought in $700. As part of her treatment, her mother had major surgery and will finish up her latest round of chemotherapy today. “She’s just fought so courageously over the last eight months. This is just one small way we can show our support and love for her,” Sandra said. To support the Cadieux Family Hope team, visit ovariancancerwalkofhope.ca. szielinski@reddeeradvocate. com

Lacombe sets up series of outdoor workout stations Lacombe residents have a new opportunity for some fresh air flexing. The city has just set up a series of outdoor workout stations along the trails around Cranna Lake so residents can add some muscle toning to their walking regimes. Eight sets of equipment at six fitness areas have been set up as part of the $30,000 project, said Sandi Stewart, the city’s recreation and culture manager. Adding outdoor fitness equipment has been on the city’s wish list for some time. Lacombe looked to Red Deer for feedback and was encouraged by the success of this community’s experiences with its 10 outdoor gyms. “We did our research on outdoor fitness equipment,”

said Stewart. “We heard good things about the ones in Red Deer.” The same supplier will provide the equipment in Lacombe, which will include pullup bars, quadriceps machine, tai chi wheel, push-pull chair and other muscle-challenging apparatus. RBC donated $1,000 towards the project and Lacombe plans to put the word out that it would welcome sponsorships from others interested in expanding the gym project. In Red Deer, the string of outdoor fitness sites was the result of a partnership between the city and Red Deer Primary Care Network, a partnership between Alberta Health Services and more than 60 local doctors.

Older workers taking part-time jobs PUSHING UP YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT: REPORT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A new report suggests that a growing number of older workers are taking on part-time jobs, which in turn is pushing up the unemployment rate among teenaged students. The CIBC World Markets report says the unemployment

rate for students aged 15 to 18 who are seeking part-time work has climbed to a record high of more than 20 per cent. The report also notes that employment among those in the 15-18 age group has fallen by 22 per cent since 2007 even though the overall population in that age group has declined by only four per cent. Although Canada’s unemployment rate has recovered

from its peak during the recession, the report says the number of manufacturing and government jobs has been shrinking. This decline in the availability of quality jobs is forcing many older Canadians to take work in the retail and food service sectors — jobs that traditionally would have been reserved for students. The report notes that em-

ployment in kitchen help, retail sales and cashier positions has plummeted among those under 19, but soared for other age groups, including those 25 and over. CIBC’s chief economist Avery Shenfeld says this can pose a challenge for youth from lower income households, who may need the cash from part-time work to save for their post-secondary edu-

cation. “Some might dismiss the absence of student jobs as no big deal,” said Shenfeld. “True, there’s less foregone income than in the loss of full-time adult positions. But student jobs are not just about being able to splurge for designer jeans. For lower income, single-parent households, those extra dollars can be material.”

FREE TRADE

EU says Harper sounding conciliatory on stalled talks BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office is sounding more conciliatory about an imminent resolution to the continent’s stalled free-trade talks with Canada, a senior European Union official said Thursday. That view from Brussels comes as Harper prepares to meet European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso on Friday, on the sidelines of the G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. Peter Stastny, the union’s rapporteur on the Canada-Europe negotiations, said he is more optimistic than he was several months ago. “The good news is, that I keep hearing, more and more a kind of conciliatory and optimistic rhetoric, particularly from the office of Prime Minister Harper of Canada,” Stastny said Thursday in a briefing to the European Parliament’s international trade committee. “I’m probably more optimistic now than I was before. It could happen any time soon.” Stastny said his optimism is based on his perception that Harper’s office is playing down the gaps that remain on the main unresolved obstacles to a deal, including access for Canadian pork and beef, drug patents and provincial procurements. “They are minor issues that should be and could be solved,” he said. “The rhetoric I keep hearing, from the EU, but mostly from Canada and (the) prime minister’s office, seems to minimize these issues, and they see the end of a tunnel that hopefully will come very . . . soon.” A Canadian source close to the talks said a “small handful of key issues” remain on the table, including agriculture, intellectual property and procurement. Adam Taylor, Trade Minister Ed Fast’s spokesman, said “focused disussions” continue across several key economic sectors, covering all regions of Canada. “Canada has made robust offers in good faith that address the EU’s key interests,” Taylor said in an email. He did not elaborate. “Canadians expect to be provided the same by the EU and we continue to make this clear to our EU counterparts.”

Central Alberta bee colonies suffered high winterkill losses BY ADVOCATE STAFF Central Alberta honey bee colonies were among the hardest hit last winter, according to the latest survey by Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development apiculture program. Information collected from 112 beekeepers, who represent 92 per cent of the honey bee colonies in Alberta, revealed an average mortality rate of 23.8 per cent during the winter of 2012-13. But the winterkill figure ranged from 17 per cent in Southern Alberta to 37.5 per cent in Central and Northeastern Alberta, said Medhat Nasr, provincial apiculturist with Alberta Agriculture. He added that the figure was 21 per cent in the northwest region of the province and 28 per cent in the Peace River region. “There was no difference in bee winterkill between colonies wintered outdoors or indoors,” said Nasr. The survey included questions about management practices, bee health and environmental conditions, and beekeepers were also asked to rank possible causes of winterkill. They listed the long winter and cold spring as the biggest problem, with nosema identified as the second leading cause of bee kill. Other problems identified were the poor quality of queens, varroa infestations and starvation. “In 2012, Alberta reported the lowest winterkill (15 per cent) in a decade, but this year, losses are substantially higher and varied from region to region,” said Nasr. “In comparison to the national percentage of winterkill (28.6 per cent), Alberta did not fair too badly. In spite of the high losses, Alberta beekeepers replaced most of their killed colonies, and in some operations beekeepers increased their numbers due to high honey prices and higher demand for Alberta’s quality honey.”

Wolverine Guns & Tackle finishing second major expansion BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR The decision by Yellowknife businessman Bryan Rendell to relocate his sporting goods store to Red Deer County 3 ½ years ago has turned out to be a good one. Wolverine Guns & Tackle is completing the second major expansion of its Liberty Crossing premises south of Red Deer since it opened in April 2010. After starting with 10,000 square feet in the bay previously occupied by Kitchen & Patio, the business last year added a 3,000-square-foot second level, and this summer spread into 6,600 square feet of the adjacent bay that was once home to The Bedroom Shoppe. Manager Jamie Osmond said the growth is an indication of the store’s success.

“We draw quite a bit of traffic,” he said. “Central Alberta is our main bread and butter, but we do have a handful of regular customers that come from Edmonton and out of Calgary.” There’s more business to be had, suggested Osmond. “It’s still amazing, on a day-today basis, how many people we get who are from Red Deer or Central Alberta who didn’t know we were here.” The current expansion should help raise the store’s profile, with the additional space allowing more products to be carried — including the popular Under Armour line of clothing. “But most and foremost, it will allow us to spread the product out and display it properly and merchandise it properly,” said Osmond. “If you were in here before, it was pretty tough to get around in

here.” Wolverine Guns & Tackle has already moved its clothing, fishing and camping departments to the new space, even as renovations continue. “We’ve still got another month and a half to two months before we’re completed.” Meanwhile, the store moved its archery lanes from the main floor to the second level last weekend, which has improved customer flow in the retail area below. “It’s quite a bit brighter now,” added Osmond. “So it’s way easier to see the targets and see your arrow when it gets to the target.” The new lanes are also wider, and future work on the second floor — expected to take place within weeks — will extend their length to 30 yards from 20. “That’s got lots of people excited,” said Osmond. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Troubled railroad could be sold by year’s end THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Maine — The bankrupt railroad whose runaway train sparked a fire and explosion that killed 47 people in Quebec could be sold by year’s end, the company’s trustee said Thursday. Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway has made no secret that its sale will be necessary to repay creditors and victims following the July 6 disaster Lac-Megantic, Quebec. And railroad trustee Robert Keach said he’s already been approached by “several” potential buyers. “There is a sale process that has already begun. We’re talking to interested parties,” said Keach, a Portland attorney. He declined to name any of the potential buyers. The company filed for bankruptcy protection a month after the disaster, and the sale of the Hermon-based railroad would have to be approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Court. If a buyer purchases all 512 miles of rail in Maine and

Canada, then the deal would have to be approved by officials in both countries. Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway continues to operate but has laid off most of its workers because rails through Lac-Megantic remain out of commission, disrupting the flow of goods. Next week, Keach hopes to file with U.S. Bankruptcy Court a proposal for a loan that’ll help the company continue operations through the bankruptcy process. Keach also plans to file a proposal for funding bankruptcy administration costs that he says would not drain funds that should go to creditors and victims. A judge previously said he was concerned that attorney fees could drain the company of funds before victims of the train crash could be compensated. Company Chairman Ed Burkhardt discussed the idea of selling the company soon after the unattended train, with 72 tankers of crude oil, began rolling and derailed in downtown Lac-Megantic, a lakeside town of 6,000. Several tankers exploded, destroying 40

According to documents filed in bankruptcy court, the railway company is worth $50 million to $100 million, but Keach declined to discuss how much the company might sell for. Any proceeds from the company’s sale would be used to repay creditors and victims, supplementing $25 million in insurance payouts available for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage, fire suppression and environmental impact. Critics say the cleanup alone will exceed $25 million. Keach said he expects to formalize a process for selling the railroad in the coming weeks, and he remains optimistic that a deal can be struck by Jan. 1. “It’s moving as I would expect. Everybody involved in the process thinks it should be and can be completed by year’s end,” Keach said. There’s a possibility, however, that regulatory approvals in the two countries could take longer than that, pushing the sale into early 2014, he added.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Toronto stock market closed higher Thursday amid corporate dealmaking and some positive American employment news. The S&P/TSX composite index rose 87.25 points to 12,845.06 in a broad-based runup led by rising financials. U.S. private equity firm Directional

Aviation Capital is buying Bombardierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (TSX:BBD.B) Flexjet fractional business aircraft ownership service for US$185 million. The new owners are also ordering up to 245 Bombardier aircraft in a deal thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valued up to US$5.2 billion. Bombardier was ahead 26 cents or 5.5 per cent to C$4.98. BlackBerry (TSX:BB) was anoth-

er TSX driver, up 32 cents to $11.60 after the Wall Street Journal reported that the smartphone maker had narrowed the list of possible bidders for all or part of the company, and hopes to wrap up the auction by November. The Canadian dollar lost 0.13 of a cent to 95.18 cents US ahead of the release of the August employment from Statistics Canada.

U.S. indexes chalked up minor gains as traders digested positive jobs data a day before the U.S. Labor Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release of employment data for August. The Dow Jones industrials gained 6.61 points to 14,937.48 as payroll firm ADP reported that the American private sector created 176,000 jobs last month. Economists believe that the government report will show the U.S. economy cranked a total of about 180,000 jobs in August. Also, the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits dropped 9,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 323,000, near the lowest level since June 2008. And the Institute for Supply Management said Thursday that its service-sector index rose to 58.6 in August from 56 in July, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest point since December 2005. A measure of hiring in the index rose to 57, the most in six months. The Nasdaq gained 9.74 points to 3,658.78 and the S&P 500 index climbed two points 1,655.08. The jobs numbers out Friday may determine if or how much the U.S. Federal Reserve pulls back on the asset purchases that have kept longterm rates low and supported a rally on many stock markets this year. Markets have been preoccupied this week with the prospect of the U.S. leading a military strike against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, which it accuses of using deadly sarin gas against civilians. President Barack Obama is seeking U.S. congressional approval for such a strike and a vote could come as soon as next week. Financials were the biggest TSX gainer, up 1.37 per cent as Royal Bank (TSX:RY) advanced $1.08 to $66.56. Oil prices rose after the government said that supplies of oil and

gasoline each fell by 1.8 million barrels in the week ended Aug. 30. The drop in gasoline supplies was greater than expected, and refinery usage increased, both signs perhaps of solid demand for fuel. October crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange ahead $1.14 to US$108.37 a barrel and the energy sector gained per 1.26 cent. Imperial Oil (TSX:IMO) was ahead 83 cents to C$45.45. Other commodities were lower as December copper closed unchanged at US$3.24 a pound. The base metals sector rose 0.6 per cent and First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) was 22 cents higher at C$18.15. Gold stocks were the biggest TSX weight, down about three per cent as December bullion declined $17 to US$1,373 an ounce. Goldcorp (TSX:G) was down $1.02 to C$30.48. A U.S. hedge fund is making a renewed call for changes at Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX), calling for the breakup of the company and the addition of a mining engineer and geologist to its board. Mike Morris, principal and founder of Two Fish Management, says that there is no compelling reason for Barrick to own a worldwide conglomerate of gold mines. Barrick edged 45 cents lower to $19.95.

shares up on reports asset Bombardier BlackBerry auction could come by November sells Flexjet business jet service BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bombardier is exiting the fractional business aircraft ownership service after 18 years with the planned sale of Flexjet to a U.S. private equity firm for US$185 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sale of Flexjetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities is a unique business opportunity that will allow Bombardier to focus on its core business areas,â&#x20AC;? said Bombardier CEO Pierre Beaudoin in a statement Thursday. The Montreal-based aircraft manufacturer said the sale to a group headed by Directional Aviation Capital marks the next step in Flexjetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolution as a provider of premium business aircraft for use by companies and wealthy individuals. In addition to managing business aircraft and offering charter brokerage services, Flexjet allows customers to own a share of an aircraft which gives them a certain number of hours of usage annually or the ability to purchase flight hours. The new owners have also ordered up to 245 Bombardier aircraft in a deal valued upwards of US$5.2 billion. The order â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the largest in Flexjetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; includes a firm order for 85 business jets and 160 options for various Challenger and Learjet aircraft. The firm order, valued at US$1.8 billion at current list prices, includes 25 Learjet 75, 30 composite Learjet 85, 20 Challenger 350 and 10 Challenger 605 jets. Deliveries will begin in mid-2014 and continue through 2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This order is another very important endorsement for our Learjet and Challenger business jets. We look forward to having our products participate in the growth of Flexjet LLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities and its customer base,â&#x20AC;? Beaudoin added. Flexjet president Deanna White said the order ensures that the company will remain Bombardierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest customer of business jets and the manager of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest fleet of its business aircraft. However, she said the sale allows Flexjet to eventually add aircraft from other manufacturers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do not have any kind of limitations and in the future, this company will look at different manufacturers but today weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re placing all of our investment with Bombardier,â&#x20AC;? she said.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BlackBerry shares crept up for the third consecutive day as investors responded to reports that the smartphone maker wants to launch an auction process sooner rather than later. The Waterloo, Ont.-based companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock rose 32 cents to close at $11.60 on Thursday at the Toronto Stock Exchange. BlackBerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of potential buyers has whittled down over the past week as Microsoft announced plans to buy Nokia Corp.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handset division for US$7.17 billion. Chinese technology company Huawei also appeared uninterested after board member Chen Lifang told reporters in London that the company isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

shopping around for acquisition targets, but instead plans to focus on its existing operations. A report from the Wall Street Journal says BlackBerry has already narrowed the list of potential bidders, a logical next step after announcing last month that it would explore several â&#x20AC;&#x153;strategic alternativesâ&#x20AC;? including its possible sale. The Journal cited unnamed sources as saying that an auction process could be completed as early as November. BlackBerry has kept its options open since last year when it hired two adviser firms to search for ways to shore up cash. Earlier this summer it broadened those options when it said it formed a special committee to consider strategic alternatives, including its sale.

Edmonton-based singer/songwriter Ben Sures is holding a CD release party on Saturday night at The Hideout, south of Red Deer, for his new album, Son of Trouble.

Speaking to the human condition

BEN SURES’ NEW ALBUM SERVES UP PLENTY OF UNEXPECTED LYRICS, CATCHY MELODY LINES BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF With tunes such as Eat, Drink and Make Babies and Love Will Kick Your Ass, Ben Sures’ new album is comprised of some blues, a touch of folk — and a whole lot of quirk. Holger Petersen, host of CBC Radio’s Saturday Night Blues show, saw more folk than blues in Sures’ Son of Trouble release, while CKUA Folk Routes host Tom Coxworth called it a blues record, said Sures. Either description is fine with the Edmontonbased singer/songwriter who’s holding a CD release party on Saturday nigh at The Hideout, south of Red Deer. “I’m not a blues guy or a folk singer, I’m just me. . . . What this actually is is a Ben Sures record,” said Sures, who believes he’s “always too folksie for the non-folksies and not folksie enough for the folksies. The 45-year-old Winnipeg native is mostly known for his idiosyncratic song stylings. And his new album serves up plenty of unexpected lyrics amid the catchy melody lines. Sures believes his plain-spoken style speaks to the human condition in a relate-able way. For instance his tune Love Will Kick Your Ass goes: “There’s no reason to stop following your heart. Life would not be life if it didn’t smart . . . .”

“The last verse says that love is worth it,” said Sures, who took the optimistic step of proposing to his girlfriend of 10-plus years recently. But when asked if a wedding date has been set, the singer responded with a resounding “No! Just being engaged is OK for now. Let’s take it one thing at a time!” Sures is a slow mover, who admittedly “didn’t get my driver’s licence until I was 30 because I wasn’t in a situation where I needed it.” While proceeding cautiously through life, Sures often wades into contentious territory with his music. Eat, Drink and Make Babies is described as an irreverent ode to trailer park life. The 99 is a “punk blues” song that marries Wayne Gretzky to the Occupy movement, while I Could Be Your Man turns the notion of superficially judging people for their physical attributes on its head. The latter tune is all about the “unremarkable things that make people unique. Everybody has them,” said Sures — whether it’s knowing how to toss a killer salad, or possessing the now near-lost skill of beautiful handwriting. “I wanted to put a twist on the classic blues (theme) about a hot-looking lady or a hot-looking guy, which is pretty superficial, and talk about all the little things that make us special.” He compares being seduced by a person’s exterior, instead of his or her “core,” like appreciating an unseasoned guitarist who has managed to rip off a good guitar solo but lacks the skill to take it further.

“A lot of people don’t want to look beyond the general. They are afraid to look deeper.” Sures’ own guitar chops were seasoned by playing with a variety of bands. The musician, who discovered Robert Johnson at age 15, started honing his talents as a street musician, and proceeded to perform over the last 20 years with Paul Reddick, Harp Dog Brown, Rita Chiarelli and Ben Darvill of the Crash Test Dummies. He is also part of the Death Ballad Love Tellers, along with David P. Smith and Bubba Uno, and performs with another acoustic power trio, The Dead Stringers. “We only play music by dead people,” said Sures. Such an eclectic career could have only sprung from Winnipeg’s hothouse music scene, which has over the years nurtured Neil Young, The Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Crash Test Dummies, The Watchmen, Harlequin, Streetheart, Imaginary Cities, Weakerthans and Wailin’ Jennys, as well as Heather Bishop, Chantal Kreviazuk, James Keelaghan, Bif Naked and Fred Penner, among others. “I wouldn’t trade my formative musical experience in Winnipeg for anything in the world,” said Sures. There is no cover charge for his 9 p.m. show at The Hideout in Gasoline Alley, just south of Red Deer. For more information, call 403-348-5309. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Getaway squeals wheels toward a brick wall WHAT WAS ETHAN HAWKE THINKING? Getaway Half a star (out of four) star Rated: PG Getaway is 94 gruelling minutes of car chases, explosions and grimaces. The latter are amply supplied by Ethan Hawke. He looks as if he’s either passing a kidney stone or trying to decide how best to torture his agent for getting him into this hurricane of hackitude directed by Toronto’s Courtney Solomon (An American Haunting). Hawke is Brent Magna, a bummed-out ex-car racer on a desperate drive of destruction through Sofia, Bulgaria, PETER to save his kidnapped wife. HOWELL He’s involuntarily paired with The Kid, played by pop diva Selena Gomez, Magna’s passenger and scold in a trickedout speedster. They’re both under the eye, ear and thumb of an unseen psycho linked by video and voiced by Jon Voight, who adopts the accent of a bad Bond villain. Drive recklessly and smash stuff up, he tells Magna, or say farewell to your wife (Rebecca Budig). Couldn’t the psycho just buy a ticket to a Battle of the Monster Trucks show? All this is happening during Christmas and there’s only one reason for a Yuletide movie opening in August: it’s a lump of coal for our stocking. Gomez was OK as part of the Spring Breakers ensemble of bad girls earlier this year, but in this colead role she exhibits the acting range of a hubcap. Good thing she still has her pop career to fall back on. Voight has long ceased being a serious actor. He’s in it now for the laughs and the cash, although Getaway isn’t likely to generate much of either.

Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez star in Getaway: they are both in line for Razzie Awards. As for Hawke, we had reason to expect better of him. He’s a fine actor who has had a great year so far, winning critical kudos for Before Midnight and doing major bank with The Purge, a solid “B” homeinvasion thriller that did “A” box office. Hawke shouldn’t have to do crap like Getaway anymore. Maybe when he read the ludicrous script by Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell Parker, which could have been scribbled onto a napkin, Hawke thought he was getting into a film like Taken, which this barely resembles. But Taken had a sympathetic lead in Liam Neeson and also forward momentum, both of which Getaway sorely lacks. The movie goes everywhere and nowhere, visually incoherent even by the low standards

of modern action films. No amount of editing-room triage could have saved it. In a weird way, Getaway is almost a tribute to Hawke. A movie this bad would normally go straight to video or to landfill. The studio obviously figured Hawke’s star power is bright enough that he can shake some late-summer coin out of unsuspecting moviegoers. This may be too generous a thought. The only real benefit of Getaway is pointing out the likely winners of the next Razzie Award for Worst Screen Couple. Come on down, Hawke and Gomez, you certainly deserve it.

OTTAWA — Stephen Harper can soon add another line to his resume: published author. The prime minister’s book on the history of hockey is set to hit store shelves Nov. 5. Titled A Great Game: The Forgotten Leafs and the Rise of Professional Hockey, the tome looks at the early years of the game. It will also feature photographs of famous arenas and the game’s earliest star players. “Drawing on extensive archival records and illustrations, histories of the sport, and newspaper files, A Great Game delves into the fascinating early years of ice hockey,” publisher Simon and Schuster Canada said Wednesday. “It tells of the hockey heroes and hard-boiled businessmen who built the game, and the rise and fall of legendary teams pursuing the Stanley Cup.” Harper has spent years on the book, reportedly Please enjoy responsibly setting aside a few minutes each day to work on Northeast Corner it.

NEW YORK — Luther, the British detective drama starring Idris Elba as a procedure-flouting copper investigating seriously grisly homicides, returns for its third season Tuesday night on BBC America. I recommend watching with every single light in your house turned on. Luther’s criminals are no more savage than the ones found on TV’s innumerable other gruesome murder shows, and the series doesn’t feature Tarantino-esque splatters of red, but it is uniquely unsettling. Creepy sequences from this four-episode season, airing every night for the rest of this week, include a gnarled, elderly serial killer, looking like he walked right out of Munch’s The Scream, explaining that his shoe fetish stems from the relationship between foot-binding and vaginal strength; a grieving father taking off his hand with a blender; and a terrifying opening scene that made me as scared of the monsters under my bed as any 5-year-old. Luther is a great example of all of the annoying a TV show can do and still be worth watching, so long as it gets some essential things right. Luther’s saving graces are that intense, gloomy mood and Elba’s performance. No one has ever strutted with quite as much gravitas as Elba, a loose cannon in an impeccably tailored topcoat. Like any compelling fictional cop, he’s believable being super threatening or super protective, though hardly anyone, fictional cop or otherwise, is as alluring being either. Elba is far enough removed from playing Stringer Bell on The Wire that his John Luther does not suffer from the comparison, but both Stringer and Luther share a keen dispassion, always coolly clocking a situation even as they get violent. Luther is also the latest show to feature a storyline in which a vigilante-murderer sets up an online presence, like a live stream of one of his victims slowly expiring or a survey requesting public participation in some act of mayhem. (The Bridge has been doing a lot of this lately.) But on Luther, when the vigilante finally gets around to staging a very public hanging in front of a rabid crowd, somehow the only cops on the scene are Luther and his partner — which is very dramatic, but does not make much sense. Luther doesn’t sweat the plausibility of this sort of detail because the implausibility makes John Luther seem so menacing and dashing, a man who can hold off a mob with just his fists and good intentions. I rolled my eyes a little, but just a very little; it is really hard to scoff at John Luther.

Story about girl’s bond with chimp poignant We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves By Karen Joy Fowler $28.50 Putnam Publishing This book proved to be an entertaining and touching surprise. It begins with a little girl who talks too much. He name is Rosemary and at first her parents are pleased and impressed with her unstoppable conversation. But soon they begin saying, “If you think of three things to say, just say one of them.” Sometimes they tell her to begin the story in the middle. So, as advised, she has started this story in the midPEGGY dle, in 1996. Rosemary is 22, FREEMAN she has been at university for several years with no danger of graduating. She is not interested in those things that lead to a degree. Her parents, who were still paying her expenses, found her aggravating.

BOOKS

This part of the story sees Rosemary living a reckless lifestyle with a dubious “best” friend. There is good reason for her irresponsible attitude, and she soon begins to tell us the real story. Back to the year 1979, Rosemary is five years old. Her father is a scientist/psychologist, she has a brother Lowell, who is 11, and a sister Fern. Sometime during her fifth year, while Rosemary was visiting with her grandparents, her sister Fern leaves the family. No one is happy with this development. Fern and Rosemary have been inseparable almost since birth. Rosemary says, “Until Fern’s expulsion I’d scarcely known a moment alone. She was my twin, my funhouse mirror, my whirlwind other half . . . I was also those things to her.” Fern, of course, was a chimpanzee, being raised experimentally alongside a human child. Grad students visited the house often, observing and taking notes, but Rosemary knows Fern only as her loving sister. Fern dresses like her “sister” and learns sign language. They listen to stories together and roam the farmland that is home to the family. Rosemary is, both as an adult and a child, a wonderful character. She’s funny and creative and astute

beyond her years. But somewhere along the way Rosemary has stopped being a chatterbox — now she hardly ever speaks. Once she is in school, social acceptance becomes the watchword. In her mind she thinks through the years, remembering the good times and other times when Fern could do things that she herself could not do. She remembers how upset they all felt at Fern’s departure, how mother fell into depression, how dad drank too much. Lowell’s reaction in this broken family is flight, so now the family is down to one child. The bigger question in the story is the one about man and animals. What happened to Fern when the experiment ended? The well-intentioned actions of this family and others who also took part in the experiment were never the best choice for the chimps. Yet in all ways except speech, they were so the same. This writer has the story well in hand. Although there is great loss and heartbreak, forgiveness and acceptance are part of the poignant ending. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

A flawed ‘feminist critique’ of hormonal contraception BY LINDSAY BEYERSTEIN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Years before she founded Planned Parenthood, pioneering feminist Margaret Sanger dreamed of a “magic pill” that would put women in charge of their own fertility. As a visiting nurse in New York City’s tenements, Sanger saw women struggling with unwanted pregnancies, botched abortions and more children than they could take care of, thanks to husbands who wouldn’t cooperate on birth control. A woman who relies on a man for birth control, Sanger wrote in 1920, is “exploited, driven and enslaved to his desires.” In the early 1950s, Sanger joined forces with philanthropist Katharine McCormick to coordinate the research program that would drag that magic pill into existence. Sanger lived to see the 1960 launch of Enovid, the first oral contraceptive pill, and its success vindicated many of her hopes for women’s liberation. The pill ushered in a new era of educational and professional attainment for women. As a discreet, highly effective, and fully female-controlled form of birth control, the pill allowed women to plan their families, space their births, and even delay childbearing long enough to establish themselves in careers. In her new book Sweetening the Pill: or How We Got Hooked on Hormonal Birth Control, Holly Grigg-Spall offers what she calls a “feminist critique” of hormonal contraception. She argues that the so-called liberating force of the pill has been illusory. She claims that the pill keeps women in the thrall of patriarchal capitalism and destroys their health in the process. The addiction allusion in the title is not a metaphor — Grigg-Spall is convinced that the pill is an addictive drug. It would be tempting to dismiss the author as an isolated crank, but she is part of a disturbing effort to reduce women to their biological functions in the name of feminism. Sexists have been trying to reduce women to incubators since time immemorial,

but recently some self-proclaimed feminists have jumped on the bandwagon, arguing that true liberation means being left alone to experience feminine bodily functions like ovulation, childbirth and breast-feeding in all their natural glory. To these “feminists,” tampons and epidurals are keeping women down. And now, the birth control pill is, too. Grigg-Spall’s argument rests heavily on her own bad experience with Bayer’s Yasmin (which she blames for turning her into an emotional wreck) and comments on various websites dedicated to sharing pill horror stories. She indignantly anticipates that readers will dismiss these anecdotes: “I was sick, and then, I was well,” she writes. “That this is not enough evidence of the pill’s impact reveals so much about why women are encouraged to take this drug in the first place.” In other words, she accuses her critics of being sexist if they won’t accept her cherry-picked testimonials as proof that the pill harms all women. Actually, there are good reasons to be suspicious of uncorroborated anecdotal evidence about the effects of drugs on our bodies. Millions of American women take the pill every day, so it’s a statistical certainty that some of them will have symptoms like

depression, headaches and weight gain, which are among the afflictions most commonly blamed on the pill. The only way to separate true side effects from coincidence, selective recall and the power of suggestion is to conduct controlled clinical trials. Double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have not found modern birth control pills to cause more depression, headaches or weight gain than a placebo. There’s no question that some women experience side effects on the pill. Perhaps the best known and most serious of these is an increased risk of blood clots. The pill approximately doubles a woman’s risk of a blood clot, but her absolute risk remains low. On the pill, a woman’s annual risk of developing a clot rises from about 1 to 5 women out of 10,000 to 3 to 9 in 10,000. Bayer’s controversial Yaz and Yasmin pills probably push the risk of blood clots even higher (10 to 22 in 10,000). Even so, the risk of a blood clot on the pill is a fraction of the risk of a blood clot during pregnancy or the postpartum period. Are these acceptable risks? As a pill taker, they are to me, but every woman has to make up her own mind. Sweetening the Pill is poorly researched, shoddily argued, and fundamentally incoherent. A feminism based on the fetishization of bodily functions is no feminism at all. Grigg-Spall condescends to the millions of women who take the pill, claiming that we are dupes of pharma and feminism. The question is not whether there are trade-offs to the birth control pill, but whether the benefits justify the risks. Hormonal birth control isn’t for everyone, but for many women, the benefits of reliable, convenient, female-controlled contraception and the spontaneous sex life it allows are well worth the small potential downsides. The choice should be left to women and their doctors, not hijacked by ideologues.

Rocket to probe atmosphere, lunar dust NASA FIRING ROCKET AT MOON TO EXPLORE ITS THIN ATMOSPHERE AND ROUGH DUST doesn’t have an atmosphere,” said Sarah Noble, NASA program scientist. “It does. It’s just really, really thin.” The atmosphere is so thin and delicate, in fact, that spacecraft landings can disturb it. So now is the time to go, Noble said, before other countries and even private companies start bombarding the moon and fouling up the atmosphere. Just last week, China announced plans to launch a lunar lander by year’s end. There’s evidence Mercury also has a tenuous atmosphere, where, like our moon, the atmospheric molecules are so sparse that they never collide. Some moons of other planets also fall into that category, as do some big asteroids. Earth’s moon is relatively close, and by studying its atmosphere, scientists will learn about similar atmospheres in places farther afield, Noble said. Scientists also are eager to measure the lunar dust and see whether the abrasive, equipment-clogging particles actually levitate right off the surface. None of the previous moon missions focused exclusively on the atmosphere and dust. It will take LADEE — the size of a small car coming in under 1,000 pounds (453 kilograms) — one month to get close enough to the moon to go into lunar orbit, followed by another month to check its three scientific instruments. Then the spacecraft will be manoeuvred from 30 miles (48 kilometres) to 90 miles (145 kilometres) above the lunar surface, where it will collect data for just over three months. The mission will last six months and end with a suicide plunge into the moon. NASA is inviting amateur astronomers to keep an eye out for any meteoric impacts on the moon once LADEE arrives there on Oct. 6. Such information will help scientists understand

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA is headed back to the moon, this time to explore its thin atmosphere and rough dust. The robotic spacecraft LADEE will fly to the moon by way of Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Liftoff is set for late tonight from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. Weather permitting, the soaring Minotaur rocket should be visible along much of the East Coast — as far south as South Carolina, as far north as Maine and as far west as Pittsburgh. LADEE — short for Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer — will be the first spacecraft to be launched into outer space from Wallops. And it will be the first moonshot ever from Virginia in 54 years of lunar missions. The unmanned Minotaur rocket consists of converted intercontinental ballistic missile motors. A peace treaty between the United States and Russia specifies the acceptable launch sites for those missile parts; Wallops is on that short list. All but one of NASA’s approximately 40 moon missions — most memorably the manned Apollo flights of the late 1960s and early 1970s — originated from Cape Canaveral. The most recent were the twin Grail spacecraft launched two years ago this weekend. The lone exception, Clementine, a military-NASA venture, rocketed away from Southern California in 1994. Scientists involved in the $280 million, moon-orbiting mission want to examine the lunar atmosphere — yes, that’s right, the moon’s atmosphere. “Sometimes, people are a little taken aback when we start talking about the lunar atmosphere because, right, we were told in school that the moon

August hotter than normal TEMPERATURE UP ALMOST TWO DEGREES BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Summer finally came to Red Deer in August, according to Environment Canada. If only we can find a way to make it linger a while. Senior Climatologist David Phillips said after a slow start to the month, it warmed up quickly. “We ended up with an August where the daytime high was two degrees warmer than normal, the night time temperature was about 1.5 degrees warmer than normal and the whole temperature was about 1.8, almost two degrees warmer and that is significant,” said Phillips. “We would describe a month where the temperature averaged half a degree above as warmer than normal.” For proper perspective on August, Phillips brought both June and July into the equation. He said on average temperatures were higher than normal, but the average high was lower. This occurred because nights were cloudy, trapping heat in from the day and elevating the minimum temperatures. “People were walking around feeling it was a little cooler than what the weather people are saying,” said Phillips. “The afternoon temperatures, where it matters for people, they were colder than normal.” With warmer than normal lows, that meant it averaged out as warmer than normal in June and July.

Sagan holds onto overall lead HESJEDAL MOVES UP TO 9TH BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TOUR OF ALBERTA

CAMROSE — Peter Sagan continued to lead the Tour of Alberta on Wednesday, finishing first in Stage 1 of the inaugural cycling race. The Cannondale rider from Slovakia, who is among the favourites to win overall title, also won the prologue time trial on Tuesday and leads the overall classification by 23 seconds. “Today my team did a very good job because today was all day on the front,” Sagan said. “And, also from the start there were attacks and we put only four riders in the breakaway. Then we were always on the front for the pulling.” Sagan won Wednesday’s sprint finish, posting a time of three hours 22 minutes 17 seconds and earning the 10-second winner’s time bonus to retain the yellow jersey with an overall time of 3:30:35.

Rohan Dennis of Garmin Sharp is second overall while teammate Ryder Hesjedal of Victoria moved up a spot to ninth, 40 seconds behind Sagan. Hesjedal finished 19th Wednesday with the same time Peter Sagan as Sagan. BMC Racing’s Cadel Evans, the 2011 Tour de France champion and another rider considered to have a chance at the first-ever Tour of Alberta podium, is fourth 30 seconds back of Sagan.

Regina’s Rob Britton is the top rider on the Canadian national team, 1:10 off the pace. Wednesday’s 158-kilometre stage moved north along Edmonton’s refinery row, then looped back south through rolling parkland to end in Camrose. The race cycles through prairies, badlands and foothills before ending up in downtown Calgary on Friday for a total 900 kilometres of racing. The Tour is the largest and most highly ranked bike race ever held in Canada. It involves six top-ranked teams from the European Pro Tour and eight teams from the Continental tour, as well as the Canadian national team. Its 117 riders include 11 winners of single stages or one-day events, five current national champions, two world champions and two major European tour winners, including Hesjedal, winner of the 2012 Giro d’Italia.

Red Deer College is doing its best to put last spring’s cuts behind it and forge ahead with the school year, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the school. Enrolment is up four per cent across the board at RDC, with the Trades and Technology Department seeing a 20 per cent increase. More than 7,500 students are enrolled in classes this year and an additional 13,000 are enrolled in Continuing Education programs. “We’ve put the budget cuts behind us and we did everything in our power to mitigate the impact on students, the people who work here and the programs we offer,” said college president Joel Ward. “We’re all about moving forward, not backwards. We don’t talk about that anymore, we talk about what has to happen next and we have a four per cent increase in enrolment, 7,500 students on our campus and we continue to grow.” RDC Student Association president Martin Cruz said the college tried its

best to minimize the impact of the budget cuts after the Alberta government cut grants to post-secondary institutions by 7.3 per cent. “Regardless, it is going to affect the students,” said Cruz. “It will change a little of what we have here, but nothing major.” The student association is working on recommendations to send to Advanced Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk for student discussions in regards to changes to the Post-Secondary Learning Act. In 1964, when the school started, there were 119 students and 11 faculty. “I think we’ve grown substantially since then,” said Ward. “We have plans to continue to grow.” Ward said they have lots of events planned for the 50th anniversary, putting a spin on everything they would normally do. “As we roll out our grand opening of City Centre Stage on Sept. 20, we’ll be talking about how that connects to our 50th anniversary of film, art, music and theatre, all downtown,” said Ward.

McIntyre in, Plante out of mayoral race BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

SYLVAN LAKE

Sylvan Lake’s mayoral race has seen a shake-up. Coun. Dale Plante, who jumped into the contest in March, has dropped out of the race and has endorsed fellow Coun. Sean McIntyre, who announced he was seeking the town’s top job on Facebook on Wednesday. McIntyre said he was ready to run for mayor but was reluctant to compete against a fellow councillor with a similar platform. When Plante changed his mind McIntyre Sean McIntyre saw an opening. The 29-year-old, who is completing his first term as a councillor, sees communication and engagement as key areas that need some work. “I think communication is probably the thing we have been lacking most,” said McIntyre, who is a local insurance broker and has lived in town since he

‘I THINK COMMUNICATION IS PROBABLY THE THING WE HAVE BEEN LACKING MOST . . . I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO FILLING THAT VOID FOR SURE.’ — COUN. SEAN MCINTYRE MAYORAL CANDIDATE

was six years old. “Communication is something I’m mildly obsessed with,” he said, with a chuckle. “I’m looking forward to filling that void for sure.” He wants to see improvement in the way the town engages its residents, surrounding communities and higher levels of government. McIntyre, who is co-ordinator of the town’s annual Shake the Lake festival, also seeks changes in how the town approaches its future and recognizing Sylvan Lake’s assets, such as its natural beauty, volunteerism and community spirit.

His main goal is to build a better community by working together to nurture what the town has while finding ways to provide what it lacks. “We’ve got a lot to do in the way of planning for the future,” he said, adding that involves working with other municipalities around the lake and in the region. McIntyre is married with a five-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. For more information go to www.facebook.com/SeanFromSylvan. Meanwhile, Plante said while he was geared up and ready to run for mayor he feels McIntyre offers another well-qualified candidate. “It certainly wasn’t an issue that I didn’t feel confident to go in on the race,” said Plante, who announced at a Sylvan Lake Chamber of Commerce meeting on Wednesday morning that he will seek instead a second term as councillor. Plante said if elected he plans to continue to serve the community, support the mayor and have an impact on future direction, especially on issues such as economic development. McIntyre joins incumbent Mayor Susan Samson, who is seeking a third term as mayor, and seven-year town resident Matt Prete in the race. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Wildfire hazard still high near Rocky Mountain House BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF One grass fire ignited by fireworks and one burning vehicle were extinguished in the Rocky Mountain House Wildfire Management Area on Sunday. Eight abandoned campfires were also discovered over the long weekend. Barry Shellian, fire information officer for the wildfire management area, said a burning SUV was located about 40 km southwest of Rocky, in an area known as rig street, and was detected from a wildfire lookout tower. The fire was discovered mid-afternoon. RCMP are investigating.

The grass fire, in a ditch at the intersection of Hwys 22 and 54, also happened on Sunday afternoon and grew to about .03 hectares. Shellian said luckily all the abandoned campfires were smoking without flames. “What I do appreciate is we didn’t have to respond to campfires with an open flame, but it still had the potential,” Shellian said on Wednesday. “I think people let these fire burn out. Visibly it might seem like it’s out. I think often it’s left with the best intent, not realizing there’s potential smouldering there.” At least three of the campfires were not dosed with liquid before they were abandoned, he said. Several of the abandoned campfires were also located near rig street, named for the number of oil rigs operating in the area.

STORIES FROM A1

WEATHER: Lack of precipitation By combining these elements, the summer comes out to be slightly warmer than normal. “Coming into the summer, winter weather seemed long as it began before Halloween and went on beyond Easter, and summer just seemed to not get going as people wanted it to,” said Phillips. “I think it was the shortness of summer that may have been the greatest irritant in Central Alberta.” Helping August was the lack of precipitation. The local weather station recorded just 13 mm of rain for the entire month, below the average of about 70 mm. “It was almost, from a farming point of view, you couldn’t order better weather,” said Phillips. Red Deer has been lucky in avoiding the first frost of the year. Phillips said the earliest recorded frost over the past 35 years was on Aug. 7 and the mean first frost over the same time period is Sept. 7. The latest frost in that time frame occurred on Oct. 7. Frost is not predicted in the long-range, seven-day forecast from Environment Canada. “We have had, in recent years, remarkable Septembers,” said Phillips, adding even recently September has been the warmest month of the year. Tuesday’s high was 27C and Wednesday’s was 29C, where the normal for this time of year is 19. “We will see a couple of not so nice days coming up, but then we’re back up to 24 degrees,” said Phillips. “My sense in the short term is we’re seeing a typical September, something that reminds you of fall, but rolls back into what summer weather should be like. “Our models are showing that the next 10 days, two weeks and month we think it will be warmer than normal. September warmth, not July warmth.” Environment Canada is anticipating warmer than normal temperatures, which could be as much as

LOTTERIES

They were either discovered by the public or air or ground patrols. Shellian said rig street sees a lot of random camping because it’s easy to access. But camping and allterrain vehicle use in the area is concern for oilfield companies. “Pipelines are not constructed as a roadway. They are soft ground. Subsurface damage could be done that we wouldn’t know about. It’s sitting there leaving a danger behind for somebody else.” The wildfire hazard remains very high in the Rocky Mountain House Wildfire Management Area. Only one fire still burns in the area. It is under control at O’Chiese landfill. Action has been taken to ensure it will not spread. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Also its 50th anniversary, RDC will host both the Alberta College Athletic Conference basketball and volleyball men’s championships in February, and Kings hockey will return with the first home game scheduled for Sept. 27 at the Penhold multiplex against Augustana.

Brad Donaldson, vice-president academic, said the increase in enrolment is great for the college. Adding to that is a two-year diploma program in occupational therapist and physiotherapist assistant, which is full of students for the program’s start. Three programs will graduate their first students later this year: the bachelor of business administration degree, electrical engineering technology diploma, and the automation and manufacturing engineering technology diploma programs. As 2,300 of the students are enrolled in university and university transfer programs, Donaldson said it is difficult to know how many of the students will be ready to graduate this year. Cruz suggested new students take advantage of all the student services available, some of which are free or inexpensive. Services include counselling, academic advisors, disability services, learning support, child care and bus passes. Cruz has been pushing for an increase in the college’s web network, which can now support 40,000 devices, up from 9,000 last year. “It’s fast and free for all students,” said Cruz. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Doctors demand coal plants be phased out other province. The research used government data, health studies and a peer-reviewed modelling protocol developed by the Canadian Medical Association. It suggested that between 2008 and 2031, there will be more than 3,000 premature deaths, 2,000 hospital stays and 10,000 emergency room visits from health problems caused by coal-fired electricity. The conclusions were immediately disputed by TransAlta Utilities. A spokesman said a 2006 university study found no difference in the health of people living near coalfired plants and the provincial average. Air monitoring shows contaminant levels are a small fraction of what’s allowed under provincial guidelines. The health groups aren’t backing down, Forman said. Coal plants need to close. “We can have a debate on how quickly that happens, but we think coal has to be phased out — and not along the 50-year timeline the federal government requires. We think Ontario’s timeline of about 10 years is reasonable.” Forman said coal can be replaced with a combination of wind and solar power, with lower-carbon, cleaner-burning natural gas acting as a bridge fuel. The time is right for such a move, he suggested.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Health groups say the Alberta government should move more quickly to close coalfired generating plants in response to a study suggesting they are causing respiratory problems. “The more data that comes out worldwide on coal just strengthens our belief that coal is not just climate villain No. 1, but a huge contributor to human illness and death,” Gideon Forman of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment said Wednesday. Forman’s group, along with the Asthma Society of Canada and the Lung Association, are running ads this week in provincial newspapers that point to the consequences of coal-fired power plants. The ads say emissions from such plants cause 4,800 days of missed school or work a year in Alberta because of asthma symptoms. They show a young girl using an asthma inhaler and say “Coal makes her sick.” The ads build on research released in March and done for the groups by the Pembina Institute. It attempted to calculate the health costs of coal-fired generation, of which Alberta has more than any

SEATTLE — Two Canadian climbers injured when they and a companion fell into a crevasse on Mount Rainier are reported to be improving at a Seattle hospital. The Seattle Times reports that Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said Tuesday the men were in serious condition and remain in intensive care. Neither they nor a third Canadian climber who was less seriously hurt have been identified. The third climber was taken to a different hospital. Chief Ranger Chuck Young says the trio fell about nine metres into the crevasse on Sunday, landing on a ledge as they descended from the 4,400-metre summit. Young says rangers were dropped off near the site and the three climbers were flown to the Sunrise Visitors Center by helicopter. The two most seriously hurt men were then flown to the hospital.

BRIEF Canadian convicted of killing his wife wins new trial in North Carolina RALEIGH, N.C. — A former Calgary man convicted of strangling his estranged wife in 2008 has won a new trial in North Carolina. Media reports say an appeals court made the decision on Tuesday after hearing arguments on whether Bradley Cooper’s defence lawyers were thwarted from presenting their best case. Cooper was convicted in 2011 of first-degree murder in the killing of his 34-year-old wife Nancy, whose body was found at a construction site five kilometres from their home. Her husband claimed she went out for a jog on July 12, 2008 and never returned. Prosecutors said Cooper had killed his wife because he was angry she planned to divorce him and move to Canada with their two daughters. Cooper, 39, has repeatedly insisted that he had no part in his wife’s death. The Canadian couple had moved to Cary, N.C. from Calgary in 2001, a year after they married.

Lure of jobs not enough to get workers to stay: StatsCan BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A Statistics Canada study suggests that the lure of jobs in Alberta’s energy sector isn’t enough to persuade out-of-province workers to make a permanent move. The study found there were plenty of people moving to Alberta between 2004-09. But only one in four decided to make Alberta their primary residence. They listed their home province on their tax returns. “While some of the inter-provincial workers observed in this study subsequently made a residential move to Alberta, at least as identified on their T1 tax return, most did not,” wrote the authors, Christine Laporte, Yuqian Lu and Grant Schellenberg. “It is likely that factors such as family ties, social networks, organizational arrangements (e.g. daycare, school enrolment), home ownership and quality of life were important factors,” they wrote. “Nonetheless, the prospects of readily available jobs elsewhere had appeal. When weighed against the costs of moving interprovincially, the benefits of working inter-provincially was the option chosen by these individuals,” said the report. “Quite clearly, people react to employment opportunities in various ways, and, more broadly, labour markets adjust in various ways.”

Charges have been laid against an SUV driver in connection with a fatal collision west of Rocky Mountain House on Aug. 26. Rocky RCMP said a southbound SUV, driven by a 52-year-old man, collided with a westbound motorcycle at about 12:30 p.m. at the intersection where Hwy 756 meets Hwy 11. The man and woman on the bike were airlifted by STARS to the Foothills hospital in Calgary, where the woman died of her injuries. Hospital officials advised police on Tuesday that the woman had died. The SUV driver has been charged under the Traffic Safety Act with failing to proceed safely after stopping at an intersection. He is scheduled to attend Rocky Mountain House provincial court on Oct. 30. Police have not released the names of any of the people involved in the collision.

Province says cash continuing to roll out to June flood victims CALGARY — The Alberta government says cash is rolling out steadily to those affected by June flooding, but 2,200 people still aren’t able to return home. The province says in its latest update that $8.6 million has been sent out to cover disaster recovery claims — on top of an initial outlay of $70 million in pre-loaded debit cards. About 25 per cent of 8,200 applications have been processed. The government says long-term accommodation in temporary neighbourhoods has been provided to 950 people, with plans for 850 more in the next month. An additional 400 people are in other temporary housing such as hotels. The extent of the damage in High River continues to be evident as 2,050 truckloads of debris have been removed from the town’s residential areas. About 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of material have been removed from the Highwood River system.

Calgary mayor calls Charter of Quebec Values ‘horrible’ public policy CALGARY — The mayor of Calgary says he will not back down from recent comments he made about Quebec’s proposed policy on religious symbols. Naheed Nenshi told reporters last weekend that the fight for human rights will continue, while referencing the PQ government’s Charter of Quebec Values. The charter would reportedly restrict public employees from wearing religious symbols as attire. Nenshi said Tuesday that the Quebec proposal is horrible public policy and shows intolerance. The mayor also says Quebecers who feel unwelcome in their province as a result of the proposed charter would be welcomed in Calgary. Quebec cabinet minister Jean-Francois Lisee disagrees with Nenshi’s interpretation of the proposal, saying that having a more neutral state is a sign of modernity and progress.code:2

The Syrian dilemma JUST WHO SHOULD WE SHOOT AT, IN SYRIA, THIS WEEK? There are a lot of people around the world who are demanding that somebody “does something” to punish the Syrian armed forces and their President Bashar Assad for using sarin nerve gas against civilians in its second largest city, Damascus. Damascus is the seat of the country’s wartorn government. The evidence we in the West are GREG seeing is that Assad’s forces NEIMAN used nerve gas against women and children in his own capital, with perhaps as many as 1,500 casualties. Syria is in the midst of a civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people and left more than six million either displaced inside the country, or in vast tented refugee camps outside the country. And nobody who believes in democracy would want the leaders of either side to win. But there are people in Canada who are disappointed in the lukewarm reactions of our own federal government in condemning this crime, and who are embarrassed that the official response of promising “all aid short of help” is being used once again. The question that bothers me is that if Canada were to join a U.S.-led military intervention in Syria (don’t bother hoping there will be one led by the United Nations), just who would be shooting at? Brutal (and possibly insane) dictator Assad and his forces, or brutal (and possibly insane) religious extremists who would supplant him? There does not appear to be a rational, moderate leadership option in the wings with much hope of producing a stable, peaceful democracy. So who are the criminals we should be taking out? Assad cannot be trusted to give you an honest weather report, but I put some credence in his statement that once outside military powers intervene in Syria, this whole thing is able

LETTER

Young citizen rises to a challenge, but where was the help? The other day, I was driving down Greig Drive Near the fitness park. A couple of good-sized trees had blown down during the night and we’re lying partially on the road. What caught my eye was a young man, about 14, struggling, on his own, to move a 800-pound tree off the road so no one would hit it. I sped to help the young man out and learned that his name was Bryce and he had recently moved here from B.C. When I thanked him for his citizenship, he said, “Alberta’s been good to me, the least I can do is be good to her.” Then he thanked me for stopping, saying that several people had driven past laughing at this kid trying to move a tree. He was an amazing person to talk to, intelligent, soft spoken, and conscientious. And I’m sure he will grow into a fine man. I just wanted to send this in as a thank you to Bryce for his act of service to his community. Paul Trottier Calgary

Congress — and thereby, the American public — before using military power to “downgrade” Assad’s ability to launch chemical weapons again. Congress is coming into election mode right now. There must be enough Vietnam vets still around to warn against putting military boots in Syria today. “We should have this debate,” Obama said Monday. Yes, perhaps we should. I wouldn’t want to predict what the situation in Syria would be, by the time Americans have had their debate. The number of dead already exceeds 100,000, and international news reports tell us the country is bleeding itself of women and children fleeing the violence. About a third of Syria’s total population has already fled the country. I agree with the critics that it is distasteful to see despotic leaders use genocidal-scale attacks against their own people. But the extremists waiting

to take over when Assad is finally gone are far from gentle by comparison. Perhaps, then, Obama does have the right proposal: bomb the bejeebers out of Assad’s missile delivery systems, and assure the populace that the world does feel for their plight, while leaving it to the Syrian people to decide the outcome of this civil war. That would seem rational. But rationality, like truth, was one of the first casualties in this conflict. Canada has no capability of intervening in Syria to disable Assad’s chemical weapons, and it is rather unseemly for us to suggest someone else do it for us. Until we know exactly who we want to shoot at, and for how long, it’s best we just not shoot at all. As distressing as that may be, while the videos play, showing us the innocent dead.

Real problem with low interest rates BY DAVID HOWDEN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE In a paper for the C. D. Howe Institute, economist Paul Masson argued that the Bank of Canada should start allowing interest rates to rise to avoid greater real-estate bubbles and excessive debt. While his argument that the Bank of Canada’s low interest rate policy destabilizes the economy through potential bubbles and debt buildups is correct, unfortunately, his focus misses the broader problem with low interest rates. The Bank of Canada is charged with the goal of price stability. To this end, it tinkers with the money supply in a bid to engineer that perfect amount of credit growth to keep inflation around that supposed sweet spot of two per cent a year. (One would think “price stability” would be no inflation, but that’s another issue.) Most people understand that there are some real problems with engineered prices. Any student of a first-year university economics class knows that prices are not generally set by any one person in the economy. They are the result of the interplay between the supply and demand for something. The idea of relying on Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the price of T-shirts for Canadians is instantly seen for what it is: stupid. Not only would one price for Tshirts benefit at the expense of others, but before too long imbalances would develop in the T-shirt market as the price would not signal to consumers how many they should buy, and producers would have no idea how many they should make. What makes money different? Very few people seem to have a problem with Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz setting interest rates for the Canadian economy. The misgivings that they do have are mostly misdirected, and make for a dangerous situation. Money is a common denominator. It forms one side of almost every single trans-

to spin into more evil than we want to think about. Assad has two allies: Russia and Lebanon. Russia keeps the UN from doing anything useful; Lebanon keeps the world from doing anything at all. As of Tuesday, there were about 720,000 Syrians in refugee camps in Lebanon. You can get your family into Lebanon on one tank of gas from Damascus. How many of them might be capable of exporting their civil war outside Syria, and how many of them might end up becoming helpless targets of Lebanese military? Just south of Lebanon sits Israel. Israel is beefing up its missile defences in the event some nutbar to the north decides to go their direction to avenge any U.S. incursion into Syria. What happens after that is a shopping list of bad consequences. That, I suspect, is why President Barack Obama overruled his advisors on Monday and said he wanted to consult

action that takes place in the economy. One may think that playing God with money and not letting the market dictate its price and allocation would be dangerous, and they would be correct. Nobel Prize-winning economist Friedrich Hayek once said that the best test of a good economist is the ability to see not just the direct effects of an action, but those results that are more veiled. The effects of the Bank of Canada’s low interest rate policy are pretty obvious. Canadians are among the most indebted people in the world today. The superficial picture of the country looks rosy: lots of nice shiny new apartments in Toronto and expensive cars on the streets of Calgary. It doesn’t take a good economist to see these things, or to make the connection that cheap money through low interest rates enabled these niceties of life. The part of the Bank of Canada’s low interest rate policy that is not easily seen is the shift that has silently taken place in the Canadian economy over the past decade, or longer if one’s memory is good enough. The interest rate is the price that co-ordinates consumption and production activities. Distorting it, like distorting any price, will have wide-ranging effects through the economy because of the important link that money provides through all transactions. Consumers will save less and spend more, probably taking on debt in the process. The same goes for government and businesses. This is adequately covered by the press, and this over-consumption is what most people are really referring to when discussing the ill effects of low interest rates. But what about production plans? The interest rate is a key variable in finance that signals to producers how long they should be willing to wait before their investment pays off. As rates fall, the present value of future cash flows increases, so that producers are enticed to wait longer for them. As rates rise, this present value decreases so producers try to make investments shorter to get their payoffs as quickly

as possible. In sum: the lower the rate, the longer the wait. As the Bank of Canada lowers the interest rate, producers start investing in longerdated investment projects. Projects like research and development, for example, will not pay off for a long time (if at all) and investors will have to forgo profits over this time period. Consumers too will have to forgo any fruits from these investments for a long time period until they mature. It is not that long-dated investment projects are bad; indeed, research and development is a necessary activity in any economy. The question becomes one of balancing it against the other needs of the economy. If you do too much of one action, the tradeoff is doing less of another. Investing too heavily in longer-dated projects means that there is less money directed towards shorter-dated projects. Infrastructure building comes to mind. As anyone who has driven on a Canadian highway recently can sympathize with, there is woeful investment in maintaining roads but there seems to be no shortage of funding trying to build the next iPhone. Too much investment in longer-dated projects at the expense of shorter-dated one represents what economists call “malinvestment” and makes for an unsustainable situation. Unfortunately, the Bank of Canada’s Poloz sees no reason to change the policy of low interest rates he inherited from former governor Mark Carney. This is regrettable, because the longer he keeps the interest rate artificially low, the greater the imbalances in the economy will be. If you think that roads are in terrible condition now, try to picture what they will look like a decade from now if this policy continues to detract investment from them.

G20 leaders’ summit in flux OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper has departed today for an international meeting that was once forged out of economic tumult and is now being reshaped by an unfolding political crisis. The G20 leaders’ summit in St. Petersburg, Russia was supposed to be focused on global economics — on nurturing stability in countries rocked for the past five years by slowdowns and bank failures. But with amped-up tensions over Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons, even summit host Vladimir Putin has had to concede that this year’s G20 will have to adapt and tackle the question of what to do about the violence and loss of life. Harper spoke with British Prime Minister David Cameron about Syria before leaving for Russia this morning. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird is accompanying the prime minister and will meet separately with counterparts from the United States, Brazil, China, Russia and Turkey. That’s a big change as far as G20 summit history goes — countries such as China and Russia have resisted any previous attempts to make it more than an economic forum. Foreign ministers met under its auspices last year, but well before the actual summit took place in Los Cabos, Mexico. Russia, which insists on the

Canadian trainers to begin Afghan withdrawal next month KABUL, Afghanistan — Canadian troops will begin a phased withdrawal from Afghanistan next month, leaving fewer than 100 soldiers on the ground by the time the training mission officially comes to end in March. But questions remain about whether the Afghan force Canadians have been training will be capable of fending off the continued onslaught of insurgents. Maj.-Gen. Dean Milner, who’s in charge of Canadian troops and deputy commander of the NATO training mission, expressed confidence that the Afghan National Army and police will be able to meet the challenges. But U.S. Gen. Joseph Dunford, Milner’s boss and the NATO commander in Afghanistan, said in a recent interview with the British media he believes Afghan forces are suffering an “unsustainable” level

primacy of the United Nations where it has a veto on the security council, participated with great reservations. “Putin does his calculations,” said Gordon Smith, a distinguished fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), and a former sherpa for Prime Minister Jean Chretien at several G7 and G8 summits. “He realizes that on Syria he’s not going to be alone in advocating caution, but that may have interesting longer term dimensions as to where the G20 goes and whether the G20 starts to talk about political issues which it hasn’t done before.” Indeed, other countries are not as keen as say the United States and France to sanction a strike against the regime of Bashar Assad. U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to do some heavy lobbying on the sidelines of the summit. India, for example, has said it would prefer to wait for full results of a UN chemical weapons inspection. The British Parliament last week voted down a resolution calling for military action. Canada and Australia, meanwhile, say they believe U.S. intelligence that places the blame for a chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb on the Assad regime. The landscape is different than it was in June at the G8 meeting in Ireland, where Russia’s stance on Syria prompted Harper to say it was more like a “G7 plus one.”

And yet Harper, like Putin, was also hoping for a summit that was focused on the global economy — a policy area entirely in the prime minister’s wheelhouse. Canada and Russia were on the same page when it came to wanting more definitive commitments from G20 nations on how they would tackle their deficits and debts, planning for fiscal consolidation as stimulus projects wind down. They are also interested in helping to unlock billions of dollars held by insurance companies, mutual funds and other private institutions by making it easier and safer for them to invest in major infrastructure projects. And there is support for common action against tax evasion and avoidance by helping to automatically exchange tax information rather by doing it only on request. “A key part of the economic plan for this summit was to send a message of confidence to world markets,” said John Kirton, co-director of the University of Toronto’s G20 Research Group. “If the message that is sent through the media from St. Petersburg is that the G20 leaders disagree on Syria, that’s a negative.” Kirton says there is still a possibility that the larger leaders summit could find a way to work Syria into their economic work. Fighting terrorism, for example, is one area where all countries can find agreement.

of casualties and that the fledgling army might need western help for another five years. Milner says trainers have been working to mitigate the threats against Afghan troops by providing more extensive training for avoiding and diffusing roadside bombs and booby traps. Canadian troops fought a five-year counter-insurgency war in Kandahar, and Milner says the region is more stable now.

among other regions, of its power to veto constitutional changes. On the other hand, the failure of Quebec and other provinces to acknowledge the law’s existence suggests they might not even notice if it was struck from the books. British Columbia, which was granted an extension until this Friday for filing its Senate reform submission to the top court, may yet raise the 1996 law. But so far, the only intervener to mention it is Serge Joyal, a Liberal senator. The 1996 law — introduced by then-prime minister Jean Chretien in the wake of the nail-bitingly close referendum on Quebec independence the previous year — was intended to mollify that province’s long-standing demand for a veto over constitutional changes. The general amending formula prescribed by the Constitution requires the approval of Parliament plus seven, unspecified provinces, representing at least 50 per cent of the population. Chretien’s law effectively changed that formula by stipulating that the federal government would not ask Parliament to approve any constitutional change that did not have the consent of five regions: Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, as well as two Prairie provinces and two Atlantic provinces representing at least 50 per cent of their regions’ populations.

Feds, provs ignore regional veto law in court fight over Senate reform OTTAWA — An important piece of Canada’s constitutional puzzle is being ignored by federal and provincial governments as they argue over the correct amending procedure needed to reform or abolish the disgraced Senate. Conspicuously missing from the hundreds of pages of legal arguments submitted by governments to the Supreme Court of Canada is any mention of Bill C-110 — a 1996 law that made the already daunting rules for changing the Constitution even more challenging. The Harper government’s refusal to discuss the law has triggered speculation that it may be prepared to repeal it or find a way to bypass it — potentially explosive moves that would strip Quebec,

Anesthesiologist accused of molesting patients a ‘sexual opportunist’: Crown

BRIEFS

Life with no chance of parole for 13 years for man who killed his mom

TORONTO — Allegations from 21 women that an anesthesiologist molested them during surgeries are strikingly similar and cannot be chalked up to hallucinations, the Crown said Wednesday, calling Dr. George Doodnaught a “sexual opportunist.” In his closing arguments at Doodnaught’s trial, Crown attorney David Wright said that the sedatives used during the surgeries — sufenta, mida-

WINDSOR, Ont. — A Windsor, Ont., man who stabbed his mother to death last year and then stole her money to buy drugs was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison with no chance of parole for 13 years. Jason Coffey, 41, had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the July 2012 slaying of 63-year-old Florence Coffey in the home the two shared. Court was told Coffey was addicted to crack cocaine and that he stabbed his mother 40 times with two knives before stealing money from her purse to buy drugs. Coffey had been battling drug addiction for two decades, court heard. The defence had sought parole eligibility after 12 years, while the Crown wanted 15. Coffey cried at the sentencing, saying he would never be able to forgive himself for what he did. He said that it should have been him who died. Assistant Crown attorney Elizabeth Brown said the crime has tormented the Coffey family. “They’re suffering. They’re struggling... They weren’t able to put in words the sense of loss they feel.” RANGE “She was a hard-working, productive member of our community. Everybody knew Flo, and everybody loved her, • True convection system especially her family,” • 5 cooking elements Brown said. • Consistent heating

Each of the women reported that Doodnaught kissed them, touched them inappropriately or put his genitals in their mouth while they were under conscious sedation, all but one during surgeries at North York General Hospital between 2006 and 2010. He has pleaded not guilty to 21 counts of sexual assault. The women told detailed, vivid accounts of similar assaults by the now 64-year-old doctor, Wright said. “If patients were hallucinating one would expect an element of randomness,” he said.

QUEBEC — Quebec Premier Pauline Marois says she is proud of her first 12 months in power even though she admits it’s been a difficult year. Today is the one-year anniversary of the Parti Quebecois’ election victory which saw the sovereigntist party return to power with a minority government. Marois says she is proud of what she calls her government’s accomplishments in defending the French language, protecting the elderly and restoring social peace after last year’s student protests. The premier made the comments before heading into a cabinet meeting in Quebec City. While Marois did not want to discuss Quebec’s fragile economic situation, her finance minister did. Nicolas Marceau said government revenues this year are currently below projected levels because of weaker than expected consumer spending.

Firefighters battle blaze in part of downtown St. John’s, N.L. ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A section of downtown St. John’s, N.L., was blocked to traffic Wednesday as firefighters doused a blaze that engulfed three attached buildings. A health food store, an empty storefront and at least two apartment units were gutted as the empty structures burned. Fire trucks lined a section of Duckworth Street above the popular George Street bar district. Jerry Peach, deputy chief of the St. John’s Fire Department, said no injuries had been reported. A small crowd gathered to watch as firefighters used a crane to hose flames that jumped from the burning rooftop. There was concern that the intense blaze might spread to adjacent homes and restaurants but it appeared to be under control by early afternoon. Some nearby businesses and homes were evacuated as a precaution when thick smoke filled the air. Part of the downtown along Duckworth and New Gower streets was closed to traf-

Taking flight Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

Heading out on a flight over the Red Deer River, this 0sprey goes on a hunt for an afternoon meal west of Penhold.

World smaller without Beau One of the frequent characters in the last decade of these columns, our last Brittany, Beau (short for Beaujolais), died on Aug. 29. Dr. Dugan, who has cared for all our dogs, said that Beau’s heart was barely beating before he went to sleep, but he did eat, for his last meal, three of the fresh pods of peas he loved, hand-fed to him by Herself. It was only at the end of April that Beau was diagnosed with congestive heart disease, and a couple of months later the gods piled leukemia on BOB top of that. We could not beSCAMMELL lieve the speed of Beau’s decline to the point he wasn’t having any fun, and had to be helped into his house. In this recent heat, Beau would spend much of his time reclining on the cool concrete in the shade under his house and often not emerge, even when visitors entered his big yard, including me sometimes, and even our grandchildren he so loved to play with. That amazingly-designed dog house was home to all five of our Brittanies, including Raz, who was scheduled to be our last dog. But Raz succumbed to severe, untreatable epilepsy at just over three years and, the next day, Herself told me she wanted another Brittany pup, ASAP. Good Brittanies are hard to find, so I consulted Leslie Andreas of Maple Creek, who had sold us Red, perhaps our all-round best and also our longest-lived Brittany, at two months over 13 years. Leslie’s waiting list was three years but in those days I could not survive that long without a hunting dog, and asked for suggestions. Leslie said she was seeing too many Brittanies that couldn’t find their dinner dish, but was impressed with a Brittany line being produced by Scott Listoe of Castor. Beau came home with me on Aug. 28, 2003. I had gone to Castor on a very hot day to look at a litter of Britts, born on July 3, 2003. Scott Listoe let the roiling piddle of puppies out into his yard. Only one came boldly over to me to say hello, then went to sleep in my shadow. “This is the one,” I told Scott. “His name is Beau.”

ABOVE: Beau, me and our last pheasant. INSET: Beau finding me blocking the ditch on our last pheasant hunt in October 2012. From the start, Beau stubbornly clung to his principals. He absolutely would not piddle, let alone do No. 2, in his kennel run, despite our equally stubborn efforts otherwise. We even transferred to a corner of his run turf he had anointed on the lawn; still no go in the run, even through his last illness, and to his dying day.

Beau was also our only Brittany that would not retrieve to hand. In fairness, that may have been because too many people were playing “fetch” with him and letting him turn what should have been retriever training into a game of keep-away.

Fall is the perfect time for transplanting Cooler temperatures in the fall make it an ideal time to plant or transplant trees, shrubs, and most perennials. Take advantage of the plant sales as companies are clearing plants before winter. When buying, always look at the condition of the plants. As the plants have been grown in pots all season, expect the plants roots to fill the container to the point of growing out the bottom of the pot. Avoid perennials with dry, crisp leaves as they have likely died from lack of moisLINDA ture. That being said, the tops TOMLINSON will be looking old and many will be turning yellow as they prepare to become dormant before winter. Ignore plants that look too small for their container. They have not thrived in the pot and may not make it through the winter. An attractive tree will be symmetrical. If the tree is misshapen in the pot, it will be that way when it is planted. New branches rarely grow from old wood.

GARDENING

With the exception of fruit trees, and some uniquely shaped trees, all trees should have a strong central branch. The shape of the shrub is less important as they can be easily shaped by pruning but look for symmetrical ones with a number of stems. Check to see that all branches are a live. This is easy to tell when there are leaves on the plant. Once the leaves have fallen, bend the branches to see if they are flexible; dead wood will be brittle. Check the needles and scales when purchasing evergreens. If they are dry and fall off easily, the plant is not healthy. Large brown patches can be pruned out but they may or may not grow back. It is best to leave them behind. Selection at this time of year is limited as the plants have been on the market for over four months. Do not get excited by low prices as the wrong plant or a sick one is not a bargain. When planting a tree or shrub, dig a square hole that is twice as wide as and slightly deeper than the rootball. A square hole with rough sides encourages roots to spread into the surrounding soil. Round holes with smooth sides can work as a pot. Roots will reach the hard surface and grow in a circle. Once the hole is dug, fill it with water and let it recede. Next, remove the pot and look at the root-

ball. If half of the surface is covered by roots, cut two lines through the bottom and part way up the sides of the rootball, forming a letter X. This will make the roots spread into new soil as opposed to continuing to grow in a circle. Place a mound of dirt in the middle of the hole and place the rootball on top of the mound. Fill in the hole with existing soil and press down firmly. Water the plant and add more soil if needed. Resist the temptation to back fill the holes with soil that is richer than the surrounding soil as the plant will not push into harder, less nutritional soil if what they need is close at hand. Perennials are planted similar to trees and shrubs except the holes can be similar in size to the rootball. Fall is a perfect time for moving and/or splitting perennials within the garden. To reduce the plant’s stress, have the new hole ready for the transplant before digging the original plant. The less time the plant roots are exposed to the sun the better. Leftover plants can be donated to others or composted. Linda Tomlinson is a horticulturalist that lives near Rocky Mountain House.

Nutrition from a yogic perspective

MIKE ROIZEN & MEHMET OZ

DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN

The new science of staying sharp Worried about Alzheimer’s disease? You’re in the majority. A survey says it’s North America’s most feared disease. While nothing, so far, can guarantee you’ll prevent or reverse the plaques, tangles and nerve-cell death that characterize Alzheimer’s, it turns out keeping the blood vessels in your brain healthy may cut your risk of brain dysfunction by a lot. There’s more and more evidence from academic and scientific brain centers around the world that a few simple steps can protect your cognitive powers and slash your risk for Alzheimer’s. A new picture of what causes cognitive dysfunction and Alzheimer’s disease, and how to prevent it, is emerging. In it, your brain’s vital supply lines — the tiny blood vessels that deliver oxygen and fuel to every one of your 100 billion plus gray cells — play a bigger role than we used to think. Recently, scientists peered into the brains of more than 4,000 people who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and found that nearly 80 per cent also had signs of serious blood-vessel damage within their brain. In another new report, brain scientists found that blood vessel problems associated with high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol in middle age and diabetes (they reduce the healthy flow of blood to the brain) when combined with bodywide inflammation seem to raise the risk for Alzheimer’s. OK, docs, but what should I do to keep my mind agile longer? Great question! The answer: Preventing or controlling problems with your blood pressure, cholesterol and/or blood sugar levels can lower your odds for Alzheimer’s by almost 40 per cent. So here are five strategies that can cut your risk, starting right now. Manage stress: We believe this is key. Good studies have been done and more are under way, but we think it’s worth acting now to soothe mental and emotional tensions in your life and in your head.

Please see STRESS on Page B3

When most people think of nutrition, especially in Western culture, they think of calories in versus calories out, i.e. consuming more calories requires burning more calories. In yogic tradition, nutrition can be thought of in a more spiritual kind of way, believing that food is the creator of life force, prana or kundalini energy, bringing vitality and health. Yoga, meaning “yoking” or union of mind, body and spirit, is practiced as not just a means of gaining strength and flexibility but as a means of cultivating an inner awareness, self-realization, and enhancing an inner energy or life force called “kundalini,” allowing one to experience more joy, peace, feelings of ecstasy and love, as well as minimize the mind’s anxieties and quiet emotions, ultimately allowing one to feel a sense of purpose in their life.

If you are a regular yoga practitioner, you may have experienced some of these effects or some of the feelings, leading towards these effects, including a sense of calmness. Much scientific study has acknowledged the force of the Kundalini energy, including work by the famous psychologist Carl Jung and much by Dr. Lee Sannnella, MD. So how does nutrition come into play? We cannot only live but also eat in a way that enhances the kundalini experience. This includes incorporating more nutrient dense, highly mineralized foods, including lots of dark leafy greens and an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Future of health care — proactive, not reactive Two of the most important principles I took from my naturopathic medical education were the prevention of disease and the emphasis of educating my patients; both of which I think have been lost in the majority of medicine today. I view this as a huge problem as our health care has maxed out budgets and cut jobs on a regular basis, yet our care is based on treating sickness instead of preventing it. Case in point: A 51-year-old male truck driver grudgingly walks into his doctor’s office for his annual checkup and to review his most recent blood work. SHANE His doctor tells him that JOHNSON everything looks fine, but he is on the verge of pre-diabetes due to his blood sugar results. NATUROPATHIC The visit ends there and the MEDICINE patient goes back to living his life as he had been before as he did not think it was something to be concerned about. Fast forward two years later. This man returns to the same doctor again for another annual checkup. Upon reviewing his most recent blood work, he is now told that he has Type 2 diabetes. He is given one prescription for a blood sugar medication and another medication for a blood sugar monitor and is sent on his way. A mere 24 hours later, he walks into my office for his first visit and is visibly shaken by the news. He does not fully understand what diabetes is, he has no idea how to work the blood sugar monitor, let alone

know when he is supposed to check his sugars and to top it off he does not know what a normal value for blood sugar is. This is not the first time someone just like this has walked into my office under the same unfortunate circumstance. Where was the medical system two years ago educating this man about what it really means to have pre-diabetes? Where was the discussion about nutrition or a referral to a dietician to prevent diabetes from becoming an issue? To say the least, a little education and disease prevention would have gone a long ways. Under no circumstances should you ever feel rushed in a doctor’s office. If you do, then it is a clear sign that you need to go somewhere else and explore different options. Your health is too important to be overlooked. Doctors need to allow for the appropriate amount of time to review lab work with patients, explain to them what it means and to look for optimal levels of blood work; not just whether someone falls in the “normal” ranges. If you want to stay healthy longer by preventing the development of illness, I encourage you to speak to your naturopathic doctor and start making positive changes today. Find out what you are at risk for with advanced testing methods and jump ahead of the curve! Be more proactive with your health. Dr. Shane Johnson ND was born and raised in Red Deer and is the owner of Aspire Natural Medicine. He completed his naturopathic medical training at Bastyr University, and is among only a handful of naturopathic doctors in Alberta to complete an additional one-year residency in family medicine.

FOODS: Healthy fats allows for ‘lighter feeling’

FROM PAGE B1

BEAU: Rock solid on point Fortunately, Beau had a laser nose and was rock solid on point; not only could he find his dinner dish, he would stand, pointing it, for as long as you cared to croon “steady . . . steady . . .” to him. He’d unfailingly find and point a downed pheasant, then lay down with it between his front legs and give you the “see what I found” look, until you traded him a dog biscuit for the bird to avoid being growled at or nipped. Beau pointed, then “found” his first pheasant years ago when Dr. Jake Reimer and I scratched it down near Patricia. His last was five years ago with Don Hayden and me on Beau’s favorite hunting spot, my old “farm” near Brooks. Since then, my mobility problems have robbed Beau and me of too much pheasant hunting. I’ll soon miss Beau telling me, when the first trace of gunpowder scents the cooling fall air, that it is time to think Brooks and upland birds, as he did just a year ago. So we took Beau to Brooks for opening day, and Jake Reimer tried to hunt him down ditches with other hunters and their dogs, while I blocked the far end, sitting in my walker. That worked for a while but then, as always, Beau wound up hunting for — and finding — me. There’ll be no more canine nagging to take our dog where he could do what he was born to, even just for a trip to the Stump Ranch, a run in the hayfield, and a swim or three in the creek; without Beau, I won’t go. Beau’s death has shrunk my . . . our … world so that our huge backyard seems smaller … and emptier … without him. Herself misses him following her around out there, pleading for peas. I’ve always believed, like my dad, that the best way to survive the death of a dog at dawn is to get a new one by sundown. We won’t do that this time. Dad left a dog surviving him, and the grief of that last Labrador was a life lesson to us. Bob Scammell is an award-winning columnist who lives in Red Deer.

Healthy fats from foods like avocados and more easily digested proteins like plant based proteins, including beans and chickpeas, or hemp seeds allow for this lighter feeling in the body, ultimately enhancing the kundalini energy. This is where excess weight and poor diet can have an effect on moods — it’s essentially blocking the flow of this energy. Individualizing the diet is also important. From an ayurvedic standpoint, this means discovering your own “dosha” or mind-body type to determine which foods would be most beneficial to you. The three doshas are pitta, kapha, or vata. Personality traits, including your temperament, physical body type, sleep patterns, and even your complexion all play a role in determining which foods should be consumed.

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

“Bone Loss - How Serious Is That?” Dear Dr. D: I am confused about bone loss. My sister back east was told 2 years ago she wasn't a candidate for implants because of bone loss. Now, another dentist is saying it is no problem – he'll just 'grow bone'. How realistic is this? The bone we are talking about is the bone surrounding the root of A: your tooth. If the tooth is unhealthy (periodontal problems affect 85% of the adult population) it is very easy for the bone to deteriorate. If the tooth is missing, either from disease, accident, or extraction – that bone shall too recede and be absorbed by your body. We must first measure the depth of bone available. It is very much like putting up a fence. If your fence post is only 6 inches deep, the first strong wind will blow down that fence because of force. Teeth are similar – and require a solid anchor or any implant tooth will be similarly subject to failure. We utilize a variety of methods to augment bone, some natural and some man-made. Once the implant is placed, Mother Nature takes over and will actually regenerate bone around the base of your implant! You may have heard a dentist telling you at some point – “Only floss the teeth you want to keep!' The bacteria that builds up around the base of our teeth is not only hard on the gums, but it is actually poisonous to your body as well. There is clear evidence that periodontal problems increase the likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, diabetic problems, and now Alzheimer's Disease. We see many patients at Alpen Dental who are contemplating a variety of treatment. One of the first things we do is take a measurement of their 'perio pockets', or spaces near the gumline. This is an area where we can absolutely repair the damage that time has done, and increase not only your oral health but provide a big help to your general health. We want the remainder of their teeth to be equally healthy so that our restoration can indeed be permanent. The implant will never decay, and you get to take care of both your implant and natural teeth in an identical manner.

Rafa keeps rolling A YEAR AFTER MISSING U.S. OPEN WITH A BAD KNEE, NADAL REACHES SEMIFINALS BY OVERWHELMING ROBREDO U.S. OPEN BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — It’s as though Rafael Nadal never left. If anything, he’s playing better than ever. A year after skipping the U.S. Open because of a bad knee, Nadal powered his way back to the semifinals at Flushing Meadows, overwhelming 19th-seeded Tommy Robredo 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 on Wednesday night. “I think I played my best match at the U.S. Open this year. Great to be able to play your best match in the quarterfinals,” Nadal said. “Playing a little better every day is a great feeling.” The second-seeded Nadal improved to 20-0 on hard courts in 2013, part of an overall record of 58-3 with nine titles, including his record eighth championship at the French Open in June. At the next Grand Slam tournament, though, Nadal flopped, exiting in the first round at Wimbledon.

That surprising defeat, against a guy ranked 135th, came on June 24. Feels like eons ago. Nadal hasn’t lost a match to anyone since. His 12 major trophies include the 2010 U.S. Open, and he has reached at least the semifinals the past five times he entered the tournament. Nadal did not come to New York in 2012, part of about a seven-month absence due mainly to a left knee problem. On Saturday, Nadal will face No. 8 Richard Gasquet, who edged No. 4 David Ferrer 6-3, 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-3. That one took nearly 3 ½ hours, and was filled with plenty of ebbs and flows, allowing Gasquet to reach his first major semifinal in six years. Nadal, meanwhile, was never challenged even the slightest bit by Robredo, who was coming off a fourth-round upset of 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer. That stunning result scuttled the possibility of a NadalFederer showdown, which would have been the rivals’ 32nd meeting on tour, but first at the U.S. Open. Robredo had been 0-10 against Federer before finally beating him

Monday. Perhaps that allowed Robredo to enter Wednesday believing he’d have a chance against Nadal, despite an 0-6 mark in their previous matches. So much for that. This one lasted 1 hour, 40 minutes, and it really was over after 22 minutes. That’s how long it took Nadal to dominate the first set, not only winning every game but also 24 of 29 points, including all seven that lasted 10 strokes or more. “He was up very quick,” said Robredo, who is 0-7 in Grand Slam quarterfinals, “and then there was nothing else to do. He was too good.” It took Robredo 39 minutes to finally win a game, the ninth of the match, and some fans stood to applaud, probably hoping for a more competitive evening of tennis. At the changeover moments later, the videoboards in Arthur Ashe Stadium showed Donald Trump in his suite, and the cheers turned to boos. With loud grunts, Nadal announced his violent, uppercut forehands, and they cut through the 20 mph wind, thick with spin, landing right near lines. Through two sets, Nadal compiled a 19-2 edge in winners — the final tally

was 28-10 — and that forehand of his also forced Robredo into plenty of errors. Actually, every aspect of Nadal’s game worked. One backhand lob was curled so well, Robredo tossed his racket up in the air toward the ball, knowing he had no chance of reaching the perfectly placed shot. Nadal never faced a break point, and through five matches so far in New York this year, he has not lost serve once, a run of 67 games. Nadal played at the French Open and Wimbledon with tape below his left knee, but not at the U.S. Open. He looks healthy as can be, covering the court well and tracking down shot after shot by his opponents. Now Nadal becomes Gasquet’s problem. They’ve played 10 times on tour, and Nadal has won all 10. “Last time I beat him, I was 13,” Gasquet said, referring to a junior match he looked up on YouTube. “It was a long time ago.” When Nadal was told about that, he smiled broadly. “Yeah, I think I lost 6-4 in the third,” Nadal said. “Yeah, I remember.”

Havoc giving local fighters a forum LOCAL PROMOTERS STAGING MORE MMA SHOWS THAT GIVE LOCAL MMA FIGHTERS MORE BOUTS BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Ryan Machan and business partners Jesse Fox and Gary Vig had the best interests of Red Deer mixed martial arts fighters in mind when they founded the Havoc Fighting Championship in June of last year. “We recognized that is was hard to get fights with just one local Red Deer promotion company (Pure Fighting Championship headed by former UFC fighter Jason MacDonald) that held only two shows a year,” Machan said Wednesday. “The must be 40 fighters out of Red Deer now who don’t get a chance to fight here. When there are only two shows a year you can only take 10 local guys, so there’s not a lot of opportunities. We decided we would start an organization and eventually have a show every two months and give everyone a chance to fight in their hometown.”

Friday’s show at the Westerner Prairie Pavilion will be the third for the Havoc Fighting Championship following events last December in Calgary and in June at the Red Deer Sheraton Hotel. The Sheraton show drew close to 1,800 spectators, one of the larger gatherings in Canada outside of the UFC. “We’re hoping for a similar crowd this Friday, if not a bit bigger,” said Machan. “This is something Red Deer doesn’t get very often. If you want to watch a show you have to go to Edmonton or Calgary and it turns into a long, expensive night. Red Deer is a big city and is capable of staging more of these events.” Machan will fight on the Friday card, in one of six pro bouts that will follow eight amateur fights. The Red Deer athlete will take on William Sriyapai of San Diego, Calif., in a co-main event. “He (Sriyapai) has 160 Muay Thai pro fights. He’s been active since about 2001,” said Machan, who first entered the cage on a competitive level nine year ago.

Machan noted that it’s not difficult to attract fighters from the U.S. due to the cost of fighting in, say, Ontario. “It’s pretty easy for us because in Ontario, for example, it’s so expensive to hold fights because the commission fees are so high,” he said. “Guys will do anything to come to Alberta.” The first bout on Friday’s Havoc Fighting Championship show — sanctioned by the Central Combative Commission based out of Penhold — goes at 7:30 p.m. The card will feature a highly-anticipated HFC amateur lightweight title bout between Chris Chapman of Red Deer and Adam Wills of Cranbrook, B.C. The amateur fights are scheduled for three threeminute rounds. The pro bouts consist of three fiveminute rounds. The official weigh-ins are slated for today at 6 p.m. at the Prairie Pavilion. Tickets for the card can be purchased through the company’s website — havocfc.com. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

I expect Hamilton to win the rematch, but I seriously question the tactic where coach Austin pulls starter Henry Burris and throws back-up quarterback Dan LeFevour into the game, usually at a point when Burris has built momentum in an offensive series and moved the team into scoring territory — but not the red zone. It is either a stroke of genius or a really stupid and pointless manoeuver and I know where I lean on this one. Sunday is a CFL double-header and the early game features a rematch between the Argonauts and Alouettes in Montreal. The game will once again feature rookie quarterback vs. rookie quarterback and makes it difficult to nail down a winner because of that unpredictable factor in these matchups.

young pivots will be targets for pressure tactics. I predict an Argo victory in Montreal because I saw Argo quarterback Zach Callaros begin to exploit the Montreal pressure defence a little more in the second half of the Tuesday game. He used his slots and running backs fairly effectively in a short pass game and thus he was able to find a few seams in the Alouette blitz packages. The last game of the weekend is the Banjo Bowl in Winnipeg. The Roughriders visit their prairie friends in Winnipeg for a rematch and I believe the final result will be the same in this game. The Riders are too much for the Bombers to handle this year and I have little reason to pick one of the weakest football teams in recent CFL history to win the game unless I get a serious case of sudden onset brain damage. I admire the fans in Bomber-land because these are the times that will severely test their loyalties and so far they have answered the bell, even if their team has not.

Jays dropped Mitchell preparing to start for in extra innings Stamps in rematch with Eskimos Diamondbacks 4 Blue Jays 3 PHOENIX — The Toronto Blue Jays roughed up Arizona right-hander Randall Delgado right away, building a threerun lead. Then the Blue Jays went quiet. Real quiet. Struggling after its early burst, Toronto became the first team in 43 years to leave no runners on base in an extrainning game, losing 4-3 to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday after Willie Bloomquist hit a runscoring single in the 10th inning. “It was just one of those games,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. The Diamondbacks have gone through an upand-down season, leaving their playoff hopes clinging by a thread. When it comes to pulling off the walk-off, they’ve been one of baseball’s best. Against the Blue Jays, Arizona rallied from a three-run deficit after Delgado’s shaky first inning. The Diamondbacks pitchers faced the minimum from then until the 10th inning, when Will Harris (3-0) worked around a baserunner to keep the game tied in Arizona’s franchise record-tying 21st extrainning game. Eric Chavez got the final rally started by blooping a single off Luis Perez (0-1) and pinchrunner Adam Eaton moved to third on A.J. Pollock’s single off Jer-

LOCAL

emy Jeffress. Late on a previous pitch by Jeffress, Bloomquist lined a 1-2, 100-mph fastball off the right-hander through the right side of Toronto’s drawn-in infield, sending his teammates rushing onto the field to douse the hero with water and dirt. It was Arizona’s 13th walk-off hit of the season and the fourth career for Bloomquist, a veteran who didn’t seem to particularly enjoy his teammates’ pigpen antics. “I don’t think Bloomquist liked it, but he’s usually miserable, anyway,” Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. “We’re like, ’C’mon, Willie, get dirty.’ It’s a meek sacrifice to get the game-winner in my mind. It’s a minimal sacrifice.”

Kevin Broderson of Lacombe and Scott Anderson of River Bend tied for eighth in the PGA of Alberta Tour Championship Wednesday. The two finished at 144 after Broderson had rounds of 71-73 and Anderson shot 76-68. They both won $800 and finished 16 strokes back of Tyler LeBoutillier of Silver Springs, who had two rounds of 64 and won $4,000. He finished seven strokes ahead of Red Deer native Todd Halpen of Golf Canada Centre, who finished at 6669—135 and won $2,500. Joey Sereda, who is also from Red Deer and plays out of the Academy of Golf Town in Edmonton north, placed sixth at 70-70—140 and won $1,200. Roy Hide of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club had rounds of 7377 for 150 and pocketed $285.

Carrigan holds lead at mid-am championship SPRUCE GROVE - Defending champion Kevin Carrigan of Victoria recored a second-round 3-under 68 Wednesday and held a four-shot lead heading into today’s third round of the Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Golf Championship at Blackhawk. David Bartman of Los Angeles, with scores of 67-68, had a 36-hole total of 7-under 135 and held down second place. Seanan Foley of Calgary, a regular in the Central Alberta Amateur held annually at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club, was 13 shots off the lead at 144 (72-72). Tim Boston of Ponoka (76-72-148) and Merv Dusyk of Sylvan Lake (74-74-148) survived the 36-hole cut. Among those missing the cut were Red Deer golfers Ron Harder (8174-155) and Grant Lee (85-81-166).

CALGARY — All signs point to Bo Levi Mitchell being Calgary’s starter Friday against the Edmonton Eskimos although the best term to describe the Stampeders quarterback situation this season is fluid. Head coach and general manager John Hufnagel indicated the order of selection on his quarterback depth chart is Mitchell, Drew Tate and Kevin Glenn. But he cautioned that could change prior to the Labour Day rematch in Edmonton. “If we had to play today, Bo would be No. 1, Drew would be No. 2 and Kevin would be No. 3,” Hufnagel said Wednesday. Glenn started but Mitchell finished Monday’s 37-34 win over Edmonton at McMahon Stadium. Calgary led 37-7 in the fourth quarter before Edmonton rallied to score 27 straight points and make a game of it. Mitchell completed 11-of18 passes for 225 yards and two

ries. Mitchell started and went the distance in Calgary’s 37-24 win over Winnipeg on July 26, throwing for 376 passing yards and three TDs. He has completed 51-of-72 passes (70.8 per cent) with nine touchdowns and no interceptions. The Eastern Washington product was slow off the bench Monday. Calgary recovered its own second-half kickoff and was primed to score from the seven-yard line when a Mitchell pass intended for Maurice Price was knocked down and nearly intercepted by Joe Burnett. The Stampeders settled for a field goal. Mitchell did throw two short TD passes to Price later in the second half, which proved to be important given Edmonton’s late surge. The explosive Price had three touchdown catches and was named the CFL’s offensive player of the week Wednesday. If Mitchell starts Friday, Hufnagel wants a more polished performance.

touchdowns in relief of Glenn, who left in the second quarter with a bruised knee. It appears the 23-year-old Mitchell, Calgary’s No. 3 quarterback in training camp, will get the ball again. With Tate and Glenn moving in and out of the lineup this season, Mitchell is getting plenty of work for a third-string player. “It’s another chance for me to get out there and get some more experience, get out there and play some games with the guys and try and get another win,” Mitchell said. “You’re playing the same team, but it’s a completely different game. “You’re definitely not going to prepare the exact seem. You’re going to change some things up.” Tate began the season as the incumbent but has struggled with an injury to his right throwing arm. The 28-year-old hasn’t played since the fourth quarter of a July 5 loss to Saskatchewan. Glenn, 34, has started six games in Tate’s absence but hasn’t finished three of them due to inju-

Participants network at the Central Alberta Career and Job Fair, which was held on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sheraton Red Deer Hotel. Nearly 100 employers and other exhibitors took part in the Alberta Human Services event, which is held every spring and fall in Red Deer. Charles Stachey, a communications manager with the provincial department said about 800 job-seekers had attended the fair as of 1 p.m. — down slightly from previous years.

Design ‘charrettes’ planned for Gaetz farmstead restoration BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Plans are taking shape to restore the J.J. Gaetz Farmstead heritage site to a six-acre community urban farm. Four design charrettes organized by ReThink Red Deer are scheduled in September and October. Rene Michalak of ReThink Red Deer said the purpose is to bring the community together over multiple sessions to develop a concept plan for the site. Michalak said the timing is right because it is the city’s centennial year and everyone is part of the story, the heritage and the future of our community. While the announcement of the closure of Michener Centre came after the charrettes were organized, Michalak said this presents an opportunity to preserve or save the land from development. “This is what I see as the intended future for the grounds and the natural area there from the Gaetz Lake Sanctuary certainly could benefit from that transition zone from wild natural space into developed area,” said Michalak. The J.J. Gaetz Farmstead heritage site is at the intersection of 36th Avenue and 55th Street between the cemetery on Michener Hill and Safety City. The design charrettes or sessions are scheduled for Sept. 17, 19, 30 and Oct. 2 at historic sites in Red Deer. All four will run from 6 to 9 p.m. Participants will talk about the history,

the heritage and the potential for the site. Each night there will be a keynote speaker discussing everything from urban agriculture, agroforestry, local food systems to sustainable community through permaculture design. Michalak said over the four sessions, they hope to find potential resources and partners before presenting the case to city council in November or December. The bigger project involves spinning off a worker co-op program out of ReThink Red Deer that would operate in the public as an urban permaculture research institute. There is no cost to attend the first three sessions. The fourth will be a fall harvest supper featuring local food and chefs and a presentation on the proposed concept plan. If you would like to attend the harvest supper you must attend each of the three charrette sessions. If you are unable to attend all three sessions, tickets in advance or at the door are $29.95. Charrettes (6 to 9 p.m.) ● Sept. 17: Michener Recreation Centre Theatre, 51A Street and 38A Avenue ● Sept. 19: Red Deer College (Cenovus Learning Common, east Trades Wing) ● Sept. 30: Festival Hall (Memorial Centre), 4214 58th St. ● Oct. 2: Heritage Ranch, 6300 Cronquist Dr. For more information, visit www. redthinkreddeer.ca. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

In about eight months, Red Deerians will find out how much money a worker has to earn to have a decent standard of living in the city. On Tuesday, Red Deer city council discussed a resolution supporting Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance’s research to determine Red Deer’s living wage. On Sept. 1, Alberta’s minimum wage increased to $9.95 from $9.75 an hour for all workers except those who serve liquor (those workers will continue to earn $9.05 an hour). Alliance co-chair Tricia Haggarty-Roberts said minimum wage is not enough. “To be able to live in Red Deer, to work at one job and partake in the best of what Red Deer and Central Alberta has to offer, requires significantly more than $9.95 or $9.05 an hour. That’s why we’re starting with the discussion and the research around a living wage for Red Deer,” Haggarty-Roberts said. On Friday, Public Interest Alberta released Statistics Canada data showing 25 per cent of workers in Red Deer earn less than $15 an hour and 16 per cent of those earn less than $13 an hour. Bill Moore-Kilgannon, executive director of Public Interest Alberta, said with municipal elections on the horizon and while Alberta Human Services Minister Dave Hancock consults Albertans to develop a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy, it’s the perfect time for Albertans to look at how wages factor into poverty. “If people are going to work full-time, full-year, they shouldn’t be living in poverty and they should be able to earn enough for a safe and healthy lifestyle. How we define that in each city, for each family type, is a conversation we want Albertans to have,” MooreKilgannon said. He said each city and town can start by adopting a living wage policy for its municipal workforce and contractors. Several cities in the United States have living wage policies. Haggarty-Roberts said

Calgary has already determined its living wage is $14.50 an hour at a job without benefits and $13 an hour with benefits. Grande Prairie’s living wage for two working adults, with two children, is $15.55 without benefits. Hopefully employers in Red Deer will work towards achieving a living wage for their employees, she said. Moore-Kilgannon said Alberta’s new minimum wage is not good enough to achieve Premier Alison Redford’s commitment to eliminate child poverty by 2017. He said more than half the 91,000 children in poverty in Alberta have at least one parent working full time throughout the year. “Clearly they’re living in poverty because their parents are not able to make enough money even though they are working full time,” Moore-Kilgannon said. Fred Scaife, executive director of the Red Deer Food Bank, said it’s children who suffer the most by not having a living wage. “We talk great storms about helping children. The reality is as long as you deprive that family of money, those children will suffer. They are excluded from things other children get to participate in. Those children will not continue on to higher education. They will continue to live in poverty,” Scaife said. It has been proven that a living wage works, he said. Mincome, an experimental project in Dauphin, Man., from 1974 to 1979, topped up income for participants and dramatically improved their lives, said Scaife. “All kinds of things in that community changed while that experiment was going on. Kids were going to school longer. Less people were in hospital. Hospital stays were shorter. People were healthier. The Dauphin experiment showed many incredible things,” Scaife said. “When you’re talking about a living wage, it draws one further away from the depths of poverty and it gives better advantage to those who need advantage the most.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Civic election signs spring up around town CANDIDATES MUST FOLLOW RULES BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF It’s a sign of the times — election signs are sprouting up like dandelions throughout the city. With 46 days to go until voting day, many candidates have erected signs all over Red Deer encouraging voters to consider them come Oct. 21, municipal election day. Since Sept. 1, candidates have been able to put the signs up on city land, but only in very specific areas. Frieda McDougall, Red Deer Legislative Services Department manager, said historically signs are not permitted on city property. “We have chosen to support the demo-

CIVIC ELECTIONS cratic process by allowing signs to come up for a specific period of time on city lands,” said McDougall. “This is an exception the city adopted many years ago to support the democratic process, but as a result we’ve designated locations we’ve reviewed in terms of pedestrian and vehicular safety, access and sight-lines.” A detailed list of the 37 designated areas where signs are permitted on public land is available on the city’s website. Signs are generally set up along major roads, including Taylor Drive, 32nd Street, 19th Street, 40th Avenue, 30th Avenue, 39th Street, Ross Street, Spruce Drive, 67th Street, 55th Street, 77th Street and Johnstone Drive. Signs for municipal elections can stay up until 48 hours after voting day. Aside from the signs on public lands,

there are also rules about putting election signs on private property. McDougall said signs must be three metres away from a curb or sidewalk. “We do that just so if a sign were to fall over from the wind, it wouldn’t fall on a pedestrian,” said McDougall. “And of course the candidates have to ensure they have the property owner’s permission.” In cases where signs are vandalized or hit by graffiti, the city will notify the candidate and get them to deal with it. If the graffiti is offensive, the city will remove it immediately. If anyone sees a sign that has been vandalized or hit by graffiti, they are asked to call the city at 403-342-8238. While many candidates have already put up signs some, such as Jon Wieler and Paul Harris, have decided not to put up election signs at all. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS Roads closed for Tour of Alberta When cyclists hit Red Deer streets for Stage Two of the Tour of Alberta today, there will be temporary road closures along the race circuit and limited parking downtown. Residents are encouraged to use Gaetz Avenue, 32nd Street or Taylor Drive to avoid delays. Racers are expected to cross the finish line on Ross Street from 47th Avenue to 48th Avenue around 3:30 p.m. This area will close at noon on Wednesday and reopen at midnight on Thursday. The intersections at 47th and 48th Avenues will remain open during this time. Parking will be limited downtown throughout the day. Residents are encouraged to take public transit or ride bicycles. There will be free and secured bike corrals at Central Middle School (48th Avenue and 51st Street). There’s also free parking all day for vehicles with a regular-issue handicapped parking tag on 48th Avenue and Ross Street. The finish line and the festival will take over two blocks of Ross Street from 47th to 49th Avenue. Road closures begin at noon today. See www. reddeer.ca for more information.

ATCO scales back east side pipeline ATCO Pipelines has scaled back a proposed natural gas pipeline project on Red Deer’s east side. In 2012, the company advertised a project for a 12-inch (323-mm) sweet natural gas pipeline to supply homes in the Red Deer area. That pipeline was to replace a 1956 line in place along 30th Avenue. After further review of available supplies and future demand, it was decided an eight-inch (219-mm) will be large enough and a new application is working its way through the approval process, said Lance Radke, ATCO manager of pipelines engineering and

integrity. The same affected landowners contacted with the last application will be reached again and given new information packages. If approved, the estimated $10-million project likely would be constructed in mid-2014. The eight-km line runs near an existing power line through mostly undeveloped land about 800 metres east of Timberlands to Vanier Woods. It will hook into an existing gas plant on 39th Street. It is expected the pipeline will meet growth demands for up to the next 40 years. The sweet, dry processed natural gas carried by the line is the type of gas that goes directly into home furnaces and this line supplies most of the city’s needs. Construction is not expected to cause any significant road delays. Once the new line is complete, the line next to 30th Avenue will be purged with air, capped and abandoned.

SPCA facility damaged in overnight break-in Two sets of glass doors were smashed during a break-in over night at Red Deer and District SPCA. No animals were taken or hurt. SPCA executive director Tara Hellewell said the thief or thieves searched drawers, probably looking for cash, but there was none to take. Only a watch was missing from the lost and found drawer. “We’re really disappointed we’d be targeted like that. But we’re very grateful that none of the animals were harmed and nobody was hurt. “We have a pretty top-notch security system. Now we are forced to look at additional precautions, more for the safety of our animals.” At the time of the break-in, about 30 dogs and 90 cats were in the building, which is located in an industrial area at 4505 77th St. The break-in through the front doors was discovered at 7 a.m. on Wednesday and the doors were quickly fixed. Hellewell said it will cost the SPCA a few thousand dollars for repairs, which is a lot of money that could have been used for veterinary care for the animals. “Ripping off a charity, or a non-profit like this, is pretty low.”

Stories about alleged assaults caused man to threaten suicide BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF

SEX ASSAULT TRIAL

A man accused of sexually assaulting his stepdaughter threatened to kill himself if she continued telling stories about him, court heard on Wednesday. The 39-year-old man is on trial before Justice Keith Yamauchi in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench for a series of charges going back to 2002, when his stepdaughter was still a toddler. Testimony from the alleged victim, her mother and an Innisfail RCMP officer has focused on incidents alleged to have occurred more recently, including an incident at a family camping trip in July 2011 and a second set of incidents at the family home at about midnight on Aug. 24, 2011, and at about 7 a.m. on the following day. The man’s name is withheld to protect the identity of his alleged victim, who is now 15 years old. Questioned on Wednesday morning by Crown prosecutor Robin Snider, the mother told court that her daughter complained in 2002 about her stepfather touching her private parts. Police were called to investigate but found no evidence to back up the complaint. It was felt at the time that she was repeating stories she had heard from other children, said the mother. She also described an incident about a year before the 2011 allegations, saying her daughter wrote a letter describing something she said her stepfather had done to her. “She said something had happened, but wouldn’t tell me what. All she would do was write it down,” the mother testified. She said her husband called the girl aside to talk after being shown the letter.

“(He told her) this kind of story could get me in a lot of trouble and I would have to kill myself,” she said. “(My daughter) apologized and went to bed. He took the letter outside and burned it.” The issue was set aside until the morning of Aug. 25, 2011, when, confronted by her mother, the girl said her stepfather had climbed into bed and started fondling her the night before and again in the morning, while her little sister slept in the same room. The mother said her husband was staying up overnight because he was switching shifts and needed to sleep during the day. The mother had gone to bed by 10 p.m. because she was due at work at 6:30 the next morning, but was awakened later by the dog, which was supposed to be locked up in the girls’ room. She testified that she was putting the dog back in its kennel when she found her husband behind the bedroom door, standing on the older girl’s mattress. He told his wife that he was looking for the dog. The woman told court she has not spoken with her husband since those incidents and that they are now in the process of getting a divorce and splitting up their property. Originally scheduled for completion on Friday, an adjournment is anticipated to accommodate testimony from an expert. Additional dates for completion of the trial are to be set this week. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

SEASON 17 FEATURES ONE SHOW A WEEK, SHORTER REHEARSALS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Juno Award-winning country singer George Canyon will perform inspirational songs at Red Deerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Life Fellowship Church this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A night of worshipâ&#x20AC;? with Canyon will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday at 20 Kelloway Cres. at the New Life Fellowshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fountain of Life Apostolic House. The singer from New Glasgow, N.S., best known for his Top 5 single My Name, recently recorded the worship album Believe and is touring the country to share devotional songs with fans. Over the years, Canyon has held many jobs, working as a law enforcement officer, a slaughterhouse beef inspector, and the owner/operator of his own recording studio. He always dreamed of becoming a professional musician and this was realized in 2004 when he competed in the Nashville Star 2 competition in the U.S. Canyon, the only Canadian to make the cut, ended up as the runner-up. The publicity launched his career, which has included a Juno Award for Best Country Recording of the Year for his album One Good Friend, and four Canadian Country Music Awards Nominations (CCMAs), including Male Vocalist of the Year and the Fan Choice Award. In 2007, he performed at the China-Canada: Hand in Hand joint concert in Vancouver, featuring CCTV (China Central Television) and CBC to commemorate the one-year countdown of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. One of the songs performed by Canyon was What a Fine Jasmine Blossom, sung entirely in Mandarin. Canyon performed it as a duet with Mandarin singer Tang Can. The singer, who has type 1 diabetes and has given talks to children about the condition, has also performed as an actor in several episodes of the TV series Trailer Park Boys and Heartland. His most notable film role was as Cattle Jack in Dawn Rider, a 2012 remake of a 1935 John Wayne film of the same name. Tickets to his Red Deer concert are $25 and can be purchased online at actmusicagency.com or at the door. Donations will also be accepted for Fountain of Life humanitarian projects in Africa.

Eyes on Ivan performs this weekend Eyes on Ivan, an Edmonton folk band borne out of Maritime influences and the notion of following oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, will perform this weekend in Red Deer. Eyes on Ivan was formed by Cory Dee, the keyboardist for Owls by Nature. Dee decided to pursue his Maritime roots to create heartfelt, simple and pure music with the new group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only in leaving everything and everyone we know behind that we are able to come back to who and what we were all along,â&#x20AC;? said Dee, who gained a clearer vision of what Eyes on Ivan could be with the help of producer Jay Sparrow. The new band is releasing its debut EP Way of the Fool this week. Eyes on Ivan performs on Saturday at The Velvet Olive. For more information, call 403-340-8288.

Valerie Harper leads a class of 12 amateur hoofers in the upcoming 17th season of Dancing With the Stars. And with younger contestants like Bleu, Daugherty and Riley, the show might skew to a more youthful demo. There are changes behind the scenes, too. There are new professional dancers, plucked from the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troupe. Contestants are starting off with a four-hour rehearsal limit per day that will hopefully cut down on injuries and fatigue. The pros were mixed on whether they liked the time constraint and said it could change as the season goes on and they have to do more than one dance per show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that we have a restricted time, I feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna get more done,â&#x20AC;? said Derek Hough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like,â&#x20AC;? said Karina Smirnoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four hours is tough.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every single time that last hour (of rehearsal) ends up coming up with both of us going, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh no. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not there yet,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said her partner Bleu. Smirnoff said she believes as the season progresses, the rehearsals might get longer. chance to give back to fans while supporting â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing local charities,â&#x20AC;? with 100 per cent of funds raised going to various non-profits. In Red Deer, Hines will perform at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the McManâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Plaza building, Unit 103 5214 47th Ave., in support of the McMan Substance Abuse Services for Youth. Hines, who uses a wheelchair because of a rare genetic joint condition called Larsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, is a strong supporter of charity and has performed at many fundraising events. Before releasing his latest album How We Fly in May, he sang Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No Place Like This for a TV commercial for Tourism Ontario, and created the song/ video Tomato Hat, used on the 1997 childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Treehouse program Ants in Your Pants. Hines, who has performed from China to the Middle East, won a radio contest at age 14 against hundreds of participants. This allowed him to start his career by singing at a Toronto Raptors game. More recently, he was part of the first-ever Canadian Paralympic Torch Relay in 2010. His North American tour is made possible through online fan contributions as well as the donated RV that Hines is using for touring. Tickets for the Red Deer show are $20.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Busy cancer patient Valerie Harper leads a class of 12 amateur hoofers in the upcoming 17th season of Dancing With the Stars. The cast was revealed Wednesday on ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Good Morning America. For a show that has reached an increasingly older audience, ABC added an injection of youth with reality stars Nicole â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snookiâ&#x20AC;? Polizzi of Jersey Shore and Ozzyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kid Jack Osbourne. Harper has defied odds with her survival since being diagnosed earlier this year with brain cancer. She recently filmed a movie role and joined a Nick at Nite reunion of The Mary Tyler Moore cast. A brain scan last month showed improvement for the 74-year-old former sitcom star, whose doctors say her cancer is getting close to remission. She will have her next scan in October. In an interview with The Associated Press, Harper said that so far, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not taking any precautions when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehearsing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (pro partner Tristan MacManus) says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you want to get water?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Which is great because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink enough water but (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) not to do with the cancer . . . (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) not an impediment to dancing and I just try to stay healthy and continue to lose weight so I look halfway decent in the costumes,â&#x20AC;? she said with a laugh. Harper said of her decision to join the show: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a (Lee Ann Womack) country song (with the lyrics) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;when you get the choice you sit it out or dance/ I hope you dance.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Other contestants on the new season of Dancing, which premieres Sept. 16, are Bill Nye, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Science Guyâ&#x20AC;?; Pretty Little Liars actor Brant Daugherty; former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson; singeractress Christina Milian; actress Elizabeth Berkley; High School Musical actor Corbin Bleu; Glee actress Amber Riley; country comic Bill Engvall; and King of Queens actress Leah Remini. The celebrities and their pro partners, minus Remini and dancer Tony Dovolani, all made the trek to New York to promote the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. Although still a ratings winner for ABC in its 16th season, the celebrity dancing contest has seen its overall audience decline and grow older, an issue for networks that get higher commercial ad rates for younger viewers. Dancing will now air once a week on Mondays rather than Mondays and Tuesdays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day a week is fine with me! I need more time to rehearse,â&#x20AC;? said Milian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get all the action in one night. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all killer, no filler,â&#x20AC;? said her partner, Mark Ballas.

New judges added to rebooted American Idol They’ll join Urban to make up the talent show’s first panel consisting solely of singers — a la NBC’s successful 2011 upstart The Voice. Pop star and actress Lopez will be back on American Idol after a two-season run as judge in 2011 and 2012 that was a boon for the show and her career. Connick, a respected jazz singer and musician, proved adept as a mentor in several Idol appearances. Urban’s return to the contest was announced last month by Fox Chairman Kevin Reilly, who said the singer didn’t get a chance to show his personality in his first turn as a judge. Urban appeared overwhelmed last season by the Carey-Minaj crossfire that drew complaints from some viewers. “I think this season of Idol is gonna be a blast,” Urban said in a statement

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — American Idol is betting that a judges’ remix with Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban will fare better with viewers than bickering divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj did last season. The rumoured addition of Lopez and Connick as judges for season 13 was announced this week by Fox.

Tuesday. “New team, new energy and a whole new field of artists to be discovered and given a chance!” Fox also announced that original judge Randy Jackson, who exited along with Carey and Minaj at the end of last season, will be back in a new role as in-house mentor to the contestants. Ryan Seacrest, also part of Idol from the start, will again host. “Surprise, surprise! I am so happy to be back as part of this amazing show that started it all,” said Jackson. “The original talent show is back with a vengeance and ready to discover the best talent in America.” Record executive Jimmy Iovine had served as mentor in recent seasons. Fox said that Universal Music Group’s Interscope Records, under Iovine’s direction as chairman, will continue to

Grain is passed to a hopper cart from a combine working the land just south of the Pine Hill Hutterite Colony southwest of Red Deer Tuesday. With recent warm, dry weather in the region harvesting is well underway.

Warm weather speeds harvest CONTINUED WARM, DRY WEATHER HASTENS THE RIPENING OF CROPS BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Combine sightings are on the rise in Central Alberta, as continued warm, dry weather hastens the ripening of crops. A report issued by Agriculture Financial Services Corp. (AFSC) last week estimated that 11 per cent of Central Alberta’s crops had been swathed and four per cent combined. Harry Brook, an Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development crop specialist at the department’s Ag-Info Centre in Stettler, said Wednesday that the figure for swathing could now be as high as 30 per cent. Combining, he added, has yet to really get underway in this region. “Around Stettler there’s only about one field I’m aware of that’s been harvested.” Many of those swathing are doing so to hasten the drying

Auto sales hit record pace in August BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canadian auto sales hit a record pace last month as they jumped 6.5 per cent compared with last year, according to data compiled by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants. Total light vehicle sales amounted to 159,004 for the month, up from 149,301 and besting the previous record for August of 158,400 set in 2007. “Building on strong sales over the year’s first seven months, Canadian consumers drove the light vehicle market to its best August result ever,” DesRosiers said in a report. The record came as car sales jumped 7.2 per cent from a year ago to 70,836, while light truck sales climbed 5.9 per cent to 88,168. For the year to date, sales totalled 1.2 million, up from 1.16 million at the same point last year.

Red Deer home sales moving ahead of 2012 pace Home sales in Red Deer continue to track ahead of last year’s pace, with the gap widening in August. The Central Alberta Realtors Association reported that 165 residential sales in Red Deer were processed through the Multiple Listing Service last month, up 28 per cent from 129 in the same month of 2012. This boosted the city’s count for 2013 to 1,310, which is an eight per cent improvement over the 1,216 deals during the same eight-month period last year. This June and July, MLS sales in Red Deer numbered 185 and 168 respectively. Elsewhere in the area covered by the association, there were 242 MLS sales during August. That marked a two per cent decline from the 247 for the same period of 2012. Year-to-date residential sales in the region around Red Deer were 1,782 as of Aug. 31, down two per cent from 1,825 to the same point last year. MLS sales for the same area in June 2013 were 268, and in July 2013 were 284. The average resale price in Red Deer last month was $322,656, as compared with $336,430 in July and $336,585 in August 2012. For the surrounding region, the August average was $281,570. That was up from $275,998 in July and $275,317 in August 2012. Average prices include homes of various types and from different locations. As a result, they can vary from month to month and not be indicative of market trends. New residential listings in Red Deer numbered 247 last month, as compared with 290 in July and 150 in August 2012. For the outlying area, there were 406 new listings in August, down from 447 in July and 447 last August.

Farmers were forced to postpone cutting, with a resulting decline in quality. That moisture has now disappeared, but with the exception of those planning for fall-seeded crops like winter wheat, this shouldn’t be a concern for farmers, said Brook. “I don’t think you’ll see any draught-related maturity issues. “Our surface moisture is pretty much used up, but the crop is done as well.” Meanwhile, recent hot weather in parts of the United States is expected to diminish soybean production. “That’s definitely supported our canola prices,” said Brook. Cereal crop prices are being pulled down by a big corn crop to the south, but producers here should still earn decent profits thanks to the anticipated high yields. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed slightly higher Wednesday as the Syrian civil war continued to cast a shadow over trading and investors wondered if the U.S. will end up leading a military strike against the country, which is accused of using poison gas against its own civilian population. The S&P/TSX composite index was up 17.31 points to 12,757.81 led by gains in utilities and industrials. The Canadian dollar rose 0.34 of a cent to 95.31 cents US as the Bank of Canada said it was keeping its key rate unchanged at one per cent, where it’s been since September 2010 amid a tough recovery from the 2008 crash. Strong vehicle sales data helped U.S. indexes gain momentum throughout the day while investors weighed President Barack Obama’s effort to win support in Congress for a military strike on Syria. Obama said Tuesday that he’s confident Congress will authorize a military strike. Congress could vote as early as next week, after it returns from summer break. The Dow Jones industrials jumped 96.91 points to 14,930.87. General Motors said its sales rose 15 per cent last month, while Chrysler and Ford each reported 12 per cent gains. Toyota posted the biggest increase as sales rose nearly 23 per cent since August of last year. GM stock jumped 4.9 per cent while Ford gained 3.37 per cent. The Nasdaq gained 36.43 points to 3,649.04 and the S&P 500 index added 13.31 points to 1,653.08. “I think that goes to show you that this market is resilient, which it’s been for awhile — the U.S. market especially,” said Allan Small, senior adviser at DWM Securities. “I think people are looking to put money to work all the time, where a few years ago, it might have been the opposite case — any little thing would result in traders taking their money and running.” Traders also took in some positive data on the health of the U.S. economy during August. The Federal Reserve said in its latest regional survey that the economy expanded at a modest to moderate pace in August.

The beaten-down utilities sector led advancers, up 1.43 per cent with Capital Power (TSX:CPX) ahead 45 cents to $20.90. The component, along with other interest rate sensitive sectors, has been hit hard ever since Fed chairman Ben Bernanke first mentioned the possibility of Fed tapering back in May, which has had the effect of pushing bond yields higher.

Commodity prices headed lower but the metals and mining sector was slightly higher as December copper fell six cents to US$3.24 a pound, erasing most of Tuesday’s gain that followed strong manufacturing data from China and the U.S. The telecom sector was the leading decliner, down 0.57 per cent, giving back some of the four per cent surge registered Tuesday after U.S. telecom giant Verizon agreed to buy out the remaining stake in its mobile phone business from Vodafone in a massive, US$130-billion deal. At the same time, Verizon made it clear it wasn’t interested in entering the Canadian wireless market. Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B) slipped 71 cents or 1.59 per cent to $43.88 after running up seven per cent on Tuesday. October crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell $1.31 to US$107.23 and the energy sector was off 0.2 per cent.

Financially-struggling wireless carrier Mobilicity said Wednesday it remains on the sale block, and has no plans to transfer its cellphone customers to rival Wind Mobile. “The report that we are transferring our subscriber base to Wind is not true,” said Mobilicity’s chief restructuring officer Bill Aziz in a statement. The National Post reported that unidentified industry sources say Mobilicity was going to shut down its money-losing operations by the end of September and that Toronto-based Wind Mobile would assume its 200,000 customers for little-to-no financial compensation. The small wireless carrier has been seeking a buyer, or go into debt restructuring, since last spring after Ottawa blocked Telus from purchasing it in a $380-million deal. Earlier this week, U.S. telecom Verizon, which had been rumoured to be interested in Mobilicity, said it was not moving into Canada. Wind Mobile chairman and CEO Anthony Lacavera wouldn’t comment, but said he’s still interested in buying Mobilicity. “New entrants clearly need to find a way to work together and we maintain our interest in a dialogue with Mobilicity about how we can most effectively combine,” Lacavera said.

Both Mobilicity and Wind Mobile bought spectrum — radio waves needed to make cellphone networks operate — in 2008 in an auction designed to bring new players to a market dominated by Rogers (TSX:RCI.B), Telus (TSX:T) and Bell (TSX:BCE). Wind Mobile launched in December 2009 and Mobilicity about six months later.

OTTAWA SAYS IT’S IMPROVING OIL TANKER SAFETY for Canadians and safe for the environment.” At a news conference in Victoria, May said the federal documents reveal Ottawa is undertaking environmental initiatives that should have been originally conducted by Enbridge. She said the Harper government is spending at least $78 million on marine spill studies specifically connected to bitumen, the molasses-like crude that will be shipped in the pipeline between Alberta and British Columbia. May also said the documents reveal Ottawa is spending $42 million to study ways to improve weather forecasting in the northern B.C. coastal regions that will be used by oil tankers if the project is approved by the federal Joint Review Panel. The proposed Northern Gateway project would see a 1,200-kilometre pipeline carrying 550,000 barrels of heavy oil a day from Bruderheim, near Edmonton, to a tanker port in Kitimat, on the north coast of B.C., for shipment to the lucrative markets of Asia. A twin line would carry condensate, for diluting heavy bitumen, east to Alberta. The development would allow landlocked Alberta to expand its customer base beyond the United States, where the industry argues it is forced to sell oil for up to $8 less per barrel because it has no competing buyers.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Federal Green party Leader Elizabeth May says Ottawa is using Canadian taxpayers money to subsidize oil pipeline environmental studies that should have been fully explored by Enbridge (TSX:ENB), the Calgary-based company proposing to build the $6-billion Northern Gateway oil project. But the federal government said Wednesday the $120 million earmarked to conduct oil tanker safety studies on Canada’s coastlines was announced last March in Vancouver by Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver against a backdrop of tankers and shipping vessels in Burrard Inlet. May claimed leaked federal documents reveal the federal government has embarked on two major studies worth at least $120 million that are “greasing the wheels for Enbridge,” but Oliver issued a statement Wednesday saying he had nothing to hide. “Work on tanker safety is critical to ensure we have world-class marine safety on Canada’s coastlines,” said Oliver’s statement. “While the Green party and the New Democratic Party oppose resource development projects before the science is in, our government will not make decisions until an independent, scientific review determines they are safe

NYLIN Hazel Ione 1942 - 2013 We are saddened to announce the passing of H a z e l N y l i n o n Tu e s d a y, September 3, 2013 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. She will be profoundly missed by those she leaves to mourn, husband Wayne, sons Michael (Pearl) and Kevin, of Red Deer, sister Coralynn (Ken) Teichrib of Ti l s t o n , M a n i t o b a , a n d numerous nieces and nephews. Hazel was born in Melita, Manitoba, September 7, 1942, to her parents, Walter and Eleanor Bateman. Hazel attended Tilston School, and then following graduation from Reston High School, was employed in the offices of Manitoba Department of Highways in Winnipeg. She and Wayne were married in 1962; Michael was born in 1964, Kevin in 1966. The family moved to Alberta in 1978, lived in Oyen, Sylvan Lake, and since 1987 in Red Deer. Following her attendance at the Red Deer College Secretarial Course she was employed by Alberta Government OH & S and later AB Labour from 1980 until 1996. One of Hazel’s passions was sewing and after early retirement from the government, she first worked at Cotton Threads Quilt Shoppe and then purchased it in 1999, which she owned until she sold it in 2007. In a 2003 surgery Hazel was diagnosed with ovarian cancer which involved further surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, most of which occurred at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary, and throughout, she continued to cope with her illness, while keeping up with her love of the store, the staff, customers, the entire ‘quilting scene’, travelling to quilt shows around Alberta, and further afield to Quilt Markets in Houston, Pittsburg, and Minneapolis. A year ago, Hazel’s illness returned with kidney failure and dialysis three times a week as added features. Friends have said that they look to Hazel as an example of how to deal with serious illness. The family wishes to thank the medical staff of Unit 31, the Dialysis Unit staff, Dr. Jim and Dr. Lee at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre for their compassion and care in attending to Hazel’s needs.The family invites friends to attend her Funeral Service at Parkland Funeral Home, 6287 - 67A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer on Friday, September 6, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary, the Kidney Foundation or to a charity of their choice.

After retiring from active farming, Irene and her husband spent their winters in Moose Jaw, returning to her beloved farmhouse retreat each summer. She filled the winter months with her hobbies of writing, poetry, and photography. After her husband passed away in 2012, Irene moved t o R e d D e e r, A B , t o b e near her children.
