Guilty plea in escort scam BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF A man who was once highly regarded in Red Deer’s Métis community was sentenced on Thursday to four years in prison for his role in an alleged escort scheme. John Florian Poitra, 31, pleaded guilty in Red
Deer provincial court to two counts of robbery and two counts of extortion in connection with an operation in which men seeking escort services were lured online and then beaten and robbed. In an agreed statement of facts prepared with defence counsel Allan Fay of Calgary, Crown prosecutor Jason Snider described an operation in which two victims were robbed of cash, credit cards, vehicles and other valuables. The first victim said he met a woman on June

SUPER POWERED
BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Red Deer County’s Horn Hill waste transfer station is being considered as the site for a $45-million renewable diesel refinery that would use municipal waste as a feedstock. Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (CNSX: CMC) announced on Thursday that it has received written confirmation from Red Deer County that the municipality is reviewing the proposed project. Cielo said it’s already had discussions with the county, and is prepared to move forward. Red Deer resident Don Allan is CEO of Cielo. He said his company would like to eventually develop six renewable diesel refineries on the Horn Hill site, which is east of Penhold. Each would be capable of using up to 200 tonnes of waste material a day and producing approximately 5.4 million litres of renewable diesel annually. The diesel could be sold to petroleum companies and blended with conventional diesel to satisfy provincial and federal renewable fuel content requirements, said Allan. Other products from the refining process would include a tar-like substance that could go into in asphalt, and sulfur that could be used to produce organic fertilizer. An automated sorting line would be part of the facility, said Allan. It would separate compost and recyclable materials like steel, copper and aluminum. Most of the remainder would go into the refinery, with paper, cardboard, cloth and plastics all suitable feedstocks, he said. “We’re hoping to use about 90 per cent of the garbage.” The refinery would also require used motor oil, which Allan said would serve as a carrier for the waste material, and a special catalyst that would bring about the chemical reaction needed to create the diesel. The process is already occurring in a small demonstration plant, which was manufactured in Germany and used for a number of years in Nevada. Blue Horizon Bio-Diesel Inc., of which Allan is also CEO, bought the equipment and operated it in Red Deer before selling the technology to Cielo on Aug. 1. Allan said the two companies operate independently, with Cielo based in Vancouver but maintaining its operational headquarters in Red Deer.

Plains Midstream oil spill had little lasting effect on trees: study BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Mother Nature’s self-healing powers prevented an oil spill on the Red Deer River from doing any lasting harm to poplar and willow trees, suggests research done by the University of Lethbridge. A study team led by Stewart Rood, a researcher with the university’s Environmental Science Department, made three visits to the river following the June 7, 2012, spill by Plains Midstream. Up to 3,000 barrels (475,000 litres) of light sour crude oil was released into the Red Deer River from a ruptured Plains Midstream pipeline about one km north of Sundre. Plains Midstream spent tens of millions of dollars and employed hundreds of workers to clean up following the leak from a pipeline running under the river. Graduate student Evan Hillman was part of the team that made three visits to assess the environmental damage to poplar and willow trees two weeks, four weeks and 12 weeks after the spill. Graduate and under-graduate students returned last August to further study the area downstream of

what is considered a relatively small oil spill. The team rated the poplar and willow trees’ health on a scale of zero to five, and charted the health and growth of oiled and unoiled trees. Thermal images were taken of vegetation to determine if oiled leaves were suffocating. Leaves were also put under an electron microscope to study how the surface of leaves were affected. “What we found was that stream-side vegetation is naturally resilient and they are accustomed to disturbances within the river valley,” said Hillman. “So based on that, we found that the stream-side plants were less affected by crude oil than we initially expected.” Leaves covered in oil fell off trees soon after the spill. “Much as the leaves fall off in the fall, it was just a lot earlier,” he said. “But the next year the oiled plants still remained healthy. They had full branches of leaves and they had an increase in height. “So in the year following the spill we found minimal difference between the health of the oiled and unoiled plants.”

City signs oneyear lease for Michener pool
BACK FROM THE DEAD
PROVINCE REVIEWING SITE BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF The City of Red Deer lease with Alberta Infrastructure for Michener Aquatic Centre has gone from a three-year deal to a one year. The city’s lease expired on April 1, shortly after the province announced its plan to close Michener Centre and move the remaining 123 residents with developmental disabilities to group homes or seniors facilities. “We had a three-year agreement with Michener and then when we went to renegotiate, they renegotiated for a year,” said Shelley Gagnon, the city’s manager of Recreation, Parks and Culture, on Thursday. She said the new lease, which runs to March 31, 2014, was negotiated when the old lease expired and the city anticipates it would renew the lease again in the future. “We haven’t heard anything different that would make us think that we wouldn’t be renegotiating.” The city has had two three-year leases for the pool. The pool costs about $91,000 a year to lease and operate. The pool was scheduled to close in 2006 after the provincial board that runs Michener Centre said it planned to withdraw funding for it. That sparked the formation of a special interest group and a letter-writing campaign, leading to the city leasing the pool in 2007. The city said then that the Michener pool would also come in handy due to renovations planned at the Recreation Centre and G.H. Dawe pools at different times.

Research done by the University of Lethbridge suggests Mother Nature’s self-healing powers prevented an oil spill on the Red Deer River from doing any lasting harm to poplar and willow trees.
SPILL: More research being done Work done by the students may prove useful to determining what sort of cleanup is necessary following a spill. If the amount of damage is limited, the study suggests vegetation can be left to repair itself in some cases. However, if vegetation is completely oil covered and there is a risk to humans or animals, removing vegetation may still be the best plan of action. Hillman said there is still more research being done. One of the questions that remains unanswered is what process led the leaves to drop off the trees. A student is testing the affects of both crude oil and diluted bitumen on trees to try to solve that puzzle. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

A second man reported to police that he was robbed at gunpoint by two masked men outside another apartment building on June 12. Police responding to the call reported finding a man naked except for a T-shirt around his waist. The man said he was staying at a hotel and arranged a meeting after contacting an online escort service. He met a woman at an apartment building and was following her down a hallway when two masked men grabbed him, stripped him of everything but his T-shirt and forced him to provide his PIN numbers. Arrested with two other suspects in Kamloops, B.C., on June 14, Poitra was returned to Red Deer to face numerous charges, including armed robbery and extortion. Snider said he and Fay were recommending a global sentence of four years on two charges each of robbery and extortion, noting that Poitra had offered his guilty plea voluntarily and had never before been in trouble with the law. The early guilty plea spares considerable expense in a case in which the evidence is largely circumstantial and in which the victims were reluctant to testify because of their embarrassment, said Snider. Fay said his client, who was a child care worker and a leader in the Métis community, fell into “a downward spiral” after his mother died. Fay said Poitra became addicted to drugs, which led to his involvement with the wrong people. In accepting their recommendation, Judge David Plosz told Poitra that his sentence could have been much stiffer under different circumstances. “This was really nasty stuff,” said Plosz, remarking that the man had lived 31 years without getting into trouble. “All of a sudden, you get involved in this. This is kind of unusual and sort of astounding. These were extremely serious crimes. The victims were terrified.” Plosz advised Poitra to take advantage of the programs that will be available to him in penitentiary and to make sure he stays out of trouble afterward.
nications Commission says the 825 code may be assigned to new telephone numbers in the province starting in April 2016. Existing customers will keep the area codes they have now. The province’s codes are 403, 780 and 587. But the CRTC says they are expected to run out of telephone numbers by July 2016. Ten-digit local dialing became mandatory in Alberta four years ago. Otherwise, he said, the next sentence would be at least double, if not more. Plosz ordered that Poitra provide a DNA sample and that he be prohibited from possessing weapons for 10 years. Poitra was also sentenced to 74 days in custody for breaching release conditions, satisfied by the time he had served in custody prior entering his guilty plea. Suspects Lindsay Rae Mazzei, 31, and Mark William Bitterman, 30, are still before the courts. Bitterman is also charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Curtis Leroy Rangen, 43. Rangen’s body was found in a freezer inside his apartment on May 3. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com
DIESEL: Requires county council approval Since buying the plant, Cielo has worked with Olds College and a third-party engineering firm to improve the process, he said. “We’ve made it more efficient and we’ve managed to crack a lot more of the garbage.” Cielo now wants to develop commercial-scale refineries, and hopes to have the first of these operating at Horn Hill in a year. But Allan acknowledged that this is contingent upon the county giving a green light, which will require council approval. The Horn Hill site, which was previously slated for use by Plasco Energy Group to convert garbage into syngas for power generation, is ideal for Cielo’s needs, he said. Financing has been arranged for the first phase of the renewable diesel refinery project, said Allan. He expects the Red Deer County refinery to open the door for others. “There are lots of sites we’re looking at,” said Allan, adding that the technology is attracting international interest. “Once we get the first one running, you’ll see a lot of orders fall right behind it.” Red Deer County administration declined on Thursday to comment on the proposal. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Growth boards put on the back burner PROVINCE WANTS TO HEAR MORE FROM MUNICIPAL LEADERS BY DEAN BENNETT THE CANADIAN PRESS AND CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Alison Redford slammed the brakes Thursday on a provincewide regional planning bill amid concerns it would gut local authority and give her government absolute control. Redford said the bill, which had been moving through the house at breakneck speed since Tuesday, will not be acted upon further until her officials hear more from municipal leaders. “We believe that this (bill) will modernize the relationship between the provincial government and municipal leaders,” Redford said outside Government House, where she met with her caucus. “Now that it has been introduced into the house we know that it’s impor-
tant to consult with municipal leaders. “We’re going to make sure that the legislation that we put in place meets the objectives that rural and large municipalities have to keep building the province.” The controversy is over a proposal to expand throughout the province work that is being done by the regional planning commission in the Edmonton area. The legislation would give the province power to set up regional growth boards, appoint board members, set board mandates and have the final say on all decisions. Elected local leaders who didn’t work with the boards by filing all requested documentation would face a $10,000 fine or a year in jail. Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer said the city does not have a regional planning commission and has no plans to proceed with one. “Our growth and development is primarily driven by the Intermunicipal Development Plan with the County
of Red Deer,” said Veer. “We will continue to follow through what we have agreed to in the IDP with the county . . . If that were ever on the table it would require the joint agreement with both Red Deer City and Red Deer County.” Veer said at this point the legislation does not affect Red Deer directly but they will be keeping a close eye on the amendments. At first blush, the proposed legislation will have little impact on Red Deer, Veer said. Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski said Thursday the regulations have been in effect for a long time and the amendments formalize them in legislation. She said the bill sets out healthy parameters on growth strategies between the Alberta government and the municipalities. Jablonski pointed to a few years ago when the City of Red Deer and the County of Red Deer could not come to agreements on land issues. But fortunately, she said, they were
able to work out things out. Jablonski said the amendments will help those municipalities that faced a similar situation and may have trouble coming to an agreement. She said the IDP between the county and the city came as a result of the regulations already in place. Jablonski added the new bill will encourage the municipalities to do what’s best for the entire region. Opposition critics said such a law would effectively sideline municipalities and make their leaders little more than the province’s puppets. They also said the bill was being rammed through the legislature with little to no chance for input. The legislation was not signalled Monday by Redford in a speech outlining her priorities during the fall sitting. It was introduced by Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths in the house Tuesday night. Thirty hours later, it passed second reading in a late-night legislature sitting that didn’t end until almost 2 a.m. Thursday.
Couple jailed for abusing Train kills man, woman as handicapped relative one tried to help the other BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — They called it a “jail cell,” a makeshift cage in a garage made of chicken wire and blankets, trimmed with sharp nails so the mentally handicapped woman wouldn’t try to escape. Inside, police found a cuff tethered to wall and a toilet bowl filled with kitty litter. It was just one of the wretched enclosures police found on a rural Alberta property where 48-year-old Bet- Betty Anne Gagnon ty Anne Gagnon had been kept before she died in 2009. On Thursday, a judge sentenced her caretakers to jail cells of their own. Gagnon’s younger sister, Denise Scriven 47, and brother-in-law, Michael Scriven, 33, must serve 20 months each. Justice Sterling Sanderman said the couple failed to give Gagnon proper housing, hygiene, medical care and nutrition. “It was degrading, it was humiliating and cannot be justified in any fashion,” he said. “They engaged in atrocious behaviour that offends the sensibilities of
any rational person.” The judge added that some of the cages Gagnon was forced to live in “did not meet the standards some pet owners demand for their dogs.” Friends and former caregivers of Gagnon wiped away tears outside court as they talked about how they were glad the couple is going to jail, although they had hoped it would be for more time. “I just wouldn’t treat any human being, living being like that, whether animal or otherwise,” said Sue Thomas. The Scrivens were originally charged with manslaughter and unlawful confinement. But those charges were dropped earlier this year when they pleaded guilty to failing to provide the necessities of life. A medical examiner determined Gagnon’s death could have been accidental. She died of a head injury that was caused by either a blow to the face or a fall. Defence lawyers had asked the couple be able to serve sentences in the community, arguing the pair had become overwhelmed caring for Gagnon and had asked for help from family and government programs. The lawyers said the couple struggled with their own mental-health problems as Gagnon began acting out, smearing her feces in the house. They then took misguided measures to correct her behaviour.
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WETASKIWIN — An elderly man and woman are dead after one tried to save the other from the path of a freight train at a crossing in a community south of Edmonton. RCMP say the man, who was in his 80s, tripped and fell on the tracks at a major railway crossing in downtown Wetaskiwin. Insp. Scott Tod said the woman, who was in her 70s, was pushing an empty wheelchair ahead of him. She went back to help as the Canadian Pacific Railway train approached. The bells and lights were working at the crossing, Tod said, and the train repeatedly blew its horn. The man and the woman were both hit and died at the scene. Carla Werner manages a paint store near the crossing. She and her colleagues were on a break in the back
when they heard the train. “It had a short honk and then a more urgent honk and then it was just laying on the horn,” she said, noting the train doesn’t usually blow its horn at that crossing. “We kind of all looked at each other and said, ’That is a bad horn’ and we all bolted out to the front.” The train had already gone through the intersection by the time Werner and her co-workers reached the front and blocked their view, she said. But they could hear the brakes screeching and it slowed quickly. Emergency crews were on the scene quickly, Werner said. Tod did not know if the man and woman were related. He would not identify them, but did say they were both from Wetaskiwin. Niran Nachaba, who works at gas station near the tracks, said he knew both people and that they walked that route almost every day.

The pool is mostly used by swim clubs. The city also leases part of the Michener gym, and then rents out, usually to swim clubs, for dry land activities during meets or practices. “The city would have preferred a three-year contract because I think that gives the community greater stability with respect to our pool infrastructure,” Mayor Tara Veer said. But she agreed that the province hasn’t given any indication that it’s not open to pursuing future contracts. “As long as the province is willing, the City of Red Deer will continue to negotiate on additional contracts,” Veer said. Robert Storrier, Alberta Infrastructure spokesperson, said his department didn’t want to extend the contract past one year because no decision has been made on what Alberta Infrastructure will do with Michener land. “Because the decision hasn’t been made, they didn’t want to commit for anything longer than one year,” Storrier said. He said a consultant has been hired to review the site. “Once the studies have been completed, more detailed co-ordination and planning will then be conducted. All those studies should be completed in 2014.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Does Wright have right stuff? FORMER AIDE MAY HAVE THE POWER TO DESTROY HARPER – OR TO SAVE HIM Only a saint or alternatively someone with a guilty conscience would continue to play dead as his former boss wreaks irreparable damage on his or her reputation. Prime Minister Stephen Harper can only pray that former chief of staff Nigel Wright falls squarely in one or the other category. In the House of Commons on Tuesday, the prime minister depicted Wright CHANTAL as a deceptive HÉBERT political operator. Harper openly contended that when his top aide cut Mike Duffy a personal cheque to covertly reimburse a Senate housing allowance on Duffy’s behalf, he actively engaged in a deception that duped his boss along with all Canadians. To listen to Harper, Wright abused his trust. As an aside, if the sight of a prime minister who says he is very angry about a dubious scheme cooked up without his knowledge by backroom operators feels like déjà vu, it is because Harper has now replicated former prime minister Paul Martin’s initial response to the sponsorship scandal. A major difference is that Martin was not in charge when the sponsorship program went off the rails and he had not hired those who ran it. The Duffy affair has unfolded on Harper’s watch and under his nose. No amount of prime ministerial finger-pointing can manage to clear up some stubborn grey zones in the evolving Conservative narrative. It remains unexplained, for instance, why Wright felt he had to go to the lengths that he did on Duffy’s behalf. It has now been acknowledged by the prime minister that other Conservative associates had a part in what Harper now calls a deception. If
INSIGHT
Wright was going rogue, if the route he chose to put the Senate controversy to rest was taking the Prime Minister’s Office far out of the ethical boundaries set by the prime minister, why did no one feel compelled to give Harper a heads-up? Only Wright can provide more clarity to these issues. He may have plausible reasons not to break his silence but at this juncture one can only guess what they could be. It may be that he truly is the evil mastermind behind this uncommon scheme and that until this week Harper had been covering up for him out of compassion and loyalty to a former staffer. If that is the case, the prime minister has nothing to fear from his former chief of staff. Wright should actually be grateful that Harper held off for so long before throwing his body to the sharks who

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director
AND ERIK HELLSTEN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Alberta’s provincial health authority has recently come under fire by opposition MLAs and activists for closing 77 Calgary longterm care beds damaged by the June floods. The angry reaction demonstrates the common misperception that a shortage of beds is the major cause of persistent waiting lists for long-term care. Like other provincial governments, Alberta’s has faced very public calls to build more longterm care beds for several years. Instead of bending to these expensive demands, Alberta is overhauling the long-term care system to try and use its existing beds better — a wise and financially prudent decision. It’s doing this by changing the way it pays long-term care homes, shifting to a new payment model called patient/care-based funding, or PCBF. PCBF provides more money to homes that care for sicker, more complex residents. This is a sharp break with the past, where long-term care homes were given a flat rate based on historical trends and inflation. The old model ignored differences in health needs between residents. Homes had little reason to take more complex residents, who tend to be the most costly to care for. Many of these individuals languished in hospital beds,
waiting for long-term care placement, even though they no longer required hospital care. If the Alberta government sticks to its guns and fully implements the new PCBF model, it should help reduce wait lists and improve financial accountability in long-term care. Wait lists for long-term care have less to do with the beds available and more to do with how beds are filled. Long-term care homes are intended to provide support to residents who require 24-hour nursing care, not to act as an alternative living facility. An example of this played out in Ontario in the early 2000s, when the provincial government funded the creation of more than 20,000 new long-term care beds. After a short-lived dip in wait times for long-term care, the waiting lists quickly returned. With residents funded at the same rate, many homes filled the new beds with those that were healthier and less complex — residents who could have been cared for just as effectively in less care-intensive settings, like assisted living. Alberta’s PCBF model reduces long-term care homes’ financial incentive to cherry pick healthier residents by tying payments to the medical and physical needs of each resident. Payment rates for healthier residents are set at a lower level than those who are sicker. It also creates an incentive for homes to discharge healthier

port of one in four voters. Earlier this week some Conservative strategists found solace in the fact that Ipsos also reported that three out of four Canadians want Duffy, Patrick Brazeau and Pamela Wallin off the Senate payroll. But the proportion of those who believe that Harper is lying about his role in the affair is almost as high. And two-thirds of respondents feel that the prime minister has mismanaged the issue. According to Ekos, even as they have precious little time for Duffy, twice as many voters believe the discredited senator over Harper. How many would it be if the prime minister’s word was stacked against that of a former chief of staff for whose honour he so repeatedly vouched for until this week?

Alberta’s new payment model for long-term care a step in right direction
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Our recent municipal election campaigns were very well covered by this newspaper. Much data was published on each candidate, and if forums were attended, then every citizen had sufficient information to make informed decisions. Tara Veer is a wise choice for mayor. She is a brilliant, dynamic lady. Besides having solid family values, she has a university degree in sociology, which is the study of society’s structure, its institutions and its relationships. This degree would seem to me to be ideal for assisting Miss Veer in facing the challenges of the mayor’s chair. Red Deerians will be well served for the next four years. Allow me to interject a few personal observations regarding this election experience. Firstly, my wife and I spent a few hours delivering brochures in three of Red Deer’s neighbourhoods. One was an older neighbourhood (in fact, it was the first suburb in our city). I noticed that many older homes still had what was likely the original mailbox, by now somewhat discoloured and rusty. What was humourous was the signage still stuck on old mailboxes — No junk mail. This signage probably had meaning 50 or 60 years ago when the Royal Mail was first joined by flyers, etc. In modern times, no mail is junk mail. Every item is costly and put in mailboxes for a definite purpose, intending to be useful to the residence dweller. I would like to believe that most of these No junk mail homes are rental units with absentee landlords. A second observation: The question on the ballot regarding a ward system was an exercise in silliness. Appropriately, it received a resounding No, which attests to the common sense of most voters. A third observation would only be mentioned by a political animal like myself. Left-leaning or rightleaning? That is the question. Admittedly, I have no faith in left-leaners, in other words socialists. Their history, provincially in Canada, is littered with big government, big debt, big promises, bad policies, and bankruptcy (both financial and moral). Jim Swan Red Deer
are circling his office this week. Or, in the alternative, it may be that Wright is allowing Harper to methodically destroy his reputation because he is ultimately more committed to seeing the prime minister survive this fiasco than to salvaging his own good name. Under this scenario Harper can only thank his lucky stars to have chanced upon such a benevolent individual to act as his chief of staff. For it is now in Wright’s power — if he has a case to make for himself to clear his name — to destroy the prime minister. Harper’s credibility has already taken a beating over the past two weeks. For the first time since he has become Conservative leader, a poll — done by Ipsos for CTV — had his party in third place in voting intentions. Another poll, by Ekos, had the Conservatives tied with the NDP for second place — albeit with barely the sup-

residents into less intense settings since the payments are lower. Healthier residents can be discharged into assisted living settings, for example, freeing up long-term care beds and reducing the need to build more beds. Alberta isn’t the first province to move in this direction. Stung by its costly experience in the early 2000s, Ontario began rolling out a similar patient-based funding model for long-term care homes several years ago. Now fully implemented, recent data suggest that the average complexity of residents being admitted to Ontario homes has indeed increased. Waiting lists have also decreased in the past two years. PCBF also has risks that need to be carefully monitored. In order to get their costs below the amount paid by PCBF, long-term care homes could skimp on services, potentially jeopardizing residents’ safety or reducing their quality of life. Alberta’s ambitious effort to match payments with the needs of residents is a step in the right direction.

Ford crack video surfaces TORONTO MAYOR SAYS HE HAS NO REASON TO RESIGN OVER VIDEO BOMBSHELL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Allegations of a “crack cocaine” video that have for months swirled around the mayor of Canada’s largest city came to a head Thursday with a stunning police revelation that they have uncovered the video. The surprise police announcement came just hours after the release of a court document detailing allegations that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is connected to accused drug dealers and users, allegedly through his friend, Alexander Lisi. Ford has repeatedly waved off allegations of drug use as a vendetta from the city’s largest newspaper, after reports of the video surfaced in May in the Toronto Star and U.S. website Gawker. But even in the face of an announcement by Toronto’s police chief that investigators have seized the alleged video, the mayor wasn’t prepared to substantively address the turmoil. “I wish I could come out and defend myself,” he said. “Unfortunately, I can’t because it’s before the courts and that’s all I can say right now.” Toronto’s four major newspapers called on Ford to step down and city councillors predicted he couldn’t ignore the scandal any longer. But he appears prepared to do just that. “I have no reason to resign,” Ford said. “I’m going to go back and return my phone calls. I’m going to be out doing what the people elected me to do and that’s save taxpayers money and run a great government.” And despite the pressure on Ford, municipal law makes no provision for his forced removal from office unless he’s convicted and jailed for a criminal offence. The next municipal election is a little less than a year away. Ford was swept into office on the backs of a core group of staunch supporters, who praised his honesty and integrity. Whether the new revelations put a dent in that support remains to be seen, and could depend on whether Torontonians get a chance to view the video before they next go to the polls. Ford has previously denied using crack cocaine and suggested the video does not exist. But a “disappointed” Police Chief Bill Blair all but confirmed the video’s existence, saying that forensic investigators were recently able to recover a previously deleted file on a hard drive seized in June in “Project Traveller,” a drugs and weapons investigation. “That file contains video images which appear to be those images which were previously reported in the press,” Blair said. “As a citizen of Toronto I’m disappointed,” Blair said. “This is a trau-

City of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford orders the media to get off his property as he leaves his home in Toronto on Thursday. matic issue for the citizens of this city and for the reputation of this city and that concerns me.” Blair said they have no “reasonable” grounds to criminally charge the mayor based on the video. Police have, however, charged Ford’s friend Lisi with extortion over alleged efforts to retrieve the video. It will be presented in court as part of Lisi’s extortion case, Blair said. Blair, who has personally watched the video, said it’s believed to relate to events at a home on Windsor Drive. That home figures prominently in a lengthy court document released Thursday in a pending drug case, including a marijuana trafficking charge, against Lisi. A confidential informant refers to it as a “crack house” belonging to “a couple of crack heads,” where people go to “chop crack or just hang out and get drunk.” The police allegations also suggest the home is where a photo was taken showing Ford posing with Anthony Smith, who was later shot and killed, and two men who were subsequently arrested and charged with weapons and drug offences as part of Project Traveller. Features of the house in the background of that photo match that of the
Windsor Road home, police allege. Some of the members of the Basso family, who live there, have lengthy criminal records, including for drug offences. The police document shows that friends and former staffers of Ford were concerned that Lisi was “fuelling” the mayor’s alleged drug use. The document details evidence police collected in order to get a search warrant for Lisi. The document contains allegations that have not been proven in court. Former Ford staffer, Chris Fickel, told police he didn’t know where Ford got marijuana from, but “has heard that ’Sandro’ may be the person who provides the mayor with marijuana and possibly cocaine,” the document alleges. However, Fickel added, he has never seen Lisi provide the mayor with drugs. The mayor would call Fickel and tell him to tell “Sandro” that “I need to see him,” Fickel told police. Payman Aboodowleh, a volunteer football coach at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School, where Ford coached the team, told police that Lisi met Ford through him. He told police he was “mad at Lisi because he was fuelling the mayor’s drug abuse,” the document says.
TORONTO — The country’s largest city descended into embarrassing new political turmoil Thursday with police essentially confirming the existence of an alleged video appearing to show Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. The surprise announcement by Chief Bill Blair, which followed the morning arrest of Ford’s friend on extortion charges related to the alleged video, prompted immediate calls for the mayor to resign. “The mayor has a totally unique approach to these personal crises of any politician we’ve ever seen,” said Coun. Shelley Carroll. “(But) we’re now at a juncture where nothing he can do can make this go away.” Ford shoved photographers out of the way and yelled “Get off my property!” as he left home without commenting for what aides said was to be a routine day at city hall. Speaking later in the day, a far more subdued Ford said he was unable to defend himself because the matter was before the courts. “I have no reason to resign,” Ford said. “I’m going to be out doing what the people elected me to do.” For months now, the mayor has brazened his way through the allegations about the video and his purported drug use, saying only that it does not exist and he does not smoke crack cocaine. Ford has also refused to talk about his friendship with Lisi, 35, who was charged Thursday with extortion in relation to the alleged video. Lisi, who was also Ford’s occasional driver, was previously charged with drug-trafficking offences. The mayor has described him as a “good guy.” Despite the pressure on Ford, municipal law makes no provision for his forced removal from office unless he’s convicted and jailed for a criminal offence. “There’s nothing we can do at this point,” Municipal Affairs Minister Linda Jeffrey said at the legislature. “The province has no power to remove anybody, and obviously we’d have to wait as the investigation unfolds as to next steps.” Like others, including Blair who expressed disappointment at the latest turn of events, Jeffrey said she was “saddened” by them, but refused to say whether Ford should step down.

Vote to suspend senators MASSAGE pushed back to Monday CHAIR * at the earliest WITH HOT TUB PURCHASE OTTAWA — After repeatedly blaming the Liberals for stalling its bid to suspend three disgraced former Conservative senators, the Harper government has decided it’s in no rush after all. The government leadership in the Senate moved to adjourn early Thursday and to take Friday off entirely. That guarantees there will be no vote until Monday at the earliest on the proposal to suspend senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau without pay. Having botched efforts to rush the suspensions through before the Conservative party’s national convention, the government’s abrupt switch to a more leisurely pace prompted speculation that it now simply wants to ensure there are no further explosive revelations on the Senate expenses scandal until the convention is over. “I’ve thought for a long time that the rush to judgment here . . . was an attempt by the Prime Minister’s Office to shut (Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau) down, to shut them up, to prevent them from spilling even more details about the involvement of the Prime Minister’s Office in this whole sordid tale,” said James Cowan, the Liberal Senate leader. “It blew up in their face and now they’re on Plan B which is going to take them into next week.” Government Senate leader Claude Carignan denied the move was aimed at delaying any further embarrassments. He argued that he couldn’t have forced a vote before Monday, although it was theoretically possible to do so on Friday — just in time for Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s keynote speech to the convention. Carignan said it’s “a tradition” for the chamber not to sit during a political convention to allow a party’s senators to attend. That said, he acknowledged it may
be difficult for many Conservative senators, who had cancelled plans to go to the convention because they had expected the Senate to be debating the suspension motions, to make last-minute arrangements to get to Calgary. “Frankly no, I don’t have any idea (how many will go) because with the switch in our plan, I know that some senators, many senators cancelled their flights and their hotels,” said Carignan, who was himself planning to go. The early adjournment Thursday upended the plans of at least one of three disgraced senators to rejoin the debate. Brazeau had intended to speak about the government’s bid to suspend him, which he dubbed “a complete gong show.” But the government was likely more concerned about avoiding the spectre of Duffy lobbing more bombshells, the repercussions of which could overshadow Harper’s crucial speech Friday evening at the convention. In two riveting interventions earlier this week and last week, Duffy alleged that the PMO orchestrated a secret to deal to reimburse the Senate for his invalid living expense claims and coached him to lie about it. Duffy also revealed that the Conservative party paid his legal fees of $13,500 — in addition to the previously known $90,000 given to him by Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to pay back the Senate. Carignan had initially moved three separate motions to suspend Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau without pay, benefits, privileges or Senate resources for the duration of the parliamentary session, which could last for two years. But after an attempt to impose a limit on debate time was ruled out of order on Wednesday, the government switched gears and introduced a new, single motion. It would suspend the trio without pay, privileges or Senate resources but would allow them to continue being covered by Senate drug, dental and life insurance plans.

A6 Iraqi leader pleads for U.S. aid
FRIDAY, NOV. 1, 2013
FIGHTING TERROR IS A WORLDWIDE RESPONSIBILITY: AL-MALIKI BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Terrorists “found a second chance” to thrive in Iraq, the nation’s prime minister said Thursday in asking for new U.S. aid to beat back a bloody insurgency that has been fueled by the neighbouring Syrian civil war and the departure of American troops from Iraq two years ago. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told a packed auditorium at the U.S. Institute of Peace that he needs additional weapons, help with intelligence and other assistance, and claimed the world has a responsibility to help because terrorism is an international concern. “If the situation in Iraq is not well treated, it will be disastrous for the whole world,” said al-Maliki, whose comments were translated from Arabic. “Terrorism does not know a single religion, or confession, or a single border. They carry their rotten ideas everywhere. They carry bad ideas instead of flowers. Al-Qaida is a dirty wind that wants to spread worldwide.”
The new request comes nearly two years after al-Maliki’s government refused to let U.S. forces remain in Iraq with legal immunity that the Obama administration insisted was necessary to protect troops. President Barack Obama had campaigned on ending the nearly nine-year war in Iraq and took the opportunity offered by the legal dispute to pull all troops out. Nearly 4,500 U.S. troops were killed in Iraq between the 2003 invasion and the 2011 withdrawal. More than 100,000 Iraqi were killed in that time. Al-Maliki will meet Friday with Obama in what Baghdad hopes will be a fresh start in a complicated relationship that has been marked both by victories and frustrations for each side. Within months of the U.S. troops’ departure, violence began creeping up in the capital and across the country as Sunni Muslim insurgents lashed out, angered by a widespread belief that Sunnis have been sidelined by the Shiite-led government. The State Department says at least 6,000 Iraqis have been killed in attacks so far this year, and suicide bombers launched 38 strikes in the last month alone. “So the terrorists found a second chance,” al-Ma-
liki said — a turnabout from an insurgency that was mostly silenced by the time the U.S. troops left. Al-Maliki largely blamed the Syrian civil war for the rise in Iraq’s violence, although he acknowledged that homegrown insurgents are to blame for the vast number of car bombs, suicide bombings and drive-by shootings that have roiled Baghdad and the rest of the nation. The prime minister warned about the consequences of a political power grab by al-Qaida fighters who are aligned with the Sunni rebellion that is seeking to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. But al-Maliki insisted Iraq is remaining neutral in the Syrian unrest, although Baghdad has been accused of allowing Iranian aid to Assad’s forces through its country. The Syrian civil war breaks down along sectarian lines. Sectarian tensions also have been rising in Iraq, but al-Maliki vehemently denied they are the cause for the spread of violence and noted that Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds all have been killed by attacks. “There is no problem between Sunnis and Shiites,” al-Maliki said flatly. He added: “Al-Qaida believes they should kill all those who do not think alike.”

Asian nations demand spying answers

SYDNEY, Australia — China and Southeast Asian governments demanded an explanation from the U.S. and its allies Thursday following media reports that American and Australian embassies in the region were being used as hubs for Washington’s secret electronic data collection program. The reports come amid an international outcry over allegations the U.S. has spied on the telephone communications of as many as 35 foreign leaders. A document from National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, published this week by German magazine Der Spiegel, describes a signals intelligence program called “Stateroom” in which U.S., British, Australian and Canadian embassies secretly house surveillance equipment to collect electronic communications. Those countries, along with New Zealand, have an intelligence-sharing agreement known as “Five Eyes.” “China is severely concerned about the reports, and demands a clarification and explanation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said. Australia’s Fairfax media reported Thursday that the Australian embassies involved are in Jakarta, Bangkok, Hanoi, Beijing and Dili in East Timor; and high commissions in Kuala Lumpur and Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The Fairfax report, based on the Der Spiegel document and an interview with an anonymous former intelligence officer, said those embassies are being used to intercept phone calls and Internet data across Asia. In a statement, Indonesia’s Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said his government “cannot accept and strongly protests the news of the existence of wiretapping facilities at the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta.” “It should be emphasized that if confirmed, such action is not only a breach of security, but also a serious breach of diplomatic norms and ethics, and certainly not in tune with the spirit of friendly relations between nations,” he said. The Snowden document said the surveillance equipment is concealed, including antennas that are “sometimes hidden in false architectural features or roof maintenance sheds.”

BRIEFS
Kenyan warplanes bomb camp where mall attackers trained NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya’s military says its air force has attacked a militant training camp in Somalia in retaliation for last month’s al-Shabab assault on Nairobi’s Westgate Mall. Col. Cyrus Oguna said Thursday the militants who carried out the Westgate attack received training at the camp, which he said was 50 kilometres east of Binswor, Somalia. Oguna said the military won’t know how many of the 300 militants in the camp were killed or wounded until an assessment today. He said four military trucks were destroyed. Oguna said “many more” such attacks will be carried out. The four-day siege of Westgate Mall began Sept. 21. The al-Qaidaaffiliated al-Shabab said it carried out the attack, which killed at least 67 people, in retaliation for the Kenyan military’s push into Somalia in 2011.
Syrian activist group says more than 120,000 people killed in civil war BEIRUT — A Syrian activist group says more than 120,000 people have been killed since the start of the country’s civil war nearly three years ago. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has been tracking the death toll through a network of activists in Syria, said today that 120,296 people have died. Of those, it said 61,067 are civilians, including 6,365 children. On the government side, it said 29,954 are members of President Bashar Assad’s armed forces, 18,678 are progovernment fighters and 187 are Lebanese Hezbollah militants. Also among the dead it said were 2,202 army defectors and some 5,375 opposition fighters, many of them foreigners. On July 25, the U.N. estimated 100,000 have died in the conflict since March 2011. It has not updated that figure since.
Earthquake measuring magnitude 6.3 hits Taiwan TAIPEI, Taiwan — A strong earthquake hit eastern Taiwan on Thursday, shaking buildings over a wide area including the capital. There were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties. The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake struck at 8:02 p.m. and measured magnitude 6.3. It was centred in a remote mountainous area 45 kilometres south-southwest of the coastal city of Hualian at a depth of just 12 kilometres, it said. In the capital, Taipei, about 150 kilometres from the epicenter, buildings swayed for more than 10 seconds and startled residents ducked for cover. Taiwan’s railway administration immediately suspended train service while it checked for any possible damage to tracks. Authorities reported scattered power outages in northern Taiwan. In at least two locations in the Taipei suburbs crews were working to extricate people trapped in stalled elevators. Local TV channels reported that there appeared to be almost no damage in Hualian. However, it could take some time for the full impact of the quake to be evaluated because of the remoteness of the epicenter.
Georgia man jailed for life for killings BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Spared from a possible death sentence by a deal between lawyers, a Georgia man convicted of beating his father and seven others to death inside the mobile home they shared was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without possibility of parole. Guy Heinze Jr. was sentenced less than a week after a jury found him guilty of malice murder for the Aug. 29, 2009, slayings. Prosecutors dropped the death penalty as an option for 26-year-old Heinze last week as part of a deal with defence attorneys that allowed them to avoid a hung jury. Relatives of the victims told reporters as they left the courthouse in Glynn County on Thursday that they had been opposed all along to Heinze receiving the death penalty. “That’s the easy way out,” said Diane Isenhower, whose ex-husband and four children were among those slain. She said she’s satisfied knowing Heinze should spend the
rest of his life in prison. “It’s a relief. Now I just pick up the pieces and go on.” Under Georgia law, Heinze faced an automatic life sentence once the death penalty was off the table. The only thing Superior Court Judge Stephen Scarlett had to decide was whether the defendant would ever be eligible for parole. Heinze’s attorneys, who have insisted he is innocent, presented no witnesses and said little to try to persuade Scarlett before he imposed his sentence. Newell Hamilton Jr., Heinze’s lead defence attorney, declined to comment after the hearing. “There are people who believe in Guy and believe he’s innocent,” said Heather Teston, who said she has been a friend of Heinze’s since high school. “Maybe they should have moved the trial somewhere else. After four years, everybody here has been set in their opinions on the case. I think ultimately he was railroaded by the justice system.” In a frantic 911 call made the morning the bodies were discovered, Heinze cried out: “My whole family is dead!”
Heinze’s trial almost ended with a hung jury last week on the third day of deliberations. But prosecutors last Friday dropped the death penalty in a deal with Heinze’s lawyers to allow the trial judge to dismiss one juror and replace him with an alternate. A guilty verdict was returned four hours later. Afterward, prosecutors said only that there had been “a situation” with the dismissed juror that contributed to the deadlock. Jurors were unaware that prosecutors had ruled out a possible death sentence until after they returned with a guilty verdict. Prosecutors said Heinze had been smoking crack cocaine when he killed his father and the other victims, all members of an extended family. They said he killed the first victim in a dispute over a bottle of prescription painkillers he wanted to steal, then killed the others to avoid getting caught. Each of the victims died from multiple crushing blows to the head from what police believe was a shotgun barrel, jurors heard. Autopsies showed they suffered a combined total of more than 220 wounds.

Queens can’t solve NAIT BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Ooks 1 Queens 0 The RDC Queens did everything needed to pull out a victory over the NAIT Ooks, except one — score. The Queens couldn’t solve Ooks fourth-year netminder Jill Diachuk in dropping a 1-0 decision to the defending Alberta Colleges Women’s Hockey League champions at the Arena Thursday. “I don’t know what to say to be honest with you until I watch the video tomorrow,” said Queens head coach Bob Rutz. “We did a lot of good things and weren’t rewarded. They are a good team I’ll give them that, but it was a weird game to analyze. The effort was there and we had more people battling than we did at Grant MacEwan last Saturday (a 3-1 loss), but we have to learn to finish around the net. Once we start putting some goals on the board we’ll be fine.” The Queens were outshot 28-19, but may well have had the better chances, especially in the third period. Diachuk made a great glove save off Jade Petrie, who cut between the defence, then stopped a pair of RDC players while sprawling on the ice in the final minute. Jena Holden also had a breakaway in the first period and Emily Lougheed had a glorious opportunity in the final minute of the second frame, when she out fought a defender from the blueline on in and looked to have Diachuk beat, but was hauled down by the NAIT netminder as she cut across the crease. “If Emily scores there it changes the third period,” said veteran Laura Salomons. “I thought we had more solid chances than they did,” added Rutz. “Emily and Jade had a lot of chances, but overall we didn’t finish like I know we will. Those two competed, in fact a lot of others

Red Deer College Queen Jade Petrie is checked by NAIT Ooks players Lindsey Brouwer and Megan Goebel during first-period action at the Arena in Red Deer Thursday. competed, we just have to start burying our chances.” Salomons agreed. “We had a lot of good opportunities, but we’re still trying to find the back of the net with consistency. It will take time, but we have the veteran players, like myself and Rachael (Hoppins), who have to generate some offence. In fact we’re not a rookie team any more.” The Ooks ran their record to 3-0 while the Queens slipped to 1-2. “Just because we lost back-
to-back games we’re not about to start panicking, it’s early in the season and we’ll be back tomorrow, have a good practice and be ready for Saturday. This isn’t where we’ll be come February.” One thing for certain is that the Queens defence will continue to improve as the younger players gain experience. “We have a good group of defencemen and they’re improving all the time,” said Salomons. “I trust them. They’re learning all the time and they’ll continue to gain

Lions looking for more bang from their Buck PIERCE TO START FOR LIONS IN FINAL REGULAR SEASON GAME AGAINST STAMPEDERS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions are looking for more bang from their Buck on Friday as they host the Calgary Stampeders in the final game of the CFL regular season for both teams. Fresh off a strong relief appearance in a win over Edmonton last week, Buck Pierce will start at quarterback for the Lions as they prepare for the playoffs. It will be Pierce’s first start since July 19 while he was with a Winnipeg club that discarded him in a September trade to the Lions. “Each opportunity that you get, you’re excited about, especially after the year that I had this year,” said Pierce after a walk-through Thursday at B.C. Place Stadium. “ It’s not easy. You leave a situation that was tough mentally, and then you’re put into a situation that gives you another opportunity to play and prove your worth and just have fun.” The Lions (10-7) will use the game as preparation for a playoff road game, knowing that they are already set to finish third, and a possible re-match with the first-place Stampeders (14-3) in the Western Final. “I think we took a big step last week and did some good things,” said Pierce. “We’re looking to build off that.” The Lions must hope that Pierce’s banged-up body holds up as he continues his second stint with B.C. in an injury-plagued career. He is getting the start because No. 1 signal-caller Travis Lulay is recuperating from a shoulder injury and replacement Thomas DeMarco has been ineffective recently. Some people might think it’s redemption time for Pierce, who threw for three touchdowns, ran for one and made a key block as Stefan Logan rushed for another against Edmonton.

But Pierce, who has completed 17 of 27 passes for three touchdowns in four games with B.C. after being relegated to third-string status with Winnipeg, takes a different view. “I’m not looking for any kind of redemption at all,” said Pierce, a nineyear CFL veteran. “I’ve never played that way. A lot of people have tried to spin it that way, like it’s me against the critics and all that kind of stuff. But that’s never been what it’s been about for me. For me, it’s about making the most of my opportunities and just go out there and play football and do what I love to do.” Despite Pierce’s comments, he and the Lions, losers of three of their past four games and inconsistent for much of the season, have more than their fair share of critics. And, B.C.’s quarterbacking situation for the post-season is far from certain. “If I was honest with you right now, we’re just going to see where it goes,” said Lions coach Mike Benevides. But Pierce has the starter’s job until Benevides decides otherwise. “I need to continue to play Buck,” said Benevides, adding he will play as long as necessary against Calgary. Lulay, who has missed six games after getting hurt while scoring a touchdown against Montreal on Sept. 15, is listed as the backup and will see some action if things are going as well as Benevides likes. “I’m going to be suited up, I’m going to be ready to play and when that happens, I’m not definitively sure,” said Lulay. He said it’s important to get game action in preparation for the playoffs, because it would be difficult to have to play in the post-season without any since his injury.

Making the adjustment NHL PROSPECTS WHO DIDN’T STICK WITH TEAMS ADJUST TO LIFE BACK IN JUNIOR BY MONTE STEWART THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The boys are back on the bus after getting their initial taste of life in the NHL. A few players of this year’s top draft class — considered one of the best talent crops in recent years — have managed to stay in the NHL, such as Calgary’s Sean Monahan, Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon and Nashville’s Seth Jones. For the rest, they will just get a taste of big league hockey for now after being returned to their Canadian major junior teams following training camp. For these players, long bus rides between games have become the norm again. “It’s definitely a little different after being on the plane with the Canucks and going back to those long bus trips now,” said Bo Horvat, picked ninth overall by Vancouver. “But it’s something you’ve got to do.” Horvat joins Hunter Shinkaruk, a Calgary native who was chosen 24th overall by the Canucks, and other players who have had to return to junior instead of going to the minors because they were drafted as 18-yearolds. They hope to heed lessons learned from their brief time in the NHL as they continue their development. “Obviously, coming back to junior was a little bit different than it was at the pro level,” said Shinkaruk, who was among the Canucks’ final cuts. “But I’m lucky. We have a good team this year, and I still have my friends back here, so it’s been good. “At the NHL level, it’s a little bit different. The crowds are a little
bit bigger. The players are a little bit bigger and stronger. It’s a little bit different coming back again to junior, but I feel like I have to continue to work on my skills and make sure I’m ready to make the jump next year.” Shinkaruk, who hopes to return to the Medicine Hat Tigers’ lineup Friday when they host the Tri-City Americans after being sidelined the past three games with a sore hip, admitted he had to adjust mentally to life in the junior ranks again. “Obviously, it was a little bit tough,” he said. “I felt like I had a good training camp. I felt comfortable with everything that I did, and I felt comfortable going back, knowing that everything I could have done to make the team, I feel like I did. That’s probably all I can control. Obviously, being a younger kid and all things that come along with it, that makes it tough to play in the NHL at 18 and 19.” Vancouver coach John Tortorella decided to send Shinkaruk, who impressed with his speed, creativity and scoring ability, Horvat back to junior even though the Canucks were facing injuries and inconsistency in their forward ranks. He was concerned that the faster pace and more physical style of the NHL could hamper their growth as players. He also wanted them to get more playing time than they would on Vancouver’s third or fourth lines. “I think that, down here, it was tough (being cut), but it was good for me to go back and work on my game and make sure that I can be an important player (with the Canucks) next year, and that’s going to be my goal every single day,”

San Jose Sharks’ Matt Pelech, left, checks Vancouver Canucks’ Hunter Shinkaruk during a pre-season NHL game in Vancouver, September 16. Shinkaruk is part of a group of prospects that are getting used to life back in junior after getting a taste of the NHL. Shinkaruk said. Playing with Canuck superstars Daniel and Henrik Sedin at times, he also learned how hard he has to push himself to become an NHL regular. “I was playing with the best players in the world and, when you do that, you really have to push yourself to be faster and be stronger and shoot the puck harder,” said Shinkaruk. Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds defenceman Darnell Nurse, the top pick of the Edmonton Oilers (seventh overall) is taking a similar view as he toils again in the OHL. “I’m just going to improve my whole game and see where that takes me,” said Nurse, a Hamilton native who has
three goals and 12 assists in 13 games. Even before joining the Oilers for a prospects tournament in Penticton, B.C., Nurse steeled himself to the fact that teenage defencemen rarely make the NHL on their first attempts. He does not want to address the question of how close he is to being NHL-ready. “I’m just going to go out there and work on the small parts of my game, because they’re what are going to allow me to get to the next level,” he said. “I know my chance will come.” While his NHL opportunity is on hold, Nurse is pursuing a different opportunity — a chance for an OHL title and Memorial Cup berth. The
Greyhounds are off to a blazing start, leading the OHL’s West Division with an 11-1-2 mark heading into Friday’s road game against the Sarnia Sting. By being returned to their WHL, OHL and QMJHL clubs, many of the young stars will get a nice consolation prize — a chance to compete for Canada at the world junior championships in Sweden. “That’s going to be one of my goals this year,” Shinkaruk said. “Obviously, being cut last year was tough, but it’s a tournament that I’ve watched since I was a kid, and the chance to be on that team and bring back a gold medal to Canada would be unbelievable.”
Dumba decision not expected right away The Red Deer Rebels could use a puckmoving defenceman right about now — yesterday, actually — and Mathew Dumba would fit the bill nicely. But the Minnesota Wild will decide where Dumba will play this season and that decision may come later than sooner. The 19-year-old rearguard has appeared in nine regular-season NHL contests with the Wild this fall and one more appearance will start the clock ticking on his threeyear entry-level contract. Dumba has registered two GREG points (1-1) with MinnesoMEACHEM ta but struggled mightily in his last outing — Monday’s 5-1 loss to the visiting Chicago Blackhawks. Nevertheless, head coach Mike Yeo, for one, isn’t in a hurry to reassign Dumba to the Rebels and in fact may never feel that way. “No decision right now,” Yeo told the Minneapolis StarTribune. “If he played his best game (Monday), we were not going to overreact one way and if he played his worst game, we were not going to overreact one way. We were just going to judge this as a whole and we’ll keep going day-by-day and see what happens.” While Wild GM Chuck Fletcher might not even be focused on the 10-game rule, clearly the club needs more time to decide on Dumba’s fate for this season. Asked if Dumba will be a healthy scratch when the Wild host Montreal tonight, Yeo responded: “Yeah.” ● Still with the Rebels, who open a six-

Call it an apparent low-risk experiment that went sour. When the Moose Jaw Warriors acquired Todd Fiddler from the Spokane Chiefs in May, they had visions of him repeating his 42-goal season as a 20-year-old veteran. But Fiddler, who cost the Warriors a thirdround pick in next year’s bantam draft, managed a mere two goals and 10 points — with both goals and five points coming in one game — in 14 games when his time in Moose Jaw came to an abrupt end earlier this week. Warriors GM Allan Millar told the Moose Jaw Times Herald that he met with Fiddler to discuss his status with the team and the player ultimately left. “Basically things hadn’t been going very
well with Fiddler in terms of his play and his production. He was a healthy scratch in two of our last three games. I guess the writing was on the wall that something was going to give,” said Millar, who added that Fiddler admitted his preference was to play at the junior A level for the rest of the season. Millar admitted that he doesn’t expect he’ll be able to trade Fiddler to another WHL team. “I think those avenues are exhausted,” he said. “I’m unsure if there’s an opportunity for him in the league and furthermore I’m unsure that Todd wants that opportunity.” ★

Red Deer native and former Calgary Hitmen star defenceman Paul Postma will be lost to the Winnipeg Jets for an indefinite period after a blood clot was discovered in his leg. Postma most recently played in a 2-1 shootout win over the Dallas Stars last Saturday and told reporters he had an “awkward pain” in his calf a few days earlier. “It didn’t feel right. There was part of me that didn’t know why it was hurting so much. I talked to our trainers about it and went and got it checked out, and it turned out to be a blood clot,” said Postma, who was told that he might be out for several months. “I don’t really know much about blood clots. You don’t really hear about them too often,” he added. “When (the doctor) told me the timeline that they were thinking of, it really startled me and I was in shock. I can’t really believe it happened.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Sack gets Dolphins win in OT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Paul Soliai (96) and defensive end Cameron Wake (91) tackle Cincinnati Bengals running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis (42) during an NFL game, Thursday, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Dolphins 22 Bengals 20 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — With the Miami Dolphins needing any kind of score to end a four-game losing streak, two points were plenty. Cameron Wake sacked Andy Dalton for a safety with 6:38 left in overtime, and Miami beat the Cincinnati Bengals 22-20 on Thursday night. On third-and-10 from the 8, Dalton retreated to the goal line and was tackled by Wake coming up the middle for the third overtime safety in NFL history. The officials immediately signalled the score, which was upheld following a replay review. “We called a pressure, and the guys executed it well,” coach Joe Philbin said. “Cam had good pressure throughout the game and he made a play to end the game” Wake had three sacks, and Cincinnati committed four turnovers that might have meant a difference of 17 points. The Dolphins (4-4) won for the first time since their 3-0 start and snapped a four-game winning streak by the Bengals (6-3), who still enjoy a twogame lead in the AFC North. “You never want to lose four games in a row,” Philbin said, “and we had an excellent football team coming in town. It was time for us to step up and we had to make a decision — what are we going to be? And I thought they answered
the bell pretty well tonight.” The teams traded punts to start overtime. After Cincinnati’s Terence Newman was called for a 38-yard pass interference penalty, the Bengals dug in and forced another punt that pinned them deep, setting up the safety by Wake. “My eyes were downfield, and he was there pretty quick,” Dalton said, adding he thought he was out of the end zone. According to STATS, Minnesota’s Mike Merriweather had the first NFL overtime safety in 1989 against the Los Angeles Rams, and Chicago’s Adewale Ogunleye had the second against Tennessee in 2004. The Bengals could have tried a 56-yard field goal in overtime but punted to the Dolphins instead. “We had a chance, maybe,” Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said, “but we felt better about pinning them down.” Lewis made another questionable decision at the end of the first half. When the Bengals started from their own 15 with no timeouts and 45 seconds left, he decided against running out the clock. His aggressive approach backfired when Dalton’s pass was intercepted by Dimitri Patterson, setting up a 36-yard field goal by Caleb Sturgis to put Miami up 10-3 at halftime. Mike Nugent kicked a 54-yard field goal with 1:24 remaining in regulation to put the Bengals ahead, but Miami answered with a 50-yard drive,
and Sturgis made a 44-yard field goal with 11 seconds left to force overtime. Brent Grimes returned an interception 94 yards for a touchdown to put the Dolphins up 17-3 midway through the third quarter, but they squandered a two-touchdown second-half lead for the second time in five days. On Sunday in a loss at New England, they were outscored 24-0 in the final 24 minutes. Cincinnati’s Giovani Bernard scored on an electrifying tying 35-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that covered perhaps twice that much ground. He started right, doubled back left, weaved up the sideline, cut back across the middle and somersaulted in the end zone, leaving Dolphins sprawled in his wake all along the way. The run took 16 seconds. At least four defenders had a shot at him, including Grimes, who missed twice — once in the backfield as the play unfolded. Cincinnati’s Marvin Jones was kept out of the end zone four days after he caught four touchdown passes. Dalton’s 50-yard touchdown pass to Jones was negated by a holding call against Jermaine Gresham as the Bengals sputtered four days after scoring 49 points to beat the Jets. The Bengals drove 64 yards for a field goal in the second quarter to take a 3-0 lead, and mounted an 80-yard drive for a touchdown in the third quarter.
Maybin excited to make CFL debut for Argos BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts might be finishing their CFL regular season, but Aaron Maybin is just starting his. The former NFL first-round pick will make his CFL debut at defensive end Friday night when the Argos host the Montreal Alouettes. Maybin, 25, signed with Toronto on Sunday and will don pads in his first regular-season contest since being released in November 2012 by the New York Jets. “It’s pretty exciting, it’s been a long time since I’ve had the chance to suit up,” Maybin said Thursday after Toronto took its team picture at Rogers Centre. “I stopped being nervous playing this game years ago but it’s an opportunity to get out on the field and play the game you’ve been playing your whole life. “If you can’t get excited about that, you’re in the wrong place.” The Buffalo Bills selected Maybin 11th overall in the ’09 NFL draft out of Penn State but released him after two disappointing seasons. Maybin joined the Jets early in 2011 and had a team-high six sacks but was let go nine games into the ’12 campaign. Maybin signed with Cincinnati but was released in August. Over four NFL seasons, the six-foot-four, 237-pound
Maybin had six sacks and 36 tackles. In addition to settling in with a new team, Maybin is also adjusting to the many different nuances of Canadian football such as lining up a yard off the ball, playing three downs instead of four, a 20-second play clock and covering ground on a longer, wider field. “I’m comfortable, (Canadian football) suits my style of play,” Maybin said.
league.” Maybin will have plenty of chances to impress. Toronto (11-6) has clinched top spot in the East Division and will rest many regulars, including quarterback Ricky Ray, to ensure they’re healthy for the conference final Nov. 17 at Rogers Centre. Toronto rested Ray and other starters in last year’s regular-season finale against Hamilton.
‘I PLAY MY GAME OFF SPEED AND EXPLOSIVENESS AND THOSE ARE THE ATTRIBUTES THAT ARE EMPHASIZED IN THIS LEAGUE.’ — AARON MAYBIN FORMER FIRST-ROUND NFL PICK ON MAKING DEBUT FOR TORONTO ARGONAUTS
“I feel it’s a change of pace but I’ve always been good at adjusting on the fly. “I’ve seen (CFL) games played before so it’s just a matter of zeroing in on exactly what the small details are all about. “There’s nothing really that surprises you. It’s a bigger field, a little bit faster pace but the game is still the game.” Toronto will try utilizing Maybin’s quickness and athleticism rushing the quarterback off the edge. The Argos have just 38 sacks this season, secondlowest in the CFL. “I’m a high-energy, high-motor guy,” Maybin said. “I play my game off speed and explosiveness and those are the attributes that are emphasized in this
STORIES FROM PAGE B1
RIDERS: Pretty good effort “I thought we had a pretty good effort in Calgary,” Foley said. “They’re the best team in the league record-wise but I think we had the opportunity to beat them and should’ve beat them and you can take a little bit of positive from that. “Obviously guys are disappointed about not being able to win first place but we have to get this one this week and when B.C. comes in here be on a roll.” The Riders-Stampeders’ rivalry this season has been intense, on and off the field. Saskatchewan’s Kory Sheets helped pour gasoline on the fire recently by publicly stating he was a better running back than Calgary’s Jon Cornish, the CFL rushing leader. Sheets topped the rushing race midway through the season before suffering a knee injury that forced him to miss three games. Cornish, who was second overall behind Sheets at the time, stormed into the lead and hasn’t looked back since. But Foley said in an eight-team league where clubs play one another often, animosity is bound to build up. “When you play a team that much and it’s the two top dogs in the division it’s going to be intense,” he said. “It’s like a playoff series in hockey when you see a team that much and that frequently in such a short period of time there’s going to be a lot of builtup anger towards those guys. “But that makes it fun. It’s good for the league, it’s good for the fans and it’s fun for us players.” Once the playoffs begin, Foley said discipline will be key for the Riders. “I think that’s going to be the biggest thing,” he said. “There also has to be good leadership going into the playoffs. “Without question, we’ve got the talent to do what we want to do but the leadership has to be there, the discipline has to be there and we can’t beat ourselves. We do that I think we’ll be fine.”
LIONS: Being smart about how things happen But, like Pierce, he does not plan to reduce his injury risk by shying away from contact.
The Argos’ backups recorded an exciting 43-40 win that eliminated the Tiger-Cats from playoff contention. “If you line up Nov. 17 with Ricky Ray, Andre Durie, Chad Owens and Marcus Ball, you’re giving your team the chance to win,” said Argos head coach Scott Milanovich said. “On the other hand, it gave us the opportunity to see what other guys could do, this is where (backup) Zach Collaros kind of had his coming-out party (last year). “I understand both sides of the argument but Jim (Argos GM Jim Barker) and I think this is the best way to do it.” The game means nothing in the standings for Montreal (7-10), which will finish third and face Hamilton (98) in the East semifinal next weekend.
“I think you’re always being smart about how those things happen,” said Lulay. “But when you’re out on the field and you’re doing whatever you’re doing whatever it takes for your team, it’s part of playing the game.” Meanwhile, the Stampeders are scheduled to use all three of their quarterbacks after general manager and coach John Hufnagel pledged to do so earlier in the week. Kevin Glenn is slated to start while Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell are slated for relief duty. Glenn expects all three signal-callers to receive an equal number of plays. The Stampeders will also have a new look on their offensive line as veterans J’Michael Deane and Stanley Bryant are sidelined with injuries that are not expected to keep them out of the playoffs. Hufnagel is also expected to give other players, notably running back Jon Cornish, less playing time than usual. But Glenn said the game still holds considerable importance, even with Calgary holding a bye in the first round. “We still want to go into the playoffs with a winning streak,” said Glenn. “Nobody wants to go into the playoffs with a losing streak.” The game is also important for him personally after he completed only 11 of 17 passes for 120 yards before being pulled in last Saturday’s 29-25 win over Saskatchewan. But he is determined not to dwell on the sub-par effort, which he noted was rare. “The thing is, to have a short memory for your body,” he said. “You move on.” The Stampeders have a 2-1 record against B.C. this season. Glenn and Cornish said it’s important for the Stamps to post another win in order to have momentum going into the playoffs. Cornish leads the CFL in yards from scrimmage (2,143) and rushing (1,799). But noting that he has not achieved any of his personal goals this season, he is not looking to pad his statistics. “If (the coaches) want to pull me early, I’m cool with that,” he said. “If they don’t, that’s cool, too.” The game will be the last for the Lions at home this season. They hope to put in a strong showing for their fans and use the contest as a chance to set the stage for a strong first-round playoff game in Saskatchewan and a possible rematch with the Stampeders in the Western Final after losing to them last year on the same B.C. Place field. “We want to try and send a message,” said Lions linebacker Adam Bighill. “If we see them again in the West Final, we want them to remember that we smacked them around here first.”
But Alouettes interim coach Jim Popp won’t be resting his starters. “First of all, I could care less what they’re doing,” he said. “The guys that are playing want to play and they’re going to play hard. “They’re pro athletes and they’re getting paid and want to do well. Who knows? Some of them may be better than guys who are starting, it’s their chance to shine.” It’s a decision that could result in Alouettes starters being hurt close to a playoff game. But considering many Montreal players have been injured this year in practice, it’s a risk Popp is willing to take. “We don’t go into games thinking that way and I’m not going to,” he said. Milanovich is looking forward to seeing Maybin perform under actual game conditions. “He’s a great athlete,” Milanovich said. “He does (have adjustments to make), no question. “What I want to see is him use his speed and athletic ability to chase a guy down. I want to see him play fast and use that athletic ability to see what he can do.” Argos linebacker Robert McCune won’t play Friday night but the fouryear CFL veteran said fans should temper their expectations of Maybin, who was a first-team Big 10 and consensus All-American in ’08. “There’s just so much on him right now,” McCune said. “I expect good things from him but at the same time he’s going to have to get used the CFL and all the different things they do in this game.”

Stepping out from the shadow WORLD SERIES VICTORY LIFTS BOSTON FOLLOWING SEASON SHADOWED BY MARATHON BOMBINGS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — For fans, players and political leaders who celebrated the Red Sox’s World Series title with cries of “Boston Strong,” the championship provided a jubilant finish to a season that was shadowed nearly from the start by the April bombings at the Boston Marathon. The morning after he cheered the victory inside Fenway Park, Ed Carlson returned Thursday to the marathon finish line he had crossed months earlier, 20 minutes before the bombs went off, and then had scrambled to find his children in the ensuing chaos. “It was quite a year,” said Carlson, 51, of Princeton, Mass. “To be at the marathon and then to be there for the World Series — I still tear up thinking about it.” The success of the Red Sox, who finished last in their division only a year ago, became a welcome surprise and eventually a symbol of resilience for a city recovering from the twin bombings that killed three people and wounded more than 260. Jarrod Clowery, a carpenter from Stoneham, Mass., who suffered severe burn and shrapnel injuries in the April 15 bombings, said he was inspired by the Red Sox, who began bonding in spring training over their beards. “No one gave them a chance after that season last year ... but they started growing those beards, they became a unit, and they turned around and won a World Series,” said Clowery, who has three friends who lost limbs in the blast. “I’m proud of those guys and happy for those guys.” On Wednesday night, after the Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6, thousands of fans clogged the streets around the finish line. It was a quieter scene Thursday morning as traffic sped over the blue and yellow line painted permanently on Boylston Street and people periodically stopped on the sidewalk to offer a solemn tribute. Carlson, who was taking in the scene with his 17-year-old daughter, wore a new Red Sox World Series Champions baseball hat along with the same blue and yellow marathon jacket he wore to every Sox game he attended over the season. At Wednesday night’s game, he had his marathon medal in his pocket. “It put some finality to the whole thing,” he said. His daughter, Maggie, still remembers the fear she felt the day of the bombing. “It was just scary. Very scary. My dad was running,” she said. “We were torn apart by this. And we were able to come back and win the World Series. It just shows how resilient we are.” Buddy Shoemaker, 35, of Gilford, N.H., was two blocks away when the second bomb exploded. Police told him and his 13-year-old son to run. He returned

Boston Red Sox left fielder Jonny Gomes runs with a championship flag after defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 of baseball’s World Series Thursday, in Boston. The Red Sox won 6-1 to win the series. to the scene for the first time Thursday morning, wearing a new World Series cap and sweatshirt purchased at the game the night before. “It hit too close to home,” he said of the bombing, tears in his eyes. “The World Series definitely brought everything full circle.” The Red Sox embraced the idea of “Boston Strong” from the beginning, with players wearing a logo of it on their left sleeves and a giant “B Strong” logo mowed into Fenway’s outfield. The team honoured some of the victims on the field during its postseason run, and players said they wanted to honour those affected by the attacks. “First and foremost, to all the Marathon victims, this one’s for you!” tweeted Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester, who won two World Series game.
After the deciding game, 10 arrests were made in the city, mostly for disorderly conduct, prosecutors said. There were no reports of serious damage but at least one car was overturned. Celebrations turned destructive at several college campuses in New Hampshire and officials at the University of Massachusetts said 15 people — all but one of them students — were arrested after thousands gathered on the Amherst campus following the Red Sox win. A duck boat parade was set for Saturday morning in Boston to celebrate the championship. The route will take the players from Fenway Park and down Boylston Street before going on to the Charles River. “We needed this,” said Mark Porcaro of Boston. “They were an easy team to get behind because they stood up for us when we needed them most.”
Rose basket gives Bulls win to spoil Knicks’ home opener Two tied for women’s lead at Masters Curling CURLING
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NBA
Bulls 82 Knicks 81 CHICAGO — Forget about the neck stiffness that almost postponed Derrick Rose’s homecoming. Forget about all those missed shots, too. Rose made the only play that mattered Thursday night, and it was just like old times for the Chicago Bulls. Rose connected on a baseline floater with 5.7 seconds left to lift Chicago to an 82-81 victory over the New York Knicks in his first home game since he injured his left knee 18 months ago. “That’s what builds your resume,” Rose said. “Leaves a mark on your legacy.” The 2011 NBA MVP had 18 points on 7-of-23 shooting and committed four turnovers. But there was no doubt who was getting the ball after Tyson Chandler went 1 for 2 at the line to give New York an 81-80 lead with 10.8 seconds remaining. Rose, who was a game-time decision for Chicago’s home opener due to an achy neck, got the ball on the wing, drove to the baseline and lofted a well-placed floater over the 7-foot Chandler and Raymond Felton for the go-ahead basket, drawing a standing ovation from the delirious crowd of 22,022. “I was right there. He just made a big-time play,” Chandler said. “I don’t know if he saw the basket to be honest with you.” New York had one last chance but Carmelo Anthony missed a long jumper. Anthony then stood with his hands on his hips as the Bulls celebrated. “I got the look I wanted,” Anthony said.
Chicago had just two field goals in the final period — both by Rose — and committed six turnovers in the last 12 minutes. But it still managed to equal a franchise record with its sixth consecutive win in home openers. Luol Deng had 17 points and Carlos Boozer finished with 14 as the Bulls beat the Knicks for the sixth straight time. “It’s tough when you go into a game and you don’t know who you have,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “That’s all part of it. It’s the start of the season. As long as we are putting everything into each and every day and strive for improvement, it will work out.” New York coach Mike Woodson opted for a bigger look against Chicago, inserting 7-foot Andrea Bargnani into the starting lineup and using guard Pablo Prigioni as a reserve. But the Bulls still enjoyed a 46-24 advantage in points in the paint and a 48-42 rebounding edge, led by Joakim Noah’s 15 boards. “We competed tonight. It says a lot for our club,” Woodson said. “Now I just need to do a better job getting us through down the stretch.” Amar’e Stoudemire made his season debut for the Knicks and had five points in 11 minutes. The power forward, who turns 31 on Nov. 16, is coming off minor knee surgery over the summer and looked as if the years of health problems had robbed him of much of his athleticism. “Very pleased with how I felt tonight, as far as my body,” he said. “Just going to continue to
keep building and keep getting better.” New York trailed 76-66 with 7:53 remaining, but rookie Tim Hardaway Jr. made a 3-pointer to spark a 12-0 run for the Knicks. Felton connected from long range, Iman Shumpert had a dunk and Anthony closed out the spurt with a turnaround jumper that put New York in front with 4:10 remaining. The last part of the game mostly consisted of turnovers and missed shots, but Chicago managed to survive behind Rose. “He showed a lot of toughness,” Thibodeau said. “It was a struggle early on in the game. He found his way at the start of the third, that got him a little lift.” Jimmy Butler finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds for Chicago, which lost 107-95 at NBA champion Miami in its season opener on Tuesday night. Anthony led New York with 22 points on 8-of-24 shooting. Chandler had 19 rebounds, but the Knicks were unable to open the season with consecutive victories on consecutive nights. They were coming off a 90-83 victory against Milwaukee on Wednesday. Wearing strips of black tape on either side of his achy neck, Rose received a thunderous ovation from the sellout crowd when he was the last player introduced during the pregame festivities. He showed no outward emotion as he ran out of the tunnel with fans waving glowing red sticks in celebration of the return of the Chicago native. After Rose got on the court, chants of “M-V-P! M-V-P!” rang out from the seats at the United Center.
THE CANADIAN PRESS ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Mirjam Ott of Switzerland and Margaretha Sigfridsson are tied at 3-0 atop the women’s standings at the Masters Grand Slam of Curling. Sigfridsson moved into a first-place tie with Ott after a convincing 7-1 win over Japan’s Satsuki Fujisawa in Thursday’s seventh draw. The native of Harnosand scored two in the first, fourth and fifth ends, and one in the sixth, and only allowed a single point in the third. Meanwhile, Russia’s Anna Sidorova fell from the ranks of the unbeaten, falling 6-5 to South Korea’s Ji-Sun Kim. Sidorova made it close by scoring one in the seventh end and stealing another in the eighth, but it wasn’t enough. Kim and Sidorova are
both tied for third at 2-1. Saskatoon’s Stefanie Lawton (1-1) earned her first win of the tournament, beating reigning world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland 8-3. Muirhead fell to 1-2. Ottawa’s Rachel Homan improved her record with a 5-3 win over China’s Bingyu Wang (12). In the only men’s match of the draw, China’s Rui Liu beat Tyler George of the United States 7-4. Liu improved to 2-1 while George fell to 0-2. There’s a four-way tie atop the men’s standings with Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont., Calgary’s Kevin Koe, Winnipeg’s Jeff Stoughton and Sven Michel all at 2-0. Howard, Stoughton and Koe were all scheduled to curl in Thursday’s eighth draw, while Michel was to take part in the late ninth draw.
Two Central Albertans to take part in World Junior A Challenge Blue Jays name Seitzer as new hitting coach THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays filled a hole in their coaching staff Thursday by announcing that former all-star third baseman Kevin Seitzer will serve as the team’s hitting coach next season. He succeeds Chad Mottola, who spent one year in the position after Dwayne Murphy moved from hitting coach to first-base coach after the 2012 campaign. Seitzer, 51, served as hitting coach for the Kansas City Royals from 2009-12. The 2010 Royals team was second in Major League Baseball with a .274 average and the ’11 squad was fourth at .275. “For me the bottom line as far as philosophy and approach is really making consistent hard contact,” Seitzer said on a conference call. “And that’s why the thinking, the plan of hitting the ball in the middle of the field, staying gap to gap, gives you a better chance to put the barrel of the bat on the ball.” The Blue Jays are coming off a disappointing 7389 season.
Toronto had a team average of .252 this past year, 15th in the majors. Toronto was fourth in home runs with 185 and 11th in RBIs with 669, and the team had the sixth fewest strikeouts. Seitzer, a native of Springfield, Ill., also served as hitting coach with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first half of the 2007 season. As a player, he finished runner-up for Rookie of the Year to Mark McGwire in 1987. He was an all-star that year with the Royals and again in 1995 with the Milwaukee Brewers. Over 12 big-league seasons, Seitzer had a .295 average with 74 home runs and 613 RBIs for the Royals, Brewers, Oakland Athletics and Cleveland Indians. The team previously announced that Mottola and Murphy will not return for the 2014 campaign. Bench coach DeMarlo Hale, pitching coach Pete Walker, third-base coach Luis Rivera and bullpen coach Pat Hentgen will return in their current roles under manager John Gibbons. The Blue Jays have yet to find a replacement for Murphy.
Alberta Junior Hockey League players Dylan Hollman of Red Deer and Josh Smith of Lacombe, both 19, are among the 22 players named to the Canada West team for the 2013 World Junior A Challenge starting Monday at Yarmouth N.S. Hollman, a forward with the Spruce Grove Saints, has scored 13 goals and recorded 17 points in 17 games this season, while Camrose Kodiaks defenceman Smith has six goals and 11 points in 17 games. Trace Elson, the brother of former Red Deer Rebels captain Turner Elson, is also on the Canada West squad. The 19-year-old, who appeared in preseason games with the Rebels in 2012, leads all AJHL scorers with 13 goals and 30 points in 19 games. The roster was selected by Canada West head coach Jason McKee (Spruce Grove, AJHL), along with assistant coaches Trent Cassan (Yorkton, SJHL) and Ryan Smith (Selkirk, MJHL), and team manager Shawn Bullock (Hockey Canada) following a four-day selection camp at the Markin MacPhail Centre in Calgary.

McIlroy showing signs of a rebound TAKES OPENING ROUND LEAD AT HSBC CHAMPIONS IN SHANGHAI BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SHANGHAI, China — The graceful combination of power and balance. The bounce in his step after every birdie. His name at the top of the leaderboard. For at least one round, Rory McIlroy finally looked like the former No. 1 player in the world instead of a guy who hasn’t won a tournament all year. With eight birdies and hardly any stress, McIlroy opened the HSBC Champions on Thursday with a 7-under 65 for a two-shot lead over Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Jamie Donaldson. It was the first time since he won in Dubai last November that McIlroy has been in the outright lead after any round. “It felt good to be out there and in control of my golf ball,” McIlroy said. Maybe it was just a coincidence that McIlroy’s only win of any variety was earlier this week at Mission Hills when he rallied to beat Tiger Woods in an 18-hole exhibition. That didn’t hurt his confidence, though the 24-year-old from Northern Ireland pointed to other factors that have been leading him in this direction. He took a four-week break, spending most of that time in Northern Ireland with swing coach Michael Bannon and “getting back to what we used to do.” He has a new driver and a golf ball that is softer, giving him more spin around the greens. And perhaps most importantly, he hasn’t lost his mind or his patience during the most difficult season of his young career.
Senior shoots 63 for top spot at Charles Schwab Cup Championship BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Peter Senior is a big winner in Australia. He’d like at least one win in the United States. He got off to a good start Thursday in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, shooting an 8-under 63 to take a one-stroke lead in the Champions Tour’s season-ending event. The 54-year-old Senior had nine birdies, an eagle and three bogeys at TPC Harding Park to match the event first-round record set by Jim Thorpe in his 2003 victory at Sonoma Golf Club. “That was probably the best round of golf I’ve played this year,” Senior said. “I putted well and hit it well.” Senior won the Australian Open last year for his 19th PGA Tour of Australasia victory. He’s seeking his first Champions Tour title after finishing second five times — including three playoff losses — in 93 career starts. “That’s the only disappointing thing,” Senior said. “It’s such a great tour and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. It’s a little disappointing I haven’t won in four years. You’ve got to be fortunate at the right times and I haven’t done enough down the stretch, going par, par, par when I needed a birdie to make the difference. Hopefully, it might happen.” David Frost shot 64, missing a short putt on the 18th hole. Fred Couples was third at 65, and Mark O’Meara had a 66. Bernhard Langer, Steve Elkington and Duffy Waldorf shot 67. Charles Schwab Cup points leader Kenny Perry topped the group at 68. Perry entered the event 612 points ahead of second-place Langer. If Langer wins the tournament, Perry needs only to finish fifth or better take the season title and $1 million annuity. Senior shot a 6-under 30 on the front nine, culminating with an eagle on the ninth hole. He birdied Nos. 11 and 12 and allowed himself to start thinking big.
“It’s obviously frustrating when you’ve had a couple of seasons previous where you’ve had success, and not being able to emulate that,” he said. “The way I look at it, if I have a 25-year career, nine months isn’t actually that long. I wouldn’t say ’restless,’ but obviously there’s a point in time where you’re thinking to yourself, ’Right, come on, let’s get this back on track.’ But I’ve tried to stay as patient as possible.” More patience is required against a strong field at Sheshan International for this World Golf Championship. Fernandez-Castano is coming off his first win of the year last week at the BMW Masters. The group at 4-under 68 included U.S. Open champion Justin Rose, former Masters champion Bubba Watson and 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, playing as though last season never ended. Another shot behind were Dustin Johnson, Paul Casey and Graeme McDowell, who remains second on the European Tour money list with hopes of catching Henrik Stenson. The timing was crucial for McIlroy. Not only has he failed to win a tournament, he is at No. 62 in the Race to Dubai with only two tournaments remaining to get into the top 60 and qualify for the season-ending World Tour Championship in Dubai. McIlroy won the money title a year ago. “It’s only 18 holes. It’s only one round of golf,” McIlroy said. “But it’s definitely the way I wanted and needed to start, keeping in mind that I obviously want to play myself into Dubai and try to pick up my first win of the season, as well.” British Open champion Phil Mickelson had a
chance to join McIlroy in the lead until it all went wrong. One shot behind with two holes to play, Mickelson hit two wedges into the water fronting the par-5 eighth green and took a quadruple-bogey 9. His second wedge landed some 30 feet beyond the pin and had so much spin that it raced off the green and down the bank into the water. He hit another shot into the water on No. 9, and followed that with a brave shot to 2 feet to escape with only a bogey. He fell back to a 71. Spieth, who went from no status at the start of the year to a spot in the Presidents Cup and No. 20 in the world, didn’t arrive until Monday and has been battling jet lag this week after his first trip to China. He was 2-over through eight holes, and then played 6-under the rest of the way, as if last season never ended. “I didn’t really know what to expect out of the game this week, travelling over here and limited practice,” he said. “But maybe it was good for me. My caddie helped me stay calm and stay positive, and once the putts started going in, we were just in our normal routine.” But this day ultimately was about McIlroy. McIlroy hit a 3-wood just over the back of the par-4 16th hole and chipped to 3 feet for birdie. His 3-iron from light rough was about 20 yards short of the green on the par-5 18th, and he chipped to 5 feet for birdie. And on the par-5 second hole, another 3-iron from the rough left him 30 yards short, and he pitched that to 6 feet for birdie. The other birdie during that stretch was on No. 1, his only tee shot off line. From the rough, his 9-iron from 160 yards covered the flag and settled about 7 feet away.

Raonic Varlamov can travel with Avs while awaiting charges ousted from Paris Masters BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE CANADIAN PRESS PARIS — Milos Raonic lost his chance for a spot in the ATP World Tour Finals, as the Canadian went down to a 7-6 (13), 6-4 loss against Tomas Berdych on Thursday in the third round of the Paris Masters. The defeat in just under two hours also settled the final lineup for the eight-man season wrapup, which starts Monday in London. Stanislas Wawrinka and Richard Gasquet gained the last two places as a result of Raonic’s loss. The 22-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., lost against Berdych for the first time. He had beaten the Czech in both of their previous matches, including a September final in Bangkok. No Canadian has ever reached the year-end event in singles, though Toronto’s Daniel Nestor has made multiple appearances in doubles. “I didn’t have any pressure thinking about London,” said Raonic, who fired 18 aces and only lost his serve once. “I actually didn’t think about it until I stepped off the court, It was not a part of my mental process. “The two guys who made London deserved it. I had a match point against Gasquet at the U.S. Open, maybe things would be different now if I had won that one. But I can’t really say I’m disappointed. “I see how close I came,” said Raonic, who will still gets a handsome payday as an alternate in London, “I know I can improve a lot more.” Raonic battled hard with the sixth-seeded Berdych during a 68-minute opening set, saving five set points while failing to convert on two of his own. Once the set was done — Berdych put a forehand winner into the corner to claim it — the Czech then broke Raonic to start the second set. Raonic was forced to play catch-up and failed to get the break back. “He played well at the important moments, he was fired up,” said Raonic. Raonic ends 2013 with 45 wins and 21 losses, earning titles at San Jose and Bangkok. He was playing this tournament for only the second time and has yet to get past the third round.
NHL SUSPENSION NEW YORK — The NHL has suspended Buffalo Sabres forward John Scott for seven games for his illegal check to Boston forward Loui Eriksson’s head. Scott already has served three games while waiting for an in-person hearing, which was held Thursday morning. Scott was issued a match penalty for charging and ejected for his hit on Eriksson early in the third period of Boston’s 5-2 win on Oct. 23. Eriksson was skating through the neutral zone and had just dumped the puck into the Sabres zone when Scott skated in from the player’s right and struck him with a shoulder to the face. Eriksson suffered a concussion and spent the night in a Buffalo hospital after the hit. He has yet to return to Boston’s lineup.
team is standing behind Varlamov. “He has the full and total support of the Colorado Avalanche,” he said. The Avalanche said in a statement that they were aware of the allegations but wouldn’t comment further until the conclusion of the investigation. Varlamov’s teammates took to the ice for practice on Thursday about the time he appeared in court. Afterward, they tried to dodge the topic of his case. “It’s an unfortunate situation and hopefully it gets resolved real soon, but we’ll focus on hockey right now,” forward Matt Duchene said. “That’s what we’re worried about.” The Avalanche are off to a torrid 10-1 start and have become the talk of hockey under first-year coach Patrick Roy. Duchene doesn’t think this will derail the Avalanche. “You just don’t think about it,” Duchene said. “It’s tough.
You’re concerned about your teammate. We all love Varly in here. I can’t say enough great things about him. I think we’re all pretty confident this is going to get resolved pretty quickly.” Varlamov was scheduled to start in goal tonight in Dallas against the Stars. Roy wouldn’t commit to whether that’s still the plan. Varlamov will make the trip to Dallas with the team. “We’re going to take it one day at a time, like we’ve been doing all year long,” Roy said. Acquired from Washington in a 2011 trade, Varlamov is 7-1 this season with a 1.76 goalsagainst average. On Sunday night, he made 24 saves in a 3-2 home victory over Winnipeg. “He’s a big part of what we’ve been doing so far, a huge part, actually,” forward P.A. Parenteau said. “So we’re behind him and hopefully it will take care of itself. “We’ll handle the situation as a family, as a team, and we’ll go from there.”

LOSS ELIMINATES CHANCE AT SPOT IN LONDON FINAL
DENVER — Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov will be able to travel with the team while prosecutors consider whether he should be charged with assaulting his girlfriend. On Thursday, a judge said Varlamov could be released if he posted US$5,000 bond and be allowed to travel with the team but he was ordered to stay away from his girlfriend, among other restrictions. The girlfriend told investigators that Varlamov kicked her in the chest, knocking her down, and stomped on her chest as she lay on the ground in her apartment on Monday, according to an arrest affidavit. The girlfriend, whose name was redacted, also accused Varlamov of dragging her by her hair and telling her that he would have beaten her more if they had been in Russia.
Varlamov appeared in court briefly Thursday. He spent the night in jail after turning himself in on Wednesday. He stood next to his lawyer to face Denver County Judge Claudia Jordan, who also told him, through a Russian interpreter, that he couldn’t drink or possess firearms. He also had to sign a waiver that he would be immediately sent back to Colorado if he fled. The 25-year-old turned himself in to police Wednesday evening, after practising with the team that day. He was arrested on suspicion of second-degree kidnapping and third-degree assault. Varlamov’s agent, Paul Theofanous, said he “is completely innocent of all of these charges.” Varlamov’s lawyer, Jack Rotole, declined to comment on the case, saying he would defend his client in court. He told the judge that the

School board Court proceedings chairs chosen adjourned for districts FAS GAS ROBBERY
Court proceedings arising from a violent robbery in Red Deer have been adjourned for three weeks to allow further psychiatric testing of one of the two suspects. Eric Michael Ayotte and Jeffrey Lyle Geary are jointly charged with multiple weapons offences in connection with an incident at the West Park Fas Gas on Sept. 11. Red Deer City RCMP say store clerk Jaysen Arancon Reyes, 26, suffered shotgun wounds to his face and hands during a robbery. Reyes remains in treatment at a Calgary hospital. Geary, 30, and Ayotte, 29, are jointly charged with using a sawed-off shotgun in a robbery attempt, possession of a prohibited weapon for a dangerous purpose, illegal possession of a prohibited weapon that was loaded and ready to fire and possession of a firearm obtained by crime.
Geary is also charged with attempted murder and one additional weapons offence. Ayotte is charged alone with possessing a weapon while prohibited. Currently in custody, both men were brought before Judge David Plosz in Red Deer provincial court for pleas on Thursday. No pleas were entered, however, because one of the psychiatric reports requested for Geary had not yet been completed. Geary has been found fit to stand trial, but an assessment has not yet been performed to determine whether he has a mental disorder that would make him not criminally responsible for the offences with which he is charged, said Crown prosecutor Jason Snider. Both men are due back in court on Nov. 29 to enter their pleas.
BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF The school board chairs have been chosen for Red Deer Public School District and Chinook’s Edge School Division. Bev Manning was selected as chair for Red Deer Public. It will be the first time as chair for Manning, who is in her seventh term as trustee. She previously served six years as vice-chair. “It’s feels great to have the support of the board. I’m excited about the new year and the work we have ahead of us,” Manning said. Cathy Peacocke, who was first elected to the board in 2007, was voted in as vice-chair. For Chinook’s Edge, Colleen Butler, the trustee for Delburne/ Elnora, was re-elected board

chair at the recent organizational meeting. Butler has been serving as chair since she was first chosen for the position in 2010. “Colleen is very well respected throughout the school division. On every level she’s a strong leader who supports a consistent direction that doesn’t change because of a shiny fish hook,” said superintendent Kurt Sacher. “She’s set the organization up to do high quality work in a very thoughtful and methodical direction.” Ron Fisher was elected once again as vice-chair. The Sundre trustee has also been in that role since 2010. Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools trustees will select their board chair on Tuesday. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate. com

Writer helps pregnancy care centre ASKED TO WRITE MONOLOGUES FOR THE CENTRE’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY GALA information based on the work the centre does. “I was able to research and learn about the choices and questions people face when they have an unexpected pregnancy,” said Kooman. “I was given the freedom to craft and imagine three stories of three distinct people.” He looked at the monologues as a chance to write three human stories. He likes strong female characters and has tried to include them in previous work.
BRIEFS Medical columnist do discuss book Physician and medical columnist Ken Walker will be making a stop in Red Deer on Nov. 18 to discuss his latest book, as well as heart disease and other medial issues. Walker, who uses the pen name W. Gifford Jones, MD, recently published What I Learned as a Medical Journalist, a collection of his columns. Originally expecting to write for a year or two, Walker has continued The Doctor Game column for 38 years. It can be found in more than 70 Canadian newspapers, several in the United States and the Epoch Times, which publishes across Europe. What I Learned as a Medical Journalist shares Walker’s interviews with medical authorities and his experience challenging controversial medical issues over the years. These include advocating for the legalization of heroin for terminal cancer patients. The book also delves into natural remedies and Walker’s own take on the medical establishment. Walker will be at the iHotel on 67th Street in Red Deer at 7 p.m. on Nov. 18. The lecture is free and no registration is required. For more information, visit www.docgiff.com or contact Shelley Armstrong at 905-690-7680 or by email at armstrong@execulink.com.
A Red Deer College instructor with a passion for famed Canadian author Margaret Laurence has been awarded a national grant to research the author and her relationship with Canadian publisher Jack McClelland. Laura Davis, an English instructor at the college and a specialist in Laurence’s fiction, applied for the grant after a 25-year restriction to archived company letters at the McClelland and Stewart publishing house was lifted in 2012. Davis is looking forward to the opportunity to learn about one of Canada’s most well-known authors through the newly available letters.
Oil tank cleaning at a vehicle oil change shop was the suspected cause of a natural gas-like odour that was detected in downtown Red Deer on Thursday morning. Stewart McTavish, platoon chief with Red Deer Emergency Services, said several calls came in from the general public about 10:30 a.m. “Some of the businesses kind of self-evacuated, but we were never dispatched to any calls. They never called 911,” McTavish said. He said the smell was believed to have originated around 46th Street and 49th Avenue, but emergency services can’t confirm that because emergency staff were not called out. Staff are doing a follow-up investigation.
Sexual assault case in court Final arguments were to be made today in the trial of a Red Deer man accused of sexually assaulting his stepdaughter. The 39-year-old man’s name is withheld to protect the identity of the girl, who was 13 at the time three of the offences are alleged to have occurred. An earlier offence is alleged to have taken place while she was a toddler, but no complaint was laid at the time. In her testimony before Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Keith Yamauchi, the girl described three incidents, including an assault during a family camping trip in July 2011 and two further incidents that year at the family home on the evening of Aug. 24 and again in the morning of Aug. 25. Her mother testified concerning the earlier incident. Questioned by defence counsel Kevin Sproule in court on Thursday, the man denied all of the allegations. He said he and the girl’s mother met in 1998 and were married early in 2000. Although not the child’s biological father, he said had been her dad since she was three months old and that he had never touched her inappropriately or invited her to touch his body. Defence counsel Kevin Sproule and Crown prosecutor Robin Snider were scheduled to make their closing arguments today with Yamauchi to give his decision on Nov. 7.

COSTUME: Some allowed “She was distraught, she came home in tears and heartbroke about this,” said Stalwick. Unlike neighbouring G.H. Dawe Community School, which does not allow costumes at all, St. Patrick’s does, but with a few caveats. Previously, St. Patrick’s principal Margaretrose Willms said students are allowed to wear costumes on Halloween, dress in orange or black or dress as they usually do.

ture between Petro-Canada, UTS Energy and Teck (TSX:TCK.B). Petro-Canada was acquired by Suncor in mid-2009 and UTS was acquired by French energy giant Total a year later. Fort Hills, about 90 kilometres north of Fort McMurray, has best estimate contingent resources of 3.3 billion barrels of bitumen. The mine’s life is expected to be 50 years. “The Fort Hills project is one of the best undeveloped oil sands mining assets in the Athabasca region, is an excellent fit with Suncor’s diversified production portfolio, and will generate significant economic value for Suncor, Alberta and Canada,” said Williams. “Given its combination of ore quality and resource size, we expect this project will be a significant source of long-term cash flow for the company and contribute strong returns for our shareholders.” Earlier this year, Suncor scrapped its Voyageur upgrader, which was also part of a joint-venture with Total. It decided it wasn’t economically feasible to invest in a multibillion-dollar complex to process the oilsands bitumen into a lighter crude refineries can handle, when huge volumes of light crude are flowing out of North Dakota and other U.S. regions. The fate of the Joslyn oilsands mine, another Suncor-Total joint venture, has yet to be decided.
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The Fort Hills oilsands mine is a go after years of delay, Suncor Energy Inc. (TSX:SU) announced Wednesday. Canada’s largest energy company says the project’s total cost — shared between Suncor and partners Total E&P Canada Ltd. and Teck Resources Ltd. — is now $13.5 billion. That amounts to about $84,000 per flowing barrel of bitumen and is in-line with similar oilsands projects that have been built recently, Suncor said. “The Fort Hills economics are positive,” said CEO Steve Williams. “Great effort has been made to ensure that our depth of experience and recent technology improvements in oil sands mines are integrated into the development of the project. We are delighted that the other owners share our enthusiasm for this exciting new development.” Fort Hills, which has been shelved since the onset of the 2008 financial crisis, is expected to start producing oil in late 2017, at the earliest, ramping up to its full capacity of 180,000 barrels per day within 12 months. It’s expected to account for about 15 per cent of Suncor’s total capital budget on average per year. Also Wednesday, pipeline giant Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) announced it plans to build a $1.6-billion pipeline to bring crude from Fort Hills and other Suncor oilsands projects to its hub in Hardisty. The Wood Buffalo Extension Pipeline will carry some 490,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day. Enbridge is also moving ahead with plans to build a $1.4-billion pipeline to bring diluent — a lighter petroleum product used to thin-out bitumen so that it can flow through pipelines — from Edmonton to the oilsands region. Fort Hills and other Suncor oilsands projects will anchor the Norlite project, but Enbridge said it will be seeking long-term commitments from other potential customers as well. Norlite is expected to have a capacity of 270,000 barrels per day, expandable to 400,000. In its earlier iteration, Fort Hills was a joint-ven-

Residential construction in Red Deer is expected to hit 690 starts this year and 715 in 2014, according to the latest forecast from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.
CMHC expects more resale home sales in Central Alberta Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. has revised upward its expectations for Central Alberta’s resale market this year and next. In its fourth quarter housing market outlook, issued on Thursday, the national housing agency said it now anticipates that there will be 4,800 Multiple Listing Service sales in the area this year and 5,000 in 2014. Those figures are up from 4,304 in 2012, and are also higher than the projections in CMHC’s third quarter housing market outlook in August, when it was forecasting 4,700 sales this year and 4,900 in 2014. CMHC expects prices to average $299,000 this year and $310,000 next year, as compared with $279,180 in 2012. The agency’s previous outlook called for an average price of $295,000 this year and $301,000 in 2014. When it comes to new residential construction in Red Deer, CMHC’s latest forecast is unchanged from August. It’s an-
ticipating starts on 365 singledetached homes and 325 units in multi-family projects, for a total of 690 in 2013. Next year, these numbers are expected to swell to 385 for single-detached and 330 for multi-family homes, for a total of 715. Last year, housing starts in the city numbered 568 — 326 singledetached and 242 multi-family. In an analysis accompanying its most recent housing market outlook, CMHC said markets like Calgary, which are experiencing tight resale market conditions, will see more buyers looking to the new home market. It added that single-detached starts should rise this year and next in most of Alberta’s seven largest urban centres. Multi-family starts will decline in Edmonton next year, due to heightened supply levels, said CMHC. But work on multi-family projects in Calgary should increase. CMHC said that Alberta’s high
level of net migration will help support resale housing demand through 2014. Employment and wage growth should also contribute to a higher level of resale transactions, it added. CMHC expects the average MLS price in Alberta to reach $379,200 in 2013 and $387,400 in 2014. It noted that the sales-to-newlistings ratio for Alberta has been trending higher, which indicates stronger demand relative to supply. CMHC expects new listings to increase in 2014, as sellers take advantage of higher valuations, which in turn should help moderate the pace of price growth. Nationally, CMHC expects slightly more housing starts this year and slightly fewer in 2014 than it was predicting in its August outlook. That will result in a period of relative stability, although both years will be slower than 2012.
Northwestern Air boosts service Northwestern Air is expanding its scheduled passenger service between Red Deer and Fort McMurray. The Fort Smith, N.W.T.-based carrier, which currently flies between the two communities on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, plans to add Tuesday and Thursday flights, beginning Nov. 18. Northwestern’s general manager, Tomas Chlumecky, said in a release that this change reflects strong demand for air service between Red Deer and Fort McMurray. R.J. Steenstra, CEO of the Red Deer Airport Authority, added that the new schedule should benefit frequent business travellers and commuting workers. Northwestern also flies from the Red Deer Air-
port to Kelowna and Abbotsford, B.C. Chlumecky said passengers from Fort McMurray will be able to connect to Kelowna via Red Deer on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. “This is great for both leisure and business travellers and is the quickest connection from Fort McMurray to Kelowna, with only a 25-minute turnaround.” With the expanded schedule, flights will depart from the Red Deer Airport to Fort McMurray at 8 a.m. on Mondays, 3:20 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 2:15 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays. Return flights will arrive at the Red Deer Airport at 11:15 a.m. on Mondays, 11:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 5:20 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Dustin Sproat entered the Dragons’ Den prepared for a battle, and when the smoke cleared he was victorious. The former Red Deer resident and his business partner Kyle Hagel pitched their Shnarped Hockey app on the popular CBC television show in an episode that aired Wednesday evening. All five of the investment moguls wanted a piece of the venture — a hockeyfocused software application that enables users to interact with professional players. The dragons’ unanimous endorsement of Shnarped Hockey, and the prime-time exposure it received, is certain to boost public interest in the app. “I won’t be able to measure it for about three or four weeks, but we’ve had a fantastic response,” said Sproat on Thursday. “The phone and the email and the Facebook and the Twitter have blown up.” Also helping drive interest in the app — which already had about 15,000 users — was a Twitter mention on Wednesday by TSN hockey commentator Bob McKenzie. Available free through the Apple and Google Play app stores, Shnarped Hockey provides statistics and personal information about players in the National Hockey League, American Hockey League, Central Hockey League and ECHL. Users have access to news alerts and video highlights, as well as a direct Twitter link to the players they’re tracking. They can congratulate players and even receive a response. Currently, some 350 pro players are verified users of the app, including 80 NHLers, said Sproat. “We have a lot of big name NHL agents use it because it’s great for tracking various players that move around in all these different leagues.” During their Dragons Den’ appearance, Sproat and Hagel presented panelists Jim Treliving, David Chilton, Arlene Dickinson, Kevin O’Leary and Bruce Croxon with NHL jerseys. Chilton and Dickinson combined to make one offer for a share of Shnarped Hockey, with Croxon and Treliving combining for another,
and O’Leary proposing a third. Ultimately, the dragons joined forces to offer $250,000 for one third of the business — which Sproat and Hagel accepted. “We went in prepared to get grilled pretty hard by a lot of them, especially Kevin O’Leary,” said Sproat. “We went in armed and ready, and are really happy with how it turned out.” The episode was actually filmed in April. Since then, Sproat and Hagel — and a third partner, Kamil Sikorski — narrowed their list of celebrity investors to one. “We closed a deal with Jim Treliving earlier this week, which we’re really excited about,” said Sproat. He pointed out that many of the deals struck on TV are never formally concluded. “Often the entrepreneurs turn down the dragons and often the dragons turn down the entrepreneurs.” The app already displays the logo of Boston Pizza, which Treliving franchises, and more are expected shortly. The partners are also negotiating licensing deals with a number of NHL teams that would generate further revenue, said Sproat. Born and raised in Red Deer, Sproat went through the city’s minor hockey system before playing with the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior Hockey League and the Princeton University Tigers of the NCAA. He also spent three years in the ECHL with the Fresno Falcons and Cincinnati Cyclones, and was a member of the Bentley Generals Senior AAA Hockey Club that won the 2013 Allan Cup. Sproat and Hagel played together at Princeton, and later at Fresno, with Hagel currently a member of the Portland Pirates of the AHL. Ironically, he was signed by Brad Treliving, assistant GM of the Pirates’ NHL affiliate Phoenix Coyotes, and Jim Treliving’s son. Sproat recently completed his MBA at the University of British Columbia, and is now devoting all of his time to Shnarped Hockey.

Economy shows signs of forward momentum BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s economy put it a solid if unspectacular performance in August, fuelled by a continuing rebound in the oil and gas sector . The 0.3 per cent monthly pick-up surpassed economist expectations. It followed a strong 0.6 per cent July that reversed the previous month’s interruption, which the Bank of Canada at-

tributed to temporary impacts of the Alberta floods and Quebec construction strike. Economists were encouraged by the even nature of the growth and the fact that August maintained some of the previous month’s above-potential pace. Markets also appeared buoyed, lifting the dollar 0.38 of a cent to 95.76 cents US. Analysts said the positive results puts the economy back on a growth track and perhaps at a faster rate than the central bank’s recent cau-

tious forecast. Royal Bank economist Paul Ferley calculated the third quarter, which ended in September, might come in as high as 2.8 per cent annualized, about one point stronger than the bank’s latest estimate and one point above the increase in the second quarter. Still, Ferley and other analysts said Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz will want more evidence of the momentum before changing his policy direction that, in an report last week, removed any talk of

interest rate hikes. Analysts said Canadians should plan on interest rates remaining where they are until early or mid-2015. “This is a positive result. However, there are many risks going forward given the fiscal woes that have unfolded in the U.S. with the temporary government shutdown, the unresolved issues surrounding the debt ceiling and falling confidence levels,” economist Arlene Kish of IHS Global Insight said in a note to clients.

In the monetary policy report issued last week, the Bank of Canada said it was concerned about persistently low inflation, which points to slack in the economy, and the consistent under-performance of exports, which the bank said was restraining overall growth. The August numbers will not completely allay those concerns, but the growth drivers should offer the central bank some solace that the so-called “rotation” to export-based growth may not be too far off.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market ended October trading sharply lower Thursday, amid major announcements from the oilpatch, earnings disappointments and uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s next move. The S&P/TSX composite index was down 94.07 points to 13,361.26, led by sliding gold stocks. Despite the decline, the TSX closed at a 27-month high as the market enjoyed its best month all year, leaving the main index up 4.5 per cent for the month and 7.5 per cent year to date. Bombardier Inc. (TSX:BBD.B) was a major drag, down 54 cents or 10.23 per cent to $4.74 on very heavy volume of 27.2 million shares, as the transport giant posted adjusted net income of $165 million or nine cents per share, which was one cent below estimates. Revenue of $4.1 billion also missed analyst estimates. The Canadian dollar rose as growth for August came in higher than economists had forecast. The loonie was up 0.52 of a cent to 95.9 cents US after Statistics Canada reported that gross domestic product grew by 0.3 per cent in August versus an expected rise of 0.2 per cent. Suncor Energy Inc. announced that the $13.5-billion Fort Hills oilsands project will go ahead. The cost will be shared between Canada’s largest energy company and partners Total E&P Canada Ltd. and Teck Resources Ltd. (TSX:TCK.B). Suncor also said it recorded net earnings of $1.69 billion, or $1.13 per common share, for the third quarter, compared with $1.54 billion, or $1.01 per common share a year ago. Suncor stock moved down 10 cents to $37.89 while Teck lost $1.41 to $27.90. U.S. indexes were lower after the Fed left traders no wiser about when the central bank might start tapering its US$85 billion monthly bond purchasing program. The Dow Jones industrials dropped 73.01 points to 15,545.75, the Nasdaq was down 10.91 points to 3,919.71 while the S&P 500 index lost 6.77 points to 1,756.54. The Fed said it would maintain the program for now but hinted that tapering could occur earlier than many investors thought. There had been hopes that the Fed wouldn’t move until at least March, well after
Janet Yellen has taken over the reins at the central bank. Gold stocks were the biggest sector decliner, down 4.3 per cent while December bullion fell $25 to US$1,324.30 an ounce. Goldcorp (TSX:G) fell $1.07 to C$26.56. Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) is cutting its capital spending budget by a further US$1 billion next year as a result of suspending construction at its troubled Pascua-Lama project located by the Argentina-Chile border. At the same time, the miner handed in adjusted earnings of 58 cents per share, seven cents better than estimates. Its shares were 62 cents lower to $20.28. Techs were also a drag as shares in business software company Open Text Corp. (TSX:OTC) fell $2.63 or 3.3 per cent to $76.62 even as the company more than doubled its quarterly profits to $30.6 million, or 52 cents per share. The base metals sector was down 1.23 per cent as December copper lost two cents to US$3.30 a pound. HudBay Minerals (TSX:HBM) dropped 18 cents to C$8.50. The energy sector was down 0.3 per cent with December crude down 39 cents to US$96.38 following a tumble of almost $1.50 Wednesday in the wake of data showing a much bigger than expected rise in U.S. inventories last week. Imperial Oil Ltd. (TSX:IMO) had $647 million of net income, or 76 cents per share, down from $1.04 billion or $1.22 a year earlier and below the estimate of 98 cents per share and its shares dropped 42 cents to C$45.53. Financials were down a slight 0.1 per cent but was one of the star TSX performers, up over six per cent for the month and 18 per cent year to date with markets feeling a lot more comfortable that the Canadian housing sector isn’t coming in for a hard landing.

Suncor to draw on oilsands experience to keep lid on Fort Hills costs THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Suncor Energy Inc. says it will draw from its own deep experience in Alberta’s oilsands — and learn from some of the pitfalls of its peers — as it aims to keep a lid on costs at its newly sanctioned Fort Hills oilsands mine. “We know that projects have been difficult in this region,” said Suncor CEO Steve Williams on a conference call Thursday. “We’ve been learning these lessons over a number of years.” Indeed, Williams noted Suncor (TSX:SU) has spent $20 billion in the oilsands region in northeast Alberta over the past four years, and managed to bring those projects on or below budget. That’s not an easy task in a sector where labour and materials cost have a history of getting out of hand. Suncor announced late Wednesday that it and its partners — Teck Resources Ltd. (TSX:TCK.B) and Total E&P Canada Ltd. — had formally decided to move ahead with Fort Hills after years of delay. In its entirety, the mine is expected to cost $13.5 billion, of which Suncor will shoulder $5.5 billion. It’s expected to start producing crude in late 2017 at the earliest. Fort Hills will be built during a relatively quiet period in the oilsands, which means the partners have been able to land some fairly com-
D I L B E R T
petitive contracts, said Williams. A decision on Joslyn, another oilsands mining joint-venture with Total E&P Canada, likely won’t be made for some time, as the companies wouldn’t want the two projects to overlap, he added. The mine north of Fort McMurray, Alta., was shelved by its former operator, Petro-Canada, in late 2008 as the financial crisis hit and costs spiralled out of control. Suncor took over PetroCanada the following year. A separate TotalSuncor joint-venture to build an upgrader to process the oilsands bitumen into a lighter type of crude refineries can handle, was scrapped earlier this year due to poor economics. At Fort Hills, bitumen will be processed with a technology called paraffinic froth treatment, which eliminates the need for a multibillion-dollar upgrader on site. Imperial Oil Ltd. (TSX:IMO) uses that method at its oilsands operations. Fort Hills, with a mine life of about fifty years, has an expected internal rate of return of 13 per cent, said chief financial officer Bart Demosky. “It’s the kind of asset that most companies can only dream of having,” he said. The project will represent on average about 15 per cent of Suncor’s annual capital expenditures — expected to be about $7 billion to $8 billion next year — “which
is not a significant burden for the company,” Demosky said. Steve Reynish, executive vice-president of oilsands ventures at Suncor, said front-end engineering at Fort Hills is 95 per cent complete, and much of the infrastructure necessary to start construction is already in place. Suncor doesn’t intend to have more than 5,500 workers on site at any given time, and work will be spread as evenly as possible over the construction period. “We believe that will certainly enable us to monitor cost and schedule in a much more controlled way,” said Reynish. “We have learned lessons from our own projects and from the projects of the others in the recent past and we have strategies and logistics to support that.” The most recent oilsands mine to start up in the Fort McMurray region — the first phase of Imperial’s $12.9-billion oilsands mine — came in well over budget and months behind schedule. A large contributor to the higher Kearl costs had to do with bringing enormous South Korean-made modules to Fort McMurray by truck. Amid public resistance to the modules moving along secondary highways in Idaho and Montana, Imperial ended up breaking down the modules into smaller parts, transporting them to site on U.S. Interstate highways, and putting them back together.

Amazon competes against Canadian supermarkets, enters grocery business BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Online retailer Amazon is taking on supermarkets by delivering food directly to Canadians’ doorsteps. The retail giant, which built its business selling books and entertainment through the mail, launched its new grocery category Thursday, in what’s certain to be an intensifying battle between grocers. Amazon says the initial selection includes 15,000 non-perishable grocery products, like coffee, cereal and baby food, from a variety of brands such as Campbell, Nestle, Pepsi, and Kellogg. While the launch doesn’t include perishables like milk, fruits or vegetables, it’s a strong sign that Amazon wants to make inroads in an area of the food business that hasn’t been tapped by any company in Canada outside of major cities. Amazon.ca country manager Alexandre Gagnon said the next step is to grow its lineup of products. “No one customer is the same, so our focus is on providing a broad selection of brands so that customers can easily and instantly find and buy exactly what they are looking for,” he said in an emailed response. Amazon (Nasdaq:AMZN) said most of the food items can be shipped for free using its two-day subscription service Amazon Prime. The strategic move will make it tougher for the country’s biggest grocers like Loblaws (TSX:L), Sobeys and Metro (TSX:MRU), who have been focused in the last few years on competing against U.S. big box retailers like Target and Walmart. Canadian grocers have been enveloped by massive consolidations of the market as they attempt to lower overall costs and increase buying power with manufacturers.
In June, Sobeys bought the Canadian assets of U.S. grocer Safeway for $5.8 billion, a deal that will expand its reach in key urban markets in Western Canada. The deal still requires the approval of the Competition Bureau. On its heels, Loblaw secured an agreement to buy Shoppers Drug Mart Corp. (TSX:SC) for $12.4 billion in cash and stock that is also still under review by the federal competition agency. For retailers, price competition and exclusivity have taken a priority over setting up digital storefronts like their U.S. competitors. Earlier this year, Walmart Canada opened its own digital storefront for food that includes dairy, meat and non-perishables. Other smaller grocers like Longo’s offer similar delivery services in the Toronto area through Grocery Gateway, and Sky Rise Foods offers the service in Vancouver. Canada’s largest grocery stores have also shifted a stronger focus to fresh foods, partly because the U.S. retailers haven’t spent much time trying to corner that area of the market. Target Canada doesn’t stock fruits and vegetables in its limited food section, while Walmart has been gradually expanding its produce line as part of its larger supercentre format. With all of these changes underway, shopping online has become an afterthought for retailers, which has given Amazon a relatively open field to grow its business, especially with younger consumers. This week, the company also opened a section of its website that sells automotive products, which adds to the expansion into toys and beauty products launched earlier this year. In the U.S., Amazon recently began testing a broader selection on groceries under the label AmazonFresh, which ships staples such as milk, and fruits and vegetables, to consumers in the Los Angeles and the Seattle area.
Cara Operations announces plan to acquire Fairfax’s restaurant holdings BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VAUGHAN, Ont. — Two major Canadian restaurant companies operating under banners such as East Side Mario’s, Casey’s, Swiss Chalet and Harvey’s will merge under the same ownership in a deal announced Thursday. Cara Operations said it will take over Prime Restaurants in a deal done with Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. (TSX:FFH). Cara is a 125-year-old food services company that owns Swiss Chalet, Harvey’s hamburger chain and full-service dining restaurants including Milestones Grill & Bar, Montana’s Cookhouse, and Kelsey’s Neighbourhood Bar & Grill. Prime’s banners include East Side Mario’s, Casey’s, Fionn MacCool’s and Bier Markt. Toronto-based Fairfax acquired Prime two years ago for about $71 million after outbidding Cara, a private company controlled for more than a century by the Phelan family.
The deal between Fairfax and Cara was disclosed as a strategic financing transaction but dollar values and other details weren’t disclosed in the announcement. The announcement Thursday appears in line with reports that Cara and Fairfax were working on a deal that would combine the two restaurant businesses, with Bill Gregson as the new president and CEO. Gregson was formerly the executive chairman of The Brick. John A. Rothschild will continue as CEO of Prime and be executive vicechairman of Cara’s board. The interim chairman of Cara’s board, Michael Norris, said in a statement that the deal will leverage Fairfax’s financial heft, Cara’s size and expertise and Prime’s brands. “Strategically, this broadens our offering to Canadian families, and moves us further towards our vision of becoming the undisputed leader of the restaurant industry in Canada,” Rothschild said in a statement.

Drop-in fuels can replace conventional fuels “Drop-in fuels” are defined as chemically similar, if not outright identical to conventional fuels, and are fundamentally switchable with diesel or gasoline. Unlike ethanol or biodiesel, they can replace the conventional fuels as opposed to having to be blended with them. Until now, algae was the predominate player in producing a drop-in fuel, but as of yet it is nowhere near commercial production. Butanol, a product of ethyl alcohol, or isobutyl alcohol as it is also known, is a close second and there are plans for commercialization in the next few years with the retrofitting of some existing ethanol facilities in the midwest United States. LORNE Alberta (no surprise) is not OJA lagging behind in its efforts to participate in the renewable fuel game. Since 2003, we have been working hard to develop our contribution to the production of drop-in fuels. Researchers at the University of Alberta have developed a process that uses heat to “crack” renewable feed stocks such as plant seed oils, animal fats (like beef tallow or cooking grease) and tall oil, a byproduct from trees and the forest industry, into molecules identical to conventional petroleum. The process blends water and the feedstock and then uses an ultra-high heat treatment process that forms fatty acids and glycerol. Once cooled, the fatty acids are removed from the water and glycerol and then further pyrolized to produce deoxygenized petroleum liquids. The petroleum liquids can then be refined to gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, etc. This patented process, which until now was too expensive for commercialization, is the brainchild of David Bressler of the University of Alberta, faculty of Agricultural Life and Environmental Science. Bressler has spent almost 10 years working on developing an economic and simple process. The whole process eliminates a million years of natural processes and produces a fuel that can drop into existing hydrocarbon infrastructure. What’s more, when compared to the production of petroleum using traditional methods, the production of this drop-in fuel reduces greenhouse gases, according to Bressler and his team, by an estimated 90 to 99 per cent. This lipid-to-hydrocarbon process is now in the initial stages of commercialization with a pre-commercial plant being commissioned on the U of A campus. Once in operation, it is expected to produce 200,000 litres of renewable fuels by the end of this year. With proof of concept, a full-sized commercial plant will follow. With the development of renewable fuels that are as energy dense as conventional petroleum, we will have made a small step forward to reducing our reliance on traditional sources of energy. This small step also moves us a little further in reducing
ENERGY
greenhouse gases by using animal and forest waste products that we presently have limited use for or require disposal. Using materials readily available in our environment for the production of fuel, this process reduces the use of carbon that has been sequestered for millions of years.

Mini space shuttle skids off runway in test flight BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A new, smaller version of NASA’s space shuttle is recuperating from a rough first landing. The Dream Chaser space plane is being designed by Sierra Nevada Corp. It’s vying to carry astronauts to and from the International Space Station in four or five more years. The Nevada-based company tested a full-scale model at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Saturday. A helicopter dropped the unmanned craft from 3,800 metres in a first free flight reminiscent of NASA’s drop tests of the shuttle prototype Enterprise in the 1970s. Everything worked well for the automated Dream Chaser model until the end, when the left landing gear deployed too late and the test vehicle skidded off the runway. Company space systems chief Mark Sirangelo said Tuesday that damage was minor. The crew cabin area was unscathed — astronauts would have been uninjured, he said. Nothing critical was damaged. Sirangelo stressed that the minute-long test flight was a success despite the ending. He said the mishap is likely due to mechanical failure; an investigation is underway. He said it shouldn’t hold up plans for a piloted landing test next year. Sierra Nevada — one of several U.S. companies hoping to carry NASA astronauts into orbit — plans the first orbital flight demo of Dream Chaser in 2016 and the first crewed orbital mission in 2017. NASA already is relying on private industry to ship cargo to the space station, a vacancy created by the retirement of the space shuttles in 2011. Until American companies provide a safe spaceship for crews, NASA will continue to fly its astronauts on Russian Soyuz capsules — for hefty prices.

Last Night at the Viper Room revisits tragedy of actor River Phoenix Last Night at the Viper Room: River Phoenix and the Hollywood He Left Behind by Gavin Edwards It Books BY DOUGLASS K. DANIEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Everything in life seemed to come to actor River Phoenix before he was ready for it. Death, too. As the eldest child of free-spirited parents who moved to South America to evangelize, he was just six when he sang on street corners in Venezuela for money to support a growing family. Involvement in the Children of God movement may have led him to become sexually active, if not abused, before he was 10. Phoenix was singing for spare change in Los Angeles with three of his four younger siblings when a Hollywood agent spotted him. He became a teenage star — and continued as the family’s breadwinner — with Stand by Me and The Mosquito Coast (both 1986) although he had never been to school, had only a rudimentary education and had no training as
an actor. He was smoking marijuana and trying cocaine before he could have a driver’s licence — heroin would come later. An Oscar nominee at 18 with Running on Empty (1988) and an adult star with My Own Private Idaho (1991), Phoenix was dead at 23. He suffered drug-induced convulsions outside the Viper Room, Johnny Depp’s Sunset Boulevard club in Los Angeles. Last Night at the Viper Room, by rock journalist Gavin Edwards, presents Phoenix’s vibrant if short life in the context of the culture that overwhelmed him. He comes across as wholly unprepared for adolescence and young adulthood in the U.S., not just Hollywood. He swung between extremes: leader of a small rock band one day and actor in a major movie the next, an advocate for natural foods and clean living who was often drunk and high. As Edwards notes, Phoenix was at the head of a new generation of actors. So many of his contemporaries — Ethan Hawke, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kiefer Sutherland, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater and Depp among them — faced their own
personal and professional challenges but made it to their 30s. Many became stars through roles that might have gone to Phoenix had had his grip on life been more sure. This was no tortured soul, just a lost one. “The guy was having a good time, but he made a big mistake and now he’s not here,” Depp, who was onstage at the Viper Room when Phoenix died, remarked not long afterward. Recalling that Phoenix had come with his guitar, Depp added, “That’s not an unhappy kid.” Edwards’ sensitive biography builds just the right tone for looking back at Phoenix’s life 20 years after his death: respect for his talents, admiration for his individuality and a subtle indignation for the tragedy to come. Why hasn’t River Phoenix become an icon like actor James Dean, another generation’s gonetoo-soon totem? Edwards notes that five months after Phoenix’s death came the suicide of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. “Apparently,” Edwards writes, “the ’90s had room for only one angel-faced blond boy, too pained by the world to live in it.”

When the day comes that you realize you have read nothing but fiction for several books, it is perhaps time to let Malcolm Gladwell or someone like him bounce some different ideas off your brain. He seems to catch a different slant on everyday occurrences and the results are informative and interesting. The story of David and Goliath, from the Old Testament, is known by most readers, but here is a different slant on what happened. According to Gladwell, David, small and armed only with a slingshot had the battle in the bag from the beginning. The Philistines couldn’t know that their overgrown hero Goliath probably suffered from acromegaly (overproduction of human growth hormone) and that he probably had impaired vision. So David comes within slinging distance and fells the giant with a rock to the mid-forehead. Although not referred to here, the Bible says David was also pumped with the power of the Lord, which probably lent something to the battle. So who was the underdog? The big guy. The expression ‘the bigger they are, the harder they fall’ probably originated on the same day. Gladwell takes many similar incidents and weaves them inside out, to show us that the ‘winner’ doesn’t always win. He takes up the modern problem of overcrowding in a classroom and the assumption that very small classes are advantageous. He points out the learning that goes on in a well-disciplined class of 28 or more students and why its better. He tells us when the top-ranking university is not the one to attend. When the problem of a “little fish in a big pond” leads to “relative deprivation,” big is not always beautiful. The only thing that intimidates me in a book of this type are the charts and graphs. No doubt they prove the case the author is making, but deep-seated math anxiety turns me to mush. If this is not the case with you, then enjoy. Gladwell loves charts and graphs. In this book, you can read of all the advantages of having dyslexia. That’s right — and the author proves it with case studies. He calls this part of the book The Theory of Desirable Difficulty. Here we are told how a upbringing of deprivation and poverty can be an advantage. He has a chapter on the civil rights movement in Birmingham, and how school children were put in jail, hosed with high pressure hoses and had the dogs turned on them, and that they won. The Irish Troubles, Amish forgiveness, support and succor of the Jews in wartime France — it’s all here and highly readable. The subtitle, Underdogs Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants, is apt. An underdog or misfit who does not buy into

North Texas man survives being hit twice by lightning in same storm THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BELIEVES GOD SAVE HIM
SAINT JO, Texas — An off-road racing enthusiast has survived being struck by lightning twice during the same storm in North Texas. Casey Wagner said Sunday that doctors told him a tingling feeling would last for about a week. KTVT-TV reports Wagner was at an off-road competition in Saint Jo, 135 km northwest of Dallas, when storms arrived. The 31-year-old Wagner was under a tree when he was hit by lightning.
He dropped to his knees then he was struck again. Wagner says he saw sparks during the strikes. A nurse who happened to be nearby cared for Wagner until he was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. Wagner says he believes God kept him alive — and he plans to start going to church more. Information from: KTVT-TV, http:// dfw.cbslocal.com

Humour off the menu FREE BIRDS UNABLE TO PLUCK THANKSGIVING FOR SEASONAL LAUGHS Free Birds 1 star (out of four) Rated: G BY LINDA BARNARD ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Are we seen by some filmmakers as popcorn-munching saps, content to occupy our eyeballs with anything animated that features the voices of movie and TV stars? Hence Free Birds, a seasonally pegged 3-D cartoon bore that sets the bar so low, it could give a slug a concussion. Co-written and directed by Jimmy Hayward (Jonah Hex, Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!), Free Birds is a pallid imitation of 2000’s superb self-preservation satire Chicken Run. The premise — that modern turkeys travel back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get their kind off the menu — is a one-line pitch spun into a 90-minute movie aided by more soggy stuffing than the contents of a Butterball. Scawny and self-aware, turkey Reggie (Owen Wilson) has tired of trying to persuade his barnyard flock their Thanksgiving invitation will have permanent results. He gets a stay of execution as the recipient of the official presidential turkey pardon from a square-jawed Bill Clinton sound-alike. Reggie snuggles in for the good life of pizza (cue the product placement for Chuck E. Cheese’s) and TV at Camp David. But his good time ends when muscle-bound, birdbrained turkey Jake (Woody Harrelson) arrives to haul Reggie off on a mission to travel back in time to the first Thanksgiving to save the world’s turkeys. This is about the point where parents need to think up a very good story for why turkey still plays a central role on many holiday tables, while silently giving gratitude that Canadian Thanksgiving was a month ago. Free Birds will have been forgotten by next week, let alone next year. A trip in a hijacked top-secret government time machine (a wisecracking, egg-shaped contraption voiced by

Scawny and self-aware, turkey Reggie (Owen Wilson) travels back in time to the first Thanksgiving where he meets Jenny (Amy Poehler), a supersmart pretty bird and potential love interest.
At the Star Trek’s George Takei, the best part of Free Birds) dumps Reggie and Jake in 1621 New England just as the first Thanksgiving is about to commence. Nasty Englishman Myles Standish (Colm Meaney, acting more like Snide-
ly Whiplash than Longfellow’s romantic fellow) leads the hunting party from the pilgrims’ fort to top up the larder for the feast. He’s hardly successful. Reggie discovers old-time turkeys were a lot more resourceful than the layabout modern gobblers he knows. Eluding hunters is a turkey trot for them. His lessons about the ways of turkeys past come via Jenny (Amy Poehler), a supersmart pretty bird and potential love interest. She’s the daughter of scowling Chief Broadbeak (Keith David) and sister of Jake’s rival Ranger (director Hayward, who has at least five onscreen voice roles). Kids will coo over the baby turkeys, pastel fluffballs that have Tribble-like effects on Jake. But what’s with the
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown ripoff? A final battle of turkeys versus pilgrims is the kind of manic, ultra-busy, explosion-filled effort that is the preferred way to wrap up a kids’ movie if a huge song-and-dance production number isn’t available. With jokes that focus mainly on Jake clenching his buttocks (plus one scowling Native American in a feathered headdress commenting on angry birds), humour is mostly off the menu for Free Birds. As for the big question of what should replace turkey at Thanksgiving, the fast-food solution the flick proposes is one parents won’t be thankful for, either.
Country triple bill raises the bar for partying BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Get three wild and crazy Canadian country artists together in front of screaming crowds, far from home, and you never know what’s going to happen. That’s the loose premise of the Your Town Throw Down, a triple bill of Jason Blaine, Deric Ruttan and Chad Brownlee that hits Cowboys Bar in Red Deer on Saturday, Nov. 9, as part of a cross-Canada tour. “The idea is it’s an unofficial challenge for all towns to raise the bar on partying higher than the town before,” said Ruttan. But he admitted that could be a tough order for the rest of the country, since the tour starts in the Maritimes, and East Coasters really know how to party. “It’s a pretty subjective thing . . . but it’ll be so much fun. Alberta is always such a fun place to play country music,” said Ruttan, who recorded his last live album at the Calgary Stampede in 2011.
Now he’s got a new CD out called Take the Week Off, which Ruttan recorded with some members of Eric Church’s band. He anticipates fans on the tour will find it “more aggressive and adventurous” than his previous CDs. The title track has already making it to the Top 10 on Canada’s country play lists within seven weeks of being released. “It’s the fastest rising single of my career,” said Ruttan, who’s no stranger to co-touring with other country artists, having done a similar jaunt with Dean Brody and Aaron Lines as part of the CMT Hit List. His Nashville neighbour and fellow Ontario native, Blaine — who shops at the same supermarket as Ruttan and crashed on his couch after first moving to Tennessee (“before my wife helped him find his house,” said Ruttan) — is looking forward to touring with a good friend. Blaine said he’s never done a cotour before, but is looking forward to the extra camaraderie — and having two other guys help take the pressure off on stage. “It’s nice to have somebody else to share the spotlight with.”

Your Town Throw Down — a triple bill featuring Jason Blaine, Deric Ruttan and Chad Brownlee — hits Cowboys Bar in Red Deer on Saturday, Nov. 9. Each of the three artists plans to do a set of their own music, then come out together to sing some songs — and probably share a story or two. “There’s bound to be some spontaneous moments that crop up,” said Blaine — the kind no amount of rehearsing can prepare anyone for. He expects these will likely be the most electrifying and memorable moments for the audience. “It’ll be great. We’re really going to
heat things up . . . .” Blaine’s new album, Everything I Love, which has spawned the single Rock It Country Girl, co-written by Ruttan, debuted in the Top 5 on iTunes. Blaine believes the release is suffused with the kind of raucous energy that fans will see on this tour. “This album most closely reflects my live show, more than any other album.”

Photography exhibit captures private moments BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Observing people who are lost in their own thoughts has become something of an obsession for photographer Arto Djerdjerian. “I always have my camera with me and try to be aware of what’s going on all the time,” said the Lacombe resident, whose Private Moments photo exhibit is on at the Corridor Gallery in the Red Deer Recreation Centre. A lot can go wrong when he’s snapping a picture — the subject can become self-conscious, a passerby can wander into the shot, or the light and
shadow can suddenly change as the sun emerges from behind a cloud. Djerdjerian believes it’s nothing short of “serendipity” when everything goes right. “It’s very, very exciting when you get the right light and the subject matter and the composition and technical parts of the execution are totally working.” The works displayed in the downstairs hall of the Recreation Centre are examples he selected of serendipitous photos that show how interesting people can be when absorbed in their own mental worlds. In Red Cello, a musician is completely focused on the sounds he’s creating
on a one-of-a-kind cello that’s shaped like a rib cage. Djerdjerian said he took that dramatic picture while the band Pulse was playing at an arts reception in St. Albert. He was struck by the vivid blue and hot pink light on the musician’s skin, and the unusual look of his handmade instrument. “It was mesmerizing,” he recalled. The Juggler was taken of a practising street performer in New York City. Djerdjerian was impressed because everything from the tossed clubs, to the juggler’s clothing, to the cement wall behind him are monotonous grey — except for the vivid red of the juggler’s hair and his peachy skin tones. “He was an Irish guy who was flying
to London to apply for a circus job,” recalled Djerdjerian, who noticed the young man’s concentration. “He didn’t pay any attention to what I was doing — which was exactly what I wanted.” Covered Face is another New York photo — this time of an Asian woman as seen through the narrow space between her pulled down hat and the scarf that’s pulled up over her nose. Sleeping Child, of a father holding a toddler, was taken at CrossIron Mills mall, north of Calgary. Djerdjerian recalled being inspired by the size of the father’s large hands, and their ability to show such gentleness.

Spoof a fun commentary on the film biz BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Is Seduced and Abandoned legit? Although it bears the imprimatur of HBO’s parody-averse documentary division, much of the film feels somewhat akin to the work of Christopher Guest or perhaps that of a couple of very well-connected Borats. The productively nutso film director James Toback and the predictably talky actor Alec Baldwin are in cahoots here, jetting off with a camera crew to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. They’ve come to pitch deep-pocketed investors on a movie idea they call Last Tango in Tikrit, in homage to Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1972 film Last Tango in Paris, only with the Iraq war as a backdrop and with Baldwin playing the Marlon Brando role. They want to see if they can convince anyone to give them tens of millions of dollars to make it happen. If it’s even partly a put-on, Seduced and Abandoned is nevertheless a fun, larky travel essay and commentary on the film biz, an exquisite wallow in the most rarefied sort of first-world problems. By following Toback and Baldwin on this half-cocked notion, we get to see what Cannes looks like from the A-list viewpoint, along with a history of what the film festival used to be juxtaposed with the publicity circus it’s become. (Baldwin reveals early on that not only has he never been to Cannes, he’s never been to the French Riviera before this.) In a playful act of sabotage, Toback is initially set on ’90s TV ingenue Neve Campbell to star opposite Baldwin (the two men are seen wooing Campbell and essentially promising her the role before they leave for France), but, to no one’s surprise, the investors aren’t thrilled with her marquee value. And while everyone’s being honest, they aren’t exactly thrilled with Baldwin’s, either, at least not in a sexually charged feature film. So Toback and Baldwin dig in for long sessions of schmoozing, gabbing, noshing. They meet up with Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski, Mike Medavoy, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Francis Ford Coppola, among others. To a person, these luminaries are all willing to have a serious conversation about the filmmaking craft, but the more earnestly they talk, the more it seems like they’re the victims of a prank. Things get more awkward when Toback and Baldwin make their pitches to younger, hotter movie actors to see if they might like to star in Last Tango in Tikrit. In media-day mode, Jessica Chastain takes time for a confused, if effusive, quickie conversation about her approach to acting, while an unflappable Ryan Gosling seems to get the meta-joke exactly, if there’s a joke here to be had. There are a lot of jokes to be had. Toback and Baldwin are well-practised at riffs and ironic attempts at self-deprecation, even aboard yachts. No one loves to hear the sound of his own voice more than Alec Baldwin, and no one should love to hear the sound of his own voice more than Alec Baldwin.

Fear for the future of rock-and-roll
STORIES FROM PAGE D1 neck isn’t so much looking at Djerdjerian “as looking right through you.” The photographer noticed this stranger because of the way he moved and spoke. “The light was also pretty nice. It was at the golden hour, reflecting off the buildings and the texture of his skin,” recalled Djerdjerian. The 62-year-old Cairo native of Armenian heritage emigrated to Montreal with his family at age 10. He remembers becoming enthralled with photography from the age of 16 — about a year after his father died prematurely of a heart attack. At the time, he said his family was so poor he had to earn the fee for his photography classes by cleaning the building where the classes were held. Djerdjerian eventually became a commercial photographer, specializing in architectural and horse pictures. He also teaches photography through the City of Red Deer’s Culture Services Department.

ARCADE FIRE’S NEW ALBUM IS SQUARE, SEXLESS, DEEPLY UNSTYLISH AND PAINFULLY OBVIOUS BY CHRIS RICHARDS ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Look, I’m sure they’re very nice people, but on their fourth album, Reflektor, Arcade Fire still sound like gigantic dorks with boring sex lives. After winning a Grammy for album of the year in 2011, they’re still the biggest rock band on the block, still making music mysteriously devoid of wit, subtlety and danger. And now, they’re really into bongo drums, too. We should all be repulsed. Only partially because of the bongos. Mostly because this is rock music that lazily presumes life on the digital plane has made us so numb, so unable to feel for ourselves, that the only way to reach our hearts is by applying a pneumatic hammer to our classic rock pleasure centers. Bowie! Springsteen! Talking Heads! Blam-blam-blam! Bludgeoning and vacant, Reflektor is an album that both condescends and sells itself short, over and over again, for 76 insufferable minutes. The band’s problems are laid bare early with We Exist, a mid-tempo sulker that initially sounds like Fleetwood Mac trying to moonwalk through Billie Jean in uncomfortable footwear. Frontman Win Butler — still as dreadful a lyricist as ever — tries to correct his charisma deficiency with an affected sneer: “You’re down on your knees, begging us please, praying that we don’t exist.” (Dramatic pause.) “We exist!” They exist! But who are they? After four albums, Arcade Fire are still struggling to present themselves as distinct and compelling human beings. Their anthems feel like cavernous vessels vast enough to stow the most bloated of emotions, but it’s always been on the listener to fill them up.

BRIEF Lady Gaga, Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar, Luke Bryan to perform at American Music Awards NEW YORK — Hold your applause: Lady Gaga will perform at the American Music Awards next month. Dick Clark productions announced Thursday that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Kendrick Lamar and Luke Bryan will also hit the stage for the Nov.
STORY FROM D2
FILM: A futile open letter to Hollywood While he lays on the charm and fritters away a mere fraction of his celebrity capital (what’s in your wallet?), it’s up to Toback to ditch good manners and ask directly for cash commitments. At 95 minutes in length, Seduced and Abandoned stretches the limits of how fascinating it is to watch actors, directors and billionaires blow smoke up
Too frequently on Reflektor, Butler’s lyrics assume a murky us-against-them posture. It’s intended to feel like an insidery group hug, but it only highlights his band’s chronic personality gap. And when co-vocalist Regine Chassagne materializes to play Butler’s vocal foil, she toggles between cheerleadery English and breathy French, because — ooh-la-la — it wraps these bland songs in a thin cloak of cosmopolitan sophistication. Butler is at his most irritating with Normal Person, pulling David Byrne’s oversize blazer out of the closet and asking, “Is anything as strange as a normal person? Is anyone as cruel as a normal person?” You tell us, dude. When a band this massively popular, this risk-averse, this patently un-weird takes heartfelt shots at the “norms,” it’s hard to decide whether to laugh, barf or weep for the future of rock-and-roll itself. Because great art should crack away at what came before, right? This band has spent the past nine years dutifully re-creating it, namely the ponderous grandeur of U2. And on Reflektor, they’ve done it with the help of producer James Murphy, the former LCD Soundsystem frontman whose good taste has now been thrown in question. He has swaddled Reflektor in warm analog synthesizers and stretched it over a bongo-popping grid, doing his best imitation of Brian Eno, the guru behind David Bowie’s Low, Talking Heads’ Remain in Light and U2’s Achtung Baby. But Reflektor isn’t neoclassicism. It’s something conservative pretending to be something bold. It’s Sandra Bullock’s hack dialogue in Gravity. It’s square, sexless, deeply unstylish, painfully obvious rock music. It’s an album with a song called Porno that you could play for your parents. It’s fraud. 24 awards show in Los Angeles. Previously announced performers include Miley Cyrus, One Direction, Imagine Dragons and Florida Georgia Line. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis lead with six nominations, including artist, new artist and single of the year for Thrift Shop. Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake have five nominations each, while Robin Thicke, Rihanna and Florida Georgia Line have four each. Bruno Mars and Imagine Dragons are both up for three awards. The AMAs will air on ABC from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live. Online: http://abc.go.com/shows/americanmusic-awards one another’s derrieres, but this is Cannes, where everyone expects it. I remain unconvinced that the pair was trying to make any movie besides this spoofy documentary. But stripped down to its essential message, Seduced and Abandoned is a futile open letter to Hollywood and a fancy way of expressing the heartbreak we all encounter in our chosen professions — Toback and Baldwin just happened to choose the film industry, which, as Baldwin repeatedly says, is especially crushing. “You are seduced and abandoned over and over again,” he tells one journalist. Such verite moments abound: while Toback and Baldwin beg for money, they also give interviews to the foreign
COUNTRY: ‘Different flavour’ for fans
The most dramatic work in the exhibit, Snow Owl, shows a white owl soaring over the head of a hatted man, who appears caught in his own reverie. Djerdjerian believes there’s something almost surreal about this image. “The owl is like a thought in his head that’s manifesting itself visually.” Out of hundreds of digital photos he snapped of that same wild owl over two days, that one was special because of the blue light and his friend’s pensive expression. “It looked like . . . Mark was in a different world,” said the photographer. Although Djerdjerian does not manipulate the colour or composition of his images, he admitted to manipulating the owl’s behaviour — through the introduction of some feeder mice. “We were shooting that owl . . . while it was hunting. She was just coming around us and she was sweet.” The only subject looking directly at the camera in the exhibit is depicted in Man in Hat. But even in this photo, the black man with beads around his
Brownlee still lives in his native British Columbia instead of Nashville, and hasn’t known Ruttan and Blaine as long as the two artists have known each other. But the singer whose latest album, Love Me or Leave Me, was nominated for a 2013 Juno Award, looks forward to touring with two performers, whom he likes and has done some work with. “It’s always nice to tour with friends.” Having recently co-headlined a national tour with Dallas Smith, Brownlee expects this triple bill to create a “different flavour” for fans. “It should be a bigger impact,” said the singer/ songwriter, who found the hardest aspect was selecting backup musicians to play for all three singers during the Your Town Throw Down. In the end, he, Blaine and Ruttan could chose only a few musicians from their own bands to join them on the cross-Canada triple bill. “At this level, they’re all so good and professional — it was difficult.” But Brownlee described the newly assembled band as “a new team” — and that’s something he can relate to. Although injuries caused Brownlee to pursue a music instead of sports career, the 2003 Vancouver Canucks draft pick said he’ll never be done with hockey. In fact, he’s packing his gear onto the tour bus, saying he never knows when an opportunity will come up to play a pickup game or some shinny. On past tours, Brownlee took part in charitable hockey games and media challenges. While he doesn’t believe Blaine or Ruttan play much hockey, he chuckled that he’d love to see them outside their comfort zones. “I’d like to see them out there!” Tickets to the 7 p.m. event at Cowboys Bar and Nightclub in Red Deer are $25.25 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre (no minors). lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Watchdog raps spy agency CSIS SHARED INACCURATE, EXAGGERATED INFO ABOUT ABOUSFIAN ABDELRAZIK BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s spy agency inappropriately disclosed personal and classified information about a Montreal man while he was imprisoned in Sudan, says a federal watchdog. In its annual report tabled Thursday, the body that reviews the activities of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service also says CSIS reported inaccurate and exaggerated information to partner agencies about Abousfian Abdelrazik’s case. Abdelrazik, 51, was arrested but not charged during a 2003 visit to see his ailing mother in Sudan. While in Sudanese custody, Abousfian he was interrogated by CSIS Abdelrazik about suspected extremist links. In its report, the Security Intelligence Review Committee found no indication that CSIS had asked Sudanese authorities to arrest or detain Abdelrazik. However, in the months prior to his arrest abroad, CSIS did keep its foreign intelligence allies up to date on fresh information gleaned from the investigation of Abdelrazik, who denies any involvement with terrorism. Abdelrazik claims he was tortured by Sudanese intelligence officials during two periods of detention, but Canada says it knew nothing of the alleged
abuse. He is suing both the federal government and former foreign affairs minister Lawrence Cannon. Abdelrazik’s lawyer, Paul Champ, seized on the review committee’s finding that CSIS made improper disclosures about his client as evidence of federal culpability. “One way or another, this false information provided by CSIS was responsible for Mr Abdelrazik being arrested and tortured by Sudanese authorities, and was used to block him from returning to Canada,” Champ said. “Where is the apology from CSIS or the federal government to my client? Where is the accountability?” The review committee found that Sudanese authorities were under the mistaken impression that Canada, including CSIS, had supported the original decision to arrest and detain Abdelrazik. This confusion might be explained by the fact the case was perceived as “an intelligence issue” — and it remained so in the minds of the Sudanese, the review committee’s report says. Further complicating matters was the fact CSIS and Foreign Affairs — the two Canadian agencies most heavily involved in the case — were sometimes “at odds” with each other in carrying out their consular and intelligence work. Upon learning of Abdelrazik’s detention in Sudan, CSIS “should have been more forthcoming” with Foreign Affairs in regard to what it knew “so as to ensure a more informed and co-ordinated Canadian response to his case,” the committee report adds. Champ said the conclusion reflects a dispute between consular officials at Foreign Affairs, who were

“trying to help Mr. Abdelrazik return to Canada, and CSIS, which wanted him to stay in a Sudanese cell, far from Canadian soil.” CSIS said director Michel Coulombe was unavailable to discuss the report. The review committee found the long-simmering Abdelrazik affair “did raise a number of concerns.” First, while CSIS followed proper authorities in seeking approval to interview Abdelrazik following his initial imprisonment, the committee found “CSIS inappropriately, and in contravention of CSIS policy, disclosed personal and classified information.” Second, in mid-2004, in preparation for Abdelrazik’s possible release, CSIS updated government partners on information it possessed — assessments the review committee says “contained exaggerated and inaccurately conveyed information.” Finally, CSIS kept “a significant amount of information” in its operational databases about individuals who were not investigative targets in the probe. Days after Abdelrazik’s second release from prison in July 2006, his name appeared on a United Nations Security Council blacklist that prevented him from flying back to Canada. He was granted haven in the Canadian Embassy in Khartoum, but Canada refused to issue him a travel document to fly home. It subsequently said Abdelrazik must have a valid plane ticket before a passport could be provided. Even though a group of concerned Canadians bought him a ticket, no passport was forthcoming. Abdelrazik, who has four children, finally returned to Montreal in June 2009. That same month, the Federal Court of Canada concluded CSIS was complicit in his 2003 detention.
TRICK OR TREAT
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — A man has been rescued after spending three months in a remote forest during which he survived a bear attack, and wound up emaciated and clinging to life. Police are sharing the improbable story of 44-yearold Marco Lavoie, an experienced hiker who set off on what was supposed to be a two-month excursion on July 16, 2013. Police can’t say exactly when that bear attack occurred. But it’s believed that in mid-August, halfway through his planned trip, the animal attacked his encampment, ate his food, and destroyed his survival gear. Given all his experience in the deep woods, his loved ones simply assumed when he didn’t turn up last month that he’d extended his stay in the Lake Matagami region of northwestern Quebec. But they became increasingly alarmed in recent weeks and called the provincial police on Oct. 21. Police sent out a helicopter to rescue him. The helicopter couldn’t land. So two police officers dropped down, and one carried Lavoie back up on his shoulders. They brought him to hospital. Police say he was rescued just in time. “We believe he might have died in a few more hours — 24 to 48 hours more,” said Sgt. Ronald McInnis, a provincial police spokesman. “He’s in critical condition. He wasn’t even able to drink water when we offered him some. He will be on an IV for several weeks. “He will gradually learn to drink, and then eat, again.” The man had lost much of his body weight and was suffering from hypothermia when he was found: “It’s already been snowing (up there) for two or three weeks. The nights are cold,” McInnis said.

Pumpkins seized by Canada Border Services Agency are shown in a handout photo. Border officials have stumbled upon a different kind of Halloween surprise inside some pumpkins this year. The pumpkins were in a passenger’s luggage at the Montreal airport. And they were stuffed with approximately two kilograms of what is believed to be cocaine.

BRIEF Contested judge already has office at Supreme Court OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada’s newest nominee already has an office amongst his col-
leagues despite the fact that his appointment is being contested in court. Two sources tell The Canadian Press that Marc Nadon has an office at the Supreme Court building in Ottawa, even as his new office neighbours are preparing to judge his case. A third source says the controversy is creating discomfort within the country’s top legal institution. In January, the eight current justices will consider whether Nadon is eligible to occupy the nowvacant ninth spot on the bench. The court had been asked to offer its opinion by the Conservative government, amid an ongoing controversy.
Victim made up story to stay in Canada: defence BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — A young woman whose life in her native Tanzania was marked by poverty and hardship was so desperate to stay in Canada that she fabricated allegations she was tricked into leaving her home and forced into domestic servitude, a defence lawyer told a human trafficking trial Thursday. Mumtaz Ladha, 60, is accused of illegally bringing the woman, who can’t be named, to Canada in August 2008. The Crown alleges Ladha forced the woman to work long hours as an unpaid housekeeper in her home in West Vancouver. Defence lawyer Eric Gottardi said Ladha brought the woman to Canada for what was supposed to be a brief visit as a travel companion and to help in case Ladha fell ill. The woman had worked at a salon Ladha owned in Tanzania and worked as Ladha’s housekeeper. As the trip drew to an end in early 2009, said Gottardi, the woman asked Ladha for assistance to stay in Canada.
