Hell no, we won’t GMO! Vendors praise setup MARKET EXPERIMENTED WITH CLOSURE OF PART OF 43RD STREET BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF
parents’ lifetimes.” Nelson says cancer, autism, diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease rates among other diseases are all rising dramatically. Red Deer’s event was not organized by a group, she said. “We are just likeminded citizens who are concerned about toxins in our environment and toxins in our food. “We’re concerned that our government is letting this become part of our food supply.”
A sharp chill in the morning air and pumpkins on fruit and vegetable stands were sure signs the Red Deer Public Market season was drawing to a close. “It was a really good year,” said Patrick Moffat, who runs the market with father, Dennis. “We had probably one of our best years ever.” The market set a new vendor record over the summer, with 256 showing up to shop their wares one Saturday, Moffat said. Weather also co-operated, with only two or three “suspect days” and none so bad to scare away shoppers. A new experiment this year, closing off a portion of 43rd Street to vehicles during the 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. market seemed to go over well. “It took some of the congestion out of the one part in front of the arena,” he said. It also created a safer environment along the street. Moffat said he’d like to see the road closed again next year, but that decision will be made after market organizers do their usual post-season review with the city and RCMP.

About 40 demonstrators took to Red Deer’s Streets on Saturday as part of a worldwide protest against genetically modified seeds.
PROTEST CHALLENGES SAFETY OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF About 40 placard-waving demonstrators took to Red Deer’s streets on Saturday to draw attention to activist claims about the dangers of genetically modified foods. Food giant Monsanto was singled out for its role as a leading producer of genetically modified seed in the protests held in more than 50 countries worldwide. In Canada, about 4,000 people gathered in Vancouver and protests drew crowds in many other cities
across the country. Red Deer organizer Mara Nelson said the goal is to keep genetically modified organisms (GMOs) out of the food supply. “We want to keep our seeds safe,” said Nelson. “Our pollinators are decreasing at such a rapid rate that they are not going to be able to recover and we rely on our pollinators for over 40 per cent of the foods we eat daily. “There are too many pesticides, herbicides and fungicides being put on our foods. And with that come along an increase in disease we’ve never seen before in our lifetimes or our grand-
Aviation society looking for space to restore biplane BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF When a vintage Tiger Moth biplane trainer was donated to the Harvard Historical Aviation Society, the offer came with a challenging catch. The plane had to fly again. Fortunately, the society has just the people trained in the art of covering the wooden skeletons of old planes with the hardened fabric that preceded the days of stressed aluminum skins. “We were very thrilled with this type of donation,” said society president Jodi Smith. “We have people who are ready to go and get it flying.” The biggest obstacle now is to find a place to do the work on the 70-plusyear-old plane, which was largely re-

stored by longtime Sundre Flying Club member Alf Bicknell before he passed away in 2012 at the age of 84. What is needed is an empty bay or some other similar space where society members can work their magic and turn the disassembled plane into flying history. A suitable workshop is planned as part of the society’s goal to build a restored H-Hut as a museum at Springbrook, but that project is still a few years off. Fundraising is well underway for that $300,000 project. H-Huts were easy-to-build structures named for their distinctive shape that housed thousands of airmen who came to Penhold to train as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during the Second World War.

Governor General to visit China to promote investment BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Gov. Gen. David Johnston will serve as the sharp end of a political stick that the Harper government is pointing at China this coming week, amid renewed concern that Chinese investment in Canada is drying up. Within hours of delivering Wednesday’s throne speech in Ottawa, Johnston will be on a plane bound for the People’s Republic for his first official visit as Governor General. Johnston’s China travels will also overlap with visits by two top Conservative cabinet
ministers: Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver. And it will come just a week after Trade Minister Ed Fast wraps up his fourth visit to China. Johnston said he will meet with China’s newly-installed leaders, including President Xi Jinping and premier Li Keqiang. Johnston said he was upbeat about the prospect of promoting the government’s Asia-focused economic agenda — and pushing the yardsticks forward on four decades of Canada-Sino relations. “(It) has developed well over the last 40 years, perhaps not as quickly as some would have liked,” he
said. “But I think we’re at an important hinge period where we can see some important changes in the future.” Johnston will address the powerful Canada China Business Council’s annual general meeting in Beijing a few days after his arrival. And he said he knows energy and investment will be top of mind. China is hungry for natural resources and Canada is eager to oblige, but there are serious obstacles, including mixed messages about whether Canada is really open to foreign investment from so-called state-owned enterprises.
STORIES FROM PAGE A1
MARKET: Operators will review the season Sherry Grodecki was manning her Young Living Essential Oils table on 43rd Street on Saturday and said it was a good year. She liked the new configuration, which allowed vendors to see people as they left the parking lot and headed to the market. “You met a lot of people and made a lot of contacts,” she said. Nearby, Dan Deacon, of Vernon, B.C.’s Deacon’s Farm Market, also believes the new setup is worth keeping. “Yes, I think so, because growth is good and they’re growing the market.” Deacon, who was located inside the market last year, said sales were down a little although he’s not sure it’s because of this new location on 43rd. He didn’t have extra employees helping him this year, which may have been a factor, he said. Another vendor, who identified herself only as Cindy, believes the streetside vendors will see more business as the public gets used to the new setup. Her business selling jams, jellies and handmade toques did pretty well, she said. “I’m satisfied. Of course, everyone wants to make a million,” she said with a laugh. There was one very real bonus of the street location, she said. “It’s warmer out here.” This was the first year at Red Deer’s market for Edmonton couple Don Charnaw and Karen Samuels, who were selling the Juice Plus, a whole food-based product that provides nutrition through 17 different fruits, vegetables and grains. “It’s been fantastic for us,” said Charnaw, who said the couple intends to return next year. The only drawback is the commute. “I’m not so sure it’s worth getting up at 4 o’clock, but it’s worth the drive,” he joked. Brad McConnell, of Summerland, B.C.-based McConnell’s Orchard Products, said the street location made it easier to pull in his truck and park. “The only thing I don’t like about it is you have take down faster, so you’re in a rush,” he said, explaining the vendors on the road have to make sure they are cleared away before the road re-opens. Moffat said that is one of the issues they will be looking at as they review the season. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Big crowds took advantage of the beautiful fall morning to do some outdoor shopping. Ave., returning to the park by Gaetz Avenue. Monsanto is not the only company involved but it is the main target because it is the biggest contributor of genetically modified organisms and is also seen as the main government lobbyist to ensure their products are approved. Nelson said the company has been buying out other seed producers, which reduces the pool from which “safe” seeds can be purchased by those who don’t want genetically modified products. A spokesperson for Monsanto could not be reached on the weekend. But the company’s website addresses concerns raised about GMOs. It says that the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Society, among others have reviewed GMOs. They have all come to the same conclusion: that “consuming foods containing ingredients derived from GM crops is safe to eat and no riskier than consuming the same foods containing ingredients from crop plants modified by conventional plant improvement techniques (i.e. plant breeding).” Health Canada’s website says that genetically modified foods are only approved after a detailed scientific assessment that examines how the food was developed right down to the molecular level.

BIPLANE: Hope to have it up in the air soon Once a suitable work space can be found, Smith hopes to have the plane up in the air in a year or two. The Tiger Moth was donated by Bicknell’s family on the condition it be restored to airworthy status and flown to the Sundre Fly-In Breakfast in memory of the well-known area pilot. In his flying career, Bicknell flew more than 25,000 hours in 87 different types of aircraft and was well-known in aviation circles. Hundreds of Tiger Moths were built as elementary trainers to give prospective pilots their first taste of flying. Bicknell’s Tiger Moth spent most of its life at the Elementary Flight Training School in Bowden. “It’s quite nice that it’s connected to the area,” said Smith. During the Second World War, pilots would start there and then gradu-

ate to the Airspeed Oxford, a metalskinned, two-engined trainer that was used at the Flight Service Training School in Penhold. While it was not the usual ride at Penhold, a pair of Tiger Moths were sent to the base for use as utility planes, according to society research. Penhold was closed after the war, but reactivated in the 1950s during the Cold War when Harvards became the training plane of choice. Meanwhile, the society is busy putting together some historic displays to draw attention to the society and its museum plans. An exhibit will be set up at the Circuit Cafe at Red Deer Airport and another will likely go to the Penhold Library at the Multiplex. Work is also nearing completion on a ¾-scale Tiger Moth the society is building as a display. And a Second World War Jeep is being restored by a Penhold-area historical enthusiast. The society will also be getting a T-33 jet trainer from the Alberta Aviation Museum in Edmonton. The plane would have been the next step for pilots who had completed their Harvard training at CFB Penhold and fits in with the society’s goal of saluting the area’s air training heritage.

Alberta won’t seek extradition of sex offender MICHAEL STANLEY CUT OFF MONITORING BRACELET, FLED TO UNITED STATES BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EDMONTON — The Alberta government won’t ask the federal government to seek the extradition of a convicted sex offender who police say fled Canada for the United States. A spokesman for Alberta’s justice department said in a statement on Saturday that although Michael Stanley has a criminal record of violent offences, the charges he is currently wanted for aren’t severe enough to justify asking American authorities to turn him over. “Mr. Stanley is not currently charged with any offences of violence in Canada,” Dan Michael Stanley Laville said in an email Saturday evening. “The charges currently against him do not typically warrant engag-

BRIEFS Hobbema boy, 15, found dead RCMP are investigating after a 15-year-old Hobbema boy was found dead on Samson Cree Nation townsite on Saturday. The youth has been identified as Teagan Johnson, of Samson Cree Nation. He was found about 8:45 a.m. after police and ambulance crews responded to a call of an unresponsive male lying in an open area of the reserve. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The site has been secured by police and an RCMP investigation is underway. An autopsy has been scheduled for today. Anyone with information is asked to contact Maskwacis RCMP detachment at 780-585-4600 or by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www. tipsubmit.com.
ing the extradition process. We advised our federal counterparts of the decision (Saturday) afternoon.” Police have been trying to track down Michael Stanley since Oct. 1 when the electronic monitoring bracelet he was wearing was cut off. The bracelet was found on the roof of a business in Lloydminister, which straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary. An arrest warrant was issued for Stanley on charges of breach of recognizance, mischief and driving offences. Police issued a public alert describing the Edmonton man as an untreated, violent sex offender posing a significant risk to the community. Concern over Stanley prompted several schools in west-central Saskatchewan to lock their doors after RCMP received several unconfirmed sightings of Stanley, but on Oct. 7, police in Lethbridge, Alta., found his vehicle in the city and warned the public that he could be in the area. Police subsequently said that Stanley had managed to cross into Blaine, Wash., south of Vancouver, but they said they were “confident” of his location and they had notified U.S. authorities. However, the U.S. Marshal’s office said Friday
it wasn’t tracking Stanley and was unaware of his whereabouts. Jack Williams, acting deputy chief of the U.S. Marshal Service in Seattle, said Stanley is not wanted by American authorities and without a Canadian extradition request there was little his office could do. U.S. officials told the Associated Press on Friday that Stanley was allowed across the border after his records were checked. He may have had a U.S. passport, because he is an American citizen, William said. A court order required Stanley to wear the ankle bracelet because of his previous criminal record, but removing it would not justify seeking extradition, Laville said. “This order required him to wear an ankle bracelet and is not a criminal charge and cannot ground an extradition. The only charges Mr. Stanley current faces relate to the removing of his bracelet,” Laville said, but added authorities on the border will be on the lookout should Stanley decide to return. “If Michael Stanley returns to Canada, we are prepared to prosecute him and to ensure that he continues to be subject to an order to protect the public.”

You can still eat the fish DESPITE FUKUSHIMA, SCIENTISTS SAY WEST COAST FISH IS SAFE Following Japan’s devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami, fear spread about risks of leaked radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant — for the health of those living in or near Fukushima or involved in cleanup efforts, and for the planet and the potential DAVID impacts on our complex marine SUZUKI food web. Shunichi Tanaka, head of Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority, told reporters that radioactive water has likely been leaking into the Pacific Ocean since the disaster hit. It’s the largest single contribution of radionuclides to the marine environment ever observed, according to one report. With 300 tonnes of contaminated water pouring into the sea every day, Japan’s government finally acknowledged the urgency of the situation in September. Social media is now abuzz with people swearing off fish from the Pacific Ocean. Given the lack of information
SCIENCE
around containment efforts, some may find this reasonable. But preliminary research shows fish caught off Canada’s Pacific Coast are safe to eat. It will take about three years from the time of the incident for the radiation plume to reach the West Coast, which would be early next year. Recent testing of migratory fish, including tissue samples collected from Pacific bluefin tuna caught off the California coast, assessed radiation levels and potential effects on marine food webs far away from Japan. Trace amounts of radioisotopes from the Fukushima plant were found, although the best available science puts them at levels below those naturally occurring in the environment around us. Natural, or background radiation, is found in many sources, including food items, medical treatments and air travel. The most comprehensive health assessment, by the World Health Organization, concludes radioactive particles that make their way to North America’s waters will have a limited effect on human health, with concentrations predicted to be below WHO safety levels. More reports are in the works. The UN agency charged with assessing global levels and consequences of ionizing radiation will present its findings to the UN General Assembly
this month. This is where we may find answers about the amount of radioactive material released, how it was dispersed and any repercussions for the environment and food sources. The ocean is vast and dynamic with many complexities we don’t fully understand. It appears two currents off Japan’s coast — the Kuroshio Current and Kurushio Extension — diluted radioactive material to below WHO safety levels within the first four months of the disaster. Eddies and giant whirlpools, some tens of kilometres wide, continue the dilution and will direct radioactive particles to coastal areas for at least two decades. Fish from the water near the crippled plant are not faring so well. High levels of cesium-134, a radioactive isotope that decays rapidly, were found in fish samples there. Radiation levels in the sea around Japan have been holding steady and not falling as expected, further demonstrating that radiation leakage is not under control. At least 42 fish species from the immediate area are considered unsafe for consumption, and fisheries there remain closed. New concerns continue to arise. While the initial leak contained cesium isotopes, water flowing into the ocean from the plant now appears to be higher in strontium-90, a radioactive substance that is absorbed dif-
ferently. While cesium tends to go in and out of the body quickly, strontium heads for the bones. A huge accumulation of radioactive water at the plant must be dealt with immediately. Determining the full effects of years of exposure to lower levels of radioactive contamination leaking into the ocean will take time and require continued monitoring and assessment. While Health Canada monitors radionuclide levels in food sold in Canada, and one of its studies incorporates samples from Vancouver, we need to remain vigilant and demand timely monitoring results. Any amount of leaked radiation is harmful to the planet and the health of all species, including humans. A major release of radioactivity, such as that from Fukushima, is a huge concern, with unknowns remaining around longterm health risks such as cancers. That doesn’t mean it’s unsafe to eat all fish caught on the Pacific West Coast. I’m taking a precautionary approach: fish will stay part of my diet, as long as they’re caught locally and sustainably, and will remain so until new research gives me pause to reconsider.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Debt numbers misrepresented The article published in the Advocate on Thursday, Oct. 10, City debt slightly lower at $199.M, quoted myself in a letter I sent to the editor that made me sound like I had no idea what the debt numbers were. The letter was sent back in January and the numbers I used were based on information released from City Hall at the time. They were not my numbers. Let me clear this up. The $258 million figure was the 2012 year-end assessment as to what Red Deer’s year end debt will be at the end of 2013, this was and still is available online in page 34 of the CFO 2013 capital plan. The $241 million year end was a re-assessment that was done in April. The $260 million year-end assessment was done within council chambers during the Aug. 20 mid-year budget review at the 2:19:30 point, and backed up with the advocates own article Regional Transit service to go ahead. Furthermore the article depicts Red Deer’s tax supported debt as 32 per cent, which would mean that currently only $64 million was tax supported. However, the 2012 annual report depicts Red Deer’s tax supported debt as $111 million. Only $7 million was paid off between January, and June. Even if every dollar went to tax-supported debt repayments, that would still place Red Deer at a 52 per cent tax supported debt, 20 per cent higher than the article’s depiction. I have never been off on the debt numbers I present and have always been transparent at providing any information I can. Calvin Goulet-Jones Red Deer
Who’s blowing in whose ear? Right. Red Deer First says it has no ties to Wildrose or the Manning Centre (Advocate, Oct. 5, 2013.) We are asked to believe that renting signs from the Wildrose Party, thus helping to pay for them, is a neutral, inconsequential act. Believe further: the wife of a Wildrose official is running on the Red Deer First ticket is some sort of coincidence. It’s all just neighbourly grassroots dedication. Question: Why did Red Deer First not rent, and thus help pay for, signs from the NDP, Liberals, Alberta Party, Green Party, Social Credit or anyone other than Wildrose? Red Deer First’s anti-tax, anti-government, indifferent-to-the-environment and related policies betray their associations just as well as a cheque in their bank account or Preston Manning blowing in their ears.

decisions and yet candidates were being asked to do just that with no room to support or provide rationale. At no point was I as a candidate given the opportunity to defend my position. A simple yes/no or kneejerk choice of where to slash or cut services says little for the seriousness of the position and responsibilities given a city councillor and mayor. In my opinion, the Red Deer Advocate survey can too easily be misinterpreted and misused. I would hope that the newspaper would at least preface their publication to encourage voters to consider the limitations it presents. Dawna Morey Red Deer
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign! Red Deer is a beautiful city — except at election time. I am quickly growing weary of all the election signs that currently pollute our major streets and avenues. Not only is all of this signage unsightly but it is yet another driver distraction along with phones and texting. I wonder how much real effect the signs have on our ballot choices? I do hope that after the election is over, the candidates will reuse or recycle all the materials used. Congrats to those who didn’t use them at all. There are better ways to get the message out.

Municipal election is pivotal As the MLA for Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, as well as the Official Opposition Municipal Affairs critic, I am writing today to encourage all local residents to vote in the upcoming municipal election, Oct. 21. Your local government, be it urban or rural, is the government you are most likely to interact with on a daily basis. Municipal employees plow your roads and municipal councils approve development in your neighbourhood. As such, municipal government should also be the most responsive to your input. Serving as a mayor for much of the past decade, as well as serving on the board of the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association, I can tell you that this year’s election comes at a pivotal time for many regions across our province. The past decade has seen steady growth, as hundreds of thousands of our fellow Canadians have come to Alberta seeking the opportunity our economy provides. Municipalities have been and will be tasked with ensuring our communities remain on a fiscally prudent path in the face of these growth pressures. Wise councils will recognize the opportunities and costs that come with this continued growth and adjust accordingly.

Canada restarts funding to deal with cluster bombs Canada faces heavy international criticism for the bill that it has tabled in Parliament that would ratify the Convention on Cluster Munitions, or CCM. It contains a provision that would allow the Ca-
nadian Forces to be involved in the use of cluster bombs in joint operations with the United States, which has opted out of the convention. The bill fell into limbo in June when the House of Commons adjourned.
Participants at a major international meeting of states parties to the cluster bomb convention last month in Zambia renewed calls on the government to amend the bill and close the loophole.

Clinton met Phongsavath Manithong, who lost both his hands and was blinded by a cluster bomb on his 16th birthday in February 2008. Phongsavath told The Canadian Press in a lengthy interview at the centre earlier this year that his country needs more financial help to assist victims of cluster bombs. “We need more help from the American government. They are a rich country. That’s not enough to help the disabled people, the survivors.” Canada is a signatory, but has yet to ratify the international treaty that seeks to ban cluster bomb use.

OTTAWA — Canada is planning to answer a plea by the tiny South Asian country of Laos and restart funding to help it cope with its infestation of deadly cluster bombs, The Canadian Press has learned. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird is to announce a $1-million contribution, to be managed through a United Nations agency, during a trip to Laos on Tuesday. Canada cut its funding to the international effort to help clear cluster munitions from Laos in 2012, after contributing more than $2 million between 1996 and 2011. The announcement comes after The Canadian Press travelled to Laos this past spring to document the country’s chronic cluster bomb problem, a modern-day legacy of the Vietnam War. In a series of interviews in the normally closed communist country, senior Laotian government officials urged Canada to return with whatever financial support it could offer to help with its annual $30-million international effort to clear the unexploded ordnance, known as UXO. Laos is the most cluster bomb-contaminated country in the world on a per capita basis. American B-52 bombers dropped two million tonnes of bombs on Laos over nine years, including 270 million fist-sized bomblets, 80 million of which failed to explode. The small, brightly coloured submunitions, known as bombies or bomblets, continue to litter the country, injuring and maiming innocent civilians, often children. There are an estimated 12,000 cluster bomb victims and their families living in Laos, Vietnam’s tiny landlocked neighbour of six million people.
Baird is to announce the renewed Canadian funding in Vientiane, the Laotian capital, at a government-run health and rehab facility called the Cope Centre that also contains a small but powerful museum that describes the cluster bomb problem. Sources familiar with the details surrounding the announcement say Baird will announce $500,000 each for two UXO clearance operators based in Laos. They are the Britishbased Mines Advisory Group, and the country’s own homegrown clearance operator, UXO Lao. The $1 million will be administered through a United Nations Development Program trust fund. The deputy director of UXO Lao had effusive praise for Canada’s past funding of the sector during an interview earlier this year, but was one of several officials urging Canada to restart funding. “Maybe there’s some other internal issue the Canadian people con-

B.C. construction industry turns to Ireland to fill jobs their apprenticeship system is excellent, they’re looking for work and we need workers,” she said. But the province’s labour leaders aren’t as excited as Fulton about the expo. “There are British Columbians and Canadians that probably could do those jobs,” said Tom Sigurdson, executive director of the British Columbia and Yukon Territory Building and Construction Trades Council. He said skilled, unionized workers are available, but some companies don’t want to hire union workers, so they turn to other sources. Sinclair also ques-
tioned why businesses are turning to the Irish who he alleged are ending up as indentured workers, especially if they are coming to Canada on temporary visas. “A guy . . . who owns a business, a construction business, said to me, ‘I like Irish workers because they have to work for me for two years and can’t quit.’ I mean and I’ve had that said to me by other employers, too,” said Sinclair. The provincial government and labour leaders, including Sinclair, announced in September they’ll develop a joint strategy to fill jobs arising from the LNG sector. Fulton said she thinks
the problem begins in high school. Most school districts have de-emphasized shop classes and have promoted university during the past few decades, said Fulton, noting the trades have been used as a “last option” for students who can’t “make the grade.” “The real challenge I think is convincing youth and their parents that trades is the way to go,” she said. “We’ve got to really put a lot of focus in that area and try to make sure that young people in high school today recognize this opportunity before they get out of high school and decide to go to university.”

The current shortage of skilled tradespeople in Western Canada is so dire that the B.C. Construction Association is returning to Ireland this month to hire 600 people, said the group’s vice-president. In fact, even if onein-five students graduating from high school in B.C. during the next three years were to pursue a trade, there still wouldn’t be enough workers to fill shortages in the province’s construction industry, said Abigail Fulton. Not everybody agrees with the recruitment drive, especially the province’s labour leaders who argue employers can find skilled, unionized Canadian workers to fill immediate, vacant positions. Yet, a consensus is developing that there will be a shortage of skilled workers in the coming decade, as proponents of the liquefied natural-gas industry, hydro-electric projects and oil and gas pipelines push their proposals forward. “There’s lots of evidence to suggest we’re not doing enough to train construction workers in skilled trades in British Columbia, and if even half these projects come through we’re going to have a crisis unless we start now to deal with the problem,” said Jim Sinclair, president of the BC Federation of Labour. The provincial government’s own statistics indicate there will be more than one-million job openings over the next decade, and more than 153,000 of those will be among trades, transport, equipment operators and related occupations. Retirements will be responsible for twothirds of the vacancies, and new economic growth will be behind the remaining third, states the British Columbia Labour Market Outlook 2010-2020. In the B.C. construction industry, about
address the impending labour shortage and offers an accelerated pathway to permanent residence for eligible skilled foreign workers, international graduates, and qualified entrepreneurs and their family members who intend to settle in B.C. The trip won’t be the first for the association, which made its first visit in March 2012. Fulton said the association learned the Irish apprenticeship system was one of the best, and skilled trades people would be able to transition to Canada and earn their Red Seal, an interprovincial standard of excellence in the trades. She said the association also learned there was an abundance of trades’ people. The Irish economy crashed in 2008 and still hasn’t recovered, and last year’s job expo drew 20,000 people, she said, adding unemployed tradespeople lined up outside the job fair, down the street and around the corner for as long as two days. “Listen, these folk are over there, we know

30,500 jobs were expected to go unfilled by 2012, according to the association’s own statistics. To address some of the problem, the association is organizing and hosting the Western Canada Construction Job Expo Oct. 31 in Belfast and Nov. 2 in Dublin, where it will represent about 30 employers, half of them from B.C., said Fulton. Wanted will be workers in more than 50 construction trades, from bricklayers to framing carpenters, power-line technicians to welders. Even architects and structural engineers are in demand. Two employees of the provincial nominee program, which allows the B.C. government to nominate individuals to immigrate to Canada, will attend, said Skills Training Minister Shirley Bond in an email statement. “Our staff will be providing seminars on working, living and investing in B.C., and will provide important on-the-ground expertise and advice on immigration matters,” she said. Bond said the program is critical in helping B.C.

GLENN TURPLE LOGS MILLIONTH MILE AS MOTORCYCLIST
FRONT Red Deer College will honour scholarly work done by members of its faculty on Wednesday. Laura Davis, Robin Lambert, Larry Reese, Brandi Robinson, Roger Davis and Dale Wheeler have been selected by the Recognition of Scholarly Activity committee as this year’s awards recipients. The winners will briefly describe their work, which ranges from articles to visual arts projects to a solo piano recital tour, during the presentation. Refreshments will also be served. The celebration gets underway at 4:30 p.m. at Cornerstone Dining, also known as room 1500 on campus. p.m. The college and the faculty association created an annual fund of $10,000 in 2006 to recognize significant scholarly undertakings by faculty members.
CASH RAISED FOR RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE A group of students in the nursing unit clerk program at the Donald School of Business have raised $3,040 for the Ronald McDonald House through a class-based community project. The group’s goal was to raise enough money to prepare one meal for the guests of the home, but the students far surpassed that target with the help of corporate sponsorships and the selling of pies and other food products. Bianca Hughes, a member of the group, said along with the meal, gift cards, clothing, diapers, baby items, toys, DVD players and more were purchased for guests of the facility.
CORRECTIONS ● A story in Thursday’s Advocate failed to mention the names of two Red Deer city council candidates, Tanya Handley and Calvin Goulet-Jones. Both Handley and GouletJones participated in the candidates forum on construction and development at the Red Deer Lodge. They are among 30 candidates who are running for eight spots on city council in the Red Deer municipal election. ● A letter to the editor in Friday’s Advocate had an incorrect date. The proposal presented to the Riverside Meadows Community Association was presented in the spring of 2013. The letter from Shirley Hocken was questioning Red Deer candidates about how they would approach the province to repurpose the sites of two city nursing homes that were closed four years ago.

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Sometime last week on his way into work, Glenn Turple hit one million miles on the back of a motorcycle. There was no fanfare. No champagne corks popped. No confetti. But the 85-year-old behind Red Deer’s well-known Turple Brothers motorcycle dealership admits it was a satisfying achievement. “Oh yeah. It’s just the thought of doing it,” he said, in an office at Turple Brothers, where he still works four days and one night each week. Turple hopped on his first bike as an 18-year-old farm boy in Olds. It was a 350 Panther. It came in a crate from England, was put together in Saskatchewan, and was sent out to Olds by train. On that farm, he and younger brother Rex, started selling motorcycles as a sideline in 1949. They moved to Red Deer in 1956, a “booming city of 13,000,” he recalls. The dealership started in an old 1901 house and grew, expanding 17 times before they opened their present 46,000-square-foot outlet in Gasoline Alley in 2000. Turple has ridden dozens of motorcycles over the years and logged tens of thousands of kilometres a year. He can still effortlessly rhyme off some of his journeys from more than 60 years ago. In 1950, he rode to Los Angeles. The following year it was Boston, New York and New Hampshire and 13 other states in a journey of 6,600 miles (10,560 km). It was not uncommon for him to log more than 25,000 miles (40,000 km) a year.

Now riding a Honda Goldwing Trike, Glen Turple figures he has reached the million-mile mark riding motorcycles. As recently as two years ago, he logged 9,000 km in three weeks on a trip that took him through Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama. He began carefully recording his miles early on. It was common for motorcycle club members to do that, with bragging rights going to the one with the most miles in a year. So his records for his bikes are pretty good. The only guess work he has had to do involves distances on bikes he borrowed or used through the shop. In all that riding, he’s never had a serious accident. “I did pretty good that way.
I’ve never broken a bone in my life.” He’s made a few small concessions to age. He converted his Honda Gold Wing, which he rides to work almost every day, into a trike in 2004, although he still rides two-wheelers on occasion. Winter has never slowed him down. He simply pulls on a heated suit and takes the 18-km route he mapped out to work. The lure of motorcycling has remained the same his whole life, he said. It’s a chance to get out in the fresh air and experience a journey
“I grew up on a farm with horses and tractors. I just like to get out and go.” Hitting the road was also a release when he was younger and the brothers were working endless hours to turn their business into a success. “When I was working really hard, working long hours, just getting on the bike and getting in the open air was a form of relaxation for me.” How long will he keep riding? “I’ll ride as long as I’m physically able to,” he said with a smile. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com
Inferno danger makes impression BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Judging by the gasps from the crowd Red Deer Emergency Services made their fire safety point on Saturday. The lesson — don’t pour water on a grease fire — was demonstrated in spectacular fashion. One can full of water dumped by firemedic Josh Mah using a long pole for safety was enough to create a huge fireball that turned the demonstration into an inferno in little over a minute. “That surprised me,” said Jonathan Landaverde, 10. When confronted with a grease fire he will reach for a cookie sheet or lid to cover the flames, he said. No water for him. Daylen Stoller, 11, was
amazed at how quickly the fire engulfed the kitchen and left an armchair scorched down to its springs in minutes. He too will not be leaving any grease unattended on the stove, and definitely won’t douse a fire with water. The demonstration didn’t only make an impression on the youngsters present. Stoller’s grandfather Dwayne Sluggett also came away with a new appreciation for how fast a small grease fire can turn serious. “I thought it was amazing how fast the fire took off once you hit it with water,” he said. “I’m surprised that guy didn’t get a little burned himself,” he said, of Mah, who was quick to step back after dumping the water. The fire prevention open house drew hun-

Fire-medic Josh Mah demonstrates what happens when you pour water on a grease fire at a Fire Prevention open house at Station 1 on Saturday. dreds from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Youngsters got a chance to check out the ambulances and fire trucks and there were free burgers, face painting and other activities. Fire prevention officer Shane Dussault said the event is all about reminding people about the simple things they can do to keep their loved ones safe.
Number one: make sure smoke alarms are in place — and operating. “It’s such an obvious thing. But we go to so many fires where the smoke alarms are taken down.” Often, people disconnect them because they go off so often because they are too close to cooking areas or bathrooms, where shower steam sets them off.
Dussault said people just need to place them in a better spot or can go to photoelectric versions that are less sensitive to steam. When it comes to cooking, the motto is “Stand by your pan.” Most house fires in North America are started by cooking pots and pans left unattended, he said. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com
Collector rockin’ with petrified prize BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF
ROCK AND GEM SHOW
Dennis Pendergast left Lacombe’s rock and gem show with a 15-kilogram chunk of petrified wood destined for his living room. The heavy equipment operator said he’s been long fascinated by the unusual chunks of rock he’s dug out of the ground at building sites over the years. “I dug a big petrified stump out near Bluffton,” he said. A metre high and as big across, the stump weighs hundreds of kilograms and now sits in his garden. He’s also come across a few chunks of what he jokingly calls “Alberta ocean-front property;” stones laced with dozens of fossilized seashells. His new piece caught his eye because of the unique patterns in the polished petrified wood. “This one looks like it has a bunch of cork in it.” Bernice Allen can trace her love of rocks and gems to her childhood in Hinton. “I’ve been collecting since I was nine years old,” she said. I’d play down at the
creek and bring rocks home.” Four decades later, she’s still collecting and counts fluorite and rose quartz among her favourites. Pendergast and Allen were among an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 rock hounds expected to descend on the Lacombe Mall for the 11 days of the Silver Cove Rocktober Gem and Mineral Show that wraps up on October 20. The twice yearly event is organized by Silver Cove From Rock 2 Gem owners Chris and Melissa Robak, whose shop is in the mall. The husband-and-wife team started their business out of their basement and now are one of the biggest rock and gem dealers in Western Canada. They recently bought an entire warehouse worth — more than 20 tonnes — of rocks and minerals in Hollywood, Calif. “This show has taken off,” said Chris, who estimated by Saturday he had already surpassed the numbers at a recent Calgary show. “Every year it goes up 20 to 30 per cent.” Half a dozen tables were stocked with

thousands of gems, precious and semi-precious stones, fossils and minerals. Carrying exotic-sounding names like ruby kyanite, citrine aragonite, red snake and fancy jasper, some of the larger samples were worth well over $1,000. A 250-kilogram chunk of fluorite was worth $2,500. Those looking for rocks and minerals have many motivations. A large part of the business — about 60 per cent he estimates — is driven by those who believe various stones have healing properties. Catering to that crowd, Rocktober featured 56 different events over the 11 days, including hot rock massage, reiki and ion foot cleansing among others. Some are driven by the bottom line. They see investment in precious stones as a good financial strategy along the lines of those who stockpile gold or silver. Others seek out colourful gems and stones to make jewelry and others just love to collect. “Everybody has some kind of fascination,” he said. “There’s so many different facets to it, so many different angles.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

A8 Joint bank bailout fund touted TUESDAY, OCT. 15, 2013
EUROZONE FINANCE MINISTERS DISCUSS OPTIONS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LUXEMBOURG — Eurozone finance ministers on Monday sought ways to create a common fund to restructure or bail out troubled banks, an effort to keep financial problems in one country from endangering the entire 17-nation currency zone. The ministers’ discussions in Luxembourg were still in early stages, not least because of resistance from Germany and other countries that have paid the bulk of Europe’s rescue programs. The fund would complete Europe’s planned banking union and help restore market confidence, but Berlin and others capitals have concerns about its legal basis and fear their taxpayers will be stuck with bills to clean up messy banks in weaker European economies.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chairs the meetings of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, said Monday’s discussions were meant to make progress on technical details, but not yet to reach an overall agreement. Before the fund can become operational, European countries aim to set up a new banking authority with the power to restructure or unwind bust banks. That is expected to happen once the European Central Bank — in its new role as supervisor for the bloc’s biggest banks — will have analyzed all balance sheets to identify possible capital shortfalls by late next year. Separately, the officials also took stock of the reforms progress made in countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, which have received multibillion bailouts by their European partners and the In-
ternational Monetary Fund. Greece, which has been granted 240 billion euros ($325 billion) in emergency loans, again topped the agenda concerns over a projected financing shortfall of up to 6 billion euros ($8.1 billion) next year, according to ECB executive board member Joerg Asmussen. “We must find a way to close this financing gap,” Asmussen insisted. Asmussen ruled out an idea floated by Greek Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras, who in an interview published Monday suggested the shortfalls could be covered by rolling over Greek bonds held by Europe’s banks and other lenders. “There is absolutely no way that it can be done in a rollover of bonds . . . which results in monetary financing,” Asmussen insisted.

Citizenship for sale to investors ANTIGUA & BARBUDA SEEKS WAYS TO DRUM UP REVENUE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Military re-enactors in the uniforms of U.S. Marines from the War of 1812, march in front of the USS Constitution, moments after the vessel arrived at her berth in Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the ship’s victory over HMS Guerriere in the War of 1812. Historians point out that America has stiffed creditors at least twice before, including defaulting in 1814, when the Treasury was empty, the White House and Capitol were charred ruins, and even the troops fighting the 32-month War of 1812 against the British weren’t getting paid.
Default? What default? CLAIM THAT U.S. TREASURY HAS NEVER DEFAULTED ON A DEBT GOES TOO FAR, HISTORIANS SAY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — You hear a perfect record cited over and over in the debt limit debate: the United States has never defaulted. Better put an asterisk by that. America has briefly stiffed some of its creditors on at least two occasions. Once, the young nation had a dramatic excuse: the Treasury was empty, the White House and Capitol were charred ruins, even the troops fighting the War of 1812 weren’t getting paid. A second time, in 1979, was a back-office glitch that ended up costing taxpayers billions of dollars. The Treasury Department blamed the mishap on a crush of paperwork partly caused by lawmakers who — this will sound familiar — bickered too long before raising the nation’s debt limit. As Congress again tests the limit, Washington could learn some things from its past. But those periods of missed payments, little noted outside financial circles in their day, are nearly forgotten now.
Indeed, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew frequently declares that the United States has always met all of its obligations; a Treasury spokeswoman declined to discuss any possible exceptions. President Barack Obama, reminding Congress of the urgency of raising the debt limit before a Thursday deadline, warned there could be chaos “if, for the first time in our history, we don’t pay our bills on time.” “He doesn’t know his history,” says historian Don Hickey. “It’s that simple.” That kind of omission doesn’t surprise Hickey, who called one of his books, “The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict.” Even Americans who study that war won’t find the failure to pay some bondholders on time in many history texts, said Hickey, a professor at Wayne State College in Nebraska. Naval heroics and the rockets’ red glare tend to get the ink. The narrow lapses of the past don’t compare with the kind of turmoil Lew predicts would occur these days if Treasury couldn’t borrow enough money to pay what it owes to all sorts of people, from
overseas bondholders to retirees on Social Security. If that’s a financial hurricane, the 1979 Treasury bill glitch was more like a draft of chilly air. Still, there are lessons in history: PLAYING WITH FIRE IS RISKY Tea party Republicans weren’t the first to make the debt limit a bargaining chip. Over the years, congressional Democrats and Republicans alike have held it up for strategic reasons. In 1979, it was lawmakers determined to attach a strong balanced budget amendment to the bill. They finally relented, the day before Social Security checks were expected to start bouncing. The tumult contributed to Treasury’s failure to redeem $122 million in maturing T-bills, touted as one of the world’s safest investments. Some investors that April and May waited more than a week for their money. Treasury blamed problems with its newfangled word-processing equipment.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The struggling country of Antigua & Barbuda has joined other tiny Eastern Caribbean islands in selling citizenship to wealthy international investors to drum up revenue, officials said Monday. The twin-island nation of some 90,000 inhabitants started accepting applications last week for its citizenship-by-investment program, which is closely modeled on the one offered by nearby St. Kitts & Nevis. The government hopes to generate roughly $550 million over the next three years by attracting some 1,800 new citizens, who have to spend at least 35 days on the islands during the five-year span an initial passport is valid for. Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer said the revenue will help put the country “on the road to sustainable growth and development.” The nation was slammed by the 2008 global economic crisis and the subsequent collapse of the financial empire of convicted fraudster R. Allen Stanford, who based his Stanford International Bank on Antigua and was once the country’s largest private employer. Spencer called for islanders who are hesitant about the concept to “trust your government.” He said the program “should in no way jeopardize the integrity of the national passport” as critics have asserted. A foreigner can qualify for Antiguan citizenship with a $250,000 donation or with a real estate investment of $400,000. A business investment of $1.5 million can also qualify. There are government processing fees of $50,000 for applicants and due diligence costs for background checks. An Antigua & Barbuda passport holder can travel to some 130 countries with “relative ease and without challenging visa requirements,” according to Zurich-based Henley & Partners, a residence and citizenship planning firm which advised the government on how to set up its program. The strategy is part of a trend in the Caribbean. For years, St. Kitts & Nevis and Dominica have given investors citizenship in return for a real estate investment or significant donation. Grenada is planning to revive a program of its own. “Investor visas” are offered by many nations across the globe, including the U.S. and Britain. But the Caribbean countries offer a very fast path to full citizenship at a relatively low cost. The whole process, including background checks, can take as little as 90 days in St. Kitts, where there’s no need to ever live on the islands, or even visit. Some Caribbean leaders are opposed to the sale of citizenship, arguing that it undermines the integrity of their country’s passport and could dilute national identity. “When you start to sell your citizenship, you will sell anything,” St. Vincent & Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves told reporters last year. In Antigua, Spencer said all applications will be carefully reviewed and he’s confident the program will be rigorously managed. He is required to submit a report to lawmakers in six months on how the program is working.
Graduation creates financial challenges
TALBOT BOGGS
MONEYWISE
The new school year brings into focus the value of getting a good education but also the stark realities that graduates and postgraduates face in finding a job in a tough market, perhaps paying off debt, finding a place to live, starting a career, paying bills and becoming financially independent. While the thought of retirement may be the furthest thing from their mind, this is an excellent time of life for graduates to build a financial plan that will pay off much later. “This is the time in your life when it’s
most important to create a financial plan and start developing discipline when it comes to saving,” said Murray Pituley, director of estate and tax planning with Investors Group. “This will make life much easier down the road as you will have established a solid financial plan that will help carry you through the years.” A recent survey by BMO Bank of Montreal found that Canadian students on average expect to graduate with $26,297 in debt, and expect to pay it off in 6.4 years.

Both options often carry lower interest rates than credit cards do, but remember they are simply replacing multiple debts with one and you should develop a plan to pay it off as soon as possible. Get rid of high-interest retail cards and premium cards and pay down any accumulated debt you may have on them.

Hankook to build $800M tire plant at Clarksville, Tenn.
D I L B E R T
NEW HTC ONE MAX PHONE
WILL CREATE 1,800 JOBS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — South Korean tire-maker Hankook announced Monday that it will build its first North American plant in Tennessee, creating 1,800 jobs. Hankook, the world’s seventh-largest tire maker, said it will build the $800 million facility in Clarksville. Construction on the 1.5 million-squarefoot facility is scheduled to begin by the end of next year, and it will begin making high-end performance tires by early 2016. Seung Hwa Suh, Hankook’s vice chairman and CEO, called the construction of the U.S. plant “the next natural phase for our continued growth.” He told reporters that the decision to build the plant in Tennessee was the result of a year of discussions with state officials, and he cited the central location and existing auto industry as major factors. “Tennessee is the centre of America,” he said. “From a logistical point of view, this is a very good location for us to distribute tires to American consumers.” Nissan, General Motors and Volkswagen have assembly plants in Tennessee, and more than 900 further automotive sector companies are active in the state. Ford, GM and Toyota build vehicles in neighbouring Kentucky. “By supplying to major carmakers, our brand is getting better known in America,” Suh said. The company supplies Ford, GM, Chrysler, Volkswagen,

Toyota, Nissan, Honda, along with Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia. Clarksville is also home to a steel cord plant for Japanese tire maker Bridgestone, which has its Americas headquarters in Nashville. Not all the news has been good for the tire industry in Tennessee in recent years. Goodyear in 2011 shut its plant about 100 miles to the west in Union City, causing 1,800 workers to lose their jobs. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam said officials showed Hankook several locations in the state. “Our first goal, obviously, is to get them to locate in Tennessee,” Haslam told reporters. “At the end of the day, they have to make the call. But we showed them locations throughout the state, including there.” The state offered $72 million in incentives to improve infrastructure, training and a cultural program to help Korean families integrate into the community. Local governments approved another package worth $50 million. Those figures don’t include statutory tax credits that depend on investment and hiring thresholds, or the value of land where the plant will be built. Haslam has warned that Volkswagen’s talks with the United Auto Workers union at its Chattanooga plant could harm the state’s ability to recruit other foreign manufactures to the state. He said the issue came up during talks with Hankook. “It’s fair to say that was a concern of the company,” he said. Ultimately, graduates and postgraduates should consult a financial expert who can help them find smart financing options to help them pay for school and determine whether their goals are achievable and realistic. “When it comes to planning for your future, especially if you are just starting out, it’s best to seek professional advice from an adviser to develop a customized plan tailored specifically to your needs and financial goals,” Pituley said. 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 sectors.
It may sound trite, but spend less than you earn. “Some young people find it effective when setting out a budget to use only cash so you never spend more money than you actually have,” Pituley said. “If you can’t figure out where the money goes, spend one month collecting receipts for all of your purchases to establish what your spending patterns are.” Set some financial goals. Write down what you want to achieve in the next few years and work backwards to find out what you need to do to achieve your goals. And start investing in your future by setting up one or both of a tax free savings account or a registered retirement savings plan.

The new HTC One Max phone is shown. The new HTC One Max will have one feature unavailable with the smaller models: a fingerprint identification sensor similar to that on Apple’s new iPhone 5S. It’s an optional way to unlock a phone without needing a four-digit passcode. With the release, HTC also becomes the latest phone maker to offer its flagship device in three sizes — and, of course, three prices. The Max has a screen that measures 5.9 inches diagonally. That compares with the 4.7 inches on the standard version and the 4.3 inches on the HTC One Mini. With the Max, the layout of selected apps is reformatted to fit more content. “History tells us that mistakes sometimes happen,” Marron said. When Congress keeps Treasury waiting for an increase in its borrowing limit, he said, “the cushion against mistakes gets smaller and smaller.” IT COULD BE WORSE Sure, it’s tough dealing with bullheaded political foes. But at least Washington’s not on fire. The fall of 1814 was bleak. The British had burned the capital city, inspired The Star-Spangled Banner by bombarding Baltimore and blocked trade up and down the coast. Tax revenue plummeted, and the U.S. couldn’t borrow all the money it needed. The War Department ran short of food and medicine. That November, the government didn’t have enough gold or silver in New England to pay bondholders their interest, as required by law. Of course, logistics were tougher than in our electronic era. The Treasury needed to physically transport precious metals to New England. “We always have excuses, don’t we?” Hickey said. “That just doesn’t cut it.” Investors were quick to forgive, however. “The war ended about three months later,” Hickey said, “and so the financial crisis blew over.” COMPROMISE ISN’T EASY Just like today, some politicians in the early 1800s believed their cause too crucial to negotiate. “What you have at the time is a very bitter partisan divide between Federalists and Republicans that was, if anything, more bitter than the divide between the tea party and Democrats today,” said historian J.C.A. Stagg, editor of President James Madison’s papers at the University of Virginia.
“The Federalists thought (Thomas) Jefferson and Madison had ruined the country and had to be stopped,” Stagg said. Angry New Englanders were so opposed to the War of 1812 that their Federalist leaders seriously discussed seceding from the union. They were tagged as disloyal by Americans elsewhere, and that contributed to the party’s downfall after the war. The Jeffersonian Republicans, on the other hand, tried to blame all their troubles on Federalist opposition to the war, said Hickey, “just the way parties always blame their problems on the other side.” NEVER SAY NEVER Instead of claiming the United States has “never” defaulted, it’s safer to say America was born in default. The former colonies emerged from the Revolutionary War deeply in debt. In 1790 the first secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, took the issue in hand. His Treasury assumed responsibility for the states’ debts, offered creditors less than they were owed and borrowed more money to put the new nation on solid financial footing. Other manoeuvres that undercut investors get labeled “technical defaults” by some historians and economists. A leading example is 1933, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the nation off the gold standard amid the bank panics of the Great Depression. The nation’s creditors were paid with dollars of much lower value than the gold they were due. The Supreme Court said the government could do it, but mourned the abandonment of “the solemn promise of bonds of the United States.”

Conservative throne speech marks unofficial start of race to 2015 election OTTAWA — The Harper Conservatives will hit the gas pedal this week in the race toward the next election in 2015. But the opposition parties are vowing to push down hard on the brakes in reminding Canadians about what they call the government’s lapse in ethics in the Senate. In a speech from the throne Wednesday, the Tories will be driving ahead with their jobs and toughon-crime agendas while steering slightly to the left to pick up passengers on the social and consumer issues track. The speech is expected to focus on bedrock Conservative issues — creating jobs and rebuilding the economy — with particular themes targeted at creating employment opportunities and providing job training for aboriginals in the resource sector. But several consumer-friendly measures will also be incorporated into the blueprint document, designed to counter proposals expected from the Opposition New Democrats and Liberals. Those measures are also aimed at turning the attention of voters away from the Senate spending controversy that has seen several Conservative appointees and one Liberal taken to task over their travel and living expenses. The sales pitch will include measures directed at alleviating consumer irritants, such as a plan to force cable and satellite TV providers to adopt a pick-and-pay price model, in conjunction with the bundled channel payment plans they currently offer. The Tories also hope voters will appreciate moves to create an airline passenger bill of rights, designed to compensate people who are inconvenienced when air carriers overbook flights. There will also likely be references to increasing competition in the wireless sector and to capping domestic cellphone roaming fees.
longed detention in Sudan. Abousfian Abdelrazik, who was imprisoned by the Sudanese before being stranded in the Canadian Embassy in Khartoum, put questions to Cannon — now Canada’s ambassador to France — through his counsel during a closed-door examination process, a precursor to trial. Abdelrazik’s lawyer, Paul Champ, says while particulars of the session — which took place in Ottawa last Thursday — are confidential at this point, his client found the experience both cathartic and challenging. “He sat across the table from Mr. Cannon which was, I think, quite a difficult moment for him,” Champ said in an interview. “It was a very powerful moment for him.” Abdelrazik, 51, launched the lawsuit against the federal government and Cannon in September 2009 over his detention and torture due to alleged terrorist ties. He denies any involvement in terrorism.
Autopsy scheduled after sudden death of baby born on floor of Ottawa jail CORNWALL, Ont. — An autopsy has been scheduled this week after a baby born on the floor of an Ottawa jail cell a year ago died in hospital. Julie Bilotta’s lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, says the Cornwall, Ont., woman is “absolutely devastated” by the death of her one-year-old son Gionni. Cornwall police, meanwhile, say they were called to a home around 5 a.m. Sunday after a 13-month-old boy was found without vital signs. They say the baby was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police say the coroner’s office has been called in to investigate the child’s “sudden death,” which is required under provincial rules. Bilotta gave birth prematurely on the floor of a segregation cell at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre in September of last year. The birth took place without the help of a doctor and Bilotta said jail staff didn’t take her seriously when she said she was in labour. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services suspended or fired an undisclosed number of staff involved in the incident.

TORONTO — BlackBerry (TSX:BB) is appealing to its customers to stay with the troubled smartphone maker as it restructures. In an open letter released Monday afternoon on Twitter, BlackBerry tells its “customers, partners
and fans” that they can continue to count on the Waterloo, Ont.-based company. The letter alludes to BlackBerry’s US$965-million loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and possible ownership change, noting they could be a concern for customers. But it says BlackBerry has substantial cash on hand, a balance sheet that is debt free, and is restructuring with a goal to cut expenses by 50 per cent. It also says BlackBerry doesn’t underestimate the situation it faces, and is making “difficult changes” — such as a 40 per cent reduction of its global workforce — to strengthen the company. The open letter also touts BlackBerry’s security measures and notes its system also works with Apple iOS and Android devices. “We are bringing the most engaging mobile messaging platform to all, with our BBM launch for Android and iPhone,” the letter stated. “There are already around six million customers pre-registered to be notified of our roll out.” And the letter also stressed the company’s BlackBerry 10 devices, saying BlackBerry continues “to offer the best mobile typing experience — no ifs, ands or buts about it.”
Feds worried Ottawa transit line will put flagship observatory on the fritz The federal government is worried a light rail transit line being built in Ottawa will cripple a premier scientific observatory and jeopardize a national monitoring network used to track the weather in space, documents show. Natural Resources Canada’s geomagnetic research laboratory is planted in a bog in the city’s east end and keeps tabs on how energy particles thrown off by the sun affect Earth’s magnetic field and technologies such as satellites and GPS navigation systems. But the department is concerned that some more terrestrial interference emitted from the city’s $2.1-billion electric transit line funded in part by the federal government may put the facility on the fritz, an internal memo states. “From observations of magnetic noise at similar facilities internationally, and modelling by NRCan and other groups, suggest that such LRT systems are very powerful sources of low-frequency magnetic noise, and will generate sporadic noise levels sufficient to exceed international standards,” says the document obtained by The Canadian Press under access to information. “Predicted noise will significantly impact observatory operations at Anderson Road and render the calibration facility inoperable at its present location.”

TORONTO — Benedict Cumberbatch sweeps into an empty hotel ballroom, cutting a natty figure in a black-and-white glen plaid jacket, checked shirt and striped canvas sneakers. “I see you have your festival bag,” he says confidingly, taking note of the crumpled Toronto International Film Festival tote at an interlocutor’s feet. It’s a substitute for the one that broke at customs, overstuffed with a laptop and sundry travel necessities. “That’s exactly what happens to me,” he offers enthusiastically. “Because I’m packing all the time. I’m always killing really perfectly good bits of luggage by shoving loads of stuff in them, and then the seams break, handles drop off, you know.” No one can really know what it’s like to be Cumberbatch, who has had a year that has been, well, especially packed. The 37-year-old Brit, who has been a cult heartthrob among the PBS-BBC-plummy-literary-adaptation set, played the Necromancer in last year’s Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. But he truly burst into mass popular consciousness this past summer, when he thoroughly dominated the role of Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. On Oct. 18, he will star as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in The Fifth Estate and has supporting roles in two high-profile films arriving soon: 12 Years a Slave, directed by Steve McQueen, and August: Osage County, adapted from Tracy Letts’s Pulitzer Prizewinning play. “A packed year, exactly,” Cumberbatch says with a reflective sigh. “It’s been amazing. It’s been amazing. But two years really, because Trek we filmed the beginning of last year, and before that — God, it winds back quite a ways. “I mean, literally, just sort of the height of what I could ever imagine myself being asked to do as an actor has been going on pretty much now for about four or five years.” Cumberbatch speaks at a breathless clip, his words spilling out in a joyous, oncoming rush that suggests he really is thrilled to be here, however tempting it would be to read his gee-whiz protestations as the practiced act of a canny ingenue. He is, quite simply — and this is for all those self-proclaimed Cumberb**ches out there who have designated him an unlikely pin-up idol — just as chiseled, engaging, wellmannered and disarmingly modest as they imagine in their wintry, wind-tossed fantasies. He comes by it honestly. Cumberbatch is the son of two actors — Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham — who grew up in London and is as at home in the posh precincts of Burke’s Peerage (an ancestor was a consul under Queen Victoria) as in the klieg-lighted world of Show People. (So how did Cumberbatch end up with his last name? It was his father’s surname; Carlton a middle name turned stage name. So Benedict has simply reclaimed the family name.) But his career has followed contours that even his parents couldn’t prepare him for. He’s done high-profile work in such highly regarded films as Atonement, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and War Horse, as well as on television, in Hawking, Sherlock and Parade’s End.

Explosion hits hotel in Myanmar’s main city, 1 American wounded
It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion in the 22-story Trader’s Hotel. But the incident came after unidentified assailants planted three homemade bombs in and around Yangon in recent days, reportedly killing two people and injuring three others. The blast late Monday blew out a window in the guest’s 9th floor room, shooting shards of thick glass more than 30 metres (yards) into the street, but there were no other visible signs of damage to the exterior of the building. The device apparently went off in the guest’s bathroom, towels, toiletries and a red purse scattered across the entrance way floor. A chair was overturned and part of the wooden wardrobe lifted off its hinges and lying on the ground. A 43-year-old American woman was slightly injured and taken to a Yangon hospital.

Poor effort results in Rebels loss TURN IN PASSIVE PERFORMANCE IN HOME-ICE LOSS TO SPOKANE BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Chiefs 3 Rebels 2 It was a day of reflection for the Red Deer Rebels. Less than 48 hours after turning in a passive performance in a 3-2 home-ice loss to the Spokane Chiefs, the Rebels players showed up at practice Monday and participated in a somewhat light-hearted on-ice session and then one-on-one meetings with the coaching staff. “We actually let the kids have an east/west game today. We did a bit of skating and then we had a bunch of individual meetings,” said Rebels GM/ head coach Brett Sutter, who was visibly distressed following Saturday’s loss at the Centrium. “Obviously I’m not happy with the way certain individuals are playing and I’m not happy with our team play away from the puck. These are things we should have nailed down, especially the veteran guys who have been part of it since last November. We work on these things daily in practice and yet we have letdowns, especially in our own zone, that hurt us.” A lack of discipline has also stung the Rebels. While their penalty killing has been decent in recent games, opposing teams have been able to build momentum off playing with an extra man. Such was the case Saturday when the Rebels and Chiefs were pretty

Red Deer was nailed with a pair of too-many-men-on-the-ice infractions, one in each of the first and third periods. “We’ve been taking some bad penalties,” said Sutter. “There were four minor penalties the other night we should have never
taken and two of them were bench minors from the same line, from not taking the right men when they come on the ice. “That’s not something coaches are responsible for — the players know who they’re supposed to replace, they know their positions, and yet their awareness on the bench isn’t where it should be. It’s a lack of communication. When you don’t talk on the bench you have mistakes like this. These are
Dodgers back in series BEAT CARDINALS FOR FIRST WIN IN NLCS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Los Angeles 3 St. Louis 0 LOS ANGELES — Led by a pair of precocious rookies, the Los Angeles Dodgers got themselves right back into the NL championship series. Hyun-Jin Ryu outpitched Adam Wainwright with seven innings of three-hit ball, and Yasiel Puig tripled home a run to help Los Angeles beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 Monday night in Game 3. Adrian Gonzalez’s RBI double ended a 1-for-17 drought for the Dodgers with runners in scoring position. An ailing Hanley Ramirez added a runscoring hit as Los Angeles handed Wainwright his first post-season loss and trimmed its deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. Game 4 is today at Dodger Stadium, with Ricky Nolasco scheduled to start against St. Louis right-hander Lance Lynn. “The playoffs are oneday momentum swings,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “Right now I feel like we’ve kind of grabbed it.” Los Angeles got Ramirez and centre fielder Andre Ethier back in the lineup after both proved in batting practice they were healthy enough to play. Ramirez wore a lightweight flak jacket to protect his broken left rib — having been hit by a pitch from Joe Kelly in Game 1 — while Ethier has been bothered by shin splints. “What can I say? It couldn’t be better,” Ramirez said. “Really happy we got
mistakes that can’t happen and we’re beating ourselves because of certain things.” The Rebels, with goaltender Patrik Bartosak as their best player, led 1-0 after two periods Saturday on a goal by Wyatt Johnson a mere 30 seconds into the contest. Bartosak turned aside all 28 shots he faced through 40 minutes, but the Chiefs finally solved the 2012-13 CHL goaltender of the year in the final frame, getting a tying goal from Mike Aviani at 8:15 and a go-ahead powerplay marker from WHL scoring leader Mitch Holmberg just 55 seconds later. Defenceman Haydn Fleury pulled the Rebels even at 12:21 when he beat netminder Garrett Hughson with a man-advantage screened shot from the point, but former Rebels prospect Jackson Playfair scored his first of the season at 17:40 to give the visitors the win. “We rebounded tonight after a really poor outing last night,” said Chiefs head coach Don Nachbaur, in reference to a 4-1 loss at Edmonton. “We’re missing a couple of key forwards (Adam Helewka and Liam Stewart) due to injury so we’ve been through some adversity with all the road games early in the season taking a toll on us. “But we worked hard tonight. We competed and got the result. We scored the way we have to tonight. We’re not a fancy team.”

Just come back tomorrow and even up the series.” Ramirez singled his first time up off Wainwright and then helped the Dodgers extend their lead to 3-0 in the eighth. Ramirez hit a soft single off Seth Maness over the head of second baseman Kolten Wong to score Carl Crawford. The speedy Crawford, on second base after a one-out single, rounded third and never stopped running when the throw from the outfield went to second base. On a close play at the plate, Crawford barely beat the tag by catcher Yadier Molina. “We just had a lot of balls in the air tonight that hit the ground that normally don’t,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “We’re a better club than this.” During the rally, retired Dodgers manager
Tom Lasorda, whose 1988 team won the franchise’s last World Series title, stood up and waved his white rally towel to raucous applause. Wainwright entered 4-0 with a 2.03 ERA and four saves in 15 career post-season games, including six starts. He pitched St. Louis past Pittsburgh in the division series, going the distance in a decisive Game 5 last Wednesday. The right-hander tossed seven strong innings this time, allowing two runs and six hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Ryu, however, was even better. The two were nearly even through the first three scoreless innings, with Wainwright giving up one hit. Ryu, who struggled in his first post-season start in the division series against Atlanta, retired 12 of his first 13 batters, yielding only a walk.
Ryu was much improved after lasting just three innings as the first South Korean pitcher to start a playoff game last week against the Braves. He allowed four runs on six hits for a no-decision in a game the Dodgers won. The left-hander didn’t permit a Cardinals runner past second base. David Freese’s single to right leading off the fifth was their first hit of the game. Freese was replaced by a pinch-runner because of tightness in his right calf. He is day to day. Ryu struck out four and walked one. “I was potentially thinking about that this could be the last game I pitch here this season,” the rookie said through a translator. “I just zoned in.”

Washington 4 Edmonton 2 WASHINGTON — Joel Ward, Alex Ovechkin and Troy Brouwer scored goals in less than four minutes of the second period, and the Washington Capitals snapped a three-game losing streak with a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. With the score tied at 1, Ward took advantage of a power play and scored his first goal of the season at 10:06 of the second. Ovechkin added his sixth goal 3:12 later, and Brouwer — during another power play — netted his first 43 seconds after that. Nicklas Backstrom assisted on all three goals, scored 3:55 apart. Brooks Laich scored Washington’s first goal of the game. The Capitals scored four times on 20 shots against Edmonton goalie Jason LaBarbera. The Oilers have given up at least four goals in each of their six games. Boyd Gordon and Will Acton, with the first of his NHL career, scored for Edmonton. The Oilers took a 1-0 lead 9:48 into the game on Gordon’s fourth goal. Justin Schultz recovered a loose puck near centre ice, skated down the right wing and sent a pass to Boyd Gordon, who flipped a shot past goalie Braden Holtby. Just 3:53 later, Laich scored his first of the season when he fired a shot past LaBarbera. Ward gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead one second after Brouwer and Edmonton’s David Perron returned to the ice after they served roughing penalties. Washington had been working with a 4-on-3 power play, and patiently worked the puck in front of the net until Ward scored. Ovechkin was called for interfering with Mike Brown at 12:19 of the third period. A melee ensued with Ovechkin, Brown, the Oilers’ Luke Gazdic and Washington’s Mike Green and Karl Alzner all sent off the ice for various infractions. Acton cut the Oilers’ deficit to 4-2 with 1:42 left in the game. NOTES: Edmonton F Nail Yakupov was a healthy scratch for the second straight game. The No. 1 overall selection in the 2012 draft is pointless in four games. . Washington D John Erskine missed his second straight game because of an upper body injury. ... In the first period, Green collided with the Oilers LW Jesse Joensuu in front of his own bench and tumbled headfirst over the boards. He didn’t miss any ice time. . Ovechkin has nine points in six games.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Hamilton 24 Toronto 18 GUELPH, Ont. — C.J. Gable and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats took a huge step towards securing a home playoff game Monday. The rookie rushed for 118 yards and a TD as the Ticats held on to beat the Toronto Argonauts 24-18 and sweep an important home-and-home series with their arch rivals. Hamilton reached the 8-7 mark through 15 games for just the second time since ’01 and pulled to within two points of first-place Toronto (9-6) in the East Division. The Ticats moved four points ahead of third-place Montreal (6-9), which lost 34-27 to Winnipeg (3-12) on Monday, heading into a crucial homeand-home series the Alouettes. “It means a lot to us, we need this as motivation for the next game,� Gable said “We know we have a good team here . . . some games we show it, some games we don’t but now we’re putting it all together.� But Toronto, which struggled with consistency and penalties all game, made it interesting. Ricky Ray’s 13-yard TD to Jason Barnes cut Hamilton’s lead to six points at 6:43 of the fourth before an enthusiastic season-high Alumni Stadium gathering of 13,362. “These fans were loud as heck,� Ticats quarterback Henry Burris said. “The fact we didn’t have Labour Day, Thanksgiving made up for it in proper fashion, especially with what was on the line with us two being in the top two slots in the East. “The fans definitely rose to the occasion and we’re very thankful for that.� Ray then took over at Toronto’s four-yard line with 4:02 remaining and drove the Argos to Hamilton 37 before being picked off by Hamilton’s Arthur Hobbs in the end zone. That was Ray’s first interception this season. “Just really proud the defence got a turnover at the end of the game,� Ticats coach Kent Austin said. “A couple times this year we’ve not been able to close teams out on that side of the ball but they were able to do that tonight against a really good football team. “Great teams string football games together. They don’t have one good game, then are off for a week then another good game, then off a week. All we focus on now is stringing the next one together.� Hamilton also beat Toronto 33-19 at Rogers Centre on Oct. 4 to clinch the season series 2-1. That earned the Ticats the Ballard Trophy but, more importantly, the tiebreaker should the two finish tied in the standings. Burris was 27-of-36 passing for 350 yards and an interception. Rookie Luke Tasker had seven catches for a game-high 113 yards while Gable added five catches for 46 yards. “We knew at some point they were going to make a run and they definitely did there in the fourth quarter,� Burris said. “But to see our defence go out there and put the game away and make a huge stop when the pressure was on, that gives our team a lot of confidence. “Right now, we’re going after that home playoff game and we’re going to continue moving forward and do what we can to make sure we get a home playoff game at least, then go for first after that.� Ray finished 26-of-34 passing for 303 yards with two TDs and the pick in his first start after missing six games with a shoulder injury. Toronto was 4-2 over that span under sophomore Zach Collaros. But Toronto was lucky to still be within striking distance following a sloppy first half.
Bombers keep playoff hopes alive THE CANADIAN PRESS Winnipeg 34 Montreal 27 MONTREAL — The odds still weigh heavily against them, but the Winnipeg Blue Bomber’s playoff hopes are not dead yet. Max Hall picked up his first CFL win as a starting quarterback and Will Ford caught a touchdown pass and ran in another as the Bombers staved off elimination with a 34-27 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Monday afternoon. Winnipeg’s second win in Montreal in 2013 gave them the three-game season series between the clubs by a 2-1 margin, but they will need to win their final three regular season games and have the Alouettes lose their last three to grab the final East Division playoff spot. “So you’re telling me there’s a chance right?� said Hall. “So we’ve just got to keep playing. All we can control is winning next week (at home Saturday against Toronto) and, if we can do that, we’ll still have a chance.� Clarence Denmark and backup quarterback Jason Boltus also had TDs and Sandro DeAngelis kicked two field goals for Winnipeg (3-12), which ended a four-game losing streak. S.J. Green and Tyrell Sutton scored and Sean Whyte had four boots for Montreal (6-9), which ended a two-game winning run and wasted a chance to clinch a playoff berth. The Alouettes turned the ball over seven times, including three interceptions thrown by starter Josh Neiswander and one by backup Troy Smith. “Anything we’ve improved on, from turnovers to penalties, we did none of today,� said Montreal coach and general manager Jim Popp. “There’s no excuse. We beat ourselves. You’ve got to give (Winnipeg) credit. They didn’t have to come here and play the way they did, but we gave them a lot, too.� The third-place Alouettes can still finish second in the division and host a playoff game as

Roughriders knock Edmonton out of playoff contention Saskatchewan 14 Edmonton 9 REGINA — The dream of hosting a home playoff game is still alive for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Riders’ defensive end Ricky Foley flew over the top on Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly to stop a goal line plunge with barely a minute left on the clock to preserve a 14-9 win Saturday over the Eskimos. The loss was Edmonton’s (3-12) third straight, eliminating the club from playoff contention. For Saskatchewan (105) it meant back-to-back wins for the first time since the Labour Day Classic, and an opportunity to clinch second place in the West Division with a win next Saturday over the B.C. Lions. “I got ahold of (Reilly) and I just didn’t let go,� said Foley. “I told (Tearrius) Geroge to take the legs out. I told him ‘Just cut him and I’m going over the top. “T said, ‘Alright, cool.’ So Tearrius took out the two (offensive) linemen’s legs, went low, and I just jumped over the top, grabbed hold of him and just held on for dear life.� Trailing by five points as the fourth quarter wound down, Reilly hit Adarius Bowman for a 40-yard catch-and-run to the Saskatchewan eightyard line with two minutes on the clock. Reilly then threw to Nate Coehoorn for seven yards, setting up the fateful third-and-one attempt. The Eskimos appeared to have the game in hand when Reilly
plunged over the goal line, but the play was cancelled after Saskatchewan called timeout just prior to the snap. Reilly’s do-over was stopped and the Riders called three rushing plays to run out the clock for the win in front of 35,579 spectators. “Defensively it was really just having the guys settle down and understand what our best call was going down to that point,� said Roughriders’ head coach Corey Chamblin. “Instead of them being in a rush and trying to get lined up, that way it allowed us time to get lined up and run the de-
fence directly.� Edmonton entered the game needing four straight wins combined with four straight losses by Winnipeg to secure a crossover playoff berth through the East Division. Instead the Eskimos will miss the playoffs for the fourth time in eight years since winning the 2005 Grey Cup. “What has happened a lot has been because of our mis-execution, a lot of things that we didn’t do well as a whole, and we are 3-12 because of things we didn’t do well,� said Eskimos’ head coach Kavis Reed.

“I was proud of our guys, with our backs against the wall, to hang in there and get a win. It says a lot about our team going forward.� It was a messy, flagfilled game played mostly on a wet field before 22,853 at Percival Molson Stadium. And it featured four lead changes. The game turned midway through the fourth quarter with Montreal
ahead 26-24 when Hall made the same handoff to Ford on successive plays. The first gained eight yards and the second got 69 as Ford broke clear but was caught by Chip Cox on the one-yard line. Ford then ran in for the score. Before that, the Bombers got little on the ground against the CFL’s best run defence. “That’s a really good defence,� said Hall. “We felt we had a few checks at the line we could hit them with. Obviously, we did a good job executing it and Will found the hole and got loose. That long run he had won the game for us, bottom line.� The loss left the Alouettes 3-5 at home, so they will have a losing record on home turf for the first time since the team returned to Montreal in 1996. “The reality is, there are three games left and if we win out, we’ll be second in our division and host a playoff game — it’s right there,� said Popp. “We know we can beat anybody in the league, but we can’t play down. We’re better than our record, but we didn’t play that way. Today we played to our record and maybe lower. We’ve got to do a better job.�

REBELS: Bartosak hailed Sutter commented following the game that Bartosak’s play was the only reason the Rebels were up 1-0 after two periods. Nachbaur agreed whole-heartedly with the assessment. “He (Bartosak) was real good. I think he frustrated not only myself but my team,” said the Chiefs bench boss. “But we talked about how we needed to beat him in the third period and we went out and did it. “We made a couple of adjustments. We saw no second shots from the 28 we had in the first two periods. Our first and third goals were the direct result of pucks coming off his pads.” The Chiefs did get to rebounds in the final frame, but were also aided by Red Deer turnovers and an obvious lack of intensity from the home side. “That’s why today we wanted to sit down and talk to everyone and get them focused on what they’re supposed to focus on,” said Sutter. “They know it — they recognize that their play isn’t what it should be and for the most part it’s our older players. It’s something that has to change. They have to get refocused and their mindset has to change. “Yet we’re still right there. We’re 6-5 after 11 games and it’s a situation where no team is running away with it. The question is, do we want to continue to hover along with that or do we want to grab the bull by the horns, take charge and start playing to our potential? “The young kids are going to get better and continue to develop as we go along here, but they have to have some positive influences. The older guys have to provide leadership by doing things right.” The Rebels will have overage forward Lukas Sutter (upper body injury) back in gear when they host the Edmonton Oil Kings Friday. Defenceman Kolton Dixon is also a possibility after missing most of the last two games with a concussion. The Calgary Hitmen will visit the Centrium Saturday. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

NLCS: Ryu responds Mattingly came out to the mound accompanied by a translator with two outs in the seventh. Ryu responded by striking out Matt Adams to end the inning as catcher A.J. Ellis pumped his right arm in the air. Fans waved South Korean flags in support of Ryu. Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for a save. Major League Baseball noted on Twitter that the nine combined runs in the series are the fewest ever through three games of a league championship series, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. After the first two games in St. Louis were decided by one run, the Dodgers got to Wainwright in the fourth and took a 2-0 lead. Gonzalez’s double down the right-field line scored Mark Ellis, who doubled leading off. With two outs, Puig tripled off the wall in right to snap his 0-for-11 skid in the series. Puig had struck out seven times before getting his first hit against the Cardinals. The excitable rookie raised his arms and watched the ball sail toward right before starting to charge harder when he realized it wasn’t going to be a home run. He ran into third base and clapped his hands before raising them again as the sellout crowd of 53,940 cheered. “He brings unbelievable energy every day,” Ramirez said. “When we spoke to him, he told me, ‘I got it today,’ and he did. He’s a great player.” Cardinals centre fielder Jon Jay was involved in an apparent miscommunication when the ball hit by Mark Ellis dropped between him and right fielder Carlos Beltran. The Dodgers’ first hit, a single by Ramirez to shallow centre in the first, dropped between Jay and second baseman Matt Carpenter. NOTES: Ethier was 0 for 4 with a strikeout. ... Dusty Baker, Reggie Smith, Ron Cey and Steve Garvey — baseball’s first 30-homer quartet in 1977 — tossed ceremonial first pitches. That Dodgers team won the NL pennant before losing to the Yankees in six games in the World Series. ... Neither team has hit a home run through the first three games.
San Diego 19 Indianapolis 9 SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers kept Andrew Luck on the sideline most of the night, giving the Indianapolis Colts quarterback no chance at another comeback. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Rivers methodically moved the Chargers (3-3) on three scoring drives of at least 74 yards as he rebounded from a three-interception performance in a dismal loss at Oakland. That, and a lot of dropped passes by Colts receivers, kept Indianapolis (4-2) from taking a two-game lead over Tennessee in the AFC South. A week earlier, Luck helped rally the Colts to a 34-28 victory against Seattle. He had no chance against the Bolts because of two long drives in the second quarter that helped contribute to the Chargers dominating the time of possession 38 minutes, 31 seconds to 21:29. Allen got behind safety Delano Howell and cornerback Vontae Davis on a post route for the TD, completing a 12-play, 74-yard march that took 6:14 and gave San Diego a 7-3 lead. It was Allen’s second TD catch of the season.
Novak’s first field goal capped a drive that went 79 yards in 17 plays in 7:58. The drive was kept alive when cornerback Greg Toler was whistled for illegal contact for pushing receiver Lavelle Hawkins out of bounds on third-and-6 from the Chargers 45. Luck then completed four straight passes to move the Colts into Chargers territory before Coby Fleener dropped a pass at the 25. Luck scrambled for 6 yards and threw an incompletion before Adam Vinatieri kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired. On the Colts’ only other possession of the second quarter, Darrius Heyward-Bey dropped what likely would have been a long touchdown pass down the right sideline. Novak also had field goals of 33, 34 and 50 yards, with the final one coming with 1:55 left. Vinatieri finished with three field goals. Chargers cornerback Derek Cox snuffed out Indy’s final chance when he intercepted a pass that was tipped by receiver Reggie Wayne with 1:07 to play. Rivers was 22 of 33 for 237 yards and no interceptions. Luck was 18 of 30 for 202 yards. Wayne got his 1,000th career reception in the fourth quarter. San Diego established its running game with 147 yards. Ryan Mathews ran for 102 yards on 22 carries, his first 100-yard game of the season.

Broncos, Chiefs only undefeated teams BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Looks like the only place for the undefeated is the AFC West. Denver and Kansas City are the last two teams with perfect NFL records after the Broncos beat Jacksonville 35-19 — hardly the margin projected by most — and the Chiefs defeated Oakland 24-7. New Orleans, the NFC’s only spotless team, was handed its first loss by Tom Brady’s sensational last-minute drive, falling at New England 30-27 Sunday. The Saints were primed to also move to 6-0 until Brady reminded everyone, particularly the thousands of fans who already had left Gillette Stadium, why he is so special. His 17-yard touchdown pass to rookie Kenbrell Thompkins with 5 seconds left capped a 70-yard drive in which the Patriots marched downfield with no timeouts after getting the ball with 1:08 to go. It was the 37th game in which Brady led the Patriots to victory from a fourth-quarter deficit or tie. “That was great situational football and a great win against a really good team,” Brady said. “We’re 5-1 and we’re just grinding.” The Broncos actually had to grind one out against the winless Jaguars, who were a record 27-point underdog. Peyton Manning threw for two scores, but lost two fumbles and threw an interception that Paul Posluszny returned 59 yards for a touchdown. Knowshon Moreno ran for three TDs. “People tell me it looks easy. There’s nothing about it that’s easy,” Denver coach John Fox said. “There is resistance out there. It’s called the other team.” Kansas City, tied with the Broncos atop the AFC West,

Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) is sacked by Kansas City Chiefs outside linebackers Justin Houston (50) and Tamba Hali (91) during the second half of an NFL football game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday. has tripled last season’s win total. The defence harassed Oakland quarterback Terrelle Pryor into throwing three second-half interceptions and Oakland (2-4) allowed 10 sacks. In other games Sunday, it was: Green Bay 19, Baltimore 17; Cincinnati 27, Buffalo 24 in overtime; Seattle 20, Tennessee 13; San Francisco 32, Arizona 20; Dallas 31, Washington 16; St. Louis 38, Houston 13; Carolina 35, Minnesota 10; Philadelphia 31, Tampa Bay 20; Pittsburgh 19, the New York Jets 6; and Detroit 31, Cleveland 17.
The weekend began with Chicago’s 27-21 win over the Giants on Thursday night, lifting the Bears to 4-2 and dropping New York to 0-6. Monday night has Indianapolis (4-1) at San Diego (2-3). Off this week were Atlanta (1-4) and Miami (3-2). PATRIOTS 30, SAINTS 27 The visiting Saints (5-1) had taken a 24-23 lead with 3:29 remaining on Drew Brees’ 34-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills, but the Patriots survived an interception by Keenan Lewis on their first snap after Garrett Hartley’s
39-yard field goal made it 2723. BRONCOS 35, JAGUARS 19 At Denver, Manning finished 28 for 42 for 295 yards. It was a two-point game late in the third quarter before Moreno scored his last touchdown, an 8-yard run. Justin Blackmon had 14 catches for 190 yards for Jacksonville. CHIEFS 24, RAIDERS 7 At Kansas City, the Chiefs moved to 6-0 for the second time in franchise history as Jamaal Charles ran for two touchdowns and the Tamba Hali had 3 ½ of KC’s 10 sacks. PACKERS 19, RAVENS 17 At Baltimore, the Packers (3-2) lost receivers Randall Cobb and James Jones to leg injuries, but survived as Aaron Rodgers threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson and Mason Crosby kicked four field goals. BENGALS 27, BILLS 24, OT Mike Nugent’s 43-yard field goal with 6:44 left in overtime won it after he missed a 34-yarder in regulation. SEAHAWKS 20, TITANS 13 At Seattle, Marshawn Lynch ran for two touchdowns and had 155 all-purpose yards, and Richard Sherman came up with his third interception of the season. 49ERS 32, CARDINALS 20 At San Francisco, Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 61 and 35 yards and finished with a career-best 180 yards receiving, leading San Francisco to its third straight victory. COWBOYS 31, REDSKINS 16 Dwayne Harris returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown and set up another score with a 90-yard kickoff return as the
Cowboys handed Robert Griffin III his first loss in his home state. RAMS 38, TEXANS 13 At Houston, the Texans’ woes continued as they dropped their fourth straight. Sam Bradford threw three touchdown passes, St. Louis added a score on defence and one on special teams to move to 3-3. PANTHERS 35, VIKINGS 10 At Minneapolis, Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score. Adrian Peterson finished with 62 yards on 10 carries and 21 yards on three receptions as the Vikings (1-4) trailed the whole game. The NFL MVP learned Friday that a 2-yearold son of his died in South Dakota of injuries from alleged abuse. EAGLES 31, BUCCANEERS 20 At Tampa, Nick Foles threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth. Starting for the injured Michael Vick, Foles finished a long firstquarter scoring drive with a 4-yard run and threw TD passes of 12 and 36 yards to DeSean Jackson, and 47 yards to Riley Cooper. STEELERS 19, JETS 6 Pittsburgh (1-4) got its first victory, coming back from the bye to earn the 600th in franchise history, including the post-season, the fourth team to reach the milestone. LIONS 31, BROWNS 17 At Cleveland, Matthew Stafford threw three of his four touchdown passes in the second half, rallying Detroit. The Lions (4-2) outscored the Browns 24-0 in the second half, sealing their win when Stafford hooked up with tight end Joseph Fauria with 2:01 left. Fauria caught three TD passes for the Lions.
Banner year wraps for Foothills Cowboys Association it. “This really made my year. This is my first title in the Finals, so it’s a definite major confidence booster.” Confidence is absolutely in place for bareback rider Cole Goodine, who’s managed a full sweep of available titles on the amateur trail this fall. The Carbon cowboy won his third FCA title by taking first in three of the four go-rounds, earning 120 points, and $3,000. It was a close race in the calf roping but Curtis Lausen of Strathmore placed in the final round, and in the average, to slip by Dallas McDougall of Bashaw by 10 points, finishing with 100 points and $2,150. Sunday afternoon’s team roping action was electric, with the duo of AJ Sullivan and Quentin Branden the best of a speedy round with an impressive 3.8 second run, likely a new FCA Finals record time. Half of the 10 runs were under five seconds flat. When the dust settled, two teams were tied with 100 points, so it took a rope-off to determine the champion. Katie Waterston and Kelly Buhler of Arrowwood snagged their second steer in 5.7 seconds, giving them
the buckles over Jeff Quam of Madden and his 13-year-old son Grady, who were 6.6 seconds. It also took a run-off to determine the junior barrel racing winner and High River’s Kashley Seitz grabbed that honor, while teen sensation Cooper Zur of Lundbreck made the whistle on all four of his junior bulls, winning on three of them, to take the buckle in that event as well as $2,383. Cameron Brown of Cremona became the boys steer riding champion, while Cass Haudegand of Sylvan Lake earned the novice horse riding title. A last minute donation meant this year’s FCA total payout hit the $100,000 mark for the first time. Association president Dave Clarke saw a big jump in crowds at this year’s Finals, noting the FCA events are growing in popularity not just in Red Deer, but every stop on their circuit. The Association selected Kyle Rock as the FCA Cowboy of the Year and the Family of the Year award went to the Dale and Jill Brown family. Dianne Finstad is a Red Deer rodeo writer

I’m really happy with this one. I just happened to draw two really good bulls in the first rounds and got them covered.” However, Henderson’s Saturday night bull gave him some grief and a hard landing may have done some damage to his right hand. “I broke it back in May, so I think it feels like I broke it again,” he said. “These bulls are a lot bigger and stronger. When you get on junior bulls, they’re all calves and it’s just all moves, no power when you ride them. These ones, you’ve got to fight everything. You’ve got to fight the power and you’ve got to make the moves, so it’s a lot harder.” The sore hand didn’t stop him from getting on his last bull, although he didn’t make the whistle. But he felt the championship effort was worth

LOCAL SPORTS Hoop Kings coach wants better defence HAVE GOOD EFFORT AGAINST LAKELAND COLLEGE BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Kings 84 Rustlers 58 The RDC Kings have enough offence to compete with the best teams in the Alberta Colleges Men’s Basketball League this season. But to be where head coach Clayton Pottinger wants the defending champions to be it will likely come down to defence. The Kings showed a bit of that defensive ability in an 84-58 victory over the Lakeland College Rustlers in the iHotel Fall Basketball Classic at RDC Saturday. “It was a good defensive effort for four quarters, it was our best defence top to bottom all weekend,” said Pottinger. “We’ll continue to work on that, but we’re blessed in that we did a lot of things right, but also still have a lot of things we can work on.” The Kings never trailed against the Rustlers, leading 21-9, 39-30 and 65-41 by quarters. “It was the first time we’ve seen a zone defence this year and it took us a while to get used to it,” said Pottinger, who also rested point guard Lloyd Strickland and forward Dallas Hancox. All 12 players dressed saw a good deal of playing time. “The guys have turned in a lot of hard work and it’s nice to get them some playing time,” said Pottinger. “This is the last week for exhibition games and next week we’re into the real deal and we’ll likely go with a bit of a shorter lineup.” Strickland will be back in as the Kings open league play Saturday at The Kings University College Eagles in Edmonton. Ashaunti Hogan led the Kings with 15 points while Clay Crelin added 13, Matt Johnson 11, Mari Peoples-Wong nine, Taner Parrington eight and Reece Gavin seven. Parrington is the latest addition to the team. He was at the University of Saskatchewan, but after arriving in Saskatoon he changed his mind and called Pottinger about transferring to RDC. The Kings will have star forward Rob Pierce back once his classes start at Christmas while six-foot-10 Daniel Brandt of Germany is scheduled to arrive in Red Deer later this month after getting his visa acceptance straightened out. He’ll practice with the team and join the roster at Christmas. In other tournament games on Saturday, Lethbridge downed Keyano 82-65 and Olds beat the Canadian University Col-

Hockey Kings 3 Griffins 1 EDMONTON — The RDC Kings completed their ACAC weekend doubleheader sweep over the Grant MacEwan University Griffins with a 3-1 victory Saturday. The Kings won 8-2 Friday in Penhold. “We played well once again,” said Kings head coach Trevor Keeper. The Kings led 2-0 and 3-0 by periods, before falling back into more of a defensive shell in the third period. “We lost two defencemen in the third period, so we didn’t forecheck as much and used more of a trap and played a little more defensively,” explained Keeper, who lost both Blair Mulder and Kirsten Odendaal. Odendaal received a hit to the head, but also reinjured his knee, while Mulder was slammed into the boards from behind and received a major concussion. “Blair didn’t re-
member the game, or even coming home,” explained Keeper. “He has an appointment with the doctor early this week, so we’ll see what comes out of that.” Odendaal is expected to be back for Friday when the Kings host Concordia University College at 7:15 p.m. at the Penhold Regional Multiplex. Brett Wold opened the scoring on the power play at 10:11 of the first period for RDC with Mike Marianchuk connecting at 14:51. Mulder added a power play marker at 13:09 of the second period. Clayton Petrie picked up assists on both power play goals and was named the RDC player of the game. Netminder Kraymer Barnstable was credited with 36 saves, allowing only a third-period goal by Kyle Scraber. Riley Feser had 21 saves for GMU.

Ortiz slams Red Sox back into series BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Boston 6 Detroit 5 BOSTON — David Ortiz’s line drive sailed just beyond Torii Hunter’s reach and into the Boston bullpen, sending the Tigers right fielder flopping headfirst over the wall after it. With one swing, the Red Sox slugger turned everything upside-down. Ortiz’s grand slam erased an eighthinning deficit and ended Detroit’s unprecedented run of pitching dominance, and Jonny Gomes scampered around the bases with the game-winning run in the ninth Sunday night to give Boston a 6-5 victory over Detroit and knot the AL championship series at one game apiece. “That’s what he does. He’s an amazing hitter,” said Max Scherzer, who took a no-hitter and a 5-0 lead into the sixth inning but could only watch as the Detroit relievers blew it. “He’s an amazing post-season hitter. He’s clutch. Any given moment, a swing of the bat he can always take you deep.” One night after Anibal Sanchez and four relievers came within two outs of the first combined post-season no-hitter in baseball history, Scherzer struck out 13 and held Boston hitless for 5 2-3 innings. But the Red Sox loaded the bases against three relievers in the eighth and then closer Joaquin Benoit came in to face Ortiz. The Red Sox designated hitter lined the first pitch into the glove of the Red Sox bullpen catcher. Hunter went down hard and came out only after his teammates had waved for the Detroit medical staff to come out and help him.
“I jumped up. I thought I had a beat on it,” said Hunter, who came up in the Minnesota Twins organization with Ortiz and remains friends with the Red Sox slugger. “Next thing, I know I’m falling over the fence.” The fans waited until the trainers verified that Hunter was OK to start chanting, “Papi!” and call Ortiz out of the dugout for a curtain call. It was the first career post-season grand slam for a star of the 2004 playoff run that ended in Boston’s first World Series title in 86 years. “The guy’s an actor at work,” Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino said. “It’s fun to watch. It’s great to see. He’s always upbeat and always positive. He always likes to go up and swing the bat. That’s what he always wants to do.” Koji Uehara pitched a perfect ninth for the win. Rick Porcello gave up a leadoff infield single that left Gomes at second when shortstop Jose Iglesias threw the ball into the Boston dugout. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a foul popup that glanced off first baseman Prince Fielder’s glove when he got tangled up with a fan. Gomes moved to third on a wild pitch, and then Saltalamacchia hit one through the drawn-in infield to drive in the game-winner. “It’s playoff baseball,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “Looked like we had one in hand and we let one get away, there’s no question about that. But there have been two great games.” Boston’s comeback came a few hours after Tom Brady threw a touchdown pass with 5 seconds left to complete the New England Patriots’ comeback over the New Orleans Saints. Game 3 of the ALCS is in Detroit 3 today, when Justin Verlander will face
Boston’s John Lackey. “We need it, man. We need start some momentum going on,” Ortiz said. “The whole regular season, you haven’t seen a team shutting us down for 14, 15 straight innings like they have the past couple of days. If you look at the way they’ve been pitching, (it’s) unbelievable. It’s up to us make
an adjustment.” Miguel Cabrera and Alex Avila homered off Clay Buchholz as Detroit scored four in the sixth inning to open a 5-0 lead. The Red Sox got one in the bottom half but were four outs from falling behind 0-2 in the series when Ortiz tied it.

SAN MARTIN, Calif. — Jimmy Walker’s first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. A yellow “Masters 2014” flag. It was a not-so-subtle reminder that the Frys. com Open is no longer a Fall Series event for players to chase their tour cards at the end of the year, but the start of the PGA Tour’s new 201314 season that comes with all the perks. And it was a reminder to Walker that he gets to go places where he always felt he belonged. In his eighth season and his 188th tournament — and with a little help from 23-year-old Brooks Koepka — Walker won a back-nine duel Sunday by making a 6-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole and closing with three pars for a 5-under 66. That was more than enough for the 34-yearold Texan to win by two shots. “This was the final stepping stone,” said Walker, who has played on more tours than he can remember to get to the big leagues. It turned out to be a learning experience for Koepka, who had a fourshot lead with 11 holes remaining until he began missing short putts, all of them to the left. It started with a 3-foot par putt that he missed on the ninth hole. The most significant was a 6-foot birdie attempt on the 15th hole that would have matched birdies with Walker in the group ahead and regained a share of the lead. Koepka bogeyed the next two holes and closed with a 72 to tie for third. “Things just weren’t going my way,” Koepka said. “I just didn’t make the shots I needed to win. Congrats to Jimmy on that. He played very well. “But just try to learn from the whole experience. “Any time you can put yourself in that kind of pressure, it’s always good. It you take something from it, that’s even better.” Walker finished at 17-under 267 and cracked the top 50 in the world ranking for the first time. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., finished at nine under after firing a final-round 68. Mike Weir of Bright’s Grove, Ont., (72) ended the tournament well back at 1 under.

Senate reports progress on debt deal BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Both President Barack Obama and the top Democrat in Congress reported progress Monday toward a deal to avoid a threatened default and end a two-week partial government shutdown, as Obama called for a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House to press for an end to the impasse. Congress’ failure to pass a bill temporarily funding the government led to the partial shutdown on Oct. 1, the first in 17 years. And if Congress doesn’t approve a separate measure by Thursday increasing the debt ceiling — the amount of money the government is allowed to borrow — the Obama administration says it risks default. The two normally routine pieces of legislation have become entangled in disputes over Obama’s health care overhaul and government spending. Under discussion is an increase in the debt limit so the government can continue paying its bills well into next year and a short-term funding measure that would re-open the government. Visiting a Washington charity,
U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN Obama mentioned the possible progress in the Senate and said a meeting at the White House will determine whether it’s real. The meeting was originally scheduled for Monday afternoon but was later postponed to give Senate leaders more time to negotiate. “There has been some progress on the Senate side, with Republicans recognizing it’s not tenable, it’s not smart, it’s not good for the American people to let America default,” he said while visiting a Washington charity that has retained furloughed government workers as volunteers. Otherwise, he warned, the threat of default was legitimate. “If we don’t start making some real progress both in the House and the Senate, and if Republicans aren’t willing to set aside some of their partisan concerns in order to do what’s right for the country, we stand a good chance of defaulting,” he said. After meeting twice Monday with his Republican counterpart, Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid opened the Senate session by saying he
Libyan al-Qaida suspect arrives in U.S. for trial BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — A Libyan who has been held and interrogated for a week aboard a U.S. warship is now in New York awaiting trial on terrorism charges, U.S. officials said Monday. The al-Qaida suspect, known as Abu Anas al-Libi, has been under federal indictment in New York for more than a decade. He’s due to stand trial over whether he helped plan and conduct surveillance for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998. Two U.S. officials said he arrived in New York on Saturday and has been held while he awaits an arraignment in federal court. Al-Libi would be the latest in a string of defendants to face civilian trials under President Barack Obama.
Early in his term, he faced criticism for planning to prosecute admitted Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York. Since then, however, the city has hosted the trial of Ahmed Ghailani, who received a life sentence on a terrorism charge in 2011. Al-Libi, whose full name is Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, could be in court as early as Tuesday, officials said. But there were no new public court filings in his case. The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter. Al-Libi used to be on the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists. His family says he was not in al-Qaida. U.S. special operations forces snatched him during a raid in Libya on Oct. 5.
Four arrested in U.K. allegedly plotting terror attack BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — British law enforcement agencies averted a plot to orchestrate a large-scale terror attack similar to the assault on Kenya’s Westgate mall, an official said Monday. Police were questioning four men in their 20s on suspicion of terrorism after they were detained Sunday in preplanned, intelligence-led raids. A British security official said the men were planning a shooting spree akin to the Westgate attack in Nairobi, in which at least 67 people died. The official — who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media on the record — said it was not clear how advanced the planning was but that any attack was not imminent. Metropolitan Police did not identify the suspects or say what, if any,
charges, they may face. But in a series of statements, the force said the men were all British nationals between the ages of 25 and 29, with roots in Turkey, Pakistan, Algeria and Azerbaijan. The force confirmed that the London police firearms unit took part in the arrests. British police rarely carry weapons and their involvement suggested concern that men might have been armed. Dramatic CCTV footage has emerged of one of the arrests, in which counter-terror police are seen tackling a suspect on the street in an upscale west London neighbourhood. Elsewhere, police fired special ammunition — aimed at breaching doors or bursting tires — to stop a car near the Tower of London, and arrested two 25-year-old men. Another suspect was arrested in southeast London. Officers were searching six locations and two vehicles in London following the arrests.
was “very optimistic we will reach an agreement this week that’s reasonable in nature.” Moments later, Republican leader Mitch McConnell seconded Reid’s view. They spoke after what McConnell termed “a couple of very useful discussions.” While Reid said there was not yet an accord, he said he hoped to have a proposal to outline when the leaders of Congress meet with Obama at midafternoon. Reid and McConnell — veteran senators hardened by several budget disputes and years of negotiations — are at an impasse over yet another source of fiscal fighting: the automatic, acrossthe-board spending cuts known as sequestration and whether to undo or change them as part of a budget deal. Democrats are pressing for a higher amount of spending, while Republicans want to keep the spending at the deficit-cutting level of the 2011 law, the result of that year’s high-stakes budget battle. Officials in both parties said House
and Senate negotiators would be appointed to seek a deficit-reduction agreement that could ease or eliminate a new round of automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect in January. While the current round of cuts fell on both domestic programs and defence, the upcoming reductions would hit primarily the Pentagon. The officials said the two leaders were discussing legislation to raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit until spring. It was not clear if that would permit Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew to employ a series of steps that could add additional months to the extension, as administrations in both parties have done in recent years. In addition to raising the debt limit and reopening the government, officials said, the two leaders were discussing a possible tightening in income verification requirements for individuals who qualify for subsidies under the health-care law known as Obamacare. Democrats were resisting a Republican-backed proposal to suspend a medical device tax that was enacted as part of the health care law. The tax is widely unpopular among lawmakers in both parties, but the outcome of that disagreement remained unclear.

Islamic police in Nigeria threaten to arrest anyone in ‘indecent dress’ He said officers have orders to stop and search to make sure everyone obeys — including Christians. Nine of Nigeria’s 37 states have introduced Shariah law since 2000 as some Muslims have become more fundamentalist. But the law is interpreted differently and enforced more rigidly in some states. Three other states introduced Shariah law, but only for Muslims who want to use it as an alternative to Westernstyle family law. The rest of Nigeria is under secular law.

KANO, Nigeria — Cutoff pants displaying a bulging calf? Sleeveless T-shirts showing off a well-muscled physique? Forget it in Nigeria’s northern Kano state, where Islamic police are deploying thousands of officers to arrest anyone sporting the “indecent dress” that’s fashionable among young men driving motorized rickshaw taxis. Police also have orders to arrest any cabbie carrying men and women together in the confined space of the three-wheeled taxis. “The way and manner some of the commercial tricycle operators engage in indecent dressing and carry men and women together is disturbing,” said Yusuf Yola, spokesman for the Hisbah board that is responsible for ensuring compliance with Shariah laws in Kano. He said such dress, with pants cut off just below the knee like Bermuda shorts, also was “unHausa,” referring to the biggest tribe in Nigeria’s north.

The handling of these roadside memorials belongs to the local municipality. Many allow toys, dolls, etc., to stay for a specified period of time, and then the department of transportation removes them. In some areas, temporary memorials are replaced with a single permanent marker. The state of Delaware bans roadside memorials altogether and has instead provided the Delaware Highway Memorial Garden as a tribute. You should inquire with your local department of transportation and suggest the objects be donated. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Worried Wife,” whose 44-year-old husband drinks too much and refuses to see a doctor or dentist. In addition to the advice that you gave her to contact Al-Anon and make sure he has a valid will and that his affairs are in order, she also should make sure he has a lot of insurance. She will need it to raise their four children alone. — K. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
