FESTIVE PRIMPING

AQUATICS CENTRE

City ready to take plunge? INFORMATION SESSION DRAWS 100 INTO POOL DEBATE BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF Members of the public filled the room during an information session about the proposed $90 million aquatic centre, which will include an Olympicsized pool, in Red Deer last night. Questions included concerns over parking space, how traffic downtown would be impacted and how the project would help the city’s bid to host the 2019 Canada Winter Games. Staff from the Central Alberta Aquatic Centre committee presented the update at the Black Knight Inn to almost 100 people, noting that “the time is now” for Red Deer to build the 50-metre pool and meet the standards to host provincial and national competitions. Plans for the centre at Red Deer Rotary Recreation Park include 10 50-metre lanes, an adjustable hydraulic floor, a 54 by 24 metre competition tank, a 25 by 15 metre dive tank and bulkheads to divide the pool for multipurposes like water polo, kayaking and scuba diving. There would also be a whirlpool section and Flow Rider, which offers wave simulations ideal for surfing, and numerous sustainability features such as a green roof and a solar wall. The centre would “definitely help” the city’s bid for the Winter Games, said Lyn Radford, committee chairperson. “It would be the first time in the history of the winter games that we could host every sport . . . but we can’t build just for the games, we have to build for the community,” she said. “The need for this stands regardless of the games . . . I think you will find this is a most worthy project for Red Deer,” said John Cuthbertson, committee chair of the Central Alberta Aquatic Centre. A video showcased the strain on Red Deer facilities and how the city is lacking compared to Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray, two cities that have recently completed new aquatic centres complete with 50-metre pools. According to Cuthbertson there are sometimes seven people swimming in one 25-metre lane in Red Deer and over 750 people are on waiting lists for swimming lessons every year.

City buys, demolishes two Woman who homes at risk of instability torched home BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Two properties along Cronquist Drive were purchased by the City of Red Deer for $1.4 million and the houses on them were demolished after a 2012 slope stabilization survey showed the foundations were at risk for becoming unstable. The properties were purchased for $700,000 each using a third-party land appraisal. The city received a $600,000 grant from the province and is budgeting $25,000 each to restore the properties. Unless there is a risk to property or city infrastructure, the City of Red Deer does not actively try to the stop erosion along the riverbanks. “The city did not have any legal responsibility to purchase the properties,” said Paul Goranson, the city’s director of development services. “We facilitated a process to get grant assistance from the province of Alberta to help the impacted owners with the intent to recover any other costs from the resale of the properties.” A few years ago, the city put some restrictions in its land-use bylaw to

prevent development in high escarpment areas that may be vulnerable to erosion along the riverbanks. No other properties that the city is aware of are currently at risk, said Goranson. The city does not go out and look for erosion along the riverbanks. Goranson said the primarily concern is along bridge abutments where there is damage to trails. The city generally fixes the damage right away to prevent any further destruction. “Creeks move,” said Goranson. “Rivers move. They are always eroding the banks, that’s just the way it is. If it is not creating risks for people’s property or our infrastructure there is not a lot we do.” The estimated infrastructure damage from the June flooding is about $400,000 at the River Bend Recreation Area water intake, McKenzie Trails berm and the storm pond and berms at North Highway Connector (at Red Deer River). Goranson said the city has one year to complete the application for flood damage assistance so there may be additional locations identified. Not all of the repairs have been completed. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

under court supervision BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF

A woman who set fire to her house while her family was inside will remain under court supervision for the next two and a half years. The 43-year-old mother of two was arrested on charges of arson and attempted murder after a fire in Bashaw on Dec. 16, 2010. She pleaded guilty in Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday to a single charge of setting fire to an occupied house. Her name is withheld to protect the identities of her children. The guilty plea was tendered after a series of meetings with the Crown, including review of psychiatric assessments during which the woman was discovered to be affected by a significant personality disorder.

Robbery trial starts

CHECKING THE ICE

ACCUSED COMPLAINS ABOUT BEING TREATED LIKE HANNIBAL LECTER BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Witness identification will be central to the trial of a man accused of stealing about $3,100 from a local credit union. Dustin Aaron Clark, 36, who served time for jumping out of the prisoner’s box of a Red Deer courtroom, fleeing the courtroom and attempting to escape the courthouse in February, was frustrated at having to wear handcuffs for the duration of the first day of his trial on Tuesday. He held his hands up showing the court the handcuffs, saying he was being “paraded around like Hannibal Lecter.” Clark faces armed robbery charges in relation to the Sept. 13, 2012, robbery of the northside Servus Credit Union in Taylor Plaza. The four-day trial in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench is before Justice Denny Thomas. Crown Prosecutor Jillian Brown said the occurrence of the robbery is not at issue for this trial, but instead it is a matter of witness identification and if a firearm was used in the robbery. Six Crown witnesses were called Tuesday, all members of the Red Deer RCMP. They established how they came to suspect Clark in the investigation and how using photo packs — a series of 10 head shots — were used to identify the suspect. Const. Erin Clowery said he had met Clark prior to the September investigation into the bank robbery about a month prior when Clark was accused of shoplifting at Bower Mall. Clowery found no evidence or any allegedly stolen items on Clark and did not charge him, instead transporting him downtown. During the car ride Clowery said Clark told him his nickname was ‘Lips,’ (due to a distinguishing feature) and he had done time previously for armed robbery in British Columbia. During the investigations into both the Servus Credit Union robbery and a separate robbery of a TD Bank branch in Red Deer, witnesses had identified the suspect as going by the nickname ‘Lips.’ Const. Dale Kentz testified that the media release which included a picture of the suspect from the Servus security cameras led to people telling the police the suspect was known as Lips. Clowery made the connection to Clark, who was already in cells on a separate matter. Several witnesses were asked to look at a photo pack, which was developed by Const. Heather Manning. She said the other faces she chose to include where done so because of similar features, including lips and hair-style as well as gender, age and skin tone. During his cross-examinations, defence counsel Andrew Phypers focused his questions by asking Manning and Kentz about how the photo pack was developed and if steps were taken to ensure the other people in the pack, which was designed to present similar looking faces, had been cleared of the crime. Kentz said they had not, but at no time were any of the other people in the photo packs considered suspects in the investigation. The trial resumes today. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Making their rounds though the city, a crew from the City of Red Deer Parks and Recreation Dept. check the condition of the ice on the pond in Westlake on Tuesday. What they are finding is not encouraging. The heavy snow that has fallen over the past weekend has created a blanket of insulation that will keep the pond underneath from freezing quickly. Currently, there are two layers of ice on many of the ponds in the city with a layer of water between them, said the crew. An ice thickness of about 15 cm was recorded in some areas. At least 30 cm of ice is needed to support the machinery used to clear the snow from the ponds.

POOL: Awesome opportunity While Red Deer does have four pools, the space for aquatics and the number of lanes available in those pools doesn’t add up when it compares to the city’s consistently growing population, he said. Red Deer’s current population results in about 5,327 people per swimming lane given the current facilities. There are 2,728 people per lane in Medicine Hat and 2,293 people per lane in Grande Prairie. With the proposed aquatic centre, that number would be reduced by at least half, said Brian Gallaway, public relations chair of the committee. The $90 million price tag is also subject to change, said committee members, as it was the original estimate and included plans for a splash park which has since been built. Maureen Klassen and Shirley Simpson are two swimmers who attended the meeting and were impressed with what they heard. “It’s an awesome opportunity,” said Simpson. “I depend on it everyday . . . I was in the Dawe Centre on Nov. 11 and it was just packed. We need this facility. . . “ It’s important to remember the homeless are dependent of these facilities as well because they use them for the showers and to escape the vulnerability of the streets, weather.” Red Deer city council plan to discuss the Central Alberta Aquatic Centre on Nov. 26 after Councillors Paul Harris and Lynne Mulder introduced a motion

ARSON: Responds well to therapy Judge Gordon Deck heard that the woman had obeyed all release conditions and responded well to therapy since being granted bail in February 2011 and taken to a ranch near Irricana, under close supervision of the couple who own the property. Court heard that assessments of her mental health status indicated that her risk to reoffend is low, that her husband is supportive and they hope to reunite as a family. After hearing submissions from Crown prosecutor Jason Snider and defence counsel Brian Beresh, Deck agreed that a conditional sentence followed by a period of probation would be appropriate. The 18-month conditional sentence includes house arrest for the first year and a curfew for the remaining six months. Deck ordered that she serve one year of probation following the conditional sentence to ensure that she continues to attend counselling and take any therapy her probation officer feels necessary. She is to remain living at the ranch for now and will be allowed supervised visits with her husband and children. Her sentence supervisor may allow her to move back into her own home later on, with her husband and parents to take responsibility for her actions. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

According to Manitoba law, students in daycares and nurseries must have meals with all four food groups. If not, the daycare has to offer a suitable alternative to the child. Bartkiw got out of the fine by explaining to daycare staff that the potato is a starch meant to take the place of the grain.

Mountie admits he mishandled 911 call BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — An RCMP officer admits he should have handled differently the case of a northern Alberta woman who called 911 before she was stabbed to death by her boyfriend. Const. Devon Bateman told a fatality inquiry Tuesday that mistakes and misunderstandings started with the operator who took an emergency call from Brenda Moreside in High Prairie in February 2005. Court previously heard that the operator wrongly labelled Moreside’s complaint as vandalism instead of domestic violence. A supervisor also testified that the operator was condescending and unprofessional in handling the call. Bateman said the operator failed to pass on important information to him about the call, including that Moreside wanted police to hurry because her drunken boyfriend was pushing on a door she was holding. The officer said

he believed Moreside was simply complaining about a broken window when he phoned to talk with her. He told the 44-year-old woman that her boyfriend couldn’t be arrested for breaking a window in their home. Moreside urged Bateman to come deal with her boyfriend, but the officer said he had no authority to remove the man from his own house. Bateman said Moreside responded: “Are you going to wait until he kills me until you come?” He said it was the first mention of violence and he asked the woman if she was concerned for her safety. She said no. “I just don’t want to deal with him. Can you come and put him in the drunk tank for the night?” Bateman repeated to Moreside that he couldn’t take her boyfriend away and the woman abruptly hung up. Twelve days later, acting on a tip, police found Moreside dead. She was lying in her bloody pyjamas near the door of her home. Stanley Willier later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and

was sentenced to 13 ½ years. Bateman told court that because of his inexperience at the time — just over two years on the job — he failed to ask Moreside more questions on the phone, including whether she wanted to go to a women’s shelter. He said he also should have done a database check on Willier, a man with a violent criminal record. A search would have showed Moreside had filed an assault complaint against Willier six months earlier. In the end, Bateman said, he should have gone to the couple’s home to help resolve their dispute. It was just a twominute drive from the RCMP detachment. Moreside’s daughter, Cynthia Flaata, attended the first two days of the inquiry. She said Bateman and several officers approached her privately to apologize for her mother’s death. It was something she has waited eight years to hear. She and her brother didn’t know their mother had made a 911 call until

an internal RCMP memo about it was leaked to the media months after the death. RCMP later announced that an error had been made, but didn’t apologize to the family. Flaata said she no longer blames anyone. “I think there was a series of events and things that were omitted and left out that contributed to the whole situation,” Flaata, 35, said outside court. She said she was happy to hear through some of the inquiry testimony that there is now more domestic violence training for 911 operators and Mounties. Bateman told court that he now understands destruction of property in a relationship — Moreside’s broken window — does constitute domestic violence. “It doesn’t bring my mom back,” said Flaata. “But it’s good to know there’s more procedures and policies in place that’ll cause people to ask more questions and dig deeper hopefully in the future.”

Psychiatric test ordered for man in Calgary freeman case MONTREAL — The Montreal man evicted from a Calgary duplex after trying to declare it a sovereign embassy will be evaluated to determine whether he can be held responsible for alleged crimes in Quebec. Mario Antonacci appeared Tuesday in Quebec court in Montreal. Judge Jean-Paul Braun granted a request by Atonacci’s lawyer to have him evaluated for criminal responsibility in crimes dating back nearly six years. Leandre Dube-Laberge told the court that new information suggests Antonacci may not have been mentally well at the time of one of the alleged crimes and it is necessary to have her client assessed. She said Antonacci is showing more willingness to work with doctors at the

BRIEF Wildrose mocks Building Alberta ads with faux signs celebrating urinal cakes EDMONTON, B.C. — Alberta’s Wildrose party has once again managed to irritate Premier Alison Redford’s government with another tongue-in-cheek publicity stunt. Wildrose members have been walking around the legislature putting up signs mocking Redford’s Building Alberta signs, which the Wildrose calls vanity advertising for Redford’s party purchased at taxpayer expense. Signs in the legislature washrooms remind users that Redford is also Building Alberta by replacing urinal pucks and buying toilet paper. Others remind staff that putting up Christmas lights, replacing light bulbs, moving dirt, shovelling snow and even

institute where he’ll be evaluated and has agreed to share his previous health files with them. “I order that he be detained and the assessment regarding responsibility be proceeded with at the Pinel Institute,” Braun ruled. Although the Crown didn’t strongly object, prosecutor Jacques Belanger did question why this issue didn’t come up initially following Antonacci’s arrest. The accused’s lawyer said it was Antonacci’s daughter, who lived with him around the time of the alleged crimes, who has indicated now that she was concerned about his state at the time. “It was his words and his general attitude, she was worried about his mental health,” Dube-Laberge said. Antonacci was declared earlier this month to be fit to stand trial and assist in his own defence. There were no outbursts in court as

the accused sat quietly and listened to the judge. He said he understood what his lawyer was requesting on his behalf. His previous court appearances since his return from Alberta have been marked by bizarre statements and claims. Antonacci appeared to be keeping his focus on the judge on Tuesday. Antonacci will remain detained for the time being. He vanished in the middle of a Montreal trial for aggravated assault in 2010 and remained under the radar until this year after an incident in Alberta. Rebekah Caverhill said she rented her beige brick, bungalow-style duplex to a man named Andreas Pirelli in November 2011. He promised to fix up the home but not long after, the accused identified himself as a follower of the Freemen-on-the-Land movement.

Members of that group have declared themselves independent of government jurisdiction. Pirelli did the same, claiming her property as an embassy, changing the locks and placing a lien on the home. It was discovered that Pirelli was actually Antonacci and had skipped out on two court cases against him in Quebec, including the alleged assault of his landlady in Montreal in 2007. He’s also facing charges in a separate file of break and enter and mischief. His whereabouts became known to police in Montreal after a high-profile dispute with a Caverhill that came to light in September. He was eventually arrested by Calgary police on the outstanding bench warrants from Quebec. Antonacci’s case will return to court on Dec. 13.

just the act of putting up Building Alberta signs are also building Alberta. Redford’s spokesman Stefan Baranski took to Twitter to call the signs “childish.” In the past, the Wildrose party has drawn attention to Redford’s absences in the legislature by putting up Wanted posters, and has mocked a provincial alternative measures sentencing program by handing out get-out-of-jailfree coupons.

The province has advised all downstream communities not to draw water from the river while the slurry floats by.

gerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm dismissed. Jacob Cable, who is 27, was charged in a fatal crash near Rocky Mountain House in October 2012. The charges were dismissed Tuesday in Rocky Mountain House provincial court, and now Cable faces just one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. No date has been set for Cable to return to court. Police say a truck struck a car with six people inside that was parked along the side of Highway 11 west of Rocky Mountain House. The crash killed a 20-year-old man who was a passenger in the car.

COMMENT

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 2013

The energy elephant PM CAN’T IGNORE THE ISSUE ANY LONGER Had Canadians embraced an ambitious climate change plan along the lines of Stéphane Dion’s Green Shift five years ago, would the Keystone XL pipeline blueprint still be gathering dust in President Barack Obama’s in-tray? Would Alberta’s energy industry be scrambling to CHANTAL get a single doHÉBERT mestic pipeline off the drawing board? By the time the 2008 federal vote took place, the global financial crisis was in full swing. If the ruling Conservatives had presented a credible climate change plan of their own rather than be content to demonize that of their rivals back then, they might have had to tone it down in the face of deteriorating economic circumstances. But the green credentials of such a government would have continued to be a defining feature at home and abroad. Its first order of business would not have been the dismantling of the country’s environmental oversight infrastructure along the lines of that undertaken by the Conservatives since they have won a majority, or the waging of a counterintuitive war on the environmental movement. Would Obama have found it easier to sign off on a pipeline bid that was backed by a Canadian government whose body language was climate change friendly? The answer is a nobrainer. Over the past few months, the president has made that clear. As months of Canadian lobbying on behalf of Keystone XL turn into years, it has become glaringly obvious that Canada’s environmental record is acting as a damper on its energy ambitions, and not only in Washington. It is also a hindrance in the provinces that are on the projected routes of the domestic pipelines. There was little talk of pipelines in the 2008 election but by all indications

INSIGHT

there will be plenty of it in the next federal campaign. The issue played a pivotal role in the outcome of last spring’s British Columbia election. In that province, an ill-fated mid-campaign decision by the NDP to turn its opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline into a more blanket opposition to pipelines is widely credited for having turned the tide in favour of the Liberals. A significant number of voters are opposed to any expansion of Canada’s pipeline network but an even greater number is not yet ready to foreclose the option. That fact was duly noted in all of the country’s political capitals. Against that backdrop, minority governments that may be headed to the polls as early as the spring in Ontario and Quebec are struggling to arrive at an electorally balanced approach to

the West-East pipelines that are on the drawing board. For now, both governments have been keeping their options open. Indeed, pipeline proponents probably lucked out when Pauline Marois led her party to victory last year. In opposition, the instinct of the Parti Québécois would have been to mobilize public opinion against a pro-pipeline governing rival. But in power, it is more concerned with earning brownie points for its economic management from the smallc conservative voters who hold the key to a coveted majority. The PQ did draw a lesson from the defeat of the NDP in B.C. The pipeline debate has also resurfaced in the lead-up to the four federal byelections that will take place next Monday.

In Toronto-Centre, a riding far removed geo-politically from Alberta’s oilfields, the NDP and the Liberals have been shadowboxing over their respective approaches to Keystone XL. Their jousting is another sign that the pipeline debate is heating up. But in a general election, the NDPLiberal differences would greatly fade in the face of the Conservatives’ negative contribution to the pipeline cause. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has made it impossible to have a national conversation on the economy without talking about pipelines, but just as impossible to debate those without addressing his climate change record. When it comes to Canada’s energy agenda, it is the elephant in the room that will no longer be ignored. Chantal Hébert is syndicated Toronto Star national affairs writer.

Playing by the numbers in China EASING ONE-CHILD POLICY WON’T PREVENT LOOMING DEMOGRAPHIC CRISIS The big news of the week is that China’s one-child policy is being relaxed. After 34 years when most Chinese families were officially limited to only one child, most couples will now be allowed to have two children. The reality, however, is that it will make very little difference. It will make little difference because only about onethird of Chinese couples were still living under those restrictions anyway. The one-child limit never applied to ethnic minorities, and in the past 15 years it has rarely applied to people living in rural areas either: couples whose first GWYNNE child was a girl are almost alDYER ways allowed to have a second child (in the hope that it will be a boy). Controls were stricter in the cities, but if both prospective parents were only children themselves they were exempt from the limit. And people with enough money can just ignore the rules: the penalty for having a second child is just a stiff fine up front and the extra cost of raising a child who is not entitled to free education. (The fines are reported to have raised $2.12 billion for the state coffers last year alone.) The net result of all this is that the China’s current fertility rate (the average number of children a woman will bear in a lifetime) is not 1.0, as it would be if there were a really strict one-child policy. According to United Nations statistics, it is 1.55, about the same as Canada. Which suggests that most Chinese who really wanted a second child got one.

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director

The new rules that have just been announced by the Third Plenum of the Communist Party say that urban people can now have a legal second child if just one of the would-be parents was an only child. This is not going to unleash a wave of extra babies; it will raise the fertility rate, at most, to 1.6. (Replacement level is 2.1.) Indeed, it’s questionable whether the one-child policy really held down China’s birth rate at all. There are demographers who argue that the onechild policy hasn’t really made much difference. China was already urbanizing fast when the policy was imposed in 1979, and the more urban a country is, the lower the birth rate. From about 1970, there was also a very aggressive birth control policy. The fertility rate in China had already dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to only 2.7 in 1978, the year before the one-child rule was introduced. It has since fallen to 1.55, but that might well have happened anyway. For comparison, Brazil’s fertility rate has dropped from 6.0 50 years ago to 1.7 now without a one-child policy. China’s National Population and Family Planning Commission claims that the one-child policy has spared the country an extra 400 million mouths to feed, but it would say that, wouldn’t it? The real number of births avoided by that policy is probably no more than 100 million in three decades. And if we accept these numbers, then three major conclusions follow. The first is that the one-child policy is not the major culprit in China’s disastrous gender imbalance, with at least 120 boys born for every 100 girls. The social effects of this are very dangerous: by the end of this decade, there will be 24 million leftover men who will never find a wife. Any sane government would be terrified by the

prospect of a huge army of unattached and dissatisfied young men hanging around the streets after work with nothing much to do. A regime with as little legitimacy as the communists will be even more frightened by it. Unfortunately for them, ending the one-child policy will have little effect on this pattern. Only state intervention as arbitrary and intrusive as the one-child policy could reverse the gender imbalance, and it is doubtful that the communist regime is still confident enough to risk that degree of unpopularity. The second conclusion we can draw from these statistics is that China’s population is going to drop whether the regime wants it or not. It will peak at or below 1.4 billion, possibly as soon as 2017, and then begin a long decline that will see it fall to 1.2 billion by 2050. There’s nothing wrong with that in principle, but it exacerbates what is already the greatest threat to economic growth in China: the population’s rapidly rising average age. The big, old generations will be around for a long time, but the younger generations are getting smaller very fast. Indeed, the number of people in the 20 to 24 age group in China will halve in the next 10 years. This means the dependency rate is going to skyrocket. In 1975, there were 7.7 people in the workforce for every person over sixty: by 2050, the ratio will be only 1.6 employed persons for every retiree. No country has ever had to bear such a burden before, but ending the one-child policy won’t get the birth rate back up. The only way China could increase its workforce to lessen the burden is to open up the country to mass immigration. And what are the odds on that?

LETTERS Homeless funding change leaves people out in cold This letter was also sent to Alberta Human Services Minister Dave Hancock, Red Deer’s mayor and city councillors, and the Safe Harbour Society: In September, we read a news article that the Red Deer Winter’s Inn program run by the Central Alberta Safe Harbour Society did not receive funding from the Community Housing Advisory Board. We wondered what that would mean to Red Deer’s homeless population and we found out during the first real cold snap and winter storm of the season. Twelve people were turned away over a two-day period from People’s Place and eight were turned away from the mat program. Upon inquiring why the Safe Harbour Society did not receive funding, we discovered that the government (which provides funding to the Community Housing Advisory Board) made the decision that funding could not be used to provide temporary shelter for homeless people. In a community where we have buildings sitting idle, such as those on the Michener grounds as well as two empty former nursing homes, it is unconscionable that people are being left out in the cold. We understand that homelessness can be a complicated situation for many, especially for those with a mental illness or addictions; however, it is heartbreaking that people who are looking for a warm place to sleep have to remain on the streets in the cold. We are aware that there is a backlog of housing options and many who stay in shelters are on the Red Deer Housing Team waitlist. We also understand that tackling homelessness has many facets, including securing long-term housing. We further understand that the government has changed its focus to making long-term changes that will prevent homelessness and strategies requiring co-ordinated action between government and local communities. However, none of this changes the situation at hand — winter is here and there is not enough funding in place for temporary shelters to allow people to escape the brutally cold winters that we have in Red Deer. This is an immediate and urgent situation and we implore you to restore funding so those who need shelter can have their needs met.

Mixed messages on nurses from Alberta Health Services

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 2013

We held the walk “to advocate for our patients, residents and clients, and to protect public health care.” To do this we need to inform the public of the issues of layoffs and the replacement of educated and skilled nurses, whose profession is regulated, with non-professional and unregulated health care aides, which is now occurring even in hospitals. This contradicts all evidence that shows that without skilled, educated nurses there is increase re-admissions and increased risk to patients, including death. Albertans deserve better. AHS needs to redirect dollars from expensive deceptive advertising to front line client and patient care. Health care aides are valued members of health-care teams, but they cannot replaced educated and skilled nurses. Claire Goertzen Red Deer

Thanks for support for Korean War veterans On behalf of the Korea Veterans Association of Red Deer, we would like to extend a gracious thank you for all that attended the Remembrance Day service at the Red Deer Cenotaph on Nov. 11. Thank you to all veterans, active members, the two city council representatives, cadets, bugler, piper and speakers. Thank you to the full squad of RCMP. To the cadets and RCMP, who stood their positions firm in spite of the cold weather as the Cenotaph guard. A special thank you to the general public who showed gracious and heartfelt support and consideration to the meaning of Remembrance Day. Thank you for our presence, you are appreciated.

Pulling service pensions shameful act by Ottawa On Remembrance Day, I participated in our local Remembrance Day service, along with many of my neighbours. At one point, a person representing our federal government laid a wreath “to honour then servicemen and women who gave their lives in the service of their country.” It’s a fine sentiment but, in this case, it seemed ironic, even cynical for such an act to occur. All over the country, people saw our federal government “honouring” members of the armed services. All of these were cynical acts when seen in the light of a recent decision made in the Department of Veterans Affairs. As many of you may know, personnel who remain in the armed services for 10 years are eligible for a fully indexed pension for the remainder of their life. Veterans Affairs has recently begun to evaluate and assess service personnel in the final year of their service to determine if they are “fit to be deployed.” Those found to be unfit to be deployed are promptly discharged. Because they are terminated prior to the 10th anniversary of their enlistment, they will receive no pension. It is shocking to discover some of the reasons for personnel being judged at “unfit to be deployed.” Amputation of a limb is one cause; blindness caused by shrapnel is another; ongoing post-traumatic stress is a third reason. The list is long. It reveals that our government is denying a pension to any wounded or damaged member who cannot be fit for further service. Their discharge occurs in the months just prior to their 10th anniversary of service. In other words, we cheat our most vulnerable vets — the wounded, the damaged, the crippled — of the means of their future support. To save money on the backs of people who have volunteered there lives, and been damaged as a result, is a cynical and heartless policy that should be terminated forthwith. Shame on our government for such behaviour. I would urge you to call your MP’s office to protest this policy change. We owe to our damaged young people. James Strachan Ponoka

I am writing today as I am rather perplexed by the large ads placed by Alberta Health Services (AHS) in the Red Deer Advocate and other papers across Alberta. I find these ads to be quite deceptive, as the collective agreement AHS has with the United Nurses of Alberta allows AHS to determine the number of full-time positions to post. Since January 2013, AHS has posted 2,348 vacancies for full-time nurses and 4,348 for part time. One recent week alone, there were only 93 full-time positions posted but 153 for part time. I might respectfully suggest that if they want more full-time nurses working in Alberta, they simply post more full-time positions. If AHS is having difficulty recruiting into the full-time positions, then perhaps examining and rectifying some of the real reasons nurses may struggle to work full-time in Alberta could be addressed. I refer to issues surrounding inhumane schedules, vacation denials, overtime and overwhelming workloads. I am certain there are more effective uses of our tax dollars than these deceptive ads. It was not the nurses of Alberta who encouraged the massive layoffs, bed closures and rollbacks of the 1990s that reduced so dramatically the number of full-time positions in Alberta. I would further suggest that AHS look to nurses for solutions rather than as the problem and perhaps we could believe what the ad says that they care about nurses. For as I see it, it has been nurses and other dedicated health providers There is reason to take issue with and professionals caring for Albertans a recent piece entitled Alberta’s new who have provided our health system with any level of sustainability and payment model for long-term care a step backbone over the past many years in in the right direction (Advocate, Nov. 1), which promoted a funding method Alberta.

The authors also support a drive away from public long-term care, toward private supportive living. They claim the current flat-rate funding methods allow private long-term care facilities to “cherry-pick” patients with the cheapest and easiest care needs, and to reject those with more difficult conditions. In Alberta, publicly operated longterm care facilities receive patients into opened beds from the list of people needing that care. At that point, need assessments have been made and it is doubtful that anyone who has made the list could still be adequately cared for in the privately-operated assisted living. The total number of long-term care beds has been capped for a number of years — 14,731 in 2011, reducing by AHS plan to 13,751 in 2013. Thus, no matter what the funding model, if the number of beds available is insufficient, the model cannot work. AHS tries to solve this problem by encouraging growth of private “supportive living” centres, aiming for 1,000 new beds each year for five years. Alberta Home Care is responsible for assessing people for placement in public long-term care where they pay a flat rate, or supportive living, where they must pay a greater portion for their care. The article outlines a plan that would change payment from a flat rate (called in some health circles “global funding”) to paying more for individuals needing higher levels of care, thus financially motivating operators to take on the more difficult cases. That would seem to make sense if we view care service givers solely as manual labourers influenced by dangling money in front of them. Crucial aspects of long-term care include adjusting the work to specific patient need — flexible, humane and accommodating rather than centrally-directed and hemmed in by limited regimens set by distant administrators. Long-term care and supportive living is still an understaffed and underpaid workforce. Instead of making care a valuable and worthwhile option for students coming out of school and those requiring a new career, the government and Alberta Health Services (AHS) relies on temporary foreign workers or those with a low level of training or experience. Given that the patient/care based funding will, by definition, have differential staffing for individual long-term care residents, this will need a variable staffing pattern for those centres. The practicalities of giving a certain number of care hours to one resident and different hours to another presupposes that the staff is not overworked and is not diverted to another resident if a crisis occurs. Seniors’ care needs are not static. Care dollars should go to the facility not rigidly attached to the patient/senior. Each care unit can, and should, have various levels of care need tended there, giving room for flexible response discretion as needs rise and fall for each resident. Hours of care will follow the money allotted to the patient but it is impossible to prevent care time being spread out over the whole workload. The article skims the top of seniors’ care needs, without any context other than, perhaps, Ontario, where much of the basis for the proposals was researched

and then applied to Alberta. Implementing a new funding model breeds suspicion. The very nature and recent history of health care in Alberta is one of cuts, cuts and more cuts. Thus any new model will be greeted with suspicion. Patient care-based funding is one means of assessing those in need of care. The InterRAI (International Resident Assessment Instrument) is another currently in use in Alberta. If these assessments were the basis for patient placements, there would be less objection. However, it is clear from government, hospital and other reporting sources that cost-cutting enters into the decisions about placement. Most of those judgments have a basis in ideology — money rules, the individual is the focus of attention, expertise and scientific data are not to be trusted, and centralized control is emphasized. One consequence is layoffs from already staff-short care centres. The authors’ claims that long-term beds in Ontario were filled by the care centre owners with relatively lowneeds patients because they cost less to serve, and that waiting lists did not decline in the longer term are probably accurate, but not the whole story. In Alberta, patients assessed as ready to leave hospitals are nonetheless retained as acute care patients until a long-term care bed becomes available, thus not being counted as “waiting for placement.” That waiting list virtually disappeared overnight by using this administrative ploy. There is no sign (largely, perhaps, because the government guards the information closely) that this practice will change soon. Overall, proposed changes remove the capacity from local professionals to assess care levels and needs, instead concentrating those decisions in central offices of Alberta Health Services. InterRAI is, after all, a global tool aimed at developing a system that can be compared internationally, not a locally-developed tool that can be easily amended to deal with regional or community needs. An effect of that centralized decision-making and localized execution is to require that service providers spend a lot of time filling out records, reporting to central office, justifying their practices and budgets — especially any deviation, even statistically — from the norm. Service providers spend far too much time on these activities and far too little on actual care. In addition, morale suffers due to the inherent lack of trust. With ongoing AHS budget cuts, highly centralized and controlled systems like PCBF and InterRAI are very attractive to the government, resulting in off-loading care and cost to families, and dumbing down the whole spectrum of health care for seniors. Oddly, the lead up to the Advocate article only lists one of the authors, Eric Hellstein. It turns out the other one listed at the end, Trafford Crump, was a member of a contracted consultant group proposing this new funding method for AHS in the first place, so their very supportive article rests on an evident conflict of interest — not a good position for a writer from the Evidence Network.

What would Jesus do? TORONTO MAYOR ROB FORD PROMISES PEOPLE WILL SEE A POSITIVE CHANGE IN HIM SOON BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Anesthesiologist guilty on all counts of molesting women during surgery BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — An anesthesiologist accused of molesting 21 female patients during surgery was found guilty on all counts Tuesday. Dr. George Doodnaught, who was called a “sexual opportunist” by the Crown in the case, had pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting each of the women. Some of Doodnaught’s victims were in the packed courtroom as the verdict was read, and some people could be heard sighing with relief. The assaults reported by the 21 women were similar, generally involving a combination of Doodnaught kissing them, fondling their breasts and putting his penis in their mouth or hand while they were under conscious sedation. All but one occurred during surgeries at a Toronto hospital between 2006 and 2010. Judge David McCombs found Doodnaught’s guilt on all counts “overwhelming.” He noted the women did not know each other and were unaware of the particulars of the other patients’ stories when they separately came forward. The sedation no doubt affected the ability of the women to accurately perceive and remember events, McCombs said. “However, I have found that they were conscious and aware during significant parts of their surgeries and were able to recall these shocking and abhorrent events.” The judge rejected the evidence of defence experts who suggested patients under conscious sedation could have hallucinated the sexual assaults. He said Crown evidence that such hallucinations are “virtually unheard of” is entitled to considerable weight. Dr. George Mashour, an anesthetist who has researched awareness of patients during conscious sedation, said that while sexual hallucinations with the drugs Doodnaught used have been reported, they’re very rare and only occurred with much higher dosages than Doodnaught used, McCombs wrote. Mashour testified that the odds are “vanishingly rare” that the drugs caused the patients to believe they were molested. If the drugs were to blame, he testified, he wouldn’t expect them all to relate to a single doctor. McCombs also dismissed the defence position that Doodnaught would not have had the opportunity to molest the patients. Doodnaught will remain free on bail until sentencing. A date for sentencing arguments is to be set Dec. 13.

Ford: a boon or hindrance to Harper, who might need Ford Nation next election OTTAWA — Rob Ford has been making international headlines for weeks, soaring into the celebrity stratosphere with surreal antics that have transfixed the globe. Canada’s prime minister, meantime, appears to be among the few living souls with no opinion on the Toronto mayor’s spectacular fall from grace. It’s left Stephen Harper and the Conservatives vulnerable to ridicule in the House of Commons; Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says he’ll take no lessons in accountability from “Rob Ford’s fishing buddy.” Harper’s office finally weighed in on Ford this week in a statement that called the mayor’s behavior “troubling” while taking a swipe at Trudeau for his admission that he’d smoked pot while a sitting MP. The PMO’s statement on Ford appeared designed to avoid angering so-called Ford Nation, that fierce battalion of Ford supporters in the outlying regions of Toronto who still back the mayor. They’re a formidable force whose allegiance to their leader keeps him perched in a higher spot in public opinion polls than where Harper is currently languishing, even in the face of Ford’s ongoing woes. A slew of Ford supporters worked for the federal Conservatives during the 2011 federal election campaign. The mayor’s muscle in the Toronto suburbs was a boon to his federal colleagues during that election, helping them win several hard-fought races in the city’s outlying ridings.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper shakes hands with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford after announcing funding for subways in Toronto, Sunday, September 22, 2013. Harper appears to be among the few living souls with no opinion on the Toronto mayor’s spectacular fall from grace. adopt a “more co-operative” approach that is “more sensitive to the arguments and positions of others.” Another councillor said the votes went to great lengths “to isolate the mayor and limit the damage” he can do to the city. “Ford continues to put himself ahead of the best interests of the city,” Coun. Joe Mihevc said Tuesday. “He has brought shame and embarrassment to the city, dishonour to the office of mayor, and has a record of failed leadership.” Mihevc also said it’s time for council to get back to “boring.” Ford called Monday’s votes a “coup d’etat” and a declaration of war, comparing what happened to him to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991. Ford’s lawyer, George Rust-D’Eye, said he might seek an injunction against council’s decisions but was still waiting for instructions. City staff said they believed their actions, which are essentially in force until the next municipal election in October 2014, would withstand legal scrutiny.

TORONTO — Toronto’s embattled mayor says he’s turning his life around, staying off alcohol and trying to lose weight — all while threatening legal action against city council for stripping him of most of his powers. In a series of interviews with Canadian and American television networks Rob Ford promised people will see a positive change in him in the near future. He told CBC News The National in an interview with host Peter Mansbridge Monday night that he has had a “come to Jesus moment” brought on by the “belittling” he has endured lately. The interview capped a day which saw Ford remain defiant despite a series of votes in city council that reduced his powers to ribbon cutting. Ford’s criminal lawyer, Dennis Morris, said the mayor is spending up to two hours a day exercising, has revamped his diet and is receiving “professional support” including care from a medical doctor. “It isn’t just going to the gym and having a few shakes, he’s addressing a substance abuse problem, and I don’t think you have to ask too many questions to realize it’s probably alcohol,” Morris told The Canadian Press. Though the mayor has denied being addicted to drugs or alcohol, the allegations laid out in police documents are “part and parcel of indicia of having a substance abuse challenge,” Morris said. In an interview broadcast this morning on NBC’s Today, Ford was combative under questioning by host Matt Lauer, who asked him about his admitted binge drinking. Lauer asked Ford if he’d be able to handle a terror attack or disaster in the city if he’d been out on a binge the night before — but Ford said that could happen to anyone. “I’m very fortunate that hasn’t happened. It’s very few isolated incidents that it’s happened,” Ford replied. “That could happen with anybody at any time.” In Monday’s vote, councillors slashed Ford’s mayoral budget and handed many of his duties and staff to the city’s deputy mayor, Norm Kelly. Kelly told reporters Tuesday he would carry on with the mayor’s fiscally conservative agenda, but

People smuggling to Canada from U.S. rising, says binational threat report OTTAWA — A newly declassified report says smugglers were caught trying to slip dramatically more people into Canada from the United States in 2011 compared with the previous year. The binational report on border security says authorities apprehended 487 people as smugglers attempted to sneak them into Canada at unguarded points along the border — a 58 per cent increase over 2010. At the same time, the number of people caught being spirited into the United States from Canada fell slightly during the same period to 360. The figures on smuggling activity between official ports of entry appear in the 2012 Integrated Border Enforcement Team threat assessment report, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. An advocacy group for refugees attributes the surge in Canada-bound human smuggling attempts to an agreement between the countries that has prompted desperate refugees to turn to criminal groups willing to help them across the border. Under the Safe Third Country agreement, Canada and the U.S. recognize each other as safe places for refugee claimants to seek protection.

sworn in as the top defence adviser last year that he didn’t want to reduce the 68,000 full-time and 27,000 part-time members of military. But Lawson says that is something the government could re-examine as it looks at an updated version of the Canada First Defence Strategy, a policy that attempts to strike a balance between shrinking budgets and the needs of the military.

Fantino asks for clarity on Canada’s obligation to vets OTTAWA — Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino has asked a House of Commons committee to spell out precisely what kind of social and legal obligation Canada has to its soldiers. The issue is at the heart of a class-action lawsuit underway in B.C., where veterans of the Afghan war say they are being discriminated against by Ottawa’s new benefits system. The Conservatives, who bill themselves as champions of Canadian soldiers, faced intense criticism last summer when federal lawyers filed their defence in the court case. Justice Department attorneys argued Canada has no extraordinary obligation to care for wounded and broken veterans, despite pledges of previous governments dating back to the First World War. Fantino wants MPs to define what Canada’s shared duty and responsibility should be for possible inclusion in the veterans charter. The Commons veterans committee is studying whether changes to the charter, made in 2011, are having the desired effect.

OTTAWA — Canada is “at odds” with key allies by not recognizing the Syrian opposition, says a newly released internal memo. But a separate human-rights report also released Tuesday offers support to the Harper government’s decision not to follow the United States, Britain and others in recognizing the disparate coalition of rebel groups. The report from Human Rights Watch, the New York-based watchdog, says rebel fighters executed civilians in their custody and killed others with indiscriminate sniper fire and mortar attacks during a one-week battle in a mainly Christian village last month in northern Syria. The report was unable to say which of several opposition groups was responsible for the abuses documented. The memo, a briefing note on the Syrian crisis for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, reiterates Canada’s opposition to recognizing the Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) in part because of concerns about extremist links. But it says the decision cost Canada membership in an 11-country group that is trying to find a diplomatic solution to the long-running civil war. “This position is at odds with many of our closest allies,” says the July memo, obtained under the Access to Information Act. The names of those allies are redacted from the document. This “has meant that we are no longer a member of the Core Group of the Friends of the Syrian People, all of whom provide support directly to the SOC. However, the SOC has recently expanded its membership in response to concerns about its inclusiveness and diversity.” The Core Group is composed of the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Turkey, Italy, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Qatar. The group met last month in London in a meeting chaired by British Foreign Secretary William Hague. Hague said that the group committed to “put our united and collective weight behind a UN-led Geneva II process.” Geneva II is the name for a peace process that could move forward if planned talks in that city next month actually materialize. Canada is concerned the Syrian opposition contains militant Islamists and does not respect religious minorities. In its Oct. 22 statement, the Core Group affirmed its backing of “moderate armed groups,” and affirmed the need for a political solution. On that same day, a Syrian rebel offensive on the mainly Christian village of Sadad, about 100 kilometres north of Damascus, was in its second day. In its Tuesday report, Human Rights Watch identified the names of 46 civilians who it said were killed by rebel groups during a siege that lasted until Oct. 28. Syria’s two-and-a-half year civil war has led to an estimated 100,000 deaths.

17 Canadians missing in the Philippines OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs officials are still trying to track down 17 Canadians who remain unaccounted for in the typhoon-ravaged Philippines. But they say they still have no reports of any Canadians killed or injured in the disaster. They say locating people is becoming easier as communications are gradually restored. Meanwhile, the Canadian Forces are shipping a third helicopter and another water purification unit to the Disaster Assistance Response Team, or DART, operating on the island of Panay. International Development Minister Christian Paradis is also clarifying that the $15 million in aid announced Monday was in fact the government’s contribution to match donations by Canadians. Paradis says individuals have donated $19.6 million so far for Filipino relief and that their contributions are being matched by Ottawa. KITCHEN COUNTERS AND BACKSPLASH

Cutting size of military could be on the table for government OTTAWA — The country’s top military commander says cutting the size of the Canadian Forces is something the Harper government could grapple with next month as it reviews an updated defence strategy. Gen. Tom Lawson, the chief of defence staff, says the government has not yet expressed a desire to cut uniformed members in its drive to balance the budget.

Olds SoftGels rises from Pharmacaps BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

A construction crew works on a new building under construction at the Queens Business Park. With development in the first phase of Queens Business Park well underway, the City of Red Deer is moving quickly to bring the next phase on line.

Queens Business Park set for continued growth BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR If there’s a run on industrial land, the City of Red Deer shouldn’t be caught unprepared. On Monday, city council approved the rezoning of 123 acres of municipally-owned land south of Hwy 11A and west of Hwy 2. The area is earmarked for the next two phases of Queens Business Park, with nearly 95 acres designated for light and heavy industrial lots, five for commercial use, and the remainder for roadways and a small municipal reserve area. “We’re hoping to be permitready come this spring,” said Land and Economic Development manager John Sennema, adding that a subdivision plan is expected to go before Red Deer’s municipal

planning commission next week. “We have most of our infrastructure in the ground at this point and the road base done.” The city has nearly sold out a similar quantity of land in the first phase of Queens Business Park, with about 9.5 acres of industrial and five of commercial property all that remain. A number of buildings are currently going up in this area. “We’re starting to see some really good activity out there,” said Sennema. The city is already getting inquiries from prospective buyers about the next phase. And Sennema wants to ensure the land there is available when it’s needed — something contemplated in Red Deer’s economic development strategy. “One of the strategies identified was to have a supply of serviced industrial lands to help

facilitate businesses moving and growing. “What I’m trying to do is have an even flow of industrial land available at all times, so that people can come in as they need to and talk to us about obtaining these lands.” Red Deer owns two other quarter sections within the Queens Business Park plan area, and has already begun the process of developing an area structure plan that will serve as the blueprint for development there. Meanwhile, other privatelyowned industrial land is being developed to the south. Sennema is optimistic that Red Deer’s newest industrial park grow quickly. He said the level of interest jumped as soon as the road network began to take shape and the first buildings went up. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Foreign groups visit Olds College Olds College gained an international flavour in recent weeks, with groups from France and Latin America visiting the campus. A French Ministry of Agriculture delegation, which included representatives of the ministry and institutions, toured the college and discussed opportunities for partnership, exchanges and joint research in agriculture and forestry, said a release issued by Olds College.

The other group consisted of representatives of the Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program. ELAP is a short-term student exchange program that provides scholarships for students from the Caribbean and Latin America for studies or research at Canadian post-secondary institutions.

The Olds Banner Pharmacaps plant has ceased to exist, but the story has a happier ending than many local residents feared when the facility’s closure was announced in March. The plant, which encapsulated nutritional and pharmaceutical ingredients into soft gel pills, has been reborn as Olds Softgels Inc. The transformation occurred after Calgary-based Advanced Orthomolecular Research bought the property from Patheon Inc. of North Carolina. Clark Sayer, Advanced Orthomolecular Research’s general manager, said Patheon ceased production at the plant in early October. His company has spent this month preparing the 5807 47th Ave. facility for a resumption of its operations. “It’ll probably be another couple of weeks.” Patheon employed more than 100 people in Olds prior to the shutdown. Sayer hopes to hire many of these back as production ramps up. “We’ll bring them on board as we get additional contracts from customers. Hopefully, the first batch will be back on board early December and then we’ll just go from there. “One of the reasons that drove us to the purchase was the quality of the management team and the staff.” Sayer said there might also be employment opportunities at Advanced Orthomolecular Research’s Calgary plant, which is being expanded. “There were (Banner Pharmacaps staff) who were commuting from Airdrie and Calgary, so we’ll probably have some options here for those folks.” Advanced Orthomolecular Research produces about 200 products, including dietary supplements and vitamins. But most of these are manufactured as two-piece shell capsules, tablets or bulk powders. The Olds plant will allow the company to expand into soft gels, which Sayer said previously are popular with many consumers. Oil-soluble products like vitamins A, E and D; fish oil; omega 3 oils and some enzymes are good candidates for soft gel encapsulation, he said. Sayer is optimistic there will be a strong demand for products from the Olds plant. “There are a number of Canadian companies that would rather keep it in Canada than bring in work from the States.” He doesn’t expect the Olds plant to change significantly under Advanced Orthomolecular Research ownership. “We’re going to operate it as a wholly-owned subsidiary, so we intend to put as little of our footprint on it as possible because it’s already got its own identity and there’s not a lot we can do to enhance that.” Patheon, which bought Banner Pharmacaps from Dutch company VION N.V in 2012, continues to operate other Banner Pharmacaps manufacturing facilities in North Carolina, Mexico City and the Netherlands. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Wouldn’t you prefer to have a $1,000 in the bank, and earn at least 2 per cent or $20 on this money? In fact, any children under the age of 18 would be better off if you contributed this $1,000 into a registered education savings plan (RESP). Assuming that you qualified for the basic Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG), your children would potentially have an additional $1,200 that could be used toward college tuition; your $1,000 contribution and the $200 CESG. The federal government, via the CESG, will contribute an additional 20 per cent of the first $2,500 into an RESP on your behalf.

RESP: Big return on investment That’s a 20 per cent return on investment. The basic rules of RESP investing include a lifetime contribution limit of $50,000 per beneficiary (child). Keep in mind that you can contribute to an RESP for up to 32 years. In addition, the federal government will contribute CESG to a maximum of $7,200 per beneficiary. There are other benefits to investing in an RESP that are income dependent, which I will not review here, but the point is that tying your savings habits to the use of a credit card may not be a great financial strategy. However, an RESP will allow you to potentially earn a great ROI, save for your children’s future, and allow you to help your children build their financial house, which can only contribute to their positive financial destiny. Remember, you are in control of your financial destiny.

COLLEGE: Such visits are important “Olds College has had three sets of ELAP graduate students, a total of 10 students, at the Olds College Centre for Innovation in the last three years, and I think this visit will positively affect the growth of ELAP at Olds College,” said J. Pablo OrtizHernández, co-ordinator of international engagement in the international and business development department at Olds College. Jason Dewling, vice-president of academics and research at Olds College, stressed the importance of such visits. “Sharing ideas and philosophies will allow for future development of programs and methodologies of both Olds College and those we collaborate with. Our reputation as a world class agricultural and research institution has allowed for us to cultivate these partnerships, which we believe will continue to grow in the future.”

Canada in top 10 easiest places to pay corporate taxes: PwC-World Bank THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada has held on to its ranking among the top 10 easiest places in the world to pay corporate taxes, according to the latest ratings by PwC and the World Bank Group. The joint study ranked Canada eighth for a second year in a row in a report released Tuesday. The United Arab Emirates was first overall, followed by Qatar and Saudi Arabia on the list of 189 countries. The report ranked countries based on the number of tax payments per year, time taken to compile returns and submit payments and the total tax rate for a hypothetical small- to medium-sized business. “Within North America, Canada maintains the lowest average total tax rate ranking largely due to its efforts to establish a tax-competitive and business-friendly

environment,” said Brad Sakich, PwC’s Canadian tax policy leader. “Privately owned small businesses in Canada should take comfort — the ranking demonstrates that Canadian government agencies support and encourage the creation of more such businesses.” In addition to the total tax on its pre-tax profits, PwC ranked countries on the administrative burden companies face in filing their taxes. The firm noted that Canada ranked highly due to cuts to corporate income taxes since 2001 and efforts to simplify the tax compliance aspects of running a business. PwC said the typical small- to medium-sized company in Canada has eight tax payments to make a year, takes 131 hours to comply with its tax filings and pays a total tax rate of 24.3 per cent on its profits.

LNG fuel plants planned to serve transport industry in Edmonton, Vancouver BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Two companies are teaming up to build liquefied natural gas plants in Edmonton and Vancouver to serve the transportation industry. In announcing their joint venture Tuesday, Ferus Natural Gas Fuels and ENN Canada Corporation said the plants will provide a cheaper and cleanerburning fuel to the trucking business. The fuel can also be used in the marine, rail, mining and oil and gas exploration industries. “The benefits of fuelling with natural gas are significant,” said ENN Canada CEO Henry Cai, whose company is a subsidiary of one of the biggest natural gas distributors in China. “Natural gas over diesel represents a 30-40 per cent cost savings to the end user and contributes up to a 25 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.” The plants will initially produce 100,000 U.S. gallons per day (379,000 litres) of LNG — natural gas that has been chilled into a liquid state, making it easier to transport. Ferus and ENN will pick sites for the plants within six months, with startup expected in 2016. The companies did not say how much their project would cost. Although natural gas is cheap and abundant in North America, it has been slow to catch on as a transportation fuel because of the lack of refuelling

infrastructure. That’s one of the biggest challenges, said Ferus CEO Dick Brown. “In order for our customers to make the switch to natural gas, they need certainty of an uninterrupted supply of LNG to fuel their equipment,” he said. “These two LNG liquefaction plants, along with the specialized distribution equipment and planned retail fuelling stations, will ensure that supply, which in turn will promote and facilitate the widespread usage of LNG in Western Canada.” Ferus is privately held by the Energy & Minerals Group, a management company for various specialized private equity funds. Ferus will oversee the design, engineering, construction, operation and marketing of the Edmonton and Vancouver facilities. ENN’s parent company has 150 LNG fuelling stations in China and the United States. ENN Canada plans to open five more in British Columbia and Ontario by the end of this year. It has committed to use a “significant” amount of LNG from the Vancouver and Edmonton plants in its network.

The S&P/TSX composite index ticked 15.46 points lower to 13,442.6 while the Canadian dollar fell 0.36 of a cent to 95.5 cents US. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development cut its 2014 forecast for global growth from four per cent to 3.6 per cent. The OECD cited U.S. fiscal uncertainty, the impact of the Federal Reserve tapering its asset purchases and weakness in emerging markets. U.S. markets were lower after indexes backed off Monday after hitting key technical levels, raising questions about whether American markets are due for their first serious retracement in two years. The Dow Jones industrials declined 8.99 points to 15,967.03, the Nasdaq fell 17.51 points to 3,931.55 and the S&P 500 index slipped 3.66 points to 1,787.87. Investors remained cautious a day after the Dow broke 16,000 and the S&P breached the 1,800 mark — both for the first time. The Dow alone has surged more than 20 per cent this year and is up about 900 points since early October amid optimism that the Federal Reserve won’t be moving to cut back on its monthly US$85 billion of bond purchases until well into the new year. The TSX is up about 8.5 per cent for the year so far, held back by the mining sector. Most other sectors have put in solid performances, particularly financials, energy companies and industrials — companies Nakamoto thinks will likely take the TSX higher. Commodity prices advanced and the energy sector was up 0.43 per cent as December crude on the Nymex moved up 31 cents to US$93.34 a barrel. Bankers Petroleum (TSX:BNK) ran up 13 cents to C$3.86. Niko Resources (TSX:NKO) surged 23.6 per cent to $1.78, recovering for a second day after plunging more than 50 per cent Friday after it said that it had secured a “very high cost,” $340-million loan to avoid defaulting on debt payments and other obligations.

The sector has been a major drag this year, plunging about 45 per cent as global inflation remains very low while economic conditions are gradually improving, making bullion less attractive as a hedge. Kinross Gold (TSX:K) advanced seven cents to C$5.18. The consumer sector was in focus Tuesday as Sears Canada Inc. (TSX:SCC) stock jumped $1.07 or 6.37 per cent to $17.87 as the retailer said that it will pay its shareholders an extraordinary dividend of $5 per share. Sears also posted a quarterly net loss of $48.8 million or 48 cents per share, mainly due to severance and restructuring costs. Food company George Weston (TSX:WN) posted earnings ex-items of $1.38 a share, seven cents shy of estimates. Its shares declined six cents to $80.85 as the company also said overall sales rose 2.1 per cent to $10.38 billion. The base metals sector weighed on the Toronto market, down 0.02 per cent as December copper edged up one cent to US$3.16 a pound. First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) fell 30 cents to C$18.55. In the U.S., Home Depot Inc. reported net income of US$1.35 billion, or 95 cents per share, up from $947 million, or 63 cents per share, a year ago. Analysts expected earnings of 89 cents per share. Revenue rose seven per cent to $19.47 billion from $18.13 billion. Wall Street had predicted $19.18 billion. Its shares gained 71 cents to $80.38. Shares in electric car maker Tesla (Nasdaq:TSLA) ran ahead $4.51 to $126.09 even as the U.S. government’s auto safety watchdog opened an investigation into battery fires in its Model S electric cars. The probe affects more than 13,000 cars from the 2013 model year that were sold in the U.S. Tesla has sold about 19,000 of the cars worldwide. Traders are looking to the release Wednesday of the minutes from the latest Fed meeting held late last month for hints about when the central bank might start cutting back on its asset purchases, which have kept bond yields low and encouraged people to buy equities.

Canadian home prices in for soft landing, overvalued by 26 per cent: Fitch Ratings THE CANADIAN PRESS Sky high prices in the Canadian real estate market won’t be climbing for much longer, says a report by global rating agency Fitch Ratings. The agency forecasted Tuesday that home prices across the country are in for a “soft landing” and will either flatten out or slightly decrease over the next five years. It estimates that current prices are overvalued by up to 26 per cent in some regions and could fall by as much as 10 per cent in some places. Fitch Ratings said the Canadian economy will be exposed when this happens, as many homebuyers have financially stretched themselves to borrow for their home purchase and will be in for a shock once interest rates start to climb. It noted a downturn in the housing sector will also impact jobs, as companies have scrambled to build new homes and push construction to record levels in recent years. “With a high level of employment and individual net worth tied to the value of the housing stock, a housing downturn could have serious consequences for the overall economy,” it warned in the 12-page report. Fitch Ratings said home prices have surged more than 130 per cent since 2001, outpacing income growth by more than 80 per cent. Despite the anticipated decline, the agency said there are several factors that will lessen the impact on the Canadian economy, including the overall low levels of

unemployment and proactive government policy. In July 2012, federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty introduced tighter rules for mortgage lenders and borrowers — a change that industry says accounted for a slowdown in residential property sales that began the following month and continued through the first part of 2013. The efforts were aimed at avoiding a housing crisis like the one seen in the United States. Although the policies have been successful at moderating mortgage debt, Fitch Ratings says housing prices still continue to rise. “Government awareness has appeared to be high, and if the proactive policies specifically targeting a soft landing are successful, then flattening growth or modest decline scenarios become increasingly likely,” it said. Meanwhile, another report released Tuesday by the Conference Board of Canada also predicted that the housing market will be shielded from a hard landing. “A crash would require a significant negative surprise like an interest rate spike or employment collapse. Since no such shock is in the cards in Canada, a housing crash like the one in the U.S. is nowhere near a possibility,” said Robin Wiebe, a senior econo-

mist at the board’s centre for municipal studies. Its Autumn Metropolitan Housing Outlook found that stability in the housing sector is can be attributed to supply continuing to be in line with demographics. Last week, the Canadian Real Estate Association reported that home resales dipped in October for the first time since February, which some saw as a sign that the housing market is in for a correction. Transactions fell 3.2 per cent in October from September on a seasonally adjusted basis. But the number was also an 8.2 per cent hike compared with October 2012, when home sales dropped following a tightening of federal mortgage rules. The association’s national home price index also rose 3.52 per cent from October 2012 and the national average price for homes sold in October was $391,820, up 8.5 per cent from a year earlier. Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary were responsible for much of the increase in the national home price last month. If they were taken out of the equation, the average price was up 4.9 per cent rather than 8.5 per cent. CREA also said that the hottest markets in Canada so far in 2013 have been Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver.

Half of Canadian homeowners say they’ll be in debt in retirement BY THE CANADIAN PRESS About half of Canadian homeowners recently polled believe they’ll still be in debt by the time they retire. A survey released Tuesday from Manulife Bank found that 49 per cent are confident they’ll still have some debt in retirement, including mortgages, compared with 51 per cent who say they anticipate being debt-free at that stage. More than half (57 per cent) of those surveyed admitted that they were disappointed with the way they’ve managed their debt and day-to-day financ-

es in the past year, even though more than three-quarters say being debtfree remains one of their top financial priorities. The poll also found that the homeowners cite many strategies for tackling their debt. Sixty-one per cent say they make extra payments on their debts, while two thirds say they always pay their credit card balance in full. Forty-three per cent say they have created a written budget to track their spending, while about a quarter don’t have any strategy at all but plan to come up with one in the new year.

Not looking at the numbers WYATT JOHNSON HAS GIVEN THE REBELS SOME OFFENSIVE PUNCH THE LAST TWO GAMES BUT HIS ONLY CONCERN IS HELPING THE TEAM GET THE WINS BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR He’s not a numbers guy, but more of a team player. Red Deer Rebels second-year forward Wyatt Johnson notched the overtime winner Saturday in a 4-3 WHL conquest of the host Lethbridge Hurricanes, a mere 24 hours after picking up a pair of assists in a 4-2 home-ice win over the Moose Jaw Warriors. The productive two-game stretch increased his totals to three goals and five helpers on the season, but who’s counting? Apparently, he isn’t. “It’s nice to contribute offensively but I think the bigger picture is we got two wins on the weekend. That’s always the main thing,” said Johnson, who hopes to help the Rebels extend their winning streak to five games tonight when the Kootenay Ice visit the Centrium. The 18-year-old centre, acquired from the Vancouver Giants in August of last year, scored 10 goals and recorded 20 points in 56 games as a WHL

rookie last season, and is confident he can better that total this winter. But, at the same time . . . “You always want to improve as a player, but numbers in that sense aren’t that big of a concern just as long as the team is sucWyatt Johnson cessful,” he said. Johnson and linemates Vukie Mpofu and Meyer Nell rang up a total of six points over the last two games. “We’ve been playing well together. We had some good practices last week leading into the games,” said Johnson. “We’ve just been controlling the puck down low, getting pucks in deep and playing our roles. We’re providing energy and getting chances because of that.” After a 10-game stretch in which the Rebels won just twice, the club is back

on track and reached the .500 mark at 11-11-0-1. The bottom line, Johnson noted, is that the players have finally bought into what the coaching staff has been preaching all along. “He (GM/head coach Brent Sutter) was on us about playing a certain style,” said the Saskatoon product. “We had to get back to how we need to play to be successful and I think that’s a big part of why we’re winning now. “Hard work is always the biggest thing. We’ve been working harder and we’ve been more committed to the systems . . . just outworking teams.” Johnson said he and his teammates never lost faith in themselves during the darkest times of the last five weeks. “We always had that inner confidence, we knew the type of team we could be,” he said. “But yeah, winning the last four games and turning it around has been nice. Our confidence has just continued to grow and we’re confident we’ll keep it going.” Rebels associate coach Jeff Truitt is appreciative of the recent offensive contributions made by the club’s bot-

tom six skaters. “You take a look at the guys in the third- and fourth-lines spots, they’ve really contributed over the last three or four games and I think that’s really helped the turnaround here as far as getting into the win column,” said Truitt. “They’re very important pieces of the puzzle. Depth is a big thing and when those guys are going — and they’re contributing now — it sure makes it nice to be able to roll four lines.” Johnson, Truitt noted, is a prime example of an effective two-way player. “He’s very responsible, especially in the defensive end of the ice, but it’s also nice to see him getting some points and contributing offensively,” said the coach. “It makes the game more fun when you know you can play at the other end too and contribute.” Tonight’s game is the first of three in four nights for the Rebels, who will host the Regina Pats and Prince George Cougars Friday and Saturday. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Oilers put beating on Blue Jackets PERRON’S FOUR POINTS LEADS EXPLOSION OF GOALS FOR SECOND STRAIGHT WIN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Oilers 7 Blue Jackets 0 EDMONTON — David Perron had a career high four-point night with two goals and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers experienced an offensive explosion on Tuesday, blasting the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-0 to record a rare home win for their second victory in a row. Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk only needed 14 saves to record his first shutout of the season. Jordan Eberle, Ryan Smyth, Nail Yakupov, Taylor Hall and Justin Schultz also scored for the Oilers (6-122), who improved to just 2-7-0 at Rexall Place in Edmonton this season. Edmonton was 2-9-1 in its previous 12 games before putting together just its second back-to-back win this year. The Blue Jackets (7-11-3) have lost in four of their last five and nine of their last 11 games. The Oilers started the scoring twoand-a-half minutes into the opening period as the rebound on a Corey Potter point shot came to Eberle at the side of the net and he had a wide-open cage to deposit it into before Columbus starter Sergei Bobrovsky could get across. Edmonton came into the game with

The Oilers had been outscored 23-3 in their previous six home games, continued on to equal that goal output in the first period alone thanks to a pair of power-play goals. Edmonton made it 2-0 with eight minutes remaining in the first as Perron intercepted a pass with his skate and shifted it to his stick for a quick shot and then swooped in to deposit the rebound for his sixth of the season. Four minutes later, the Oilers had a rare three-goal lead, as Sam Gagner sent a pass through the crease and Smyth was able to bat it out of the air and in. Edmonton had 15 shots in the first, while the Blue Jackets only mustered three shots on Dubnyk. The Oilers took a 4-0 lead eight-and-

a-half minutes into the second as the puck came to Perron off of a face-off win by Boyd Gordon and he picked the top corner with a shot from a bad angle for his third goal in the last two games. Curtis McElhinney came in to replace Bobrovsky, who allowed four goals on 18 shots. It didn’t take long for the Oilers to get one past the back-up goalie either, as Perron made a terrific play to intercept a clearing attempt on an Edmonton power play and got a shot on net, with Yakupov following up to score his fourth of the season on the rebound with nine minutes to play in the second. Columbus had its best chance of the game to that point less than a minute later as Ryan Johansen got in tight on the Edmonton net, but Dubnyk made a good play to poke the puck away.

The offensive explosion continued for the Oilers with just under five minutes to play in the second as Justin Schultz joined the play on an odd-man rush and beat McElhinney with a shot high to the glove side. It was the 10th straight goal the Oilers had scored in less than a 60-minute span going back to a four-goal third period to defeat the Flames 4-2 in Calgary on Saturday. Edmonton was looking for more midway through the third but Gagner was unable to score his first goal of the season, sending a shot into a mostly empty net right on McElhinney who was down and doing snow angels in the crease on the play. The Oilers made it 7-0 with three minutes left as Eberle sent Hall in on a breakaway and he was able to score five-hole on the Jackets netminder.

Raiders roll to win over Lightning ADVANCE TO CENTRAL ALBERTA HIGH SCHOOL 4A VOLLEYBALL FINAL AGAINST NOTRE DAME for them once they got on a roll. “It was the expected outcome, but not the outcome I was hoping for. They got a couple of lucky breaks as the ball hit the tape and drop over and they made a few one-armed digs, but they’re good and they did what they had to.” The Raiders are healthy after playing much of the second half of the season without sixfoot-six left side Tanner Rehn, who had a back problem. “When Tanner tweaked his back our level of play didn’t drop,” said McMullen. “It may have been sort of a blessing in disguise as instead of leaning on Tanner everyone else had to pick up the slack and going forward that will only help us. Now with him back it’s even tougher for the other teams to match up against us. “It’s nice to have him back, but with a back you never know what can happen.” One player who used the extra work to continue to develop is six-foot-four Brian Grenier. The Grade 12 power hitter was almost unstoppable Tuesday. “Brian has done a lot of work since he started in JV,” said McMullen. “This year he came into his own and has improved himself in terms of passing and serving. He also developed a good line shot and an off-hand shot in his hitting.” Grenier has been scouted by several colleges and McMullen expects him to play at

He didn’t have to worry as the Raiders were at the top of their game rolling to a 25-16, 25-19,25-13 victory at LTCHS Tuesday and advancing to the best-of-three final against the Notre Dame Cougars. “This week at practice we concentrated on playing hard and doing what we needed to do and we did exactly that,” he said. “Hunting Hills is a good team, but when we execute and play our level we’re a very tough team to beat. We did that tonight and made it hard on them.” The Raiders, have the talent and experience to play with any team in the province. They were ranked No. 1 in the province for much of the season, before slipping into second behind Bev Facey of Sherwood Park on the latest rankings. “They’re a very strong team which is why they’re ranked so highly,” said Lightning head coach Dave McKeage. “We fought back at times tonight, but we didn’t have an answer

While the Raiders starting lineup is as good as any in the province they also have a strong bench. “The guys on the floor have earned their spots, but the others push them. It’s a whole team effort, which is nice to

see. We can make changes and not lose anything in terms of energy.” On the other side, the Lightning fought hard as well. “We’ve fought hard all season . . . we never gave up as a group,” said McKeage. “The guys should be proud of their season, we just came up against a very good team at the

2013 GREY CUP

Riders readying for different Hamilton team in the big game BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Hamilton TigerCats head coach Kent Austin is a figure that literally looms large over Mosaic Stadium, site of the 101st Grey Cup. That’s because a 21-metrehigh banner of Austin hangs outside the stadium, which is home to the Saskatchewan Roughriders football club. It’s a tribute to the quarterback who guided the Riders to the 1989 Grey Cup championship and was head coach when the green and white clinched the title in 2007. Austin left the Roughriders after the championship win and spent five years in the U.S. college ranks before becoming Hamilton’s head coach and general manager last December. Saskatchewan spoiled Austin’s return to Regina in the regular season with a 37-0 win over the Ticats in July. But Riders head coach Corey Chamblin says the Ticats are “a totally different team” now and Saskatchewan can’t take anything for granted in the Grey Cup on Sunday. “That’s the thing about it, it’s a very fresh challenge for us. Everything’s brand new,” Chamblin said at a news conference Tuesday. “They do so many different things from when we played them early in the season. They’ve totally changed... a lot of things that they’ve done and I’m sure (they think) the same thing when they look at us on film, so it’ll be a fresh game and it’ll be one of those where there’ll be a lot of adjustments throughout the course of that game.” Chamblin says one of the things the Riders did in the off season was look at how many coaching changes other teams had and try to catch them off guard early on. But he says Hamilton has grown together and gelled as a team. Hamilton heads into the Grey Cup game on a roll, having won 11 of its last 15 games, including

last week’s East Division final against 2012 Grey Cup champion Toronto. Chamblin, who spent the 2011 season as Hamilton’s defensive co-ordinator before becoming the Riders head coach in 2012, says he doesn’t see the game as a head-to-head challenge between coaches. “I enjoy that I don’t get the storylines he does, that puts more pressure on Kent,” joked Chamblin. “No, right now it’s the Hamilton Tiger-Cats versus the Saskatchewan Roughriders. I never make it an individual battle or anything like that. Kent’s a very good coach and he’s done a very good job with his football team. The same here.” “Ultimately it’s going to be two teams play in the Grey Cup,” he added. Riders quarterback Darian Durant agrees that they are preparing to face a completely different team, including his former Saskatchewan teammate and friend Andy Fantuz. “Those guys, there were missing some pieces when we played them earlier. You know, they had a bunch of young guys who were new to the CFL, didn’t know the game as much and now, they’re basically veterans,” Durant said at Mosaic Stadium. “They went on the road and they beat the defending Grey Cup champions, which says a lot, so you definitely have to make sure you’re ready and prepared for those guys.” The last time Saskatchewan and Hamilton faced each other in the Grey Cup was in 1989, when Austin was the quarterback. Saskatchewan won 4340 with a last-second field goal from Dave Ridgway. Durant is getting help from Saskatchewan offensive co-ordinator George Cortez, who was the head coach and director of football operations for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last season. The Grey Cup will also be a homecoming of sorts for Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris, who is a former Rider.

Great old Mosiac Stadium set to host its last championship BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — The stadium that was once home to CFL greats like George Reed, Ron Lancaster and Dave Ridgway is about to host its last championship. Mosaic Stadium, home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders football club, will host the 101st Grey Cup on Sunday. Sure, there will be more regular season games at Mosaic, possibly playoffs too, but no more championships. The stadium will be torn down when a new facility is ready for the 2017 season. Former Roughrider Steve Mazurak says he has a lot of fond about memories “about this great old stadium.” “I was blessed with the fact that I was able to be a teammate of Ron Lancaster and George Reed,” said Mazurak, who played wide receiver and slotback from 1973 to 1981. “To share a huddle with them and to stand there and go ’OK, there’s Ronny Lancaster, he’s reading a play and he’s actually calling my number,’ that gives me goosebumps right this very second.” Former offensive lineman Gene Makowsky says the stadium holds a special place in his heart too. Makowsky, who played for the Riders from 1995 to 2011, says the Labour Day matchups between Saskatchewan and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were always a lot of fun. “The one memory I think that stands out is certainly the ’07 Labour Day Classic. Certainly, the playoff games are the big games, but I still for some reason just remember the last drive by (former Rider quarterback) Kerry Joseph in the ’07 Labour Day Classic,” Makowsky said in an interview in front of the stadium. “It was a big game between

Steve Mazurak, former Saskatchewan Roughrider and now the team’s vice-president of sales is shown in Regina on Oct. 31. The stadium that was once home to CFL greats like George Reed, Ron Lancaster and Dave Ridgway is about to host its last championship. two teams that were vying for first place and it was huge play. He ran 30 yards untouched in the endzone and the crowd just went wild. It was just amazing.” Mosaic Stadium last hosted the Grey Cup 2003 when the Edmonton Eskimos beat the Montreal Alouettes in front of 50,909 fans. Mosaic sits in an area of Regina known as North Central, near downtown. The stadium, that originally started as a rugby field in 1910, is known for wind that, as Mazurak says, will “knock your socks off” and old wooden bench-style seating. It has undergone several upgrades over the years and extra seats have been added in the endzones for Grey Cup. “But way back in the day, that what was we called ‘Hemorrhoid Hill.’ And so if there was an overload of

crowd, they would put them on that hill and people would sit on the grassy knoll at the south end of Mosaic Stadium, of course then it was Taylor Field,” Mazurak said in an interview on the field. “If the stands were full and the grassy knoll was full, then they would line people up along the sidelines here.” Mosaic was place where Mazurak would go as a nineyear-old boy to watch the Riders and sit on rickety wooden benches in the north endzone, “probably for less than a $2 bill,” he said. It was later the place where he played high school and junior football before becoming a Rider. “(It has) a lot of warm feelings of fuzziness with me,” said Mazurak, who is now the team’s now vice-president of sales and corporate partnerships.

Grey Cup berth a sweet one for veteran quarterback Burris Henry Burris is thrilled to have delivered Hamilton Tiger-Cats fans their first Grey Cup berth since 1999. But now the 38-year-old quarterback can give his youngest son, four-year-old Barron, the opportunity to learn about the Cup’s rich history. “I asked Barron on Thursday night when we were talking, ‘Do you know what the Grey Cup is,’ and he was like, ‘Daddy, no, I don’t know what it is,” Burris said. “When he said that, I almost went to tears.” Barron Burris will be able to experience it all first-hand, thanks in large part to his father. Henry Burris threw for 371 yards and three TDs to rally Hamilton to a wild 36-24 win over the Toronto Argonauts in the East Division final Sunday. The Ticats will face the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Grey Cup on Sunday in Regina. Burris’s oldest son Armand had the chance to experience a Grey Cup in ’08 when Burris led the Calgary Stampeders to the CFL championship. But Barron wasn’t yet born so this will be his first Grey Cup experience. Forget about the huge diamond ring or $16,000 winner’s share, seeing his youngest son soak it all in and being there to experience it with him is

priceless for Burris. “It’s all about giving your children and family an experience they’ll never forget,” Burris said after Sunday’s win, his voice cracking with emotion. “They go through all the sacrifices, being in the stands when people are getting after you saying all types of things about their Daddy, this is what it’s all about at the end of the day. “I told him I wanted to help make his dream come true for him one day and here we are now. This is truly amazing.” Rallying Hamilton from a 24-10 deficit against Toronto also exorcised some demons for Burris. Named the CFL’s outstanding player in 2010 with Calgary, Burris was replaced as starter the next year and dealt to Hamilton. Although Burris enjoyed the best season of his career in 2012 the Ticats struggled, posting a 6-12 record. The challenges continued in 2013 with a new head coach (Kent Austin), several new faces on the roster and the Ticats having to play all of their home games in Guelph, Ont., while a new stadium is being built. But Burris again led the CFL in passing as Hamilton posted a 10-8 record to finish second in the East and is off to the Grey Cup after stirring playoff wins over Montreal and Toronto. After Hamilton’s wild comeback win

over the Argos, Burris bent down and pounded the Rogers Centre turf furiously. “It just seemed like all the demons of the past four years, what an organization threw at me and all the people have thrown at me, I was just letting

them go,” Burris said. “I was pounding them into the ground. “To be able to come to another organization and help them rise from what we did a year ago to turn into a Grey Cup calibre team, this is what you dream about.”

Rescue dog kennel shut down

WOLVERINE TALK

WAS WITHOUT PERMIT, DREW NOISE COMPLAINTS BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer County resident is crying foul because his daughter’s kennel for rescue dogs is being shut down. The kennel came to the municipal planning commission’s attention after a neighbour complained that it was set up without a development permit. On review, the county found the kennel, located about 25 km east of Penhold, didn’t meet setback requirements and recommended that relaxation of those limits be denied. After some debate, the commission voted on Tuesday to deny the relaxation, but also to deny the kennel a development permit. Commission members noted that the kennel had drawn complaints about barking from neighbours.

Mayor Jim Wood said that while a kennel is a permitted use on agricultural land, it is important that businesses do not affect neighbours’ rights to enjoy their property. There are better locations for that type of business elsewhere in the county, he said. Wood said he liked the cause — rescuing dogs and finding new homes for them — but didn’t believe it was a good fit for that neighbourhood. Coun. Richard Lorenz also voted to deny a development permit. He has had dog problems on his farm previously and said it is difficult for landowners to police those situations. The sole vote in favour of allowing the kennel to continue, at a different location on the property, was Coun. Philip Massier. He noted that since the owners were made aware of requirements to keep the dogs indoors overnight, noise complaints had dropped.

Frustrated kennel property owner Mike Kogovsek said he was willing to move the kennels to meet setback requirements. But the planning commission had no right to shut down the operation, which is permitted under agricultural zoning, he argued. “For them to say even the kennel is not permitted — they are not allowed to do that. It is zoned agriculture. “What just happened in there is they have no idea what they’re doing — the new council in there.” Most of the barking was caused by neighbours’ dogs running free and coming on to their property and annoying the rescue dogs, he said. The kennel has been operated by his daughter Keshia Kogovsek for two years. She has rescued about 50 dogs since then and found good homes for them. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

The two ski trail volunteers were working along with Larry Pimm and Richard Townell to fill in some thin spots of on the trail at Heritage Ranch so ski trails could be groomed in. With about 60 cm. of snow falling on Red Deer in the month of November area ski trails at Great Chief Park, Heritage Ranch and River Bend Golf and Recreation Area are in fantastic early season skiing condition.

A developer will not be allowed to add more homes to a proposed development near Delburne. Red Deer County council unanimously rejected an application to amend an area structure plan to boost the number of homes in the Kerry Meadows development to 33 from 28. Half a dozen property owners near the proposed development on 107 acres three km northwest of Delburne appealed to council to turn down the new plan, arguing it would cause traffic and could create conflicts with neighbouring farms.

County funds group Students operate overseeing Sylvan Lake school’s ATB branch BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer County has approved providing $10,000 to the Sylvan Lake Management Committee. The committee had requested $15,000 from the county, based on its 25 per cent share of the municipality-led group’s proposed $60,000 operating budget. Most of the budget — up to $50,000 — was to be used to hire a part-time co-ordinator to oversee a cumulative effects study underway. In approving $10,000, the county follows the lead of Lacombe County council, which last week also approved a similar amount, pared down from a $15,000 request. The Town of Sylvan Lake recently approved the full $15,000. Red Deer County Coun. Richard Lorenz, who has been the county’s representative on the management committee for the past three years, said it is doing useful work. The committee wants to hire a co-ordinator to act as project manager for a management system for the lake. Also part of the co-ordinator’s duties will be to develop a baseline report for the lake, a plan to maintain water quality and to report regularly to the municipalities that make up the committee, including

the Town of Sylvan Lake, Lacombe and Red Deer Counties and five summer villages. Funding was to be split between all with the town and two counties paying 25 per cent each and the rest divided among the summer villages. Red Deer County deferred a decision on Tuesday to appoint a representative to a subcommittee of the Sylvan Lake Watershed Stewardship Society that is looking at reducing noise pollution on the lake. Members of the subcommittee plan to identify the sources of noise pollution and create an action plan to tackle the issue. Nancy Lougheed, the county’s legislative services manager, said boating is a federal responsibility and there are few alternatives available at the municipal level to deal with those kinds of issues. Ric Henderson, assistant county manager, said municipalities can ask the federal government to impose boating restrictions but it is an “onerous process” and they must show that all other alternatives have been explored. Council opted to refer the request back to administration to get more information on what the stewardship society is planning and whether any costs will be involved. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

The newest bank to open up in Red Deer has very limited hours. After all, it’s employees have classes to attend and recesses to enjoy. That bank is the Central Cyclone Junior ATB, located in Central Middle School. It operates just like a regular ATB branch, except for the fact that it’s run by Grade 6 students. The branch was opened on Friday, and every few weeks at the school there will be “branch days” where students with existing ATB accounts can deposit their hard-earned dollars right at the school. The board of directors, also made up of middle school pupils, will organize activities all students can participate in. ATB Financial employees run an extracurricular banking club at the school, and the new bank is an extension of that group. Students from the group applied for positions within the bank or on the board and were interviewed and selected for positions best suited to them. “The Grade 6s who are involved in the bank are really

excited,” said vice-principal Diane Roberts, “It’s something fun for them to do and I think they like that it’s real life, giving them some skills.” The partnership is the first of its kind in Red Deer, although programs have existed in Sylvan Lake and Lacombe. Last year, 18 ATB branches operated similar setups in schools in their communities. Red Deer ATB branch manager Darlene Proctor said the program has many benefits, primary among them teaching students the value of money and saving. By going through the process of applying for positions, taking part in meetings, and making decisions on funding projects, she added that students gain employability skills. As part of the initiative, ATB gave $500 to the board of directors for it to dole out for special projects at the school. Teachers will be able to apply to the board for grant money for their projects.

Under-25 liquor enforcement boosted

Man hunted in Eckville robberies

The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission is seeking to increase compliance and keep liquor away from minors as part of its “commitment to the responsible sale and service of liquor.” The commission announced plans to bolster its enforcement of the Under -25 policy on Friday. As the legal drinking age in Alberta is 18, the under-25 policy requires licensees to ask for proof of age from anyone who appears to be under 25. In place since 1994, this policy aims to reduce or eliminate situations where minors attempting to purchase or consume liquor are not asked for identification. The commission has been conducting regular scheduled audits since 2002. Now there will be random audits with no prior warning to licensees, said Tatjana Laskovic, spokesperson for AGLC. The AGLC is also being “more stringent with industry workers who are found in violation of liquor legislation and related policies by requiring them to retake the ProServe training.” AGLC will continue its efforts for safe environments, which include public awareness campaigns such as Every Drink Counts, training industry workers through programs like ProServe and ProTect, and legislative and policy measures such as limits on happy hours.

Civic leaders to meet in Calgary

County waives taxes to flood victims

Newly elected civic leaders will gather in Calgary over three days to discuss issues affecting municipalities in the province. The annual Alberta Urban Municipalities Association convention starts today and wraps up on Friday in Calgary. Red Deer will have three resolutions on the table: on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power generation, increasing the threshold for non-injury collision and expanding the provincial recycling program.

Red Deer is about to enter into talks with the Edmonton Combative Sports Commission to oversee the events in the city.

Red Deer County council has waived more than $500 in tax penalties for ratepayers impacted by June’s floods. In one case, company officials couldn’t get to their downtown Calgary office to do the paperwork to meet the county’s June 30 deadline. Another couple missed the deadline because they weren’t allowed into their High River home where their invoice and computer was. Another couple was stranded in B.C. by a highway closure and missed the deadline. The total amount listed in a report to council was $531.11, although it has since gone up a little because additional penalties were tacked on as of Nov. 1. Council voted unanimously to waive the penalties. The overdue taxes have all long since been paid. Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths encouraged Alberta municipalities to have a heart in a letter sent in July. “I would encourage you to evaluate your current situation and consider using your legislative authority to provide leniency through the deferral or cancellation of tax penalties for late property tax payments to those property owners who may have been

Former bunker site to be redeveloped A former Diefenbunker site turned golf course in Springbrook is to be developed as a commercial site. Bill Woof, owner of the 23-acre slice of land at the entrance to Springbrook west of Hwy 2A, said he hasn’t got any firm plans as to what will go there yet but sees potential for something nice. On Tuesday, Red Deer County council approved Woof’s application to redesignate the property from commercial recreation district to highway commercial district. The site was once home to one of two fallout shelters built in the 1960s to shield government officials in case of nuclear attack. Sold off following the closure of CFB Penhold, the federal government eventually bought the bunkers back

Lorne Keeping, an adjacent landowner, said the area structure plan will infringe on wetlands important for waterfowl breeding and as a stopover for migrating birds. Bill Craig had concerns about the potential impact from 28 water and septic systems on neighbouring properties. The county approved an area structure plan and rezoning for a 28-lot subdivision in 2008. That approval is still in place and developers can proceed with that development even if its amended plan is turned down by council.

Benalto’s historic train station project and a Sunnybrook Farm Museum school restoration were among more than a dozen projects to get big funding boosts from Red Deer County on Tuesday. Just under $28,000 was given to the Benalto group that moved its historic train station back home in April to form the centrepiece of a park. Built in 1928 for the Canadian

Pacific Railway, it will be the prime attraction in Centennial Station Park, which will feature a gazebo, benches and landscaping to make it a village hub. The county’s cash will go towards moving the train station on to foundations. It was among 14 projects receiving funding from the county’s $250,000 Rural Community Facility Capital Assistance Grants program. Grants ranged from $56,500 for kitchen renovation at Pine Lake’s The Hub Community Association to $2,105 for a new wa-

Premier to open Cancer Centre The new $46-million Central Alberta Cancer Centre opens today in Red Deer. Premier Alison Redford and other politicians are expected to attend the grand opening at 11 a.m. at the 3942 50A Ave. location. The expanded centre boasts more than 4,000 square metres — four times the size of Red Deer’s existing cancer facility — and will handle breast, lung, prostate, bladder and gastrointestinal cancer and cases, as well as palliative patients with bone pain or other chronic discomforts who need symptom relief.

Mayor Jim Wood said the older plan, with its lower density and walking trails, better fits the county’s approach to residential development as laid out in the municipal development plan (MDP) updated last year. “I like the original (area structure plan) better than the one that is proposed,” he said. Coun. Philip Massier held a similar view. “In my mind, (the amended plan) is moving further away from our current MDP.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Fingers, toes that go dead white in cold could be sign of Raynaud’s: doctors cause women are far more likely to develop autoimmune diseases, Bernatsky says. For instance, 90 per cent of lupus patients are female. Attacks can affect just one or two fingers or toes, and the compromised digits aren’t always the same from one episode to the next, says the Mayo Clinic on its website. Although Raynaud’s most commonly strikes the fingers and toes, it can also cause other areas of the body — such as the nose, lips, ears and even nipples — to go numb and change colour, with attacks lasting less than a minute up to several hours. For most people, Raynaud’s is more a nuisance than a threat to health, but it can limit a person’s activities, Bernatsky says. “Even just waiting for the bus — a lot of people have to take public transport and that is not always such a pleasant experience. You can try to dress up really well, but sometimes it’s hard to be comfortable. “And for those people who get it year-round, it’s quite annoying that you always have to think about how to dress,” she says, explaining that even going into an air-conditioned shopping mall from the summer heat can trigger an attack in some people. Richard, who can have three or four episodes a day, says she has had to leave malls and restaurants on occasion when too-cold air-conditioning brings on an attack, and she has to remember to cover her hands when reaching into the freezer for food. “Even if it’s a summer day and I’m biking, sometimes with the wind it’s cold and the temperature changes, so I always wear thin gloves,” Richard says. When outside in frigid winter temperatures, she says her toes can be numb to the point of feeling dead. “You’re walking on them, but ... they’re like stumps or something.”

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS When Michelle Richard was in her teens, she noticed the tip of one finger would periodically feel cold, turn dead white and then go a purplish-red colour. “I would keep rubbing it until it got warm again and the blood started returning again to the finger,” says Richard, 48, of Halifax, who thought the blanching of her finger might have been a long-term effect of frostbite from childhood. But by the time she was in her mid30s, the sudden loss of colour and feeling had encompassed all her fingers and toes, and she found out her condition had a name — Raynaud’s disease. In her case, it was linked to the development of an autoimmune disease called scleroderma, which causes a hardening of skin and connective tissues, and in some people can affect blood vessels and internal organs. Raynaud’s also affects blood vessels, specifically the small arteries that supply blood to the skin in the extremities, causing them to constrict and cut off normal flow. It’s likely Richard’s adolescent experience was due to so-called primary Raynaud’s disease, a stand-alone condition unrelated to another disorder, which often begins between ages 15 and 30. Secondary Raynaud’s, also called Raynaud’s phenomenon, occurs in the presence of such autoimmune diseases as scleroderma, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. “If I’m having an attack, people will say, ‘Oh my God, what’s wrong with your hands?”’ says Richard. “And certainly when they start to come back and you’ve got that bluish-red (colour), it almost looks like your hands are bruised.” Doctors aren’t sure why some people are prone to the disorder, but it

Michelle Richard holds up her hands at her home in Halifax. Richard has painful condition called Raynaud’s disease, which causes her fingers and hands to transform colour from completely white, to blue and then red after exposure to a sudden change in temperature. isn’t caused by frostbite. There may be a genetic component and it’s more common among those who live in cold climates. Smoking, which constricts blood vessels, is also considered a contributor. Episodes of Raynaud’s are typically triggered by exposure to cold temperatures, says Dr. Sasha Bernatsky, a rheumatologist at McGill University Health Centre in Montreal. “The colour change means decreased blood flow to the digits, so that will sometimes mean unpleasant sensations, possibly pain or feeling very cold,” she says. “The whole experience is due to these blood vessels that are oversensitive in a way and tend to con-

strict far more quickly and far more vigorously than we normally would see. “Classically, it’s cold, but anything that constricts the blood vessels, like stress, could perhaps bring on symptoms.” Certain jobs, such as those requiring repetitive use of jackhammers that expose the hands to intense vibration, can also lead to the development of the disease, as can vigorous or prolonged periods of playing the piano. There are no official statistics on how many Canadians have Raynaud’s, although the disorder is considered common. More women than men appear to have the disorder, in part be-

DALLAS — New research raises serious questions about a very common medical procedure — placing a stent to prop open a narrowed kidney artery. A study found that people treated with these stents plus various heart drugs fared no better than people treated with medicines alone. “Doctors are doing this procedure in the absence of good clinical evidence” and that should stop, at least for patients like those in this study, said Dr. Robert Harrington. He is a Stanford University cardiologist and program chief for the American Heart Association’s scientific conference, where the study was discussed on Monday. Stents are tiny mesh scaffolds pushed into narrowed, hardened arteries to help keep them open. They are widely used and known to help treat clogged heart arteries, but their value for some other types of blood vessels is less clear. Narrowed kidney arteries plague 1 to 5 per cent of people with high blood pressure, and as many as 7 per cent of all people over age 65. The problem can cause high blood pressure or make it worse, which raises the risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. Stents seemed to be a reasonable thing to try to keep blood flowing to the kidneys, and at least 40,000 of these operations are done each year in the United States alone. Two previous studies surprisingly found no benefit, but many doctors disregarded those results because the patients had relatively mild blockages. The new study tested stents in people who had lost more than half of the normal diameter of the artery because of built-up plaque in the blood vessel’s wall.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GENEVA — An enormous diamond known as The Pink Star sold for more than $83 million at auction recently, far surpassing its expected price. Sotheby’s says the sale the vivid and flawless 59.60-carat pink diamond is the highest price ever paid for a gemstone at auction. Prior to the sale to the successful bidder, representing an anonymous buyer, the diamond was estimated to fetch more than $60 million. The bidding opened above $52 million, and it closed with the playing of the Pink Panther movie’s theme music. The exact sale price of The Pink Star was 76.325 million Swiss francs, or $83.425 million. It had been introduced prior to the bidding as “one of the most remarkable gems ever to appear at auction.” The diamond is graded as a Type IIa, a rarity for a pink diamond, and it took Steinmetz Diamonds two years to cut it to form from a 132.5-carat rough diamond. It was first shown publicly in May 2003 as the Steinmetz Pink, then sold privately for the first time in 2007 when it was renamed The Pink Star. The sale in Geneva came a day after the largest fancy vivid orange diamond ever sold at auction went for $35.5 million at a Christie’s auction. The auctions at Geneva’s lakeside hotels draw well-heeled buyers from around the world seeking expensive jewels, artwork, wine and watches.

Stepmother tired of supporting daughter Dear Annie: When I married my husband, he was divorced with a college-aged daughter. For some reason or other, she did not complete her degree. After college, “Connie” got a job and her own apartment. She became pregnant by a coworker and had a son. Her dad and I were very disappointed. Later, Connie moved to another state and had two more children with the same man, but no marriage. Her dad and I supported her and paid her rent whenever she needed it. He advised her on the difficulties and disadvantages of raising children without marriage, but she didn’t listen. She moved back home three years before her father died. Her mother died two years later. My 57-year-old stepdaughter now lives in her mother’s house. Connie is on dialysis and lives on her disability income. I cook, clean and take her to the doctor. I also help with the bills. The problem is, I am now 70 and ready to retire and return to my hometown to spend time with my immediate family. My widowed sister has invited me to live with her.

He said he hopes to make enough money to pay off his mortgage. The group had its first big success with the Monty Python’s Flying Circus TV show, which ran from 1969 until 1974, winning fans around the world with its bizarre sketches.

The sixth member, Graham Chapman, died of cancer in 1989.

Monument honouring George Jones unveiled at Nashville cemetery NASHVILLE — A large monument honouring the late country singer George Jones has been unveiled at his Nashville gravesite and his widow has announced a college scholarship in his name. Fans of the singer who died in April at the age of 81 crowded about the cemetery site on Monday to see the memorial unveiled with his wife and other relatives present. The monument features a large arch with his best known song title, He Stopped Loving Her Today, inscribed in the stone under his name. It also features images of Jones and his widow, Nancy Jones, a guitar and his nickname, “The Possum.” Two benches are placed on either side of his grave for visiting fans. “All of his fans are really hardcore country music fans,” his widow said. “I think they deserve to come out and see something just a little different. They can sit on the bench and see their idol.” Nancy Jones told reporters that the singer began the design for the monument years ago, but it wasn’t complete when he died. She also said that she would be starting a scholarship at Middle Tennessee State University.

TORONTO — Canadian rock band Arcade Fire is getting heat for instituting a dress code for its upcoming North American arena tour. On the Ticketmaster pages hawking seats for the Montreal group’s upcoming tour, a note at the top of the page reads: “Please wear formal attire or costume.” The tour begins March 6 in Louisville and stops in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg before wrapping in Montreal on August 30. The band had made similar sartorial demands before a show in Montreal in September and in London earlier this month, when NME reported that frontman Win Butler told SATURD SATURDAY, RDAY, N NOV. OV. 1 16 6 the crowd: “To anyone Danc Da Dance nc n nce ce to iimpersonations mp perso errso e sona nati na tion tio ti on o ons ns of of ssuper uper upe up er llegends: egen eg e ds en d : who felt uncomfortable dressing up — I’m not Bee Gees Garth Brooks sorry.” Hank Williams Elvis The demand is garnerBeach Boys Buddy Holly ing some backlash, with online cultural magazine Members $10, Guests $15 Slate writing that the move is “presumptuous” and “an attempt to reinforce the band’s status as capital-A Artists.” Arcade Fire topped charts in Canada and the 2810 Bremner Ave. Phone 403-342-0035 U.S. with its double-disc

“I think that Vince usually has played a lot of men who are trying to figure it out,” said the Avengers and How I Met Your Mother actress, clad in a form-fitting blue dress. “He plays the frustration, the tryingto-figure-it-out guy so well.” Scott has high praise for Smulders’ performance, and she jokes that she was hired for the film due to her Canadian heritage, laughing: “I have this red phone with a Maple Leaf and Hollywood North just comes calling.” Scott says he didn’t have to change much in adapting Starbuck, noting that the biggest change was shifting the action to New York. The film was shot in Brooklyn, and Scott points out that the location change made sense for practical purposes too — where else could it be remotely believable that Wozniak could track down so many of his unintentional children?

Advocate columnist finds time to release sequel to book

bank admitted to over-using his apparently effective samples. With lovable Parks and Recreation oaf Chris Pratt offering unsolicited advice as his best friend/overwhelmed lawyer, Wozniak starts to forge a real connection with some of his offspring — leaving the typically glib Vaughn portraying an unusually earnest, chastened character. Canadian writer-director Ken Scott adapted the film from his own Frenchlanguage hit Starbuck. He said that in the very first meeting he had with Dreamworks executives — including Steven Spielberg — they had already dialled in on Vaughn as their lead. Given that Vaughn is onscreen in almost every scene of the film, Scott said the 43-year-old’s charisma was essential. Smulders, meanwhile, points out that it’s not too drastic a departure for the Wedding Crashers star.

Christmas in Central Alberta gets the early 1960s treatment in Harley Hay’s gently humourous and nostalgic new book. Another Time, Christmas in Parkvale is a sequel to 2010’s Finding Time. In this latest book, 10-year-old school buddies Smitty, Chip and Marty romp through December 1963, discovering love and creating may- Harley Hay hem. The romance plot line concerns a cute new girl who arrives in Grade 5 and threatens to create a rift between the childhood

friends. Like all of his stories, Hay said this one has roots in reality. He remembers an actual skate night from his childhood when he and his best friend each held hands with the new girl — at the same time. “We were vying for her attentions,” he recalled with a chuckle. Hay, an Advocate columnist, aimed to give his writing the quirky, vintage feeling of the film A Christmas Story, and hopes readers will enjoy his “80 per cent true” tales (with some embellishments) of growing up in a small town. Everyone interested in learning more about Another Time can attend a book party at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 29, at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. There will be a book signing, a short film by Hay, music by the group Triage, and a cash bar. Hay also plans to sign copies of the book from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, at Sunworks on Ross Street in Red Deer.

NOVAK Ladimer (Laddie) Louis Ladimer (Laddie) Louis Novak passed away on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at the age of 87 following an extended illness. He will be lovingly remembered by his dear friend, Anita Brown, his sister Elsie and his niece and nephew from Trenton, Ontario, and his many friends throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan. Laddie was born on August 17, 1926 in the Dodsland, Saskatchewan, area where his parents, Louis and Rose, Czech immigrants, farmed. He went to school in Winslow, travelling three miles by foot, horse, buggy, sleigh, or bicycle. The sport at school was ball; there was no ball or bat so all the children chipped in to buy one. He left school after completing Gr. 9 and began farming with his parents. Then in 1965 he made a trip to Czechoslovakia and married Lida Lanc the following year. They returned to Canada and continued farming with his parents. His father passed away in 1982 followed by his mother in 1987. Laddie and Lida divorced in 2000 and she returned to the Czech Republic. Laddie sold the farm and in 2002 decided to move to Red Deer, Alberta, since he had friends and acquaintances in the area. Until he took ill he enjoyed tending to his lovely house and yard, having coffee with friends, helping his neighbours, dancing, attending farm auctions, and collecting model farm equipment. He went on several cruise vacations and enjoyed returning to Saskatchewan for visits. His last year and a half was spent in the Red Deer Hospital and several local care facilities. Laddie will always be remembered as a good friend and neighbour and a caring individual who loved life. A Celebration of Laddie’s life will be held at the Memorial Presbyterian Church, Sylvan L a k e , A l b e r t a o n F r i d a y, November 22, 2013 at1:00 P.M.

Suicide bombings kill 23 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LEBANON

BEIRUT — Two suicide bombers detonated explosions outside the Iranian Embassy in a mainly Shiite district of the Lebanese capital on Tuesday, killing 23 people, including the Iranian cultural attache, apparently in retaliation for the Lebanese group Hezbollah’s support of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The bombings appeared to be another strike in an intensifying proxy battle over Syria’s civil war that is rattling its smaller neighbour Lebanon. An al-Qaida-linked Sunni extremist group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying more would follow unless the Iranian-backed Shiite Hezbollah withdraws fighters that have helped Assad’s military score key victories over Syrian rebels. The midmorning blasts hit the upscale neighbourhood of Janah, a Hezbollah stronghold, leaving bodies and pools of blood on the glass-strewn street amid burning cars. More than 140 people were wounded, officials said. A Lebanese security official said the first suicide attacker was on a motorcycle that carried two kilograms (4.4 pounds) of explosives. He blew himself up at the large black main gate of the Iranian mission, damaging the threestory facility, the official said. Less than two minutes later, a second suicide attacker driving a car rigged with 50 kilograms (110 pounds) of explosives struck about 10 metres (yards) away, the official said. He spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. The bombing was one of the deadliest in a string of attacks that have targeted Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon in recent months in a campaign of

strike in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq reek of petrodollars,” a Syrian government statement said, in a clear reference to oil-rich Gulf Arab countries. A Lebanese al-Qaida-linked group, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attacks, saying they would continue until Hezbollah withdraws its forces from Syria. The authenticity of the claim could not be independently verified, but it was posted on a militant website and on the Twitter account of Sirajuddin Zurayqat, a spokesman of the Azzam Brigades. The group is active in southern Lebanon and has issued claims in the past for rocket attacks into northern Israel. It has also claimed a July 2010 bombing of a Japanese oil tanker in the Persian Gulf and a 2005 rocket attack that narrowly missed a U.S. amphibious assault ship docked at Jordan’s Aqaba Red Sea resort. In 2011, the Obama administration added a senior member of the group, Saudi citizen Saleh al-Qarawi, to the list of global terrorists subject to U.S. sanctions. At the scene of the blasts, blood was puddled on the ground, and debris and tree limbs torn off by the blasts were scattered over the streets. AP video showed firefighters extinguishing flames from burning vehicles, bloodspattered streets and bodies covered with sheets on the ground. A woman in a black robe and headscarf, unable to stand, clutched a man, pleading with security forces for help. “Nader,” she wailed, crying out a man’s name. “Nader is missing.” Another man ran from the area, carrying a South Asian migrant worker limp in his arms.

Lebanese citizens carry a dead body, at the scene where two explosions have struck near the Iranian Embassy killing many, in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday.

State senator stabbed, son killed at home CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — State Sen. R. Creigh Deeds, the Democrats’ gubernatorial nominee four years ago, was stabbed Tuesday in his head and chest at his home, and his son died at the residence from a gunshot wound, police said. State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller wouldn’t say who stabbed Deeds or how his son was shot, but she did say authorities were not looking for any suspects. The senator, who also ran for attorney general in 2005, was hospitalized in critical condition. His condition was later upgraded to fair. After the stabbing, Deeds was able to walk away from his home to a nearby road in rural western Virginia and a cousin who was driving by happened to spot the senator, police said. They drove to the cousin’s home and an emergency call was placed from there. Inside the senator’s home in Millboro, authorities found Deeds’ 24-yearold son, Gus, suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite efforts by state troopers and first responders, he died there.

Geller said they were still trying to figure out motive and the sequence of events. “It’s a very complex investigation,” Geller said. She said police have been able to talk with the senator, but she wouldn’t reveal what he said. Deeds and his ex-wife, Pam, divorced shortly after the 2009 campaign. Deeds remarried last year but authorities would not say whether anyone else besides the senator and his son were in the home at the time of the attack. Deeds, a former Bath County prosecutor, was elected to the House of Delegates in 1991 and to the state Senate in 2001. Gus Deeds is one of the senator’s four adult children. He was studying music at the College of William and Mary, where he had been enrolled off and on since 2007, but withdrew last month, school spokesman Brian Whitson said. The college said he had a strong academic record. It did not say why he left. During Deeds’ bid for governor, his son took off a semester to join his dad on the campaign trail.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID, Spain — Spain’s National Court on Tuesday issued arrest orders for former Chinese president Jiang Zemin and four other officials as part of a probe into alleged genocide by China against Tibet. The court said it accepted arguments from Spanish pro-Tibet rights groups that international reports indicate the five may have had a role in the alleged genocide and should be questioned. The five also include former Prime Minister Li Peng; former security and police chief Qiao Shi; Chen Kuiyan, a former Communist Party official in Tibet; and Pen Pelyun, ex-family planning minister. None has been formally charged. China has previously described the investigation as interference in its affairs and called the claims “sheer fabrication.” Officials at the Chinese Embassy in Madrid did not immediately comment on the court’s decision. A woman who answered the phone at the embassy told an AP reporter to fax questions to the embassy, and there was no immediate response after the fax was sent. Former Chinese President Hu Jintao is also under investigation although his arrest has not been sought. When he was named in the probe, China’s Foreign Ministry said the Tibetan issue was a Chinese matter, adding that it hoped Spain would handle this issue properly. Spain’s legal system recognizes the universal justice principle, under which genocide suspects can be put on trial outside their home country. The policy allowed former judge Baltasar Garzon to try to chase late al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. In practice, very few probes have seen people brought to trial in Spain. Meanwhile, the investigations have irked some countries, most notably China and Israel, and led to accusations that Spain was behaving like a global policeman.
