Superstore workers begin strike BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Employees at the Red Deer Superstore joined 8,500 workers across the province and picketed outside of their stores. The United Food and Commercial
Workers Union, who represent Superstore employees gave strike notice to their employer, Loblaw, on Sept. 26. David Smith, picket captain, was registering members for the picket early Sunday morning in the Red Deer Superstore parking lot. “Nobody wants a strike, the members didn’t want it to come to this and I don’t think the company really want-
ed this either,” said Smith. “But they stonewalled at bargaining for almost a year and waited until the last minute to try to put together a deal.” He said the mood has been good among workers at the picket. Central to the issue for the employees are hours, and some workers are afraid their hours may be cut significantly under a new deal.
“Sadly, it’s where we’ve expected to be based on the company,” said Christine McMeckan, UFCW Local 401 communication representative. “Superstore is still not meeting the needs of its workers and addressing the critical hours issue and so we had no choice but to go on strike.”

Code goes out of this world SOFTWARE DEVELOPER’S WORK GOES ALOFT IN CANADIAN SATELLITE BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Photos by THE CANADIAN PRESS and THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Six years ago, a now-Red Deer resident and software was hard at work, writing computer code for the recently-launched Canadian satellite Cassiope. Arthur Crozier, who now works for Alberta Health Services in Red Deer, was one of seven software developers who worked on the satellite that was launched into space on Sept. 29. For two and a half years he worked with a team at Magellan Aerospace in Winnipeg. The satellite was being developed alongside the rocket that would send it into space, but the work on the satellite wrapped up before the rocket was done, leaving six years to wait for Cassiope to enter orbit.
The satellite CASSIOPE is shown in an artist’s rendering. The Aurora Borealis, those beams of light that dance across the northern sky may look pretty, but a Canadian satellite is about to study a nasty side lurking behind that beauty. The small hybrid satellite, with a multi-purpose mission, blasted off on Sunday, right, from Vandenberg in California on board a Falcon 9 rocket developed by SpaceX, a commercial space company. “It was fabulous to work with space engineers at Magellan as well as working with the Canadian Space Agency engineers and scientists,” said Crozier. “It was very rewarding because you were dealing with people who have a common goal and they really have a passion about what they do.”
He said they make sure every part of the development of the satellite is documented and tested repeatedly. Cassiope’s main goal is to focus on the interaction between the ionosphere and the sun.

CIBC RUN FOR THE CURE
Cancer survivor talks the talk, walks the walk BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Last year, just three weeks removed from her last round of chemotherapy, cancer survivor Kim Rideout couldn’t make it very far in the Run for the Cure. But now, a year later, she was resolved to complete the five kilometres that other participants did. Rideout spoke before the 13th annual CIBC Run for the Cure in Red Deer. About 1,300 people and at least 85 teams took to the fields at Lindsay Thurber High School to participate in the run Sunday. “I swore last year that I would be back here this year and I’d walk the whole five kilometres,” said Rideout. “We’re going to do it together.” Joined by family and friends Rideout said they were her support network and helped her get through treatment. “No one wants to hear the words breast cancer,” said Rideout. “But when you do, you’re forced to dig deep and find a strength you

didn’t know you had before it happened. “I will be eternally grateful for the love, support and courage I received on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. “I am blessed to be surrounded by the most amazing support network any woman could ever want or need.” Last year, the Run for the Cure raised about $289,000 in Red Deer. “We’re alive because of those fundraising dollars,” said Rideout. Run co-directors Lois Moreau and Nelda Robertson said they first heard Rideout speak at the survivor tea and wanted to bring her to the Run for the Cure to be the survivor to speak. “She contacted us (to speak) through the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation,” said Moreau. “She was more than happy to speak. I think she has a really great story, she’s looking to help others.” In 2012, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation raised about $30 million from across the country for breast cancer research, education and awareness. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

SUPERSTORE: Union hopeful public understands Late last week, the Alberta Federation of Labour said it is actively encouraging its members not to shop at Superstore until a fair agreement has been reached. “We’re very hopeful the public will understand,” said McMeckan. “Superstore employees know this is going to be an inconvenience for the public. Customers understand, they know how badly retail workers are often treated and Superstore workers are no exception.” In an email, Julija Hunter, Loblaw vice-president of public relations, said the company feels they are making progress at the bargaining table and continue to bargain in good faith. “We are hopeful of reaching a settlement in the near future that reflects a sustainable business
model needed to support our colleagues and serve our customers,” said the email. Hunter said Superstore locations will remain open and they regret this situation has caused our customers and want to assure everyone that their colleagues are committed to excellent customer service during this time. “We respect the union’s right to demonstrate and we hope they are respectful and peaceful in their approach.” McMeckan said the two sides were bargaining today. Hunter said Loblaw has reached tentative agreements with UFCW locals in Saskatchewan on Sept. 26 and in Manitoba on Oct. 3. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

his co-workers. Their attention to detail is required because of the scale of the project. “Once the satellite is in space you don’t have the option to go fix it,” said Crozier. Crozier’s part in the Cassiope satellite was the programming of the software related to the interface between eight of the nine instruments on the satellite and the satellite proper. Being so far removed from working on the project, Crozier hadn’t even realized the satellite had gone up. “I just happened to surf the web and came across it by accident,” said Crozier, adding while he didn’t watch the launch live he went back and watched the footage of it. “I did one part of a whole system. I’m just hoping my stuff works great, everything works great and that the science it generates will be a benefit for everyone.” His background is in electronic technology, aircraft mechanics and software development. In the past he has worked in the aerospace industry and this fusion of aerospace and software programming made for a happy fit. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Police search for leads on cat cruelty north of Toronto THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Police will be back out knocking on doors on today in a community just northeast of Toronto to try to get some leads on the discovery of some severed cat heads. Investigators with York Regional Police spent Sunday canvassing residents in the town of Whitchurch-Stouffville to see if anybody spotted something suspicious. Detective Scott Hunter says investigators are asking residents if they remember seeing anything unusual in the weeks since the first severed head was discovered Aug. 12. Police say that since then other severed heads of cats have been found in a number of separate discoveries.
In one case, a head and two legs were discovered near a daycare centre. Police don’t know why the felines were dismembered, but investigators believe someone is acting intentionally. The matter was brought to their attention by municipal bylaw officers, Hunter said. “When they started seeing heads displayed prominently along a roadway, things started to add up and it just wasn’t looking right,” Hunter said. Police have said the heads were all placed within a one-kilometre area of residential neighbourhoods. Pet owners are being urged not to leave their animals unattended outdoors.

People with disabilities are still discouraged from parenthood
RANCH POLISH UP
RESEARCHERS STUDY SIMILARITIES, DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ALBERTA’S EUGENIC PERIOD AND PRESENT DAY BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Eugenics may no longer be legal, but informal practices to discourage people with disabilities from becoming parents exist, a University of Lethbridge researcher says. Claudia Malacrida wants to explore the similarities and differences between Alberta’s eugenic period and the pressures the disabled face now. Under the Alberta Sexual Sterilization Act (1928-1972), some 2,800 people — most of them women — were involuntarily sterilized under the mistaken belief that problems like poverty and disability could be prevented through selective breeding. Malacrida and her team want to interview women who were affected by the eugenics policy as well as younger women with a broad range of disabilities in the Red Deer area for her fiveyear project, Eugenics to Newgenics in Alberta: Historical continuities and differences. Researchers want to talk to women with all types of disabilities, physical and intellectual, about their experiences, challenges and successes in achieving relationships, sexual rights and parenthood. They also want to talk to family members and people who work with the disabled. So far they have interviewed 30 people with a range of disabilities — developmental disabilities, mental health problems, fetal alcohol syndrome, paraplegia and deafness. Malacrida said she’s heard a lot of commonalities in their stories. For example, whether they were considered appropriate for sexual education. “Some women have talked about being put on birth control as soon as they started their periods. In informal kinds of ways, they’re sort of headed off at the pass,” Malacrida said. Women have spoken about the lack of services available to them as mothers, something they see as a hidden message that disabled women should not be having children.
Malacrida sees similarities between the historical and current ways of responding to disability, sexuality and reproduction. For example, during the eugenics period, the disabled were housed in institutions and segregated by sex, which were informal ways of ensuring eugenic outcomes. Today, the disabled can face similar restrictions on their access to relationships in group homes, or even in their own homes. Malacrida said when it comes to social issues that can impact parenting, there’s got to be other solutions than “let’s just make sure you don’t have any children.” She said groups like the Alberta Association for Community Living provide informal and formal support to people with developmental disabilities who have children. “That can be in the form of mentoring families in the neighbourhood. It can be in the form of helping people to write their application for AISH and help them find part-time work to keep them out of the poverty trap.” Malacrida said without the necessary support, many of the disabled with children just try to make do, which can compromise their own health or make it difficult for them to be great parents. “Lots has been done in the U.K. and Australia. They’re pretty much light years ahead. In Canada, one of problems is that everything along those lines is mandated provincially so there isn’t a national research program that would look at these questions.” The research project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, has received ethical approval through the University of Lethbridge, and all information will be treated anonymously and confidential. To set up an interview in October or November in Red Deer, contact project co-ordinator Gillian Ayers at 403332-4591 or by email at gillian.ayers2@ uleth.ca. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Redford explores new funding models for roads, buildings ‘WHAT ELSE MAKES SENSE IN TERMS OF COST EFFECTIVENESS, ACCOUNTABILITY TO TAXPAYERS, AND BEING ABLE TO DELIVER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS SOONER?’ — ALBERTA PREMIER ALISON REDFORD
build a wellness centre that is attached to the school for young kids (aged) K-9. “That’s the kind of thing we want to talk about,” said Horner. Horner has also raised toll roads as another possible revenue producer. “We may or we may not go there, but let’s talk about it,” he said, adding that tolls would not be tacked on to existing roads. “I’m not talking about (tolls on) the stuff that’s already in the ground and already there. That’s something we’ve already amortized. “We’ve already figured out how we’re going to do that.”
Under a P3, a government signs a contract with a private operator for that operator to design, build, and perhaps maintain or run a project over a set period of time. The private operator puts up some or all of the cash and is repaid by the government, with interest, after a set number of years. Alberta has used it to build schools to keep pace with tens of thousands of newcomers each year, numbers that have now pushed the population to four million. It also funds roads, such as the northeast leg of Edmonton’s Anthony Henday Drive.
That $1.8-billion project is to open in 2016, with the money repaid over the following three decades. Opposition Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith and NDP Leader Brian Mason, who attended the summit as observers, said P3s are no solution. Smith said the studies she has seen indicate P3s look good on a government over the short-term because there’s less debt on the books. But she said the projects ultimately cost taxpayers more in the long run because the financing costs are stretched out for years. “This government is
trying to find all kinds of ways to justify new borrowing,” said Smith. “They’re talking about P3s. They’re now talking about toll roads. They mention social impact bonds.” “They have absolutely no plan to get the budget back into balance. They are overspending in multiple areas and it’s causing them to have to go into deeper and deeper debt. “I think that’s a terrible thing for future generations.” Smith said the summit is billed as a free exchange of ideas, but is actually a forum for Redford to build public support for more infrastructure debt on top of the $17 billion in red ink already budgeted for by the province by the end of 2016. NDP Leader Brian Mason said Redford is scrambling to find more cash because her government refuses to fix its broken financial model. Mason said the prov-
ince does not get a fair share of oil royalties, forcing it to budget a third of day-to-day spending on the rollercoaster vagaries of oil prices. He said Redford has also failed to rectify income tax cuts to wealthy individuals and corporations imposed under former premier Ralph Klein. Like Smith, Mason said P3s are short-term gain for long-term pain. “P3s is an entirely bogus concept. Privatesector investors borrow money at a higher rate, plus they earn a profit — and all of that is eventually paid back by the taxpayer,” said Mason. The summit follows up on one held in Calgary in February. They are designed to give the government input on budget priorities. The province is also launching open houses next week and seeking online feedback from citizens on spending and saving.

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Alison Redford says she wants to explore new ways of paying for infrastructure projects on a cost-shared basis with the private sector. The so-called P3 public-private partnership model has worked so well to date — on projects like schools and roads — it may work for other initiatives as well, Redford said Saturday. “How do we challenge conventional thinking from an Alberta perspective on what else we could use P3 models for?” Redford rhetorically asked reporters at the province’s second economic summit, held at the University of Alberta. “What else makes sense in terms of cost effectiveness, accountability to taxpayers, and being able to deliver infrastructure projects sooner?” Academics, politicians, and business leaders hashed out ideas on how to raise money for infrastructure projects and where to invest Alberta’s savings. Finance Minister Doug Horner said the government is looking at “a whole raft of options when we talk about the next big infrastructure piece.” Horner said, for example, a new school in his riding of Spruce GroveSturgeon-St. Albert will see a partnership with the school board, the YMCA and possibly the developer. “It’s a combination of P3, the capital infrastructure we used to build the school, and the community coming together to

Murky water of sex rights LEGISLATION PROTECTS HOMOSEXUALS WITH THE WRONG RIGHT Despite downward trends in Canada for most crime rates, crimes against children are increasing, as are hate crimes against homosexuals. These disturbing facts trace to a flaw in our human rights system. In 2011, sexual violations against children rose by three per cent; luring a child over the Internet rose 10 per cent; and child pornography increased 40 per cent. Hate DAVID crimes against BAUGH homosexuals increased from 71 in 2007 to 188 in 2009 and by 10 per cent in 2011. When governments off-loaded to courts the politically charged issue of how to protect homosexuals from discrimination, courts invented “sexual orientation” as a right. Political cowardice was followed by a category error; instead of creating a new right with problems, it would have been better if a listed wording in the Charter of Rights had been used. The objective in naming sexual orientation a human right is to say homosexuality is equal to heterosexuality; all sexual orientations became equal
INSIGHT
just as all ethnicities and colours are equal. “Sexual diversity” is celebrated as multiculturalism. Courts never defined sexual orientation. Literally, “orientation” means “direction towards;” sexual orientation is the direction of one’s sexual interests. It may be temporary — situational homosexuality appears in prisons without available members of opposite sex — or a more ingrained personality trait. The first problem is some sexual orientations are crimes. Pedophilia (adult sexual interest in children) is a sexual orientation. Ingrained personality patterns in sex crimes mean repeat offenders. Were courts to say sexual orientation excludes pedophilia, rape and other sex crimes, they would be denying facts and twisting words. Instead they stay quiet, and leave the doubletalk to governments. When Russia passed a law banning homosexual “propaganda,” Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird condemned that as “hateful.” He added: “Canada is against criminalization of sexual minorities.” Either that’s diversity propaganda or a call to legalize pedophilia. A second problem with claiming sexual orientations are equal is that proven elevated physiological risks with homosexuality are overlooked. Lesbians exhibit increased incidences of obesity, cardio-vascular disease and some cancers compared to heterosexu-
al women (U.S. Department of Health). Added health risks for male homosexual conduct compared to heterosexual are too numerous to list here. A third problem with naming sexual orientation a right is the difficulty distinguishing a deeply ingrained personality trait from situational searches for sexual gratification by whatever the available means. Quests for stimulation for jaded tastes, such as viewing child pornography, are indirectly encouraged. Criminal law prohibits pedophilia, but rights talk technically includes it, and what’s law today may not be tomorrow. Rights talk is trump. For example, marriage used to mean the union of one male and one female into the two, who become one flesh (Aristotle, Christ). Now it includes same-sex practices with elevated health risks compared to heterosexuals. A fourth problem is sexual orientation is a rights banner for continuing sexual freedom revolutions. An Ontario example falls short of endorsing pedophilia, but not of pressures to extend boundaries. A former deputy minister of Education, Benjamin Levin, is charged with child pornography (allegations not yet tested in court). He worked for an openly homosexual minister of Education, who’s now premier, when a sex education curriculum was developed starting at Grade 1. By Grade 7, homosexual acts are described and endorsed; extra health risks are down-
played. The courses are on hold after public outcry. Dishonesty by governments and courts has not reduced hate crimes or increased child safety. Truth-telling that educates about homosexuality can reduce violence by spreading understanding, and build confidence in rule of law. Due to elevated health risks, homosexuals should be protected under the listed Charter category of Disability. That also applies to gender dysphoria (gender confusion or distress), also with added health-care needs. Private acts, if between consenting adults, should be protected not because sexual diversity benefits society but because homosexuals are human beings who benefit society in many ways, and basic dignity is for all. This approach abandons troubling words that increase risks to children. Deeply ingrained homosexual conduct for some, which they can’t change despite elevated health risks, calls for compassion in a way pride marches do not; that recognition is likely to diminish violence. The extra health needs some have will also receive more care and attention when we no longer prop up the make-believe these don’t exist. However, politicians will only find courage to fix a flawed rights category if public opinion demands it.

Action on climate change is critical: report The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change just released the first of four chapters of its Fifth Assessment Report. It shows scientists are more certain now than in 2007 when the Fourth Assessment was released that humans are largely responsible for global warming —mainly by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests — and that it’s getting worse and poses a serious threat to humanity. It contains hints of optimism, though, and shows addressing the problem creates opportunities. The IPCC was set up in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and UN Environment Programme at the request of member governDAVID ments. For the recent study, SUZUKI hundreds of scientists and experts worldwide combed through the latest peer-reviewed scientific literature and other relevant materials to assess “the state of scientific, technical and socio-economic knowledge on climate change, its causes, potential impacts and response strategies.” Scientists are cautious. That’s the nature of science; information changes, and it’s difficult to account for all interrelated factors in any phenomenon, especially one as complicated as global climate. When they say something is “extremely likely” or 95 per cent certain — as the latest report does regarding human contributions to climate change — that’s as close to certainty as science usually gets.

dence for climate change itself is “unequivocal.” According to the latest installment, which cites 9,200 scientific publications in 2,200 pages, “It is extremely likely that human activities caused more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010.” It also concludes oceans have warmed, snow and ice have diminished, sea levels have risen and extreme weather events have become more common. The report also dismisses the notion, spread by climate change deniers, that global warming has stopped. It has slowed slightly in recent years, scientists say, because of natural weather variations and other possible factors, including increases in volcanic ash, changes in solar cycles and, as a new scientific study suggests, oceans absorbing more heat. An increase in global average temperatures greater than 2C above pre-industrial levels would result in further melting of glaciers and Arctic ice, continued rising sea levels, more frequent and extreme weather events, difficulties for global agriculture and changes in plant and animal life, including extinctions. The report says we’ll likely exceed that threshold this century unless we choose to act. This means a strong, concerted global effort to combat climate change is necessary to protect the health of our economies, communities, children and future. That will cost us, but far less than doing nothing. Although governments of almost 200 countries agreed global average temperature increases must be kept below 2C to avoid catastrophic warming, we are on track for the “worst case scenario” outlined by the first assessment report in 1990. Research indicates it’s possible to limit warming below that

threshold if far-reaching action is taken. We can’t let skeptics sidetrack us with distortions and cherrypicking aimed at creating the illusion the science is still not in. The reasons to act go beyond averting the worst impacts of climate change. Fossil fuels are an incredibly valuable resource that can be used for making everything from medical supplies to computer keyboards. Wastefully burning them to propel solo drivers in cars and SUVs will ensure we run out sooner rather than later. Working with other nations to meet science-based targets to cut global warming pollution and create clean, renewable energy solutions would allow us to use our remaining fossil fuel reserves more wisely and create lasting jobs and economic opportunities. That’s why the David Suzuki Foundation is working with the Trottier Energy Futures Project to identify clean-energy opportunities for Canada. Shifting to cleaner energy sources would also reduce pollution and the environmental damage that comes with extracting coal, oil and gas. That would improve the health of people, communities and ecosystems, and reduce both health-care costs and dollars spent replacing services nature already provides with expensive infrastructure. The IPCC report gathers the best science from around the world. It’s clear: There’s no time to delay. The first chapter examines the current science of climate change, the second will look at impacts and the third will consider strategies to deal with the problem. A report synthesizing the three chapters will be released in 2014. We must take it seriously. Scientist, author and broadcaster David Suzuki wrote this column with Ian Hanington.

Mulcair says no to wealth tax
GREENPEACE ARRESTS
Quebec government calls out Russia BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
EXPECTS STAR NDP CANDIDATE TO BE TEAM PLAYER If elected, he said an NDP government would roll back recent tax reductions on corporations, replacing them with “targeted tax incentives” for smaller firms to create jobs for youth, strengthen public pensions and reverse the Conservative plan to raise the age of eligibility for Old Age Security to 67. As well, he promised to put negotiations with First Nations on the front burner, saying talks should proceed on a “nation to nation” basis. “Tomorrow marks the 250th anniversary of the Royal proclamation of 1763, that document uses the term nations to describe the first residents of Canada. It’s about time that governments start recognizing we have to work nation to nation,” he said. “This paternalism that is a sign of the past has got to stop.” The NDP leader met with Aboriginal leaders in his residence at Stornaway later Sunday. Following the breakthrough in the 2011 election, which gave the party official opposition status for the first time, NDP policies and pronouncements have drawn greater attention and scrutiny because of the real possibility the party could win government. The arrival of the charismatic Justin Trudeau appears to have revived Liberal Party prospects, dropping to NDP into third place in the public opinion polls. But at about 25 per cent support, the party remains in striking distance of the Liberals and Conservatives.

MONTREAL — Quebec is wading into international waters, calling out the Russian government in the case of Greenpeace activists arrested during a protest last month. Jean-Francois Lisee, the Parti Quebecois government’s minister of international relations, is asking for clemency in the case of a Quebec resident held in Russian prison. The crew of the seized Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise includes Alexandre Paul of Montreal and Paul Ruzycki of Port Colborne, Ontario. They could each face a 15-year prison term on charges of piracy. Lisee said he’s been in contact with Canada’s consular services and is putting pressure on the federal government to do more. He said he’s hoping to meet with Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird in the coming days. “The legality of the arrest is questionable, and especially the charge of piracy, which carries a possibility of 15 years in prison, is clearly exaggerated,” Lisee said in a speech late Saturday at a Montreal vigil for the arrested activists. The protest was one a handful held in Canadian cities on Saturday as part of an international day of action against the arrests. Russia seized Arctic Sunrise after a Sept. 18 protest at a Gazprom oil drilling platform located in the Arctic circle, charging all 30 on the boat with piracy. Paul’s mother, who was also at the Montreal protest, has urged the federal government to get more involved in the case. Nicole Paul said she found the charges against her 35-year-old son excessive, given that his goal was to raise awareness about environmental issues. Greenpeace denies any wrongdoing and describes the charges as absurd.
Canadians freed from Egyptian prison BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Two Canadians held in an Egyptian prison were completely surprised when a guard swung open their cell door and led them to freedom after seven weeks in detention, says a relative of one of the men. John Greyson’s sister Cecilia said the Toronto filmmaker and London, Ont., Dr. Tarek Loubani had no clue that they were being freed. “They just got a knock on the cell door and they were just sort of shuffled out of the cell,” she said her brother told her in a late-night telephone call immediately after he was released from a Cairo prison with Loubani early Sunday morning. “He actually thought they were changing cells or going to a different prison. So he was as surprised as anyone else about their release.” Cecilia Greyson said that when the phone rang late Saturday night she had no idea it was her brother calling from the comfort of a hotel. “I think he just said, ‘Hi, it’s John,’ and I sort of screamed and started to cry.” The two men were arrested on Aug. 16 during violent anti-government demonstrations in Cairo and detained in what they’ve called squalid conditions. In her first time speaking to her brother since then, Cecilia Greyson said he told her he was in good health. She added his sense of humour shined through during their 10-minute conversation. The men are currently in a Cairo hotel with their passports but will remain in Egypt until “red tape” is cleared allowing them to come home, Cecilia Greyson said, adding consular officials are helping them. The Associated Press reported Sunday that the pair were prevented from flying out of Cairo after their names appeared on a “stop-list” issued by prosecutors, the news agency attributed the information to airport officials. According to the news agency, the two men had checked in for a flight to Frankfurt, Germany, but were prevented from boarding the plane. They retrieved their luggage and were free to leave the airport, said the officials.
OTTAWA — NDP Leader Tom Mulcair is throwing cold water on the idea of his party raising taxes on the wealthy if it forms government even though a star candidate in Toronto supports such a tax hike. The NDP leader re-affirmed his position on the tax issue at a party event in Ottawa on Sunday that served as a unofficial launch to the next federal election campaign, although that is two years off. Of more immediate concern is the high-profile battle between two journalistic heavyweights — the NDP’s Linda McQuaig and Chrystia Freeland of the Liberals — in the upcoming bylection in Toronto Centre. McQuaig, a journalist and author, has made news highlighting the issue of income inequality and voicing support for a tax hike on the rich. Mulcair said that is not party policy and he expects McQuaig to be a team player. “She’s an extraordinary candidate... but she’s also playing now as part of a team and there’s not the slightest problem with that,” he said. “I’m very clear, no increases in personal taxes will be in any way shape or form part of our political offer in 2015.” In an email statement, McQuaig said she was “proud” to be running on Mulcair’s team “and fully

There are many ways to do this,” she added, without mentioning the wealth tax. Earlier, Mulcair spoke to the NDP federal council, telling about 100 party organizers and workers to start preparing for the next election. In a campaign-style speech, Mulcair declared Ottawa “broken” and that the NDP, the only party among the big three never to have held power, is the only choice for Canadians who want to see real change.
UN fact-finder arrives in Canada to survey concerns of Aboriginal Peoples THE CANADIAN PRESS A United Nations factfinder is set to take stock of the plight of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada. The UN has dispatched law professor James Anaya to speak to First Nations representatives and government officials as he drafts a report for the world body. “The idea is to get a first-hand view of the situation of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada by hearing directly from as many as I can,” he said in a telephone interview. As the UN’s special rapporteur on indigenous rights, Anaya is responsible for promoting laws and policies that support indigenous peoples around the world. He will also look at their living conditions and issue reports and recommendations. The rapporteur has no binding authority. Rather, he aims to shame governments into action by bringing unacceptable conditions to light. The federal government will get a chance to respond to Anaya’s
have no choice but to significantly alter or even shelve projects that infringe on the rights of First Nations. Anaya’s fact-finding trip has been a long time coming. He first requested permission to make an official visit to Canada in February 2012. He had to reschedule his trip, originally set for Oct. 12-20, after Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued Parliament. The head of the Assembly of First Nations said he hopes Anaya’s visit will shed light on some of the hardships endured by Aboriginal Peoples. “What this moment represents, in my view, is a moment to hold a mirror up to the country and reflect back the kinds of real challenges,” Shawn Atleo said. “It’s a truth-telling moment, if you will.”

need the co-operation of First Nations. “On a global scale, yes, absolutely we’ve seen a clear trend in that direction among the major mining and oil companies in particular,” he said. “You see a clear trend toward greater awareness of the need for there to be consultation with indigenous peoples and agreements with indigenous peoples if resource extraction or development is going to take place within their territories.” That realization is seemingly being borne out in Canada with the recent trip to British Columbia by a cadre of senior government officials to listen to First Nations concerns over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and other energy projects.

Freedom-of-info portal expands 16 NEW FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS BEING ADDED OTTAWA, Ont. — The federal government plans to expand its web portal for online information requests, with 16 new departments added over the next six months. A pilot project, launched April 9, enabled the online filing of access-to-information and privacy requests, and the electronic payment of fees. It offers citizens a digital alternative to a paper-based system dating from the early 1980s. The pilot currently includes just three departments — Treasury Board, Shared Services Canada, and Citizenship and Immigration — but the service will eventually be expanded to cover all of govern-
ment over the next few years. In the first five months of the pilot, almost 11,000 information requests passed through the portal, virtually all of them for Citizenship and Immigration, some 7,800 of which were access-to-information requests. Citizenship and Immigration has long attracted the highest number of access and privacy requests of any federal department, as individuals and their legal counsel are required to use these laws to view their own immigration files. The department had already established an online payment option in January 2012, enabling requesters to pay their $5 application fees for access-to-information requests by credit card. (Priva-
cy requests are free.) Forms could then be scanned and emailed. The pilot project this year built on Citizenship and Immigration’s existing online solutions, and after five months, more than 60 per cent of all information requests at the three institutions were arriving via the web. The pilot has so far cost at least $140,000 in technology upgrades. “For the first time, Canadians are able to exercise their right of access with greater ease by requesting information online without having to print, complete and mail in paper forms and a cheque,” Kelly James, a Treasury Board spokesperson, said in an email. “Furthermore, there is sub-
Recovery uncertain for remains of three Canadians in Antarctica plane wreck THE CANADIAN PRESS The frozen remains of three Canadians have been in the wreckage of a plane, partially buried in snow and stuck on the side of one of the highest mountains in Antarctica, for nine months. The summer season is starting at the bottom of the world, and that was supposed to mean that a mission to recover the bodies of the men could begin. But now there is confusion about who should co-ordinate the retrieval and it is unclear when, or even if, it will happen. “It’s almost a bit like if it happened in outer space, that there’s no clear lines of authority as to who has responsibility for what,” says Judge Neil MacLean, the chief coroner of New Zealand.
MacLean headed an inquest into the plane crash in June and, although no one has actually seen the bodies, the judge ruled the three men must have died in the crash. He formally registered the deaths of 55-year-old Bob Heath, of Inuvik, N.W.T., 36-yearold Perry Andersen, of Collingwood, Ont., and 25-year-old Mike Denton of Calgary. An official with Canada’s Transportation Safety Board says it has decided the crash site is too dangerous to send in the investigators who are studying why the plane flew into the mountain. Jon Lee also says New Zealand has jurisdiction over the area and it’s up to that country’s coroner to decide what will happen with recovery of the men’s bodies. But MacLean says he has no further role in the
case. “I think there may be some crossed lines of communication,” he said. Jurisdiction aside, says MacLean, it’s really about who has the skills and resources to take on a recovery mission. New Zealand’s search and rescue centre helped in the initial search for the plane. Crew members were unable to get to the bodies, but were able to dig out some equipment and personal items from the wreckage. A spokeswoman for the group says it deals only with emergency situations and won’t be helping in recovery. The United States is also part of a search and rescue team in the Antarctic, but a spokesperson was unavailable for comment. The U.S. government has been in shut-down mode for almost a week.
stantial benefit to Canadians and to the government of Canada in terms of cost associated with the electronic processing of the administrative fee.” James did not indicate which departments will next be joining the web portal. But internal Treasury Board documents show that Health Canada, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada and the Correctional Service of Canada likely are among the digital newcomers. Treasury Board officials, who are spearheading the initiative, were initially fretful that the online ease of filing might swamp government, especially with “vexatious or frivolous” requests, say the internal documents, obtained through access-to-information. Officials consulted with the
office of the privacy commissioner, which had instituted its own web portal in August 2012 for the online filing of privacy complaints. The privacy office reported no “measurable” number of “vexatious or nuisance complaints” arriving because of the digital option, but noted the total number of complaints rose by about 10 per cent, many of them filed “in the heat of the moment.” On the web: Treasury Board video launching the information portal: tbs-sct.gc.ca/media/nrcp/2013/0409-eng.asp CBC satirical video on the portal: cbc.ca/player/Shows/ Shows/22+Minutes/Clips/ ID/2293845024/
Dangerous offender hearing begins for child abductor Hopley BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Convicted sex offender Randal Hopley said at a sentencing hearing last year that he abducted a threeyear-old from his home in an effort to get back at the justice system. Today, the Crown plans to argue Hopley should never again get that chance. It was a kidnapping case that bordered on the miraculous when, two years ago, little Kienan Hebert was returned unharmed to his home just as mysteriously as he had disappeared several days earlier in September, 2011. A massive manhunt for the child’s abductor ensued and several days later, Mounties arrested 47-year-old Hopley near the B.C.-Alberta border. On Monday, Hopley will appear in B.C. Supreme Court, where a judge is expected to hear arguments all week on whether the man should be designated as a dangerous or a long-term offender. Justice Heather Holmes ordered a psychiatric assessment last year. Prosecutor Lynal Doerksen said he will be arguing for a dangerous offender designation for Hopley. “Just given the circumstances of what occurred two years ago and his prior record for similar conduct, he
poses a risk of repeating the same behaviour and we don’t want that to happen,” Doerksen said in a phone interview. Hopley’s lawyer, William Thorne, has defended his client as a “simple man who did a stupid thing,” and had asked for his own psychiatric assessment to be made. If declared a dangerous offender, Hopley could face the harshest punishment of an indeterminate imprisonment sentence with no chance of parole for seven years. A long-term offender designation would mean Hopley could, after serving his sentence, receive a supervision order for up to 10 years. Kienan Hebert was abducted in the middle of the night from the secondfloor bedroom of his unlocked home in Sparwood, a small town in southeastern B.C., in September 2011. The subsequent Amber Alert saw RCMP officers frantically scour the area for the child while the kidnapping case made headlines across the country. As they grew more desperate, Kienan’s parents issued an emotional public plea to the boy’s abductor, asking the man to leave Kienan in a safe place. Hopley has a criminal history, including a sexual assault on a fiveyear-old boy in 1985 and an attempted abduction in 2007. He remains in protective custody.

FIRST-TIME VOTERS EXCITED ABOUT BECOMING INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Four Red Deer College students are looking forward to their first chance to cast a ballot and become part of the political process in the approaching municipal election. Red Deer residents Josh Cormier and Brady Podloski both said the bike lanes are one of the big issues for them. “I think that’s an issue for a lot of Red Deerians and for me I support them,” said Cormier, an education student. But Podloski, who wants to study criminology, doesn’t think enough people use them. “They’re meant for exercise, but we already have gyms everywhere,” said Podloski. “How much does Red Deer spend on those?” Cormier did say that council’s communication was lacking and could have been handled better in relation to bike lanes. Municipal elections involve a lot of research as there are many people to vote for. On Oct. 21, people will vote for one mayor, eight councillors and, depending on if they vote for the public or catholic school board, seven or five trustees. “If I don’t know what they’re about, I’m not going to choose them. I’m not going to give my vote to some random person,” said Podloski, adding he reads the newspaper to stay on top of the municipal election, as well as being active in his political science class. Though he is unable to vote in the election Toby Nwabuogor, 18, he is still enthusiastic about the process. He came to Red Deer from Nigeria three months ago, falling three months shy of the sixmonth requirement to vote in the municipal elections. “Where I come from you only see the best side of politicians during elections,” said Nwabuogor, an open studies student focusing on psychology. “They will go to villages, they will buy stuff and then after that people vote for them. They make promises and then after that they pretty much disappear, they’ve gotten what they wanted.” He said he wants to change the system, and for that to hap-

The Red Deer College students have the chance to vote in the coming election for the first time. pen he has to be politically active. Though he can’t vote, he still reads newspaper articles about the election and learns what people stand for. “What I’m looking at is how politicians handle change,” said Nwabuogor. “If they’re able to handle change well because we’re in a changing world. We can’t have people saying no, we have to stick to the same old principles because it worked 20 years ago.” Evan Lintick is voting for the first time in his hometown of Sylvan Lake. He said he supports Sean McIntyre, after seeing him speak at his high school graduation, he was impressed with his charisma. “Susan Samson has been mayor for years,” said Lintick. “I haven’t seen any public appearances from her and I feel Sean McIntyre adds a better face to the community than she has in the past few years.” Down the ballot Lintick, a political science student, already has his mind made up about one candidate, Jas Payne, his old football coach. Cormier said he supports
Cindy Jefferies in this campaign. “I’m not your average 18-year-old who sits around and plays video games, I’m actually at the farmers market, talking to politicians,” said Cormier. “I want to know where they stand because I think it’s important for young people to vote and be engaged.” Cormier’s dad is a social teacher and is interested in politics, which has influenced him in his interest. For Lintick it was a little bit of a different experience. “My parents aren’t that politically involved, but my grandparents are very much involved,” said Lintick. “Most of my family tends to lean conservative, but then there’s my grandfather who is more left-wing. One of the hot button topics when my family gets together is politics.” Last municipal election, 2010, voter turnout was under 24 per cent. These young voters have tried to push their friends to vote and have been met, for the most part, with apathy. Nwabuogor said it is completely different in Nigeria, young people push for other to
vote for change. “The youths are always trying somehow to get their voice heard,” said Nwabuogor. “People organize themselves to go vote for someone. I’m surprised because here people don’t vote.” Red Deer College Student Association president Martin Cruz is in a unique position. The 20-year-old political science student is a first time voter as well, but before he gets the chance to vote he has to moderate the college’s mayoral forum on Tuesday. “We want to make it fun, but we have to put out the importance of why you should vote,” said Cruz. “It’s also part of our job to make sure we’re doing our part in the community.” While the questions will generally come from the community and members of the college’s political science society, Cruz said he would ask the candidates what their financial priorities are for the city. The college hosted debate takes place Tuesday, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the City Centre Stage, 4922 49th St. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate. com

BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF If there’s one thing Jim Watters has been missing over the past three years, it’s been having a voice at the Red Deer Public School District board meetings. Watters, 58, served as a trustee from 1998 to 2010 and was involved with school councils from 1993 to 1998. Jim Watters “My passion for education has never left,” he said. “I went to the farmers’ market for 12 years ... I felt education was so important that I needed to keep it out on the front burner and if you stand out at the market, people will come to know you care, that I was there to discuss and answer questions and let them know what’s happening even when it wasn’t an election year.” Watters, a gas fitter with ATCO, didn’t seek re-election in 2010 because he wanted to “try something different” and threw his hat in the race for city council at the time. He was not elected that year but now, with time to “take a look at things,” he said he’s eager to get back on board. “I was never defeated as a trustee and it’s important to let the people know I’m back and want to continue working for education. I’m accountable and accessible for a reason.” Funding and Grade 12 com-
pletion rates are areas Watters wants to see honed in on over the next few years. “If we’re going to do as much as we want to do, then we need the funds to do it and it has to be all positive for kids. That’s No. 1,” he said. “Completion of high school is very high on the list, too. ... Myself being in the trades, I know talking to students is needed more — to get them thinking about what they want to do after Grade 12 and support them rather than telling them what they want to do.” When he was first elected in 1998, Watters promised he would visit all the district’s schools. “I did that and I did it every year I was a trustee.

BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF The youngest candidate vying for a spot on the Red Deer Public School District board says he has three priorities when it comes to education: accessibility, sustainability and achieving a high quality outcome. “We see unpredictable funding from the provincial g o v e r n m e n t Kurt Spady and classroom sizes growing. I think those are important issues to look at and develop sustainable solutions to,” said Kurt Spady, 30. “In terms of accessibility, we are always seeing new technology come out as different ways of teaching in the classroom but I think an important question that I would ask is who are we leaving out? If we implement iPads in every classroom, are we going to leave out socioeconomically disadvantaged families?” Spady, born and raised in Red Deer, is married to Janelle, a fellow lifetime local. They have twins, Ava and Jackson, age two and a half. “They’ll be entering the public school system in the next couple of years — it’s coming up quick. “So they are my inspiration for running,” Spady said.

Spady said he recently began attending board meetings to see what they were like and was surprised by how many members remembered him from his days as student. “I feel like we have a really good leadership at the board. I think it’s a positive place that I could learn a lot from.” Trustee candidates will be on the Oct. 21 municipal ballot along with city council and mayoral candidates.

Harper arrives at summit bearing $36B Malaysian investment boost MALAYSIA’S STATE-OWNED OIL AND GAS COMPANY PETRONAS COMMITS TO CONSTRUCTION OF LIQUID NATURAL GAS PLANT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA AND PIPELINE TO FEED IT BY BRUCE CHEADLE THE CANADIAN PRESS
ASIA-PACIFIC LEADERS’ SUMMIT
NUSA DUA, Indonesia — Prime Minister Stephen Harper arrived in Bali for an Asia-Pacific leaders’ summit Sunday bearing what could be called a $36-billion vote of confidence from Malaysia’s stateowned oil and gas company. Malaysian Prime Minister Mohd Najib sprung the “gargantuan” investment figure during a joint availability with Harper in Putrajaya, saying Malaysia’s state-owned oil and gas company Petronas has committed to construction of a liquid natural gas plant in British Columbia and the pipeline to feed it. “I’m told that this is the largest direct foreign investment in Canada by any country,” Najib said, flanked by Harper following a formal welcoming ceremony at a sprawling new government precinct outside the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur. Najib called it a “significant landmark decision” by Petronas, which last year spent more than $5 billion buying Alberta-based Progress Energy Inc. The Petronas takeover, and a bigger oil patch buyout by China’s state-owned CNOOC, prompted months of hand-wringing by the Harper government. It approved the deals late last year but at the same time introduced new rules that permit majority takeovers of Canadian companies by state-owned enterprises only in the most exceptional circumstances. The policy change put a major chill on direct foreign investment in Canada by so-called SOEs, and analysts have recently begun questioning whether the Conservative policy shift is scaring off muchneeded foreign capital. Najib rode to Harper’s defence Sunday, calling the promised Petronas infrastructure investment a testament “to the level of confidence we have in the policies of the Canadian government.” Harper’s reaction to the news was almost muted, by contrast. “Look, we view the Petronas investments very positively and all the indications I have is that Petronas is looking at further investment,” said the prime minister. “The government of Canada is very excited about that possibility, as are all those I’ve talked to in the energy sector.” However the Prime Minister’s Office declined to provide any details of the promised $36 billion investment, referring reporters to Petronas for details. Provincial officials in B.C. had spoken in June of a $19 billion LNG plant and pipeline investment by Petronas, and it wasn’t clear Sunday where the whopping new total comes from. Both Najib and Harper flew their separate delegations to Indonesia following the Sunday morning meeting in Malaysia. Regardless, the announcement provides Harper a much-needed shot in the arm as he brings Canada’s trade and investment message to Bali. Harper has been involved in an increasingly acri-

The Conservatives have also failed to seal the major trade pacts they’ve been negotiating, and Najib appeared to confirm Sunday that the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, involving 12 Pacific Rim counties including Canada, won’t meet its year-end target for completing a framework agreement. So Harper, who has prorogued parliament and will deliver a throne speech Oct. 16 setting out a
new government agenda, needs some good economic news to bolster his case. Najib was asked by a Malaysian reporter what guarantees Petronas had been given on its multibillion-dollar Canadian investment “over 30 years.” The investment has a long horizon, Najib agreed, adding he is confident that not only the current Conservative government would support Petronas’s Canadian involvement, but so would future governments.

Student budgets don’t make grade As the school year moves into full swing the issues of the cost of post-secondary education and student debt again take on a high degree of importance in the lives and minds of parents and students alike. The average total cost of a four-year undergraduate degree today is estimated at about $84,000. Saving enough to pay for a child’s education can be very challenging for parents, particularly if they have more than one child, and as a result students are taking on an average of more than $27,000 of debt to get their degrees. “University is full of tempting opportunities to spend money, which is why it is important for students to create a budget and learn when and how to say ‘no’ to things they cannot afford,” says Raymond TALBOT Chun, a senior vice president at TD Canada Trust. BOGGS “With the cost of an undergraduate degree it is imperative that students do their homework on how to manage everyday finances, stretch their student dollars and avoid excessive debt.” Students can quickly and easily rack up debt in a number of ways from using a credit card, taking trips on spring break that they can’t afford, evenings out with friends, buying electronic gadgets and even spending money on coffee. Recent research from TD Canada Trust has found that a majority of undergraduate students admit they would have managed their finances differently if they could go back and do it all over again. For example, 38 per cent of undergraduates wish they had stuck to a budget during school and 43 per cent with they had curbed spending on discretionary items like evenings out with friends, gadgets and coffee. Thirty-eight per cent wished they had stuck to a budget, 38 per cent wished they had worked while at school, 38 per cent wished they had applied for more scholarships, grants and bursaries, 35 per cent wish they had looked for more ways to save money, and 31 per cent wish they had used credit cards more responsibly. That’s a pretty big financial wish list for young people who haven’t even started their careers yet. TD and Chun have a few suggestions to help postsecondary students make the grade in money management and avoid a few financial hazards on their way through school.

Supermarket chains put their chips on healthier foods BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
GROCERY GROWTH
After years of relentless price wars, Canadian supermarket chains are experimenting with fresh ideas to fend off a new competitive threat, food stores for the health conscious. While U.S. retailers like Target and Walmart have grabbed much of the attention in Canada, another battle is being waged in the produce section, one of the few bastions of the food industry that hasn’t been reduced to rock-bottom prices to attract customers. “It’s a very competitive market, no question about it,” Sobeys president and CEO Marc Poulin
said in a recent interview at the company’s headquarters in Mississauga, Ont. “We continuously strive to give better pricing to our consumers ... but at the same time, price is not the only thing they’re looking for in a supermarket.” Last month, Sobeys (TSX:EMP.A) launched a partnership with British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver designed to encourage Canadians to eat healthier. It’s one of company’s most ambitious promotional campaigns, anchored by sales of Oliver-branded food items like pasta sauces and sea-
sonings, as well as kitchenware. While Sobeys says the goal is to promote better quality meals, it’s also designed to attract the kind of shoppers who favour organic products from high-end grocers like Whole Foods Market over the bigger chains. Loblaw (TSX:L) is following a similar approach with the launch of Nutshell Live Life Well, a health food test store that will open in downtown Toronto this fall. “Consumers are always looking for something that’s different,” said Daniel Baer, a retail analyst at Ernst and Young.

STORIES FROM PAGE A8
HARPER: Policy shift Harper, who has never shied from throwing partisan jabs while representing Canada abroad, took the opportunity to take a swipe at both the Liberals and the NDP. He said Liberals have always approved any foreign investment “no matter what,” and that New Democrats “are ideologically opposed to investment.” Harper said his government judges each foreign investment “on its merits” and called it a policy of “discretion.” It’s a fine balance for a Conservative government that says it is courting Asian markets and wants to make Canada an “emerging energy super power” but has faced a backlash from its political base over foreign — especially Communist Chinese — stateowned enterprise takeovers. The policy shift has not been welcomed in China, noted analyst Yuen Pau Woo, president of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. Malaysia, which has few state-owned enterprises, won’t much mind, Woo said in an interview — “they’re in the barn already” — but China has a host of state-owned companies looking to expand and Canada is not sending welcoming signals. Harper said all western governments have some tough choices to make but that Canada is well positioned. “Look, it’s no international secret that the rise of China and of Asia in the minds of all of us is likely to be one of the dominant realities of the coming century,” Harper said Sunday. “Western countries certainly will have their place in the world — provided that we make good decisions.” He said Canada must “avoid some of the pitfalls of other western countries,” without citing any foreign examples. Budgetary and political gridlock in Washington has shut down the U.S. government and will prevent President Obama from attending the APEC summit here. Najib graciously offered that Asia’s rise will be a global boon “and we believe that we should prosper together.”
FOOD: Sales slip “You have to have some differentiator, otherwise people will go to the lowest cost.” The latest figures from Statistics Canada paint an image of the changing food habits of Canadian shoppers. Retail sales at grocery stores declined 0.6 per cent to $6.3 billion in July over the previous month, and a steeper drop of 1.3 per cent from a year earlier. However, specialty food stores — which include sales at fruit and vegetable as well as meat markets — saw consumers spend more money at their checkouts in same periods, even though it represented a much smaller portion of the market. Overall spending in the specialty food sector rose 0.8 per cent month over month to $439 million while July sales jumped 7.4 per cent compared with a year ago. So far, neither of the big U.S. retailers has taken much notice of the changing trends. Target Canada doesn’t stock fruits and vegetables in its limited food section, while Walmart has been gradually expanding its produce offerings as it rolls our the larger supercentre format. “Some U.S. retailers have a very set way of doing things and they don’t want to move off their formula,” Poulin said. “It creates opportunities for other retailers.” Sobeys and Loblaws certainly aren’t the only ones who believe that fresh food has a bright future. Industry players have been buzzing for months about the possibility that U.S. webstore Amazon.com Inc. could be the next one to join the produce game in Canada with its AmazonFresh brand. The service offers shipment of food items directly to customer’s homes, a part of the grocery business that hasn’t been tapped by any company in Canada outside of major cities. While direct delivery is a low priority for Canadian grocers at this time, it could become another area there they have to act fast to avoid losing market share to another U.S. retailer. In the meantime, the grocers are putting most of their time and money into massive consolidations of the market in an attempt to lower overall costs and increase buying power with manufacturers. In June, Sobeys reached an agreement to buy the Canadian assets of U.S. grocer Safeway for $5.8 billion, a deal that will expand its reach in key urban markets in Western Canada. The deal still requires the approval of the Competition Bureau.
BUDGET: Watch dollars Calculate your total income and then subtract your expenses. If it’s a negative balance then rethink your spending and if it’s positive talk to your bank about smart savings strategies. Hold yourself to a weekly allowance. If you’re tempted to spend beyond this transfer your funds to a separate savings account. Always pay your bills on time because a missed payment can have a negative impact on your credit rating and could impact your ability to borrow money to buy a car or a home in the future. “Always pay bills on time and in full and consider setting up automatic bill payments online for regular expenses,” says Chun. “Even if a cell phone provider gives you an extension on a bill your credit rating may still show that it was paid late.” Treat your credit card like a debit card and leave it at home on evenings out with friends. A credit card is a practical tool to use to buy books and supplies and can offer additional benefits such as rewards and insurance coverage. “Credit cards offer on interest-free loan on new purchases for 21 days but only if the balance is paid in full by the payment due date,” Chun says. “If payment on the full amount is made even one day later the cardholder will be charged interest on those purchases from the day they were posted to the account.” Your school’s career centre can be a great resource for finding opportunities to help supplement your budget by finding a part-time job. If you already have one see if you can get more hours without impacting you studies. Don’t forget to check out possibilities for bursaries, scholarships and grants. You never know what you can get until you try. And get your financial house in order. “One of the easiest ways to avoid over-spending is to organize your finances,” Chun says. “Take advantage of past statements to assess current spending habits. That history can help identify potential saving opportunities and build a realistic budget you can stick to.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sector.
Asia-Pacific economies seek ways to foster growth OBAMA STAYS AWAY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALI, Indonesia — Fighting protectionism and pushing through difficult reforms are critical to the global recovery as the world’s biggest economies struggle with their own internal obstacles to growth, Asia-Pacific leaders gathered for an annual summit said Sunday. With U.S. President Barack Obama bogged down in the domestic drama over the national budget and government shutdown, national leaders at the annual summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum were watching to see how the biggest economies fare. Obama cancelled his trip to the APEC meeting on the Indonesian resort island of Bali because of the budget impasse. “Obviously we prefer a U.S. government which is working to one which is not,” said Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. “It’s a very big disappointment to us that President Obama is unable to visit.” Lee pointed to the U.S. internal battles, Europe’s lingering financial crisis, China’s reform challenges and Japan’s effort to emerge from more than two decades of stagnation as key risks to global growth. “America has to continue to be engaged in this region, because it plays a very important role that
no other country can replace. Not China. Not Japan. Not any other power,” Lee said. Indonesia’s President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono urged the more than 1,200 business and political leaders in Bali to do more to counter the economic headwinds confronting developing countries by dismantling barriers to trade and investment. Trade deficits, capital flight and weakening currencies threaten to undo progress among developing economies in the region against the backdrop of a fragile and uneven global recovery. His call to guard against pressures to raise trade barriers was consistent with a draft of the APEC leaders’ declaration, seen by The Associated Press, which is set to be released at the end of the summit. “APEC is in the ideal position to help the recovery of the global economy,” said Yudhoyono, emphasizing the importance of preventing protectionism and opening markets further to maximize prosperity. “First and foremost we need to do our part to prevent protectionist policies and continue on our path of trade liberalization and maximize the well-being of our citizens,” he said. Reductions in tariffs over the past 25 years have yielded nearly $59 billion in savings for businesses, said Yudhoyono, whose own
country is struggling not to lose gains that have made the world’s largest Muslim country a rising economic power in the region. The APEC summit offers Indonesia a chance to showcase its own progress and possibly attract foreign investment it needs to help modernize its roads, ports, and other infrastructure. Yudhoyono said Indonesia’s recent troubles with a weakening currency and inflation were transient. “We are convinced this is a short-term challenge. Indonesia will remain a land of opportunity and growth,” he said. “As the chief sales person of Indonesia incorporated, let me urge you to take advantage of our opportunities,” Yudhoyono said, pointing to a potential $1.8 trillion in business prospects in a wide array of businesses by 2030. The 21 economies in APEC, which range from tiny Brunei to giant China, are hoping to reach agreement on at least some reforms that might help break a logjam in world trade talks ahead of a WTO meeting in Bali in December. “The economic turmoil of recent years and recent uncertainties in financial markets show just how much the global market matters to us,” said Wishnu Wardhana, CEO of Indonesian energy company Indika and chair of a CEO forum being held alongside APEC.
Retailers use location-based advertising to target consumers THE CANADIAN PRESS When Aidan Nguyen was visiting Chicago last month he got 25 per cent off a meal simply by using the app Foursquare to “check-in” at a restaurant on his smartphone. The self-described shopaholic said he’s always looking for a good deal when he’s out and often posts his location on his social networks. Available for years in the United States and England, locationbased mobile marketing is moving into Canada. This month, customers with Rogers Communications can sign up for text messages that will alert them to deals when they are near specific retailers. Nguyen said he’s willing to share his location in return for a deal. “When you’re walking around, then why not?” asked the 24-year-old Toronto public relations consultant. “If the offer is fitting for what I’m looking for, and it’s a good promotion, I’ll check it out.” Rogers said a few thousand people have already signed up for the option, which offers discounts at six national retailers including Rogers Wireless, Sears Canada (TSX:SCC), A&W Restaurants (TSX:AW.UN), The Second Cup Ltd. (TSX:SCU), Future Shop and Pizza Hut. “We are living in a world where you are always connected to the Internet and you’re very reliant on a mobile device,” said Nyla Ah-

Retailers pay for each text message that is sent out, with Rogers monitoring how subscribers respond. Ahmad said the potential for using wireless “geofences” — virtual zones around specific locations — is
limitless for targeted marketing. In San Francisco, outdoor clothing retailer The North Face uses the technology to send weather reports to subscribers when they enter geofenced areas on highways that lead to areas such as ski hills or bike trails. Grant Packard likened it to being handed a flyer from someone standing outside a business: you may not want the flyer, you agree you’ll take a look at it, but there’s no guarantee you’ll buy anything. “It’s a start, but what marketers really want is that relevance at the point of the mobile de-
vice,” said Packard, a professor at the School of Business and Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University. “What geotargetting is starting to get is context. Where you are matters, but what marketers really want is intent. What are you thinking about at that moment? What do you want at that moment? What is your goal?” Packard, who previously led digital marketing strategies at Indigo Books and Music Inc. (TSX:IDG), said the leading player at the moment is Google, because it is able to target its ads with the help of a users’ search history.
U.S. cities look to address pension woes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Detroit’s bankruptcy is casting a shadow over a long list of cities across the U.S. and giving mayors new urgency in the search for solutions to the greatest challenge to face America’s cities in a generation. While no other city is expected to join Detroit in bankruptcy court anytime soon, similar problems brought on by waning industries, crushing debt and surging pension costs plague city halls from Providence, R.I., to California, and in response mayors are proposing big changes to what was long the biggest perk of a government job: a good and reliable pension. “It’s the lesson of kicking the can down the road. You can put these
things off. But at some point the bill comes due,” Baltimore Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake said in an interview. “People ask me sometimes what keeps me up at night. The prospect of being one of those cities is what keeps me up at night.” The total unfunded pension liability for all U.S. cities and counties is a whopping $574 billion, according to a 2010 study by economists at
D I L B E R T
Northwestern University. That’s a formidable burden to cities already struggling with revenue declines, debt and the ongoing cost of providing services. Years of financial neglect left Detroit’s finances in ruin, prompting its emergency manager to propose sweeping changes to the way the city doles out benefits by eliminating payment increases and creating a new 401(k)-style retire-
ment system. More and more cities are proposing replacing traditional pensions for new employees with a defined contribution plan or a hybrid that combines a defined contribution plan with a smaller traditional pension. It’s been proposed in Philadelphia, and it’s already the law in Rhode Island, where the state pension system covers teachers and many local workers.

Deadly clashes hit divided Egypt AT LEAST 34 KILLED AS STREET BATTLES TAKE PLACE ACROSS THE COUNTRY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO, Egypt — Clashes erupted across much of Egypt between security forces and supporters of the ousted president on Sunday. Egypt’s Health Ministry says 34 people have been killed in clashes between security forces and supporters of the ousted Islamist president. Street battles raged for hours in Cairo and other parts of the country as authorities tried to separate rival crowds supporting Mohamed Morsi and the military. Authorities said 30 died in Cairo. The clashes took place on the day 40 years ago when Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal at the start of the nation’s last war with Israel. The day has since been declared a national holiday. The military-backed government had wanted the anniversary celebration to be a tribute to the armed forces, whose chief ousted the Islamist Mohammed Morsi in a popularly supported coup on July 3. But demonstrations across Cairo and much of the country by Morsi’s supporters marred the festivities. They and security forces fought pitched street battles for hours in several Cairo locations that now look like combat zones, with small fires burning, black smoke rising and the sound of gunshots piercing the air thick with tear gas. In some cases, the pro-Morsi demonstrators were set upon by supporters of the military. Authorities said they had arrested 335 Morsi supporters nationwide. The clashes were the last chapter in the turmoil roiling the country since
the ouster in February 2011 of longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak and are certain to set back efforts by the government to revive the economy, especially the vital tourism sector, and bring order to the streets of Cairo, where crime and lawlessness have been rife. The scene of the fighting contrasted sharply with a carnival-like mood in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square, where thousands of supporters of the military waved Egyptian flags, blew whistles and touted posters of army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. Adding to the festivities, a military band in green jackets and off white pants played, and men spun in whirling dervish-style dances. Thousands of Morsi backers meanwhile held marches around the city, shouting slogans against el-Sissi as some headed toward Tahrir in hopes of forcing their way into the sprawling plaza. At central locations including a southern entrance to the square, police fired into the air and lobbed tear gas to push back several pro-Morsi marches as they approached. Some of the dead however suffered gunshot wounds to the head and chest and the pro-Morsi demonstrators were also lobbing firebombs and firing birdshots at the police. An Associated Press photographer saw nine bodies lying on the floor of a clinic in the Dokki area, where heavy clashes took place. Most had gunshot wounds to the head and chest. Soldiers barricaded entrances to Tahrir with barbed wire and armoured personnel vehicles. Metal detectors were installed at the entrances and demonstrators pouring into the square were searched by troops.
Libya wants answers after U.S. raid snatches al-Qaida suspect THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A suspected Libyan al-Qaida figure nabbed by U.S. special forces in a dramatic operation in Tripoli was living freely in his homeland for the past two years, after a trajectory that took him to Sudan, Afghanistan and Iran, where he had been detained for years, his family said Sunday. The Libyan government bristled at the raid, asking Washington to explain the “kidnapping.” The swift Delta Force operation in the streets of the Libyan capital that seized the militant known as Abu Anas alLibi was one of two assaults Saturday that showed an American determination to move directly against terror suspects — even in two nations mired in chaos where the U.S. has suffered deadly humiliations in the past. Hours before the Libya raid, a Navy SEAL team swam ashore in the East African nation of Somalia and engaged in a fierce firefight, though it did not capture its target, a leading militant in the al-Qaida-linked group that carried out the recent Kenyan mall siege. “We hope that this makes clear that the United States of America will never stop in the effort to hold those accountable who conduct acts of terror,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday at an economic summit in Indonesia. “Members of al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations literally can run but they can’t hide.”
Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Abu Anas al-Libi, was accused by the U.S. of involvement in the 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, which killed more than 220 people. He has been on the FBI’s most wanted terrorists list since it was introduced shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack, with a $5 million bounty on his head. U.S. officials depicted his capture as a significant blow against al-Qaida, which has lost a string of key figures, including leader Osama bin Laden, killed in a 2011 raid in Pakistan. However, it was unclear whether the 49-year-old al-Libi had a major role in the terror organization — his alleged role in the 1998 attack was to scout one of the targeted embassies — and there was no immediate word that he had been involved in militant activities in Libya. His family and former associates denied he was ever a member of alQaida and said he had not been engaged in any activities since coming home in 2011. But the raid signalled a U.S. readiness to take action against militants in Libya, where al-Qaida and other armed Islamic groups have gained an increasingly powerful foothold since the 2011 ouster and killing of dictator Moammar Gadhafi and have set up tied with a belt of radical groups across North Africa and Egypt. Libya’s central government remains weak,
and armed militias — many of them made up of Islamic militants — hold sway in many places around the country, including in parts of the capital. Amid the turmoil, Libyan authorities have been unable to move against militants, including those behind the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, in which the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed. Libyan security officials themselves are regularly targeted by gunmen. The latest victim, a military colonel, was gunned down in Benghazi on Sunday. Several dozen members of the Islamic group Ansar al-Sharia, which has links to militias, protested on Sunday in Benghazi, Libya’s second largest city, denouncing al-Libi’s abduction and criticizing the government. “Where are the men of Tripoli while this is happening?” they chanted, waving black Islamist flags. Al-Libi’s capture was a bold strike in the Libyan capital. He had just parked his car outside his Tripoli home, returning from dawn prayers Saturday, when 10 commandos in multiple vehicles surrounded him, his brother Nabih al-Ruqai told the Associated Press. They smashed his car’s window and seized his gun before grabbing al-Libi and fleeing. He was swiftly spirited out of the country. U.S. Defence Department spokesman George Little said he was being held “in a secure location outside of Libya.” He did not elaborate further.

Egyptian security forces and civilians detain a supporter of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi near Ramsis Square, Cairo, Egypt. Deadly clashes left many dead and scores injured as rival crowds of supporters of the military and backers of Morsi poured into streets around the country Sunday, as a holiday marking the anniversary of the last war with Israel turned into a showdown between the country’s two rival camps. “The people have one demand: Remove el-Sissi and the president,” Islamist protesters chanted, referring to the interim president installed after Morsi’s fall. Violence was also reported in south-
ern Egypt, where one Morsi supporter was killed in the town of Dalga. Police opened fire on a march by Islamists after some of the protesters fired birdshot at the police, according to the provincial security chief, Osama Metwali.
Weapons inspectors begin destroying chemical weapons SYRIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — International disarmament experts on Sunday began dismantling and destroying Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal and the equipment used to produce it, taking the first concrete step in their colossal task of eliminating the country’s chemical stockpile by mid-2014, an official said. The inspectors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons have about nine months to purge President Bashar Assad’s regime of its chemical program. The mission, endorsed by the U.N. Security Council, faces the tightest deadline in the watchdog group’s history and must simultaneously navigate Syria’s bloody civil war. Sunday marked the fifth day that an advance team of around 20 inspectors have been in the country and the first day that involved actually disabling and destroying weapons and machinery, an official on
the joint OPCW-U.N. mission said. The team oversaw Syrian personnel who used cutting torches and disc saws to destroy and disable a range of items, including missile warheads, aerial bombs, and mixing and filling equipment, the OPCW said in a statement. The Syrians are responsible for the actual physical demolition of the materials, while OPCW inspectors monitor the process and verify what is being destroyed, the official said. He declined to provide details or say where the work took place. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. This is just the beginning of a complicated process to eliminate Syria’s estimated 1,000-ton chemical weapons stockpile and the facilities that created it. Damascus developed its chemical program in the 1980s and 1990s, building an arsenal that is believed to contain mustard gas and the nerve agents sarin VX and tabun. The production and storage facilities are understood to be scattered around the country.
The OPCW-U.N. advance team arrived last week to lay the foundations for a broader operation of nearly 100 inspectors. Those already in Syria have been double-checking the Assad regime’s initial disclosure of what weapons and chemical precursors it has and where they are located. Members of the team are planning visits to every location where chemicals or weapons are stored — from trucks loaded with munitions up to full-on production sites. Inspectors can use any means to destroy equipment, including crude techniques like taking sledgehammers to control panels or driving tanks over empty vats. But the second phase — destroying battle-ready weapons — is more difficult, time-consuming and expensive. It can be done by incinerating materials in sealed furnaces at ultra-high temperatures or by transforming precursor chemicals or diluting them with water. It’s an arduous task in the best of times, and Syria offers anything but an easy work environment.

B1 Rebels conclude trip with win
MONDAY, OCT. 7, 2013
THREE PLAYERS GET FIRST GOAL OF SEASON TO HELP REBELS GET PAST WHEAT KINGS BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Rebels 4 Wheat Kings 2 Considering the adversity the Red Deer Rebels faced on their four-game Western Hockey League road trip, a concluding 4-2 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings Saturday was especially satisfying. “It was a tough trip in a lot of different ways,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter Sunday, in reference to a three-game suspension to defenceman Devan Fafard, injuries to rearguard Brady Gaudet and impressive rookie forward Grayson Pawlenchuk, and inconsistent play from his troops. “There were times when we played well and times we didn’t play as well as we expected,” Sutter continued. “Last night was certainly the best game
from start to finish that we played on the trip.” With Pawlenchuk already missing due to a broken elbow he suffered in a 6-4 loss at Moose Jaw Friday, Gaudet was unable to go Saturday after taking a shot on the ankle the night before. Pawlenchuk underwent surgery Sunday morning and will be out six to eight weeks, while Gaudet is listed as day-to-day. On a positive note, Fafard served the last game of his suspension Saturday and will return to the Red Deer lineup for Tuesday’s 7 p.m. clash with the visiting Everett Silvertips. The Rebels dressed just 19 players — including four 16-year-olds — for Saturday’s contest played before 3,748 fans at Westman Place, yet led 1-0 after one period on Christian Stockl’s first goal of the season. Both clubs scored twice in the sec-
ond period, a frame in which the Rebels were assessed all four minor penalties called by referees Jeff Ingram and Kyle Kowalski. “That’s something we have to continue to work on. Being a young team, we have to understand the reality of beating ourselves,” said Sutter. “The night before we gave up four powerplay goal against Moose Jaw and last night we had four minors in the second period, three in the first eight minutes. “We had the momentum and we lost it.” Richard Nejezchleb pulled Brandon even with a power-play tally 1:35 into the second period, but Vukie Mpofu restored Red Deer’s lead 32 seconds later and Wyatt Johnson increased the margin to 3-1 at 4:37. John Quenneville got one back for the Wheat Kings before the period ended. The clubs then battled through a
scoreless third frame before Rebels forward Dominik Volek notched an empty-net goal with one second left to ensure the Rebels of a 2-2-0 record on the trip. Like Stockl, Mpofu and Johnson each potted their first goal of the season. “With the type of team we have, with a lot of younger players, we have to play a really strong team game and need everyone chipping in,” said Sutter. “Every player is an important part of this team. “Our younger kids have all played well and our older guys, overall, as a group . . . last night’s game was the best they have played. As a coaching staff, we’re very pleased with how we finished the trip and how the kids played.”

Flames edged by Canucks in overtime BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canucks 5 Flames 4 OT CALGARY — A third-period spark required, Vancouver Canucks head coach John Tortorella shuffled his forwards and split twin forwards Henrik and Daniel Sedin onto different lines Sunday in Calgary. The move paid dividends as the Canucks scored three goals in the period and Mike Santorelli provided the overtime winner in a 5-4 victory over the Flames. It was the second win for Vancouver (2-1) in as many nights following a 6-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers in their home-opener Saturday. Santorelli deflected a pass from Kevin Bieksa to score at 3:17 in overtime. Trailing 3-1, the Canucks kicked off their third-period comeback with Daniel Sedin assisting on a Jannick Hansen goal at 5:01, followed by Henrik Sedin setting up Santorelli’s first goal of the game at 9:27. “I know the focus is on the twins, but we split up all the lines,” Tortorella said. “We had six body checks and four scoring chances in two periods, so we were dead in the water. It’s an easy decision to change things up.” Dale Weise put the visitors up 4-3 at 16:06, but Calgary’s David Jones tied the game again with 19 seconds remaining in regulation. Canucks backup goaltender Eddie Lack made 32 saves in the first NHL regular-season game of his career. Roberto Luongo had made 21 saves against the Oilers. “I was nervous on the bus ride over here, but as soon as I got into my normal warmup routine and got on the ice, the guys have been really supportive, then it felt like a normal game,” said Lack, a 25-yearold Swede. “I know coming in here there was a lot of question

It’s important for me to help the team get some points here in the beginning.” Mikael Backlund, Sean Monahan and Calgary captain Mark Giordano also scored for the Flames (1-0-2). It was the second goal in three games for 18-year-old Monahan, who was selected sixth overall by Calgary in the 2013 NHL draft. MacDonald stopped 23 shots in his second straight start after picking up the win in Calgary’s 4-2 decision over
Columbus on Friday. Tortorella lauded Lack’s play and that of 24-year-old defenceman Ryan Stanton, who was claimed off waivers a few days ago. Calgary outshot Vancouver 26-14 and out-hit them 14-6 in the first two periods. “I think the guys decided to play for Eddie,” Tortorella said. “He gave them a chance to be there and still have an opportunity to win a hockey game where really, we should have been spanked. “It’s a good test for our team
to win a game like that. Those are some games you’re going to have to win during the year. You’re not always going to be perfect and we found a way to win.” The Flames have earned four out of a possible six points in their first three games of this NHL season, but have squandered leads in two of those games. “We kind of sat back, we turned the puck over a couple times in the third period and with a team like that, they have a lot of talent,” MacDon-
ald said. “The Sedins, that’s what they thrive on, they want to get these turnovers and they usually make you pay.” With MacDonald pulled for an extra attacker, Jones sent the game into overtime by shovelling the puck in during a goal-mouth scramble at 19:41 of the third. Officials ruled the goal valid after review. Vancouver’s Brad Richardson fed Weise with a wraparound pass to put the Canucks up 4-3 at 16:06.

Kings’ offence struggles in pair of losses to NAIT BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF

RDC Kings goaltender Kraymer Barnstable makes a save on NAIT Ook Michael Piluso during the matchup between the two teams Saturday at the Penhold Regional Multiplex.
Ooks 4 Kings 0 PENHOLD — Special teams can go a long way for the RDC Kings to have success in the Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League this season. But they proved to be a disaster in a 4-0 loss to the NAIT Ooks at the Penhold Regional Multiplex Saturday. The Kings failed to convert on eight power plays while the Ooks connected twice on just three attempts. “It was just the opposite of Friday when they were good on one of eight and we didn’t score on our four chances,” said Kings head coach Trevor Keeper, whose squad lost 1-0 at NAIT. “It’s something we need to be better at for sure.” The Ooks scored both of their power play goals from directly in front of RDC netminder Kraymer Barnstable. The first on a tip in by Dante Borrelli at 10:24 of the second period, to make the score 2-0, and the second by Jamie Johnson, who converted a rebound at 15:57 of the third period to put the finishing touches on the scoring. Meanwhile the Kings, who are overall smaller than the Ooks, had problems getting in front of NAIT netminder Ty Swabb. “They do a good job of boxing out and clearing out in front of their net and at the other end they crash the net really well,” said Keeper. “But the bot-

tom line is that they’re the defending champions and have 14 players returning. That experience goes a long, long way. “Most of our team are first year players just out of junior. They’ll learn how to compete in this league and how to win games as they gain that experience.” The Kings do have a 2-2 record to start the season, their first in the league since 2004. Scoring has been a problem as they’ve managed just three goals, but they’ve allowed only six. “I told the players that any time you’re new to a league you can’t expect to get a lot of points right off the bat. It will come and they’ll pick up the points as we go along. Other teams like NAIT, with guys who have been in the league for two, three or four years, have that experience and will score.” The Kings looked as if they would tie the game at 1-1 early in the second period, but Colton Yaremovich pulled the puck off the goal line as it was trickling in behind Swabb. Other than that the first-year NAIT netminder from Edmonton, who played with the Canmore Eagles, was solid. “He’s a big goaltender and covers down low,” said Keeper. “He does allow rebounds. We need to jump on those and put the puck up under the bar. But again that will come with experience.”

Oilers get roughed up by Canucks BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canucks 6 Oilers 2 VANCOUVER — When the Vancouver Canucks hired John Tortorella, performances like Saturday night’s were probably what they envisioned. Fast, aggressive forecheck and relentless puck pressure in all three zones are hallmarks of the fiery coach’s style, and it was all on display against the overmatched Edmonton Oilers. Dan Hamhuis and Jannik Hansen scored 18 seconds apart late in the first period as the Canucks cruised to a 6-2 victory over the Oilers in Vancouver’s home opener. “That’s the way we want to play. That’s the way we want to continue to play and we want to enforce that on other teams,” said Canucks centre Ryan Kesler, who scored in the second period. “We want to do that every night. We want to win that way.” Daniel Sedin had a goal and an assist, and Brad Richardson and Jason Garrison — into an empty net — also scored for the Canucks (1-1-0) as Roberto Luongo made 21 saves. Henrik Sedin picked up three assists as Vancouver rebounded from Thursday’s season-opening 4-1 road loss to the San Jose Sharks in impressive fashion. “We were aggressive, we put a lot of pressure on their
(defence),” said Henrik Sedin. “We didn’t really play this way for the last couple of years, we were sitting back a little bit more and played a little more on the safe side.” Tortorella, who replaced the fired Alain Vigneault in the off-season, has answered repeated questions about the players’ ability to adapt to his system. The Canucks showed spurts in their season-opening road loss to San Jose but Saturday’s performance was closer to what the coach envisioned. “We were pretty consistent tonight in our attack,” said Tortorella. “(I’m) pretty satisfied with that part of the game.” Luongo, back as Vancouver’s No. 1 goalie after the the Canucks traded Cory Scheinder to the New Jersey Devils, had a good view of his team’s domination of Edmonton. “That’s one of the best games I’ve seen this team play in a long time,” said Luongo. “It was 60 minutes. It was hard. We sustained pressure the whole game.” Jeff Petry and Boyd Gordon had the goals for the Oilers (0-2-0). Devan Dubnyk allowed five goals on 31 shots before being replaced in the second period by Jason LaBarbera. The Edmonton backup finished with 12 saves. Oilers rookie head coach Dallas Eakins has spent the pre-season trying to shake the team’s image of being in re-

Saturday. build mode, stressing that the time to win is now. It’s clearly going to take some time. “Old habits die hard,” Eakins said. “I was encouraged with certain things going through the pre-season. I was more encouraged even though we let that game get away against Winnipeg (a 5-4 season-opening home loss). “Tonight we are back to square one. This isn’t going to
be an easy process here. We will dig our heels in and continue on.” After the teams exchanged goals in the game’s first four minutes, the Canucks carried the play for the rest of the period, with Hamhuis and Hansen beating Dubnyk in quick succession late to give Vancouver a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes. Hamhuis made it 2-1 with a shot from just inside the Ed-
monton blue-line that took a deflection off Petry’s stick with 1:33 left in the period. The fans at Rogers Arena had barely sat down from celebrating that goal when Hansen, who took the spot of the injured Alexandre Burrows on Vancouver’s top line, beat Dubnyk from the slot to give his team a 3-1 edge at 18:45 as the Canucks closed out the period with a 22-8 advantage on the shot clock.
Woods delivers for U.S. in Presidents Cup DUBLIN, Ohio — Fred Couples, the coolest guy in golf, never really looked that way until he stood on the edge of the 18th fairway Sunday and saw everything going his way. The Americans needed only one more point to win the Presidents Cup. And there was Tiger Woods, who has a history of delivering the winning point, in the middle of the fairway at Muirfield Village, where he has won a record five times. The Presidents Cup ended just the way it always does. Woods found the green and twoputted for par and a 1-up victory over Richard Sterne, the third straight time he has won the clinching point in the Presidents Cup. The Americans won for the fifth straight time — and eighth time in 10 tries — against an International side that showed some fight when it was too late to matter. The Americans, who finished strong Sunday morning in the rain-delayed foursomes for a 14-8 lead, only needed to win four singles matches. It took longer than anyone expected. “I must have asked 500 times, ‘How are we getting this fourth point? Where is the fourth point coming from?”’ said Couples, a three-time winner as U.S. captain. “You’re nervous. Not for the players — the players know what they’re doing. But we knew we needed 18 points, and we got them. It was a very, very good match today. And the matches were all close. At no given time was I a nervous wreck. But it was nice when Tiger twoputted that last green to get the 18th point.” The final score — United States 18 ½, International 15 ½ — and whether the matches would beat the rain was really the only suspense on Sunday.

REBELS: Big saves Rebels netminder Patrik Bartosak was named first star of the game after stopping 33 shots, including 17 in the second period. Curtis Honey made 25 saves for Brandon. “Patty played well, he made the big saves when we needed them,” said Sutter. “And we were much better at defending too. Defensively, we played pretty well.” ● Just notes: Defenceman Mathew Dumba made his NHL regular-season debut with the Minnesota Wild Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the visiting Anaheim Ducks. Dumba, who can still be returned to Red Deer this season, played 10 minutes and 22 seconds and was credited with one shot on goal and one hit. He was a zero in the plus/minus category . . . Forward Cory Millette, who was reassigned by the Rebels Friday, was an instant hit with the Estevan Bruins, scoring two goals — including the winner — in a 5-4 Saskatchewan Junior League victory over the Nipawin Hawks Saturday. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com
FLAMES: Pounced Henrik Sedin pounced on a neutral zone turnover from Calgary and dished to Santorelli who beat MacDonald with a wrist shot to tie the game 3-3. Daniel Sedin corralled a Curtis Glencross giveaway behind the goalline and fed it to Hansen in the slot to pull the Canucks within a goal. Monahan, from Brampton, Ont., gave Calgary a 3-1 lead at 1:47 of the third. On an odd-man rush, he gained an out-
“People say it was close. Jack (Nicklaus) said it was close,” International captain Nick Price said. “You tell me. We were behind the 8-ball all day. If we pulled it off, it would have been miraculous.” Not that his team of seven rookies didn’t give it a shot. Zach Johnson closed out Branden Grace, 4 and 2, to give the Americans 17 points and assure them a tie. But it took more than an hour to get that last point. Weyburn, Sask., native Graham DeLaet holed out for birdie for the second time Sunday on the 18th hole, this time from a bunker to beat 20-yearold Jordan Spieth. Ernie Els found his putting touch and beat Steve Stricker. Marc Leishman rolled in a 15-foot par putt from the back fringe of the 18th green to beat Matt Kuchar. Adam Scott and Charl Schwartzel won their matches. The International team’s fleeting hopes ended when Woods, despite suffering back spasms again in the final hour of his match, didn’t make a birdie on the back nine and still won. Sterne helped him by hitting his tee shot off the corporate tents behind the 16th green and making bogey. “It was a team effort this whole week,” said Woods, who went 4-1 for the best record of any player. “We really played well to give ourselves a nice lead.” Rain interrupted the matches all week and made Muirfield Village so soft that it was mere target practice for the best players from every continent but Europe. It was a long, tiring week of leaving the course at darkness and completing matches the next morning when it was just as dark. The Americans might have won this Presidents Cup on Sunday morning. Returning to finish off the foursomes session, the Americans picked
up a win and a halve in matches they had trailed by three holes. Phil Mickelson hit one of many exquisite shots this week — a 7-iron he had to hook with the ball slightly below his feet, around a tree to about 10 feet. Keegan Bradley had to make the birdie putt for a half-point after DeLaet chipped in for birdie. Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel played the last six holes in 5-over par — three bogeys and a ball out-of-bounds for double bogey in losing to Webb Simpson and Brandt Snedeker. “It was a tall order, but they gave it their best shot. These guys played their tails off,” Price said. “We’re a real hodge-podge of a team that came together from four corners of the plan-
et. And they gave the might of America a run for their money.” The closing ceremony was moved indoors because of approaching rain, and it led to an awkward moment as the International team watched the Americans pass around the gold trophy and pose for the pictures before quietly filing out of the room. Since that famous tie in South Africa in 2003, the Americans have won by at least three points every time. Only one of them, in 2005, was close. International players talked about the importance of making a contest out of this exhibition, and only a 7 ½-4 ½win in singles made it feel that way at the end. “We kept it very interesting today,” Scott said. “We gave it a good shake.”

side lane, feinted a pass and slipped the puck under Lack. Backlund scored on a breakaway off a T.J. Brodie stretch pass at 11:26 of the second period. He deked Lack and shovelled a backhand by the Vancouver goaltender’s outstretched pad. Giordano scored his first goal of the season and team-leading fourth point on a long wrist shot which beat Lack top shelf at 14:32 of the first. Booth earned his 200th career point deflecting a Jason Garrison shot from the blue-line low past MacDonald’s stick at 4:47 of the first for a 1-0 Vancouver lead. Calgary hosts the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. The Canucks are at home to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.
RDC: Hunger Despite the loss, Keeper wasn’t about to be overly upset. “We know where the bar is set,” he said. “They could once again be the best team in the league and we know what we have to do to beat them. Getting a chance to face them early in the season is good. We’ll have a bit of hunger plus we know where we have to improve.” Former Edmonton Oil King Michael Piluso opened the scoring at 7:47 of the first period, against a screened Barnstable while Liam Darragh had the other NAIT goal at 15:22 of the second period. Both netminders finished with 27 saves. The Kings face the Grant MacEwan University Griffins in a home-andhome series this week — Friday at 7:15 p.m. in Penhold and Saturday in Edmonton. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Cornish runs all over Bombers STAMPEDERS’ RUNNING BACK CLOSES IN ON OWN RECORD WITH 208 YARDS RUSHING IN WIN OVER BLUE BOMBERS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Stampeders 38 Blue Bombers 11 CALGARY — Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish has ample opportunities to upgrade his own CFL record. With four games remaining in the regular season, the New Westminster, B.C., native is less than 50 yards from bettering his single-season rushing record by a Canadian running back. Cornish ran for a pair of touchdowns and a career-high 208 yards in Calgary’s 38-11 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday. At 1,415 yards, Cornish overtook Saskatchewan’s Kory Sheets as the CFL’s leading rusher. Cornish set his record of 1,457 yards in the final regular-season game of 2012. He bettered Norm Kwong’s mark of 1,437 that had stood for 56 years. The 28-year-old said he won’t reach the personal goal he’d set for himself this season — and Cornish did not reveal that number — because he missed one game due to injury. Cornish is still motivated to see how how far past last season’s total he can go. “The mark I was aiming for, I won’t be able to get there, but I’ll try and see how far I can get,” he said. “I want to see what I’m capable of. That’s why I play this game, to push my body to the maximum.” Maurice Price and Marquay McDaniel had touchdown catches for the Stampeders, who topped the league and the West Division at 11-3. Rene Paredes contributed three fields goals to reach a career-high 41 this season. Will Ford scored on a 100-yard kickoff return for Winnipeg. Kicker Sandro DeAngelis, a former Stampeder, made one of two field-goal attempts in front of an announced crowd of 26,293 at McMahon Stadium. Calgary’s Rob Maver and Winnipeg’s Mike Renaud traded punt singles in the second quarter. Stampeders quarterback Kevin Glenn improved to 7-2 in starts this season with 320 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Glenn was relieved by Drew Tate with 11 minutes remaining in the game. Tate threw his first passes in a game since July 7 when he injured his

He completed three of four passes for 41 yards. Winnipeg dropped to 2-12. Quarterback Max Hall completed 15 of 34 pass attempts for 147 yards. He was intercepted once. Montreal’s 47-24 victory over Edmonton earlier Saturday further dimmed the Blue Bombers playoff chances. An Alouettes win over Winnipeg next week would eliminate the Blue Bombers from contention. The Stampeders totalled 623 yards on offence to Winnipeg’s 290 and earned twice as many first downs at 28. “Sometimes you have a bad day,” Bombers coach Tim Burke said. “I think talent-wise, they have the best offence in the league. We weren’t very
assignment-sharp against the run and then we missed a bunch of tackles.” The Stampeders finished 7-1 against East Division opponents this regular season. Calgary’s remaining games are in the West Division and those games will determine playoff positions. The Saskatchewan Roughriders and B.C. Lions, both 9-5, have already secured playoff berths along with Calgary. The Stampeders host the Lions on Friday followed by games against the Edmonton Eskimos, Saskatchewan and the Lions again in the finale. “We knew the last month of the season was going to be for all the marbles,” Calgary head coach John Hufnagel said. “It’s nice going into that fourgame stretch with a two-game lead,
but anything can happen over the next month. “We play good football teams and we have to get ready to play good football week in and week out, which will help us get ready for playoff football.” Blue Bombers defensive end Alex Hall and Calgary counterparts Charleston Hughes and Cordarro Law ranked first to third in the league in sacks respectively, but Law recorded the only one of the game. Paredes, the CFL’s special teams player of the month for September, was good from 46, 14 and 35 yards in the game. DeAngelis missed an attempt from 48 yards in third quarter, but made a 15-yarder in the first quarter.
Eskimos’ playoff hopes wiped out in loss to Alouettes CFL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Alouettes 47 Eskimos 24 EDMONTON — The CFL playoff picture is a lot clearer. Arland Bruce and S.J. Green each reeled in a pair of touchdown passes as the Montreal Alouettes pretty much eliminated Edmonton’s chances of catching them for a cross-over playoff spot through the East Division, crushing the Eskimos 47-24 on Saturday. It was the second consecutive win for the Alouettes, who improved to 6-8. “Any win is big for us this year,” Bruce said. “We’ve let a lot of wins get past us. We lost some games that we should have come out on top of. To get back-to-back wins is good for us. We can’t stop here, though. We have to keep going and piling up the wins.” Alouettes quarterback Josh Neiswander, who threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns, said it was good to essentially remove the Eskimos from their rear view mirror. “It’s nice to have the breathing room,” he said. “We knew that this was a big game for both teams. Winning certainly gives a bit of space but we still have a lot of work to do. “Any time you can get a win, whether against the first place team or the last place team, it is big for confidence. You can tell that in our locker room right now. Just getting a win of any kind was big for us.” Edmonton (3-11) would need to win its remaining four games and to have Montreal lose its final four
games to even have a shot at playing in the postseason. It was pretty obvious that even Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed considered that chance as tantamount to slim or none. “It was really disappointing,” he said. “I apologize to our fans that we didn’t give them the kind of season they deserved. That’s a personal apology. It’s extremely disappointing that we have played this way today, again.” The Eskimos failed to get on the scoreboard on their first drive when Hugh O’Neill missed a 47-yard field goal attempt, and Montreal showed them how it was done. Brandon London started off a rapid drive with a 54-yard catch-and-run play, eventually setting up a diving six-yard catch in the end zone by Green on a pass from Neiswander to put the Alouettes up 7-0 five minutes in. Edmonton marched back into the Montreal zone, but again came away with no points as quarterback Mike Reilly was picked off by Jerald Brown at the Montreal nine-yard line. The Alouettes quickly took advantage as a 62-yard passing play to Bruce set up a 22-yard TD pass as Green caught a Neiswander pass, dropped the ball, but picked it up again before plunging across the goal line with three minutes remaining in the opening quarter. The Eskimos finally got on the board just before the end of the first quarter as a 45-yard one-handed catch by Adarius Bowman set up a 24-yard O’Neill field goal to make it 14-3. It also broke a run of 47 unanswered points scored against the Eskimos heading back to their loss last week to Toronto. Montreal was full value for its third drive as well, as Troy Smith capped off a competent march with a one-yard TD run. The Edmonton comedy of errors continued with
just under five minutes to play in the second quarter as Chris Thompson picked off a Neiswander pass, only to then fumble it and see the Als come away with the ball at the Edmonton 33-yard line. It led to a 37-yard Sean Whyte field goal and a 24-3 lead for Montreal. The Alouettes padded their lead to 31-3 before the intermission as Mike Edem picked off Reilly and brought the ball back 38 yards to the Edmonton 12. That play set up a six-yard TD pass to Bruce. Edmonton gave the hook to Reilly in favour of backup Jonathan Crompton to start the second half. Reilly playing in the game at all was a controversial decision, as he was coming off a concussion in his last game against Toronto. A Montreal punt single was the lone scoring play in the third quarter. The Alouettes went up 39-3 early in the fourth quarter on a 21-yard pass to Bruce, who went up and fought the ball away from defender Eric Samuels. After another punt single by Montreal, Edmonton finally got into the end zone as Crompton hit Shamawd Chambers with a 31-yard touchdown pass to make it 40-10. Chambers caught his second touchdown pass of the game from six yards out with four and a half minutes remaining as the Eskimos had some late success with the game already out of reach. Edmonton continued to make the game look closer than it was as Joe Burnett intercepted a pass and took it back 56 yards, setting up a seven-yard TD pass to Fred Stamps with three minutes left. Montreal officially put the game away with a seven-yard TD run by Tyrell Sutton with a minute and a half left. The Eskimos head to Saskatchewan to face the Roughriders next Saturday. The Alouettes next game is at home against Winnipeg on Monday, Oct. 14.
U.S. youth sports organizations teaming up to form coalition to address concussion issues Some of the United State’s largest youth sports organizations are forming an alliance to address concussions. The National Sports Concussion Coalition will partner with concussion experts and athletic medicine professionals to establish best practices for diagnosing and treating young athletes. Coalition members also will, among other things, share findings from their sportspecific concussion research, pool financial resources for joint studies and co-ordinate outreach programs to educate athletes and parents about concussions. “As is often the case, you’re stronger collectively than individually,” US Lacrosse chief executive Steve Stenersen said Sunday. “There is understandable concern about this injury nationally. We want to make sure that concern is appropriately addressed but doesn’t dissuade kids from playing sports.” Coalition members are the National Council of Youth Sports, Pop Warner Little Scholars, Sports Concussion Institute, US Lacrosse, US Youth Soccer, USA Hockey, American College of Sports Medicine, Amateur Softball Association/USA Softball, USA Basketball, USA Football and the Datalys Center for Sports Injury Research and Prevention. Coalition partners are the NCAA, NFL,
‘THE COALITION WILL TAKE THE RESEARCH AND BASICALLY BE A LIBRARY OR DEPOSITORY WHERE WE CAN COMPARE NOTES AND ESTABLISH BEST PRACTICES.’ —JON BUTLER POP WARNER FOOTBALL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
NFL Players Association and National Football Foundation. The coalition started discussions earlier this year and held a planning session in September. Organizers said its underlying purpose is to enhance participation in sports by providing a safer playing environment. Organizers said representatives of the coalition and its partners would meet regularly. Tony Strickland, who heads the Sports Concussion Institute, said as many as 60 million U.S. youngsters play sports. He said it’s nearly impossible to determine how many sustain concussions because many go undiagnosed. The number of sports- and recreation-related emergency room visits for traumatic brain injuries, including concussions, was estimated at 248,418 for people ages 10-19 in 2009, the most recent year data was available, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Overall there were about 2.6 million sports injuries treated in ERs for that age group.
Strickland said youth sports have never been safer. He attributes that to growing awareness about the dangers of concussions, better methods of diagnosing and treating concussions and state laws that mandate a young athlete not be allowed to return to play until he or she is cleared by a medical professional. For as much progress that has been made, Strickland said, a lot remains unknown about the effects of concussions on all people but especially youngsters. Pop Warner Football executive director Jon Butler said his organization has conducted its own studies on concussions and, as a result, altered rules governing the amount of contact allowed in practices. Butler said he’s certain the other youth sports organizations would value Pop Warner’s research, just as he would value theirs. “The coalition,” he said, “will take the research and basically be a library or depository where we can compare notes and establish best practices.”

Queens capture home tournament BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Queens 2 Broncos 0 The RDC Queens roster was at full strength in the final of the Wild Rose Classic volleyball tournament Sunday, which proved to much for the Olds Broncos. The Queens, with both Brooke Sutter and Karissa Kuhr back in the lineup, rolled to a 25-13, 25-12 victory over the Broncos to win their second straight tournament. The previous weekend the Queens defeated the University of Calgary Dinos to win the Battle of the Rockies in Cranbrook, B.C. “Both Karissa and Brooke had first degree sprains and they could have played all weekend if needed,” explained Queens head coach Talbot Walton. “But we tried to rest them early, then split them up for both matches yesterday (Saturday), so they wouldn’t put to much strain on their ankles and would hopefully be ready for today.” Kuhr played in a 25-23, 25-22 win over Lethbridge College Kodiaks in the quarter-finals Saturday, and Sutter was in for a 25-16, 25-19 win over the SAIT Trojans in the semifinal. “I expected they’d both be ready today as they’re tough and would play with broken ankles if they needed to,” said Walton. “It’s nice to have them both on the floor. It seems we’re steadier and more sure of ourselves when they’re out there. We know what is going to happen when we set the ball to them and you can tell there’s a comfort level for the team to build on.” Sutter is one of the premier defensive players in the Alberta Colleges Women’s Volleyball League, which certainly helped as the Queens made few defensive mistakes against the Broncos. “We weren’t overpowered by many balls. We took their best. Maddi (libero Maddi
Quinn) was outstanding. She covers so much and this year she’s playing responsibly, not trying to play outside of herself. And her range is getting bigger and bigger every day.” Walton indicated he was a little worried heading into the final. “Olds have some big kids, who are very athletic. But we knew at some time in this tournament we’d find some competition and we had to stand up for ourselves. We got lots of games in Cranbrook and hoped to bang out a good performance in the Wild Rose.” Broncos head coach Chris Wandler would rather have won, but indicated the match may be good for his team. “We needed to see where we’re at and we do have some work to do to compete with the top level. It’s good to get our rear end kicked at times to motivate the girls to get back into the gym and work to get better.” The Broncos have 10 players back from last season with seven newcomers. “That’s a difference between this year and last,” said Wandler. “Last year we’d have athletes on the floor and couldn’t make changes. This year we have backups who can come in when needed.” The Broncos reached the final by defeating The Kings University College Eagles 2514, 25-27, 15-11 and the RDC Alumni 25-27, 25-20, 15-5. The Alumni, who beat Concordia University College 2522, 25-16 in the quarter-finals, took third place with a 25-18, 27-25 win over SAIT. Dinos 3 Kings 2 CALGARY — The RDC Kings dropped a 16-25, 25-23, 15-25, 26-24, 12-15 decision to the University of Calgary Dinos in the final of the Mount Royal University men’s tournament Saturday evening. “It was a little disappointing as we led 10-7 in that fifth set, but we made a few mistakes and they didn’t,” said Kings head coach Aaron
Blacquiere leads Queens over Rustlers BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Queens 5 Rustlers 0 When RDC Queens head coach Dave Colley lost star striker Paula Dadensky to the University of Alberta this season he was desperate to find a replacement. Kayla Blacquiere stepped into that role. Blacquiere, who started the season on the outside, moved into the striker position and has turned into one of the leading scorers in the Southern Division. She notched a pair of goals Saturday as the Queens downed the Lakeland College Rustlers from Lloydminster 5-0 in Alberta Colleges Women’s Soccer League action at RDC, giving her six goals in eight games. “Things have been going well for me . . . I’m glad to be back at striker,” said Blacquiere. “They started Celine (Jensen) at striker, but they switched her to the wing and it’s working out for both of us. “I was in a dry spell early on, so it’s nice to get out of it.” Blacquiere, a native of Lacombe, attended RDC last year, but didn’t play. “I wanted to take the year off, although I played some in the women’s league and a little rec soccer,” she said. She got back into the swing of things this year, playing the first half of the season with the Red Deer Renegades of the Alberta Major Soccer League. “It was good to prepare me for the college season, plus I played the wing and got the feel for the ball.” The Queens needed Blacquiere to come on board this season as they have only four veterans. “I’ve been really impressed now well we’ve come together and bonded as a team,” she said. “You can really see the difference from the beginning of the season.” Blacquiere looks back at a win at Lakeland as a major turning point to the season. “That was the first time we really came together,” she said. “We were in shape and our passing was very good.” Jensen also scored Saturday, her third of the season,
while Nicole Silveira and Tatiana Aspillaga had the other goals. Jesse Stewart recorded her fourth shutout of the season and lowered her goalsagainst-average to 1.25. “Everyone is scoring for us, which is what we need,” said Colley. “We don’t need to rely on just one player.” “That takes a lot of pressure off me as well,” said Blacquiere. The win gave the Queens a 4-2-2 record and left them tied for second with Lethbridge, who is 4-3-2 and behind Medicine Hat, 8-1. “This was a big game for Lakeland as they needed this to keep their playoff hopes a live,” said Colley. “So we knew they would come out strong. We got up 1-0, but it was the second goal that sealed it for us. (Kaitin) D’Arcy made an excellent pass to Jensen for the goal. In fact our whole front line played well. As well Jesse was solid in goal. She made three or four excellent saves.” Rustlers 3 Kings 1 The Kings saw a chance to move into first place in the men’s South Division take a hit when they dropped a 3-1 decision to the Rustlers. The loss left RDC with a 5-3 record with Lethbridge sitting at 5-2-2. Medicine Hat is third at 4-2-3. “I was happy with our first half, in fact we dominated play,” said Kings head coach Steve Fullarton. “We had a lot of chances, but their goalie (Kyle Bensen) made a number of excellent saves.” The teams were tied 1-1 at the half with Mark Ibbotson notching his fourth goal of the season for RDC. The winning goal turned out to be a bit of a lucky one, according to Fullarton. “Our goalie (Rayden Beveridge) lost the ball in the sun and it deflected off the post,” he said. “That changed the momentum. Overall we didn’t play well in the second half, although just before they scored their third goal Jeremy Gopal had an excellent chance to tie it.” RDC doesn’t return to action until Oct. 19 when they visit SAIT. They conclude their regular season Oct. 20 at home against Olds. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

The Seahawks (4-1) lost their first regular-season game since last Nov. 25. Delano Howell scored on a 61-yard return of a blocked field goal for Indy (4-1). Luck led his ninth career fourth-quarter comeback by going 16 of 29 for 229 yards, beating Russell Wilson in their first matchup.

Brady had thrown a touchdown pass in 52 straight games, second-longest in NFL history behind Drew Brees. The Patriots were held out of the end zone for the first time since a 16-9 loss to the Jets on Sept. 20, 2009. CHIEFS 26, TITANS 17 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jamaal Charles scored a 1-yard touchdown with 6:23 left, and the Chiefs rallied to keep up their perfect start. The Chiefs (5-0) are off to their best start since 2003, when they won their first nine games. This win came despite blowing a 13-0 halftime lead in this early AFC showdown between these surprising teams bouncing back after losing seasons. The Titans (3-2) couldn’t have been more out of synch in the first half with Ryan Fitzpatrick starting for Jake Locker, sidelined with his sprained right hip. He missed his first five passes and went three-and-out on his first five series before guiding Tennessee to 17 straight points in the second half. Charles put the Chiefs ahead to stay, and they intercepted Fitzpatrick twice in the final 6:14. Ryan Succop kicked four field goals, including a 48-yarder. RAVENS 26, DOLPHINS 23 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Justin Tucker kicked a 44-yard field goal to put

Ryan Tannehill completed a 46-yard pass to Brandon Gibson on fourth down to keep Miami’s hopes alive, but Caleb Sturgis then missed a 57-yard field goal attempt wide left with 33 seconds to go. The Ravens (3-2) bounced back from a loss last week at Buffalo and won on the road for the first time this season. The Dolphins (3-2) lost their second game in a row. Baltimore moved 34 yards to set up Tucker’s game-winning field goal, his fourth of the day. The Ravens ran for a season-high 133 yards, and Joe Flacco threw for 269 yards. PACKERS 22, LIONS 9 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — James Jones caught a long touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers, and the Packers defence contained the undermanned Lions. Mason Crosby kicked five field goals. The Packers’ offence struggled to get into the end zone until Rodgers found Jones on an 83-yard completion down the left sideline for a 16-3 lead late in the third quarter. It provided enough of a cushion for a defence that had the luxury of facing the Lions minus star receiver Calvin Johnson, out with a knee injury. Penalties also bogged down Detroit. The Packers extended their winning streak in Wisconsin over the Lions to 23.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS
Pirates edge Cards to take series lead BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pirates 5 Cardinals 3 PITTSBURGH — Pinch-runner Josh Harrison stood on second base in the bottom of the eighth inning and pointed to Pittsburgh Pirates third base coach Nick Leyva. “I told him to get that arm ready, because I’m coming,” Harrison said. Moments later, Harrison was streaking across home plate to give the Pirates the lead. Minutes after that, the Jolly Roger that’s been a fixture on the Pittsburgh skyline all summer climbed up the flagpole again. Harrison scored on Pedro Alvarez’s tiebreaking single Sunday, sending the Pirates to a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals that staked Pittsburgh to a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five NL division series. Russell Martin followed with a sharp RBI single against reliever Kevin Siegrist, who took over after Carlos Martinez (0-1) faltered. The go-ahead single was the latest big hit by Alvarez. He homered in the first two games against St. Louis and is 4 for 10 with four RBIs in the series. Alvarez also kept the Pirates’ famous flag flying high in October. “Raise the Jolly Roger!” is the rallying cry for this wild-card team, now one victory from its first post-season series win since Willie Stargell, Dave Parker and the “We Are Family” gang won it all in 1979. “We’re continuing to surprise a lot
of people, I believe. We’re continuing to show people that we’re not done, that we’re not just happy to be in the post-season,” star centre fielder Andrew McCutchen said. “We’re fighting to win a World Series.” Heady territory for a franchise that had endured a record 20 consecutive years of losing coming into this season. Six months later, the Pirates are on the cusp of knocking out baseball royalty. Mark Melancon (1-0) picked up the win despite allowing Carlos Beltran’s tying home run in the top of the eighth. Jason Grilli worked the ninth for a save. Charlie Morton is set to start for Pittsburgh in Game 4 on Monday against rookie Michael Wacha. Beltran finished 2 for 3 with three RBIs. His 16th playoff home run moved him past Babe Ruth for eighth place in post-season history. “It’s a must-win tomorrow for us,” Beltran said. “Hopefully we can come here tomorrow, take care of business, win and go play the last game at home.” Beltran’s shot temporarily silenced a rocking crowd at PNC Park. It also set the stage for another dramatic win by the Pirates. McCutchen led off the eighth with his second hit, a double to left. But the NL MVP candidate unwisely tried to advance on Justin Morneau’s grounder to shortstop and was an easy out at third. Harrison ran for Morneau and moved up when Marlon Byrd walked.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny turned to a lefty in Siegrist to face the left-handed Alvarez. The Pittsburgh slugger tied for the NL lead with 36 homers during the regular season, but hit just .180 against lefties. “I just knew it was going to be a tough matchup,” Alvarez said. “I’ve seen him a couple of times before. I haven’t had much success. He’s a pitcher with good stuff — great stuff. He threw me a couple of fastballs out over the plate.” One too many, as it turned out, and Alvarez singled between first and second. Martin then fouled off a squeeze bunt before lining a hit to left that gave Grilli more than enough cushion. The game was a rare nail-biter between two clubs that spent the summer shadowing each other in the race for the NL Central title. Coming into Sunday, only five of the previous 21 matchups between the two were decided by two runs or less. After blowouts by each club in St. Louis, there wasn’t much room to breathe in front of a frenzied, blackclad crowd looking for a repeat of Pittsburgh’s giddy 6-2 romp over Cincinnati in the wild-card game last Tuesday. Martin’s sacrifice fly off reliever Seth Maness in the sixth gave the Pirates a 3-2 lead and turned the game over to Pittsburgh’s “Shark Tank” bullpen, one of the keys to the franchise’s first winning season and playoff berth in a generation. Tony Watson worked around a one-
out single in the seventh before giving way to Melancon. The Cardinals must win two straight to advance to the NL championship series for the third straight year. “We’ve been in this situation,” Beltran said. “Last year, I think we were in this situation a lot. So I think we’re fine, man. We want to come here tomorrow, we want to win and hopefully take this series home.” Pirates starter Francisco Liriano dominated the Cardinals during the regular season, going 3-0 with an 0.75 ERA in three starts against the NL’s highest-scoring team. He was electric against the Reds last Tuesday, shaking off a sinus infection and baffling them with a series of changeups and sliders that ended Cincinnati’s season and manager Dusty Baker’s tenure. Liriano narrowly escaped damage in the third Sunday when Matt Holliday lined to right with the bases loaded. The left-hander wasn’t quite as fortunate in the fifth. Jon Jay led off with a single and Pete Kozma followed with a walk. After pitcher Joe Kelly struck out trying to bunt, a double steal set up Beltran’s two-run single. At 2-all, the Cardinals had matched their entire output against Liriano in their previous 28 innings. Liriano was matched nearly pitch for pitch by the unflappable Kelly. The 25-year-old right-hander has been rocksteady all season, even as he moved from middle reliever to starter in July.
Dodgers overcome rocky start to rout Braves, take series lead BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Carl Crawford hit a three-run homer, Juan Uribe added a two-run shot and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Atlanta Braves 13-6 on Sunday night for a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five NL division series. Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig each had three hits and scored three times on a big night at the plate for the Dodgers, who matched a franchise record for runs in a post-season game. Brooklyn beat the New York Yankees 13-8 in Game 2 of the 1956 World Series. Los Angeles can advance to the NL championship series with a victory at home in Game 4 on Monday night. Ricky Nolasco pitches for manager Don Mattingly’s Dodgers against veteran Freddy Garcia. Crawford made the play of the game when he tumbled head over heels at the low retaining wall in left field and onto his head to catch a foul ball in the eighth. The speedy leadoff man also scored three times, including once in the eighth when the Dodgers made it 13-4.
Chris Capuano won in relief of ineffective rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu in a game that took 4 hours, 1 minute. Los Angeles rallied in the third to regain the lead for good after Atlanta tied it in the top of the inning. After that, the Braves didn’t manage much besides Jason Heyward’s two-run homer in the ninth. By then, it was way too late. Atlanta starter Julio Teheran and Ryu both made inauspicious post-season debuts in the first matchup of rookie pitchers in the playoffs since 2007. Neither stayed around long. In addition to being shaky on the mound, Ryu made two major mistakes in the field before giving way to Capuano, who spent most of the season in the rotation before moving to the bullpen. With the Dodgers owning a six-run lead in their first home playoff game since 2009, fans waved their blue souvenir towels with one hand and made chopping motions with the other in mocking Atlanta’s trademark tomahawk chop. Teheran took the loss, giving up six runs and eight hits in 2 2-3 innings. The 22-year-old right-hander struck out five, walked one and threw a wild pitch. Ryu allowed four runs and six hits in three in-
nings, becoming the first South Korean-born pitcher to start a post-season game in the major leagues. Despite his rookie status, the left-hander brought a wealth of experience from his native country in becoming the first player to go from the Korean Baseball Organization to the majors. Besides his seven seasons in the KBO, he had pitched in the 2009 World Baseball Classic at Dodger Stadium as a reliever. Atlanta got to him with two runs in the first during another of Ryu’s typically slow starts. Capuano came on to strike out three and walk three in three hitless innings. Braves reliever Alex Wood gave up four runs — none earned — and three hits in 2 1-3 innings. Los Angeles extended its lead to 10-4 with four runs in the fourth. Ramirez had an RBI triple for his sixth extra-base hit in three post-season games, tying the club record set by Steve Garvey in four games of the 1978 NL championship series. Puig added an RBI single and Uribe followed with a two-run homer on the first pitch he saw from Wood. The Dodgers regained the lead 6-4 in the third on RBI singles by Adrian Gonzalez and Skip Schumaker. Ryu was lifted for a pinch-hitter later in the inning.

MOORE William John 1939 - 2013 It is with heavy hearts that the family of Bill Moore announces his passing on October 3, after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 74 years. Bill was born and raised in the Red Deer area and spent his life farming in the Ridgewood and Burnt Lake districts. He has experienced many changes and advances in farming technology over his lifetime, but he will always hold a special place in his heart for his antique machinery; most notably his tractors and combines, which he loved to share with his family. Bill also fondly drove the school bus and coach for Prairie Bus Lines, Frontier Bus Lines, as well as the Innisfail Legion Bus for over 32 years. He leaves to mourn his wife Vi of 49 years; three children, Shelley (Peter) Lawrence, Cindy (Don) Fraser, Craig (BJ) Moore; seven grandchildren, Shayne and Matthew Lawrence, Bryanne (Jason) Rose, Brittney and Brice Fraser, Tristan and Dillon Moore; two great-grandchildren, Tiffany Rose and Maximus Fraser; four siblings, Gwen Pixley (Bob Reid), Dennis (Angie) Moore, Maxine (Gary) Stuart, Marjorie (Dennis) Campbell; as well as numerous extended family and close family friends. He was predeceased by his parents John and Leola Moore, and father and m o t h e r - i n - l a w, P e t e a n d Annie Hollman. Funeral Services will be held at the Sylvan Lake Memorial Presbyterian Church, 5020-48th Street Sylvan Lake on Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 1:30 P.M. with interment in the Burnt Lake Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy memorial donations may be made in Bill’s name to the STARS Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service Foundation or the Red Deer Regional Hospital Unit 32.

ter their circumstance. A screening can be a helpful way for those struggling with depression to receive the help they need. We encourage our readers to visit HelpYouselfHelpOthers.org. If you or someone you know is in suicidal crisis or emotional distress, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273- TALK (8255). Dear Annie: My granddaughter is having a destination wedding in Hawaii, where she lives and works. I live on the East Coast, and so do all of the other family members. Going to Hawaii would mean a long, expensive trip, plus the cost of a hotel and meals. What is the protocol concerning gifts in lieu of attending this high-cost wedding? — Grandma’s Not Going Dear Grandma: Etiquette says the wedding gift should be the same regardless of your personal expenses. But we understand that people often give more or less depending on what it costs them to attend. We only ask that you keep in mind the fact that as the grandmother, any gift from you will
have special significance. Dear Annie: I wanted to thank you for printing my letter years ago. I asked what to do about my two sisters who were not speaking to each other, yet one secretly sent Christmas presents to me to give to the other. I signed it, ‘Tired of Being in the Middle.’ You told me to stop enabling them and instead offer to mediate. That was a relief. I was honest with both of them. They still don’t want to meet, but now I don’t have to lie about the presents. I am friendly with both and willing to keep each up to date on what the other is doing. I recently took a vacation with one sister and told the other about the adventures we had. I simply refuse to let this feud force me to choose sides. Thanks. — Not in the Middle Now Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
