Snow policy revisited

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF All things snow will be up for debate at Red Deer city council on Tuesday.

Council will delve knee deep into the city’s new Integrated and Accessible Transportation policy, formerly the Snow and Ice Control policy.

The changes come following a winter of extreme weather conditions that smashed snowfall records across the province.

To date, the city has spent $5.6 million for 2014, more than $1 million over the $4.5 million budgeted, as a result of the unprecedented conditions.

The budget for 2015 will be set during upcoming budget talks.

Council will be asked to approve policy updates that reflect new triggers and targets for the snow and ice control, amend street land use bylaw to allow private contractors to remove windrows and amend traffic bylaw to allow movable signs for parking restrictions. The policy was revised last winter and tweaked this summer at the committee level.

Typically, the city plows residential areas once a season, in a 40-day window, and leaves a large windrow on one side of the street.

Because of the amount of snow and ice last winter, council directed crews to step outside policy and conduct two flat-blade campaigns within 20 days.

Small windrows were piled on both sides of residential streets.

Proposed revisions to policy will make flat-blade plowing standard, along with other tweaks.

Student guilty of uttering threats

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A 17-year-old student was convicted of uttering threats for leaving a “chilling and specific� note threatening to shoot staff and students at a Red Deer high school.

The boy, who cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Justice Act, was found guilty in Red Deer youth court on Thursday by provincial court Judge Jim Mitchell.

The student left a note written in pencil on a desk threatening to shoot staff and students at Hunting Hills High School at 3 p.m. on April 15, 2014, just prior to the start of the Easter long weekend. The note was written at some point during the day, but indicated a specific time for the shooting to take place.

Andre Phypers, the student’s lawyer, argued that the charge was lacking because the threat was not directed at a specific group.

Crown prosecutor Jordan Petty argued the staff

FORECAST ON A2

and students are a discernible group.

Mitchell agreed with Petty.

It was also argued that the threat was never intended to be fulfilled. However, Mitchell said that was irrelevant as the threat still caused concern and a heightened police presence.

Red Deer RCMP responded to the scene. Uniformed officers patrolled the halls and evacuated the school, not forcing people out but denying students and staff re-entry once they had left. After the school was emptied, police performed an extensive search but found no weapons.

Mitchell called the threat “chilling and specific� while delivering his decision.

He acknowledged that in the student’s statement to police he said he didn’t know why he left the note, but the judge didn’t accept that as a valid reason.

The student also indicated in the statement that he would never do anything like that. Mitchell said that was irrelevant to the charge.

Red Deer’s 2016 Memorial Cup promises many landmarks.

Not only will it be the first time in 42 years that major junior hockey’s holy grail has come to Alberta, it will mark the 50th anniversary of the Western Hockey League.

The same year, the Red Deer Rebels will celebrate their quarter-century anniversary. Not to be outdone, Westerner Park intends to salute its 125th anniversary, which technically takes place in 2015.

The Memorial Cup trophy was front and centre at a news conference at Westerner Park on Thursday morning attended by local dignitaries, WHL commissioner Ron Robison, and Rebels owner, general manager and head coach Brent Sutter and his entire squad wearing their maroon home jerseys.

Robison said Red Deer can expect some big things when a half-century of WHL hockey is celebrated. “We’re going to make it a very special season next year. We expect to use the MasterCard Memorial Cup as one of the centrepieces to celebrate our 50th season. “It’s going to be a very special event in 2016.�

Feeding that excitement will be the end of Alberta’s lengthy Memorial Cup hosting drought. “That brings it to another level in of itself,� said Robison.

The 10-day event is expected to pump $8 million to $10 million into the local economy, and give Red Deer and area the kind of exposure impossible to put a dollar figure on. “It has a very significant economic impact, and that would be sort of a moderate estimate at this stage.�

Given the province’s hot economy, the economic spinoffs could well exceed any early paper predictions.

As well, Memorial Cup communities enjoy plenty of legacies from their time in junior hockey’s brightest spotlight.

Volunteers come together, charitable contributions are made and local facilities are highlighted. “I think it really engages the community in so many ways that it will leave a lasting level of excitement that will probably lead really nicely into the (2019) Canada Winter Games,� he said.

SAVE DOOR-TO-DOOR

Canada Post postal service workers Brian Passhka, left, Cathy Beth, and Mars Bazrafshan attend a protest to save door-to-door mail service before a Conservative members event in Oshawa on Thursday.

Public works manager Greg Sikora said now when there is 10 cm of snow on the ground, the plows will go into neighbourhoods and trim it down to a five-cm snowpack within 15 days. The plows will not grade down to pavement. The city estimates this could be at least four times a year in a typical season.

There will also be changes to sidewalk and industrial area clearing.

Sikora said it was decided that the new policy

CUP: ‘Red Deerians love their hockey’ Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer called the Memorial Cup a “game changer in the life of our city.

“We know Red Deerians love their hockey,” she said, adding the successful bid is a sign that the community is primed for sports tourism.

Westerner Park vice-president Graham Heron said they are ready to show off their facilities, which have undergone numerous upgrades in recent years.

The Enmax Centrium added 1,000 seats, 13 luxury boxes and a 40-seat club suite last year as part of a $5.5-million expansion project. And over the summer, the sound system was improved.

Those kinds of investments have clearly paid off for the not-for-profit organization, said Heron, praising the city, county and province for help in bankrolling the expansion.

“With the space that we now have (and) with a large-scale event, it really demonstrates it’s a worldclass facility.

“In our opinion, it’s just been a fantastic investment and it’s paying dividends, and it will continue to pay dividends in 2016 and into 2019 when the Westerner will be part of the Canada Winter Games,” said Heron.

Brent Sutter predicted the Memorial Cup will be “the event in town in 2016,” and is looking forward to celebrating the 25th anniversary of his team.

The Rebels will unveil their celebration plans on their website as they are finalized. Ticket information, sponsorship and volunteer opportunities will also be posted. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

SNOW: Campaign coming on Oct. 30 LOTTERIES

THURSDAY Extra: 4173098 Pick 3: 068

Suspected drug trafficker Ahmed Nur was denied his right to speak to a lawyer for 10 hours as police conducted an investigation, his lawyer told court on Thursday.

Nur is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and is in the midst of a three-week trial.

Paul Moreau, his lawyer, told Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench that his client’s right to obtain and instruct counsel without delay according to section 10 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was denied during a 2011 investigation.

Earlier this week, testimony indicated that police were instructed to deny Nur access to a phone immediately after his arrest.

Const. Josh Matthies said this was done in the interest of police officer safety. He said they were obtaining warrants for residences and locations in Red Deer and that allowing Nur to use a phone could jeopardize officer safety when they went to execute the warrants.

This charter application, the second of the trial, would put the trial into its second voir dire — a trial within the main trial to determine if evidence is admissible.

The first voir dire closed on Thursday with more police testimony about observations during surveillance of a residence in the Johnstone neighbourhood of Red Deer. At issue in the first voir dire is whether police had a reason to arrest Nur and another male.

Moreau said police did not have proper grounds.

Crown Prosecutor Patricia Giroux will give her rebuttal arguments next week.

The trial continues on Friday with an expert on drug money expected to testify. would be broken down over two years in order to manage the changes to service and training for operators.

Council approved roughly $1.9 million in capital for new equipment, including plows. Sikora said the new equipment will be adequate for the two years.

“The triggers have been reduced,” said Sikora.

“We are starting sooner and the targets have been reduced on certain assets, which means we are getting it done quicker.”

The policy will return to council in another year for review.

The city was forced to open an Emergency Operations Centre and a third temporary snow storage site for private operators in order to handle the massive volumes of white stuff last winter.

The Edgar Snow Storage site, which reached an astounding height of 31 metres, took until the fall to melt.

The city received up to 500 calls for service and complaints a day, compared to the 70 to 85 calls a day received during a typical winter season.

On Oct. 30, the city will launch a new campaign to help residents understand what they can expect this winter from the snow and ice control program. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

In his ruling, Mitchell said the student had ample opportunity to remove the threat as it was writing in pencil.

Mitchell acknowledged that the student had been going through an emotionally rough period dealing with relationships and substance abuse. At the time, the boy had spoken with all the school counsellors and was actively seeking outside counselling. He was also taking drug and alcohol counselling.

Mitchell said it was clear the student needed someone to talk to and he had many troubles on his mind.

A pre-sentence report was ordered for the student

by Mitchell and sentencing was adjourned to Dec. 4. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Final bill for ‘Sky Palace’ rises

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The final price of shutting down former premier Alison Redford’s infamous “sky palace” rose higher Thursday — but the Opposition Wildrose party and the government locked horns over how much.

Wildrose member Kerry Towle announced Thursday that a freedom of information document search revealed a new bill of $930,000 for luxury elements to the proposed penthouse suite for Redford on a government building.

That’s five times the Progressive Conservative government’s original estimate of $173,000 in May. “The PCs have spent more money on the millwork in the sky palace than everyday Albertans make in a year,” said Towle at a news conference in front of the Federal Building, home of the penthouse.

The change orders include $45,000 for drapes, $43,000 for stone and porcelain wall and floor tiles, $25,000 for paint and vinyl wall coverings, and $97,000 for custom millwork.

There were change orders for Tyndall stone around doors and sills, canopy luminaires, landscape lighting, and ballistic doors and frames.

Infrastructure Minister Manmeet Bhullar and government officials disputed that number.

“In fact, associated costs were only $239,500,” said Bhullar in a statement, adding that the Wildrose has “incorrectly interpreted government documents and made allegations that mislead the public.”

The Wildrose provided line item documentation

to arrive at its estimate.

Bhullar’s office did not provide any data on how it reached the $239,500 number.

But in an interview, Neil McFarlane, the project director for government facilities, said while line items may have shown that material and work was linked to the penthouse, that was done for administrative convenience.

In reality, he said, the work and material was often spread out over other floors, and that the final number should be pro-rated.

“That’s a more realistic impact of cost,” said McFarlane.

He said the final estimate for construction costs was $101,000. When added to $138,500 for architectural and design fees, the final bill is $239,500.

That figure, however, is still higher than the $173,000 estimate provided to the legislature in May

by Ric McIver, who was infrastructure minister at the time.

McIver said that money was for the designs, and no mention was made of other costs.

On Thursday, McFarlane said that $173,000 figure was too high because it represented work done on the floor below the penthouse. The true number for the penthouse design he reiterated, was $138,500.

The dispute is the latest chapter in what has become a labyrinthine tangle of who knew what and paid for what and when on the penthouse.

The suite, near the legislature, is now being turned into meeting rooms, but critics still hold it up as the symbol of a government that has lost its way in excess and entitlement.

Work on the penthouse was ongoing in secret

before Redford, enmeshed in a scandal over lavish travel expenses, quit as premier in March.

Critics labelled it the “sky palace” because it was to be modelled after the five-star Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington D.C. There were to be bedrooms for Redford and her daughter, a shared bathroom, a powder room, a walk-in closet, a butler’s pantry and areas for dining, studying and lounging.

There would be grooming and changing areas, a fireplace and room-by-room temperature controls.

There has been confusion over who killed sky palace.

McIver has said he killed the plan in January.

Former infrastructure minister Wayne Drysdale said he killed it a year earlier.

Drysdale and McIver both sit in the cabinet of Premier Jim Prentice.

Prentice has promised to eradicate the abuses of the Redford era and restore public trust in government.

He has promised no more money will be put into the penthouse and has indicated he may not ever visit the top floor.

But Towle said a premier is known by the company he keeps, and noted he is keeping McIver and Drysdale by his side.

“Instead of demoting them and sending a message that this kind of waste will not be tolerated, Mr. Prentice has put them in charge of departments totalling $2.4 billion in public spending,” said Towle.

Drysdale is transportation minister and McIver is in charge of jobs and training.

Environmental monitor may already need to expand: official

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Oilsands growth is already putting pressure on Alberta’s environmental monitoring agency to expand.

“The program was initially designed to look at the mining areas in and around Fort McMurray,” said Prasad Valupadas, head of evaluation for the Alberta Environmental Monitoring Evaluation and Reporting Agency.

“But more and more stakeholders are saying, ’You need to come to my community.’ We’re having to look at what expansion we need to do to the program.

“We need to look at the Peace River area. We need to look at the Cold Lake area.”

Valupadas made the comments in delivering the group’s second annual report Thursday.

Earlier this week, Alberta auditor general Merwan Saher criticized the fledgling agency’s first report for being inaccurate and released too late to be useful — criticisms Valupadas said are answered in this document. In the future, he said, the agency plans to deliver its report on its administrative functions in the fall and its actual findings on monitoring in December after a year’s worth of data has been analyzed.

Valupadas acknowledged expansion may mean the program will require more than the $50 million a year it’s been given by government and industry.

“We will have to look at what’s needed. There is monitoring going on in those areas currently. We need to understand the full scope of what may need to be enhanced.”

Expansion pressures are only one of the agency’s challenges.

The report points out that major aboriginal groups in the oilsands areas have pulled out of the program over concerns they hadn’t been given enough input and that its work wouldn’t be able to answer their fears about health impacts.

BRIEFS

Specialist says Alberta’s rat-free status still intact after viewing video EDMONTON — A provincial specialist says it’s a case of mistaken rat identity.

A video supplied by a worker at an Edmonton module assembly yard appeared Thursday to show a rat-like rodent scurrying across a ladder lying on the ground before darting under some containers.

Derrick Pelechytik says he spotted the creature while working the overnight shift and started filming.

But Phil Merrill, the province’s rat specialist, says Alberta’s reputation for being rat-free would seem to be safe.

He has viewed the video and thinks the animal is a muskrat.

Muskrats are rodents but aren’t technically in the same genus as rats.

“It runs like a muskrat, behaves like a muskrat, looks a bit too bulky to be a rat,” says Merrill.

“A rat would never have left the cover of the ladder and gone back out into the open unless it was a tame pet one. The darkness of the video and quick movement of the animal make it hard to be certain about the animal’s appearance, but the movement and behaviour are convincing.”

A hydraulic shovel loads a heavy hauler at an oilsands mine north of Fort McMurray on June 19, 2003. An official with Alberta’s new environmental monitoring program says oilsands growth is already putting pressure on the agency to expand.

“Our mandate is not around human health,” Valupadas said. “It is a big shift.

“We need to understand what it is that our monitoring can do to help support the human health exposure aspect.”

The agency is working with health regions and the province’s chief medical health officer to try to figure out how such research can fit into the instructions it’s been given. Meetings between the agency and area First Nations have been scheduled for later this month.

Getting aboriginal people on board is crucial to the agency’s success, said Valupadas.

“We’re there to ensure that we provide credible and scientific information. If we have stakeholders that are important to us and they’re not involved, we

need to continue to work to bring them in. We will not be credible to them unless we can involve them in our programs and processes.”

The agency was created to oversee the joint federal-provincial oilsands monitoring program, which began in 2012. That research was initiated in response to concerns that previous attempts to measure the impact of rampant oilsands expansion were badly lacking.

The “world class” system was intended to burnish Alberta’s and Canada’s environmental images globally and to respond to international critics who said development was out of control. It has already produced research pointing to a slow, small but steady rise in some contaminants along the Athabasca River.

naked and bruised body — missing a head and both hands — have been shown to jurors at the trial of Tim Engel, who is charged with first-degree murder in the gruesome death.

Court was told the remains of Otto (Bunty) Loose, 77, were found in the snow in the woods west of Bragg Creek, Alta., in January 2012.

An RCMP officer has previously testified Loose’s head was found several kilometres away.

Forensic specialist Heidi Godden told court Thursday that she was called in to search Loose’s car, which was found abandoned in Calgary, and found both blood and flesh samples.

Loose’s daughter, Lavonda Justinick, took the stand and testified her father suffered from dementia and that he was too trusting and easily led.

She acknowledged that they had an estranged relationship and that Loose had been to jail more than once because of a stalking issue, which she attributed to the dementia.

The Crown contends Engel confessed to undercover officers, asked them to help him dispose of evidence and even provided specific details as to where he left the body after dismembering it.

FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 2014

Trudeau misses chance By almost any standard, Justin Trudeau is the immediate political casualty of the war of words that attended the debate over Canada’s role in the international coalition against the Islamic State.

It is not that Trudeau necessarily chose the wrong camp — the jury will be out on that for a while — but having picked a side in the most sensitive policy debate to have come his way since becoming leader, he then failed to distinguish himself in action.

For more than a year, pollsters have reported that a plurality of Canadians see Trudeau as the prime minister-in-waiting. But the Liberal CHANTAL performance they were given HÉBERT to watch this week was more reflective of a third-place opposition party than of an aspiring government.

While the Conservatives and the NDP both made substantive cases for and against Canada taking on a combat role against the Islamic State, the Liberals never really got beyond their leader’s initial contention that the government had failed to make a case for war.

Trudeau himself seemed determined to play second string, first by delegating the lead Liberal role in the House of Commons debate to foreign affairs critic Marc Garneau and then by dispensing with the presentation of an alternative of his own to the government’s plan.

On this issue, the Liberals — who once wrote some of the most distinguished pages in Canada’s foreign policy book — let NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair do the heavy lifting. Indeed, as of now, anyone seeking clarity on the Liberal policy on the Islamic State file should probably skip Hansard and go straight to the NDP website for the details. On Tuesday, Trudeau joined every other opposition member but one in supporting the roadmap sketched out by the New Democrats.

It is a fact that the House of Commons offers less centre-stage opportunities for Trudeau than for Mulcair who, by virtue of his official Opposition role, is the prime minister’s de facto vis-à-vis.

Still, it is not much of a leap to argue that from the same second-tier place, former interim leader Bob Rae, to name just one of Trudeau’s predecessors, could have articulated a more effective rationale for the Liberal position.

Whether he would, in this instance, have wanted to do so is another matter.

Trudeau has ruffled Liberal feathers on other issues in the past, most notably when he decreed that in the future his caucus would be bound to the prochoice party line on abortion rights.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

No evidence that AltaLink doing ‘right’ by Pines residents After having read the article on Sept 17 in the Red Deer Advocate concerning the Pines, AltaLink and the AUC, I am left feeling disconcerted. AltaLink may ‘feel’ (my emphasis added) that the power line through the Pines is the best option, but it is not.

“Our overall goal was to establish a low-impact route that made sense in terms of environment, cost, stakeholder input, all the usual things we look at when we establish a route,” Brodsky said. ... “We feel we did right by the Pines residents in terms of addressing their concerns.”

The Pines Group certainly does not have the impression that AltaLink “did right by the Pines residents in addressing their concerns.”

Rather, we were left with the knowledge that our concerns were not dealt with at all. Simply listening to concerns with no real intent to do anything about them leaves one utterly frustrated and despondent regarding the entire process. We are also left with a very real lack of belief that AltaLink ever had the intent to truly understand or address our concerns.

I am grateful to John Wilson, Alan Sully and others of the Pines Group who have not given up hope and continue to press for the alternate route.

The City of Red Deer has put forward an application for review of the decision and I am indeed grateful for that. We are thankful to Mayor Tara Veer and Paul Goranson, director of Corporate Services, for meeting with us and also asking for a review of the decision.

We now would be very happy if indeed AltaLink would “do right by the Pines residents” and choose an alternate route.

But in this case, his chosen stance does not seem to sit easily with part of the party’s foreign policy brain trust including, among others, Montreal MP Irwin Cotler who abstained from the vote on Tuesday.

In his early days as Liberal leader, Jean Chrétien initially made a mess of his party’s position in the first Gulf War. And Harper himself, as leader of the opposition, ended up on the wrong side of Canadian public opinion (and of history) on the Iraq War. The wounds Trudeau inflicted on himself this week need not be fatal. But his management of the issue is unlikely to help the party with the moderate conservative voters that the Liberals need to woo if they are going to beat Harper next year.

To offset that, party strategists can always hope that Trudeau’s stance makes the Liberals more bulletproof to NDP election attacks in traditionally waraverse Quebec.

In 2003, Jean Chrétien’s decision to sit out the American-led Iraq War raised his party to the top of the popularity charts in Quebec (where it remained until the sponsorship scandal broke out a year later).

But there is little evidence that the matter of Canada’s combat role in fighting the Islamic State is about to elicit the same passions.

The Bloc Québécois could not be bothered to come up with a position on Canada’s proposed combat role until a few hours before the vote.

Premier Philippe Couillard is on the record as supporting the notion that Canada step up to the plate of the coalition. At a weekend gathering of the Parti Québécois the issue that has consumed the headlines and the federal conversation for the past two weeks never came up.

facts about this series of projects and our processes.

In the Red Deer area, we are rebuilding three existing transmission lines, one of which (called 80L) runs approximately 12 km long from the north end of Red Deer to the southwest corner of the city. Approximately one km of this line currently goes through the Pines neighbourhood. This line was built in 1951 and the Pines community grew up around it while the population of Red Deer and the surrounding areas grew by more than 100,000 people. As communities have grown, so has demand for electricity.

One thing we want to make clear is that the rebuilt line will not be higher voltage than the existing line.

The rebuilt line will remain 138 kV (138,000 volts) as it is today. The new line will be able to transmit more electricity for Red Deer as a result of larger conductor (wires). The new structures will also change in appearance. The six existing structures in the Pines are two-pole structures, ranging in height from 16 to 20 metres. The six new structures will be single pole structures. The height above the ground of the new structures will range as follows: ● two will be approximately 23 metres tall ● two will be approximately 25 metres tall ● one will be approximately 27 metres tall ● one will be approximately 30 metres tall AltaLink began consulting with Red Deer residents in summer 2011 and has provided several opportunities for residents to ask questions and provide input on this project. During the two years leading up to filing our Facilities Application with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC), we mailed four separate information packages to nearly 24,000 people. Three of these information packages included updates about the routing in the Pines as a result of the feedback we received from stakeholders.

We personally consulted with 1,200 landowners and held three open houses in Red Deer where the public could provide their input, learn more about the project and speak with subject matter experts about specific concerns related to siting, environment, property values and electric and magnetic fields (EMF).

We identified the 63-year-old existing alignment as the preferred route for the rebuilt 80L line because when compared to the alternate route it requires less tree clearing, does not require new or additional right-of-way and minimizes the length of line and number of angle structures required, resulting in lower cost to ratepayers.

However, the input we received during consultation helped us develop the alternate route that we submitted to the AUC for review. This alternate route does take the line further away from the Pines by going around the community. The Pines Group suggested variations of this alternate route, and we took that input into consideration, but we look at

several factors when identifying routes and need to balance residential, environmental and cost considerations, among others. Based on these factors, we determined the alternate route that we submitted was the lower impact solution compared to the other variations put forward by the Pines Group.

We provided both the preferred and alternate routes as viable options to the AUC for consideration. We made it very clear that we were prepared to build either and if the alternate route was chosen we would continue to work with landowners in the area to finalize the details of the route. After reviewing evidence and receiving input from all participating parties at a public hearing held in March 2014, the AUC selected the preferred route as the best solution for the project and it was approved for construction.

Working in dry or frozen conditions minimizes environmental impacts and costs to ratepayers. We want to take advantage of these conditions by constructing during the fall and winter months as much as possible. We currently have regulatory approval and direction to move forward with construction on the preferred route, however, we have not started construction activities on the 80L transmission line yet and we have not flagged trees for removal. Until now, we have only surveyed and flagged the edge of AltaLink’s own right-of-way and the structure locations.

We have also placed signs at several pathway entrances to inform the public of what they may be seeing in the area in the coming months. Although people who live in the area may be more familiar with the project, we want to make sure that everyone else who uses the pathways knows what is going on and who to contact for more information. We will inform the public of our activities and make sure they have advanced notice ahead of any pathway closures as a result of construction.

We understand that transmission lines have impacts regardless of where they are located. As a regulated utility it is our responsibility to find routes that reduce those impacts as much as possible and we believe we have done that. We are happy to address any questions or concerns that people may have about this project. Please contact us at 1-855520-1923 or RedDeerArea@altalink.ca.

This is an important development that will ensure Red Deer and the surrounding communities in Central Alberta continue to have the reliable electricity that they rely on every day. Thank you for your patience as we work to reinforce this important infrastructure in your community.

A5 Kuwait to host Canadian jets FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 2014

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

IRAQ MISSION

OTTAWA — Canadian fighter jets and surveillance planes headed for battle with Middle East militants have a place to land in Kuwait, but it is still unclear to whom they will report on a day-to-day basis as the coalition air campaign unfolds.

In 2011, when Canadian planes took part in airstrikes in Libya, they were part of a NATO-led, UN-sanctioned command structure. That’s not the case, however, in the campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

As a result, the question of ironing out the chain of command has been changing daily ever since Parliament gave the green light for the combat mission earlier this week, several defence sources said Thursday.

Gen. Tom Lawson, Canada’s chief of the defence staff, will attend a highlevel meeting next week among coalition military commanders, The Canadian Press has learned.

The two-day Washington conference, hosted by U.S. Joint Chief of Staff

Gen. Martin Dempsey, is expected to hash out details of a follow-on ground campaign to dig Islamic State fighters out of the territory they’ve captured in northern Iraq.

It is hoped the meeting will straighten out issues of tactical direction.

Ultimate accountability for Canada’s CF-18s always rests with Lawson and the Canadian government, but which U.S. unit and commander will decide what missions they fly is still in flux.

Another important unanswered question is what sort of latitude the Canadian detachment commander will have over the target list and whether Canada will be able to opt out of missions it may not want to participate in.

National Defence was asked a series of questions Thursday about the issue, but did not respond.

The absence of those kinds of details drove the opposition line of attack Thursday as they attempted to paint the Harper government as feckless.

It took the government a few days

to finalize a status of forces agreement with Kuwait, which already hosts a Canadian military supply hub. It will likely be about three weeks before Canada’s assets — six CF-18s, two CP140 Auroras and a C-150 refuelling aircraft — are in place to conduct operations.

New Democrat foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar says the delay makes a mockery of the government’s reasons for shutting down debate earlier this week on the motion that saw Canada join the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.

“Why did the Conservatives use urgency as an excuse to cut short the debate on Iraq, when they’re not ready to go?” said Dewar, who also pointed to earlier confusion about how many special forces troops were advising Kurdish and Iraqi forces in the north.

Defence Minister Rob Nicholson replied by saying the House of Commons could have debated the matter for “30 years” and the NDP would still not have supported the combat mission.

Speaking in Whitby, Ont., Prime Minister Stephen Harper expressed the hope that the public debate doesn’t turn into a political quagmire of its own.

“Across the world, it isn’t just Conservatives; it’s Liberals and social democrats across the world that have understood that this is a threat that needs to be countered, and needs to be countered in many ways, including militarily,” Harper said.

“I think it’s important when we are talking about the country’s security that these things rise above the level of partisan politics.”

The differences of opinion the mission seems to have created within the Liberal party, meanwhile, remained on display Thursday.

Former Chretien cabinet minister Sergio Marchi went after ex-colleague Lloyd Axworthy for accusing Liberal MPs of turning their backs on the responsibility-to-protect doctrine championed by a previous Grit government.

Harper’s lack of consultation shoved the opposition — and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau — into a corner, Marchi said.

“I think Mr. Trudeau is being fair, given the cards he’s been dealt,” he said. “I think Lloyd and others have to put that right-to-protect, which I think is an important principle, in some sort of context.”

Magnotta trial hears gruesome Activists plan court challenge to testimony from pathologist ‘anti-democratic’ Fair Elections Act

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CAUTION: GRAPHIC CONTENT MAY DISTURB SOME READERS MONTREAL — The pathologist who performed the post-mortem on Jun Lin says his throat was cut and that his system showed traces of a sleeping medication, Luka Rocco Magnotta’s murder trial heard Thursday.

Much of Yann Daze’s testimony dealt with Lin’s violent death in Magnotta’s apartment in May 2012.

Daze said the victim’s throat was cut while he was alive and that he suffered so many blows to the head with a hammer they could not be counted.

The pathologist said it was impossible to determine whether the blows were inflicted before or after the actual death.

“All the vessels in the neck had been cut by a sharp weapon,” said Daze, who didn’t specify which of the weapons seized by police might have been used.

“It’s difficult to say. I can’t be any more specific than to say it was a sharp weapon.”

Daze said Lin sustained 73 postmortem wounds in the upper body, abdomen and back from four different weapons — a hammer, a screwdriver, a small electric saw and a knife.

These items were later found in the

trash behind Magnotta’s apartment building.

The dismemberment occurred after Lin’s death, Daze told the jurors. There were cuts as well as broken bones.

Daze suggested that a hammer or similar object was likely used to smash through bones to allow for an easier severing of limbs, hands and feet.

The victim’s body was cut into a total of 10 pieces. The jury only looked at sketches and not actual photos.

Daze noted that while a knife had been used to cut the tissue in the neck, a grinder saw was likely used to cut through Lin’s spine to complete the severing of the head.

He said the same type of saw is used in the lab he works at to open up human skulls and is very efficient at cutting through bone.

Lin’s head was also struck with a hammer — several semi-circular wounds were found in the area of the left temple consistent with the use of such a weapon. Daze said the victim was struck too many times to be counted.

Parts of Lin’s left buttock were missing and there were also lacerations to his anus, Daze said.

On Thursday, the forensic pathologist said the sleep drug Temazepam and Benadryl, an over-the-counter allergy medication, were found in Lin’s body.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Council of Canadians and the Canadian Federation of Students will ask the courts to overturn parts of the Harper government’s Fair Elections Act. The two groups and three individual electors will file their suit in Ontario Superior Court. They are targeting provisions which make it harder for voters to prove their identity at the polls and reduce the powers and responsibilities of the chief electoral officer.

Council executive director Garry Neil says those provisions violate the equality provisions of the charter, as well as the guaranteed right to vote.

He also says the changes will make the commissioner of elections account-

able to partisan interests, not the voters.

Neil says the identification provisions in the law will erode the voting rights of young people, members of First Nations living on reserves, seniors and people with low incomes.

The act strikes at voting rights by making it harder for certain voters to mark a ballot, he added.

“It will make it impossible for thousands of electors to prove their address or identity in order to obtain a ballot to vote in the next election. It strips the chief electoral officer of his authority to alert the public and report to Parliament on complaints and investigations into election fraud. It makes the commissioner of Canada elections accountable to the government, rather than to Parliament.”

Three injured in fire and explosion at wood pellet mill in northern B.C. BURNS LAKE, B.C. — Three mill workers were injured Thursday in a fire and explosion at a northern British Columbia wood pellet plant, which was the site of a less serious explosion two years ago and was recently fined for “repeated� safety violations.

Leroy Reitsma, the president of Pinnacle Renewable Energy Inc., said the incident happened at about 8 a.m. at a facility operated by the company near Burns Lake.

One worker suffered serious injuries and two workers received minor injuries, said Reitsma, though he declined to offer more details about their injuries. The RCMP described all three workers’ injuries as serious.

Reitsma said Thursday’s fire and explosion originated inside a drying machine during a maintenance shutdown, though he said it was far too early to speculate about the cause. The company is investigating and WorkSafe BC had dispatched prevention officers to the scene.

The wood mill industry has been under increased scrutiny since two fatal explosions in 2012 at facilities in Burns Lake and Prince George. Both explosions were linked to the presence of combustible wood dust.

Tories to double fitness tax credit

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WHITBY, Ont. — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is making good on a three-year-old election promise that’s as much about the next campaign as it is about the last one.

The federal Conservatives will double the children’s fitness tax credit starting this year — a commitment they made in the weeks before the 2011 election, when the scars of the global recession were still deep and fresh.

The promise, like several other highpriced goodies offered at the time, came with a catch: it would only be implemented once the deficit had been eliminated and the federal books were balanced.

Last week, Harper said the deficit is disappearing much more quickly than anticipated. But he said the government would not be in a surplus position until 2015-16, just in time for next year’s federal election.

Regardless of what the books may say, however, Thursday’s announcement suggests the surplus is upon us. “These activities are good for our children, they are good for our communities,�

Harper told a news conference at the Abilities Centre in Whitby, Ont., a facility the late finance minister Jim Flaherty helped establish. “And our view is that whatever is good for our children and good for our communities is good for Canada.�

The measure will allow parents to claim up to $1,000 in fees they pay to register each child under 16 for a program of eligible physical activities, such as hockey or sailing, for a maximum credit of $150.

Parents can claim the credit when they file their tax returns for 2014, said a relaxed-looking Harper, clad in his familiar campaign garb of a suit jacket and opencollared shirt, sans necktie.

It will become a refundable credit in the following 2015 tax year so lower-income

The government said it currently provides about $115 million per year in tax relief to 1.4 million families.

Saskatchewan train derailment cars same as those in Lac Megantic disaster WADENA, Sask. — CN Rail says the tanker cars that derailed and caught fire this week near a small community in Saskatchewan are the same type as those involved in the Lac Megantic disaster last year.

Jim Feeny says the Class DOT-111 rail cars are owned by shippers or leasing companies and CN has no choice but to accept them.

Almost three-quarters of the tanker cars used in North America are 111s.

Feeny says regulators on both sides of the border have laid out a time frame to replace the older cars. “We are on record as favouring a very aggressive phase-out of the older model DOT-111s, but we are required to accept these cars at this point,� Feeny told radio station CKRM Thursday. “We are required to operate them. We have no choice in that matter.

We are calling on the industry and the federal government to phase them out, but the fact is, there are many of them, and it will take time to do this.�

Both CN and CP have said they are already phasing out or retrofitting their fleet.

the maximum annual contribution limit on tax-free savings accounts to $10,000, introduce an adult fitness tax credit, and allow income splitting for tax purposes by couples with children under 18.

That latter promise has been slammed by both the government’s critics and even some allies — most notably, Flaherty himself following the last federal budget — as being a costly commitment that would impact the lives of too few Canadians.

OTTAWA — The NDP wants auditor general Michael Ferguson to produce a report into Canada Post’s financial situation.

MP Alain Giguere is calling on Ferguson to bring forward the report by five years.

In theory, the auditor general tables such a document every 10 years.

The last one on Canada Post was five years ago, but the NDP believes the situation is urgent enough to warrant another one right away.

Giguere, whose constituents in his MarcAurele-Fortin riding no longer get home delivery, said Canada Post is making “major changes� and justifying them because of the precariousness of its finances.

Ebola vaccine shipping next week TORONTO — Experimental Ebola vaccine that Canada has donated to the World Health Organization will be shipped to Geneva next week, the global health agency said Thursday.

The WHO is finalizing the legal agreement needed for it to take possession of between 800 and 1,000 vials of donated vaccine. Once that contract is signed the vaccine will then be shipped, a senior official told The Canadian Press.

“We are negotiating the final agreement and we should have it signed, I hope, by the beginning of next week.

And we should be able to move the vaccine next week,” said Dr. MariePaule Kieny, the WHO’s assistant director general for health systems and

innovation.

“This is why the vaccine is not yet in Geneva, and not then distributed further.”

The Public Health Agency of Canada — whose scientists invented the vaccine and which paid to have the vials produced — said the vaccine will be sent when the request comes.

“PHAC is confirming the details with the WHO and stands ready to ship,” a spokesperson from the agency said in an email.

Soon-to-start clinical trials will establish if the vaccine is safe to use in people and how much — or little — is needed to protect a person. It is hoped the results will show that a low dose can be used, which would mean each vial might contain up to 100 doses of vaccine.

Legalize, regulate pot, says addiction centre

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canada’s largest mental health and addiction treatment and research centre is calling for the legalization of marijuana, with strict controls that would govern who could buy weed, from where, and in what quantity.

In a policy statement released Thursday, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto said cannabis should be sold through a government-controlled monopoly and with limited availability and an age limit, possibly through outlets similar to provincially operated liquor stores.

“Legalization means that we remove all penalties for cannabis possession and use by adults,” said Jurgen Rehm, director of social and epidemiological research at CAMH. “Canada’s current system of cannabis control is failing to prevent or reduce the harms associated with cannabis use,” he said Wednesday. “Based on a thorough review of the evidence, we believe that legalization combined with strict regulation of cannabis is the most effective means of reducing the harms associated with its use.”

Those harms include respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, the risk of death or disability from motor vehicle accidents, and deleterious ef-

fects on cognition, particularly among pot-smoking adolescents because their brains are still developing.

Cannabis use also can also become habitual, said Rehm, noting that about 30,000 people are treated for pot dependence each year in Ontario alone.

Given its potential harms, legalizing and controlling the sale of marijuana in Canada is an important public health measure, Rehm stressed.

Although possessing pot is illegal, a significant proportion of Canadians still use the herb. In fact, Canada has one of the highest rates of cannabis use in the world, with 40 per cent of Canadians having used it at least once in their lifetime.

In Ontario, for instance, a survey showed about the same percentage of people aged 18 to 29 reported having smoked pot in the previous year.

“We have a lot of our adolescents smoking marijuana, so it does not do what it’s supposed to be doing,” he said of criminalizing cannabis. “We push our youth, our adolescents into an illegal market, and where other drugs are sold from the same dealer.”

“And we cannot control all of this unless we legalize the substance ... plus we can control the potency and the quality too.”

Part of that control would include restricting sales to consumers over a certain age.

Police warn Slocan residents to stay inside during ‘criminal’ incident

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SLOCAN CITY, B.C. — Mounties in southeastern B.C. say they are looking for a man armed with multiple firearms around the community of Slocan.

RCMP say the incident was sparked over a dispute between two people just after noon on Thursday.

“While on the scene, a male suspect allegedly fired upon police with a long rifle before retreating into the surrounding forest.” an RCMP news release stated.

RCMP Const. Kris Clark said police were still searching the woods for him Thursday night.

No members of the public or RCMP officers have been injured, Clark said.

Additional police resources, including air support and the Southeastern District Emergency Response Team have been deployed to the area.

Immediately after the shooting, officers began warning area residents of

the potential danger.

Jeff Jones, superintendent of School District 8, said all students and staff were evacuated from the school in Slocan City.

“The RCMP provided escort,” said Jones. “Parents are picking their children up at a safe spot south of the village.”

He said all students that were on buses are now with family or caregivers.

Village fire chief John Gates said police stopped him at about 2:30 p.m.

Pacific time while he was on his way to pick up his car from the mechanic’s.

“A constable came out and stopped us and told us to turn around and go back home,” he said.

Gates said police cars are blocking streets to the south, north and east.

Ben Mittellsteadt, a spokesman for the B.C. Ambulance Service in Victoria, said crews have been put on standby for what appears to be a standoff involving RCMP.

The vaccine, called VSV-EBOV, was created by scientists at the Winnipeg lab.

Canada holds the intellectual property rights to the vaccine but has licensed the rights to a small American biotech company, NewLink Genetics.

Based in Ames, Iowa, the company’s primary focus — until recently — has been the development of cancer vaccines. It does not have its own vaccine production facility and has never brought a product through the expensive and onerous process of gaining regulatory approval.

But because it holds the licence to one of a very few experimental Ebola vaccines — and one of only two ready for human safety trials — NewLink has found itself at the centre of a storm.

WHO and if 100 doses can be obtained from each vial, the Canadian donation could turn out to be 100,000 doses of vaccine. The studies may show each person will need two doses of vaccine to gain protection, a priming and a boosting dose.

Kieny said the vaccine was left at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg while plans were being worked out on who would conduct clinical trials of the experimental vaccine and where those trials would take place.

Until those plans were nearing completion, there was no need to have the vaccine in Geneva, Kieny said. The Winnipeg lab had the capacity to safely store the vials and the Geneva hospital that will hold the vaccine for the WHO had to purchase a special freezer to store it at -80 C.

Cop who watched women have sex in B.C. jail found not guilty of breach of trust KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A Mountie who watched two female inmates have sex in a jail cell in Kamloops, B.C., has been found not guilty of breach of trust by a public officer, but it will likely be months before he learns if he can return to work.

Cpl. Rick Brown was the watch commander on duty in August 2010 when he and other RCMP officers and at least one jail guard viewed the women’s sex acts on a closed-circuit monitor.

The Crown argued at trial that Brown should have intervened but seemed to consider the entire situation entertaining and invited others to watch.

Brown’s lawyer told the trial there were no guidelines in place at the time governing what should be done in such situations.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Selwyn Romilly ruled Thursday that Brown was not out of line in watching the women have sex and prisoners should not expect privacy while behind bars.

Romilly called the case “one of the most bizarre” he’d seen as a judge and was skeptical about whether it should have proceeded even before the trial began last month.

Outside court, defence lawyer Glen Orris said he expected the not-guilty verdict.

“Ever since I’ve had this file, I’ve strongly believed there wasn’t an offence here,” Orris said. “This matter should not have been dealt with criminally.”

Orris said Brown plans to go back to work with the RCMP, having spent more than four years on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of

his trial.

“He’s an extremely good police officer,” said Orris. “I like to think this hasn’t done anything to his career.

We’ll have to wait and see what the RCMP does. I hope what they do is welcome him back to work.”

Brown said he’s still digesting the decision.

“I’ll probably just take the weekend to unwind,” he said. “It’s been a long time — four years.”

B.C. girl banned from wearing headscarves KAMLOOPS, B.C. — They’re pretty and they serve a practical purpose — keeping her bangs out of her eyes.

But officials at Jamie Mitchell’s school have told her that if she keeps coming to her Grade 3 class wearing a scarf, “she will no longer be welcome,” her mother, Erin, said.

The 10-year-old said she’s worn hairbands in the past to deal with her long hair, but finds the scarves work better.

“I kinda like to wear them,” she said.

Alain Blais, principal at Lloyd George elementary, where Jamie has attended since kindergarten has told the family the scarves violate the school’s dress code.

Blais acknowledged he had told Erin Mitchell that her daughter would be allowed to wear a scarf for religious reasons, referring her to the district’s policy that says schools, when developing codes or policies, must address “the wearing of hats, hoodies or other headwear, other than for religious reasons.”

The principal, new to the school after moving from Alberta, said his position comes from his belief that rules are rules, and it is respectful to remove hats or headwear when entering a building and that the policy avoids a double standard.

“I don’t like that we have to go 50 km/h in town, but that’s the rule,” Blais said in an interview. “At some point, there’s no point arguing. I don’t understand the purpose of not following the

rules.”

Conservatives propose plan to allow use of journalistic work in political ads OTTAWA — The Conservative government readied for combat on another front on Thursday — taking on the nation’s media outlets and the intellectual property rights of journalists.

It’s a long simmering battle, set to boil now with the leak of a secret cabinet presentation. It laid out a proposal

by Heritage Minister Shelly Glover to change the Copyright Act to give a politician, party or the people who work for them the power to use video, audio, photographs from news outlets without permission or compensation.

The document, which does not indicate whether the proposal was accepted or even presented, sent waves through the Canadian journalistic sector Thursday. A senior media source said meetings that Glover had set up with the major networks had been abruptly cancelled.

But the issue has been brewing for years, and not just with the Conservatives.

The Liberal Party, back in 1988, won an injunction forcing the broadcasters to carry campaign advertising that included relatively short clips from the federal debates.

The networks fired a shot in May warning all provincial and federal parties that they would not carry any advertising that included content that was used without permission. There are no legal requirements on the

broadcasters to carry political ads outside of writ periods.

“As news organizations, the use of our content in political advertisements without our express consent may compromise our journalistic independence and call into question our journalistic ethics, standards and objectivity,” reads the letters signed by executives at the CBC, Radio-Canada, Bell Media, Shaw Media and Rogers.

Glover suggested in the Commons Thursday that the copyright proposal was the government’s own shot across the bow.

“Major television networks should not have the ability to censor what can and cannot be broadcast to Canadians,” Glover said.

“We believe this has always been protected under the fair dealing provisions of the law, and if greater certainty is necessary, we will provide it.”

The content would include clips from radio and television news, footage from debate or events, newspaper and magazine articles, and could be used by political types from any level of government.

“It’s expropriation, without compensation, it degrades integrity and freedom of the press. Why does this government behave like such a tinpot banana republic?” deputy Liberal Leader Ralph Goodale said during question period Thursday.

The Copyright Act was last amended in late 2012, after decades of debate and delays.

One of the central issues around the changes to the Act was the idea of “fair dealing,” and who can use copyrighted work without permission.

Smoke rises over Kobani U.S.-LED COALITION RAMPS UP STRIKES ON SYRIAN TOWN AS MILITANTS PRESS OFFENSIVE Secretary of State John Kerry and Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu have spoken at least twice this week.

In Kobani, columns of smoke rose as warplanes buzzed overhead Thursday. Two strong explosions — apparently from an airstrike — echoed from the edge of the town, a cluster of low-slung concrete buildings nestled in rolling hills.

The crackle of gunfire and blasts could be heard on the Turkish side, where people watched the fighting unfold from a stretch of farmland.

The coalition airstrikes have forced some Islamic

State militants out of Kobani.

The U.S. Central Command said five airstrikes south of Kobani since Wednesday had destroyed an Islamic State group support building and two vehicles, and damaged a training camp. The strikes also hit two groups of Islamic State fighters, it said in a statement.

“Indications are that Kurdish militia there continue to control most of the city and are holding out against ISIL,” it said, using an acronym for the Islamic State group, which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey — The U.S.-led coalition intensified its aerial bombardment of Islamic State positions Thursday in the Syrian border town of Kobani as the extremist group fought street battles with Kurdish forces and reportedly rushed in reinforcements.

The battle for the town near the frontier with Turkey has emerged as a major early test for the air campaign aimed at rolling back and eventually destroying the extremist group.

It has also strained ties between Washington and Ankara over the long-term U.S. strategy in Syria. On Thursday, the U.S. special envoy for the coalition, retired Marine Gen. John Allen, and NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg were in Turkey to press the country to join military operations.

Turkish officials have said that while they do not want Kobani to fall, they will not take on a greater role until the coalition outlines a broader strategy that also includes attacking Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is best positioned to benefit from any rollback of the Islamic State group.

But attacking Assad’s regime “is not the focus of our international coalition and not the focus of our efforts by the United States,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

Turkey also has called for the creation of a buffer zone inside Syria to secure the border, but * the White House and Pentagon said Wednesday the U.S. is not con® sidering that option.

‘Our people are dying’ AFRICAN LEADERS PLEAD FOR HELP AS U.S. MILITARY PLANES DELIVER MORE MARINES TO EBOLA HOT ZONE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LIBERIA

MONROVIA, Liberia — Six U.S. military planes arrived in the Ebola hot zone Thursday with more Marines, as West Africa’s leaders pleaded for the world’s help in dealing with a crisis that one called “a tragedy unforeseen in modern times.”

“Our people are dying,” Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma lamented by videoconference at a World Bank meeting in Washington. He said other countries are not responding fast enough while children are orphaned and infected doctors and nurses are lost to the disease.

Alpha Conde of Guinea said the region’s countries are in “a very fragile situation.”

Ebola is “an international threat and deserves an international response,” he said, speaking through a translator as he sought money, medicine, equipment and training for health care workers.

Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said he was reminded of the start of the AIDS epidemic.

“We have to work now so this is not the next AIDS,” Frieden said.

The fleet of planes that landed outside the Liberian capital of Monrovia consisted of four MV-22 Ospreys and two KC-130s. The 100 additional Marines bring to just over 300 the total number of American troops in the country, said Maj. Gen. Darryl A. Williams, the commander leading the U.S. response.

Williams joined the American ambassador to Liberia, Deborah Malac, at the airport to greet the aircraft.

Also Thursday, Liberian police used batons and rattan whips to disperse 100 protesters outside the National Assembly, where lawmakers were debating granting President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf more powers beyond those contained in a state of emergency declared in August. Her handling of the crisis has been criticized as heavy handed and ineffective.

Liberian state radio announced that Senate elections scheduled for next week would be postponed. No new date was given.

The outbreak has killed more than 3,800 people, according to the latest World Health Organization figures.

The vast majority of those deaths have been in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Elsewhere, University of Maryland researchers announced that the first study of a possible Ebola vaccine in Africa was underway. Scientists say three health care workers in Mali received the experimental shots developed by the U.S. government.

Mali has not had any cases of Ebola, but it borders the outbreak zone. Researchers say early safety tests should be done in Ebola-free countries to avoid complicating factors. If the vaccine appears to be safe, larger trials could be done in the outbreak zone early next year.

The U.S. military is working to build medical centres in Liberia and may send up to 4,000 soldiers to help with the Ebola crisis. Medical workers and beds for Ebola patients are sorely lacking.

Sgt. Joel Miick, left, and Spc. Michael Potts don gas masks while training with the rest of the 36th Engineer Brigade at Fort Hood on how to put on protective clothing and gloves on Thursday. The brigade is set to deploy to Liberia as part of Operation United Assistance where they will be building temporary medical facilities in helping the country fight the Ebola virus outbreak. The 450 soldiers from the brigade will be among the first to be deployed from Fort Hood to Liberia.

As vehicles unloaded boxes of equipment wrapped in green-andblack cloth, the Marines formed a line on the tarmac and had their temperatures checked by Liberian health workers.

Meanwhile, British authorities said they would introduce “enhanced” screening of travellers for Ebola at

Heathrow and Gatwick airports and Eurostar rail terminals.

Prime Minister David Cameron’s office said passengers arriving from West Africa would be questioned about their travels and contacts. Some people could be given a medical assessment and advice on what to do if they develop symptoms.

Suicide attacks in Yemen kill 67

A Yemeni security official inspects the site of a suicide bombing in Sanaa, Yemen, Thursday. A suicide bomber struck at the center of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Thursday, setting off his explosives at a gathering of supporters of the rebel Shiite Houthis who recently overran the city, security officials said. bent on seizing power.

Shortly after the Houthis seized the capital, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula claimed a suicide car bombing that killed one person at a Houthi field hospital and warned: “You will see your bodies scattered and your heads flying.”

It would prove an eerie foretelling of the carnage visited upon Sanaa on Thursday.

The attacker mingled among protesters as they approached the venue of the planned rally in the city’s landmark Tahrir Street before detonating his explosives, according to security and health officials. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to media.

The regional Al-Arabiyah news channel broadcast footage apparently taken by a security camera showing the exact moment of the blast. Many of some two dozen people shown in the video, all wearing long robes with jackets on top, dropped instantly, while others somehow ran away, apparently unscathed.

The dead and wounded were taken to three hospitals. At the Al-Moayed hospital, an Associated Press reporter saw body parts piled up on the floor, and two severed heads placed next to headless bodies. Another body lay next to a leg that had been sheared off.

There were at least six children in critical condition and some of the wounded arrived in hospital badly burnt, missing eyes or limbs.

MEXICO CITY — Federal police arrested alleged Juarez drug cartel leader Vicente Carrillo Fuentes in the northern city of Torreon on Thursday, Mexican officials announced.

After investigators narrowed Carrillo Fuentes’ whereabouts to a neighbourhood of Torreon, he was taken into custody at a traffic checkpoint without a shot being fired, National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said.

Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam called the arrest “a capture of great importance.”

A suspected bodyguard was also detained.

Carrillo Fuentes, 51, purportedly heads the cartel founded by his late brother, Amado Carrillo Fuentes, and both the U.S. and Mexico had milliondollar rewards for his arrest.

Better known as “The Viceroy” or “The General,” he took over control of the Juarez drug cartel after his brother Amado, nicknamed “The Lord of the Skies,” died in 1997 in a botched cosmetic surgery. Amado got his nickname by flying drugs into the United States.

It was the second capture of a major drug lord in as many weeks. Mexican authorities nabbed Hector Beltran Leyva as he ate fish tacos in a seafood restaurant in central Mexico on Oct. 1.

The back-to-back arrests come as Mexico’s federal government is under international pressure over the forced disappearance of 43 students by police and a possible massacre of 22 suspected gang members by soldiers. Everyone from outraged Mexicans to the United Nations is demanding justice and accountability in the two cases.

“I think it’s a little bit because of the pressure,” Samuel Gonzalez, Mexico’s former top anti-drug prosecutor, said of the sudden demise of long-time capos. “This is to say they’re doing a lot of work.”

SANAA, Yemen — Two suicide bombings in Yemen killed nearly 70 people on Thursday, with one targeting an anti-government rally by Shiite rebels who control Sanaa, leaving body parts strewn across a street in the heart of the capital and escalating sectarian tensions in a country gripped by turmoil.

The suicide bomber in Sanaa detonated his explosives-laden belt as he approached a security checkpoint run

by Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, outside the anti-government rally, killing 47 people and wounding 75.

Hours later, a suicide car bomber rammed a security outpost on the outskirts of the Arabian Sea port city of Mukalla, killing 20 soldiers and wounding 15.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, but they bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida’s powerful local affiliate, which for years has waged a campaign of suicide bombings and other attacks against security forces and government facilities despite U.S. drone strikes targeting its leaders.

The Sunni extremist group al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula had warned it would target the Houthis, and the attack in Sanaa threatened to set off the kind of sectarian bloodletting that is ravaging Iraq and Syria.

Yemen, an impoverished country whose rugged landscape and tribal society has long limited the reach of the central government, has been navigating a bumpy transition since longruling President Ali Abdullah Saleh agreed to step down following a 2011 uprising inspired by the Arab Spring.

Over the last several months, the Houthis had moved south from their northern stronghold, winning a series of battles against tribal and other forces allied with the Islamist Islah party and ultimately seizing the capital on Sept. 21.

The Houthis insist they want a greater share of power in a new national government, but their critics view them as a proxy of Shiite Iran

Shooting sparks protests

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS

ST. LOUIS — An off-duty police officer fatally shot an 18-year-old man who opened fire during a chase in south St. Louis, sparking loud protests in the area, police said Thursday.

St. Louis Police Chief Col. Sam Dotson said the 32-year-old officer was patrolling the Shaw neighbourhood for a private security company late Wednesday when the shooting happened.

The officer said three men in the street ran away when they spotted him, Dotson told reporters at a news conference early Thursday. The way that one of the men ran — grabbing at his waistband, slightly lopsided — indicated that he was carrying a weapon, so the officer chased him, Dotson said.

The man approached the officer in an aggressive way, an altercation ensued and the man fired at the officer, the police chief said. The officer returned fire and killed him.

Ballistic evidence recovered from the scene indicates that the man fired three rounds at the officer before his weapon jammed, Dotson said, adding that the gun was also recovered.

The officer fired 17 shots, Dotson said. He said he didn’t know how many of those shots hit the suspect or why the officer fired that many shots. The officer was not injured.

“An investigation will decide if the officer’s be-

haviour was appropriate,” he said at police headquarters.

People who described themselves as relatives of the dead man told The St. Louis Post Dispatch that he was not armed.

Dotson described the officer as a six-year veteran of the St. Louis Police Department, and said the man who was killed was 18 years old and black.

He did not name either man.

Hours after the shooting, a crowd gathered at the scene near the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Some shouted “Hands up, don’t shoot” in reference to the fatal shooting in August of an unarmed black man, Michael Brown, by a white police officer in nearby Ferguson.

That shooting led to

BRIEFS

Gay couples in Las Vegas begin getting marriage licenses LAS VEGAS — A dizzying legal wrangle is over in the wedding capital of the world with same-sex couples getting marriage licenses in Las Vegas and other Nevada cities.

Same-sex couples cheered at the marriage license bureau in Las Vegas as frustration gave way to elation and the first licenses were issued.

In Las Vegas, Clark County Clerk Diana Alba began issuing similar licenses just after 5 p.m.

“It’s amazing, this is it,” said Theo Small as he stood next to his partner, Antioco Carillo, and looked down at their marriage license, the first issued in Las Vegas.

Haiti won’t hold state funeral for former dictator ’Baby Doc’ Duvalier PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier will not get a formal state funeral, his attorney said Thursday.

Duvalier, the self-designated “president-for-life” who died Saturday from an apparent heart attack, will have a “simple, private” funeral arranged by friends and family in Haiti, attorney Reynold Georges said in an interview.

“There will be people coming from all over the country,” he said.

Georges told The Associated Press that he had been told in recent days that the government of President Michel Martelly had planned a state funeral though officials said publicly that no decision had been made.

The attorney said the government apparently changed course and decided against a public funeral for Duvalier, who presided over a regime widely acknowledged as brutal and corrupt until he was ousted by a popular uprising in 1986.

Minister of Communications Rudy Heriveaux declined to comment on the subject during a news conference Thursday.

Man used assault weapon to fire on train from Chicago subway platform CHICAGO — A man who fired on a Chicago subway train as it pulled into a business district station used an assault rifle, Chicago Police Superintendent Gerry McCarthy said Thursday.

McCarthy also said that the man was targeting the “L” train, not passengers, and had at least 50 bullets with him. No one was injured.

“Kind of bizarre behaviour,” McCarthy said. “I don’t know what his motivation was.”

Even though the man had a valid firearms owner identification card, the weapon he used was stolen, McCarthy said. The suspect was taken into custody a short time later, just a few blocks away. No charges were immediately filed against the man, who hasn’t been identified by police.

Chicago Transit Authority security cameras caught the man on tape before the shooting, but McCarthy didn’t say if the shooting was captured by cameras.

The incident left passengers shaken, with some refusing to get off when the doors opened.

Clashes break out in C. African Republic capital for second day BANGUI — Clashes in Central African Republic’s capital have resulted in “many casualties,” the International Committee for the Red Cross said Thursday, marking the most significant violence in the city since a United Nations force took over peacekeeping last month.

A crash following an attack on a convoy killed one UN peacekeeper and injured at least seven others, Vannina Maestracci, associate spokeswoman for the U.N. secretary-general, said in New York. It was the first death of a peacekeeper since the UN took over peacekeeping duties from a regional force.

The violence complicated relief efforts. Doctors Without Borders said its staff was staying home Thursday because of the dangers, and the ICRC said its workers “were subjected to direct threats” as they tried to recover bodies.

“It’s truly regrettable that such actions can jeopardize any attempt to help the wounded,” said Antoine Mbao Bogo, the national president of the Central African Red Cross. Workers from his organization, which recovers dead bodies in the aftermath of violence, received reports of 12 deaths but couldn’t access the affected neighbourhoods and confirm each case.

The violence began Tuesday when a former fighter with a mostly Muslim Seleka rebel coalition was killed by anti-Balaka Christian militias who mutilated his body before burning it, witnesses said.

The man had been accused of launching two grenades, one in an anti-Balaka stronghold in the north of the city, prompting the anti-Balaka fighters to chase him.

Chance to play for something big REBELS’ FLEURY AND BLEACKLEY ARE HOPING TO BE PLAYING IN THE NHL NEXT SEASON BUT KNOW IF THEY COME BACK THEY CAN BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR If they’re both back in Red Deer next year, they’ll be disappointed.

Red Deer Rebels stars Haydn Fleury and Conner Bleackley were selected in the first round of June’s NHL entry draft — seventh overall to Carolina and 23rd to Colorado — and both attended their first professional training camps last month.

Both, of course, are back with the Rebels and will be in the lineup tonight against the visiting Medicine Hat Tigers, but both have their sights set on playing in The Show as early as next year.

So, yes, they’ll be somewhat disjointed if they’re reassigned to the Rebels two years in succession, but shattered?

Hardly, not with the Rebels already set up as hosts of the 2016 Memorial Cup tournament.

“That will be my goal — to not be back in Red Deer next year,” Fleury said Thursday, following a press

conference at Westerner Park that followed Wednesday’s Memorial Cup announcement.

“But if I do get sent back I know I’ll be playing for something real big. It will make it that much easier knowing we’ll be playing for something next season.

“Plus, we’ll have a good team. Brent (Rebels GM/head coach Sutter) will

make sure of that.”

Bleackley feels he’ll be a winner no matter the scenario.

“For me, it’s definitely a win-win,” he said. “I can either play in the National Hockey League or be back here with an very competitive team and the opportunity to play in the Memorial Cup. “Either way you look at it, it’s going to be good for myself.”

Fleury and Bleackley are excited about the notion of playing in major junior hockey’s championship event a year and a half down the road and their younger teammates will undoubtedly embrace the opportunity as well.

“We have lots of guys in their draft year this season and realistically a bunch of them, if they have a good year, could get drafted and that would just create more of a vibe around our team that we could carry into next season,” said Fleury.

As the Rebels’ top defenceman and forward, Fleury and Bleackley are two players at the centre of a core that includes the likes of 17-year-old forwards

Adam Musil and 16-year-old defenceman Josh Mahura, along with rookie forward Jeff de Wit. The lure of performing in the Memorial Cup tournament might also result in top-end American forwards Austin Pratt and Grant Mismash joining the team for the 2015-16 season. The Rebels feel good about their chances of landing Pratt, but prior to Wednesday’s announcement were not convinced that Mismash will head north.

“Brent has been pushing for this ever since I’ve been here and it’s definitely an exciting time for not only the organization but the whole city of Red Deer and Central Alberta,” said Bleackley.

The Rebels will host the Brandon Wheat Kings Saturday night and next week will welcome the Victoria Royals to the Centrium for a Tuesday game.

The Rebels will then head east on a two-game trip that will include stops in Saskatoon and Prince Albert Oct. 17 and 18. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Raymond scores three to lift Flames over Oilers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Flames 5 Oilers 2 EDMONTON _ It didn’t take long for Mason Raymond to make an impact with the Calgary Flames.

Raymond recorded his third career hat trick as Calgary spoiled the home opener of their provincial rivals, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Thursday.

The Flames signed the 29-year-old Cochrane, Alta., native to a three-year deal this year in hopes he could help replace some of the offence taken out of the lineup by Michael Cammalleri’s free-agent departure.

Raymond said that while he appreciated the personal accomplishment, he felt it was more important to get the victory with the team starting a sixgame road trip in Edmonton.

“Those two points were huge for us,’’ he said. “It got us in the win column and trending in the right direction. We let them back into it after a good start, but we battled back hard and that showed some character.’’

Flames forward Mikael Backlund said Raymond’s performance was a good sign, especially considering the new Flame was limited to just a pair of pre-season games because of a lowerbody injury.

“It is great for him, great to see him get those goals,’’ he said. “Just like me, he missed most of camp, so it is nice to see him get a confidence boost.’’

Jiri Hudler and T.J. Brodie also scored for the Flames, who avoided losses on consecutive nights to improve to 1-1.

Karri Ramo made 38 saves to record the win in the Calgary net.

“I was lucky a few times,’’ Ramo said. “It was a real battle for us. We figured it out at the end and we kept on battling and working harder than them. That is how it is going to have to be the whole year. We have to be the harder working team.’’

Teddy Purcell and Taylor Hall scored for the Oilers, who are 0-1.

“That’s a frustrating way to start the season,’’ said Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins. “I thought we had a ton of good in our game. ... Our power play was excellent. I’m not going to walk out here and say we played crappy, because we didn’t. But we lost the game and that’s unacceptable.’’

Hall said it is important that the team recognize how they did dominate the game for most of the first and second periods.

Calgary Flames’ Jiri Hudler (24) scores a goal on Edmonton Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens during first period NHL action in Edmonton on Thursday.

“We feel like we came with the right game plan and for the most part executed. That (slow start) happens,’’ he said. “I thought we did a pretty good job of recovering and sticking to our game plan throughout the game. We definitely gave up some Grade A chances, that’s for sure, but hope to shore those up and keep doing the things we did well.’’

Calgary silenced the home crowd early with a goal three minutes into the game when Joe Colborne made a nice feed to Mark Giordano in the slot. Giordano’s shot was tipped by Raymond past Edmonton starter Ben Scrivens. It was Raymond’s 100th career NHL goal.

Exactly a minute later, the Flames went up 2-0 as Sean Monahan got the puck on a defensive miscue behind the Edmonton net and passed in front to Hudler, who scored on Calgary’s third shot of the game.

Edmonton got back into the game with seven minutes left in the first period with a power-play goal. David Perron made a long pass to Purcell at the opposite face-off dot and he blasted a shot past Ramo.

The Oilers outshot Calgary 14-7 through the first 20 minutes.

Edmonton tied the game with eightand-a-half minutes remaining in the second period as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins criss-crossed with Hall on a twoman advantage and Hall unleashed a rocket into the top corner to make it 2-2.

The shots favoured Edmonton 25-11 at the end of the second period.

Calgary managed to regain the lead four-and-a-half minutes into the third period as Lance Bouma made a nice chip pass to send Raymond away on a partial breakaway. Raymond beat Scrivens high to the glove side for his second of the game.

The Flames put the game away with five minutes remaining as Hudler saw Raymond charging hard to the net and sent it in front for a tip-in to complete the hat trick.

Brodie made it 5-2 on a scramble in front of the Edmonton net in the final minute on a Calgary power play.

Both teams return to action on Saturday as the Oilers begin a three-game trip in Vancouver against the Canucks

while the Flames play the second game of their six-destination road swing in St. Louis.

Notes: The Oilers had the added pressure of playing in front of the 1984 Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup-winning squad, in town to celebrate their 30th anniversary of their first of five NHL titles in a seven-year span. Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, and Lee Fogolin dropped the puck before the game and will be featured in a special gala celebration on Friday at Rexall Place. The Flames announced on Thursday that 2014 fourth overall pick Sam Bennett will undergo shoulder surgery next week and is expected to miss four to six months after getting injured in the pre-season. The third overall pick from 2014, Leon Draisaitl made his debut for the Oilers. Calgary made a pair of significant lineup changes after its 4-2 loss in Vancouver on Wednesday. Raphael Diaz replaced Dennis Wideman on defence and David Jones played up front in place of Brian McGrattan. The Flames won three of the five games in the season series against Edmonton last season.

Thanksgiving feast. Traditionally a tired but happy ’Riders team gets annihilated by Montreal in these early games, but I saw enough ’Riders tenacity last weekend to pick them to defy logic and win the game.

The ’Riders have brought aging has-been quarterback Kerry Joseph into town for a look and he should motivate starter Tino Sunseri to play more than a half of good football against the Als. Sunseri has a window of opportunity that is closing fast unless he can make quicker decisions on the field. He is already a more accurate passer than Darian Durant, but he has to make faster reads.

The learning curve is steep for Sunseri and a win against the aggressive Montreal defence will solidify his hold on the starter’s job. I think he will do it.

The last game of the weekend is a Monday afternoon game between Edmonton and

Winnipeg. I recommend Eskimos fans attend the game, if only to avoid the endless, tired turkey dinner gag that will plague the TSN broadcast on TV all day on Monday. TSN is brutal at on-field camera coverage, yet they are unsurpassed at camera angles on a turkey carcass. They need to find camera people who actually understand football instead of hockey to cover games.

Back to the football game: I see no hope for Winnipeg in this game unless they took a long look at the game film from last weekend’s EskimosArgos game.

The Argos controlled the Eskimos pressure defence with a strong run game and the Bombers will need to do the same. Not sure if that will happen and I see an Eskimos victory in this final game of the Thanksgiving weekend.

“I felt really good (at the summer camp) and I thought I played really well and put myself into a good position coming into this season,” he continued.

His chances of being invited to the final selection camp in December will hinge on how he performs between now and then.

Tonight’s game will be Fleury’s third since being returned to the Rebels. He’s without a point through his first two outings and is minus-2 in the plus/ minus category.

“I have to get back to my game as fast as I can. I struggled a bit in the first two games, but I felt good in practice this week and I’m ready to take big step

here for us,” he said.

Rebels associate coach Jeff Truitt isn’t surprised regarding Fleury’s rather slow start to the season. He’s also confident the big blueliner will be back in fine form in short order.

“He made great strides last year and now that he’s back from Carolina there will be a bit of a period of adjustment.

What he has to do now is build on that foundation on a teamfirst concept,” said Truitt.

“It’s a little tough being in a National Hockey League camp, then coming back here and wanting to do everything on your own. What has to happen now is he has to really buy in, and he can and he has. It’s just

a matter of now that he’s in that period of transition he has to understand exactly what we’re doing.

“We’ve made some changes from last year’s strategies and he has to be able to understand those things.”

Fleury will, with his skating and puck-moving skills, be a major part of the team this season, Truitt added.

“We’re looking for big things from him, obviously. He’s an experienced guy now and it’s time for him to take another step up.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Choice of Red Deer for Memorial Cup the right decision

Red Deer Rebels defenceman Haydn Fleury has brought some valuable insights back from the Carolina Hurricanes training camp and now is set to work hard in helping his team win games while also getting himself more prepared to take the next step in his career.

INSIDER

In fact, Toigo was under the impression that the vote would go in the Giants’ favour.

“I thought we had it,” he told Steve Ewen of the Vancouver Province. “We’re disappointed, Our guys thrive on the big events. So does the market.”

Toigo admitted he wasn’t aware of the final vote count.

“I don’t know what the number was, but I’m going to try to find out,” he said. “It might have been a tie. (Commissioner) Rob Robison might have had to break it.”

The notion that Robison cast the deciding vote is a wild guess on Toigo’s part, a long-odds concept.

The league’s head man, however, did give the impression that Red Deer was the right pick, a deserving winner.

“There’s a loyal fan base in Red Deer and quite frankly I really like the idea that we’re returning to a market that is the traditional junior hockey market in this country,” he said.

“Red Deer is a community that has supported their franchise so well and has hosted major events in the past, the world juniors included.

“The facility (Centrium) has all the elements that a NHL facility has and will give us the ability to host sponsors, accommodate media and do all the things that are needed to pro-

vide the best experience that we can.”

Robison used real estate agent jargon as he continued to expound the benefits of Red Deer as a Memorial Cup host.

Location, location, location.

“There’s not a more ideal location to host it in Alberta than Red Deer,” he said.

“The Rebels are all about Central Alberta and their impact is felt in not only the city of Red Deer but throughout the communities that are such great hockey communities. Part of this is going to be a festival of hockey for Alberta and it will be a celebration that will extend well beyond Red Deer, and I’m sure that was a key consideration in the governors’ decision.”

While Toigo was disappointed, he was also gracious in defeat.

“They (Rebels) got lots of government money and our government stepped up like never before,” he told the Province, in regards to provincial government backing. “In the end, Brent (Rebels owner/GM/head coach Sutter) did a better job of getting votes than I did.

“He’ll do a great job. This will be the best one (Memorial Cup) we’ve had in awhile.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Bigger, faster and stronger.

In comparison to most major junior players, National Hockey League skaters are all of the above. Haydn Fleury discovered exactly that when he attended the rookie and main camps of the Carolina Hurricanes, and yet he also noticed another major difference between juniors and pros — work habits.

“Just the pace that those guys play at and the work they put in each and every day to be pros who play for 10 to 12 years . . . just the habits they have, those are things I have to bring back to the team and help our guys out with,” the Red Deer Rebels defenceman said Thursday, prior to a practice session leading into tonight’s 7 p.m. clash with the visiting Medicine Hat Tigers.

“If I can adapt those work habits I’ll become a better player here and a better pro in the long run.”

Fleury was reassigned by the Hurricanes, who selected the six-foot-three product of Carlyle, Sask., seventh overall in this year’s NHL entry draft, to the Rebels late last week. He remains a work in progress, but is also a highly-regarded prospect and a player the Carolina organization hopes to see in ‘Canes silks sooner than later.

When Fleury received his pink slip, he was told by the Carolina coaching staff to continue working on the defensive side of his game with the Rebels this season.

“I just need to keep getting stronger, keep maturing my game and avoid making the big mistakes when I’m trying to skate the puck,” he said. “They told me to just keep it simple, manage the game better and be ready to make their team full time next year.”

Fleury, as the Rebels No. 1 rearguard, will certainly get all the ice time he requires this winter to continue to progress while showcasing his skills.

“I need to be very trustworthy for the coaches this year.

I’m 18 now and I can’t be making the mistakes I was making when I was 16 and 17,” said Fleury, who attended the Hockey Canada national junior team summer development camp in Quebec in August.

Generals add speed and youth for 2014

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR The Bentley Generals 201415 roster features more than a few new faces, but the team’s goal remains the same — to win their last game of the season.

“We’ve set the bar in senior hockey and to keep that bar going up we have to keep going up,” said veteran Generals defenceman Don Morrison.

“Everyone is trying to beat us, we’ve always had that target on our backs and that’s what drives us to keep getting better and better every year. Our expectations are to always be in that final game of the season and win it every year.

That’s our mentality and we don’t take it lightly. It’s a very serious thing for us.”

The Generals won the Allan Cup in 2013 in Red Deer for the second time in franchise history, then got back to the national senior AAA hockey showcase last spring in Dundas, Ont., and finished with a 1-4 record.

It was time, surmised team manager Jeff McInnis, for change. The Generals, during the off-season, added speed and newer birth certificates.

“I think we are faster and younger this season, and that’s certainly by design,” said McInnis. “That was the modus operandi for our recruiting during the summer. I don’t really sit still a lot. We’ve got a pretty special group and we’d like to keep it going.”

The biggest-name addition during the summer months was Lacombe native and forward Cam Maclise, who in 2013 led the Brooks Bandits to the Royal Bank Cup championship and was named the top junior A player in the nation.

Maclise played at the University of New Brunswick last season, then decided to switch over to Mount Royal University in Calgary. As a result, he has to sit out — or red-shirt — this season with the CIS Cougars and will play for the Generals when he’s not attending classes.

“UNB’s misfortune is, I guess, our good fortune,” said McInnis. “Cam is a Lacombe boy who gets to play near home for a winter while redshirting.”

The Generals’ new players also include forwards Torrie Dyck, Jade Galbraith, Chance Lund, Alex MacLeod and Scott Aucoin, defenceman Giffen Nyren and goaltender Dustin Butler.

“I believe our club is younger and faster and in a better position to succeed,” he said. “If you look at our players’ graph from last year and where their careers were, we have more guys now who are at the peak of their careers than in the downward trend.”

Added Morrison: “We’ve definitely gotten younger, we’re just solid all the way through just like last year.

This year, though, we have some new young legs which will help out. We’re forever improving because the (Chinook) league is always improving.”

Head coach Ryan Tobler welcomes the change in personnel.

“Give credit to (McInnis) for finding these guys and credit to them for committing to come here,” said Tobler. “From what I’ve seen so far, they’ve been nothing but great. I think they’re really going to contribute and help us this year.”

Indeed, so far, so good for the new-look Gens, who are 4-0 in preseason play including a pair of victories in the SAIT tournament.

“We have a winning attitude here and it’s fun to be a part of,” said Tobler. “You like to see a work ethic in the preseason and I was happy with that in all four of our exhibition games.”

The Generals lost their long-time captain during the off-season when Sean Robertson decided to pull the plug on his playing career. But with the likes of Morrison, Curtis Austring and Brett Thurston, among others, still on the roster, McInnis believes the team still has enough on-ice leaders.

“Absolutely. What makes our club special is that we have men who have immersed themselves in it for years and years,” he noted. “Sean is a special guy and as sad as we were to see him go, we knew that day would come. But we have a bunch of guys who have been captains on other teams.”

Morrison, for one, has no problem with taking on an extended leadership role.

“Most definitely, this year moreso than in years past just because of the youth we’ve added,” he said. “I’ve been a leader in the past and I’ll continue.”

The Generals open their Chinook Hockey League season Oct. 19 at 2:30 p.m. in Lacombe against the Stony Plain Eagles. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Argos coach believes club must beat Hamilton to keep hopes for first place alive TORONTO — Scott Milanovich wasn’t mincing words Thursday.

The Toronto head coach said if the Argonauts want to finish atop the East Division, they must beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night.

“We do recognize how important this is towards positioning,” Milanovich said. “If we want to win the East, theoretically we have to win this one.

“Technically it’s not over (if the Argos lose) but we’re looking at this like it’s a playoff game.”

Toronto (5-8) hosts Hamilton (6-7) at Rogers Centre after the Ticats won the first meeting 1312 on Sept. 1 at Tim Hortons Field. A win would move the Argos into a first-place tie and even the season series 1-1 with the final meeting slated for Oct. 25 at Rogers Centre.

Hamilton would not only clinch the season series with a victory but move four points ahead of Toronto with both having four regular-season games remaining. The first-place finisher secures home-field advantage for the East final.

That would work well for the surging Ticats, who’ve won four straight and are 4-0 at Tim Hortons Field.

A loss Friday wouldn’t be devastating for Hamilton, which also has two games with Ottawa (2-11) and another with Montreal (5-8) remaining. The Ticats would still control their ability to finish first.

Toronto wouldn’t so

fortunate as a loss Friday would mean they’d need help to finish first.

The Argos would have to shift their focus on second spot — and getting home field for the East semifinal — with two key meetings left with Montreal, which also remains very much in the playoff picture.

“I don’t think Toronto is any different than us or Montreal in that regard,” Ticats head coach/ GM Kent Austin said.

Raiders rack up big win over Cougars

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Raiders 35, Cougars 14 Not a bad way to celebrate a birthday.

As Sam Vesely turned 17-yearsold, he returned an interception for a touchdown to seal a 35-14 win for the Lindsay Thurber Raiders over the Notre Dame Cougars in Central Alberta High School Football League action at Great Chief Park on Thursday.

It was my birthday present to me,” said Vesely with a laugh.

“I saw (Cougars quarterback Keegan MacDonald) leaning in, I could tell he was coming to the inside, so I guessed a little bit and I chanced it and I got it right. The quarterback throws to his spot and I was right there, he threw it right to me and I just ran.”

The score put the Raiders up 35-0, 2:45 into the third quarter and was their second major in 29 seconds to start the half.

Vesely had a solid all-round game, helping to limit a dangerous Notre Dame passing game, especially explosive wide receiver Jesse Kowalchuk.

“He’s always a sure-hand, picking up that football,” said Raiders head coach Dave Smith. “He’s one of the fastest kids in the league, and he was great — Kowalchuk down at the end there as well and Kowalchuk is a fast kid.”

Most importantly, the win all but locks up the top seed in the league for the Raiders, heading into playoffs in two weeks, at 4-1-0 — they have one game remaining against the winless Lacombe Rams on Oct. 17 in Lacombe — and snapped a frustrating losing streak against Notre Dame, their arch rivals.

“A lot of these guys, we’ve never won against Dame, this is our first win ever,” said Vesely. “It was real big for us as we move forward into provincials.”

The Cougars started out slow and Lindsay Thurber took full advantage.

Quarterback Ben Pasiuk connected with Alastair Mahood for a 17 yard score on a crossing route at 6:17 of the opening quarter. On Notre Dame’s ensuing drive, Tony Morelli recovered a Johannes Smith fumble for the Raiders at the Lindsay Thurber 42-yard line.

A few plays later and Bradley Pope punched it in on the ground from five yards out to put Thurber up 14-0.

At 6:20 the second quarter, after a punt return to the Notre Dame 10-yard line, Pasiuk hit Pope for a 15-yard touch down on a roll out to his left, to stretch the lead to three touchdowns.

Things went from bad to worse for the Cougars in the second half, despite

starting with the ball. Despite getting the ball to start the third quarter, they went two-and-out on their first drive.

However, a bad snap set the Raiders up on the Notre Dame 21. On the next play Pasiuk hit receiver Kolbi Street on another crossing patter and he found the end zone.

After the kickoff, Cougars quarterback Keegan MacDonald dropped back to pass, but it appeared to be tipped and Vesely took it back to stretch the Raiders’ lead to 35-0.

The Cougars scored two touchdowns in the final quarter-and-a-half, but the game was out of reach.

“Their big guys came to play,” said Cougars head coach Gino Castellan.

“That’s a good team and we didn’t play really well.”

It was just an all-round terrific game for the Raiders.

Pasiuk finished 9-for-20 for 131 yards, four touchdowns and one interception, while rushing for another 46 yards on five attempts. Earlier in the season, those yardage totals would have been reversed, but the Grade 11 quarterback is starting to develop the passing game.

“He’s becoming a more complete quarterback, and kudos to our receiving corps, they’re catching their balls and that’s opening things up,” said Dave Smith.

Pope also had a huge game on the ground, running for a game high 119 yards on eight touches, including a 51-yard scamper late in the second quarter.

“He’s gotten better and better these last two games, he’s running with authority now and the offensive line is getting him some space and that makes a big difference too,” said Smith.

The loss means Notre Dame will either finish second or third in the league and a match up with the Hunting Hills Lightning is guaranteed in the first round.

They will also play Hunting Hills in their final regular season game on Oct. 17 at 7 p.m.

“It’s a nothing game,” said Castellan. “We want to get some positive momentum, but we also want to try and get some kids into the game as well.”

NOTES — MacDonald finished 10for-24 for 135 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He also ran in the final score of the game on a one-yard rollout at 2:08 of the fourth quarter and finished with 40 yards on eight rushes ... Kowalchuk finished with six catches for 85 yards and one touch down and one interception of his own ... Smith led the Cougars with 105 yards on 19 rushes ... The Raiders took 13 penalties for 170 yards while the Cougars had eight for 75 yards. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. — New team name, new building name, same ownership drama for the Arizona Coyotes.

Only nothing regarding new majority ownership of the team, as indicated in previous reports, was announced before Thursday night’s season opener.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, speaking before Arizona hosted Winnipeg, said the Coyotes franchise is doing well. Then he fielded questions from reporters about a potential new investor, Philadelphia hedge fund manager Andrew Barroway, at Gila River Arena.

Bettman confirmed that current Coyotes owners George Gosbee and Anthony LeBlanc and their partners have received an unsolicited expression of interest in joining the IceArizona ownership group.

“It’s been all good. I think the vital signs are terrific and everything is headed in the right direction,” Bettman said.

“Nothing has been finalized. It’s conceivable nothing will be finalized.

It’s possible something will get finalized. But what it means is the franchise is headed in such a direction that there are people with substantial resources

who want to be a part of this and want to bring additional assets and support to the franchise.”

Bettman added that any speculation about what the new ownership stake would mean as far as relocation of the Coyotes is unfounded.

“It’s off the mark,” he said. “If this comes to fruition, that’s great news.

Even if it doesn’t, the fact the interest is there is just a testament to how much progress the franchise has made.”

Any transaction is subject to league approval. IceArizona wasn’t looking for more investors and the league didn’t expect any further activity, Bettman said, while not confirming or denying that Barroway is the investor who expressed interest.

The Coyotes were in danger of leaving Arizona in 2009 when former owner Jerry Moyes took the team into bankruptcy in an attempt to sell it. But the NHL and the city of Glendale, where the Coyotes play, fought the sale in court and the league bought the team and ran it until last year.

After years of potential owners backing out and much speculation from one season to the next about whether the Coyotes would continue to play in the Valley of the Sun, IceArizona completed its purchase after reaching a deal on a lease agreement.

Luck leads charge as Colts down Texans

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Colts 33 Texans 28 HOUSTON — When Indianapolis raced to a big lead over the Houston Texans in the first quarter, Colts coach Chuck Pagano was worried they’d let up.

They did, but that early lead was so big that they were still able to hold on for a 33-28 victory Thursday night.

“You’re going up and down on the sideline screaming at everybody: ’Don’t take your foot off the gas,”’ Pagano said.

“Next thing you know, just like that (it’s close). It’s never over in this league.”

The Colts (4-2) led 24-0 after one quarter, but allowed Houston (3-3) to cut it to 33-28 early in the fourth quarter on J.J. Watt’s fumble return for a touchdown.

“You give a team a 24-point lead right out the gate, you’re going to have a difficult time,” Watt said.

The Texans had two opportunities to take the lead late, but the Colts recovered fumbles by Andre Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the last five minutes.

“You can finally start to see the type of defence that we envisioned a long time ago to go out there and do that week in and week out,” Pagano said.

Luck finished with 370 yards passing and three touchdowns for his fourth straight 300-yard passing game and T.Y. Hilton had a career-high 223 yards receiving with a touchdown to give Indy first place in the AFC South.

“We realized with the recent history of Thursday night games, teams who are going on the road are struggling, and we didn’t want to do that,” Luck

said. “We were lucky enough to get off on that fast start. It takes focus, and you almost have to trick yourself into it.”

The Texans were driving with less than five minutes remaining when Johnson — called for pass interference two plays earlier — caught a 13-yard pass and fumbled.

Watt knocked down Luck’s pass on third down on Indy’s next drive to give Houston one last chance. But Bjoern Werner sacked Fitzpatrick and stripped the ball and D’Qwell Jackson recovered.

“I was trying to make a play ... just poor ball security,” Fitzpatrick said.

Fitzpatrick threw for 212 yards and a touchdown and Arian Foster had 109 yards rushing with two scores for Houston.

Indianapolis led by 12 when Luck fumbled and Watt recovered it and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. It was Watt’s third touchdown this season. He also has scored on an interception return and a reception.

Foster had a 34-yard run before Johnson grabbed a 26-yard reception to get Houston down to the 2 in the third quarter. Foster ran wide before cutting back inside and into the end zone untouched on the next play to get the Texans to 27-21.

The Texans were within six points in the third quarter when Luck, who was under heavy pressure, threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Hilton. The 2-point conversion failed, leaving Indianapolis up 33-21.

After a dreadful first quarter where Houston managed just 2 yards, the Texans’ offence finally got going in the second quarter. They kicked a

They took advantage of the opportunity when Fitzpatrick found Johnson in the corner of the end zone and he managed to get both feet in bounds for a 4-yard touchdown two plays later to cut the lead to 24-7. It was the first touchdown of the season for Johnson.

Houston got the ball back when Jared Crick tipped a pass by Luck that was intercepted by Justin Tuggle.

The Texans got to 2414 when Foster scored on a

12-yard run.

The Colts added field goal to make it 27-14.

Luck found Hilton on a 40-yard pass early in the first quarter, but Indy’s offence stalled after that and the Colts settled for a field goal to make it 3-0.

Trent Richardson had a 5-yard touchdown run on a two-play drive that included a 49-yard pass to Hilton.

The play was originally ruled a touchdown after Hilton recovered from a fall seemingly untouched by defender Kareem Jackson and reached

the end zone. The play was reviewed and the call reversed, with Hilton ruled down by contact at the 5.

The Colts pushed the lead to 17-0 when Ahmad Bradshaw scored on a 5-yard pass from Luck with about seven minutes left in the first quarter.

The Texans had to punt again after Fitzpatrick was sacked by Werner for an 8-yard loss on third down after Bradshaw’s score.

Luck capped a long drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Coby Fleener at the end of the first quarter.

RODEO

As well, the season awards and CFR personnel have been announced. Among the winners was Rimbey’s Dean Edge, whose great horse Sid was named tie-down rope horse of the Year for an incredible sixth time. Ponoka Stampede received the nod for committee of the year.

Sylvan Lake’s Brett Gardiner was named announcer of the year for the fourth straight year. He’ll also be announcing at the Canadian Finals this year.

Now the attention turns to the Foothills Cowboys Association which kicks off its Cowboy Classic Finals Rodeo tonight at Westerner Park.

There are four performances where the season’s top 10 get a chance to claim the championship titles in a sudden-death format. The lineup includes perennial local favorites such as Bentley’s Troy Pollitt and his friend/rival Rudy Nieborg of Rimbey.

Calgary’s Keenan Reinhardt had the best regular season in the bronc riding again this year. He also won the novice event at the Calgary Stampede, and would love to add an FCA buckle to his collection. But Red Deer’s Kelsey Koenning will be giving him a run for his money on that. Rocky’s Branden Dillman is in the bareback pen, while Delburne’s Shane Peters is in the bull riding.

Tonight’s Cowboy Classic opening performance is at 7 p.m., followed by 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. performance Saturday and then wrapping up at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Stockmens Pavilion.

Penguins open with high scoring win NHL ROUNDUP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PENGUINS 6 DUCKS 4 PITTSBURGH — NHL MVP Sidney Crosby scored twice and added an assist as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-4 Thursday night in the season opener for both teams.

Pascal Dupuis added a goal and three assists in his return from knee surgery for the Penguins, who rolled to victory in new coach Mike Johnston’s debut.

Patrick Hornqvist, Blake Comeau and Brandon Sutter also scored for Pittsburgh. Marc-Andre Fleury made 25 saves.

Corey Perry had a hat trick for the Ducks, who collapsed after erasing an early three-goal deficit. Ryan Kesler added a goal in his debut with Anaheim. John Gibson struggled while making his first start in his hometown, stopping 33 of 39 shots.

The Penguins underwent a massive overhaul following a fifth straight spring that ended without a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. Pittsburgh fired coach Dan Bylsma and general manager Ray Shero and brought in former Carolina Hurricanes executive Jim Rutherford, who hired the well-travelled Johnston.

BLACKHAWKS 3, STARS 2, SO DALLAS (AP) — Patrick Sharp scored the tying goal in the third period, and Patrick Kane had the only goal in the shootout to lift Chicago over Dallas.

PGA TOUR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NAPA, Calif. — The new PGA Tour season felt like an old one to a trio of Ryder Cup players Thursday at the Frys. com Open.

Hunter Mahan, Matt Kuchar and Jimmy Walker met on the 10th tee at Silverado. With a morning chill in the air and beautiful scenery of Napa Valley, it was vaguely similar to the rolling hills of Gleneagles just two weeks ago at the Ryder Cup. Except that no one was singing. There was hardly anyone in the grandstand, or on the golf course.

“It’s a little strange off the tee when no one is really here at 7:45,” Mahan said after opening with a 2-under 70, leaving him four shots out of the lead. “And out there at 7, everyone is singing along and the party is already started.”

It was back to normal for those three Americans, along with Lee Westwood of England, who made two late birdies to salvage a 73.

And it was another chance for Andres Gonzalez, who made it back to the PGA Tour for the third time. He has yet to keep his card, and while this was only the first round of the new wraparound season, he was plenty happy with no bogeys on his card and a 6-under 66.

Bae Sang-moon made seven birdies in the afternoon and joined Gonzalez at 66. They were a shot ahead of Martin Laird. Brooks Koepka was in a large group at 68.

The star attraction at the Frys.com Open was the Ryder Cup trio, and there were about 500 people tagging along by the end of their round.

The par-5 ninth summed up the round for each of them.

Mahan lagged perfectly from 75 feet for a two-putt birdie. Kuchar showed off a sharp short game, and his pitch from short of the green struck the pin and settled about a foot away.

He shot 71. Walker thought his full wedge was perfect until it took a hard hop and landed in a gnarly spot in the rough, leading to a bogey and a 75.

Most of them would have preferred at least another week off.

Walker is defending a title for the first time in his career. Mahan and Kuchar are at the Frys. com Open as part of a deal with the PGA Tour for letting them play an exhibition in Turkey two years ago.

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy also were supposed to play this year until they deferred, McIlroy because he was wiped out from a busy summer of winning backto-back majors, Woods while he tries to regain his explosiveness from back surgery earlier in the year.

The tour is in its second year of a wraparound season that starts in October and ends with the Tour Championship in September, and it’s still hard to digest that everyone is starting over at Silverado.

“It’s already a new year and Santa hasn’t even come yet,” Stuart Appleby said after a 69.

“I’ve just had a month off. I don’t know what happened to it, where it went.”

The tour put the three American Ryder Cup players together, and it felt like old times when Andy Sanders, Walker’s caddie, wore a Ryder Cup jacket to fight the chill.

“We were giving him a hard time for not letting it go,” Kuchar said.

Kyle Busch shows speed for Joe Gibbs Racing as Toyota takes 2 of top 3 spots in qualifying

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCORD, N.C. — Kyle Busch showed Joe Gibbs Racing may have found some speed at just the right time of the season with a pole-winning run Thursday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Busch turned a lap at 197.390 mph to earn the top starting spot for Saturday night’s race. Denny Hamlin, his JGR teammate, qualified his Toyota third. Wedged in the middle was Jeff Gordon of Hendrick Motorsports, who went 197.217 to qualify his Chevrolet second.

“We’re edging our way to the top, but anything can happen in this game,” Busch said. “It’s a fickle business. You’ve got to take things one step at a time.”

Such is the nature of NASCAR’s new elimination format in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Four drivers are eliminated every three races, and several top names are in trouble as they head into the second race of the second round. Sixtime and defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Brad Keselowski go into Saturday night’s race needing very strong runs to give themselves breathing room headed into next week’s elimination race at Talladega.

Two of the three failed to make it into the final round of Thursday night qualifying.

Johnson, winner of the Coca-Cola 600 here in May, had to wave off his first qualifying attempt and squeaked into the second round with a late run.

He then failed to make it out of the second round. Johnson will start 21st and is ranked last in the 12-driver Chase field.

“Just didn’t have the speed there on that final run,” Johnson said. “It’s disappointing. There’s no way around it.”

Also surprising was that both Keselowski and Joey Logano, two of the top qualifiers all season, failed to advance into the final round. It’s only the second time this season both Penske cars have failed to make it to the final round of qualifying.

“We’ve been off a little bit in qualifying

Kyle Busch takes a bow with the checkered flag after he won the NASCAR Nationwide series auto race, Sept. 27, 2014, at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del. trim since we’ve been here,” Keselowski said. “But I thought our race trim was really good in practice and that’s the most important thing so we’ll keep working.”

Logano will start 13th with Keselowski 17th. Logano won last week to earn an automatic berth into the third round, and Keselowski was dominant in the first round of the Chase but is currently ranked 10th in the field.

“We are going to be all right in the race,” Logano said. “This track is very much on the razor’s edge. It takes just a small mistake or the car being just a little bit off to lose some time. It’s fine though. We can see the front of the field and the car was good in race trim.”

Earnhardt did make it into the final round, along with three other championship-eligible drivers. Ryan Newman qualified fifth, Kevin Harvick was seventh, Earnhardt was ninth and Carl Edwards 10th.

It was a strong day for Stewart-Haas

Racing, which spent two days testing at Charlotte last week. Harvick, Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch were among the fastest four drivers in Thursday practice, and they showed their speed throughout the three qualifying rounds.

Kurt Busch actually set the track record with a lap at 198.771 mph in the second round of qualifying. It broke Hamlin’s record of 195.624 set in 2013 and was the fastest lap ever recorded on a 1.5-mile track.

Kurt Busch will start 11th, and Harvick seventh. Stewart will lead the SHR contingent from the fourth starting spot, his best qualifying effort in the seven races he’s entered since sitting out three following the death of sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. Trevor Bayne failed to qualify for the race. He was attempting to make it in an extra car for Roush Fenway Racing, where he’ll drive the No. 6 in the Sprint Cup Series next season.

Similarities stop at the baserunning ROYALS, ORIOLES HAVE LOTS IN COMMON EXCEPT FOR THE WAY THEY GET AROUND THE BASES

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Speed versus Power.

The surprising Kansas City Royals and unflappable Baltimore Orioles are extremely similar with one significant exception: the fashion in which they score runs. The team that best utilizes its standard method of offence will likely win the best-of-seven AL Championship Series, which begins Friday night.

Get ready for small ball versus long ball.

Back in April, few could have predicted these two teams would be the last standing in the American League.

But the fashion in which they got here — with stunningly easy sweeps in the Division Series — makes this matchup intriguing.

Even more interesting is their contrasting styles.

The Royals love to take an extra base, whether it’s turning a single into a double or stealing their way into scoring position.

Kansas City led the majors with 153 stolen bases during the regular season then, with blazing-fast rookie Terrance Gore, added seven in a wild-card win over Oakland and five more in a three-game wipeout of the top-seeded Los Angeles Angels.

“Speed. That’s what we do,” designated hitter Billy Butler said. “Obviously you have to be smart about it, but we’re a very aggressive team. When our speed guys get on they like to go. That’s what got us to this point — that, and pitching and defence.”

The Orioles, like the Royals, feature a solid starting rotation, an effective bullpen and strong defence.

But Baltimore prefers to take a more leisurely trip around the bases.

Although Baltimore finished dead last in the majors with 44 stolen bases, it led the majors with 211 home runs.

Nelson Cruz had 40 of them, only 55 fewer than the Royals hit while finishing last in the big leagues as the only team that didn’t hit 100.

And so, the lines are drawn.

Whichever pitching staff can stifle the opposition’s preferred method of offence will likely be working in the World Series.

“Obviously, we’ll be asked to keep the Orioles in check in terms of their power and the big inning,” said Royals righthander Jeremy Guthrie, who pitched for Baltimore from 2007-11. “On the flip side, the Orioles pitchers will be asked to try and keep our guys off base and not allow us to string together a couple of hits to get us runs.”

It’s really that simple.

“The best way to keep them from stealing is to keep them off the bases. That’s our first goal,” Baltimore reliever Tommy Hunter said. “I’m not too worried about it. You know they’re fast, you know they run. Hopefully they run into outs.”

That doesn’t mean Kansas City can’t go deep, or the Orioles are unable to run. It’s just that each team has adopted the style best suited for its own stadium.

“The Royals can hit home runs. They just play in a big ballpark,” Baltimore centre fielder Adam Jones said.

“They’ve got guys who can drive the ball, and we’ve also got guys who can run. In our ballpark it brings a different dynamic because it’s smaller, in their ballpark, it brings a different dynamic because it’s bigger.

But we’ve got some hairy guys on our team. If we’re hitting in the Grand Canyon, we can still put ’em out.”

Cruz homered in the Orioles’ clinching win over Detroit on Sunday, and just a few hours later Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas each contributed a two-run shot in the Royals’ 8-3 win over L.A. “Home runs are definite-

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost, right, talks with starting pitcher Jason Vargas during practice for the American League baseball championship series Thursday, in Baltimore. The Royals will play the Baltimore Orioles starting Friday. ly a difference-maker in the game,” Butler said. “That’s what we’ve done in the playoffs. We’ve had home runs win games, but that hasn’t been the way we won games throughout the season. Still, they’re good to have when you get them.”

The pitching matchup Friday pits Kansas City’s James Shields against right-hander Chris Tillman. Shields is 11-7 lifetime against Baltimore, including 2-0 this season.

Shields chose not to explain his success against the Orioles

except to say, “It’s one of those things, I guess. I feel like I can pitch good against any team on any given day.”

Kansas City hasn’t reached the World Series since 1985, and Baltimore’s dry spell runs from 1983. After wearing the underdog label in their last series, this one looks to be a tossup.

“I think it’s two great baseball teams going up against each other,” Moustakas said.

“It doesn’t really matter who’s favoured or who is not.”

Hosmer said, “Both ballclubs are ready, both ballclubs know the strength of their team and both ballclubs have done a good job of sticking to those strengths.”

The rosters are not required to be submitted until Friday, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter said his 25man list would not include slugger Chris Davis, who is serving a 25-game suspension for amphetamine use and would not be eligible until Game 6.

Cardinals build winners from within 17 OF 25 DIVISION SERIES PLAYERS HOMEGROWN

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Matt Carpenter, whose bases-loaded double off Clayton Kershaw propelled St. Louis to victory in its NL Division Series opener, was a 13thround draft pick signed for $1,000 five years ago.

Kolten Wong, who hit the tiebreaking, two-run homer for the Cardinals in Game 3 against the Dodgers, was a first-round selection in 2011 with a $1.3 million signing bonus.

And Matt Adams, whose three-run homer in Game 4 on Tuesday put St. Louis in the NL Championship Series for the fourth straight year, cost just $25,000 to sign when the Cardinals drafted him in the 23rd round in 2009 — the 699th pick overall.

Building largely from within in the free-agent era, St. Louis topped the 10 postseason teams with 17 homegrown players on its 25-man division-series roster, according to STATS. The total cost of those initial contracts: $13,082,500.

That’s just more than half the $23 million the Los Angeles Angels are paying Albert Pujols, the three-time NL MVP who left the Cardinals after the 2011 World Series title for the riches of southern California.

“That’s something we as an organization take a lot of pride in,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said, “when you see how many of these kids came up through and are contributing, not just making it here,

but thriving at this level and helping us to be able to walk in there and pop champagne.”

Among the post-season teams, Kansas City is second with 13 homegrown players, followed by San Francisco (12), the Angels (11), Washington and the Dodgers (10 each), Pittsburgh (nine), Baltimore and Detroit (seven each) and Oakland (one) — pitcher Sean Doolittle.

While baseball’s biggest spenders already are home, the final four teams rank sixth in payroll (San Francisco), 11th (St. Louis), 14th (Baltimore) and 19th (Kansas City).

Baseball’s collective bargaining system rewards teams that made good scouting decisions on young players, whose salaries are a fraction of what veteran stars earn.

“We have to use our farm system, obviously, in a variety of ways, not only to transition championship players to the major leagues, but we have to use it to acquire talent,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said.

A swap brought Kansas City ace James Shields, who will start the ALCS opener against the Orioles. The Royals paid a hefty price, sending Wil Myers to Tampa in the 2012 off-season — Myers was last year’s AL Rookie of the Year.

Like the Cardinals, Kansas City had three homegrown players drive in the go-ahead runs in the Division Series — all former high first-round draft picks who have all struggled to live up to their hype: Mike Moustakas ($4 million as second overall in 2007), Eric

St. Louis Cardinals players celebrate on the field after their 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of baseball’s NL Division Series Oct. 7 in St. Louis.

Hosmer ($6 million as third overall in 2008) and Alex Gordon ($4 million as second overall in 2005).

Ten of Kansas City’s players were acquired in the June draft of high school and college players who reside in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, and three were signed as amateur free agents.

Fifteen Cardinals were obtained in the June draft and

two as amateur free agents.

Five more were acquired in trades and just three signed as major league free agents: shortstop Jhonny Peralta and pitchers Randy Choate and Pat Neshek. And while Peralta was given a $53 million, fouryear contract last off-season, Choate is in the middle of a $7.5 million, three-year deal.

Neshek signed a minor league contract just before spring

training, earned a $1 million salary after making the big league team and became a first-time All-Star.

They joined a core of players who have known each other for several years.

“I think it does start in the minor leagues,” Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha said.

“Every single minor leaguer, they’re kind of preached on that whenever you get up to St. Louis, you’re expected to win.”

John Mozeliak was hired by the Cardinals’ scouting department after the 1995 season, kept gaining promotions and became general manager in October 2007. His current roster includes five first-round draft picks — none higher than the 19th selection because St. Louis has had a winning record during each year of his tenure.

And his group also includes passed-over players whose draft slots read a bit like a lottery ticket, with Adams joined by picks Nos. 350 (Seth Maness), 399 (Carpenter), 639 (Trevor Rosenthal), 802 (Tony Cruz) and 965 (Sam Freeman).

Homegrown players aren’t a new trend for St. Louis: Three of them also drove in the goahead runs against Washington in the 2012 NL Division Series: Daniel Descalso, Allen Craig and Pete Kozma.

“I think it shows that they believe within the organization,” Adams said. “They draft guys that they can develop and are their type of player. That’s a big thing, knowing that if you get drafted by the Cardinals, you know that you’re going to have a chance to come up through the organization and play in the big leagues with them.”

Baseball postseason’s hits, trends and errors THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TIMELY TATERS Many of the biggest hits throughout this post-season have been home runs.

In eight of the 16 playoff games so far, the decisive run scored on a long ball. That’s a much higher ratio than the 32.6 per cent mark during regular-season games this year, according to STATS.

Sort of strange considering that offence is down all around the majors.

And even teams that don’t normally flash much power are going yard when it counts in October.

Kansas City ranked last in the majors with 95 home runs during the season, but Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas have two apiece in four playoff games.

Kansas City was the only

club with fewer homers this season than St. Louis, which socked all of 105. But the Cardinals hit seven long balls in four NLDS games against the Dodgers.

In all, the Cardinals scored 13 of their 18 runs in the NLDS on balls that cleared the fence.

EARLY EXITS Both teams that led their league in wins were sent home

quickly, unceremoniously knocked out in the Division Series.

It’s the fifth time that’s happened since the post-season grew from four teams to eight in 1995, according to STATS. The others were 2011 (Yankees and Phillies), 2008 (Angels and Cubs), 2002 (Yankees, Athletics and Braves) and 2000 (White Sox and Giants).

The Yankees and A’s tied for the best AL record in 2002,

but both were eliminated in their first series.

The Los Angeles Angels had the best record in the majors this season at 98-64. The Washington Nationals topped the NL at 96-66. Together, they went 1-6 in the playoffs with three extra-inning losses.

For them, home-field advantage and the chance to open post-season play in their own ballparks meant little against the wild-card winners.

MacDonald’s title shot years in the making CANADIAN WELTERWEIGHT’S JOURNEY BEGAN NINE YEARS AGO AT 16 YEARS-OLD UFC

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Rory MacDonald, left, from Montreal, Que. battles Tarec Saffiedine from Temecula, California in their welterweight bout at UFC Fight Night 4 in Halifax October 4, 2014. MacDonald won after the referee stopped the fight in the third round. at UFC 174 in June 2014.

In the wake of his weekend win over Tarec Saffiedine in Halifax, MacDonald is headed back to Kelowna to see family and friends. While he does not know the date of his title shot, his training continues.

“Nothing crazy though,” he said.

The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu is also prepping for a no-gi grappling match with J.T. Torres at Metamoris 5 on Nov. 22 in Long Beach, Calif.

MacDonald, ranked No. 2 among welterweight contenders, has established his championship credentials, winning three straight and eight of his last nine in the UFC. Recent victims include No. 3 Tyron Woodley, No. 7 Demian Maia, No. 8 Jake Ellenberger and No. 9 Saffiedine.

MacDonald is bidding to join StPierre and Carlos (Ronin) Newton as the only Canadians to hold a UFC championship.

St-Pierre vacated the title last December, saying he needed time away from the sport. He kept training and is currently rehabbing an injured knee.

The 33-year-old from Montreal says he has not decided whether he is coming back.

MacDonald and St-Pierre, who both train at the Tristar Gym in Montreal, both said they would never fight each other for real. So will MacDonald turn to the former champion for advice before his title shot?

“If I see him, I’m sure he’ll have some words for me,” said MacDonald.

“But at the end of the day, it’s a fight.

Sure there’s a piece of gold at the end of the road, but I’ve been in 20 professional fights now and I’m looking at this fight just as I have the other 20

Toronto FC playoff hopes hang by a thread, Vancouver also in need of points MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Toronto FC’s playoff hopes hang by a thread going into a weekend road trip to New York to face the Red Bulls.

In the West, the Whitecaps are also on the outside looking in, but with a game in hand over the Portland Timbers who sit on the playoff bubble.

Neither is sitting pretty. But of the two, Toronto will be squirming a bit more.

In the wake of a 1-0 loss to the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday, Toronto (11-13-7) sits in sixth place — one spot out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference — with three games remaining.

Five teams in each conference make the playoffs. All of the Eastern clubs have three games to play.

Toronto has 40 points, three less than the fifth-place Columbus Crew (11-10-10) and four less than fourthplace New York (11-9-11).

On Wednesday, Toronto coach Greg Vanney said Toronto had lost its margin for error with the Houston setback.

“We’ve got to be almost perfect from here on out,” he said.

A loss or tie Saturday against the Red Bulls and Toronto would still be mathematically alive in the playoff hunt. But there would only be a tiny sliver of hope.

A Toronto loss, coupled with a Columbus win in Philadelphia, would be all but fatal.

That would put the Red Bulls, with 47 points out of reach. Columbus, at 46, would be six points ahead of Toronto with two games to play.

Toronto would then have to win at home against the Montreal Impact and

on the road in New England and hope that Columbus not pick up a point at New York and at home to Philadelphia.

In the event of a tie, Toronto would have the tiebreaker edge over Columbus with more wins.

In the West, sixth-place Vancouver (10-8-13) has work to do after Portland’s 3-0 win over San Jose on Wednesday.

The Whitecaps have 43 points, two behind the Timbers, but have a game in hand, Vancouver visits powerful Seattle on Friday before playing at San Jose and hosting Colorado, two teams already out of the playoffs. Portland finishes at home to Real Salt Lake and away to FC Dallas.

Sportsclubstats.com, which tracks playoff races, estimates Toronto’s chances of making the playoffs at 18.4 per cent, down 25.2 after Wednesday’s loss. It has Vancouver at 37.8, down 15.7 after Portland’s win.

Sporting Kansas City, third in the East with 46 points, is one of four teams that can clinch a post-season berth this week. The others are the New England Revolution (second in the East, 48 points), Real Salt Lake (third in the West, 49 points) and Dallas (fourth in the West, 48 points).

East leader D.C. United (52 points) has already qualified for the playoffs.

In the West, No. 1 Seattle and No. 2 Los Angeles Galaxy (both 60 points) have booked their post-season ticket.

Two teams can be eliminated from post-season contention this weekend: Philadelphia and Houston.

Montreal, Chivas and Chicago have also already been ruled out.

Toronto, which entered the league in 2007, has never made the playoffs.

Vancouver, which joined in 2011, qualified for the post-season in 2012.

fights.”

MacDonald was just 14 when he came to Lea’s gym. He soon became the first one in and last one out, soaking up everything he could about the sport.

“I’ve never taught anybody who was able to learn faster,” said Lea, pointing to MacDonald’s ability to maintain his focus.

MacDonald, then 20, became the youngest fighter in the UFC when he signed a four-fight deal in late 2009.

He was 9-0, winning the King of the Cage Canadian lightweight title at 18 — in his sixth fight — before winning the King of the Cage world 155-pound title a year later.

In between those fights, he stepped away from the sport in 2008, lacking focus and needing some time to sort things outside the cage. So he left Kelowna for Langley, B.C., stopped training for five months and started a carpentry job.

“It was a difficult time in my life,

personally and in my martial arts career,” he said. “I was struggling for motivation. I wasn’t focused on martial arts, I did the right thing, I took a few months away and I came back hungry as ever.”

He moved back to Kelowna, and started training again. Three wins later, he had a UFC contract. And the road to the title began.

He needed four minutes 27 seconds to dispatch veteran Mike (The Joker) Guymon in his UFC debut in January 2010.

His friends and training partners gushed about him.

“I see the future of this sport in Rory MacDonald,” said middleweight David (The Crow) Loiseau.

“He’s amazing,” said St-Pierre.

“He’s the new big thing, I’m pretty sure. Watch that name. He’s going to go far.”

“Rory represents the new generation of fighters,” said former UFC and Pride fighter Denis Kang.

TORONTO — It’s been nine years since Rory (Ares) MacDonald made his pro debut in Prince George, B.C., against Terry Thiara.

His parents had to sign a waiver to get the local commission to OK the bout for the 16-year-old lightweight.

Even David Lea, his longtime trainer at Toshido Mixed Martial Arts in Kelowna, was a little concerned.

Lea had no qualms about the teenager’s talents. But he knew anything could happen in mixed martial arts.

“This sport there are so many variables,” he said. “You zig when you should have zagged and then all of a sudden you’re out. I remember having some real anxiety right before the fight thinking if this kid gets hurt, I’m never going to hear the end of it.”

MacDonald proved Lea right. He needed just two minutes 11 seconds to win via rear-naked choke and start a career that has taken him to a UFC title shot.

“Of course, that was the beginning of a journey,” MacDonald recalled Thursday from Montreal.

“I was definitely nervous for that fight, probably the most nervous I’ve ever been — for anything,” he added.

“It was a big, big obstacle in my life, that first fight.”

Nineteen bouts later, the 25-yearold MacDonald is counting the months to fighting for the UFC welterweight championship.

“It’s good news,” he said of his date with destiny. “But I’m not going to be completely happy until it’s in my hands for real.”

MacDonald (18-2) will fight the winner of the UFC 181 main event between 170-pound champion Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks and No. 1 contender (Ruthless) Robbie Lawler. They face off Dec. 6 in a Las Vegas rematch of their UFC 171 bout in March that decided the successor to Georges St-Pierre.

MacDonald, who lost to Lawler four fights ago and has not faced Hendricks, says it does not matter who he faces.

He just wants to fight the best man.

MacDonald is not sure whether he will be cageside in December to discover his opponent. If he has his choice, he won’t.

“I don’t really like Vegas,” he said.

In confirming Wednesday that MacDonald was in the 170-pound title on-deck circle, UFC president Dana White did not specify a date or city other than to say his championship challenge would be in Canada.

“I’d love it if it was in Vancouver,” said MacDonald, a native of Kelowna who fights out of Montreal. “That would be my ideal spot. Anywhere in Canada would make me happy.”

The UFC has a March date reserved in Montreal. A Toronto date is also expected in 2015.

Tom Wright, director of operations for the UFC in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, said last week he expects two or three pay-per-view shows in Canada next year.

The UFC has held three fights in Vancouver to date. MacDonald has been on two of those cards, losing to Carlos (The Natural Born Killer) Condit at UFC 115 in June 2010 and beating Tyron (The Chosen One) Woodley

Humans drew worldwide, 40,000 years ago

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This photo provided by Nature Magazine shows stencils of hands in a cave in Indonesia. Ancient cave drawings in Indonesia are as old as famous prehistoric art in Europe, according to a new study that shows our ancestors were drawing all over the world 40,000 years ago. And it hints at an even earlier dawn of creativity in modern humans, going back to Africa, than scientists had thought. tric view of how, when and where humans started art, Aubert said. Knowing when art started is important because “it kind of defines us as a species,” he said.

Because the European and Asian art are essentially the same age, it either means art developed separately and simultaneously in different parts of the world or “more likely that when humans left Africa 65,000 years ago they were already evolved with the capacity to make paintings,” Aubert said. Ancient art hasn’t been found much in Africa because

the geology doesn’t preserve it.

Shea and others lean toward the earlier art theory.

“What this tells us is that when humans began moving out of Africa they were not all that different from us in terms of their abilities to use art and symbol,” Shea said in an email. “Inasmuch as many of us would have difficulty replicating such paintings, they may even have been our superiors in this respect.”

54045J16

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Two spacewalking astronauts moved an old, broken pump into permanent storage Tuesday, NASA’s first routine maintenance outside the International Space Station in more than a year.

American Reid Wiseman and German Alexander Gerst, both first-time spacewalkers, cheerfully completed the long overdue job 260 miles (418.41 kilometres) up.

“I can’t wait to see these pictures,” Gerst said.

U.S.-based spacewalks were curtailed in July 2013 after an Italian astronaut nearly drowned because of a flooded helmet. NASA solved the problem with the suit’s water-cooling system. Then concern arose over the spacesuit batteries.

New batteries arrived late last month, clearing the way for Tuesday’s spacewalk and another one scheduled for next week.

Gerst clutched the 780-pound pump about the size of a double-door refrigerator as he rode on the end of the station’s big robot arm.

The crane swung him from the pump’s temporary location to the new permanent spot in about 12 minutes.

“You should see my view right now,” Gerst said, referring to the sprawling space station, lit up like gold in the darkness.

The pump ended up in short-term storage during urgent spacewalking repairs to the station’s ammonia-cooling system last December. NASA did not want to waste time back then parking the pump in its long-term garage, given all the spacesuit worries. So the job was deferred until now.

With Wiseman looking on, Gerst slid the pump into its permanent slot, a large rectangular sheath formed by white protective blankets, and then bolted it down. “Nice work,” Mission Control radioed.

The spacewalkers hustled through their other chores replacing a camera light and installing a power-relay device for the station’s robot-arm railcar before calling it quits.

As the six-hour excursion drew to a close, Wiseman thanked the hundreds if not thousands of people who worked on NASA’s spacewalk recovery team over the past year.

“Alex and I, we’d like to express just our huge gratitude for getting us back into planned EVAs

WASHINGTON — Ancient cave drawings in Indonesia are as old as famous prehistoric art in Europe, according to a new study that shows human ancestors were drawing all over the world 40,000 years ago.

And it hints at an even earlier dawn of creativity in modern humans, going back to Africa, than scientists had thought.

Archaeologists calculated that a dozen stencils of hands in mulberry red and two detailed drawings of an animal described as a “pig-deer” are between 35,000 to 40,000 years old, based on levels of decay of the element uranium. That puts the art found in Sulawesi, southeast of Borneo, in the same rough time period as drawings found in Spain and a famous cave in France.

And one of the Indonesian handprints, pegged as at least 39,900 years old, is now the oldest hand stencil known to science, according to a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

These are more than 100 Indonesian cave drawings that have been known since 1950. In 2011, scientists noticed some strange outcroppings — called “cave popcorn” — on the drawings. Those mineral deposits would make it possible to use the new technology of uranium decay dating to figure out how old the art is. So they tested the cave popcorn that had grown over the stencils that would give a minimum age. It was near 40,000 years.

“Whoa, it was not expected,” recalled study lead author Maxime Aubert, an archaeologist and geochemist at Griffith University in Australia.

Looking at the paintings, the details on the animal drawings are “really, really well-made,” Aubert said in a phone interview from Jakarta, Indonesia. “Then when you look at it in context that it’s really 40,000 years old, it’s amazing.”

Paleoanthropologist John Shea of Stony Brook University in New York, who wasn’t part of the study, called this an important discovery that changes what science thought about early humans and art.

C1 GuZoo faces another challenge

FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 2014

GROUP ASKS COURT TO RESCIND THREE HILLS-AREA ZOO’S LICENCE

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Another attempt is being made to shut down a controversial zoo near Three Hills.

An application has been filed in Edmonton Court of Queen’s Bench to rescind GuZoo’s 2014 zoo permit.

Voice for Animals Humane Society, and Zoocheck Canada, filed the claim on Sept. 30, Tove Reece, executive director for Voice for Animals, said on Thursday.

Reece said that John Andrew Knight, a veterinarian, and zoo and wildlife management consultant from England, visited GuZoo this summer and provided a report to the two organizations.

“The standards of animal care and husbandry throughout the ‘zoo’ (GuZoo) were unbelievably poor and often contrary to the ethics of modern zoo

practice,” Knight said in his report.

“GuZoo is a dysfunctional zoo. It should not be accredited, open to the public or permitted to operate as a zoo. It has a decommissioning plan and it should be put into action.”

Reece said that their lawyer is meeting with a lawyer representing the provincial government on Tuesday.

GuZoo, located a few kilometres north of Three Hills, was almost forced to close three years ago following an investigation that discovered a number of safety issues, health risks and general poor record keeping.

But after a judicial review, it began to operate again with a full zoo permit.

Alberta Environmental and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD) issued a permit again on April 1 of this year for GuZoo to operate.

The legislation for zoo standards in Alberta falls under two departments — ESRD and Alberta Agriculture. GuZoo opponents argue this leads to confu-

sion in enforcement.

The basis for the current court claim, filed by lawyer Richard C. Secord, representing Voice for Animals and Zoocheck Canada, “is that GuZoo has repeatedly failed to meet minimum standards as set out in the Zoo Standards.”

“A list of violations includes, but is not limited to: ● GuZoo has failed to maintain adequate records, including marking and identifying the animals; ● GuZoo has failed to provide appropriate animal containment. Some of the enclosures are inadequate in size and strength, are inappropriate for the species they contain, and/or are poorly maintained; ● GuZoo has failed to maintain and present responsible education plans; ● GuZoo has failed to adequately train staff; ● GuZoo does not have a veterinaryclient relationship with a licensed Al-

berta veterinarian; ● GuZoo’s standard of care falls below the expected standard for the health of the animals, animal husbandry, animal exhibits and general animal care standards; ● GuZoo does not have in place a Zoo Development Plan that is compliant with the Zoo Standard; and ● The overall standards at GuZoo fall well below the normal standard expected for zoos in Alberta and internationally.”

The two animal support groups argue that the province isn’t enforcing its own law, the Zoo Standards. They say GuZoo’s zoo permit should be rescinded and the zoo should be decommission permanently.

The Advocate was unable to reach GuZoo owner Lynn Gustafson on Thursday.

In the past, Gustafson has insisted that his animals are healthy. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

CHURCH RUMMAGE SALE

IMPROVED VEHICLE, PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC GOAL OF PROJECT

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

String of crimes send man to prison for six years

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Drugs, guns and fleeing from police caught up with a man who was convicted on Thursday of several charges and sentenced to more than six years in jail.

Dillon Bristow, 20, pleaded guilty to attempted robbery, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and several breeches of probation in Red Deer provincial court.

He and another person drove to a site at Kelly’s Campground near Innisfail on June 5. Bristow exited the vehicle with a handgun, his face covered and his hood up. He approached a male near a truck in an attempted carjacking. The owner of the truck refused to yield the vehicle.

When Bristow fired a round into the ground near the truck owner’s feet, the owner still refused to hand over the keys to the vehicle.

Bristow then banged on the window with the gun before leaving the campsite.

A few days later in Penhold, plainclothes RCMP officers on patrol spotted a stolen white truck with Bristow inside. The truck pulled in the a gas station and the plainclothes officers called for a uniformed officer to approach in an attempt to arrest Bristow.

When the uniformed officer arrived, she identified herself. Bristow backed out and a chase ensued. Bristow led officers through a residential area, onto rural roads and eventually onto Hwy 2 southbound.

Near Bowden, Bristow drove the car into a ditch and a foot pursuit ensued.

Numerous members of different police detachment

were involved in the search for Bristow, including the Calgary RCMP Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services and RCMP helicopter, Red Deer RCMP, Red Deer RCMP general investigative services, Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team, Olds RCMP, Innisfail RCMP, Blackfalds RCMP Didsbury RCMP an Red Deer traffic services.

Bristow was found in a greenhouse near Bowden.

Police found a semi automatic .22-calibre firearm with the safety off and a clip of ammunition in the gun on the path towards the greenhouse, and also found ammunition in the truck.

Bristow has been in custody since his arrest on June 12.

On Thursday, he also entered guilty pleas to several breach of court orders related to the gun.

As well, charges from Medicine Hat were brought in to Red Deer. On Jan. 2, 2014, Medicine Hat police pulled Bristow over after they determined the licence plate on the vehicle he drove was stolen.

Bristow did not have a valid licence and when police conducted a search of the vehicle, they found a digital scale with residue of cocaine and marijuana on it, a dufflebag containing ammunition, and a hypodermic needle and a grocery bag of cocaine, crystal meth and oxycodone. Bristow then indicated he had three bags of cocaine in his pants.

Bristow was given credit for six months of pre-trial custody and has six years left on the conviction. He was also given a 10-year prohibition on unrestricted weapons and a lifetime ban from prohibited and restricted firearms, a two-year driving prohibition to start at the conclusion of his jail sentence and an order to provide a sample of his DNA. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Connie Lavoie, left, and Shirley Gehman look over some of the items at the Gaetz United Church rummage sale which took place this week in Red Deer. Money raised during the event will go towards funding church outreach programs and the church camp at Kasota East Camp at Sylvan Lake. Any items not sold at the sale will be donated to Bibles for Missions, the Salvation Army, Loaves and Fishes and Friends of the Red Deer Library book sale.

The new and improved Taylor Drive is set to open to traffic and pedestrians on Thursday.

Boasting better road connections, new sidewalks and improved access in all directions, the bulk of the two-year, $20-million project will wrap up next week.

Project manger Wayne Gustafson said there were minor hiccups along the way, like most construction projects, but the crews were able to get the job done on time and on budget.

The finishing touches, including landscaping, will happen next season. There will be intermittent lane closures on Taylor Drive until construction fully wraps up.

The new traffic lights at the Taylor Drive and Ross Street intersection will be fully functioning and all lanes on the new Taylor Drive alignment will be open.

The intersection was converted from a fourlegged crossing to a simpler three-legged Tintersection.

Pedestrians will now be able to walk Taylor Drives safely and access transit stops with the construction of a crosswalk at Taylor Drive and Ross Street, as well as new widened sidewalks and a multi-use pathway.

The Taylor Drive project was one of three major two-year construction projects totalling more than $65 million that got underway this summer.

First year work on 55th Street, included replacing water and sanitary lines and rebuilding sidewalks, wrapped up in September.

The roadway closed in July to allow for upgrades to underground sanitary sewer and water mains. Next year, phase two of the project will kick off, east of 47A Avenue. It will involve building multi-use pathways and slight lane widening. The estimated cost of the project is $9.4 million.

The estimated $36-million 67th Street and 30th Avenue extension project is underway.

Crews are installing and moving utilities in the area.

The phased project received an additional $9-million infusion for the water and sewer during city council’s mid-year budget review because there were unexpected issues with pipe depth and poor soil. The project is partly funded by the city and provincial and the federal grants.

A section of Range Road 272 north of 67 Street (Township Road 384) closed on Wednesday. It will remain closed until sometime in December.

Gustafson said this is the preparatory work that needs to be done before crews begin building a roundabout at the intersection of 67th Street and 30th Avenue.

Construction of the actual roundabout is expected to start during next year’s construction season and open potentially in 2015. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS Longboarder hit by vehicle, police seek clues Red Deer RCMP are searching for a driver who struck a longboarder and sent him to hospital on Saturday.

Police say the motorist struck the 21-year-old longboarder in the northbound lane of Gaetz Avenue near 39th Street at around 5 p.m. The driver fled the scene without stopping, leaving the man lying on the sidewalk.

Witnesses called 911 and administered first aid.

The victim was taken to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre and later airlifted to Calgary Foothills Hospital via STARS air ambulance. He is being treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Anyone with information about this hit and run is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report online at www. tipsubmit.com.

Kick it to the Curb returns on Oct. 18, 19 Kick it to the Curb is back.

Red Deer residents are being asked to place unwanted items at their curb on Oct. 18 and 19, and mark them as “free” so others can find a new life for them.

The program encourages residents to repurpose unwanted goods, find new homes for still-useful items and divert materials from the landfill.

Lauren Maris, Red Deer’s environmental program specialist, said the city likes to give people a heads-up so they have time to clean out their garages and basements the weekend before Kick it to the Curb.

“Residents enjoy the thrill of the hunt when it comes to searching neighbourhoods for used goods, and they understand the value of keeping useful items out of the waste stream and repurposing them,” she said.

The program is now in its fourth year. Kerry Wood Nature Centre is also holding a Trash to Treasure Swap Meet. Visit www.waskasoopark.ca or call 403-346-2010 for more information.

A list of prohibited Kick it to the Curb items, such as child car seats, is available at www.reddeer.ca/kickit.

Fraudster sought be police Red Deer RCMP is requesting the public’s assistance in finding a man who has been convicted on fraud-related and other offences.

Chance Aaron Shaw, 23, is wanted on 21 Alberta-wide warrants. He is accused of breaching numerous court-imposed probation orders. Police believe Shaw is in the Red Deer area.

He’s described as Métis, with short, dark-brown hair and brown eyes. His weight is listed at 86 Chance Shaw kg (190 pounds) and his height at 1.7 metres (five feet, eight inches). Although RCMP do not believe Shaw poses a danger to the public, anyone seeing him is urged to call Red Deer police and not approach him.

RCMP would also like to hear from anyone who has information about transactions with Shaw that they believe to be suspicious.

If you have information that may assist the police on the whereabouts of Shaw, call Red Deer RCMP at 403-3435575. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

Council reviews patio fate; hears enviro report Ross Street Patio could be enjoyed all year long.

City council will consider on Tuesday whether to keep the popular summer spot open through the winter.

During the 2014 budget talks, council directed administration to look at the options and costs for keeping the patio up during the winter months.

Support for a winter patio was only slightly preferred over removing it, according to a city-conducted survey.

The patio is tentatively set for removal during the last week of October.

Administration is recommending that council take down the patio this year in order for a more comprehensive review to take place.

Council will also hear the Environmental Master Plan’s annual report for 2013. The document is the city’s primary environmental policy and outlines the community’s environmental goals, targets and strategies.

The Ipsos Reid Poll results will also be on the agenda. The city is holding a press conference today to release the findings.

A notice of motion brought forward from Coun. Paul Harris regarding tightening up the rules around air conditioner noise will also be discussed by council.

A public hearing on proposed rezoning in Timber Ridge to residential from agriculture land is set for 6 p.m.

An image from a surveillance camera of a Millerdale Pharmacy break-in suspect.

Millardale Pharmacy break-in probed by police Red Deer RCMP are seeking information related to a series of break-ins at Millerdale Pharmacy.

The most recent break-in at the 5201 43rd St. store occurred on Sunday, when thieves stole an unspecified amount of narcotics after smashing a glass window and breaking into a narcotics safe.

They left the pharmacy through a back door.

Police say the pharmacy has been broken into three times this year, although it is unclear if the incidents are related.

Anyone with information about these break-ins is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. Tips can also be made anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or by emailing www.tipsubmit.com.

Red Deer Public Schools is getting ready to take a long-term look at student boundaries for its elementary schools next year.

On Wednesday, trustees established an accommodations committee to review boundaries both in anticipation of opening a new kindergarten to Grade 5 school in Inglewood in September 2017, and in preparation for future growth.

“What we’re looking for is to have a really good idea of where we’re going to be 10 years, 15 years, 20 years down the road,” said board chair Bev Manning on Thursday.

She said the district has to be prepared now that the province is announcing new schools and renovation projects more often.

Student boundaries at elementary schools in the south end of the city — Mattie McCullough, Mountview, G.W. Smith and Grandview — along with the new Ecole Barrie Wilson Elementary School in Timberstone, will be examined to prepare for the new Inglewood school.

The accommodations committee will start its work in January. Community meetings will also start early next year.

The public will also be able to provide input online.

North School sale moving ahead Red Deer Public Schools has taken its first step to sell the old North School.

North School, built in about 1950, has not been used as a public school for many years.

The building at 6014 57th Ave. has been leased to the private Koinonia Christian School for 15 years and Koinonia wants to buy it.

On Wednesday, Red Deer Public School trustees directed administration to begin the process to sell the building.

Board chair Bev Manning said first the school district must subdivide the property in order to keep North Cottage School which sits on the same Riverside Meadows lot.

Red Deer Public will continue to operate North Cottage School as an alternative high school.

North School will then go to tender, following the guidelines in the School Act and ministerial approval.

Manning said the entire process could take three to six months, at least.

Venture publisher shares advice at Expo SUCCESS 4 BUSINESS

BY ADVOCATE STAFF The most important characteristic you can possess is an unshakable confidence in your chosen path, a successful Alberta publisher told a Red Deer audience on Thursday.

Ruth Kelly, president and CEO of Venture Publishing Inc., was speaking at the Success 4 Business Expo.

Her company, based in Edmonton, publishes Alberta Venture and Alberta Oil — both business magazines.

Successful entrepreneurship involves “the things you anticipate. The things you don’t anticipate, and the need to react to both with good judgment, clarity of vision and a firm grasp on your end goal,” she said.

Alberta Venture prints 28,000 copies and has a total print readership of 170,000 in Alberta, Canada and around the world.

“If I have learned one thing during my time in the publishing business . . . flexibility and the capacity to react to unexpected opportunity or a crisis will determine whether or not you succeed or fail,” Kelly said.

The drama of business is a fascinating backdrop to the human condition and I love following those stories.

“Because I’ve always had a passion for my province, tempered with more than a hint of irritation at what I often see as its shortsighted economic and social governance, I wanted to make a magazine that could make a difference in the way Alberta functions.”

Kelly has received many awards for her business and community involvement.

She is currently chair of the United Way Alberta Capital Region campaign.

She started Venture magazine in 1997, committing all her financial resources, as well as that of people near and dear to her.

And once the first issue came off the press, she thought the hardest part was done.

“But the hardest part was ahead, and in fact . . . may still be ahead of

There’s a lot of risk in being an entrepreneur, she said.

“There’s financial risk, emotional risk, risk of personal failure and, if you do what I do in the public eye, the risk of great public humiliation.

“But to avoid risk is to make stagnant or even worse, to decline.”

Agriculture minister expects U.S. to appeal upcoming ruling on meat labelling

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says the next ruling in a long, drawn-out dispute over meat-labelling requirements in the United States is only a couple of weeks away.

Ritz said the World Trade Organization is to release its next ruling around Oct. 20, but that won’t be the end of the conflict.

“With the mid-terms (elections) going on in the U.S., this is a political solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. I fully expect them to appeal again.

They have one last gasp,” Ritz said Thursday.

U.S. country-of original labelling, known as COOL was introduced in 2002 and has been enforced since 2008.

The law requires labels on packaged meat from outside the country to say where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered.

Ottawa contends that the rules have cost Canadian and other meat produc-

ers billions of dollars. The policy is blamed for reducing Canadian crossborder beef and pork exports by half.

Some U.S. companies have said they can’t afford to sort, label and store meat from Canada differently than meat from domestic animals.

Industry groups argue the information is of no real value to the consumer.

Opponents also say the rules violate provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

COOL is supported by some U.S. ranchers who compete against producers in Canada and Mexico.

Ritz said he doesn’t expect the World Trade Organization will rule against Canada later this month.

“At the end of the day we’ve proven our case at the WTO over and over and over again,” he said.

“American industry is on side with us and are taking their government back to court as to what it’s going to cost them to implement this rationale that nobody’s asking for.”

Progress is being made, he added.

Incoming CEO sees ‘generational shift’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The future at one of the country’s oldest retailers depends on it staying young, says the new head at Canadian Tire.

Incoming chief executive Michael Medline said the retailer is focused on targeting younger shoppers across all of its brands as part of a three-year growth plan.

Canadian Tire is chasing a “generational shift” in customers, said Medline, the company’s president who takes over as chief executive from Stephen Wetmore on Dec. 1.

In the past, the company was not targeting any specific customer base and tried to sell everything to everybody, Medline said.

“We weren’t appealing to young families with children as much as we needed to,” he said in an interview following the retailer’s presentation to investors.

Now with its new agenda, Canadian Tire will try to reposition itself as a number of specialty retailers with a solid focus on young couples just coming into their own independence, buying homes and growing their families.

“When you target (a group), you get a sharper message, you carry the right products and you have the right operations in your store,” he said.

The company expects to spend an average of $575 million annually over the next three years to beef up on new digital technology as well as expansions and upgrades to its store network.

Some of the changes coming to Canadian Tire (TSX:CTC.A) include the addition of hundreds of new items on its shelves. The retailer will soon stock a children’s sleepover kit with a tent

and other accessories to snow paint, so kids can create art on those snowy Canadian days.

Medline said the retailer’s new target customer is someone between 30-49 years old with young children, who is looking to spend money on their kids’ sports equipment and small home renovation projects.

The ads coming from the retailer will also have a different look.

In the past, Canadian Tire would show a father staining his deck, but now marketing for the same product will show a father and son staining a treehouse in the backyard.

Canadian Tire stores are already beginning to reflect the shift with an updated product assortment that includes a new housewares line and a digital version of its much-loved Canadian Tire Money loyalty program.

The Toronto-based company founded in the 1920s is one of Canada’s largest retailers, operating under banners that include its Canadian Tire automotive and household goods stores, the Mark’s clothing stores and various sports stores such as Sport Chek.

All of those brands will also shift more attention towards younger shoppers with Mark’s moving away from appealing to the over 50 crowd to focus on 35-50 year old men.

Canadian Tire aims to grow its revenue by three per cent a year on an annualized basis. Its clothing store Mark’s has a target of five per cent average annual revenue growth, while sporting goods retailer FGL Sports is expected to grow nine per cent.

Much of the retailer’s plan is contingent on whether it can move from the “old world into the new world” of digital presence and data analytics.

Medline said the company will continue to improve its Canadian Tire

When a snow storm hits Calgary, for example, customers there will soon be shown a limited time deal on boots and shovels through a digital flyer.

Further investment in the company’s digital infrastructure has been costly but will pay off, said Medline.

“It’s like redoing the plumbing in a house. It’s not sexy but it’s necessary,” he added.

Meanwhile, Sport Chek — part of FGL Sports — also announced a new strategic partnership Thursday with the Scene loyalty program run by Canada’s largest theatre chain, Cineplex (TSX:CGX), and Scotiabank (TSX:BNS).

Medline said eventually, the retailer will promote offers such as movie tickets with every shoe purchase over $100, for example.

The Scene point program will launch nationally in mid-November at more than 180 Sport Chek stores.

The company said it also intends to buy back an additional $400 million of its class A non-voting shares by the end of 2015, and will maintain its current dividend policy.

Its shares climbed nearly three per cent, or $3.42, to close at $120.50 on the Toronto Stock Exchange — slightly below the new 52-week high of $120.53 per share reached earlier in the day.

The S&P/TSX composite index plunged 205.87 points to 14,460.60, pressured by oil prices that fell to the lowest level since December 2012.

The Canadian dollar dropped 0.56 of a cent lower to 89.50 cents US. The Dow Jones industrials tumbled 334.97 points to 16,659.25, erasing gains made Wednesday from indications the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to hike interest rates.

The Nasdaq dropped 90.25 points to 4,378.34 and the S&P 500 index gave back 40.68 points to 1,928.21 after the latest data showed German exports in August dropped 5.8 per cent over July as increasing uncertainty over the crisis in Ukraine helped to produce the largest drop in five years.

The data prompted ING economist Carsten Brzeski to say that “the economy seems to need a small miracle in September to avoid a recession.”

The figures came out a day after minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting showed that Fed officials are becoming increasingly concerned about weak overseas growth.

A faltering global economy is one reason that Fed officials have moved away from linking any increase in interest rates to any specific period, meaning rates will rise only when measures of the economy’s health and inflation signalled the time was right.

The TSX has had a tough time since hitting 2014 highs in late August, having fallen more than 1,100 points from a year-todate gain of over 14 per cent on economic concerns and a surging U.S. dollar.

New York markets are also off the best levels of the year and some analysts think seasonality is also a culprit.

“People come back from vacation, see (the market) at alltime highs and say, they’re due for a pullback, let’s pull some money off the table,” said Allan Small, a senior adviser at HollisWealth.

Small doesn’t think investors are in for a major correction in the 15 per cent range, but thinks markets will stay choppy until after late in October.

At that point, “you will see strong fundamentals out of the companies that are reporting earnings over the next few weeks and I am hoping that will be enough to calm the markets, regardless of what economic data is coming out of Europe,” he said.

Activist investor Carl Icahn is more alarmed at the market shifts, and told CNBC in an interview that he believes a market correction is “definitely coming.”

The latest batch of negative data pushed oil prices lower after falling $3 over the last two sessions on signs of lower demand and a sharp rise in U.S. inventories last week. The November contract in New York settled

A group of Tahltan elders known as the Klabona Keepers established a blockade of the mine in August after the tailings dam at Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley mine in central B.C. failed. The blockade was lifted when the company and the Tahltan Central Council signed an agreement that saw an independent engineering firm review the tailings facility at the Red Chris mine, but blockaders returned on Sept. 29.

Imperial Metals had applied for a more permanent injunction, saying blockaders were preventing people or supplies from accessing the site.

Loonie lower, weak German trade data fuels recession fears

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Canadian dollar was lower late morning Thursday as the greenback stengthened against other currencies, particularly the euro, following another dose of weak data from Germany that raised worries about Europe’s economic powerhouse.

The loonie fell 0.26 of a cent to 89.8 cents US. The latest data showed that German exports plunged in August as increasing uncertainty over the crisis in Ukraine and the timing of summer holidays combined to produce the largest drop in five years. August exports dropped 5.8 per cent over July while

imports dropped 1.3 per cent.

Other German industrial data released this week also showed drops in factory orders and production. The International Monetary Fund also added to investor unease this week saying global economic growth will be lower than expected this year and next.

The Canadian currency — which has been hovering around the 90-cent mark — had jumped just over half a U.S. cent Wednesday after minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest meeting showed that central bank officials agreed that they would begin raising interest rates only when measures of the economy’s health and inflation signalled the time was right.

for study at Oxford University.

The years at Oxford are full and busy (she was an excellent student) but also American do-or-die high jinks. Riding a bicycle through the post office window is just the beginning.

As part of her study of Dylan Thomas, she proposes to hitchhike to Wales. She leaves on the weekend of the investiture of the Prince of Wales in Caernarfon, North Wales. The roads are clogged and there is no lodging available.

Clive Hunter-Parsons, only son of the family estate Cherry Run in Cornwall, falls hard for this lively girl and takes her home to meet the family.

Square pegs and round holes doesn’t begin to describe the mayhem.

Things happen to this girl.

Somehow her penchant for taking chances leads to adventures some harrowing, some highly successful.

All three of these memoirs are worth your time.

She loves being a friendly American, curious to know all about new acquaintances. Start with Too Close to the Falls and have a lovely, zany trip through the life of Catherine (McClure) Gildiner.

Red Deer College Performing Arts students Pharaoh Amnesty, playing Kate Braithwaite, and Nate Rehman, playing Will Kemp, play out a scene from the Red Deer College production of Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead in Studio A at the Red Deer College Arts Centre.

A wacky house of horrors ride TALENTED CAST PULLS OFF INTERESTING, PERPLEXING AMALGAM THAT IS WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S LAND OF THE DEAD

Call it a “plague of maddening blood lust,” or blame it on afflicted “humours.”

But William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead opened on Thursday with ample moaning, groaning, and foot-dragging as victims of some mysterious “affliction” began scratching at the door of the Globe Theatre in London — apparently dying to get in.

And those snarling, pastyfaced gate crashers weren’t even the most campy characters in this well-executed Red Deer College Theatre StudLANA ies production that’s running MICHELIN in Studio A of the RDC Arts Centre.

There’s a ruff-necked Queen Elizabeth I (excellently played by Emily Cupples), whose plummy accent was delivered in a high-pitched drawl reminiscent of another Elizabeth Rex we know.

There’s the Queen’s Counsel, Sir Frances Bacon (Rina Pelletier in a remarkably androgynous performance), whose pomposity was matched only by his pretension. (“An ixillent idea,” Bacon intoned, be-

REVIEW

fore stabbing a zombified actor with his rapier and leaving others to dispose of the body.)

And there’s Shakespeare’s ragtag company of thespians, including James Burbage (Richie Jackson) and Will Kemp (Nate Rehman), who were — well ... capital-A actors in the truest sense.

Kemp is such as ‘look at me! look at me!’ grandstander that he actually wears bells to announce his entrance. Even Will Shakespeare is fed up, kicking Kemp out of the company and becoming dismayed at his reappearance at the beginning of this thriller, which was written by U.S. playwright John Heimbuch.

But Will soon has to deal with more pressing issues — London Bridge has fallen down, prompting an unexpected visit from the Queen and her entourage in the midst of a bizarre plague. Suddenly there are bigger dilemmas than ridding himself of his nemesis, Kemp.

William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead proved to be both an interesting and perplexing amalgam at Wednesday’s dress rehearsal.

There was flowery Elizabethan language aplenty, including punny verbal throws to various Shakespearian plays that made followers of The Bard knowingly chortle.

There was a sword fight, and adequate gnarling, biting and Halloween zombie gore to appease fans of

shows like The Walking Dead.

But at the same time, this wordy play also featured a long period of inactivity in the second act in which Will Shakespeare (played in low-key, straightman style by Evan Macleod) remained motionless and tied to a chair. The only other actors on stage, Burbage and the Queen’s alchemist, Doctor Dee (Erin Pettifor), were either starting to dose or were already asleep — so it’s a wonder the audience members didn’t opt for a little shut eye, too.

Fortunately, this scene that seemed so out of place in an Elizabethan world turned on its head by a “plague of blood lust,” was followed by a satisfying finale involving (yay!) more zombies.

But what really saved the day was the talented company of second-year students, under the guest direction of Kelly Reay.

This was one of the best-acted college plays I’ve seen in a long time. The young thespians weren’t afraid to go big and create some satisfying, memorable characters — such as the aforementioned Queen, Bacon, Kemp, Burbage, as well as the young apprentice actor John Rice, who’s cast in female roles in the company (and is mind-bendingly played by a woman, Robyn Jeffrey).

Wilson at peace with adoption revelation

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Singer/songwriter Tom Wilson recently found out from a stranger that the couple who raised him were not his biological parents.

He also discovered that the person he’s always thought of as a cousin is really his birth mother.

Yet none of this potentially explosive knowledge rocked his life in any negative way — in fact, Wilson said it actually explained a lot of things.

The Blackie and the Rodeo Kings/ LeE HARVeY OsMOND singer, who performs on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer, said he always felt like an “outsider” while growing up as an only child to older parents, who are both now deceased.

His dad, George, was a former soldier who was blinded in the Second World War. He remembers his mom, Bunny, as a kind, quiet woman who didn’t have a large circle of friends outside the family.

He was raised in a loving home, yet there was always something he couldn’t quite put his finger on, said Wilson.

For one thing, he felt he looked different than most of his classmates — which was later explained by his birth mother’s Mohawk ancestry.

He also felt, somehow, apart from the other people he knew. “I always felt like the guy who didn’t belong— almost like there was a story that I didn’t know that everybody else knows.”

Two years ago, Wilson met a tour handler who inadvertently spilled the beans and told him the story.

She introduced herself as a big fan, and also as someone whose relatives knew his family in Hamilton really well.

She told the singer they were so close to his parents that they were there when he was brought home after being adopted.

“I said, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’

I didn’t know anything about being adopted,” said Wilson.

He took a while to process this information but never doubted it, because suddenly parts of his past started making sense.

Eventually, he told an older cousin he had known all of his life about what he heard. She broke down in tears and confessed she was really his mother.

Wilson had to reconfigure his own history, based on this new knowledge, which he publicly revealed earlier this year on CBC Radio. But he believes he’s at peace with it.

“If I’d lived 53 years in a loving household with the most wonderful people on Earth, this opened my

heart up to them even more.”

As for the cousin who is his birth mother, Wilson said he’s always had a close, loving relationship with her. She has always been a part of his life and will continue to be. “She knows my kids and my grandkids — which are her great-grandchildren.”

Please see FREAK SHOW on Page D3

BY ANN HORNADAY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES The Judge, a courtroom procedural tucked into the folds of a family melodrama, feels like one of its own characters, a onetime champ who could have made it to the big leagues had his potential not been squandered by someone else’s poor choices.

The movie certainly has casting on its side. On paper, a showdown between Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall looks like one of those too-good-tomiss cinematic cards, a bout between two heavyweights whose mutual game of rope-a-dope approaches heights of poetry. And it’s true that Downey — here playing a predatory Chicago defense attorney named Hank Palmer — and Duvall, as his estranged father, Joseph, enjoy moments of pure music together, with Downey’s cocksure, slightly pitchy mannerisms ricocheting off Duvall’s steady-eyed focus like so many BBs hitting a mighty, impervious oak tree.

If only the story surrounding them were in as fine a fighting trim: it’s as if writer-director David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) created The Judge by ticking the boxes on a set of screenwriting instructions. Thriller element, check. Adorably wise child, check. Rekindled love interest, check. Explosive family dynamics soothed by loving, learning and laughter, check, check, check.

Dobkin earns extra points for choosing some gorgeous Massachusetts locations to play the all-American town of Carlinville, Indiana, where Hank reluctantly returns for his mother’s funeral, and where he even more reluctantly stays when his father, a respected judge, faces some legal trouble of his own.

Like an unwieldy cross between a John Grisham legal potboiler and “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “The Judge” is a baggy, tonally all-over-the-place pastiche of genres that, sharply edited and streamlined, would have resulted in an absorbing, even sophisticated, grown-up drama.

Not surprisingly, considering Dobkin’s résumé, The Judge possesses its share of astringent humor, the most welcome of which comes by way of Vera

LOCAL Farmiga, who plays Hank’s bleach-blond high school girlfriend with a large tattoo and tartly funny throwaway lines. (Dax Shepard is also appealing as a slightly dim local lawyer who has a habit of throwing up before every trial.)

Vincent D’Onofrio and Jeremy Strong drift in and out as Hank’s brothers, Glen — with whom he shares a complicated past — and Dale, who is developmentally challenged, his naivete a source of humour no less patronizing for being painstakingly gentle. Luckily, one of Dale’s tics is carrying a home-movie camera around everywhere, giving The Judge plenty of opportunities to stop the action and have the Palmer boys watch super-saturated images of times when they were all closer, nicer and happier together.

Such digressions take away from the molten core of The Judge, which is the spiky, unresolved relationship between Hank and his demanding, distant father. Downey’s Hank swoops into Carlinville much like Tony Stark in Iron Man mode, dripping sarcasm, contempt and un-thinly veiled superiority. The alltoo-familiar shtick grows tiresome after a while — and it’s particularly hard to take when know-it-all Hank refers to someone’s mental “actuality” when he clearly means “acuity.” But whenever he’s on screen with Duvall, The Judge seems to rediscover its emotional bearing.

Duvall has been so good for so long that it’s easy to take him for granted, but watching his wily, touching, flawlessly calibrated performance here serves to remind viewers just what screen acting looks like, or should look like. Even in the film’s most sentimental, maudlin and conveniently extreme moments, Duvall dominates The Judge, much like his character dominates his own courtroom: through sheer force of presence, integrity and implacable authority.

FX series to feature O.J. Simpson murder case

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The FX network is joining with American Horror Story producer Ryan Murphy on a true-crime anthology miniseries. First up: the O.J. Simpson murder case.

Each season of the miniseries, American Crime Story, will focus on a different crime that captured the public’s imagination, FX said Tuesday.

The 1994 killing of Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole

Freak Show, the fourth iteration of FX’s American Horror Story anthology series, starts off sluggishly, behaving as if it didn’t get a suitable respite between seasons.

It shows up to work Wednesday night staggering around without caffeine, halfheartedly plopping its tale this time in the worn-out milieu of the carnival sideshow.

They’re all here — the bearded lady; the “Siamese” twins; the Lobster Boy with his strange hands.

(And weren’t they just in a musical?)

Even the show’s once-eager repertory players go through the motions as if they’re punching a time clock (whether using hands or stumps), chief among them Jessica Lange, who won Emmys for Seasons 1 and 3.

Lange, who has already indicated that this will be her last go-around with American Horror Story, is cast this time as Elsa Mars, the cruel-spirited German proprietress of a circus-tent freak show that has more or less permanently settled on a patch of swampy land outside Jupiter, Florida in 1952.

All Lange has left to offer, it seems, is a Marlene Dietrich impression.

Tropes and cliches are nothing new to American Horror Story; in fact, they are the golden keys to its success, as creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk use the series as a way to explore and pay homage to old TV and movie horror setups (a haunted house; an insane asylum; a coven of witches; now a freak show) while injecting each story with varying doses of selfreflective camp.

The results have always been uneven, but, for the certain viewer who is eager to ride through Murphy and Falchuk’s spook house, the series has provided moments of great, sickening fun.

Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman, and Simpson’s arrest and trial led to a prolonged media frenzy. The NFL Hall of Famer and former TV and movie star was acquitted in the case but is in prison for a robbery.

FX did not announce the casting or air date for season one of American Crime Story, based on a book by lawyer and TV legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin. The fourth season of American Horror Story began Wednesday.

BRIEF

The Gay Nineties play on Sunday at the International Beer Haus The Gay Nineties will strike up some indie pop/ rock tunes in Red Deer this weekend.

The Vancouver musicians, who perform on Sunday at the International Beer Haus and Stage, are best known for the hit Letterman (it won the Best of B.C. Songwriting Contest and was a Top 20 alternative radio hit for six months, peaking at No. 3).

The Gay Nineties are releasing their Liberal Guilt album, which involves the talents of producer Scott Ternan (54/40, Sam Roberts). It follows their debut EP Coming Together on First Love Records.

The group that’s starting to shake its “best kept secret” reputation is touring Canada with July Talk and The Darcys.

French author Modiano wins 2014 Nobel in literature

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Patrick Modiano of France, who has made a lifelong study of the Nazi occupation and its effects on his country, won the 2014 Nobel Prize in literature Thursday for what one academic called “crystal clear and resonant” prose.

Modiano, a 69-year-old resident of Paris, is an acclaimed writer in France but not well known in the Englishspeaking world. The Swedish Academy

RDC: Intimate space a bonus While a couple of people could slow down and deepen their voices to be fully comprehended, we could mostly sit back and enjoy this wacky, house of horrors ride.

Another bonus was the intimate theatre space. Studio A was decked out in fabulous Tudor-style by set designer Cindi Zuby, and lush Elizabethan costumes by Donna Jopp also helped transport us back to the 16th century.

Plagues have come and gone throughout the years, with the latest real-life fears centring on West Africa’s Ebola outbreak.

STORY FROM PAGE D2

FREAK SHOW: Story seems to make less and less sense Charitably interpreted, the first season’s story might have been trying to tell us something about marriage, pregnancy and the hubris within those HGTV-nurtured desires for the ideal domicile. (Or not!) The second season, working from the old yarn about the young couple who unwittingly stumble into the long-abandoned mental hospital, occasioned a flashback story set 50 years earlier that was about crazy nuns, satanic possessions and alien encounters. There was a passing chance at interesting subtext about the Catholic Church’s sex-abuse scandals, but the show became consumed by its own unnecessarily over-the-top torture porn.

Last season — which became a point of parting between devoted and former American Horror Story fans — was about a coven of witches in modern-day New Orleans. A lighthearted feminist commentary seemed to run parallel to that chapter, as when one young witch caused a bus full of predatory fraternity members to crash, killing them all; which led another witch to go to the morgue to sew various frat-

said it gave him the 8 million-kronor ($1.1 million) prize for evoking “the most ungraspable human destinies” and uncovering the humanity of life under Nazi occupation.

Jewishness, the Nazi occupation and loss of identity are recurrent themes in his novels, which include 1968’s La Place de l’Etoile — later hailed in Germany as a key post-Holocaust work.

Modiano’s novel Missing Person won the prestigious Prix Goncourt in 1978 and is among the more than 40 of his works published in French. Some have

been translated into English, including Ring of Roads: A Novel, Villa Triste, A Trace of Malice, and Honeymoon.

Dervila Cooke of Dublin City University, author of a book about Modiano, said his works deal with the traumas of France’s past but have a “darkly humorous touch.”

“His prose is crystal clear and resonant,” she said. “A common description of his work is of its ‘petite musique’ — its haunting little music.”

Modiano was born in a west Paris suburb in July 1945, two months after

the Second World War ended in Europe, to a father with Jewish-Italian origins and a Belgian actress mother who met during the 1940-44 occupation of Paris.

He has also written children’s books and film scripts, including co-writing the 1974 movie Lacombe, Lucien with director Louis Malle and the 2003 movie Bon Voyage with director Jean-Paul Rappeneau. He was a member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000 and won the Austrian State Prize for European Literature in 2012.

be as fun as a plague of zombies, you might want some escapist thrills by checking out William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead. (It’s especially for lovers of The Bard and/or the living dead.)

The play runs to Oct. 18. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

The biggest change is the new knowledge has helped him make better sense of things — such as why he became an artist in the first place.

“I do what I do for a living because I had to define myself to myself. Music became my creative outlet because I had the ability to perform,” said Wilson, who became a punk rock musician

as a teen.

He’s had great success since, starting with the 1990s rock group Junkhouse, then the eight acclaimed albums he made with the Juno Awardwinning roots rockers Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. Wilson continues on an upward trajectory with LeE HARVeY OsMOND, whose moody second album, The Folk Sinner, features guest vocals from Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies), Hawksley Workman, Colin Linden, Oh Susanna, Andy Maize, the Sadies and Paul Reddick.

“The fact that I spent a lifetime being an artist speaks volumes. I knew I wanted to do this ever since I was four years old. I’ve never wanted to do anything else with my life,” said Wilson, “and if I get hit by a car tomorrow, I will die as a writer of music and an artist — so it’s mission accomplished.”

He admitted he felt a little like “someone who wakes up lying beside someone he doesn’t know, wearing somebody else’s clothes” after telling

his adoption story on public radio. But he isn’t sorry, because it’s finally his story to tell.

“People have been wanting to talk to me about it and the story is there,” said Wilson.

Although he’s had to slow down his touring schedule for health reasons, he added he always looks forward to returning to Red Deer to play.

This time it will be just him, his acoustic guitar, and his extensive catalogue of original music — including tunes he’s written for other artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Colin James, Lucinda Williams, Billy Ray Cyrus, Mavis Staples, The Rankin Family, as well as his own band Junkhouse, which scored 11 Top 10 hits.

Advance tickets are $20 (or $25 at the door) from Fratters, 53rd Street Music, or The Soundhouse Guitar & Record Shop. For more information, call 403-356-0033. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

boy body parts back together in order to resurrect the boy she liked most (Evan Peters).

Coven was filled with wickedly conflicted female characters, young and old, not only allowing Lange plenty of room to vamp but also giving Frances Conroy her best role in the series so far: a sanctimonious, second-fiddle witch whose resentment of Lange’s character withstood even a stakeburning. Best of all, Coven brought on Kathy Bates (as an unhappily immortal 18th-century slave owner) and Angela Bassett (as a more sinister version of the legendary voodoo priestess Marie Laveau).

As viewers and critics noted the whole way through, Coven was also a messy tangle of subplots that never quite cohered. I kept hoping it would improve, and to some extent it did, but the camp factor — the only reason many people watch the show — got a little too campy. Bates’s still-living severed head being forced to watch the entire Roots miniseries? Yes, wonderful. But the Stevie Nicks cameo, followed by another Stevie Nicks cameo? That kind of cutesiness began to feel like a desperate attempt to fill episodes and generate Twitter hashtags. It’s always a bad sign when a show starts using satire and song as a nuclear option rather than as a subtle slap on the rear.

So now here we are, in Florida (itself a kind of American horror story), where Sarah Paulson, who always seems to draw the short end of the stick in these melodramas, plays conjoined twins Bette and Dot.

After the twins are suspected in the murder of their mother, Fraulein Elsa moves in and offers them refuge as the stars of her financially troubled freak show. And because this is American Horror Story, she immediately asks Bette and Dot about their shared genitalia and sexual desires. (It should be noted that the show has always been drawn to sexual violence and prurience, often to a perverted degree; it’s difficult to warn viewers of a crossed line when so many fans seem to watch the show in hopes of it.)

Peters also returns this season as the temperamental but possibly redeemable Jimmy Darling, the Lobster Boy, and he seems to be doing a riff on Johnny Depp’s titular role in John Waters’ Cry-Baby. Bates takes on the role of his mother, Ethel Darling, the Bearded Lady, by moastlyoaverexaggerating the Maryland o’s in the hirsute woman’s Mid-Atlantic dialect.

Both roles demonstrate that joining the American Horror Story company is more or less a crapshoot. Peters got a challenging role last season as the Frankenstein monster of the fraternity carnage; Bates got a part that allowed her to run away with several episodes of Coven.

Neither actor seems to be in for as much fun this time, but, if we’ve learned anything from American Horror Story, it’s a wait-and-see kind of show that always has a few surprises (and several more characters) left up its sleeves.

As with Coven, premise and beginning are still American Horror Story’s trickiest hurdles; the characters pile

up (Michael Chiklis arrives to the freak show as a menacing strongman who is married to a three-breasted hermaphrodite played by Bassett) while the story seems to make less and less sense.

There’s an intentional disconnect to it all, and it’s too early to tell whether the narrative style will offer any payoff. Freak Show is certainly telling a weird story, but it’s not all that scary and, worse yet, the characters are already launching into tedious monologues about civil rights for geeks: “I’ll tell you who the monsters are — the people outside this tent,” Elsa hisses to an unwelcome interrogator. “My monsters, the ones you call ‘depraved,’ they are the beautiful, heroic ones.

They offer their oddity to the world.”

To combat the creep of boredom, Freak Show has thoughtfully included a wandering, murderous clown guaranteed to give anyone a raging case of coulrophobia (if you didn’t already have one). He’s dirty and terrifying, straight out of the John Wayne Gacy paintings. He murders a couple and kidnaps their sleeping son; he approaches teenage lovers necking on a picnic blanket, murders the boy and kidnaps the girl.

Then, in the second episode, a delusional, wealthy mother (Conroy) hires this nightmare clown to entertain her spoiled-rotten son (Finn Wittrock) and, once more, American Horror Story reminds us that its true talents are mostly visual and suggestive. Good luck getting that clown out of your head as you turn in for the night.

HAND Keith Mar. 12, 1923 to Oct. 3, 2014 Keith passed away peacefully surrounded by family at home near Lacombe following a lengthy illness with cancer. He was 91. He was born in Red Deer and grew up in Burnaby and New Westminster. At 17, he helped his family move back to Alberta in 1940 riding with his brother and furniture in the back of a truck.

In 1948 he married Elizabeth (Beth) Damant of Lacombe and together bought his parents farm east of Lacombe. They farmed until retiring in 1989. He loved growing up in Burnaby but always said that Alberta was the best place to live. He enjoyed farming, going for country drives, travelling, reading, meeting new people and old friends, square dancing and woodworking but nothing made his day more than a visit from all his family.

Card Of Thanks MALENFANT The Malenfant family and those closest to Carl wish to express our overwhelming gratitude to the friends, colleagues, students, neighbors, and francaphone community who have supported us through these difficult weeks.

The food, flowers, words of inspiration and shared tears have carried us when we surely could not do it alone.

We would also like to say a special thank you to Lindsay Thurber High School and the staff and students for providing us with a beautiful space for Carl’s farewell. A special thank you to Francois Piche for organizing the celebration, to Rob Porka, Eric Thibeaut, Serge Jette, and Gilles Theriault for their heartwarming tales of Carl.

We are especially grateful to Gilles and Caroline Theriault for the beautiful audio/video presentation and assistance with the luncheon. Carl loved life and lived it to the fullest.

Hijabi hipsters fuse fashion, faith

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Women in hijab wearing eye-catching styles often find themselves at odds with conservatives who say hijab should be about covering a woman’s beauty and concealing it from strangers.

“People are resistant to change and people like to keep things the same,” said fashion blogger Maria Al-Sadek.

“It’s just like a stigma to be stylish and resemble Western wear sometimes.”

Last year, a group called Mipsterz, or Muslim Hipsters, made a short video of a group of American Muslim women skateboarding in heels and showing off their ultra-stylish hijabi styles.

The video drew mixed reactions, including criticism from people who thought it bent too much toward Western notions of beauty and went against Islamic principles of humility. Marwa Atik, 23, was in the video and saw it as a chance to position her fashion line, Vela Scarves, which she produces in Los Angeles.

The graduate of Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles says she sold more than 3,200 scarves last year to customers and plans to expand her offerings to include apparel. For her, wearing the headscarf has never been a barrier to being fashionable.

“It’s very easy to get into the stereotypes and start to feel insecure,” she said.

“I made sure people see me as I see me.”

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Fashion-conscious Muslim women from Kuala Lampur to Los Angeles who wear the Islamic headscarf, known as the hijab, have had to get creative.

By fusing both their sense of fashion with their faith, this growing group, some of whom have dubbed themselves hipster hijabis, is reinterpreting traditional notions of what it means to dress conservatively. They’re spawning a new market for niche fashion brands and finding unexpected supporters among some mainstream brands, as well as from conservative Christian and Orthodox Jewish women who also dress modestly.

“We want to be current in fashion and adhere to the tenets of our faith,” said Ibtihaj Muhammad, who owns Louella, a fashion brand catering to women who combine modest dressing with fashion.

The Los Angeles-based brand has sold nearly 4,000 pieces since its launch three months ago. Muhammad, a professional athlete and member of the United States fencing team, said she struggled trying to find longsleeved, floor-length dresses to wear when she travelled on speaking tours on behalf of Team USA and the State Department.

Though there are countless Muslim-owned companies around the world making clothes that cater to women who wear the hijab, many are selling traditional blackflowing robes known as abayas.

“I just got tired of spending money and chasing this idea of this perfect modest dress,” she said.

Some mainstream designers also have started to cater to this growing demand for stylish modest wear. This summer, DKNY released a collection during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan that sold exclusively in the Arabian Gulf. Karl Lagerfeld also brought his Chanel Cruise Collection this year to Dubai, unveiling an array of designs inspired by the rich culture and patterns of the Middle East.

Still, the market is ripe for more investment said Albert Momdijan, founder and CEO ited of Dubai-based Sokotra Limme Capital. ti er “The Muslim populaoff tion is the second largest population in the world with roughly 1.8 billion people so it’s a large population that you definitely cannot ignore. And 50 per cent are below the age of 25,” he said. “It’s a young population, it’s a growing population and it’s a large addressable market.”

The hipster hijabi movement is the byproduct of a young generation of Muslim women * coming of age. It grew organically, spurred in Regular price currently $84/month. part by social media, and continues to take on new meaning by the women who embrace it. Summer Albarcha coined her photo-sharing Instagram account “Hipster Hijabis” in 2012, when the teenager from St. Louis, Missouri was just TM 16. She now has almost 23,000 people following her on Instagram. Her loyal following prompted New-York based label Mimu Maxi, run by two FREE PVR rental and 2 FREE digital box rentals† Orthodox Jewish women, Built-in Wi-Fi® to connect all your devices in your home‡ to send her one of their popular maxi skirts to The most HD channels and movies to entertain the whole family model. The collaboration caused a stir, with many Jewish customers blasting Mimu Maxi for featuring a Muslim woman in hijab. Albarcha says the experience only reaffirmed the universal struggle women of all faiths and backgrounds have when trying to find stylish conservative pieces to wear.

“It came out that our ideas of wanting modest Call 310-MYTV (6988), fashion and in promotgo to telus.com/switch or visit your TELUS store. ing it is something really similar and something we have in common between our religions,” she TELUS STORES said. “We should both be Red Deer working together to emBower Place Mall 5125 76A St. 6838 50th Ave. brace this idea and exParkland Mall 5301 43rd St. 7434 50th Ave. pand it.” *Offer available until October 22, 2014, to residential customers who have not subscribed to Optik TV or Internet in the past 90 days.
