Co-op membership and a newspaper subscription have paid massive dividends for a Red Deer couple. Their big challenge will be how to divvy up the prize — a $3,000 gift card for Central Alberta Co-op stores. Glenda Stoller’s name was the last drawn from the 12 finalists in the 2013 Great Grocery Giveaway, an annual contest put on by Central Alberta Co-op and Red Deer Advocate. Offered a grand prize of $1,500, entrants were told that their prize would double if the winners were Advocate subscribers — and they were, publisher Fred Gorman told the finalists gathered at Deer Park Co-op in Red Deer for the draw on Saturday morning.

Wreaths were laid in honour of those whose lives were lost at war during the Remembrance Day service at the Red Deer Arena on Monday.
BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Attendance was up by an estimated 20 per cent at the 30th edition of Agri-Trade, which wrapped up on Saturday, says the show’s general manager. Dianne Smirl, who has taken the reins from founding manager Patrick Kennedy, said on Sunday that she won’t have any precise numbers until next month, after figures have been audited. Unofficially, however, numbers are stronger than last year, when about 40,000 people passed through the turnstiles at Red Deer’s Westerner Park, occupied entirely by Agri-Trade during the four days of the show. Those numbers may have been higher, but attendance last year was affected by a bad storm on the first two days, said Smirl. Changes to this year’s show, including moving the former Home Happenings section out of the Salons and replacing it with Market Place, located in the Harvest Centre, did affect traffic for those exhibitors, she said. Calgary-based Peter Tsai, who sells Panasonic massage chairs, said traffic at his booth was down by 50 per cent from previous years. However, Tsai anticipates that more people will attend the Market Place as they become accustomed to the change. He said better signage would have helped. Smirl said people will need a couple of years to get used to the move. Elnora-area farmer Jim Wood, now in his second term as mayor of Red Deer County, said while cruis-

Disaster relief team off to the Philippines
TRUCKS COLLIDE ON HWY 53
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The leading edge of Canada’s Disaster Assistance Response Team is on its way to the Philippines to help the devastated island nation deal with the daunting aftermath of last week’s catastrophic typhoon. A Canadian Forces C-17 TYPHOON SURVIVORS from CFB Trenton is en PLEAD FOR HELP A10 route to the Southeast Asian archipelago, carrying between 35 and 50 members of the team and their gear, Foreign Minister John Baird told a news conference Monday. The full complement of the rapid-response team, known as DART, comprises 200 Canadian Forces personnel and was last deployed following the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January 2010. “The first plane will leave within hours and it will bring personnel and equipment,” Baird said in the House of Commons foyer. “Obviously, due to the scale and the scope (of the disaster), we will be working with our Filipino counterparts to determine what else is required, how many additional resources. Obviously we’ll do all we can.” The DART has four specific areas of specialty: basic medical care, water purification, basic infrastructure repairs such as roads and electricity and streamlining communications systems for aid efforts. Its deployment has become a signature element of Canada’s international relief efforts when catastrophic disaster strikes, such as the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the quake in Pakistan in 2005 and the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster of 2004. The team will work with local authorities, other aid groups and the Philippines armed forces.

CEREMONY: Not enough space for everyone
AGRI-TRADE: Brings millions into the region
War bride Wyn Ledieu, representative for Silver Cross Mother, said while serving sandwiches at the canteen that she felt honoured to step in on behalf of those whose sons and daughters had died for their country. “It’s a privilege and an honour to be able to represent such an important person. It’s got to be very heartbreaking for them,” said Ledieu, who was a teenager during the Second World War. She lived immediately southeast of London in Kent, which lay directly in the path of German bombers. Reflecting on the sacrifices made, she said they were called to fight for the freedoms so many people enjoy today, including freedom of speech, freedom to travel, eat and choose a place to live and freedom from tyranny. Ledieu said it was wonderful to see large numbers of children attend the service, remarking that they will remember taking part and that memory will have meaning for them. Grant MacKay, chairman for the 2013 service, said afterward that it was good to see so many people crowd into the arena, although regretful that there wasn’t enough room for everyone. While there would be more space at the Centrium, it is not available most years because the entire site is occupied by Agri-Trade. Even on those years when the dates do not conflict, the Centrium is not a viable option because it is simply too expensive, said MacKay. The Legion must pay some costs to use the Arena, including wages for the city staff who open the space up for them. But those costs are considerable less than what it they would be at the Centrium, said MacKay. There is also some risk that the annual Musical Remembrance, held on the Sunday before Remembrance Day, may have to be cancelled. Costs are rising at the College Arts Centre, so the Legion may not be able to afford the put the show on in the future, said MacKay. This year’s service will also hold some long lasting memories for some of the cadets who took part. This year, volunteers from the St. John Ambulance rescued and treated 17 youngsters who fainted while on parade during the service. A few of the cadets drop every year, said audio-visual technician Harold Albrecht. He’s seen as many as 21 cadets collapse after attempting to stand at
“Just being here allows you to understand some of the things (the county) is doing,” said Wood. Smirl estimated that Agri-Trade brings about $30 million in spending to the region, not including the trade generated by the various businesses that take part in the show. If that were included, the numbers would probably rise to the hundreds of millions, said Smirl. Agri-Trade and the Westerner are planning to work together on a new economic impact study in about two years, she said. Smirl is also working on a few ideas to help attract more people to the show, including putting exhibitors with similar products together. She said a new logo and a new website are being developed as part of a rebranding scheme, but would offer no hints about what that may involve. Agri-Trade 2014 is scheduled for Nov. 5-8. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Traditions unfold at war memorial BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — In wet snow under grey skies, the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies played out Monday with all their sombre dignity. Thousands crowded around the towering granite arch of the National War Memorial to watch the ritual. It opened with O Canada and then went on through time-honoured traditions. The high, liquid notes of the Last Post rang over the chilly downtown, introducing the minute of silence. The quiet was broken only by the slow tolling of the Peace Tower bells marking the hour, then a piper’s skirled lament. A 21-gun artillery salute boomed out, echoing off the buildings all around and stirring flights of pigeons into the air. Two CF-18 fighter jets and a pair of training aircraft roared overhead in a flypast. There were prayers and the recitation of poet Robert Laurence Binyon’s haunting lines: “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.” Gov. Gen. David Johnston, wearing a naval uniform, presided over the ceremonies, along with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. They placed wreaths at the foot of the memorial, as did Niki Psiharis, the Silver Cross mother. Her youngest son, Sgt. Chris Karigiannis, was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2007. Senior military officers, politicians and members of the diplomatic corps, veterans groups and others also laid wreaths as a children’s choir sang. Afterward, hundreds of people pressed forward to place their poppies on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, forming a crimson shroud on the grey granite. They then gathered along the roadside to applaud as soldiers and veterans marched past. The Ottawa ceremony came as Canadians from

It’s a Remembrance Day for which Canada still has large numbers of troops deployed in harm’s way. Canadian soldiers on a training mission in Afghanistan held their own quiet service in Kabul, likely the last, as the remainder are scheduled to come home in the spring.
That will end a long Afghan deployment in which 158 soldiers were killed. Col. John Valtonan, who participated in the ceremony, said he knew six of those dead over the years. “Everybody will have their own sense of responsibility and do with what they can to make sure the names aren’t forgotten, the stories aren’t forgotten and the work they’ve done isn’t forgotten,” he said.

Toronto mayor dogged by controversy at ceremony
“Their gift to us is a separate and distinct country on this continent ... our country Canada, the best country in the world,” the prime minister said to applause and scattered cheers from the spectators. The miserable conditions were similar to those at play 200 years ago. U.S. troops near Cornwall purportedly burned fence posts on the eve of the battle to stay warm during cold, wet weather. Harper, for his part, was sheltered under an umbrella for the first few moments of Monday’s event, but soon ditched it to brave the elements along with the rest of the crowd. In his brief remarks, he recalled the small group of defenders who beat back the Americans. “Today the Americans are our greatest friends and strongest allies and have been for decades, through thick and thin,” he said. Two hundred years ago, however, the British and Canadian forces were out-numbered almost three to one at Crysler’s Farm, he said. “Yet they won here a great and decisive victory, which shows it’s not the size of the army in the fight; often it’s the size of the fight in the army,” said Harper, who headed to Morrisburg after attending the national Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa earlier in the day.
TORONTO — Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford couldn’t escape controversy at a Remembrance Day ceremony Monday, where a veteran refused to shake his hand. Ford gave a short speech honouring the military and there was a quiet smattering of boos and cries of “shame” in the crowd as he walked up to the podium, though there was also light applause. After he laid a wreath at the foot of the cenotaph at Toronto’s Old City, the mayor walked past a row of veterans and at least one refused a hand shake. Tony Smith, who was stationed in Germany after the Second World War, said after the ceremony that Ford should not have been there, given his admission last week that he had smoked crack cocaine. “I didn’t shake his hand because he’s a drug addict, a druggie,” Smith said. “He’s No. 1 man in the city and he’s smoking up and boozing it up. I don’t mind people having a drink. I certainly don’t agree with drugs.” Ford reversed five months of denials last week when he admitted he had smoked crack cocaine, likely in one of his “drunken stupors.”
MORRISBURG, Ont. — Stephen Harper took Remembrance Day back 200 years on Monday to a key battlefield from a war fought decades before Canada was a nation. The prime minister stood on a rainy hill overlooking the St. Lawrence River to once again pay homage to the War of 1812, this time at Crysler’s Farm near Morrisburg, Ont. A field near the farm, underwater since the 1950s thanks to the expansion of the St. Lawrence Seaway, was the site of a military engagement that’s often referred to as “the battle that saved Canada.” On Nov. 11, 1813, British, Canadian and aboriginal forces stopped a much larger American contingency in its so-called St. Lawrence Campaign. The humiliating U.S. defeat prompted the Americans to abandon the campaign and its ultimate goal of capturing Montreal. “These Canadians were ordinary men who did some extraordinary things,” Harper told the crowd of shivering high-school students, soldiers, veterans and War of 1812 re-enactors as they were lashed with an icy rain as it whipped off the St. Lawrence.
Council backs more court facilities have three facilities. I disagree with that, and I’ve told him that.” Foster believes Red Deer’s courthouse, with 16 courtrooms, would run $250 million and should not be held up awaiting two other projects, which would most likely be in Sherwood Park and Fort McMurray. “I think Red Deer is big enough to go all by itself as a separate, 3P project,” said Foster. He plans to get some expert help confirming his estimate, and then approach the justice minister and the provincial treasurer with those figures. Foster said he will discuss his position with Justice Minister Jonathan Denis and Provincial Treasurer Doug Horner during a Progressive Conservative Association annual general meeting and convention in Red Deer on Nov. 22 and 23. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Red Deer’s new mayor and council will continue to support expansion of court facilities serving the region, says Mayor Tara Veer. More than a year has passed since former Mayor Morris Flewwelling, retired Justice Jim Foster and lawyer Brent Handel, president of the Central Alberta Bar Association, began lobbying the province for a bigger courthouse in Red Deer. The group has favoured and received support from city council for a land swap, with the province to build a new courthouse on the site of the former RCMP building and then give the current courthouse to the city for office space. There is no question that Red Deer needs more courtroom space, Veer said on Friday. “Council has identified how critical it is that we not only maintain having our provincial courthouse in our downJoin us as Celebrity Chefs town, but, to the best of our abilities, we faciliMassimo Capra & Michael Bonacini tate the expansion within design and demonstrate prep of our fabulous Gala meal! downtown as well.

Hunting down deadbeats When it comes to cracking down on deadbeat parents, if it’s good enough for Alberta, it’s apparently good enough for Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan government says it’s planning to deny hunting and fishing licences to those who don’t pay promised child and spousal support. The move will emulate a measure already in place RICK in Alberta. ZEMANEK Saskatchewan’s Justice Minister Gordon Wyant introduced legislation recently to amend the Enforcement of Maintenance Orders Act. “These amendments will provide
INSIGHT
another tool to ensure that individuals who owe child support or spousal support will meet their obligations,” Wyant said in a news release. “These options will only be used after several notices and warnings have been given.” He said the measure will be used as a last resort, when other efforts to enforce payment such as wage and federal benefit garnishees, driver’s licence and passport suspensions fail. Does this really make sense? In Alberta and Saskatchewan, hunting and fishing are prominent outdoor pursuits, but they also can be a means of support. Denying parents access to food, or even potential income, runs in the face of a support payment crackdown. Do you want deadbeat parents paying family members their supports or heading to a food bank for a meal? Saskatchewan has one of the highest collection rates for overdue payments in Canada. In the last fiscal year, the province was forced to take action in
collecting more than 91 per cent of payments from delinquent spouses, almost $40 million worth. Various provinces have initiated creative measures in tracking down and cracking down on deadbeat parents, who at times seem to disappear off the face of this planet. The Ontario government is displaying “most-wanted style mug shots” of deadbeat dads on its Good Parents Pay website. British Columbia, like many provinces, goes after wages, bank accounts and other income sources. The province also has powers to seize money from EI payments and tax rebates, place liens on property, withhold drivers’ licences, passports and other federal licences. In Alberta, besides banning hunting and licences to deadbeat parents, this province is going to the courts to seize assets a deadbeat spouse may try to hide by keeping them in a company name. In the Northwest Territories, slack-
ers are reminded that their responsibilities aren’t void if they leave the region. The maintenance program “has reciprocal agreements will all Canadian provinces and territories, all American states, and some foreign countries.” In Nova Scotia, the provincial government can seize lottery winnings, inheritances, insurance settlements, in addition to suspending licences and permits issued under the Wildlife Act. And in the Yukon, authorities aren’t messing around. Its enforcement program can jail the deadbeats. And “time served is a penalty; it does not reduce the amount of support owed,” says that government. This recent snowfall in Alberta and Saskatchewan is ideal for tracking big game. With the new maintenance laws, hunting season is also ideal for tracking deadbeat parents. But it seems unlikely the measure will reward the victims of deadbeat parents. Rick Zemanek is a former Advocate editor.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Trade program poses problems Recent articles in the Advocate and elsewhere about the Comprehensive Economic and trade Agreement between Canada and Europe reported federal government promotion material of its benefits. There are some CETA costs and problems for Canada. CETA disallows provincial and municipal governments from using preferential contracts for local goods and workers. The Trade Justice Network reports “Canadian governments would lose a powerful tool for spurring job creation and economic development.” An Oct. 9 Advocate article outlined how Canada objected to human rights rules in CETA, and similar points were raised in one of the civic election forums Oct. 18. Canada would extend brand name drug patent protection, delaying entry of generics up to two years. Patients or their health plans would have to pay an estimated $1 billion to $2 billion extra per year. Privatization of Canadian water services gets opened up. Research data from the Council of Canadians: “Private water operators charge far higher rates than public operators and cut corners when it comes to source protection.” Then there is the investor-state dispute settlement mechanism (political appointees, not elected.) NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) has a similar tribunal, used more than 30 times, costing more than $160 million, paid by Canadian taxpayers to American corporations for lost profits. CETA favours privatization and public-private partnerships (P3s). European firms hope to build and operate public transport, utilities and health and social services across Canada. Many European communities cancelled unsatisfactory service contracts there, but discovered it is very costly to take back public control. Corporations had to be compensated for infrastructure, equipment and loss of profits. CETA is yet to be ratified by 24 EU countries and
by all Canadian provinces and territories. Parliament hasn’t seen, debated or voted on it. Few provincial and no municipal governments have seen it, leading to more than 40 municipalities, including the City of Red Deer, expressing concerns
about CETA procurement regulations. Ken Collier Treasurer Council of Canadians Red Deer
Getting dirty may be healthy For much of human history we lived close to the natural world. As civilization evolved we became increasingly urbanized, and most of us now live in cities. As we’ve moved away from nature, we’ve seen a decline in other forms of life. Biodiversity is disappearing. The current rate of loss is perhaps as high as 10,000 times the natural rate. The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s 2008 Red List of Threatened Species shows 16,928 plant and animal species are threatened with extinction. This includes a quarter of all mammal species, a third of amphibian species and an eighth of bird species. And that’s only among DAVID those we know about; scienSUZUKI tists say we may have identified just 10 to 15 per cent of existing species. It can be a challenge to communicate why this loss is important. We know species diversity is critical to the healthy functioning of ecosystems that provide services on which humans depend. But could we live with fewer? Some would argue we could do without mosquitoes and other annoying critters. We could keep the ones we want and those that are useful to us. Do we need biodiversity to keep humans healthy? According to an article in Conservation maga-

zine, there is a link between biodiversity and human health. Ilkka Hanski and his colleagues at the University of Helsinki compared allergies of adolescents living in houses surrounded by biodiverse natural areas to those living in landscapes of lawns and concrete. They found people surrounded by a greater diversity of life were themselves covered with a wider range of different kinds of microbes than those in less diverse surroundings. They were also less likely to exhibit allergies. What’s going on? Discussion of the relationship between biodiversity and human health is not new. Many have theorized that our disconnection from nature is leading to a myriad of ailments. Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, says people who spend too little time outdoors experience a range of behavioural problems, which he calls “nature deficit disorder.” It fits with theories of modern ecology, which show systems lacking in biodiversity are less resilient, whether they’re forests or microbial communities in our stomachs or on our skin. Less resilient systems are more subject to invasion by pathogens or invasive species. Hanski studied a region in Finland where few people move far. He randomly selected 118 adolescents in an equal number of homes. Some were in the city and others in woods or on farms. The team collected skin swabs from subjects and then measured the biodiversity of plants around each house. Their data revealed a clear pattern: higher nativeplant diversity appeared to be associated with altered microbial composition on the participants’ skin, which led in turn to lower risk of allergies.

Hanski and his colleagues found that one group of microbes, gammaproteobacteria, appears to be associated both with plant diversity and allergies. And it didn’t matter whether they considered allergies to cats, dogs, horses, birch pollen or timothy grass. People with more diverse kinds of gammaproteobacteria on their bodies were less likely to have allergies. The immune system’s primary role is to distinguish deadly species from beneficial and beneficial from simply innocent. To work effectively, our immune system needs to be “primed” by exposure to a diverse range of organisms at an early age. In this way it learns to distinguish between good, bad and harmless. If not exposed to a wide array of species, it may mistakenly see a harmless pollen grain as something dangerous and trigger an allergic reaction. We also know that bacteria and fungi compete. Fungi are often associated with allergies, and it could be that high diversity of bacteria keeps the fungi in check. A conclusive explanation for Hanski’s observations is not yet available. More research is needed. But we know we evolved in a world full of diverse species and now inhabit one where human activity is altering and destroying an increasing number of plants, animals and habitats. We need to support conservation of natural areas and the diverse forms of life they contain, plant a variety of species in our yards, avoid antibacterial cleaning products and go outside in nature and get dirty – especially kids. Our lives and immune systems will be richer for it. Scientist, author and broadcaster David Suzuki wrote this column with Mara Kerry. Learn more at www.davidsuzuki.org.

Top court hearing on Senate begins today BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A Supreme Court hearing on what it would take to reform or abolish Canada’s Senate is coming in the nick of time for the much-maligned upper house. The arguments advanced by the provinces will be music to senators’ ears, which have been ringing for months with accusations of fraudulent expenses and corruption by four of their own. Long derided as an unelected, unaccountable retirement home for party hacks, flacks and bagmen, the stillraging expenses scandal has prompted even longtime champions of Senate reform, such as Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, to join the campaign to do away with the red chamber entirely. Against that backdrop, the top court’s three-day hearing, which begins Tuesday, will serve as a history lesson, reminding Canadians why the Senate exists and the importance of the role it plays in the country’s federation. The factums filed by the provinces

Relief coming for beleaguered burial fund for impoverished soldiers? OTTAWA — The Harper government may be ready to improve access to a federal fund that gives impoverished ex-soldiers a dignified burial, says a veterans group. The Royal Canadian Legion, which has lobbied to open the Last Post Fund to modern-day veterans, has had meetings with Finance Department officials, including the minister, Jim Flaherty. The group organized a letter-writing campaign asking the government to enrich the fund and loosen the criteria, which largely restricts eligibility to veterans of the Second World War and
do not address the merits of abolition or Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s modest reform proposals, which would impose term limits on senators and create a process for electing them. But the vast majority make the case that the Senate is too fundamental to the functioning of the federation to allow reform without significant provincial approval, or abolition without their unanimous consent. The contention that the Senate was an essential part of the “Confederation bargain” — designed to give equal clout to the small Atlantic provinces and Quebec (Lower Canada) in counterbalance to the dominance of Ontario (Upper Canada) in the elected House of Commons — is a repeated refrain in the provincial factums. “The Senate is an important part of Canada’s federal system and was a key element of the Confederation bargain,” Ontario argues. “It was designed to play a significant role in reflecting regional interests and protecting minority interests.” “The Senate is a constitutionally entrenched national institution which was born out of the essential com-
pact that gave rise to Confederation,” echoes Newfoundland and Labrador. “This was the bargain struck at Confederation,” concurs British Columbia. Indeed, several provinces argue that Canada itself might not have come into being had the Fathers of Confederation not agreed to the creation of a Senate. Ontario, New Brunswick and Newfoundland cite one of the founders of Confederation, George Brown: “Our Lower Canada friends have agreed to give us representation by population in the Lower House, on the express condition that they shall have equality in the Upper House. On no other condition could we have advanced a step.” And New Brunswick maintains the Senate remains “an essential component of our federal form of government” to this day. “The realities of Canadian demographics are such that ’less numerous’ provinces such as New Brunswick must maintain an interest in protecting and strengthening their voices in national affairs. “The protection of sectional and
provincial interests, in addition to the protection of minority interests, is of utmost importance and New Brunswick submits the Senate, based on the principles upon which it was created, has an important role to play in this regard.” The provincial factums also note the Fathers of Confederation deliberately eschewed an elected Senate in the belief that senators appointed for life would be more independent, capable of giving sober second thought to legislation but not having the democratic legitimacy to defy the elected House of Commons willy nilly. As Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, is quoted as saying in several provincial factums: “It must be an independent House, having a free action of its own, for it is only valuable as being a regulating body, calmly considering legislation initiated by the popular branch and preventing any hasty or ill-considered legislation which may come from that body, but it will never set itself in opposition against the deliberate and understood wishes of the people.”
Korean War. Gordon Moore, the Legion’s Dominion Command president, says it’s scandalous the fund had to undertake a private donation drive to bury as many as 29 veterans, whose families were denied support. “We’ve been trying to point this out to (the federal government), and I think somebody has finally turned the light switch on,” Moore said. “What we’re waiting for is them to come back and say this is the process we’re going to go through for those vets who are falling through the cracks.” A spokesman for Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino notes the government has made improvements to the fund, but wouldn’t comment on the talks.

The Bearskin Airlines plane went down just after 6:30 p.m. local time on approach to the Red Lake airport, about 500 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario Provincial Police said. The twin-engine turboprop burst into flames when it hit the ground, and only two people survived, police said. The two pilots — a 25-year-old from Mississauga, west of Toronto, and a 34-year-old from Winnipeg — were
among those killed, police said. Three passengers — a 53-yearold woman, a 53-year-old man and a 64-year-old woman, all from Red Lake — were also killed, but police did not release their names. The survivors were identified as a 29-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman, both from Winnipeg. “The one male was actually the one that called us to report the crash,” said Sgt. Rob McDonough at the provincial police communications centre in Thunder Bay.

Manitoba quietly lifts polar bear restrictions BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Manitoba is being criticized for making it easier to take polar bears from the icy shores of Hudson Bay and place them in captivity. The province — home to the polar bear capital of Churchill — has quietly lifted restrictions that had been in place for 30 years and which only allowed bears under the age of two to be put in zoos. Some scientists are applauding the change. They say climate change is making it increasingly difficult for polar bears as the sea ice they need to hunt seals melts earlier in the spring and forms later in the fall. Confrontations with humans are becoming more frequent as the bears venture closer to civilization. Conservation officials point out zoos
have developed more sophisticated methods to help older polar bears adapt to captivity. Jim Duncan, director of the wildlife branch at Manitoba Conservation, said polar bears that used to be destroyed now can get a second chance at a zoo. “It certainly gives us an opportunity to save some individual polar bears that would otherwise be euthanized,� Duncan said. “It also creates a tremendous research opportunity.� But critics such as Zoocheck Canada say the province is selling out the northern creatures. Zoocheck argues polar bears don’t adjust well to captivity, regardless of age, and there are other ways of helping them deal with climate change besides putting them behind bars. Zoocheck executive director Rob Laidlaw, who helped draw up the original restrictions, suggested Manitoba
has turned back the clock 30 years. He said polar bears are notorious for being one of the most difficult animals to keep in captivity, no matter what modern zoos can offer. The animals suffer from lack of space, lack of environmental complexity and inappropriate climate. “They’re tinkering while Rome burns,� Laidlaw said of the Manitoba government. “These poor polar bears are suffering while they pat themselves on the back for doing wonderful things. This is bad news for polar bears. “Polar bears around the world, including in North America, are still suffering probably more than most animals in captivity.� Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park Zoo has taken in two bears from Churchill since the restriction was lifted — a three-year-old named Storm who attacked a man in September and an
11-month-old orphan. The zoo was already home to two-year-old Hudson, a bear acquired from the Toronto Zoo. The Winnipeg zoo is building a state-of-the-art enclosure that will allow polar bears to roam in a replica tundra. It is also striving to become an international research centre with a focus on how climate change is affecting the iconic mammals. Zoo director Dr. Brian Joseph said lifting the restriction allows bears that have clashed too many times with humans to find a home at the zoo, where they become an important educational tool. “We would like all the polar bears to live in the wild but that’s simply not possible,� he said. “For many years, those bears have just been quietly euthanized. To me, that’s a terrible waste when they can serve to inspire people, especially children.�
Dating website for cheaters calls $20M lawsuit frivolous BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Two separate medical professionals also met with Silva and prescribed “nothing more than rest,� which the company was willing to allow, it said in the statement. “Throughout this lawsuit, Ms. Silva appears to have continued to lead an active life and has shown no side effects from her so-called injury,� the company said.
It alleges Silva posted photos on social media sites that show her on “multiple vacations around the world� and “enjoying herself on a jet ski� — which it calls an “unlikely activity� for someone with damaged wrists. Dollak said his client is “alarmed� that Ashley Madison appears to have accessed her Facebook account without her permission.

TORONTO — A dating website for married people seeking affairs is dismissing a $20-million lawsuit as nothing but a “frivolous� claim by an “opportunistic� ex-employee. Ashley Madison has issued a statement condemning the suit filed by Doriana Silva, who alleges she permanently damaged her wrists typing up fake profiles of women for the site. In the statement, the company says Silva is exaggerating her injuries in order to support demands for compensation that the company said escalated. The company says it will not give in to what it termed “extortion.� It alleged Silva threatened to go to the press if her demands weren’t met. But Silva’s lawyer, Paul Dollak, denied the extortion allegation. “There was never any threat of doing anything other than starting a law-
suit, which one is lawfully entitled to do,� he said in an email. Silva said in her claim that she was asked to create 1,000 phoney profiles to lure men into signing up. In its statement, Ashley Madison said its service is “100 per cent authentic� as described in its terms of use and “we resent any implication otherwise and are certain we will be both vindicated and victorious in court.� Silva, a Brazilian immigrant living in Toronto, alleges she was given three weeks to complete the work for a new Brazilian Ashley Madison site. She says the “enormous amount� of typing strained her wrists but her complaints were ignored by the company. The allegations have not been proven in court and Ashley Madison has not filed a statement of defence. The company said Monday it had arranged at the time to have Silva evaluated and that an independent insurance auditor refused her claim.

An artful dodger who was captured in lore and immortalized in bronze is now iconified on the walls of the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. And so lives on the real-life legend of Francis, a 108-kilogram range hog that bolted from certain death and beat it for the bush while his fellow swine were on their way to becoming sausage and bacon at a Red Deer processing plant. The plucky porker had been hiding out in the bush along the east side of West Park for three months in late September of 1990 when word of his daring escape reached local media and rapidly captured the public’s imagination. Schoolchildren from across the country wrote letters to Red Deer Mayor Bob McGhee, imploring him to have Francis spared from the butcher’s knives. As the days grew shorter and colder, people from across the continent followed local news stories for word of the pig’s plight and wrote letters to local officials, begging that he be rescued and given a good home to live out his years. Others composed songs and poems, singing praises of a homegrown hero. Finally brought down by a series of three tranquilizer darts fired from a rifle, Francis was put in a warm stall under the care of a veterinarian and a local farmer. He was frost bitten, bruised and emaciated. Porcupine quills were embedded in his hide and his body still bore the remnants of previous encounters with cars and coyotes. He slipped quietly away only two days later, on Dec. 1, 1990. A necropsy revealed that Francis had died of peritonitis, the result of a tranquilizer dart piercing his bowel. The letters and tributes continued to flow, including a sympathy card from the staff at an

Currently on exhibit at the Red Deer And District Museum and Art Gallery is a look back to the summer and autumn of 1990 when Francis the Pig escaped from CA Meats in downtown Red Deer and evaded capture for several months. The photos and written artifacts describe the porker’s escape, his capture and the legend of Francis, which has been immortalized in a bronze sculpture that resides in the green space north of the Golden Circle. elementary school in Quebec. Mrs. N. Mason, president of Mercy Volunteers for Animals in Vancouver, wrote a letter to the mayor, decrying the slaughter of pigs for food. “We have no right to treat them like tins of soup. We will put a momorial (sic) of Francis in our next newsletter,” wrote Mason. The breadth of the story came to light at the Red Deer Archives earlier this year, when a bronze statue of Francis — part of the city’s Ghosts series — had to be moved to accommodate construction at its original site, near Gaetz Avenue and 52nd Street. Jillian Staniec, lead archivist for the City of Red Deer, said
the Recreation, Parks and Culture department had come up with a contest, inviting children to figure out where the ham on the lam would find his new home. The statue was to be placed at the Blue Grass Sod Farms spray park, a stone’s throw from the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. Archives staff started contemplating a Francis exhibit while collecting information for the contest, Staniec. Further incentive for an exhibit was developing as archives staff were finding frequent reminders of the legendary escape. “As we were going through our archival records here, and

we’re looking through city documents and community documents, we started seeing Francis just pop up places. We found these amazing documents and we wanted to highlight the full story of Francis,” said Staniec. Under direction of Selena Percy, archives staff pulled up the material to create the Ham on the Lam exhibit, coined from one of the newspaper articles written about his escape and the adventures that followed. Ham on the Lam, located on walls just outside the archives office, was opened to the public in mid-October. The exhibit will be displayed until Christmas. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate. com

Red Deer Food Bank employee Siobhan Baker prepares a hamper on Friday.
Funding shortfall squeezes food bank BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF A serious funding shortfall is affecting operations and squeezing plans for upgrades at the Red Deer Food Bank. On Friday, executive director Fred Scaife outlined renovation plans, including consolidation of two bays into one and renting out the third bay. Putting the two bays together will enable construction of a commercial kitchen that could serve three purposes. Besides supporting the food bank’s barbecue program, which generates $50,000 a year, the kitchen could be used as a teaching facility. Scaife visions bringing clients into the kitchen to learn how to cook for themselves and also hopes to set up a pre-employment training program for people interested in work in the food industry. Barb Barber, executive director of the Women’s Outreach Centre, has played a huge role in developing the concept, said Scaife. The two of them spoke often about the prospect of being
able to run a pre-employment program for the food industry, he said. However, the entire project is being developed at a time when the food bank is scratching to meet its own bills. “I’ve said before, over the years, I can’t get our truck to run on macaroni and cheese — no matter how hard I try.” Scaife said he has idea why donations have fallen off on the cash side. “If we’re not doing well, I usually know why we’re not doing well. I look out there right now and I’m absolutely baffled.” While no staff have lost their jobs, Scaife said he has had to eliminate overtime, so he and the other five people on the payroll are volunteering their time for events that take place outside of business hours. “We have these great plans that are going to run in the order of $300,000, and we’re $250,000 short on our regular budget,” said Scaife. “But I’ve been here a long time and I have absolute faith in our community. Red Deer, the community, the people and the organizations in this city
have never let us down.” Regardless of shortfalls on the operating side, Scaife and the board of governors will move forward with the design phase of their new kitchen. They meet later this week with architects and a building consultant. Once the plans have been finalized on paper, the food bank will approach the provincial government for grants to help with the work. Additional grants will be sought from the federal government to help support the training program that Scaife said has been in the back of his mind for many years. The third bay, which will no longer be needed, can then be rented out. Scaife said he has already lined up a deal with the Women’s Outreach, which will use the bay for a furniture program that takes too much space at its Taylor Drive site. Scaife described the pending deal is an example of efforts local charities make to help each other. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate. com

Investigators from four RCMP detachments have broken up a theft ring alleged to have been operating from Rocky Mountain House to Three Hills. In a press statement released on Friday, senior members of the Olds and Sundre detachments describe an investigation that included raids on a home in Olds, a motel in Sundre and a rural property near Olds. The raids were a result of an ongoing investigation that started with a traffic stop in Sundre on Oct. 28. Sundre RCMP allege that the vehicle, reported stolen in Olds, was loaded with stolen property including tools, electronics and copper wire. A search of a motel room in Sundre two days later recovered additional items, leading Olds and Three Hills RCMP to a rural property near Olds. Investigators allege finding various items there that had been stolen from businesses in Olds and Innisfail. Fruther investigation led police to a home at 5129 - 51 St. in Olds on Friday. Fire fighters were called to the scene to deal with air quality issues in the building, but police did not identify the cause for their concern. Police allege that a search of the building and garage recovered $30,000 - $40,000 worth stolen property, including tires, stereo equipment, tools, power tools, gardening tools, gardening chemicals and a firearm. The recovered items had been reported stolen from businesses in Sundre, Innisfail and Rocky Mountain House. The investigation continues, with two suspects arrested in Sundre now in custody. Jason Furlong, 29 and Kevin Leischner, 42, face multiple counts of theft, possession of stolen property, possession of break-in tools and obstructing police. Additional suspects have been arrested and police anticipate laying further charges.

Flaherty looking at surplus FALL ECONOMIC UPDATE COMING TODAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS After one of the more disappointing years in the current recovery cycle, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is expected to offer some positive news for a change when he issues the government’s fall economic update this afternoon. Unlike last year’s update which went down like a spoonful of cod-liver oil — tastes awful, but good for you — Flaherty has signalled he expects to report a better-than-projected deficit this fiscal year and a bigger surplus in 2015. As it turned out, last year’s doom and gloom update, with its warning of a $6 billion hole in revenue intake and elevated global risks, never did pan out.

ber that will make the balance budget aim by 2015 very achievable,” said CIBC deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal, who was in the economists’ meeting with Flaherty. Flaherty, who will be issuing the update at a speech to the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, is expected to continue stressing the fragility of the recovery and global risks. But the fact remains that in the midst of the weakest growth year since the recession, fortune appears to be turning his way. The global economic terrain looks far more tranquil this November than it did 12 months ago, or even at the time of the March budget. Still, the Harper government is committed to a stance of frugality.
ROMANIAN GOLD
Canadian mine rejected BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUCHAREST, Romania — Stock in Gabriel Resources Ltd. (TSX:GBU) plunged almost 11 per cent Monday after the Romanian government announced it would not allow the Canadian company to develop what would have been Europe’s biggest open gold mine. The announcement by Prime Minister Victor Ponta came shortly before a parliamentary commission voted down a bill that would have permitted the project. The decisions were a boost to environmental advocates and come after 14 years of protest and debate about whether the foreign investment and the jobs that would have been created by the mine outweigh the costs to nature. Immediate reaction was muted, with just a few dozen anti-mine activists rallying outside parliament. Jonathan Henry, chief executive of Gabriel Resources, told The Associated Press by telephone that he was waiting to see the commission’s report and declined to offer further comment. On the Toronto Stock Exchange, Gabriel stock closed down 10 cents, or 10.87 per cent, at 82 cents. Analysts say Gabriel Resources, which has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the project, could still devise a new proposal for the mine. Its original plan proposed using cyanide to extract 314 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver in the town of Rosia Montana in northwestern Romania. The plan includes razing four mountains and creating a lake of cyanide. The project appears to have grown increasingly unpopular over time. The commission of lawmakers rejected the bill sent by the government of Prime Minister Victor Ponta with 17 votes against and 2 abstentions. Ponta, meanwhile, announced that his government had changed its mind on the project ahead of the commission vote — a statement that followed weeks of protests over environmental concerns and criticism that Romania would earn too little from the deal. “The ruling coalition intends to reject the project,” Ponta said, adding, however, that the government in principle supports foreign investment in its natural resources. He did not directly say the bill the government sent to the commission was flawed, but Ponta and coalition partner Crin Antonescu said the government intended to adopt broader legislation governing the use of Romania’s mines and other natural resources. In its report, the commission also suggested the need for a better legal framework covering such matters. The panel also recommended the Canadian company’s 1999 licence be declassified and made public.

A construction crane towers over the skyline of Beijing. From the United States to Europe to Japan, central banks are pumping cash into economies and keeping loan rates near record lows. Even fast-growing China has rebounded from an uncharacteristic slump with the help of government money that is poured into projects and made loans easily available from state-owned banks.
Banks still sustaining world’s biggest economies BUT EASY-MONEY POLICIES CARRY RISKS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Five years after a global financial crisis erupted, the world’s biggest economies still need to be propped up. They’re growing and hiring a little faster and creating more jobs, but only with extraordinary aid from central banks or government spending. And economists say major countries may need help for years more. From the United States to Europe to Japan, central banks are pumping cash into economies and keeping loan rates near record lows. Even fast-growing China has rebounded from an uncharacteristic slump with the help of government money that’s poured into projects and made loans easily available from state-owned banks.
For now, thanks in part to the intervention, the world economy is improving. The International Monetary Fund expects global growth to rise to 3.6 per cent in 2014 from 2.9 per cent this year. The improvement “does not mean that a sustainable recovery is on firm footing,” Angel Gurria, secretary-general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, warned last month. He said major economies will need stimulus from “extraordinary monetary policies” to sustain momentum into 2014. Many economists think stimulus will be needed even longer. Yet these policies carry their own risks: Critics, including some of the Fed’s own policymakers, note that the cash the central banks are pumping into the global
financial system flows into stocks, bonds and commodities like oil. Their prices can escalate to unsustainable levels and raise the risks of a market crash. Other analysts warn that the easy-money policies could cause runaway inflation in the future. Here’s a look at how the world’s major economies are faring: UNITED STATES The U.S. economy grew at an unexpectedly solid 2.8 per cent annual pace from July through September, though consumers and businesses slowed their spending. And U.S. employers added a surprising strong 204,000 jobs in October. The Fed has been debating whether hiring is healthy enough to justify slowing its monthly bond purchases.

Canadian investors are a curious bunch, hungry for research and information. Whether making investment decisions and purchases themselves online, or using professional brokers or advisers, they increasingly are using the many resources available to help them make informed investment decisions. Some recent research from BMO Bank of Montreal shows that Canadian investors understand the value of research. But perhaps surprisingly, they still are tending to rely on the more traditional

MARKETS No local market prices on Monday due to the Remembrance Day holidays.
MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed little changed Monday as interest sensitive stocks continued to sell off amid rising U.S. bond yields and retailers declined ahead of earnings reports later in the week. The S&P/TSX composite index slipped 19.94 points to 13,358.39 amid generally lacklustre trading and lower than usual volumes as banks, many businesses and the bond market closed for Remembrance Day. On international markets, the Canadian dollar was up 0.06 of a cent at 95.5 cents US late in the afternoon. U.S. indexes made slight headway with the Dow Jones industrials ahead 21.32 points to a another record high of 15,783.1, the Nasdaq gained 0.56 of a point to 3,919.79 and the S&P 500 index was up 1.28 points at 1,771.89. North American markets had racked up a solid gain Friday in the wake of a much stronger than expected American jobs reports for October while other data showed third-quarter U.S. economic growth came in higher than expected. The report raised concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve could start cutting back on its monthly US$85 billion of bond purchases as early as the end of next month. That is why the major economic event of the week likely occurs Thursday when the U.S. Senate banking committee will quiz Janet Yellen, President Barack Obama’s candidate to become the next chair of the central bank. Yellen has a reputation for being a dove as far as stimulus is concerned and traders will be listening for any hints as to whether she thinks the economy is strong enough to start tapering a key stimulus measure that has supported a strong rally on many stock markets. Interest rate sensitive sectors led TSX decliners. Telecoms and particularly utilities have been under pressure as U.S. bond yields have moved up sharply on Fed tapering speculation with the
key U.S. 10-year Treasury standing at Friday’s level of 2.75 per cent, which was up 0.15 of a point from the previous session. The U.S. bond market was closed Monday for Veterans Day. The telecom sector was down 0.62 per cent with BCE down 42 cents to $45.94. The utilities sector lost 0.46 per cent as Atlantic Power (TSX:ATP) fell nine cents to $3.96 while Algonquin Power & Utilities gave back nine cents to $6.56. The consumer staples sector was also a weight with shares in home improvement retailer Rona (TSX:RON), which posts quarterly earnings Tuesday, down 19 cents to $12.01. Elsewhere in the sector, grocer Metro (TSX:MRU), which reports Wednesday, fell $1.15 to $65.22. The energy sector dropped 0.4 per cent as the December crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange erased early losses to move up 54 cents to US$95.14 a barrel. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) shed 52 cents to C$32.51. The base metals sector gave back 0.34 per cent with December copper up one cent to US$3.26 a pound. Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) shed 30 cents to C$28.07. The gold sector was slightly lower as December bullion was down $3.50 to US$1,281.10 an ounce. Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM) faded 62 cents to C$30.06. Gold stocks and bullion prices have been under renewed pressure amid increasing speculation that the Fed is set to back off on its asset purchases, which has in turn pushed the greenback higher. The tech sector led advancers amid acquisition activity between two major telecom equipment companies. Telecom Mitel Networks Corp. (TSX:MNW) will acquire Aastra Technologies Ltd. (TSX:AAH) in a stock and cash deal valued at about $400 million. The combined company would have about US$1.1 billion of total revenue, with a global customer base and an opportunity to tap into demand for equipment that supports cloud computing.

MEDIA: Traditional media remains most trustworthy More than two-thirds find TV news and business news shows the most trustworthy, more than half find print and online editions of newspapers and magazines trustworthy, and 48 per cent find radio trustworthy. This compares to only 21 per cent who find blogs trustworthy, followed by Linkedin (20 per cent), Facebook (13 per cent) and Twitter (12 per cent). Information and research is particularly important to the growing legion of Canadians who are taking control of their finances and investments online. The value of do-it-yourself investments in Canada is now estimated to be about $200 billion, and growing. A recent BMO InvestorLine (BMOIL) study found that two-thirds of Canadians say they are likely to be investing online in the next five years. Many of those are younger Canadians, with 81 per cent between the ages of 18 and 34 seeing themselves investing online in the next five years. Investors of all ages considering investing online should do their research before choosing an online brokerage. BMO suggests researching online brokerages in advance to determine the range of services, such as resources, tools, the user interface and stock screeners. Look for brokerages that offer a wide range of tools and resources that also can help new investors learn about the world of online investing through demonstrations, seminars, webcasts, tutorials, analysts’ reports and newsletters. “Some brokerages would probably tell you that their clients use their data more than most firms, instead of traditional resources,” said Glenn Lacoste, president of Surviscor. “I would caution that each broker would love to think that the vast amount of money they spend on one-up, better-than-thenext-guy resources makes sense, but I would agree more with the BMOIL approach.” Regardless of how or who does

ECONOMIES: Fed is active Despite the solid October jobs report, most economists think the Fed won’t reduce its bond buying before early next year. Janet Yellen, who faces a confirming hearing this week for her nomination to lead the Fed starting in January, is expected to sustain its low-rate policies. Even at reduced levels, the bond purchases would continue to stimulate the economy by adding money to the financial system and lowering loans rates to encourage borrowing and spending. The Fed’s purchases have helped offset U.S. government spending cuts. Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, thinks the U.S. economy will be strong enough to manage without any help from Fed bond purchases by the end of 2014. He sees the Fed raising short-term rates, which it’s kept at a record low near zero since late 2008, sometime in 2015. But weaning the U.S. economy off Fed support, he says, is “tricky ... If you do it too slowly, you could ignite inflation. If you do it too quickly, you run the risk of killing the recovery.” EUROPE After enduring two recessions since 2009, the 17 countries that use the euro currency are expected to eke out their second straight quarter of growth from July through September. But many economists say the eurozone’s growth might not meet even the feeble 0.3 per cent quarterly pace achieved from April through June. The latest quarterly figure will be announced Thursday.

CPPIB teams up with Australia’s Dexus BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board plans to acquire a half interest in a portfolio of 25 office properties in Australia in a deal valued at AUD$2.8 billion (C$2.74 billion). CPPIB says it is teaming up with Dexus Property Group to acquire all of the outstanding units of Commonwealth Property Office Fund, known as CPA. The deal, reached after the buyers raised their original offer to AUD$1.20 from $1.15 for all the units of CPA, is subject to final adjustments after a four-week period of due diligence and requires unitholder approval. The CPP Investment Board, one of the world’s largest pension funds, invests money not needed by the Canada Pension Plan to pay benefits for some 18 million current retired contributors. CPPIB says it had net assets of C$192.8 billion at Sept. 30, up from C$188.9 billion at the end of the previous quarter.
record 0.25 per cent. It acted after economic reports exposed the weakness of the recovery. Inflation last month was a scant 0.7 per cent. That raised the risk of deflation — a prolonged drop in wages, prices and the value of assets like stocks and homes. The rate cut “signals that the ECB is not prepared to accept the risk that the euro area falls into deflation,” says Jacob Kirkegaard, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “Once prices begin to fall, you start to see consumers and businesses change their behaviour,” Kirkegaard says. “Why should you buy a car today if the price of the car is going to fall tomorrow? Falling into the trap can be very difficult to get out of.” JAPAN Japan’s economic recovery has gained momentum since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office in late 2012. Under “Abenomics,” the government and central bank have injected money into the economy through stimulus spending and rate cutting. The economy grew at a robust 3.8 per cent annual rate from April through June. But economists worry about whether the recovery can be sustained and whether Japan can grow enough to make up in tax revenue what it’s spending on stimulus. Noriko Hama, a professor at Kyoto’s Doshisha University, contends that
New BlackBerry chief gets $88 million package BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS New BlackBerry chairman and interim chief executive John Chen has a large pay package. In addition to a $1 million base salary and $2 million performance bonus, the Waterloo, Ontario, company will give him 13 million BlackBerry restricted share units, worth $85 million based on the current stock price. The former Sybase CEO signed on last week, when the smartphone maker abandoned plans to sell itself. If Chen fails to turn around BlackBerry, he could net far less.
Mitel to buy Aastra Mitel Networks Corp. (TSX:MNW) has a friendly deal to acquire Aastra Technologies Ltd. (TSX:AAH) for about C$400 million in stock and cash, a move that’s calculated to create a stronger Canadian-based competitor in business communications systems. If approved, the deal will result in Aastra shareholders owning about 43 per cent of an enlarged Mitel, to be headquartered in Ottawa, with about US$1.1 billion of total revenue. The merger will move Mitel to the No. 5 spot worldwide in terms of market share. only higher wages and rates will give people the income and confidence they need to spend more and restore the economy’s health. Like the Fed, the Bank of Japan could struggle with how to time and carry out a reversal of its easy money policy once the economy improves or if inflation or asset bubbles emerge as a threat. “They have placed themselves in a very difficult situation indeed,” Hama says. “It’s a double-edged sword.” CHINA China’s economy grew at a twodecade low of 7.5 per cent in the three months that ended in June compared with a year earlier. That’s still a vigorous pace compared with the developed economies of Europe, the United States and Japan. But for China, it marked a slowdown, and Beijing launched a mini-stimulus program, spending on railway construction and other public works. It worked: Growth edged up to 7.8 per cent from July through September from a year earlier. Yet some economists doubt the gains in China will last. “I can’t see the rebound lasting for very much longer, because it has been driven by government projects,” says Mark Williams of Capital Economics. In the latest quarter, more than half the reported growth was due to investment, not trade or consumption.

Typhoon survivors plead for help BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILIPPINES
TACLOBAN, Philippines — Bloated bodies lay uncollected and uncounted in the streets and desperate survivors pleaded for food, water and medicine as rescue workers took on a daunting task Monday in the typhoon-battered islands of the Philippines. Thousands were feared dead. The hard-hit city of Tacloban resembled a garbage dump from the air, with only a few concrete buildings left standing in the wake of one of the most powerful storms to ever hit land, packing 147-mph winds and whipping up 20-foot walls of seawater that tossed ships inland and swept many out to sea. “Help. SOS. We need food,” read a message painted by a survivor in large letters on the ravaged city’s port, where water lapped at the edge. There was no one to carry away the dead, which lay rotting along the main road from the airport to Tacloban, the worst-hit city along the country’s remote eastern seaboard. At a small naval base, eight swollen corpses — including that of a baby — were submerged in water brought in by the storm. Officers had yet to move them, saying they had no body bags or electricity to preserve them. Authorities estimated the typhoon killed 10,000 or more people, but with the slow pace of recovery, the official death toll three days after the storm made landfall remained at 942. However, with shattered communications and transportation links, the final count was likely days away, and presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said “we pray” it does not surpass 10,000. “I don’t believe there is a single structure that is not destroyed or severely damaged in some way — every single building, every single house,” U.S. Marine Brig. Gen. Paul Kennedy said after taking a helicopter flight over Tacloban, the largest city in Leyte province. He spoke on the tarmac at the airport, where two Marine C-130 cargo
stripped malls, shops and homes of food, water and consumer goods. Officials said some of the looting smacked of desperation but in other cases people hauled away TVs, refrigerators, Christmas trees and even a treadmill. An Associated Press reporter said he saw about 400 special forces and soldiers patrolling downtown to guard against further chaos. Brig. Gen. Kennedy said Philippine forces were handling security well and U.S. troops were “looking at how to open up roads and land planes and helicopters” in order to bring in shelter, water and other supplies. Still, those caught in the storm were worried that aid would not arrive soon enough. “We’re afraid that it’s going to get dangerous in town because relief goods are trickling in very slow,” said Bobbie Womack, an American missionary from Athens, Tenn. “I know it’s a massive, massive undertaking to try to feed a town of over 150,000 people. They need to bring in shiploads of food.” Womack’s husband, Larry, said he chose to stay at their beachside home in Tacloban, only to find the storm surge engulfing it. He survived by climbing onto a beam in the roof. “The roof was lifting up and the wind was coming through and there were waves going over my head,” he said. “The sound was loud. It was just incredible.” Marvin Daga, a 19-year-old student, tried to ride out the storm in his home with his ailing father, Mario, but the storm surge carried the building away. They clung to each other while the house floated for a while, but it eventually crumbled and they fell into churning waters. The teen grabbed a coconut tree with one hand and his father with the other, but he slipped out of his grasp. “I hope that he survived,” Marvin said as tears filled his eyes. “But I’m not expecting to find him anymore.”

Survivors move past the damages caused by Typhoon Haiyan in Tacloban city, Leyte province central Philippines on Monday, Nov. 11, 2013. Authorities said at least 2 million people in 41 provinces had been affected by Friday’s disaster and at least 23,000 houses had been damaged or destroyed. planes were parked, engines running, unloading supplies. Authorities said at least 9.7 million people in 41 provinces were affected by the typhoon, known as Haiyan elsewhere in Asia but called Yolanda in the Philippines. It was likely the deadliest natural disaster to beset this poor Southeast Asian nation. “Please tell my family I’m alive,” said Erika Mae Karakot as she stood among a throng of people waiting for aid. “We need water and medicine because a lot of the people we are with are wounded. Some are suffering from diarrhea and dehydration due to shortage of food and water.” Philippine soldiers were distributing food and water, and assessment teams from the United Nations and other international agencies were seen Monday for the first time. The U.S. military dispatched food, water, generators and a contingent of Marines to the city, the first outside help in what will swell into a major
international relief mission. Authorities said they had evacuated some 800,000 people ahead of the typhoon, but many evacuation centres proved to be no protection against the wind and rising water. The Philippine National Red Cross, responsible for warning the region and giving advice, said people were not prepared for a storm surge. “Imagine America, which was prepared and very rich, still had a lot of challenges at the time of Hurricane Katrina, but what we had was three times more than what they received,” said Gwendolyn Pang, the group’s executive director. Emily Ortega, 21 and about to give birth, said she clung to a post to survive after the evacuation centre she fled to was devastated by the 20-foot (6-meter) storm surge. She reached safety at the airport, where she gave birth to a baby girl, Bea Joy Sagales, whose arrival drew applause from the military medics who assisted in the delivery.
The wind, rain and coastal storm surges transformed neighbourhoods into twisted piles of debris, blocking roads and trapping decomposing bodies underneath. Cars and trucks lay upended among flattened homes, and bridges and ports were washed away. “In some cases the devastation has been total,” said Secretary to the Cabinet Rene Almendras. At U.N. climate talks in Warsaw, Poland, the envoy from the Philippines broke down in tears as he described waiting in agony for news from relatives caught in the massive storm’s path. “In solidarity with my countrymen, who are struggling to find food back home ... I will now commence a voluntary fasting for the climate,” said the envoy, Naderev “Yeb” Sano, who urged delegates to work toward “meaningful” change. His emotional appeal was met with a standing ovation. In Tacloban, residents

TORONTO — Health authorities in Saudi Arabia have revealed they have found a camel that has tested positive for the MERS virus. The camel was owned by a Saudi man who came down with the disease. The animal tested positive using a polymerase chain reaction or PCR test, which looks for small bits of the DNA from the virus in specimens such as mucous or saliva. Dr. Ziad Memish, the Saudi deputy minister of health, says additional work is being done to chart the genetic sequence of the virus, which will then be compared to MERS viruses that have infected people. If the finding is confirmed it will mark the first time the MERS coronavirus has been found in an animal. Previous studies have found that camels in various parts of the Middle East carry antibodies that react to the MERS virus, suggesting the animals were previously infected with MERS or a MERS-like virus. And a study on which Memish was an author reported finding a segment of viral RNA in feces from an Egyptian tomb bat that was identical to the corresponding section of the MERS virus. But the fragment was so small other experts said was impossible to say if the full virus would have been identical as well.

“It was still pristine, and yet there was this tension,” she says. Inspired by the blueness of the ancient Arctic ice and by a collapsed mine in an abandoned Russian settlement a few hundred miles from the North Pole, Feuer created Boreal, a sculpture made out of timber, steel and hand-sanded Styrofoam tiles. And after one of her Arctic guides emotionally described the difference in seeing the region via gaspowered snowmobile vs. a quieter, less destructive dog sled, Feuer built a sled out of tar paper she had found in an abandoned mine in nearby Longyearbyen, Norway. The artist says she isn’t trying to push environmentalism, though she does agree that Washington, and particularly the Corcoran, is a very good place to have such conversations. “This is where so many of the very enormous decisions are being made and discussed in regards to the future of energy,” she says. “The discussion on the Keystone XL pipeline is happening across the street.” Feuer recognizes that she — like each of us — is part of the problem. In fact, in her art she uses such petroleum-based materials as Styrofoam, plastic and tar paper. “The whole show is petroleum,” she says. “I’m implicated. I can’t even put up this show and be critical of what they’re doing, because I’m in it.” Mia Feuer: An Unkindness Through Feb. 23 at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington. 202-639-1700. www.corcoran.org.

The Story Behind the Work It took a year and a half of planning before Rink could glide into the Corcoran’s rotunda. Feuer worked with a rink fabricator, and they tested several types of plastic for the black “ice” before finding the perfect one. The 16-by-27-foot rink was delivered to the Corcoran in more than 20 pieces and took a day to assemble. The museum declined to reveal the specific price but said the cost was in the low tens of thousands of dollars. When visitors arrive in the rotunda, they’ll see shelves of hockey skates and masks to their left — a tribute to Feuer’s father, a former goalie — as well as a volunteer wielding a clipboard of legal waivers.
THE TH HEE H
WASHINGTON — While Washington sculptor Mia Feuer was touring the tar sands of northern Alberta in 2011, the most startling thing she noticed was the trees. Not only were they dead, they also were upside down, roots akimbo in the air, and nested with ravens. The upside-down trees were the result of an unnatural chain of events: After petroleum had been extracted from a tar-sands site, the topsoil was put back in place; but nothing could grow in the sickened earth except for wheat, a “remedial” plant thought to purify the dirt. But mice came and ate the wheat. So, as Feuer’s tour guide told her, engineers responsible for reclaiming the land installed the upside-down trees so that birds of prey would come to perch and eat the mice. Problem solved, right? “This one moment, to me, was so heartbreaking, because it felt like I was waiting this whole time for this guy to show me something that would make me feel better — like, ‘Yes, there is an exit strategy to this,’ “ Feuer says. “When I was there that day, he said, ‘Mia, we’ve reclaimed the land; isn’t it beautiful?’ He actually believes that they’ve reclaimed the land.” It was this topsy-turvy landscape of tar and feathers, wheat and trees, and the slick darkness of one of the Earth’s most controversial substances — oil — that inspired 32-year-old Feuer’s exhibition An Unkindness, her meditation on the global petroleum industry as well as her solo debut at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Feuer, a professor of sculpture at George Mason University, is the first local artist to be included in the Corcoran’s NOW series of emerging young artists. An Unkindness, the term for a gathering of ravens, also is the title of Feuer’s ominous, 30-foot-wide sculpture hanging in the Corcoran rotunda. It’s a tangle of scaffolding, pipes and trees covered in tar paper and joined with shredded tires and feathered black wings. The sculpture is lighter than it looks — the pipes and trees are actually made of foam — but the concept is heavy stuff. Feuer became interested in the petroleum industry’s global implications when she was in Egypt for a 2011 residency, watching oil tankers squeeze through the Suez Canal. “I was thinking about what I was looking at and the heaviness of that little man-made artery of water,” Feuer says. “I started thinking about global-oil political issues.” That led her to look to her native Canada, where she charmed her way into a tour of the highly restricted tar sands by chatting up an employee via their mutual interest in art. She grew up in Manitoba, a few provinces east, but found that the tar sands were inextricably linked to everything in Canada — even the arts grants she received from the government. Still, Feuer says, she’s not trying to make a political statement with her art. Rather, she’s reflecting upon her personal experiences visiting sites where oil is extracted and transported. “Even just the word ‘tar sands’ — maybe because I’m a sculptor and I have this relationship to materials, but there was something very material about the word ‘tar sands,’ “ Feuer says. “In my mind it was something I could manipulate.” The inky blackness of the tar, as well as another Canadian influence, extends beneath the sculpture in the rotunda. It is here that Feuer created Rink, a black, ice-less skating rink designed to be used by one visitor at a time. Feuer says she was intrigued by the juxtaposition of an outdoor activity in an art museum and inspired by her memories of solo skating as a child. “Maybe it’s like the Winnipeg version of going for a walk,” she says. “There was this specific sort of emotion that I experienced . . . you’re really able to access these contemplative, quiet thoughts.” Lately, Feuer says she has been thinking about her relationship with the global oil industry, which was underscored when she traveled to the Arctic Circle on an arts grant and pondered the possibility of the region’s being tapped for oil.

B1 Rebels finish trip with a win
BEAT HURRICANES 4-3 BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Rebels 4 Hurricanes 3 The Red Deer Rebels closed out a six-game Western Hockey League road trip Saturday with a break-even 4-3 win over the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Not bad, considering the club was 1-3 heading into the final two contests of the nineday excursion. “Going into any road trip you obviously want to be over .500, but getting three wins on the road was important for us and it will be important for us to build off the last two games we won,” Rebels associate coach Jeff Truitt said Monday,

reflecting also on Fridays’ 3-0 victory over the Kootenay Ice. “Getting wins at Kootenay and Lethbridge hopefully sets us up for a good week of practice and the hunger to stay with it going into the weekend.” The Rebels were in full control at Lethbridge until the final minute of the second period when the ‘Canes struck for two goals to reduce a 4-1 Red Deer lead to a single marker. “They (Hurricanes) had a good push there and we kind of broke down a bit,” said Truitt. On the positive side . . . “Our power play was outstanding, with the puck movement and shot selections and just the hunger and urgency of it all,” said Truitt, in reference to the Rebels’ three-forsix run with a man advantage. “We had a couple of other
breakdowns in the game and Patrik (goaltender Bartosak) stood tall for us. It was a good team win.” The Rebels got first-period goals from captain Conner Bleackley (power play) and Brooks Maxwell, while Josh Derko scored for the Hurricanes. Rebels rookie defenceman Nick Charif notched his first ever WHL goal — on the power play — 5:18 into the middle frame and Rhyse Dieno scored a man-advantage marker just over five minutes later for a 4-1 Red Deer lead. The ‘Canes then got a goal from Jamal Watson at the 19-minute mark and another

Riders set for date with Stampeders ADVANCE TO CFL WEST FINAL WITH 29-25 WIN OVER B.C. LIONS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Roughriders 29 Lions 25 REGINA — Corey Chamblin had seen this all before. Sunday, for the first time, he was able to enjoy it. With the Saskatchewan Roughriders trailing 25-16 after three quarters, quarterback Darian Durant came up with a blast from the past, rushing for 76 of his game-high 97 yards in the final frame to help propel the Riders to a 2925 comeback win over the B.C. Lions in the CFL’s West Division semifinal. The win also advanced Saskatchewan into the Western final for the first time since 2010, where they will face the Calgary Stampeders on Sunday at McMahon Stadium. Chamblin, Saskatchewan’s second-year head coach, was a defensive coach with Calgary in 2009 and 2010 when Durant ran for 29 and 51 yards, respectively, as the Riders beat the Stamps to advance to backto-back Grey Cups. “Darian played like the Darian of old, the one that kept me out of a couple championship games,” said Chamblin. “Darian stepped up to the plate when we needed him. We were struggling in a couple areas and Darian just stood up
and took over.” Durant’s first big run actually came on the final play of the third quarter when he scampered for 15 yards on second-and-nine from the Saskatchewan 50-yard line. Two plays later he did it again, this time going for 35 yards on second-and-10. Two plays after that he threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Weston Dressler for the diminutive slotback’s second score of the game. “I told Coach I thought the quarterback draw was there,” said Durant. “We had them pretty much outnumbered in the box. They were playing coverage a little bit and I felt like it was there. So Coach called my number and I was able to make some plays.” That drive seemed to ignite the Riders’ running game which, to that point, had been virtually non-existent. The Lions had outrun Saskatchewan 162 yards to 35 by halftime. The Riders ran six times for 32 yards on their next possession and took their first lead since the first quarter on a 45-yard field goal from Chris Milo. Durant then added rushes of 28 and 13 yards on Saskatchewan’s final drive of the game and Milo capped the scoring

The Riders beat the Lions 29-25. with a 28-yard field goal, his fifth of the game. He’d missed his first one, from 38 yards, by putting it off the right upright before making five straight. “Better that than have them return it 110 yards for a touchdown,” said Milo. “Uprights are kind of my best friend ... and enemy at the same time. But it is what it is. You just

And having the confidence of the guys on the sideline, ‘Just get the next one, get the next one,’ and sure enough I did and we won the game.” The Riders couldn’t capitalize on strong field position early. On three straight drives they found themselves inside the B.C. 35-yard line but had to
settle for six points, wasting a 55-yard circus catch from Taj Smith and a 56-yard kick return by Jock Sanders. Milo provided all Saskatchewan’s offence until the final three minutes of the half, hitting field goals from 40 and 29 yards while missing off the upright from 38.

The fourth-ranked Lightning played even up with the top-ranked Falcons for the majority of the regional semifinal at Great Chief Park, but eventually fell 15-10 to the visitors. The home side was twice set up with a first-and goal inside the Falcons’ five-yard line and came away with a grand total of three points — off a 17-yard field goal and gameopening score by Skylar Roth early in the second quarter. “We left points on the board and I feel for our Grade 12s,” said Hunting Hills head coach Kyle Sedgwick. “That’s where my heart is now.

those plays for a long time.” Trailing 14-10 in the fourth quarter, the Lightning advanced to the Falcons’ three-yard stripe, but couldn’t move the ball forward from there. In fact, the Lightning lost four yards when the ball carrier slipped while gunning for a touchdown on third down. “The field was OK, but I think both sides were sort of limited a bit because of that,” said Okotoks head coach Darren Olson. “It came down to big plays and our defence twice held them inside our own five-yard line. “That was really what it came down to for us today.” Josh Koshman scored a late firsthalf touchdown for Foothills, taking a pitch from quarterback Hunter Karl and running 19 yards to the end zone, and the visitors upped the count to 14-3 early in the third quarter when Karl hooked up with Garrett Young on a 60-yard pass and run for another major.

Chiefs fail to impress with win over Leafs Chiefs 5 Maple Leafs 2 It didn’t show it on the scoreboard, but Red Deer Optimist Chiefs head coach Doug Quinn wasn’t all that pleased with his troops following a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Maple Leafs at the Arena Sunday afternoon. Quinn spent a significant amount of time talking to his team following the win. “I wasn’t happy with the second half of that game,” he said. “We were playing really well after our trip to North Dakota where we won four straight games and won the tournament. Then we ran into a string of injuries and suspensions and we had problems last week. In fact we were down to two defencemen at one point. “This weekend we had everybody back, but we were a little out of synch. We looked good as anything we’ve seen this season at times then we looked up-
tight and panicky. What I’m looking for is the consistency game in and game out.” Sunday’s game showed exactly what Quinn was talking about as the team stormed out of the gate to take a 4-0 lead in the first period, then let down. “You have those lulls, but as coaches you never like them,” he said. “But really it’s a process and what you’re looking for is to be the top team at the end of the year, not necessarily now. “We’re still learning how to compete and how to sacrifice and work better as a team.” Overall the Chiefs are still a relatively new team with only four returnees from last year’s national championship team. “A lot of the guys are learning how hard they have to work. Every level they move up the guys are bigger and stronger and they need to continue to have that work ethic, which is the only way to survive.” Still the Chiefs are off to a 7-3-2 start to the season and sit third in the South

FOOTBALL: Outstanding effort by Lightning The Lightning replied later in the quarter when quarterback Jarrett Burzak hit Tristan Wattenbarger over the middle and the Hunting Hills receiver ran 51 yards for a touchdown that was converted by Roth. But that was it for the hosts despite their fourthquarter advancement to well inside of the red zone. The Hunting Hills defence was stellar most of the afternoon as the Falcons turned the ball over twice on downs while at the Lightning five- and 18-yard lines. “That’s a good team we faced today and that was the best game our defence has played all year,” said Sedgwick. “Our level of effort was outstanding. I’m getting a little emotional because you get frustrated. I’m not frustrated because I’ll come back and coach next year, but for our Grade 12s . . . we have the ball first and goal inside the five-yard line twice and get three total points. The second time we’re on the three-yard line, we have a pass that’s right there but our guy can’t hang on in the end zone, and then we run a reverse and our guy slips. “To hold them (Falcons) to 15 points when they’ve been averaging many more than that per game with an outstanding quarterback and talented receivers and runners, is a credit to our defence. We can look back at the ‘what ifs’ and that will haunt us for a bit, but we battled right to the end.” While the Falcons are undefeated this season as the top dog in the provincial tier 2 rankings, Olson wasn’t confident of an easy win Saturday. “We knew it was going to be a tough game, no doubt,” he said. “The other team is well-coached and they play tough. We knew coming in we would have to play our best to win and we did . . . maybe our best.” That the Lightning lost a toss-up to the Falcons was proof that the Central zone is closing ground on the southern teams. “We showed we’re a good team today and we showed the province that,” said Sedgwick. “This area has to keep improving at the tier 1 and 2 levels. We battled the No. 1 ranked team, an 11-0 team, and we were inches away from taking the lead, and then who knows? “Central Alberta has come a long way and we have to continue to be a force in our own zone and hopefully provincials as well.” The Falcons will host No. 3 Lethbridge Catholic Central in a provincial semifinal this Saturday. St. Albert Paul Kane and Edmonton Austin O’Brien will meet in the other semifinal. ● The No. 7 Sylvan Lake Lakers will host the sixth-ranked Ardrossan Bisons in a tier 3 semifinal after downing the host St. Paul Lions 30-26 Saturday.

Dumba appeared in his 10th regular-season NHL game with the Minnesota Wild in a 3-2 shootout win over the host Carolina Hurricanes Saturday, which ignited the first year of his three-year entry level contract. Still, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be with the Wild the remainder of the season, since the next key mark is 41 games, which will start the hands moving on his seven-year free-agency clock. “For it to be my 10th game in the position I’m in is nice, but I have to keep building from there and hopefully I get the 20th game and 30th game and so on,” Dumba told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune prior to Saturday’s contest. “You have to give credit where credit is due,” said Truitt. “Matt worked hard and impressed, got into a few games and then into his 10th game, and good for him.

The miss was his fourth time hitting a post this season. Saskatchewan finally found the end zone after a screen pass from Durant to Kory Sheets turned into a 61-yard gain. Dressler outran J.R. LaRose on the next play for a four-yard TD grab to make it 14-13 B.C. B.C. took a 17-16 lead into halftime on precision 13-of-16 passing from Travis Lulay, who only threw four incompletions in all after the game’s opening drive. Lulay, making his first start since Sept. 15, completed passes to seven different receivers, including eight throws of 10 yards or more in the first half alone, to set up a pair of touchdown runs from Stefan Logan. Logan hit paydirt from 14 yards to open the second quarter and from two yards to cap an eight-minute drive later in the quarter. Lions kicker Paul McCallum and Milo traded field goals to end the
half, Milo’s third of the game following a 43-yard pass from Durant to Smith that moved the Riders to the B.C. five. Durant was near-perfect as well, despite a couple close-call throws into double coverage, finishing 19for-23 with 270 yards. He appeared not to be affected by the absence of injured receiver Chris Getzlaf either, connecting four times with Smith who had a game-high 126 yards receiving. Saskatchewan avoided disaster in the third quarter after coming up short on a long third-and-one near midfield when Kory Sheets was tackled short by Adam Bighill. Logan was then held to seven yards on back-toback runs and the Lions could only manage a single on Paul McCallum’s 52-yard punt. Logan had been a key piece of the Lions’ rushing attack that went for 213 yards in the game. Thomas DeMarco scored on a one-yard run to give B.C. a 24-16 lead early in the third quarter. Lulay finished 20-for-26 passing for 211 yards.

CFL: Fourth time hitting post
Division of the Alberta Midget Hockey League. They’re just two points back of the UFA Bisons and four behind the Calgary Royals and have games in hand on both. Red Deer Rebels first-round bantam draft pick, Jeff de Wit, led the Chiefs Sunday with a pair of goals while Brad Makofka, Teagan Kooman and Tyler Steenbergen added single markers. Zachary Smith and Ryan Jevne connected for the Maple Leafs against Red Deer starter Jayden Sittler, who finished with 18 saves. The Chiefs finished with 42 shots on a pair of Edmonton goalies. Hunter Lorenson started and allowed three goals on nine shots before Nikolai Farrus came on at 11:37 of the first period. The Chiefs dropped a 1-0 decision to the North Division leading Leduc Oil Kings at home Saturday. Gordon Ballhorn scored the game’s lone goal on the power play at 7:33 of the third period.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tiquan Underwood (11) is tackled by Miami Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes, left, after a reception during the first half of an NFL football game in Tampa, Fla., Monday.
Buccaneers 22 Dolphins 19 TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay’s status as the NFL’s only winless team didn’t last long. Rookie Mike Glennon threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to tackle Donald Penn and led a long fourth-quarter TD drive to put the Buccaneers ahead for good in a 22-19 victory over the embattled Miami Dolphins on Monday night. Bobby Rainey’s 1-yard run capped an 80-yard drive, and the Bucs held on the final 10 minutes to become the last team in the league to win this season. Jacksonville beat Tennessee on Sunday, leaving Tampa Bay (1-8) as the league’s only winless team entering the game. “It’s good to stand up here after a win,” Bucs coach Greg Schiano said after his team won for only the second time in 15 games dating to last season. “We have to build off this.” Playing for the first time since a bullying scandal, the Dolphins (4-5) started slowly before overcoming an early 15-0 deficit to lead 19-15 heading into the fourth quarter. Ryan Tannehill threw touchdown passes of 6 and 19 yards to Rishard Matthews, but got no help from a running game that was limited to just 2 yards rushing. The Bucs sacked Tannehill twice on Miami’s final possession before Darrelle Revis intercepted Tannehill’s fourth-down desperation throw intended for Mike Wallace with 1:35 remaining. “We have good guys on this team who understand adversity and understand how to handle it,” Tannehill said. “This is a good test. I’m not saying it’s easy. I’m not saying it’s fun to deal with. But I have faith in these guys.” Tampa Bay held fourth-quarter leads in four of its eight losses, losing each time in the final 89 seconds of regulation or overtime. “It had the same feeling going down the stretch,” Schiano said. “But our guys bowed up and made some plays.” Glennon completed 11 of 21 for 139 yards in his sixth pro start. T he third-round draft pick threw his first interception in four games — a span of 159 attempts — to set up a third-quarter field goal that put the Dolphins up 19-15. Tannehill finished 27 of 42 for 229 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The Bucs saluted Hall of Famer Warren Sapp at halftime, retiring his No. 99 jersey and inducting the 1999 NFL defensive player of the year and 2002 Super Bowl champion into the team’s Ring of Honor. The Dolphins had not played since Oct. 31, when they beat Cincinnati 22-20 in overtime to stop a four-game skid. They’ve been the talk of the league for the wrong reasons ever since. The NFL is investigating tackle Jonathan Martin’s allegations of daily harassment by teammates, including suspended guard Richie Incognito. Martin is with his family in California to undergo counselling for emotional issues, and he’ll meet later this week with the league’s special investigator to discuss the allegations. The special investigator will determine whether Incognito harassed Martin, and whether the Dolphins mishandled the matter. Owner Stephen Ross broke his silence on the situation during a news conference before the game at Raymond James Stadium. He said he was appalled by the player’s accusations and plans to meet with Martin on Wednesday at an undisclosed location.
Sweeting, Jacobs each win to advance to Roar of the Rings BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
CANADIAN CURLING TRIALS
KITCHENER, Ont. — Val Sweeting of Edmonton and Brier champion Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie claimed the final two spots at the Roar of the Rings Canadian Curling Trials next month in Winnipeg. Jacobs used a three-point fifth end to propel himself out of 3-2 hole against 2006 Olympic champion Brad Gushue and earn a 7-5 win at the Capital One Road to the Roar pre-trial on Sunday. On the women’s side, Sweeting, holding the hammer in the 10th end, needed a draw to the four-foot ring with her final shot and was on the mark for a 6-4 win against two-time Canadian women’s champion Kelly Scott of Kelowna, B.C. Scott was ready to score two, but Sweeting made the same shot she missed in the ninth end, which gave Scott a steal of one point to make it 5-4. “I knew what too heavy felt like so I obviously didn’t want to throw the same thing,” Sweeting said. “We have the best sweepers there and I knew just throw it close and they would judge it, and that’s exactly what happened.” Scott, however, seemed to have the final end set up with the way she wanted it, making Sweeting attempt a shot she had already failed. “We wanted her to shoot against a couple and probably have her draw. She hadn’t drawn in a
while,” said Scott, who gave up five straight points to Sweeting, including three in the sixth. “But they made every tick, every peel. They didn’t give us much to work with, so that was probably best case.” Scott admitted that her rink of Jeanna Schraeder, Sasha Carter and Sarah Wazney didn’t seem to recover from the two days off that came with having a perfect 4-0 record. She was never on the mark in Saturday’s A-final against Renee Sonnenberg and couldn’t build on a 2-0 lead against Sweeting after two ends. “We just didn’t bring our best the last two games,” she said. “(We were) just chasing a little and never really had our ends set up, and never really dictated the play out there.” Sweeting, who was in a rush to catch a plane out of town, has booked her ticket to Winnipeg as probably the most unknown commodity going into the eight-team trials. “I’m very excited. We’re really happy that all the hard work has all paid off,” Sweeting said of her team of Dana Ferguson, Joanne Courtney and Rachelle Pidherny.
“We played well here and we’re going to look at what we need to keep doing and what we can do better to succeed there.” Jacobs and his squad of Ryan Fry, E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden will join Sweeting in Winnipeg. Through an oft-questioned point system, Jacobs had to go to the pre-trials instead of getting a bye to trials. “We didn’t make it directly in and we had to do this the hard way, and I think being defending Brier champions it wouldn’t be right if we weren’t there, if you think about it,” Jacobs said. His opponent agreed. “Looking back on it, Brad Jacobs deserves to be in the Olympic trials,” said Gushue. “You know, if anybody was going to beat us and go there, it’s good that they did. “As Canadian champions, they should be in the trials in my opinion. They shouldn’t have had to play this game.” Despite losing his 3-2 lead in the fifth end, Gushue and his crew of Brett Gallant, Adam Casey and Geoff Walker kept plugging away and kept the score close, including a steal of a point in the ninth end to make it 5-4. Thoughts of tying the game seemed to get dashed though when Casey’s stone caught some debris on the ice just as he let go of it and kicked away. “It’s just the luck of it,” Gushue said.

Calvillo leaning toward retiring BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Quarterback legend Anthony Calvillo says he is leaning toward retiring. The Canadian Football League’s alltime passing leader said he has not made a final decision, but he will discuss his future with Montreal Alouettes owner Bob Wetenhall on the weekend. It is highly possible his 20-year career is over. “I’m favouring retiring, that’s for sure,” Calvillo said Monday as the Alouettes went through the seasonending ritual of cleaning out their lockers after their 19-16 overtime loss to Hamilton in the East semifinal. “That’s the way I’ve been looking at things.” The 41-year-old has not played since August when he suffered a concussion after a routine hit in the backfield in a game against Saskatchewan. He said the concussion symptoms, mainly a feeling of pressure in his head, have still not gone away completely. “The fact that the concussion has kept me off the field for so many weeks is concerning, but the biggest thing is that I’m still not 100 per cent,” he said. “That’s what bugs me the most. “Now that (the season) is over, I want to step away from football and make sure I really and truly make the right decision, but I am favouring not
playing.” Calvillo has been making the decision on whether to continue from year to year in recent seasons after consulting with his family and Wetenhall. This year it is tougher, because he wants to keep playing but has a strong feeling that he probably shouldn’t. “Of course I want to play, but physically can I keep doing it?” he said. “ That’s what I have to ask myself. “The scary part is that feel I’m not fully healed yet from all the symptoms and I know my threshold has gone down for taking a hit. I’ve learned a lot more about concussions and that’s what scares me the most because it wasn’t a hard hit. It’s a hit I’ve taken many times before.” If he retires, he is looking at going into coaching, but he also wants at least one summer off to spend with his family. And if he coaches, the Los Angeles native wants it to be in Montreal. “This is my home, this is where I want to be, this is where I want to raise my kids,” he said. “So my first objective is to get healthy and try to stay here in Montreal.” He said the desire to coach grew this season when he was unable to play but spent time in team meetings and talking to teammates in the lockerroom. He watched three quartrerbacks prospects, Josh Neiswander, Tanner

Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo speaks to the media after cleaning out his locker, Monday, in Montreal. The Alouettes lost to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the first round of the CFL playoffs. Marsh and Troy Smith, take turns being the starter. Smith, the 2006 Heisman Trophy winner, looks poised to take over next season if Calvillo opts to retire. “I was trying to help out as much as I can while I was hurt and that excited me being there to help an individual grow up and be a success,” Calvillo said. “So coaching has definitely gone higher up in my list.” Calvillo broke into the CFL with the defunct Las Vegas Posse and then
spent three seasons with Hamilton before joining the Alouettes as Tracy Ham’s understudy in 1998. He took over as the starter in 2000. The five-time CFL all-star won three Grey Cups and was named the CFL’s Outstanding player three times. He holds league records of 79,816 passing yards, 455 touchdown passes, 5,892 completions and 9,437 pass attempts. He also holds the single game completions mark with 44, and leads in career Grey Cup passing yards with 2,470.
LeFevour’s TD run earns Ticats semifinal win over Als BY THE CANADIAN PRESS GUELPH, Ont. — With the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ season hanging in the balance, rookie quarterback Dan LeFevour delivered. LeFevour’s two-yard TD run in overtime rallied Hamilton to a thrilling 19-16 win over the Montreal Alouettes in the East Division semifinal Sunday. The six-foot-three, 230-pound LeFevour handled the ball on six of Hamilton’s eight snaps in overtime after Montreal went ahead 16-13 on Sean Whyte’s 34-yard field goal. All were runs — including two successful third-down gambles — and an 11-yard scamper that took the Ticats to the Alouettes’ two-yard line to set up LeFevour’s game-winning TD.
LeFevour’s touchdown secured Hamilton’s first home playoff win since ’01 and prompted teammates to hoist him on to their shoulders, something the former Central Michigan star was uncomfortable with. “I was telling them to put me down actually,” the humble LeFevour said. “This is a team game, shoot, the defence carried us all the way into the fourth quarter. Hank had a great drive going into the wind. “I really feel I was a small piece . . . everyone put in their two cents today.” Ticats head coach Kent Austin had no hesitation putting Hamilton’s season in a rookie’s hands. “The package Dan runs is suited for Dan,” he said. “When you play a defence like this you have to play 12-man
football on offence and by that I mean you have to add your quarterback to the run game otherwise you play 11 against 12. “Dan gives us the ability to run those packages. He’s just a highly competitive, very focused, very unselfish quarterback that is a winner.” The weather was the big story of the game. An Alumni Stadium gathering of 13,320 endured intermittent rain and a biting 45-kilometre an hour wind that gusted up to 66 kilometres throughout, making it feel like -1 C with the windchill. Predictably, both teams struggled with the conditions, committing four turnovers apiece and punting a total of 17 times. At halftime, Montreal led 2-0 but Whyte forced overtime with a 32-yard field goal at 14:55 of the fourth as each
squad came up with big drives into the howling wind. Hamilton surged ahead 1310 on Henry Burris’s 17-yard TD strike to C.J. Gable with 1:04 remaining in the fourth, capping a smart 97-yard, 12-play drive against the wind. In the third, Montreal went ahead 9-6 on Troy Smith’s 29-yard TD strike to Duron Carter at 10:27 to culminate a four-play, 75-yard march. Burris finished 23-of-36 passing for 203 yards with a TD and interception and said the weather conditions made it tough to execute offensively. But he said patience was a key factor on Hamilton’s fourthquarter drive. “Oh man, Mother Nature was not on my side today, it took me a while to get in sync there,” he said. “Our defence did one heck of a job of keeping us in the game and to be
able to make that one drive and get the touchdown to put us in the lead and get us into overtime, that was special. “We were taking what they gave us. They weren’t giving us much downfield so we just kind of chipped away at it. Guys just made plays.” Austin admitted the Ticats pondered going with LeFevour in the fourth but opted to go with the more experienced Burris, 38, who led the CFL in passing this year, his 15th in Canada. “At the end of the day Henry has a lot of experience and has been in these situations before,” Austin said. “We just said we’d empty out and Hank, you’re going to have to find the receivers and understand coverage, which he does. The conference champion will advance to the Grey Cup on Nov. 24 in Regina.
13 baseball free agents turn down qualifying offers ORLANDO, Fla. — Baseball’s annual gathering of general managers began Monday when $14.1 million qualifying offers were turned down by all 13 free agents who received them from their former teams, a group that included Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Napoli and Stephen Drew of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox. Three Yankees also said no thanks: Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Hiroki Kuroda. The others turning down the offers were Atlanta’s Brian McCann, Cincinnati’s Shin-Soo Choo, Cleveland’s Ubaldo Jimenez, Kansas City’s Ervin Santana, St. Louis’ Carlos Beltran, Seattle’s Kendrys Morales and Texas’ Nelson Cruz. “That ought to tell you a little bit about their
expectations,” Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said, predicting the possibility of a bull market. If any of these players sign with a new team, his former club would receive an extra amateur draft pick at the end of the first round next June. All 22 players given qualifying offers have said no during two offseasons under the new system. “When we made the qualifying offers, we did not expect anyone to accept. We would have been happy if any of them did,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. Cashman was an early arrival at the sessions, with some GMs due to check in on Monday night. In addition to early talks with agents and trade feelers, GMs will hold rules discussions, such as whether
there should be any limitations on bowling over catchers. Owners then arrive for their fall meeting on Thursday morning, where expanded instant replay is on the agenda. A baseball official familiar with the deliberations, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said management probably would approve the additional video review by umpires in phases. The go-ahead to spend the funds probably will occur Thursday. Approval of the rules likely would be put off until the January owners’ meeting. For expanded replay to start next season, agreements with the World Umpires Association and Major League Baseball Players Association would have to be reached. “Both parties are working diligently to iron out every possible
scenario that could occur with a replay,” WUA President Joe West said. These meetings usually are the spark for trades and signings later in the off-season. The pace figures to increase during the winter meetings, to be held in nearby Lake Buena Vista from Dec. 9-12. With many clubs seeking top starting pitching, Tampa Bay is expected at some point to trade 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner David Price, who is eligible for free agency after next season. Detroit’s Max Scherzer, favoured to win a Cy Young on Wednesday, also can be a free agent in 12 months and the Tigers may try to gauge what he would bring in return. Texas would consider offers for middle infield-
ers Ian Kinsler and Elvis Andrus to clear a starting spot for Jurickson Profar. After missing the playoffs for just the second time in 19 years, the Yankees figure to be a central figure in the market. Cano, an All-Star second baseman, has been seeking a 10-year deal in excess of $300 million. Resigning Cano is a top pri-
ority, but at some point the Yankees would have to move on. “Those type of players dictate the dance steps,” Cashman said. “So we’ll do the dance as long as we can but, yeah, at some point you can’t do that forever. “But we’re in the very front end of this thing, so the music hasn’t even started yet.”

Kings get better with second win over Clippers BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF
COLLEGE HOCKEY
Kings 5 Clippers 0 PENHOLD — The RDC Kings had a major task ahead of them as they faced the Briercrest Bible College Clippers in Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League action at the Penhold Regional Multiplex Saturday afternoon. After beating the Clippers 111 Friday the Kings had to make sure they didn’t just show up and expect to win. That wasn’t the case. In fact the Kings were better than they were Friday as they played a solid two-way game in recording a 5-0 victory to run their record to 10-4 and move two points back of firstplace SAIT, 10-2-2. “I definitely felt this was a lot tougher than Friday as we had to make sure we didn’t come in with big heads,” said Kings forward Dustin Lebrun, who had a goal and two assists. “They’re a team with some talent and could surprise you. They play harder than their record would indicate and I have a lot of respect for them.” Lebrun knows the Kings need to play well no matter who they face. “It doesn’t matter if we’re playing them or SAIT, we have to keep playing our game and not let our heads get to big. If we do it will come back and bit us sooner or later.” Kings head coach Trevor Keeper liked what he saw from his troops.
“Today’s 5-0 win compared to 11-1 Friday was a better game,” he said. “Defensively we held them to 16 shots and we had 62 shots on goal, but their goaltender (Christian Mueller) played extremely well. This was a more rewarding game. “We talked about not letting any bad habits creep into our game and the guys did a great job. They kept their shifts short. kept competing and did the right things needed to be a consistent team.” Kraymer Barnstable did have to make a couple of excellent saves from in close, but overall the Kings forced the Clippers to the outside. “On Friday we gave them nine good chances from home plate in the second period, but today we forced them outside and Kraymer stopped the ones he had to,” said Keeper. Lebrun was on a new line this weekend with Riley Simpson and Jeff Archibald. “With DJay (McGrath) out with a lower body injury, we were put together and it worked well, there was a lot of chemistry there,” said Lebrun, a native of Coquitlam, B.C. who played junior with the Lloydminster Bobcats. Lebrun likes the challenges of the ACAC and it’s showing as he has nine goals and nine assists in 12 games and is tied for second in league scoring. “It’s a tougher league than junior, but a lot of fun,” he said. “There’s bigger and older guys
and you have to be awake. I’ve had my clock cleaned a couple of times, but that’s fine, it keeps me awake.” One of the difficulties for Lebrun and all the new players just out of junior, is combining school and hockey. “When I signed the commitment to come here I didn’t think of schooling that much, but it’s an important commitment, it should come first,” he said. “It can overwhelm guys, but it’s another challenge. I know it’s been good, in fact I never thought playing here would be this much fun.” Mueller kept the Clippers in the game and despite facing 26 shots in the first period gave up only a goal to Simpson at 19:04. Lebrun made it 2-0 just 25 seconds into the second period and then set up Simpson again at 3:28 on the power play. Riley Point made it 4-0 at 5:27 of the middle stanza and then completed the scoring at 7:10 of the third period on the power play. “Their goalie has been outshot all year and has done a great job of keeping them in their games,” said Keeper. “He’s the guy who got them a point earlier in the season.” The Kings have this week off before meeting Portage College in a home-and-home series Nov. 22 at Penhold and Nov. 23 in Lac La Biche. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Hockey Queens 6 Trojans 2 CALGARY — During her first two years with the RDC Queens Casey Nicholson had failed to score in Alberta Colleges Women’s Hockey League action. Earlier this season she finally notched her first goal, now the third-year defenceman is turning into an offensive juggernaut. Nicholson scored twice and added a pair of assists as the Queens downed the SAIT Trojans 6-2 Saturday. Nicholson now has six points in five games and is second in league scoring. Jayna Kitchen, Skye Fahlman, Jade Petrie and Kaley Renz added single goals while Camille Trautman finished with 20 saves in goal. The Queens had 41 shots against Hannah Brock and Laticia Castillo, who came in for the third period with the score 4-1. “It was an odd win as we were flat at times and played to causally, but at the end of the day we got the job done and scored six times, which was good to see,” said Queens head coach Bob Rutz, whose team has this week off. Volleyball Queens 3 Kodiaks 0 LETHBRIDGE — The RDC Queens ran their record to 6-0 with a 25-21, 25-22, 25-16 win over the Lethbridge Kodiaks Saturday afternoon. “It was a good effort and (setter) Bronwyn Hawkes was our player of the game,” said Queens
head coach Talbot Walton. “She played well Friday and even better Saturday. She did a good job of delivering the ball to the right spot and getting everyone involved in the match. She allowed our left side hitters to get some good swings.” Amber Adolf finished with 14 kills, one stuff block and five digs while Brooke Sutter had six kills, an ace and six digs. Middle Alex Donaghy added five kills, an ace and three blocks while Miranda Dawe came in off the bench to chip in with four kills and a block. Libero Maddi Quinn had 11 digs and Hawkes seven. “Overall it was a good weekend for us and we took a step forward,” said Walton. The Kings won both their weekend games by default as the Kodiaks have been suspended for the rest of the season because of drug allegations. RDC entertains Keyano College Friday and Saturday.

In the second half, Jens tossed a touchdown pass to Simon Gray and ran 38 yards for this third touchdown. Gray added a two-point convert. “Our boys came to play,” said Explosion head coach Fred Knip. “Several times in the last eight minutes they held the Mustangs inside their own 40-yard line.

Struggling Oilers fall BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Chicago 5 Edmonton 4 CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks were sloppy on defence at times Sunday night. The struggling Edmonton Oilers struggled even more in their own zone and it cost them against the defending Stanley Cup champions. Marcus Kruger scored the tiebreaking goal with 8:16 left in the third period, Duncan Keith added a power-play goal 1:55 later and the Blackhawks beat Edmonton 5-4 for their third straight victory. “We’re happy to get wins and get points, but we always want to keep getting better, take positives from every game,” Keith said. Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell also scored for the Blackhawks (12-2-4), who are 6-0-1 in their last seven games. Kruger was alone at the edge of the crease when he took a pass from Ben Smith off the boards, turned and wrapped the puck past Devan Dubnyk to put Chicago ahead 4-3. Keith added his first of the season on a screened shot from the point. It turned out to be the game-winner because Jordan Eberle scored short-handed for the Oilers on a deflection of Nick Schultz’s point shot with 1:28 remaining. “We make a few more mistakes against these guys than we should,” Keith said. “They’re able to capitalize.” Edmonton also got an even-strength goal from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and power-play scores from Nail Yakupov and David Perron, but lost its third straight and fifth in six games. Sam Gagner missed on a second-period penalty shot. Chicago goalie Corey Crawford made 19 saves, while Dubnyk had 31. “Their power play ignited their offence tonight,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “But still, it was one of those games where we stuck with it, which was important, and found a way to win against a team that enjoys playing against us and has some success against us.” The Oilers were 1-1-1 against the Blackhawks last season. “We tend to get out of our game playing against them,” Saad said. “We started slow, but we bounced back and finished the game well.” The Oilers entered with the NHL’s worst goalsagainst average (3.83) after allowing 48 goals in their first 18 games. The Blackhawks came in averaging 3.47 goals, second only to San Jose, and had scored 27 in their last six games.

TORONTO — When Steven Stamkos crashed into the post in Boston on Monday afternoon, the shock waves could be felt all the way to Sochi, Russia. The Tampa Bay Lightning star is out indefinitely with a broken right tibia, an injury that could be a significant blow to Team Canada in its efforts to defend gold at the Olympics. Stamkos was the NHL’s leading scorer at the time of his injury and figured to be a lock to make the team. “Certainly from a Canada perspective, I don’t know of a time frame, but certainly probably going to be questionable if he can play in the Olympics,” said Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland, who’s part of Canada’s management team. “Big loss for Tampa, big loss for our league.” Stamkos lost his balance and crashed into the net during the second period of the Lightning’s 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. He writhed in pain on the ice and appeared to tell a trainer, “It’s broken.” The broken tibia will require surgery to repair. The Lightning did not release a time frame, likely in part because the complexity of the fracture could affect things. Surgery is set for this morning.

le, finishing with a season total of $50,477. Ontario’s Morgan Grant was nipping at his heels all week long, and he finished second in that event, as well as fifth in steer wrestling. So he did pick up his first Canadian High Point championship, as he put the cap on an $82,058 year in Canada. “I remember when I was younger, people kind of had the mentality that cowboys were from Alberta, or out in the west,” recalled Grant. “I remember being little, and having people tell me that I would never compete with the people out here. So yeah, it was kind of my personal mission to show them that they were wrong and I felt like it did that this week. I had just an awesome week.” Bronc rider and steer wrestler Travis Reay of Mayerthorpe earned the all-around championship for 2013, finishing just $76.47 ahead of Bowden’s Ky Marshall for the honor. For the second time in his career, Chad Besplug rode his way to Canada’s bull riding buckle in one of the closest finishes of the CFR. The Claresholm cowboy rode Kesler’s Grand Slam to 87.75 points Sunday, just a notch ahead of the 85.50 logged by Scott Schiffner on Franklin’s State Trooper, with a total of $55,708. That meant he wound up with just $404 more than Schiffner when all was said and done. Tanner Byrne was the only cowboy to cover all six bulls, the second year he’s accomplished such a feat. He capped it off Sunday by winning the final round with an 89 on the bull VJV Slash in the last ride in the bull’s pro career, as he’s being retired by his Ponoka owners. South Dakota’s Lisa Lockhart broke her own CFR earnings record by dashing away with $64,396, en route to her fourth Canadian barrel racing championship. She and her horse Louie were either first or second in five of the six rounds. Big Valley’s Kirsty White was the highest finishing Canadian barrel racer, winning the final day, and earning $18,230 at the CFR. In another family finish, 15-year-old Kagen Schmidt, cousin to team roper Kolton, won his second straight steer riding title. The novice bareback riding honor went to Kody Lamb of Sherwood Park, with Zeke Thurston of Big Valley claiming the novice saddle bronc championship. Both are college students, headed back to class this week. The champion bareback horse was Kesler Rodeo’s Western Star, while Eclypse of Vold Rodeo was named best saddle bronc of the CFR, and Pop Evil of Big Stone Rodeo took the best bull award. Total attendance at the 40th Canadian Finals Rodeo was 88,521.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran and the United States on Monday blamed each other for the failure to reach agreement on a deal to limit Iran’s uranium enrichment in exchange for an easing of Western sanctions. In spite of the accusations, there was some diplomatic progress as Iran promised to offer more information and expanded access to U.N. nuclear inspectors — including more openings at a planned reactor and uranium site. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Iranian envoys had backed away from a wider deal this weekend seeking to ease Western concerns that Tehran could one day develop atomic weapons. Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, countered by criticizing Kerry’s remarks, telling an Iranian TV talk show that the American’s “conflicting statements” damaged confidence in the process, adding that “considerable progress was made” in Geneva. The flurry of announcements and comments showed both the complexities and urgency in trying to move ahead on an accord between Iran and world powers after the talks in Geneva failed to produce a deal. With negotiators set to resume next week, Iranian officials promoted a separate pact reached with the UN nuclear chief Yukiya Amano as a “roadmap” for greater co-operation and transparency, which could move the talks ahead. But the plans do not mention some of the sites most sought by UN teams to probe suspicions of nuclear-related work, notably the Parchin military facility outside Tehran. “It’s an important step forward, but by no means the end of the process,” Amano told The Associated Press in Tehran. “There is still much work to be done.” Western leaders, meanwhile, were keen to display a unified front after reports that France had broken ranks in Geneva and demanded more concessions from Iran on enrichment levels and an under-construction heavy water reactor that produced a greater amount of plutonium byproduct, which could be used in eventual weapons production. Kerry said it was Iran that put the brakes on reaching a first-phase agreement, but gave no details on the Iranian concerns and suggested it was only a matter of time before a formula is found. “There was unity but Iran couldn’t take it,” Kerry said during a stop in Abu Dhabi. He added: “The French signed off on it, we signed off on it.” Kerry told the BBC on Monday that negotiators had been “very, very close . . . extremely close” to reaching a deal with Iran. “I think we were separated by four or five different formulations of a particular concept,” he said. In the BBC interview, Kerry acknowledged “the French have been more vocal about one thing or another.” But he said, “the fact is that we had a unity on Saturday in a proposal put in front of the Iranians. But because of some the changes they felt they had to go back and change it.” Later Monday, Zarif criticized Kerry’s remarks that blamed Iran for lack of a deal when asked about them on an Iranian TV talk show. “Conflicting statements harm the credibility of the one who keeps changing positions and damages confidence. The goal of dialogue is to reduce the lack of trust. Conflicting talk doesn’t give credit to the person saying it,” Zarif said. He said “considerable progress” was made during three days of talks in Geneva but claimed that most of the hours were spent with the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany trying “to resolve differences among themselves.” He said he’s still hopeful a deal will be reached, but insisted any agreement must include the lifting of all Western sanctions against Iran. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the world powers presented a united front to Iran at the weekend talks that failed to reach an accord, and although “some gaps” remained between parties at the talks, “most of those gaps are narrow.” In Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that an overall deal is likely between Iran and world powers, which would undercut Israeli threats to launch military action against Iranian nuclear sites. Yet he hailed the delay as a chance to “achieve a much better deal.” “The target date for this deal is the date on which a good deal will be achieved that will deny Iran a military nuclear capability,” he told Israel’s parliament Monday. For Netanyahu and his backers, however, hopes have all but evaporated that Iran can be forced by negotiators to completely end its ability to make nuclear fuel. It’s now unclear what type of deal would satisfy Israel, which sees a nuclear-armed Iran as a threat to its existence.
