Teen sentenced for threats TALKED ON FACEBOOK ABOUT OPENING FIRE AT HIGH SCHOOLS BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF A short course in anarchy was included in sentencing of a teenager who had threatened to open fire at two Red Deer high schools. The 16-year-old boy, whose name is withheld under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was arrested and charged on April 4 by Red Deer RCMP

following up on information from the Calgary Police Service. Officers there had learned that a youth had talked on Facebook social networking site about opening fire at the Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive and Hunting Hills High Schools in Red Deer. Sentencing submissions were heard on Thursday for the teen, who pleaded guilty before Judge David Plosz in Red Deer provincial court on June 13 to uttering threats, possession of a small amount of marijuana and breaching conditions of probation.

Crown prosecutor Jason Snider said the boy had been a student at Lindsay Thurber and was barred from attending the school over disciplinary issues late in 2012. RCMP following up on the Facebook threats found no firearms in his home, so there is some doubt about his ability to carry out his threat, said Snider.

FESTIVAL OF TREES

‘Holmes Approved Home’ marketed for fundraiser BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF The home being sold in support of the 2013 Red Deer Festival of Trees comes with the stamp of approval of one of Canada’s most famous handymen. Mike Holmes is known for being quite the stickler when it comes to home construction, a trait he has exhibited for more than a decade on television. The newly-built “Trade-itional Holiday Home” at 3 Veronica Close in Vanier Woods East is a “Holmes Approved Home” that the home improvement guru is standing behind and, on Thursday, stood in at the home’s unveiling. “I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again: you build your house from the outside-in and not the inside-out, you will have a better home. The look (here) is the inside-out, but we started this house from the outside-in,” said Holmes. The home, built by Avalon Central Alberta, is on the market for $990,000. Avalon will be donating all profits from the sale of the house back to the Festival of Trees campaign. This is the third time that a home is being sold in support of the festival campaign. Before that, the homes were auctioned off.

Bike lanes take centre stage at mayoral forum BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

CIVIC ELECTION

Candidates for Red Deer’s top elected position tackled a number of questions at the first of two planned mayoral forums on Thursday night. But it was the controversial bike lane pilot project that drew most reaction from the more than 100 residents packed into the downtown branch of the Red Deer Public Library. Third-term Coun. Cindy Jefferies explained the over-arching reasons and intentions for trying bike lanes were good. She told the crowd that communication and engagement with the public could have been better. Jefferies said if she had known how much the pilot had aggravated and concerned residents she would have done things differently. “Did we get it right? Absolutely not,” said Jefferies. “Our timing was poor. Why did we end up putting them on the road three days before school went in? I don’t know. Lesson learned.”

While Coun. Tara Veer made it clear she voted against it when the bike lane pilot map came to the city. She gave the reasons of too much change overnight, loss of parking and driving lanes in one vote of council without any general public consultation. “It ultimately polarized our community to be probike or anti-bike,” said Veer. “When I think if we had actually taken some time to look at the broader cycle infrastructure in the community and actually come up with a long-term plan and some phased implementation, we could have accomplished the right outcomes.” Dennis Trepanier said the money spent on the bike lane pilot could have paid for at least seven more police officers in the city. He said there should have been a cost benefit analysis for the bike lanes. On the issue of a living wage policy in Red Deer, Chad Mason questioned the need for another wage

when there is already a minimum wage in place. Mason said this is part of the provincial not the municipal government’s mandate. He said the city should not spend any time on this issue. “We elect people to make these decisions,” said Mason. “It’s their responsibility. Municipal government has enough to do. We have to look after roads. We have RCMP. The communities who have this obviously do not have enough to do. They are twiddling their thumbs and come up with a (living) wage.” Jefferies argued the communities that have a living wage use it as a lens as one way to look at their community and the affordability of living within their community. “I think that is a useful tool for us to understand and for us to share with businesses and employers in our community,” said Jefferies. “Minimum wage is one thing but what it really costs to live in a city might well be another. It’s important for us to understand and recognize there is a difference.”

BRIEFS

Telecom companies get approval to appeal part of the wireless code MONTREAL — Canada’s major telecom companies have been given the go-ahead by the Federal Court of Appeal to challenge part of the CRTC’s new wireless code of conduct that would affect three-year cellphone contracts retroactively. Rogers (TSX:RCI.B), Bell (TSX:BCE), Telus (TSX:T), SaskTel, Manitoba Telecom Services (TSX:MBT) and others say a new CRTC code mandating that contracts run no more than two years would prematurely apply to three-year contracts signed before the new code comes into effect on Dec. 2. As a result, the wireless companies plan to chal-

lenge the ruling in court. They were granted permission to do so recently, but the ruling only came to light Thursday. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has said its wireless code should apply to all contracts, no matter when they were entered into, by no later than June 3, 2015. But the telecom companies have said a number of three-year contracts won’t expire until after that deadline, potentially leaving them on the hook for part of the cost of customer smartphones, some of which can cost $700. “In effect, therefore, under the wireless code customers may terminate their wireless service contracts after two years without paying any cancellation fees,” the notice of appeal said.

Rehtaeh Parsons’ father says she wanted to go to media MONTREAL — The father of a Nova Scotia teen whose suicide brought the issue of Internet bullying to the forefront says she tried to convince him they

should go public on the matter. Glen Canning said the plan to go to the media was hatched by his daughter, Rehtaeh Parsons, in the months leading up to her death this past April. Canning told a news conference in Montreal on Thursday that both he and Parsons’ mother decided at the time that going public was not the right thing to do, even though the former photojournalist could have easily made it happen. With all his daughter was going through, Canning felt at the time she would have been overwhelmed by the media exposure. But now, he says he would go public under similar circumstances. “She wanted to do something like that but I felt at the time there was so much going on in her life, it would have been overwhelming,” Canning said. “Looking back, I wish I’d done that.” He said he would advise parents of kids who have been victimized by cyberbullying and are being ignored by authorities to go that route with the caveat that the child be aware of the cost of going to the press. Sometimes, that option might be inevitable, he noted.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

COURT: Judge expressed concern about boy However, Plosz expressed concern as he was passing sentence about some statements in the first of two pre-sentencing reports prepared by the boy’s probation officer. Plosz cited a section in which the boy said he supported anarchy and wanted to live in a world where he could do his own thing. He asked the boy if he wanted to live in a country ruled by warlords, where there are no laws and no one to protect him. People immigrate to Canada from places like Somalia and Afghanistan because, regardless of the cold weather, they want to live in a better world, said Plosz. He also discussed information from the pre-sentencing report indicating that the boy’s parents were using marijuana, stating that the home is the first place of learning for all children. The boy’s father replied that he had struggled with his own addictions and had been clean for the past two months. The boy said he has had a change of attitude during his time in remand and had taken part in addictions programs and counselling, as well as completing a portion of the community service hours ordered in his previous sentence. “I was going through a punk rock phase. Honestly, I’ve grown up since then,” he told the judge. After considering a joint sentencing recommendation by Snider and defence counsel Patrick Penny, Plosz sentenced the boy to 117 days in custody for the time he has already served in remand, to be followed by 58 days of mandatory supervision required under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He also ordered that the boy complete the existing probation period, which expires in September 2014, and added a probation period of 16 months, to be served concurrently. A second set of charges laid in connection with unrelated allegations was withdrawn at the Crown’s request. Snider said the boy was charged with offences including sexual assault, overcoming resistance and breaching probation. However, the complainant quit co-operating with police and it has become apparent that the alleged incident may not have occurred, he said. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

She said the new technology, in the form of a flat panel detector, will be the first of its kind in Alberta Health Services, and will reduce the radiation exposure for patients undergoing treatment. Tickets go on sale for festival events on Monday. This year’s schedule is much the same as it was in 2012, with events such as the Festival of Wines, Mistletoe Magic father-daughter evening, and Breakfast with Santa among the highlights. The first night of events will be on Nov. 16 with the Festival Lights the Night show and the Santa Claus Parade downtown. Then, from Nov. 20 to 25, there will be events every day and public viewing at Westerner Park from Friday to Sunday of 70 decorated trees. Festival co-chair Nova Bais said the 2013 edition is shaping up well with new donors and new sponsorships already on board. “We’re way ahead of where we were last year,” she said. More volunteers are sought for the festival. For more information or to volunteer, visit www.reddeerfestivaloftrees.ca or call 403-343-4773. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster online, can be charged by phone at 1-855-985-5000 or purchased in person at the Centrium during business hours Monday to Saturday. The two-storey home is nearly 4,000 square feet and includes four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Certain insulation and mould-resistant features allow it to receive the Holmes Approved Homes designation.

FORUM: Next one is on Oct. 8 Veer was asked specifically why she asked to sever any reference to a living wage from a recent notice of motion that asked council to support efforts of the Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance to make headway on poverty issues in the community. Veer explained she supported the main motion identifying the city’s role in working with the alliance in the community. Veer said she severed the living wage reference because she thinks there needs to be a plan for these issues in the community. Veer said she did not like this motion because it was jumping to one outcome without public consultation. William Horn said he sided with Jefferies to some extent but he said the costs associated with it come out everyone’s pockets. “I think that we can do something to help some of these people . . . It is definitely a problem here,” said Horn. “The costs associated with it come out of all our pockets. We have a social responsibility to improve everyone’s lives. And we have to do something with the minimum wage in Alberta. It’s definitely set too low. It’s a great opportunity here but there are problems we have to address right in our city.” The next mayoral candidates forum is hosted by Red Deer College at City Centre Stage on Oct. 8. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Smith, Mason bring debate tour to city BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF Two Alberta party leaders battled it out on the debate floor at Red Deer College Thursday evening. Wildrose party leader Danielle Smith and Brian Mason, head of the Alberta NDPs, made the stop as part of their province-wide debate tour to bring politics closer to Alberta students. Mason, with his entertaining and quick jabs at Smith’s platform points, conquered the debate, according to the 100 plus audience who gave him a resounding applause at the end. Three years ahead of the next provincial election, the party leaders began the debate series as a way to spark a deeper interest in politics among the younger generations and remind Albertans they can choose to end the Progressive Conservative dynasty in the province. “It’s to get people thinking about Alberta after the PCs are no longer the government. They’ll have been there for 45 years by the time this term is over. We want people to think about what the alternatives

are,” Mason said. “We’re also trying to get more younger people engaged. They have a lower voter turnout as is well known and the third reason we’re doing this is to show people in general that politics doesn’t have to be nasty. It can be meaningful and you can also have fun doing it.” Lively and good-natured, the debate featured a number of jokes and witty punches passed back and forth between the leaders, almost always accompanied by a smile. “Many people who were going to vote for other parties voted PC in the last election because they were afraid of the Wildrose,” Mason said during the debate. “They realized they were jumping out of frying pan and into fire and what we really need to do is reach over and turn off gas.” The crowd roared with laughter and applause. The face of the Wildrose had comebacks of her own, remarking to Mason that some people in Ontario “barely survived” the NDP government of Bob Rae. “He’s a Liberal now, Danielle. Come on,” Mason countered. Other topics included urban sprawl, pipelines,

Friend says Surrey gang shooting victim was involved in drug trade BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — A bright line slices through the popular narrative of the killings of six people in a 15th-floor condo near Vancouver six years ago. On one side are the two innocent bystanders — 22-year-old building resident Chris Mohan and 55-year-old gas fitter Ed Schellenberg — who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. And then there are the not-so-innocent ones: a group of four young men who the police and Crown say were linked to the drug trade, including a 21-year-old alleged trafficker named Corey Lal, who, prosecutors allege, was the intended target of the killing. Details about the four, including their ties to drugs, have trickled out during the first week of the trial of three alleged gangsters charged in their murders. Three of them have been described as friends, while the fourth was an older brother. The youngest was 19; the oldest, 26. Among them was Ryan Bartolomeo, a 19-yearold who lived with his mother in Surrey, frequently stayed home playing video games, and, according to a friend, was involved in selling drugs, the trial heard. Katie Bott, who described herself as a close friend who spoke with Bartolomeo almost every day, said she knew Bartolomeo made his money in the drug trade. Shortly after the murders, she told police Bartolomeo was a drug runner. “I had seen him with drugs and he put it in a duffel bag or a bag and he would drop it off,” Bott testified Thursday. “Sometimes I would be with him when he put the drugs in his bag and he would leave and I would stay where I was. ... I assumed he dropped it off,” she continued later.

Bott said she knew Bartolomeo for about seven years, first meeting in junior high, and they had stayed close ever since. She would see him four or five times a week, she said. Bartolomeo had drug-related legal problems about a year before he died, said Bott, though she didn’t elaborate. Bartolomeo smoked pot, she said, but he didn’t do hard drugs. Defence lawyer Simon Buck objected to Bott’s claims about Bartolomeo’s alleged involvement in the drug trade. Buck attempted to raise similar doubts earlier in the trial when Corey Lal’s sister and former girlfriend suggested he also had links to drugs. Instead, Buck appeared skeptical that Bott really knew anything about Bartolomeo’s ties to drugs, noting that when she gave a statement to police in October 2007, she repeatedly said Bartolomeo never handled drugs in front of her. On Thursday, Bott said she may have simply forgot about seeing Bartolomeo fill bags with drugs when she gave her police interview. She did tell police six years ago, however, that Bartolomeo was a drug runner, leaving for 12 hours at a time. The Crown’s theory is that four of the men who died, especially Lal, were indeed involved in the drug trade. The Crown contends the Red Scorpions gang targeted Lal because he was a drug rival, and then executed five others to eliminate potential witnesses. The victims were Lal, Bartolomeo, Lal’s 26-yearolder brother Michael, Edward Narong, 22, Mohan and Schellenberg. Matthew Johnston, Cory Haevischer and Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le are now on trial for various murder and conspiracy charges. A co-accused has already pleaded guilty and another, alleged gang leader Jamie Bacon, is scheduled for trial next year.

environmental protection form the oilsands, public services delivery and government revenue and expenses. Neither leader was opposed to the east-west pipeline plan. Mason noted the Alberta government needs to take more responsibility when it comes to meeting carbon emission targets, water monitoring and remediation of tailings ponds. Meanwhile Smith touched on the importance in “greening the grid” for electricity and switching to natural gas as a transition fuel. Both leaders also condemned the Redford government’s decision to close Red Deer’s Michener Centre, a live-in facility for those with physical and mental disabilities. “I think it’s cruel and wrong,” Mason said. “You can’t just take those who have complex needs and put them into a regular long-term care facility . . . The government needs to reverse its decision,” echoed Smith. The pair will hold three more debates and are headed to Keyano College in Fort McMurray next week. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

Police, SPCA investigate after six severed cat heads found BY THE CANADIAN PRESS STOUFFVILLE, Ont. — Cat owners in a community north of Toronto are being warned to keep their pets indoors after a number of severed cat heads were found, one of them near a daycare. York Regional Police said Thursday there have been six recent incidents in Whitchurch-Stouffville where heads and, in one case, other body parts of a dismembered cat were found in public locations. Investigators don’t know what the motive behind the dismemberments could be, said Const. Andy Pattenden. But he said it’s believed the dismemberments were done intentionally, adding the heads were all placed within a one-kilometre area in residential neighbourhoods. The first incident was reported Aug. 12 when a head and two legs were found near a daycare centre and police were called to the scene. Five other cat heads were found during the next few weeks, with one being found near a school, and the last incident was reported on Sept. 13, when a homeowner found her cat’s head in front of her residence. In five of the six incidents, just the cat’s head was found, usually on or near a curb, Pattenden said. No torsos were found. Animal welfare and town officials are helping police investigate the incidents. Police don’t believe the cats were killed by a predatory animal and they are concerned because the incidents seem to follow a pattern, said Pattenden. “In each of the incidents it appears at this time that it was intentional dismemberment, and by that we mean that there was no blood at the incident, it was just the head itself,” he said.

Iran coming in from cold? When Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, came home from the United Nations General Assembly meeting on Sept. 27, demonstrators at Tehran airport threw eggs, shoes and stones. They had heard about his 15-minute phone conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama, and they were not pleased. But there were many more Rouhani supporters at the airport, who clearly hoped that he will make a deal GWYNNE with the United DYER States on Iran’s nuclear program and end the sanctions that are strangling the Iranian economy. “I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution,” Rouhani’s office tweeted after the famous phone call to Obama, and most Iranians want to believe him. Most people elsewhere want to believe him, too. We have had 10 years of escalating threats by Israel and the U.S. to attack Iran if it doesn’t stop enriching uranium for its civil nuclear power program, on the grounds that this is merely a cover for a nuclear weapons program. And everybody understands that this could end up as a big, ugly war. That’s why Obama took the political

INSIGHT

risk of becoming the first U.S. president in 34 years to talk to an Iranian leader. When he addressed the General Assembly in New York, he welcomed the “more moderate course” taken by Rouhani, who took office in August. “The roadblocks may prove to be too great,” Obama said, “but I firmly believe the diplomatic path must be tested.” Then the chief roadblock arrived: Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. He was flying to New York to “tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and the blitz of smiles,” he said — and when he mounted the podium at the General Assembly, he bluntly accused the new Iranian president of being “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Nobody, not even the Israeli intelligence services, accuses Iran of working on nuclear weapons right now. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency flatly says that it is not. The accusation, by Israel, its Western supporters and some of Iran’s Arab neighbours, is that Tehran is building a (quite legal) uranium enrichment capability in order to be able to make actual nuclear weapons at some future time. Iran denies any such intention, of course. “We say explicitly that we will be transparent; we say explicitly that we will not build a bomb,” said Rouhani in New York. “No nation should possess nuclear weapons, since there are no right hands for these wrong weapons.” That last was a subtle slap at the hypocrisy of the United States and Israel, which have thousands and hundreds

of nuclear weapons respectively, for threatening to attack another country because it is allegedly planning to build them in the future. But Rouhani is not demanding that Israel give up its nuclear weapons and sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. On the contrary, he implicitly accepts the status quo. So why doesn’t Netanyahu welcome the possibility that Iran now seems willing to negotiate a deal that would leave it free to make its own enriched nuclear fuel for reactors, but stop it from making highly enriched uranium suitable for weapons? By all means insist that any U.S.-Iranian deal be enforceable and free of loopholes, but why say things like “Rouhani thinks he can have his yellowcake (enriched uranium) and eat it too”? The 10-year confrontation over Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons ambitions has served Netanyahu well. It has distracted the world’s attention from the plight of the Palestinians in the occupied territories. It has also given him enormous leverage in Washington: much U.S. policy in the Middle East is driven by the perceived need to keep Israel from launching a unilateral attack on Iran, which would be a catastrophe for American interests in the region. But if Netanyahu truly believes that Iranian nuclear weapons would be an existential threat to Israel, why would he oppose negotiations that might put an end to that possibility? Exactly what would be lost by giving peace a chance? What would be lost, if a lasting deal

emerged from the negotiations being mooted between Tehran and Washington, is the ability of successive rightwing Israeli governments to extort unconditional American military support for Israel, no matter what it does, precisely because it allegedly faces an existential threat from Iran. Since the Russian-sponsored deal over Syria’s chemical weapons has similarly sidelined the prospect of an American attack on Syria (which Israel sees as its second most dangerous enemy), the foreign policy that has sustained Netanyahu for almost two decades is collapsing. Without a plausible military threat to Israel — and where else could it come from, if not Iran or Syria? — his ability to bully successive American administrations into ignoring Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land, its clandestine nuclear and chemical weapons, and much else besides, would slowly drain away. So Netanyahu will do everything he can to strangle the newborn possibility of an American-Iranian rapprochement in its cradle. As the scenes at Tehran airport demonstrate, Rouhani also faces strong opposition at home from those whose political instincts or interests demand a continuation of the Iran-against-theworld confrontation that has already lasted for a generation. Rouhani’s initiative has created a great deal of hope, but its enemies are already working to kill it. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

An apology to Chris Stephan In a recent column of mine published on Sept. 10, 2013, titled Don’t ignore the poor, I made a false statement that I presented as words spoken by Red Deer City Coun. Chris Stephan. The statement I made was: “Being poor is the result of choices people make, said Stephan, and it’s not council’s job to be a cushion against the consequences of choices that people make in a free society.” I now acknowledge that the above words were not said by Coun.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Sad farewell to a quality retailer My shoes are worn at half-mast today — which is to say I am wearing them half tied! Not because it is the new trendy thing to do but rather to commemorate the loss of a grassroots running store in Red Deer: The Runner’s Den. For 16 years the store has been a staple to the Red Deer running community, providing superior customer service and expert advice to runners and triathletes. The owner of the store, Dwayne Loyer, has lent his years of running experience to the growth of the running community in Red Deer through his marathon training classes, weekly runs out of the Runner’s Den on Wednesdays and his personal training with the Red Deer Runners running club. His marathon training is timed to finish with a crescendo at the Woody’s Marathon, of which he has been a major sponsor since he took over the store in 2003. As a fitness facility owner in Red Deer myself, I know that sending clients to the Den would always result in the proper pair of shoes for them. I heard from several of my clients that they had never tried on “so many” shoes or have to use a treadmill while doing so. Not one has been unhappy with their shoes, even after logging several miles in training. With The Runner’s Den, it’s always been about educating the runner and getting the proper fitting shoes.

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director

For me, trips to The Runner’s Den have always been met with casual conversation about training and upcoming races. The conversation would undoubtedly lead to the latest accomplishments of the young, up-and-coming runners of Red Deer, of whom he employed several, and the seasoned runners who routinely finish 100-plus-km races. I usually leave with something new whether it’s a pair of shorts or knowledge that yet another runner is faster than me. As our society has grown to embrace online shopping, which I remorsefully admit to using, and shifting from customer-service-based business to highprofit/low-wages box stores, we neglect the foundations within the community. The shops that provide great service by taking the time to ensure a proper fit, a lesson about the shoes and why they are right for you may mean a little larger price tag in the long run (no pun intended) but the grassroots businesses like The Runner’s Den care about your running experience and growth, not their profit margin. Certainly they are in business to make money but not at the expense of your health or naivety. I admire The Den for explaining the truth about current fads and the possible implications of, say, a minimalist shoe versus a stability shoe that would be better fitted to a beginner. It hurts a business to turn away a sale of an expensive fad item to explain what a person needs for their current training goals. The Runner’s Den routinely does just that to help the individual person grow as a runner and ensure no injuries slow them down.

There is nothing worse than developing an injury such as plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinitis due to improper shoes. Visiting stores employing inexperienced and unknowledgeable staff whose sole directive is to make large commission by showing you the latest and greatest shoe (usually the pair with the highest marked up) hurts not only you the consumer but also the retailers, like The Runner’s Den, that put time and effort into knowing which shoes will help make you a better athlete. With the passing of The Runner’s Den there will now be five shops in Red Deer that sell running shoes and gear, so sure you can still buy shoes here. I do not mean this to slight what those stores bring as I know a couple of them that are not strictly running focused have some very knowledgeable staff. That said, the five stores together do not have the knowledge or experience of Dwayne or his staff; and they will not have the ties to the community that The Runner’s Den, and Dwayne himself, has. The big chains have surface interest in the community and put on races for self-promotion where, humbly, Dwayne accepted lifetime entry into the Woody’s Marathon and a lifetime membership to the Red Deer Runners Club for his support of those two organizations and being a staple of our running community. It’s a sad passing. Even with their laces pulled tight, it’s going to be really tough to fill the big shoes left by the Runner’s Den. Jay Klause Red Deer

Mulcair slams government for trying to silence oilsands critics

FOSSIL FIND

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair says a judge’s finding that Alberta’s Environment Department has been covertly working to silence oilsands critics reinforces widespread cynicism that the province’s approval process for projects is rigged. “It’s a very damning analysis of what’s been going on here,” Mulcair told reporters Thursday after meetings at the University of Alberta. “To have a judge come out so clearly and to say that there’s an absolute breach of the fundamental rules of natural justice in the process simply reinforces the perception of a lot of Canadians in general — and a lot of Albertans in particular — that the dice have been loaded.” On Tuesday, Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Richard Marceau said Environment Department bureaucrats contravened their own laws by enacting a shadow policy in 2009 to stop the Oil Sands Environmental Coalition from speaking to reviews of proposed oilsands operations. Marceau, in his ruling, pointed to a 2009 briefing note from the department’s northern region director to the top bureaucrat in the department at the time, deputy minister Jim Ellis. The note said that while the coalition had been given standing in previous oilsands hearings, that should stop. It said the coalition was no longer assisting the government on environmental initiatives and that one member of the coalition in particular, the Pembina Institute think-tank, was publishing “negative media on the oilsands.” The director, who is not named in Marceau’s judgment, suggested the coalition be rejected on the grounds it is not directly affected by the oilsands operations. Marceau found that in June 2012 the director indeed used those grounds to reject the coalition’s application for standing on a Southern Pacific Resource Corp. oilsands in situ drilling operation south of Fort MacKay. Two members of the coalition, Pembina and the Fort McMurray Environmental Association, appealed the decision, leading to Marceau’s decision. In his ruling, Marceau noted that nowhere in Alberta’s Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act does it say the government can exclude from reviews “those persons or groups who voice negative statements about proposed oilsands development.” The government has yet to decide if it will appeal. Simon Dyer of the Pembina Institute has said they don’t reject the oilsands operations outright, but want to see the industry developed in an environmentally responsible way. Mulcair said the issue demands immediate action. “The minister responsible should come back and tell people how it is that a process is put in place that simply doesn’t respect the basic principles of natural justice,” he said. “People have a right to know that the environment is being protected.” McQueen is in Europe this week trying to convince European Union leaders to not place a sanction on oilsands crude based on research showing it is more harmful to the environment than conventional oil. In a statement released Thursday afternoon, McQueen did not address Marceau’s ruling directly except to say “the NDP prefers to live in the past referring to documents from five years ago.” McQueen’s statement also did not address Marceau’s key finding that while the memo was drafted in 2009, it was being acted upon by environment bureaucrats as late as June 2012, on McQueen’s watch. “Mr. Mulcair and his provincial cousins have made a habit of putting politics ahead of facts when talking about Alberta and the oilsands. The NDP have gone out of their way to undermine the good work done,” the statement read. The provincial NDP has called for the resignation of Ellis, who is now the CEO of the Alberta Energy Regulator, which oversees the regulation of all energy projects in the province. Ellis was unavailable for an interview Thursday, but in a statement issued through the regulator said the issue begins and ends with the northern region director.

More Sask. schools on alert as RCMP look for loose sex offender BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KINDERSLEY, Sask. — Schools in several westcentral Saskatchewan communities locked their doors and kept children inside Thursday after a warning about a potentially violent high-risk sex offender. RCMP in Kindersley said there had been two unconfirmed sightings of a vehicle connected to Michael Sean Stanley. There were also reports that Stanley may have been seen on foot in the Kindersley area Thursday afternoon. Three schools in Kindersley along with schools in Coleville, Eston, Marengo, Eatonia and Plenty went into what police call “hold and secure” mode. “The students were locked in the building during the school day and no buses in that area ran. RCMP advised that parents had to come to the school to pick up their children at the end of the day,” said Sun West School Division spokeswoman Roxan Foursha. “They called for the hold and secure on all schools in that area (as) a precautionary measure because of possible sightings of a high-risk sex offender from Edmonton that had been in the news recently.” Foursha said RCMP have indicated the schools will be on alert for at least the next 24 hours unless Stanley is caught. Mounties also said there was a possible sighting of Stanley in

Rosetown, just east of Kindersley. There was initially word from the RCMP that an elementary school in Rosetown was also under “hold and secure” mode, but Foursha said that was not the case. Stanley has a long history of sex offences, including taking children from playgrounds. The Edmonton man’s electronic monitoring bracelet was found Tuesday on the roof of a business in Lloydminster — it had been cut off. Foursha said school buses did not run after school Thursday.

Parizeau calls for changes to values charter POLICY STEMS FROM A FEAR OF ISLAM: EX-PQ PREMIER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Jacques Parizeau, a leading figure in the Quebec sovereignty cause for decades and a hero of the movement’s grassroots, wants the Parti Quebecois values charter to be watered down. The former PQ premier, who organized the 1995 independence referendum that nearly took Quebec out of Confederation, offered his views in a column Thursday in Le Journal de Montreal. He suggests the ban on religious headwear be scaled back and applied only to people in positions of authority, like judges and police, which he says is what the province’s Bouchard-Taylor commission recommended a few years ago. That also happens to be closer to the position of the Coalition party, which holds the swing vote in the legislature. “I wouldn’t go any further for the moment,” Parizeau wrote in the column. The PQ government responded by saying that it welcomes Parizeau’s suggestions, as it does those of all citizens. A co-founder of the PQ in 1968, Parizeau repeatedly gained the admiration of the party’s more hawkish wing. Whenever he felt the PQ was straying too far from the independence goal, he fought back, as he did when he quit the Rene Levesque cabinet in 1984. And, unlike other PQ leaders who took a go-slow approach to independence, he pushed forward with a referendum strategy as soon as he was elected in 1994. The day after the referendum loss, which in a bitter concession speech he had blamed on “money and the ethnic vote,” he quit politics. In an interview Thursday on Montreal radio station 98.5 FM, Parizeau said those 1995 comments targeted specific groups — and not individuals. “The common front of the Italian, Greek and Jewish congresses was politically active in an extraordinary way in the No camp and had formidable success,” Parizeau told host Paul Arcand. “It was very efficient.” Parizeau also said in the radio interview that,

with the proposed charter, “a fire is starting in our society.” The former premier said newly arrived immigrants are starting to be scared. “All these people come from countries that are rife with conflict, crises and tension based on these religious matters. Here they had peace . . . And now all of a sudden we’re going in with our big boots.” Parizeau’s stand could be a test of how much influence he still wields within the PQ. In recent years he and other more ardent sovereigntists have drifted away toward the fringe party Option nationale. In the column, Parizeau said he believes this is the first time a Quebec government has attempted to legislate against religion. He said he believes the policy stems from a fear of Islam. “It’s understandable,” he said. “About the only contact most Quebecers have with the Islamic world is through images of violence, repeated ad infinitum: wars, riots, bombs, the World Trade Center attack and the one at the Boston marathon. There’s also the image of the subjugation of

women and the violence against them when they try to free themselves. The reaction is obvious: don’t bring that here! “It’s less the case in Montreal, where we interact more.” But Parizeau said Quebecers are not mean or vindictive people, pointing to a poll this week that suggested a strong majority opposed firing someone over their religious headwear. He made one other suggestion in his column: that the crucifix be removed from the central spot it holds in the Quebec legislature and moved to another place in the building. The column began with an overview of how Quebec public institutions were already made more secular in the 1960s, when he was a senior provincial public servant. Critics might pick at some aspects of Parizeau’s analysis. While he describes Montreal as unique in the province, polls have suggested there’s not much of a gap between francophones in Montreal and other parts of the province on the issue.

Ottawa won’t legalize assisted suicide: Ambrose TORONTO — Health Minister Rona Ambrose says she is willing to talk to her provincial and territorial counterparts about assisted suicide, but insists Ottawa has no plans to legalize it. Ambrose made the comments in Toronto where she is expected to meet with the other health ministers today. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said last week that Canadians need to have a conversation about the emotionally charged subject, whether the federal government wants to deal with the issue or not. The issue resurfaced recently after a prominent Toronto doctor made an impassioned, videotaped appeal to legalize assisted suicide just a few days before his death. Dr. Donald Low, who guided Toronto through the 2003 SARS crisis, asked that Canada allow people to die with dignity, eight days before he died from a brain tumour last month, at age 68. The Quebec government is already holding public hearings on proposed legislation which would outline the conditions necessary for someone to get medical assistance to die.

TORONTO — A defiant, diminutive 89-year-old woman pleaded not guilty Thursday to criminal charges arising out of her refusal to fill out the 2011 census, and said she would not pay any fine if convicted. Audrey Tobias told Ontario court she agreed with the aims of the census, but objected to the involvement of American arms behemoth, Lockheed Martin. “When I learned that the contract for the information technology was being given to a for-

eign company, I was shocked,” Tobias testified. “I am ashamed of my prime minister in Canada who ultimately made the decision. Because of that, I couldn’t fill it in.” Tobias, of Toronto, is charged with violating the Statistics Act. The defence is arguing that forcing her to complete the census would violate her freedoms of conscience and free expression. Tobias said she was unconcerned about the consequences of a conviction. “I’m not worried; we’ll take it as it comes,” she said during a break in the proceedings. “Of course, I would not pay

the fine — that would be an admission of guilt.” She also said she would not do any community service for the same reason. The Crown called one witness, Yves Beland, operations director at Statistics Canada, who outlined the importance of the census. “It is the only detailed and coherent source of information,” Beland said. In 2011, StatsCan received 13 million completed census forms, a 98 per cent response rate. Overall, it referred 54 people for prosecution for failure to comply with the requirement to complete the census.

Police confirm mother killed her children, then committed suicide BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Winnipeg police confirmed Thursday that Lisa Gibson, a pharmacist who reportedly suffered from postpartum depression, killed her young daughter and infant son before taking her own life. It was the first time that police officially ruled out another killer in the July deaths that shocked a quiet suburban area of the Manitoba capital. “This is in fact a homicide-suicide incident . . . and really, I can’t get into any further details than that,” Const. Jason Michalyshen said. Michalyshen acknowledged there

are many unanswered questions about what happened to two-year-old Anna and her infant brother Nicholas. Police have remained tight-lipped on the case. So far, they have only said that someone — they won’t say who — called police on the morning of the killings and asked them to check on the kids. Gibson disappeared at some point. Her body was found three days later in the Red River. Michalyshen confirmed the children’s deaths were “consistent” with drowning, but would not go any further. The head of city’s firefighters’ union had earlier said the kids were found unresponsive in the bathtub.

In the witness stand — her flaming ginger hair barely visible over the court reporter — Tobias explained she was a member of the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service during the Second World War. She became a committed peace activist after viewing movie footage of the war and the atomic bombing of Japan. “I recall the great pain of that,” she said, as a court full of supporters watched. Lockheed developed and supplied data-analyzing software to Statistics Canada for the 2006 census, and helped rework the program for the 2011 count.

Nadon formally named to Supreme Court OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper has formally appointed Marc Nadon to the Supreme Court of Canada. Nadon fills the vacancy left by the mandatory retirement of former justice Morris Fish in August. The new justice appeared before a parliamentary committee this week after his nomination by the prime minister. Nadon was a justice of the Federal Court of Appeal when he was nominated to the high court. Before that, he was a Federal Court judge, a judge of the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada and a judicial member of the Competition Tribunal. He is a recognized authority on maritime law. Harper said Nadon came highly recommended. “Mr. Justice Nadon’s remarkable knowledge of both common and civil law and his wealth of experience as a lawyer, a judge and an arbitrator make him highly qualified to join the illustrious ranks of the Supreme Court of Canada,” Harper said in a statement. “I have every confidence that he will serve with distinction and honour.”

TORONTO — Health Minister Rona Ambrose says she’s banning certain drugs from a federal special access program. They will include products containing heroin, unauthorized forms of cocaine and other restricted drugs, such as ecstasy and LSD. Ambrose says those drugs won’t be authorized for patients under new regulations that take effect immediately. She says the ban won’t affect clinical trials or university research. The special access program is designed to let patients in exceptional cases get medications normally not allowed in Canada. The Conservatives are using the heroin issue as a fundraising platform, saying the NDP and Liberals would make the program permanent if elected in 2015.

Debt ceiling battle looms amid shutdown government back to work. “Obviously tea party Republicans don’t really want a way out of this government shutdown. They like it the way it is,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Republicans who initially sought to defund the health care law in exchange for funding the rest of government have scaled back their demand, but say they need some sort of offer from Obama. A meeting between Obama and congressional leaders at the White House Wednesday evening offered no glimmer of progress. “All we’re asking for here is a discussion and fairness for the American people under Obamacare,” Boehner, R-Ohio, said after the meeting. The White House said Obama would be happy to talk about health care — but only after Congress

moves to reopen the government. If the shutdown dispute persists it could become entangled with the even more consequential battle over the debt limit. The Obama administration has said Congress must renew the government’s authority to borrow money by Oct. 17 or risk a first-ever federal default, which many economists say would dangerously jangle the world economy. Treasury’s report Thursday said defaulting on the nation’s debts could cause the nation’s credit markets to freeze, the value of the dollar to plummet and U.S. interest rates to skyrocket. For now, Republicans planned to continue pursuing their latest strategy toward the shutdown: muscling bills through the House that would restart some popular programs.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama laid the blame for the government’s partial shutdown at the feet of House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday, escalating a confrontation that is running the risk of a potentially damaging clash over the nation’s borrowing authority. The Treasury Department warned that a deadlock over raising the nation’s debt limit could touch off a new recession even worse than the last one that Americans are still recovering from. Worry about prospects for resolving the debt question within the next two weeks deepened as the shutdown standoff dragged on. The shutdown showdown grew more personal Thursday. Speaking at a construction company in Washington’s Maryland suburbs, Obama cast the House speaker as a captive of a small band of conservative Republicans who want to extract concessions in exchange for passing a short term spending bill that would restart the partially shuttered government. “The only thing preventing people from going back to work and basic research starting back up and farmers and small business owners getting their loans, the only thing that is preventing all that from happening right now, today, in the next five minutes is that Speaker John Boehner won’t even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesn’t want to anger the extremists in his party,” Obama said. Boehner answered by batting blame back toward Obama and his “my-way-or-the-highway approach.” Boehner said that if the president would negotiate to fix flaws in “Obamacare,” the shutdown could end. “The president’s insistence on steamrolling ahead with this flawed program is irresponsible,” said Boehner, ROhio. Majority Leader Eric Cantor said the House Before taxes.

Car chase near White House ends in gunfire BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — A woman driving a black Lexus tried to ram through a White House barricade Thursday, then led police on a chase that ended in gunfire outside the Capitol, witnesses and officials said. Tourists watched the shooting unfold on Constitution Avenue outside the Capitol as lawmakers inside debated how to end a government shutdown. Police quickly locked down the entire complex for about an hour, and both houses of Congress went into recess. The pursuit began when a car tried to ram a security barricade blocking the stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case by name and insisted on anonymity. Witnesses said at least 20 police cars chased the Lexus toward Capitol Hill, where the car crashed outside the Capitol.

Tourist Edmund Ofori-Attah said he walked toward the scene, curious about what was going on. “Then I heard the gunfire” and hit the ground, he said. Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer said a woman was driving the car and had a child with her. Ofori-Attah said the child appeared to be about 2 to 3 years old. Gainer said the child was taken to a hospital. Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine said the driver was in custody. He did not disclose her condition. A police officer was injured in the traffic accident but Gainer said the injuries were not life threatening. “We heard three, four, five pops,” said Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who was walking from the Capitol to an office building across the street. Police ordered Casey and nearby tourists to crouch behind a car for protection, then hustled everyone into the Capitol. “There were multiple shots fired and the air was

filled with gunpowder,” said Berin Szoka, whose office at a technology think-tank overlooks the shooting scene. The shooting comes two weeks after a mentally disturbed employee terrorized the Navy Yard with a shotgun, leaving 13 people dead including the gunman. Before the disruption, lawmakers had been trying to find common ground to end a government shutdown. The House had just finished approving legislation aimed at partly lifting the government shutdown by paying National Guard and Reserve members. People standing outside the Supreme Court across the street from Congress were hurried into the court building by authorities. The White House also was briefly locked down after the incident at Capitol Hill and the stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the compound was closed to pedestrians. Secret Service said the procedures were precautionary.

Forensic team needs dental records to ID crash victims BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DANDRIDGE, Tenn. — It could take a couple of days to identify some of the eight people killed in a fiery bus crash in Tennessee because some of the victims were so badly burned, the highway patrol said Thursday. Sgt. Bill Miller said said a forensic team expected to use dental records to identify some victims. A North Carolina church bus blew a tire while travelling home on Interstate 40 on Wednesday, veered across a highway median and crashed into a sport utility vehicle and tractor-trailer. Fourteen people were injured in the crash. It was still unclear Thursday morning who had been driving the bus, Miller said, but investigators planned to look into the driver and the vehicle’s safety records. One of the dead was identified as 73-year-old John Wright, said his brother Jerry Wright. Jerry Wright said his nephew called him Thursday morning to tell him his brother was dead; his brother’s wife was seriously hurt in the crash. He said his brother was sitting with his wife when the accident occurred; he had initially believed his brother may have been driving the bus but said Thursday he was a passenger along with his wife. His brother had been a member of the church for 50 years and had been a deacon, he added. “My brother was a good man. Everybody loved him,” Wright said.

Also Thursday, Daniel Morrison told The Associated Press that his parents, Randolph and Barbara Morrison, both 66, had been killed. “I’m still processing it,” said Daniel Morrison, one of the couple’s five children, shaking his head. He said both had looked forward to the church outing as a big annual trip, adding they had put a lot into their church. A tight-knit group of seniors at the church was on its annual road trip, following a tradition for members of the Young at Heart Ministry to attend the Fall Jubilee in Gatlinburg, Tenn., which features gospel singers and speakers. The event’s website described the gathering as “three days of singing, laughing and preaching” for “mature and senior believers.” But on the way back Wednesday to Statesville, N.C., the bus carrying the Front Street Baptist Church group blew a tire, veered across a highway median and crashed into a sport utility vehicle and tractor-trailer. Fourteen other people were hurt in the accident in northeastern Tennessee, including two who were in critical condition. Inside the Statesville church on Wednesday evening, people were crying and hugging each other. One woman whispered, “It’s going to be all right” while hugging another woman. Police cordoned off the church to prevent reporters from talking to those who attended. “There was a very long night for all of us,” Front Street Baptist associate pastor Rick Cruz said Thursday morning.

B U S I N E S S

The church has received a tremendous outpouring of love from the community, Cruz said. “We know God is in control and is able to heal,” he said. George Stadtfeld, a member of the church for eight years, said Wednesday he knew everyone on the bus. He said his wife, Elaine, had been on the trip but didn’t travel on the bus. He said she called him crying. “We’re all shaken,” he said. “As bad as it is, they’re all Christians and I know where they’re at. I’ll join them later.” The church’s Young at Heart Ministry reaches out to older members of the congregation. They go on road trips together and sing in the senior choir. “They were all friends,” he said. The wreck left the bus on its side next to the tractor-trailer, lying across two lanes of traffic and extending partially into the median. It was not yet known what caused the tire to blow out. The bus itself didn’t actually catch on fire, but there was some “heat exposure,” Jefferson County Emergency Management Director Brad Phillips said. Emergency responders were able to remove people rapidly to get them away from the flames and other Good Samaritans provided assistance. The SUV was about 50 yards away from the tractor-trailer. It was still upright, but the back half had been ripped off. The injured were taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville.

Refugees aggravating social tensions BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Along busy Hamra street in west Beirut, Syrians fleeing their countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civil war have opened up scores of shops that compete with older ones run by Lebanese already hurting because of a sharp drop in tourism. Many Lebanese businesses compensate by hiring Syrians who will work for very little salary, and Lebanese workers grumble that their bosses can now ignore their demands. The competition is aggravating social tensions arising from the massive influx of Syrian refugees across the border. A tiny country with a weak central government, Lebanon has been paralyzed by disputes and sectarian divisions from the raging war next door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Syrians are competing with them (Lebanese) head to head and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay taxes, they open illegally and they actually work at half the price of the Lebanese worker,â&#x20AC;? said Kamel Wazne, a Lebanese economist and a professor of finance at the American University of Beirut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a volcano waiting to explode.â&#x20AC;? Over the past two years, Lebanon has seen episodes of sectarian violence and kidnappings that reflect the dynamics of the Syrian conflict. It has also witnessed multiple bombings in recent months, the latest of which killed 47 and wounded more than 400 in its northern city of Tripoli in August. The violence has devastated the tourism sector, a mainstay of the Lebanese economy. This past summer, there has been almost none of the Gulf Arab tourists who normally pack restaurants and street cafes to enjoy Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned cuisine and smoke fragrant water pipes. Beaches have been largely empty. The country has been without a functioning government since March, and parliament is all but paralyzed because of political disputes. Lebanon is sharply split between supporters and opponents of the Syrian regime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a legacy of Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long political domination of its smaller neighbour. The presence of over a million Syrian refugees is adding to those tensions, partly because of the surge in demand for public services and partly because of the new competition for employment. Workers at Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state-owned electricity company have been on strike on and off for months over

Syrian construction workers set up the foundations of a building in Beirut, Lebanon, on Monday, Sept. 30, 2013. Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market is flooded with Syrian refugees in desperate need of work, their cheap labour force posing an additional problem to the Lebanese economy that has struggled with billions of losses from spillover effects of the Syrian conflict. overdue salaries. One worker said the company recently tried to hire Syrians in a power plant north of Beirut, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we stopped them and hopefully it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Syrian that they employ means a job lost for a Lebanese and his family,â&#x20AC;? the worker said while protesting at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters. He declined to give his name for fear of reprisals from management.

At a bustling construction site in downtown Beirut, a Lebanese foreman, Nicholas Nakazi, oversees a dozen Syrian workers building a commercial complex, one of the many rising up in the capital despite a downturn in Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real estate sector. He rejected the notion that the Syrians were robbing Lebanese of their jobs, pointing out that Syrian workers have always dominated the construction sector.

Flames doused in opener GIVE UP THREE-GOAL LEAD IN SHOOTOUT LOSS TO CAPITALS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Capitals 5 Flames 4 SO WASHINGTON — Washington Capitals coach Adam Oates wants his team to focus less on power plays and more on even-strength situations. “It’s tough to tell Ovi about that,” Oates said. For one night, Oates will give Alex Ovechkin a reprieve. Ovechkin scored two goals, including one on a power play and assisted on Nicklas Backstrom’s game-tying power-player goal at 14:10 of the third. He also scored in a shootout, and the Washington Capitals rallied from an early three-goal deficit to beat the Calgary Flames 5-4 on Thursday night. Washington was 2 for 3 on the power play. Michal Neuvirth, who replaced an ineffective Braden Holtby, made 27 saves and stopped Sven Baertschi and Jiri Hudler in the shootout. “You’re looking for some sort of momentum change,” Oates said of switching goalies after Calgary took a 3-0 lead in the first period. “The time it takes to do that, maybe a new guy, the guys start talking among themselves. Some coaches yell. I just kind of said things to guys. You’re just looking for them to re-group.” Marcus Johansson assisted on all three second-period goals for Washington, which earned its first win after dropping the opener to the Blackhawks on Tuesday night. Connor Carrick and Nicklas Backstrom also scored for Washington. David Jones, Lee Stempniak, Hudler and Lance Bouma scored for Calgary. Karri Ramo made 35 saves. Calgary, which has missed the playoffs the past four seasons, has lost four straight season openers. “Very happy with the effort, obviously disappointed with the result,” Flames coach Bob Hartley said. “I told the boys, ’It’s one thing to play in the NHL, and there a different way to win in the NHL.’ “We’re not going to start tonight on Game 1 saying, ’Oh, we’re young’ and

There’s absolutely no excuse.” The Capitals fought back in the second period, scoring three goals — the second two by Ovechkin and first by Carrick, who got behind the Flames’ defence and had a clear path to the net. David Jones, acquired in an offseason trade with the Colorado Avalanche, gave Calgary a 1-0 lead at 5:18 of the first period. About three minutes later, Lance Bouma’s check left Washington defenceman Jack Hillen

injured on the ice while Tom Wilson had a fight with Bouma. Wilson and Bouma both connected punches before Wilson flipped Bouma to the ice. Both received five-minute majors. Hillen, who suffered a lower-body injury and did not return, was helped up and off the ice by teammates. Ovechkin escorted Hillen, who leaned on a trainer, across the ice to the bench. Oates said Hillen was at the hospital “is going to be out for a bit.”

Stempniak made it 2-0 with the teams playing 4-on-4 midway through the period. Hudler added a power-play goal with a slap shot at 16:22 of the first. Oates said he believed his team was still reeling from its loss Tuesday, when Chicago earned a 6-4 win. “I think we were really flat coming out. I really do,” Oates said. “I didn’t expect it, but I really thought we were. And you know what? It was their first night. They were flying.”

Dodgers bump off Braves in NLDS opener BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw walks to the mound after striking out Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman in the sixth inning of Game 1 of the National League division series, Thursday, in Atlanta.

Dodgers 6 Braves 1 ATLANTA — Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers opened the playoffs looking intent on ending that quarter-century drought since their last World Series championship. For the Atlanta Braves, another dose of October misery. Kershaw struck out 12 during seven dominant innings, Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run homer and the Dodgers beat the bumbling Braves 6-1 in Game 1 of the NL division series Thursday night. The big-money Dodgers haven’t won a Series title since 1988 — by far their longest dry spell since the franchise moved from Brooklyn to Southern California in 1958. In an interesting twist, Kershaw was born just a few months before that most recent title. If the lefthander keeps pitching the way he did against Atlanta, the Dodgers might have a chance to go all the way again. “He’s the best pitcher in baseball,” Gonzalez said, “and he showed it tonight.” Kershaw, who had a 1.83 ERA during the regular season, limited the Braves to Chris Johnson’s runscoring single with two outs in the fourth. That just seemed to make the pitcher mad — he struck out Andrelton Simmons to end Atlanta’s only serious threat, and the next five Braves hitters for good measure. Appropriately, Kershaw finished up by striking out the side in the seventh, matching his season high for Ks. He allowed just three hits. The Braves struck out 15 times in all. Even though slugger Matt Kemp is out for the playoffs and Andre Ethier is hobbling with an injured ankle, the Dodgers had no trouble piling up runs against Kris Medlen and the Braves. The Atlanta starter, who came into the playoffs riding a five-game winning streak, gave up nine hits and five runs in four-plus innings. Medlen finally got

the hook when he plunked Yasiel Puig with a pitch right between the shoulder blades. Of course, Medlen would’ve fared better if he’d gotten any help from the guys behind him. The Braves played some truly atrocious defence, though they were not charged with an error. In the second, rookie left fielder Evan Gattis flopped to the ground in an attempt to catch a sinking liner, only to look very much like the converted catcher he is. The ball hit by A.J. Ellis rolled all the way to the wall for an RBI double, putting the Dodgers ahead 2-0 on a play that an outfielder with even a modest amount of experience probably would’ve grabbed fairly easily. Gonzalez began to put it out of reach in the third, driving a pitch over the centre-field wall for his first post-season homer, a two-run shot that made it 4-0 as a sense of doom fell over a Turner Field crowd that had been so raucous in the first when Medlen struck out the side. “Getting that 4-0 lead, we were really comfortable,” Gonzalez said. Not that Atlanta fans haven’t seen this all before. The Braves are perhaps best known for winning only one World Series title during a historic run of 14 straight division titles. Now, they’re already in the hole as they try to snap a streak of losing seven straight post-season series since 2001. At least they’re not done yet. After losing to St. Louis in a one-and-done wildcard game last season, which was marred by a disputed infield-fly call, the Braves have a chance to bounce back in the best-of-five NLDS. Game 2 is Friday night, though the Braves surely can’t afford another loss before they head to Los Angeles for the next two games, if the series lasts that long. In addition to Gattis’ stumbling attempt at a catch, second baseman Elliot Johnson bobbled Carl Crawford’s grounder leading off the third, a play that was generously ruled a hit by the official scorer. Medlen retired the next two hitters, but Gonzalez drove the next pitch over the wall, with Jason Heyward making a futile leap that left him hanging from the top.

Cardinals give Pirates reality jolt with rout in opener BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cardinals 9 Pirates 1 ST. LOUIS — Carlos Beltran, Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals gave Pittsburgh a quick reality jolt. Beltran’s three-run homer sparked a seven-run third inning Thursday and the Cardinals got seven stingy innings from Wainwright to open their NL division series with a 9-1 rout of the Pirates. “To be able to get out on a good first step and play well today I think is big for our guys confidence-wise,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. “Gives us an opportunity to just take some momentum, and momentum is big right now when you talk about a five-game series.” The first eight Cardinals reached safely in the third to chase A.J. Burnett, saddling the right-hander with

the second-shortest outing of his career and putting Game 1 out of reach early. A sellout crowd roared and then settled in for an easy victory by the NL Central champions, making their third consecutive trip to the post-season. “Game 164 was rough,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “One of the things we’ve been good at is we don’t overcook things.” Lance Lynn (15-10) faces Pittsburgh rookie Gerrit Cole (10-7) in Game 2 on Friday. After a record 20 straight losing seasons, the Pirates are back in the playoffs for the first time since 1992. They entered their first best-of-five division series with plenty of momentum after beating Cincinnati in the wild-card game Tuesday, but Pittsburgh never threatened to rally against Wainwright and finished with only four hits. Pittsburgh also was sloppy in the

field, committing three errors. St. Louis was sharp on defence, with reliever Carlos Martinez turning in the top play by slinging an off-balance throw to first to nip Russell Martin in the eighth. “What a play!” Matheny mouthed in the dugout. Third baseman David Freese prevented extra bases in the third with a diving catch on Clint Barmes’ low liner. Wainwright remained unbeaten in the post-season, going to 3-0 with a 2.27 ERA in 14 games, five of them starts. He allowed a run on three hits in seven innings, striking out nine without a walk. The only damage came on a homer by Pedro Alvarez to start the fifth. The right-hander tied for the NL lead with 19 wins this year and was 4-0 in his last five starts. He thrives on expectations. “I’d love to be that guy,” Wainwright

said. “It’s important to have somebody go out there that you can count on for sure.” Wainwright also started the Cardinals’ big burst with a leadoff, full-count walk. Beltran, who has never reached the World Series, reprised his role as one of the game’s greatest playoff sluggers. His 443-foot drive to the distant second deck in right field put St. Louis ahead and was the second-longest shot by a left-handed batter at 8-year-old Busch Stadium. “I almost got caught up in the moment,” said Wainwright, who had a perfect view from second base. “I threw my hands up in the air as soon as he hit it, I knew it was gone. “Then I realized I had to run.” Beltran has 15 home runs, 10 doubles and 28 RBIs in 35 post-season games. He also has scored 40 runs and stolen 11 bases.

B2 Cassidy taking his referee career to another level BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

The journey has been both lengthy and fulfilling. Matt Cassidy of Red Deer played minor hockey to the age of 13, then decided he preferred the role played by the men in stripes. He started as an on-ice official of minor hockey games and this year was hired — on a full-time basis — as a Western Hockey League referee. “Jim Claggett, a referee at the time, got me started,” said Cassidy. “I started to make some money doing something different and just fell in love with it. This is my 10th season since I started and I’ve worked my way through minor hockey and into junior.” Along the way, Cassidy has landed a couple of Hockey Canada gigs — working as a linesmen during the 2009 Western Canada Under 16 Challenge Cup at Blackfalds and as a referee during the 2012 Telus Cup at Leduc — and has attended numerous Hockey Alberta camps. “I’ve been to Program of Excellence camps where they evaluate officials as well as players,” he said. “Whenever they have scrimmages at these camps they need refs, and that way they can develop officials as well as players. It’s quite the process.” Cassidy has also attended Hockey Alberta referee clinics and camps that focus on skating skills and rules knowledge and culminate in exams for officials attempting to attain certification at various levels. He has also participated in WHL I.D. camps and is now a member of the league’s fulltime referee roster. Cassidy worked his first-ever WHL regular season contest Sept. 25 at Edmonton, where the host Oil Kings were blanked 6-0 by the Regina Pats. “That was exciting, a lot of fun,” he said. “I felt a bit of pressure but I think I was ready to take the next step so it was just exciting to get out there.” Cassidy’s days as a minor hockey referee are pretty much over, although he did officiate a

midget AA game last weekend. “I was filling in because no one else was available. When you get a call, it doesn’t matter what level — you just go and do it,” said the 24-year-old, a volunteer officials clinic coordinator for Central Alberta. He admitted that he had to grow a thicker epidermis to perform his on-ice duties, particularly at the minor level. “I think that you definitely have to have the right type of personality to deal with conflict. You have to learn how to deal with it, whether you use the rule book or whether you use communication,” said Cassidy. “You need a thick skin just to put up and deal with some of those moms and dads who coach (from the stands). “It’s something that as you get better as an official you also get better at dealing with. When I was younger, I used the rule book a lot and give out lots of bench minors and kicked coaches out of games. Now I try and position myself so that I don’t have to do that. Honestly, when you referee a game the less penalties you call the better. I think all referees are hockey fans. I hate it when you influence a game, but you have to do your job.” Cassidy, whose assignments consist mainly of Alberta Junior League and WHL games — at roughly a 60-40 rate — but also include junior B, Chinook senior and college contests, cites local officials Paul Coad and Curtis Nichols, the Hockey Alberta referee in chief, as two of his main mentors. Regarding a source of inspiration, former Red Deer junior B player and current NHL referee Kyle Rehman is at the top of that list. Cassidy noted that Rehman, who has worked his way up the ranks and in 2006 was named the WHL referee of the year, has never forgotten his roots. “He does a lot of work with the Western League and Hockey Alberta,” said Cassidy. “He helps Hockey Alberta and gives back to every league he’s ever been a part of, which is huge. He teaches power skating, how to deal with coaches . . . it’s incredible the experience that he

He’s an inspiration, for sure.” Cassidy also sees Rehman as a prime example of someone who quickly climbed the ladder due to his diligence and dedication. “He’s a guy who started and

then just ran with it. He’s in the NHL 10 to 12 years after he started refereeing,” said Cassidy, a Red Deer insurance broker by day. “It just goes to show there are some huge opportunities. I want to see how far I can go with this . . . hopefully do it for a living one day.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Queens came prepared to play BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Queens 7 Trojans 1 The RDC Queens were obviously listening to their coach. Queens head coach Bob Rutz spent most of this week working on “the little things” after the team turned in a dismal performance in a 5-2 loss to the Edge Hockey Academy in Calgary last weekend. “We had a terrible weekend last week and we picked it up in practice this week and took it into this game,” said Queens captain Rachael Hoppins following a 7-1 victory over the SAIT Trojans in Alberta Colleges Women’s Hockey League exhibition play at the Arena Thursday. “I think we needed a little wake up call as we took the Edge a little lightly. We looked at them as a high school prep team and figured we could just show up and win. This week we’re excited about playing our first game at home and turned it around.” Rutz agreed. “The biggest difference was we were a lot more prepared to play,” he said. “We worked on the little things and we transferred what we worked on at practice into the game.” The Queens never trailed, grabbing a 1-0 lead at 5:58 of the first period on a shot by defenceman Megan Jones that went in off the post. The Trojans tied the game at 1-1 at 3:14 of the second period on a penalty shot by Mackenzie Duncan, who beat Queens netminder Camille Trautman to the stick side. However, the Queens regained the lead at 6:12 as Laura Salomons scored the first of her two goals. They took the 2-1 1ead into the third period, then put the game away with

goals by Emily Lougheed, Morgan Brandl, Rikki Leonard, Salomons and Jade Petrie. Brandl, Leonard — both defencemen— and Salomons all scored on the power play. “Our power play has come a long way, it was like night and day this week from last,” said Hoppins, who set up both of Salomons goals. The Queens also did a good job on the penalty kill, killing off seven penalties. “We got too much practise tonight as we took too many penalties, but it’s beginning to look good as is our power play,” added Hoppins. The Queens finished with 40 shots on net and did a great job of driving to the net. “(Rutz) preaches for us to drive the net, get the puck on our forehand and get it up under the bar,” said Hoppins. “We’ve been preaching to them to get the puck to the net and get our forwards going to the net and converting their chances,” said Rutz. “It’s the same at every level of hockey, the more trouble you cause in front the more you’ll have success. We did that tonight.” While Rutz was pleased with the victory, he knows they can’t be satisfied. “Our goal is to build off each week and keep getting better. We can’t be satisfied where we are . . . we have to keep building and building.” Trautman finished with 13 saves, facing just one shot in the third period. Laticia Castillo started in net for SAIT and allowed five goals on 34 shots. Hannah Brock gave up two goals on six shots. The Queens return to action Thursday when they host the Edge at 7 p.m. at the Arena. Basketball Kings The RDC Kings had a tough opening

NHL ROUNDUP BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PENGUINS 3 DEVILS 0 PITTSBURGH — Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 shots for his 250th NHL victory and franchise-record 24th shutout, and Sidney Crosby scored in Pittsburgh’s two-goal first period to lead the Penguins to a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams. Chuck Kobasew and Craig Adams added goals for the Penguins, who took control early. Kobasew and Crosby scored less than four minutes apart in the first, and Adams made it 3-0 midway through the third to celebrate his 800th career game in style. Cory Schneider made 18 saves for the Devils. Schneider’s start marked the first time in 19 years Martin Brodeur didn’t play in the season opener for New Jersey. Brodeur is expected to start Friday at home against the New York Islanders. Fleury was stellar from the opening faceoff and even stopped a penalty shot by Adam Henrique late in the third period to preserve the shutout. BRUINS 3, LIGHTNING 1 BOSTON — Chris Kelly scored on a penalty shot, and Patrice Bergeron also had a short-handed goal as Boston opened defence of its Eastern Conference championship with a victory over Tampa Bay. Kelly was hooked from behind about eight minutes in while Boston was killing off a penalty, and he converted the one-on-one with goalie Anders Lindback. Boston also killed a 5-on-3 power play in the first period and another in the third. Tuukka Rask made 32 saves for Boston, which reached the Stanley Cup finals last season for the second time in three years.

With NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and the club’s new owners in attendance, the Coyotes turned a tight game into a one-sided contest behind Vrbata’s second straight hat trick — dating to last season — and fifth of his career. Kyle Chipchura also scored, Martin Hanzal had two assists, and Smith made some tough saves on a pair of early penalty kills, including one from his stomach on a shot by Benoit Pouliot. Marc Staal scored a power-play goal for the shorthanded Rangers in their first game under new coach Alain Vigneault. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 28 shots for New York. SHARKS 4, CANUCKS 1 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Justin Braun scored his first goal in more than 19 months to break a tie late in the second period and San Jose went on to beat Vancouver in the season opener for both teams. Brent Burns, Patrick Marleau and Tommy Wingels also scored for the Sharks, who have won eight straight against the Canucks including a sweep in the first round of the playoffs last season. Antti Niemi made 21 saves. Jason Garrison scored a power-play goal and Roberto Luongo made 31 saves for the Canucks, who lost in the debut of new coach John Tortorella. The Canucks opened this season on the same ice they ended the last one on after the disappointing early playoff exit led to the firing of coach Alain Vigneault.

Leafs’ negotiations with Phaneuf on new deal different than with Kessel

INSIDER emerged from the Ron Wilson doghouse to find a solid role under Randy Carlyle, but still ended up fifth in ice time among Leaf defencemen. This season, the 6-foot-5 defender skated 25:27 in the season-opening win in Montreal, then another 22:37 on Wednesday night in the triumph over the Flyers in Philly. Phaneuf played more in both games, and remains

The six-game affair opens at 8:30 p.m. today with the Okotoks Drillers facing the Innisfail Eagles. The Stony Plain Eagles clash with the Bentley Generals at 5:30 p.m. and the Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs take on the Drillers at 8:30,p.m. Saturday.

cessor to Phaneuf, and gives the Leafs all the leverage in contract talks with the captain, as does the fairly long list of young defencemen coming through the Leaf organization that includes Jake Gardiner, Morgan Rielly, Stuart Percy, Andrew MacWilliam and Petter Granberg. The one thing Franson and Phaneuf have in common? They were both absolute steals in trades. Phaneuf came from Calgary in a large, multi-player deal that basically cost the Leafs nothing. Franson was acquired from Nashville in a trade that was really all about the Predators off-loading Matthew Lombardi’s salary, and one in which the Leafs

sent Brett Lebda and Robert Slaney to Tennessee in exchange. The big gain for the Preds was the relief from Lombardi’s salary, but in terms of players, this is a deal wildly weighted in Toronto’s favour. A final note on the Kessel deal; talks really started Saturday night after the final exhibition game when GM Dave Nonis made an offer to Kessel’s agent, Wade Arnott. The Kessel camp started around $8.6 million a year, while Toronto’s first office came in just below $8 million per. They sawed it off at $8 million, and a big element in the final deal for the Leafs was not giving Kessel a full no-move-

ment clause. The Leafs have some flexibility in the future if the deal doesn’t work out. Kessel has to submit a list of eight teams every year to which he’d be willing to be traded.

the rearguard Carlyle trusts most in all situations, but it sure seems Franson is now a close second. The 26-year-old Franson may have been the team’s best player outside of the goalies in the first two games. He and Phaneuf both play the right side on defence, although they combine forces as pointmen on the power play. Franson, who is almost two years younger than Phaneuf, came cheap this year on a oneyear, $2 million deal, and already you can see a big payday coming next summer, if not before on an extension. Phaneuf is at $6.5 million in the last year of his deal, and it’s hard to see the Leafs wanting to pay him more. Maybe not even as much. Franson, should he continue on this curve, would be the logical suc-

There are many differences between the Phil Kessel negotiations, just concluded, and the upcoming discussions over a new deal for Dion Phaneuf. The main one? The Leafs had no ready replacement for Kessel if he had chosen to walk out the door next July, and few options to go out and find a new top scorer. That gave him all the leverage. With Phaneuf, you can already see that it’s a very different set of circumstances. The club has a ready replacement, it appears. Maybe more than one. Despite missing most of training camp while trying to get a new contract, blueliner Cody Franson is clearly emerging as the successor to Phaneuf as the club’s No. 1 defenceman if Phaneuf isn’t retained. Last season, Franson

B4 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 4, 2013

DeMarco looking to stay on a roll ROOKIE LIONS QUARTERBACK TRYING FOR THIRD STRAIGHT WIN IN RELIEF FOR INJURED TRAVIS LULAY AGAINST ROUGHRIDERS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Mike Benevides believes the toughest test for a young quarterback comes in his second start. “Game No. 1 you’re just trying to get through it,” the B.C. Lions head coach said Thursday. “Game No. 2 you know you’re the starter. There’s a lot of different things. The opponent has some tape on you.” Thomas DeMarco not only survived his second professional start last week, he improved to 2-0 and will be going for a third straight win Friday night when the Lions host the Saskatchewan Roughriders in a key West Division matchup at B.C. Place Stadium. The 24-year-old from Palm Desert, Calif., who saw limited action as the Lions’ third-string quarterback last season, has been thrown into the fire the last two weeks with starter Travis Lulay nursing a shoulder injury. “He’s a tremendous competitor. Everything he’s ever had to do, he’s had to overcome (adversity),” Benevides said of DeMarco. “He has tremendous poise. He has a way that the game’s not too big for him. He’s got a way to stay humble and stay loose and relaxed.

“There’s no doubt experience is not in his favour but what he’s done has been quite amazing.” DeMarco has been efficient, if not spectacular, for the Lions (9-4), completing 39-of-65 passes for 435 yards and four touchdowns against zero interceptions. He said that making his first two starts on the road, including 24-22 victory over the Roughriders (8-5) in Regina and a 53-17 blowout of the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg last week, has been beneficial. “I feel a little more comfortable. It’s not my first play going in, but whether you’re home or away you’re going to have those nerves,” said DeMarco, whose team is 6-0 at B.C. Place. “You’re going to have that anxiety to get in there and play well. “The biggest thing is the longer I’m in there, the more comfortable I’m going to get.” DeMarco got a big boost from the Lions defence in last week’s victory over Winnipeg that clinched a playoff berth. Adam Bighill was a catalyst with 10 tackles, a sack and two forced fumbles. The third-year linebacker also had 30-yard touchdown return of a fumble and was named the CFL’s defensive

player of the week and the defensive player of the month for September as the Lions won their third straight. Lions cornerback Joshua Bell said the B.C. defenders are feeding off each other’s energy. “You actually start salivating because you want to make the next play,” he said. “It’s like lions on a big catch. Everybody wants a piece of that meat.” The Roughriders, meanwhile, limp into the game having lost four straight after ripping off wins in eight of their first nine contests. Saskatchewan quarterback Darian Durant has three straight 300-yard passing games and six touchdowns over that span, but has been intercepted six times. “We’re definitely entering the most crucial part of the season,” Durant said. “We’re fighting for playoff seedings. “The good thing about it is we can control our own destiny. We play these guys two more times.” Friday’s game also marks the return to Vancouver of former Lions receiver Geroy Simon, who was traded to Saskatchewan in the off-season. The 38-year-old broke the CFL record for career catches last week in the

Roughriders’ 17-12 loss to the Montreal Alouettes. Saskatchewan expects to have star running back Kory Sheets in the lineup after he missed the last two weeks with a knee injury. Sheets was a key to Saskatchewan’s early season success with a league-high 1,222 yards rushing. “He’s certainly a big-time player and our guys are jacked up to play against him,” Benevides said. “He’s going to get his yardage. He’s going to make his plays. I think the biggest thing is how you approach it. I think it takes 12 men running to the football (on defence).” Saskatchewan can tie B.C. for second in the West standings with a victory, while the Lions can pull even with the Stampeders — at least temporarily — ahead of next week’s pivotal game at Calgary. The Stampeders host the Blue Bombers on Saturday. “Our mentality isn’t to get a home playoff game. Our mentality is to play at home the whole playoffs,” Lions defensive back Korey Banks said. “We’re going to take care of our own destiny. The cards are in our hands and we like it that way.” Follow Joshua Clipperton on Twitter at @josh—clipperton

Ticats LB Isaac excited to be facing former team BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — He plays with passion and energy and always has something to say but Brandon Isaac will have a bit more juice than usual tonight. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats colourful linebacker will face his former Toronto Argonauts teammates for the first time since being released by the CFL club in July. Isaac helped the Double Blue win a Grey Cup title last year and was a team captain to start the season before being let go four games into the season. The four-year CFL veteran will arrive at Rogers Centre with a definite chip on his shoulder in the opening game of a home-and-home series between the long-time rivals. The Argos face the Ticats in Guelph, Ont., on Oct. 14. “I can say you play a little harder, you can say that because you’re going to have that grit to win and try to prove those guys wrong,” Isaac said candidly. “I’ve thought about it (facing the Argos), I’ve looked at it a few times (on the calendar). “It’s here now and as a team we’re ready to play and see where we’re at.” Ticats coach Kent Austin, always a model of political correctness when addressing reporters, could only shake his head at Isaac’s brutal honesty during Hamilton’s pre-game news conference. “That’s not what I wanted to hear,” a smiling Austin said, drawing laughter from the assembled media. And asked if Isaac had been watching his news conferences this season, Austin jokingly quipped: “Apparently not.” However, Austin said he’s not concerned about emotions getting the better of Isaac on the field. “Look, football is an emotional game and you’ve

got to play with your heart but you also have to play with your head,” he said. “B.I. brings us . . . the energy, the emotion, the physicality our defence needs. “He handles it the right way.” Isaac definitely has the gift of the gab on the field and says he’ll have plenty to say Friday night. “There’s a couple of things I want to say,” he said. “I envision me making certain plays and saying certain things but those plays have to happen for me to say it that way. “I’m going to talk and whatever I feel at that moment is the right thing to say I’m going to say it.” But Toronto receiver/returner Chad Owens (ribs) — who will be game-time decision — said the Argos expect to face a motivated and vocal Isaac. “B.I. is a good football player,” Owens said. “He tries to get under your skin but we’re not going to involved in that. “Whether he knows it or not, that energizes both sides of the football, that will get us going. We have to know where he’s at, we have to understand what he’s doing, when he’s blitzing and we also have to worry about what we’re going to do.” The game is an important one for both clubs, who will play their final five regular-season contests against East Division rivals. Toronto (9-4) can clinch a home playoff game with a win and would cement first in the East if the Montreal Alouettes also lose to the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday. Hamilton (6-7) can close ground on the front-running Argos with a victory and would claim a post-season berth if Edmonton and Winnipeg (which is visiting Calgary) also both lose. “That’s what our season has come down to,” Austin said. “It’s pretty apparent there’s good and bad news. The good news is they’re all Eastern teams, the

bad news is they’re all Eastern teams so we have to prepare well because they’re the most meaningful games.” Sophomore Zach Collaros makes his sixth straight start for Toronto in place of veteran Ricky Ray, who suffered a shoulder injury against Calgary on Aug. 23. Ray will be the Argos’ No. 3 quarterback behind Collaros and backup Trevor Harris. “He’s not at 100 per cent, he’s probably at 85 per cent strength in his arm but if he has to play, he can,” Milanovich said of Ray. “We want to get him out there and used to his pre-game routine and going over the wristband . . . so if it’s next week or the week after he’s ready to start that it’s not the first time he goes through it.” Toronto is 4-1 since Ray’s injury, becoming the first CFL team ever to win all four games of a fourgame road trip in the process,. They rallying from a deficit in each road win. Collaros has been especially impressive in the fourth quarter of those contest, completing 33-of-38 passes for 372 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions and a stunning 142.5 quarterback rating. “I guess we’ve executed, I’ve thrown better, we’ve caught it better and done all those things better in the fourth,” Collaros said. “I don’t really know if their is an answer for that. “We need to find an answer for the first couple of quarters to get it going and not make it so hard on ourselves.” Hamilton will have rookie safety Courtney Stephen back in the lineup while former Washington Redskin Brandon Banks will return kicks. “He (Stephen) is going to be a really really good football player in this league for a long time,” Austin said. “We had pretty high expectations for him but I think he’s developed faster than I thought he would.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAKE FOREST, Ill. — They had attended symposiums and talked football over lunch a few times, and when Marc Trestman was out of work, Sean Payton came through with an assist. For that, the Bears’ coach is grateful. There probably won’t be much reminiscing when Chicago takes on New Orleans at Soldier Field this week, but Trestman did take some time to reflect on Thursday. “No. 1, it was more about a friendship between Sean and myself,” he said. Trestman had just been fired after a twoyear run as offensive co-ordinator at North Carolina State and was on a sort of sabbatical when he was hired as a consultant to Payton, the Saints’ coach, for the 2007 season. They weren’t close friends at the time, but they knew each other from those symposiums, back when Payton was an assistant in the league. For Trestman, the consulting job was “an opportunity to have some dignity in my career.” Five years as the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes and two CFL championships later, Trestman is leading an NFL team for the first time. And he’s off to a good start. There were comeback wins over Cincinnati and Minnesota to open the season and a stroll through Pittsburgh before a loss at Detroit last week. The Bears (3-1) are trying to pick themselves

up and knock the Saints (4-0) from the ranks of the unbeaten. They’re tied with the Lions for the NFC North lead. Their offence appears to be a better fit for the personnel, even if things have been a bit shaky at times, and it looks like Trestman has connected with quarterback Jay Cutler. That’s something previous offensive co-ordinators Ron Turner, Mike Martz and Mike Tice could not do. And it’s a big reason why he is getting this opportunity, even though he seemed to vanish from the NFL radar. Trestman spent several decades coaching at the college and NFL levels under men such as Bud Grant, Howard Schnellenberger and Bill Walsh. He developed a reputation as a quarterback guru for his work with Bernie Kosar, Rich Gannon and Steve Young, but by the time he took the job with New Orleans, he was in a sort of limbo. “I had just been let go at N.C. State, I wasn’t doing anything, I had two years left on a contract,” Trestman said. “He invited me down and really showed professional respect. ... It was a great learning time for me and it was also a good time to watch Sean be a head coach and see how he worked on a daily basis and see how he handled the success and the adversity, because during the year I was there, they went through some adversity during the course of the season. So, I got a chance to look at that, and do things the right way, it was impressive.”

B6 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 4, 2013

Americans jump out to early lead at Presidents Cup DUBLIN, Ohio — Tiger Woods sat in a cart with a tiny squirrel resting on his shoulder. Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel walked onto the first tee wearing wigs to make up for their bad haircuts. Fred Couples had cupcakes delivered to him by the opposing captain in honour of his 54th birthday. Opening day at the Presidents Cup was unlike any other Thursday at Muirfield Village. Except for the score. After six hours of fourballs that produced 102 birdies, two eagles and a new celebrity named “Sammy the Squirrel,” the Americans won the opening session for the fourth straight time, a solid start in their quest to maintain dominance in this event. But it took a great save from a plugged lie in the bunker by Steve Stricker in the final match on the course to give the Americans a 3 ½2 ½ lead. And despite being in another hole, this only felt like a divot to an International team inspired by the clutch play of Hideki Matsuyama, the South African duo of Oosthuizen and Schwartzel, and the refusal to be spooked from trailing early in every match. “There’s plenty of heart on the team,” Adam Scott said. “And think we should take a lot of that.” Ernie Els didn’t make a birdie until the 17th hole, but his 12-footer extended the match to the 18th hole. The Internationals looked like they might win the last hole with a par when 20-year-old Jordan Spieth drove into the water and Stricker’s approach plugged into the face of the bunker. He blasted out to 3 feet, and de Jonge missed his 18-foot birdie putt to end a wild day. “You don’t want anybody else to have to get that up-and-down other than Steve Stricker, so, God, what a match,” Spieth said. “It was incredible.” That wasn’t the only highlight. Scott chipped in for eagle on the

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL LACOMBE — Josh Prevost scored on a fouryard run at 2:51 of the fourth quarter to give the Lacombe Rams a 2018 victory over the Sylvan Lake Lakers in Central Alberta High School Football League action Thursday. The Lakers, who scored 18 straight points, grabbed the lead at 3:32 of the third quarter on a fumble recovery by Ivan Murafuentes. The Lakers took the early lead in the game with a safety at 6:48 of the third quarter, but Judah Knip scored on a one-yard plunge at 4:38 and Josh Person scored on a four-yard run at 7:40 of the second quarter. Lachlan Jacobs converted Knip’s major and later converted Prevost’s score. Trent Kondor grabbed a 20-yard touchdown reception from Kane Price for the other Sylvan Lake score at 10:28 of the second quarter. Aiden Smaill added a convert and kicked a 37-yard field goal on the final play of the first half. Prevost led the Rams with 142 yards rushing on 15 carries while Landon Rosene had 84 yards on 15 carries for the Lakers. Sadair Nobel grabbed two passes for 71 yards for Lacombe and Shon Zenert grabbed two passes for 13 yards for Sylvan. The win gave the Rams a 2-1 record while the Lakers slipped to 1-21. League action continues today as Rocky Mountain House visits Camrose, Ponoka is in Stettler and Lindsay Thurber meets Hunting Hills at 7 p.m. at Great Chief Park.

of the guys and said, ‘Hey, the U.S. has had everything go their way the front nine, and just be patient,”’ captain Nick Price said. “And what a comeback they made.” Muirfield Village was set up for birdies, and there were plenty of them. Ten of the 12 teams were at least 8-under par in their rounds. The exceptions were Angel Cabrera and Marc Leishman, who were only 3 under in the shortest match of the day. They lost, 5 and 4, to Woods and Matt Kuchar. The Americans used a handshake from “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” and they used it a lot.

win another hole the rest of the way, however. “I had good rhythm early on and when we went back out (after the delay), I was just a little bit tight and didn’t make very good swings,” Mickelson said. The Presidents Cup began with fourballs for the first time since 1996, which should have favoured the Internationals. Instead, the Americans won their first fourballs session in 10 years, dating to the second day in South Africa. Still, this was a moral victory for the International team. “At the break, I just spoke to most

15th hole and Matsuyama holed a 10-foot birdie putt on the next hole to square their match against Bill Haas and Webb Simpson. Haas answered with an 18-foot birdie putt to go 1 up, only for the 21-year-old Japanese star to hit his 8-iron approach from 168 yards to 2 feet for birdie on the 18th to halve the match. “There were so many birdies made, you really couldn’t keep up,” Couples said. As for that squirrel? Love found it on the second hole and kept it with him for good luck the rest of the way. It was on his wrist, in his pocket, and quickly became the team mascot. At one point, Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn put it on Woods’ back. It spooked her boyfriend, who at first looked bothered, but later became friends with Sammy. “I carry a rabbit’s foot around a lot. I don’t know much about a squirrel, or a live squirrel,” Couples said. The International team had its own mascot — Mother Nature. The Americans bolted out to a big start and were ahead in all six matches early. The round was stopped for 1 ½ hours because of thunderstorms, and while none of the matches had gone beyond the 10th hole, it felt like a chance for the Internationals to start over. “The break did us really good,” Oosthuizen said. “We came back out, felt refreshed and just played well.” Jason Day and Graham DeLaet rallied from 3 down to Hunter Mahan and Brandt Snedeker, winning on the 18th hole when Day made a 20-foot birdie putt. Oosthuizen and Schwartzel gave Keegan Bradley and Phil Mickelson their first loss. The South Africans, best of friends since junior golf, took their first lead on the 11th hole and didn’t lose another hole until they had a 2-and-1 win. Mickelson and Bradley were 3-0 as partners in the Ryder Cup last year and had a 2-up lead through seven holes on Bradley’s eagle. They didn’t

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 4, 2013 B7

Weeden came to the rescue and rallied Browns to win over Bills BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Brandon Weeden lost his starting job, but never any confidence. He promised that if he ever got the chance to start for the Browns again he would make the most of it. And on Thursday night, in front of a home crowd that booed some of his early throws and a national TV audience, Weeden came to Cleveland’s rescue. Weeden replaced injured starter Brian Hoyer and rallied the Browns to a 37-24 win Thursday night over the Buffalo Bills, who also lost starting rookie quarterback EJ Manuel with a knee injury. “You can only control what you can control,” Weeden said. “I’m just sticking my neck on the line for this football team. I prepared like I was starting, but it was tough with zero reps the last two weeks. I was a little rusty to start.” Weeden threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon in the third quarter as the Browns (3-2) won their third straight and temporarily moved into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. It’s the Browns best record after five games since they were 3-2 in 2001. “”We don’t care about history,“ Gordon said. ”This is a new year and this is a new team.“ Safety T.J. Ward intercepted rookie Jeff Tuel’s pass and returned it 44 yards for a TD with 1:44 left to end any comeback hopes for the Bills (2-3). “We’re a hungry football team,” Weeden said. “It took all three phases.” Hoyer sustained a potentially serious right knee injury on a scramble in the first quarter, and Manuel was forced out after taking a helmet to his right knee on a run in the third. Neither returned and their injuries could impact both teams’ seasons. C.J. Spiller had a 54-yard TD run and Fred Jackson had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for the Bills, who could do nothing on offence once Manuel left the game. Billy Cundiff kicked field goals of 24 and 44 yards in the fourth quarter for the Browns, who overcame a 10-0 deficit and were down 24-17 less than two minutes into the second quarter. Cundiff’s second kick with 2:91 left put the Browns ahead 30-24, and Cleveland turned it over to their third-ranked overall defence. With the Bills still within a TD, Tuel locked in on Robert Woods and never saw Ward, who cut in front of the receiver and scored untouched, allowing Cleveland fans to relax following a hectic second half. Travis Benjamin had an electrifying 79-yard TD punt return in the first half for Cleveland. Beyond the quarterbacks, both teams had one other key player go down with an injury. Bills leading receiver Stevie Johnson injured his back in the first half and didn’t return. Johnson caught two catches for 19 yards before he went out. Browns defensive end Desmond Bryant was taken to the Cleveland Clinic in the third quarter after experiencing shortness of breath. Last year with Oakland, Bryant had to be hospitalized during a game with an irregular heartbeat, but returned to play the next week With Buffalo leading 24-17, Weeden found a streaking Gordon down the left sideline and the wide receiver made a juggling catch with 5:53 left in the quarter. It was Weeden’s first TD pass since Week 1, and his first scoring connection this season with Gordon, who was suspended for the first two games. Weeden started slowly but finished 13 of 24 for 197 yards, and was sacked five times. Weeden missed Cleveland’s past two games, and although he had been cleared to play this week, Browns coach Rob Chudzinski chose to stay with Hoyer, who had beaten Minnesota and Cincinnati the past two weeks, throwing clinching TDs late in both wins.

B8 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 4, 2013

Bucs send Freeman packing Bryzgalov attends training camp BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — Quarterback Josh Freeman was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, a week after being benched in favour of rookie Mike Glennon. The winless Bucs made the latest move during their bye week after general manager Mark Dominik contacted every other team in the NFL in an unsuccessful attempt to trade Freeman, a 4,000-yard passer a year ago and the team’s career leader with 1,144 completions and 80 touchdowns. Coach Greg Schiano benched Freeman after the 25-year-old completed just 45.7 per cent of his passes and posted a league-low quarterback rating of 59.3 through three games, all losses. Glennon made his first pro start

last Sunday, turning the ball over three times during the fourth quarter of a 1310 loss to Arizona. Freeman is owed the remaining $6.25 million on the contract he signed as the third quarterback selected in the 2009 draft behind Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez. “We appreciate his efforts over the past five seasons, but we felt this was in the best interests of both Josh and the Buccaneers,” Dominik said. Freeman threw for 4,065 yards, 27 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in 2012, but his inconsistent play down the stretch contributed to the team losing five of six games and failing to make the playoffs for the fifth straight year. He led the Bucs to a 10-6 record — though not a post-season berth — while throwing for 25 TDs and just six interceptions in his first full season.

for ECHL’s Las Vegas Wranglers BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ilya Bryzgalov is gambling that a trip to the minors will get him back to the NHL. The former Philadelphia Flyers goaltender is attending the ECHL’s Las Vegas Wranglers’ training camp on a tryout. He hopes to parlay that into an NHL deal. “To be clear, I intend to return to the NHL and to be ready for game action when an NHL opportunity opens up,” Bryzgalov said. “I intend to work hard while I am here in Las Vegas, and to return the support I have received from my family, the many fans who have reached out to me with words of

encouragement, and the Wranglers organization with actions, not words. “This is a unique opportunity for me to be an example to my own children, to the young fans who have supported me, to my new teammates, and eventually to the NHL teammates who will come to rely on me again.” Bryzgalov passed a physical Thursday before agreeing to the tryout. Bryzgalov, 33, went 19-17-3 with a 2.79 goals-against average and .900 save percentage last season for Philadelphia. He appeared in 40-of-48 regularseason games. The Flyers bought Bryzgalov out of the final seven years of his US$51-million, nine-year contract. He is receiving $23 million over the next 14 years.

Genome helps solve mystery diseases PATIENTS’ GENES DECODED BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS They were mystery diseases that had stumped doctors for years — adults with strange symptoms and children with neurological problems, mental slowness or muscles too weak to let them stand. Now scientists say they were able to crack a quarter of these cases by decoding the patients’ genes. Their study is the first large-scale effort to move gene sequencing out of the lab and into ordinary medical care, and it shows that high hopes for this technology are finally paying off. “This is a direct benefit of the Human Genome Project,” the big effort to decode our DNA, said Dr. Christine M. Eng of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. “We’re now able to directly benefit patients through more accurate diagnosis.” She led the study, which was published online Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine. It gives results on the first 250 patients referred to Baylor for a newer type of sequencing — just the DNA segments that hold the recipes for all the proteins the body needs. That’s only about 1 per cent of the whole genome. Baylor has sequenced more patients beyond those in the study — 1,700 so far — and found gene flaws in 1 out of 4, Eng said. That rate will improve as more genes are linked to diseases, but it’s already much higher than the less comprehensive gene tests done now, said Rebecca Nagy, a scientist at Ohio State University and president of the National Society of Genetic Counselors. “For some of these conditions there could be treatments that are lifesaving,” she said. Already, three people tested at Baylor were found to have a muscle disorder that can cause respiratory problems and even death. The condition is aggravated by infections and stress, and there are drugs to treat those and prevent serious episodes, Eng said. In other cases, having a diagnosis helped parents like Lindsey and Brandon Collier decide whether to have more children. The Colliers, who live in Georgetown, Texas, about 30 miles north of Austin, searched for years for an answer to what was plaguing their son, Cannon, now 4. “He was a pretty floppy baby” with poor muscle tone and problems eating, Lindsey Collier said. “We weren’t getting any answers and they were just all over the map on everything they were testing for.” “It is a huge weight lifted off our shoulders” she said of testing at Baylor that found a rare muscle disorder. Genetic counsellors said the problem was not likely to occur in other offspring, so the Colliers had a second child. Their 6-week-old daughter, Smith, is fine, and Cannon is being helped now by intensive physical therapy and other treatments. Just having a diagnosis is very valuable because it ends the expensive and emotionally exhausting testing that parents go through, said Dr. Robert C. Green, a geneticist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Parents hold their twin newborn babies at the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minn. Most moms can safely give birth without cesarean section surgery, according to a study published in the Thursday issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Expecting twins? Most can be born without C-section, sparing moms surgery: study THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Expecting twins? You probably don’t need to schedule a cesarean section. Most moms can safely give birth without surgery, a Canadian-led study finds. It’s the latest research to question the need for C-sections, which are done in one-third of all births in the United States and three-fourths of those involving twins. Studies increasingly are challenging longheld beliefs about cesareans, such as that women who had one need to deliver future babies the same way. Now doctors are looking hard at C-sections for twin births, which are on the rise because of infertility treatments. Twins have more risk for birth complications and some studies suggest C-sections lower

that risk, but this had not been put to a rigorous test. Dr. Jon Barrett of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center in Toronto, led a study in 25 countries of 2,800 women pregnant with twins. All of the first of the twins to be delivered were in good position for birth (most doctors still recommend a C-section if the first twin is in feetfirst or breech position). Half of the moms were scheduled to have C-sec-

tions and the rest, vaginal births. About 40 per cent of the latter group wound up having C-sections, and 10 per cent of those scheduled to have cesareans ended up giving birth vaginally. About 2 per cent of newborns died or had a serious problem, but the manner of birth made no difference. Nor did it affect the rate of complications in moms. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research

paid for the study. Results are in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. “These results do not indicate that all sets of twins should be delivered vaginally,” but that planning to do so is a reasonable choice if the doctor is experienced in twin births and knows when a C-section becomes necessary, Dr. Michael Greene of Massachusetts General Hospital wrote in a commentary in the journal.

Biopsied brain tissue yields regenerative cells STUDIED AS POTENTIAL PARKINSONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S THERAPY

Canadian researchers are taking a novel approach in trying to find an effective treatment for Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it involves taking advantage of small holes drilled in the skull for another therapeutic procedure. During surgery to implant electrodes into the brains of Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an increasingly common procedure known as deep brain stimulation, or DBS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; doctors at Western University have been removing a tiny scoop of brain cells from selected patients, then growing them in the lab. The hope is that regenerative cells contained in the biopsied tissue could one day be reprogrammed as therapeutic agents and reimplanted into a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own brain to treat Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and multiple sclerosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With further advances, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that these cells could be transformed in the laboratory to yield specific cell types needed for a particular disease, for example, dopamine neurons in Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease,â&#x20AC;? said neurosurgeon Dr. Matthew Hebb. In Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, brain cells that secrete the chemical dopamine are progressively destroyed, leading to tremors and other movement-related symptoms. In a recently published study of 19 Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients who had brain biopsies during DBS surgery, the researchers say they were able to grow millions of patient-specific cells, which would not be rejected by the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system if reimplanted. While most of the cells eventually stop dividing and die, â&#x20AC;&#x153;what takes over is this population of cells that has a very good regenerative capacity,â&#x20AC;? Hebb, who led the study, said Wednesday from London, Ont.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a type of progenitor cell, but they have a very complex makeup,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown these cells and they have characteristics of cells that may be potentially manipulated into a particular cell type.â&#x20AC;? Progenitor cells are early descendants of stem cells. Like stem cells, they can give rise to different types of cells, but unlike their ancestors, they cannot divide and reproduce indefinitely. The cells grown by Hebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team express proteins, called neurotrophic factors, that protect brain cells.

In the study of the first 250 patients at Baylor, 62 were found to have gene flaws. In 33 cases, only one faulty copy of a gene was responsible. In 16 other cases, both copies of a gene were bad. Four patients had problems in two different genes. Nine patients had faulty genes on the X chromosome. Since boys have only one copy of that sex chromosome, those disorders mostly affect that gender. Baylor gets revenue from gene testing, and two study leaders are consultants or paid speakers for gene testing companies not involved in the study. The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Human Genome Research Institute helped pay for the study, and insurers covered much of the testing. It cost $7,000 per case, which usually included sequencing the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; genes. Several years ago, he sequenced the genes of a 5-year-old Wisconsin boy who suffered from a rare genetic disease. That unprecedented feat led to a cord blood transplant and other treatments for the boy. Other areas of medicine are exploring gene sequencing. Last month, the government launched a pilot project to try it for newborn screening. In December, two studies reported on its use to screen embryos during fertility treatments, and for figuring out the cause of stillbirths. Online: Journal: http://www. nejm.org

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has detected the presence of a plastic ingredient in Titan’s atmosphere, the first time the chemical has been found in a world other than Earth. Cassini found small amounts of propylene, a chemical used to make storage containers and other products. Titan is among the few bodies in the solar system with a significant atmosphere made up of hydrocarbons.

Scientists discover evidence of ancient supervolcanoes on Mars similar to Yellowstone on Earth BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Scientists have discovered ancient supervolcanoes on Mars similar to the caldera that sits under Yellowstone National Park. Volcanoes previously have been spotted on Mars, which is known to have been volcanically active billions of years ago. What’s different about this supervolcano network is that it was found in the Martian northern highlands, a place not

known to be active in the past. Studying images from several spacecraft orbiting Mars, researchers at London’s Natural History Museum and NASA found at least one massive volcano and evidence for several others that spewed huge clouds of lava and ash. The finding described in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature suggests that early Mars was more active than previously realized, and that such eruptions could have affected the red planet’s climate and atmosphere.

Wipes clog sewer lines

BIKE STATION

BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer has been experiencing its share of the widespread problem of pre-moistened bathroom wipes wreaking havoc in sewer systems. The wipes are described as flushable but evidence is proving otherwise as sewer systems back up from New York to Vancouver and crews pull out large clogs, putting big holes in the pockets of some municipalities that see the problem over and over. The situation in Red Deer hasn’t been that drastic, said Geoff Stewardson, wastewater superintendent with the city. “We’re fortunate that Red Deer has enough grade to it that, through gravity, the wastewaters can make it to the plant for treatment,” he said. Stewardson noted there is one area in the community, at the corner of 40th Avenue and 22nd Street, where wastewater has to be pumped through a lift station to give it enough pressure to make it to the treatment plant. “It’s in that lift station that there are issues. Those pumps are not designed to push these wipes through them. They just clog. The impellers cannot rip through these things. It’s like, if you take a garbage bag, you can poke right though it but if you pull it, it starts to get stronger.

Plea brings drug trial to an end ONE ACCUSED PLEADS GUILTY BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF A drug trial that opened on Monday came to an abrupt end on Thursday when one of the two accused took a deal and pleaded guilty. Christopher Vanoverbeke, 31, pleaded guilty before Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Kirk Sisson to possessing marijuana for trafficking, possessing MDMA (ecstasy) for trafficking and possessing cash gained by crime. Crown prosecutor Dave Inglis then asked that all charges be withdrawn against co-accused Nigel Eatmon, 28. Both men were arrested in June 2011 by Red Deer City RCMP

conducting a drug investigation. Police witnesses testified that cash, drugs and other items were seized from a home, a garage and a storage locker in the course of the investigation. Among the goods seized were just under two kg of marijuana, just over two kg of MDMA, more than 2,700 ecstasy pills and about 28 grams of cocaine, some psilocybin (magic) mushrooms and about $4,800 in cash. “It was a veritable drug store that was going on in this situation,” Inglis said in classifying the operation as a wholesale drug business as opposed to a streetlevel enterprise. Estimated values of the drugs to which Vanoverbeke has admitted possessing would be determined by the level at which

they were being sold, said Inglis. The MDMA would be worth anywhere from $38,000 to $175,000 while the marijuana would range in value from $10,000 to $20,000, he said. Inglis said MDMA was still considered to be a lower level drug under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act at the time Vanoverbeke and Eatmon were arrested, but has since been elevated to Schedule 1, on par with harder drugs like cocaine. He therefore advised that the factors to be considered in sentencing should place the MDMA as a lower-level drug, on par with marijuana.

RED DEER PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT

Manning running on experience

Ordman tries for city, school district seats

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Bev Manning is counting on her experience as one of six current Red Deer Public School District board trustees looking for reelection this fall. “I’m not even tired of it.” Having served on the board for 18 years, the Bev Manning 56-year-old also works as a graphic designer. “The thing about education is there is always something new,” said Manning. “In order to keep up with the world, which is what education has to do, you have to keep evolving, changing and growing. There is never an opportunity to get complacent or bored.” She said one of the board’s challenges over the next four years will be accommodating the growing number of students. “Our facilities are full,” she said. “We have a little room on the north side, but the south side is pretty much full.” The new Ecole Barrie Wilson Elementary School, set to open in September 2014, will help. “It will help, but it will certainly not help for long,” said Manning. She said the board wants to work hard over the next four years at increasing community participation in education,

hoping to get input from an increased base of stakeholders. Over her six terms as a trustee, Manning said the board has had a good working relationship with teachers and the community that it serves to enhance student achievement. “When I became a trustee with Red Deer public, I inherited a legacy of excellence and good relationships,” said Manning. “Part of my job is to keep that going and build on it.” When she started on the board, she had children in the system. Now her three grown daughters are out of the Red Deer Public School District but she does have grandchildren who are now starting in the district. “It think it’s really important to have that connection,” said Manning. “I really love it. I really enjoy it. It has been one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life to be involved with the school district because not only have we had an opportunity to work with the community and grow children, but it has grown me as an individual.” Trustee candidates will be on the Oct. 21 municipal ballot along with city council and mayoral candidates. Other Red Deer Public School board candidates are Bill Christie, Shari Hanson, Kerri Kenworthy, Lianne Kruger, Dick Lemke, Dianne Macaulay, Ben Ordman, Cathy Peacocke, Kurt Spady, Bill Stuebing, Jim Watters, Milt Williams and Raymond Yaworski. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate. com

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Although he’s taking a shot at city council, Ben Ordman is doubling his chances at public office by also running for trustee with the Red Deer Public School District. T h e 46-year-old construction and restoration supervisor also has experience in education, working Ben Ordman as a special education classroom assistant for seven years, in age groups ranging from kindergarten to Grade 12. He also taught at a college for two years. “I have work experience that is relevant to the key goals of the public school board,” said Ordman. “Their key priorities are inclusion, literacy and school completion.” He touted his experience working with people who have learning challenges and how that would give him the tools to hit the ground running were he elected. “Canada has quite a high rate of functional illiteracy and that presents a challenge for people throughout their lifetime in progressing in job opportunities, participating in the community and achieving their goals,” said Ordman. Technology also plays a huge role in student’s education, said

Carolyn Martindale, City Editor, 403-314-4326 Fax 403-341-6560 E-mail editorial@reddeeradvocate.com

Ordman, and it has an impact on students more than any other generation socially and psychologically. “I think the school culture has changed and we’re seeing both the positives and negatives,” said Ordman. “One example of the positives is the access to information and the negatives are cyber-harassment and bullying.” Although he has no experience as a school board trustee, he has been the president of the neighbourhood watch, served on the taxi committee and served on the Red Deer College alumni association and athletic enhancement board. He has no children in the public school system but does have a nephew who just started kindergarten. “I think there are tremendous opportunities now in education because technology allows for the application of new teaching strategies,” said Ordman. “There are challenges and difficulties, but computers can enhance education. Schools have to incorporate a culture of mutual respect and civility.” Trustee candidates will be on the Oct. 21 municipal ballot along with city council and mayoral candidates. Other Red Deer Public School board candidates are Bill Christie, Shari Hanson, Kerri Kenworthy, Lianne Kruger, Dick Lemke, Dianne Macaulay, Bev Manning, Cathy Peacocke, Kurt Spady, Bill Stuebing, Jim Watters, Milt Williams and Raymond Yaworski. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate. com

Youth and Volunteer Centre Haunted House John Johnston moves The Tormentor into position in the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer Haunted House on Thursday. Work has begun on the 2013 Haunted House which is sure to provide plenty of thrills and chills for Red Deer residents this year. For two weeks prior to Halloween the Haunted House located again in the Lions Business Plaza at 7710 50 Avenue next to Peak Fitness will be open for anyone who dares to enter. This week volunteers from the Nova Chemicals Days of Caring Program have been on the site building walls and preparing the space for the group. Tormentor is sure to put the scare into just about everybody said Johnston. The Tormentor is a new addition to the animatronic line-up made possible through a donation $10,000 from Border Paving. The haunted House opens its doors this year on Friday October 19 and will run each night until Halloween.

Blue-green algae advisories have been lifted for four Central Alberta lakes. Cooler autumn weather has cooled water temperatures to the extent that blue-green algae is no longer a concern at Alix Lake, Haunted Lake, Pine Lake and Pigeon Lake. Alberta Health Services issued a toxic blue-green algae alert for a number of the lakes this summer. An advisory for Gull Lake was lifted by the end of August, but advisories remained in place for the others until now. Blue-green algae produces a poison

WIPES: Damage possible “These things are the same way.” The pumps — which can cost $30,000 to $35,000 each — can burn out as the motors continue to run despite the impellers being jammed. “Our guys know about the issue and they go there enough, at least weekly, to clean them out so we’ve been fortunate.” According to Stewardson, no damages that can be attributed directly to the wipes have occurred so far. “But they’re a contributing factor,” he said. “If it snags up on the line, everything else does, too.” Stewardson said his department has tested one type of the allegedly “septic system safe” wipes and they do not break down in water. “After being in water for over a day, that thing looked I’d say still about 98 per cent intact.”

Many of the wipes will float to the surface in the lift station and crews can skim them off. The pumps, nestled at the bottom of the tank, can mechanically rise up so crews can clean them fairly easily as well. However, any sticks, rocks or tree roots in the system act as “snags” for these wipes, causing buildups that could lead to larger problems, Stewardson said. It’s an issue the city has been noticing for the past four years. “At first we didn’t know what they were. We thought they were paper towels,” Stewardson said. As for a solution, he said educating the public is key. At the city’s annual Let’s Talk event, there was a section illustrating how these wipes don’t break down. The city also created a new What Not to Flush brochure to get the message out. “And if the collection guys really notice an area that the wipes are hanging up in the system, they can knock on certain residences’ door, drop off a brochure

or put a camera line in if there is a genuine concern about lines backing up or the city main being affected,” Stewardson said. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

TRIAL: Proceedings take turns Accepting a joint sentencing submission prepared by Inglis and defence counsel Lorne Goddard, Sisson ordered that Vanoverbeke serve a global sentence of three and a half years, with credit at par for the six months he has served in pre-trial custody. Released on bail three months after his initial arrest, Vanoverbeke was put back in remand earlier this year after breaching release conditions. Scheduled to take five days, the trial got off to a slow start on Monday when Eatmon’s lawyer, Kevin Sproule, discovered that investigators had not taken fingerprints from the bags of drugs that were to be admitted as evi-

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

Implant Supported Dentures Improve Confidence and Function Maybe I'm a pessimist but my grandparents had complete Dear Dr. D: dentures from the time they were 55 and half the time didn't even wear them. They both lived to a ripe old age. My teeth are beginning to break down as I near that age, and I think I could do a lot of travelling for the money I will have to invest to keep my teeth with dental implants. Why would I even consider implants when I can get a set of dentures for $2,000? A: You ask an interesting question. What makes you think you need implants or dentures for that matter? You state that your teeth are “beginning to break down”. You may yet have the foundation (bone and gum support) to provide function for the rest of your life without going to a solution that essentially makes you a dental cripple.

My second question to you is - why? Why live handicapped, not able to chew your food properly or not taste what you used to taste and wonder if everybody at the table can hear your dentures clunk. Why take out good teeth, have your natural bone dissolve away, never to return, only to find you're the owner of a sagging unsupported mouth? Finally, why find yourself with your hand over your mouth every time you laugh for fear that your lower plate may fly across the room?

Their collaboration with McMan’s Substance Abuse Programming for Youth provided hundreds of dollars towards this initiative.

The reason your grandparents did not wear their dentures full time was because they were unstable, ill fitting, and possibly causing them pain. You don't need teeth to stay alive; you're just more “alive” when you have a nice healthy set. Implanted teeth might not be for everybody but for the improved quality of life, increased confidence and peace of mind, they're worth every penny. It's a statement I hear every day. A preliminary screening costs you nothing, so why not visit us first then decide?

Thanks also to all who came to this fantastic event to support Justin and McMan Youth.

Together we can “Help Make it Happen!”

I invite you to visit Alpen Dental and see if implants are for you!

The answer to your implied question of living to a ripe old age without teeth, as did your grandparents, is possible. I've seen my share of “gummers”, growing up in a relatively blue collar community. A lady down the street from me passed away at 88 with only four lower teeth, broken off at the gum line, despite many neighbourly suggestions for her to use the government health plan to provide her with dentures.

Symptoms can include skin irritation, rash, sore throat, sore red eyes, swollen lips, fever, nausea and vomiting and/or diarrhea. Signs of toxicity in children are often more pronounced because they tend to spend more time in the water and are more likely to accidentally ingest it. Although weather and wind conditions can cause algae blooms to move from one location to another, the toxins can stay in the water

Red Deer Transit praised one of its drivers for his handling of a collision that sent an Action Bus into the side of a downtown four-plex last week. Transit manager George Penny said just before the collision with the building, the bus was hit by another vehicle that had gone through a red light at the intersection at 48th Avenue and 45th Street around 11:15 a.m. last Friday. The bus was tilted onto two wheels by the force of the impact. The driver managed to keep it from turning over but swerved into the nearby building. “He really did avoid any other kind of catastrophic type of accident,” he said. The male driver with 10 years of experience is still sore and has not returned to work. There were no passengers in the bus at the time of the collision. A basement suite damaged when the bus hit its window was also empty. A family of four lived there, but one son was in school and his parents and his one-year-old sister had left shortly before the incident to go to the mall. Penny said the bus is one of 14 Action Buses in the fleet. A backup bus has been used since the collision so service has not been affected. The city is still waiting to see if the bus can be repaired or will be a writeoff. Penny said the police gave the other driver a ticket, but he had no further details.

Hail damage eases

Jeff Giesbrecht’s business Tri-West Security has enjoyed rapid growth since he founded it in January

Tri-West Security eyes growth TWO LOCATIONS SINCE JANUARY, THIRD IN WORKS BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Jeff Giesbrecht has aspirations to develop a security firm with operations across Western Canada. If this sounds unrealistically ambitious, consider his performance to date. The 27-yearold started TriWest Security in Red Deer in January, built it up to a five-employee business, and several months ago opened a second office in Lethbridge — which now also employs five. Now he’s set his sights on Edmonton, where Giesbrecht hopes to open a third outlet within the next six months. He recalls Tri-West Security’s early days as a one-man operation. “I’d be out at 2 o’clock in the morning, 5 o’clock in the morning, just doing my own thing. Then basically within a month, I had three employees.” The business provides a broad range of security services, includ-

ing for oilfield, industrial, commercial and residential clients. It even performs private investigation work and conducts courses for aspiring security guards. “We actually administer the exams and also the training.” Giesbrecht said much of the demand for Tri-West Security’s services relates to its ability to conduct mobile and stationary patrols — especially in remote or secluded areas.

Giesbrecht relocated to Red Deer last August to perform regulatory work for a government agency. He had previously spent five years working with the Alberta sheriffs, as well as volunteering as a firefighter — which he continues to do for a Central Alberta municipality. Giesbrecht said he was motivated to start Tri-West Security because he felt there was a local niche for a firm that offered exceptional service and had staff trained beyond the basics. Being familiar with Lethbridge, he saw the same opportunity there. “I figured I’d just strike while the iron is hot down there and — JEFF GIESBRECHT OF TRI-WEST SECURITY make it happen.” He hopes to expand “You can’t beat having a secu- throughout Western Canada, startrity guard there on the spot,” he ing with Central and Southern Alsaid, listing construction compa- berta.

Profit-sharing outlook looks good The profit-sharing picture is looking pretty for members of Servus Credit Union. The Edmonton-based financial services co-operative reported on Thursday that its income for the first three quarters of 2013 is up 11.6 per cent. Servus, which operates on a Nov. 1 to Oct. 31 fiscal year, had income before patronage allocations and income taxes equal to $89 million for the nine months ended July 31. That compared with $79.7 million for the same period of 2012. Garth Warner, Servus’s president and CEO, attributed the improved numbers to loan growth

SERVUS and tight controls on expenses. “We expect this to continue for the rest of fiscal 2013 and we see ourselves being in a good position to pay profit share to our members.” Last year, Servus paid out $46.1 million to members through its profit-sharing program. Nine months into its 2013 year, Servus’s assets were up to $12.9 billion, as compared with $11.8 billion a year earlier. Member loans were at $11.4 billion, up from $10.4 billion; member deposits totalled $11.7 billion, an im-

provement from $10.7 billion; and the credit union’s total equity had cracked the $1 billion mark, up from $952.9 million. In the third quarter alone, Servus generated $24.6 million in income before patronage allocations and income taxes, a 13.4 per cent increase from $21.7 million for the same period of 2012. “Alberta’s economy has been stable and we have not yet had an impact on our business from the flooding earlier in the summer,” said Warner. Servus, which operates from more than 100 locations in 62 communities, has nearly 390,000 members.

A nasty start to the 2013 hail season gave way to clearer skies this summer. Brian Tainsh, manager of on-farm inspections with Agriculture Financial Services Corp. (AFSC), said Thursday that while Alberta crop hail claims for 2013 were still being processed, it appeared the numbers would be well below last year’s record figures. “We still had a very busy year, but since the first week in August the storms have tailed off, thankfully.” Tainsh said his office has received claims for hailstorms that occurred as recently as Oct. 1, but with harvest nearing completion the threat now appears to be at an end. “We’re going to end up around that 8,000-claim mark,” he predicted, contrasting this figure with the approximately 11,500 claims in 2012. The second-highest claims year of all time was 2008, which Tainsh expects to remain in the number 2 position. “2008 was still probably a little bit busier year than where we ended up. But this is going to be our third busiest year, without a doubt.” And 2013 could generate the second greatest payout total for hail damage, due to the fact commodity prices are higher than they were five years ago. In 2012, a record $450 million was paid out to Alberta producers. Next was 2008, when the tally topped $265 million. Tainsh said a large number of hailstorms rolled through Central Alberta this year, but the damage was not as severe as in 2012. “On the whole compared to last year, I would say this area got away a little easier than other years.” AFSC administers crop and hail insurance on behalf of the provincial government.

Application for Energy East Pipeline delayed BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SAINT JOHN, N.B. — TransCanada has delayed its goal of filing an application for its proposed Energy East Pipeline with the National Energy Board until next year, the company’s vice-president of eastern business development said Thursday. Steve Pohlod told an energy conference in Saint John, N.B., that there is too much work to do to be able to meet its initial goal of filing the application for the $12-billion project before the end of this year. “There is still work we have to do out in the field and environmental work that we still have to undertake,” he said. “There is work that is required as a result of the changes in scope and the changes in route that we are still contemplating.” The 4,500-kilometre Energy East Pipeline would ship up to 1.1 million barrels per day of oil from Alberta to refineries and export terminals in Quebec and New Brunswick. The proposal involves converting a portion of TransCanada’s underused natural gas mainline to oil service and building 1,400 kilometres of new pipeline to Saint John. The pipeline is one of two projects that have been proposed to move oil out of Western Canada. Enbridge (TSX:ENB) plans to spend $110 million to reverse its Line 9B to carry western crude to meet Quebec’s refining needs. The National Energy Board will conduct hearings on the proposal in October, with a decision expected in 2014. Both pipelines are needed to move oil from the West to the East. Alberta and New Brunswick are staunch supporters of Energy East but it’s not known whether other provinces — most notably Quebec — are behind it. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has expressed federal support for the development, which would help landlocked Alberta get its oil to more lucrative markets.

FORAGE AND GRASSLAND

Williams project to turn oilsands off-gas Olds to host conference into plastic feedstock near completion BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A project to turn oilsands off-gas into a feedstock for plastic producers — including Nova Chemicals Corp. — is almost ready for startup. The president of Williams Energy Canada said Thursday that mechanical work on the project, which involves modifications and expansions to its facilities in Fort McMurray and Redwater, is virtually done. In the next week and a half or so, Williams should be able to remove ethane from the mixture of gases that are a byproduct of the oilsands upgrading process, David

Chappell said. Ordinarily that gas would be burned as an energy source by oilsands producers, but Chappell said it’s more valuable to sell it to petrochemical companies that can turn it into plastic products. “At the end of the day, it’s getting more value from what we produce in Alberta and by getting more value, we’re getting more jobs and more tax revenue.” The gas will be collected at Williams’ facilities in Fort McMurray and then sent by pipeline to Redwater, northeast of Edmonton, where it will be separated. After that, Nova Chemicals will receive 17,000 barrels per day of ethane and ethylene at its Joffre

plant which will be used to make products such as plastic bags and bulk containers. Williams, headquartered in Oklahoma, has invested between $450 million and $500 million on the project over the last two years. Separately, Williams plans to spend up to $900 million to build a plant near Edmonton that would convert a different gas, propane, into a more valuable product used to make plastics. The propane dehydrogenation facility — the first in Canada to use this process, according to Williams — would make polymergrade propylene. That project is expected to be complete in 2016.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market racked up another round of losses Thursday, reflecting increased volatility arising from worries that the United States could be heading for a big economic shock later this month. The S&P/TSX composite index dropped 103.88 points to 12,735.12 and now has lost ground in three of the last four sessions, while the Canadian dollar was ahead 0.05 of a cent to 96.84 cents US amid widespread U.S. dollar weakness. The slide came as a partial U.S. government shutdown moved into a third day with no signs of an end, raising worries that the budget impasse over government funding will collide with the Oct. 17 deadline when the U.S. hits its debt limit. At that time, the government will start to run out of cash and could default on its debts. U.S. indexes also racked up losses as the U.S. Treasury Department warned Thursday that the economy could plunge into a downturn worse than the Great Recession five years ago if Congress fails to raise the federal borrowing limit and the country defaults on its debt obligations. The Treasury’s report says a default could cause the U.S. credit markets to freeze, the value of the dollar to plummet and U.S. interest rates to skyrocket. The Dow Jones industrials fell 136.66 points to 14,996.48, the Nasdaq was 40.68 points lower at 3,774.34 and the S&P 500 index gave back 15.21 points to 1,678.66. “It’s a really tricky situation and this could drag on a lot further,” said Gareth Watson, vice-president investment management and research, at Richardson GMP Ltd. “The way the right is spinning this shutdown right now is that it is just a mere shutdown of a few national parks, it’s not a big deal. And yeah, the first day is not a big deal, the second day is maybe more of a deal but not a big deal but once you get to the next week, I think tempers will start to flare.” Hopes had been high earlier in the week that Republicans and Democrats would come to a last-minute agreement prior to midnight Monday to avoid the shutdown, and then that the withdrawal of some services would be short-lived. At issue is the Affordable Health Care Act, or Obamacare, which the Republicans oppose. Republican House Speaker John Boehner has said that curbing the health-care overhaul that President Barack Obama pushed into law three years ago remains part of the price for ending the shutdown. Traders are concerned that price tag will also apply to raising the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, The New York Times reported that Boehner had told his party that he’s determined to prevent a federal default and is willing to pass a bill raising the debt limit with both Republican and Democratic votes. The metals and mining sector led decliners, down 2.62 per cent as December copper lost five cents to US$3.27 a pound. First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) ticked 76 cents lower to C$17.85. The tech sector also weighed on the TSX with BlackBerry (TSX:BB) down 30 cents, or 3.63 per cent, to $7.97. BlackBerry says its latest device will arrive in Canada later this month, but it won’t have the full sup-

port of Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B), which has decided not to stock the new device. The industrials group was down 0.8 per cent as Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) fell 98 cents to $128.78. Telecoms also weighed with BCE Inc. (TSX:BCE) down 41 cents to $43.51. The energy group was down 1.12 per cent as November crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange was down 79 cents to US$103.31 a barrel. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) lost 45 cents to C$31.78. The gold sector was off about 1.4 per cent as December bullion faded $3.10 to US$1,317.60 an ounce. Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX) was down 35 cents to C$18.67. In other corporate news, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. (TSX:VRX) was ahead $1.53 to $114.91 after it said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new Bausch + Lomb disposable contact lens sooner than expected. Bausch + Lomb was acquired by Valeant for about US$8.7 billion in August.

Rogers faces backlash after decision against stocking new BlackBerry Z30 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A decision to forgo the latest BlackBerry smartphone has wireless carrier Rogers defending itself against claims that it’s abandoning a longtime relationship with the struggling Canadian company. Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B), one of the country’s largest wireless carriers, faced an unexpected backlash on Thursday after what it called a “routine decision” to exclude the new BlackBerry Z30 touchscreen model from its lineup. Social media and message boards were flooded with comments from some customers who said they would consider cancelling their services with Rogers in protest. Rogers president Rob Bruce said he was surprised and perplexed by the reaction, but that the company wouldn’t change its decision. “Part of our success is choosing a portfolio of devices that’s a winning portfolio for our customers,” he said in an interview with The Canadian Press. “This is exactly the kind of decision that this was,” Bruce said, adding that the choice had been made several months ago. The reaction followed an announcement from BlackBerry (TSX:BB) on the release date of its Z30 touchscreen

model, which is roughly the size of a Samsung Galaxy 4. The list of wireless companies who would stock the device didn’t include Rogers, which was an early adopter of BlackBerry products. Rogers played a key role in the BlackBerry launch and hosted the Canadian debut of the new generation of phones at its headquarters in February, with BlackBerry chief executive Thorsten Heins and Rogers head Nadir Mohamed posing for photos together. The company’s decision to skip the new model quickly spread to Twitter and message boards where some customers vented their displeasure. “Is it time to leave Rogers?” asked a user with the Twitter name @M—L— Titan. “Shame on you Rogers for not carrying BlackBerry’s new Z30!” wrote @t—reaker. Other users found it more concerning for BlackBerry to lose one of its most enthusiastic supporters while trying to turn around its money-losing operations. BlackBerry says the BlackBerry Z30 will be stocked by other Canadian carriers such as Bell (TSX:BCE) and Telus (TSX:T) as well as retailers such as Best Buy and Future Shop. The phone will become available in Canada on Oct. 15, and prices will be set by the retailers.

WestJet’s increase in capacity outpaced passenger growth in September BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WestJet says it had a greater proportion of empty seats on its flights last month as increases in the airline’s capacity outpaced its growth in passengers. The airline said its load factor in September was 76.6 per cent, down from the record of 79.1 per cent a year ago, but in line with its five-year average for the month.

The decrease came as Calgary-based WestJet (TSX:WJA) increased capacity as measured by available seat miles by 9.2 per cent and passenger traffic as measured by revenue passenger miles increased by 5.7 per cent. “We are pleased with the strong traffic growth we saw in the third quarter, as we not only flew a record number of guests, but also achieved our third highest load factor for a third quarter,” stated WestJet President and CEO Gregg Saretsky.

TORONTO — Lisa Moore, Lynn Coady and Colin McAdam are among the finalists for this year’s $25,000 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. Moore, an esteemed St. John’s writer and Commonwealth Writers’ Prize winner who’s been up for several major literary awards in recent years, made the Writers’ Trust short list announced Monday with Caught (House of Anansi Press). The story of a potsmuggling jailbird is also on the long list for this year’s $50,000 Scotiabank Giller Prize. Meanwhile, Coady — a 2011 Giller finalist from Cape Breton, N.S. — is a Writers’ Trust contender with Hellgoing (House of Anansi Press). The short story collection is also up for this year’s Giller. And McAdam, also a former Giller finalist who has lived around the world and is now based in Toronto, is up for the Writers’ Trust fiction prize for A Beautiful Truth (Hamish Hamilton Canada). The story follows a couple and their chimpanzee. The short list is rounded out by Toronto native Cary Fagan for A Bird’s Eye (House of Anansi Press), a coming-of-age story set on his hometown in the 1930s. It also includes Krista Bridge of Toronto for The Eliot Girls (Douglas & McIntyre), about a teen adapting to life in a girls’ private school. Jury members Caroline Adderson, Alison Pick, and Miguel Syjuco read 115 books from 50 publishers to choose the five finalists, who will each receive $2,500. Pick said the jury saw a bumper crop of strong works and asked organizers if they could include more than the limit of five finalists, but alas they had to stick with the set number. “I feel like it was just a banner year for Canadian literature,” she said.

HOROSCOPE

ASTRO DOYNA

SUN SIGNS goods and may start questioning the allocation of your personal earnings into the right account. You want to get your money’s worth. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is one of your most significant weeks this year where you will have a new shift of direction in your life. The self- interrogation process should push you to stand up for yourself. It is through reconciliation and self-appreciation that you will find that inner peace. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lay low and take a rain check with your physical and spiritual energy. Self healing is necessary for the restoration of your soul and your heart. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Before you expect peace with others, be at peace with yourself first and foremost. SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

22-Dec. 21): A current team project will make you optimistic about the results. You don’t see the limiting factors involved here, you are actually quite forward-looking in regards to your future aspirations. An endeavour is in the works and this project keeps you motivated. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): You know you own that sought-after power and ambition to gain the recognition you need. Prove of your personal abilities and others will follow through your example. Trust in your own efforts. Don’t hesitate. Persevere assuredly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Celestial players will enlighten you towards selfexpansion. You will want to exceed your own limitations and see how far you can go in life. Your consciousness awakens, making you believe that there is absolutely nothing that you cannot do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Merged resources and shared money will come to the fore. Relationships’ roles need to be revised and you must find a balance involving other people’s money. Passion is strong, and yet, do not let your idealistic side overlook the financial aspect of your life. Astro Doyna is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist.

Friday, Oct. 4 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Dakota Johnson, 24; Liev Schreiber, 46; Christoph Waltz, 57 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Today, the Universe is bringing us a New Moon in the noble sign of Libra. This celestial happening allows us to expand our consciousness and self-awareness in terms of how much we give to others and what we expect to receive back. The art of negotiation and compromise is important in order to achieve fruitful results without wasting time or energy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: If today is your birthday, this will be one significant year for you. You may be involved in some kind of partnership. One-on-one relationships will ask you to be very patient this year and to foresee surprising new developments on the romance front. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your nearest and dearest one will come into focus this week. Lots of effort on your part is required in respect to all of your relationships and you might not get the results you had hoped for in the romantic sphere. Don’t get trapped by anything ambiguous. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may need to take on a different approach where your usual tasks are involved. Your wellbeing comes into focus this week. You may consider revising your daily routine. Everybody wants a piece of you, seeking for your assistance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will find yourself in a conundrum of self-questioning about a loved one in your life. There is an element of uncertainty and hesitation from your part which only keeps you second guessing about their initial intentions and true nature. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There will be ongoing discussions which will provoke you to exert some labour within your domestic life. You seek a pleasant atmosphere in your own cocoon, but you are pushed to work towards it more aggressively or more dramatically. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This week’s astral climate will send you on a voyage of intellectual inquiry. The usual assurance is not that accessible this time and you need to sound more convincing if you want to maintain other’s belief in you. Expose your assertiveness with no fear of judgement. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Financial planning may need some restructuring and some revision on your part. You may be pondering over some recently acquired

A case of mistaken identity BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS

There are these identical twins who are separated at birth . . . . The estranged brothers end up crossing paths as adults and are constantly mistaken for each other. Much mayhem ensues — leading to great hilarity and (hopefully) wild peels of audience laughter. Similar mixed-up identity plots have spun down through the centuries, fuelling story lines for such classic TV sitcoms as Gilligan’s Island and Bewitched. But it was actually Shakespeare who broadly popularized the standard farcical concept in The Comedy of Errors. And even Shakespeare’s version wasn’t the first. Jeff Page, who’s guest directing The Comedy of Errors for the Red Deer College Theatre Studies, believes the mixed-up twins device probably originated from those classical-era cut-ups — the Romans.

What: RDC Theatre Studies presents Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors When: 7:30 p.m., Oct. 10-19 (1 p.m. Saturday matinees) Where: RDC Arts Centre, Studio A Tickets: $21.25 ($19.95 students/seniors) from the Black Knight Ticket Centre It isn’t surprising that the Shakespearean farce that opens on Thursday at RDC’s Studio A, can still crack them up after all these centuries, said Page. He has an explanation: The audience watching The Comedy of Errors, like viewers of those Candid Camera-type prank shows, is in on the joke. They know more than the characters on stage, said Page, “and we enjoy watching their misfortune.

... The fun is that while we know what’s going on, we don’t know how all of this is going to resolve.” The Comedy of Errors production, staged by second-year students, starts off with a lot at stake: The merchant Egeon, of Syracuse, is arrested for being in the rival warring city of Ephesus. The punishment is death, but the humane Duke of Ephesus orders him to pay a large fine instead after being moved by Egeon’s tragic tale. The Duke hears that years ago, Egeon’s wife gave birth to twin sons. Egeon also purchased, as servants to his boys, the twin sons of a local slave woman. Both sets of twins were on a sea voyage with the merchant and his wife, Emilia, when a storm tore the ship apart. Only one of his sons and one of the slave infants ended up on dry land with Egeon. His other infant son and slave were with his wife, apparently carried away on another floating section of the broken ship.

Gravity keeps us gloriously lost in space ALFONSO CUARÓN’S SPECTACULAR SPACE ADVENTURE OPENS EYES — AND MINDS Gravity 3.5 stars (out of four) Rated: PG In Gravity, Alfonso Cuarón’s spectacular 3D space thriller, the miraculous is immediate and enveloping for those who open their eyes — and minds. High above the Earth, slowly revealed in widescreen splendor by Emmanuel Lubezki’s intoxicating camerawork, two spacewalking shuttle astronauts defy a vacuum and also expectations. Mission Commander Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), a NASA veteran making his last astral voyage, is overwhelmed by the view of the blue planet below. He’s seen it many times but still can’t get enough of it. PETER His colleague Dr. Ryan HOWELL Stone (Sandra Bullock), an engineer on her first shuttle mission, is too engrossed in her work to appreciate the scenery. She’s struggling to install a replacement part on the Hubble Telescope and also to hold down lunch — zero gravity doesn’t agree with her. Routine chatter out of Mission Control suddenly changes to an urgent warning, demanding common focus. A Russian satellite mishap has caused a chainreaction of orbiting destruction, knocking out communications links as it sends a wide swath of razorsharp debris towards the NASA shuttle and nearby International Space Station. As crisis turns to calamity for the astronauts, their slender link to Earth will become increasingly fraught, as they struggle to hold back the eternal chill and silence that surrounds them.

Mission Commander Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), a NASA veteran making his last astral voyage, is overwhelmed by the view of the blue planet below. He’s seen it many times but still can’t get enough of it. Not since 2001: A Space Odyssey has a film so vividly and realistically transmitted the feeling of being lost in the cosmos. Together Cuarón (Children of Men, Y Tu Mamá También) and his longtime collaborator Lubezki (who also works with Terrence Malick) make stellar use of advanced filmmaking technology. They capture the deepest blues of Earth and the midnight hues of space, powerfully affecting the senses with a 3D experience that is far above the norm. Make every effort to see Gravity on an IMAX

screen, for maximum impact. The film also connects on a purely emotional level, with Clooney and Bullock realistically depicting the plight of stranded astronauts facing dwindling oxygen and rescue prospects. The ear occasionally lets the eye down, but only a little. The dialogue co-scripted by Cuarón with his son Jonas yields to dull stereotypes and head-slapping idiocies.

NEW YORK — In the first episode of ABC’s new sitcom Super Fun Night, lawyer Kimmie Boubier (Rebel Wilson), pronounced BOOB-ier, gets a promotion and decides to celebrate with her two best friends in an unusual way. Instead of convening at Kimmie’s house and spending the evening indoors as they have every Friday night for years, the three socially awkward women decide to hit up a nightclub. The excursion does not go well: the bouncer refuses to let the not-cool-enough trio in, and Kimmie’s very tight bandage dress rips open to reveal her heart-emblazoned underwear and bra set to Richard (Kevin Bishop), the kindly colleague on whom she has a crush. Yet despite this fiasco, the indefatigable Kimmie resolves to try again: every Friday from then on, she declares, she and her friends will force themselves to go out and have a super fun night. I provide this synopsis because the above episode is not the one you will see this week, when the series premieres. Last week, ABC decided to swap the airdates of the pilot and the second episode, hoping that the latter would make a better first impression on viewers than the former. (The second episode has the virtue of being less cruel — Kimmie getting over her stage fright and singing karaoke vs. Kimmie being deemed too unattractive to enter a club — but the first has the virtue of explaining what the show is about.) It’s the sort of last-minute vote of no confidence that exposes the dysfunction of the fall TV season, when shows get rushed to air whether they’re ready for it or not. Super Fun Night has the distinct feel of being taken out of the network oven only half-baked. Wafting off of it is the very faint smell of a surreptitiously radical sitcom, one of the first to treat lady fat like man fat — that is to say, as funny, not as an affront — but it’s way underdone, a gloppy mish-mash of incomplete characterizations, uplifting messages and fat jokes. On network television, where Zooey Deschanel passes for idiosyncratic, Super Fun Night is not a natural fit. Wilson is best known to American audiences for playing Kristen Wiig’s strange roommate in Bridesmaids and Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect, two characters who only hint at the oddballs Wilson has played in Australia. (Check out clips from Bogan Pride, a show she wrote, if you want to see something it is absolutely impossible to imagine airing in the United States.) Kimmie is Wilson’s most normal character yet, a good-natured woman who is friendly in a socially awkward way. A good lawyer, Kimmie is easily flustered and physically spazzy: her clothes are always ripping off. But she wears her big heart not only on her undies, but also her sleeve, where everyone except the hateful, competitive, skinny women she keeps encountering at work recognize it and warm to her. What Kimmie’s judgmental female colleagues see instead of her heart is her size. As with many of Wilson’s creations, Kimmie’s weight is central to the character and her comedy. In a New York profile of Wilson, Conan O’Brien, who produces the show, said, “Rebel is revolutionary. Her weight is vastly overshadowed by her talent. It’s like the early Beatles — after the world heard the songs, no one cared about their haircuts.” O’Brien is trying to be nice, but his metaphor needs some work: Wilson’s weight is only like the Beatles’ haircuts if they sometimes used their haircuts as an instrument.

Rap stars embrace Cyrus NEW YORK — While Miley Cyrus has a batch of critics, there is a group rallying behind her and praising her as a vital talent: rappers. Pharrell produced several songs on Cyrus’ new album. She has been featured on the latest albums from Snoop Lion and will.i.am. Big Sean requested her as the star of his Fire music video. And to top it off, Kanye West invited her to appear on the remix to Black Skinhead, his anti-racism rant from his eerie and dark Yeezus album. Cyrus’ album Bangerz, out Tuesday, features guest spots from Big Sean, Nelly, Future and French Montana. In an interview, Juicy J called the 20-year-old “a genius.” 50 Cent, who hasn’t yet worked with her, added that Cyrus “can be on anything hip-hop orientated because (she’s) rebellious.” The idea of the former Hannah Montana star becoming a muse for rap stars seems odd to some, but Mike WiLL Made-It, who executive produced Bangerz, said the singer has struck a chord with rappers because she isn’t following in the footsteps of pop stars like Katy Perry but creating her own bold path. “People like Kanye are fans of music, people like Pharrell are fans of all types of music . . . . It all boils down to her being very talented and not scared to do new things,” said the producer, whose new single, 23,

STORY FROM PAGE D2

WILSON: Body integral to her comedy Wilson’s body is integral to her comedy, which includes a lot of partially clothed physicality and the need to beat everyone else to the fat joke. In Pitch Perfect, when Fat Amy was asked why she likes to go by “Fat Amy,” she replied, “So twig b----es like you don’t do it behind my back.” Episodes of Bogan Pride opened with three skinny women in bikinis singing and snorting in disgust at Wilson’s bathing suit-clad character. In a TV culture where audiences are used to stocky sitcom dads having hot sitcom wives, but Lena Dunham can’t plausibly make it with a dreamboat, Wilson has chosen to wrestle with her Spanx, show off her lingerie, and pick a cute Brit as her love interest from the very start. Like Melissa McCarthy, whose part in Bridesmaids Wilson auditioned for and whose CBS sitcom Mike & Molly is explicitly about weight issues, Wilson specializes in characters who project an implacable — maybe even unfounded — self-confidence that cannot be destabilized by the opinions of other, more “normal” observers. Unlike McCarthy, Wilson takes off her clothes a lot. What Wilson looks like naked is one of

STORIES FROM PAGE D1

THEATRE: Action will move along quickly

her go-to jokes. Wilson is not the first comedian to use her fat as a punch line, but she’s one of the few women to use it so utterly without fear and shame. Wilson doesn’t play Kimmie as dim — she’s an accomplished lawyer — but there is some Chris Farley in her DNA, a sweet puppy-dog temperament coupled with a willingness to undergo any indignity for a laugh. And as with Chris Farley, reasonable people can disagree about whether holding up one’s body as a punch line is hilarious or sad: no less than Chris Rock and Bob Odenkirk, comedians professionally inclined not to be outraged by anything, think Farley’s Chippendales routine for Saturday Night Live, where he sweatily stripped next to Patrick Swayze, was a tragedy. Of course, if that Chippendales routine makes you laugh, you might disagree. And this is the real big problem for Super Fun Night: it won’t make you laugh. As Wilson loses her clothes and sprints for cupcakes, is she making herself the butt of the joke or changing our understanding of how women can be funny? As she wrestles with her Spanx, is she exploiting herself or enlarging what is acceptable, or doing both? Those are great questions, but Super Fun Night cannot begin to answer them until it can make us giggle, maybe even against our will, at the Spanx, the nudity, the dialogue, the set-up, the characters. It’s hard to push the limits of comedy when your go-to joke is that main character has the word boob in her name.

BRIEF Current Swell brings catchy roots-rock to Bo’s Bar and Grill Sunday Current Swell will brings some catchy roots-rock tunes to Red Deer this weekend. The Victoria-based indie band plays at Bo’s Bar and Grill on Sunday night. Current Swell’s laid-back releases, Long Time Ago and Let it Go, contain some acoustic guitar and skainfused horns on diverse toe-tapping tracks that are loosely built around the “no rules” theme. A new release from the band is expected in 2014. The group, made up of Scott Stanton, Dave Long, Ghosty and Chris Petersen, has toured North America and Europe, and also played in Brazil and Australia. Current Swell has shared stages with Bedouin Soundclash, K-OS, K’Naan, Ron Sexsmith and the Beach Boys. Last spring, the band played at the Byron Bay Bluesfest in Australia that also featured Iggy Pop, Paul Simon, Wilco, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant and Santana. For more information about the Red Deer show, call 403-309-2200.

Sick Alberta woman who got special visit with singing star Bieber dies EDMONTON — A young Alberta woman who got a visit with pop star Justin Bieber last year has died. The family of 19-year-old Crystal Montgomery announced her death on Facebook. A campaign on Twitter last fall convinced Bieber to see the sick woman. He quietly visited Montgomery at Edmonton’s Cross Cancer Clinic before heading to his sold-out concert at Rexall Place. He then tweeted a photo of them both smiling from her hospital room. Montgomery’s mother, Rita, says on Facebook that her beautiful girl is now free of pain. “We will forever love her and never forget her,” she said Thursday. “Crystal, you are going to be the most happiest angel.”

Sinead O’Connor to Miley Cyrus: Don’t be sexually exploited LONDON — Irish chanteuse Sinead O’Connor has waded into the Miley Cyrus controversy, warning the young singer to avoid being sexually exploited by the music industry. O’Connor posted an open letter to Cyrus on Thursday after Cyrus told journalists she had modeled her Wrecking Ball video on O’Connor’s famous Nothing Compares 2 U.

Page said he’s not a purist when it comes to staging Shakespeare — the action will move along quickly, and the play will take place in the Mad Men era of the early 1960s. He explained that he wanted a time period when women were getting tired of being treated like second-class citizens. Also, he said he needed the plot to unfold in the newspaper era, since there are a lot of references to slaves being beaten in the play, and Page loves the sound of a rolled-up newspaper smacking someone over the head. “Whacking people with newspapers makes a lot of noise and doesn’t hurt too much,” he added, so this automatically lends itself to broad comedy. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

features Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J. “Her voice is incredible. It’s one of a kind . . . no limitations,” added Mike WiLL Made-It, who is behind hits like Juicy J’s Bandz a Make Her Dance and Rihanna’s Pour It Up. Others aren’t sure if talent is the reason behind it. “Whether you’re a Miley fan or not, she is the girl of the moment,” said Cori Murray, entertainment director at Essence magazine. “Business is business. They’re in the music business; she’s the girl of the moment, so why not get on record with the girl of the moment? That’s as basic as it’s going to get.” Cyrus, who will host and perform on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this week, has been the girl of the moment for months now. It started with her transformation from teen queen to twerk queen, rising with her edgy We Can’t Stop party-style music video. Of course, she hit new heights (or to some, new depths) with her eye-popping, sexually charged MTV Video Music Awards performance in August. It featured the scantily dressed singer twerking, gyrating on Robin Thicke and sticking out her tongue. The wild child antics — from being nude in the music video for her first No. 1 hit, Wrecking Ball, to her embrace of drug culture in a recent Rolling Stone interview — have made headlines. But her VMA performance and twerking with black female dancers caused another stir, with many questioning if Cyrus is wrongfully appropriating black culture as a path to success.

CARLSON On Saturday September 28, 2013 Harold Edward Carlson 86, passed on into God’s graces. Born and raised in Delburne, Alberta to Thorne and Mildred Carlson and middle bother to Hubert, Audrey and Marion. Never straying too far from home but learning a world of experience in the rural community, Harold would venture to the Community of Great Bend where there he would meet the love of his life Julia. The two would be wed and share 50 years of happiness and joy with their love of music, family, friends and travel. Harold being the practical and resourceful man would bestow these virtues and traits to his three sons; Lawrence, Norris and Morgan. Whether it be playing music for all, tinkering and fixing or passing along wisdom, Harold always had a kind heart, blithe demeanor and heartwarming smile. Though Harold will be missed we can take solace in his return to Julia and the warmth of God’s embrace. Gone, but never forgotten. In memorian service will be held at the Alto Reste Cemetery at 1:00 pm on Monday, October 7, 2013 and tea to follow at the Springfield Crossing Club House, 11 Jenkins Drive, Red Deer, Alberta.

SNOWBIRDS

NEW ORLEANS — From a tiny, vulnerable island off the Louisiana coast to the beaches of the Florida Panhandle, Gulf Coast residents prepared Thursday for a possible hit from Tropical Storm Karen, which threatened to become the first named tropical system to menace the United States this year. Karen was forecast to lash the northern Gulf Coast over the weekend as a weak hurricane or tropical storm. A hurricane watch was in effect from Grand Isle, La., to west of Destin, Fla. A tropical storm warning was issued for the Louisiana coast from Grand Isle to the mouth of the Pearl River, including the New Orleans area. In Alabama, safety workers hoisted double red flags at Gulf Shores because of treacherous rip currents ahead of the storm. In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant declared a state of emergency, urging residents to prepare. State Emergency Management Agency Director Robert Latham said local schools will decide whether to play football games. He said the southern part of the state could have tropical stormforce winds by late Friday. “I know that Friday night football in the South is a big thing, but I don’t think anybody wants to risk a life because of the potential winds,” Latham said. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal also declared a state of emergency, citing the possibility of high winds, heavy rain and tides. Florida Gov. Rick Scott also declared an emergency for 18 counties. The Army Corps of Engineers said it was closing a structure intended to keep storm surge out of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal in Louisiana — known locally as the Industrial Canal — where levee breaches during Hurricane Katrina led to catastrophic flooding in 2005. Mayor David Camardelle of Grand Isle, La., an inhabited barrier island and tourist town about 60 miles south of New Orleans, called for voluntary evacuations as he declared an emergency

A kite boarder takes advantage of high winds on Thursday, in Gulfport, Miss. Preparations are underway along the Mississippi Gulf Coast as Tropical Storm Karen moves through the Gulf of Mexico. Thursday afternoon. Louisiana officials were taking precautions while noting that forecasts show the storm veering to the east. The storm track had it likely brushing the southeastern tip of the state before heading toward the Alabama-Florida coast. And it was moving faster than last year’s Hurricane Isaac, a weak storm that stalled over the area and caused widespread flooding. “It should make that fork right and move out very, very quickly,” said Jerry Sneed, head of New Orleans’ emergency preparedness office. Offshore, at least two oil companies said they were evacuating non-essential personnel and securing rigs and platforms. In Washington, the White House said the Federal Emergency Management Agency was recalling some workers furloughed due to the government shutdown to prepare for the storm.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama was being updated about the storm. He said Obama directed his team to ensure staffing and resources are available to respond to the storm. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been furloughed under the partial government shutdown. It’s unclear how many FEMA workers are being brought back. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Karen was about 360 miles (579 kilometres) south of the mouth of the Mississippi River Thursday evening and had maximum sustained winds of 65 mph (100 kph) with higher gusts. The storm was moving northnorthwest at 12 mph (19 kph). It could be at or near hurricane strength late Friday and early Saturday, forecasters said, with the centre near the coast on Saturday.

In Mexico’s Caribbean coast state of Quintana, the brief passage of Karen before the storm moved north caused authorities to close seaports and some schools, but little rain was actually reported. A few fishing camps and small hamlets along the coast were ordered evacuated late Wednesday, and some boat services were suspended for the estimated 35,000 tourists currently in Cancun. But the head of the Cancun Hotel Association, Roberto Cintron, said tourists appeared to be taking it in stride. While meteorologists said it was too soon to predict the storm’s ultimate intensity, they said it could weaken a bit as it approaches the coast over the weekend. “Our forecast calls for it to be right around the border of a hurricane and a tropical storm,” said David Zelinsky, a hurricane centre meteorologist.

U.S. scientists exploring underwater faults, volcanoes USING DATA TO HELP MANAGE NATURAL DISASTERS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The man whose research team discovered the Titanic shipwreck is now leading a mission to investigate major faults and underwater volcanoes in the northern and eastern Caribbean to collect information that could help manage natural disasters. Robert Ballard is overseeing 31 scientists who will set out Friday using remotely operated vehicles to explore the Septentrional and other faults and underwater formations around Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the eastern Caribbean islands of Dominica and Montserrat. The Septentrional fault lies along the border of the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates. “It’s a pretty serious thing we’re looking at ... The Puerto Rico trench can generate very large and powerful earthquakes,” Ballard

told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Connecticut. The first part of the expedition will focus on Puerto Rico’s north coast, where an October 1918 earthquake of magnitude 7.2 killed 116 people and unleashed a tsunami. The researchers will explore an underwater landslide that they believe triggered the tsunami with 20-foot (6-meter) waves. They also will use the vehicles to dive the Mona Rift that plunges to depths of 13,000 feet (4,000 metres) and analyze several faults, including the Septentrional, which ends in what scientists say is an unusual circular depression not seen in any other major strikeslip fault in the world. “I’ve never seen something that ends so strangely,” said Uri ten Brink, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey who is participating in the mission. “It’s a little hole in the ground.” Ten Brink said it’s the first time scientists

will explore a portion of the Septentrional fault up close. “We really don’t know what’s down there in terms of how the fault looks,” he said. The information collected will help seismologists understand what’s happening along those faults and help them manage future natural disasters, said Dwight Coleman, oceanographer and leader of the expedition focusing on Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Scientists also will study the organisms and seafloor of the Mona Passage, which lies between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic and is one of several spots where Atlantic waters circulate into the Caribbean, becoming warmer and saltier. The 211-foot (64-meter) exploration vessel, the Nautilus, will then travel to the neighbouring U.S. Virgin Islands to try to pinpoint the origin of an October 1867 earthquake of magnitude 7.5 that unleashed tsunamis that struck St. Thomas and St. Croix.
