A voice for taxpayers RED DEER TAXPAYERS’ ASSOCIATION AIMS TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON CITY SPENDING

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A new group representing citizens wants to ensure taxpayers’ dollars are not wasted.

The Red Deer Taxpayers’ Association aims to MUNICIPALITIES SPEND keep a close eye on city TOO MUCH? C1 spending to make sure tax dollars are spent efficiently and economically.

President Jason Stephan, a local lawyer and accountant, said Red Deer is a great place to do business and to live but there is always room for im-

and an advocate for taxpayers and to inform residents that there are better ways to spend.

Charts and data gleamed from the city’s audited financial statements and Statistics Canada paint a picture of city spending over the last 10 years. “The operating spending growth in our city is out of control,� said Stephan. “There has not been any financial discipline. I work with successful business owners every day. There isn’t that same care and control over taxpayers’ dollars you would see if it was your own money, where in the government, it is someone else’s money.�

COLLEGE EYES TRANSFORMATION INTO UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A name change could be in Red Deer College’s future, increasing the significance of the credentials it bestows to students.

Speaking at a Red Deer and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Thursday, college president Joel Ward proposed turning the college into a university of technology and design, similar to how the Singapore University of Technology and Design incorporates elements of technology, management, design thinking and entrepreneurship. “It builds on the strengths we currently have,� said Ward. “Our strengths in trades and technology in engineering, our centre for innovation in manufacturing and our centre arts and design. “It creates a type of institution that leads to advanced credentials for learners and gives them an opportunity to move into higher-paying jobs.�

This would see it granting more degrees. “We think there is a need for a type of institution that can do those kinds of things that currently is not being met here in Canada.�

However, the move to a traditional university is not in the cards, according to Ward. “I don’t think it would best suit the learners of Central Alberta and this would enable us to become something different and unique and meet a niche and a need that other institutions currently aren’t meeting,� said Ward.

He started his talk in the college’s learning column by talking about the changes post-secondary institutions face. He talked of reduced grants, fewer institutions and the closure of regional campuses, and measuring research value by looking at patents, products and commercialization of items at postsecondary institutions and more reliance on revenue generation.

Record number of candidates expected to file their papers on nomination day

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

CIVIC ELECTION

Red Deer’s civic election is shaping up to be one for the record books.

Returning officer Frieda McDougall said there has been a steady flow of residents asking questions and picking up candidate packages for mayor, council and school board positions.

Nomination day is on Monday, when the papers must be filed at City Hall.

The city will then release an official list of those running for city council or public and Catholic school boards.

As of Thursday, 36 candidate information packages had been picked up for city councillor, eight for mayor, nine for Red Deer Public Schools and eight

for Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools.

Red Deer city council has nine positions (mayor and eight councillors) and each school board has seven trustees.

Four candidates have already declared publicly they will run to replace departing Mayor Morris Flewwelling.

And 26 candidates, including five incumbents, have been said they want to sit on city council. “I expect we’re going to be very busy,� said McDougall. “If what we have given out is any indication, we could have in the neighbourhood of 30 candidates for council; potentially five for mayor.�

Coke cancels campaign after bottle caps appear with offensive phrases EDMONTON — Coca-Cola has cancelled a Canadian promotion that paired randomly generated English and French words inside bottle caps after an Edmonton woman got one that said “You Retard.”

Blake Loates said she and her husband were eating at a restaurant in Edmonton earlier this week when her husband read the cap off his bottle of Vitaminwater.

“Both my husband and I were pretty shocked.

We couldn’t actually believe what we were seeing,” Loates said. “We thought maybe it was a joke or that maybe a rogue employee got a hold of the lid machine and wrote it.”

Loates said she found it particularly offensive because she has a younger sister who is developmentally delayed.

Shannon Denny, director of brand communications with Coca-Cola Refreshments Canada, said consumers were supposed to collect the caps to combine words into humorous sentences.

Anglophones would use the English words and Francophones would use the French ones, she explained.

Denny said the problem was the word lists for each language were approved separately and that in French, “retard” simply means late.

“Some words that were on the list, such as the one we were contacted about, have a completely innocuous meaning in French and are used regularly within French conversations,” Denny said.

“But when you look at that word from an English standpoint, it takes on a much different, offensive meaning. And that was an oversight on our part during that review process.”

Denny said the complaint from Edmonton wasn’t the only gaffe. One consumer contacted the company after finding a cap with the word “douche” printed on it.

“It’s the French word for shower,” Denny ex-

STORIES FROM A1

COLLEGE: Looking forward to adapting to changes The Alberta government is taking a fresh look at its post-secondary learning act. Stagnant grants have become a norm, with Ward saying since he’s been president of RDC, grants have ranged from a 7.3 per cent decrease to a two per cent increase, with a zero increase being most common.

Included in discussions are the streamlining of program delivery, including eliminating duplicate programs and collaborating more with other provincial post-secondary institutions.

Unlike some Alberta post-secondary institutions that are looking at the coming changes with disdain, Ward said RDC is looking forward to how it can adapt to these coming changes.

“We’re exploring different opportunities and different models,” said Ward. “We know the provincial government is looking at our sector very carefully and we’re trying to position ourselves to align with the objectives they have.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

SPENDING: Four recommendations The group makes four recommendations on its website to improve the economic and financial management of city’s organization.

They include adopting well-accepted business practices to manage taxpayer dollars, user-pay mechanisms, improve tax competitiveness, and focus spending on the broader community and not on special interests.

“There are a lot of areas for improvement. Our city can be much, much better.”

First Nation expected to vote next month on deal for Calgary bypass road

ALBERTA

CALGARY — An Alberta government cabinet minister confirms that a tentative agreement has been reached with a Calgary-area First Nation to complete a ring road around the city.

Details of the agreement with the Tsuu T’ina band to complete the southwest leg of the road have not been released.

Transportation Minister Rick McIver says, however, that the terms are fair to the reserve, the City of Calgary and the province.

The deal is reported to be similar to one rejected by a margin of 60 per cent in a 2009 referendum involving First Nation members.

A mandatory vote on the latest plan is expected at the end of October.

New Tsuu T’ina Nation Chief Roy Whitney has indicated his support for the ring road and area Alderman Diane Colley-Urquhart says she’s optimistic about the vote’s outcome.

In addition to cancelling the campaign, Denny said the company will destroy all of the caps with words printed on them. She said Coca-Cola was still deciding how to deal with the printed caps that are already on bottles.

The company has apologized to Loates, and to her father, who Loates said wrote the company to complain about the word on the bottle cap.

But Loates said her dad is having difficulty accepting it.

“That word is forbidden from my parents home,” Loates said. “It’s equivalent to the ‘N’ word.”

Province swoops down on oil well to protect nest of threatened hawks SUFFIELD — The Alberta government has swooped down on an oil company to protect a nest of threatened hawks.

The province says it has ordered Calgary-based Crew Energy Inc. (TSX:CR) to stop operating an oil well near Suffield in southern Alberta.

The government says the well is too close to a nest of ferruginous hawks, which are protected under the federal Species At Risk Act. The province says it has also cancelled the company’s mineral surface lease at the site.

Alberta law prohibits high-risk developments within 1,000 metres of active nests to protect the birds.

But McDougall says anything can happen on nomination day.

“I do think there will be some fall-off,” said McDougall. “But we really do not know until we get there.”

The civic election will also include a plebiscite question asking: Do you want the city divided into wards?

McDougall said nomination day is a big day for people running an election and those supporting the democratic process.

“I like to see the candidate interest,” said McDougall. “It says a lot for our community and engagement. For me, this is a good day. It’s good to see people coming out.”

Candidates must file their completed nomination papers between 8 a.m. and noon Monday on the second floor of City Hall.

Candidates running for all offices must have a minimum of five signatures from eligible voters who support their nomination.

Records could fall for wheat, canola, durum AGRICULTURE INSIDERS SAY BUMPER CROP POSSIBLE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Harvest is well underway across the Prairies and while farmers often say that they don’t count the crop until it’s all in the bin, there’s already talk of a record year.

“It is a bumper crop, there’s just no two ways about it,” said Neil Townsend, director of market research with the CWB, formally known as the Canadian Wheat Board. “This is a level that we haven’t seen before. I mean it’s exceptional.

“We had pretty good weather, but the technology is also there to give people more yield, right. And you know we’re seeing that if the weather co-operates, the ability of the plant nowadays is to just give yields that you didn’t get before.”

Townsend said yield records could be broken for wheat, canola and durum.

“And not just like a record, but in some cases it’s going to break the record by over 10 per cent,” he said.

For example, he notes, the highest all-wheat yield in the last 10 years was about 42 bushels per acre and this year it is expected to be about 49 bushels per acre.

Statistics Canada said in its July crop production report that Canadian farmers anticipate record

canola production this year, as well as increases in wheat, barley and oats. That report said total wheat production in Canada is expected to reach 30.6 million tonnes this year — up 12.9 per cent from 2012.

Statistics Canada will release final production estimates for 2013 on Dec. 4.

The latest America projection for Canadian wheat is even higher.

In its September world agricultural supply and demand estimate, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, pegged Canadian wheat production at 31.5 million tonnes — up two million tonnes from its August estimate.

Townsend said estimates are that the six major grains in Western Canada — wheat, oats, barley, rye, flax and canola — could produce 61.4 million tonnes this year. The previous nine year average was about 47.7 million tonnes, he said.

Lynn Jacobson, president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture, said rain and heat both came at the right times in most areas. He says some places in southern Alberta that dryland farm, without irriga-

tion, got extra moisture and “extremely good yields.”

“Some of them have never seen crops like that,” said Jacobson.

The crops look good further north too, near Camrose, he said.

“They were catching all the rains and things like this and it was pretty good for them too. So the province overall is probably going to have a better than average yield, or quite a bit better than average yield,” said Jacobson, who farms in Enchant, north of Lethbridge.

There are downsides, however.

Higher yields can mean lower protein levels in crops, a shortage of storage and lower prices because there’s more supply to meet demand.

“The biggest problem is just that the world is having, in general, the same phenomena happen. We’re having a world record wheat crop — over 710 million tonnes,” said Townsend.

“What’s happening is we’re producing a huge crop into a bear market and the market has trended down.”

Prete drops out of mayoral race SETS SIGHTS ON COUNCIL SEAT

N VT EE MMBBEERR 2 SO EP 12 9 --2225 7

D A Y S O N LY

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Sylvan Lake’s mayor race has taken yet another unexpected turn.

Matt Prete, who announced he was after the town’s top elected job in May, has decided to set his sights on running for one of six council seats instead.

Earlier this month, Coun. Dale Plante likewise changed his mind on running for mayor, instead throwing his support behind fellow Coun. Sean McIntyre, who had recently announced his run for mayor.

Plante will seek a second term as councillor.

McIntyre’s decision to run also inspired Prete’s change of heart, he said on Thursday.

“His platform, from what I can see, is essentially the same as mine,” said Prete, 46, who has lived in Sylvan Lake for seven years.

“It doesn’t make sense for both of us to run on the same platform,” said the general manager for Eckville-based Blindman Valley Propane.

“That raises the possibility that we split the vote and (incumbent Mayor Susan Samson) wins without a majority vote.

“I just thought me staying in the race muddies the waters.”

By stepping out of the race, whoever wins — assuming no one else steps forward on nomination day — will have a clear mandate from voters, he added.

To Prete’s mind, Samson represents the status quo and McIntyre brings a fresh direction.

Prete believes McIntyre is a good candidate and they have both campaigned on a need for more public engagement and communication with residents.

The pair also share concerns about design guidelines for the lakeshore area that they say are too restrictive and hinder growth.

The pre-vote manoeuvering will make for an interesting election race in Sylvan Lake. Mayoral candidates will have a chance to share their visions at a debate scheduled for Oct. 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre. A council forum is set for Oct. 11 at the community centre from 7 to 9 p.m. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

An Olds woman has died in a two-vehicle crash west of Olds.

The 60-year-old Olds woman, whose name is not being released, was travelling southbound on Range Road 23 towards Hwy 27 when her vehicle struck a westbound pickup truck on Wednesday at about 4 p.m.

Olds RCMP said the woman’s vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign and crossed into the path of the westbound vehicle. The pickup struck the driver’s side of the woman’s vehicle. Both vehicles came to rest in the southwest ditch of the intersection on their wheels.

Both vehicles’ occupants were wearing seatbelts and the airbags were deployed in both.

STARS Air Ambulance airlifted the woman to the Foothills Medical Centre. When she was in their care, she was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. She later died of her injuries.

The driver of the pickup did not suffer any serious injuries.

Police said alcohol is not a contributing factor, weather conditions were favourable for driving and roads were dry at the time of the collision.

No charges are being considered at this time.

Tide turning in Quebec Since the launch of its values charter last week, the Parti Québécois has responded to a volley of friendly and unfriendly fire by shooting back that it had the support of a silent majority.

Two Quebec polls published

by TVA and La Presse this week show that is no longer the case.

According to Léger Marketing and CROP, the charter as it now stands canCHANTAL not even be said HÉBERT to command the support of a plurality of Quebecers.

The PQ’s problem is not that its plan has split Quebec into two camps — it cannot but have anticipated that when it drafted the charter — but that within the only majority that matters to its fate, that of francophone voters, the divide is not exactly where its strategists would have wanted it to be.

INSIGHT

Yes, francophone voters are more supportive of the plan than anglophones and allophones and yes, it is popular in the regions outside Montreal that could deliver a majority to the PQ in an election.

But the plan has also driven a wedge within the party’s coalition, putting it at odds with a vocal progressive faction within its own ranks.

According to CROP, those who oppose the charter are significantly more committed to their position than those who support it.

Pauline Marois and her government could be trading loyal supporters for rainy day friends who could still change their minds over the next installments of the debate.

For now, at least mild fans of the charter are not turning in droves into committed voters for the PQ. According to the Léger poll, the charter has so far not translated into a dramatic game-changer in voting intentions.

Its numbers suggest that an election held in Quebec this week would have resulted in another minority government, albeit not necessarily under the PQ.

So where does the debate go from here?

On the political side, Quebec will likely be spared a late fall election.

When all the numbers are combined, the decisive momentum that the PQ was hoping for is missing in action.

If Marois wants a win of sorts, she could drop the imposition of a secular dress code on public-sector employees.

Virtually every other element of the charter — starting with the affirmation of the separation between church and state — inspires a wide consensus in and outside the National Assembly.

The alternative is to go to the wall for the dress code and try to reverse the tide with a publicity barrage and a steady dose of government pedagogy.

That seems for now to be the PQ’s preferred course.

But it is a path that is fraught with danger. It might take only one solidarity concert featuring some of the Quebec artists who oppose the PQ plan to inflict a definitive public opinion hit on the government’s narrative.

Regardless of the final fate of the charter, the episode could have an impact on Quebec’s political life long after the collective conversation has

moved on to other less divisive subjects.

The more interesting CROP finding — one that can be seen with the naked eye — is that new battle lines are emerging in Quebec and that the realignment is taking place on the progressive side of the spectrum.

After the 1995 referendum, the PQ lost scores of its more conservative supporters to the ADQ and then the Coalition Avenir Québec. It was to win those lapsed right-of-centre sovereigntists back that the Marois government embarked on the charter adventure.

But in the process it has chipped away at the cement of progressive ideals that has long held its left flank together.

The demise of the Bloc Québécois at the hands of the NDP in the last federal election has already demonstrated that this particular sovereigntist bulwark is not impregnable.

By taking stones out of a fragile progressive wall to try to rebuild on ruins on its right, the PQ may yet have accelerated the erosion of a crumbling coalition.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

No place for zombies in park This past weekend, Sept. 14, we were celebrating my beautiful daughter’s second birthday at our wonderful (and very active) Rotary Park.

That day alone during the times we were there, 1 to 5 p.m. there were six other birthday parties being celebrated. A wonderful fall day to celebrate the miracle of life, and yet to end the beautiful celebration was a group of about 25 to 30 adult/children in costume and character of zombies walking to and through the park and playing on the equipment.

Apparently a zombie walk had been established for the Red Deer Food Bank.

My question is what organization would orchestrate a “zombie walk” to a very busy park full of children and families on a Saturday afternoon?

Upon seeing this group approach I called my fouryear-old son to me and picked up my two-year-old daughter, upon which the sight of these individuals approaching, my son became irrational from fear, as the individuals/ zombies went to play on the swings, walk through the park equipment and basically take away any place of safety for the children.

I am beyond disappointed and angry with the Red Deer Food Bank for the very thoughtless planning of this “walk.”

If you would like to raise attention for the food bank, please do so in a manner that I can explain to my children. Please stay away from parks where young children occupy, and go to metropolitan centres that would more effectively raise information for the cause which you are promoting.

Questions remain about council The irony of it all — my great-grandfather fought at Batoche. They fought with Riel for rights and privileges of the people of the Northwest Territories.

They lost — I won a fierce independence to make it on my own.

What bothers me is the situation on Riverside Drive. Now the Native Friendship Centre will be built on a flood plain, perhaps with no insurance or help from the government. There’s a name for this urban reservation.

The irony is my insurance on the house is going up close to $400. The reason? People of Alberta have to pay for the floods and the government is spending billions.

Someone insured those who build on a flood plain, someone gave permits. I am not trying to be callous or indifferent to the plight of others. I live 16 km from a river, not on a flood plain, yet my rates go up. Also Riel said my people will sleep for 100 years.

Then they will rise up. The message is don’t accept less than the best for my people and for those to come. Do not let my people die in vain.

The irony of it all — my dog barked 3 times, I got a notice that the next time that happens, I am subject to a $250 fine. I have called the bylaw department about loud music and noise nine times and no fines and one warning. The RCMP did not hear the noise, and the animal service did not hear the barking. Different responses to each.

This council has not paid any attention to complaints from the citizens re: noise and vehicle noise bylaw has had no effect. How can you hear the car horn if your radio is so loud it is vibrating the walls and my truck, keeping us awake?

Several years ago, the RCMP would not give tickets for loud mufflers, etc., as we did not have the technology but now we have a noise bylaw, does this mean the officers patrolling the streets are deaf?

The irony of it all: this government’s response to health, education, etc. What is being offered to the nurses is a strike package. The nurses could strike

A recent Advocate introduced a new, refreshing candidate — a good old boy. With the municipal election coming up, remember the issues: bike lanes, buckets of money thrown to the museum, which will not allow community events to take place there.

It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money for the mayor’s pet project. Vote and vote accordingly because when a minority make decisions with no input from the majority, we have lost our democratic right of freedom, much like the Metis from Batoche.

Michener congestion dangerous We moved to the Sierra Michener senior village condos about a year ago to make our retirement more suitable for us. I have been wheelchair bound for nine years but still able to live in my own home.

Considering the volume of the traffic in and out, I found this area not as safe as it should have been for everyone, the elderly in the condo and the Extendicare population, also all the service people who come frequently.

Michener Boulevard has no sidewalks on either side, and with approximately 500 residents living in this area and the movement of vehicles such as ambulances, staff of the Extendicare, delivery trucks,

action bus, fire and rescue, visitors, etc., it is becoming a very congested area in Red Deer.

I wrote, emailed and telephoned about this problem to the appropriate people without result. They should have allowed to keep the road open between Michener Center and this area (it was open at first) but the Alberta government thinks otherwise (Michener Centre is on crown land).

The traffic is now getting worse with the start of phase III of the Sierras on Michener: with cranes, cement trucks, construction vehicles, etc., rolling in.

Why did the city and the planning commission approve such a big community to be developed with only one little entrance way? It has become a very dangerous situation.

I would like city council to see first hand this development, and I would urge the election candidates to inspect this area also.

It is a beautiful development but, oh, the woes of congestion, dangerous!

PS. It would also be beneficial to have a bus stop nearby.

Investigators study crash site POLICE IDENTIFY ALL SIX DEAD IN WEDNESDAY’S DEADLY BUS-TRAIN CRASH

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Police and accident investigators prowled the crumpled wreck of a city bus Thursday, seeking clues as to why it crashed through a safety barrier and slammed into a Via Rail train the day before, killing six people.

Just west of the bus, rail workers toiled to replace tracks bent out of alignment by the subsequent derailment of the locomotive and one of its four passenger cars.

City crews spent much of the day picking up debris from around the crash site.

Meanwhile, police formally identified the dead as Michael Bleakney, 57; Connor Boyd, 21; Karen Krzyzewski, 53; Kyle Nash, 21; and Rob More, 35.

Bus driver Dave Woodard, 45, was also killed in the crash.

“Our thoughts are with the victims, their friends and families,” the police news release said.

Five of the victims were pronounced

BRIEF CSIS highlights security threat from insiders OTTAWA — Canada’s spy agency is underscoring the national security threat from disgruntled federal employees after a troubled junior navy officer sold highly sensitive information to Russian intelligence.

A newly declassified analysis by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warns that the Jeffrey Delisle case highlights the risk of the “insider threat” to Canada and the importance of protecting sensitive information.

Delisle, 42, was sentenced to 20 years in prison this year after pleading guilty to passing classified western intelligence to Russia in exchange for cash on a regular basis for more than four years.

The CSIS assessment says individuals who engage in insider espionage can be motivated by many factors, but selling secrets is usually the last act of a long-simmering emotional crisis.

Delisle was distraught over the breakup of his marriage, telling authorities he felt dead inside when he offered his services to Russia.

UN rights panel call for review of violence on aboriginal women rejected OTTAWA — Cuba, Iran, Belarus and Russia used a United Nations body Thursday to criticize Canada’s humanrights record, as the Canadian envoy rejected calls to develop a comprehen-

dead at the scene; one died later in hospital.

Boyd and Nash were students at Carleton University. Roseann O’Reilly Runte, the university’s president and vice-chancellor, offered condolences.

“The loss of such young people, who were in the prime of their lives, will touch us in many ways,” she said. “Our thoughts are also with those individuals who were injured and witnessed this terrible accident.”

Transportation Safety Board investigators said they recovered data recorders from the bus and locomotive.

Lead investigator Rob Johnston said the locomotive’s recorder was shipped overnight to Montreal, where its data was downloaded. The information is being studied.

The device from the bus presents a challenge, however.

“The event recorder information on vehicles is specific to each type of vehicle and to whoever the owner of that vehicle is, so it’s not always the same,” Johnston said.

“It’s not like on a locomotive, where a locomotive event recorder captures

specific data and we know exactly what to look for.”

Automobile recorders capture different kinds of information, he added.

“At this point we’re just trying to see what we have.”

Although many Via locomotives carry a front-end camera, this one hadn’t yet been equipped with one, he said.

“Unfortunately, this was one of the last ones to get changed over and that has happened yet.”

Johnston wouldn’t speculate about possible mechanical failures on the bus that might have been a factor.

“We’re doing a detailed and thorough analysis of that bus as we are with all the other facets in our investigation.”

He said it will take time to figure out why Woodard drove the crowded bus through a lowered safety barrier and into the flank of the locomotive just east of a small Via station in the western suburbs.

Witnesses said the northbound bus didn’t stop as lights flashed, bells rang and guard barriers dropped across the road at the approach of the train, which was slowing to stop at the sta-

tion a few hundred metres west.

Passengers on the bus frantically shouted “Stop! Stop!” seconds before the impact.

Colleagues have described Woodard as a conscientious driver and a good workmate.

The bus was on a transitway dedicated to bus traffic. The roadway remains closed, forcing transit buses onto regular streets and prompting warnings of schedule delays because of extra traffic.

The forlorn double-decker bus sat by the tracks Thursday, its shattered front end a glaring reminder of the devastating impact that sheared away steel and glass.

The site drew at least one survivor back for a second look.

Romi Gupta, a 40-year-old downtown office worker, returned with her husband to see it again.

She said she has neck and back pain and a wound on her arm as a result of the crash, but she shrugged off the pain.

“It’s nothing compared to what other people have been through,” she said.

sive national review to end violence against aboriginal women.

Canada was responding Thursday to the UN Human Rights Council, which is conducting its Universal Period Review of Canada’s rights record, on a wide range of issues from poverty, immigration, prostitution and the criminal justice system.

Countries have their rights records reviewed every four years by the Geneva-based UN forum, but the Harper government has been skeptical in part because it allows countries with dubious rights records to criticize Canada.

Canada’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Elissa Golberg, offered a brief rebuttal to Belarus, but did not engage directly with the other countries that criticized Canada.

Recommendations from those countries were among the 40 of 162 that Canada chose to reject.

That also included a rejection of a series of resolutions calling on Canada to undertake sweeping national reviews of violence against aboriginal women.

Low was a global expert in flesheating disease — necrotizing fasciitis — caused by group A Streptococcus.

He was also an early and passionate champion of the need to combat antibiotic resistance by prudent use of the precious drugs.

But it was through the 2003 SARS outbreak that he became a familiar face to Canadians. While he had no formal leadership role on the response team, his capacity to explain through the media to the public what was going on in the fast-moving outbreak made Low the face of Toronto’s SARS response.

Monseigneur Pierre-Andre Fournier, the head of the Assembly of Quebec Catholic Bishops, suggests the proposed charter could have unintended consequences.

He warns that, instead of a more secular Quebec, it could prompt more street protests and leave more women isolated at home in what he refers to as cultural “ghettos.”

Fournier told a news conference today in Trois-Rivieres that women will be the ones penalized the most — that under the PQ’s plan they would become less likely to integrate, along with their children.

The Catholic bishops of Quebec are not opposed to the overall idea of a values charter, but they want some changes.

Fournier said in an interview that there are many grey aspects of the proposed charter and the bishops want to make it better to make sure the state respects religion.

The Quebec bishops support the plan’s five criteria for minority accommodations, but are against the part of the charter that issues a broad ban on government workers wearing visible religious symbols.

Rules versus mercy POPE WARNS CHURCH MUST FIND BALANCE BETWEEN THE TWO OR ‘FALL LIKE A HOUSE OF CARDS’

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has warned that the Catholic Church’s moral structure might “fall like a house of cards” if it doesn’t balance its divisive rules about abortion, gays and contraception with the greater need to make it a merciful, more welcoming place for all.

Six months into his papacy, Francis set out his vision for the church and his priorities as pope in a lengthy and remarkably blunt interview with La Civilta Cattolica, the Italian Jesuit magazine. It was published simultaneously Thursday in Jesuit journals in 16 countries, including America magazine in the U.S. In the 12,000-word article, Francis expands on his ground-breaking comments over the summer about gays and acknowledges some of his own faults. He sheds light on his favourite composers, artists, authors and films and says he prays even while at the dentist’s office.

But his vision of what the church should be stands out, primarily because it contrasts so sharply with many of the priorities of his immediate predecessors, John Paul II and Benedict XVI. They were both intellectuals for whom doctrine was paramount, an orientation that guided the selection of a generation of bishops and cardinals around the globe.

Francis said the dogmatic and the moral teachings of the church were not all equivalent.

“The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently,” Francis said. “We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.”

Rather, he said, the Catholic Church must be like a “field hospital after battle,” healing the wounds of its faithful and going out to find those who have been hurt, excluded or have fallen away.

“It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars!” Francis said. “You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.”

“The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules,” he lamented.

“The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you. And the ministers of the church must be ministers of mercy above all.”

The admonition is likely to have sharp reverberations in the United States, where some bishops have already publicly voiced dismay that Francis hasn’t hammered home church teaching on abortion, contraception and homosexuality — areas of the culture wars where U.S. bishops often put themselves on the front lines. U.S. bishops were also behind Benedict’s

crackdown on American nuns, who were accused of letting doctrine take a backseat to their social justice work caring for the poor — precisely the priority that Francis is endorsing.

Just last week, Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, said in an interview with his diocesan newspaper that he was “a little bit disappointed” that Francis hadn’t addressed abortion since being elected.

Francis acknowledged that he had been “reprimanded” for not speaking out on such issues. But he said he didn’t need to.

“We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. This is not possible,” he said. “The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.”

Francis, the first Jesuit to become pope, was interviewed by Civilta Cattolica’s editor, the Rev. Antonio Spadaro, over three days in August at the Vatican hotel where Francis chose to live rather than the papal apartments. The Vatican vets all content of the journal, and the pope approved the Italian version of the article.

Nothing Francis said indicates any change in church teaching. But he has set a different tone and signalled new priorities compared to Benedict and John Paul.

VALDAI, Russia — Russia has strong grounds to believe that Syrian rebels were responsible for the country’s chemical attack, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.

Speaking at a conference, Putin said “we have every reason to believe that it was a provocation, a sly and ingenious one.” He added, however, that its perpetrators have relied on “primitive” technology, using old Soviet-made ammunition no longer in the Syrian army’s inventory.

The U.S., Britain, France and others believe that a report by U.N. inspectors has proven the attack was conducted by the Syrian military. The U.N. report released Monday confirmed that chemical weapons were used in the attack, but did not ascribe blame.

Putin expressed optimism when asked whether he trusts Syrian President Bashar Assad to fulfil Russia’s plan for Syria to surrender its chemical weapons and avoid a U.S. strike. He said Damascus’ actions so far have given reason to believe the initiative will be implemented.

“I can’t be 100 per cent sure that we will bring it to the end, but what we have seen in the past few days has given us confidence that it will be accomplished,” Putin said.

He insisted that Russia strongly opposed a U.S. attack on Syria because it would violate basic principles of international law and undermine the U.N. role, not because it was trying to keep Assad in power.

“We don’t have some exclusive interests in Syria which we would seek to protect by defending the current government,” Putin said.

“We are striving to preserve the principles of international law.”

He said during his discussions with Western leaders they have failed to answer his question about what the West would do if al-Qaidalinked militants finally unseat Assad.

“What sense does it make to launch a strike if you don’t know how it will end?” Putin said.

Mali celebrates inauguration WAR ON ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS WON: FRENCH PRESIDENT

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAMAKO, Mali — French President Francois Hollande declared Thursday the war against Islamic extremists had been won in Mali, though he vowed to keep French forces in the West African country as long as the threat exists.

Hollande spoke before more than a dozen heads of state at inauguration festivities for Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, who overwhelmingly won the election that France urged Mali to hold only months after the radical jihadists had been largely ousted from power in northern Mali.

“We have won this war; we have chased out the terrorists; we have secured the north and finally ... we have, you have organized an uncontested election and the winner is now the president of Mali,” Hollande told the crowd gathered at a sports stadium in the Malian capital.

“If there had not been an intervention, today the terrorists would be here in Bamako,” he said.

Later at a news conference held in Mali’s capital, Hollande pledged that French forces would continue to aid the Malian military “so long as the threat exists.” He also vowed to continue pursuing the six French hostages who are being held by al-Qaida’s North Africa branch.

“We should seek to do all that we

Top court confirms 15-year sex abuse term for priest BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentina’s Supreme Court has upheld the 15-year prison sentence of a priest convicted of sexually abusing a boy in his “Happy Children Foundation.”

Father Julio Cesar Grassi has maintained his innocence and he’s been able to live for a decade in a home across the street from the foundation despite allegations that he abused more than a dozen children there.

All but one charge was dismissed for lack of evidence, but the courts still found him guilty of abusing one boy.

The victim’s attorney, Juan Pablo Gallego, called for Grassi to be put behind bars quickly now that his conviction is confirmed.

Several Islamic militant groups were able to seize control of northern Mali in the aftermath of a March 2012 coup in the distant capital of Bamako.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia laments that a planned meeting in Cuba with a delegation of Colombian lawmakers has not yet taken place.

President Juan Manuel Santos’ chief negotiator says the guerrillas are creating distractions with “an excess of rhetoric” on matters that have nothing to do with the discussions.

Nevertheless, rebel and government representatives said Thursday that talks are set to resume Oct. 3.

As they threatened to push further south, France launched a military operation in January that was joined by soldiers from a number of neighbouring countries. The Jihadists retreated from major centres in the north including Timbuktu and Gao. However, some analysts cast doubt on Hollande’s claim of victory.

There are “persistent reports that

jihadists have either started filtering back into Mali or never left,” said Andrew Lebovich, an analyst who focuses on political and security issues in the Sahel and North Africa.

“While the French intervention reversed the jihadist push south, significantly degraded the capacity of regional terrorist groups to operate in Mali and killed or scattered a large number of fighters and commanders, it is a stretch to say that the war is won,” he said.

Hollande also addressed questions Thursday about why France had intervened militarily in Mali but not in Syria. Mali’s president had asked for French help, Hollande said, adding: “each situation is different.”

Keita formally took the oath of office two weeks ago as was required by the country’s constitution. On Thursday, Malians in their finest suits and traditional gowns poured into a sports stadium for the festivities, fanning themselves with programs in the heat and shading themselves with umbrellas.

The new president entered the stadium standing in the back of a military jeep draped in Malian flags, wearing a yellow sash accented in the other colours of the national flag — red and green. Throngs of soldiers ran alongside his vehicle, holding hands to form a barricade against well-wishers approaching him.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s only Jewish lawmaker said Thursday that he will be part of President Hasan Rouhani’s delegation to the United Nations next week, a first for the Islamic Republic.

Siamak Moreh Sedgh, who represents Iran’s Jewish community in the country’s parliament, told The Associated Press that he will accompany Rouhani on his visit to New York. Moreh Sedgh said he is just waiting for his U.S. visa.

Moreh Sedgh, 48, has represented his community in parliament since 2012.

This represents the first time the Iranian president will be accompanied by a Jewish lawmaker to the UN. The move is seen as fulfilling Rouhani’s promise to give a bigger role in governance to minorities in the country.

It also is a stark contrast from Rouhani’s predecessor, former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who prompted international outcry by repeatedly denying the Holocaust took place while also calling for the destruction of Israel.

Chiefs clip Eagles in Reid’s return to Philly

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Chiefs 26 Eagles 16 PHILADELPHIA — The look was strange: Andy Reid in all red on the visitors’ sideline.

The result was similar to what he gave Philadelphia in his 14 years in charge of the Eagles.

Reid’s homecoming was a smashing success for the new Kansas City coach thanks to a dynamic defence that forced five turnovers and sacked a harried Michael Vick six times in the Chiefs’ 26-16 victory Thursday night.

“Yeah, it was different,” Reid said. “I was on the opposite side of the field than I normally am at. But I can’t tell you that I was caught up in that part of it.”

Vick even limped off with 1:07 to go after the final sack and fumble, but stayed around to hug Reid following the final play — just after Donnie Avery gave Reid a Gatorade shower on the sideline.

“It was great to see the players that are here,” Reid admitted. “I had a chance to talk to them after the game.”

Kansas City, which has not had a giveaway in opening 3-0, has won one more game already than it did in 2012 — when it earned the first overall draft pick, then hired Reid days after he was fired on the heels of Philly’s 4-12 finish.

The usually stoic Reid showed some fire to match his bright red outfit late in the first half when he thought the Chiefs got a bad spot.

He came out to the hash mark to yell at the officials, then walked off at halftime still gesturing his displeasure.

That was far more emotion than he displayed when he entered the stadium with the Chiefs just before kickoff. Although the Philly fans gave him a warm ovation, some standing in tribute to the man who won 140 games and six division titles for them, Reid walked briskly along the sideline, never turning his gaze toward the stands.

But he later said he recognized the tribute.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is tackled by Philadelphia Eagles strong safety Nate Allen during the first half of an NFL game, Thursday, in Philadelphia. The Chiefs forced five turnovers and sacked Eagles quarterback Michael Vick six times on their way to a 26-16 win over the Eagles in Chief’s head coach Andy Reid’s first game back in Philadelphia.

Bombers making changes going into rematch with Eskimos WINNIPEG — Jovon Johnson isn’t surprised it’s his turn to be pulled into the upside-down world that’s been the struggling Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ 2013 season.

The CFL’s top defensive player in 2011 will switch from cornerback to safety when Winnipeg (2-9) hosts the Edmonton Eskimos (2-9) on Friday night.

Injuries are also forcing two new offensive linemen who began practising Tuesday to make their CFL debuts in the battle between the league’s two worst teams.

Edmonton snapped an eight-game losing streak last weekend with a 25-7

home win over the Bombers.

“I’ve been in the defence probably longer than all of our coaches so I know what’s going on, I know the defence inside and out,” Johnson said after Thursday’s walkthrough. “It makes more sense to move me to safety and switch one guy versus moving three guys that are all rookies into different spots and having them learn new jobs on the fly.”

Johnson, who hasn’t played safety since November 2011, replaces the injured Cauchy Muamba (ankle). Defensive back Marty Markett will move to Johnson’s corner spot.

Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed predicted Johnson will do just fine with his new role.

“Jovon is a very cerebral football

player,” Reed said. “I know he’ll be able to make all the checks.

“He’s more explosive than people think and he’s very instinctive. And those are a lot of the qualities of a free safety.”

After injuries to veteran offensive tackles Glenn January and Shannon Boatman, the Bombers brought in Americans Dan Knapp and Jarvis Jones and they’ll see action at right and left tackle, respectively.

“It’s strange but I’m actually excited about it,” said Knapp, who played in four NFL exhibition games last year with the Oakland Raiders.

The biggest differences Knapp must adjust to are the new rules and defences lining up a yard off the ball.

“It’s something I’ve got to adjust to,

but I’ve been playing this game since the sixth grade,” he said. “It comes natural, to a certain extent.”

Edmonton defensive ends Marcus Howard and Odell Willis will try to take advantage of the newcomers.

“Hopefully I can and hopefully I do because if I don’t the guys will get on me,” Howard said.

Howard noted he joined the Eskimos three years ago on a Wednesday and got into the lineup two days later because of an injury to current Bomber Greg Peach.

Willis said there may be a few CFL “tricks” they can throw at Knapp and Jones, but he doesn’t expect the newcomers to be too out of sync.

Stenson can’t miss in opening round

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PGA TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

ATLANTA — Henrik Stenson changed his attitude and chose a different target at the Tour Championship.

Instead of smashing a driver and a locker, he demolished the front nine at East Lake on Thursday with a five birdies over a six-hole stretch that carried him to a 6-under 64 and a one-shot lead over Masters champion Adam Scott.

It was a big turnaround from Monday at Conway Farms, not only on his scorecard but between the ears.

“I just needed to realize the world is a good place again,” Stenson said.

Stenson was playing his seventh tournament in 10 weeks when the BMW Championship was extended a day by rain. He slammed his driver so hard into the ground on the final hole that the head snapped off, and then he took out his frustrations on his wooden locker at Conway Farms.

Playing all 18 holes at East Lake for the first time, it looked like he couldn’t miss. On the opening seven holes, he had only one iron shot outside 10 feet, and he converted five of them for birdie.

“I really knew I had to be in a good frame of mind coming out there if I wanted to play good golf this week,” he said. “As some of you noticed, I wasn’t that on Monday when I finished up in Chicago. So it was a good turnaround mentally. I stayed very levelheaded — kept the head on, both myself and drivers, and played a great round of golf.”

Tiger Woods didn’t make a thing.

Woods missed a short birdie putt on his opening hole that set the tone for the day. He was the only player in the 30-man field to go without a birdie. On the par 5s, Woods three-putted for par on No. 9 and missed a putt just inside 10 feet on No. 15.

It was only the seventh time in his PGA Tour career — and third time at East Lake — that he went an entire round without a birdie. Woods shot a 73, matching his highest opening round of the year. He walked past reporters without comment.

Scott did his damage on the back nine, making six birdies in seven holes for a 29 that had him tied for the lead until Stenson finished off his remarkable round with a 5-iron from 223 yards to 4 feet for birdie on the par-3 closing hold.

“It was a tale of two nines, there’s no doubt,” Scott said. “I missed three greens with wedges on the front nine and wasted all my chances to score. I hit two good shots into 10 and rolled a putt in, which calmed me down. And then I just went and played, and played the way I felt I could.”

Stenson, the No. 2 seed and the hottest player in golf over the last three months, and Scott (No. 3) only have to win the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup and the $10 million prize. Even more is at stake for Scott, who would be a strong candidate for PGA Tour player of the year if he were to win this week. That would give him three wins, compared with five wins for Woods, though Scott would have a major and the FedEx Cup.

“There haven’t been too many guys who have been in the position the last 12 years to even warrant thinking about it,” Scott said. “So it’s an opportunity that might not come along too often. I’m going to be working hard to try and make my case for it.”

More than feeling better about his attitude, Stenson was helped by feeling no pain in his left wrist.

He suspects he slept it on wrong last weekend, and it reached a point where it hurt to hold a toothbrush. He played only nine holes of practice — the front nine — on Tuesday and iced his wrist and took anti-inflammatories. It seemed to have worked.

The biggest change was his attitude.

Stenson is known for public displays of frustrations — remember that poor tee marker at Carnoustie in 2007? — but this was peculiar because he had just won the Deutsche Bank Championship in his previous tournament. That capped off an amazing summer that began with four straight tournaments in the top 3, including two majors and a World Golf Championship. He said he apologized to the club and told the locker room attendants to keep in contact, presumably so he can pay for the repairs.

Why so much anger so soon?

“I can tell you don’t have much experience with Swedes, do you?” Stenson said, handling it with his dry humour.

“No, I’ll tell you I’ve always been a bit of a hothead, and I just haven’t been able to get any rest. I was looking forward to that Monday back home and lying on the couch — the kids in school and me just doing nothing, and I ended up playing golf again on that Monday. I was just tired, and I pushed myself over the edge there.”

Oilers commit huge to the Nuge SIGN RYAN NUGENT-HOPKINS TO SEVEN-YEAR EXTENSION WORTH $42 MILLION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have taken another step in locking up their young core by signing Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to a seven-year contract.

Nugent-Hopkins got US$42 million, the same amount the Oilers gave Taylor Hall on his seven-year deal. The $6-million cap hit is also the same as Jordan Eberle’s, making for uniformity among Edmonton’s top young forwards.

“We felt when we did the contracts with Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle, that at that point we knew we’d be doing a very similar, if not identical, contract to what we did with those players,” Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish told reporters. “This is just a reflection of how highly we hold Ryan within our organization.”

Nugent-Hopkins underwent surgery on his left shoulder April 23 to repair a torn labrum. He’s currently skating but has been non-commital about being ready in time for the start of the NHL season.

But that doesn’t concern MacTavish.

“During the term of this contract I feel very strongly he’s going to outperform the number on the contract,” he said. “I don’t know when that’s going to happen but I anticipate it will happen pretty soon during the length of this contract.”

Predictably, Nugent-Hopkins is very pleased to have the deal done. His extension starts in the 201415 season.

“I definitely want to come back and play my best whenever I am ready to play,” he said. “I’m just happy to be here, to be locked up for the next so many years.

“It’s going to be great.”

Nugent-Hopkins downplayed the significance of his cap hit being the same as Hall’s and Eberle’s.

“I don’t think any of us really worried about it too much,” he said. “Once you get on the ice you kind of forget about all that stuff and you just want to go out there and play and perform the best for the team.

“Obviously having all three of us the same is not going to cause any problems even though it wouldn’t anyway. It’s definitely exciting for all of us.”

But Nugent-Hopkins said his first goal is to get to the point physically where he can play.

“Obviously my first priority is getting healthy and making sure that I’m ready to play,” he said. “Getting the contract done now is definitely a positive thing.

“It’s something I don’t have to worry about and something that’s not on my mind, not even a little bit.

I just want to get back healthy and get back to playing.”

MacTavish said he never approached Hall and/ or Eberle during his contract talks with NugentHopkins.

Nugent-Hopkins, the first pick in the 2011 draft, has 22 goals and 54 assists in 102 career NHL games.

He had four goals and 20 points in 40 games last season.

“I thought last year I definitely didn’t put up the points that I wanted to,” he said. “I thought I made some steps in my defensive zones.

“I want to put everything together this year and make sure I have a great year.”

MacTavish said the organization has no concerns about Nugent-Hopkins’ shoulder.

“No, zero,” he said. “We’ve had lots of success with that procedure in the past.

“His surgery is solid and there’s a good history to lead us to believe and have every confidence that there won’t be a problem going forward.”

The Oilers have just over $41 million of salarycap commitments to 10 players for next season. That does not include a new deal for defenceman Justin Schultz.

DALLAS STARS

FRISCO, Texas — Young left wing Jamie Benn has been appointed captain of the Dallas Stars.

General manager Jim Nill and coach Lindy Ruff announced Benn’s appointment Thursday as the sixth captain in Dallas Stars history.

Benn succeeds Brenden Morrow, the Stars captain from 2006 until getting traded to Pittsburgh last March.

Nill says the 24-year-old Benn has “in a very short period of time” gone from being an exciting up-andcoming NHL player to a franchise cornerstone.

Benn has spent all four of his NHL seasons with the Stars. He led the team with 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists) in 41 games last season.

He has 193 points in 263 career games, and was an All-Star in 2012.

Previous Dallas captains were Mike Modano, Derian Hatcher, Neal Broten and Mark Tinordi.

Kings play Vikings to a tie

WHL ROUNDUP

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — The Swift Current Broncos’ wellrounded defence started the Western Hockey League season off with a bang.

Coda Gordon and Julius Honka had a goal and two assists each as Swift Current crushed the Regina Pats 7-2 in the season opener for both teams.

Brycen Martin and Connor Sanvido had powerplay goals for the Broncos (1-0-0), while Dillon Heatherington, Zac Mackay and Tanner LeSann also scored. Geordie Maguire scored both of Regina’s (0-1-0) goals.

Landon Bow made 25 saves for the win. Dawson MacAuley played the first two periods for the Pats, stopping 13-of-18 shots. Teagan Sacher turned aside 4-of-6 shots in the third.

Both teams had discipline problems throughout the game. Swift Current had 39 minutes of penalties, while Regina racked up 31.

BRIEFS Raiders double up on Lightning in high school volleyball The host Lindsay Thurber Raiders won both the boys’ and girls’ contests against the Hunting Hills Lightning in Central Alberta High School 4A Volleyball League play Thursday.

The Raiders won 25-20, 25-16, 30-32, 25-12 in girls’ action and 25-15, 25-10, 25-17 in boys’ play.

Both LTCHS squads will compete in the Harry Ainlay Titans tournament in Edmonton this weekend. ● In JV girls’ play Notre Dame defeated Hunting Hills 3-0.

Kings open Challenge Cup volleyball tournament with a win The RDC Kings opened the Challenge Cup men’s volleyball tournament Thursday with a 3-0 win over the College of the Rockies from Cranbrook.

The Kings, who are the defending national silver medalists, won 25-17, 25-18, 25-13 and face the defending PacWest champion Capilano College of North Vancouver tonight at 8 p.m. They meet Vancouver Island University of Nanaimo at 1 p.m. and Douglas College of New Westminster at 8 p.m.

Saturday.

“It was a solid match to kick things off for us and we were able to get a lot of guys some quality playing time,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha. “I think Cranbrook will be better as the tournament goes on as they travelled all day and got off the bus and played.”

SAIT, Briercrest Bible College and Medicine Hat are the other ACAC teams in the eight-team tournament, which sees the ACAC playing the PacWest from B.C. The conference with the most wins, wins the tournament.

RDC HOCKEY

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Kings 3 Vikings 3 PENHOLD — The RDC Kings will see a lot of the University of Alberta, Augustana Vikings in the next eight days, meeting twice to open the Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League regular season next week.

And if the end of Thursday’s exhibition contest between the two is any indication there will be more than a few hard feelings when they meet Wednesday in Camrose and Friday in Penhold.

The teams battled to a 3-3 draw at the Penhold Regional Multiplex in a game that concluded with a fight between RDC’s Brett Wold and Dean Prpick of Camrose.

The hard-feelings came to a head in the five-minute overtime when RDC forward Riley Point was laid out with a cheap shot to the head.

“It was an elbow to the head, but all three of the officials said they didn’t see it, so what can you do,” said Kings head coach Trevor Keeper.

“We took a penalty later, but I don’t mind. The guys fought back and stood up for each other.”

Point, a five-foot-nine forward from Calgary, appeared to be OK following the game, although Keeper wouldn’t say if he’ll play at the SAIT tournament this weekend.

The Kings face Thompson Rivers University of Kamloops today and Simon Fraser University of Vancouver Saturday.

The Kings jumped into an early 2-0 lead against the more experienced Vikings, with Riley Simpson connecting just eight seconds into the game and Alex Marcinew scoring at 1:28.

REBELS: Youth mistakes “A lot of the negative things that occurred during the exhibition games were due to youth mistakes,” added Sutter, in reference to a bevy of goals allowed in wins over Edmonton and Medicine Hat. “That’s all part of development . . . those mistakes are going to happen.

“Now we as coaches have to teach and the players have to be good students of the game. They have to learn from each other, while they’re on the bench watching the game. They have to learn from what other players are doing, that’s all part of it. We want to be a smart team and you can become a smart player by watching and paying attention.”

And, as has always been the case with a Suttercoached team, the first-timers and veterans alike will earn their stripes by displaying an admirable work ethic.

“We have to compete and play hard if we want to be a contending team every night,” he noted.

“There’s a certain way the coaching staff wants this group to play and we have to play that way. If someone isn’t willing to do that, he won’t be in the lineup, it’s that simple.”

The Rebels were pushed around by the larger Calgary Hitmen during a second-round playoff ouster last spring. The Calgary crew hasn’t shrunk overnight and currently has to be considered as perhaps the team to beat in the entire conference; therefore Sutter will insist that his team display as much sandpaper as polish this season.

“We have to forge an identity here, a culture,” he insisted.

It’s a long season, but the sooner their WHL opponents view the Rebels in the same light, as say, a severe pain in the butt, the better. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Forechecking them hard and creating turnovers and the guys did just that,” said Keeper. “We were rewarded a little quicker than we anticipated and sometimes when you jump into an early lead it’s human nature to relax a bit and we did just that.”

The Vikings came back to narrow the gap to 2-1 with Jeff Lorenz scoring at 8:07 of the first period.

The Vikings took the lead in the second period as fifth-year forward Scott Aucion scored at 6:27 and Zaine Walker at 15:35.

“We played OK in the second period, but we did allow them to get back in it and take the lead,” said Keeper, who saw the team regroup in the third.

Pat Martens scored on the power play at 1:51 of the third period to pull the Kings even and they held the edge the rest of the way outshooting the Vikings 12-8 in the period. Both teams had a couple of excellent chances in the over time.

2-point conversion on tight end Zach Ertz’s run that failed.

The takeaways kept the Chiefs in front. And after Avery turned a short pass into a 51-yard gain thanks to sloppy Eagles tackling, Succop made a 31-yard field goal. He kicked a 34-yarder moments later after another turnover, Sean Smith’s interception, for a 166 halftime edge.

Avery had a big night, finishing with seven catches for 141 yards.

Alex Henery’s 29-yard field goal was the only scoring of a sloppy third period, and when Jamaal Charles surged around right end for a 3-yard TD early in the fourth quarter, Reid’s return was a rousing success. Not even LeSean McCoy’s 41-yard TD run with 11:36 remaining could spoil that.

CFL: Quarterback carousel “Even though they’re two new tackles, I don’t think this will be their first time playing football,” Willis said.

Knapp and Jones will have the task of helping protect starter Max Hall, another change from last week’s roster.

For those trying to keep track of Winnipeg’s quarterback carousel, former Bomber Buck Pierce (traded to B.C. on Sept. 8 for receiver Akeem Foster) started the club’s first four games before being injured. Justin Goltz then started two games, Hall the two after that before Goltz returned to start the last three contests.

The six-foot-four Foster will also play his first game for the Bombers, replacing injured receiver Cory Watson.

Bombers head coach Tim Burke said Hall was projected to be the No. 1

“I appreciate the fans and the support they gave me,” he said. “That was kind of them.”

He certainly had to like much of what he saw on the field from his defence, particularly Houston.

It was offensive master Reid’s defence and special teams that set the tone and put his team ahead early, silencing the sea of green at the Linc. The Chiefs forced four first-half turnovers and Houston had three of their four sacks. He had another half-sack to start the second half, off a bad snap to Vick, and the last one when he forced Vick to fumble with 1:34 remaining. Houston has 7 ½ sacks in three games.

“We got the push from the guys inside and that made it easier for the guys outside to get in there and get after him,” Houston said.

Damaris Johnson’s muffed punt return gave Kansas City the ball at the Eagles 8, leading to Ryan Succop’s 33-yard field goal for a quick 3-0 lead. Derrick Johnson then deflected Vick’s ill-advised throw into the flat and Eric Berry picked it off, going 38 yards with the first interception of the year for the Philly quarterback.

There would be more mistakes as Philadelphia (12) lost its eighth straight home game.

But first, after falling behind 10-0, Vick got the Eagles’ no-huddle, fast-tempo offence going with the longest run of his 12-year career. He burst up the middle, shook off two attempted tackles and sped 61 yards. Two plays later, it was his arm doing the damage. Under a heavy rush, he stood in and led Jason Avant perfectly in the left corner of the end zone for a 22-yard score.

That three-play, 87-yard spurt epitomized the fastpaced offence coach Chip Kelly brought from Oregon in replacing Reid. But Kelly got cute, going for a

“We talked during the second intermission about having a strong third period, which is something we want every game,” said Keeper.

“We did just that. We had a lot of opportunities to win the game, even in the over time. I was happy with that.”

Keeper was also pleased with the way the defence picked up their pace.

“They needed to make quicker decisions,” he said. “We had some inexperience back there, and we needed to keep our heads up and react quicker. Our defensive coaches Erik Lodge and Cody Reynolds, addressed that and talked about making a quick first pass out of our end and then supporting the offence.”

Kraymer Barnstable made 29 saves in goal for RDC and like his teammates seemed to get stronger as the game wore on.

“He hasn’t played much and has a few kinks to iron out, but got better

toward the end,” added Keeper. “He made sure the pucks coming off his pads were going into the corners and handling rebounds better.”

The Kings have played two exhibition games and have the two at SAIT to finish off the preseason.

“It’s good to have these games as it gives the goaltenders a chance to get ready for the season, in fact it gives everyone a chance to iron out a few kinks, making sure we’re making the right decisions and playing consistent hockey.” ● The Kings finished with 17 shots on Vikings starting netminder Andy Williams while Chase Martin faced 19 shots . . .

quarterback prior to being injured in Winnipeg’s 37-14 road loss to Hamilton, just two plays into his second career start. But then, Goltz did relatively well in relief.

Since Hall replaced a struggling Goltz in last weekend’s game and showed flashes of being able to move the offence, Burke wants to see if he can do so for the remainder of the season.

“I hope so,” Burke said. “That would be great.”

He added Jason Boltus will back up Hall ahead of Goltz.

Winnipeg is last in the CFL in scoring (224 points), first downs (174) and passing (2,237 yards), secondlast in fumbles (20) and fifth in rushing (1,029 yards).

Having newcomers Knapp and Jones on the line isn’t a big concern for Hall.

“Physically, they’re both good players,” Hall said.

“They’re very capable guys.

“I’ll trust they’ll play well. I have to. I can’t worry about it. I can’t look at the rush. I have to go through my reads and trust those guys will do it.”

Edmonton’s offence is tied with Montreal for second-last in scoring (259 points), ranked sixth in first downs (204), third in rushing (1,162 yards) and has a league-low 12 fumbles.

The Eskimos’ roster remains basically intact since last week and the offence will again be spearheaded by quarterback Mike Reilly. Reilly was named the CFL’s offensive player of the week after completing 16-of-25 passes for 196 yards and three touchdowns while rushing nine times for a career-high 113 yards versus Winnipeg.

Reilly’s 530 rushing yards are tops among CFL quarterback and fifth overall.

“It’s something that’s worked to this point and anytime it’s available we’re going to use it,” Reilly said. “But I don’t think it’s something you want to use at the expense of taking away your pass plays.”

Jays play spoiler with win over Yankees Blue Jays 6 Yankees 2 TORONTO — After a long career in the minors, righthander Todd Redmond was given an opportunity by the Toronto Blue Jays this season.

The right-hander is taking advantage by showing with each start that he belongs in the big leagues.

Redmond threw a seasonhigh seven innings and allowed four hits and one earned run as Toronto defeated the New York Yankees 6-2 on Thursday night. Anthony Gose hit a solo shot and Adam Lind belted a three-run homer as the Blue Jays (70-82) won the rubber game of the threegame series in front of 32,003 fans at Rogers Centre.

The Yankees (80-73) fell 3 ½ games behind Texas and Tampa Bay in the race for the two American League wild-card spots.

Redmond (4-2) threw 69 of his 100 pitches for strikes and kept the ball down in the zone throughout the game. A solo shot by Curtis Granderson was his lone hiccup on the evening.

Redmond, 28, has won three straight decisions and has done a solid job since moving from the bullpen in early July to help a rotation that had been plagued by injuries and inconsistency.

“Things just worked out perfectly here for him,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons. “You know what, with everything we’ve been through, we’ve been looking for guys.

“That’s how careers and great stories are made.”

After spending parts of eight seasons in the minors, Redmond made his first ma-

jor-league start last August for the Cincinnati Reds. It was his only appearance for the team and Toronto later claimed him off waivers last March.

He spent some time at triple-A Buffalo and has been a steady presence since being called up by the Blue Jays.

Redmond has allowed two earned runs or less in six of his last nine starts.

“He doesn’t give in, nothing rattles him,” Gibbons said.

“He’s a lot like (Mark) Buehrle from the right side. They’ve got the same mental approach.

They just compete, good, bad or ugly. They don’t back down from anything. They take the ball.

“You need more of those guys in this game if you’re going to win anything.”

Redmond said he’s always been confident, he was just waiting for his shot.

“I just know my ability, I knew I was capable of doing it,” he said. “I’ve gone through the minors and I got the chance and now I’m just trying to go with it and run with it.”

His statistics are improving with every outing. Redmond has struck out 16 batters over his last three starts while issuing just one walk and his earned-run average is down to 3.89.

“They claimed me off waivers for a reason,” he said. “I guess they saw something in me to actually claim me. After getting claimed by the Orioles (in February 2012) and then claimed here, they saw something and I’m glad they did.”

Sergio Santos relieved Redmond and worked a perfect eighth inning. The Yankees loaded the bases in the ninth before Casey Janssen came on for the final two outs to pick up his 32nd save.

Toronto Blue Jays’ Jose Reyes gets caught in a rundown against New York Yankees’ Mark Reynolds, right, during the first inning of MLB action in Toronto, Thursday.

The Blue Jays improved to 5-3 at home against the Yankees this season but were a dismal 0-10 in New York.

“The way the year has gone here, we’re looking for some satisfaction and two out of three against them is nice,” Gibbons said. “Especially the way they’ve been beating us like a drum all year long. So we like to inflict our own version of pain somehow.”

Hiroki Kuroda (11-12) allowed eight hits and three earned runs over six innings for the Yankees, who are seeing their post-season hopes fade with each defeat.

Jones’ star shining bright ahead of UFC 165 title defence LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TALKS UP FAITH, SPONSORS AND BEATING ALEXANDER GUSTAFSSON

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A smiling Jon (Bones) Jones walked on to a makeshift stage Thursday to confront underdog challenger Alexander (The Mauler) Gustafsson.

Always thinking of a new angle, Jones was wielding a smartphone in front of him. His view of the square-off would soon be posted on Instagram, the UFC light-heavyweight champion told the media in front of him.

Jones (18-1) took to social media soon after, managing to squeeze a biblical verse, Nike and Gatorade into the same tweet.

“There is nothing special about me, I just work extremely hard,” he wrote.

“Anything can happen.”

A picture below showed a smiling Jones, a Nike swoosh prominent on his hoodie, pointing to a bottle of Gatorade — his latest sponsor. To further make his point, he added Phillipians 4:13 and the hashtags for both companies.

Fighter, man of faith and six-footfour, 205-pound billboard, Jones is currently the brightest star in mixed martial arts.

“His life doesn’t suck, right,” UFC president Dana White said dryly. “He’s got a lot to be happy about.”

A victory at UFC 165 Saturday and Jones will set the record for most consecutive title defences (six) in UFC light-heavyweight history.

He already holds the record for most submissions (five) by a lightheavyweight and is tied for most finishes (nine).

A former junior college wrestling champion with an 84.5-inch reach, Jones’ size and length make him hard to penetrate and tough to defend.

At 6-5, Gustafsson (15-1) is one inch taller and has good striking skills. But while the 26-year-old Swede has won his last six fights, he hasn’t faced the kind of opposition that Jones has.

The bookies have made Jones anywhere from a 9-1 to 20-1 favourite to beat Gustafsson.

White usually dismisses such odds.

But he was slightly more circumspect Thursday.

“I think that they’re making lines that they don’t want a lot of money going on Jones because they think Jones is going to win. That’s the way the book works,” said White, no stranger to the betting window.

“Jones is good, really good.”

About the only people who believe Gustafsson can win are those in the challengers’ camp, although most pundits are quick to cover themselves by saying it’s a sport where anything can happen.

Gustafsson, a lanky likable Swede with battered ears, doesn’t think he is being disrespected.

“Not at all. I don’t takes anything personally. I don’t read too much. I don’t think too much. I’m going to go in there and shock the world on Saturday,” he said.

“I’m more than prepared,” he added. “I can’t wait to get in there. I’m just living the dream right now. I’ve got a one in a lifetime shot and I’m going to do the best of it.”

Jones, 26, believes this defence will go the way of all the others.

“I think I have a lot more tools in this fight to win the fight,” he said.

“I’m going to do all kinds of unpredictable spinning elbows, flying knees, shots, fake shots, all types of stuff,” he added. “He really needs to be on his game.”

Jones seemed less than impressed

by Gustafsson’s striking, saying he’s not fighting a world boxing champion.

“I’m fighting a guy who throws punches,” he said. “Alexander’s boxing defence, I’ve said it a lot of times now, is not that good ... He’s a good puncher, he has pretty good footwork.

Not a great boxer.”

When the Swede stood next to Jones in front of photographers, he couldn’t resist putting his arm behind the champion so he could touch the shiny championship belt slung over his shoulder.

A smiling Jones pulled away. “That’s as close as you’re going to get,” he said.

Jones joins welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre under the Gatorade flag. The Montreal MMA star has blazed the way with blue-chip sponsorships including Under Armour.

It’s a long way from fighters advertising the local gun shop.

Jones can be forgiven for Thursday’s blatant plug in that his deal with Gatorade had only been announced hours before. Jones will wear the Gatorade logo on his shorts when he walks into the cage Saturday night against the Swede.

Chances are he will wear a Nike T-shirt on his walk through the Air Canada Centre. Jones, who signed with Nike in August 2012, wore a “Bones Knows” Nike shirt at UFC 152 in Toronto last fall.

As for Phillippians 4:13, Jones always wears that. It is tattooed on his chest. It references the verse “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

Gustafsson’s ink is all about winning. He adds a shark’s tooth tattoo on his arm for every win.

Jones was the picture of calm Thursday as media swarmed around him.

White says he has adjusted to life as champion, pulling back from going down the wrong path in the wake of a DUI charge after a May 2012 incident that saw him crash his Bentley in upstate New York.

“Everything changes when you’re the champion,” White said. “Obviously the attention, the money, everybody’s gunning after you. There’s a lot of pressure.

“Jon Jones has really turned around and changed his life in the last year.

He’s a young guy, he got that belt, you saw what happens when fame and money and all that stuff starts to come together. I’m really happy with the way he’s turned around.”

“There’s only so many ‘Get ’em tomorrows’ left,” said third baseman Mark Reynolds.

“We’re going to keep fighting and see where we are.”

Gose, who had three of Toronto’s 10 hits, restored the Blue Jays’ two-run lead in the sixth inning with his second homer of the year. Lind followed an inning later with a rainbow shot, his 22nd homer of the season, off Joba Chamberlain.

Notes: Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera, who is retiring at the end of the year, was presented with a soapstone carving made by Inuit sculp-

tor David Ruben Piqtoukun before the game. A video montage was played during the presentation and Rivera received a $10,000 donation to his charitable foundation.

“He’s a class act,” Gibbons said before the game. “He carries himself like a champ.” ...

The roof was open at Rogers Centre. The game took two hours 53 minutes to play. ...

The Blue Jays closed out the nine-game homestand with a 3-6 record. ... Toronto will kick off a three-game weekend series in Boston on Friday night.

Esmil Rogers (5-7) is scheduled to start for the Blue Jays.

RED DEER ROVERS INDOOR SOCCER The Red Deer Rovers Football Club have been awarded a franchise to play in the Calgary United Soccer Association’s Indoor Major Soccer League for the 2013-14 season.

It marks the return of a Red Deer team to the top tier of amateur soccer in the province for the first time since the Red Deer Renegades men’s team was relegated from the Alberta Major (outdoor) Soccer League in 2008.

The Calgary league includes several of the top teams in Canada, including the Calgary Callies, who have won four Canadian titles in the last 15 years, and the University of Calgary Dinos.

The Rovers, in partnership with the Red Deer Renegades program, will allow up and coming youth players, an opportunity to stay in Red Deer to compete at a high level.

Former major league Renegades coach Steve Davies is the head coach with Kurt Jensen player/manager and Chris Davies player/assistant coach.

“We want to build a structure, so you can move ahead in the league then

look to have something coming through the system with youth players,” said Steve Davies in a news release.

“It’s a good start and it’s about time.”

“There’s always been a feeling that the players and skill level was here, but it was a matter of getting everyone to commit to playing and travelling together,” said Jensen. “It’s a lot of work and a big commitment to play at this level, but we’re ready and excited about it.”

The Rovers will have a roster of Central Alberta players, including players from the Central Alberta Men’s Soccer League and some RDC Kings, once their college season is over.

The Rovers will play the majority of their games on Sunday with all their games in Calgary.

The club will hold a kickoff party at Bo’s Bar and Grill, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m.

Anyone interested in playing or helping sponsor the team, can contact the Rovers at reddeerrovers@gmail.com or visit www.reddeerrovers.com.

Bettman highlights NHL Dodgers rally past D-backs to outdoor game at Soldier Field clinch NL West

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MLB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — The Los Angeles Dodgers soaked everyone in sight with champagne in the clubhouse. Many players raced back out for a celebratory dip in Arizona’s Chase Field swimming pool.

From last place to an NL West title in less than three months, they sure let loose.

Burdened by high expectations and a horrible start, the Dodgers relieved their pent-up pressure with a joyful celebration after becoming the first team this year to clinch a playoff spot. Hanley Ramirez homered twice as they rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 on Thursday.

“I want to keep going,” Ramirez said. “I think that we’ve got a couple of more steps to do. We’ve got to keep working and stay together all the way through to the end.”

Ramirez was back in the lineup after being sidelined five of six games with an irritated nerve in his lower back.

He’s played 1,090 regular-season games but will be making his first trip to the post-season.

Only three active players have played more games without making the playoffs.

Despite an NL-high payroll of $214 millionplus on opening day, the Dodgers got off to an 3042 start and were last in the division, 9 ½ games behind the first-place Diamondbacks, before play on June 22. Los Angeles has gone 58-23 since, including an unreal 42-8 run that coincided mostly with dynamic Cuban defector Yasiel Puig’s callup to the major leagues.

“I’m a guy that doesn’t show a lot of emotion,” manager Don Mattingly said. “I really try to keep it kind of even. But this is a great accomplishment for these guys. We put a great team together and a big payroll with huge expectations. A lot of time that falls apart and it had a chance to fall apart during the season, I thought.

“But the coaching staff stuck together.

These guys were loyal to me. There was no backbiting or somebody try-

Chicago Blackhawks’ Duncan Keith shoots a puck from the 40-yard line, 150 feet from the goal post, at Soldier Field as part of a promotion for the Stadium Series hockey game between the Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins next March, Thursday, in Chicago. said this week that NHL players will participate despite the law banning what Russia calls propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations.

“That’s not something we think is appropriate, to say the least,” Bettman said. “But in the final analysis, and I believe our players feel the same way, they’re going to go, to compete hard for their countries, because that’s important to them.

“I’m not sure it’s easy for sports to ever get involved with politics, but we have a responsibility to make clear that that’s not representative of what we believe is the right thing.”

The NHL partnered with You Can Play, a group started in April

by Philadelphia scout Patrick Burke, whose late brother Brendan was gay.

“When it comes to diversity and inclusiveness, I think our record has been very clear,” Bettman said.

While NHL players will travel to Sochi, he doesn’t foresee expansion to Europe, something that’s been occasionally considered for more than 30 years.

“It’s really hard to do, some of it logistics,” Bettman said. “We want to be good citizens in the institutional hockey world, but there is a growing interest throughout the world. That’s something we’re going to continue to try to satisfy.”

Some European-born NHL players have moved back to the continent, especially to the Russia-based Kontinental Hockey League. Ilya Kovalchuk, with New Jersey last season, returned to his homeland by signing with SKA St. Petersburg this summer.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Quick as can be, Usain Bolt is backtracking on his retirement plans.

Less than three weeks ago, the Olympic champion said he planned to stop sprinting after the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. But the Jamaican said on Thursday he was looking to extend his career by a year, meaning he could quit after the 2017 world championships in London.

“I am definitely reconsidering,” the 27-yearold Bolt said while in London on a book promotion tour. “I think my fans especially have really voiced their concern about me retiring.

“They think I should carry on and so do my sponsors. I have discussed it with my coach and he says it is possible.

We will see what happens but it’s on the cards that I will extend it by one more year.”

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are not in his thoughts.

“It’s a long way away, but if I win the next Olympics I will have done everything I wanted to do in my career,” Bolt said. “So there would be no reason to continue.”

Bolt won the 100, 200 and 4x100-meter relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and again at last year’s London Games. He won the same three golds at the 2009 worlds before repeating that feat in Moscow last month.

CHICAGO — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is a year removed from cancelling preseason games in the early stages of the league’s lockout of its players.

Now there are rising television ratings, along with participation in another Winter Olympics and settled ownership in Phoenix and New Jersey.

So where does the NHL go from here?

“We just want more of the same,” Bettman said Thursday at a promotion for the March 1 outdoor game between the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins at Soldier Field. “We want to continue to build off the foundation we have. The game on the ice is as strong as it’s ever been.

And we’re looking to continue to find ways to connect with our fans that will energize our fan base and grow it.”

The league expanded the outdoor schedule from one game, the New Year’s Day Winter Classic, to six this season, including two games at Yankee Stadium and one at Dodger Stadium. Bettman considers the big-event strategy important in generating interest in the NHL. “This game, all the outdoor games, are one element of it,” Bettman said. “We have the Olympics and we have what we think will be an exciting, competitive season.

We’re going to continue to grow.

Our fan engagement, not just TV ratings, but through social media and NHL.com, is growing.”

Russia’s recent passage of an anti-gay law has caused concern among some connected with the Sochi Winter Olympics. Bettman

ing to leap over me. They stuck together. ... The players came together, we got healthy, and then we just rolled.”

The Dodgers trailed 6-3 in the sixth and A.J. Ellis hit a tiebreaking homer off Josh Collmenter (4-4) leading off the eighth.

J.P. Howell (2-1) got two outs for the victory.

Kenley Jansen struck two in the ninth for his 26th save.

Clinching on the home field of their nearest, but not very near, rival, the Dodgers charged the mound after Aaron Hill flew out to left field for the final out.

They mobbed Jansen and the throng bounced out toward second base in continued celebration.

A few Diamondbacks watched from the dugout. Most made their way to the clubhouse.

“That was pretty awesome, man,” Jansen said.

“It showed that we never quit. We kept playing hard. Even today, they scored six runs, we never quit. That’s pretty awesome.”

Ramirez, hit a threerun homer in the third inning and a tying solo shot in the seventh. It was his 14th career multihomer game and first since Aug. 18 of last year.

A long time coming for Red Sox BOSTON CLINCHES PLAYOFF SPOT FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2009 WITH WIN OVER ORIOLES

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Boston 3 Baltimore 1 BOSTON — The Red Sox clubhouse was quiet after the team clinched its first post-season berth since 2009, about as quiet as the Orioles’ bats were against John Lackey.

Boston has much bigger goals.

Lackey pitched a two-hit complete game, Stephen Drew hit a two-run homer and the Red Sox beat Baltimore 3-1 on Thursday night to complete an impressive turnaround from last season’s last place-finish.

The win ensured Boston at least a wild-card berth and lowered its magic number to one for clinching the AL East. A year ago, under Bobby valentine, the Red Sox finished 69-93 record — their worst since 1965.

“We’ve still got some other goals ahead of us,” Lackey said. “Hopefully, here in the next night or two we can get a party going.”

Earlier in the day, the Los Angeles Dodgers be-

Colts welcome Richardson with cheers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Trent Richardson’s new NFL home has all the features he’s wanted.

The Colts expect their newest player to become a workhorse running back, grow alongside a young franchise quarterback and carry them into the playoffs for years to come. It’s a big change from Cleveland’s perpetual rebuilding project.

One day after the Browns called Richardson to say he’d been dealt for a first-round draft pick in 2014, Richardson arrived to a locker room that had his new teammates hooting and hollering, a horde of reporters hanging on every word and the familiar sight of Browns fan Condoleeza Rice watching practice.

“It’s another chapter in my life and with that I’m going to have a chip on my shoulder,” Richardson said. “I am going to play football like I know how to play football. However it goes with the Browns, good luck to the Browns the rest of the season, but other than that, I’ve got to be here playing.”

The Colts (1-1) gave up a draft pick they hope will come at the end of the first round next year to obtain the 5-foot-9, 225-pound Alabama alum. Cleveland gave away

three picks to move up one spot and take Richardson just last year. He never quite fit the newest offensive system in Cleveland.

Indy now has a quarterback, Andrew Luck, and a running back, Richardson, who were both Heisman Trophy finalists less than 24 months ago and were ranked by most scouting departments as the best players at their positions coming out of college.

Colts general manager Ryan Grigson has somehow corralled five of the top 100 players drafted in 2012 — all of them on offence. Along with Luck and Richardson, the No. 1 and No. 3 overall selections, Indy also has tight ends Coby Fleener, a second-round choice, and Dwayne Allen and receiver T.Y. Hilton, third-round picks. Fleener, who turns 25 on Friday, is the oldest.

For Grigson, the deal was too good to pass up. He and Cleveland CEO Joe Banner, who worked together previously in Philadelphia, started talking early this week and it didn’t take long for Grigson to work something out. It’s his 16th trade since coming to Indy in 2012.

“You always want to surround a great player like Andrew with weapons, and we had a need at running back,” Grigson said.

came the first team to earn a playoff berth when they clinched the NL West.

Just before Adam Jones’ game-ending flyout to right, the crowd chanted, “Lackey! Lackey!” And after Daniel Nava caught the ball, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia embraced Lackey in front of the mound as Red Sox players came out of the dugout and lined up for their usual, low-key postgame handshakes.

“The next step is a more important one than this,” said manager John Farrell, who has led Boston’s turnaround after one disastrous year under Bobby Valentine.

“Winning the East, that’s been the stated goal since day one of spring training. That’s getting closer and I think that will probably be a little bit more the realization of where we’ve come from and where we are at that moment.”

Lackey’s resurgence has been just as remarkable.

He had a 6.41 ERA in 2011 while pitching with arm trouble, then missed all last season following ligament replacement surgery on his right elbow.

He’s just 10-12 this season but has had the least run support among Boston starters. On Thursday, he lowered his ERA to 3.44.

“The remake of John Lackey, both physically and getting back on the mound and performing as he’s done all year, mirrors that of this team,” Farrell said. “It’s somewhat fitting that to clinch a spot to get into the playoffs is with him on the mound and to go nine innings the way he did, like I said, very fitting.”

Lackey held the Orioles hitless until Jones homered with one out in the seventh, his 32nd this sea-

son. The right-hander allowed a one-out single to J.J. Hardy in the eighth, struck out eight and walked two in his 16th career complete game.

“There’s definitely some satisfaction for sure,” he said, “Just with the injury and other stuff, to get back to the playoffs and get back to the way I can pitch has been fun.”

Baltimore is two games behind in the AL wildcard race after winning two of the three games in the series.

“Who cares about this getting two out of three?”

Jones said. “At this point in time, winning the series means nothing. We need wins. ’Good job getting the series’ if this was June, but it’s September. We need wins.”

Chris Tillman (16-7) gave up three runs and seven hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and two walks. “That’s the way these games go at the end of the season,” he said. “You’ve got to be on top of it from the get-go all the way through. I made some mistakes and they made me pay.”

Boston scored all its runs in the second on Drew’s homer, his 13th of the year, and Dustin Pedroia’s RBI single.

The Red Sox have led the AL East since after play on Aug. 25 and entered Thursday having topped the AL East in 46 of the previous 49 days.

Lackey made it 47 out of 50.

“As far as fastball command, keeping the ball down in the zone throughout the game, yeah, that was probably his best game” of the year, Saltalamacchia said.

Simon takes on Lions for first time since trade CFL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. — B.C. Lions defensive back Ryan Phillips will always cherish his friendship with Geroy Simon. But not so Sunday.

The friendship will be put on hold when Phillips and the Lions visit Simon and his new club, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, in a key West Division matchup.

“I (played) with him for eight years and he’s definitely been a great mentor, a great guy, a great teammate and a personal friend,” said Phillips, a 30-year-old Seattle native. “Our families are connected and things like that.

“But, at the end of the day, once we get between those lines, Geroy’s definitely the enemy. He’s in the green and white, so he’s definitely the opposition. So we’ve got to make sure we take him out and minimize him and make sure he makes no big plays — because I know he’s looking forward to coming in and making a couple big plays against us.”

B.C. (7-4) can move into a second-place tie with Saskatchewan (8-3), which has lost two straight.

This will be the first meeting between the teams since Simon, who played 12 of his 15 CFL seasons with the Lions, was traded to Saskatchewan in January.

Following the 2012 season, Simon, 38, was open to restructuring

his contract with B.C. but had said if the club didn’t want him back he’d look at playing elsewhere. Lions GM Wally Buono gave Simon and his camp permission to gauge interest in a potential trade, and Jan. 24 the veteran was dealt to Saskatchewan for receiver Justin Harper, who showed up at an off-season offensive camp out of shape and was released, and a 2014 third-round draft pick.

Simon missed five games last season with hamstring issues, prompting suggestions about his durablility. And Simon missed Saskatchewan’s first three regular-season contests with an upper body injury.

But with receiver Weston Dressler and running back Kory Sheets out of Saskatchewan’s lineup with injuries, B.C. expects Simon to play a more prominent role than he has in earlier games.

“I anticipate him seeing the ball more, period, just because he was on our team for a number of years and he may have a little more knowledge of the things that we may be trying to do as a defence,” said Phillips. “So I expect them to try to utilize him as much as possible.”

Simon is the CFL’s all-time receiving yards leader (16,128 yards) and needs just six more catches to break former Montreal receiver Ben Cahoon’s CFL record of 1,017 career receptions.

“I just want to make sure he don’t get that (receptions record) against us,” said Phillips. “That’s my biggest thing.

“He can get it eventually, but I want to make sure he gets, maybe, two (receptions), and make sure they’re not for touchdowns or anything like that — because we definitely don’t want to see him doing no poses or anything like that against us.”

Simon is known for doing a Superman pose after scoring a touchdown. The Lions are out to make sure the Riders don’t gain superiority because of Simon’s knowledge of their offensive system.

“I know he’s probably telling them everything in the book about us, just like we’re gonna tell everything in the book about him,” said Phillips. “That’s something that goes a long way.”

Phillips is also wary of what Simon can do in one-on-one matchups. Defenders must be patient with him, Phillips said, because Simon can set them up for mistakes that will lead to long gains.

“He’s not at that stage anymore where he’s going to just outrun you or anything like that,” said Phillips. “But, obviously, his awareness and IQ of the game (are) unparalleled.

“There’s nothing he hasn’t seen before. There’s not too many defences he hasn’t seen before and things like that, so you’re not going to fool him too much.”

Simon’s first encounter with his former club has been generating hype all week. He held a conference call Wednesday as the Roughriders attempted to accommodate more out-of-town interview requests than usual.

The sessions are open to people of all ages, say organizers, who want to promote the arts in Red Deer. The Red Deer Art Club also hosts monthly workshops for members covering a wide range of artistic techniques. For more information, go the Red Deer Art Club Facebook page or call 403-346-5645.

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Manitoba RCMP Sgt. Kent MacInnis was driving home from Edmonton when a car crash changed his life and ended his partner’s.

The veteran of the Police Dog Services Unit was returning on Hwy 16 to Dauphin, Man., from a course hosted by the Edmonton Police Service. He was close to Saskatoon when he was T-boned by a vehicle trying to come across the highway.

“I was badly injured and my service dog was injured to the point of no return and had to be put down,” said MacInnis.

MacInnis, who is now the program manager in charge of Police Dog Services in Manitoba, broke 11 bones, had a lacerated spleen, bruised heart and concussion.

He was in critical condition,

recovering, when he was told his dog Rev, a German shepherd born in Innisfail, would have be put down.

“I woke up to hear the news,” said MacInnis. “I never got a chance to say goodbye. We always hope we can be there with our animal at the end of the day.

And be there with them when they die.”

The plan all along was for Rev to retire home with the MacInnis family.

MacInnis and Rev were posted to Prince George, B.C., Swift Current, Sask., and Dauphin, Man., between 2006 and 2013.

On Sept. 26 at 1 p.m., there will be a private memorial and funeral for Rev at the Police Dog Service Training Centre near Bowden. Rev will be placed on the national monument for fallen police dogs.

“It’s like losing a family member,” said MacInnis. “I was with my dog for seven years on the

street. He came home with me every night, he came to every call, he was a huge part of my life.

“I spent, arguably, more time with him than I did with my wife and children. He was there for more in every facet of my job.”

MacInnis has been to police dog funerals before and helped create the national monument for fallen police dogs at the training centre in 2007.

“I was at the inaugural ceremony for the monument and there were a lot of different dog handlers over the years who have had their dogs killed in the line of duty,” said MacInnis.

“It is emotional. We get so attached to our animals and we care for them and work with them day in and day out. When this happens, there are emotions from guys who lost their dogs years ago.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate. com

CIVIC ELECTIONS

A former executive chef believes he has the recipe for success on Red Deer city council.

Lloyd Johnson, 55, said Red Deer is ready for a change that could start with him.

Johnson said there needs to be a fundamental change in the way the city does business.

He said the current council failed in con- Lloyd Johnson ducting proper public consultation on the controversial bike lane pilot, a proposed aboriginal project in Clearview North and a plebiscite on a system of representation.

“I can offer decision-making and consul-

tation with the public is a big commitment that every councillor is supposed to uphold and they don’t,” he said.

Johnson was part of the Let Us Vote petition that called on the city to push forward on a plebiscite on a ward system.

He said this election is not about a single issue. If elected, Johnson wants to reassess city spending and tackle the city’s debt.

He promises to balance the needs and listen to all residents in the community.

Improving roads and infrastructure is part of his mandate.

Johnson said Red Deer is not a safe city and there needs to be more effort put into increasing safety and reducing crime.

“I have common sense,” said Johnson.

“My word is my word.

Alberta municipalities are spending too much and taxpayers, especially small businesses, are paying the price, says the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

In Central Alberta, Red Deer County is singled out as the worst offender — and 12th worst provincewide — while Clearwater County ranks among the province’s most restrained spenders, according to the CFIB’s latest report released this week.

The City of Red Deer falls about middle of the pack among Central Alberta communities and provincewide, where it is listed 87th out of 181.

Under the CFIB’s ranking system, 181 is best and that honour went to Medicine Hat. Worst is Saddle Hills County in northwestern Alberta.

Red Deer city manager Craig Curtis said the federation is using the wrong numbers if it’s goal is to measure fiscal sustainability.

In Red Deer, population growth from 2000 to 2011 was 40 per cent but real spending was up 108 per cent; or 48 per cent on a per capita basis.

Taking total operating expenditures includes millions of dollars in federal and provincial funding that passes through the city’s books but doesn’t affect taxpayers.

“It really distorts the picture.

What you have to look at is what is your tax-supported portion in-

crease,” said Curtis.

Crunching those numbers, Red Deer has seen increases at about four per cent a year, a little higher than inflation.

“I think we’re very sustainable in terms of where we sit,” he said.

“We’ve got a capital plan which extends over 10 years, which is fully funded.

“Our operational situation is pretty healthy with the growth we’re getting.”

Municipalities also face all sorts of additional expenditures caused by provincial downloading, either by adding expenses, such as meeting new water treatment standards, or cutting grants.

Richard Truscott, CFIB’s Alberta director, said focusing on tax-supported expenses only misses how much money municipalities pull in through hikes in various fees, fines and levies.

While government downloading is often cited as an additional municipal cost, CFIB’s report, which is based on information from Municipal Affairs, shows government transfers have increased 379 per cent between 2000 and 2011.

Methodology aside, the key issue is that the current level of spending can’t be maintained without significantly boosting taxes, fees, service charges, other levies.

“That’s really our concern, is how sustainable is the spending they do, regardless of where they get the revenue from,” he said.

BRIEFS Foodgrains Bank charity harvest Supporters and volunteers are invited to bring their appetites and their lawn chairs on Saturday for the 2013 Central Alberta Foodgrains Bank charity harvest.

Crews are being rounded up to bring in the wheat crop on a field southeast of the Nova Chemicals plant at Joffre, starting a noon. The field is located on the north side of Hwy 11 at Range Road 25-0.

Proceeds from the crop go to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, which is celebrating 30 years of fighting hunger with assistance from Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada.

Goodwill offerings will be gratefully accepted and added to the funds being raised.

Please note that the harvest will be postponed in the event of foul weather.

To learn more, contact Doug Maas outside of office hours at 403-782-1860.

Fatality inquiry planned A fatality inquiry has been scheduled to investigate the death of a wheelchair-bound man who fell down some stairs at a Red Deer group home.

Richard David Jacknife, 47, fell down the basement stairs at his group home on Nov. 4, 2010. He was transported to hospital, where he died on Nov. 11, 2010.

Jacknife had profound developmental disabilities. He fell down the steps after a door was left unlocked at a Parkland Community Living and Supports group home on Nov. 4, 2010.

Judge Gordon Yake will hear the inquiry, scheduled for Red Deer provincial court, Nov. 27 to 29.

Provincial court judges preside over fatality inquiries and may make recommendations to prevent similar incidents.

After an inquiry, the judge releases a written report but does not determine legal responsibility.

STORY FROM PAGE C1

CFIB: Auditor proposed by group “At the end of the day, they’re either going to have to hike taxes, they’re going to have to borrow more money or they are going to have to look for additional sources of revenue to pay for it.”

Of particular concern to the CFIB is the increasing load being put on small business taxpayers, who often pay much higher rates than residential taxpayers.

Truscott said that operating spending in nine out of 10 municipalities exceeded population growth, showing the need for a municipal auditor general focused on spending practices ensuring money is being spent wisely and is sustainable.

“If (municipalities) don’t like our methodology then they should get on board with an independent municipal auditor general for local government,” he said, adding that B.C. has gone that route.

“I guess at the end of the day what we’re trying to do is encourage a conversation about municipal spending.

According to our research, and if you ask small business owners, it is not sustainable over the long term when you compare it to the rate of growth and the number of people to pay those high revenues.”

Sylvan Lake Mayor Susan Samson also questions the CFIB’s approach to gauging municipal fiscal responsibility.

“It really has a business focus on municipalities, which is not a great way to compare the business we do,” said Samson. “How we run the Town of Sylvan Lake is different from a business.”

Town residents have an expectation of service that must be delivered.

Innisfail pool to reopen Innisfail residents can get back into the swim of things.

A two-month pool overhaul was recently completed and the Innisfail Aquatic Centre was back in action on Sept. 9.

About $450,000 was spent to retrofit circulation and filtration systems for the pool and whirlpool.

The pool has been closed since July.

An official reopening ceremony for the pool is set for Thursday at 2 p.m.

Youth shelter boost The 49th Street Youth Shelter is getting a boost thanks to people’s new technological purchases.

A Telus campaign that saw the company contributing $25 from the sale of each smart phone and Optik TV activation in Red Deer and area over a period of seven months raised $126,000 in support of the shelter.

The donation will help the shelter address space issues at the facility.

According to a release, the funds will enable the shelter to make renovations.

Those include enlargement of the kitchen, creating a wheelchair accessible bathroom, increasing storage, and the addition of a bedroom.

The shelter, run by the Red Deer Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer, is an eight-bed facility that operates every day of the year and is open 24 hours.

It houses four programs for youth in crisis and youth and young adults in transition.

Heritage Recognition Awards on Sept. 27 Red Deerians with an interest in learning about preserving and celebrating local history are invited to attend the 2013 Heritage Recognition Awards on Friday, Sept. 27.

The ceremony will be held at the Pioneer’s Lodge (4324 46A Ave.) from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. There is no cost to attend.

“Unlike a business, where you can be lean and mean and take the profits back, we can’t do that.”

Clearwater County ranks third best in the province for its fiscal sustainability. According to CFIB’s numbers, Clearwater County’s population grew by a modest eight per cent between 2000 and 2011 and spending actually dropped 15 per cent — 21 per cent on a per capita basis.

Chief administrative officer Ron Leaf said while the report is complimentary he remains critical of the federation’s methodologies.

The impact of provincial downloading and grant cuts gets underplayed using the federation’s model.

After taxes, grants are the biggest revenue source for most rural municipalities.

For instance, the province cut bridge funding in its last budget, which municipalities had to pick up to ensure bridges were maintained.

The municipality has benefited from a big spike in oil and gas activity, much of it fracking related.

But at the same time, that has meant more road maintenance costs for the county.

Suspect in drug case reported dead Police are staying mum on the death of a drug suspect who was wanted on warrants after missing a court date.

Shawn Bodnaruk, 26, was arrested by Red Deer City RCMP during a drug investigation in late February 2012.

Police allege finding just over four kg of psilocybin or magic mushrooms after pulling Bodnaruk’s car over for a traffic infraction on Feb. 25.

Subsequent investigations led them to a suite in Red Deer apartment building where they say they found a similar quantity of marijuana.

Also charged as a result of the investigation was Steven Dylan

UNKNOWN ARTIST SALE

Senetza, 27, who pleaded guilty on Feb. 28, 2012, to possession of marijuana for trafficking.

Senetza was sentenced early in September to 20 months on the drug trafficking charge.

Bodnaruk, a resident of Kindersley, Sask., was supposed to go to trial in Red Deer on June 24.

However, the proceedings were abruptly cancelled when he parted company with his lawyer, Will Willms.

A warrant for his arrest was issued when he failed to attend court on July 18 to set a new trial date.

Cpl. Leanne Molzahn, media liaison officer for the Red Deer City RCMP, confirmed on Thursday

that Bodnaruk had died “within the past few weeks.”

But Molzahn would not reveal when, where or how he died.

Flooding trial in 2014 A local business owner accused of flooding neighbouring properties will go to trial next summer.

Harry Harm Veenstra, owner of Auto Body Services Red Deer, is charged under the Alberta Environmental Enhancement and Protection and Water Act with illegally diverting water at his property on 49th Avenue and 78th Street.

The diversion is alleged to have occurred during July 2010, causing significant damage on neighbouring properties.

Veenstra’s trial is scheduled for three weeks in Red Deer provincial court, starting on July 7, 2014.

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

“I Confess - I’m Chicken” Dear Dr. D: I have several gaps in my mouth where teeth used to live. The partial denture I wear now is annoying, and I have heard dental implants could replace it permanently. My problem is I am very uncomfortable with dentists, and dental pain. I'm embarrassed to say I have gone years between appointments because of the bad memories from my childhood. How much pain is involved in implants?

You bring up several issues – but the most important thing is to let A: you know you're not alone! In some demographics (largely baby boomers) those who fear anything dental exceed 60%. The reasons are many – and an early unpleasant experience can last a lifetime. It can be a fear of needles, fear of pain itself, fear of choking or “the shot”, the sound of the drill, the smells or just going to the dental office. We call these folks 'dental phobic' and our job is to let them know that times have absolutely changed in dentistry. It is not unusual for patients to be so relaxed they actually fall asleep during procedures. Pain is virtually non-existent in most dental procedures these days. This phobia, incidentally, is almost unknown to anyone under 30 unless adults have preconditioned children to expect pain!

Let's address pain and implants specifically. In preparing for a dental implant appointment we use oral sedation, I.V. sedation or combination of both to prepare the individual. At the time when the local anesthesia or freezing is placed the sedated individual feels little or nothing and never remembers the numbing experience. Interesting enough the patient is responsive to verbal commands, has all his or her protective reflexes but is unaware of time so the procedure goes by without concern. Because the individual is sedated and “frozen” there is no procedural pain whatsoever.

Recently as a patient received 6 implants, the husband and son watched in amazement. Afterwards, when asked by her husband about pain, she just shook her head and said it hadn't bothered her one bit. In fact, we find that the majority of our patients do not even use the pain killing medication we routinely provide them after surgery.

We'll show you the technology that deals with your concerns and see if replacing your partial with implants will work for you.

Dividends expected for new securities regulator FEDS, B.C. AND ONTARIO STRESS CO-OPERATIVE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Photo by HARLEY RICHARDS/Advocate staff

Graham Cooke, one of 26 students enrolled in the new brewmaster and brewery operations management program at Olds College, explains the operations of the Olds College Brewery on Thursday.

A passion for brewing OLDS COLLEGE OFFICIALLY OPENS TEACHING BREWERY

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Graham Cooke studied ocean sciences at the University of Victoria; Lisa Drapaka aspired to be a member of the Edmonton police service.

A common interest in beer attracted both to Olds College, where they are among 26 students in the college’s new brewmaster and brewery operations management program.

“The one thing that brought us all here was this passion for beer and brewing,” said Drapaka, who has blogged about beer and hopes to open her own brewery some day.

Cooke has the same goal, and sees the Olds College program as a stepping stone to a job in the industry and then his own brewery.

On Thursday, more than 200 people gathered at the Pomeroy Inn & Suites at Olds College to mark the official opening of the college’s teaching brewery. They were rewarded with samples of Hay City beer, one of four frothy products that will come out of the Olds College Brewery.

Among those in attendance was a delegation from Niagara College, which has Canada’s first teaching brewery and helped Olds College develop its own program.

“They are providing us with a full curriculum, they’re provided us with advice in terms of setting up our brewery, and they’re going to be advising us in terms of our business plan,” said Peter Johnston-Berresford, co-ordinator of the Olds College program.

Niagara College president Dan Patterson said graduates of his in-

“The microbrewery industry is a very exciting place right now — a lot of growth, a lot of opportunities, and they need a highly skilled workforce.”

Olds College president Tom Thompson described his college’s relationship with Niagara College as a “pan-Canadian partnership.”

Johnston-Berresford said it will help establish country-wide standards for the brewing industry.

The Olds College program, which also runs for two years, covers such areas as food microbi-

ology, brewing chemistry, large and small brewery applications, agronomy and business management. Hands-on production is also a significant component, said Johnston-Berresford.

Olds College Brewery beers will be available for purchase by the public, with a retail outlet set up adjacent to the brewery on the west end of Pomeroy Inn & Suites at Olds College.

“All four should be available within the next month or two,” said Johnston-Berresford.

OTTAWA — The Conservative government that bulled ahead with unilateral changes to federalprovincial health funding and job-training programs is hoping a more “co-operative” approach will pay dividends for a national securities regulator.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, flanked by his B.C. and Ontario counterparts, announced Thursday they’re proceeding with a national body to oversee Canada’s investment industry.

They hope the proposed system is in place by July 1, 2015.

“Our economic union stands taller today than it did yesterday,” said Flaherty, even as he invited other provinces and territories to join the “co-operative.”

“It isn’t a federal regulator or a provincial regulator,” said Flaherty.

“It’s a common regulator, a co-operative regulator, which will share whatever powers the different orders of government have.”

Quebec, as expected, immediately trumpeted its opposition, while Alberta, another longtime opponent of the idea, kept its powder dry while complaining about a lack of consultation.

Flaherty and Ontario, home to the Toronto Stock Exchange, have long sought a national securities regulator to replace the current patchwork of provincial and territorial bodies that they argue increases costs to businesses seeking to raise money in Canada and makes enforcement and prosecution of fraud more difficult.

However, in 2011, the Supreme Court ruled Ottawa could not unilaterally create such a system because it intruded on provincial jurisdiction.

Tortuous, years-long negotiations with B.C. and Ontario — which together represent almost two thirds of the Canadian securities market — resulted in Thursday’s pitch.

The new regulator, with its head office in Toronto, will administer a single set of regulations and be directed by a board of independent directors chosen by a federal-provincial council of ministers.

“It doesn’t make sense in a nation the size of our population to have 13 regulators and to introduce yet possibly another federal regulator with all the others included,” said Charles Sousa, Ontario’s finance minister. “(That) would create, I think, an international or reputational signal that would say, you know, we don’t have our act together.”

B.C. Finance Minister Michael de Jong said the co-operative model was designed to avoid constitutional court battles.

“My apologies to the constitutional bar,” said de Jong.

“They’ll have to find something else to make a million bucks off.”

Federal International Trade Minister Ed Fast says only a few issues remain in working out a free-trade deal with the European Union.

But he cautions that doesn’t mean an announcement is imminent.

“There’s still a very, very small handful of issues left outstanding that need to be resolved,” Fast said at a beef industry forum in Calgary Thursday.

“As with all trade negotiations, the toughest issues get left until the very last.”

Negotiations on the proposed Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) started four years ago.

Fast declined to say what issues remain on the table.

He said the issues would require “political decisions”, and that both sides are looking for “creative ways” of bridg-

ing the remaining gaps.

Canada is seeking better access for Canadian pork and beef, drug patents and other goods.

Market access was the key topic as Fast and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz met with producers at Canada Beef Inc.’s annual forum.

And Canadian efforts to resolve a longsimmering dispute with the United States over country of origin labelling (COOL) was one of the main issues people attending the conference were chewing on.

Ritz said the COOL rules are so bad even the American meat industry sought an injunction to prevent its own government from putting the policy into play.

“They’ve identified some several hundred million dollars a year it will cost them to comply,” Ritz said. “So are American consumers going to pay for that, or is it going to be reflected in the offer for our beef and hogs?”

The S&P/TSX composite index fell 4.62 points to 12,926.78. The Canadian dollar dipped 0.38 of a cent to 97.45 cents US. The U.S. central bank had been widely expected to announce a scaling back Wednesday of its $85 billion of monthly bond purchases, which have put downward pressure on longterm borrowing rates. Instead, the Fed did nothing as Fed chairman Ben Bernanke voiced worries over the state of the U.S. economic recovery and the still-high levels of unemployment.

The news sent U.S. markets up sharply, resulting in the Dow Jones industrial index and S&P 500 closing at record highs on Wednesday.

But those gains turned into losses as the news set in on Wall Street.

Even a slate of slightly positive economic releases out of the U.S., from housing sales to unemployment figures, were not enough to boost the indexes.

The Dow Jones industrials index pulled back 40.39 points to 15,636.55, while the S&P dipped 3.18 points to 1,722.34. The Nasdaq was up 5.74 points at 3,789.38.

Conference Board economist Ken Goldstein said the two months of gains pointed to “more pep” in the pace of economic activity.

Meanwhile, the latest weekly U.S. unemployment figures also showed that the number of people applying for benefits last week rose by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 309,000.

The level is only slightly above the previous week’s 294,000, the lowest in six years.

U.S. home sales rose last month to the highest level since February 2007 as buyers rushed to close deals before interest rates rise further. The National Association of Realtors says sales of previously occupied homes rose 1.7 per cent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.48 million in August. That is consistent with a healthy market.

In corporate news, the largest U.S. bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co., is paying $920 million in penalties in a case in which regulators said the bank failed to properly supervise traders in its London operation, allowing them to assign inflated values to trades and to cover up losses as they ballooned. Two of the traders are facing criminal charges for allegedly falsifying records to hide the losses.

Ford investment brings hope of more jobs THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Ford’s investment in the Oakville plant west of Toronto is creating hope among union members and industry watchers that more jobs may come to Canada as demand for cars rebounds to pre-recession levels.

The automaker announced Thursday it was putting $700-million in the plan with the help of government funds in a move it called a “win for everyone” as well as a sign of the company’s dedication to Canadian manufacturing.

“Today’s announcement is significant for Ford because it’s about solidifying jobs and about becoming more competitive than ever before right here in Canada,” Ford president for the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, said during a news conference in Oakville, Ont. “Not only is this investment helping us to find much-needed capacity for global product and securing these great jobs, it’s also positioning Oakville as one of the more competitive and important manufacturing facilities in the Ford

global manufacturing system.”

While the investment doesn’t create any new jobs, it will secure those of the 2,800 employees currently at the plant.

Anthony Faria, an automotive expert at the University of Windsor, said Ford’s level of investment means those jobs should remain safe for at least 10 years, but that new product would have to come into the factory for new positions to be created since the vehicles currently built at Oakville aren’t big sellers.

Faria said he hopes Oakville will continue to build the next generation Ford Edge and the next generation of MKX for Lincoln, but notes that both vehicles are built off the same platform as the Ford Fusion, a major global seller.

“About the only thing that outsells it for Ford is the F-Series pick ups.”

The Oakville plant currently makes the Ford Edge, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKX and Lincoln MKT. Ford says several new models will be brought to the plant to meet demand in North America and elsewhere.

The auto industry was

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A Scotiabank analyst says big U.S. carriers are taking a pass on Canada’s wireless spectrum auction in January, preferring instead to focus on their own markets.

Analyst Jeff Fan says he has confirmation from Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile that they didn’t submit applications earlier this week to participate in bidding on radio waves needed to operate cellphone networks in Canada.

Fan says in a research note that he believes their decision was prompted by the lack of attractive returns in entering Canada’s wireless market, as well as regulatory uncertainty in Canada and potential regulatory backlash in the U.S. Fan adds that there is still speculation about other large global carriers taking part in the auction, but says he doesn’t believe they would have the same impact on the Canadian market as the big U.S. carriers.

On Monday, Industry Canada will publish a list of participants who’ve put down a refundable deposit to participate in the Jan. 14 auction.

Canadian Pacific to cut 130 jobs with closure of Calgary locomotive centre CALGARY — Canadian Pacific Railway says it will eliminate 130 jobs in the coming months after giving notice that it will close its locomotive repair and maintenance centre at Calgary’s Alyth Yard.

Wholesale sales up OTTAWA — Wholesale sales in Canada bounced back in July after a sharp drop in June, helping build the case for a strong comeback for the economy after a weak end to the second quarter.

Wholesale sales were up 1.5 per cent at $49.5 billion in July as sales in volume terms gained 1.4 per cent, Statistics Canada reported Thursday.

The gain came as the result for June was revised down slightly to a drop of 3.1 per cent compared with an earlier estimate of a drop of 2.8 per cent.

“Overall, the strength in today’s wholesale report echoes the healthy reading for the month’s factory print, suggesting July could be on track to recoup the ground lost in the prior month’s flooding and construction strike disruptions,” CIBC economist Emanuella Enenajor said.

The improved wholesale sales builds on a report earlier this week that Canadian manufacturing also rebounded in July to post at gain of 1.7 per cent.

The economy dropped 0.5 per cent in June as it was hit by the floods in Alberta and a construction strike in Quebec. The drop was the biggest monthly move down since the recession and held quarterly growth to 1.7 per cent.

Statistics Canada said higher wholesale sales were reported in four of seven subsectors, representing almost 70 per cent of sales.

In July, the largest increase in dollar terms came in the machinery, equipment and supplies subsector, where sales rose 3.2 per cent to $10.6 billion, more than offsetting a decline in June. several reasons.

“We’d identified the craft brewing industry, about five to seven years ago, as one of the fastest-growing segments of the industry,” he said, adding that the Olds College facilities should be a useful training ground for Rahr’s own staff, and help educate farmers about the end uses of the barley they grow.

Johnston-Berresford said nearly 100 people applied for a place in the brewmaster and brewery operations management program this year. Those who got in come from across Canada, and range in age from 19 to 40. All have a promising future.

“The industry today is growing at a pace that exceeds 10 per cent per year,” said Johnston-Berresford.

Olds College is ideally located to support this growth, he said, with barley production throughout the region, major malting facilities at Alix and Calgary, and hops production in nearby states.

In addition to its four primary beers — Hay City, Aggie Ale, Old Skhool and Prairie Gold — the Olds College Brewery plans to produce limited release specialty beers throughout the year.

Its brewmaster is Duncan Britton. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Canadian Pacific said the decision follows the Canadian Transportation Agency’s order to cease load testing and idling in overnight operations at the 60-year-old facility.

Canadian Pacific (TSX:CP) says the regulator’s move failed to recognize the around-the-clock operational requirements of the facility and restricts its ability to provide customer service.

Despite the closure, Alyth Yard will remain an important CP rail yard offering non-stop railway activities, the company said.

If all goes well, Orbital Sciences hopes to launch another Cygnus in December with about 2,800 pounds of supplies.

That will be the first true operational mission under a $1.9 billion contract.

The SpaceX contract is worth $1.6 billion.

SpaceX is working to modify its Dragon capsule for space station crews, so NASA doesn’t have to keep paying tens of millions of dollars to the Russians per ticket.

Orbital Sciences envisions strictly non-human payloads for the Cygnus — but not necessarily just in Earth’s backyard.

“We’d be happy to help a mission go to Mars,” said Culbertson, a former astronaut who lived on the space station in 2001.

A commercial cargo ship made its successful debut Wednesday, rocketing toward the International Space Station and doubling the number of NASA’s private suppliers for the high-flying lab.

Orbital Sciences Corp. launched its first-ever supply ship from Virginia’s Eastern Shore, the departing point for a NASA moonshot less than two weeks ago.

“Look out ISS, here we come,” the company said in a tweet.

The capsule named Cygnus — bearing 1,300 pounds of food, clothing and goodies for the astronauts — is due at the orbiting outpost on Sunday, following four days of testing.

The Virginia-based Orbital Sciences is only the second business to attempt a shipment like this. The Californiabased SpaceX company has been delivering station supplies for more than a year under a NASA contract.

“If you needed more tangible proof that this is a new era of exploration, it’s right here, right now in Virginia,” NASA associate administrator Robert Lightfoot said at a post-launch news conference.

Orbital Sciences’ unmanned Antares rocket — named for the bright red star — blasted into a clear sky from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility.

A test launch in April went well. So did this one, with a camera on the rocket providing dramatic views of the coastline. The entire commercial effort dates back five years.

It was Wallops’ second high-profile launch this month. On Sept. 6, the company took part in a NASA moonshot that dazzled skywatchers along the East Coast.

Wednesday’s late-morning liftoff, while at a much more convenient hour, was not nearly as visible because of the daylight. The rocket exhaust plume, at least, was visible from Washington, D.C. The three space station residents, circling 260 miles high, watched the launch via a live link provided by Mission Control in Houston.

“Great launch! Excited for Cygnus arrival on Sunday!” space station astronaut Karen Nyberg said in a tweet. She’s expecting a fresh stash of chocolate.

Nyberg and Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano will use the space station’s robot arm to grab Cygnus from orbit and attach it to the space station. Also on board is a Russian. The crew will double in size next week when another American and two Russians lift off aboard a Russian rocket from Kazakhstan.

NASA is paying Orbital Sciences and Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, to keep the space station stocked after the retirement of the shuttles. The other countries involved in the station also make deliveries.

The bigger SpaceX Dragon capsule, which is launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., has the advantage of returning items to Earth. It parachutes into the Pacific off the Southern California coast.

The Cygnus will be filled with station trash and cut loose for a fiery destruction upon re-entry, following a monthlong visit. That’s how the Russian, European and Japanese supply ships wind up, too — as incinerators.

“We categorize it as disposable cargo,” said Orbital Sciences’ executive vice-president, Frank Culbertson. “Oth-

Rezoning Laredo Phase 3 Land Use Bylaw Amendment 3357/Z-2013 City Council is considering amending the Land Use Bylaw related to the Laredo Phase 3 subdivision.

This bylaw proposes to correct an oversight from an August 2013 amendment that erroneously rezoned four (4) lots as R1 Residential Low Density. As per the adopted Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP) the four (4) lots should be R1A – Residential SemiDetached Dwelling as per the map below.

Ozeki draws on dreamlike mists of B.C.’s Whaletown “I found the book I had finished wasn’t really relevant anymore.”

So she withdrew the manuscript and gave it a rewrite. And while the book handles complicated tropes that could have appeared cliched coming from a lesser pen — time travel, teenage angst, magic — she says that as an author, she found the material to be familiar and self-referential.

TORONTO — It feels like there’s magic in Whaletown.

The verdant B.C. town is perched at the razor’s edge of the coast and on the crossroads of history, on an island named after conquistador Hernan Cortes and along a channel that shares a name with explorer Meriwether Lewis. It sits across from Desolation Sound, with its ring of the literary; and like a dreamy blur, it eludes population censuses because it’s unclear where the sleepy township ends and another place begins.

How else can you explain this western outpost’s rich, remarkable literary tradition?

“It’s fascinating to me how many writers there are on this island,” says Whaletown author Ruth Ozeki. “Independent bookstores around the world are dying, but the only non-food store on this island is a bookstore, which is really funny.”

Writers Dennison Smith and Shaena Lambert live there. Edward St. Aubyn, a British author who was shortlisted for the prestigious Man Booker Prize, visited the minute settlement not long ago. And that in itself is a dream-like portent, as Ozeki — who only became a Canadian citizen in 2005 — is now part of Whaletown’s literary legacy thanks to the naming of her latest novel, A Tale For The Time Being, to the long list of the $75,000 Booker Prize, which recognizes the top books from Commonwealth authors.

“For me, a big part of this (nomination) is an occasion to just feel very grateful to be Canadian now,” says Ozeki, 57.

“Living near a place called Desolation Sound, where there’s such a strong history of First Nations stories, and you really are barely clinging onto the side of the continent, and you spend 10 months of the year drenched in mist and rain — there really is a fairytale quality to life here.”

The pages of A Tale For The Time Being are suffused with the dreaminess of her lush adopted home, as well as of her heritage. Ozeki was born to a Caucasian father and a Japanese mother, and she made stops in New York City, New Haven, Conn., and Tokyo while growing up.

It’s the kind of uniquely cross-cultural exchange that could only have bred a book like hers, the spellbinding story of a woman who discovers a mysterious Hello Kitty lunchbox washed up on a Whaletown beach and finds inside a disenfranchised

killed more than 15,000 in Japan.

“Suddenly, it was very clear to me that I had been writing about Japan, but Japan is no longer the Japan I had been writing about,” she said.

“When an event of that catastrophic magnitude happens, it changes everything. It changes the way the world perceives Japan, it changes Japan itself.

16-year-old’s diary that draws the woman in and refuses to let go.

“I started writing it in 2006, and the idea of this Japanese schoolgirl living in Tokyo writing a secret diary and casting it out into the world, that’s where it started,” said Ozeki. She submitted a finished manuscript in early 2011 — just before the devastating earthquake and tsunami that

Winter uses life experiences for Giller Prize-contending book TORONTO — Author Michael Winter — who writes each morning on a computer that’s not hooked up to the Internet — uses a rather vivid image to describe how web-surfing can pose a potential distraction for writers.

“Would I rather be in a room with a little puppy dog just coming in and jumping on me?

Or would I rather go into a room with a dead dog putrefying?” says the author, whose new novel Minister Without Portfolio was longlisted earlier this week for the Scotiabank Giller Prize.

“And that’s the novel.

The novel is the dead dog, stinking up the room. The puppy is the Internet. I don’t need that. I have to resuscitate this dog. Nine to 12, I just write in the study.”

The Newfoundlandset Minister Without Portfolio tells the story of Henry Hayward, who takes work as a contractor in Afghanistan to mend his heart after a broken relationship. But after a routine patrol turns fatal, a grief-stricken Henry returns home to care for the people and places around him.

Winter — whose previous novels include 2007’s Giller shortlisted The Architects are Here — explores themes of origin and place through the characters and a house that is central to the plot.

Henry vows to fix up the house south of St. John’s that his friend, Tender Morris, had hopes of restoring. It’s eventually moved to a new location.

Winter admits he drew on several events from his own life for the novel, including watching a friend’s house get moved because it turned out she didn’t own the land it was on.

Two characters in the novel also accidentally set a forest fire, which happened to Winter and his brother.

But perhaps the most dramatic real-life parallel is Henry’s fall into an incinerator at the dump while disposing material from the house he’s working on.

“That’s a true story. I fell into an incinerator,” recalls Winter, who divides his time between Toronto and Conception Bay, N.L., with his partner, novelist Christine Pountney (Sweet Jesus), and their five-year-old son Leo. “We bought an old house in Newfoundland and we were fixing it up and pretty much what happens in the novel happened to me. I was bringing old roofing materials to the dump, but

WRITER’S TRUST PRIZE THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Thomas King, Priscila Uppal and Andrew Steinmetz are among the finalists for the $60,000 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for non-fiction.

King, a two-time Governor General’s Award nominee, is up for The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America (Doubleday Canada).

Steinmetz is being recognized for This Great Escape: The Case of Michael Paryla (Biblioasis).

And Uppal is nominated for Projection: Encounters With My Runaway Mother (Dundurn Press).

Rounding out the nominees are Globe and Mail journalist Graeme Smith for The Dogs are Eating Them Now: Our War in Afghanistan (Knopf Canada) and J.B. MacKinnon for The Once and Future World: Nature As It Was, As It Is, As It Could Be (Random House Canada).

The winner will be announced at a gala at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario on Oct. 21.

you don’t just dump it at the dump. Things that can burn go in this incinerator. There’s a ramp that goes up to the third storey of this teepee of a belching incinerator and you fire things into the chute.

“I was throwing things in and I was watching them descend and halfway down they were exploding in flame and lifting up again and landing in the truck. I realized the truck was going to catch on fire if I didn’t do something about this.

I thought I could slide it all in at once.”

But in the attempt, his momentum propelled him down the chute.

“I was terrified as I was falling in because I thought my life was over.

“But then I landed and fell down to the bottom and I was alive and so I thought it was quite hilarious that I was inside an incinerator that was burning madly and I was alive.

“I looked for the way out and then I realized there was no way out ex-

cept the way I came in.

“And after a couple of minutes I could feel my inner body temperature rising. And then I realized I was going to cook to death. I was going to boil. And that saddened me.”

Winter was rescued by two people who forced open a door he hadn’t noticed at the rear of the inferno. There were nightmares after the incident.

“Occasionally I’m still ambushed by that feeling,” he says.

Winter and Joseph Boyden, longlisted for the Giller for The Orenda, will tour together this fall with their publisher Hamish Hamilton Canada.

He loves meeting readers.

“It’s such a boring thing to write a book. Being alone in a room writing books, it’s terrible. So I’m itching for this part to happen,” says Winter.

The author is working on a non-fiction book about the domestic activities that occupied the

families of soldiers in the Newfoundland regiment during the First World War. Winter says watching his older sister Kathleen, author of the Giller-nominated Annabel and numerous short stories, write as a teenager drew him to the craft.

Said the author: “I don’t think it would have ever occurred to me to write without seeing my sister write.”

This year’s Giller short list will be announced on Oct. 8.

Michelle Obama urges companies to advertise healthier foods to children THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama used the power of her bully pulpit Wednesday to push food companies and television broadcasters to do more to promote healthier foods to children — and to do it faster.

Research shows food marketing is a leading cause of childhood obesity because the ads and promotions lead impressionable kids to then pester their parents to eat what they saw on TV, consumer advocates say.

The first lady cited a “cultural shift” taking place in America’s eating habits, and highlighted as examples salad bars that are now in many school lunchrooms and kids’ restaurant menus that offer such items as broccoli and wholewheat pasta.

But while she said there has been progress, including slight reductions in childhood obesity rates in a few states and cities, Mrs. Obama noted that “we clearly have much more work to do” when 1 in 3 kids in the U.S. is on track to develop diabetes.

“I’m here today with one simple request and that is to do even more and move even faster to market responsibly to

our kids,” the first lady said as she opened the first White House summit on the issue. Dozens of representatives from the food and media industries, advocacy and parent groups, government agencies, research institutions and others attended.

The goal, she said, is to “empower parents instead of undermining them” as they try to make the best choices for their families.

A 2006 report by the influential Institute of Medicine concluded that food and beverage marketing to children “represents, at best, a missed opportunity, and, at worst, a direct threat to the health of the next generation.”

At the summit, which went into closed session after Mrs. Obama’s public remarks, the first lady lauded the Walt Disney Co. for banning junkfood ads from its media channels, websites and theme parks. She said companies can promote and sell healthy foods to kids and stay competitive and profitable at the same time.

“The fact is that marketing nutritious foods to our kids isn’t just good for our kids’ health, it can also be good for companies’ bottom lines,” said Mrs. Obama.

Can cheating husband be trusted again?

Dear Annie: I have been with my husband for 19 years, married for nine. I love him and never had any serious issues with our marriage until four months ago. That’s when I discovered that my husband was having an affair.

He’s been lying to me about it for nearly three years, telling me his work schedule changed. We sought marriage counseling, but he wouldn’t go back after the first session. He knows I have all of the details of his relationship with this woman. He says he’s trying to work on our marriage, but I am not sure he is sincere. I thought I could trust him, and he ripped my heart out.

Annie, I have processed all of the disappointments and believe I can move on. But my husband says he wants to save our marriage.

I don’t want to set myself up to be hurt like this again. What should I do? — Need a Word of Truth from Him Dear Need: A man who truly wants to save his marriage would go back with you for counseling, work on the hard issues for as long as it takes and be completely transparent in all his dealings so you can learn to trust him again.

Tell him that’s the deal if he wants you to stay. If he is unwilling to take those steps, it means he is not ready to change the mindset and behavior that led to the affair.

We hope he will agree to do the necessary work.

If not, see a good lawyer and get counseling on your own to prepare you for the next step.

Dear Annie: A few of your readers have written saying that restaurant etiquette has flown the coop. Well, here’s my gripe: Nothing bothers me

MITCHELL & SUGAR

ANNIE ANNIE more than watching an adult place a diapered infant on the table.

There is nothing separating that diaper from the dishes. Restaurant tables are barely swept of crumbs before another customer sits down. I can only imagine what might leak out of that infant. Ewwwwww. — M.L. Dear M.L.: There’s worse. We’re sure to hear from readers who have witnessed infants being changed on the table while patrons were eating around them. We know parents appreciate those restroom facilities

that are not only clean, but provide changing tables for just this purpose. There are also foldable, portable, washable changing pads that parents can bring with them and use anywhere (other than a restaurant table, please).

Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Venting in Oregon,” the couple that was disgusted and annoyed by the noise from the neighbor’s two toddlers.

I had a noisy, screaming young child myself at one time. I spent hours every day dealing with the continuous screaming and chaos. It was a real party to take him to public places, especially when I had to go to the grocery store. I never knew what kind of meltdown would ensue. I only knew that others in the vicinity would make comments about me, my parenting style, my child’s behavior and anything else unkind and negative that they could think to say, always making sure it was loud enough for me to hear.

I was trying so hard, and it truly disturbed me to be criticized openly by strangers who had no idea what my days and nights were like with this child. He was finally diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder and began to receive appropriate therapies. It turned out he was brilliant once he could focus properly. He is now an absolutely lovely person who is well liked and respected by people who know him.

So to “Venting in Oregon,” if you can’t help your neighbors with their children, at least try to be as patient and gracious as you can manage. No one really knows what goes on in someone else’s home. — Been There, Done That Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Friday, Sept. 20 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Sophia Lauren, 79; Moon Bloodgood, 38; Jon Bernthal, 36 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: A tense affiliation between the Moon and Pluto will provoke us to be overly reactive and take things too personally today. A harmonious affiliation to Mars will give us the necessary boost to accomplish just about anything. Changes on the emotional sphere will shake us up while the Moon makes it monthly bonding with Uranus. Going with the flow will save us from today’s surprising turn of events.

Venus and Uranus urge us to let go of whoever no longer values us.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: If today is your birthday, this will be a highly emotional year for you that will ASTRO wake you up to reality! Changes DOYNA that you will go through this year will force you to face your deeply rooted fears. Don’t be terrified of going too deep nor too far when it comes to your love life as it will teach you more about yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your long-term goals and your future plans seemed in a great need of restructuring. You had to make a few sacrifices along the way on the professional front. The good news is that this sphere will give you the needed confidence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): More than often, it was not clear whom you should trust and offer your loyalty to. Irrelevant gossip and misunderstandings among your folks are lessening. This experience will reveal to you who your true friends really are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The sphere of your life dealing with shared resources and intimate issues might have put some roadblocks along the way. Your partner’s situation might have not been easy to endure, but that will change. You can breathe in utter relief.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The art of give-and-take in your primal relationships might have tested your pertinence or made you question your role in this relationship. The Universe promises to alleviate this sphere in your life and soon, you will find that sense of balance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Not knowing where you stand on the health front can be extremely nerve wrecking. Even with systematic and thorough check-ups, the results were never too obvious. However, times are surely changing and you will no longer walk under that foggy cloud of worry.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your unique talents and your self-expressiveness will uncover its lost vigour. You are becoming more confident and certain about your own individuality, almost forgetting that once you were that modest or inhibited.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Parental figures could have pushed the envelope to the point that your relationship might have been negatively affected or issues concerning your property have given you some upheavals. You will soon recover the peace you once knew.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your mental capacity was in overdrive mode. Dealing with heavy, overly serious thoughts might have drained you to the point that speaking up was no easy task for you. Do not despair. You will have more than just the rights words!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Insecurities concerning financial shortages or the lack of money might have made your world a living hell. Gradually, a renewed luck will give you relief wherever your bank account situation is concerned.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are coming back to your senses. Your usual reassurance and your own identity you once thought as gone astray, will find their way back to you. As a result of this testy experience, you will come out stronger and braver.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Feeling lost in translation might have been your motto for the past few months. Insecurity and fear issues will slowly dissolve into the past, while you will be telling yourself that you are now more in touch with your core self than ever before.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You must have done a thorough cleaning in your circle of friends. Circumstances were such that you had no choice but exclude certain acquaintances from your life. You are more certain whom you should align yourself with.

MILAN, Italy — Dean and Dan Caten harken to the simplicity of the techno-colour 1950s and early 1960s when “fashions were gay and colorful,” for next summer’s looks for women.

The DSquared2 collection, which previewed on the first day of Milan Fashion Week on Wednesday, was decidedly sexy with a wink at bygone notions of modesty. Hourglass figures are amply rewarded here.

Many of the looks centred around the idea of swimwear — although the fabrics and accents, including raffia, sequins and beading, were too precious to actually take a dip — and would look swell on the frolicking girls who populated Elvis Presley’s colorful beach films Fun in Acapulco or Blue Hawaii.

One-piece swimsuits were laced up the back and had a short, skirted hemline.

Bikinis were pure 1950s, featuring high-waisted bottoms and seductively pushedup tops.

Both could be worn under open blousons, or short-tailored jackets with such accents as peplums and tuxedo collars. The transition from beach to boardwalk is only for the daring.

The designer twins also included strapless dresses with large, flouncy skirts that finished below the knees, and Capri pants with swingy tops.

The colour pale ranged from black and white, to bright orange, turquoise and reds, and bold graphic prints.

Oversized sunglasses, sometimes with cat frames, bangles of every sort and bell-shaped raffia hats finished the looks.

Shoes were sling-backs or strappy stilettos.

Red Green’s fall Canadian tour stops at the Red Deer College Arts Centre on Monday, Sept. 30.

Handyman turned marriage counsellor RED GREEN TACKLES ALWAYS TIMELY TOPIC OF MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

Having mastered the fine art of duct-tape repair, Red Green is ready to wade into substantially deeper waters with his new how-to book on understanding women.

Red Green’s Beginner’s Guide to Women (For Men Who Don’t Read Instructions) is coming out in time for Green’s fall Canadian tour, which stops at the Red Deer College Arts Centre on Monday, Sept. 30.

The plaid-shirted champion of underachievers everywhere is a self-declared specialist on a whole ream of things — including how to build your own airplane (“The first step is — don’t,” Green cracks).

Therefore, he feels fully qualified to put on his marriage counsellor hat and tackle the always timely topic of male-female relations.

“I’ve already written a How to Do Everything book,” Green says, so why not branch out even further? “I’m interested in covering a whole lot of subjects — it’s

as if I have ADD.” Anyone who’s watched the popular Red Green TV show, now in syndication, will know that the bearded host has been married to his off-screen spouse Bernice for eons. It should come to no surprise that Green’s real-life counterpart, actor Steve Smith, has similarly been wed to Morag for 46 years.

“My wife’s a good one,” says Smith, who doesn’t believe his better half has changed much over the decades. “Women stay the same, it’s men who have to get smarter.”

While his stage persona, Green, arguably isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, Smith believes he has learned some common wisdom about marriage over the years. Among the homespun advice Green dispenses is: “Women always have the last word in an argument. Anything after that is just the beginning of the next argument.”

Green also opines that menopause is an elaborate cover up. “She’s actually been taken over by aliens.

It could last up to 10 years, but eventually they’ll decide to abandon the project — it’ll be too much for them — and she’ll come back. You have to wait for

it.”

Smith’s own words about women are less pithy, but somehow ring truer. “What women want is for you to care about what they want,” says the comic actor, who noticed his audience is always interested in relationship humour.

“Every time I talk about husband and wife stuff, it gets the strongest reaction.”

Smith isn’t sure why the Red Green character strikes a chord with men of a certain age. “I guess I represent a certain generation and I’m pleased that my point of view somehow typifies how they feel.”

The Red Green Show has now run on PBS for some 20 years. Smith says, “It’s the longest-running Canadian show on an American network, ever.”

Green has pockets of fans living in New England, Texas and the Pacific Northwest, but most reside in the American Midwest. Smith says Green’s U.S. fans “are like Canadians with guns. Down-to-earth people, with solid moral values.”

Tickets for the 7 p.m. show at the RDC Arts Centre are $65.80 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

A textbook case of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ INSIDIOUS HEADS INTO THE NEXT CHAPTER WITH THE SAME CAST AND THE SAME SCARES Insidious Chapter 2 Two stars (out of four) Rated: 14A

BY BRUCE DEMARA ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES “Is there something wrong with Daddy?” asks an anxious Dalton of his even more worried mother.

Quick answer: yes.

After battling successfully in Insidious to bring Dalton back from the dark netherworld where unhappy spirits reside known as The Further, Daddy, aka Josh Lambert, is in desperate need of a periodontist (his teeth keep falling out), a dermatologist (for his suddenly flaky skin) and very possibly an exorcist.

Insidious Chapter 2 picks up where the first one left off: the day after the night before when Josh (played by Patrick Wilson), possessed of an evil spirit, strangles the grandmotherly medium Elise.

Josh remembers nothing and the police are on the case. But it’s pretty clear that earthly authorities are going to be of little use to the troubled Lambert family.

To the list of other films from which horrormeister James Wan derives his inspiration for the second Insidious instalment, add The Shining (1980), sans the snowbound inn.

This time, a new medium has been brought in by Josh’s mom, Lorraine (Barbara Hershey), this one armed with a set of what look like Boggle dice. Nerdy ghost busters Specs and Tucker are back, and so is Elise (Lin Shaye), who seems to bear no ill will for her rather brutal departure from the first film.

Having found a successful formula in the original — which made almost $100 million worldwide — Wan sticks with the maxim of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” right down to the shimmering opening credits, the ominous score and the sudden scares.

The plot barely matters; there’s a new mystery to unravel: who is bedevilling Josh and his family? This time, while the evil spectre may have questionable parenting skills, at least she isn’t a silly Darth Maul look-alike.

The performances are also pretty much on par

Insidious Chapter 2 picks up where the first one left off: the day after the night before when Josh (played by Patrick Wilson), possessed of an evil spirit, strangles the grandmotherly medium Elise.

At the with the first, with Rose Byrne as Josh’s wife Renai, even more anxious to protect her children, and the always watchable Hershey getting an expanded role.

Wilson gets to extend his range a little further from

the skeptical dad in part 1 to a Jekyll-and-Hyde wannabe. And dead or alive, Lin Shaye’s Elise as the ghost medium is awfully good.

If there is a fundamental flaw in Chapter 2, it’s that it will make absolutely no sense unless you’ve seen the first one.

Those who enjoyed the first will find the second chapter perfectly serviceable and, to Wan’s credit, he’s capable of generating plenty of chills without resorting to gore.

Fans will be pleased to learn Wan’s clearly not finished with the Insidious franchise, with yet another cliffhanger ending much like the original, this time with a new family set to be put through the paranormal wringer.

NEW YORK — Dads, a new multicamera, laughtrack sitcom produced by Seth MacFarlane that premieres this week, has a very sweet opening credit sequence.

As a strummy song with lyrics like “Daddy took me to the zoo” plays, sepia-colored photographs accumulate on screen of fathers doing adorable things with their young sons.

It is the most misleading credit sequence I have ever seen. Dads, a show about two annoying grown men’s extremely fraught and contentious relationships with their two unbearable fathers, is sourer than fermented lemonade, and that’s before it turns acrid with the taste of casual racism.

If, in this new, subpar TV season, describing a show as one of its “best” is not that complimentary, describing a show as one of its worst means something special: Dads is the worst new comedy in quite some time.

Giovanni Ribisi and Seth Green star as Warner and Eli, friends who run a video game company together. (Their hit game is Kill Hitler, one of the show’s very few decent jokes.) Warner is preppy and neurotic. He’s married with children and wears a tie to the office.

Warner’s father, Crawford (Martin Mull), has moved in with his son, having lost all of his money in a series of bad investments. But his ego is still intact.

He walks around Warner’s house like he owns it, naked and making a mess, because Warner cannot bear to confront him.

Warner tells his wife that yelling at his dad is like yelling at a golden retriever, but it shouldn’t be that hard to scold a golden retriever who’s an oblivious narcissist leaving his junk all over the house.

Eli, a grungy beardo who rocks T-shirts at work, teases Warner about his relationship with Crawford with smug satisfaction. Eli and his dad, David (Peter Riegert), who divorced Eli’s mom when Eli was 5, have a more confrontational style, in which they are barely nice to each other. It works, because David’s far away. But when David comes to visit, in short order he has Eli as worked up as Crawford has Warner.

Both fathers have a common ancestor: Archie Bunker. David is crotchety and stubborn and just a little less racist than Crawford.

Crawford shows up at the office and scuttles a business deal when he screams, before a group of Chinese investors, “The Chinese are a lovely and honorable people, but you can’t trust them! There’s a reason Shanghai is a verb!” David mistakes Warner’s wife, Camilla (Vanessa Lachey), for a maid, just because she is Latina.

For a show to pull off this kind of character, it helps to make clear that it does not share his worldview — that it wants the audience to laugh at how racist the racist is being and not just laugh racistly.

Dads fails catastrophically on this count because the two guys who should be rolling their eyes or, more realistically, panicking about all the dumb things their dads are saying, are too busy being racist themselves, though it’s not clear the writers know just how questionably the boys are behaving.

For that business meeting with the Chinese investors, Warner and Eli have their employee Veronica (Brenda Song) dress up like a “sexy Asian.”

NEW YORK — The smiles were large and the hopes even bigger — but the odds were long.

As many as 700 boys and girls attended an open casting call on Sunday to try to win six spots as von Trapp siblings in the upcoming NBC live broadcast of The Sound of Music opposite Carrie Underwood.

During a grueling day, the hopefuls were split up into seven rooms in the Grace Church School so casting directors from the Telsey + Company agency could weed out the potential gems.

After an initial screening, potential candidates were sent to a special room overseen by agency founder Bernie Telsey, who estimates he saw at least 80 children. He said he fell in love with about 10 candidates and will call-back up to 25 to be seen by the show’s directors.

“I think we found someone from that open call.

Someone from that will be in the show. That’s how confident I feel,” Telsey said later. Next stop: A singing and dancing role in front of millions live on TV on Dec. 5. “That’s so exciting. It’s wild when you think about it that way,” he said.

The spots available were for Louisa, Brigitta, Marta, Gretl, Friedrich, and Kurt von Trapp. The role of Liesl, the eldest of the seven von Trapps, will be filled by a professional since it’s a larger role, including tackling the song Sixteen Going on Seventeen.

The rest of the cast will be made up of Tony Award winners Audra McDonald, Laura Benanti and Christian Borle.

Art project focuses on peace

BY MIKI KIMURA

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES HIROSHIMA, Japan — Three major museums in Hiroshima are holding exhibitions in a collaborative art project aimed at expressing people’s wishes for peace centered around acclaimed sculptor, Isamu Noguchi.

The Art Arch Hiroshima 2013 project will continue until Oct. 14. The exhibitions at the three museums each have an individual theme based on Noguchi’s philosophy and works.

After Hiroshima was destroyed in the 1945 atomic bombing, Noguchi (1904-88) designed the Peace Bridge and the West Peace Bridge, both close to the museums, on Peace Boulevard in the city.

Born in Los Angeles to Japanese poet Yonejiro Noguchi and U.S. writer Leonie Gilmour, he lived in Japan as a child and returned to the United States when he was 13 years old. Due to his JapaneseAmerican background, he tried to build his identity by traveling across the world and called himself “an internationalist.”

The exhibition entitled Peace Meets Art! held at the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum remembers his career using three keywords — “regeneration,” “conversation” and “peace.” The exhibition features Noguchi and other artists who created works for cross-cultural communication, or express a hope for peace.

Notable among the displays is Noguchi’s Junin (Inhabitant), a combination of bronze and aluminum with different textures; Toshio Tabuchi’s Kento (Dedicated Fire), a creation inspired by the floating lantern ceremony held on the anniversary of the bombing on Aug. 6; and 132 5.ISSEY MIYAKE, jointly created by Issey Miyake, a Hiroshima native who experienced the bombing when he was seven years old, and the project team Reality Lab. 132 5.ISSEY MIYAKE is a piece of cloth. When it is worn by a person, its form becomes cubic, giving viewers the impression of a traditional kimono.

The Isamu Noguchi: Sources of His Art exhibition being held at the Hiroshima Museum of Art traces Noguchi’s development through the works of artists who influenced him.

Among the artists is abstract sculptor Constantin Brancusi, whom Noguchi met in Paris.

Noguchi saw Brancusi’s Bird in Space series, in which forms are reduced to simple oval shapes with the aim of exploring nature’s basic forms. After seeing the works, Noguchi departed from his traditional statuary style and began making simple, strong forms such as Foot Tree.

A model of a cenotaph for victims of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima designed by Isamu Noguchi, on display at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art. The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art is holding the SITE: Places of Memories, Spaces with Potential exhibition featuring works of contemporary artists in Japan and overseas who were inspired by the locations. The exhibition uses Noguchi’s rejected design for a cenotaph for the departed souls of victims in the bombing. The cenotaph was meant to be placed at the Peace Memorial Park.

The underground section of the arched sculpture has a space to keep the lists of victims. This can be reached from the opening above ground through a narrow staircase, which looks like a birth canal leading to a womb.

The structure was meant to be a bridge between the past, the present and the future by mourning the dead while also indicating birth and the renewal of life. However, as Noguchi was a citizen of the United States, which dropped the atomic bomb, his plan was rejected.

Instead, the two local bridges designed by Noguchi serve as a memento to his wish.

Noguchi named the Peace Bridge Tsukuru (To Build), and made the parapets look like a rising sun.

He named the West Peace Bridge Yuku (To Depart), and modeled the parapets on the bow of a ship.

The naming was intended to symbolize life and death and also depict a human’s life.

Featured artists include Iraqi-American Michael Rakowitz, who focuses on the turmoil caused by the Iraq War. The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist (Recovered, Missing, Stolen Series) created by Rakowitz is a group of works made using wrapping paper available in the Middle East. The different pieces are replicas of art that used to be housed at the Iraq Museum but were lost to looting or arson. The work remembers the destruction and feelings of loss in his nation.

At a time when this country is striving to recover from the scars caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, learning about Noguchi’s spirit in Hiroshima, which overcame the destruction of war, can offer us great guidance.

Fall TV season a lacklustre bunch of shows

STORY FROM PAGE D2

DADS: Problematic That way she can tee-hee provocatively at their prospective clients, which is the same kind of fresh satire found on Pax Dickinson’s Twitter feed and ends up helping the guys’ business quite a bit. The episode ends with some family bonding: the two sons, their two dads, and Veronica joking about how small Asian men’s penises are.

Fox knows that Dads is problematic. At the Television Critics Association press tour this past August, Fox chairman Kevin Reilly pleaded with critics not to judge the show based only on the first episode.

“Here’s a thing about Dads that I really ask you to put in context. That’s a pilot,” he said. “You know the lineage of these writers. They come out of Family Guy. They are the best writers. These guys are going to try to test a lot of boundaries. They are going to try to be equal-opportunity offenders.”

Michael Sheen as Dr. William Masters and Lizzy Caplan as Virginia Johnson in Showtime’s provocative Masters of Sex, which builds its story in a controlled and stylish manner. is undergoing profound change. Traditional viewership models are waning now that the customer has crowned himself king, cut his cords and brags to whomever will listen that he no longer has a cable or satellite bill. (He has a big broadband Internet bill and various commitments to subscriber-based streaming services for his many, constantly upgrading devices, but somehow that doesn’t apply.)

We are now at a multimedia moment where the concept of a “fall season” — with its emphasis on advertising, ratings and a flood of new shows all premiering within days or weeks of one another — seems like an ancient and outdated ritual. That it happens to be the way many, many millions of peoThis term, “equal opportunity offender,” only comes up in the context of shows that are not funny.

It sounds a lot less acceptable when you translate it into what it really means: “racist and belittling and obnoxious to everyone and everything,” as if comedy, unlike people, should not be discerning.

Dads would be much better if it were an unequal opportunity offender, aimed at deserving targets,

like, to name just four, the insufferable, mindlessly bigoted, poorly behaved guys at its center.

Let’s get right to it: this is a lousy fall TV season, the most lacklustre assortment of new shows I’ve seen since I became The Washington Post’s TV critic in 2009.

I kept reaching for the word “flat” as I wrote reviews of 30 dramas and comedies premiering between now and November. After typing “flat” so many times, I got out the usual synonyms — uninspired, disappointing, boring, unimaginative, rote, predictable, same-old.

It’s not that there aren’t bright spots or areas of potential; there always are, but this is the first time I haven’t been able to give any show an “A” based on its first episode or two. (I usually give at least two or three A’s in our annual fall TV preview — last year’s were ABC’s Nashville, Fox’s The Mindy Project and PBS’ Call the Midwife.)

The highest grade I’ve given this year is a lone B+ to Showtime’s Masters of Sex. Just below that, I think Trophy Wife and Lucky 7 are fairly good; Ironside was a smoother and more sophisticated remake than I expected; Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will likely appease the geek chorus that awaits it. But from there it’s a sharp drop — a whole lot of C’s, and more D’s and F’s than there ever should be, especially in the comedy genre.

Mediocrity is nothing new to television; anyone who has ever sat longer than an hour in front of one (yes, even in its glorified past) knows that. And there’s a good argument to be made that when it comes to TV, much of what we find comfort in is the lukewarm, easy-on-the-brain stuff. Not every show has to be the next cultural watershed event.

However, as you’re doubtless aware, television

ple still ingest television doesn’t mean that it will be for much longer. The market is changing fast.

This is a crucial fall for not only the big four networks, but also the cable channels — anyone who wants to sell content and advertising to an audience willing to watch. If ever there was a season when the networks needed to improve their content and send out a message that TV is here to stay, it would be this one.

They haven’t brought it.

They have brought some familiar excuses and caveats, however: the midseason looks really exciting!

We’ll be doing more “event” miniseries and specials!

You can stream us anyplace, anytime! Don’t judge a show by its pilot episode! And, my particular favorite, came during the TV Critics Association summer press tour when Fox’s chairman of entertainment, Kevin Reilly, whipped out some initial bad reviews of CBS’ Big Bang Theory when it premiered in 2007, to demonstrate how wrong critics can be. (This was Reilly’s subtle tactic for pre-defending the Seth MacFarlane-produced Dads, a show that has become for me emblematic of the sad and broken state of TV. Even if Dads becomes a huge hit, I can still smell its rot from over here and I stand by the F I’ve given it.)

As a critic, it’s difficult sometimes to steer clear of the stereotype of being a joyless crank. To check myself and my mood this season, I calculated the gradepoint averages of the last five fall seasons, based on how I (and my predecessor) reviewed the new shows.

The metaphor couldn’t be more apt: if TV were a student, it would be facing academic probation and unable to participate in activities, because this year it has earned a 1.88 GPA. What do you when your kid brings home that sort of report card? You think about punishments. You exploit new reserves of guilt and shame. And you make a new rule: no more TV until things improve.

Death toll from Mexican storms rises VICTIMS RECOUNT HORROR OF MUDSLIDE THAT BURIED VILLAGE, TOTAL RISES TO 97 DEAD

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ACAPULCO, Mexico — With a low, rumbling roar, an arc of dirt, rock and mud tumbled down the hillside in the remote mountain village of La Pintada, sweeping houses in its path, burying half the hamlet and leaving 68 people missing in its mad race to the river bed below.

It was the biggest known tragedy caused by twin weekend storms that struck Mexico, creating floods and landslides across the nation and killing at least 97 people as of Thursday — not counting those missing in La Pintada.

Interior Minister Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong said soldiers have recovered two bodies and continued to dig through the mud.

He said that the work has been difficult because water is still running down hills in the area and there is risk of more landslides.

All of the nearly 400 surviving members of the village remember where they were at the moment the deadly wave struck on Monday afternoon, Mexico’s Independence Day. Nancy Gomez, 21, said Thursday that she heard a strange sound and went to look out the doorway of her family’s house, her 1-year-old baby clutched in her arms.

She saw the ground move, then felt a jolt from behind as her father tried to push her to safety.

She never saw him again.

He’s among 68 missing in the slide or a second one that fell and buried victims and wouldbe rescuers alike.

When the rain-soaked hillside, drenched by days of rain during Tropical Storm Manuel, gave way, it swept Gomez in a wave of dirt that covered her entirely, leaving only a small air pocket between her and her baby.

“I screamed a lot, for them to come rescue me, but I never heard anything from my mother or father or my cousin,” she said as she lay on a foam mattress in a temporary shelter in Acapulco, her legs covered with deep welts. Eventually, relatives came from a nearby

house and dug her and the baby out.

The missing from La Pintada were not yet included in the official national death toll of 97, according to Mexico’s federal Civil Protection co-ordinator, Luis Felipe Puente.

Some 35,000 homes across the country were damaged or destroyed. Chong said he now had a list of names of 68 missing La Pintada residents, but suggested that some may be alive and may have taken refuge in neighbouring ranches or hamlets.

Government photos show major mudslides and collapsed bridges on key highways, including the Highway of the Sun, a major four-lane expressway that links Acapulco to Mexico City. All the main arteries to the Pacific Coast resort town remained closed Thursday.

Federal officials set up donation centres for storm aid Thursday, but they faced stiff questioning about why, instead of warning people more energetically about the oncoming storms, they focused on Independence celebrations and a military parade that kept dozens of aircraft and emergency vehicles in Mexico City, instead of the states where they were most needed.

Congressman Manuel Huerta of the leftist Labor Party said “the underlying issue is that the federal government bears a large part of the responsibility for this tragedy.”

Federal security spokesman Eduardo Sanchez brushed off the criticism, telling reporters that emergency “protocols were followed strictly.”

Manuel, the same storm that devastated Acapulco, gained hurricane force and rolled into the northern state of Sinaloa on Thursday before starting to weaken, falling again to tropical storm strength.

Sinaloa Gov. Mario Lopez Valdez says 100,000 thousand people have been affected by the storm and that one fisherman drowned in the village of Yameto. He didn’t say if that death is included in the national toll.

already flooding and more than 2,000 people were evacuated, many from small fishing villages on the coast.

Manuel weakened to a tropical storm by Thursday afternoon after hitting Sinaloa as a Category 1 hurricane earlier in the day, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

The centre said it would continue to spread heavy rains inland.

And a tropical disturbance was moving toward Mexico’s soggy Gulf coast even as the country struggles to restore services and evacuate those stranded by flooding from Manuel and Ingrid, which hit the Gulf coast.

So isolated is Acapulco that cargo ships have been contracted to supply food to the city by sea.

Hundreds of stranded tourists remained lined up for a

Saldana, 43, a single mother who lost her four boys — twins aged 5, another aged 7 and the eldest, 17 — in the landslide in La Pintada.

Saldana had gone down to town’s main square for an Independence Day celebration, a rare time off for villagers who spent most of their days working in their coffee plantations. Because it was raining, Saldana told her sons to stay home while she went down to the square to get some of the free hominy stew being given away.

Then she heard the landslide, a low rumbling that villagers described as sounding like an earthquake. When she ran back to where her house once stood, it no longer existed. “I tried to get back to my kids, but I couldn’t” Saldana said between sobs. “I feel bad, because I lost everything.”

second day Thursday at an air base on the outskirts of Acapulco, where military aircraft were slowly ferrying people out of the resort.

Increasingly angry and frustrated by the long wait overnight and in the rain, they began to block army trucks heading into the base with what stranded travellers believed were wealthy, well-connected people or foreigners cutting the line to get a flight out. The angry crowds forced the trucks to detour a few blocks along the beach to get to the base.

Mexican officials said that more than 10,000 people had been flown out of the city on about 100 flights by Wednesday evening, just part of the 40,000 to 60,000 tourists estimated to be stranded in the city.

How the red flags got missed WASHINGTON NAVY YARD SHOOTER HAD CLEAN BACKGROUND CHECKS DESPITE RED FLAGS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The government’s sprawling system of background checks and security clearances is so unreliable it’s virtually impossible to adequately investigate the nearly five million Americans who have them and make sure they can be trusted with access to military and sensitive civilian buildings, an Associated Press review found.

Case after case has exposed problems for years, including recent instances when workers the government approved have been implicated in mass shootings, espionage and damaging disclosures of national secrets. In the latest violence, the Navy Yard gunman passed at least two background checks and kept his military security clearance despite serious red flags about violent incidents and psychological problems.

The AP’s review — based on interviews, documents and other data — found the government overwhelmed with the task of investigating the lives of so many prospective employees and federal contractors and then periodically re-examining them.

The system focuses on identifying applicants who could be blackmailed or persuaded to sell national secrets, not commit acts of violence. And it relies on incomplete databases and a network of private vetting companies that earn hundreds of millions of dollars to perform checks but whose investigators are sometimes criminally prosecuted themselves for lying about background interviews that never occurred.

“It’s too many people to keep track of with the resources that they have, and too many people have access to information,” said Mark Riley, a Maryland lawyer who represents people who have been denied clearances or had them revoked.

The Pentagon knows there are problems. Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered a sweeping review of all military security and employee screening programs. “Something went wrong,” he said.

Separately, Congress has asked the inspector general at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to investigate how a clearance was awarded to Aaron Alexis, the Navy IT contractor who killed 12 people Monday inside a Washington Navy Yard building before he died. Just weeks ago, the Navy had warned employees under its new “insider threat” program that all personnel were responsible for reporting suspicious activity that could lead to terrorism, espionage or “kinetic actions” — a military euphemism for violence.

“The clearance piece of this is one, I think, we very clearly have to take another look at,” said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The Navy Yard itself reopened for normal operations on Thursday, but it was hardly business as usual. Returning employees said they felt unsettled.

Workers who streamed by the red brick wall of the Navy Yard in the early morning sun said it was too soon to talk about the week’s violence.

FBI Director James Comey said investigators were still working through video evidence, but fresh details of the shootings were emerging.

Comey said Alexis entered the Navy Yard in a vehicle, parked in a deck across from Building 197, entered carrying a bag, went into a fourth-floor bathroom and came out carrying a Remington 870 shotgun. The shotgun was cut down at both ends — the

File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This Wednesday, July 31, aerial photo shows the Thai Buddhist temple in Raynham, Mass., under construction.

According to Eang Tan, a board member at the temple, Aaron Alexis visited the temple on Aug. 18.

Authorities say Alexis, a former U.S. Navy reservist, killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday. stock sawed off and the barrel sawed off a bit — and ammunition was stowed in a cargo pocket on the outside of his pants.

Almost immediately Alexis started to shoot people on the fourth floor with no discernible pattern, Comey said. Alexis also went down to the lobby, shot a security guard and took the guard’s handgun, continuing his shooting until he was cornered later by a team of officers and killed after a sustained gunfire exchange.

“It appears to me that he was wandering the halls and hunting for people to shoot,” said Comey.

Alexis had worked for a Florida-based IT consulting firm called The Experts. He had been refreshing Pentagon computer systems, holding a military security clearance that would have expired five years from now.

Alexis’ employer said it had had no personnel problems with him and two separate background checks revealed only a traffic violation. But there were trouble signs below the surface. Public records databases used in those kinds of searches can be spotty repositories of arrest records, court dockets and other information.

“The only thing that the security-clearance process is intended to protect is the security of the United States,” said Shlomo Katz, a government contracts lawyer who has been issued a clearance himself and is an expert on the process. “The system is not

designed to protect the lives of our co-workers, and therefore I don’t view it as a failure of the system.”

Alexis’ employer — and possibly the government — missed how, in September 2010, Alexis’ neighbour called police in Fort Worth, Texas, after she said she was nearly struck by a bullet shot from his downstairs apartment. When police confronted Alexis about the shooting, he said he was cleaning his gun when it accidentally discharged. Alexis was arrested on suspicion of discharging a firearm within city limits.

The checks also missed how, six years earlier, Seattle police arrested Alexis for shooting the tires of another man’s vehicle in what he later described as an angry “blackout.” Police said two construction workers reported seeing a man, later identified as Alexis, walk out of the home next to their worksite, pull a gun from his waistband and fire three shots into the rear tires of their car before he walked back home.

No charges were filed in either the Fort Worth or Seattle incidents.

The Experts said it had most recently used a company called First Advantage of Alpharetta, Ga., to search Alexis’ past for criminal involvement. A First Advantage spokeswoman said Thursday The Experts asked only for a typical employment background check that only returns information on convictions, not merely arrests.

Group releases ‘suspicious activity reports’ REPORTS ON AMERICANS GATHERED BY TERRORISM OFFICIALS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Two men of Middle Eastern descent were reported buying pallets of water at a grocery store. A police sergeant reported concern about a doctor “who is very unfriendly.” And photographers of all races and nationalities have been reported taking snapshots of post offices, bridges, dams and other structures.

The American Civil Liberties Union and several other groups released 1,800 “suspicious activity reports” Thursday, saying they show the inner-workings of a domestic surveillance program that is sweeping up innocent Americans and forever placing their names in a counterterrorism database.

Shortly after the 9-11 attacks, the federal government created a multibillion-dollar information-sharing program meant to put local, state and federal officials together to analyze intelligence at sites called fusion centres.

Instead, according to a Senate report the Government Accountability Office and now the ACLU, the program has duplicated the work of other agen-

cies, has appeared rudderless and hasn’t directly been responsible for any terror-related prosecutions.

According to the GAO, the government maintains 77 fusion centres throughout the country and their operations are funded by federal and local sources.

The ACLU obtained about 1,700 suspicious activity reports filed with the Sacramento office through a California Public Record Acts request. Another 100 were submitted as part of a court case in Los Angeles filed by the ACLU on behalf of photographers who say they are being harassed by Southern California law officials.

The documents do not appear to show valuable counterterrorism intelligence.

A report from Bakersfield, phoned in to a police officer by a “close personal friend,” describes two men who appear to be of Middle Eastern descent stocking up on water.

Another report shows a Lodi police sergeant “reporting on a suspicious individual in his neighbourhood.” The sergeant, whose name was redacted, said he “has been long concerned

about a residence in his neighbourhood occupied by a Middle Eastern male adult physician who is very unfriendly.”

A third report states, “An off-duty supervising dispatcher with Sacramento P.D. noticed a female subject taking pictures of the outside of the post office in Folsom on Riley Street this morning. The female departed as a passenger in a silver Mazda.”

The fusion centre project was a target of a blistering Congressional report last year complaining that too many innocent Americans engaging in routine and harmless behaviour have become ensnared in the program.

The ACLU and others are calling on the Obama administration to make overhauls so that only activities with legitimate links to terrorism investigations are reported.

“We want the administration to stop targeting racial and religious minorities,” ACLU lawyer Linda Lye said.

A Senate report last year concluded that the program has improperly collected information and produced little valuable intelligence on terrorism.

The report suggested the program’s

intent ballooned far beyond anyone’s ability to control.

What began as an attempt to put local, state and federal officials in the same room analyzing the same intelligence has instead cost huge amounts of money for data-mining software, flat screen televisions and, in Arizona, two fully equipped Chevrolet Tahoes that are used for commuting, investigators found.

The lengthy, bipartisan report was a scathing evaluation of what the Department of Homeland Security has held up as a crown jewel of its security efforts.

Homeland Security officials didn’t respond Thursday to the ACLU’s criticism.

Homeland Security Department spokesman Matthew Chandler at the time the Senate report was released called it “out of date, inaccurate and misleading.”

He said it focused entirely on information being produced by fusion centres and didn’t consider the benefit to involved officials from receiving intelligence from the federal government.

U.S. sees sharp disagreement with China over Syria

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged Thursday a sharp disagreement with China over how the international community should respond to the use of chemical weapons in Syria and urged Beijing to play a “positive” role in the U.N. Security Council on the issue.

China has strongly opposed strikes on Syria by the U.S. or its allies, in response to an Aug. 21 chemical attack near Damascus that the U.S. blames on government forces and says killed more than 1,400 people.

In the council, where China holds veto power, it has joined with Russia in opposing action against Syria.

Kerry spoke at the State Department before a meeting and working lunch with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who reiterated the need for political talks to end the violence in the Middle Eastern nation that has killed an estimated 100,000 people and displaced 2 million more.

“While we appreciate China’s support for a political solution — the only solution we believe is ultimately available and possible — we do have differences between our nations and have disagreed sharply over how the international community should respond to the Syrian regime’s use of chemical weapons,” Kerry said.

“With negotiations ongoing at the Security Council, we look forward to China playing a positive, constructive, important role,” he said — seeking support for strong resolutions to implement an agreement

‘WHILE WE APPRECIATE CHINA’S SUPPORT FOR A POLITICAL SOLUTION — THE ONLY SOLUTION WE BELIEVE IS ULTIMATELY AVAILABLE AND POSSIBLE — WE DO HAVE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OUR NATIONS AND HAVE DISAGREED SHARPLY OVER HOW THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY SHOULD RESPOND TO THE SYRIA REGIME’S USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS.’ — JOHN KERRY, U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE

forged by U.S. and Russia to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international supervision.

Wang said China was keeping an “open mind” on issues up for discussion Thursday, including Syria, North Korea’s nuclear program, climate change and cybersecurity, which is a thorny issue in U.S.-China relations.

He welcomed the agreement between the U.S.Russia, which now needs to be endorsed by Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons — whose board is scheduled to meet on Sunday. Wang said the Security Council needs to recognize and support the organization’s decision.

Thursday’s discussions are the latest chapter in an effort to strengthen U.S.-China ties after a June summit in California between President Barack Obama and China’s President Xi Jinping.

Despite U.S. reluctance to restart talks with North Korea before it recommits to nuclear disarmament, Wang sounded upbeat about the prospects for longstalled international negotiations that were traditionally hosted by China, which is Pyongyang’s only

major ally.

Wang said he would discuss with Kerry how to relaunch the six-nation talks and push forward the denuclearization process. “I am confident that we will be able to reach new, important agreement,” he said, without elaborating.

But afterward, there was no indication of progress.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the U.S. position has not changed.

She said Kerry detailed to Wang “several disturbing developments” that indicate North Korea continues to flout its previous commitments to denuclearize.

Concerns over North Korea’s nuclear program have deepened since it conducted its third underground atomic test in February. There are also signs it is restarting a plutonium reactor that can produce fissile material for bombs.

Pyongyang wants the nuclear talks to restart without preconditions.
