PREMIER’S DINNER

Redford praised for school projects BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Flooding, the bitumen bubble and a zero per cent increase in operating expenses highlighted Alberta Premier Alison Redford’s speech to Central Albertans. But w h e n HORNER GATHERS asked about the BUDGET INPUT A2 recent release of information showing a steady decrease in the number of patients admitted to the Red Deer Regional Hospital within eight hours, down to 29 per cent in 2013, Redford deferred to Alberta Health Minister Fred Horne. “I am concerned about Red Deer, there is a trend to longer wait times in the hospital,” said Horne. “Alberta Health Services is looking at the reasons. “I can tell you in general the reasons we see first of all are growth as a province. Many of them arrive without access to a family doctor or to another primary health care provider so we do see a lot of people seek treatment in emergency departments.” Horne focused on providing an appropriate option for people in primary health care so they don’t have to visit the emergency department. “That said I can tell you Alberta has one of the best track records in Canada meeting the eight-hour target for admission,” said Horne. “I’ve asked AHS to look at the situation specifically in Red Deer and see what more we can do.” Redford was in Red Deer Thursday talking at the Central Alberta Progressive Conservative Association Premier’s Dinner. She said Albertans wanted her government to change responsibly, get a handle on spending, save money and invest in infrastructure. The best reaction she received from the crowd of more than 300 was when she talked about the new schools coming to Central Alberta. She said the schools in Red Deer will be able to service about 1,100 new students, along with other school construction projects in Penhold, Blackfalds and throughout Central Alberta. Redford said while the province had expected 11,000 kids to join the public school system this year in September, twice that amount, 22,000, enrolled. “We’re going to invest in schools for those kids,” said Redford, adding they have already started work on 50 new schools and 70 school renovations. She said she was happy that the Central Alberta Cancer Centre in Red Deer is set to open later this year, which she said will reduce radiation treatment wait times.

Trepanier booed for patio stance BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

MAYORAL FORUM

Red Deer’s five mayoral candidates had one more chance to convince voters why they should sit in the mayor’s chair for the next four years. And it was Dennis Trepanier who received one of the largest reactions of the night. A chorus of loud “boos” greeted Trepanier when he said his fix to improving traffic situation across the city was to “stop putting up patios” that block all the traffic because it is a waste of money. Taking it all in stride, Trepanier said, “sometimes you have to be hard when you’re in politics. You have to tell the truth. And some people do not like it.” Trepanier was also taken to task by Veer who pointed out Trepanier got her voting record wrong on the city’s

COUNCIL CANDIDATES QUIZZED A3 mobility study when it came to council. About 450 people turned out to hear the public office hopefuls at an all-candidates forum hosted by the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce on Thursday. This was the final public forum that put the mayor hopefuls ––– Cindy Jefferies, William Horn, Chad Mason, Trepanier and Veer –– in the hot seat. The five candidates answered a variety of questions that mostly focused on transportation, safety, parking and the need for a 50-metre pool. Responding to the question about improving traffic across the city, Veer said the key is to start planning road infrastructure at the outset. Both Veer and Jefferies named better traffic light synchronization, traffic circles and exploring other options as essential.

Jefferies said there’s also a component of driver education and awareness of the rules of the road that needs focus. Mason agreed there is not a need to have a light at every intersection. He said the city needs to explore other options, including traffic circles. Horn said the city needs to keep a closer eye on traffic patterns. “There’s places for traffic circles and there’s places that traffic circles will not work,” said Horn. “And there’s places for stop and yield signs.” A question about views on alternative ways to move around the city turned into statements about the controversial bike lane pilot. Jefferies said she does not see a bike lane on every street. She said from the pilot, they see support for to have separated segregated lanes that would provide safety for users aged eight to 80 years old.

per household, and we are a very well educated community and a very young community, we have our issues as well. Around 15 to 18 per cent of our people live in poverty and the majority of those people in poverty are children and they can’t control anything,” Mayor Morris Flewwelling said after reading the proclamation on the steps of City Hall before a crowd of about 50 people.

He said children who grow up in poverty are marginalized and can become bitter and estranged from mainstream society. The toxic stress of poverty on a family can even impact children’s cognitive development. “We simply can’t afford that loss of potential,” Flewwelling said.

Finance minister gets budget input

BUBBLE BALL BATTLE

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF As part of the province’s budgeting process, Red Deerians have been asked to give feedback and contribute to the discussion. The Thursday afternoon stop at the Red Deer Lodge was one of many made by Alberta Finance Minister Doug Horner to help build the coming provincial budget. This process was similar to one done last year by Horner. He outlined three ways these consultations added value to the most recent provincial budget. He said Albertans asked the province to spend within its means, which led to a zero per cent increase in operating spending in the 2013 budget; to save money, which resulted in legislation defining how much should be added to the Alberta Heritage Trust Fund; and to build the infrastructure the province needs to handle growth. In the latest round of public consultation, Horner has been to communities in a series of open houses, or in the case of Red Deer, a roundtable discussion. He met with a group of about 12 local people to discuss the coming budget and what they think the needs of the province are. “We are in a strong financial position, we’re not broke, we have savings — a lot of savings — we have almost $20 billion worth of savings, we haven’t blown through it as some would like to characterize it,” said Horner. He said this year much of the discussion has revolved around improving infrastructure to handle and prepare for growth. “You have to get ahead of the curve here a little bit,” said Horner. “We know people are coming in, so why don’t we try to get to that point?

REDFORD: Heritage Trust Fund to grow She also said that once the new centre is complete, the old one will become part of the hospital. Redford outlined the government’s legislated formula that will grow the Heritage Trust Fund to about $24 billion over the next three years. “The reason we have been success as a province is that when you make the right long-term plans you can continue to invest in the infrastructure so you can reduce wait times; you can continue to have that savings plan; you can invest in health, research and innovation and you can continue to operate the services people need,” said Redford. “It is possible to achieve all of those. We have great confidence that is what Albertans want to do.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

FORUM: Cast your ballot on Monday Horn suggested ring road buses instead of having all buses terminating in the downtown. He asked suggested smaller buses in off-peak hours. Mason said integrating mobility through the existing bike trails are the way to go. Mason said the majority of people drive to work, which is part of living in the first world. Mason said the city’s job is not to change people’s behaviour. Veer said no one disputes that safety is an issue for cyclists but she will not diminish the public’s anger over bike lanes. Veer said moving forward the city can integrate the existing trail networks, extend life of existing infrastructure and establish more connectivity in a broader trail network.

It was red balls against blue as the staff at Iron Ridge Elementary School in Blackfalds battled against each other Thursday during a game of Bubble Ball soccer. Held in conjunction with the school Fall Festival, the game was held to celebrate the students fundraising efforts this year during their Terry Fox Run. This year the school surpassed their goal of raising $5,000, bringing in $7,128 for Canadian cancer research. See related video at www.reddeeradvocate.com.

Slain woman had sought protection order, told court husband injured her CALGARY — A 55-year-old Calgary woman whose husband is being sought in her death had gone to court to get a protection order. Carmel Christians was stabbed to death and a female friend she was staying with was seriously injured in an attack Wednesday morning. Turning to the need for a proposed $90-million 50-metre pool, something Veer noted has come up in the last four elections, candidates were asked should the city spend up to $90 million on a new pool. Veer said she would support a scaled down version of the project up to $50 million but would not support debt financing the entire pool. Jefferies pointed out the city’s bid for the 2019 Canada Winter Games does not include the city building a 50-metre pool unless the city decides to do this before the bid is submitted. Jefferies said the city is falling behind in some of the recreational facilities in the community. She said the city needs plan and to think about future needs and build them into the plans in a fiscally responsible way. Horn said the price tag on the proposed pool is hefty but the city could be losing a pool with the closure of Michener Centre. Horn said a 50-metre pool would be a bonus for Red Deer, but the city has to look at its affordability with its present tax level. Mason said the city cannot afford to spend the money over the next four years. Trepanier said municipalities do not make money on pools. He said the city would have to look at the cost benefits.

POVERTY: A huge cost to the community He said Red Deer has woken up to the fact that poverty is also a huge monetary cost to the community, just like homelessness. Economically it’s not smart to have people living in poverty because of the cost to government and community services. “We discovered it costs about $100,000 to have somebody on the street. But it only costs about $40,000 a year to have somebody housed. “People aren’t poor because they want to be poor. And people aren’t mentally ill because they want to

James Allan Christians, who is 65, is wanted on a warrant for second-degree murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon. According to court documents, Carmel Christians testified at a hearing Sept. 3 that her husband punched her in the face and tried to strangle her. She also said he poured gasoline in front of her and threatened to burn their house down. She told the court that even with a restraining order, she feared for her life. be mentally ill. And they’re not on the streets homeless because they want to be homeless. There are circumstances that have put them in those positions and it’s up to us as a community, and as a city council, to make sure we minimize those adverse experiences that people have,” Flewwelling said. Lori Jack, co-chair of Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance (CAPRA), said the alliance is working to put a face to poverty. “There’s often the misconception of the older man pushing the cart. That’s not the truth of it. It’s often the working families who are not making enough to make ends meet,” Jack said. Calculating a living wage and recruiting the business community to actively get involved in CAPRA are also underway. “What we know about poverty reduction is you need all sectors engaged.” Poverty costs Albertans $7.1 billion to $9.5 billion annually for expenses like higher health care, justice and policing, and means missed business opportunities, she said. “We know today that there are over 300,000 (Albertans) living in poverty, 84,000 of those are children.” Jack said Premier Alison Redford has acknowledged the impact of poverty and the province is working towards the goal to eliminate child poverty in five years by engaging communities in conversations on the influence and impact of poverty, as well as looking at government systems. Norbert Dumais of Red Deer, who talked about his experience living below the poverty line, said when he was growing up in Saskatchewan, people used to sit down together for a cup of tea to discuss problems. “It’s time for people to sit down together and have a cup of tea with one another, get to know each other. Get rid of that colour barrier. Get rid of those judgments that you have about other people,” said Dumais, who sang an aboriginal healing song in recognition of the proclamation.

Council candidates quizzed

Ethics boss says it’s OK for MLAs to lobby for personal interests EDMONTON — An Alberta government backbencher who lobbied bureaucrats and fellow politicians to make legislative changes to benefit his company did nothing wrong, the province’s ethics commissioner ruled Thursday. Ethics commissioner Neil Wilkinson, in a written judgment, said that while Peter Sandhu wanted changes to lien rules to benefit his home-building company, it was not a conflict of interest because other home-building companies would have benefited as well. “Sandhu’s persistence in this matter created an appearance of conflict of interest, but did not amount to an improper use of his office,” wrote Wilkinson. “Had his persistence been directed at encouraging government officials to take action which

BUDGET: Tough decisions “We’re quite a ways behind and it is going to be difficult to do that. But the No. 1 piece we’ve heard so far is we have to build the infrastructure.” With the zero per cent operating increase and cuts to post-secondary education in the 2013 budget, Horner said this year they are also talking about protecting core government services. “We had a tough budget, we had to make some tough decisions this spring because of the bitumen differential and because Albertans told us ‘We don’t want to see seven per cent growth in operating spending anymore,’ ” said Horner. “We can afford to do some of the stuff (capital projects) now because we know we’re going to grow to five or six million people,” said Horner. “If you don’t do it, where are they going to go to school? The capital piece of this becomes part of the problem.” As with other consultations throughout the province, Horner said the information gathered will be collated and brought to the treasury board, and the budget built from there. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

only affected (Sandhu’s) NewView Homes, there would be no doubt that it would be in breach of the (Conflicts of Interest) Act. “But that is not the case, and there is therefore no actual breach.” Wilkinson also noted that the legislature is made up of people from diverse backgrounds and interests and that their work to lobby to make things better in their areas of expertise is to be encouraged. “It’s their job,” wrote Wilkinson. Sandhu, member of the legislature for Edmonton-Manning, stepped out from Premier Alison’s Redford Progressive Conservative caucus when the issue surfaced in a CBC report on May 14. A spokesman for his constituency office said he would not be commenting Thursday, although Sandhu did take to Facebook and Twitter to issue a statement.

Calvin Goulet-Jones said growthrelated issues will continue to arise. Planning is the key, he said, and the city needs to work with private industry, as well as social and non-profit groups, to ensure required services are available. Tanya Handley felt that the key to dealing with growth pains is a reasonable level of taxation so that residents can better manage their expenses. On a question related to crime prevention, Ordman said his time on Red Deer’s policing committee taught him that the problem is not as severe as

YOUR

There was little opportunity for prepared answers on Thursday as 29 of the 30 candidates for Red Deer city councillor positions fielded questions at an election forum hosted by the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce. Members of the audience, which numbered nearly 450, quizzed the candidates on everything from poverty to parking. Moderator Ken Kolby, president and CEO of the Alberta Chambers of Commerce, chose a handful of council hopefuls to answer each question and restricted their responses to one minute each. Municipal spending was one of the issues raised, with incumbent Paul Harris defending the city’s fiscal record. He said Red Deer remains well below the debt limit imposed by the province, with the annual cost of servicing the municipal debt $51.07 per person. Bob Bevins said Red Deer has about $111 million in tax-supported debt, or more than $1,000 per resident. He would like to see zero-based budgeting and improved efficiencies sought in every city department. Jonathan Wieler said the cost of capital projects, such as a new swimming pool, must be spread over the life of that asset. Darren Young acknowledged that debt is a reality for any growing city, but said Red Deer needs to manage its finances more closely. A woman in the audience asked how city residents can gain a greater say in municipal spending, especially bigger projects. Incumbent Buck Buchanan said the city has tried to engage the electorate through methods like open houses, budget meetings and more recently social media, with limited success. Tim Lasiuta said people need to make an effort to get involved. “Engagement sometimes can be a phone call,” he said. Bettylyn Baker said councillors should strive to engage with people, perhaps by attendance at events like Red Deer’s Public Market. Gary Didrikson thought a ward system would give Red Deerians a greater say. Serge Gingras proposed an alternative: dividing the city into four quad-

rants and assigning two councillors to each on a rotational basis. The candidates were also asked how they would keep city businesses from moving to Red Deer County. Victor Mobley, Terry Balgobin and Stephen Coop said a competitive tax structure was critical in this regard. Ken Johnston and Jerry Anderson added that the quality of services the city offers is also important. Several of the questions dealt with social issues, including the cancellation of the local Winter Inn program for homeless people due to a loss of provincial funding. Incumbent Lynne Mulder said this was a concern for council, although the decision reflected a desire to move from temporary shelter to more permanent solutions. Calvin Yzerman said such cuts are the consequence of a boom-and-bust economy, but efforts should be made to ensure winter housing is available. David Helm said the city should take the time to find an appropriate solution with public input. And Troy Wavrecan also felt community input was needed. On the broader issue of poverty, Dawna Morey suggested that the nonprofit sector can play an important role in addressing this problem. Dan McKenna echoed her view, but also proposed speaking with the provincial government about Alberta’s minimum wage. Incumbent Dianne Wyntjes distinguished between a minimum wage and a living wage, and said she supports the latter. Wyntjes also suggested working with agencies, the provincial government and the federal government to deal with the problem. Another concern raised was Red Deer’s ability to accommodate a growing population. Janella Spearing said she’d focus on affordable housing and work with organizations like Habitat for Humanity. Ben Ordman said a range of issues need to be addressed, including education, housing alternatives, a living wage policy and children’s programming. Lawrence Lee pointed out that the problem is the result of a positive situation: growth. He said careful planning, as well as improved services and programs, are appropriate responses.

Half-baked and ill-defined THRONE SPEECH OFFERS LITTLE BOOST FOR CONSERVATIVES No government gets to reinvent itself at the mid-point of a third mandate. The ship of state does not turn on a dime. But the subtext of Stephen Harper’s seventh throne speech is that this government — notwithstanding its current slump in the polls — feels little need for a course correction. Stripped of CHANTAL all of its lofty HÉBERT rhetoric — and at more than 7,000 words there was no lack of it — the so-called mid-mandate reset of the Conservative government amounts to a handful of sometimes half-baked and always ill-defined promises that could have been more comprehensively covered by a few ministerial statements. The core agenda will be familiar to anyone who has kept up with Conservative policy over the past two years or who has read previous instalments of the same speech. On that basis, voters who still like the government will likely find enough in Stephen Harper’s seventh throne speech to continue to support the ruling party. But polls suggest that there are not enough of those — as things stand today — to ensure the re-election of the Conservatives to power, let alone with another majority. Wednesday’s speech may fall short of bridging that gap. Missing from the mix is at least one central policy idea that would both give the government renewed momentum and distinguish it positively from the opposition. It may be that there are voters out there who so crave a government that will get them a better deal on credit card borrowing or cable choices or roaming fees as to make it their ballotbox issue. That all depends on the fine print of the measures. But those voters would be offered the same contract with the NDP. The party has been promoting some of the same measures for years — often in the face of Conservative opposition. Indeed, with big business out of the political financing picture, all federal parties, including the Liberals, are falling over themselves to cater to the

voters who pay their way. The throne speech restates the Conservative case that Canada’s wealth rests in no small part on its capacity to market its energy resources — and that pipelines should be built, expanded, reversed or whatever it takes to get landlocked Western Canada oil and gas to the country’s coasts. But on this the government does not have a fundamental difference with the NDP or the Liberals. While the Conservatives seem to like all pipelines, the main opposition parties like some better than others. They are more inclined to be guided by environmental concerns in their choices than the current government. Even voters who are sold on the merits of opening new markets for

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Pivotal election an understatement Yes, this year’s municipal election is pivotal! We just celebrated 100 years where the original homesteaders and residents saw so much potential and opportunity … and then seized it to create the Red Deer we know today. As our population is about to reach 100,000, what does the next 100 years look like? Will Red Deer continue to be a community where people feel they belong and are proud to call home? Will potential opportunities continue to be discovered for the benefit of residents and businesses alike? The tone to start off Red Deer’s next 100 years will be set by the results of the Oct. 21 election, starting with the mayor. Much has been said about past council decisions over the years (100 years to be exact), but perhaps not enough is being said about potential council decisions over the next 100 years. Or more to the point: how to lead a council if 75 per cent of council adhere to the same mandate under the Red Deer First banner? How ‘collective’ or ‘representative’ of the community voice will the council agenda, proposed motions and decisions actually address? There has been lots of commentary on this subject as it relates to councillors, from Advocate editorials to letters to the editor. Yet, there has not been much discussion regarding the mayor under these circumstances. I thought this significant enough that I posed the question at RDC mayoral forum.

Canada’s energy output might consider that a better mix. Then there is free trade. A deal with the European Union has been agreed to in principle. That is a major development but it not necessarily a wedge issue, or at least not in the way that the FTA and NAFTA were in the past. Those trade agreements divided the federal parties, with the Liberals and the NDP fighting the Tories over them. But in this instance, the Liberals would essentially stick to the same course as the Conservatives and the New Democrats have warmed up to free trade over the past few years. And so the Conservatives are down to seeking their electoral salvation in the policy margins — an area where

she made clear was that if we had a number of people who come from a similar perspective on council, we would need to do what we could to encourage them to broaden their viewpoints and bring different views to the table so that we are making the best decisions possible. In essence, in my opinion, she was demonstrating leadership though collaboration, encouragement and inclusiveness to have councilors voices heard, while also reminding councilors that they need to seek input and view points from all constituents across Red Deer … even those that differ from their own. Tara Veer’s answer was that regardless of whomever the public puts there, whether it’s a slate or otherwise, she would be willing to work with whomever. Tara also stated that she thought the key is leadership ability and one who can win the respect and co-operation of their future colleagues. This seems more like leading a single-minded view rather than the diverse views of the entire community of Red Deer. Pivotal is indeed an understatement! And I hope that the original ‘pivotal’ letter submitted by Bruce Rowe, MLA Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills and Official Opposition Municipal Affairs critic, was done in the spirit of a public service announcement, either to his particular constituency or across the province as a whole, as opposed to a directed message to the citizens of Red Deer. If it were the latter, then that opens yet more questions to ponder for this election! Colleen Thomas Red Deer

it is always easier to please the party base than to attract or hang on to broad support. And so there will be yet more lawand-order measures. (At this rate all that will be left in the judicial pantry when this mandate ends will be the restoration of the death penalty!) And Parliament will be put to work on gimmicks such as the kind of balancedbudget legislation that proved to be meaningless when the recent economic crisis struck. When they craft a throne speech, governments usually hope for a bit of a bang. This one will amount to little more than a blip. Chantal Hébert is a syndicated Toronto Star national affairs writer.

Still distracted by election signs It seems to me now that we have distracted driving laws, the placement of numerous small and large sized signs along which appear to primary roads and major intersections can and do cause a significant distraction to drivers of vehicles. I find it interesting as to what is or is not considered a distraction to drivers. An addendum to this observation is that the distracted driving law does not seem to have had a major impact and makes me wonder about the sensibility of it in the first place. Ed Skochylas Red Deer

Wandering from NDP’s true roots The fact that the NDP in Nova Scotia have lost the recent provincial election, falling to third place in the legislature, should come as no surprise. After promising radical change, the NDP in Nova Scotia switched to faithfully following the moderate line of the Thomas Mulcair federal leadership. This has led to the loss of jobs in the public sector and higher fees for students. Voters will have asked themselves why they should vote for fake Liberals or Tories when they can vote for the real thing. This does not bode well for the chances of the NDP in the coming 2015 federal election and a defeat would be a precursor of change within the party.

Sundre receives $3.8M for seniors housing BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF If at first you don’t succeed . . . . When hoped-for funding for seniors housing failed to come through last summer, a senior Sundre town official admitted it was “disheartening.” However, the town and Mountain View Seniors Housing remained hopeful, promised to redouble lobbying efforts, and that optimism was rewarded when the community got word this week that it would receive $3.8 million from the province’s Affordable Supportive Living Initiative. “My reaction? It was sheer ecstatic,” said Sundre Mayor Annette Clews. “We’re one step closer to keeping our seniors here with their families in Sundre. “It is a huge announcement for us.” The money will fund 40 supportive living spaces as part of a 103-unit complex to be built at a cost of $18 million to

$21 million over the next two years. About 40 to 50 lodge units and 12 lifelease spaces are also planned. Supportive living provides care for seniors and others with disabilities in a residence-like setting, and includes round-the-clock care, meals and housekeeping. The town, Mountain View County and the Sundre Seniors Housing and Care Committee have spent years getting to this point. They had to develop a proposal and make the community’s case to be among communities earmarked for funding. Mountain View Seniors Housing has six months to sign the agreement with the province. Those backing the project plan to meet following the municipal elections to get the ball rolling. Sundre’s funding is a portion of $75 million doled out by the province this year to fund 982 new continuing care spaces in seven communities. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

NEWS IN BRIEF

Calgary Zoo set to fully open doors next month CALGARY — The Calgary Zoo plans to fling its doors wide to visitors next month for the first time since the animal park was heavily damaged by flooding. The zoo says in a release that it will completely reopen Nov. 28 with a big celebration. Devastating floods that swamped much of

downtown Calgary in June caused more than $50 million in damage at the zoo. The facility had to find new homes for dozens of animals, closed several buildings and laid off about 300 employees. It managed to reopen the Penguin Plunge exhibit and two other displays July 31 — about one-third of the park. Zoo CEO Clement Lanthier says he’s proud of the rebuilding effort in such a short time.

the government’s leader in the Senate, introduced motions to suspend Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, three of four senators at the heart of an expenses scandal. Meanwhile, government whip John Duncan announced in the House of Commons that Conservative MPs and senators will begin voluntarily disclosing greater details of their expenses. “I have no problem with disclosure and having Canadians know where my money was being spent,” said Sorenson, adding that most of that information is already on government websites. Sorenson said there is much in the government’s Wednesday Throne Speech that addresses issues important to Albertans, such as protecting jobs, keeping taxes low and building the economy.

Opposition efforts to have Prime Minister Stephen Harper declared in contempt of Parliament were dismissed as “posturing” by Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson on Thursday. “There’s all kinds of posturing, there’s all kinds of politics being played, probably more on the opening day,” said Sorenson from Ottawa. “You know, one leader is promoting legalization of marijuana, another leader wasn’t seen throughout the summer,” said Sorenson, referring to Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “So they’re coming back talking about some issue with the prime minister. “We’re talking about the economy. We’re talking about jobs. I think that’s what Canadians want us to focus on,” said Sorenson, who was appointed junior finance minister in July. NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus drew the support of other opposi-

tion parties on Thursday for his bid to have a Commons committee determine whether Harper deliberately misled the Commons over the Senate expenses scandal or was deceived by his own staff. Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer was asked to make a preliminary finding that Harper was in contempt of Parliament last spring when he repeatedly insisted no one in his office knew his chief of staff had bailed out Senator Mike Duffy to the tune of $90,000 — an assurance since contradicted by the RCMP. Angus wants the issue referred to the procedure and House affairs committee. Senate reform was mentioned in the Throne Speech and Sorenson believes the time has come to talk about that in more detail. Sorenson believes there still could be a role for the Senate, while getting rid of situations where senators are appointed to 35-year terms. The Senate was a hot issue on Thursday because Claude Carignan,

Protest ends in violence, arrests BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REXTON, N.B. — The RCMP say dozens of people were arrested after Molotov cocktails were thrown at officers and police vehicles torched Thursday when they began enforcing an injunction to end an ongoing demonstration against shale gas exploration in eastern New Brunswick. “I’m just happy nobody got killed today,” said 36-year-old Lori Simon of the Elsipogtog First Nation. Simon went to survey the damage of burnt police cruisers after the protest in Rexton calmed down. “My heart was aching. I just wanted to cry.” Donald Sanipass, 34, hopped up on the hood of one of the police cars, saying he wasn’t surprised the situation escalated. “I knew it was going to come to this because the government doesn’t want to listen to the people,” Sanipass said,

who attended the scene with Simon. “They didn’t handle this right at all.” Const. Jullie Rogers-Marsh said at least five RCMP vehicles were destroyed after they were set ablaze and at least one shot was fired by someone other than a police officer at the site of the protest. “The RCMP has worked diligently with all parties involved in hopes for a peaceful resolution. Those efforts have not been successful,” Rogers-Marsh said. “Tensions were rising.” The Mounties said at least 40 people were arrested for firearms offences, threats, intimidation, mischief and violating the court-ordered injunction. The RCMP began enforcing the injunction at around 7:30 a.m. to end the blockade of a compound where energy company SWN Resources stores exploration equipment. Route 134 at Rexton and Route 11 between Richibucto and Sainte-Anne-de-Kent were closed to traffic for about 12 hours and schools

Government moves to suspend Duffy, Wallin from the Senate BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Harper government moved Thursday to cauterize the open wound that is the Senate expenses scandal, coming down hard on three free-spending senators and promising to disclose how its MPs spend taxpayer dollars. But none of it was likely to make the controversy go away anytime soon, given fresh procedural tactics by the opposition, ongoing RCMP probes and a forthcoming Senate expense review by the auditor general. The Conservatives announced motions to suspend Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, three former Tories appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper who were found to have made inappropriate expense claims. The motions, to be debated next week, would strip the trio of their pay, benefits and Senate resources for the remainder of the parliamentary session — potentially as long as two years. A fourth senator with improper ex-

penses, former Liberal Mac Harb, resigned last month. A handful of Liberal senators suggested the motions were patently unfair, given that Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau have not been charged with anything directly related to their expenses. Government Senate leader Claude Carignan said the upper chamber was well within its rights to take disciplinary action against the senators for their “gross negligence.” “When we occupy such privileged positions, we should respect citizens and we need to behave with dignity,” Carignan said outside the Senate chamber after the motions were introduced. “I think the behaviour of these three colleagues were an affront to that dignity.” An hour before Carignan’s announcement, Duffy issued a statement saying he was going on medical leave on his doctor’s orders because of a heart condition. Carignan said that would not have an impact on the suspension, should it pass.

in the area were closed early for the day after they were locked down as a precaution. Rogers-Marsh said police decided to enforce the injunction because threats had been made against private security guards at the site the night before. She wouldn’t reveal what tactics police were using to contain the crowd and refused to comment on reports that officers had fired rubber bullets. Robert Levi, a councillor with the Elsipogtog First Nation, said he went to the protest site early Thursday after hearing the RCMP had moved in to begin enforcing the injunction. Levi said police pepper-sprayed dozens of people after 9:30 a.m. when he arrived with the chief and council. “They sprayed the crowd that was there,” he said in an interview. “The chief was manhandled a little bit and all hell broke loose.” Hours later, he was arrested as was Elsipogtog Chief Arren Sock, he said

in a subsequent interview Thursday night. Levi said there was a meeting planned with Premier David Alward for Friday. The RCMP blocked Route 134 on Sept. 29 after a protest began spilling onto the road. Protesters subsequently cut down trees that were placed across another part of the road, blocking the entrance to the compound. The protesters, who include members of the Elsipogtog First Nation, want SWN Resources to stop seismic testing and leave the province. Alward called for a peaceful resolution to the protest, saying the violence that erupted Thursday was “very troubling.” “In no way can we as a country of laws condone the breaking of laws and violence,” Alward said in Moncton, N.B. “I fully support the work that the RCMP do to ensure that the laws of New Brunswick are protected.”

Quebec to challenge top court appointment QUEBEC â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Quebec government has announced that it will contest the latest nomination to the Supreme Court of Canada, adding a new layer of controversy to the process. The provincial government says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weighing different options to block the Harper governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment of Marc Nadon, which is already under attack. The dispute, which is unusual in the naming of a Canadian Supreme Court justice, has already sidelined Nadon from hearing cases and left the high court short one judge. A Toronto lawyer fighting a legal challenge against the appointment argues that Nadon does not meet the requirements to fill one of the three spots reserved for Quebec on the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high court. Now the provincial government is saying it might

Info czar says integrity of system at risk BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Poor leadership and scant resources have left government agencies struggling to answer access-to-information requests from Canadians, warns a federally appointed watchdog. In her annual report tabled Thursday, Information Commissioner Suzanne Legault said the integrity of the system is at risk and the weaknesses must be urgently addressed. The Access to Information Act allows people who pay $5 to request a variety of records from federal agencies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from correspondence and briefing notes to expense reports and audits. The government is supposed to respond within 30 days or provide good reasons why a delay is necessary.

join that case, launched by Toronto lawyer Rocco Galati, or will contest the nomination through other means. Alexandre Cloutier, the intergovernmental affairs minister for the Parti Quebecois government, said the Marois government could join the Galati case, table a motion in the provincial legislature, or file a motion with the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court of Appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Multiple scenarios are currently being considered,â&#x20AC;? Cloutier told a news conference Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you which one weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll prefer. Obviously a decision will have to be made very soon.â&#x20AC;? Galati argues that Nadon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; formerly a Federal Court of Appeal judge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; does not qualify for the Quebec spot. He says only judges from Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeals or superior courts, or lawyers who have belonged to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bar for at least 10 years, can be appointed to the Supreme Court. The provincial minister is also raising concerns about Nadonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential status. Cloutier cited a

High-risk sex offender in Seattle: U.S. police BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — Authorities in Seattle have located a high-risk sex offender who recently fled Canada. The Seattle Police Department says Michael Sean Stanley was found in downtown Seattle on Thursday and was ordered to register as a sex offender. He wasn’t arrested because Canadian authorities have declined to try to extradite him. But Seattle police say the 48-year-old could be arrested if he fails to register as a sex offender. Stanley has a long history of sexual offences against women and children and had been missing since Oct. 1, when he left Edmonton and cut off his electronic-monitoring bracelet in Lloydminster, on the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary. Edmonton police said they warned U.S. counterparts that he might try to cross the border, but U.S. officials allowed him in after determining he was an American citizen and not the subject of an extraditable arrest warrant. “Law enforcement officials on both sides of the U.S. border are working to resolve this very complicated situation,” Seattle police said in a message posted on the department’s blotter.

“In the meantime, Seattle police have ordered Stanley to immediately register as a sex offender in Washington, which would bring him under law enforcement supervision.” On the weekend, Alberta Justice announced it would not seek Stanley’s extradition to Canada because the breach of recognizance, mischief and driving charges he faces north of the border don’t involve violence. Alberta Justice acknowledged Stanley’s violent record, but said the charges he is currently facing “do not typically warrant engaging the extradition process.” “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,” the department said. A spokeswoman with the Edmonton police said the developments in Seattle don’t change the Edmonton department’s handling of the case. At least one Canadian extradition expert has sided with leaving Stanley in the U.S. Gary Botting of Coquitlam, B.C., said last week that extradition would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and Stanley would face little, if any, jail time if he were convicted of the charges he is currently

wanted on in Canada. But Alberta’s Official Opposition Wildrose party has called the government’s actions “morally reprehensible” and demanded that Justice Minister Jonathan Denis try to get Stanley back. “This is an individual who has been terrorizing vulnerable Albertans for decades, who is now on the loose, and Alberta Justice is saying they’re not going to do anything about it,” justice critic Shayne Saskiw said earlier this week. “I implore minister Denis to do everything in his power to bring this guy back to Alberta.” Stanley’s criminal record in Canada dates back to 1987. The 48-year-old last received a 32-month prison term for assault and forcible confinement involving two mentally challenged boys. Parole board records say he lured the boys into a washroom, blew crack smoke in their faces and then sexually assaulted them. Parole records also detail the sexual assault of an elderly woman and outline charges that he exposed himself to kids. The board determined that Stanley posed a risk to reoffend and kept him behind bars until his warrant expiry date, the final day of his sentence, in 2011.

CANADA Human rights commission slams proposed Quebec values charter MONTREAL — Quebec’s human rights commission has come out against the provincial government’s proposed charter of values, saying parts of it infringe on fundamental rights and freedoms. The watchdog says the charter, which has not yet been tabled, contravenes Quebec’s Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. Commission chairman Jacques Fremont says the proposed values charter is a clear break with the text of the charter of rights, which was adopted in 1975. The values charter has set off a firestorm of debate since first being floated by the Parti Quebecois in last year’s election campaign. That has continued as more details emerge, with demonstrations being held against the proposal and another planned for this week. Public opinion polls indicate Quebecers are pretty evenly split on the charter, which would ban workers in the public service from wearing obvious religious symbols such as hijabs. The commission says prohibiting the wearing of conspicuous religious symbols does not meet the requirements of the provincial charter of rights.

F-35 fighter jet suppliers optimistic over Throne Speech Canadian suppliers to the F-35 fighter jet program say they are “cautiously optimistic” by the government’s commitment in the Throne Speech to replace the country’s aging aircraft fleet, but warn that millions of dollars in jobs and opportunities are at risk if a decision drags on past this spring. The federal government devoted just one line in Wednesday’s speech to the controversial defence procurement, vowing to “complete our plan” to replace the planes. Public Works Minister Diane Finley later told an aerospace conference in Ottawa that it will proceed as soon as possible. “While this review is thorough, we want to make sure that it does not drag on and create uncertainty that makes it difficult for many of you to make important long-term business decisions,” she said, according to a copy of the speech. Gabe Batstone, whose 3D technology provider NGRAIN is one of 72 Canadian suppliers to the controversial program, said he’s still anxious to see a specific timeline put in place. “It’s clearly on the radar and they’re committed to their process and understand that we in industry need that process to be expeditious, so that’s all encouraging,” he said.

Top Syrian army general killed in battle with rebels BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — One of Syria’s most powerful military officers was killed in fighting with al-Qaida-linked Islamic extremists in an oil-rich eastern province largely controlled by the rebels, Syrian state-run television said Thursday. The fighting came amid a new push to hold an elusive peace conference for Syria’s civil war, with the government proposing the talks start late next month, though there was no sign the opposition would attend. Maj. Gen. Jameh Jameh was killed in the provincial capital of Deir el-Zour, where he was the head of military intelligence, state-run TV said. He was the most senior military officer to be killed in more than a year. The report did not say when or how Jameh was killed, only that he died “while he was carrying out his mission in defending Syria and its people.” The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Jameh was killed by a sniper bullet during clashes with rebels, including members of alQaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra or Nusra Front. Jameh’s cousin, Haitham Jameh, told Lebanonbased Al-Mayadeen TV that the general was killed when a bomb exploded as he led his troops in an operation in Deir el-Zour, site of more than a year of clashes between regime forces and rebel fighters, who control most of the province. He was the most powerful Syrian officer to be killed since a July 2012 bomb attack on a Cabinet meeting in Damascus killed four top officials, including the defence minister and his deputy, who was President Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law. That attack also wounded the interior minister. Jameh played a major role in Lebanon when Damascus dominated its smaller neighbour. When Syrian troops withdrew from Lebanon in 2005, ending nearly a three-decade military presence, Jameh was in charge of Syrian intelligence in the capital, Beirut. He was among several top Syrian officers suspected of having a role in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Syria denies any involvement in the slaying. Four members of the Syrian-backed Hezbollah were charged in 2011 by a U.N.-backed tribunal with plotting the attack that killed Hariri, though none have been arrested. Their trial is scheduled to start in January. A fifth Hezbollah member was indicted earlier this month.

A resident touches the leaning statue of Our Lady of Fatima at Maribojoc Church at Maribojoc township, Bohol province in central Philippines, Thursday. A 7.2-magnitude quake hit Bohol and Cebu provinces Tuesday damaging buildings homes, churches and infrastructure and causing multiple deaths across the central region.

‘Just push and pray’ PHILIPPINE MOTHER RECALLS GOING INTO LABOUR AS EARTHQUAKE RUMBLES BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CALAPE, Philippines — Eileen Rose Carabana and her mother were in their mountain village house when the 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the central Philippine island of Bohol. Moments later, she felt an unmistakable intense pain in her abdomen — she was about to go into labour. There was no other way to get to a doctor but to hike several kilometres down a mountain to the hospital in Calape, a coastal town devastated by Tuesday’s quake that killed at least 171 people and destroyed thousands of homes and a dozen or more centuries-old churches. “I was worried for my baby because I could already feel tummy pain,” the 19-year-old recalled Thursday. When she made it to the hospital, Carabana found patients had already been evacuated to a tent outside, where a humming generator provided light for emergency procedures. As she went into labour, Carabana said she felt the ground shaking from aftershocks. “I was very scared and I prayed that I would just have a normal

delivery in spite of the tragedy,” she said. She recalled the words of the hospital staff: “Just push and pray, push and pray.” Later Tuesday night, she gave birth to a healthy, 2.4-kilogram (5.3-pound) baby named James Lyndon. Carabana was one of five young mothers who have delivered in Calape since the quake hit Bohol Island. Another expectant mother whose house was destroyed had to walk down a mountain to seek help from her relative before finding a ride to the hospital in Calape, said Meneleo Guibao, a nurse who is also the administrator of the 12-bed municipal hospital in the town. On the way, along bumpy roads torn open by the quake, the woman’s water burst, he said. The baby came out not breathing and had to be resuscitated, Guibao said. Both the mother and baby were sent to a larger hospital in the provincial capital Tagbilaran, which was better equipped for emergencies. There was no word about their condition. “Our theory is that she was trying to stop the baby from coming out because it was difficult travelling to the hospital,” Guibao said.

SANTIAGO, Chile — Four Chilean men were convicted of first-degree murder Thursday for beating a gay man to death and carving swastikas into his body. Daniel Zamudio’s slaying set off a national debate about hate crimes in Chile that led Congress to pass an antidiscrimination law. As the judge read the guilty verdict, Zamudio’s mother sobbed and her son’s killers stood motionless and stared blankly at the floor. Judge Juan Carlos Urrutia said Patricio Ahumada Garay, Alejandro Angulo Tapia, Raul Lopez Fuentes and Fabian Mora Mora were guilty of a crime of “extreme cruelty” and “total disrespect for human life.” The judge said the attackers burned Zamudio with cigarettes, beat him with glass bottles and broke his right leg with a heavy stone before they abandoned him in a park in the Chilean capital on March 3, 2012. The sentence will be read Oct. 28. Prosecutors are asking for jail terms ranging from eight years to life in prison. “We’re satisfied with this ruling. There’s a before and an after the Zamudio case,” said Rolando Jimenez, president of the Gay Liberation and Integration Movement. “It generated such outrage because of the brutality, the hate, that it helped raised awareness,” Jimenez said.

DNA testing suggests Yeti could be polar bear hybrid BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — A British scientist says he may have solved the mystery of the Abominable Snowman — the elusive ape-like creature of the Himalayas. He thinks it’s a bear. DNA analysis conducted by Oxford University genetics professor Bryan Sykes suggests the creature, also known as the Yeti, is the descendant of an ancient polar bear. Sykes compared DNA from hair samples taken from two Himalayan animals — identified by local people as Yetis — to a database of animal genomes. He found they shared a genetic fingerprint with a polar bear jawbone found in the Norwegian Arctic that is at least 40,000 years old. Sykes said Thursday that the tests showed the creatures were not related to modern Himalayan bears but were direct descendants of the prehistoric animal. He said, “it may be a new species, it may be a hybrid” between polar bears and brown bears. “The next thing is go there and find one.” Sykes put out a call last year for museums, scientists and Yeti aficionados to share hair samples thought to be from the creature. One of the samples he analyzed came from an alleged Yeti mummy in the Indian region of Ladakh, at the Western edge of the Himalayas, and was taken by a French mountaineer who was shown the corpse 40 years ago. The other was a single hair found a decade ago in Bhutan, 1,300 kilometres to the east. Sykes said the fact the hair samples were found so far apart, and so recently, suggests the members of the species are still alive. “I can’t imagine we managed to get samples from the only two ‘snow bears’ in the Himalayas,” he said. Finding a living creature could explain whether differences in appearance and behaviour to other bears account for descriptions of the Yeti as a hairy hominid. “The polar bear ingredient in their genomes may have changed their behaviour so they act different, look different, maybe walk on two feet more often,” he said. Sykes’ research has not been published, but he says he has submitted it for peer review. His findings will be broadcast Sunday in a television program on Britain’s Channel 4. Tom Gilbert, professor of paleogenomics at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, said Sykes’ research provided a “reasonable explanation” for Yeti sightings. “It’s a lot easier to believe that than if he had found something else,” said Gilbert, who was not involved in the study. “If he had said it’s some kind of new primate, I’d want to see all the data.”

Trial opens for doctor charged with killing wife ACCUSED OF URGING HER TO GET FACE-LIFT TO KILL HER WITH DRUGS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PROVO, Utah — A former U.S. doctor accused of hounding his wife to get a face-lift so he could kill her with a lethal combination of prescription drugs acted erratically the day she died and claimed she had wanted the surgery, prosecutors said Thursday in opening statements at the murder trial. In addition, Martin MacNeill told fellow inmates after his arrest that his wife was a “bitch;” he was glad she was dead; and authorities couldn’t prove he killed her, prosecutor Sam Pead told jurors. Prosecutors have said the killing was the climax of a twisted plot by MacNeill to carry on an affair with his mistress, who MacNeill invited to his wife’s funeral and asked to marry him weeks later. The case has shocked the small Utah town of Provo, a Mormon community 45 miles (72 kilometres) south of Salt Lake City, and captured national attention because the defendant was a doctor. Pead depicted a scene of bizarre behaviour that began when MacNeill discovered his listless wife in a bathtub and called authorities to his house in

April 2007. “’Why did she have the surgery?”’ Martin MacNeill yelled in front of police and paramedics, according to Pead. “’Why did she take all of those medications? I told her not to do it. I’m a doctor. She’s dead. I’ve been a bishop. I pay tithing, and this is the way you repay me?”’ MacNeill was referring to his former leadership position in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his payment of dues. He has since surrendered his medical license. Defence attorneys told jurors that Michele MacNeill died from heart disease, not from anything Martin MacNeill had done. “Martin has made poor choices in his life. He had affairs during his marriage,” defence lawyer Susanne Gustin said in her opening statement. “Shortly after his wife passed away, he brought Gypsy Willis into his home,” Gustin said. “We may think he’s a total jerk and disgusting. And that’s natural. But decide this case on the facts rather than the emotion.” MacNeill, 57, was charged in August 2012, nearly five years after his wife was found dead.

RED DEER BIATHLETE ZINA KOCHER WILL ATTEND HER THIRD OLYMPIC GAMES IN SOCHI BUT HAS ALSO SAID THIS WILL BE HER LAST BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Zina Kocher has her plans set for the future. The 30-year-old biathlon star from Red Deer will compete in her third Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in February, then begin to look at retiring from the sport. “I think this will be my last Olympics,” she said during a telephone interview from Canmore. Then again one never knows. Jeremy Wotherspoon retired from speed skating in 2010, but earlier this year he announced he will try to come back for the Sochi Games. However, Kocher isn’t receiving any financial help from the federal government and has to raise all the money needed for living and training. “I needed to finish in the top eight at the World Championships to receive financial support, but I wasn’t near that and didn’t get any (federal) government funding,” she explained. “I have living costs and our team fees are

up to $6,500, plus I have other training fees, so it’s expensive.” So expensive it could cost her close to $30,000. She hopes to generate a lot of those funds through sponsorship and a fundraising campaign call Pursu.it, which is an online platform for athletes. One can contribute to Kocher at www.pursu.it/campaign/zina-kocher. “It’s a cool idea because it connects people to an athlete’s journey, with every donation over $25 receiving givebacks,” said Kocher. Depending on the amount of donation, an individual receives e-mail updates from Kocher’s journey to Sochi, postcards, action photos, a day with Zina learning how to ski and shoot, a pair of her racing skis or a night in Canmore. “People can go to my site and see what they receive for each donation,” said Kocher, who is excited to start her World Cup season, Nov. 22 in Sweden. She plans on attending three World Cups before returning home for Christmas. “After Christmas I won’t go back to the World Cup, but train here to be

ready as I can for the Games,” she explained. Kocher’s first Olympics experience was in Turin, Italy in 2006 while she also competed in Vancouver in 2010. “Turin was very exciting, but it was also different than Vancouver,” she said. “We weren’t in an athletes village in Italy, which took away some of the excitement. In Vancouver we were in the village at Whistler, plus there were a lot more media and of course, with it being at home, the whole country was involved. There was so much energy, it was a great experience.” Kocher competed in the 15-kilometre individual race, the 7.5km sprint and the relay in both Olympics. Her best finish was a 27th in the individual in Turin. The relay team placed 15th in Vancouver. There are six events she could compete in Sochi, although the individual, sprint and relay are three she will be in for sure. “I could be in the pursuit, mass start and mixed relay, but those depend on other finishes,” she explained. “I need to be in the top 60 in the sprint to make the pursuit and top 30 for the mass

Quick goals by Hall not enough to get Oilers win HALL BREAKS GRETZKY’S TEAM RECORD WITH PAIR OF GOALS IN EIGHT SECONDS BUT TEAM CAN’T MUSTER ANY MORE OFFENCE IN LOSS TO ISLANDERS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Islanders 3 Oilers 2 UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Even before John Tavares became the new captain of the New York Islanders, he developed a knack for netting game-winning goals. Nothing has changed in that regard since he got the ’C’ on his sweater. Tavares put the Islanders in front late in the second period, and New York overcame a quick two-goal spurt by Edmonton’s Taylor Hall for a 3-2 victory over the Oilers on Thursday night. New York (3-2-2) has played six one-goal games this season and this time maintained their slim advantage throughout a scoreless third period against the skidding Oilers (16-1). The 23-year-old Tavares, who became captain last month, has points in six straight games. “We were really focused tonight and we kept their skilled players at bay,” said Tavares, who led the Islanders with 28 goals last season. “I like the way we kept it together in the third. It was a good way for us to finish it off.” Tavares beat goalie Devan Dubnyk with a snap shot in front with 1:07 left in the second off a pass from Kyle Okposo. It was his fourth goal of the season. Okposo had scored his sec-

New York Islanders goalie Evgeni Nabokov blocks a shot on goal by Edmonton Oilers’ Ryan Smyth in the first period of an NHL game on Thursday, in Uniondale, N.Y. ond during a power play at 4:54 of the middle period to make it 2-2. Josh Bailey put New York ahead 1-0 in the first before Hall struck. Hall gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead when he scored a pair of goals just 8 seconds apart in the first. That broke the club mark of 9 seconds, set by Wayne Gretzky on Feb. 18, 1981. That was little solace for Hall and the struggling Oilers, whose only win was a 5-4 shootout home victory over New Jersey on Oct. 7. “It’s an empty feeling be-

The wheels have really fallen off for us as these losses have piled up.” Hall, who has three goals on the season, displayed plenty of frustration. “We had the lead and chance to grab the reins and we didn’t do it,” he said.

start and of course the mixed relay is two men and two women, so that’s up to the team.” Kocher feels she’s in the best shape of her career after recovering from an injury and mononucleosis last year. “It took about a year for me to regain my strength, plus I lost some confidence,” she said. “But I find this year I’ve regained my strength and training has been going great. I’m where I want to be and I’m taking that into practice.” Zocher got into biathlon while in high school in Red Deer, but it wasn’t until she moved to Canmore, when she was 17, that she started to believe she could be an Olympian. “At the beginning it was more recreational than anything, but once I started competing I really got into it. Then after moving to Canmore after high school I started to look at going to the Olympics,” she said. Kocher and Wotherspoon, if he qualifies, will join skeleton star Mellisa Hollingsworth of Eckville and bobsleigh star Lyndon Rush of Sylvan Lake on the Canadian Olympic team. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Despite record, Reilly says final games crucial for Eskimos CFL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Mike Reilly has been one of the few positives in what is one of the worst seasons in Edmonton Eskimos history, yet the 27-year-old says the team’s final three games are crucial for future of the franchise, the team and for himself. With games remaining against three western rivals, beginning Friday evening at home against the Calgary Stampeders, the Eskimos designated quarterback of the future says it’s critical the team does not “roll over and die.” “It’s important we compete and get some wins,” he said. “It’s tough to not fall into that mentality of things are lost and to hang your head. It’s like when a game is over and you’ve lost, you have to flush it and not dwell on it. Yeah we haven’t had much success. But if we dwell on that we’re never going to get better.” Reilly, who has started every game this season, says the 3-12 Eskimos have to treat the remaining games as playoffs “and try to get as hyped up for them as we can.” “Treat them as the most important games of the season because honestly, for the future of this franchise, for the future of this team, we need to approach it like that. We need to have success these next three games to give everybody something to get excited about for next year.” The native of Kennewick, Wash., vows he’ll personally be fighting every down until the end of the season because his job, like everyone else’s on the team, is on the line.

>>>>

Reilly earned the starting job out of training camp — aided by the season-ending knee injury to his main rival for the job, Matt Nichols — and has proven himself a tough, capable competitor. But unless the Eskimos win at least one of the last three games they will finish with the fewest wins since 1963 when they were 2-14. As quarterback, Reilly has to share the blame. “I think we’re playing to save everybody’s job,” he says. “I’m working to save my job, I’m playing to save my teammates jobs, and I’m playing to save the jobs of everybody in here because everybody here, coaching staff, players, are all important to me because they’re all put in a ton of work.” It’s a given there will be roster changes made and Reilly says the next three games are an “opportunity for everybody to show why they deserve to be around next year, and I’m no different.” “I’m not that far removed from a backup,” he added. “I remember what it’s like to stand on the sidelines and watch the game. So even through there’s no playoffs this is three opportunities to get on the field and get better, try to make this team better, try to make this club better and get some hope going into next season. “For so long I’ve been a backup and I’ve spent so much time and hard work trying to get on the field that it would be a shame to give up and say ’Well, there’s only three games left.” Those games are against Calgary, B.C. and Saskatchewan, three western teams the Eskimos have to find a way to beat if they want to become competitive and get back to the playoffs.

Path change leads Charif to Rebels SPORTS EDITOR

Red Deer native Kyle Pess was selected by Medicine Hat in the third round of Kyle Pess the 2001 WHL bantam draft and played parts of two seasons with the Tigers before being dealt to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Pess scored 22 goals and collected 48 points with the ‘Canes in 2004-05 — his finest WHL season — and was traded to the Seattle Thunderbirds midway through the following campaign. Pess left the T-Birds early in the ‘06-07 season to join the Fort Saskatchewan Traders of the AJHL and a year later spent his first of two years at the University of Alberta. The 27-year-old played with the senior AAA Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs last winter, recording six points (4-2) in eight regular-season games and three points (2-1) in five playoff outings.

When one door closed, another door opened for Nick Charif. After suiting up for the midget AAA Edmonton Southside Athletics last season, the now 18-year-old defenceman took his hockey skills to the Victoria Grizzlys of the junior A BCHL, his long-term plans revolving around securing a scholarship to a U.S. university. Unfortunately for Charif, the business classes he took last winter at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton left him ineligible to earn a full scholarship south of the border. He received the bad news two weeks ago and then decided to leave the Grizzlys and join the Red Deer Rebels. “The Rebels talked to me over the summer but I decided to commit to Victoria and go the NCAA route,” Charif said Thursday, as the Rebels prepared for a practice session in advance of tonight’s 7 p.m. meeting with the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Centrium. However . . . “I flew out to Victoria and then once (American) schools started talking to me I found out I wouldn’t be able to get a full scholarship,” he added. “I took a few university classes in Edmonton and somehow things got a little screwed up. My clock got burnt a bit. I was only eligible for a

When Red Deer found that out they listed me and brought me here. I practised a few days, liked what I saw here and then signed with them (last week).” It’s now a moot point, but Charif was confident that his chances of gaining a U.S. scholarship were better by playing junior A hockey in British Columbia as opposed to Alberta. “It’s a better league for scholarships, you get more exposure to the

I loved my experience in Victoria, it’s just too bad things didn’t work out there.” Now he’s hoping ‘things’ work out in Red Deer, and so far, so good. Charif played his first two games with the Rebels last weekend and put up zeroes in terms of points, penalty minutes and plus/minus. “I thought I played

pretty well. I noticed it was a big jump during my first game, but I thought I handled it well,” he said. “I played well my second game, although I made a few mistakes here and there. This is a faster pace than I’m used to so I’m still adjusting that way. But the boys have been good and it’s been a lot of fun.” Listed at six-foot-one and 190 pounds, Charif has the size to effectively rub out opposing forwards. “I like playing a physical style,” he insisted. “It

will take me a few games to get into that here, but hopefully I’ll get that into my game soon.” While he’s new to the Rebels, Charif is no stranger to Red Deer, having met the midget AAA Optimist Chiefs in last spring’s Alberta Midget Hockey League final, a heated series that ended with the locals winning a fifth and deciding game 1-0. “They were a good team. It was fun playing them in a big series,” said Charif. Always looking for ways to improve his team, Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter was pleased to add Charif to his roster. “He’s a steady, puckmoving defenceman. He’s a smart player who’s good with the puck,” said Sutter. “He can skate and he competes. He’s been a good fit for us.” • Forward Lukas Sutter will return to the Rebels lineup tonight after missing seven games with an upper-body injury and will rejoin Rhyse Dieno and Brooks Maxwell on the club’s No. 1 line. Sutter had two goals and two assists in four games prior to being injured Sept. 28 at Calgary . . . The Rebels will host the Calgary Hitmen Saturday and will entertain the Saskatoon Blades and Kootenay Ice Oct. 25 and 30 before embarking on a six-game road trip that will includes two games in Victoria and additional contests in Kamloops, Kelowna, Cranbrook and Lethbridge. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Mac Engel has finally found a home for his final WHL season. The 20-year-old netminder was cut loose by the Prince George Cougars during training camp and returned home to Red Deer to await a trade. But a trade never transpired and he waited for more than a month before being placed on the waiver wire and claimed by the Regina Pats following Tuesday’s overage deadline. The Cougars made Engel expendable with their decision to run with two younger netminders, but the veteran was always confident that he could return to the WHL and perform at a high level. “I’m very determined,” Engel told Greg Harder of the Regina Leader-Post. “This organization has given me the opportunity. That’s all I wanted. I just want to go out and prove myself to everyone — especially this organization — that I can play in the league.” The former midget AAA Red Deer Optimist Chiefs netminder posted a 3.51 goals-against average, .888 save percentage and two shutouts in 47 games with the struggling Cougars last winter. Prior to that, he compiled a 42-28-3-4 record with a 2.56 GAA and .899 save percentage over two seasons with the Spokane Chiefs. “I’ve been hanging out at home, working out, trying to stay in shape for this opportunity,” said Engel. “I was keeping in touch with the GM in Prince George trying to get something worked out with him. (Junior A) was the last option for me. I definitely wanted to be in this league and play here again.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Setback won’t deter Wotherspoon RED DEER SPEEDSKATER MISSED QUALIFYING FOR CANADA’S WORLD CUP TEAM BUT KNOWS HE HAS TIME TO QUALIFY FOR OLYMPICS IN COMEBACK BID BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Jeremy Wotherspoon remains committed to an Olympic comeback in speedskating despite a setback. The four-time Olympian from Red Deer, missed qualifying for Canada’s World Cup team in the 500 metres Thursday In his first races since the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, Wotherspoon needed a top-five result at trials to represent Canada in World Cup races this fall, but he finished 11th. The 36-year-old will race the 1,000 metres at the Olympic Oval on Friday, but the 500 metres is his specialty. Wotherspoon still holds the world record of 34.03 seconds set in Salt Lake City in 2007. The Olympic trials for Canada’s long-track speedskating team are Dec. 28 to Jan. 3. Wotherspoon believes that’s enough time to get his race legs back and compete for a medal at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. “As much as I’d like to do 500-metre World Cups, it’s not my main goal,” he said. “My goal is to build and build towards the Olympics. “I know there’s still a couple of months before the Olympics trials. After that, there’s a month and a half before the Olympics so, it’ll come quick, but it’s still a lot of days for me to focus and lot of days for me to build up to that competition.” Wotherspoon announced in June he was coming out of retirement for another shot at Olympic glory. He’s earned more World Cup medals than any other man with a career 67. Wotherspoon won three 500-metre world titles and another in the 1,000, plus four world sprint championships during a career that spanned a decade and a half. He was inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame last year. Wotherspoon’s Olympic silver medal in the 500 metres in 1998 is overshadowed by an absence of medals at three subsequent Winter Games. He was the favourite to win the 500 in 2002, but stumbled and fell. Wotherspoon was ninth in the 500 in both 2006

Jeremy Wotherspoon, from Red Deer, skates during the Canadian World Cup team trials Calgary, Thursday. and 2010. When Wotherspoon announced in March, 2010, that he was done racing, he said then it would take a while to get used to the idea. The lure of competition and the desire to race for a medal in the Olympics continued to call to him while coaching in Inzell, Germany, the last three years. “I missed that feeling of excitement and adrenaline and then the relaxation you get after a competition,” Wotherspoon explained. “It’s a nice type of feeling to have. At the same time, I’m committed to being the best I can at Sochi. I don’t want to go there as a tourist getting experience because I have that experience. “I want to go there and be able to compete. If I feel there’s no way I can go and compete, I don’t want to take

that spot away from someone else who could gain valuable experience.” The men’s 500-metre rankings were determined by the combined time of two races, but Wotherspoon stepped to the start line three times Thursday He was given a re-race of his opening 500 metres because the other skater in his pairing, Patrick Marsh, blocked him on the backstretch during the lane change. So after posting a time of 35.43 seconds in his second race, Wotherspoon skated alone in his re-race for a time of 35.69. “It was a tougher day than I expected,” he said. “It’s not a normal competition feeling when you’re by yourself at the end. It feels a bit like the competition is over. “It’s a good test, a good mental test. Even though I’m old and experienced,

it was a new experience. It was a good test to try and perform well under difficult circumstances.” Edmonton’s Jamie Gregg, Calgary’s Gilmore Junio, William Dutton of Humboldt, Sask., Laurent Dubreuil of Levis, Que., and Alexandre St-Jean of Quebec City finished first to fifth in the men’s 500 metres. The Canadian trials continue Friday until Sunday. The top five racers in all distances qualify to race the first four World Cups of the season with the exception of the men’s 5,000 and 10,000 metres, in which only three skaters will be named to the Canadian team. The World Cup season opens Nov. 8-10 in Calgary followed by stops in Salt Lake City, Astana, Kazakhstan, and Berlin, Germany. Olympic 1,000-metre champion Christine Nesbitt of London, Ont., has already qualified to race the 1,000 and 1,500 metres. She won the 500 metres Thursday. Regina’s Marsha Hudey, Wotherspoon’s sister Danielle from Red Deer, Calgary’s Kaylin Irvine and Winnipeg’s Shannon Rempel were second to fifth respectively. Ottawa’s Ivanie Blondin won the women’s 3,000 metres ahead of Winnipeg’s Brittany Schussler, Ottawa’s Lauren McGuire, Brianne Tutt of Airdrie, Alta., and Edmonton’s Nicole Garrido. Saskatoon’s Lucas Makowsky was the fastest in the men’s 5,000 metres. Toronto’s Jordan Belchos finished second and Mathieu Giroux of Pointe-auxTrembles, Que., was third. The top 500-metre men in the world currently includes 24-year-old TaeBum Mo of South Korea, 27-year-old Michel Mulder of the Netherlands and 28-year-old Joji Kato of Japan. Wotherspoon turns 37 later this month. Canada’s Clara Hughes won an Olympic bronze medal in the 5,000 metres at age 37 in 2010, but distance racing favours older athletes because of the years it takes to build up a big aerobic engine. Sprinting requires fast-twitch muscles and explosive training on and off the ice. “Time will tell, but I don’t think I’ve lost my ability to move fast,” Wotherspoon said. “I feel like I just need to get it back.”

NHL not moving fast enough Wickenheiser, in dealing with concussions WOMEN’S HOCKEY

injuries or helping former players that was the NFL players union. Look, we all understand that in a contact sport like hockey concussions will occur, and that contact is important to the essence of the game. We all understand there will also be moments of unwanted violence in the sport that will have to be dealt with. So the idea is reduce the number incidents and the number of brain injuries, and to root out the unnecessary incidents. The NHL, sadly, is in the business today and every day of trying to downplay brain injuries in the game. Certainly the important findings released in the Mayo Clinic conference were nowhere to be found on the NHL.com., which purports to be a non-partisan web site and attracts millions of clicks a week. Hear no evil. See no evil. The problem simply doesn’t exist, even if the New York Times says it does. Last week, meanwhile, one of the sport’s most electrifying players, Rick Nash, was struck down with an illegal check to the head by San Jose defenceman Brad Stuart. Stuart received extra discipline in the form of a three-game suspension. Nash, who has been forced to deal with a brain injury before, isn’t back and isn’t likely to be back any time soon, based on reports out of New York. Stuart will be back this Thursday. The suspension to Stuart, clearly, just wasn’t long enough to deter anyone if the idea is to stop brain injuries from occurring as much as possible. Shouldn’t the union be standing up for Nash? Isn’t the onus on the players, not just the GMs, to try and protect the brains of other players? Similarly, if the Parros and USHL incidents aren’t strong enough suggestions that fighting is becoming increasingly dangerous, the evidence from the Mayo Clinic conference that fights are far more likely to cause brain injuries in hockey should offer incontrovertible evidence for the NHL to act if, as it claims, it wants to reduce the number of brain injuries in the game. There’s really very little to actually argue about anymore. Don Cherry’s embarrassing performance on the taxpayer-funded CBC on Saturday in which he railed against the classy Yzerman (he was later forced to apologize) and told co-host Ron MacLean to “Shaddup, shaddup, shaddup!” (see the video attached) when MacLean dared to bring up the issue of scientific research on brain injuries really just buttresses the argument of those who want fighting out of hockey. Evidently, you’d have to be kinda crazy to want it kept in. History, inevitably, will prove that.

Johnson lead Canada to big win over U.S. EACH SCORE PAIR OF GOALS IN OLYMPIC TUNE-UP WIN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 6 U.S. 3 BOISBRIAND, Que. — Hayley Wickenheiser and Rebecca Johnston each scored twice to give Canada’s women’s hockey team a 6-3 victory over the United States in preOlympic action on Thursday night. Caroline Ouellette and Jayna Hefford also scored for Canada, while Charline Labonte allowed three goals on 24 shots. Brianna Decker, Kendall Coyne, and Jocelyne Lamoureux scored for the Americans. Jessie Vetter, who only played the first period, made 10 saves. She was replaced by Molly Schaus, who stopped seven of 10 shots she faced. Team U.S.A. outshot Canada 24-23 overall. The game was the second of six encounters between the teams before the start of the Olympic Games in Sochi in February. The Canadians took the first game — last Saturday in Burlington, Vt. — 3-2. Boisbriand, Que., native Charline Labonte, who won gold with Canada at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, got the start in nets in her hometown. Johnston opened the high-scoring affair with her first goal of this exhibition series at 8:59 of the first period. Haley Irwin started the play, patiently holding the puck for several seconds in the American zone before firing on net. Johnston jumped on the rebound. Wickenheiser doubled the Canadians’ lead less than a minute later while playing shorthanded. Decker got one back for the Americans before

the Canadian captain put her second of the game past a helpless Vetter on a 5-on-3 power play. Johnston and Ouellette added goals for Canada in the second period. Lamoureux and Coyne scored consolation goals for the U.S., before Hefford’s backhanded goal quelled any attempt at a comeback at 15:47 of the third period. Canada is the threetime defending Olympic champion. Two of those victories, in 2002 and 2010, came against the Americans.

RDC ATHLETICS QUEBEC CITY — RDC’s Kyle Morrison turned in the second best round of the day during the second round of the 54-hole Canadian Colleges Athletic Association golf championship Thursday. Morrison shot a three-under par 69, which was one stroke back of overall leader Colton Kalkanis of Georgian College of Barrie, Ont. Morrison is in a second-place tie with Alex Dumais of Humber College of Etobicoke, Ont., at 141, five strokes back of Kalkanis. Darren Windle is second among RDC competitors after shooting a 77 Thursday. He is tied for 28th at 151 while Jeff Northcott shot an 81 for a 156 total, which left him in a tie for 50th. Brandon Ponich is tied for 58th at 158 after shooting a 77 while Branton Tessier is 68th at 162 after an 82. The RDC men’s team is eighth overall at 605 with Fraser Valley of Abbotsford, B,.C., first at 573, six strokes ahead of Humber College. Jamieson Smeaton shot an 86 and leads the RDC women with a 171 total, which leaves her in a tie for 14th. Kim Swain shot a 90 and is 19th at 175 while Melissa Koster had a 96 and is 25th at 195. The RDC women sit seventh overall at 347, well behind Fraser Valley’s 302.

RINGETTE The Red Deer Resistance scored with 15 seconds remaining in the game to down Edmonton 4-3 in the final of the U14B division of the St. Albert Turkey Ring

ringette tournament during the weekend. In pool play the Red Deer squad also defeated Beaumont 5-2. St. Albert 6-3 and tied Edmonton 3-3.

STORY FROM PAGE B1

OILERS: Done better “We should have done better. It’s tough,” Hall added. Edmonton has had its struggles on Long Island, too. This was the Oilers’ seventh straight road loss to the Islanders and their ninth in 12 overall meetings with New York. They haven’t beaten the Islanders on the road since Dec. 14, 1999. The Islanders, 2-0-2 at home, surrendered late tying goals to Columbus and Buffalo before losing in shootouts at Nassau Coliseum. Against the Oilers, they played a strong third, outshooting Edmonton 158 and giving the Oilers few quality chances against Evgeni Nabokov, who made 27 saves. Okposo’s power-play goal, which came while Luke Gazdic served a tripping penalty, pulled the Islanders even. After Bailey opened the scoring at 9:59 of the first, Hall tied it with at 15:52 with a wrist shot from the left circle. He then knocked a rebound past Nabokov at 16:00. Except for the lapse during Hall’s scoring spurt, the Islanders dominated a briskly played first period, outshooting the Oilers 16-7. New York outshot Edmonton 40-29 overall. New Oilers coach Dallas Eakins was showing signs of exasperation, usually reserved for midseason slumps when teams tumble from playoff contention. After only eight games behind the bench, he was shaking his head. “I knew this renovation was going to be messy, but I didn’t think it would be this messy,” he said of the Oilers, who haven’t reached the playoffs since 2006. The 38-year-old Nabokov made several sharp saves for the Islanders, particularly on a one-timer by Nail Yakupov midway through the second. He recorded his 338th career win, 18th on the NHL list. “Your goalie has to be your best player sometimes, and Nabby certainly was, especially for the three penalties we had to kill,” Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. “He was our best guy tonight.” The Oilers, who have allowed a league-high 35 goals, were coming off a 3-2 loss at Pittsburgh on Tuesday after a 4-2 defeat at Washington the previous night. NOTES: The teams will meet March 6 in Edmonton. ... The Oilers are 0-3-1 on a six-game trip that continues in Ottawa on Saturday and concludes in Montreal on Oct. 22. ... The Oilers were missing centre Sam Gagner (broken jaw) and defenceman Corey Potter (back). ... Islanders fans booed Edmonton’s Ryan Smyth every time he touched the puck. Smyth left the Islanders after playing only 18 games after a heralded trade late in the 2006-07 season.

The Red Deer Kinsmen have been doing this lottery for 34 years now and all of the money we raise from it stays in our community. We touch way more lives than a lot of people realize. It’s easy to see the Bricks and Mortar of the Kinsmens effect on our city. Whether it’s one of the many Playgrounds, Arenas, Discovery Kanyon, Library Link or the new Family Link center in Parkland Mall those things are only a very small part of what we are able to do. We are Proud to have been associated with some Truly Outstanding Groups such as the Red Deer Food Bank, Cystic Fibrosis, The Red Cross, The Youth and Volunteer Center, Central Alberta Emergency Women’s Shelter, Red Deer Pond Hockey, Minor Hockey, Red Deer Public School Board Foundation - Bright Start Program, The Hospice Society, Red Deer Royals, Red Deer College, Pediatric Ward, Blackfalds Field House, Penhold Multi Plex and so, so may more!! These invisible charities are so important to our way of life here that it is crucial that we as a community always do what we can to support them and that is what we strive to do. By being able to help provide funding for these and other group’s helps them to make incredible changes in people’s lives that would otherwise be impossible. We are so fortunate to live in a community of such caring, giving people. It is because of them that we are able to do what we do simply said, without your support we are nothing! That being said. I believe that we are a Community of Heroes. It is because of People like you that we are able to do what we do and I Thank You for it. Our lottery unlike many others does not employ a marketing company to run it. All the work is done by volunteers which keeps overhead down and leaves more money here in the community.

Henry cards Red Sox take stranglehold of series with win over Tigers a 60 for firstround lead in Las Vegas BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — J.J. Henry made a 50-foot eagle putt from the fringe on his final hole Thursday for an 11-under 60 and a one-stroke lead in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Henry also had nine birdies in perfect conditions at TPC Summerlin en route to the lowest round of his career. The two-time PGA Tour winner broke the course record and was a shot off the event mark of 59 set by Chip Beck in 1991 at Sunrise Golf Club. Henry began play on No. 10, and birdied Nos. 12 and 15-17 on his first nine. He added birdies on Nos. 2, 4-6 and 8 before eagling the par-5 ninth for a career-best 7-under 28 on the nine. “I finally made some putts,” Henry said. “I’ve always felt like I’ve been a pretty good ball-striker, and when I make some putts I seem to climb the board. “And I obviously hit a lot of good ones today and hit some close ones, but it was nice to make a couple of those ones, especially that last one for eagle on nine, my 18th hole. I’m just trying to get it down there somewhere and obviously kind of tap it in, but it’s always a bonus when those things go in.” Henry’s previous PGA Tour best was a 10-under 61 in the 2006 Phoenix Open. “Obviously, this is the kind of week you (have to) shoot some low scores,” Henry said. “And obviously (there) is a long way to go, but it’s nice to get one early in the tournament and see if you can kind of build on it. You (have to) shoot somewhere in the low to mid 20s (under par for 72 holes) to probably have a chance to win, and I think the golf course is going to be there.” Argentina’s Andres Romero was second. He had two eagles in a 61, also his lowest PGA Tour score. “I was focused on my game and I was trying to do my job, and that’s all,” Romero said. “I feel very good and focused on the game and on every shot. So I wasn’t paying attention to the leaderboard and the other guys.” James Driscoll, Jonathan Byrd and Jeff Overton shot 63. Driscoll holed out from the fairway for an eagle on the ninth. “I actually hit a decent drive and it caught the left bunker,” Driscoll said. “I had to lay up to like 90 yards and had a pretty good number and been working on my wedge game pretty good, so I felt pretty confident over it, and it kind of took a nice little kick for me and went right in the hole.” Overton holed out for eagle on his opening hole —the 408-yard,

the eighth. Then Koji Uehara retired five straight for the save. Now Detroit turns to Scherzer, a 21-game winner, to try to extend the season. The Tigers will have Justin Verlander ready to pitch Game 7 if there is one. Detroit may be without catcher Alex Avila in Boston. He left after the top of the fourth with a strained left knee. Boston led in only four of 36 innings in the first four games, but the Red Sox won two of them. They struck early in Game 5 when Napoli’s drive easily cleared the 420-foot marker in centre and landed in the ivy above two rows of bushes. That was the start of a three-run second inning, and it was Napoli’s second homer of the series. His solo shot accounted for the only run of Game 3.

Jon Lester allowed two runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. He walked three and struck out three, and the Boston bullpen held on to finish off the fourth game of the series to be decided by one run. “There’s probably a reason I don’t have any hair,” Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. “It’s stressful.” Down 4-2 in the seventh, the Tigers put runners on first and third with nobody out when Jose Iglesias and Torii Hunter singled. Cabrera, who struck out with runners at the corners against Tazawa in the eighth inning of a 1-0 loss in Game 3, hit a soft grounder to second for a double play this time. That was Detroit’s last stand in this one. Craig Breslow retired slumping Prince Fielder to end the seventh and got the first out of

NOLAN RYAN

HELP GET KIDS INTO THE GAME!

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARLINGTON, Texas — Nolan Ryan is retiring from the Texas Rangers again, this time leaving his CEO role 20 years after ending his Hall of Fame career as a pitcher. Ryan says the move closes a chapter of his life in baseball. In his opening statement at a news conference Thursday, Ryan made a reference to resigning.

Red Sox 4 Tigers 3 DETROIT — Mike Napoli’s majestic homer began the early breakthrough Boston needed. Now, the Red Sox are a win away from the World Series — with a bullpen that Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers still can’t seem to solve. Napoli opened the scoring with another big long ball, Junichi Tazawa again bested Cabrera in a crucial spot and the Red Sox edged Detroit 4-3 on Thursday night. Boston returns to Fenway Park with a 3-2 lead in the AL championship series. Game 6 is Saturday with the Tigers’ Max Scherzer facing the Red Sox’s Clay Buchholz. “Our guys are well aware of where we are,” manager John Farrell said. “But at the same time the beauty of them is to not get ahead of themselves, and that will be the case once that first pitch is thrown on Saturday.” Cabrera was thrown out at the plate in the first inning, halting an early Detroit rally, and he hit into a double play against Tazawa with runners at the corners in the seventh. The Tigers scored a run on the grounder, but it was a tradeoff the Red Sox were willing to make. Napoli led off a three-run second with a drive off Anibal Sanchez into the ivy beyond the wall in centre field. Detroit’s starters had allowed only three runs in 27 innings through the first four games of the series. After pitching six no-hit innings in Game 1, Sanchez allowed four — three earned — in six innings Thursday.

Seahawks keep soaring with win WILSON THROWS THREE TD PASSES IN VICTORY OVER CARDINALS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Seahawks 34 Cardinals 22 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Russell Wilson was a loser in his NFL debut in Arizona 13 months ago. Not so Thursday night. Wilson threw for three touchdowns, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 91 yards and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Cardinals 34-22. “This was a really cool night for our football team,”’ Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. “We wanted to get on the road and get this thing done and continue to feel good about our ability to win on the road.” The Seahawks (6-1) intercepted two of Carson Palmer’s passes, converting both into touchdowns, and sacked him seven times, twice by Chris Clemons, who had been questionable for the game with a hyperextended elbow. Arizona (3-4) got a touchdown and one of its three field goals after Wilson twice fumbled while being sacked deep in Seattle territory. Palmer has thrown 11 interceptions in the last five games and 13 this season, second only to Eli Manning’s 15. Seattle sent the Cardinals to their eighth straight loss against an NFC West foe. Wilson completed 18 of 29 passes for 235 yards, with TD passes of 31 yards to Sidney Rice, 15 yards to Zach Miller and a yard to Kellen Davis. For the second game in a row, Wilson did not throw an interception. “The receivers did a good job staying alive,” Wilson said. “Patrick Peterson is one of the best cornerbacks in the game and the guys made some plays on him.” Palmer, 30 of 45 for 258 yards and a touchdown, was under duress most of the night, especially from the left side where young tackle Bradley Sowell struggled mightily. Seattle dominated the first half yet led only 17-10 at the break. Arizona, coming off a 32-20 loss at San Francisco on Sunday, took the opening kickoff and made it to its 40

before Tony McDaniel burst through virtually untouched to sack Palmer for a 14-yard loss. Seattle took the ensuing punt and needed just five plays to go 83 yards. Wilson, throwing off his back foot while retreating to his right, connected with Rice for 31 yards for the score. The next time Arizona had the ball, Palmer threw long to Fitzgerald, but Brandon Browner stripped the ball from the receiver and Seattle’s Earl Thomas gathered it in as he tumbled out of bounds. Initially it was ruled an incomplete pass, but the Seahawks challenged and the call was reversed to an interception at the Seattle 28. Again, the Seahawks moved downfield, going 72 yards in 11 plays, Wilson throwing 15 yards to Miller and Seattle led 14-0. A strong defensive stand helped turn things around temporarily for the Cardinals. Seattle had it second-and-1 at its 43 but failed to get the first down on three straight runs. On fourth-and-inches, Wilson tried a sneak but was tackled by Calais Campbell well short of the marker. The Cardinals struggled 26 yards to set up Jay Feely’s 49-yard field goal that cut it 14-3. After the kickoff, the Seahawks were at their 13 when, on second down, Matt Shaugnessy hit Wilson and the quarterback fumbled. Campbell recovered at the Seattle 3 and Rashard Mendenhall scored from there to cut it to 14-10. Steve Hauschka’s 51-yard field goal with 5 seconds to go made it a sevenpoint game at the half. In the third quarter, Feely’s 52-yard field goal cut it to 17-13, then Seattle went 80 yards in 10 plays. On third-and-3 from the Cardinals 48, Daryl Washington was bringing Wilson to the ground for an apparent sack when the quarterback got rid of the ball for a 6-yard completion to Miller. “It was a huge play,” Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. “Most quarterbacks, the referee would have blown that down. He’s such a great athlete that Terry (McAulay) let him continue playing, and you just live with the call.”

Red Wings beat Avs to snap six-game winning streak BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RED WINGS 4 AVALANCHE 2 DENVER — Johan Franzen scored two goals, including the tiebreaker with 12:50 remaining, and Jonas Gustavsson stopped 38 shots, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-2 win over Colorado on Thursday night and snapping the Avalanche’s six-game winning streak under new coach Patrick Roy. Pavel Datsyuk also had two goals, and Daniel Alfredsson added three assists for the Red Wings, who lost dependable defenceman Niklas Kronwall early when he was carried off the ice on a stretcher after being rammed into the boards by Cody McLeod. Erik Johnson and Gabriel Landeskog scored for the Avalanche, who finished a win short of matching the franchise record for best start (7-0), set by the 1985-86 Quebec Nordiques. STARS 4, SHARKS 3, SO DALLAS (AP) — Cody Eakin tied it at 12:58 of the second period and rookie Alex Chiasson scored the only goal of the shootout as Dallas ended San Jose’s perfect start to the season. The Sharks (6-0-1) fell one game shy of tying last season’s, team-record 7-0 start. Dallas also got goals from Tyler Seguin and Trevor Daley. Dan Ellis stopped 32 shots. Tyler Kennedy, Matthew Nieto and Patrick Marleau scored for San Jose. Antti Niemi made 28 saves. PENGUINS 4, FLYERS 1 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sidney Crosby, Jussi Jokinen and Chris Kunitz scored, leading Pittsburgh past Philadelphia. Evgeni Malkin added an empty-net goal in the final seconds. The Penguins were the latest team to beat the NHL-worst Flyers. Off to their worst start after eight games, the Flyers are 1-7 and mired in last place with two points. Jokinen and Kunitz both scored in the second, and Marc-Andre Fleury made it stand with 24 saves. Wayne Simmonds had the lone goal for the Flyers, who have yet to score more than two in a game this season. Crosby, who has 29 career goals against the Flyers, has a career-best, seven-game point streak to start the season. BLUES 3, BLACKHAWKS 2, SO CHICAGO (AP) — T.J. Oshie scored the lone goal in the shootout, Jaroslav Halak stopped all three Chicago shooters in the tiebreaker, and St. Louis Blues defeated the Blackhawks. David Backes scored a power-play goal for St. Louis, and Alexander Steen was credited with an even-strength score in the Blues’ first road game. Marian Hossa scored on a breakaway and set up Brandon Pirri’s first NHL goal for Chicago (4-1-2). All but one of the Blackhawks’ games have been decided by one goal. Chicago’s Corey Crawford made 26 saves through overtime. Halak stopped 27 shots. BRUINS 3, PANTHERS 2 SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Reilly Smith scored the winning goal with 59 seconds left, and Boston beat Florida. Smith backhanded the puck between the legs of goalie Tim Thomas after a faceoff in the Panthers zone. The goal spoiled Thomas’ first game

against his former team since he joined Florida as a free agent. Dougie Hamilton and Daniel Paille also scored for the Bruins. Tuukka Rask made 27 saves. Jesse Winchester and Kris Versteeg scored for the Panthers, and the 39-year-old Thomas stopped 37 shots in his return to the lineup after sustaining a groin injury on Oct. 8. KINGS 2, PREDATORS 1, SO NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Anze Kopitar scored the only goal of the shootout, lifting Los Angeles over Nashville. Slava Voynov scored in regulation time for the Kings, who have won four of five. In the tiebreaker, Kopitar skated down the right side and elevated a backhander over the left shoulder of Pekka Rinne. Matt Cullen scored his first goal with the Predators at 10:33 of the opening period for the early lead. Nashville finished a five-game homestand 3-2. LIGHTNING 3, WILD 1 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Steven Stamkos scored a tiebreaking goal with 5:04 left and Tampa Bay topped Minnesota. Stamkos gave the Lightning a 2-1 lead when he skated in from the right wing boards and lifted an in-close shot over goalie Josh Harding during 4-on-4 play. Sami Salo added an empty-net goal in the final minute. Tyler Johnson also scored for Tampa Bay. Ben Bishop made a series of saves midway through the second period, including one on solid scoring chances by Jason Pominville and Dany Heatley. Mikko Koivu scored for Minnesota, which was coming off a loss at Toronto. Harding, who entered with an 0.94 goals-against-average, made a pad save on Stamkos during a two-man breakaway late in the second. Koivu tied it at 1 from the low left circle at 11:05 of the third. CANUCKS 3, SABRES 0 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Roberto Luongo made 25 saves in Vancouver’s shutout win over Buffalo. Brad Richardson, Chris Higgins and Ryan Stanton scored for the Canucks (5-3), who are off to their best start since they were 6-1-1 in 2005. Luongo was tested with 11 shots in the third period before finishing his first shutout since Feb. 22 at Nashville. The Sabres (1-7-1), winless at home this season, and were again booed off the ice after the second period. Buffalo failed to build momentum after getting its first win of the season Tuesday at the New York Islanders. The Sabres didn’t record their 10th shot until there was 5:35 left in the second period. Ryan Miller made 31 saves for the Sabres, who were outshot 34-25. Mike Santorelli assisted on both goals for Vancouver. HURRICANES 3, MAPLE LEAFS 2 TORONTO (AP) — Ron Hainsey netted the winner in Carolina’s three-goal third period against Toronto, which lost goalie James Reimer to an injury. It was the Maple Leafs’ first loss since Oct. 8. Hainsey’s goal was controversial because he banked a pass off the boards in his defensive zone that appeared to be icing. No Hurricanes player touched the puck, but Carolina forward Radek Dvorak beat Leafs defencemen Morgan Rielly and Cody Franson to the circles. The linesman waived off icing, and goalie Jonathan Bernier didn’t play the puck. It deflected off the boards, off his right skate and into the net.

Bernier allowed three goals on 14 shots in the third period after stopping the first 23 he faced in relief of Reimer, who left 32 seconds in with an apparent head injury. Toronto forward Josh Leivo accidentally collided with Reimer as the goalie was trying to cover the puck outside the crease. Joffrey Lupul scored his sixth goal of the season 2:30 into the second period for Toronto. Leivo netted his first NHL goal 6:47 into the second. Carolina defenceman Ryan Murphy scored a power-play goal at 2:54 of the third, and Eric Staal beat Bernier at 6:48.

CANADIENS 5, BLUE JACKETS 3 MONTREAL (AP) — Tomas Plekanec scored with 1:07 left to break a tie and added an empty-net goal to give Montreal a victory over Columbus. Columbus was on a last minute power play when Plekanec pushed Brandon Prust’s pass into the empty net with 16 seconds remaining. It was Montreal’s second short-handed goal of the game after Andrei Markov’s secondperiod effort. Michael Bournival got his first NHL goal, and Rene Bourque also scored for Montreal (5-2), which has won four in a row. P.K. Subban had two assists for 10 points in his last six games

Alberta is looking for more full-time nurses. Alberta is a province that has grown to over 4 million people and is still growing. Our health system is growing, too. To keep up, our nursing workforce has grown by 13 percent since 2010. And as it continues to grow, we need to create more full-time nursing positions, so patients get the consistent, reliable care they need from our nurses. Right now in Alberta, only 31 percent of nurses work full time compared to a national average of close to 60 percent. We will always need some nurses working part time. But more full-time nurses makes sense for patients, nurses and our health system.

Hurricanes feature plenty of competition for spots at Olympics LOTS OF POTENTIAL OLYMPIC TEAM CANDIDATES SHOULD MAKE GAMES MUST-SEE EVENTS FOR NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The road to Sochi doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily start in Raleigh, N.C., but the competition for spots is hot with the Carolina Hurricanes. Carolina doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have half a dozen no-brainer Olympic selections like the Boston Bruins or Detroit Red Wings, but Hurricanes games should become must-see events for management teams over the next couple of months. They feature a roster that includes potential Canadian Olympians Cam Ward and Jordan Staal, potential U.S. defenceman Justin Faulk and a handful of others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of guys on our team that are potentially candidates for their countries,â&#x20AC;? coach Kirk Muller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a double added pressure, I think, on a personal note for those guys that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about it because of when the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get selected.â&#x20AC;? Alexander Semin is a good bet to make Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. Former Maple Leafs winger Nik Borschevsky, a scout for Russia, was set to be in attendance for Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Toronto on Thursday night. Jiri Tlusty could represent the Czech Republic, Tuomo Ruutu might suit up again for Finland and defenceman Andrej Sekera could be there for Slovakia. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even counting captain Eric Staal, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lock for Team Canada as long as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think your focus has to be on Carolina first, and then you kind of let those things happen,â&#x20AC;? Staal said before the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a goal of mine to defend that gold medal and be in Russia for Team Canada, but first and foremost Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to take care of the way I play, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with the Hurricanes.â&#x20AC;? Almost five months before the tournament begins, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a com-

mon refrain for Olympic hopefuls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always in the back of your mind, but I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say the guys in this room think about that a whole lot,â&#x20AC;? centre Jordan Staal said. Faulk, who attended U.S. Olympic orientation camp outside Washington in August, said he and his teammates donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk much about Sochi. That was more popular a topic during the pre-season and will be in January once the rosters have been announced. But until then, the Hurricanes will be watched. They face Team Canada general manager Steve Yzermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tampa Bay Lightning twice before rosters must be finalized, including two days before the deadline. Ward, who went into Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game 0-2-3 with a 2.98 goalsagainst average and .913 save percentage, probably has the most to gain from strong play early in the season, considering Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question mark in goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guy that he always seems to make big saves at key times and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big-game player,â&#x20AC;? said Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf, who played in front of Ward with the Red Deer Rebels of the WHL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won a Stanley Cup and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right in that mix of those top goalies in the league.â&#x20AC;? Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth at forward could make it difficult for Jordan Staal to crack the roster. But the idea of playing on an Olympic team with brothers Eric and Marc, a defenceman with the New York Rangers, certainly is an attractive idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be really cool,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep getting better and keep working harder and try to get that opportunity to play on that team. But obviously watching Eric winning the gold, you want to do it yourself. Hopefully I can keep improving my game and try to find a spot on that roster.â&#x20AC;? Time to do that is lim-

ited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off to a slow start, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;This team doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get picked at the end of the year,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Muller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So they know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a countdown clock going on.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also counting down for management staffs, which are constantly evaluating talent. For Canada itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches Mike Babcock of the Red Wings, Claude Julien of the Bruins, Ken Hitchcock of the St. Louis Blues and Lindy Ruff of the Dallas Stars, general managers Yzerman, Ken Holland of the Red Wings, Peter Chiarelli of the Bruins and Doug Armstrong of the Blues and Edmonton Oilers president of hockey operations Kevin Lowe. The United States has coaches Dan Bylsma of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Todd Richards of the Columbus Blue Jackets and general managers David Poile of the Nashville Predators and Ray Shero of the Penguins watching, along with an extensive advisory board of GMs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big group of people that are doing the role of picking the team,â&#x20AC;? Faulk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all kind of scouting on a daily basis, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poile from the stands or whoever it is.â&#x20AC;? It gives Muller some natural curiosity about playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; psyches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be interesting to talk to other coaches as the season goes along and see early on guys are off to a really good start, some guys on teams are not and how that definitely is in their minds like, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Geez, I thought this was the year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to make the Olympic team,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to a slow start, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Geez Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to (improve).â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Either way, being in the middle of so much Olympic conversation tells Eric Staal that the Hurricanes have â&#x20AC;&#x153;eliteâ&#x20AC;? players. Carolina came away with four medals from the 2010 Games in

Vancouver: Staalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal, U.S. defenceman Tim Gleasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silver and bronzes for Finlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ruutu and Joni Pitkanen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our focus is going out there and playing a team game right now, and I think if we do that then it helps our chances to make that team,â&#x20AC;? Faulk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think when you have that, guys having the opportunity to make Olympic teams, I think obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to be around because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good players, which just helps your team.â&#x20AC;?

has that spatial awareness and his shooting ability is getting better and evolving.â&#x20AC;? That vision helped Barzal score 103 points (29 goals and 74 assists) for the Vancouver NE Chiefs last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My success isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t determined by points,â&#x20AC;? Barzal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can have a great game and go pointless. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if I score 15 goals or 50 as long as we win.â&#x20AC;? Barzal took a long time contemplating his decision to either play for the Thunderbirds or accept a scholarship to play at a prestigious U.S. college. He made a recruiting trip to Boston before announcing his decision to play in the WHL in May. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had no second thoughts and quickly showed the ability to rise to the moment during his WHL debut on Sept. 21. In front of more than 5,000 screaming fans in Kent against bitter rival and the defending league champion Portland Winterhawks, Konowalchuk paid Barzal the ultimate compliment by selecting the rookie to go first in a shootout. After nearly losing the puck by pushing it too far up the ice, Barzal improvised and scored in what turned out to be a 4-3 Seattle win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I would have pushed it any farther it would have been a dump in,â&#x20AC;? Barzal laughed afterward before getting serious when asked if he was surprised and honoured to hear his name called first in the shootout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just because of all the talent on this team.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still early in his WHL career and the 2015 NHL draft is a long way off, but Barzal has already shown he is comfortable hearing his name called first.

He also has that indescribable something extra that has scouts predicting big things for the Seattle Thunderbirds centre. Leland Mack, the Thunderbirds scout who recommended Barzal be taken with the top pick in the 2012 Western Hockey League bantam draft, said the only player who is similar is Ryan NugentHopkins, another western Canadian player who was selected with the top pick in the 2011 NHL draft and now plays with the Edmonton Oilers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a lot of similarities,â&#x20AC;? Mack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just have that special glow around them.â&#x20AC;? Barzal, 16, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the pressure of being the top pick affect the start to his WHL career. In his first 10 games, the native of Coquitlam, B.C., has led Seattle to an 8-2-0-0 record, leads the team at plus-8 and has scored three goals with 11 assists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty impressive the amount of offence he generates,â&#x20AC;? Seattle coach Steve Konowalchuk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a smart player who makes good plays and good decisions with the puck.â&#x20AC;? Articulate with the media, Barzal seems to have an innate sense of how to walk that fine line between confidence and cockiness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The league has really good so far,â&#x20AC;? Barzal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it would be a lot quicker and it has. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as much time with the puck as I used to and everything is just harder. Everything has just gone really well so far.â&#x20AC;?

Many are already predicting the five-foot-11, 170-pound centre will be in the NHL at age 18. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one area of discussion where Barzal treads lightly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not thinking about that right now, obviously Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m focusing on this season,â&#x20AC;? Barzal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it is a goal of mine. I think that should be the goal of all top prospects.â&#x20AC;? Mack, who has been watching Barzal since age 10, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a realistic goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all depends on how much weight he puts on,â&#x20AC;? Mack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so exceptional in every way, but the question is whether he will have the weight and strength.â&#x20AC;? Konowalchuk, who played 790 games in a 15-year NHL career, said Barzal is off to a fast start on his sprint toward a professional hockey career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improving, getting better every day,â&#x20AC;? Konowalchuk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of guys who have the talent to play in the NHL, but to do that you have to play a complete hockey game, be a good defensive hockey player and win battles to get the puck. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved and is more consistent in all of those areas.â&#x20AC;? Konowalchuk said that Barzalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exceptional vision will probably mean he will always have more assists than goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His talent is unique and he makes it easy for the other guys to play with him,â&#x20AC;? Konowalchuk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a good passer that he has fit right in.â&#x20AC;? Mack said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Barzal has done since he was 10 playing against older players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just has the vision to find people who are wide open in the scoring areas,â&#x20AC;? Mack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Paul Pierce drove his shoulder right into LeBron James, a post-season foul in a preseason game. A message to the NBA champions? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a message to the league,â&#x20AC;? Pierce said. The Brooklyn Nets showed the defensive toughness Pierce said will be their identity, smothering the Miami Heat 86-62 on Thursday night after retiring coach Jason Kiddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number. Brook Lopez scored 14 points for the Nets on a night that peaked with the pregame. Kiddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 5 was lifted to the Barclays Center rafters during a ceremony a few minutes before the tip, honouring him for leading the franchise to its greatest NBA success. The game itself could have used the jolt Kidd provided when the Nets acquired him in 2001. Except for a few James highlights, it was typical exhibition play, with starters resting and subs misfiring for much of the night. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already a hint this could become a rivalry when the games do count, as Miami-Boston was before the Celtics traded Pierce and Garnett to Brooklyn. A day earlier, James noted that those two shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been so hard on Ray Allen when he opted to leave the Celtics for the Heat, since Pierce and Garnett ended up leaving themselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though Allen was a free agent and the pair was traded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell LeBron worry about Miami,â&#x20AC;? Garnett said when asked about Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has nothing to do with Celtic business.â&#x20AC;? James and Chris Bosh each finished with 16 points for the Heat, who shot 32 per cent and did next to nothing in the 20 minutes James wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got so many guys out, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to get better and not waste an opportunity to get better,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we did that at phases. Obviously, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have all our guys playing, but when guys were in the game, they played, worked hard.â&#x20AC;?

take care of that.” Dos Santos (15-3-0) took the title from Velasquez in the first meeting in November 2011 with a knockout in 64 seconds. It remains the only career loss for Velasquez, who is 12-1-0. “If you look at my UFC fights, most of them I knock them out very fast and it happened with him, too,” Dos Santos said. “The second fight he showed a little bit of who he is. He put on some pressure, made me tired and won the fight. That’s what he does very well. Now we’re going to see which one works better, my style or his style.” Velasquez is looking to guard against Dos Santos landing that one big punch because he believes that’s the only way Dos Santos can win. Seven of Dos Santos’s victories in the UFC have come by knockout, which is tied for second-most in heavyweight history. “I think that’s the case, landing that one punch,” Velasquez said when asked how Dos Santos could win. “We’ve got to use our game plan to fight him. Just be aggressive and in his face all the time and just take that away from him.” The Brazilian-born Dos Santos is a big fan of boxing and hopes Saturday’s fight helps this trilogy live up to some of the fabled trilogies in boxing history. “I want to be one of those,” he said.

UFC 166 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos will meet for the final fight in their heavyweight trilogy Saturday night in UFC 166. And whatever the outcome, Velasquez said he won’t fight Dos Santos again — at least not anytime soon. “I think it will be settled for a while,” Velasquez said. “I won’t say that I won’t fight him in five years or so because that could be a possibility.” But he does enjoy the rivalry they’ve had over the last couple of years. “It’s good to have an opponent like that that’s always pushing you to get better,” Velasquez said. Velasquez reclaimed the belt from Dos Santos with a decisive unanimous decision in UFC 155 in December. It was the first loss for Dos Santos since November 2007. Velasquez is expecting Dos Santos to take a different approach in this one. “I think his biggest adjustments will have to be his pace — not just backing up,” Velasquez said. “I think him being more aggressive. I think the only thing different he could do is to be more aggressive.” Dos Santos said he made a lot of mistakes in the last fight and he’s studied them to correct the problems before Saturday’s bout. “The past fights are going to help me a lot because I learned from that,” Dos Santos said. “I think the biggest challenge is going to be to stop him. He walks forward all the time and we have to

REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall jokes that if former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar moves to the province, Lesnar can pretty much pick any house he wants. Wall made the comment in a speech Thursday to a Regina business crowd that included the U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist. “He likes Saskatchewan, he told me, in fact he comes here regularly,” Wall said after the speech. “He told me he’s not ruling out moving here and he just wanted to check out, I guess, the political situation and the economic situation. It’s what he told me and I wasn’t about to challenge him on any of his answers.” Lesnar said he was visiting his brother’s farm in Maryfield, southeast of Regina, near the Manitoba boundary, to help with the harvest. He found out about the luncheon and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say. “I eventually want to become a Saskatchewan resident and ... I just want to learn a little more about the province,” he said. “I grew up on a farm. I love the country. I like the wildlife. I like everything that Saskatchewan has to offer.” It seems a far cry from when Lesnar fell ill on a hunting trip to Manitoba and, in January 2010, criticized Canadian health care as being no better than in “a Third World country.” “It could have happened anywhere,” he said. “That doesn’t deter me from becoming a Canadian citizen, no it doesn’t. It’s one of those things where it probably could have been anywhere and you know, who knows (what would have happened). It was just circumstance and that’s all it was.”

Scholarly work recognized RDC PROJECTS INCLUDE HAVING STRANGERS FIND EACH OTHER BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF

PEAVEY MART BARBECUE Peavey Mart is hosting a public barbecue today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its location at 2410 50th Ave. in Red Deer. The store is helping to launch this year’s AdoptA-Family program from the Women’s Outreach Centre in Red Deer. This program helps bring the magic of Christmas to a less fortunate family. All proceeds will go to the Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society.

Thrust into a new city with one goal in mind — finding someone you have never met or even seen before, within 28 days — sounds daunting. Robin Lambert’s social experiment examined the idea of searching for someone who is also searching for you. Lambert’s project asked two people to try to find each other in a city they didn’t really know within a month. The artist and educator at Red Deer College got the idea

from an off-the-cuff remark he made to a friend asking what if they were both lost and trying to find each other. “That stuck with me and I wrote the idea on the wall,” said Lambert. “From there, it kind of grew and I came back to Red Deer and kept working on it until it grew to what it was.” The people in the project were given little to go on, but had the goal of finding their counterpart in the experiment within a month. Lambert tried it twice, once in Vancouver and once in Montreal, with different people both times. In Vancouver, the two

people found each other within 14 days, while in Montreal they never met. “When you give someone a project like that, they both have a strong desire to complete it but it kind of competes with their own sense of loneliness and abandonment,” said Lambert, adding one participant was really frustrated after the 10th day and thought nothing was working. “They were able to delve into their own desires. What they’re looking for or where they are planning on going. It gave them a lot of time to think.” Lambert said they used many

means to try to track each other down, including signs and posters, and even going on the radio and putting out a call to find the other person. In Montreal, the two came very close to meeting as they were both at the same drum circle at the bottom of Mount Royal, but both sat with signs. “He decided to sit there with a sign and wait for someone to come to him and she did the same thing,” said Lambert. “Had one of them made the decision to look, they might have found each other.

Staff, parents, and students are hoping to make the 2013-14 school year at Satinwood School its best yet, because it may well be its last. At its Tuesday meeting, the Wolf Creek Public School Division board passed a motion to direct superintendent Larry Jacobs to explore the ongoing operations of the rural kindergarten to Grade 6 school and present a report back to the board in the spring. The board would then have three options relating to the school’s future — leaving the school open, closing it or modifying its grade structure. Jacobs said the invocation of the school closure process does not always result in a school’s

closure. In compiling his final report, Jacobs and division administration will be examining aspects such as population demographics and busing requirements and will encourage community engagement in the process. Lisa Stewart, whose daughter is in Grade 5 at the school, said it is “incredibly sad” that this point has been reached. She said the school — with an total enrolment of 38 students, down from 54 in 2011-12 — is one where students score high marks on provincial achieve-

The school is located about 15 minutes east of Blackfalds near the Joffre Nova Chemicals plant. Stewart, who leads the school’s parent association, had proposed changing the busing catchment area in the division to bring more students to the school and alleviate some pressure from fast-growing Blackfalds, which has full schools. “We feel as parents that we have presented a lot of possible solutions to the board but they don’t seem to be budging or willing to make changes for us. It’s frustrating,” she said. If the school is slated for closure, its students would be bused to Clive or Lacombe starting next fall. The province allocates money to divisions to give to schools on a per-student — PARENT LISA STEWART basis and, with an enrolment of 38 students, Jament tests and teachers know cobs said that funding would every student, and vice versa. allow for less than two teachers “It’s pretty much like sending and no support staff for Satinyour child to a private school wood School. for your basic school fees,” she said.

Despite the reassurance one could take from the theme ‘You’re never alone in the dark,’ for a 23rd year the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer’s Haunted House is set to scare thousands. This year, the club will have the help of creatures such as The Tormentor and Man’s Best Friend. The latter, however, will likely be no friend to the squeamish, and the former did not come upon its name flippantly. At 4.2 metres in height, The Tormentor is the big new scare at the annual Haunted House. “He’s sure to send you running,” said co-ordinator John Johnston of the “giant puppet” operating on an air compression system that has already made the inspecting fire marshal jump. Those brave enough to take in the attraction at Lions Plaza (7710 50th Ave.) will get an ominous invitation into the ‘psych ward’ from an “interesting character” at the beginning of their walk-through, after which they will encounter the robotic and demonic at every turn. The annual house of horrors opens tonight and will run every day from 6 to 10 p.m. until Halloween. It is bigger and it is better, said Johnston, with the combination of popular returning animatronics like The Flying Vampire and actors who have auditioned for the right to scare the socks off all comers. “Hats off to our volunteers. They’ve done an amazing job in terms of not just the layout of the haunted house, but the real attention to detail,” he said. Actors are shown a training video that is used by those in the fright business at Universal Studios, through which they learn the art of the scare without touching people. “It’s not just about jumping out and screaming. It all depends upon the role you’re in.

BRIEFS Emergency crews busy Rimbey emergency crews were kept on their toes on Wednesday night. Around 6:30 p.m., firefighters responded to a call involving a tanker truck rollover at the intersection of Hwy 53 and Range Road 40, just west of Rimbey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appeared as though the truck couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t navigate the turn and it overturned on the driver,â&#x20AC;? Rimbey fire chief John Weisgerber said. There were no injuries. Crews cleaned up truck engine fluids and water spilled from the tanker. RCMP said the truck was not carrying dangerous goods. Later in the evening, around 9:45 p.m., another accident occurred at the same intersection when a sedan heading west hit a parked semi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The semi was actually parked there because it had been assisting with cleanup from the first accident,â&#x20AC;? Sgt. Mark Groves said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had all his amber lights going and was visible.â&#x20AC;? The female driver of the car was trapped in the wreckage and had to be freed by emergency responders. STARS Air Ambulance was called and the 51-year-old woman was taken to an Edmonton hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had non-life-threatening injuries and is currently in stable condition,â&#x20AC;? Groves said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe she is in too bad of

shape,â&#x20AC;? Weisgerber added, noting she was coherent the entire time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was trapped inside a little long so when that happens we try to make sure they are taken to the facilities quicker. ... It was a tough extrication so we were there for a few hours,â&#x20AC;? Weisgerber said. Police are still waiting to interview the woman as the investigation continues. Speed and alcohol were determined not to be factors of the crash.

Woman sentenced A Saint Paul-area woman arrested in January on weapons and drug charges has been sentenced to time served plus 33 days after pleading guilty in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday. Tracey Lynn Mountain, 31, was arrested on outstanding warrants earlier this month after missing court dates in relation to charges laid by Red Deer City RCMP on Jan. 28. Crown prosecutor Jillian Brown told court that Mountain was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over for traffic violations. Police searched the vehicle after discovering that the driver, charged separately, was not the registered owner. A number of weapons were found in the vehicle and police learned that Mountain was wanted for failing to report to her probation officer. She was arrested on the warrant and charged with additional offences when investigators found that she was carrying 0.2 grams of cocaine. An additional charge of breaching release conditions was laid when Mountain missed court in Red Deer on

March 27. Logan Mitchell, 18 at the time of the initial arrest, pleaded guilty on Feb. 4 to resisting or obstructing police and was sentenced to 45 days. On Thursday, Mountain pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine and two counts of breaching release conditions. A charge of possessing bear spray for a dangerous purpose was withdrawn. Judge Gordon Yake sentenced Mountain to 45 days in jail, minus 12 days of credit for the time she had spent in remand since her arrest.

A photographic mural depicting Riverside Meadowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; past, present and future will be unveiled on Saturday. The $3,600 project destined for the west wall of the neighbourhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community centre at 6021 57th Ave. has been in the works since last fall. It incorporates archival photos, as well as new ones taken by a local photographer Mirjam Rand, and a digital art border. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows some of the history of the area, and how families and people are such an important part of the community,â&#x20AC;? said Shirley Hocken, chair of the Riverside Meadowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; centennial committee. The two-by-fourmetre mural was funded by money left over from the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centennial celebrations budget from 2011. Since local businesses contributed, Hocken said the committee wanted to create a lasting visual legacy for the neighbourhood. The mural, which was composed by Red Deer artist Carol Lynn Gilchrist, shows some landmarks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including

Further charges were read in court on Thursday to a Red Deer man who is already awaiting two trials on drug trafficking and other offences. Brian Randall Buxton, 31, appeared by closed-circuit TV from the Red Deer Remand Centre, where he is awaiting trial on charges laid in 2012. Additional charges read on Thursday include possession of cocaine for trafficking and possession of methamphetamine for trafficking on June 6, 2013, along with allegations he breached release conditions. Buxton and and a Sylvan Lake woman were arrested and charged with various drug and weapons offences on Oct. 23, 2013. Buxton is scheduled for trial in Red Deer Court of Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bench on Dec. 17-19 on charges arising from the Oct. 23, 2012 arrest. He will also stand trial on Dec. 10-11 on separate charges, including trafficking. He is to return to court on Nov. 7 to enter his plea on the additional charges.

SCHOOL: Twice as costly But this year, the school has 3.7 teachers, plus support staff, which makes it about two times as expensive to educate a student at Satinwood as compared to other division schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communities never like to lose their schools and superintendents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to be part of a process that closes them, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recognition of the world we live in and the things that can happen sometimes to small rural schools,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jacobs said he expects the local resistance to closure has softened somewhat over the years as alternatives have been explored. He said the school community has been very proactive in attempting to find solutions and has been a partner through the whole process up to this point. The division has provided $212,572 over the last four years to the school for support as options for long-term sustainability were examined. One of those options looked at was a modified calendar that would have had the school open nearly year round, but that plan never came to fruition. Other avenues explored were introducing Christian programming into the school to draw students, becoming a registrar for homeschool students, and funding the building privately to free up funds for the hiring of staff. In June, the school council passed a motion saying it would accept the school closure process in exchange for one more year of funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the community feels validated in the effort they put forward to investigate all possibilities. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given that opportunity and been a partner, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier for you to say at a certain point, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried everything,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? said Jacobs. The superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary report presented at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting cited the decline of young people getting into farming and the attraction of larger communities as demographic factors working against the school. But it also mentioned a proposed

piano recital tour throughout Alberta. The recitals, Liszt Extravaganza, focused on the work of Franz Liszt. Each year, RDC awards a total of $10,000 to recognize significant scholarly undertakings by full-time faculty members. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

DECISIONS: Little ones can SCARE: Midnight Madness make big difference â&#x20AC;&#x153;In your own life, (the experiment shows) how those little decisions might make a big difference.â&#x20AC;? Lambert hopes to try his experiment one more time, in San Francisco. This project and five others were honoured by Red Deer College as a part of its annual recognition of scholarly work. Also honoured were Laura Davis for her article on Obasan by Joy Kogawa. The story is about a Japanese-Canadian who is sent to an internment camp during the Second World War. Davis said in her article that Kogawa gestures towards healing anti-racism, but in no way implies the healing is done and that the racism is over. Davis was also honoured along with Roger Davis for their textbook Essay Writing for Canadian Students with Readings, 7th edition. This was an update to an existing text that colleagues had worked on. Brandi Robinson, who works in the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kineseology and sports studies department, was honoured for incorporating community service learning into the adapted physical education diploma program. She said they took a practicum-type experience and moved it towards a service-learning opportunity, asking people in the community what students can provide that has practical value. Larry Reese and James Wilson put together a documentary outlining the how actors, directors, artists and musicians are creative. Called Mapping Creativity, the documentary was two-and-a-half years in the making. It looks at the creative process and how individual it can be. Dale Wheeler was honoured for his solo

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A subtle scare, a hard scare and how to scare â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they learn all about that,â&#x20AC;? said Johnston. Among the special events scheduled during the two weeks are toned-down matinees for children from 1 to 4 p.m. on weekends and the even scarier Midnight Madness for adults only from midnight to 2 a.m. on Oct. 26. The standard daily openings are recommended for an audience over 10 years of age. The event is the main fundraiser in support of the local Boys and Girls Club. Last year, it raised $80,000, with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target $100,000. Johnston said last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold snap during the attractionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two weeks hurt attendance, while decent weather tends to see more people come out. This year, he said, people need not fear the cold outside as they fear the frights inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about the cold, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a massive, huge lobby this year and we can put a lot of people in the lobby and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be warm in there,â&#x20AC;? he affirmed. Tickets are $15 at the door, while groups of at least 10 can get theirs at the Youth and Volunteer Centre for $12 per person. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spook Passâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; providing entrance plus other benefits for $20 can be reserved online. Matinee tickets cost $10 per person while Midnight Madness tickets can be had at the door for $20. Johnston said more volunteers are always welcome to help with the attraction.

Fourth E. coli beef recall this month ordered BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Canada’s food safety watchdog has ordered another beef recall over possible E. coli contamination — the fourth this month, including one linked to at least nine people getting sick in Ontario. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Thursday the recalls show that government safeguards are working and that consumers are not at greater risk of getting sick as long as they handle and cook meat properly. “It shows the system works,” said Fred Jamieson, an agency spokesman from Ottawa. “I wouldn’t say there is any increase or greater risk.” The latest “health hazard alert” recall involves Kirkland Signature brand lean ground beef sold at a Costco store in Lethbridge. The food inspection agency and

Costco are warning people not to eat the product because it may contain E. coli bacteria. The agency classifies the risk to consumers as moderate. The agency said this is an expansion of a similar recall earlier this month of Kirkland Signature brand organic lean ground beef sold at Costco stores in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. There are no reported illnesses from the ground beef, the CFIA said. The E. coli was detected by tests done by Canadian inspectors within a shipment of 6,350 kilograms of beef imported from the U.S. Earlier this month, the agency recalled Compliments brand Super 8 Beef Burgers sold in Sobeys, Foodland, Freshco and Price Chopper stores in Ontario and Atlantic Canada. The Ontario Ministry of Health said Thursday that the Compliments beef has been linked to

nine confirmed cases of people getting sick from E. coli in the province, two probable cases and four suspected cases. The Compliments recall was later expanded to include some President’s Choice Beef Burgers and Webers Bucket of Burgers sold in Loblaw stores that may have been distributed across Canada. The agency said ground beef from the recalls was processed at Toronto-based Belmont Meats Ltd. and could be from Canadian, U.S. or other imported beef. The CFIA has designated the two recalls as Class 1, or high risk. “’Class 1’ is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,” according to the agency’s website.

MALL STREET MARKET

Things looking up for Banner Pharmacaps BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR It’s looking increasingly likely that a highly specialized manufacturing plant in Olds will continue to operate — albeit under new ownership. Patheon Inc. of North Carolina confirmed recently that it has struck a deal to sell its Banner Pharmacaps plant at 5807 47th Ave. to Calgary-based Advanced Orthomolecular Research. Patheon had announced in March that it would be closing the plant, which employs more than 100 people, on Oct. 31. Operating in Olds since 1981, the facility encapsulates nutritional and pharmaceutical ingredients in soft gel pills. Advanced Orthomolecular Research produces supplements and vitamins in two-piece shell capsules, tablets and bulk powders, but not in soft gels. Clark Sayer, Advanced Orthomolecular Research’s general manager, said expanding his company’s output to include soft gels is appealing because the pills are popular with many consumers. “The intent is to keep producing soft gels, using as many current staff as we possibly can.” Sayer expressed optimism that production at the plant could meet or even exceed current levels. But, he added, it could take some time to reach those volumes. “At this point all we can say is we’ll do the best that the market allows us to do.” Sayer also cautioned that the sale has yet to be concluded. “The anticipated closing date is Oct. 31 and until both parties sign on the dotted line, nothing is really cast in concrete.” Advanced Orthomolecular Research produces about 200 products, said Sayer, with all manufacturing done in Calgary. The company is currently completing a 60,000-square-foot expansion of its plant. “Our primary distribution is Canada, secondary is the U.S., and beyond that is the U.K. and Europe,” he said. Patheon bought Banner Pharmacaps from Dutch company VION N.V. a year ago. Patheon plans to continue operating other Banner Pharmacaps manufacturing facilities in North Carolina, Mexico City and the Netherlands. Sayer pointed out that the Olds plant has very sophisticated equipment, but is limited in its applications. “It’s designed to produce soft gels, and that’s about all it’s good for without a massive rework.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Ontario wants compensation

Service fees sticking point in customer satisfaction for big banks BY THE CANADIAN PRESS While Canadians are generally satisfied with the overall quality of service from the country’s six largest banks, rising service charges and fees are causing resentment among customers, according to a recent poll. The Ipsos-Reid survey, done for the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, found that one in two chequing account holders believe their monthly service charge is high or very high. On Wednesday, the federal government highlighted the issue in its Throne Speech, pledging that it will slash bank fees. “Banking fees have increased over the years and this has caused some resentments towards the big six banks, especially hearing the big six banks are making record profits,” said the survey, which was completed in March but only

recently posted on a government website. But the grumbling doesn’t mean many people are turning to financial institutions such as PC Financial and ING Direct, which allow clients to open a chequing or savings account with no monthly service charges. “Despite offering Canadians a strong value proposition, only five per cent of households in Canada have a main financial institution relationship with PCF or ING Direct,” the report said. “Much of this is due to the lack of a branch network which can be viewed by some as an obstacle.” The survey found only one in five chequing or savings account holders recently opened a new account in order to replace an existing one. Most of those who switched did so because they moved, but others changed banks to take advantage of reduced service charges.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

High service charges was the most common reason given for those thinking about switching. Canadians pay less than $10 per month on service charges for their chequing accounts, the poll said. Most people don’t exceed the monthly transaction limits set by their accounts but those who do, pay between $2 and $5 extra per month. The Ipsos Reid survey did find that few customers took advantage of low-cost chequing accounts offered by their banks. Customers surveyed said they saw no need for it, were happy with their current account, or weren’t aware that it was an option. Six out of 10 Canadians said they were satisfied overall with their banking experiences. Among the big banks, TD stood out when it came to customer satisfaction, and was rated number one in terms of convenient locations and hours of operation.

The Ontario government is warning the federal government it will be seeking compensation on some sectors that will be adversely impacted by the new Canada-European trade agreement being unveiled today. Details of the comprehensive deal, which will touch virtually every aspect of Canada’s economy, won’t be made public until after 7:30 a.m. ET, but provinces have already had the summaries before them for several days and have been preparing their responses. The official announcement, along with release of the agreement in principle, will come at an event with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso in Brussels. In a statement, Ontario Economic Development Minister Eric Hoskins said his government will support the agreement in principle but said he is concerned about the impacts on the province’s pharmaceutical, dairy, wine and spirits industries. Another key province, Quebec, said it is ready to issue its verdict but will wait until after the announcement to make its feelings known. The deal, which allows European cheese producers to more than double their shipments into Canada to more than 31,000 tonnes, could turn

into a political landmine for Quebec Premier Pauline Marois. Regional battle lines are already being drawn because the agricultural trade-off — a European quota of close to 70,000 tonnes for hormone-free beef from Canada, and even greater for pork — will benefit most producers in the Prairies, whereas Canada’s dairy industry is concentrated in Quebec and Ontario. The beef and pork deal has been estimated to have a potential value of $1 billion for producers, with expanded access for other Canadian foodstuffs, including grains, adding another $300,000. Dave Solverson of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association also said Canada and Europe will recognize each other’s food safety regulations, diminishing the risk of non-tariff barriers being erected. “If this deal is what we are led to believe it is, it is very good for beef,” he said. A federal government official stressed that the deal in its entirety will provide a boost to Canada’s national economy, creating an estimated 80,000 new jobs once fully implemented. Other provinces have already served notice they will be seeking compensation for changes to patent rules on brandname pharmaceuticals that will delay the introduction of less expensive generic versions by up to two years.

The S&P/TSX composite index was up 79.15 points to 13,036.36, led by the gold sector. Bullion prices were boosted as traders reckoned that the economic damage resulting from the partial U.S. government shutdown will further delay any plans by the Federal Reserve to cut back on key stimulus. Most sectors were higher amid relief that U.S. lawmakers have headed off a potential default but that feeling was muted by the fact that Republicans and Democrats will be locking horns again over the debt issue in just a few months. It’s been a long, hard slog for the TSX which steadily lost ground from the summer of 2011, falling as low as 11,513 as the European debt crisis worsened, Chinese growth slowed and commodity prices fell. Thursday’s advance leaves the TSX ahead up 4.84 per cent year to date while the Dow industrials has charged ahead 17 per cent. It also leaves the Toronto market well off the all-time high of 15,073 reached in June 2008, about two months before the collapse of Lehman Bros. sparked a financial crash. The Canadian dollar was up 0.38 of a cent to 97.15 cents US while the U.S. dollar weakened after the Senate and House of Representatives passed a measure Wednesday night that reopens the government through Jan. 15 and permits the U.S. Treasury to borrow normally through Feb. 7 or perhaps a month longer. U.S. indexes were mainly higher but markets were also pressured by weak earnings reports from IBM and Goldman Sachs and the Dow Jones industrials slipped 2.18 points to 15,371.65. The Nasdaq gained 23.72 points to 3,863.15. The S&P 500 index added 11.61 points to close at a fresh, record high of 1,733.15. The debt deal was reached just before a deadline when the U.S. borrowing authority was set to expire, which would’ve left the government unable to continue paying creditors. Goldman Sachs’ posted thirdquarter net earnings of US$1.52 billion, or $2.88 a share, up from $1.51 million, or $2.85 a share a year ago.

Analysts expected earnings of $2.46 a share on revenue of $7.34 billion and its shares fell $3.93 to $158.32. After the market close Wednesday, IBM said its third-quarter net income rose six per cent, but revenue fell and missed Wall Street’s expectations by more than $1 billion, pushing its stock down $11.90, or 6.37 per cent, to $174.83. Worries that the U.S. deal only postpones the debt problems helped push most commodity prices lower. But December bullion gained $40.70 to US$1,323 an ounce while the greenback weakened on the growing conviction that the Fed won’t be in a rush to taper its US$85 billion of bond purchases. The gold sector ran ahead about 4.7 per cent. Goldcorp (TSX:G) improved by 85 cents to C$25.26 while Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX) climbed 83 cents to $19.06. The base metals component rose 1.13 per cent even as December copper slipped one cent to US$3.30 a pound. Taseko Mines (TSX:TKO) ran up nine cents to C$2.27. Financials were also supportive as Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) climbed 61 cents to $60.81. Tech stocks led TSX decliners, down over one per cent with CGI Group (TSX:GIB.A) down $1.25 to C$37.16. Shares in BlackBerry (TSX:BB) were two cents higher to $8.44 following a report that Chinese computer maker Lenovo is looking at buying the Canadian tech company. The Wall Street Journal reported that Lenovo has signed a non-disclosure agreement so it can go over BlackBerry’s finances. The November crude oil contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange lost $1.62 to US$100.67 a barrel, its lowest level since early July, and the energy sector was slightly higher. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) fell 50 cents to C$33.26. MARKET HIGHLIGHTS Highlights at the close of Thursday at world financial market trading.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Statistics Canada says travel to Canada rose 1.1 per cent in August to 2.1 million trips, led by an increase in visitors from overseas countries. Travel to Canada by overseas travellers was up 5.1 per cent to 406,000 in August compared with July. The number of trips by Asian travellers to Canada reached 131,000 in

The CFIA said the E. coli in the recalls was discovered after people got sick and inspectors traced where the beef they ate originated. The agency said the cause or source of the E. coli is still under investigation. “There is a lot of rigorous testing, but, in all cases, if it is a small lowlevel sporadic type of contamination it can get through the system,” Jamieson said. Prof. Rick Holley, a University of Manitoba food safety expert, said the recalls should be treated as warnings that Canada’s food safety system is not as effective as it should be. Holley said more research needs to be done to prevent E. coli from getting into meat-processing plants and from being transferred between cattle on

Service on natural gas pipeline mostly restored after leak BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Service on a natural gas pipeline that feeds oilsands producers in northern Alberta has been mostly restored after being disrupted by a leak. “TransCanada (TSX:TRP) has confirmed that its response personnel successfully isolated the pipeline break section that occurred earlier (Thursday) on our North Central Corridor system, and has now resumed delivery of natural gas to most of its industrial customers in the area,” said spokesman Shawn Howard. Howard said a drop in pressure on the line, 140 kilometres west of Fort

McMurray, was detected about 2:50 a.m. Thursday. A Suncor spokeswoman said its operations have been slowed, but that it was too early to say by how much. No public safety threat was expected from the leak in the 92-centimetrewide pipe. It carries sweet gas, which is low in poisonous hydrogen sulphide. The nearest residence is about 50 kilometres away. Although a work camp is a couple of kilometres from the site, it was not evacuated. “Natural gas, particularly sweet natural gas, does tend to dissipate quite quickly into the atmosphere,” said Rebecca Taylor, spokeswoman for the National Energy Board.

farms and feedlots. He said the CFIA needs to explain how E. coli is getting into beef products despite testing and better monitoring of meat plants. “In my opinion we don’t have adequate control over the problem yet,” Holley said from Winnipeg. “Regardless of all the safeguards that are in place we need to do more thinking about how we can better stop this organism from coming into the plant on the animals in the first place.” Last fall, an E. coli outbreak from beef processed at the XL Foods plant in Brooks, made 18 people sick, threw more than 2,200 people temporarily out of work and led to the largest meat recall in the country’s history. A review of the outbreak blamed a lax approach to safety by both plant workers and federal inspectors. It recommended better training for CFIA staff and tighter enforcement of oversight responsibilities.

LUANN Oct. 18 1973 — Start of trial of Dr. Henry Morgentaler on charges of performing illegal abortions. 1929 — The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of Great Britain, reversing an April 1928 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, rules that the word ‘person’ in Section 24 of the British North America Act refers to both male and female persons, and

that Canadian women are eligible to be summoned to and serve as members of the Senate of Canada. Five Alberta women — Henrietta Muir Edwards, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Emily Murphy and Irene Parlby — had appealed the decision to Canada’s highest court of appeal. The fight began in 1918 when a lawyer appeared before Judge Emily Murphy and said her judgments were illegal because she was not a ‘person’ under British legal custom. 1854 — Reciprocity Treaty with the U.S. comes into effect.

House has plenty of energy efficiency The house is finished — five months and five days from starting the basement excavation until we crossed the threshold with the first load of furniture. The speed of the build was due in large part the attention to detail and the outstanding skills of the master tradesmen we hired. The floor plan was purposely kept simple, four corners, one peak; 1,400-square-feet of comfortable, energy efficient hillside bungalow with walkout basement and covered front deck. Thermal efficiency was addressed with six-inch walls complete with a thermal break provided by two inches of Styrofoam

wall cladding, the attic has R-60 blown-in insulation and the windows are the highest e-rating we could find. A HRV (heat recovery ventilator) provides fresh air preheated with an earth tube to keep the inside air fresh in the colder months when weather conditions, or seasonal allergens, force the closing of the windows. Hydronic heating provides under floor warmth in the basement space to ensure comfortable year round use. The concrete floor provides a heat sink to hold this warmth for long periods after the natural gas boiler has it to temperature.

Of course, we would be remiss if we did not finish off by using all LED lighting to help keep energy consumption down to the barest of minimums. With the house built to meet the highest energy efficiency our budget would allow, our next phase of construction will be solar electric production. As the grid was at the property line when we purchased the property, it was decided to grid tie and sell the excess back into the electrical system. This phase will consist of the installation of a couple of large photovoltaic arrays each in the 3,000-watt range. Research and data gathering

will include a couple of months of operation with the original electrical service providers, to provide a baseline from which we can determine “normal” consumption. The arrays will be sized to meet and slightly exceed our needs to the limit of the transformer already installed. Once we have finished establishing a baseline for electrical consumption, and determined size and type of equipment to procure, then switching to an electrical provider who is involved in the “light up Alberta initiative” will follow.

My featured car guy this week is Ian Haryett from Delburne. He is the proud owner and builder of a 1949 Mercury Coupe Radical Custom, which he has nicknamed Hot August Nights. I had the opportunity to meet Ian and toured his fabrication shop just north of Delburne. I was amazed and impressed with his knowledge, skill and setup of his shop. Ian does most of his own work and is not afraid to tackle almost any job. In discussing car building, this ’49 Merc took 10 years to create and it wins at almost every car show he takes it to. The Merc has only been on the road for three years since the build and Ian told me that it is a very comfortable driver. Here is a list of modifications that Ian made on this Merc to transform it into Hot August Nights… ● chopped and channeled it over a Caprice frame and floor ● suicide doors ● power everything ● nosed, decked, shaved, frenched, corners rounded, skirts ● Desoto grill with a modified front bumper ● white ultra leather interior with power bucket seats ● vintage air conditioning and heat ● four-wheel disc brakes ● Corvette steering column ● drilled and slotted rotors ● air assist on rear ● and stainless magnaflow exhaust. This is the longest list of mods that I have ever had to compile, and there is still more. Ian decided to use old Chevy power to push this Merc down the road. He opted to use a 1996 Corvette fuel-injected LT1 motor along with a 4L60 transmission. The rear end has 2:56 gears, which means that he can tour at highway speeds and still have good power and great fuel mileage, making it the ultimate long-distance cruiser. Ian got the car painted with PPG black with red radiance candy real fire flames. In the right light, you can see all the details. Overall, the car looks great and is the centre of attention wherever it is parked. Congratulations on building this unique, radical custom! Ian’s favourite hobby is cars, cars, and cars. He enjoys bracket racing, rod runs, swap meets and hanging out with other car guys. And Ian is crazy about a Mercury! John Rathwell is a local financial planner, car enthusiast and freelance writer.

Once the application to the AUC (Alberta Utilities Commission) is approved and in place, we will connect to the grid and start producing energy, initially using the electrical system as our battery bank. Eventually, excess energy will be stored for release when required during night or foggy days to keep the power flow into the grid as constant as possible. With everything in place, our home will be fundamentally net zero, producing more energy than it consumes.

COMEDIAN HARLAND WILLIAMS BRINGS HIS UNIQUE BRAND OF STAND-UP TO RED DEER BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Sixty years after I Love Lucy, Canada is finally getting the hang of making Americanstyle sitcoms, said comedian Harland Williams. As co-star of the new Citytv comedy series, Package Deal, Williams said Canada, “amazingly,” has rarely employed the multi-camera, live-audience approach routinely used in filming U.S. sitcoms, from Lucille’s Ball’s 1950s landmark series to The Big Bang Theory. An exception was the long-running CBC show King of Kensington. “But that was a kind of corny, cheesy show about some fat guy shopping in a market,” recalled Williams, who couldn’t sound less thrilled at the memory. He’s glad to see the Canadian TV industry seemingly taking a leap forward with the four-camera taping style used in the creation of his weekly series, Package Deal, which is filmed in Vancouver in front of a live studio audience. The show about three dysfunctionally tight brothers and the woman who comes between them springs from the mind of creator/ executive producer Andrew Orenstein (3rd Rock from the Sun, Malcolm in the-- Middle, Everybody Hates Chris). Package Deal, which airs on Mondays at 10 p.m., also features Eugene Levy and Pamela Anderson in reoccurring roles — and Williams couldn’t be more excited. The comedian, who brings his live show to Red Deer’s International Beer Haus and Stage on Tuesday, said he worships Levy from his days with Toronto’s Second City and SCTV series. “He was one of my idols, so to work with him is to come full circle.” And Anderson, who is not

at all ditzy in person, actually is as big a bombshell in real life as in the movies, said Williams. “She’s just born with it. She doesn’t have to turn it on — she can’t shut it off!” The 50-year-old comedian, who grew up in Toronto and now lives in Los Angeles, has appeared in tons of movies over the last 20 years — from the police officer who drinks pee in Dumb and Dumber to the hitchhiking serial killer in There’s Something About Mary. When it’s suggested that Williams is known for making a big impact in small roles, Williams takes mock umbrage, saying, “I’ve had some starring roles too — like in Rocketman.” He played the obnoxious, geeky astronaut Fred Z. Randall, who travels to Mars in the 1997 low-budget family comedy. Williams also starred in the 1998 TV movie Mr. Headmistress, in which he played an excon who disguises himself as the head of an all-girls’ school to escape some bad guys. (Think of a gender-bending, white, secular, non-musical version of Sister Act.) But, for someone who has spent a good deal of time in front of the cameras, Williams said he always enjoys performing for live audiences, since his wellspring is standup comedy. “I’m very comfortable in front of an audience because I like getting that live feedback.” He gathers inspiration for his act from all aspects of life. For instance, front-page articles about global warming, “made me decide to get into the rubber galoshes market. If 15 years from now, the ocean’s going to rise by three feet, then I’m getting in early . . . . .” There’s also his Walmart experience. Williams said he only recently set foot in the store to see what it’s all about.

Comedian Harland Williams performs at The Ice House Comedy Club on Oct. 15, 2009, in Pasadena, Calif. Williams brings his live show to Red Deer’s International Beer Haus and Stage on Tuesday at 8 p.m. “I didn’t realize how big it was,” added the comic, who claims he bought a rifle from the sporting goods department in order to bag an elk that passed him in housewares. “It’s the only store where you can yodel and hear your own echo.” Williams said he looks forward to performing in Red Deer — and soaking up more of that undefinable something that makes so many Canadians off-kilter funny. “It’s all the fumes from Syncrude . . . it’s

demented us to a degree.” Although he can be seen in a new movie that comes out in February — the raunchy high school reunion comedy, Back in the Day — Williams also encourages fans to tune in to his website, harlandwilliams.com, for some free humour by clicking on The Harland Highway. To de-stress, Williams turns to music. He performs with his reallife cousin Kevin Hearn (from the band Barenaked Ladies) in a duo called The Cousins.

The group dabbles in a lot of genres — from tropical flavoured tunes, to tongue-incheek 1960s love songs, to country music and dance club mixes. “It’s great, because we don’t have to answer to anybody,” said Williams. Tickets to his 8 p.m. standup show at 5008 48th St. are $25 from Ticketmaster. For more information, call 403-9865008. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate. com

Right Kind of Wrong gets it mostly right SCREWBALL COMEDY SUCCEEDS THANKS TO AN APPEALING LEAD, LIVELY DIALOGUE The Right Kind of Wrong 2.5 stars (out of four) Rated: 14A BY BRUCE DEMARA SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE There is a right way and a wrong way to do your standard screwball romantic comedy. Fortunately, the people behind The Right Kind of Wrong mostly get it right. Leo Palamino (played by Ryan Kwanten) is your typical failed writer/slacker who gets dumped by his girlfriend, Julie, in the most public of ways. Julie starts a blog called #Why You Suck, detailing Leo’s many shortcomings. It’s a concept that earns both of them unexpected notoriety and — gallingly for Leo — lands Julie a book deal. The very funny opening is actually the prelude to the main story, which involves Leo’s pursuit of Colette, a woman he meets on her wedding day when he sees her masterfully boot a football while wearing a wedding dress and heels. He is instantly lovestruck. “I met someone. Granted, there are obstacles,” Leo confides. And how!, as Leo embarks on a semi-masochistic quest to win the woman of his dreams.

If the premise sounds a bit outlandish, it helps immensely to have an appealing protagonist to sell it and director Jeremy S. Chechik has found just the right fellow in Kwanten (True Blood). He exudes just the right blend of rakish good looks and boyish charm. Kwanten also displays an amusing proficiency in juggling in his job as a lowly dishwasher, which somehow makes him even more endearing and he’s not shy about showing off his well-toned derriere. Likewise, Sara Canning as Colette, the object of Leo’s affection, exudes an aura of feistiness and intelligence that, along with a radiant beauty, makes her a worthy object of his affection. Then there’s Catherine O’Hara as Tess, Colette’s wacky, pot-smoking mother who, to Leo’s delight, agrees her daughter is marrying the wrong fellow. She lights up the screen in the precious few scenes she’s in. The script by Megan Martin — based on the novel by Tim Sandlin — has some amusing dialogue and occasionally wise pronouncements on the nature of love, as well as a mystical bear. When Leo says, “Beautiful things that seem impossible happen every day,” it’s almost impossible not to believe him. Set in and around Canmore, the cinematography is breathtaking, the scenery possibly a metaphor for the infinite possibilities life provides for those who dare to dream big. But the story takes perhaps a little too long to tell and the pratfalls that leave Leo increasingly bruised and battered throughout get tiresome.

Leo (played by Ryan Kwanten) and Colette (played by Sara Canning) getting close in The Right Kind of Wrong. Much of the remaining cast fails to do anything much other than pad the story and the two Troys (played by James A. Woods and Christopher Trussell) — friends of Danny, the groom — are too cartoonishly

villainous. Ex-Mad TV alumnus Will Sasso is not particularly amusing in the role of Leo’s best buddy, Neil. But there are enough moments of levity and wisdom, appealing performances by

the leads and a warm, romantic heart at the centre of the story, all of which makes The Right Kind of Wrong a pleasantly diverting romantic comedy. Bruce DeMara is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

NEW YORK — Alec Baldwin’s new talk show on MSNBC, Up Late with Alec Baldwin, distinguishes itself from other extended one-on-one interview programs like Charlie Rose and Inside the Actors Studio first and foremost with its set décor. There are no desks or couches or hard-backed chairs. Instead, Baldwin, his thick thatch of grey hair spiking like a porcupine, his collar open, natters with his guests on a set that resembles a diner with pretensions or a supper club on the skids. In Friday night’s premiere episode, Baldwin and New York Mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio sat at a green leather booth in front of Venetian blinds covering fake windows, papers and ceramic mugs scattered out over the Formica table top, as if the men had just fled crowded midtown streets to seek refuge in a rare Manhattan joint with bottomless cups of coffee, cloth napkins, free coleslaw on the side, and a persistent soundtrack of NPR-approved jazz. So ensconced, Baldwin on Up Late fostered the impression of ceaseless, civilized, My Dinner with Alec-style conversation. The show does not hard-cut to commercial, it just fades out while Baldwin’s mellifluous voice asks another question, as if while you’re watching ads, Baldwin is continuing his erudite conversation — unwilling to acknowledge, let alone pause for, anything so crass and banal as a 30-second spot. I fixated on the furniture because the proceedings were so willfully wonky. The exact shade of green of the leather banquettes (maybe, I think, a true Hunter green) was more absorbing than the very dull, informed conversation Baldwin and de Blasio were having about New York City tax policy. The first episode of Up Late was an overt statement of seriousness from Baldwin that his is a show for liberal grown-ups. (Most of Baldwin’s wisecracks involved mocking the former MSNBC show Alan Keyes Is Making Sense.) It was exactly the sort of in-depth conversational television that civic-minded people, cable-news detesters, and Aaron Sorkin are always lamenting the absence of. It was also no fun to watch. Baldwin questioned de Blasio from the left about marijuana and the police and asked skeptically about his ability to raise taxes. Falling asleep to Up Late — and you’ll have to trust me on this — it’s hard to tell if it’s Alec Baldwin’s or Jack Donaghy’s resonant tenor lulling you into slumber. Up Late could improve immeasurably — this week, thankfully, Debra Winger will be on — but it’s already the best show on TV to fall asleep to.

many folks riled up. People walk out of morning service and he’s called a “terrorist sympathizer” by one very loud, angry church member. He even gets slapped around a bit. The preacher’s son is a city boy from Denver, unhappy with the move to Holt, but he’s become enthralled by one of the local charmers. She tends to love ’em and leave ’em, and the young man wants his life over. There is a long-ago fiddling of the books at Dad Lewis’s hardware store, a young man is punished, by Dad Lewis and his family suffer. This too must run through the mind of the dying man; so many details that no one, other than himself knows. His two employees of longstanding who might expect to take over the store learn from Dad Lewis that Lorraine, the daughter, will now manage the store. There is a great scene here of the town women young and old taking a skinny dip in a cool horse trough on a scorching day. It’s all about life, and eventually death. The writing is top-notch, I recommend it. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

Roth looks to the future as Divergent trilogy draws to end CHICAGO — For a series that has sold five million copies and is poised to become a major motion picture franchise, Veronica Roth’s Divergent had humble beginnings. “I wrote the first one in my jammies in my parents’ house as a senior in college,” said Roth, 25. “I didn’t really know if it would go anywhere, but I thought it was worth a shot.” The third and final book, Allegiant, comes out Tuesday, ending the dystopian series that follows heroine Tris through a walled-off Chicago where 16-year-olds must be tested and choose between joining one of society’s five factions. Come Monday night, Harry Potter-style midnight release parties are planned across the country. The Hollywood version of Divergent, starring Kate Winslet and Shailene Woodley, will be released in March. After the first book sold, Roth said the publisher told her they were interested in the larger series. “I was like, ’Great! I have one for you and I have ideas,”’ she said during a lunch interview at a Chicago pub. She submitted outlines for what would become Insurgent, the second book, and Allegiant. She promises fans a clear resolution for Tris in Allegiant, but she’s not spilling any spoilers. (Even though a handful of copies shipped early, prompting Roth to warn fans on her blog to “be very wary” of what they read online.) “I don’t want to ruin it for anyone,” she said. But Roth did offer some context, saying fans should be prepared to delve into Tris’ consciousness. “It’s a little bit of a different kind of book than the first two,” Roth said. “It’s a little less action-heavy, a little more cerebral in Tris’s mind.” Roth wrote the third book at her apartment on Chicago’s North Side and in a nearby coffee shop. She attended Northwestern University, where she studied creative writing with teacher Brian Bouldrey. He said Roth’s honours project was a story about a girl searching for her father at a Christian heavy metal concert. Roth quickly showed herself to be a writer who understood plot and managing multiple characters to keep readers involved in a story. “Veronica is an example of somebody who, really, all she needed was somebody to bounce this stuff off of and permission to take risks,” Bouldrey said. He credits Roth for being part of the dystopian fiction trend that includes series like The Hunger Games. Roth said dystopian stories are attractive because they reach in two different directions. “You’re interested in the forward rest of the narrative, but you’re also interested in the backstory,” Roth said. “How did the world get to be this way?” And it’s no accident that the main character in her book is a heroine, like Katniss in The Hunger Games. Roth said she started writing the book from the perspective of Four, the main male character, but it wasn’t as compelling. “When I started writing it from (Tris’s) perspective it was so much more surprising and so much more interesting,” she said. “As I wrote the series, all of the prominent and most interesting characters I created, with the exception of Four, were women.”

NEW YORK — Ronan Farrow, already known to the world as an activist, attorney, government official and the son of Mia Farrow, is set to become a published author. The Penguin Press announced Tuesday that it had acquired Farrow’s Pandora’s Box: How American Military Aid Creates America’s Enemies. The book is scheduled to be released in 2015. Penguin is billing Pandora’s Box as a “hard-hitting investigation” of a “surprising dark side” of U.S. foreign policy. The 25-year-old Farrow was in the news recently when his mother suggested in an interview with Vanity Fair that he wasn’t the son of Woody Allen, as was long assumed, but of Frank Sinatra. Mia Farrow and Sinatra were married briefly in the 1960s and remained friendly until his death, in 1998. Allen has called the claim “absurd.”

Book of Nixon White House tapes coming next summer, 40th anniversary of his resignation NEW YORK — Selected transcripts and audio of Richard Nixon’s Oval Office conversations will be published in book form next August, the 40th anniversary of Nixon’s resignation from the presidency. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt announced Tuesday that The Nixon Tapes will feature the first transcriptions of Nixon and his aides discussing subjects ranging from Vietnam to Nixon’s 1972 re-election campaign. The country first learned that the tapes existed during Senate hearings in 1973 that looked into the growing Watergate scandal, which eventually led to Nixon’s departure. The last of some 4,000 hours of conversations was finally made public this year. The Nixon Tapes will be edited and annotated by historian Douglas Brinkley, who helped compile a book of Ronald Reagan’s diaries, and Luke Nichter, whose website www.nixontapes.org features digital recordings of Nixon’s conversations. — By the Associated Press

But she said she thinks teens are attracted to dystopian books because of the relevance the characters have in those worlds. “The characters in these dystopian books tend to have a lot of agency and even though they’re young have an extraordinary, sometimes unbelievable, amount of control and influence in the worlds that they live in, which I think is a powerful thing for a teenager to read,” Roth said. “It’s a difficult time.” The formula has added up to mega-success. It doesn’t seem to faze Roth, who said she didn’t see it coming. “How do you predict that?” she said. “It seemed impossible.” It may even mean screen time for Roth, who fans could spot as an extra when Divergent debuts. The movie filmed over the summer in Chicago and Roth was on set at least once a week. “I kind of just hung out and watched and ate Fruit Roll-Ups,” Roth said, emphasizing that she wasn’t pushy with filmmakers. “Sometimes I’d help with especially setting up the movie, so that it leaves room for the third book,” she said. “Because at that time only I knew what was going to happen.” She still is just one of a few who knows how Allegiant plays out. But the ending of Tris’s story marks a new beginning for Roth. “I think I’m going to take a little break and just kind of play around with some ideas,” she said. “I do love writing for teens, so I don’t see that changing anytime soon.” Bouldrey said he expects Roth to try something new. “I feel like she’s smart enough and advanced enough that she might use that success to take some chances,” he said. And while fans will start the last chapter of Divergent world on Tuesday, Roth said it will be sad to start letting go. “It’s been a part of my life for so long and such a huge life-changing part of it too,” Roth said. “But I don’t know, I’m excited kind of what comes next and kind of what characters and worlds are out there.” Online: http://veronicarothbooks.blogspot.com

EAST 40TH PUB NFL Specials COLLINS Jacqueline Mary June 24, 1940 - Oct. 10, 2013 Jacqueline Collins (Stafford) passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 10th, 2013 at TBRHSC Cancer Care with her loving and devoted family by her side. At 73, she ended her long and courageous battle with lung cancer. Born in Geraldton, Ontario Jacquie is survived by and will be sadly missed by her daughter, Pamelyn Jardine, grandchildren; Chloe and Hans Gustavson of Vancouver, BC, sister, Judi (Casey) Gehrels,

niece, Susie (Glenn) Freeman, nephew, Peter Gehrels, favorite, great niece, Kira Arnold Gehrels all of Thunder Bay, Ontario and a few close friends in Red Deer, AB. She is preceded in death by her mother and father, Jack and Gladys Stafford, husband, Greg Collins and brother, John Stafford. Being the resilient force of nature that she was, even during care from her nurses, she continued to utter her most famously heard words… “It’s not convenient, I’ve got things to do!” Jacquie was unique and one of a kind. She had e n d l e s s e n e r g y, l o v e d middle-of-the-night snacks, annual salads, keeping a spotless home, playing crib/board games, swimming, chatting on the phone with friends and travel. If there are snacks in heaven, you can be certain she will be asking if they have “real” butter! She worked at the Edmonton Sun, CN Railway and retired from the Red Deer Advocate. After retirement, she took pride and joy in her volunteer w o r k i n S e n i o r ’s h o m e s playing games with them. She gave up her long term residency in Red Deer this April 2013 to be near her loyal and devoted sister, Judi and family. We hold special gratitude for the extraordinary care and compassion shown by Dr. Kevin Miller. Many kind thanks to Dr. Kevin Ramshander, palliative care nurses Kim and Karen, many staff on 1A, home care nurse, Georgette as well as caregiver Nicole for their exceptional care. If so desired, donations can be made to the TBRHSC - “Exceptional Cancer Care Campaign”.

WETZEL Kenneth Delbert “Ken” Wetzel recently of Ponoka, Alberta passed away Wednesday October 16, 2013 at the Ponoka Hospital and Care Centre at the age of 87 years. Ken was born on April 11, 1926 at Bentley, Alberta to Ronald and Nellie Wetzel and along with his sister Maxine grew up on the farm. Ken’s love for the farm remained with him his entire life. No matter how far he wandered his heart always yearned to be home in the Blindman Valley. Ken leaves to mourn his wife Edith of 60 amazing years, daughters Dianna and Delamae (Scot), Grandchildren Melissa (Tim) Meghan, Matthew (Jamie), Cam (Karina) and TJ; great grandchildren Emilee, Jeremiah and Aven; sister in law Anna; nephew Larry (Gail) and niece Maxine (Brad), along with numerous great nephews and nieces. Ken was blessed with many friends of all ages throughout his lifetime that he held close to his heart.
