Resurrecting men’s team no easy task BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF It was a dark day in early 2004 when Red Deer College pulled the plug on the Kings hockey team after almost 40 years. The team’s alumni chipped in close to $40,000 during the 2003-04 season alone to keep the team alive. But in the end they couldn’t continue to support the team if the college didn’t have funds available. “It was very much a financial decision but a tough decision that had to be made,” said RDC director of athletics Keith Hansen, who was the Kings volleyball coach at the time. Over the last decade, there has been much talk about bringing back the team, which was started in 1968. The turning point was a comment by RDC president Joel Ward, after a pointed challenge by former coach Mike Babcock. “The last three or four years there’s been some serious talk, but honestly it wasn’t until we started the Athletic Leadership Fund (ALF) and until president Ward said they would make it happen that it became a reality. When Joel said that, a lot of people went to work and made it happen. A lot of credit to Joel for making that decision. It was a big call on his part.” Ward, and the college, were challenged in 2010 by former Kings head coach and current Detroit Red Wings boss Babcock during a speech at the RDC Scholarship Breakfast to bring back the team. “The challenge got the ball rolling and Joel followed in a positive way,” said Hansen. “And then credit to everyone at the college to come up with a plan where all the money is coming from outside sources. None of it is coming from college dollars. That’s a huge part of getting it back.” The ALF received a number of significant donations to resurrect the team. “We couldn’t be where we’re at without those individuals, and companies,” said Hansen. “At this time, and what happened lately regarding provincial funding (to post-secondary education, from the provincial government), it was exactly what we needed.” A year ago, the final decision was made to bring the team back and Trevor Keeper was named head coach. Since then, Keeper has worked to put together a competitive roster. And this week, the Kings played their first Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League regular season game in

Kings head coach Trevor Keeper on the bench with the team as they take on the Vikings during preseason play at the Penhold Arena. more than 10 years. Hansen believes it was “super important” to have men’s hockey return. “Hockey is the most important sport in Canada and it’s an important cog in our athletic program,” he said. “I’m a little biased but I believe we have the premier college athletic program in Canada.” Kings hockey joins such high-profile programs as Queens hockey, and Kings and Queens volleyball, basketball and soccer. “I believe it’s important to provide Red Deer and Central Alberta kids with a place to combine their academics and athletics. If you look at the alumni, you see individuals who have stayed and filled significant roles in the community. They’re leaders in our community. “Without a hockey team, these players are going to other teams and other communities and not returning.” The return of men’s hockey will only benefit women’s hockey, said Hansen. “I believe it adds to it,” he said. “I
was at the first exhibition game and the Queens were all there supporting the men. I’m sure the men will support the Queens when they open their season. I believe it’s important to have men’s and women’s teams in all the sports.” The return of men’s hockey means plenty of choices for college sports fans. “It’s part of having a full sports program,” said Hansen. “For the most part, the conference wants games on Friday and Saturday to get away from academic conflicts. At times, we’ll have split crowds but that’s the reality of having extra teams.” The Kings have received full support from the Red Deer Rebels of the WHL, said Hansen. “They’ve supported us and hopefully they look at us as a place for some of their players to go after they’ve finished junior. I believe we can feed off each other — there’s enough hockey fans to go around. Enough fans who want to watch hockey.”
The Kings will play all their home games at the Penhold Regional Multiplex. “It’s not overly big, more like our main gym where you fill it and it will be rocking,” Hansen said. “We want the town’s people to get behind the team and I’m sure they will. Once they come and watch the brand of hockey, they’ll want to return. And for $50 for a season ticket, it’s very affordable family entertainment.” And the Kings shouldn’t be pushovers. “Trevor did a great job of recruiting and I really believe we will be in the playoffs,” said Hansen. The Kings have signed an agreement to play in Penhold for several years, at least until the college finds the funds to built its own facility. That could happen sooner if Red Deer is granted the 2019 Canada Winter Games. “We want to get the facility but I can’t say much right now,” concluded Hansen. drode@reddeeradvocate.com
Calgary police arrest sovereign renter on outstanding warrants BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A so-called sovereign citizen who is said to have claimed a Calgary rental property as his “embassy” has been removed from the home after a two-year battle with the senior who owned the place. Calgary police swooped in in the wee-hours of Friday morning and arrested Andreas Pirelli, who investigators confirm is also named Mario Antonacci, on several outstanding warrants issued by courts in Quebec. Other people remained in the house Friday afternoon, but an eviction company said it was preparing to clear them out over the weekend. Rebekah Caverhill said she rented her beige-brick, bungalow-style duplex to Pirelli in November 2011. He came at the recommendation of a friend and promised to fix the place

up in exchange for a few months’ free rent. But she said he soon identified himself as a follower of the Freemenon-the-Land movement, claimed the property as an embassy, changed the locks and placed a lien on the home. Caverhill cried tears of joy when she heard of the arrest Friday. “I’m so grateful,” she said in an interview with The Canadian Press from her home in Sylvan Lake, Alta. “I am glad that this is just about over. I am glad that justice is served. I am glad that I was persistent and I am glad, somehow, people will be warned.” Pirelli had been facing an eviction notice, but the process hadn’t been expected to occur until Saturday morning. Police didn’t wait, making the arrest on the warrants a few hours after two officers visited the home Thursday evening. It came off without a hitch, said Calgary police Insp. Darrell Hesse.

“It went relatively smoothly,” he said. “They were able to make contact with that individual and they took him into custody without incident.” Melissa Costea, manager of Foster and Company Landlord 911, said an eviction will still go ahead on the weekend to remove anyone still in the home. Hesse said Pirelli, 48, will remain in custody until he is transported back to Quebec. Details of the transfer will be worked out in the next six days. Larson said he didn’t anticipate any further charges being laid in Calgary. He said the case is a prime example of why both renters and landlords need to fill out the appropriate forms. “If you are a renter or, on the other side, a person who is doing the renting, you need to make sure that you are doing the right thing,” he said. “When there is no paperwork, it causes significant issues for the authorities to

deal with.” Pirelli was accused of pushing a landlady down a flight of stairs in Montreal in 2007. Jocelyne Malouf alleges that he broke her pelvis, arm, wrist and ankle. Malouf said she was then picked up and thrown onto the street. An arrest warrant was issued in May 2010 when he failed to show up during his assault trial. Malouf said she had allowed the man to house-sit rent-free for five months while its occupant was out of the country. She told The Canadian Press she had problems when she asked him to leave. She said he claimed the property as an embassy and told her he would keep it without paying. “They’re bringing him back? My God, that’s good news,” Malouf said from Montreal Friday. “I feel pretty good about that. It’s pretty good news for many, many, many people.”

Veer wants Red Deer known as ‘City of Choice’ BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer simply being known as Alberta’s thirdlargest city is not good enough for Tara Veer. The mayoral candidate wants to see the city rebranded as “the City of Choice.� “In my view, framing ourselves as the third largest city has not been as effective as it could be because we’ve been defining our community identity relative to the urban centres to the north and the south, instead of positioning ourselves as the city of choice,� said Veer. The three-term councillor running for mayor held a press conference on Friday to announce the fifth and final theme in her platform, to “mobilize our
community will to ‘make the possibilities happen.’ � An important part of that, she said, is to capitalize on the city’s central location in marketing Red Deer to the rest of the province and other levels of government. “In the absence of Red Deer defining our identity and community image, people fill in the blanks for us,� she said, “There is a perception throughout Alberta of people who just drive by Red Deer and have a perception that their drive-by view of Red Deer is all we are. “People who have the privilege of living here know that we are certainly so many other things, but in the absence of presenting our best community image, and providing other Albertans with a compelling reason to come here, they will continue to have that perception of us.�
Veer held the press conference in a downtown parking lot west of City Hall Park. The lot adjacent to the City Centre Stage is city-owned, but the current council gave Red Deer College the right of first refusal on it if the land is sold. She said the lot is a symbolic location of the potential and possibilities that exist for Red Deer going forward. But she said such potential will only be realized if municipal government partners with different sectors in the community. “We absolutely have to pool our energy, our time and our resources if we are going to make headway on some of the community dreams that exist,� said Veer, stating she is a community mobilizer who can bring people and groups together. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

A local financial advisor and former Edmonton police officer has been ordered to stand trial for the bombing death of a young wheelchair-bound mother. Brian Andrew Malley, 56, is charged with firstdegree murder, causing an explosion likely to cause harm and sending an explosive device. Victoria Shachtay, 23, was killed on Nov. 25, 2011, while opening a package delivered to the door of her home in Innisfail. A three-week preliminary hearing on the case finished up on Friday in Red Deer provincial court. A preliminary inquiry is held to determine if there’s enough evidence to warrant an accused be tried in Court of Queen’s Bench. Evidence from a preliminary hearing, including the names and roles of various witnesses, cannot be made public until introduced at trial. Malley was released from custody on June 29, 2012. The case goes to Red Deer Court of Queen’s ALBERTA HERITAGE Bench for arraignment on Nov. 4.

look at diversifying our economy. I think we do that by encouraging small business and encouraging innovation and allowing them to create an economy for the 21st century.� A University of Calgary tax expert floated the idea of bringing in a provincial sales tax to smooth out revenue bumps this week. However, Clark said he’s not convinced a sales tax would ever find favour among Albertans and it is not one of his party’s planks. It will be up to voters to make that call, either through a plebiscite or by electing a party running on that platform. On the health front, his party wants to see stability and long-term funding commitments. “Stability is absolutely critical in an organization like health care. What organizations of that size don’t do well with is shocks to the system, one way or the other.� pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

New Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark has big plans for the 600-member party. “Our goal is very clearly to run candidates in all 87 ridings in the next election,� said Clark, a 42-year-old Calgary technology consulting entrepreneur. Clark took the reins of the party after beating out Calgary businessman Troy Millington in a leadership contest last weekend. His goal is to build on the existing constituency organizations, recruit new members and fundraise. He was in Red Greg Clark Deer on Friday to meet with local party members. A business plan he created for the party maps out an vision to take it through the next two provincial elections. The goal is to double the party’s membership every year before the next vote in 2016.
“We have a strong focus on adding members, and we have fundraising targets as well,� said Clark, who has left the business world to become full-time party leader. The formerly right-of-centre Alberta Party was reshaped to provide a centrist alternative to existing political players. Its current incarnation was created in 2010 when the party united with Renew Alberta, a progressive group that was looking to create a political party. While it wants to give Albertans in all ridings an opportunity to mark an “X� next to a party candidate in the next election, the focus will be on a few select ridings in the early going. Clark sees room in the existing political landscape for a party with new ideas. Among the concerns he’s been hearing from Albertans is the province’s overreliance on unstable resource-based revenues. To smooth out the province’s market-induced financial peaks and valleys, the party proposes remodelling Alberta as an “energy superpower� focused on all energy sources, not just the non-renewable resources that have been this province’s bread and butter for decades. He envisions creating a Silicon Valley focused on energy and related research. “From a position of strength, I think we need to

munching on grass, loitering on sidewalks, forming bunny bunches and gangs that surprised and sort of disturbed even us seasoned animal lovers. It seems that that old adage about “breeding like rabbits” is, like many adages that are old, completely true. And sure enough there in front of me, just down the street, was a small café (or possibly a pub) in a hotel. Oh, and also, more rabbits. These ones were grey and there were three of them and they had just finished hopping across the street and appeared to be waiting for me, just sitting on the sidewalk doing whatever rabbits do when they are not doing you-know-what. Looking for carrots I imagine. I didn’t have any carrots and so they gave up on me and disappeared into the deep dark flowerbeds around the hotel, presumably to wait for the next human to come along who might have a carrot. “Hmm,” I thought to myself again, as I ventured into the hotel to procure some hearty junk food, “This rabbit thing probably isn’t very good.” At which point the hotel clerk looked at me like I was a bit off, on account of I had actually said that part out loud this time. And sure enough the next day, as
the BH and I drove off to return home, we took a closer look and the streets were positively blooming with bunnies and rabbits etc. It’s amazing how, once you learn how to spot wildlife, you start seeing them everywhere. “They sure are cute,” says the Better Half, who is always saying things like that. “Yes, they are,” I said, “but you didn’t see them when it was dark and scary.” And then we both remembered the bunny epidemic in Kelowna. It got so bad, I don’t even want to tell you what they did there. Except that it involved hiring a couple of people with rifles and, unfortunately, I’m not kidding. They don’t have public rabbits in Kelowna anymore, which is kind of a shame, I guess. But I just tell myself that they all emigrated in a mighty mass migration across the vast and treacherous Rockies and relocated to Canmore.

whole thing goes runaway. The feedbacks are natural sources of warming that we activate by raising the average global temperature just a modest amount with our own greenhouse gas emissions. The consensus number used to be plus two degrees Celsius, but some scientists now argue that the real threshold may be as low as plus 1.5 degrees C. There are three main feedbacks. As the highly reflective ice and snow that covers most of the polar regions melts, the rate at which the sun’s heat is absorbed goes up steeply over a large part of the planet. We are creating a new warming engine that will shift the planet’s heat balance, and once it has started we can’t turn it off again. There is reason to believe that it’s already too late to avoid this one. The protective covering of floating ice that has shielded the Arctic Ocean from solar heating for so long is now going fast, and we will probably see an ice-free Arctic Ocean in the August-September period as early as the 2020s. Mercifully, this is the smallest of the three major feedbacks in terms of its impact — but it triggers a bigger one. The warmer air and water in the Arctic then starts to melt the permanently frozen ground and coastal seabed (permafrost) that extends over more than 10 million square km (three million square miles) of territory, a considerably larger area than Australia.

This melting releases a huge amount of methane that has been locked into the ground for millions of years. Methane is a far more effective warming agent than carbon dioxide, and so we spin closer to runaway. Finally the oceans, as they warm, release some of the vast quantities of carbon dioxide they absorbed in the past, simply because warmer water can contain less dissolved gas. Most of the excess heat in the Earth system has been going into the oceans in the past few decades, which is why the rise in land temperatures seems to have slowed down. But that is no real consolation: it just means that the biggest feedback is also being activated. Those are the killer feedbacks. Earth has lurched suddenly into a climate five to six degrees C higher than now a number of times in the past. The original warming usually came from massive, long-lasting volcanic eruptions that put a large amount of CO2 into the atmosphere — but in every case it was feedbacks like these that carried the planet up into a temperature regime where there was a massive dieback of animals and plants. We are the volcanoes now. Our own emissions would take a long time to get us up to really high average temperatures worldwide, but all we have to do is pull the trigger on the feedbacks.

Canada is doing better – maybe POLOZ NEEDS TO BE MORE ANALYTICAL, NOT ANOTHER ECONOMIC CHEERLEADER Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz, with his rah-rah Vancouver speech on the economy, sounds more like a member of the Harper government than an independent central bank governor. But Canadians need a central bank governor who is more analytical in his pronouncements, not another economic cheerleader. In his latest public speech, in Vancouver, Poloz rhapsodized about the looming return to what he called “natural economic growth.” He contended our economy is at a “tipping point from improving confidence into expanding capacity.” Maybe. Unfortunately, his speech DAVID failed to acknowledge serious CRANE challenges in the economy. Much is made of Canada’s job recovery from the dark days of mid-2009. And clearly, we have done better than the U.S. But our employment rate — the percentage of people of working age who actually have a job — remains too low, and lower than before the recession hit, while our unemployment rate remains too high, higher than before the recession hit. Moreover, young Canadians are having an especially tough time in finding regular, full-time jobs, as opposed to shorter-term contract employment, wages and benefits of workers with regular jobs are being File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS squeezed, and two-tier compensation systems are growing in number. We have widening income and Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz: he would inspire more confidence if he moved beyond debatable wealth inequality. assumptions and focused on serious problems.

BRIEFS
Top Kenyan official says military caused mall collapse NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya’s military caused the collapse of three floors of the Westgate Mall in the deadly terrorist siege, a top-ranking official disclosed Friday, while the government urged patience with the pace of an investigation that has left key questions unanswered. Seven days after 67 people, including two Canadians, were killed in the attack on the upscale shopping centre, there is still no clear word on the fate of dozens who have been reported missing and no details on the terrorists who carried it out. The account of the roof collapse raises the possibility that the military may have caused the death of hostages in its rescue attempt. An undisclosed number of people are feared to be buried in the rubble. The official said autopsies will be conducted on any bodies found to determine the cause of death — from the militants or the structural collapse. The high-ranking government official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to divulge sensitive information. The official also confirmed that Kenyan troops fired rocket-propelled grenades inside the mall, but would not say what caused the floors to collapse, if the action was intentional, or if it was an accident. The account at least partially backs up information given to AP on Wednesday by another official who said RPGs fired by soldiers created a gaping hole in the mall’s roof and caused the floors to collapse. Four huge explosions had rocked the mall Monday and dark smoke poured out — the likely time that the floors collapsed.
others were still missing and the search continued, said Alok Awasthi, local commander of the National Disaster Response Force. Friday’s disaster was the third deadly building collapse in six months in Mumbai, in a country where shoddy construction and lax inspections make such disasters all too common. Relatives of the missing wailed and clung to one another, as heavy machinery lifted the largest slabs of concrete away. Dozens of workers hacked away with crowbars at the flattened remains of what was once a five-story building. Eight people were confirmed dead by late afternoon, Awasthi said.
Obama speaks to Iran’s Rouhani WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke by telephone Friday, the first conversation between American and Iranian presidents in more than 30 years. The exchange could reflect a major step in resolving global concerns over Iran’s nuclear program. Obama told reporters at the White House that he had a constructive conversation with the Iranian leader. “While there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution,” he said. Obama said he and Rouhani have directed their teams to work quickly to pursue an agreement. He said the U.S. will co-ordinate closely with its allies — including Israel, which considers an Iranian nuclear weapon capability to be an existential threat. The fact that it had been so long since American and Iranian presidents had traded words reflected the “deep mistrust between our countries,” Obama said. But he added that it also indicated the opportunity for moving forward. “I do believe there is a basis for a resolution,” he
said.
Sudanese protesters call for the regime’s ouster as anger grows over price hikes KHARTOUM, Sudan — Security forces fired at Sudanese protesters with bullets and tear gas Friday as thousands took to the streets despite a fierce crackdown that rights groups say has killed dozens of people this week. The regime of President Omar al-Bashir is trying to stifle public anger over fuel price hikes from turning into an Arab Spring-style uprising against his 24-year rule. The marches in one of the world’s poorest countries — where nearly 50 per cent of population lives below the poverty line — have turned into the heaviest domestic challenge yet faced by al-Bashir, who has so far been spared the sort of anti-authoritarian popular revolts seen around the Arab world in the past two years. Though he maintains a strong grip on the regime, al-Bashir has been increasingly beleaguered. The economy has been worsening, especially after South Sudan broke off and became an independent state in 2011, taking Sudan’s main oil-producing territory. Armed secessionist groups operate in several parts of the country.

Caribbean Hideout: Nevis
INTIMATELY TINY, REMARKABLY UNSPOILED
DEBBIE OLSEN
TRAVEL They say that Diana, Princess of Wales, chose Nevis as a hideout following her divorce from Prince Charles, and as I wandered along the beach near my resort I could see why — there wasn’t a soul in site. I like to think the people’s princess had her own “eat, pray, love” moment somewhere on that sleepy little Caribbean island. At less than 100 square km in size and with a population of just 12,000 souls, Nevis is intimately tiny and remarkably unspoiled. The smaller of the two Leeward Islands that comprise the federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, Nevis has the kind of relaxed vibe and rustic charm that you always picture when you think of the Caribbean, but seldom actually find. A single ring road circles the entire island, so the odds of getting lost are slim. As one local put it, “If you don’t know where you are, just get on the main road and drive and eventually you will be back where you started.” Taking that advice to heart, we rented a fourby-four from Funky Monkey Tours and decided to see what we could see. Not surprisingly, our first stop was a pair of abandoned sugar mills. There was a time when Nevis was covered with sugar plantations and in the early 18th century, an estimated 20 per cent of the British Empire’s sugar supply came from Nevisian plantations. In those days, the sugar fields stretched high up the volcanic slopes of Mount Nevis and sugar mills dotted the landscape. When the bottom dropped out of the sugar market, most of the rich plantation owners left and the mills fell into ruin. Today, some have been transformed into unique hotels and some still sit as crumbling reminders of the island’s rich industrial past.

From Oualie Beach, you can see views of St. Kitts; Wander down to Fisherman’s Beach on a Saturday morning and you can watch the fishermen bringing in their catch, weighing and selling it. You’ll probably be the only tourists there; Charlestown is remarkably rustic for a capital city, but that is part of the charm. There are plenty of interesting locals to meet on the island. The vendors we encountered were not pushy.
If you go ● Most travellers fly into St. Kitts, drive across that island and take a 45-minute ferry ride to Nevis, but it is also possible to fly directly into Nevis from St. Kitts, St. Maarten, Antigua or Barbados. Return air from Calgary or Edmonton to St. Kitts will cost about $1,100 per person including taxes (depending on the season of travel) and requires at least one connection. ● Top accommodations: Four Seasons Resort (fourseasons. com/nevis), Montpelier Plantation (montpeliernevis.com), Golden Rock Inn (goldenrocknevis.com), Hermitage Plantation Inn (hermitagenevis.com), Oulie Beach Resort (oualiebeach.com) and the Nisbet Plantation (nisbetplantation. com). Diana stayed at Montpelier Plantation during her visit.
I stayed at the Oulie Beach Resort and the Golden Rock Inn. Most plantation resorts are not beachfront, with the one exception being the Nisbet Plantation, which is the only beachfront plantation property.

ABOVE: Exploring the ruins of abandoned plantations is part of the fun of a self-drive island tour and the New River Plantation is one of the most accessible. New River was the last sugar mill in operation on the island. It closed its doors in 1958 and you can check out an old steam engine, a tall brick tower, a cistern and the ruins of the Great House. BELOW: Restored sugar plantations are among the most interesting accommodations on the island. Most aren’t beachfront, but have beach views. The Golden Rock Plantation Inn is owned by acclaimed artists Brice Marden and Helen Harrington. The splashes of reds and greens against the stone, the tiered gardens and the colourful gingerbread cottages make it a stunning island retreat.
STORY FROM PAGE B1
NEVIS: ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ moments around every corner Two of the most accessible ruins are New River and Coconut Walk Estates. Located on the east coast of the island about 25 minutes from the capital city of Charlestown, New River was the last sugar mill in operation on the island when it closed its doors in 1958. As we exited the vehicle, I noticed a small herd of goats treading gingerly through the ruins. Wandering around the site, we were able to check out an old steam engine, a tall brick tower, a cistern and the ruins of the Great House. From New River, we drove along a goat trail to Coconut Walk — so named for the tall coconut trees that once lined the borders of the walk. The key ruins of this mill include the tallest windmill on the island and a stone lime kiln that was once used to fire coral to produce lime for plaster and cement for the construction industry. Being all alone at an abandoned historical site was a bit eerie and as I stood on the windswept rocky shore between the ocean and the ruin, I couldn’t help wondering what this place would have been like in the days of slavery. Back on the ring road, we went in search of sustenance and ended up at a local lunch shack called Rodney’s. The proprietor, a stout middle-aged Nevisian woman named Rodney, has created a menu of Caribbean classics. “I don’t sell burgers and fries,” she assured us. “If you come to the Caribbean, you want Caribbean food. You try my coconut Johnny cakes, salt fish and breadfruit cheesy. That’s what real Nevisians eat.” I have to admit, I almost felt like a real Nevisian as I left Rodney’s. She doesn’t know it but I still think of her as my Nevisian aunt. “My mother always wanted a boy,” Rodney confided as we were leaving. “And after six girls, she just
decided to name the next baby Rodney — no matter what.” Back on the ring road, we weren’t sure where to go next. But on Nevis, it doesn’t really matter which direction you choose — “eat, pray, love” moments are around every corner.

A voyage like no other EXPLORE NOOTKA SOUND ON CANADA’S WEST COAST ON THE VESSEL THE MV UCHUCK III BY CAROL PATTERSON SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE “Wake up — there’s a sea otter!” Going from zero to sea otter in 30 seconds was more than my sleepaddled brain could process and I missed one of Canada’s most rare animals. My luck changed when we spotted three killer whales leaping from the water as they chased fish. They surfaced repeatedly, so near to the boat you felt like you would smell fish on their breath if the wind changed direction. This may sound like a whale watching tour but it was anything but. I had hitched a ride on the MV Uchuck III, a working supply vessel plying the waters of Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island’s northwest coast. If paying to watch someone else work sounds like a strange holiday, you might be surprised at how much fun you can have onboard a freighter. The Uchuck III started its career as a minesweeper in the 1940s and was reinvented as a supply vessel for logging camps, fish farms and aboriginal communities with no road access. Up to 100 passengers tag along to peek at a lifestyle vastly different from one with roads and bigbox hardware stores. There is no set itinerary on the Uchuck III and no one tells you exactly where you will be going — just that you will return to your starting point of Gold River, a community of 1,500, by suppertime — more or less. If the captain takes longer to offload fuel or stops to watch whales, you will be late for dinner. It was a bit like that when Capt. James Cook sailed these waters in 1778. His first encounter with Canada was at Nootka Sound, where he was so enamoured with the sea otters that he stayed to trade for pelts and to claim the land for Britain. Unfortunately for Cook, Spain had already claimed these lands. But Spain had opted for drive-through trading, swapping metal for pelts while anchored and never sending ashore a landing party. That decision almost led to war as Britain and Spain — ignoring the 4,000-year presence of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht people — disagreed over who had title to the land and lined up their allies. The Dutch backed Britain in the dispute and France sided with Spain. With these superpowers threatening each other, the world’s eyes were on Nootka Sound for 20 years. War was averted when France decided it was overextended from the French Revolution and Spain searched for a negotiated settlement. By then, the sea otter population had been overhunted and the world lost interest in Nootka Sound. Now, the world is paying attention again as adventure-seeking tourists come from all over the planet to ride the MV Uchuck III. After the last Canadian sea otter was shot in 1929, a small population of Alaskan sea otters were reintroduced in British Columbia. Now you can see the animals that almost caused a war and enjoy touring the area that spurred our forefathers to extend our country from sea to shining sea.

Burman wins first start BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Rebels 4 Pats 1 The Red Deer Rebels weren’t wonderful but they were plenty good enough to lay a 4-1 defeat on the Regina Pats in a WHL game Friday at the Enmax Centrium “It’s a win. We weren’t great but we weren’t poor either,” said GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “We were probably in that grey area where we had moments when we played well and moments when we made too many turnovers in our zone, especially in the first period when we had 10 turnovers when we had puck possession. “But we found ways to score and Taz was rock solid. He was very steady and calm He looked very cool in net and that’s what we need from him.” Sutter was referring to rookie stopper Taz Burman, who turned aside 16 shots in his first-ever WHL regular-season contest and would have posted a shutout if not for a fluke goal in the first period. Chandler Stephenson accounted for the visitors’ only marker when his pass from the side of the net glanced off a Rebels skate and past Burman. But the impressive freshman, the Rebels’ second-round pick in the 2012 bantam draft, shut the door the rest of the way in front of 5,004 fans. “I felt really good and the guys made it easy for me. There weren’t too many shots and a lot were from the outside,” said Burman, who helped the Rebels stay undefeated at 3-0-0. “I felt good the whole game and the guys made it work for me.” Burman, whose best save was a glove on Carson Samoridny who broke in alone early in the third period, saw plenty of action during the preseason and was clearly prepared for his first serious start. “It’s a bit more exciting in the regular season than in the preseason and there were some nerves to go with that,” he admitted. “I was really excited all day and I’ve been looking forward to this for a week now. It was good to get my first game under my belt.” Fellow 16-year-old rookies Adam Musil and Grayson Pawlenchuk were also impressive up front, with Pawlenchuk cashing his own rebound at 5:34 of the final frame to give the Rebels some breathing room with his

Regina Pats players Dyson Stevenson and Morgan Klimchuk celebrate a first period goal against Rebels goaltender Taz Burman. second goal of the season. “You look at our 16-year-olds again tonight, they were all very good,” said Sutter. “That was a big goal by ‘Pawler’. It’s a 2-1 hockey game and he pushes through off the faceoff, outmuscles a guy and gets to the net, stays on it and gets the rebound. “That was obviously a big goal and a big play by a 16-year-old player. He’s been good and he just needs to continue to develop and continue to grow.” Conner Bleackley opened the scor-
ing for Red Deer with his first goal of the season 4:51 into the contest, taking a feed from Matt Bellerive and beating Pats netminder Dawson MacAuley with a high shot from close range. Stephenson pulled the Pats even 80 seconds later, but Rhyse Dieno picked up a drop pass form Lukas Sutter and ripped low shot past MacAuley at 13:34 to give the Rebels a lead they never relinquished. Following a scoreless middle stanza, Pawlenchuk upped the count to 3-1
in the third and Bellerive added insurance with a power-play tally at 10:25. Bleackley faked a shot from just above the faceoff circle and threw the puck over to Bellerive whose one-timer gave MacAuley no chance. Once again, Red Deer had plenty of third-period finish. The Rebels outscored the Kootenay Ice 6-0 in the final period of back-to-back wins last weekend.

Kings take historic home opener BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Kings 1 Vikings 0 PENHOLD — With many of their alumni on hand Friday was a night to celebrate for the RDC Kings hockey team. For the first time since 2003 the Kings took the ice for a home opener in the Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League. And to put a cap on the evening the Kings recorded an highly entertaining 1-0 victory over the University of Alberta, Augustana Vikings before over 400 fans at the Penhold Regional Multiplex. “It was really exciting . . . there was a great turnout and the fans were really into it,” said Kings netminder Kraymer Barnstable, who turned aside 28 shots for the shutout. “Sometimes when it’s 1-0 there’s not a lot of noise, but they helped us out a lot. It was energizing, something we hope continues.” Barnstable, who played for the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League in the 2009-10 season, helped energize the crowd with a number of outstanding saves. “I didn’t have my best preseason, but then I used it to get the rust off after not seeing any game action with UBC last year,” explained Barnstable,
who decided to look at the ACAC after last season in Vancouver. “Things just didn’t work out, so after the season I sent out some feelers to teams in the ACAC and talked with Keeper (Kings head coach Trevor Keeper). I knew the city and I had some friends here and because of my past here it was an easy decision to make . . . it seemed like a good fit.” Barnstable will share goaltending duties with Mike Salmon, which is fine with the 23-year-old native of Kelowna. “Sammy is great and it’s going to be a fun season. We’ll push each other and hopefully share the games and get a lot of wins.” Friday Barnstable had to share some of the spotlight with his defence, which was playing a bit shorthanded with Kirsten Odendaal out with a knee injury. The defence did a great job of clearing any rebounds and was especially outstanding late in the third period when they killed off a two-man disadvantage for 1:47. “That was a great team effort,” said Barnstable. “I only had to make two or three saves. The guys really stepped up and blocked a lot of shot. It didn’t go unseen.” The coaching staff certainly took notice.

Ticats say stopping Cornish key to defeating Stamps BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HAMILTON, Ont. — If the Hamilton Tiger-Cats want to beat the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday night, they’ll have to stop the run game. Specifically, they will have to stop Jon Cornish. “What the run game allows them to do is obviously control the clock and keep your offence off the football field,” said Ticat head coach Kent Austin on Friday. For the Ticats, Austin said that means being “more efficient” on first downs, and making sure they can sustain long drives. Otherwise, it may be a while before they get the ball back. While the Ticats under Henry Bur-
ris have a league-leading passing attack, throwing for 322.8 yards per game, its ground game is lacking. The Ticats have only rushed for an average 84.2 yards per game, second last in the CFL. The Ticat passing game will also face the challenge of operating without its leading receiver, Greg Ellingson, who is reportedly out with a lower-body injury. He will be replaced by rookie Luke Tasker, who was just signed on Sept. 17 and whose father is former Buffalo Bills pro-bowler Steve Tasker. Meanwhile, the Stamps have a more balanced attack, thanks largely to Cornish who is the CFL’s second-leading rusher with 1,093 yards to date. Calgary is fifth in average passing yards (263
yards per game) and second in rushing (132 yards per game). Former Ticat Kevin Glenn is back as the starting quarterback for Calgary, in a season where the Stamps have had to rely on all three of its pivots. Glenn spent three years in Hamilton before being traded to Calgary in January 2012. But while Ticat linebacker Jamall Johnson agreed that he may know Glenn’s tendencies better than most, stopping Cornish is the priority. “First of all, we’ve got to stop the run,” Johnson said. “I think everything they (Calgary) do revolves around their running back and their running game.” Calgary (9-3) has already clinched a playoff berth and sits atop the West Division, one game ahead of B.C. and Saskatchewan heading into this week.

They are coming off last week’s 33-27 loss to the Toronto Argonauts. Hamilton (6-6) is second in the East Division, behind Toronto, and is hoping to continue the momentum from a 28-26 victory over the Montreal Alouettes in Moncton. “Right now, just to get on a roll, I think that’s the biggest psychological thing that could happen right now because you want to start to peak at the right time,” said Burris, who spent a combined 10 years as the Stampeder quarterback before coming to Hamilton and currently leads the league with 3,765 passing yards.

Lightning capitalize on turnovers RAIDERS, LAKERS BATTLE TO A 10-10 TIE
Lightning 59 Cougars 6 The Hunting Hills Lightning took advantage of everything the Notre Dame Cougars gave them and rolled to an easy 59-6 victory in Central Alberta High School Football League play at Great Chief Park Friday. “They had a lot of turnovers and we were able to capitalize on them,” said Lightning head coach Kyle Sedgwick. “We didn’t have a lot of yardage as we had a short field on a number of occasions and were able to take advantage of that. We also did a good job on punt returns.” Overall the Lightning had 196 yards rushing and 72 passing. On the other side the Cougars had 82 yards on the ground and none in the air. The Lightning scored the first time they had the ball with Ashton Hall grabbing a pass from Jarrett Burzuk and going 32 yards. Tanner Olstad had a pair of touchdowns for the Lightning with single majors added by Jin Ahn, Linden Peterson, Brett Layden, Yonni Rozenfeld and Kayden Hall. Skylar Roth kicked eight converts and a single. A safety rounded out the scoring.

REBELS: Next five games on the road “We’ve been working pretty hard on our conditioning and it’s paying off,” said Bellerive, who also picked up an assist and was a plus-2. The win was extra important considering the Rebels play their next five games on the road, starting tonight against the Hitmen in Calgary. “It was big for us and a great game by Taz. We’re happy we got the win for him,” said Bellerive. Kolton Dixon, a Red Deer native, made his Rebels debut after being acquired from the Victoria Royals Friday. “It’s good to be back in the hometown and it was great playing in front of the home crowd,” said the six-footfour defenceman. “I was expecting the game to turn out the way it did. I was really impressed with the team tonight.” Dixon admitted he was taken off guard when he learned he was heading back to Alberta. “At first it kind of took me by surprise when I was told I was going back to Red Deer,” he said. “Then it clicked in that the Rebels were here and instantly there was a big grin on my face and I was really looking forward to joining the team. “I feel this is a positive transition in my playing career and I’m looking forward to every opportunity I’m going to get here.” ● The three stars were Bleackley, Bellerive and Burman . . . MacAuley, who stopped 34 shots in a 6-0 shutout over the host Edmonton Oil Kings Wednesday, made 23 saves . . . Sutter pared his roster to 25 players — including Mathew Dumba, who is still with the Minnesota Wild — earlier Friday by reassigning 19-year-old defenceman Riley Boomgaarden to the Melfort Mustangs of the SJHL. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

guys as well,” said Sedgwick, who eliminated the 0-3 Cougars from the playoffs. “We knew this would be a big game for them and they have a scrappy team, but our guys came to play. We played with passion from out first guy to our 50th.” The win gave the Lightning a 2-0 record. Ahn had 49 yards rushing on six carries while Matt Russell had 47 yards on six carries, Justin Van Dervelden 31 on one carry and Cole Layden 29 on two. Jesse Kowalchuk had 49 yards on seven carries and Vida 31 of nine for the Cougars. Raiders 10 Lakers 10 The Lindsay Thurber Raiders and Sylvan Lake Lakers both took a step toward making the playoffs as they battled to a 10-10 tie at Great Chief Park. The Raiders saw their record move to 1-0-1 with games against Hunting Hills and Notre Dame remaining. The Lakers sit at 1-1-1 with a meeting against Lacombe next Thursday. Neither team were especially sharp on offence, although give credit to their defences, which came up big when needed the most. “We took some bad penalties and made a couple of other mistakes, but our defence came up big when we needed it the most,” said Raiders head coach Dave Smith. “We didn’t give them anything up the middle, although they did hurt us a couple of times outside and their screen plays hurt. But our screen plays were also big for us.”
The Raiders had a touchdown dropped in the end zone, but the Lakers also took a single off the board on a missed field goal. They took a LTCHS penalty on the play and eventually tried another field goal, which was blocked. The Lakers took the lead at 6:09 of the second quarter on a 25-yard field goal by Aden Smaill, with the Raiders taking a 7-3 lead at 10:06 on a six-yard screen pass from quarterback Braydon Moorman to Alistair Mahood and a Owen Smith convert. The major came two plays after a brilliant catch by TK Kunaka on the three yard line. The Lakers regained the lead at 2:59 of the third quarter on a seven-yard run by Landon Rosene and a Cam Lee convert. Smith kicked a 27-yard field goal at 11:16 of the third quarter to tie the game. The Lakers did a have a chance to win the game on the final play when Smaill tried a 42yard field goal that went wide to the back of the end zone. However, the Raiders kicked the ball back out to end the game, “We have football IQ and that was a smart play,” said Smith, who gave the Lakers credit for a solid two-way effort. “They’ve improved a lot since the beginning of the season,” he said. “And they’ll continue to improve.” Lakers head coach Jeremy Braitenback agreed. “We were a bit slow to the party with some guys coming in late and a
couple of injuries, but we don’t want to peak at the beginning of the season anyway. We want to be there in the end.” Rosene led both teams with 112 yards on 24 carries. Mahood grabbed five passes for 57 yards while Kunaka had five catches for 94 yards. The Raiders face Hunting Hills Friday at 7 p.m. at Great Chief Park. ● In non-conference play the Lacombe Rams downed the Ponoka Broncs 57-0 with Sadair Nobel grabbing touchdown passes of nine, 19 and 36 yards. Lachlan Jacobs kicked seven converts and field goals of 16 and 24 yards while Josh Person scored on a six-yard run and a 31- yard punt return. Judah Knip and Ashton Jones added touchdowns with a safety concluding their scoring. Knip finished with 43 yards rushing on two carries and Person had 42 yards on nine tries. Dallon Perry led Ponoka with 35 yards rushing on five carries. Knip completed six of seven pass attempts for 109 yards and Zach Bailey hit on two of four passes for 31 yards. Nobel had four catches for 84 yards. Ruger Dye hit on six of 12 passes for Ponoka with Jacobi Buffalo grabbing three passes for 45 yards. drode@reddeeradvocate.com
Olds, which trailed 2-0 after two periods following a scoreless opening frame. Winning goaltender Tanner Jaillet turned aside 21 shots while Jake Tamagi made 24 saves for Olds. The Grizzlys take on the Lloydminster Bobcats in their second and final Showcase game today at noon.
The Red Deer Optimist Rebels Chiefs were all over the Calgary Flames in the Alberta Midget Hockey League regular-season opener for both teams Friday at the Arena, but couldn’t put the visitors away early. Despite outshooting their guests 5823, the Optimist crew found themselves in a 2-2 tie before pulling out a 4-2 victory. “It was one of those games where you feel you’re dominating a team but you can’t quite get control of the game,” said head coach Doug Quinn. “We’re up 2-0 and then they score on a five-on-three power play and again on
a bad line change by us. There was a little bit of panic even when we made it 3-2 and we eventually scored a late power-play goal. “It was probably closer than it should have been, but you just can’t let up.” Scoring for Red Deer were Allan Pruss, Layne Bensmiller, Gabe Bast and Brad Makofka, while Jayden Sittler made 21 saves. The Rebels Chiefs return to action today at 4:45 p.m. at the Arena against the Southeast Tigers.

is fifth with 359.3 yards allowed. But the Calgary defence also boasts a couple weapons of which Burris, in particular, will have to be aware. They have two of the league’s top-three sack leaders with Charleston Hughes (13) and Cordarro Law (nine), and Fred Bennett has three interceptions, tied for tops in the CFL. The Stamps and the Ticats met in Calgary on Sept. 13 with Calgary squeaking out a 26-22 victory when back-up quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell hit former Ticat receiver Marquay McDaniel for a 15-yard TD late in the fourth. Austin blames mistakes made late in the game that allowed the Stamps to come back. “We left the door open for them and good football teams will take advantage of that,” he said. “You’ve got to close off a good football team because they will find a way to win.”
Optimist Rebel Chiefs pull out 4-2 victory to open season “We ran into some penalty trouble late, although not bad penalties, but the guys battled and battled to kill them off. I was proud of them,” said Keeper, who has worked hard on the defensive side of the game. “We’ve worked on our defensive zone coverage since Day I. We know we have the speed and the offensive ability to create a lot of shots and when you have players like that you have to get them to buy in . . . buy into the fact that the harder they work on defence and getting the puck out of our zone the quicker they can go on offence. And they did a good job of that.” Clayton Petrie provided all the offence the Kings needed with a outstanding goal at 4:30 of the second period. The Red Deer native grabbed a loose puck in the mid-zone, cut past a Camrose defender and whipped a backhander in off the far post past netminder Andy Williams. That was all the Kings could get past Williams, who finished with 30 saves and received the player of the game away along with Barnstable. Keeper admitted he didn’t really see how many fans were on hand, but liked the atmosphere. “When I’m coaching I don’t notice the fans, but it was a good atmosphere and the guys showed everybody what college hockey is all about . . . how good we are and how good we can be.” The Kings face NAIT in a home-andhome series next weekend — Friday at NAIT and Saturday at 7:15 p.m. at Penhold. Kings volleyball The Kings opened the Concordia University College men’s tournament in Edmonton with a pair of wins. They beat Lethbridge College 25-17, 25-23, 25-14 and Keyano College 25-18, 25-17, 25-17. Tim Finnigan had 16 kills in the first match while Chris Osborn had 14 kills and five stuff blocks in the six games. Kings face the University Saskatchewan and Grant MacEwan today. Queens volleyball The RDC Queens have a 3-1 record in the Battle of the Rockies women’s tournament in Cranbrook.

Riders ground game looking for traction SHEETS RETURN STILL A WEEK AWAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BC Lions’ Adam Bighill recovers this Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ fumble on their first play of the game for a touchdown during the first half of CFL action in Winnipeg Friday.
Lions blowout Bombers BY THE CANADIAN PRESS B.C. 53 Winnipeg 17 WINNIPEG — It was a wet, wild night at Investors Group Field as turnovers helped the B.C. Lions lock up a playoff spot in the West with a 53-17 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Adam Bighill, Nick Moore, Dante Marsh, Cord Parks, Andrew Harris and quarterback Thomas DeMarco had touchdowns for the Lions (9-4). Paul McCallum added three field goals and a couple of singles. Clarence Denmark had both touchdowns for the Bombers (2-11) and Sandro DeAngelis had a field goal. The Bombers poor play hasn’t helped but a cool night and showers also left the stands emptier than they have been all season. The announced crowd of 29,457 seemed generous and was down to only the diehards before the end of the game. Buck Pierce got the biggest cheer of the night when he took over from DeMarco in the third quarter. Winnipeg traded Pierce to B.C. mid-season but their quarterback situation hasn’t improved. Joey Elliott, cut by the Bombers as well before the season started, also saw a little action late in the game for the Lions. The first quarter was a comedy of errors for the Bombers, who opened with a turnover as Will Ford bobbled a lateral pass from quarterback Max Hall on his first play of the game. Bighill, a linebacker, snatched it up in the scramble and took it 30 yards for the Lions’ first touchdown. Things looked up briefly for the Bombers after Hall executed a four-play 54-yard drive and connected with Denmark to tie it up less than three minutes later.
But a coverage gap let DeMarco cap his own short drive with a throw to a wide-open Nick Moore, who strolled into the end zone. The Bombers weren’t done with first-quarter gaffes. Ford and Denmark were back to take the kick and basically just watched McCallum’s 80-yarder bounce between them for a single. A quick downpour made the ball harder to handle and the Bombers got possession on an interference call after a DeMarco sack that led to a fumble. It gave Winnipeg a first down at the Lions 32 but DeAngelis missed a 39-yard attempt. Hall was intercepted in the second quarter on his own 28-yard line, which set up McCallum’s 34-yard field goal at 9:24 to make it 18-7. A little over five minutes later Hall was closing in on the B.C. goal line when he was intercepted again and Dante Marsh ran it back 79 yards for another touchdown. Another single on a 50-yard punt from McCallum made it 26-7 and then Akeem Foster fumbled a pass from Hall and set up Parks 45-yard touchdown return. With about a minute left in the first half, though, Hall connected with Denmark again with a 35-yarder to make it 33-14 at the half. The Bombers couldn’t generate any momentum. Jason Boltus came in for Hall and on his first play threw an interception. It led to DeMarco’s 1-yard run for B.C.’s second offensive touchdown four plays later, making it 40-14 and Harris made it 47-14 with a 16-yard run just before the third quarter ended. Boltus fumbled on a throw on his own 11-yard line to set up McCallum’s 12-yard field goal. DeAngelis kicked a 30-yard field goal with 5:49 left to make it 50-17 but McCallum added another three points for the Lions as well with about a minute and a half left.
REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders aren’t going to rush Kory Sheets back into the lineup. The explosive Saskatchewan Roughriders tailback resumed practising in earnest these last few days. But, despite the fact that he appears to be running well again, head coach Corey Chamblin has decided to give him another week off to rest his injured knee. That means that Chris Garrett, the former Winnipeg Blue Bombers star, will get his second start when the Roughriders line up against the Alouettes in Montreal on Sunday. Garrett gained 30 yards, on nine carries, in his debut in Green and White last week during a loss to the visiting B.C. Lions. Chamblin speculates that nerves might have been a factor for Garrett, and he’s expecting a stepped-up performance now that butterflies in the stomach are no longer a factor. “I don’t think I have anything to prove,” Garrett told reporters Friday. “I’m just looking to go out there and do my best ... I’m ready to go.” Chamblin is hoping a strong running game will restore the confidence of Saskatchewan’s offensive line, and it should help that guard Ben Heenan is returning to active duty after missing several games himself. “I’m not sure exactly what my role will be this week, or how much I will play,” Heenan said, “but I’m looking forward to the game.” In Heenan’s mind the ground attack is no more important than the passing game, “but it does give (opponents) one more thing to worry about.” After opening the CFL season with eight victories in nine games, Saskatchewan has lost three in a row and fallen to 8-4. Chamblin takes solace in the fact that the losses have been by narrow margins. “If we were getting blown out, it would be different,” he said. “But we aren’t.” The previous two losses, in particular, could have gone either way. In back-to-back defeats at Mosaic Stadium, the Roughriders fell by counts of 31-29 to the Toronto Argonauts and 24-22 to the Lions. The losing streak began with a 25-13 upset at the hands of the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg. “Every week’s important,” Heenan said. “I’m not saying this week is more important than any other. To me, the only reason this game is the most important game is because it’s the next game.” Garrett has seen no signs of panic. He said the Roughriders remain confident and are also realistic about their present plight. “You’re not going to win them all,” he said. “If you do, hats off to you. But you are going to lose some.” Saskatchewan wide receiver Weston Dressler concurs with that sentiment. “One game at a time,” Dressler said. “All it takes is a play here or there to turn a game around.” Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant was his same cool levelled headed self, as well. “We want to do whatever it takes to win,” he said. “We need a win to start off these last six games on a good note. We’re going to be fighting for seedings and for home-game advantage. We know that.”
Jays snap Rays 7-game win streak BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Toronto 6 Tampa Bay 3 TORONTO — Jose Reyes scored twice and R.A. Dickey picked up his 14th win of the season as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated Tampa Bay 6-3 on Friday night to end the Rays’ seven-game winning streak. The loss prevented Tampa Bay from moving closer to locking up a playoff spot. The Rays (90-70) entered play one game up on Cleveland and two games up on Texas in the American League wild-card race. Tampa Bay can still host the wild-card game by beating Toronto in both games on the weekend. The Blue Jays (73-87) have been out of playoff contention for weeks and have to settle for a spoiler role as their disappointing season comes to a close. Dickey (14-13) settled down after giving up early solo homers to Ben Zobrist and Delmon Young. The Blue Jays put up four runs in the fourth and added a pair in the fifth as they improved to 39-40 at Rogers Centre this season. Jeremy Hellickson was perfect his first time through the Toronto order. The Blue Jays got the bats going in the fourth inning and took advantage of some sloppy defence.
Reyes singled and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Munenori Kawasaki. Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., reached on an error and Moises Sierra drove in Reyes with a single to right field. With runners on the corners, Anthony Gose hit a blooper to shallow centre field that dropped in for a hit. Outfielder Sam Fuld’s throw to the plate was not in time to catch Lawrie. Ryan Goins followed with a base hit to centre that Fuld misplayed for an error. The ball rolled all the way to the wall, allowing Sierra and Gose to score easily. Goins tried to score himself but was thrown out at the plate for the final out. Hellickson issued a pair of two-out walks in the fifth inning and both runners came around to score. Lawrie singled home Reyes and Kawasaki came across when Sierra reached on an infield single. Wesley Wright relieved Hellickson and struck out Gose with runners on the corners. Hellickson (12-10) allowed six runs — three of them earned — along with six hits and two walks. He had five strikeouts. Tampa Bay loaded the bases in the eighth after two Toronto errors and a walk to Zobrist. Sergio Santos relieved Dickey and needed just one pitch to get James Loney to ground into a double play.

Toronto Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey pitches to the Tampa Bay Rays during first inning American League baseball action in Toronto, Friday.
Dodgers fan stabbed, suspect’s father says self-defense GIANTS-DODGERS RIVALRY TURNS VIOLENT FOR FANS SAN FRANCISCO — It just started as words between two groups of fans of bitter baseball rivals. “The back and forth, ’Go Dodgers!’ ’Go Giants!”’ San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said Thursday. “And it deteriorated from there.” The verbal sparring Wednesday night turned physical and a man, Jonathan Denver, was fatally stabbed hours after the Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Giants in San Francisco. Denver’s father, Robert Preece, worked security on game days at Dodger Stadium, the team said. “There is no rational explanation for this senseless act,” the Dodgers said in a statement. “The pain that this has caused his family and friends is unimaginable.” Meanwhile, the father of suspect Michael Montgomery, accused of stabbing Denver to death, said his son told him it was done in self-defence. Police say Denver, 24, was with his father, older brother and two other people a few blocks from the Giants’ stadium after leaving the ballpark in the eighth inning of the Giants 6-4 victory when their group exchanged words with some Giants fans. The Giants fans didn’t attend the game and
had left a nightclub. San Francisco police said Montgomery, 21, of Lodi, was arrested on suspicion of homicide. Suhr said Montgomery made some “incriminating statements” while in custody that led to his arrest. Another person, whose name was not released, was also taken into custody. Police said they were still looking for two more suspects. But Montgomery’s father said late Thursday that his son was jumped during the fight, and he stabbed Denver in self-defence. Marty Montgomery told the Lodi News-Sentinel that his son said by phone that Denver, who was wearing Dodgers apparel, yelled, “Giants suck,” at Montgomery’s friend, who was wearing a Giants hat, when Denver and others hit his son and their friends without warning. Marty Montgomery said that during the fight, Denver hit his son over the head with a chair, and in self-defence, his son stabbed Denver. “It was a self-defence deal,” Marty Montgomery said. “(Michael) got jumped. (Denver and friends) started swinging chairs and he stabbed (Denver). (Denver) mouthed off about the San Francisco hat. It wasn’t even (Michael’s) hat.” The father said he had been trying
to reach his son on Thursday when his son called him and told him about the fight. “He’s freaking out,” Marty Montgomery said. “He’s like, ’I saw him die in his dad’s arms.”’ Denver was born in Los Angeles
County but was living in Fort Bragg, about 170 miles north of San Francisco, his friend Matt Gomes said late Thursday. “He was an amazing guy who made everybody happy and made them laugh. He was there for everybody,” Gomes said.

Realignment gives NHL a brand new look BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hockey fans in Detroit and Columbus have grown accustomed to the inconvenience. When the Red Wings and Blue Jackets are on the road, they’ve usually had to stay up well past most bedtimes to watch, or wait until morning to find out how their teams did way out West. With the NHL’s first significant realignment in 15 years, everybody can sleep a bit easier this fall. “It’s definitely a lot better for us for rest, economically for our team,” Columbus centre R.J. Umberger said. “It just makes a lot of sense.” The NHL is altering its conference lineups, dropping two divisions and changing the makeup of its schedules in both the regular season and the playoffs. The biggest change sends Detroit and Columbus to the 16-team Eastern Conference, while the Winnipeg Jets head to the 14-team West. Those uneven numbers are the subject of some concern, but there’s no doubt they add up splendidly for the three teams on the move. “I think the travel sometimes takes years off all our lives,” Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard said. “I think (moving East) will be great for us from the travel, even though we’re all used to it now. It will be a lot of fun to play a lot of games in the Eastern time zone. It will be great for our fans, too, not having to stay up until all hours of the night to watch us.” The moves are the culmination of years of debate and manoeuvring. Detroit, which has been in the West-

finals. “I love the four-division format,” said Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau, whose Ducks won the Pacific last season. “I really think for the fan, it’s easy to understand. It keeps more teams involved, and with the crossover, if you’re in a stronger division than others, you’re not necessarily done, because you can always move to the other division.” The NHL Players’ Association initially objected to the uneven conferences, saying it would be tougher to make the playoffs with two more teams in the East. The union dropped the objection after the lockout. “This going to the East in the new divisional concept, it’s going to be a difficult time for any of these teams to make the playoffs,” said John Davidson, the Blue Jackets’ director of hockey operations. “It’s going to be a real battle. We have to understand that. I think we do.” The schedule matrix also has been tweaked after several years of emphasis on divisional rivalries. Every team in the league faces everybody else twice this season, giving fans in every city a chance to see every star. “If I was sitting in the stands, I would tend to think that I’d like to see the Ovechkins come into my building and the Crosbys come into my building,” Boudreau said. The change benefits West Coast fans, but some West teams aren’t looking forward to long Eastern trips on their already mind-numbing travel schedules. “Miles-wise, teams in California don’t get a break, for sure,” Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter said.
NFL Bowman hopes to give Argos defence a headache Rams have lots of room
EDMONTON — Walk into the Edmonton Eskimos dressing room, and odds are the first voice one will hear is that of receiver Adarius Bowman. The six-foot-three, 223-pound slotback, who missed the first nine games with a knee injury, has been an infectious jolt of energy in the room and on the field since he returned to the Eskimo roster three games ago. Two of those games were wins, making the 28-year-old out of Oklahoma State the only Eskimo starter with a winning record this year. As the 3-9 Eskimos put their modest two-game win streak on the line Saturday evening against the 8-4 Toronto Argonauts — who are on a three-game winning run, all on the road — Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly says Bowman’s return has been huge. “Not just physically in what challenges he presents to defences on the field, which is his size and speed and ability,” Reilly said Friday, “but his mental side of the game, the energy that he brings. “You can probably hear him right now in the room; the guy brings a ton of energy. He brings that into the huddle and it’s not fake, it’s genuine. When you get to know Adarius you know it’s not just for show, it’s not just for people to hear him, it’s truly how he feels about the game and that passion kind of bleeds over to everybody else. “So what he brings to our offence I don’t think you can really measure it.” In the three games since his return Bowman has caught 16 passes, including two clutch second-down receptions, for 199 yards and two touchdowns. Fred Stamps, the leading receiver in the CFL this season, smiles when asks what Bowman’s return has meant. “Oh man, Adarius coming back was a big addition to our offence,” he said. “He can do so many things and once
he has the ball in his hands, he’s awesome running with the ball. He’s a high energy guy, makes our offence so much better. All our receivers are doing well, but since AD came back it just gives our offence that little bit more energy that we need.” For his part Bowman, who has 65 yards after his catches, downplays his impact but admits that while sitting out was frustrating, it also gave him a chance to get a new look at the game. “I wouldn’t say the fact of me sitting out was an advantage, but I learned some advantages from a lot of visual work on the field, got to do a lot of seeing rather than physical work so my mental aspect of the game got a lot better,” he said after Friday’s walkthrough. “So I feel there’s a small advantage there.” Plus, he’s fresh, his body is healthy and the knee is not presenting any issues. “No worries about anything,” he said. “The biggest thing is waiting on the next game.” That game is the rematch with the Argos, who beat Edmonton 36-33 in Toronto in a mid-August game that had nearly 1,300 yards total offence. The Argos can wrap up a playoff berth with a win while the Eskimos could pull into a tie with Montreal for a potential crossover playoff spot. Bowman didn’t play in that game and Edmonton coach Kavis Reed is hoping he can swing the outcome with his injection of energy, enthusiasm and confidence. “The way he presents himself on and off the field is absolutely one of confidence, one that says we’re going to overcome,” said Reed. “So he’s very important from a physical perspective, but the intangible perspective is immeasurable. When he came back to practice you could see the difference in the team knowing that Adarius, a big play maker, would soon be available to us.”
Hernandez’ girlfriend indicted on perjury charge BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FALL RIVER, Mass. — The girlfriend of former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez has been indicted on a perjury charge in connection with the killing of his friend, a Massachusetts prosecutor said Friday, bringing to five the number of people facing charges in the case. A grand jury indicted Shayanna Jenkins, 24, on a single count in relation to the investigation into the June 17 killing of Odin Lloyd, Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said. It wasn’t clear what led to the charge. Sutter’s spokesman, Gregg Miliote, said he could not comment until her arraignment, which has not been set. A message left for Jenkins’ lawyer was not immediately returned. Lloyd, a 27-year-old semiprofessional football player from Boston, was found shot to death in an industrial park in North Attleborough, Mass., near Hernandez’s home, where Jenkins also lives. Lloyd had been dating Jenkins’ sister. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and weapons charges in Lloyd’s death and is being held without bail. Prosecutors say Hernandez killed Lloyd because he was upset with him for talking to some people at a nightclub with whom he had had problems. Three others are facing charges in the case. Hernandez associate Ernest Wallace has pleaded not guilty to being an accessory to murder after the fact. Another associate of Hernandez, Carlos Ortiz, also was indicted on the same charge, Sutter said Friday. Ortiz’s lawyer, John Connors, said in an interview that his client will plead not guilty but he had no further comment. Before his indictment, Ortiz had been facing only a gun charge.

for improvement BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Just over 16 hours after a 35-11 loss to San Francisco, St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher was finally able to come to grips with the setback. Fisher angrily stormed out of Thursday’s post-game news conference after just two questions. The 1-minute, 32-second briefing provided little insight into the team’s dismal performance, On Friday afternoon, after a night of sleep, Fisher was able to reflect on the sluggish effort that he called “frustrating.” “But we found out where our team is and what we need to do and where we need improve on,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do as a staff. Fortunately, we have some extra time, some extra days to get focused.” Fisher’s club has dropped the last two games by a combined 66-18, marking the second-worst consecutive defeats in his 19-year head coaching career. Under Fisher in 2009, the Tennessee Titans lost to Indianapolis 31-9 and New England 59-0 in Weeks 5 and 6. St. Louis (1-3) hosts Jacksonville on Oct. 6. Thursday’s loss to the 49ers took a physical toll as well. Safety T.J. McDonald broke his right leg and has been placed on the designated injured reserve list. He will be out at least six weeks, but could return to the team. “We’re fortunate that it will not have to be surgically repaired,” Fisher said. “It is not season-ending.” Cornerback Cortland Finnegan and linebacker Will Witherspoon suffered hamstring injuries and are considered day to day.

Fisher felt the lack of a running game and the inability to stop the 49ers’ rushing attack played major roles in the loss. Frank Gore tore through the St. Louis defence for 153 yards. Offensively, the Rams rushed 19 times for 18 yards. “We’ll get it fixed,” Fisher said. “We’ve got to adjust our offensive philosophy to what’s better suited for us right now, and that’s to hand it off. And then everything else spins off of that.” Despite the rough start to the season, Fisher said his players are handling the adversity well. “They’re really good, they’re going to be fine,” he said. “They’re better than (just) hanging in there.” Quarterback Sam Bradford hit on 19 of 41 passes for 202 yards with one touchdown and one interception. “I thought he did the best he could considering the circumstances,” Fisher said.
Ellis shuts out Oilers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY — Dan Ellis made 20 saves to help the Dallas Stars beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-0 on Friday night in a preseason game. Brett Ritchie had two third-period goals for the Stars at Cox Convention Center, including an empty-netter. Austin Smith beat Devan Dubnyk to make it 1-0 at 11:07 in the first, and Luke Gazdic converted a 3-on-1 rush in the second.

$22,000 raised for Canadian Cancer Society BY SYLVAN LAKE NEWS STAFF The Regency Flooring Drive “Fore” The Cure tournament, held Aug. 16 at Meadowlands Golf Club, raised $22,000 for Canadian Cancer Society and Red Deer Cancer Clinic. Meadowlands general manager Joel Johannson explained that last year’s inaugural tournament was a celebration of the first year anniversary of one of the owner’s wives surviving breast cancer. A majority of the people who attended and raised over $25,000 at that event were from Medicine Hat and other locales outside of Central Alberta. “We ran it again this year but the intent was to create a more local event. Everybody has been affected by cancer,” he said. “Sylvan Lake people stepped up really well. Regency Flooring came on as the major sponsor, brought two teams and provided arrival gifts.” It was a hot, beautiful day when 100 golfers teed off. And they were lucky to get off the golf course just before it was inundated by a huge hail storm. “Everybody had a blast,” said Johannson. The event included live and silent auctions — Troy Gillard of Big 105 was the auctioneer. Also taking an active role were many volunteers, some from the Cancer Society, others breast cancer survivors. Johannson said they’ll definitely be organizing the tournament again next year. There were two categories for golfers. On the competitive side, Bob Bohnet, Jamie Keller, Dean Dereniuk (the club’s golf pro) and Jackie Cross won.

BRIEFS Fundraiser for shooting victim A documentary about the lives of temporary foreign workers in Canada will be shown at a fundraising event for shooting victim Jaysen Arancon Reyes at The Hub. The End of Immigration will be shown during the afternoon between 1 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 19. The one-hour documentary tackles how Canada’s Temporary Worker Program is creating what filmmakers Malcolm Guy and Marie Boti describe as “rent-a-workers” trend in the workforce. Reyes is the 26-year-old victim of a shooting and robbery at the West Park Fas Gas in Red Deer earlier this month. Reyes is recovering at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, where he has undergone multiple surgeries. He came to Canada from Philippines as a temporary foreign worker. Reyes has worked at the Fas Gas since May. The event is hosted by the Filipino migrants group Migrante-Alberta. Following the film, there will be a panel discussion. Proceeds from the event will be forwarded to Reyes’ family through the trust fund established by Parkland Fuel Corp., owners of Fas Gas. Tickets are $10. The Hub is at 4936 Ross St. in Red Deer.
Signs a concern in Lacombe Lacombe is heading for an active election season, judging by the number of signs. So many campaign signs have sprouted up in the community, the city sent out a notice reminding residents and candidates of the rules this week.
“This has become an issue with residents because of the increase in the number of election signs in this election compared to previous elections,” says Michael Minchin, Lacombe’s returning officer. City Hall has already fielded a number of calls about signs. Signs don’t require development permits, nor is there a limit on the number of signs candidates can post. They are allowed on municipal property, including parks and boulevards, as long as they don’t interfere with pedestrians, vehicles or affect traffic sight lines. Candidates must have the owner’s permission to place signs on private property.

He addressed, with little media fanfare, a gathering of Catholic gynecologists, urging them to remember that a doctor’s “ultimate objective” must always be the protection of life. “The culture of waste, which now enslaves the hearts and minds of many, has a very high cost: it requires the elimination of human beings, especially if they are physically or socially weaker,” he said, according to a translation offered by The National Catholic Register. “Our response to this mentality is a categorical and unhesitant ‘yes’ to life. ... Things have a price and are sold, but people have a dignity, worth more than things and they don’t have a price. ... Because of this, attention to human life in its totality has become a real priority of the Magisterium of the Church in recent years, particularly to the most defenseless, that is, the disabled, the sick, the unborn child, the child, the elderly who are life’s most defenseless.” In the end, stressed the Pope, the church must continue to proclaim that, “Each child who is unborn, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, bears the face of Jesus Christ, bears the face of the Lord, who, even before he was born, and then as soon as he was born, experienced the rejection of the world.”

These butterflies soar LATEST CAT PRODUCTION, BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE, IS FANTASTIC Jill Tanner, the bubbly aspiring actress in the 1969 comedy Butterflies are Free, thinks she’s a shoo-in for the female lead in an off-off-Broadway drama. She excitedly confides to her genial neighbour, Don Baker, that her onstage husband was supposed to be an alcoholic character, “but they changed it to a homosexual,” because gay people are so LANA “in” lately. MICHELIN Hmm. Does this seem at all familiar? Switch on the TV today, some 44 years after Butterflies are Free was first penned by Leonard Gershe, and gay characters are still popping up all over the place. Jill’s off-hand remark shows that,
REVIEW
despite the dated, flower-covered set pieces in this witty and touching Central Alberta Theatre play, many of its references, as well as emotions and themes, are timeless. But that’s just one great reason to see the fantastic production that opened Thursday in the Nickle Studio, upstairs at the Memorial Centre. Other reasons are: impeccable and humane acting by a cast of four, led by Nicole Leal, as Jill, and Jordan Galloway, as Don; insightful direction by Tanya Ryga; and a terrific sound track by the Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel and others. The romantic comedy is about a couple of newly independent young people who are trying to find their footing amid changing societal mores in the Big Apple. Don, who’s been blind since birth, lives a highly regimented life. He makes his way around by counting his steps to the laundry, drug store and deli. Jill, a survivor of multiple broken families, thanks to a serial-marrying mom, is a self-declared free spirit, who
won’t be tied down. Throw the two together and they both attract and repel — Jill eventually worries that a relationship with Don will mean taking on more baggage than she’s willing to handle. The affable Galloway and Leal not only share hot onstage chemistry, they establish a natural, friendly rapport that will leave the audience rooting for their characters, despite the script’s quick time frame (Gershe has Jill and Don meeting, falling in love and into conflict in a single day and night). Galloway plays a convincing blind musician, who’s determined to stake out his own territory, far from his meddlesome mother. Leal manages to portray his perpetually perky next-door neighbour without being annoying. Her Jill conveys a naivety about life that was possible in the late 1960s, but is no longer in this more jaded age. One of Jill’s seeming blind spots (pun intended) is her regard for Ralph Austin. The pompous cutting-edge theatre director, well played by Dylan Hopkins, thinks a play is only relevant
if the actors are all spouting profanities — while in the nude. His foil — and the play’s highlight — is Don’s conservative mother, Mrs. Baker, played by Barbara Jean Adams. Adam’s spot-on, deadpan delivery makes her absolutely hilarious — whether Mrs. Baker is responding to Ralph’s arrogance, or reacting to the scantily clad visitor she discovers in her son’s apartment. Adams later pulls a 180 in a heartfelt scene where her character’s love for her son is fully revealed. I can’t imagine audience members watching it without a lump in their throats. Ryga, whose own mother went blind from a genetic condition, obviously had a personal stake in portraying the disability in an honest, respectful way — and succeeded. From the moving moments in this play, it’s clear she also has a handle on the subtleties of the human heart. Go see Butterflies are Free for an entertaining trip back to the future. It continues to Oct. 12. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com
Positively hardcore CANCER BATS STILL DELIVER THEIR MESSAGE WITH MUSCLE, BUT THE MESSAGE HAS SOFTENED BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF “Positive” is a relative term with the Cancer Bats. The three-time Juno-nominated hardcore metal/ punk band has made a habit of stopping in Red Deer to convene with fervid local fans while touring Western Canada. “We love Red Deer!” enthused vocalist Liam Cormier, who feels the Toronto-based group always gets a great reception here. The band’s next stop at The Vat on Thursday, is part of a final tour for the Cancer Bats’ fourth and latest album Dead Set on Living. The 2012 release is described by Cormier as being “pretty positive” — and inspired by folk rock bands like The Fleet Foxes. But if you think that meant toning down the screeching vocals, raging lyrics, shredding bass, or unapologetically heavy guitar, you would be mistaken. “There’s a special place in hell for people like you,” screams the chorus of R.A.T.S. — a song about “dead-end friends,” “low-lifers and haters,” who “break you, leave you” or otherwise deceive you. Breathe Armageddon, a hard-driven political song that speaks of “son of the atom” and “nuclear winter” shrieks, “Everything you know. Always been a lie.” So where’s the positivity? Cormier admitted some of it evaporated when a good friend of the band’s had a heart attack, due to his hard living, just before the recording process. The 33-year-old singer suddenly found himself thinking about death in a more personal way and he wrote Dead Set on Living in response. It’s about someone who decides to break 15 years of bad habits — including drinking, cigarettes, Benzadrine — after a doctor tells him he’s on the fast track to an early grave. The last line of the tune declares “I’m dead set on

The Cancer Bats bring their hardcore metal/punk music to The Vat on Thursday as part of their final tour in support of their fourth album, Dead Set on Living. living” — so there it is: the Cancer Bats’ version of a happy ending. While an underlying anger has always ignited punk and heavy metal, Cormier maintains that sustained rage isn’t really what fuels the Cancer Bats anymore. “When you’re a kid, there’s some frustration there, but that’s not us. We are a lot older ... and we try to balance thing out.” The band still puts out some bitter, reactive songs, but on the positive side, he counts such tunes such as Old Blood (“about never giving up”), Drunken Physics, “a fun song” about the late-night conversations between Cormier and the band’s sound person, and Road Sick, about missing loved ones while on tour. Road Sick (in which a blood trail drips down someone’s face in the video) “definitely is a love song,” said Cormier — although some viewers might be hard pressed to see that. A lot of metal bands have thrown radio the occasional bone, in terms of producing a softer rock song that fits the commercial format of mainstream stations, but Cancer Bats has resisted this over the group’s near decade-long career. While band members have performed their own
head-banging covers of Black Sabbath tunes under the guise of Bat Sabbath, Cormier believes making an intentionally commercial song, just for the sake of getting more radio play, would be selling out. “We definitely love the fans we have,” he said. The group might make a lighter-sounding song if the mood strikes, but “we’ve never even thought about doing it in a commercial sense, just so we could tour with Radiohead or Kings of Leon in a bigger market.” Typical audiences for most metal/punk groups used to be about 50 people. But Cormier said in the last few years, it isn’t unusual for hardcore bands to play for crowds of 1,000 or more. “That’s unheard of ... it’s solely because of the Internet that it can happen.” Cancer Bats, which has shared stages with Billy Talent and Rise Against, and toured North America and Europe, is also made up of guitarist Scott Middleton, drummer Mike Peters and bassist Jaye Schwarzer.

The food puns fly on frantically beating wings — in eye-searing colours and passable 3D — in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, the sequel to the 2009 animated kids’ hit comedy based on the children’s book by Judi and Ron Barrett. Inventor and passionate nerd Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) is looking for a brainstorm to make up for his former failure from the first Cloudy: a machine that turned water into food with disastrous results. Inspired to take a chance on a new creation by meteorologist pal Sam Sparks (Anna Faris) he’s working on a new invention to earn him a coveted slot at The Live Corp., run by his idol, the all-powerful guru, Chester V. But what should it be? Spray-on shoes? A party in a box? Chester (Will Forte), working a Steve Jobs vibe in one of several gags geared to adults in the audience, takes only the top minds to be one of his crew to help build a better tomorrow through technology. Job one is cleaning up Flint’s hometown of Swallow Falls, which is still in a food coma thanks to his now-destroyed invention. Flint lands his coveted job and eases into his new workplace with the help of Chester’s Majordomo (and favourite invention) Barb (Kristen Schaal), an orangutan with a human brain and a fondness for glitter nail polish. Flint, accompanied by his taciturn simian sidekick Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), is so busy trying to be a Live Corp. genius he doesn’t realize he’s alienating his fisherman dad, Tim (James Caan), best pal Sam and the rest of his crew. Not only is he having a rough time at Live Corp., it gets worse when Flint learns that his water-into-food machine is not only still working, it’s now churning out terrifying foodimals — food-animal hybrids. He has to find a way to stop it and save the world. Again. In a Jurassic Parklike aha! moment the camera moves from the shocked friends faces as the screen fills with every imaginable food creature, from graceful, long-necked scallion giraffes to wide-mouthed hippotatomuses, lumbering watermelophants and screeching shrimpanzees. Things get more com-
charming bit involving some clumsy pickles and fishing rods. The same type of visual jokes and laughtergenerating witty asides from the first serving of Meatballs are also on the sequel’s menu. Less welcome is the return of a predictable story, along with an occasionally heavy handed serving of the moral to our tale. Still, at its heart, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is fun, even if it is occasionally so chaotic it tramples the movie’s flow like a herd of stampeding Buffaloafs. For the most part, there’s nothing wrong with playing with your food, especially when it plays back in such delightful ways. Linda Barnard is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

Kimmel, Kanye West feuding? LOS ANGELES — Jimmy Kimmel and Kanye West either are engaged in a bitter feud or a wild parody of one. A skit poking fun at West on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday provoked an irate call from the rapper about an hour and half before Thursday’s show, Kimmel said in his monologue. “He is very angry because of a bit we aired this week,� Kimmel said, in which a child re-enacted an interview that West gave to Britain’s BBC. It was “pretty innocuous,� the late-night host said. But West ordered him to make a public apology and said Kimmel’s life would be “much better� if he did so, Kimmel said, adding that West also called himself the most powerful voice in media. Then came more than a half-dozen tweets posted on West’s official Twitter site. One called Kimmel out of line for spoofing what West called “the first piece of honest media in years,� and another referred to photographers trying to get shots of West’s baby daughter with Kim Kardashian. “Jimmy Kimmel, I don’t take it as a joke. ...

Drake shrugs off criticism of his sensitivity NEW YORK — As Drake walks into the room, his body language projects an air of confidence. On any other day, it may go unnoticed, but on the eve of releasing his third album, Nothing Was the Same, there’s a look of satisfaction in his eyes. The mere mention of the record brings a smile to his face. He describes it as “an album that you have to listen to front to back and then go over and listen to it again.” That’s pretty bold considering that his last album, Take Care, won a Grammy Award this year for best rap album. But brashness counts as a virtue when it comes to hip-hop stars. So does aggression and machismo, which some critics find lacking in Drake. Though he’s sold millions and has critical acclaim to go with the pop success, he’s frequently criticized as “soft.” Many of the attacks centre on his willingness to show his sensitive side, evident in songs like Marvin’s Room or Find Your Love. “I’m just being me, and part of being me is being in touch with emotion. That’s all I write about. If I didn’t write about my emotions, I don’t know what else I would write about. I’d make
songs about generic things that nobody could relate to and I probably wouldn’t be in this position that I’m in right now,” said Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, in an interview Monday. Drake says he can “laugh off a lot of it,” but added: “Some of it is tiring and exhausting. I’m emotional, yeah, I guess. Let that be the worst thing in my life, please, not something like drug charges and God knows what else. I don’t get myself in trouble, so if the negative feedback that I do get is the worst thing that’s going to happen to me, then so be it.” Feeling that his sound continues to evolve, he has no plans to shy away from his signature reflective nature. On the record, he addresses issues with family and friends, even high-profile friends like Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. Neither performed with him on the record, but he claims it’s not personal. “That’s my label, that’s my team, so whenever they’re ready to pull something together, I’d love to be a part of it,” he said, referring to his Cash Money Records mates. On the 13-track Nothing Was the Same, the 26-year-old Canadian wanted to come up with a leaner set of songs because he concentrated too much on quantity on the last album.

C9 Western cities take the lead BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Cities in Western Canada are expected to lead the country’s metropolitan areas in economic growth this year, a report by the Conference Board of Canada says. Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver make up the top five in the board’s latest outlook for 13 Canadian metropolitan areas while Ottawa-Gatineau and Victoria are at the bottom of the list as government spending cuts take their toll. Growth in Saskatoon is forecast to reach 5.2 per cent this year, up from 4.1 per cent in 2012, while Regina’s economy is expected to grow five per cent, repeating its performance last year. “Despite some setbacks, Saskatchewan’s economy is expected to perform well in the near term, with real GDP forecast to expand 3.5 per cent this year —

more than twice the national average,” board’s fall metropolitan outlook said. Calgary is expected to grow by 3.3 per cent, Edmonton by 4.2 per cent and Vancouver by 2.2 per cent. That compared with growth of 4.3 per cent, 5.9 per cent and 2.6 per cent for the three cities respectively in 2012. “Despite some risks, Alberta’s economy will get a boost from the rebuilding effort after the floods and the infrastructure investment needed to accommodate increases in oil sands production,” the report said. Meanwhile, Vancouver’s economy is being affected by slower growth in manufacturing and construction. Overall the Conference Board said the Canadian economy is expected to grow by 1.7 per cent this year, however it suggested that the improving U.S.

economy would give a boost to 2014. “Through much of the first half of this year, economic indicators provided few encouraging signs. But recently, prospects seem to be changing for the better,” the Ottawa-based economics think-tank said. The five Western Canadian cities stand in contrast with the other eight areas studied, which are expected to growth by less than two per cent this year. In Toronto, which is expected to be hampered by weaker manufacturing and services sectors, growth will be limited to 1.6 per cent in 2013. Halifax is forecast to post growth of 1.7 per cent, while Winnipeg is expected to grow by 1.4 per cent. Montreal, Quebec City and Hamilton are each expected to grow about 1.3 per cent this year. Ottawa-Gatineau is expected to expand by 0.8 per cent in 2013 due to spending cuts by the federal government. Victoria is expected to grow by 0.1 per cent.
SUCCESS 4 BUSINESS EXPO
MAGAZINES NAMES NORTH RED DEER IN ITS TOP 100 NEIGHBOURHOODS FOR 2013 BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR A national real estate magazine that compiles an annual list of the best neighbourhoods in Canada has given North Red Deer a thumbs-up. Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine has included the area in its Top 100 Neighbourhoods for 2013. The publication said that North Red Deer provides good opportunities for investors, thanks to relatively low home prices and rock-bottom vacancy rates that combine to give landlords an attractive rate of return. The magazine also commented on the current strength of industries in the Red Deer area, and the city’s role as a central distribution centre for much of Alberta. “From agriculture to petrochemical industries, the region continually attracts a high rate of migrant workers keen to capitalize on higher wages and lower tax rates,” said an article in the November edition of Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine. “This year alone, home-start construction is up 32 per cent as more temporary workers settle into the area.” The youthful age of city residents and Air Canada’s recent introduction of scheduled passenger service out of the Red Deer Airport were also cited as positives. The magazine said the average house price of homes in North Red Deer was $314,860. With rents averaging $1,500, investors can expect an annual cash flow of about $5,472, it added. Price growth was projected at 4.13 per cent. Ken Devoe, president of the Central Alberta Realtors Association, agreed that North Red Deer appeals to many renters. Some want to live close to Hwy 2 and Hwy 11, and with commercial and industrial development in the area and along Hwy 2, there are plenty of workers looking for nearby accommodation. “If you work in one of the industrial areas you’re looking at a five-minute commute, as opposed to a 15to 20-minute commute if you live in the south end,” said Devoe. “As an investment property, it’s going to be good for rental.” Housing prices in North Red Deer subdivisions like Kentwood and Johnstone Park are lower than in neighbourhoods in the south side of the city, he added. That gives landlords there a higher return on investment. “Prices definitely are cheaper on the north end.”

Clubroot still gaining a foothold in Central Alberta fields BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR New clubroot infestations continue to spring up in Central Alberta canola fields, although producers are becoming increasingly aware of practices to control the disease. “I’ve just finished the eastern portion of the county yesterday and have three new fields,” said Shayne Steffen, manager of agriculture services with Ponoka County. That brings to 19 the number of fields in that county that have tested positive over the past several years. “Anywhere from three to five is what we’ve been experiencing every year.” Red Deer County staff have finished their 2013 clubroot survey, with more than 500 fields checked. Four new cases were discovered, bringing the total to seven since the first infected field was found in the county last year. “They’re spread out all over the county,” said Red Deer County ag services manager Art Preachuk, add-
ing that one field was badly infested, while the other cases were mild. At Lacombe County, ag fieldman Dion Burlock said inspectors there were about half way through this year’s clubroot survey, with about 50 fields done. “We’ve collected some samples that appear to be clubroot,” he said, adding that they’ve been sent to labs for confirmation. If the tests come back positive, they would be in addition to the three cases of clubroot found previously in Lacombe County. The best results so far this year have come from the County of Stettler, which had its first three positive tests in 2012. As of this week, said Quinton Beaumont, the county’s ag fieldman, no new cases had been discovered. However, only 34 fields out of an anticipated total of 180 to 190 had been checked. Dan Orchard, an agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada’s Central Alberta branch, said clubroot infestations have probably grown worse because of wet conditions this year.

these simple, but costly mistakes. Make a good first impression ● Be punctual: arrive 10 minutes early (factor in time for travel and to find parking). ● Dress appropriately: wear clean clothes and nice shoes. ● Come prepared: bring a pen, paper, and copies of your resumé and references. ● Don’t wear perfume or cologne. ● Don’t check your cellphone during the meeting, chew gum or bring your own drink. Relax A job interview is a meeting between two equally important parties to share information. The employer wants to know if you can do the job and will fit into their team. You want to know more about the position and company to see if you actually want the job. Arrive early enough to use the washroom, calm your nerves and remind yourself that you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. And remember, many interviewers are new to the interview process and may be just as nervous as you are. Be ready to smile or laugh — they need to like your personality too. Engage the interviewers

● Smile, greet the panel, shake hands with each interviewer and learn their name. ● Use their names during the interview. ● Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor and lean in slightly to show interest. ● Make eye contact and listen closely to the questions so you can answer them accurately. ● When you finish the interview, shake hands and thank each person by name. Answer with confidence ● Take a few seconds to collect your thoughts before you answer a question. ● Come prepared with examples of when you have successfully used your key skills. ● Bring proof of your skills: numbers, examples, photos, samples, etc. ● Be ready with an example of a shortcoming that you have improved upon. ● Be positive — show your excitement and enthusiasm for the position and your work. ● Don’t talk negatively about past employers, supervisors or coworkers. ● Don’t talk to too much, use short answers and don’t interrupt the interviewer.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed flat on Friday, capping a session where traders opted for caution going into the weekend amid the possibility of a U.S. government shutdown early next week. The S&P/TSX composite index inched up 2.46 points to 12,844.08 as BlackBerry turned in a huge quarterly loss and dismal sales figures. BlackBerry lost US$965 million in the second quarter as revenue plunged 49 per cent from the previous quarter and
45 per cent from a year earlier to US$1.6 billion, amid very poor sales of its new smartphones. However, the results were in line with company estimates issued last week when BlackBerry announced 4,500 jobs would be cut from its global workforce. BlackBerry shares (TSX:BB) (Nasdaq:BBRY) gained six cents to $8.28 on the Toronto Stock Exchange while in the U.S., BlackBerry shares added eight cents to US$8.03 on the Nasdaq market.

TOP 100: Sunnybrook included last year Young families are also attracted to the area because of its price advantage, said Devoe. Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine said in a release that its list was compiled on the basis of population, median price, price growth, vacancy rate, capitalization rate, infrastructure, investment cash flow and local economic conditions. This is the second year that the magazine has published a Top 100 Neighbourhoods list. In 2012, Red Deer’s Sunnybrook subdivision was among the areas chosen for their investment appeal. Among the factors cited for Sunnybrook’s inclusion was the price of homes and low vacancy rate there, as well as the availability of walking trails and green spaces, safe traffic flows, and the subdivision’s proximity to workplaces. Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine’s list of the Top 100 Neighbourhoods for 2013 can be found in its November issue, which is scheduled to hit newsstands on Monday. Details will also be presented Oct. 5 and 6 at the Canadian Real Estate Wealth Investor Forum in Vancouver. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

prices, up 0.1 of a cent at 97.06 cents US. There was skepticism that Congress can pass a funding bill to keep the U.S. government operating after Oct. 1, when its new fiscal year starts. Also, the U.S. borrowing limit needs to be raised before Oct. 17. But Republicans want to tie the moves to defunding the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, and slash spending. “They can’t afford to mess around on this,” said Wes Mills, chief investment officer at Scotia
“Obviously rotations are getting tightened because our canola acreage is certainly up,” said Burlock. “We haven’t made any more land, so obviously rotations are shortening up.” The use of clubroot-resistant canola is not without problems. “I don’t think there’s enough to go around for everyone,” said Preachuk. Perhaps of greater concern is the risk that resistant varieties could lose their effectiveness. “We’ve got to be very careful that we don’t overuse it and break that resistance down,” said Burlock. The most important weapon against clubroot might be awareness — which seems to be on the rise in Central Alberta. Beaumont pointed out that clubroot is on three sides of his county, which has prompted farmers there to exercise care. If farmers check their canola crops regularly and diligently, they can identify and address problems before they intensify and spread, said Preachuk. “Management is going to be the key,” agreed Burlock. The counties all are working to educate producers about clubroot. Red Deer County is holding an information meeting on Oct. 24 from 12:30 to 4 p.m. at Penhold Hall, with seed company officials and crop scientists to be on hand. Orchard expressed optimism that clubroot won’t get out of hand in Alberta. “With the research and the management techniques that have been developed, and the resistant varieties, I certainly don’t think it’s a huge threat to the canola industry at present.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com
Asset Management PM Advisor Services. “They’re digging in their heels because they’re tying the Obamacare passage to the debt ceiling. And ultimately, if they push too hard on that, it’s going to rattle markets big time.” Shortly before the close, President Barack Obama said the threat of a shutdown is probably already having a negative effect on the economy. U.S. indexes were negative as investors digested a report showing higher consumer spending and income growth in August — and other data showing slowing consumer confidence in the United States. The Dow Jones industrials dropped 70.06 points to 15,258.24, the Nasdaq was 5.83 points lower to 3,781.59 and the S&P 500 index was down 6.92 points to 1,691.75. The U.S. Commerce Department said consumer spending rose 0.3 per cent in August. That’s up from a 0.2 per cent gain in July. Income rose 0.4 per cent in August, the best gain since February and up from a 0.2 per cent July increase. The spending and income data is closely watched because consumer spending drives 70 per cent of U.S. economic activity. The final read of the September University of Michigan’s consumer confidence index came in at 77.5, down from 82.1 in August. The consumer staples sector was the biggest gainer, up 0.7 per cent with drug store chain Jean Coutu (TSX:PJC.A) ahead 32 cents to $18.29. The energy sector was up slightly with the November crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange down 16 cents to US$102.87 a barrel. The gold sector also edged
higher as nervousness about the U.S. budget fight sent December bullion up $15.10 to US$1,339.20 an ounce. The base metals sector was the biggest decliner, down 1.6 per cent despite December copper on the Nymex rising two cents to US$3.33 a pound. Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) declined $1.19 to C$28.10. In other corporate news, J.C. Penney, the struggling retailer that is trying to reassure the market about its financial stability, expects to raise about US$810.6 million via a public stock offering. J.C. Penney plans to offer 84 million shares priced at US$9.65 per share. That is a 7.3 per cent discount to Thursday’s closing price of $10.42 per share. Its stock dropped 13.15 per cent to US$9.05 in New York on Friday. The TSX ended the week up a slight 0.29 per cent, held back by losses particularly in gold stocks. Worries about a government shutdown pushed the Dow industrials down 1.25 per cent for the week. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS TORONTO — Highlights at the close of Friday at world financial market trading.

CRTC to review roaming rates BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Roaming rates paid by cellphone users when they’re travelling in Canada and the U.S. will get more scrutiny by the CRTC, which is considering possible regulations as a result of consumer complaints. More than 35 telecom companies had to submit information on their roaming rates to the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission by Friday. The CRTC had set the deadline after hearing consumers’ concerns that the cost of roaming on another carrier’s network could be “unreasonable.” “A decision on whether there is a need to intervene will be made once the CRTC has reviewed the information it has asked the wireless companies to provide,” the CRTC’s Chris Seidl said in an emailed statement. The additional information will also help it determine the choices available to consumers and the competitiveness of Canada’s wireless industry,
said Seidl, executive director of telecommunications at the CRTC. Telecom analyst Eamon Hoey said he expects the CRTC to regulate roaming rates, adding it’s the beginning of more regulation for the industry. “Consumers are more than just a bit annoyed at the rates that they’re paying not only for basic cellular service, but for roaming, for additional charges, for contracts, you name it,” said Hoey, of Hoey Associates Management Consultants Inc. in Toronto. Hoey also said Bell (TSX:BCE), Telus (TSX:T) and Rogers (TSX:RCI.B) didn’t do themselves any favours with consumers or the federal government with their publicity blitz against big U.S. carrier Verizon, which had expressed some interest in Canada’s wireless market but decided against coming north earlier this month. Rates aren’t low enough, he said, adding that Canada’s wireless carriers “pay in pennies per minute” to foreign carriers such as Verizon, AT&T and U.K.-based Vodafone for their roaming agreements.

“Temperature and moisture are two things that really get this pathogen going.” He suspects that spores were already in many of the Alberta fields where clubroot has only recently been detected, but the favourable conditions pushed them to a more noticeable level. “We’re finding a lot of fields where the infection level is so high that there’s no way it just came in in the last year or two,” said Orchard, who’s primary area of coverage is north of Wetaskiwin, where clubroot has been more prevalent. He said the key to combatting clubroot is proper management practices. These include cleaning mud from machinery as it moves from field to field, planting canola on a long rotation and using clubroot-resistant seed in infected or high-risk areas. Unfortunately, not all farmers adhere to these practices. When seeding is late, for example, returns many are reluctant to up to spend time doing a thorough cleaning of equipment.

FROM THE WRECK DOWNSTAIRS Be honest. Is your basement in dire need of emergency assistance? If the answer is yes, then now is the time to turn on the lights and siren. Come on, don’t we all dream of crafting an indulgent secondary living zone where family and friends can relax? Guess it’s fair to suggest that, ahead of decorative ascent, you need to master the art of looking down. Deep down. All hail the great Canadian basement: A whole extra floor of opportunity, yet one that can go two ways. Option 1 is the wreck room — typically neglected, the sad solum is often little more than a furniture fall-out zone. Option 2 is the rec room. Sadly, we see fewer of these comfortable, well-planned spaces. And boy, is that galling. Every inch of your biggest asset, as we see it, should be lovingly commandeered to promote optimal lifestyle. You bought the entire flippin’ house so why overlook one of its important levels?
Low ceilings
suddenly, your winter warming purple scheme has become ... cream with spring-green accents. Point made? Stripes? Just as horizontal banding can help elongate a short wall, so too can stripes help lift perceived ceiling height. It’s basic trick-of-theeye stuff, but a no-brainer nevertheless. Opt for wallpaper or, if you’re brave, try masking tape and paint. For extra dimension, stripe with satin latex on top of matte; the distinction will be almost imperceptible but the barely there detail is enough to add interest.
The most difficult (yet certainly the most successful) way to counter limited head height is to dig into the solum. But be warned: a route such as this will require professional assistance and, potentially, a planning permit. Excavation will be expensive and may undermine your home’s structural integrity. For starters you’ll need to underpin as well as tussle with foundations. And you may need to reposition light sources. Then there’ll be tanking, to protect against water ingress.

record, was enhanced using engineered wood (this has a membrane of real wood atop hard board), a medium which is considered more stable in basement application. Carpet is potentially serviceable as it’s warm underfoot in colder areas. We recommend berber with a manmade content (50 per cent acrylic/50 per cent natural is ideal) as it’s more resilient to moisture and mould. All things considered, our preferred option is tile. Whether slate, ceramic or stone, tile provides a hard-wearing finish that less frequently succumbs to damp problems. Before laying, damp proofing can be installed and a protective clear coating (with a mould inhibitor) can be applied thereafter.
Window treatments One of the biggest basement conundrums is making the best of problem windows, many of which are positioned nearer the ceiling (to clear ground level) than they would be in standard rooms. We’ve seen loads of halfbaked solutions to the problem, but here’s our favourite tried-and-tested method: Extend the lines of your existing window using scribed timber astragals to ‘fake-out,’ or extend, regular window glazing. Follow the shape of
any crossbars then fill these sections with mirror to allude to the genuine glazing above. This done, hang a blind, as we did as part of today’s correction. Alternatively, opt for fulllength drapery to confuse the eye into reading taller wall height than actually exists.
Sofas and seating We find it best to keep furniture low slung to distract from vertical challenge. Opt for long, lean sofas with a comfy, squashy feel and seek out models with shorter legs to ‘pull’ the eye down further. By their very nature, family rooms are all about chilling and relaxing, so avoid high back, stand-to-attention upholstery such as Queen Anne style or wing-backed chesterfields. Consider positioning a sectional L-shaped sofa against one wall (www.eq3.com have ‘intelligent’ furniture inventory) and finishing with a lowslung, dual-purpose table. ‘Double bubble’ furniture is great news in zones where clutter tends to occur: concealed drawers and ottomans with lids that lift are perfect solutions. We recently visited www.urbanbarn.ca and discovered a wonderful choice of low-slung case goods that will help you manage proportions in shallower rooms.
It’s amazing how tastes change — bean bags are a perfect observation of this. Whilst previously loathe to use them, werecently had a rethink and positioned not one but three massive bags in a client’s rec room. Our homeowners, a young dentist and her husband, were somewhat stunned when we suggested the retro spec ... but eventually were so impressed they agreed to more of the squashy sacks in another room upstairs. Every placement, we suppose, is contextual and being prepared to forgo apprehensions and try new (or is that old?) ideas is stimulating and rewarding. And, finally — your room is ready. Followed to the C&J letter, your completed rec room should be relaxed, informal and a joy to inhabit — a flexible space that acts as games zone, R&R annex, cocktail bar and general chill-out destination. Well-designed, comfortable and ready to party. All you have to do is get the family on board.

Fabric trends – bold, beautiful Dear Debbie: Our downstairs living room and the stairwell to upstairs are wallpapered. The paper is affixed very smoothly to wallboard and is still in good shape 25 years later. We want to change to a painted finish but cannot afford to have all the walls stripped. Could we have someone come in and simply paint over the paper? Any other suggestions? — Diane Dear Diane: It is always better to strip the wallpaper and start
fresh, but if this is too difficult or costly, then you can paint over the paper. Remove any loose bits and sand the edges lightly. If the paper is thick, apply some spackle to even up the surface where paper has come off. Since waterbased paint and primer will soak through the paper and dissolve the glue, use a thin coat of oil-based primer over the paper. Now you can proceed with water-based paint. Apply one or two coats of paint sparingly so
the weight of the paint doesn’t pull the paper down. You will still see the join lines between the wallpaper strips, but that is OK. You may want to use these lines as a guide to creating a pattern.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013 D3
The story of two very dedicated people 35 YEARS AND A LOT OF GREAT WORK While some people consider their house nothing more than a source of shelter and protection, others see things differently. Ursula and Oskar Hettman have spent the last 35 years tastefully developing a hidden lakeside property on an island in rural Canada, and their unconventional story of self reliance has something to teach about life and work and ideas of home. It also has something to teach about letting go. Their house, the surrounding three cabins, outbuildings and gardens are all the product of the Hettmans’ steadfast pursuit of beauty. They’ve lived a settled life in this one place, enjoying natural surroundings without having to travel anywhere to STEVE find it. MAXWELL Their life is an expression of themselves, and their story is worth telling for at least two reasons. Besides being a unique example of skilled effort and vision, their lives are a stunning testimony of how two people have done something that many dream of, but few attempt. Ursula and Oskar first set foot on what would become their island home in the summer of 1971, visiting from their native Germany. In 1978 they bought their lakeside property, emigrated to Canada, and began an unconventional, creative adventure they’ve pursued ever since. Our country is blessed with some pretty big lakes, and the 700 feet of sand beach frontage along one side of their property looks like the ocean as you stand with your feet in the water looking south. Rare wildflowers grow naturally on this shore where deer, bald eagles and loons are common. The stone and log house they built is now flanked by three smaller cabins, all showing the kind of craftsmanship and attention to detail that so often seems to come from Europe. As you’d imagine, any couple that takes on a project like this must also be deeply creative. Ursula completed her training as a goldsmith before emigrating to Canada, and still uses her skills to create jewelry for sale from a studio on the property. Oskar is a man of wood, and is the go-to guy in his area for fine milled lumber. He’s mastered the skill of cutting timber at specific times of the year and phases of the moon to yield lumber and beams that don’t twist and warp as they dry. So what can we learn from these people? The courage to dream big has got to be the first thing. I’ve come to realize that the risks of the brave are always smaller than the losses of the timid. The Hettmans are one reason I believe this. Another thing the Hettmans teach me is the value of sustained effort. These days a homebuilding schedule that extends beyond one year is considered unacceptably long. Perhaps that’s why even multimillion-dollar homes often display the same kind of cookie-cutter atmosphere that ordinary houses do, just bigger. All good stories eventually come to an end, and the Hettman adventure is no different. Though their four children have always loved the property, all have taken other directions in life, with none willing to take over the dream. We often have the mistaken idea that we own our properties, but this isn’t the case for anything more than a short time. Even when we’ve built a place ourselves, poured time and money and creativity into it, the short span of human life means we’re only temporary stewards at best. “It was a big lesson for me to learn that you don’t own things,” offers Ursula. “You should not depend on things, but just be as you are and be able to let go.”

SUN SIGNS
SUNSCREEN RECALL THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Health Canada says two children’s sunscreens are being recalled due to contamination with a trio of bacteria that can cause serious infections. Badger Baby SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion and Badger Kids SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion are being recalled in Canada. Additional lots are being recalled in the U.S., which Canadian travellers may have purchased. Manufacturer W.S. Badger Company Inc. says the microbes found cause pneumonia, meningitis and infections of the blood, bone, urinary tract and gastrointestinal system. Those with weakened immune systems from such conditions as cystic fibrosis, cancer or diabetes, or with burns or other skin conditions, have a heightened risk of infection.
In healthy consumers, bacteria can enter the body through cuts and burns and may cause skin and blood infections, as well as eye and outer ear infections. Health Canada says parents who purchased affected lots of sunscreen should return the product to the point of purchase. The sunscreens were found to contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida parapsilosis and Acremonium fungi, but no adverse reactions from use of the products have been reported to Health Canada or the company. Badger Baby SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion and Badger Kids SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion were sold across Canada. Two importers have been identified: Purity Life Health Products in Acton, Ont., and Christmas Natural in Burnaby, B.C. The Canadian recall affects Badger Baby sun-
screen lots 3057A and 3132A and Badger Kids sunscreen lot 3164A. The U.S. recall also includes “Baby” sunscreen lots 3024A, 3063A, 3063B, 3132A and 3133A.

REES (WATSON) Isabel Jane Jan. 7, 1920 - Sept. 26, 2013 Isabel was the youngest child of Walter and Jane (Bush) Watson of Hayter, Alberta. She started school at Stainsleigh a year early, and graduated from Camrose Normal School early as well. She taught at several one room schoolhouses, the new Red Deer College, and Ponoka Composite High School. Isabel married her loving husband Elmer Rees August 31, 1943. Mom had billeted with Dad’s family for a year. After the war they farmed south of Eckville where they started their family and ended her one room schoolhouse career. Isabel is survived by: Jane Eileen Kato (Yoichi of Japan); Margaret Rees [Joanne {Simonne, Moira, and Derreck}, Christine of Nelson BC.]; Walter Rees (Kathy, of Williams Lake BC), [Laura <Shaun> {Evy}, Becky <Jordan> {2 great-grandsons}, Tim<Aya> {Walter, William, and Troy of Victoria} Scott] ; Mary Ann Steele (Ken) [Jason <Shona> {Kaitlyn}, Patricia <Nolin Maurier> {Sage}, Aaron, Jeff <Kristen> of Red Deer]; and Brenda Funk (Richard o f R e d Wa t e r ) [ H e a t h e r {Austin, Lilly-Bell, and Brianna Marie of Valemount}, David <Nicole> {Kestyn, Kadryn, and Kiriyn of Anzac) , John <Evan> of Fort McMurray.] Isabel is predeceased by her loving husband of 65 years, Elmer Rees, newborn grandchildren Jennifer Funk and Zachary Maurier, her brother Walter Watson and sister Jessie Clark. After her 5 children were in school, Isabel returned to Red Deer College to upgrade her teaching credentials, and wound up teaching adult upgrading for a few years, she taught at Ponoka Composite High School for most of the 1970’s. After retirement she taught immigrants English as a second language. Many of those students kept contact with her until recently. She also taught many people how to play Contract Bridge at the Red Deer Bridge club. She kept her gold master certificate framed on her wall. She had an almost photographic memory when it came to each hand played, often replaying each hand in her mind to put herself to sleep. Isabel had a great passion for bridge and travel, seeing many wonders of the world during her retirement. She maintained the greatest flower and vegetable gardens at all three of her adult homes. Isabel’s, family would like to thank: Elmer’s niece Mary Sanche, friends; Alice Williamson, and Rev Dale a n d A n n Wa t s o n f o r t h e many entertaining visits from each one.

In lieu of flowers Isabel’s family would be honored by donations to: Seniors Citizens Downtown House, CNIB were a great help to her, Sunnybrook United Church, and STARS.
LAIDLER In loving memory of Frances Elizabeth Laidler who passed away September 28, 1997. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. ~Ever loved, ever missed today, tomorrow and forever. Love Jerry

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Starting on Tuesday, an estimated 50 million Americans who don’t have health insurance can start signing up for coverage as the core of President Barack Obama’s overhaul takes hold. Subsidies will be available to help those with lower-incomes pay for insurance. And on Jan. 1, people will no longer be denied coverage because of previous illnesses. Yet Americans are hardly celebrating. Polls show most of them don’t like the program. Many object to requirements that all Americans have health insurance or face fines. Some employers, the main provider of health insurance in the U.S., are citing the program as they cut back on coverage — contrary to Obama’s promise that people could keep their coverage without worrying about anything changing. Republicans have waged an unrelenting battle to repeal the law, claiming the program will cost American jobs. They have had no success so far, with Democrats controlling the Senate and White House. But even without Republican actions, Obamacare, as the program is commonly known, is already off to a rocky start. Obama has had to delay a key part for one year: a mandate that large employers provide health-care coverage. On Thursday, the government announced delays for small businesses seeking to buy insurance online. “This law is a mess. It needs to go,” the Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell, said in a speech Thursday. “It’s way past time to start over.” In the run-up to Tuesday’s deadline, Obama has been trying to boost support for the plan. In a speech Thursday just outside Washington, he rejected Republican claims that it will further damage an economy that still hasn’t fully recovered from a lengthy recession. “The evidence is that it’s not going to hurt the economy,” he said. “Obamacare is going to help the economy. And it’s going to help families and business.” The success of the health-care overhaul, Obama’s major legislative achievement, could largely define his legacy. Obama won passage early in his presidency while Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress. States challenged its constitutionality but the U.S. Supreme Court narrowly upheld the core of the program. The United States has long been the only major developed nation without a national health-care system. Even with the Affordable Care Act, as the program is formally called, taking effect, it will not have a single, government-run health insurance covering all Americans. Instead, the program relies on health insurance marketplaces in every state to provide options for people who don’t have job-based coverage, who can’t afford an individual policy or have a health problem that would disqualify them under the current system. The federal government will run the markets in the primarily Republican-controlled states which have refused to do so. The coverage won’t be free, even after sliding-scale sub-
sidies keyed to income. But Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program for the poor, will be expanded in states that wish to participate. The combination of subsidized private insurance through the new markets, plus expanded Medicaid, could reduce the number of uninsured by half or more in several years, government budget agencies say. Under the current system, most Americans have health insurance as a benefit of employment, with the employer and the employee sharing costs. The federal government covers the elderly and many of the poor are covered by Medicaid. Some people who don’t have health insurance through work buy individual coverage — often policies that just kick in in the case of medical catastrophes. Young people often forgo the expense of insurance, relying on their generally good health. Those without health insurance, especially the poor, often seek treatment at hospital emergency rooms, which are banned by law from denying care to patients who cannot pay. The reliance on hospital emergency rooms by those who are sick but uninsured helps drive up medical costs, which are higher in the United States than in other developed countries. Hospitals increase their charges to recoup the expense of treating the uninsured, passing on the cost to those with insurance. Also, insurance companies can refuse to insure people who have medical problems and can set payment limits for those who have insurance but exceed a set amount in claims, which is particularly difficult for those who develop a severe and expensive medical problem. The Affordable Care Act forbids insurance companies from those practices. The law is going into effect in stages and has already forced insurers to allow children to stay on their parents’ policies through age 26. It has also set a limit on the percentage of insurance company income than can go to profit. That has seen some companies issue refunds to their policy holders. More changes will take effect in the coming years, such as a new tax on large employers who offer workers generous plans for which the higher premiums are tax deductible. Consumers have until Dec. 15 to sign up for coverage starting Jan. 1. The grace period runs through Mar. 31 to avoid penalties for 2014. Fines start as low as $95 the first year but escalate thereafter. Much of the opposition to Obamacare stems from that requirement to buy insurance. Many Americans view this as too intrusive. Republicans, particularly those allied with the small-government tea party movement, have made repealing the program their core issue. Republicans also say that the plan will kill full-time jobs. They point to smaller employers who are moving workers to part-time status or shedding them to stay below the 50-employee minimum that would force them to comply with providing health insurance benefits. Larger organizations, such as fast-food chains, also are cutting hours to keep employees at less than full-time status which would guarantee minimum health coverage.

Two in custody after highspeed chase down Hwy 2
Action Bus collides with downtown four-plex
A police chase that began in Calgary and ended with a tireless stolen vehicle abandoned near Red Deer has resulted in two 28-year-olds being taken into RCMP custody. The chase started at 1:15 p.m. Friday, when Airdrie RCMP were advised that a stolen vehicle was leaving Calgary, heading north on Hwy 2. The vehicle was believed to have been involved in “numerous criminal offences” in Calgary, and RCMP deployed ground, air, and canine units to follow the vehicle. RCMP laid a spike belt in the Olds area, but the loss of both front tires did not stop the suspects from continuing northbound in the vehicle. Eventually, the vehicle was left with only its front rims, and, at 2:15 p.m., the vehicle became inoperable just south of Red Deer. At that point, the female driver and male passenger exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. According to a release, an RCMP police dog was
No one was injured when a City of Red Deer Action Bus slammed into a downtown four-plex late Friday morning. Red Deer Emergency Services said the collision happened shortly before 11:15 a.m. at the building at 48th Avenue and 45th Street. Residents in the building were evacuated for a short time as a precaution while city building inspectors determined the structure was safe. Red Cross is helping relocate one family. A Red Deer Transit spokesman said the driver was alone in the bus. The city was still awaiting a report on the cause of the collision. Red Deer Emergency Services said there was a collision with another vehicle prior to the impact with the building, but more details were not available. The force of the crash jarred bricks loose and smashed a window in a basement suite. Marbelys Solano said she and her

An Action Bus collided with an apartment at about 10:30 a.m. at 45th Street and 48th Avenue. There were no reports of injuries, and the family living in the damaged apartment were not home at the time. husband and their one-year-old daughter had left their suite just before the mishap. They found out about it a short while later when a friend phoned them on their cellphone. Their five-year-old son was in school at the time. “We were lucky because we left just
a minute before the accident,” said Solano, as she gathered belongings. The couple were going to spend the night in a hotel and were waiting to meet their landlord to find out how soon they could return.

OTTAWA — The Conservative government has responded to an international report on “unequivocal” global warming by slamming past Liberal inaction and renewing its warning of an alleged NDP carbon tax. The latest report Friday from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirms the planet is heating up and that it’s “extremely likely” human activities are the cause. “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia,” said the scientific report released in Stockholm. “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased.” The report says the effects are especially apparent in the Northern Hemisphere, affecting everything from sea ice and snow fall to permafrost. “Multiple lines of evidence support very substantial Arctic warming since the mid-20th century,” says the document. While environmental groups and some governments around the world used the report as a clarion call for action, Conservative Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq issued a statement saying her gov-
ernment is already “playing a leadership role in addressing climate change.” “Unlike the previous Liberal government, under whose watch greenhouse gas emissions rose by almost 30 per cent, or the NDP, who want a $21-billion carbon tax, our government is actually reducing greenhouse gases and standing up for Canadian jobs,” Aglukkaq said in the release. Canada, however, is on pace to achieve only half of its 2020 promise to reduce greenhouse gases by 17 per cent below 2005 levels, according to Environment Canada. And of the reductions made, 75 per cent were attributed to provincial actions in a 2012 report by the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy — a group the Conservative government has since closed down. The State Department in Washington, meanwhile, reported Thursday that the United States is on track to meet its 2020 target. John Kerry, the U.S. secretary of state, called Friday’s IPCC report “another wake-up call.” “Once again, the science grows clearer, the case grows more compelling, and the costs of inaction grow beyond anything that anyone with conscience or common sense should be willing to even contemplate,” Kerry said in a statement. The contrast in tone on the climate file between Ottawa and Washington was reinforced Thursday when Prime Minister Stephen Harper told a forum
in New York that “you don’t take ’No’ for an answer” on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. The TransCanada project to export Alberta bitumen to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast, which still needs President Barack Obama’s approval, has become a potent symbol for American environmentalists. Aglukkaq’s sharp-elbowed partisan response to the IPCC report left environmental critics fuming. “We have an opportunity to rise to the challenge of protecting our kids’ future, so let’s not blow it to score political points and prop up oil company profits,” said Keith Stewart of Greenpeace Canada. New Democrats said the minister’s comments embarrass Canada. “This report should be a call to action for one of the greatest environmental challenges of our generation,” said NDP environment critic Megan Leslie, “not the basis for Conservative attacks on non-existent NDP policies.” John McKay, the Liberal environment critic, labelled Aglukkaq’s release “really stupid.” “As long as you’re not serious about pricing carbon, you’re not serious about climate change,” said McKay, something he said a number of provincial governments have already recognized. The IPCC report, the fifth by the UN-sanctioned intergovernmental panel, is designed to provide governments with solid scientific evidence to support policy making.

Search for answers after student, 6, killed by school bus near Edmonton ST. ALBERT — RCMP and school officials in Alberta are investigating after a school bus hit and killed a six-year-old boy as he was walking to class. Several students were on the bus when it hit the child early Friday in St. Albert, a bedroom community north of Edmonton. The boy had been walking with other children to Ecole Marie Poburan, a French immersion Catholic elementary school, said Const. M.J. Burroughs. The boy was crossing a road across from the school and the bus was turning right, she said. The road has a crosswalk but no lights. There is a pedestrian crossing with lights at the next corner. It wasn’t immediately known if school crossing guards had been posted there, said David Keohane, superintendent of Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools. The name of the boy wasn’t released. Cindy de Bruijn said her son is in the same Grade 2 class as the dead boy and she often talked with his mother and other parents about the “ridiculously busy” intersection. Speeders aren’t the problem, she said. It’s mostly drivers making turns. “They’re nipping at your heels or trying to beat you through the intersection,” she told reporters outside the school. “My daughter in Grade 8 comes home once a week and says, ’Oh, I had my tail nipped
off today,’ by cars skimming right by her because they’re desperate to get through.”
CRA investigating why Mafia boss got $381,000 tax refund OTTAWA — The Canada Revenue Agency has launched an internal probe to determine how a late Mafia don who owed $1.5 million in back taxes received a refund cheque for more than $381,000. Investigators from the agency’s security and internal affairs division are to report back by the end of the year, and their findings will be made public, commissioner Andrew Treusch said Friday in a statement. The agency will immediately call in the police if the investigation uncovers possible criminal behaviour, he added. “This week, questions have been raised in the media about a cheque issued in 2007 to Mr. Nicolo Rizzuto,” Treusch said. “I have made initial inquiries into this transaction, and, to date, have been advised of no criminal wrongdoing.”
A&W say burgers come from cattle raised without growth hormones CALGARY — Call it a beef burger backlash. A&W Canada has announced that all of the burgers it serves at its 790 outlets across the country will now be made with beef raised without any growth hormones or steroids. The restaurant chain says it is proud to be the first national chain to serve what it calls “better beef.” A&W says Canadian consumers have a growing
interest in where their beef comes from and how it is raised. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association says its members have used what it calls safe “growth promotants” for more than 40 years that are approved by Health Canada. The association, which represents 68,500 cattle producers, says consumers who buy Canadian beef are buying the finest beef available.
Canada decries war rape and child brides at UN, mum on abortion stance OTTAWA — The Conservative government backed a British-led declaration at the United Nations this week condemning war rape, but whether that extends to helping victims obtain abortions remains unclear. Similarly, a Canadian focus at the UN on early and forced marriage made no mention of whether the effort would include helping child brides have access to reproductive health services. “These girls are children; they quite simply are not ready to be parents,” Baird said in a speech before a UN panel on Wednesday. The declaration on war rape was a follow-up to a Security Council resolution adopted in June that referred to providing “non-discriminatory and comprehensive health services, including sexual and reproductive health” for rape survivors. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is poised to go further in an upcoming report to the Security Council on women in conflict. The New York-based Global Justice Center quoted an advance copy as saying female victims of war should have “access to services for safe termination of pregnancies resulting from rape.”

Supreme Court stands by existing rules for police searches using sniffer dogs OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has given police officers the OK to search people’s belongings with sniffer dogs as long as they have “reasonable suspicion” they may find illegal drugs. In a pair of decisions released Friday, the high court upheld the current threshold police must meet to use the dogs to ferret out illegal drugs — a standard that some civil-liberties groups argue is already too low. The B.C. Civil Liberties Association, which was an intervener in the cases, has asked the Supreme Court to refer questions about the use of sniffer dogs to Parliament, which it declined to do. But Michael Feder, a lawyer representing the group, said while they were disappointed by the court’s decision, there were still positives that arose from the ruling. “The court has made abundantly clear that while police can use sniffer dogs to a so-called reasonable suspicion standard, reasonable suspicion means objective, verifiable facts about a particular individual giving rise to a reasonable possibility that that person possesses or is trafficking in drugs,” Feder said. “It does not mean a generalized suspicion about types of people or all types of people in one place. It doesn’t mean a hunch, it doesn’t mean police intuition. It means something much more than that.”
The two cases involve the use of sniffer dogs to search the checked baggage of an airline passenger in Nova Scotia and the car of a man pulled over for speeding in Saskatchewan.
MP Del Mastro wants election spending case to go to trial quickly OTTAWA — A lawyer for embattled MP Dean Del Mastro says his client is keen for his election spending case to go to trial as quickly as possible. Jeff Ayotte says the Ontario MP, formerly a member of the Conservative caucus, wants to clear his name of allegations he knowingly exceeded election spending limits. Del Mastro faces four charges under the Canada Elections Act linked to a $21,000 personal cheque he paid to an Ottawa political consultant before the 2008 campaign. His former official agent Richard McCarthy also faces three charges. Del Mastro resigned from the Tory caucus shortly after the charges were laid Thursday. Ayotte says while the Commissioner of Canada Elections case will be first heard Nov. 7 in Peterborough, Ont., a trial likely won’t take place until spring.
Canada leaves behind war, dashed dreams in Afghanistan, says author OTTAWA — It may yet serve as the epitaph to Canada’s nearly 12-year involvement in Afghanistan. In his long-awaited book about the Afghan war, Graeme Smith writes what others have long thought but rarely said out loud about the violently poor, landlocked south Asian country where some say em-
pires go to die. “We lost the war in southern Afghanistan and it broke my heart,” Smith — a former foreign correspondent with the Globe and Mail — writes in the opening sentence of his intense, unflinching memoir. Many, particularly those who run in military and political circles and whose reputations rest on history’s judgment of that nasty, never-ending guerilla war, would disagree. The army never lost a battle, they say. And now, Afghanistan — and Kandahar in particular, which once burned at the centre of Canada’s national interest — have all but disappeared from the public conscience since the Canadian combat mission ended in 2011, Smith said in an interview. “Nobody likes to fail, especially if you’re trying to do something good,” said Smith, who now works in Kabul as an analyst for the International Crisis Group, a non-governmental agency that monitors the world’s hot spots. Asked what it was all for, Smith was philosophical: “I take Canadians at their word. We said it was for peace and security and democracy. And you could still argue about democracy in southern Afghanistan, but peace and stability we did not achieve.” Smith is currently on tour promoting the book, entitled The Dogs are Eating Them Now — a reference to one Canadian soldier’s frank assessment of the fate of Taliban bodies that were left on the battlefield in 2006 in hopes of drawing more enemy fighters out into the open. His assessment of what happened, along with what sort of war the Afghans will inherit next year when the lingering Canadian soldiers finally leave, is sobering. “We’re leaving behind a great big mess. That should inspire us to clean up the mess in some new and creative way and it’s not. It’s inspiring us to give up and walk away,” he said.
