When the clerk placed money on the counter, the male suspect fired the shotgun, hitting the clerk in the hand and face. Police said the clerk was taken by fire-medics to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre before being transferred to Calgary.

Tom McMillan, director of corporate communications for Parkland Fuel Corp., which operates Fas Gas, said, “Our hearts and our sympathy go out to the victim and the family.”’

“It is a terribly tragic and senseless incident and we’re doing our best to co-operate with authorities,” McMillan said.

Calling all heroes UNITED WAY SETS $2.25-MILLION TARGET

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Although the goal is lofty, the United Way of Central Alberta thinks it’s $2.25-million fundraising target is attainable.

Kicking off its 2013 campaign at the Red Deer Sheraton on Thursday, the United Way announced the goal at the annual luncheon. Organizers launched the idea that everyone can be a superhero in their community if they contribute to the United Way. Last year, the organization surpassed its goal of raising $1.95 million when, by Jan. 17, it had raised $2.115 million.

“We were fortunate enough last year to get to it,” said Buck Buchanan, United Way volunteer campaign co-chair. “The number doesn’t stop when we get there. We make it $2.25 million, but we need $5.25 million, there is never enough.”

Several people who have had to use services provided by agencies supported by the United Way spoke to a packed room. Carla Schneider was one

of them. A former delivery driver for an automotive paint supplier, she was on a delivery when she was hit by a speeding vehicle as she was making a left hand turn.

Schneider suffered brain and spinal trauma. Seven years later, she found support from two United Way-funded Agencies: the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Last year, 108,836 people were assisted by programs and services supported by the local United Way. About one in three Central Albertans receive help from the United Way every year.

Over the next four months the United Way will be in fundraising overdrive trying to reach its goal.

More than $219,000 has already been raised as part of its annual Jumpstart program.

“People need to realize that although the United Way has been around for almost 50 years, we still need everyone’s help to make this campaign a success and to help everyone who needs assistance,” said Buchanan.

Group urging voters to ask candidates about HPV vaccine ban

BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF A newly-formed group of doctors and health scientists is trying to make an election issue out of the absence of an HPV vaccination program for students in local Catholic schools, but it is unclear if Catholic school board voters themselves are interested.

HPV Canada, primarily made up of health scientists at the University of Calgary, sent letters to Red Deer Catholic Regional School Division board trustees in June, calling for the board to revisit its 2008 decision to not allow the human papillomavirus vaccine to be offered to students in its division before the board’s summer recess. That did not hap-

pen, and now the group is asking voters to question candidates about the HPV vaccine ban in advance of Oct. 21 elections.

“Parents are entitled to have publicly-funded vaccines available to their children in publicly-funded schools. The most just, effective, and efficient method to deliver vaccines is in school,” said Juliet Guichon, assistant professor of community health sciences at the U of C. The group succeeded in getting the Calgary Catholic School District board to overturn its ban one year ago, despite vigorous opposition from the local bishop and an initial reluctance from the board. After being pressured, the board opted to consult parent councils at its schools, and the overwhelming sentiment was in favour of the vaccines’ availability.

HPV Canada has also succeeded in getting Catholic boards in Grande Prairie and Yellowknife to allow the vaccines into their schools this year.

A local debate on the issue during the campaign would be welcomed by Red Deer Catholic board chair Adriana Lagrange. But she said it does not appear that parents are concerned by its absence locally.

“We have not received any parental concerns to date since the decision was made many years ago.

But that’s not to say that it may not come up as a question in this election, and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss it,” she said.

Committee weighing merits of lobbyist

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Three Central Alberta municipalities are considering hiring someone to bend the ear of the provincial government about the need for a new hospital to replace one that is old and beyond its capacity.

But since the call went out last month for lobbying services, representatives from the Rocky Mountain House, Caroline, Clearwater County Hospital Committee say the chance of it going ahead is unlikely.

Rocky Mayor Fred Nash said they wanted to explore what a consultant or lobbyist could do in the same vein as the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) and the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties (AAMDC).

“We are just putting pressure on the provincial government,” said Nash. “We work well with them and our MLA (Wildrose’s Joe Anglin, Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre). “They know what our issue is. We are still looking for results and we are still entertaining all avenues.”

Within the next two weeks, the committee will debate the merits of hiring a lobbyist before deciding its next move. Nash said he doesn’t think it will go ahead because they already have the attention of the government.

“We’ll put everything on the table and make our best choice,” said Nash. “With the good relationship with the provincial government, I am not so sure it is necessary to hire one. Majority rules.”

Clearwater County Reeve Pat Alexander agreed it is unlikely they will hire someone. The three municipalities would likely share the cost of hiring a consultant. They have received a handful of applications.

Province asks Ottawa for $500M advance payment pay flood costs EDMONTON — The Alberta government has asked Ottawa for half a billion dollars to help with flood costs.

Municipal Affairs Doug Griffiths put in the request for an advance payment and says he hopes to attempted to drill a hole into the skylight but was unsuccessful in gaining entry into his store.

The problem, he said, is the proximity to the river.

People can escape quickly into the trees around the river and evade capture after committing an offence.

Police describe the suspect as a Caucasian male, about 1.8 metres (six feet tall), medium build, wearing eye glasses during the incident. He was clean shaven but does have sideburns.

He has a tattoo on his right shoulder of what appears to be a maple leaf or a crown. He was wearing a dark navy blue basketball-style jersey with dark pants or jeans and dark footwear, and a black baseball cap.

The suspect was last seen fleeing westbound on Cronquist Drive on a bicycle.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

The Leadership Matching Challenge moves ahead for its second year with a total of $28,500 available to match donations of $1,000 or more. Any existing United Way donors who want to increase their donation to $1,000 or more will also have their donations matched. The money in the Leadership Matching Challenge fund has been donated by several local businesses and individuals.

VACCINE: Prevents cervical cancer, genital warts In 2008, Alberta became the last province to

get it before the end of the year.

Raging waters on June 20 swamped downtown Calgary and its low-lying neighbourhoods and inundated many surrounding communities.

The town of High River was devastated and thousands of residents are still out of their homes.

The Alberta government also gave $27 million last week to six communities that were damaged by flooding. make HPV vaccines available to girls in Grade 5.

That year, Red Deer Catholic initially voted to offer the vaccine in its schools, but one month later voted unanimously against doing so after a number of Catholic bishops in the province raised concerns that delivery of the vaccine could promote promiscuity among girls.

HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause a number of cancers, the most common being cervical cancer. The vaccination can help prevent up to 70 per cent of viral infections that lead to cervical cancer and up to 90 per cent of those that cause genital warts.

Red Deer Catholic is one of eight Catholic boards in Alberta — including St. Thomas Aquinas School District, which serves Lacombe, Ponoka, and Wetaskiwin — that does not allow the vaccine in its schools.

But it does provide information on where vaccinations can be had to any parents seeking it for their children.

Guichon, who herself is Catholic, said board trustees need to alter their typical decision making process of needing parental concern before acting on an issue in this case.

“They’re using this same decision making process and the ramifications could be quite significant if they don’t listen to medical professionals who are telling them ‘Please, the best way to give vaccination is in the schools. Please just let us get it done,’” she said.

Delivery of the vaccine to minors requires parental consent, so Guichon said it is not a matter of forcing the vaccine on parents and their children. But, she said, if the vaccine is not offered in schools, the rates of children who get the vaccine are very low and those of high socioeconomic status benefit more because of the time and travel needed to then obtain the vaccines.

“If access is blocked, poor children are not likely to get vaccination if it’s offered only in public health clinics. But if it’s offered in school, they get it at very high rates . . . So blocked vaccine access in school is an issue of social justice,” said Guichon.

Lagrange did not comment on her own personal thoughts on the issue, and said that she expects voters will be most focused on space concerns relating to increasing enrolments come election time.

Because of the vaccination issue in other divisions, however, Red Deer Catholic has commissioned the formation of a draft policy regarding all vaccines that is expected to be presented to the board at its next meeting on Oct. 8. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

ALBERTA Court hears mom told family about killing kids EDMONTON — Nerlin Sarmiento told her family she had dark thoughts about killing her two children.

The 32-year-old had been in and out of hospital and was on medication for depression and possible bipolar disorder. So, in late 2012, her mother started spending nights at the family’s Edmonton apartment to help look after the kids. Sarmiento’s husband thought they would be safe.

But on Feb. 12, after her husband and mother left for work, Sarmiento sent her 10-year-old daughter off to school and started filling the bathtub with water.

Seven-year-old Omar Jajoy had been sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast and finishing his homework.

Court documents show his mother shoved him into the bathroom, pushed him into the tub, got into the water herself and held his small head down while he thrashed in the water.

After he stopped moving, she called 911.

A court hearing began Thursday to determine if Sarmiento should be held not criminally responsible for the crime.

The woman admits in court documents that she killed her son but she has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder. Her defence lawyer, Peter Royal, plans to call medical evidence showing she was suffering from a mental illness at the time.

In a videotaped interview with police after the drowning, Sarmiento said she knew that killing her son was wrong and she must pay for what she had done.

She said she had wanted to drown both her children that day. But her daughter was too big.

Sarmiento described how the family moved to Canada from Colombia in 2007. She found it lonely and difficult to learn English. For two years before the drowning, she saw a doctor and was taking monthly injections so she could feel better. Her medication changed several times.

“I have been sick, my mind plays with me,” she

told police. “Sometimes I imagine things.”

Sarmiento spoke about how she was worried about the family’s finances and the kids always needed new clothes, shoes and socks. The morning of the killing, she heard her daughter say they were “hobos.”

“Is it worse to be dead or is it worse to be poor?” asked a police officer.

“I think it’s worse to be alive,” Sarmiento replied.

She said she tried to hang herself the day before she drowned her son. She had planned to try again after he died in the tub but said she mistakenly dialled 911 too soon.

Sarmiento’s husband, Florentino Jajoy, wasn’t in court for the hearing. But he earlier told reporters his wife wasn’t to blame for his son’s death. The medical care she had been getting was obviously “wrong,” he said, and the health system failed her.

It’s not clear what Sarmiento disclosed to her doctor. She told police she had thoughts of stabbing the children and smothering them with a pillow. She once fantasized about throwing them over a thirdfloor railing at a downtown shopping centre.

Court documents show that after she told her mother, Maria Cristano, about the deadly thoughts bouncing around her head, the older woman questioned her. Sarmiento told her that her doctor knew about it.

When she told her husband, he threatened to call police and a crisis team. But, after she got some sleep, she reassured him that everything was OK and she wouldn’t harm the children.

But at some point in 2012, Sarmiento took her daughter into a bedroom and locked the door. She put the girl on a bed and started choking her around the neck.

“She said it was a game,” the girl told police in another videotaped interview. “I’m like, ‘That’s not a game Mommy.’ And I started crying . . . I’m like, ‘Mommy, please get off me!’ And she got off me and she said, ‘I’m sorry.”’

The girl said her mother asked her not to tell anyone or she would have to go back to the hospital.

BRIEF Auditor general to probe oil pipeline safety, rule enforcement EDMONTON — Alberta’s auditor general is going to take a deeper look at the safety of oil and natural gas pipelines in the province.

Merwan Saher in a letter to the Opposition Wildrose party says his audit will include how well companies are following government pipeline regulations.

He says it will also include how pipelines are inspected and how the regulations are being enforced.

Last month more than 50 public interest groups called for such an investigation after a government-commissioned report said Alberta has favourable pipeline rules.

Opposition parties and environmental groups said that review was too narrow because it did not look into the effectiveness of enforcement or at what caused specific spills.

Nenshi wants answers from Canadian Pacific about derailment

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Calgary’s mayor is again demanding answers from Canadian Pacific Railway after eight rail cars full of oil chemicals derailed at a train yard in the city, forcing the closure of major road and the evacuation of some homes.

Six of the cars, which were carrying a diluting agent used in oil pipelines, flipped over during rush hour Wednesday. Residents in some homes in the immediate area were told to leave, but no one was hurt and none of the cars leaked.

The derailment comes less than three months after a bridge over the swollen Bow River gave way underneath a CP train (TSX:CP) while the city was trying to recover from severe flooding.

Mayor Naheed Nenshi said “two derailments is two too many.”

Nenshi was one of the Calgarians trapped in traffic during Wednesday’s derailment.

“That is not only massively inconvenient for people, it’s also massively dangerous as we have thousands and thousands of people going through this area,” Nenshi said Thursday.

“Once again it was city staff, who have no regulatory authority on this, risking their lives to solve the problem and we can’t solve the problem if we’re not given correct, accurate information at the beginning.

“It again highlights what municipal politicians have been saying for a very long time, which is we need better regulations on the movement of trains through cities and particularly the time of those movements.”

Nenshi was furious when the derailment happened during the flood recovery, questioning whether the company had laid off any of its bridge inspectors.

The tank cars involved then were also carrying a petroleum dilutant. They were unloaded and removed without going into the river.

Engineers blamed the failure of the bridge on fast water scouring away gravel under a support. provincial government eliminate five senior Alberta Health Services executive positions.

The shake up follows a review, headed by Davidson, that found the system is top-heavy with managers and should focus more on supporting health-care providers.

Horne says Cowell’s duties will include implementing the recommendations from the review, as well as completing an ongoing review of AHS executive salaries.

One person killed in fiery car-truck crash on highway BOYLE — A collision between a semi and a car on a northern Alberta road dubbed the Highway of Death has left one person dead.

The overnight crash happened on Highway 63, about 45 kilometres north of Boyle.

Alexander said hiring a lobbyist is just one option the committee is considering at this time.

“It’s an ongoing thing,” said Alexander.

“It’s to carry the message to different departments within the province government dealing with a new hospital. Whether we go ahead with it, I am not sure. We have put requests for proposals and have had some discussion about it.”

Alexander said the existing Rocky Mountain House Health Centre is often at or beyond capacity and has structure issues.

Nash said he knows this spring’s flood in Southern Alberta takes precedence over a lot of things in the province but the need for a new hospital remains high.

He said a bright spot is the 40-new supportive living spaces that were announced for Rocky Mountain House in June.

They will take off some of the pressure of the hospital when they are ready in a couple years. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Ignoring public trust THE RISKS AND THE COSTS OF DOING BUSINESS RISE PRECIPITOUSLY

BY ROBERT MCGARVEY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE What do the Keystone XL Pipeline and U.S. President Barack Obama’s proposal to bomb Syria have in common? They are both establishment initiatives struggling vainly against a precipitous loss in public trust.

In the case of Obama, he’s bleeding public trust from multiple wounds, most recently the embarrassing revelations about illegal NSA eavesdropping that have undermined his credibility.

But that’s only the most recent disappointment; Obama’s credibility has been sinking for a while now. His mantra, change-we-can-believe-in, was probably intended to mean something different to everyone, but it certainly strongly implied that the United States would start to behave lawfully; at a minimum, closing the prisoner of war camp at Guantanamo Bay and fixing the out-of-control banking system while providing more support for the middle class and the poor.

As far as public trust is concerned, it’s three strikes you’re out, Obama.

But the Republicans also bear some responsibility for the loss of public trust. After all, it was the Republican administration of George W. Bush that misled the public on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in 2003. Then secretary of state Colin Powell addressed the UN Security Council and declared: “there can be no doubt that Saddam Hussein has biological weapons and the capability to rapidly produce more, many more.”

Of course we all know he was wrong: the maps, dossiers and reports he presented were mistaken or probably just cobbled together for the purpose.

It’s little wonder that people doubt current secretary of state John Kerry when he claims to have irrefutable evidence of chemical weapon abuses in Syria. Naturally, he can’t make the evidence public, it’s top secret: he asks instead for the public’s trust but it simply isn’t there.

But Obama is not the only leader

suffering from trust issues. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s favourite economic development initiative, the Keystone XL pipeline, is encountering official delays, stiffening local resistance and bad press.

The growing public mistrust over the XL pipeline is startling, given the fact that there is a vast network of pipelines in North America already.

If we confine ourselves simply to oil pipelines, there are approximately 50,000 to 65,000 km of relatively small gathering lines, and approximately 88,000 km of the larger trunk lines.

Nevertheless, last year a group of scientists wrote to Obama linking Keystone to imminent environmental catastrophe and the oilsands to runaway global warming, melting arctic ice and the end of civilization as we know it.

There was a time — not so long ago — when business had considerable trust equity with the public. In those distant days, industry scientists and the technical reports they produced were considered to be models of ratio-

nal common sense.

How the world has changed. According to the 2012 Edelman Trust Survey, Energy Industry trust metrics have fallen radically in the past year from 76 per cent to 29 per cent for informed adults, down 46 percentage points. As a result there has been a major loss of trust in the oil business and the scientific community they employ.

This erosion of trust is undermining businesses’s Licence to Lead, increasing commercial friction, seriously complicating project approvals and increasing the costs of doing business.

The philosopher Annette Baier once wrote that trust is like clean air: “We notice it only when it is scarce or polluted.” Trust is a two-way street: an individual, company or government is trusted when there is an alignment of values with the public(s) and a belief that the organization can be relied upon to voluntarily do the ‘right’ thing.

To be trustworthy is to be ethical.

According to Graham Dietz, senior lecturer in Human Resource Manage-

ment at Durham University in the U.K., trustworthiness is founded on a robust ethical culture, supported by leaders, and guided by systems and policies that are designed to nurture strong internal and external trust relationships.

If the fiasco of Richard Nixon has taught us anything, it is that taking the public for granted is suicidal; ethical behaviour is essential. It may be a bit simplistic to say that “trust is the coin of the realm,” but in its absence the wheels fall off the machinery of governing. The risk is very real. If the wheels can fall off the president of the United States, they can fall off business. As public trust diminishes the risk and the costs of doing business are rising precipitously. Beware — business as usual could be fatal.

The long and short of a very bad idea WHY WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW SKATEBOARDS ON CITY STREETS

BY JON PEIRCE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE About a month ago, I heard (though I didn’t see) a skateboard-car collision outside my apartment in Dartmouth, N.S. It wasn’t pretty.

There was a horrific squealing of brakes and honking of horns.

Within a few minutes, a youthful skateboarder was being loaded onto a stretcher to be carried to an ambulance. The elderly car driver, meanwhile, was being led to a patrol car for questioning.

Since I didn’t see the accident, I have no idea who was to blame. What I do know is that if the Longboard Halifax Society, representing the city’s skateboarders, has its way, and its petition to allow skateboarders on city streets on the same terms as bicycles is approved, such accidents and indeed more serious ones are likely to become considerably more frequent.

The carnage from skateboard accidents is already quite fearsome. In a report on skateboarding, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons cites data from the American Academy of Pediatrics showing that in 2001, skateboarding resulted in about 50,000 visits to hospital emergency rooms in the U.S., and 1,500 hospitalizations of children and adolescents, the majority involving head injuries.

Regrettably, some skateboard accidents lead to loss of life. Journalist Teresa Waters, writing in

Who really has the right of way?

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9

by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director

the Skaters for Public Skateparks newsletter (Jan. 30, 2012), notes that in 2011, some 42 Americans died while skateboarding. Of those accidents, nearly three-quarters (30) involved a collision with a vehicle. All of those 30 died while skateboarding in a public street or bike lane.

Among recent skateboard fatalities was Hawaii teen Alan Danielson, who was killed riding his board (without a helmet) while holding on to the back of a truck driven by a friend. To say the least, Danielson’s death does little to support the argument, made by many in the skateboarding community, that skateboarders possess the necessary judgment to share public roadways with cars, trucks and buses.

Despite such clear evidence that skateboarding on public streets is more dangerous than skateboarding in dedicated locations such as skateparks, some cities have already yielded to pressure from the skateboarding community and now allow skateboards on their streets. One such city is Portland, Ore., where a city ordinance allows skateboarders on streets but, at least in the downtown core, not on sidewalks.

Portland’s ordinance also requires skateboarders under 16 to wear helmets and those skating after sunset to wear a reflector or front and back lights.

Here in Canada, Vancouver’s skateboarders are allowed to ply their trade on city streets so long as they use caution.

There isn’t space here to list all the arguments against allowing skateboards on public streets. But here are a few of the most salient ones.

First, it’s difficult for drivers to see skateboarders even in the daytime, let alone at night when many insist on operating.

Second, skateboards are enough slower than cars or even bikes to constitute a serious interruption to normal urban traffic flows. With a maximum top speed of about 25 km/h, as noted by the Longboard

Society in its petition, skateboards could cause major traffic snarls, some of which might well induce road rage in frustrated drivers, if allowed onto public roadways.

It’s also worth noting that it’s hard to stop a skateboard quickly, a fact that could have catastrophic consequences should skateboarders be riding in heavy urban traffic and thus be forced to make sudden stops.

Finally, there’s the matter of judgment noted earlier. Many skateboarders are as young as 10 or 11. From the way these kids bob around on the sidewalks, apparently expecting other people to look out for them, it’s obvious that they lack the judgment to be on busy streets in company with cars, trucks, and buses.

Instituting a minimum age of at least 16 for skateboarding on the street might help a little. But there would still be problems.

First, would such a minimum be enforceable, in practice? The jury is still out on that one.

Second, even many boarders over 16 would appear to lack the necessary judgment to be out on the open road. Alan Danielson, the Hawaii teen referred to earlier, was 18 when killed. The list of fatalities provided by Teresa Waters includes boarders in their 20s and even their early 30s, as well as a large number of teens.

To think that skateboards can coexist with cars, trucks, buses and bicycles on already seriously overcrowded city streets is naive to the point of lunacy.

While governments all across Canada (not just in Nova Scotia) are facing growing pressure from the skateboard lobby, they need to turn down this seriously deluded idea — for everyone’s sake.

explains the rules in Chapter 4, starting on Page 56.

Under the heading Three and four away stops, it says “Courtesy is to allow the vehicle that arrives first to proceed first.”

Commonly referred to as the Golden Rule, it can reasonably be applied at intersections with two-stop signs, yield signs or no controls (uncontrolled), as

well as many other situations in the highway system.

A simple way to communicate your intentions to give another driver the “Right to go” first is to make eye contact and flash your bright lights once.

Toronto cop guilty of assault with a weapon during G20 summit

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Bloc Quebecois MP Maria Mourani is shown at a news conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, on February 16, 2011. The Bloc Quebecois is expelling Mourani from caucus for her criticism of Quebec’s proposed charter of values.

Bloc boots MP for charter criticism

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Bloc Quebecois expelled one of its five caucus members on Thursday after she ripped into Quebec’s proposed charter of values and said it would hurt the sovereigntist cause.

The decision to kick out Maria Mourani came a day after she warned the charter would “create systemic discrimination . . . especially against women” and that it was a “very bad move for Quebec independence.”

She said the independence movement has spent years courting minority groups and that the Parti Quebecois government’s proposal risks undoing all that work.

Mourani, who was born in Ivory Coast and is of Lebanese origin, was also one of several sovereigntists to sign a declaration that said the charter would “stigmatize and exclude certain communities and especially some women.”

The PQ plan would forbid Quebec’s public employees from wearing more visible religious symbols — including hijabs, turbans, yarmulkes and largerthan-average crucifixes.

In commenting his decision to expel the 44-year-old Mourani, Bloc Leader Daniel Paille said her comments in no way whatsoever reflect the party’s position on the controversial charter.

“The charter of Quebec values, far from being an election-driven manoeuvre, a serious strategic error on the part of the sovereigntist movement or, worse, a display of ethnic nationalism, is actually a necessary and fundamen-

tal step for the Quebec nation,” Paille said in a statement.

Paille said the four other members of the Bloc caucus agreed with the decision to part company with Mourani.

Mourani did, however, receive support Thursday from politicians of radically different stripes.

Francoise David, a member of the legislature for the left-wing sovereigntist Quebec solidaire, slammed the expulsion.

“It’s as though they’re saying, ‘There’s a dissident voice, a voice that is issuing some warnings against certain aspects of the charter and there’s a sovereigntist party that wants to silence this voice,’” David said in Quebec City.

“It sends the wrong message . . . and it shouldn’t happen like that.”

At the other end of the political spectrum, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau took to Twitter to congratulate Mourani for her stance.

“Bravo to Maria Mourani for standing up to this divisive proposal,” tweeted Trudeau, whose Papineau riding abuts Mourani’s Ahuntsic riding.

“Mme Marois has seriously underestimated Quebecers’ respect for each other.”

Quebec Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard also chipped in on Mourani’s dismissal, accusing sovereigntists of extreme rigidity and “absolutism.”

“People are talking about fundamentalism these days,” he said. “There seems to be another kind that is taking root within the sovereigntist movement. A kind of clerical atmosphere.

“Mme Mourani has been excommunicated and I suppose it will be the same thing for the next heretics.”

TORONTO — The criminal conviction of a Toronto police officer for assaulting a protester during the G20 summit three years ago was hailed as a victory for the hundreds of demonstrators who were rounded up and arrested that weekend.

Const. Babak Andalib-Goortani was convicted Thursday of assault with a weapon after a judge found he used excessive force during the arrest of protester Adam Nobody on June 26, 2010, on the lawn of the Ont a r i o l e g i s l a - Adam Nobody ture.

AndalibGoortani didn’t need to forcefully jab Nobody with his baton several times as his fellow officers were trying to cuff the man, Ontario Superior Court Judge Louise Botham found.

“A police officer is not entitled to use unlimited force to affect an arrest,” she said.

Video footage of Nobody’s arrest shows him on the ground with officers piled on top of him. Moments before Andalib-Goortani delivers his second set of blows, another officer can be seen kneeing Nobody in the face, Botham said.

“I accept that in a dynamic situation, arrests need to occur quickly and officers may well need to use force to ensure that happens . . . (but) even on the defendant’s evidence the resistance offered by Adam Nobody was minimal,” Botham said. “(Andalib-Goortani’s) explanation that he was responding to Adam Nobody’s resistance is nothing more than an after the fact attempt to justify his blows.”

Nobody clapped as the verdict was announced, but said later that though he was pleased, he was surprised, as

Crown files appeal in RCMP officer’s acquittal in Taser perjury case VANCOUVER — The Crown has filed an appeal in a case that saw an RCMP officer acquitted of perjury charges for his testimony at the Robert Dziekanski inquiry.

Const. Bill Bentley was among four officers who confronted Dziekanski at Vancouver’s airport in October 2007, when the Polish immigrant was repeatedly stunned with a Taser and died.

All four officers were charged with perjury for their testimony at a subsequent public inquiry, where they were asked to explain discrepancies between what they told investigators and what could be seen on an amateur video that emerged later.

The Crown argued at Bentley’s trial that similarities between all four officers’ notes and statements was evidence they colluded on a fabricated story and then lied at the public inquiry to cover up that collusion.

But the judge found Bentley not guilty after concluding there were other, innocent explanations for the discrepancies, while also questioning whether some of the alleged errors were even incorrect in the first place.

The special prosecutor in the case, Richard Peck, has filed a notice of appeal, arguing the trial judge failed to consider all of the evidence and failed to apply the correct legal test when determining whether the Crown proved its case.

TORONTO — Ontario’s health minister defended the province’s hospital practices Thursday saying the system worked when two hospitals in Toronto and Mississauga detected possible errors in reading 3,500 mammograms and CT scans.

Trillium Health Partners announced Wednesday night it had uncovered a “performance issue” with a veteran radiologist concerning diagnostic tests conducted between April 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013, at Mississauga Hospital and Queensway Health Centre.

“I have been assured that affected patients are being properly informed and that their cases are being reviewed as quickly as possible so that follow-up care can be provided,” said Health Minister Deb Matthews.

One woman, Houda Rafle, 28, told Toronto television station CP24 that she was given a clean bill of health after a CT scan in March, only to find out recently that she did indeed have cancer at the time, and it has gotten worse.

“The tumour was present in March, and unfortunately because there For the Sept. 13 Mega Deal flyer, was a six month duration pg 1a & 2a of the insert was accidentally it had now spread to my printed in French. lungs and is now Stage Please go to your nearest Toys“R”Us store 4,” said Rafle.

police are not often found guilty of criminal offences.

“Hopefully this helps vindicate the 1,100 people that were arrested and forced upon that day, including myself,” Nobody said outside court.

“It’s just a great feeling after three years . . . Justice is served and officers, you know, they can’t get away with stuff like this. They can’t attack citizens and it just feels really great right now. I’m elated.”

More than 1,000 people were detained by police that weekend after protesters using so-called Black Bloc tactics broke away from a peaceful rally and ran through the downtown, smashing windows and burning police cruisers.

The vast majority of those detained were released without charge within 24 hours.

Andalib-Goortani was one of two officers to face criminal charges stemming from the arrests, but Const. Glenn Weddell was acquitted.

Assault with a weapon carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, though it’s unlikely Andalib-Goortani would see such a sentence. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Nov. 8. For the moment, Andalib-Goortani is on restricted duties.

Toronto Police Association president Mike McCormack said AndalibGoortani may appeal.

“He’s very distraught and again, very crushed by this decision,” McCormack said.

“We do stand by the system, we’ve always stated that position, but in this case we just feel that the judge came up with the wrong conclusion.”

McCormack called Nobody’s arrest an “isolated incident.”

“I think that our members, our police officers, did a great job overall the day of the G20 and they’re extraordinary circumstances and I still stand by our membership and that every officer’s actions have to be assessed on their individual actions,” he said.

Andalib-Goortani remains on “restricted administrative duties” following his conviction, Const. Victor Kwong, a Toronto police spokesman, said Thursday afternoon.

Kerry looking for quick deal on Syria

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GENEVA — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his team opened two days of meetings with their Russian counterparts on Thursday, hoping to emerge with the outlines of a plan for the complex task of safely securing and destroying vast stockpiles of Syrian chemical weapons in the midst of a brutal and unpredictable conflict.

President Barack Obama, meeting with his Cabinet in Washington, said he was hopeful the talks would produce “a concrete result,” adding that Kerry “is going to be working very hard over the next several days to see what possibilities are there.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin, for his part, held out the effort as “a new opportunity to avoid military action” by the U.S. against Syria.

“The United States, Russia and all members of the international community must take advantage of the Syrian government’s willingness to place its chemical arsenal under international control for subsequent destruction,” Putin wrote in an opinion piece published in the New York Times.

Kerry will be testing the seriousness of the Russian proposal, and looking for rapid agreement on principles for how to proceed with the Russians, including a demand for a speedy Syrian accounting of their stockpiles, according to officials with the secretary of state.

The hastily arranged meetings in

Geneva got under way as Syrian President Bashar Assad, in an interview with Russia’s Rossiya-24 TV, said his government will start submitting data on its chemical weapons stockpile a month after signing the convention banning such weapons. He called it the “standard process.”

And even as diplomacy took centre stage, word surfaced that the CIA has been delivering light machine-guns and other small arms to Syrian rebels for several weeks, following President Barack Obama’s statement in June that he would provide lethal aid to the rebels.

Kerry, accompanied by American chemical weapons experts, met for about 45 minutes with Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN-Arab League envoy for Syria and was later meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Russian technical experts were joining Lavrov in the meetings.

One official said the U.S. hopes to know in a relatively short time if the Russians are trying to stall. Another described the ideas that the Russians have presented so far as an opening position that needs a lot of work and input from technical experts.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov described the focus as largely on “technical issues,” avoiding any expression of suspicion about U.S. intention.

“Undoubtedly, it’s necessary to make sure that Syria joins the convention on prohibition of chemical weapons, which would envisage Syria de-

claring the locations of its chemical weapons depots, its chemical weapons program,” said Lavrov, who spoke at a briefing in Astana, Kazakhstan before heading to Geneva. “On that basis, the experts will determine what specific measures need to be taken to safeguard those depots and arsenals.”

Lavrov added that he and Kerry should also discuss issues related to organizing a peace conference, the socalled Geneva-2. He added that specific preparations for the conference could start now if the West works to persuade the Syrian opposition to join them.

The U.S. is hoping that an acceptable agreement with the Russians on Syria’s chemical weapons can be part of a binding new U.N. Security Council resolution being negotiated that demands that Syria’s chemical weapons be put under international control and be dismantled and condemns the Aug. 21 attack. Russia, however, has long opposed UN action on Syria, vetoed three earlier resolutions, blocked numerous, less severe condemnations and has not indicated it is willing to go along with one now.

As for arming the Syrian rebels, National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said the administration could not “detail every single type of support that we are providing to the opposition or discuss timelines for delivery, but it’s important to note that both the political and the military opposition are and will be receiving this assistance.”

A senior U.S. intelligence official and two former intelligence officials said the CIA has arranged for the Syrian opposition to receive anti-tank weaponry such as rocket-propelled grenades through a third party, presumably one of the Gulf countries that has been arming the rebels. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified program publicly.

The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal first reported the lethal aid.

Loay al-Mikdad, a spokesman for the Free Syrian Army, told The Associated press that they hadn’t received any weapons from the United States although they expect that in the near future.

“We are co-operating with the American administration and have been receiving some logistical and technical assistance and there are commitments by the administration to arm us but until now we have not received any weapons,” al-Mikdad said by telephone.

The officials said the aid has been arriving for more than a month, much of it delivered through a third party.

Putin’s opinion piece in the Times drew a scornful reaction from House Speaker John Boehner, who said he was “insulted” by it without specifying exactly what bothered him. In the article, Putin chided Americans for seeing themselves as “exceptional.” Putin also warned that a U.S. strike against Syria because of chemical weapons use could unleash new terrorist attacks.

Colorado floods cut off towns, leave three dead

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LYONS, Colo. — Heavy rains and scarring from recent wildfires sent walls of water crashing down mountainsides early Thursday in Colorado, cutting off mountain towns, forcing the University of Colorado to cancel classes, and leaving at least three people dead.

Boulder County was hit hardest, with up to 15 centimeters of rain falling over 12 hours. But flooding was reported all along the Front Range, from Colorado Springs to north of Fort Collins.

Capt. John Burt of the Colorado State Patrol said a storm cell moved over the mountains during the night, headed east over the Plains, then circled back around. The National Weather Service warned of an “extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation” throughout the region as the flooding forced people from their homes and caused mud and rockslides in some areas.

“Move to higher ground now. Act quickly to protect your life,” the

Weather Service warned throughout the morning.

Boulder Office of Emergency Management spokeswoman Gabrielle Boerkircher said many roads were blocked and volunteers were trying to help stranded people until emergency crews could arrive.

Boerkircher told The Associated Press one person was killed when a structure collapsed in the tiny town of Jamestown. Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said another person was also found dead in northern Boulder.

“We’re trying to get to Jamestown,” Boerkircher said of a mountain community northwest of Boulder. “A lot of towns need assistance, and we cannot get through.”

Two other structures in the area were also damaged and may have collapsed.

To the south, Colorado Springs spokeswoman Kim Melchor said police conducting flood patrols found a body in Fountain Creek on the west side of the city early Thursday.

National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Kleyla said a six-metre wall of water was reported in Left Hand Canyon north of Boulder.

Dieno back after good tryout with Wild

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

RED DEER REBELS

Two strong games in Traverse City, Mich., could translate into 72 potent games in the Western Hockey League this season.

At least that’s what Rhyse Dieno and the Red Deer Rebels are hoping for.

The Rebels 20-year-old winger suited up with the Minnesota Wild prospects in the Traverse City Tournament last week. As an undrafted and unsigned player, he was strictly there on a look-see, invitational basis and is convinced he did enough to perhaps warrant further interest from the Wild while suiting up for two of four games.

“There were definitely some adjustments on my part, the first Rhyse Dieno couple of shifts especially,” Dieno said Thursday of his first foray into the professional game.

“We played the Detroit Red Wings prospects in my first game and their first two lines were defi-

nitely AHL- to NHL-calibre players, but I felt that I adjusted well and had a good game.

“I knew what I had to do in the second game and I played really well in that one.”

Dieno, who was held pointless and was assessed a hooking penalty in the two outings, got the indication he’s still on the Wild radar when the tournament concluded and he was reassigned to the Rebels.

“They just said that with the opportunity I received I played well and they wanted me to come back here and have a good year and hopefully they would see me again soon,” said Dieno. “All in all, it was a pretty good experience.”

Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter lifted the five-foot-10, 175-pound forward out of the SJHL in mid-November of last year and the Saskatoon native was an instant hit in Red Deer. He went on to post a team-high 59 points (27g,32a) in only 48 games and was an impressive plus-17.

Now he’s looking to scale newer heights.

“After realizing what I could do in the league last year, my expectations for this season are definitely a lot higher,” he said. “I know what it takes to succeed at this level . . . I know the level of play I have to be at

to be successful, so I hope to have a really good year.

“Being in Red Deer for my 20-year-old season will benefit me a lot with all the ice time I’ll get. I’m happy to be back with the Rebels. We have a great coaching staff here. There’s not much more I can ask for.”

Dieno is slated to play on the Rebels’ top line during the 2013-14 Western Hockey League season, alongside Lukas Sutter — once he returns from the Winnipeg Jets camp — and centre Brooks Maxwell.

Sutter will essentially replace graduated captain Turner Elson on the No. 1 unit.

“We played well together during camp and we should be a good line,” said Dieno. “A guy like Sutter brings grit like Turner did last year and he can definitely put the puck in the net when he gets a chance.

Hopefully he’s back soon.”

The Rebels finished fourth in the Eastern Conference last season and reached the second round of the playoffs before being eliminated by the Calgary Hitmen. Dieno expects the club to venture further into the post-season next spring.

“It starts off with your goaltender and having (Patrik) Bartosak back is the key to everything,” he said of the reigning CHL netminder of the year.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — His first game as a Tiger-Cat at McMahon Stadium long passed, Henry Burris feels comfortable wearing enemy colours to a place where he was once the fan favourite.

The 38-year-old was the starting quarterback for the Calgary Stampeders for seven seasons until he was traded to Hamilton on Jan. 2, 2012.

He won a Grey Cup and the CFL’s most outstanding player award and passed for over 40,000 yards while wearing the galloping horse on the front of his jersey.

Burris still keeps a permanent home in Calgary.

His wife and two sons spend the winter in Calgary so the boys can go to school there.

Burris’s name will likely join the Stampeder legends hung high at McMahon in the future, but for now he’s a Tiger-Cat wanting a win over his former club tonight.

“This will always be a special game, to be able to play out on a field that pretty much made me who I am today,” Burris said.

“This is always one of the games where you say you circle it on your calendar, any time we play the Stamps it will always be circled, but I’m not going to make this game bigger than what it actually is. It’s still a game we have to go out and execute.”

Calgary (8-2) shares the West Division lead with Saskatchewan and is coming off a 22-12 victory over Edmonton.

Bo Levi Mitchell, who was Calgary’s third-string quarterback to start this season, will get his second start in a row and third of the season.

The Stamps have won three in a row and are undefeated at home this season at 4-0.

Hamilton (5-5) sits second in the East Division behind Toronto (6-4). The Ticats are winners of four of their last five and outscored their opposition by a combined 48 points in those games.

Burris was named the league’s offensive player of the week after throwing for 375 yards and four touchdowns in a 37-29 win over the B.C. Lions last week.

He needs 217 yards to become the fifth CFL quarterback to reach the 50,000 plateau and join Anthony Calvillo, Damon Allen, Danny McManus and Ron Lancaster in that club.

Burris and the Tiger-Cats seem to be hitting their stride under new head coach Kent Austin.

“Henry’s been great,” said Austin, a former CFL quarterback. “He’s very easy to coach. He cares, which is the biggest part of it right?

“He really wants to be good and wants to do everything he can to help the football team win. He prepares really hard and I’m pretty demanding. He takes hard coaching well. He’s just a great guy and a true pro.”

Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Henry Burris throws a pass over B.C. Lions’ Adam Bighill during first half CFL action in Guelph, Ont., on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013.

“There’s always growing pains when you start a new relationship, right? He’s easy to develop a relationship with because he’s a really good person.”

Burris’s first game at McMahon post-trade Oct. 20, 2012, was a wild one.

With snow falling and field conditions deteriorating, Hamilton botched a 30-goal field-goal attempt on the final play of the game to lose 34-32. Burris completed 24 of 33 passing attempts for two touchdowns in that game. He was intercepted twice and sacked six times.

Calgary’s quarterback situation since Burris’s departure has been interesting to say the least. Burris was dealt to make way for Drew Tate, who was anointed the next No. 1.

Injuries have limited Tate to just five regular-season starts and one in a playoff game. Kevin Glenn, acquired from Hamilton in the deal for Burris, has had most of the starts since Burris was dealt.

But the 34-year-old Glenn has dealt with injuries of his own this season. He’s currently nursing a knee injury.

Tate, who will dress as a backup Friday, has bided his time with a troublesome forearm injury.

So Mitchell, 23, is getting a lot of work and making the most of it with a 2-0 record in two starts. He completed 19 of 26 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown against the Eskimos.

Mitchell was intercepted once.

“He demonstrated a lot of poise,” Hufnagel said.

“He made plays with his legs and controlled the game and did what we asked him to do.

“I think Bo is progressing. The more reps he’s getting in practice has definitely shown. The game’s not too big for him.

He has excellent poise and excellent vision, but he is a young quarterback. Young quarterbacks tend to make some mistakes.”

Kings put Canadian championship back in sights

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Teams normally head into the season making sure they’re not looking too far down the road.

They don’t want to talk about a league championship, never mind a Canadian championship.

That’s not the case with the RDC Kings volleyball squad.

After winning the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference and being upset in the national final last year, the Kings have set their sights on taking it one step further.

“I think we feel the same every year that we want to win the league and go to the nationals,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha.

“It’s definitely the same this year and the fact we’re hosting the league

COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL finals we feel there’s no excuse if we don’t do exactly that. Then again it’s a matter of staying healthy and making sure we’re playing our best at the right time.”

There will be only one team from Alberta advancing to the nationals this year as Briercrest Bible College will be the host team.

“That makes it tighter, but at the same time we want to win the conference and go into the nationals with a top seed.”

The Kings did lose close to half their roster from last season, but only two starters — middle Jordan Gardiner and libero Patrick McIntyre.

Schulha has one of the league’s premier players at every position this season, led by setter Sam Brisbane.

Tim Finnigan and Chris Jones return to the left side with six-foot-eight Chris Osborn in the middle and Braden O’Toole on the right side. Second-year middle Jonah Gilham and outside hitter Anthony Finnigan are the other veterans.

Schulha has replaced McIntyre with Parker Maris, who was the premier libero coming out of high school last year and played on the highly rated Northern Alberta Volleyball Club out of Edmonton.

“Parker was recruited by a number of universities and we’re not sure how many years he’ll be here,” said Schulha. “We’d like him to be here for a couple, but he’ll be strong for us this year.”

Maris is one of four players off the

NAVC squad.

Setter Keaton Reid of Bev Facey in Sherwood Park and outside hitters Mike Goertz of provincial 4A champion Harry Ainlay of Edmonton and Clark Spencer of Jasper Place were with the NAVC team that won the U17 nationals two years ago and were second in the U18 nationals last season.

Six-foot-seven Eric Hart, who red shirted with the University of Calgary last year, Justin Lucacs of Calgary and Chase Walper of Hunting Hills are also listed in the middle.

“Eric had some minor knee surgery, but is healthy and a quality player,” said Schulha.

“Justin has also looked good at practice and Chase comes in as our fifth guy in the middle, but you never know how things develop.

Angels complete sweep DOWN TORONTO BLUE JAYS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Los Angeles 4 Toronto 3 TORONTO — This is audition time for J.A. Happ.

The Toronto Blue Jays will be looking to improve the starting rotation ahead of next season and pitchers like Happ have a chance to show they belong as the disastrous 2013 campaign draws to a close.

It did not go well for left-hander on Thursday night.

Happ allowed four runs in 4 1-3 innings as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Blue Jays 4-3 to complete a three-game sweep.

“I’m just trying to prove to myself more than anything else,” he said. “I hope to go out and finish strong.”

But twice he could not hold the lead on Thursday as the Blue Jays (67-79) lost despite four hits, including a home run, from Jose Reyes to go along with three hits from Moises Sierra.

Kole Calhoun had two hits with a home run for the Angels (70-76) and right-hander Garrett Richards (7-6) pitched 6 2-3 innings to win his third straight decision.

“He kept us in the game,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Happ.

“The thing that bit us the last two nights is two times (Wednesday) night and two times tonight we take the lead and don’t get the shut down inning and give it right back. That’s what kills you. That’s a huge part of baseball.

“We’re not throwing out our top-notch lineup right now, we’re scratching for runs, so our starters have got to step up. We’ve got to find a way to get a shut down inning and we haven’t done that the last two games.”

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher J.A. Happ throws against the Los Angeles Angels during first inning AL baseball action in Toronto on Thursday.

Happ (4-6) lamented the missed opportunity to do just that. “You want to give your team a chance to win,” he said.

“We got the lead and gave it right back. You’d like to have some shutdown innings when we do get the lead like that.”

Richards allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four as he improved to 4-1 in his last five outings.

“He got a little better as the game went on,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “I didn’t think Garrett was as sharp tonight . . . but he had some movement on his fastball, which got him through. Still, he pitched deep into the game and in the middle innings there was no doubt his stuff picked up.”

Ernesto Frieri pitched the ninth for his 33rd save despite allowing a two-out double to Reyes and a walk to Munenori Kawasaki.

Happ needed 87 pitches in his short outing as he

surrendered six hits and two walks while striking out six.

The Blue Jays opened the scoring in the first inning after Reyes and Kawasaki led off with singles.

Reyes took third when Brett Lawrie grounded into a double play and scored on Adam Lind’s double to right.

The Angels tied it in the second when Happ walked Chris Iannetta with two outs before surrendering singles to Calhoun and Grant Green.

“I think the assumption is that I made bad pitches,” Happ said. “But as I go look back at it, I try to be honest as I can with myself, and the breaking ball to Green in the second inning I would like to have that pitch back. But (I was) really trying to be aggressive out there and they found a way.”

I’m going to keep working and try to figure this thing out but it’s tough.”

Peyton won’t discuss football with Eli this week BUT HE’LL TALK UP LITTLE BROTHER ALL DAY

BY ARNIE STAPLETON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning loves Eli’s game, and not just because he’s his little brother.

As a fellow NFL quarterback, he appreciates the way Eli has improved every year despite an ever-changing supporting cast, all while working under the bright glare of Broadway.

Oh, and those two Super Bowl rings are pretty sweet, too.

Big brother has just one of those.

The siblings square off Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the third — and quite possibly last — time they’ll face each other in the pros. Peyton came out on top in the first two, with his old team, the Indianapolis Colts, beating the New York Giants in 2006 and ’10.

Peyton, 37, sees Eli, 32, through the dual prism of blood and quarterback brotherhood, and he’s thoroughly impressed by the view.

“Eli is a great player,” Peyton said.

“He’s a consistent player. I think he’s gotten better every year. I’ve always thought that’s the goal for a brand new player is to try to be a better player each year than the year you were before. He’s made things happen with different players, different receivers and different running backs. He’s been very flexible to adjust to the different players that he’s played with. But his

Play gets underway Sept, 19 at 8 p.m. when RDC meets College of the Rockies. Games continue Friday with RDC facing Capilano at 8 p.m. On Saturday they clash with VIU at 1 p.m. and Douglas at 8 p.m.

REBELS: A team to go ‘all the way’ “Bringing in a guy like Suttsy (Lukas Sutter) will help and our defence is a year older and a lot better.

If we get Matty (Dumba) back (from the Minnesota Wild) he’ll add another big piece to the puzzle.

“I think we have the team to go all the way this season.”

With Dieno back in the fold, Brent Sutter is still waiting on the return of Bartosak (Los Angeles), Lu-

terbacks who threw for 400-plus yards the previous week.

Peyton threw for 462 yards and tied an NFL record with seven touchdown passes against Baltimore. Like Peyton, Eli also completed 27 of 42 throws, and he accumulated 450 yards at Dallas but had three interceptions to go with four TDs. “The past two times we have, for whatever reason, lined up across from each other during the National Anthem,” Peyton said. “So, you do take a moment to realize that it is your brother over there that is a quarterback for the New York Giants in the NFL and it is the same person that you grew up with. So it is unique and I think you do take a moment to realize that it is special.

“But once the game gets started ... you go out there and just play.”

kas Sutter and Kayle Doetzel (Nashville) from NHL camps.

“Kayle texted us saying he was doing his medical and is going to main camp,” said the Rebels boss.

“I’m not sure if Nashville invited all their rookies to main camp, or what, but he will be back here in the near future.”

Bartosak should also be returned to the Rebels at some point next week, while the timetable for Dumba’s return is measured in months, if he’s back at all.

As for Lukas Sutter . . .

“Winnipeg will probably give him a longer look being as he’s a 20-year-old unsigned player, and yet they’re in no rush to sign him because they can wait until the season is over to do that,” said Brent Sutter.

“But he is a second-round draft pick (in 2012) and the reality is it’s his first pro camp because of the (NHL) lockout last year, so he might be given the opportunity to go through a full camp and maybe even play some exhibition games for the experience.

When you’re a high draft pick like that a team isn’t going to push you to the wayside. You’re going to be given every chance to prove yourself.”

Sutter said he expects to know more by Monday regarding the potential return of Bartosak and Sutter. ● The Rebels conclude their preseason schedule with a game tonight versus the Edmonton Kings at 7 p.m. at Lacombe and a 7 p.m. meeting with the Medicine Hat Tigers Saturday in Stettler. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

“I know Osborn and Gilham will be pushed in the middle as will the guys on the outside. But that’s exactly what we want. We want everyone to be pushed in practice so they can’t be taking it easy. That was exactly the case when we (RDC) won all the national titles.”

Outside hitter Kashtin DeSouza of Vancouver and JJ Saly of Calgary’s William Aberhart round out the roster. Kashtin kind of fell into my lap as his parents know my wife’s parents and he contacted me about a tryout,” said Schulha.

“He played on Team BC this summer and is very good defensively and passes well,. He can play either on the left side or at libero.”

Schulha will keep all 16 players, although all of them can’t dress every game.

“What it does it gives us depth in case of injuries, or if someone just needs a little time off,” he said.

The Kings will host the Challenge Cup tournament Sept. 19-21 with four ACAC and four PacWest teams.

“All the ACAC teams play all the PacWest teams and at the end the conference with the most wins wins the trophy,” explained Schulha.

consistency as a player has been awfully impressive.”

The Mannings talk twice a week on average — last season they played the same divisions in the NFC and AFC, so they shared notes on those common opponents.

“Usually we’ll talk on Sunday or Monday after the previous game and then we’ll kind of talk maybe Thursday or Friday kind of about the upcoming game,” Peyton said. “We’ve always done that. We’ll share.”

Not this week.

They both said there was no football dialogue leading up to Manning Bowl III, just the typical bantering among brothers.

There’s been enough chatter from everyone else. Aside from the “first family of football” angle, this is the first game in NFL history pitting quar-

Hunting Hills Lightning Matt Russell looks for some open ground as he carries the ball up field against the Sylvan Lake Lakers during high school football action at Sylvan Lake on Thursday.

Russell runs roughshod as Lightning downs Lakers SYLVAN LAKE — Matt Russell scored three touchdowns as the visiting Hunting Hills Lightning lashed the Sylvan Lake Lakers 40-7 in Central Alberta High School Football League play Thursday.

Russell scored on runs of three, six and 19 yards and finished with 62 yards rushing on 10 carries. Ashton Hall, on a 50-yard punt return, and Jim Ahn and quarterback Jarrett Burzuk — both on short-yardage carries — also scored majors for the winners.

Skylar Roth added three converts and a punt single for the

CENTRAL ALBERTA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Lightning.

Landon Rosene gave the home side an early lead with a 93-yard touchdown run, a score that was converted by Cam Lee. But it was all Lightning from there, as Burzuk and Brett Barrett combined to complete three of 11 passes for 92 yards and the visitors picked up 99 yards on the ground.

The Hunting Hills defence also picked off two passes.

Rosene was a one-man show for the Lakers, running for 239 yards

on 23 carries.

Sylvan Lake quarterback Kane Price was one-for-11 passing for 11 yards.

In league action tonight, the Lindsay Thurber Raiders will entertain the Rocky Mountain House Rebels at 4:30 p.m. and the Notre Dame Cougars will host the Lacombe Rams at 7:30 p.m., with both games at Great Chief Park.

Meanwhile, the Wetaskiwin Sabres will visit the Ponoka Broncs and the Camrose Trojans will host the Stettler Wildcats.

Halpen finishes three behind leader SASKATOON — Red Deer native Todd Halpen, who now plays out of Calgary, slipped to a 1-over 73 Thursday and finished three strokes behind winner Bill Walsh of Markham, Ont., in the PGA Assistants Championship.

Anderson had earlier rounds of 73-70, whole Roy Hide of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club turned in a final-round 74 and finished at 6-over 222, a total score that included earlier rounds of 76-72.

A year ago Mike Woollard took control of the RDC Queens basketball team with only two players returning, and both of them were in their second season.

This year it’s a new story. Woollard has six veterans, two former players and a transfer to work with.

“It’s nice as we have four rookies, not 12,” he said.

“Having a number of players who know what to expect and the level they have to play at makes a world of difference.”

Guard Sarah Williamson is in her third season while six-foot-two Jessica Foley returns for a fourth season after taking last season off. Paola Viveros has also played parts of two previous seasons and is back in camp.

Guards Dedra Janvier, Carly Hoar and Carly Kolesnik and forwards Desirae Paterson and Kaitlin Bracko are all in their second season.

Paterson started a bit slow last season after being away from the game for a couple of years, but led the team with 9.4 points per game and 5.8 rebounds.

Janvier finished with 6.8 points per game while Williamson had 6.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per start.

Bracko also came on as the season wore on and had 5.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while Hoar added 5.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.

As well Mozanga Ekwalanga, who averaged 7.8 points per game and 5.4 rebounds, has transferred from St. Mary’s University in Calgary.

Point guards Manesha Sidhu and Gillian Griffin of Calgary, small forward Janelle Kakakaway of Calgary and forward Simone Bain of Edmonton round out the roster. Hunting Hills grad Matti Klootwyk could join the team at Christmas after having knee surgery, “We have a nice mix of players returning, players with previous experience and good looking rookies,” said Woollard. “It’s a lot better situation than last year.”

Despite the rookie lineup the Queens managed to win five games, compared to two the previous season.

“We feel a lot better going into this season and everyone is super excited,” said Woollard. “You never know what will happen, but a lot of the players were around during the off-season and had a very good summer.”

The one position Woollard does lack a bit of experience is at point guard with Melissa Woolley injuring her knee and not returning.

“We’ll miss her, so we’ll be young there, but Carly (Hoar) and Sarah will help out and we’ll be experienced all around the younger players,” said Woollard, who definitely needs to cut down on turnovers if they want to continue to progress.

“We shot OK last year but didn’t get near as many shots as we needed to and that had a lot to do with turnovers,” said Woollard. “That’s something we’ve been working on already.” ● Jessica Albricht and Kathleen Harris are the assistant coaches . . .

“It’s not going to really matter with any of us who’s going to get the captaincy. Obviously the captain is the guy that’s the head leader or whatever. You obviously need a couple guys to help you support and get your point across.”

All the veterans will have to provide leadership for the Flames to be successful, Glencross said. “We’re a young group,” he said. “It’s going to be a little bit of a building stage here and we’ve just got to be positive.”

CALGARY — Bob Hartley has already made his decision as to who will serve as the next captain of the Calgary Flames.

He’s just not ready to make that announcement yet.

“I’ll keep it a surprise,” said the Calgary coach when he met with the media after the first on-ice sessions of training camp at the Markin MacPhail Centre. “I want to make it clear. We’re not thinking about someone. Our choice is made up a long time ago.”

The captaincy has remained vacant since the Flames traded Jarome Iginla to the Pittsburgh Penguins last season on March 27.

After the Flames missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season, Hartley and his coaching staff had individual meetings with all of the players, including Mark Giordano, Mike Cammalleri and Curtis Glencross, who served as assistant captains after Iginla’s departure.

“We have some very good prospects to be captains, to be assistant captains, but when all our meetings were done and basically we were coming up with one name, it was basically unanimous that it was the one guy,” said Hartley, while adding that he thinks of his new captain as a great example of commitment and dedication. “I thought that it was an easy choice.”

While Cammalleri said he wouldn’t turn down the captaincy, he has a sneaking suspicion that the job will go to Giordano, who is entering his seventh season in the NHL, all of them with the Flames.

“My bet would be that Mark would make a great captain of this club,” Cammalleri said. “ H e ’ s earned the trust of a lot of guys here for a long time. He’s a tremendous hockey player. He stands for a lot of things that I think would make him a great captain. That would be my guess.

“I’d be happy to be alongside with Glennie as an assistant and sup-

Stars start short camp WITH PLENTY OF NEW FACES

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT WORTH, Texas — The Dallas Stars are back on the ice, with a six pack of major acquisitions led by new coach Lindy Ruff and not much time to get ready for the season opener.

The Stars opened a three-day training camp in Fort Worth, 30 miles from their home ice in downtown Dallas, and didn’t waste any time getting to work Wednesday.

“The ice got a little bit tough, but I thought the speed in practice and the stuff we tried to work on in the offensive zone, I thought we did a nice job with it,” Ruff said on a day when the temperature surpassed 90 outside the Fort Worth Convention Center. “It was a good first day.”

Tyler Seguin, acquired in a trade with Boston after winning the Stanley Cup with the Bruins in 2011, and first-round pick Valeri Nichushkin of Russia were among the newcomers in their camp with Dallas.

The Stars also added veteran centres Shawn Horcoff and Rich Peverley and 39-year-old defenceman Sergei Gonchar, another Russian who figures to be a mentor for the 18-year-old Nichushkin.

Peverley and defenceman Ryan Button were part of the Boston deal that sent steady forward Loui Eriksson to the Bruins.

Dallas opens the preseason Sunday night at home against St. Louis. The season opener is in three weeks — Oct. 3 against Florida in Dallas.

“No one uses camp anymore to get in shape. It’s nice to jump into games right away,” said Horcoff, who spent the first 12 seasons of his career in Edmonton before getting traded in the offseason.

“But having said that, we’ve got a bunch of new faces here.

All the lines are going to be different this year from last. And we have a new coaching staff so it’s new for everyone. We actually need some practice time, and we’re going to need all of camp to get comfortable with each other — both coaches and players.”

Seguin was the flashiest off-season pickup for the Stars, partly because he ended up causing a stir when an anti-gay comment was posted on his Twitter account and he agreed to abandon Twitter for a while.

The 21-year-old is likely to be the top-line centre, which will allow last year’s leading scorer, Jamie Benn, to move to his more natural position on the wing.

Nichushkin was notable because the Stars made a rare move for them by drafting a player knowing the risk that he might decide to play in his home country.

He was the No. 10 pick by new Stars general manager Jim Nill, who was part of Detroit’s history of developing Russians into NHL stars during nearly 20 years as an assistant in the Red Wings’ front office.

Nill replaced Joe Nieuwendyk as general manager after the Stars extended their franchise record to five straight years without a trip to the playoffs. Nieuwendyk was in charge the past four of those, and Glen Gulutzan was coach for the past two before Ruff replaced him.

“He’s got good size, strength, he skates with them,” Ruff said Nichushkin. “He’s going to have to get used to a little more physical nature of players at this level. But it looks like he can handle it.”

Kings ready to welcome newcomers

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Although coach Darryl Sutter has won a Stanley Cup title and made two conference finals with the Los Angeles Kings, he had never taken his club through a proper training camp until this month.

“This is my third season with this group, and I haven’t been on the ice with them (at camp),” Sutter said Thursday.

The Kings are confident they’ll benefit from all that preparation as they get back to work following two long seasons and one short summer.

With their first workouts of camp at their training complex, the Kings began the process of adding several new pieces to the core of a team that won a club-record six playoff series and its first championship over the last two years.

“You’d rather have a short summer than a long summer,” centre Colin Fraser said.

“We’ve been looking forward to getting back together and making another run. We can never be satisfied.”

Los Angeles had plenty of time to recover from its 2012 championship run thanks to the lockout, but this offseason was compressed into three months after the Kings’ loss to eventual champion Chicago. Yet the Kings went back to work largely healthy, with even defenceman Willie Mitchell looking good after a 15-month absence for two knee surgeries.

The Kings returned from their Stanley Cup run with their championship-winning roster completely intact. Los Angeles didn’t keep last season’s entire group, but the Kings are hoping they’ve found replacements for departing veterans while getting a boost from within.

“If we would have had training camp last year, (the roster) was pretty well set,” Sutter said.

“Our team was set. This is a big difference. There’s not minor changes. There’s guys that are clearly fighting for spots, and you can’t keep everybody.”

After valuable defenceman Rob Scuderi left as a free agent for Pittsburgh, the Kings signed veteran defenceman Jeff Schultz while hoping to get improved performances from several regulars.

They’re hoping Mitchell returns at something close to full strength, while Matt Greene and Robyn Regehr will play larger roles around young stars Drew Doughty and Slava Voynov.

The Kings don’t have many openings in the forward ranks, but centre Brad Richardson created a small opening when he left for Vancouver. Los Angeles acquired agitating forward Daniel Carcillo, but several youngsters will attempt to grab a roster spot with a strong camp.

Los Angeles also traded backup goalie Jonathan Bernier to Toronto, getting forward Matt Frattin and goalie Ben Scrivens in return.

Bernier was a big factor in keeping the Kings in playoff contention last season while Jonathan Quick played his way back into top form.

He left behind a healthy competition for the backup job: Scrivens is up against AHL goalie Martin Jones and NHL veteran Mathieu Garon, the Kings netminder from 2005-07 who returned on a tryout contract.

Sutter said Thursday that the Kings’ contingent of left wings last season “didn’t produce enough for us.” Los Angeles will attempt to fill that void with several players sporting a wide variety of skills.

Snedeker opens with 7 straight birdies TIGER 3 BACK

When he finished his amazing run Thursday in the BMW Championship, he had seven straight birdies on his card and an 8-under 63 at blustery Conway Farms. “You get on runs like that, you get excited for the next hole because you know something good is going to happen, because you’re in such a good frame of mind and everything is going in the right direction,�

Snedeker said.

In this case, everything was going in — a 15-foot putt from the fringe on the 13th, another 15-footer on the next hole when he used the blade of his sand wedge to bump the ball out of the short rough, and a 40-footer from the fringe on the 17th stood out to him.

That gave him a one-shot lead over Zach Johnson in the third FedEx Cup playoff event. Tiger Woods sounded disgusted with his round of 66, mainly because he had a pair of three-putt bogeys and missed a 4-foot birdie putt over his last five holes. “I’m not exactly real happy,� Woods said. “I played well, and I just didn’t get much out of that round. I missed three little short ones in there and then played the par 5s even par. That’s just not very good.�

Steve Stricker, Charl Schwartzel and Kevin Streelman also were at 66.

The opening round was mainly about the debut of Conway Farms, a Tom Fazio design north of Chicago which has a blend of strong holes and plenty of birdie opportunities on par 4s where players hit wedge for their second shot. Low scoring was predicted, and Snedeker’s round was proof of that.

But as the wind picked up and shifted directions, the course was far from a pushover.

Rickie Fowler opened with a pair of double bogeys, followed by a pair of bogeys. He rallied for a 77.

Rory McIlroy made a double bogey — his ninth of the FedEx Cup playoffs — on his second hole, and then three-putted from 4 feet for a triple bogey and staggered to a 78. Lee Westwood, fighting severe pain in his back and ribs, had an 80. “There’s a good mixture of really hard holes and really good birdie opportunities. I think that makes for exciting golf,� Phil Mickelson said after opening with a 70. “That’s why we have such a discrepancy in scores.�

Westwood is at No. 30 and likely played himself out of a trip to East Lake, though he didn’t appear to be healthy enough to play. McIlroy is at No. 41 and all but took himself out of the Tour Championship.

He needs to finish somewhere around seventh in the 70-man field. His 78 put him in a tie for 66th. “It’s going to be a very uphill task,� McIlroy said. “I’ll try to get to even par as quickly as I can.�

That still might not be enough the way Snedeker is playing.

Snedeker is at No. 9 in the FedEx Cup and assured of being the first defending FedEx Cup champion to make it to the Tour Championship. He is trying to move into the top five, for those players have

a clear shot at the $10 million bonus — all they have to do is win at East Lake no matter what anyone else does.

He wouldn’t have imagined this kind of round at the start of the day. He didn’t warm up well and didn’t feel good with the putter. Snedeker missed the 10th fairway to start his round and had to make an 18-footer for par.

He missed the 11th green and had to scramble for par. He missed a good look at birdie from the 12 feet on the next hole.

The next hour was a blur. “When I get going good, I realize it doesn’t happen all the time, so I instantly become more aggressive,� he said.

Canucks’ top pick hopes to impress new coach Tortorella

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NHL CAMPS

VANCOUVER — A new chapter in the Vancouver Canucks’ goaltending saga is about to unfold at the NHL club’s training camp.

But this one is not specifically about Roberto Luongo or another crease crusader. Instead, it involves rookie centre Bo Horvat, the club’s top pick in this year’s NHL draft.

Horvat will get a chance to make an impression Friday as the Canucks hold their first on-ice workouts after on-ice testing Thursday at UBC and off-ice evaluations on Wednesday at Rogers Arena.

Horvat, an 18-year-old Rodney, Ont., native, was selected with the ninth overall pick that the Canucks acquired in a trade from the New Jersey Devils for goaltender Cory Schneider.

But Horvat is trying not to get caught up in the hype surrounding the deal, which resulted after Schneider was expected to remain as No. 1 and Luongo anticipated for more than a year that he would be dealt.

Horvat’s future will determine the return on the Schneider trade. But, aside from the pleasure of being wanted in a high-profile trade, the rookie tries not to think too much about the deal. “It’s always going to be in the back of your mind, it’s always going to be brought up everywhere,� said Horvat, who had 33 goals and 28 assists with the London Knights of the OHL last season. “But I just try to be positive about it.�

The six-foot 206-pound centre is among few prospects expected to merit serious consideration for permanent NHL employment with Vancouver’s veteran-laden club. “I just want to play the best I can,� said Horvat. “You always want to take that spot. You always want to make the team in your first year, but whatever happens, happens. It’s a win-win, I think, just for me.

I’ve got the Memorial Cup to fall back on.�

Horvat’s junior club, the London Knights will host the Canadian major junior championship tournament. He is also a candidate for Canada’s entry at the world junior championships during the Christmas holidays.

If Horvat does not crack the Canucks lineup, he must return to junior because he is too young to play in the minors under the terms of the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement. But a roster opening to shoot for after fourth-line centre Max Lapierre left the Canucks via free agency and the third line middle spot is in flux as Jordan Schroeder attempts to come back from off-season shoulder surgery. “I just try not to think about it too much,� he said. “I just try to go out there and play my game; and whatever happens, happens. Obviously, I know that there’s a spot open. But you just keep that in the back of your mind and go out there and play your game and show them what you can do.�

Horvat made his first audition before new coach John Tortorella in the on-ice tests. Tortorella de-

ployed short skating tests that mirror shifts in a game.

The coach, who has pledged to try and integrate young players into the lineup, said he is looking forward to seeing Horvat in action.

The difficult time tests offered an early idea of the arduous workouts that Canucks rookies and veterans will face in coming days. “It was a pretty good (bag skate) — that’s for sure,� said Horvat. “But it was good to get it over with, and I’m glad I did it.�

He fared well in a group with veterans Daniel and Henrik Sedin and Zack Kassian. “You’ve got the Sedins trailing you, and they’re pushing the pace, and Kass was out there in my group, too,� he said. “It was not always like that back

Up to

in junior.�

It was not like that at a recent prospects tournament in Penticton, B.C., either where Horvat scored on his second shift in the tournament that included Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets and San Jose Sharks draft picks and farmhands as well as free agent hopefuls on tryouts with the clubs.

Tortorella was not in Penticton, so Horvat’s first real test before the new bench boss will occur in a scrimmage Friday.

Horvat just wants to play his best as pre-season games approach, but realizes his best will have to be better than it was in Penticton. “You’re up against men now and you’re up against a lot of veterans now who have been there and played in the league and been through it all,� he said. “So it’s definitely going to be a lot tougher, but I’m looking forward to getting going.�

Reimer, Bernier compete for job THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — You say you want a competition?

James Reimer and Jonathan Bernier do not.

The Toronto Maple Leafs goaltenders vying for playing time insist they’re not worrying about the other’s performance.

But there’s no doubt that through training camp and the pre-season, their play will affect which one starts opening night against the Montreal Canadiens on Oct. 1.

Beyond that, Bernier and Reimer, a former Red Deer Rebels netminder, could share time during the regular season until one steals the starting job away. In a perfect world for Randy Carlyle, the Leafs’ coach won’t have to make the decision.

“In most of the situations I was previously in we always had competition for the position for a certain period of time,” Carlyle said.

“By the end of the season it sorted itself out.

There was an equal opportunity given to the people to earn that No. 1 job and usually their play indicates to you who will be the No. 1.”

Reimer, the incumbent, helped Toronto make the playoffs last spring for the first time since 2003-04. He had a .924 save percentage and 2.46 goals-against average along the way.

Reimer acknowledged that competition can help him stay sharp. But there’s also an advantage in having familiarity with teammates and the coaching staff.

“It’s good to have that sense of comfort.

You know what coaches want and you know what they’re expecting,” Reimer said.

“But whatever the situation, you go out there and you compete. You compete your hardest.”

Bernier, acquired via trade from the Los Angeles Kings in June, isn’t thinking of it as a one-onone competition.

“I’m not going to compete against Reimer,” he said.

“I’m competitive enough that I want to be the best, and that’s not something I’m going to focus (on) — to beat Reimer. I’m just going to focus every day to be the best, and that’s the only thing that I can control.”

The 25-year-old Bernier has only 62 games of NHL experience, but he’s helped by previous goaltending battles he was a part of against Jonathan Quick in Los Angeles.

Before Quick was a Conn Smythe Trophy winner and Stanley Cup champion, there was plenty of debate about whether he or Bernier would be the Kings’ starter.

“My first couple years in L.A. we got asked a lot, me and Jonathan Quick, who was going to play the next day and who was the No. 1 guy,” Bernier said.

“I’m used to it, and I better get used to it.”

Reimer and Bernier better get used to it because the questions aren’t going away.

Bernier is making $2.9 million to Reimer’s $1.8 million, so there’s plenty of discussion about whom the Leafs will rely on more this season.

Carlyle likes to consider goaltenders “1A and 1B” instead of labelling a starter and a backup.

“Having both Jonathan and James in net gives the coaches a lot of options,” Toronto general manager Dave Nonis said. “Goaltending, you can’t win without it. It’s impossible without goaltending. We feel we have two of the top young guys.”

Being the best is what the Leafs’ goaltending competition is all about.

“They’re both quality goaltenders,” Carlyle said.

“We think it’s healthy to have competition for the position.”

Scheifele sheds blood as he tries for Jets BUT IT CAN’T KEEP HIM OFF ICE

BY SCOTT EDMONDS THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Mark Scheifele was sporting a split lip Thursday after the Winnipeg Jets took to the ice for the first time at camp this season.

But the young forward is more than willing to shed a little blood if that’s what it takes to make the team this season.

“It caught me pretty good, dazed me for that shift, but I didn’t want to be off the ice for too long,” he said after practice, his lip still bleeding a little despite the plastic stitches holding it together.

Scheifele has played 11 games with the Jets since he was drafted in 2011. The last two seasons he was sent back to the Barrie Colts, his junior team in the Ontario Hockey League.

He was a major force for the Colts during the playoffs last spring but was injured for the

last game and the Colts missed out on a berth in the Memorial Cup. The Jets know they need more offensive talent for a second and perhaps third line as they enter the more competitive Central Division and Western Conference under realignment.

Last season, Winnipeg consistently fielded only one solid top-six line — Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little and team captain Andrew Ladd.

The Jets were unable to find the right mix to complement the obvious scoring talent of leftwinger Evander Kane.

The four of them still scored almost half of the 128 goals the

Jets scored last season and had a combined total of 152 points.

Olli Jokinen spent some time with Kane but failed to live up to the potential his statistics suggest is there. The Jets acquired Devin Setoguchi and Michael Frolik in the off-season to add more depth.

Kane, Scheifele and Setoguchi lined up at times in a scrimmage Thursday but all know it’s too early to say how things would shake out.

“It was good, we made some nice plays, we won the hockey game,” said Kane. “(But) you know it was just a camp scrimmage, so it’s tough to kind of see what happens unless you play an actual NHL game.”

Kane would no doubt like to see himself on a line that can rival the Wheeler, Little and Ladd trio.

“I wouldn’t say anxious, I’m probably more on the excited part and hopeful we can find some chemistry and we can get things clicking early on,” he said. “Two points in October is just as important as two points in April and that’s kind of the mentality we have going into this season.”

Setoguchi said it’s way too early to predict where he might fit into the Winnipeg lineup.

At 26, he has played 384 NHL games over four seasons with the San Jose Sharks and two with the Minnesota Wild. His best campaign was with San Jose in 2008-’09, when he scored 31 goals and added 34 assists in 81 games.

“I thought today was kind of a feeler day,” he said.

“The coaches they just wanted us to go out there and put in the work, kind of go through the systems a little bit and get used to it.”

Noel can’t predict what will happen yet but he knows where he wants to be when camp ends.

“You’d like to come out of training camp knowing the structure of your group, what you’ve got,” he said. “Your two offensive lines, potentially your third, with some players possibly being able to play up ...

“You want to be a position where you know what your special teams are going to be, who’s killing penalties, who’s on the power play ... You know that these things are subject to change with a lot of factors.”

Satisfaction runs high RED DEER CITIZENS SURVEYED ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN CITY Ninety-seven per cent of Red Deer citizens say the quality of life in the city is good to very good, according to the 2013 Ipsos Reid Citizen Satisfaction Survey.

The annual survey allows the city to gauge how satisfied people are with City of Red Deer services, programs and initiatives. The results are used as a tool at budget time.

Among the highlights, the survey found 83 per cent of Red Deerians felt they received good value for their tax dollar and

54 per cent of residents would support increasing taxes to enhance or maintain services.

Thirty per cent of residents favoured cutting services to maintain or reduce taxes Forty-one per cent of residents reported that transportation was the most important issue facing the community and 54 per cent feel that the city is doing a very good or somewhat good job of managing our road infrastructure, a seven per cent decrease from 2012.

Man guilty of assault

FOOTBALL AT SYLVAN LAKE

KNIFE, VACUUM CLEANER USED IN ALTERCATION

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Sentence will pronounced later for a former Coronation man convicted on Thursday of assaulting his roommate.

Daniel Holland, 57, was charged with assault with a weapon, aggravated assault and using a knife for a criminal purpose by police called to a home in Coronation just before midnight on Dec. 1, 2010.

Holland, who now lives in Drumheller, was tried this week before Justice Monica Bast in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench.

In giving her decision on Thursday, Bast said she found conflicting testimony between Holland and the complainant, Steven Polege, 40.

Bast said physical evidence from the house casts doubt on Holland’s story, but supports Polege’s version of the events.

Polege testified earlier that he had words with Holland after coming home late to find the house locked, music blaring and Holland inside, intoxicated.

He was eventually let into the house, had a drink with Holland, showered and went to his room to watch a movie.

EARTHDANCE GLOBAL PEACE PARTY Red Deerians can give peace a chance with an Earthdance Global Peace Party.

This is a free event but donations and Canadian Tire money will be accepted on behalf of Family Services of Central Alberta. There will be a mayor’s proclamation and prayer for peace at 5 p.m.

dents felt the city is doing a very good or somewhat good job of managing recreation facilities (92 per cent); water (89 per cent) and wastewater (86 per cent) treatment facilities and transit system (74 per cent).

The survey was conducted by telephone from May 29 to June 9 by Ipsos Reid. A sample of 300 randomly selected residents aged 18 years or older took part.

Red Deer city council will hear a presentation on the results at the next meeting on Monday.

Police hunt suspects AFTER BREAK-INS IN OLDS, BOWDEN A number of break-ins in both Olds and in Bowden have police looking for suspects.

Both residences and businesses have been targeted. Between Aug. 18 and 21, four garages in the southwest part of Olds were targeted by thieves primarily looking for alcohol.

Their first attempt was foiled by an alarm that scared them off and they were unable to steal beer from the garage.

Three other homes were broken into and several items were stolen, including two Norco mountain bikes, hockey sticks, $450 in cash and two coolers filled with alcoholic beverages.

These thefts took place between midnight and 6 a.m. and in all cases the garage doors were unlocked.

Between Aug. 27 and Sept. 6, more thefts took place in businesses, primarily in Olds but a few were hit in Bowden.

The Fountain Tire had hydraulic pumps and other equipment taken after holes were cut in the fence.

On Sept. 3, people returned and cut another hole in the fence, but took nothing.

On Aug. 28, police said suspects climbed the Hartley’s Equipment Rentals fence and stole some diesel.

That same day, laptops were stolen from Central Action Plastics.

Two days later, the Town of Olds shop had its fence cut and aluminum signs and tools were stolen.

A bicycle was left behind.

On Sept. 4 or 5, suspects returned to the shop and removed red and blue light bars from the roofs of service vehicles.

Cam Clark Ford had rims and tires stolen on Sept. 3 from a display, while Mountain View Dodge had rims and tires taken from vehicles.

The Brick had people attempt to break in on Sept. 6, as did the Bowden HiWay Golf Course. However, nothing was taken in either incident.

Olds RCMP said all these incidents took place between midnight and 6 a.m.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact the Olds RCMP at 403-556-3323 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Teen charged in shootings of cattle A 14-year-old will appear in court next week after being charged in the shooting of nine cattle from last month.

The Texas Longhorns were found shot in the Stauffer area northeast of Caroline on Aug. 6. They were shot randomly while grazing with a rifle stolen from a nearby residence.

Five of the cattle — four cows and one calf — died from the shots, while four others, including two calves, were injured.

The rifle was subsequently found at the scene, and nine days later was reported stolen by a homeowner who had been away.

The teen, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has been charged with nine counts of shooting cattle, two break and enters, careless use of firearms and a breach of probation.

The youth will appear in court on Sept.

16 in Didsbury.

Const. Tom Meloche of the Rocky Mountain House RCMP said the shooting was an isolated incident. The livestock owner will have to go through the courts to get restitution for his loss.

Harris to continue fight for more amenities

City council incumbent Paul Harris promises to represent residents at the table and fight for more amenities, including a 50-metre pool and a concert hall in Red Deer.

Harris, 51, is seeking a second mandate after what he calls a good first term that left some loose ends, including the long awaited 50-metre pool, opening the Paul Harris conversations on a concert hall, environmental issues and developing Riverlands.

CIVIC ELECTIONS “We need to be able to address our financial position with our social amenities, as well as our wastewater, sewage, roads and all the other day-today things that keep our city functioning,” said Harris.

“If we don’t have the social infrastructure with it, we’re going to have beige and boring.

Everyone can get where they are going but they have no place to go.”

Harris said his 20 years of business experience in property development, housing, retail and tourism in the community bodes well on council when dealing with the large city budgets.

Harris said transforming Ross Street to a place of culture and innovation from a street

with closed buildings and strip bars is another example of why his experience that sets him apart from other candidates.

Harris said he is creative with solid business sense.

Harris said he followed through on his 2010 commitment to give residents a voice at the table.

“I have been open,” said Harris, noting his use of social media but maintains the best conversations are faceto-face.

“I wear my heart on my sleeve. I say this is what I think and this is what I am hearing. I try to honour those voices.”

Over the last three years, Harris was happy with council’s work on the strategic direction.

BRIEFS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LEDUC — An Alberta man has been charged with beating his girlfriend and then deliberately setting her on fire.

RCMP say they were called to an apartment complex in Leduc last month where a 25-year-old woman suffered severe burns.

Police say their initial investigation indicated her burns occurred accidentally, but they say an intensive followup investigation determined her boyfriend had allegedly set her on fire after a violent assault.

Tyrell Ivan James Lee, 23, of Leduc, south of Edmonton faces charges that include attempted murder, aggravated assault, arson with disregard for human life and failing to comply with a probation order.

EDMONTON — An Edmonton police officer has been charged with dangerous driving causing death in a crash last year that killed an 84-yearold woman.

Alberta’s Serious Incident Response Team says the plainclothes officer was conducting surveillance and was driving an unmarked police car at the time of the crash in March 2012.

The woman was turning left at a south-side intersection, crossing the path of the officer’s car, when the two vehicles collided.

The officer suffered serious, but not life-threatening injuries. Const. Chris Luimes is to appear in court Oct. 10.

The response team is the agency that investigates incidents involving police officers that result in serious injury or death.

Authorities had previously identified the woman killed in the crash as Anne Cecilia Walden. The officer involved reportedly had been on the job for six years at the time of the crash.

presented to her was not strong enough to convict Holland of aggravated assault, but would support a conviction on the lesser offence of assault causing bodily harm. At the request of Crown prosecutor Tony Bell, she stayed proceedings on the balance of the charges. A stay means those charges remain in limbo for up to a year and are dismissed at that

time if no further action is taken.

Sentencing was adjourned at the request of defence counsel Molly McVey, who asked that a pre-sentence report be prepared for her client.

A date for the sentence hearing is to be set during arraignments in the Court of Queen’s Bench on Oct. 7. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Polege said “the fight was on” when Holland came into his room, armed with a steak knife, and “poked” him in the stomach, causing a wound that needed two stitches.

Holland said he grabbed the knife from beside the stove after Polege jumped him in the hallway, striking him over the head with a vacuum cleaner and knocking him to the floor.

Bast said she found it difficult to believe that Holland would have been able to reach the knife from the hallway while on all fours, with the stove at least three metres away.

Man pleads guilty to armed robbery A first offender’s early guilty plea has helped shave a year off his sentence for armed robbery.

John Daylan Saddleback of Hobbema has remained in custody since his arrest for an armed robbery at a Red Deer gas station and convenience store on July 10.

Saddleback, 21, pleaded guilty to one charge of robbery and two counts of breaching release conditions in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday.

Court heard that Saddleback entered the East Hill Fas Gas, handed the clerk a note and then lifted his shirt to show a large knife.

He fled the store with less than $100 in cash and some cigarettes.

Crown prosecutor Jillian Brown described the offence as spontaneous and opportunistic, stating that the note was written on a page torn from a calendar.

Judge Gordon Deck accepted a joint sentencing submission from Brown and defence counsel Glen Allen, sentencing Saddleback to two years.

Deck commented that the starting point for robbing convenience stores is three years because of the serious nature of crimes against people working in stores who are often on their own.

He agreed with Brown and Allen that the guilty plea should be a factor in lightening the sentence.

He gave Saddleback credit for two months served in pre-trial custody.

He ordered that the man submit a DNA sample for the national database and prohibited him from owning all weapons for 10 years after his release.

He is banned for life from owning restricted or prohibited weapons.

B.C. man deemed ‘public safety concern’ arrested on drug charges

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — An Abbotsford, B.C., man labelled a public safety concern by police has been arrested on trafficking charges, just months after he was accused of attempted murder in Alberta.

Police say an emergency response team entered Manraj Singh Gill’s home on Sept. 5 and found heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine along with a loaded zipgun, or improvised firearm.

Const. Ian MacDonald said Gill is the same man charged last January in Strathmore, Alta., with the 2007 attempted murder of Dustin Cammer.

He’s accused of stabbing the man multiple times, Macdonald said in an interview.

Gill is known to police in both B.C. and Alberta, he said.

“He is considered to be a gang associate and a public safety to concern to the Abbotsford Police Department,” a police news release stated.

MacDonald said they began identify-

ing people as “public safety concerns” in the aftermath of Abbotsford being called the homicide capital of Canada.

“We label almost 200 people that way.”

The force created its own gang suppression unit that works with a crime analyst who develops the list, he explained.

“It’s an internal list, and people, sometimes they drop off the list because they’re deceased on incarcerated or move out of town. They can come onto the list, obviously, if they’re a new player in town and they fluctuate up and down the list, depending on what relevant information we get.”

He said the top 10 per cent of those on the list would have more direct contact from police, which could even include the so-called duty to warn.

“So you’ve already had those conversations (to say) ’hey listen, someone’s trying to kill you if you didn’t know.”’

MacDonald said Gill is considered a mid-level gang associate, but he made it onto the upper levels of their public safety list, somewhere in the top 25.

C3 Oil and gas expo future bright

FRIDAY, SEPT. 13, 2013

ORGANIZERS EXPECTING ALL EXHIBITORS TO RETURN FOR FUTURE SHOWS

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Attendance may not have been as high as organizers had hoped for, but the 2013 Red Deer Oil & Gas Expo has set the stage for similar events in the future.

“I have not spoken to one exhibitor that didn’t say they wanted to come back next year,” said Dwayne McArthur, the man behind the inaugural event. “We also have a list at the front of over 50 companies that want to be on the 2015 waiting list.”

The expo, which ran Wednesday and Thursday in the Stockmen’s and Prairie pavilions at Westerner Park, saw all 400 indoor booth spaces booked, as well as 183 outside.

“Outside was absolutely full,” said McArthur. “We couldn’t have squeezed a pickup truck in there.”

Among those in attendance on Thursday was Alberta Energy Minister Ken Hughes, who said he was impressed with what he saw.

“This is a natural place to do that kind of thing,” said Hughes, noting the “robust service sector” that operates out of Red Deer.

“Obviously Red Deer has the advantage of being in Central Alberta, and that’s convenient for a lot of people.”

McArthur said attendance was lower than he had expected. This might have been attributable in part to the fact Red Deer’s Oil & Gas Expo overlapped with the Fort McMurray Oil Sands Trade Show and Conference — a conflict

Alberta Energy Minister Ken Hughes, left, speaks with exhibitors James Chick of Sherwood Park, centre, and Ken Johnson of Red Deer during a stop at the Red Deer Oil and Gas Expo at Westerner Park on Thursday. he plans to avoid in the future.

Holding the show later in the week, perhaps Thursday to Saturday, might also help attendance, he suggested. But most exhibitors appear opposed to such a change.

Now that the Oil & Gas Expo has established itself as a legitimate event, it should draw more attention in the future, he said.

“I think there’s a lot of people who weren’t going to take the day off work to drive all the way from Rocky or Stettler to come to a show that they knew nothing about.”

Rick Moore, membership and community relations manager with the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce, agreed.

“The feedback has been good for a first show,” he said.

“It’s going to build, just like Agri-Trade.

Ed Evans, a territory manager with Red Deer’s Pumps & Pressure Inc., was pleased with his experience at the Expo.

“We’ve been busy,” he said.

“We’ve sold lots of lube tanks, and we sold pressure washers and air compressors and steam trucks.

“For Pumps & Pressure, it’s been a good show.”

Adam Jasper, a technical writer with Lee Specialties Ltd., also of Red Deer, said that Wednesday was a bit slow but things picked up on Thursday.

“There were a lot more people coming in who were kind of targeted to what we’re trying to sell.”

Jasper said he was impressed with the displays and the technology being showcased. And he also thinks the 2013 Expo has established the foundation for bigger and bet-

ter things in the future.

“It’s a great place to network and a great place to learn,” he said. “If you’re thinking of getting into the oil and gas industry, this is a great place to learn what’s out there before you make a decision of what career path you want to pursue.”

Running concurrent with the Red Deer Oil & Gas Expo was Boutiques For Women. It took place in the salons adjacent to the Prairie Pavilion.

McArthur is already planning for the next Oil & Gas Expo and Boutiques For Women in 2015.

Hughes, who was accompanied by Alberta International and Intergovernmental Relations Minister Cal Dallas, said Alberta’s energy industry is at a critical juncture as it tries to expand its market beyond the United States.

Challenges remain, said Hughes, but he’s pleased with the progress that’s been made over the past six to eight months in developing new transportation links.

“People should never underestimate how the market will work. If there’s a difference in the price for something in one part of the continent compared to another, the market will figure out how to make the connection and make it work and make those price differentials go away.”

That said, continued Hughes, Alberta still needs to strive to ensure its energy producers get improved access to tidewater ports and global markets. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

Arbor Valley Cabinet Gallery offers high-end work EMPHASIZES TOP-QUALITY MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Downtown Red Deer has become home to a high-end cabinet shop that could soon expand across Canada.

Arbor Valley Cabinet Gallery has been operating at 4806 Gaetz Ave. since July 22.

It emphasizes top-quality materials and construction, along with European accessories, said Stefan Forschle, a Red Deer resident who operates the business with his Blackfalds partner, Raimund Rudolf.

“It’s a luxurious product,” said Forschle, who turns to the auto industry for a comparison.

“Arbor Valley is the Bentley among kitchens.”

Drawers open and close with a light push, propelled by electric servo-drives.

“Technically, you wouldn’t even need handles,” said Forschle.

Soft-close hinges pull doors gently into place, and builtin LED lighting illuminates countertops and the interiors of drawers and cabinets.

Shelves are made from inch-thick wood, allowing for

deeper cabinets and for shelf supports and electrical wiring to be hidden from view.

Drawer fronts are connected with a special engineered mechanism that increases drawer length within the same space.

“It’s only accessible to three companies worldwide, and we’re one of them,” said Forschle.

A collapsible Italian step stool allows users to reach upper cabinets, and then can be rolled out of sight.

And items like a knife block, spice holder and other kitchen equipment, as well as power outlets and a TV, are contained within hidden countertop pop-ups that rise with a gentle prod.

Also on display at the shop is a flat-screen TV that serves as a cabinet front.

A lift mechanism raises it to reveal storage space behind.

“It’s about the customer being able to use the product to its best and fullest,” said Forschle of Arbor Valley’s philosophy.

The cabinetry is manufactured in Blackfalds, he added, using only top-grade wood.

Cabinetry interiors are finished in colours exclusive to Arbor Valley, and clients

Stefan Forschle and interior designer Penny Larsen discuss one of their client’s kitchen design plans at Red Deer’s Arbor Valley Cabinet Gallery. can choose their own exterior colours at the company’s mixing lab.

A 10th generation woodworker, Rudolf has manufactured cabinets in Blackfalds for more than 25 years — primarily under the Contempo brand. He was a customer of Forschle’s, who operates a European import business called Bucher Ltd. It carries products like architectural hardware, kitchen accessories and LED lighting.

The two men agreed there was a need for high-end cabinetry, and decided to collaborate in the creation of Arbor Valley.

“What we’ve basically done is combine Canadian tradition in cabinet making with European technology,” said

Forschle.

Customers can choose between a modern look, a traditional look or something in between.

“Everything is possible, because we do everything ourselves in our facility.”

The Arbor Valley shop also displays cabinetry and millwork products for other parts of the home, such as a walkin closet with motion-sensor lighting and fans, illuminated hanger rails and a gliding steel ladder.

There is even a “live kitchen” where a chef will be able to prepare food for groups, such as interior designers or architects and their clients.

Forschle and Rudolf have also set up a design centre where professionals can sit down with clients to discuss

options.

Nearby is a broad selection of tiles, laminate flooring, linoleum, carpets, blinds, paints, and granite and quartz products.

“We want to draw interior designers, specifically those that have home offices, to use this location,” said Forschle.

The Arbor Valley shop is already attracting customers from Edmonton and Calgary, and Forschle and Rudolf plan to open a half-dozen more outlets within the next five years.

Arbor Valley Cabinet Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. hrichards@reddeeradvocate com

Rogers Communications, one of Canada’s largest communications and media companies, has named the head of Vodaphone U.K. as its new CEO — keen to bring his “competitive instinct” to boost its customer base and bottom line.

Guy Laurence, 52, will take over in December as the CEO of the wireless,

MARKETS MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market suffered a triple-digit loss Thursday, pushed down by declining gold prices and uncertainty over what the U.S. Federal Reserve will announce next week at its policy meeting.

The S&P/TSX composite index ended 124.37 points lower at 12,701.05. The Canadian dollar dipped 0.10 of a cent to 96.85 cents US. With the Syrian situation somewhat settled, investor attention has focused on next week’s two-day Fed meeting, where it’s expected the U.S. central bank will announce plans on winding down its $85-billion in monthly bond purchases.

The asset purchases are widely credited with holding down interest rates and breathing life into stock markets and there has been concern over how much and when the Fed will begin to taper the stimulus program.

U.S. indexes were lower, as the Dow Jones industrials fell 25.96 points to 15,300.64, after gaining more than 400 points over the previous three days. The S&P 500 contracted 5.71 points to 1,683.42, ending a sevenday positive streak. The Nasdaq dipped 9.04 points to 3,715.97.

The Toronto stock exchange was in negative territory for most of the day, as the gold, materials and metal and mining sectors all posted steep declines. The gold sector was the leading decliner, losing 5.18 per cent, as shares in Barrick Gold fell more than five per cent, or $1.01 to $18.19.

December bullion pulled back $33.20 to US$1,330.60 an ounce — its lowest price in nearly a month.

The U.S. Labor Department reported the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits plummeted last week by 31,000 to a seasonally adjusted 292,000. It said the drop was mostly due to technical issues in two states that delayed the processing of applications. The less volatile four-week average fell to 321,250, the lowest in six years.

On Friday, the U.S. Commerce Department will also release its retail sales data for August. Retail sales figures are an important economic indicator because they gauge discretionary spending.

On the TSX, the metals and mining sector was down 2.9 per cent, as Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) shares fell 3.53 per cent, or $1.04, to $28.43.

December copper dipped five cents to US$3.21 a pound.

Meanwhile, the energy sector registered the smallest loss at 0.06 per cent, as the October crude contract rose $1.04 to US$108.60.

Shares in Encana (TSX:ECA) surged nearly four per cent after the CEO of the oil company said its portfolio is far too big and has far too much weaklypriced natural gas in it, suggesting more asset sales are on the way. Its stock closed up 68 cents at C$18.61.

In other corporate news, Rogers Communications appointed the CEO of Vodafone U.K. to succeed its outgoing president and CEO. Guy Laurence, 52, will become top executive of Toronto-based Rogers (TSX:RCI.B) in December. He is replacing Nadir Mohamed, who had previously announced his intention to retire as CEO of the wireless, cable and media company. Rogers shares lost 1.15 per cent, or 50 cents, to $42.95.

Shares in athletic clothing retailer Lululemon Athletica Inc. (Nasdaq:LULU) dropped more than five per cent, or $3.73, to US$65.29 after the Vancouver company lowered its full-year outlook, and reported mixed earnings results. It said its second-quarter revenue of US$344.5 million was up 22 per cent from the same period last year.

Hudson’s Bay Co. (TSX:HBC) reported improved overall profit and sales from continuing operations in the second quarter but said its Lord & Taylor stores in the United States showed the lingering effects of weak market conditions. The earnings had little effect on the stock, which fell 0.01 per cent, or six cents, to $17.04.

Meanwhile, travel company Transat A.T. Inc. (TSX:TRZ.B) saw its stock soar nearly seven per cent, or 64 cents, to $9.98 after reporting record results for the third quarter on higher transatlantic selling prices, reduced capacity and cost-cutting initiatives.

Tepid Chinese response to new iPhone highlights challenge in crowded market THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING — The iPhone’s magic as China’s must-have smartphone is eroding.

Last year, eager buyers in Beijing waited overnight in freezing weather to buy the iPhone 4S. Pressure to get it — and the profit to be made by reselling scarce phones — prompted some to pelt the store with eggs when Apple, worried about the size of the crowd, postponed opening.

Just 18 months later, many Chinese gadget lovers responded with a shrug this week when Apple Inc. unveiled two new versions of the iPhone 5. Today’s market is glutted with alternatives from Samsung to bargain-priced local brands. “There was no big change, no surprise at all,� said Gu Lanjun, a 29-year-old employee at a Shanghai bank. Having bought the three most recent iPhone models as soon as they were released, she said, “I won’t update this time.�

That lacklustre reception suggests Apple faces a struggle in defending its shrinking share of China’s crowded, increasingly competitive smartphone market and its premium prices.

That matters, because China is a key part of Apple’s growth plans. CEO Tim Cook told the official Xinhua News Agency in January he expects this country to pass the United States as its biggest market. “Apple’s market position in China has stagnated,� said telecommunications analyst Jan Dawson of the research firm Ovum, in an email.

One problem, he said, might be that Apple’s high price limits it to targeting the top market

tier, and customers in that segment who want an iPhone already have one.

The two models unveiled this week “will largely be sold to existing subscribers and won’t win many converts,� Dawson said.

Earlier iPhones became status symbols in China even before they were formally sold here.

Buyers paid hundreds of dollars for handsets brought in from Hong Kong and modified to work on China’s phone network. Companies treated them as luxury goods, buying hundreds at a time to give to important customers as Chinese New Year’s gifts.

Now, Apple faces increasing competition.

Samsung has made inroads into its premium market segment. For the mass market in a country with an average annual income of only about $4,000 per person, less than one-tenth the U.S. level, newcomers such as China’s Xiaomi offer smartphones that run Google Inc.’s Android system for as little as 799 yuan ($125).

The rapid growth of the lower segments where Apple doesn’t compete has helped to shrink its share of the overall market even as its sales grow.

Apple’s share of China’s smartphone market fell by nearly half, from 9.1 per cent to 4.8 per cent, over the past year, according to research firm Canalys.

Apple appeared to be trying to capture some of that lower-tier market with this week’s announcement of the lower-priced 5C. But the company’s website said it will start at 4,488 yuan ($712) in China, well above analysts’ expectations of as little as 2,500 yuan ($400).

“People were expecting a much cheaper version to expand the market to the mid-tier segment. But that didn’t happen,� said analyst C.K. Lu of Gartner Inc. “We don’t see much is going on in the China market with this new product launch.�

Investors gave Apple’s two new iPhones a similarly lukewarm reception.

Shares fell 6 per cent in U.S. trading on Wednesday following the announcement. Apple stock has fallen nearly 30 per cent since peaking at $705.07 when the last iPhone came out.

Apple also disappointed observers by failing to announce an agreement with China Mobile Ltd., the world’s biggest phone company by number of subscribers, though Apple had promised no deal.

Shoppers confident Competition Bureau will OK merger with Loblaw

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The chief executive of Shoppers Drug Mart Corp. says he’s confident that a $12.4-billion takeover

by Loblaw, which shareholders voted to accept on Thursday, will also win the approval of the federal competition agency. “Our networks are very complementary, as opposed to overlapping, and therefore don’t raise any competitive issues,� Shoppers CEO Domenic Pilla said following a shareholders’ meeting in Toronto on Thursday. “But clearly we’ll have to submit that to the bureau and make sure we work with them so that they come to the same conclusion,�

Pilla said the pharmacy chain (TSX:SC) is working with Loblaw, Canada’s largest grocery retailer, to prepare an application that will be submitted to the Competition Bureau in the next few weeks.

The bureau has the ability to block deals that could result in substantially less competition. “Our combined market shares are below what would be typical thresholds for the bureau,� said Pilla. “But they have to do their work and we will collaborate with them very closely and provide them the data they need.�

The deal was approved by 99.9 per cent of the votes cast at the meeting or in advance.

The deal, announced in July, will keep the Shoppers brand name in

place and allow it to operate as separate division of Loblaw Companies Ltd. (TSX:L).

It may also see some of the stores that Shoppers owns folded into Loblaw’s real estate investment trust, Choice Properties REIT (TSX:CHP. UN), said Pilla. “We will work closely with that REIT where it makes sense,� said Pilla, but he noted that Shoppers leases most of its stores, so only a small number of properties would be involved.

The deal was supported by the boards of both companies but required the approval by two-thirds of Shoppers shareholders.

The transaction also required the approval of a majority of Loblaw shareholders as the number of common shares to be issued in the deal exceeds 25 per cent.

However, controlling shareholder George Weston Ltd. has already provided written consent in favour of the deal to the Toronto Stock Exchange, which satisfies the approval requirements from Loblaw’s end.

Overall, Loblaw is offering $33.18 in cash plus about six-tenths of a Loblaw share for each Shoppers Drug Mart common share.

The proposal valued Shoppers Drug Mart common shares at $61.54 per share based on Loblaw’s share price before it was announced — a more than a 29 per cent premium to Shoppers’ average trading price prior to the announcement.

Proenza Schouler loosens up for spring N.Y. FASHION WEEK

Don’t worry, they took care of their model friends, too. They can wear the stunning top cast in copper,

a breast plate held in place with some wide ribbon, that closed the show. Not many others can.

BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — To say the designers at Proenza Schouler loosened up their look for next spring, you have to know the starting point: The collection typically is inventive, cool and fairly aggressive.

Their clothes are for the model types — the young women who jet-set the globe in search of the next great party, the one that starts after midnight.

So to see the words “understated domesticity” and “serene and polished” in the notes Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough used for their New York Fashion Week runway show on Wednesday was more than a little surprising.

But, as promised, there was movement and ease, mixed with their other hallmark, experimental fabrics.

“Texture plays a prominent role,” they wrote.

“Suede, wood and chrome reference mid-century furniture designers of the West Coast while woven silk coats recall traditional Moroccan weavings.”

Translation: Accordian-pleat, below-the-knee skirts in a myriad of metallics, tiered tops and jackets paired with cropped, loose-leg pants, and a series of cotton crepe outfits printed with the shadings and shadows of well-loved garments.

not just testosterone, affects body fat, sex drive

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TV ads tout testosterone treatments for “low T,” but surprising new research shows a different hormone may play a role in less sex drive and more fat as men age. Estrogen — the female hormone — is needed by men, too, and the study gives the first clear evidence that too little of it can cause certain “male menopause” symptoms.

“A lot of things we think are due to testosterone deficiency are actually related to the estrogen deficiency that accompanies it,” said Dr. Joel Finkelstein of Massachusetts General Hospital. He led the U.S.-government funded study, which appeared in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.

Testosterone is the main male sex hormone.

Men’s bodies convert some of it into estrogen, and levels of both decline with age.

Until now, there was no way to tell which hormone was responsible for complaints of diminished libido, strength and energy.

Millions of men have been prescribed testosterone gel, patches or shots for these problems, but it’s not known how much they need or whether this hormone replacement therapy is good, bad or neutral, Finkelstein said.

Doctors don’t usually prescribe estrogen to men; the way to remedy low estrogen is to give them testosterone and let the body convert it.

The study didn’t test hormones as therapy, but explored which ones had which effects.

It involved 400 healthy male volunteers, ages 20 to 50, who were given monthly shots of a drug to temporarily reduce their testosterone production to pre-puberty levels.

They were then given various doses of testosterone gel or a dummy gel to use. Half also were given another drug to prevent testosterone’s conversion into estrogen.

Designing the study this way alown words. You have the ability to impact others quite significantly with what you have to share. Do not let others attempt to manipulate you into their own thinking.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You develop a strong emotional attachment to an item of yours or even towards a person. Feelings are so powerful that you realize that you need to clean up your emotional baggage.

Certain things need to be left in the past.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your staying power and your intuition are razorsharp today. Self-reliance becomes vital to your success as you do not entrust in others too easily today. There is no question that you are anything but easy to fool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s that

lowed researchers to compare the effects of different levels of each hormone on things like strength and body composition.

After 16 weeks, researchers saw that muscle size and strength depended on testosterone, body-fat mass depended on estrogen, and both hormones were needed to maintain normal sex drive and performance.

The results mirror animal research — mice altered so they don’t make estrogen grow fat and have no sex drive.

And in male-to-female transsexuals, “there’s actually evidence that when those men are given estrogen, it helps their libido,” Finkelstein said.

The new study was too short to see long-term benefits or risks, such as the effect of testosterone supplements on the heart, mental sharpness, prostate enlargement or cancer.

Also, abruptly and artificially depriving men of testosterone the way the study did may not be the same as when it falls off naturally and gradually over time.

Some people call this midlife decline “male menopause” although men don’t menstruate and testosterone doesn’t fall off as sharply with age as estrogen does in women after menopause.

“Andropause would be more reasonable,” since testosterone is an androgen, a male sex hormone, said John Morley, an expert on hormone therapies and aging at Saint Louis University.

He said the study shows a big variability in the amount of testosterone men may need.

Doctors tend to try a lower dose and abandon it if it doesn’t work, but some men may need more.

Further research is needed, but the results may boost the case for giving testosterone to prevent frailty in older men, the authors write. Low testosterone may contribute to less muscle and bone strength and mobility, impaired thinking skills, heart disease and other problems. time of the month where your deeply imprinted and outworn feelings need to be left behind.

THE DOLL SISTERS ON THE ROAD TO STARDOM Contributed photo

The Doll Sisters will deliver their soulful, moody harmonies tonight at 5 p.m. at the Railway Promenade in Sylvan Lake.

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The Doll Sisters are Central Alberta Prairie girls who write brooding sea chanties, as well as beautiful, forlorn love ballads about doomed romances.

Since Edgar Allan Poe is one of their biggest influences, along with steampunk style and “sorrowful” Celtic music, it seems all too appropriate that The Doll Sisters hail from the Raven area, southwest of Red Deer.

“We’ve made a joke that you have to add up the body count at the end of our new album,” Off the Edge of the Earth, said Jenna Doll, with a giggle. “There are some very sad songs on it.”

Jenna and her sister Shelby Doll, at age 21 and 20 respectively, thankfully haven’t experienced a lot of personal tragedy in their young lives. Jenna, the older blond sister, said their songwriting is mostly stimulated by their imaginations, and shaded by a love of Poe’s gothic horror stories and the heightened emotions of Celtic and Appalachian music.

“We’ve always related to that style,” she added.

“It’s extremely sorrowful.”

Echoes of tragedy and hardship infuse the soulful harmonies The Doll Sisters deliver, and this moodiness can be felt on their first music video of The Road, the title track from the duo’s debut album.

The duo received a $5,000 grant this summer from Public Records and Telus to create the new video, which is now on YouTube.

The Doll Sisters were among only 10 Albertan performers selected for the grant, out of 1,000 applicants from Alberta and British Columbia. A publicist for Public Records said the judges were impressed by the sisters’ musicality, professionalism and visual

concepts for the video.

It features Jenna and Shelby striding through high grasses and a forest in trailing Victorian skirts, while carrying worn instrument cases.

“The song is about people struggling in hard times and trying to journey towards finding hope and peace.” said Jenna, who wrote the tune with the Depression era in mind. “I was just thinking: what if you can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, but you have to keep trudging along the road?”

Not only does Jenna have a “huge” interest in history, she said she also loves the acoustic melodies and harmonies associated with the dust bowl 1930s.

“The music is so powerful and there’s so much passion . . . .”

The Doll Sisters were actually raised on Rankin Family tunes, which was the Celtic-flavoured music favoured by their parents. To this day, Jenna said she and Shelby would be absolutely thrilled if a member of the Rankins heard their music. “That would be amazing!”

While their family is ensconced in landlocked Alberta, Jenna believes she and Shelby would feel at ease on the Atlantic Coast because their grandparents were born in England, Ireland and Scotland.

“We’re from the Prairies, and I’ve only seen the ocean once, but I think we would feel at home living in both places . . . I guess it feels like it’s in our blood.”

The broiling sea appears in the title track from the duo’s new album, Off the Edge of the Earth, which is described as a Celtic rock song. Jenna said it’s about a sea captain who’s being chased by the devil during a storm and fears he’s being driven off the world’s edge.

In contrast, Weeping Willow is a slower tune the sisters co-wrote with their mom, who’s actually a

great songwriter, said Jenna.

“It’s about somebody who’s dying and saying to a lover, ‘Don’t cry for me.’ . . . It’s a very sad song,” she added.

But this second album by The Doll Sisters actually contains some more rollicking tracks than the first one — even though they are more challenging to write, the singer admitted.

“We really want to see if we can get this (album) to take off,” said Jenna, who with Shelby has performed at festivals and coffee houses across Alberta and B.C. and into Saskatchewan.

The Rocky Mountain House-based duo are next set to showcase their new album at the Folk Music Ontario conference this fall. The sisters were also excited to recently be invited to sing at the International Folk Alliance conference in Kansas City, Mo., in 2014.

The Dolls have come a long way since starting singing in the little log church built in 1926 near the family farm.

A few years ago, Jenna began playing the guitar and Shelby took up the fiddle. Their instrumentation now also includes a mandolin and a bodhran, an Irish frame drum.

“I know if we went to the East Coast, we would feel right at home,” said Jenna, who hopes to tour across Canada someday soon.

The Doll Sisters perform tonight at 5 p.m. at the Railway Promenade on 48th Street in Sylvan Lake.

They play the Kaleido Family Arts Festival in Edmonton at the Carrot Arts Community Coffeehouse at 4 p.m. on Saturday and at the Marda Loop Centre in Calgary at 7 p.m. on Oct. 4. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Visit to First World War cemetery inspires Ontario trio

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Century-old stories of endurance under harrowing wartime conditions inspired the Juno Awardwinning latest album by roots band Elliott BROOD. The Ontario trio sings about trench warfare during the First World War on the CD Days Into Years, even though none of the band members had much personal connection with this era.

Guitarist Casey Laforet, 37, said his grandfather was even too young to fight in the Second World War, although his two great-uncles were veterans.

But of the two great wars of the last century, the first one seemed more fascinating. “For one thing, there were trenches,” he explained — which meant soldiers suffered in gruelling, swampy, rat-infested, and poison-gas-harbouring conditions.

Besides the almost unimaginable hardship and loss that went on from 1914-18, it was also a time when our country’s national identity was formed, added Laforet, a history devotee and former cartographer.

The concept behind the group’s Days Into Years release was inspired by a visit to a Canadian First World War cemetery in France, where band members viewed hundreds of Canadian names engraved on a monument.

Each song on the Elliott BROOD album became kind of a chapter in the soldiers’ lives, said Laforet, who also plays mandolin and banjo with the band that performs on Friday, Sept. 20, at The Hideout, south of Red Deer.

The opening tune, Lindsay, is about a survivor revisiting the past while cleaning out the family home.

The protagonist of If I Get Old is a jaded soldier who dreams of making it through the war. “What we’ve done has made us old,” the soldier reflects in the song’s lyrics. “If I live to see the end, I’m going to make a brand new start, But I’ll never be the same

again without my youthful heart . . . .”

Laforet said the young Canadians in the trenches must have thought “if I do get out of here what kind of things will change about myself? Will I do things better?”

Northern Air is described as a love letter to Ontario’s landscape and to the memory of a departed friend, whose spirit now resides there.

Laforet admitted the band members, including his school friend from Windsor, Ont., vocalist/guitarist Mark Sasso, and drummer Stephen Pitkin, never expected to win a Juno for the album. They were touring Quebec when the roots music award was announced earlier this year.

“It was really flattering, after 10 years as a band, to be recognized . . . . but it’s really a bigger deal for our families, who have had to put up with what we do.”

As a sign of appreciation, Laforet gave his first Juno Award to his mother, “because she’s the biggest Elliot BROOD fan. If I get a second Juno Award, I’ll keep it.”

The group members are now all family men based in Hamilton and Toronto who routinely tour Europe.

But they started off in 2003 playing under the label “death country.” Laforet admitted that while Elliott BROOD can still play loudly, it was never so much about creating a metal-country sound as writing with a Clint Eastwood-style, cool-as-a-cucumber vibe.

This can be heard on earlier tunes, including Second Son and Oh, Alberta. (The video for the latter quirky song that Laforet says speaks of Elliott BROOD’s love of Western Canada, features a couple of outlaws reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde.)

With the Days into Years album, Elliott BROOD has happily wandered more into folk-rock terrain.

Tickets for the 9 p.m. show are $20 in advance (available from The Hideout, 53rd Street Music or Gord’s Smoke Shop) or $25 at the door. For more information, call 403-348-5309. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

NEW YORK — Ricky Gervais’ new television show, Derek, available on Netflix in its seven-episode entirety starting Thursday, swiftly tracks a course from sweet to cloying to sugar coma.

The show is about a group of kind-hearted, extreme oddballs working at an old-age home, among them a benevolent man named Derek who may or may not be mentally disabled. Gervais, who plays Derek, has vehemently denied that the character is anything other than naïve and strange (an earlier iteration of the character, who Gervais was performing back in 2001, had been seriously sexually abused), but he seems, at the least, a little slow.

He’s a grown man obsessed with outlandish fantasy fights — who would win, a shark or a suicide bomber? A whale or a rhino? — who never stops talking and seems confused by complex social interactions. His lower jaw juts out, he walks in a lurch, and he doesn’t make eye contact. There may be nothing wrong with Derek, but people who don’t know him — including us, at the start — suspect that there might be: strangers make fun of him in bars or think he should be tested for autism.

A comedy by Gervais, the reigning expert in playing guys you’re meant to laugh at, about a man who seems a little off has the potential to be an uncomfortable, odious disaster. But Derek is a fascinating, well-meaning mess, without being particularly offensive. The show is a serious departure from Gervais’ previous cringe comedies, The Office and Extras, even though it too chronicles the work lives of lonely characters living disappointing existences using the ol’ reliable mockumentary format. The difference is that Derek is neither cringey nor particularly comedic: it’s the first show Gervais has done about characters for whom he feels nothing but admiration and sympathy.

Tearing up after the death of a resident at the home, Derek says that the deceased told him, “It’s more important to be kind than clever or good-looking. I’m not clever or good-looking, but I am kind.”

This is Derek’s mission statement: it is better to be kind.

Fueling a Cure for Breast Cancer Research The Ralph J. Bruinsma family of Lo-Cost Propane is proud to announce the return of the “Fueling a Cure” campaign. The Bruinsma family have already donated 10,000 litres of propane this year.

Another 10,000 litres of propane has been donated and will be sold at 6709 Golden West Avenue, in Red Deer on September 12, and 13.

All propane purchasers can have their bottles filled for $ 1.00 per litre, with all proceeds from the sale going to Canadian cancer research. All costs associated with the sale and transport of the propane, are being covered by the Triangle Group of Companies.

Please join the Bruinsma family in supporting this important cause on September 12 and 13. There will be a barbeque on site September 12 and 13, selling hotdogs, pop, and chips for $2.00 and hamburgers, pop, and chips for $3.00 from 10 am to 2 pm. All of the proceeds are going to Canadian cancer research.

2013 CAMPAIGN WINDUP!

Bring your propane bottles to the Pink Truck this Thursday and Friday.

So far this year over $16,240 has been raised for breast cancer research. The “Fueling a Cure” campaign will be in Red Deer this week supported by the Lo-Cost Propane office in Red Deer. After that the campaign returns to the head office location in Lethbridge.

Look for the pink propane trucks throughout central and southern Alberta for the rest of the year. In future, most Lo-Cost vehicles will be identified with the “Fueling a Cure” slogan throughout southeastern British Columbia and southern Saskatchewan.

Nearly all of us have been impacted by cancer, in one way or another. Losing someone to cancer reminds us that we need to enjoy the time we have with friends and family. There is no better way to bring people together than a great barbecue. With the summer season, the “Fueling a Cure” campaign is a great way to stock up on your propane needs while supporting a great cause. Bring your family and friends to enjoy a burger or hotdog and wind up another great camping and barbecue season.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Sept. 13, 2013 D3

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Anthony De Sa is a man with a mighty memory. He vividly remembers, for example, the reception from his students when he returned to Toronto’s Michael Power/St. Joseph High School, where he taught English, after attending the Scotiabank Giller Prize gala as a finalist.

“They all stood up and they clapped,” he said in an interview, sitting in an office that looms above the city he’s lived in all his life. “And then after that — boy, did they listen.”

Being nominated for one of Canada’s most prestigious literary awards for his debut will do that. Now, five years after Barnacle Love, an interconnected collection of short stories about a Portuguese-Canadian family, he’s exploring his community even more deeply with Kicking the Sky, a novel inspired by a murder that De Sa says marked an indelible end to the era of “Toronto the Good.”

In the summer of 1977, 12-year-old Portuguese shoeshine boy Emanuel Jaques went missing on the Yonge Street Strip, then a dodgy cesspool. His body was later found mangled, the victim of a sexual assault, in a plastic bag on the roof of a sex shop.

For De Sa, then 11, the memory of his community at the time is vivid, too.

“It was the first time that I recall my father clicking on the deadbolt in the front of our house, the first time we closed doors and shut windows. It was the first time teachers asked us go to bathrooms in pairs.

It was the first time the neighbours, who used to be boisterous and friendly, all of a sudden kind of retreated into their homes.”

De Sa says the local aftermath of the murder was notable for all the things that changed, but also for the things that didn’t change — specifically, his parents’ long work hours. Kicking the Sky uses the tragedy as a jumping-off point to explore that dichotomy from the eyes of 12-year-old Antonio Rebelo, whose family is still learning where love fits into the new place in which they live.

De Sa says that perspective was tricky to maintain

Anthony De Sa is exploring his roots even more deeply in his new novel, Kicking the Sky. as an author. He had initially written in the gruesome details of Jaques’ murder, but removed them to preserve the innocence of that point of view.

“As adults, we can see murders of children and . . . understand how horrendous that is. But as a child, it affected my family, it affected my friends and neighbours, but we had a sense that as boys, that would never happen to us,” he said.

“I wanted the world to change and for Antonio to recognize that change because the people and places around him were changing.”

The author said Peru’s economic development over the past several decades is also a key theme for the novel.

Vargas Llosa is 77 and lives in Madrid. He won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature.

BOOK

BRIEFS Nobel winner Vargas Llosa unveils novel The Discreet Hero MADRID, Spain — Nobel-winning author Mario Vargas Llosa is unveiling his new novel, titled The Discreet Hero and set in his native Peru.

The novel revisits two influential cities in Vargas Llosa’s past, the Peruvian capital Lima and the small northwestern city of Piura.

Vargas Llosa told reporters Wednesday that the plot centres on a small business owner from Piura who is an extortion victim, and a rich Lima entrepreneur whose children want to kill him.

Ex-treasury secretary’s new prologue on financial crisis available for free NEW YORK — Former Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. has some new thoughts on the 2008 financial crisis, and he’s sharing them for free.

Business Plus, an imprint of Hachette Book Group, announced Wednesday that an updated edition of Paulson’s memoir On the Brink will include an extensive prologue that can be downloaded for free. Paulson served as treasury secretary under President George W. Bush at the time of the crisis and helped orchestrate the controversial TARP bailout program.

On the Brink was originally published in 2010.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST PLAINS, Mo. — Daniel Woodrell awoke from colon cancer surgery a few years ago a changed man.

Or at least a changed writer.

At the time, Woodrell was finally getting widespread — and far too long-awaited — attention because of the Academy Award-nominated adaptation of his hard-as-nails novel Winter’s Bone.

It’s a world most would be happy to have him revisit forever more.

But as he opened his eyes in the recovery room, Woodrell saw a different path in Daniel Woodrell front of him, one that would change his focus as a writer.

It was as if along with the tumour doctors had removed the hard part of him, the part that enjoyed getting bloody to the elbows in the bleak, grey and very real world he’s created in unforgettable novels that also include Give Us a Kiss and The Death of Sweet Mister.

“It does alter your way of seeing the world around you,” Woodrell said. “I don’t think I can write a book as nihilistic as some of my early ones. They’re so bleak. I don’t think I would enjoy that as much anymore. You really become fixated on ways out.”

The Maid’s Version, his first novel since Winter’s Bone was released seven years ago, is the first of two books Woodrell conceived while under anesthesia.

In large part they’re a tribute to his family and the place their lives were centred around for decades — the fictional West Table of his books is a not very thinly disguised version of West Plains, where he’s lived for the past two decades.

The Maid’s Version recounts the deaths of 42 people in an explosion at a dance in 1929 as told through the eyes of a young boy’s grandmother, an angry, aging maid who’s known little but poverty and disappointment. The book is based on real events that even today, nearly a century later, haunt the town.

The book is populated by the desperation, dark moments, ill-conceived choices and lifelong prejudices and hatreds that drive Woodrell’s other books,

Texas Book Festival announces wide-ranging lineup of authors DALLAS — The Texas Book Festival has announced the lineup of more than 225 authors set to attend the upcoming event in Austin.

Festival officials on Tuesday announced the lineup, which will include authors of everything from cookbooks, novels and non-fiction to children’s books and memoirs. The festival will be held Oct. 2627 in and around the Texas Capitol.

Debut novelists featured will include Lea Carpenter, author of Eleven Days, which tells the story of a mother and her son who has gone missing during a military mission.

Bullets fly in the quiet village of Three Pines quintuplets. These five girls are named herein the Ouellet Quints, and of course they are loosely based on the Dionne Quints. Five beautiful little girls born in the dark days of the Depression, who became an obsession, their pictures on mugs and spoons, their actions on newsreels.

Were they the happy little girls portrayed in the news? Did their parents profit from their use in ads and media? Or were they lonely little girls parted from their rural family?

As this story unwinds, Chief Supt. Francoeur has no problem ordering people killed, so that his tracks go undetected. There are wheels within wheels in this well-told but complicated account.

There is reason to worry, though. By the end of the story it seems that Insp. Gamache will step down and a younger man will take his place, but nothing can happen until this lot is taken care of.

Bullets fly in the quiet village of Three Pines.

Stopping the thuggery at the top almost overshadows the murder of the very famous quintuplet.

Peggy Freeman is a freelance books reviewer.

Louise Penny is the author of nine books featuring detective Chief Insp. Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Quebec. The stories just get better and better.

Audrey Villeneuve’s body is pulled from the river close to the Champlain Bridge, and Constance Pineault is late for her planned visit to the remote village of Three Pines.

Two unconnected items and yet their stories become part of this interesting yarn.

It is important to read these Louise Penny novels in order, although there are enough PEGGY hints throughout to put the FREEMAN reader in the picture.

Since the last book Chief Supt. Francoeur has become the head of the Sûreté, and has systematically dismantled the team that Gamache pulled together and trained. Jean-Guy Beauvoir is no longer his second, having been replaced by Isabelle Lacoste. Gamache still believes in the Sûreté code, “Service, Integrity, Justice,” but he’s working with officers whose attitude borders on insolence.

KANDER Barry Martin June 17, 1954 (Windsor, Ont) Sept. 6, 2013 (Edm. AB) Barry will be lovingly remembered by his sons; Cole and Bryce, whom he adored; their mother Penny (Darlene) and a host of amazing friends, as well as brothers Phil and Len; sister, Fay; their families, and the golf course (his lifelong mistress). Barry was predeceased by his parents Harry and Sarah “Sally” Kander.

After university, Barry came west to see the mountains and never moved back. He spent his life teaching in Lousanna, Innisfail, and Red Deer. In June 2012 Barry was especially proud to receive a Spirit Award from Central Middle School for teaching and volunteerism.

Barry was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease early in life and the medications then caused liver damage. In 2000 he received a liver transplant. Barry was very grateful for that gift and the extra 13 years it gave him.

Barry stubbornly held on during the last 3 years of declining health but despite a heroic effort he passed away awaiting another liver transplant. Through it all, Barry never complained and he was very appreciative of the loving care he received from his health care teams at Red Deer and U of A hospitals, and from his family and friends. As a final tribute to Barry, please sign your donor cards and discuss your wishes with your family. Donations in his memory may be made to Canadian Liver F o u n d a t i o n ( l i v e r. c a ) .

BAIRD Joyce, Crooker (Sweet) The family of Joyce Baird announces her peaceful passing at the Lacombe Hospital September 7, 2013 after a brief illness. Joyce was born June 13,1933 near Morningside and was happy to have celebrated her 80th birthday with family and friends this past June. She was married in October 1952 to Fred Crooker and they had a family of six daughters.

Joyce was left to raise her daughters alone at a very young age in 1966 when her husband died in a work accident. In 1978 she married Walter Baird who passed away in 1996. She was predeceased by her daughter Cathy Thompson, sisters Bertha Smith and Elsie Chalmers, brother Walter Sweet as well as her parents.

Through all of life’s struggles Joyce exhibited a quiet strength, calmness and dignity that those who knew her admired a great deal.

She will be missed and forever remembered by her daughters Joann Swarbrick (Calvin), Sandra Crooker, Laurie Whitecotton (Marty), Danita Hunt (Don) and Denise Watson (Tyrone), her sisters’ Gloria Bodnarchuk and Susan Umrysh, 21 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, 2 great great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends.

As Joyce requested no formal Funeral Service will be held, her daughters will host a gathering on Monday September 16th, 2013 at the Lacombe Memorial Centre at 1 pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Joyce’s memory to the Kidney Foundation of Canada 202, 11227 Jasper Ave NW Edmonton, AB T5K 0L5 or the Lacombe Palliative Care Society PO Box 5576 Lacombe AB T4L 1X2.

American jihadi killed in Somalia

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOGADISHU, Somalia — An American who became one of Somalia’s most visible Islamic rebels and was on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list with a $5 million bounty on his head was killed Thursday by rivals in the al-Qaida-linked extremist group alShabab, militants said.

The killing of Omar Hammami, an Alabama native known for his rap-filled propaganda videos, may discourage other would-be jihadis from the U.S. and elsewhere from travelling to Somalia, terrorism experts said.

Hammami, whose nom de guerre was Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki, or “the American,” was killed in an ambush in southern Somalia following months on

the run after falling out with al-Shabab’s top leader, the militants said.

Reports of Hammami’s death have cropped up every few months in Somalia, only for him to resurface.

But J.M. Berger, a U.S. terrorism expert who closely follows the inner workings of al-Shabab, said he thinks the current reports are accurate.

The rebels did not immediately present proof of Hammami’s death.

Hammami was highly critical of al-Shabab’s leadership over the past year and freely shared his views in Internet videos and on Twitter, making him a marked man.

Somalia has long been an attractive destination for foreign fighters, and al-Shabab counts several hundred foreign fighters among its ranks, including about two dozen Somali-Americans from Minneapo-

lis recruited over the past several years.

Hammami’s death will hurt the group’s recruitment efforts, said Abdirizak Bihi, an advocate for the Somali community in Minnesota and the uncle of a young man killed in Somalia in 2008.

“We always knew the Somalis inside Somalia knew that al-Shabab was bad,” Bihi said. “We were concerned about the Somalis in the diaspora . . . who never really knew the facts on the ground and were always manipulated and misled.”

“So that’s why it’s a victory. They now know exactly what al-Shabab is, as much as the Somalis inside.”

Terrorism expert Clint Watts wrote on his blog, Selectedwisdom.com, that Hammami’s plight “probably soured recruitment pipelines from the West into Somalia.”

A pair of waterspouts form on Lake Michigan southeast of Kenosha, Wis. on Thursday. The National Weather Service in Sullivan said the waterspouts occurred about four miles southeast from Kenosha. A waterspout is basically a tornado over water, meteorologist Ed Townsend said.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The New York Police Department had legitimate reasons to put mosques and Muslim worshippers under surveillance as part of its counterterrorism efforts, a city lawyer said Thursday at the first court date in a civil rights lawsuit accusing the NYPD of religious profiling.

Peter Farrell of the city Law Department argued that before the case goes forward, the city should be allowed to present evidence specific to the six plaintiffs that he said would prove police were acting on reasonable suspicion. If the judge agrees, “then this case is over,” he said.

An American Civil Liberties Union attorney, Hina Shamsi, countered that her clients already had sufficient legal standing to sue the city, and that the NYPD should be ordered to begin turning over sensitive reports and documents detailing the alleged spying on Muslims.

U.S. Magistrate Joan Azrack said she would rule at a later date.

The suit was filed in June following a series of Associated Press reports detailing the NYPD’s Muslim surveillance programs. It alleges that the programs undermined free worship by innocent people and asked the court to halt them.

In a letter filed on Tuesday, city lawyers outlined evidence it says shows that a security team at a mosque named as a plaintiff in the suit sponsored survival training outings and referred to team members as “jihad warriors.” Another plaintiff mosque

Hawaii shipping company exec says it had no plan for molasses spill HONOLULU — A senior executive for the shipping company responsible for spilling about 1,400 tons of molasses into Hawaii waters says the company hadn’t planned for the possibility of a spill.

Vic Angoco said Thursday that Matson Navigation Co. had planned for spills of oil or other chemicals, but not for the sugary substance.

Hawaii Department of Health Deputy Director Gary Gill says about 2,000 dead fish have been collected in waters near Honolulu Harbor. Gill says officials believe the best plan is to let currents flush out and dilute the molasses.

The spill occurred Monday in an industrial area where Matson loads molasses and other goods for shipping.

Gill told reporters at a news conference more fish have died in this incident than in any other in the area.

Prince Jazzbo, Jamaican rap reggae performer, dies at 62 KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prince Jazzbo, a rap reggae performer and producer whose career spanned 40 years, has died in his native Jamaica. He was 62.

Jazzbo died at his St. Catherine parish home after a fight with lung cancer, his daughter Princess Omega Carter said Thursday.

He started his career in the early 1970s at Clement “Sir Coxsone” Dodd’s Studio One, the island’s first black-owned music studio that launched the careers of many reggae legends, including Bob Marley.

Born Linval Carter, Jazzbo was a relatively early performer of dancehall toasting, a vibrant form of

was frequented by a man convicted earlier this year of lying to the FBI about plans to team up with the Taliban or al-Qaida, the letter said.

An NYPD investigation of a third plaintiff, college student Asad Dandia, “is based on information that he has made statements and conducted activities in support of violent jihad,” the letter said. Dandia also “attempted to organize a trip to Pakistan in 2011 to train and fight alongside extremist elements there,” it added.

An NYPD informant acknowledged last year in an interview with the AP that he had spied on Dandia.

The NYPD didn’t target particular mosques “simply because the attendees were Muslim,” the letter said. “Rather, the NYPD followed leads suggesting that certain individuals in certain mosques may be engaging in criminal and possibly terrorist activity.”

In response, the ACLU accused the city of vilifying its clients “suggesting (they) are worthy of criminal investigation on the basis of First Amendmentprotected speech, activities or attenuated — and unwitting — association alone.”

It added: “This strategy is a deliberate distraction at best. At worst, it verges on the very type of discriminatory and meritless profiling at the heart of this case.”

Last month, the AP reported that confidential documents show that the NYPD has secretly labeled entire mosques as terrorist organizations, a designation that allows police to use informants to record sermons and spy on worshippers. Police officials have insisted that the department only acts on legitimate leads about terror threats. rhythmic chanting over a sound system track that directly inspired hip-hop.

Mexico arrests three more men in killings of 12 young people MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities said Thursday they have arrested three more suspects in the killings of 12 young people who were reported kidnapped three months ago from a bar near the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.

Assistant federal prosecutor Renato Sales said the three men were captured by federal authorities and have been turned over to Mexico City prosecutors pending formal charges.

Sales said the three are suspected in 13 killings, the same number of bodies found in August in a clandestine grave on Mexico City’s outskirts.

Twelve of the bodies found in the grave were identified as those of the youths reported kidnapped.

Almost all boardwalk businesses destroyed by fire in NJ town SEASIDE PARK, N.J. — A massive fire spitting fist-sized embers engulfed dozens of businesses along an iconic Jersey shore boardwalk Thursday, forcing workers to rip up stretches of walkway only recently replaced in the wake of Superstorm Sandy as they raced to contain the blaze’s advance.

The 6-alarm blaze began in a frozen custard stand on the Seaside Park portion of the boardwalk around 2:30 p.m. and fanned by 15-20 mph winds from an approaching storm system, quickly spread north into Seaside Heights, the boardwalk town where the MTV series Jersey Shore was filmed — and where the October storm famously plunged a roller coast into the ocean.

No serious injuries were reported as of 7 p.m., but the blaze continued to burn out of control and had destroyed all 32 businesses on the Seaside Park portion of the boardwalk, borough Councilwoman Nancy Koury told The Associated Press.
