‘Grain engulfments’ deadly SAFETY EXPERT CALLS FOR AWARENESS AFTER FARM TRAGEDY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WITHROW — An agriculture safety expert is calling for more education about dangers on the farm after three Alberta sisters suffocated while playing in a truck loaded with canola. Glen Blahey with the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association says it may look like fun to jump in a pile of tiny grains or seeds — but it can be deadly. He wants companies that sell grain bins and farm equipment to talk with customers about the risks of

“grain engulfments.” He also wants more farm families to talk about it with their children. “It’s what we perceive as being hazardous is the challenge,” Blahey says. Catie Bott, 13, and 11-year-old twins Dara and Jana were buried by canola Tuesday on their family’s farm near the hamlet of Withrow in the west-central part of the province. Their parents and neighbours worked to free them from the truck but two of the girls could not be revived. The third was taken by air ambulance to hospital in Edmonton, but she died overnight.

Blahey said four other people, including a 14-year-old boy and his grandfather in Saskatchewan, have suffocated in grain so far in 2015. The number of cases has been increasing in recent years, he added. That’s why the agency has a program that funds training volunteer firefighters in rescue techniques, he said. Earlier this year, a crew that received the training helped save a man buried up to his chin in grain on a farm in Nova Scotia.

FEDERAL ELECTION

Advance poll turnout promising BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Central Alberta advance poll results for the 42nd federal election might be the precursor of a better voter overall turnout than in the 2011 election. For the first time, advance polls were open four days in- Harper, Mulcair take stead of the usual three, and ac- aim at Trudeau A6 cording to Elections Canada, this is at least part of the reason why there was a 71 per cent overall increase in the number of Canadian voters choosing to vote early. The general election is on Monday. Chief Electoral Officer of Canada Marc Mayrand released the estimated preliminary number of electors who voted between Oct. 9 and 12, which showed a total of 3.6 million electors voted at advance polls across the country. There were 2,100,855 electors who voted in advance in the 2011 general election, which, after the general election was over, tallied an overall voter turnout of 61.1 per cent. In Central Alberta it’s difficult to compare advance vote numbers with the previous election because new ridings have been created, along with new boundaries. The changes have been substantial. The old Red Deer riding in 2011 is now split in two, becoming Red Deer-Lacombe and Red Deer-Mountain View ridings, but also taking into their new boundaries portions of other 2011 ridings. The advance polls for the new Red Deer-Lacombe riding drew 11,439 people, or 13.3 per cent of the 85,865 eligible voters. Red Deer-Mountain View saw 12,275 advance voters,or 14.2 per cent of 86,322 eligible voters. In the 2011 election, advance polls in the old Red Deer riding drew 4,602 voters, or just five per cent of its then 93,723 eligible voters. And in the former Wetaskiwin riding — part of which the new Red Deer-Lacombe riding takes in — there were 80,262 eligible voters in 2011 with 4,792 (about six per cent) casting votes in the advance polls. In the new Yellowhead riding, 14.8 per cent (10,854) of 73,357 eligible voters cast advance votes. Even though the riding name has not changed, its boundaries have. The new riding includes Rocky Mountain House voters. In the new riding of Battle River-Crowfoot, which includes the Stettler area, there were 7,246 advance voters, representing nine per cent of the 80,259 eligible voters. On Monday, when the full election turnout is known, it may be better understood whether the increased advance voter was because more people just decided to vote early, more decided to vote, or the election campaign itself has created new interest in voting. Or maybe it was just the weather. The weather forecast for Monday in Red Deer is looking positive, showing some cloud, with a chance of a shower and a high of 13C. Polls in Alberta will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. For more information about voting go to the Elections Canada website at elections.ca or call toll-free 1-800-463-6868 between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m.

‘EL CHAPO’ SELLING LIKE HOTCAKES

Suspicous man approaches girl near school BY ADVOCATE STAFF Police are investigating an incident involving a man who approached a young girl on her way to school on Thursday morning. It’s the second incident in 10 days in which a man has approached a young girl. Police have not established if the two incidents are related. Red Deer RCMP said that at about 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, near 41st Street Crescent and West Park Crescent, a man got out of a truck and approached a nine-year-old girl. He asked her if she was cold and offered her a jacket to wear. The girl ran away and the man got back into the truck and drove off. The man was described as about 1.72 to 1.77 metres tall (five-foot-eight to five-foot-1o), between 20 and 30 years old, with brown hair and facial stubble. He drove an older model, light-grey truck. The other incident happened on Oct. 6. A man in a truck approached an eight-year-old girl at about 4 p.m. on Addington Drive and tried to convince her to get into the truck. He had blond hair, blue eyes and black tattoo beside one eye. The truck was light brown, with two doors. Anyone with information is asked to contact Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.

Thursday that strengthening consumer protection is a priority of the NDP government. He says that’s why the government is proposing stronger disclosure and clear options for new buyers when their condos are not completed on time or as promised Albertans can review and comment on a draft version of the regulations through an online survey that runs until Oct. 30. The survey link can be found on Service Alberta’s website.

Alberta wants input from public on changes to condominium legislation EDMONTON — The Alberta government is looking at changes to condominium legislation, and it wants public input. Some of the proposed changes include allowing buyers to cancel purchase agreements if developers don’t meet move-in dates and requiring developers to make detailed operating budgets. Robert Noce, a condo lawyer, says the changes will be good for condo buyers. Service Alberta Minister Deron Bilous said

SAFETY: Like sinking in quicksand Getting stuck in a loaded truck or grain bin is like sinking in quicksand, Blahey explained. Flowing grain moves like liquid and anything more dense sinks down. And it happens quickly. An average-sized man will be buried up to his chest in 15 seconds, Blahey said. The surrounding grain exerts pressure on the body, requiring at least 136 kilograms of force to lift him out. Rescues are difficult and complex, he said. “You can’t just reach out and grab him by the hand.” Once a person’s face is submerged, it becomes impossible to breathe. “If you try to draw a breath of air in, your mouth and your nose fill with grain. When you exhale, your chest gets smaller and the grain moves in against your chest. Then you can’t inhale, because now you’ve got all this force against your body, keeping you from filling your lungs.” Canola seeds are also smaller than other crops — tiny enough to drop through the opening of a ballpoint pen, said Blahey. That means the girls would have sunk more quickly and suffocated faster. RCMP haven’t released further details about the accident and are continuing to investigate.

Latex masks depicting Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, hang out to dry at Caretas REV, a company specializing in manufacturing costumes, in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The Mexican costume maker says prison jumpers and latex masks of the mustachioed, twice-escaped drug kingpin are selling like hotcakes. Caretas has produced more than 2,600 of the masks this month, many of them for export to the U.S. and Canada.

Blahey would like to know how long it took before the girls’ parents realized they were trapped. “I don’t mean to criticize the parents of those three children that were lost but, at the same time, as caregivers we’re responsible to protect them. We need to look at them as say, ‘Is this safe to do? What are the hazards?”’ Roger and Bonita Bott released a statement Wednesday saying they don’t regret introducing their daughters to a farm lifestyle. Pat Alexander, reeve of Clearwater County, said the many people in the area know the Bott family and are struggling to comprehend the tragedy. “Its going to take a long time to work our way through this.”

FLU: Two vaccines available This season Alberta Health Services has two vaccines to fight the flu — one protects against three strains and the other protects against four strains. “We’re definitely expecting a much, much better match than last year that’s for sure,” Lavoie said. All seniors will get an enhanced three-strain vaccine. Last year the enhanced vaccine was only available to seniors in long-term care facilities. This season for the first time, infants and children up to age 17 will receive a four-strain vaccine. The vaccine for infants will protect against two influenza B strains, the strain that more often impacts them.

that two suspicious men had been seen in the area. There were several fires in the neighbourhood of Ravenswood on Monday night. Nickolas Maschke of Calgary and Trevor Brown of Airdrie are to appear in court in Airdrie on Oct. 22.

Terrace man found guilty of seconddegree murder of teenage girlfriend KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A B.C. Supreme Court jury needed barely five hours to reach its verdict in the case of a Terrace man charged with murdering his teenage girlfriend. Damien Taylor, 24, has been convicted of the second-degree murder of 16-year-old CJ Fowler, who learned she was pregnant just hours before she was found dead. A second-degree murder conviction carries a life sentence. Last season 30 per cent of Albertans were vaccinated, up three per cent from 2013-14. This season the province has purchased enough vaccine for 40 per cent of the population and wants to use it up. Sixty per cent of health care workers were immunized last season and the province is now shooting for 80 per cent. “We are strongly recommending immunization for all Albertans six months of age and older to prevent the infection and all its complications. “Everybody is at risk of influenza. It’s not just the elderly or infants or people with medical conditions.” Lavoie said last year’s mismatch doesn’t happen very often. “If you don’t get immunized, you get no protection. That’s very clear. Our message is still get immunized. We tend to have some mismatch and last year it was more of a severe mismatch.” Immunization is available at clinics, pharmacies and some doctors offices. Next week drop-in clinics will be held in Red Deer at the following locations: ● Tuesday Oct. 20, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Marquis Room at Westerner Park Harvest Centre, 4847A 19th St. ● Thursday Oct. 22 from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Marquis Room at Westerner Park Harvest Centre. ● Saturday Oct. 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Red Deer First Christian Reformed Church, 16 McVicar St. For more information on upcoming clinics visit www. albertahealthservices.ca/influenza.asp.-

dozen AHS Uber warning issued Four employees face BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY

BRIEF Flu shot program begins Tuesday, protects against multiple strains EDMONTON — Alberta Health Services says the flu vaccine it will offer this season should do a better job of protecting people. Last year the flu shot did not protect against a mutated strain of influenza A, which was the strain that got most people sick. More than 100 people died in Alberta from the flu last year. Dr. Martin Lavoie, deputy chief medical officer of health, says the vaccines they have this year protects against multiple strains of flu. Alberta’s immunization program begins Tuesday, and officials hope 40 per cent of people will roll up their sleeve for a shot. Cases of the flu have already been reported this season, including a recent outbreak in Edmonton.

Uber partners with Air Miles to give customers loyalty points

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Uber said at a news conference earlier this week that it was going ahead despite the city’s reservations “While they expressed some concerns about how Uber operates, we shared with them our perspective on why we think Uber is a distinct business model that can bring value to Calgary,” said Uber spokesman Xavier Van Chau.

CALGARY — Alberta Health Services says four dozen of its employees in the Calgary zone are facing disciplinary action for inappropriately accessing a patient’s information. CEO Vickie Kaminski says the 48 work at South Health Campus and across the Calgary region. She says one person is facing termination, while the others are being suspended without pay from two to five days. Kaminski says all AHS employees are accountable for patient privacy. She says user activity in AHS electronic systems is recorded and audited, and suspicious activity or accessing information is flagged. The Calgary zone stretches north to Didsbury, south to Claresholm, west to Banff and east to Gleichen. “All AHS employees, physicians and volunteers are accountable for patient privacy. It is not only the right thing to do it is the law,” Kaminski said in a statement Wednesday. “AHS also reports privacy breaches to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner … the body that holds authority to pursue prosecution of any individual who perpetrates breaches under the Health Information Act.” Kaminski said prosecutions can result in fines and are reported to the appropriate professional regulatory bodies. The United Nurses of Alberta issued a statement calling for Kaminski to resign, saying it was inappropriate for her to release the information. It says Kaminski’s statement “was issued improperly without consultation with the employees’ union, and before disciplinary meetings with all affected employees had been conducted.” The union said it won’t comment further until the matter is resolved.

tip were left in his body. Nicholas Rasberry, 32, is on trial for seconddegree murder. Court has been told that Rasberry, Kelloway, 31, and their wives met for the first time on May 4, 2013 — the day Kelloway died. Kelloway had just moved in two doors down from Rasberry and they got together for drinks, a barbecue and additional late-night drinks at Rasberry’s home. Court has heard a 911 call made by Rasberry in which he said he stabbed a man multiple times because the man “tried to have sex” with him.

Police stopped the 25-year-old for riding on the sidewalk and not having the bell. Police say they gave him a false name, so he was arrested for obstruction of justice. While officers were trying to arrest the man, a knife fell out of his pants. That led to a full search of his backpack, where police say they found a sawed-off shotgun, drugs and trafficking paraphernalia. The cyclist is now facing charges related to weapons, trafficking, obstruction and breaching conditions, along with the ticket for not having a bell on his bike.

TORONTO — Ride hailing service Uber is helping passengers make their way into the skies under a new partnership with Air Miles. The mobile app, which has shaken up the taxi industry, is offering riders the option of collecting rewards points with the Canadian loyalty program operator. The points can be redeemed for flight credits and a variety of other free items, like vouchers and household appliances. Uber has been aggressively rolling out in cities across Canada, first allowing people to hire drivers through their phones and more recently launching a food delivery service through UberEats. Calgary joined the growing list of Canadian cities with Uber service on Thursday, despite warnings from Mayor Naheed Nenshi that its drivers were breaking existing local laws, which won’t be reviewed by council until Nov. 16. Other Canadian cities with Uber vehicles include Edmonton and Waterloo, London and Hamilton, Ont. In the United States, Uber launched a general delivery service on Wednesday called UberRush. The option works like a courier by giving customers the option to ship small items from one location to another.

CALGARY — One of Canada’s most high-profile mayors has come out swinging against the online ride-sharing service Uber. Naheed Nenshi, whose adoption of new online tools has been seen as a major key to his political success, is urging Calgarians not to drive for the service that has generated controversy in municipalities across the country. The outspoken mayor says he is disappointed Uber decided to begin its operations in Calgary on Thursday without adequate insurance or regulations to protect public safety. “I strongly suggest that you don’t drive for Uber and that you don’t use Uber until the insurance and regulatory issues are sorted out,” Nenshi in a statement. “If you drive for Uber, you should be aware that you are breaking the law.” Until the city decides how to regulate private forhire vehicles, the current Livery Transport Bylaw will remain in force. Drivers who contravene the bylaw could face fines of between $1,500 and $4,500 a day. Neither the Uber vehicles or their drivers are licensed by the City of Calgary. “We welcome options that meet the needs of our citizens and that offer them the ability to get around quickly and efficiently,” said Marc Halat, the city’s manager of compliance services. “Citizen safety is the primary objective as the city works to provide transportation options that meet the needs of Calgarians and our visitors.” The Uber phenomenon has caught the attention of civic officials across the country. The ride-sharing service already exists in 30 Canadian municipalities, including Edmonton, where it launched nine months ago. Last month, Toronto city council voted to investigate regulating Uber and to look at new rules to level the playing field in the taxi industry, which says it is losing business with the arrival of an unlicensed and lower-priced competitor. “Uber has shown itself to be flexible in different regulatory environments around the world. It would be helpful for everyone if they demonstrate that same flexibility here in Calgary,” said Nenshi.

CALGARY — A new study suggests the grizzly bear population is on the rise in parts of western Alberta. The report by FRI Research estimates that between 2004 and 2014 the number of bears in the foothills east of Banff and Jasper increased by about seven per cent each year. Researchers say that is a higher rate than commonly seen in grizzly bear populations in North America. The report says the exact reason for the increase is not clear, and more study is needed. But it notes the province has banned the hunting of grizzly bears, which are listed as a threatened species in Alberta, since 2006. The study was prepared for the Alberta government, Jasper National Park and two forestry companies and is to be used to help manage the bears.

ter into their wine or, in this case, putting wine in the water of their cautious platform. The two parties disagree on fiscal policy. Mulcair spent the campaign preaching the need to balance the federal budget each and every year of the next mandate. Trudeau is planning to run deficits for three years. But would many New Democrat voters truly want their party to bring down a Liberal government for running deficits and spending more on Canada’s social and physical infrastructures? And what of Trudeau’s plan to cut off the federal child benefits of high-income families to redistribute the money to the less wealthy ones? Would the NDP really hold a parliamentary knife to the throat of a minority government in the name of the more well-off Canadians? The line in the NDP/Liberal sand rarely gets deeper than on the issue of C-51, the Conservatives’ controversial anti-terrorism legislation. Mulcair has vouched to scrap it while Trudeau — whose party voted for its adoption — has promised to improve it. It is unlikely that a minority Liberal government would stake its survival on getting its amendments to C-51 through

Parliament. But would the NDP oppose corrective amendments such as the introduction of parliamentary oversight of Canada’s security services if the alternative was to leave unchanged the law passed under the Conservatives? Mulcair has made it clear that no amount of Senate reform can reconcile his party with the continued existence of the institution. Fair enough, but Trudeau does not need the support of another party to set up an arm’s-length process to select the future members of the upper house. The way a prime minister goes about getting advice for Senate appointments is left to his discretion. If he were prime minister, Mulcair would scrap the just-negotiated Trans-Pacific Partnership. Trudeau has kept his options open subject to the fine print of the deal. But a Liberal minority government would not need the NDP to ratify the TPP, for it could count on Conservative support to do so. Finding enough common ground to defeat a minority Liberal government would not come easily to the New Democrats and the Conservatives, or at least not for a while.

Most of his achievements will be measured by impartial future historians who will analyze his record and wonder why so many Canadians fell prey to the irrational hysteria about the man and his tenure as Prime Minister. The historians will likely wonder why Harper was portrayed as a villain when he guided Canada to a comfortable position atop most of the measurements for great countries. They will wonder why Canadians decided that a leader, whose track record drew admiration and envy for its success on the world stage, was rejected by Canadians in favor of an ideologue whose policy and ability to make decisions are a moving target-depend-

Canada loses a true hero DIPLOMAT KEN TAYLOR DEAD OF CANCER AT 81 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Ken Taylor, whose role in the 1979 “Canadian Caper” made him a hero on both sides of the border for helping shelter six U.S. citizens at the height of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, has died. He was 81. His exploits in Tehran at the time were the basis for the blockbuster 2012 Hollywood film Argo, which resurrected the crisis for a whole new generation — even if it was criticized for understating Canada’s part in the drama. Taylor, who was diagnosed in August with colon cancer, died Thursday at about 2:45 p.m. at New York Presbyterian Hospital, said family friend Ralph Lean. “I was sitting here crying, if you can believe it — I’m an old guy who doesn’t cry, and I was crying,” Lean said. “Those of us who know him lost a friend, but Canadians lost a true hero who just lived life to the fullest and I got lucky enough to be allowed to tag along with Taylor.” Taylor’s wife, Pat, was by his side when he died, said Lean.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING Ken Taylor, who helped shelter six U.S. citizens at the height of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, died in New York on Thursday at the age of 81. Here are some of the tributes: “Ambassador Taylor’s courageous actions exemplify the enduring nature of the special relationship between the United States and Canada,” — U.S. Ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman “As Canada’s ambassador to Iran during the Iranian Revolution, Taylor valiantly risked his own life by shielding a group of American diplomats from capture,” — Prime Minister Stephen Harper “Ken Taylor was a great ambassador and a true Canadian hero for his lifesaving actions during the Iranian revolution. He’ll be missed,” — Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. “A heroic Canadian diplomat, educator and businessman,” — NDP leader Tom Mulcair Taylor is also survived by his son, Douglas, and his wife Dana and two grandchildren.

Blood spatter expert tells Oland trial he was called four days after crime SAINT JOHN, N.B. — An RCMP

blood spatter expert says he was called four days after Richard Oland’s murder to assist in the investigation. Sgt. Brian Wentzell of Halifax testified today that he arrived in Saint John, N.B., on July 11 and began to examine the scene. Dennis Oland has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the Court of Queen’s Bench in the death of his father, whose body was found in a pool of blood in his office on July 7, 2011. Wentzell said by the time he arrived, blood had dried and was beginning to flake away from the floor. He told the jury that it was also a disadvantage to his work that the body had already been removed. No murder weapon was ever found.

Pearce found Stuckless suffers from “homosexual pedohebephilia” but does not have a major mental illness.

Harper, Mulcair take aim at Trudeau FEDERAL ELECTION

OTTAWA — The Dan Gagnier drag chute billowed out behind the Liberal campaign Thursday, giving Stephen Harper and Tom Mulcair a badly needed chance to catch up to the apparent front-runner, Justin Trudeau. Trudeau, however, gave as good as he got — at least as far as the Conservative leader was concerned — by amping up the outrage over Rob and Doug Ford’s recent appearance on the Tory trail. Gagnier, the party’s campaign co-chairman, abruptly quit his volunteer post Wednesday after The Canadian Press disclosed details of an email in which he provides lobbying advice to an oil pipeline company. That gave Harper and Mulcair the perfect opportunity to take a swing at a long-standing Achilles heel for the Liberals: the sponsorship scandal. “They can try to put a fresh face on it, but behind the scenes it’s still the same old gang pulling the same old tricks,” said the NDP’s Mulcair, who — campaigning in Montreal, where he needs a reversal of fortune — could barely contain his glee. “You can’t trust the Liberals. It’s the same old Liberal party.”

Trudeau, Mulcair noted, has been campaigning alongside former Liberal stalwarts Jean Chretien and Paul Martin, who presided over the party during the sponsorship scandal, in which firms won contracts based on donations to the Liberals with little work being done. Some of the cash was kicked back to Liberal operatives. Harper, who was in Opposition at the height of the controversy, also seized on the chance to break out some of his greatest hits. “I think we should all understand that the culture of the Liberal party that gave us the sponsorship scandal has not changed and it will not change.” Gagnier stepped down after The Canadian Press revealed he emailed officials at TransCanada Corp., the company behind the Energy East pipeline, with advice on how and when to lobby a new government — including a Liberal minority. For his part, Trudeau said Gagnier’s departure demonstrates that the Liberals “take ethical standards and responsibilities extremely seriously.” The controversy has the potential

to dramatically upend the narrative that had been taking shape during the campaign’s final week — especially in Quebec, where Energy East is a divisive issue. All of which, of course, is why Trudeau jumped on the chance to drop the most powerful four-letter F-bomb in all of Canadian politics: Ford. Harper should be “embarrassed that he’s having to count on the support of Rob Ford for his re-election,” Trudeau said. Former Toronto mayor and current city Coun. Rob Ford, who has admitted to smoking crack cocaine, appeared at a Harper event earlier this week with his brother Doug, who has admitted smoking marijuana in high school. “There’s a lot of people talking in the news these days about the hypocrisy of the Fords and their drug problems and Mr. Harper and his positions on that,” Trudeau said. “But that’s not really the issue, as serious as it is, that strikes me most. What bothers me most is the misogyny. The Ford brothers should have no place on a national campaign stage, much less hosting a prime minister at an event this weekend. “That’s just completely irresponsible of the prime minister.”

Jury hears disturbing testimony at Turcotte trial BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SAINT-JEROME, Que. — A confidant of Guy Turcotte, the Quebecer charged in the stabbing deaths of his two children, testified Thursday the accused told him his young son pleaded for his life and that he could hear the boy dying. Luc Tanguay, a man Turcotte had previously hired to help him communicate better, said he met with the cardiologist two weeks after the stabbing deaths of Olivier, 5, and Anne-Sophie, 3. The Crown has wrapped up its case

STORY FROM PAGE A5

TAYLOR: ‘Valour and ingenuity’ Born in 1934 in Calgary, Taylor was heralded as a hero for helping save the Americans — a clandestine operation that had the full support of Joe Clark’s short-lived Progressive Conservative government. Taylor didn’t initially want his friends and family making a fuss about his health, his son Douglas said, although eventually he came to terms with his fate and warmed to the idea of having them visit him in hospital. “At the end, he came to an acceptance of the time frame that was left, and really for him what was most important for him were obviously his family and his friends,” the younger Taylor said. “So a lot of them came down over the past week or so, and he had an anecdote about each and every one of them and it was really quite amazing — he had a great clarity of mind and sense of humour. Right up until the end, until yesterday.” Tributes poured in as news of Taylor’s passing spread. U.S. ambassador Bruce Heyman hailed his “valour and ingenuity” in harbouring the six Americans, an act of bravery for which he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. “Ambassador Taylor’s courageous actions exemplify the enduring nature of the special relationship between the United States and Canada.” Conservative Leader Stephen Harper paid tribute at a campaign rally in Thetford Mines, Que., expressing his “deepest condolences.” “As ambassador to Iran in 1979, Mr. Taylor acted with great heroism to protect the lives of American hostages,” Harper said. “His memory will live on in the annals of Canadian diplomacy.” But Taylor disagreed with the Harper government’s decision to close Canada’s embassy in Tehran in 2012 and sever diplomatic relations with Iran. Taylor said Canada closed its eyes and ears to a country that needed monitoring: “As a diplomat,” he said, “I think you never give up.” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair described Taylor as “a heroic Canadian diplomat, educator and businessman.” Taylor’s wife Pat said her husband’s legacy would be his generosity. “He did all sorts of things for everyone without any expectation of something coming back,” she told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “It’s why that incident

and the defence will outline its approach on Monday when the first-degree murder trial resumes. Turcotte has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder but has admitted to causing the children’s deaths. Tanguay testified that Turcotte, now 43, said he put the children to bed on the evening of Feb. 20, 2009. He then conducted Internet searches related to suicide as he was upset after reading email exchanges between Isabelle Gaston, who at the time was his estranged wife, and Martin Huot, her new lover. He then consumed windshield washer fluid. in Iran happened,” she said. “There was no second thought about it. He just went ahead and did it. His legacy is that giving is what is important, not receiving. With all his friends that’s what he did.” Those 1979 exploits — a high-stakes political drama with life-and-death implications — later became the subject of the film “Argo.” Taylor made headlines when he complained about how Canada’s role in the crisis was minimized in Ben Affleck’s Oscar-winning thriller about the hostage-rescue exploits of CIA agent Tony Mendez. Affleck set the record straight, saying the CIA operation would not have succeeded without the help of Taylor and his fellow Canadians. “There were folks who didn’t want to stick their necks out and the Canadians did,” Affleck told a Toronto International Film Festival press conference. “They said, ‘We’ll risk ourselves, our diplomatic standing, our lives to harbour these six Americans that we owe nothing to and just because it’s the moral, right thing to do.”’

“He said he became aware he was going to die and he decided he take his children with him,” Tanguay said. Tanguay said Turcotte appeared deeply saddened as he recounted how he then attacked Olivier and Anne-Sophie. Tanguay testified that Turcotte told him that when he attacked Olivier, the young boy said, “non papa, non papa!” Turcotte said he then “heard his son dying,” according to the witness, who had to interrupt his testimony at times after being overcome by emotion.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LILLOOET, B.C. — A man who died following a rampage in a British Columbia First Nations community went from office to office beating employees with a weapon before he could be stopped, says the chief of the Bridge River Indian Band. Susan James said her village of less than 400 people is reeling following the attack that left 11 people injured. The unnamed man who died was also a member of the band and is reported to have used a hammer. “This person entered several offices,” James said. “There wasn’t an awareness of what was taking place. He just entered three offices, kind of in a row, and inflicted injury in those offices before anybody noticed that something was happening.” RCMP said they were called just before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to a report of a man with a weapon at the office of the Bridge River Indian Band, also known as the Xwisten, about nine kilometres northwest of the Interior community of Lillooet. Officers arrived to find the suspect restrained. He was arrested, but police said they were unable to transport him because he was unconscious and unresponsive. He could not be revived. James said three of the victims with the most serious injuries are women who work for the band. They remain in hospital in Kamloops. She said the band’s administrator and another man, who was visiting the office, were also injured and are still in hospital. James didn’t name the man who died, but said he was young. “I can’t say that he had a mental episode,” she said. “I just know he’s a band member who didn’t have a job, wasn’t employed, and was living in the community and obviously needed some kind of help that we weren’t giving him.”

WORLD

FRIDAY, OCT. 16, 2015 TIMELINE WASHINGTON — Over the 14 years since the United States went to war in Afghanistan, the number of American troops there spiraled to 100,000 then dropped below 10,000, with plans to bring the rest home by the end of next year. Now President Barack Obama has put those withdrawal plans on hold. A timeline of the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan: Oct. 7, 2001: President George W. Bush announces that U.S. and British troops have begun striking Afghanistan for harbouring the al-Qaida terrorists blamed for the Sept. 11 attacks. The massive air campaign initially targets Taliban troops, training camps and air defences. November 2001: 1,300 American troops are in the country as commandos and ground troops, mainly Marines, begin to arrive. December 2001: The U.S. force grows to 2,500 as troops scour the mountainous Tora Bora region looking for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. The Taliban is ousted and an interim Afghan government established. March 2002: 7,200 U.S. troops are in Afghanistan as Americans lead allied Afghan forces in the largest ground assault of the war to that point.

December 2002: The U.S. ends the year with about 9,700 troops deployed, mostly going after Taliban insurgents. April 2004: The number swells to 20,300 as the U.S. builds up forces along the Afghan-Pakistan border and provides security for fledgling reconstruction projects. December 2007: The force in Afghanistan rises to 25,000. Still, Iraq is the priority. May 2009: As fighting in Afghanistan intensifies, the number of U.S. troops surpasses 50,000. December 2009: Troops now number more than 67,000, and the situation is deteriorating, with escalating violence and more service members killed. Obama orders in another 33,000 troops to battle al-Qaida militants and a resurgent Taliban. August 2010: The U.S. force reaches 100,000. May 2011: Bin Laden is found hiding in neighbouring Pakistan and killed in a U.S. special operations raid. There are still about 100,000 troops in Afghanistan. June 2011: Saying the U.S. is meeting its goals in Afghanistan, Obama announces his withdrawal plan: Bring home 10,000 troops by the end of 2011, and continue at a steady pace until handing over security responsibilities to the Afghans by 2014. September 2012: Troop levels down to 77,000. March 2014: With nearly 34,000 troops in Afghanistan, Obama orders the Pentagon to develop options for a complete military withdrawal, because Afghan President Hamid Karzai refuses to sign a security agreement with the United States. May 2014: Obama announces his plan to pull virtually all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2016, when his second term in office will be drawing to a close. March 2015: Troops decline to their current number — about 9,800 — on track for a 2016 withdrawal. Oct. 15, 2015: In a reversal, Obama says the situation is too fragile for the American military to leave.

The plan is for the number to decrease to about 5,500 troops in 2017. That year, the next president will move into the White House.

‘I prefer the Taliban’ THE EMERGENCE OF THE ISLAMIC STATE IN THE MAHMAND VALLEY HAS USHERED IN A NEW AGE OF BRUTALITY FOR AFGHANS

★★★

BY SUDARSAN RAGHAVAN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES SAR SHAHI, Afghanistan — When the Islamic State fighters seized the Mahmand Valley, they poured pepper into the wounds of their enemies, said villagers. Then, they seared their hands in vats of boiling oil. A group of villagers was blindfolded, tortured and blown apart with explosives buried underneath them. “They pulled out my brother’s teeth before they forced him to sit on the bombs,” recalled Malik Namos, a tribal elder who escaped the valley along with thousands of other villagers. “They are more vicious than the Taliban, than any group we have seen.” At war for more than three decades, Afghans are familiar with violence perpetrated by a raft of armies and militias. But even by their jaded standards, the emergence here of the Islamic State — the extremist organization that arose in the Middle East — has ushered in a new age of brutality. The radical group adds a fresh dimension to the contest for Afghanistan’s future. Their decrees threaten in some areas to reverse U.S.-funded gains in education and women’s rights. And they have made the Taliban, who have also committed atrocities, an appealing alternative in ungoverned regions. A rare portrait of the group’s rise and of life inside its domain emerged from traveling in Nangahar province — a central battleground of the Islamic State — and in interviews with local officials, tribal elders and more than two dozen villagers who fled areas under the militants’ control. They had found themselves trapped in a fierce new battle for power and territory between Islamic State fighters and the Taliban — with U.S. warplanes bombing both sides — that ended in victory that day for Afghanistan’s latest tormentors. Even as they mirror the cruelty of their Middle East counterparts, the militants in Afghanistan arose from a different set of circumstances and come to the struggle with a somewhat different outlook. Although in the Middle East the group seeks to create a global Islamic caliphate, some fighters here have local ambitions: re-creating the Taliban’s medieval social order, particularly taboos imposed on girls and women, which have waned in many areas since first imposed two decades ago. The majority of fighters are disaffected Afghan and Pakistani Taliban, their desertions fueled partly by the revelation this summer that their one-eyed supreme leader, Mohammad Omar, had been dead for more than two years. Whether they have operational or financial ties to the home base in Syria, are merely inspired by the group, or are using its name to generate attention remains unclear. Nor is it clear how they are obtaining the substantial funds and heavy weaponry that they wield. Unlike the conflict in Syria and Iraq, which straddles Sunni-Shiite fault lines, in Afghanistan both victims and attackers are typically Sunni Muslims, from the same ethnic Pashtun tribes. And the struggle in Nangahar is as much for control of the lucrative narcotics trade as it is for religious and regional influence, according to officials from the United Nations. “In our areas, the time of the Taliban is now over,” declared Ahmad Ali Hazrat, a lawmaker in Jalalabad, the provincial capital, a dusty city where Osama bin Laden first lived when he arrived in Afghanistan in 1996. “We are in a new drama.” Since the withdrawal of most U.S. and international troops in December, the Islamic State has steadily made inroads in Afghanistan. A report last month from the United Nations’ al-Qaida/Taliban Monitoring Team found that the group — also known by its Arabic acronym Daesh — has a growing number of sympathizers and was recruiting followers in 25 of the nation’s 34 provinces. Even so, conversations

An Afghan National Policeman checked vehicles entering Jalalabad City by the Behsud Bridge. Nangarhar Province, of which Jalalabad is the Capital, is increasingly insecure in recent months as fighters loyal to the Islamic State have taken control of several districts and continue to fight existing Taliban elements for more territory and control. with villagers, as well with Afghan officials and elders, suggest that the group’s extremist ideology does not have strong support among most Afghans. In Nangahar, on the Pakistani border, the militants have gained the largest foothold, with a significant presence in more than a quarter of the districts of the province. Since late July, tens of thousands

have fled the region on foot. Many come to Sar Shahi, a hamlet roughly 32 kilometres east of Jalalabad, where they have squatted in unfinished houses or in the craggy yards of friendly residents. On a recent day, as a gentle breeze blew through the hulk of a half-constructed dwelling, the villagers clamored to tell an outsider of how their valley died.

In recent years, the Taliban’s oppressive social codes have not been enforced in many areas, as the Taliban tried to win popular support. In some parts of the country, girls are allowed to attend schools. Hard-line attitudes against music have softened. Public executions have been reduced. Now, Islamic State fighters, led by former hard-line Taliban, are restoring the puritanical way of life in some areas. They have ordered men to grow long beards. Women cannot leave their houses without wearing the traditional head-to-toe blue burqa and must be accompanied by a male relative. Smoking is banned, and shops that sell cigarettes have been shut down. They have also created a unit that tells people how to live their lives morally — like the Taliban’s Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. “Since Allah has conferred control of these areas to the Islamic State,” according to a flier distributed to villagers, all people must attend Friday prayers. The flier also echoed the Taliban’s long-standing ban on narcotics. In practice, though, the Islamic State fighters, like the Taliban, have done nothing to stop opium trafficking. The UN investigators said that the Taliban and Islamic State are clashing over lucrative drug and smuggling routes, vital to their abilities to acquire more weapons and recruits. But the harsh decrees and punitive actions of the Islamic State have led to a rethinking of the Taliban. “There’s a huge difference in the way the Taliban was treating the people and the way Daesh is now,” said Hayatullah. “I prefer the Taliban any day.”

Blues spoil Oilers’ home opener BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blues 4 Oilers 2 EDMONTON — It’s beginning to look like deja vu all over again for Edmonton fans. Alexander Steen, Paul Stastny and Jori Lehtera each recorded a goal and an assist as the St. Louis Blues spoiled the Oilers’ home-opener with a 4-2 victory over Edmonton on Thursday. The Oilers, who have missed the playoffs the last nine seasons, spending the majority of that time at or near the bottom of the standings, are now 0-4 to start the 2015-2016 season. “I think the whole fan base is impatient right now and we are feeling that right now,” said Oilers forward Taylor Hall. “We don’t want to be down 0-4 to start the year. That’s probably the worst-case scenario. When you looked at it mid-summer, this is probably the worst you could have imagined. We have to find a way.” Edmonton head coach Todd McLellan said the whole team is tense at the moment. “We have a little bit of a roller coaster thing going on right now where we get a little bit of momentum and then the other team will come back and score and we sag a bit,” he said. “Emotionally, we are up and down quite a bit and that comes from not winning.” Vladimir Tarasenko also scored for the Blues (3-1-0) who have won their last eight games against Edmonton. “The game in the first period was up for grabs, Edmonton was probably a bit more energized, but halfway through the second period we started to get on the grind and took it over,” said Blues coach Ken Hitchcock. “We did a good job at the end of the second period and a great job the whole third period.”

Lauri Korpikoski and Hall scored for the Oilers. First overall draft pick Connor McDavid played his first regular-season game in Edmonton, but was held without a point. It didn’t take the Oilers long to get on the board, scoring on the game’s first shot as a fortunate bounce off the boards came out front to Korpikoski and he buried it past Blues starter Brian Elliott just 1:36 into the game. However, St. Louis bounced back a minute-and-a-half later as a Troy Brouwer shot caromed off the post to Lehtera, who beat Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot. The Blues took a 2-1 lead with four minutes to play in the second period as a face-off win in the Edmonton zone came back to Tarasenko, who blasted in his third of the season. St. Louis went up by a pair four minutes into the third with a power-play goal as Steen sent a shot in front that deflected off Stastny and in. Two minutes later, the Oilers got back into the game on a great individual effort by Hall, who battled for a puck in front before lifting a backhand shot into the net. The Blues put the game away with two minutes left though as Steen blasted a one-timer past Talbot for his second of the season. The Blues play the fourth game of a season-high six-game road swing in Vancouver on Friday. The Oilers head back out on the road to play the Flames in Calgary on Saturday. Notes: The last time Edmonton defeated St. Louis was a 3-0 shutout in March of 2013. … Blues rookie Robby Fabbri was out with a concussion. Also absent for the Blues was defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk (lower body). … The Oilers remained without winger Jordan Eberle (shoulder). … It was the final home opener at Rexall Place, as the Oilers will move into their new rink to start next season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays promise plenty of fireworks in their AL Championship Series, and not just because one team features power arms and the other power bats. The Royals and Blue Jays already have played a contentious set of games this season, including a matchup in Toronto marked by two bench-clearing incidents. And while both sides said during Thursday’s workouts that previous rancour has been forgotten, the emotionally charged atmosphere of playoff baseball means there could be some short fuses in the opener Friday night. “It’s over with. We’ve got to move forward,” insisted the Royals’ Edinson Volquez, who will start Game 1 and was arguably the biggest instigator when the teams met in August. It was Volquez whose inside pitching drew the ire of the Blue Jays, eventually leading to the first of those bench-clearing moments. And after the game, he called Blue Jays star Josh Donaldson “a little baby” for complaining about his inside pitching. Asked whether he intends to pitch inside again Friday night, Volquez replied: “Of course.” Royals manager Ned Yost was one word more succinct: “Absolutely.” Even if it might mean more bad blood. “I’m not a mind reader. I’m not a fortune teller. I don’t know if it’s going to be an issue,” Yost said. “But we’ll pitch inside aggressively. That’s a power-laden club over there. We’re going to formulate a really good game plan and try to go out and execute.” The Blue Jays, who start Marco Estrada in the opener, won three straight elimination games against Texas to reach their first AL Championship Series since 1993. The last of those games Wednesday was as tense as they come. After the Rangers took the lead on a fluke play, the Blue Jays stormed back thanks in part to three Texas errors. Donaldson’s blooper tied the game, and Jose Bautista capped the comeback with a long three-run homer, emphatically flipping his bat nearly as high in the air. Bautista’s reaction wasn’t taken well by the Rangers, who essentially called it bush league, and the entire affair touched off a wide-spread debate about decorum. “You look at all professional sports in general, everybody celebrates more so than they used to,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “In our particular sport, if it’s happening for your team, your guy gets a big hit, nobody minds it. If you’re on the other side, nobody likes it.” It’s not just what has gone on this post-season, or even in the regular season, that makes this ALCS matchup so juicy. It’s also the history the two franchises share. They met once before in the ALCS, with the Royals rallying from a 3-1 deficit in the first year of seven-game series. The last two wins came in Toronto, providing the Royals with so much momentum that they went on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals for their only World Series triumph. There was plenty of emotion in that series, too.

Toronto Blue Jays’ Ben Revere waits to bat during baseball practice Thursday, in Kansas City, Mo. The Toronto Blue Jays play the Kansas City Royals in Game 1 of the ALCS today in Kansas City. “I think you just see so much drama at times because it’s the post-season,” Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said. “Obviously, that series in Toronto (earlier this year) was two competitive teams. I think that’s why we’re here right now, because it’s two teams that really take pride in doing things to protect their teammates, to show that the team has a better club.” The two best teams in the American League go about things in different ways. Much like that ‘85 Royals team, this one is built upon pitching and defence — hard-throwing starters and relievers, and enough speed to track down just about anything that stays in their park. That was a big reason why they were able to down the Astros in their divisional series. “A big part of their success is they flag the ball down, because a lot of teams can’t, because the outfield is so big here,” said Gibbons, a former bench coach in Kansas City. “We’re built a little bit differently. I think a lot of it has to do with where we play.” The Blue Jays play in hitter-friendly Rogers Centre, so naturally they’re among the best in baseball at scoring with a single swing. Bautista’s shot against the Rangers was proof, but so were the major league league-leading 232 homers that Toronto hit during the regular season. That’s why the Royals intend to pitch the Blue Jays inside, to mitigate their power. And also why there could be some testy moments when the teams begin their bestof-seven showdown. “We all know Toronto is a better team than Houston. They’ve got more veteran guys and more power hitters,” Volquez said. “We’re going to play our game. We’re going to stay with the plan and do it. Like I said, do our best to win the game.”

The Red Deer Rebels surrendered a pair of power play goals and Landon another on a turnover Ferraro in a 6-2 loss to the visiting Brandon Wheat Kings on Oct. 12 of 2008. Landon Ferraro staked Red Deer to a 2-1 lead with a pair of goals, his second coming at 3:41 of the middle period. But he wasted a golden opportunity to record his first WHL hat trick when he was stopped by Brandon netminder James Priestner on a penalty shot 12 minutes later. “I have to score that goal or at least come a lot closer,” Ferraro said following the contest. “I take responsibility for taking the wind out of our team right there. If I get that goal the score is tied and I think we’re set for the rest of the game.”

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR From the Oklahoma City Blazers to the Bakersfield Condors to the Bentley Generals; it’s been a road-map year for Graeme Craig. Craig, a five-year WHL defenceman who skated with the Swift Current Broncos, Saskatoon Blades and Prince Albert Raiders, signed with the Edmonton Oilers in 2014 and last winter played in the AHL with the Blazers and in the ECHL with the Condors. But then it was decision time for the 22-year-old, and he settled on pursuing a post-secondary education at the University of Alberta, where next fall he will join the Golden Bears after red-shirting this season. Craig will take advantage of the WHL scholarship program with the notion of playing three to four years of university hockey and perhaps taking another shot at the professional game upon graduation. “There’s a lot of guys from this program who graduate and then move on to pro hockey,” said Craig, who is originally from Red Deer. “The thought is I can always go back and play (at the pro level) after I get my degree. I’ve got a bit of (pro) experience too, so that will help the resume.” Ineligible to play with the Bears this season, Craig, who is enrolled in native studies at the U of A and plans to eventually move into the business program, was only too happy to join the senior AAA Bentley Generals for the 2015-16 season. “I figured that playing some kind of games would be better than not playing at all this year,” he said. Craig suited up with the Gens in exhibition games versus the RDC Kings and SAIT Trojans and two weeks ago played in the Innisfail Eagles preseason tournament, which concluded with a rugged, hard-hitting 2-1 shootout win for Bentley over the host Eagles. While the level of play at the senior AAA level doesn’t match that of the pro game, especially the AHL, Craig has been impressed with the pace and competitive nature. “I’m kind of surprised at

Red Der native Graeme Craig has seen his career go from the WHL to minor pro hockey to the Bentley Generals over the last year. Craig will suit up for the Generals this year while he sits out his red-shirt season with the University of Alberta. the quality of play,” he said. “There are guys out there who still have a lot of skill. The biggest difference is they have jobs so they can’t work out all the time, so their conditioning is not quite the same. “But other than that, it’s still a pretty good brand of hockey. I was telling some of the guys here (U of A) that the recent game against Innisfail might have been one of the most physical games I’ve ever played in. Guys were finishing every hit.” Craig felt like one of the boys the moment he first laced ‘em up with the Generals.

“It’s a good group of experienced guys,” he said. “I know a couple of them from playing with and against them in my junior days. It’s a tight group of guys and they made me feel welcome the first time I came into the dressing room. “It’s a good situation for me. Because I’m going to school I might not be able to make it down to practice on a regular basis, but that doesn’t seem to bother them.” Craig is just one of many former WHL regulars now competing with the Generals and Eagles.

In fact, the Bentley roster mostly features one-time WHL players, with the list including Curtis Austring, Thomas Heemskerk, Dustin Butler, Brett Thurston, Chance Lund, Greg Gardner, Josh Smith, Kyle Bailey, Brett Robertson, Teegan Moore, Eric Schneider, Dan Gendur, Adam Huxley, Cody Esposito and Kyle Sheen. Eagles players who formerly skated in the WHL include Pete Vandermeer, Tyler Beechy, Justin Cox and Mike Ulrich. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Cougars make deal with Giants to fill injury on blue line BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Prince George Cougars general manager Todd Harkins announced Thursday that the Prince George Cougars have acquired 1996-born defenceman Shaun Dosanjh of Richmond, B.C., from the Vancouver Giants in exchange for 1997-born forward Haydn Hopkins. The six-foot-one, 195-pound Dosanjh was originally drafted by the Vancouver Giants in the third round (65th overall) of the 2011 WHL bantam draft. Last season he suited up in 38 games for Vancouver and scored one goal while adding 25 penalty minutes. In 85 career games — all with Vancouver — he has registered two goals, three assists and 59 penalty minutes. He also appeared in three playoff games for the

TRADES Giants in 2013. Earlier this season Dosanjh appeared in one game with the Spruce Grove Saints of the AJHL and recorded two assists. “We’re happy to add a player of Shaun’s calibre to our back end,” said Prince George Cougars GM Todd Harkins. “He’s got size, competes hard and he’s familiar with the B.C. Division. We feel that his experience will be an asset to our team, especially given the recent injury to Max Martin.” Hopkins, from Victoria, was originally acquired by the Prince George Cougars in a trade with the Saskatoon Blades during the 2014 WHL bantam draft. Last season in 31 games with Prince George, Hopkins scored two goals, five assists and added 31 penalty minutes. He had one assist in two games this season.

This Week in WHL History ● Lorne Henning of the Estevan Bruins scored the opening goal only six seconds into the game on Oct. 16, 1969 as the Bruins eventually won the game 6-5 versus the Calgary Centennials; the goal is tied for the second fastest goal to start a game. ● The Prince George Cougars recorded their first win in history as Steve Dowhy potted four goals in a 10-5 victory over the Portland Winter Hawks on Oct. 17, 1994. ● On Oct. 20, 1978, Ken Federko of the Saskatoon Blades picked up his 44th assist over a 29-game span; the second longest assist streak in WHL history started on Feb. 22 of the previous season. ● Matt Schmermund of the Kamloops Blazers tied a WHL record for the fastest two goals by an individual on Oct. 20, 2006 when he scored twice in a span of five seconds midway through the second period in an 8-5 triumph over the Saskatoon Blades.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 16, 2015 B3

Swier sets pace for Queens in win BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Queens 4 Griffins 2 Emily Swier wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t around to play with the RDC Queens hockey team last season, but then she had a good excuse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she got married. But Swier (nee Lougheed) admitted that she missed being around the game and team too much to stay away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I missed the game and the girls â&#x20AC;Ś I wanted a chance to come back and play with everyone again and have a chance when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still here,â&#x20AC;? said the talented winger, who scored once and added an assist as the Queens opened their Alberta Colleges Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hockey League regular season with a 4-2 win over the Grant MacEwan University Griffins at the Arena Thursday. Swier was married Aug. 29 and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play any hockey until after Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played a bit with the (junior A Central Alberta) Amazons and that kind of got the bug back,â&#x20AC;? she said. When Swier did return to the Queens it was like old-home week as her long-time line mates, not only with the Queens but with the major midget Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ashley Graf and Jade Petrie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were also both in camp. Petrie also returned after taking a year off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played together for years and know exactly where each of us will be. In fact they know where I will be better than I do,â&#x20AC;? she said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun being with them again.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are an outstanding line,â&#x20AC;? said Queens head coach Kelly Coulter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They played very well. Their forecheck turned over the puck and created several scoring chances. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have a line that works so well together.â&#x20AC;? All three members of the line have their scoring opportunities and while Swier and Graf each tallied once Swier feels theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only get better as they progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just getting back into the swing of things and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin to capitalize on more of those chances,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know myself the tough part about coming back was getting into shape and back into the groove. I have to put in a lot of hours, which is different than being away.â&#x20AC;? Swier notched the Queens third goal at 4:01 of the second period redirecting a Petrie pass under GMU netminder Cheyenne Eagle to make the score 3-1. After Kailie Bell made the score 3-2 on the Griffins second power play goal of the game, Graf tucked in a loose puck at the side of the net after Swier just missed on a one-timer. Michelle Pochapsky opened the scoring for the Griffins at 6:18 of the first period with Cassidy Anderson tying it at 10:08 on a spectacular rush, beating both defencemen and tucking it past Eagle. Morgan Fraser scored her first ACAC goal at 3:25 of the second period as she cut past the defence and rifled a perfect shot high to Eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glove side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was happy with what I saw tonight,â&#x20AC;? said Coulter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls executed well. We came out with a lot of jump, we communicated and did a lot of little

Red Deer College Queen Suze Vanderlinde, right, is checked by Grant MacEwan University Griffin Courtney Zajac during first period action at the Arena in Red Deer on Thursday. things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking about.â&#x20AC;? The fact the Queens have a veteran team allowed them to shake off the early Grant MacEwan goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a veteran team they understand there will be ebbs and flows,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a great response on Cassidyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal. There was a great pass to move the puck up on the rush and that was a great finish.â&#x20AC;? The one aspect of the game that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look sharp was the penalty kill and the power play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started working on that much,â&#x20AC;? said Coulter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent more time on breaking out, supporting each other, coming out of the defensive zone and regroups. Special teams are something that will improve as we progress and focus more on

them.â&#x20AC;? Alex Frisk, who red shirted last season, won her first start for the Queens and was sharp in finishing with 22 saves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alex did a very good job, she made some key saves and managed the puck well, which made it easier on our defence,â&#x20AC;? said Coulter. The Queens finished with 32 shots on Eagle and took three of six minor penalties. The Queens visit the Griffins Saturday and return home Thursday against SAIT.

Generals lose top players but add strong pieces for new season BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Another season, another series of personnel turnover. The Bentley Generals head into the Chinook Hockey League season minus the services of arguably their best two players from the past campaign. But as the Gens bid adieu to forward Cam Maclise, who is attending Mount Royal University as a member of the Cougars, and defenceman Giffen Nyren, who has resumed his pro career in the ECHL, they welcome a handful of new faces including several with pro experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to miss Nyren and Maclise, but I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to like what we have,â&#x20AC;? said Generals manager Jeff McInnis, whose club opens regular season play Sunday versus the host Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs. Included among the newcomers are six-foot-three defenceman Colton Hayes and six-two rearguard Tyler Brenner, both of whom played in the ECHL last winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking to Colton for a couple of years,â&#x20AC;? said McInnis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His fiancee is working in Calgary so he shut his pro dream down a little earlier than heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d planned because of his ties at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a young man at 25 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blessed to have him. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a big part of our blueline this season.â&#x20AC;? Brenner, an Ontario native, signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs following three years of U.S. college hockey. He played 29 games with the AHL Toronto

Marlies and was in the ECHL the past two seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big, right-handed kid who will also help our offence,â&#x20AC;? said McInnis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy having him around.â&#x20AC;? Red Deer native Graeme Craig is another big signing, in more than one way. The six-foot-five defenceman and Red Deer minor hockey product is red-shirting with the U of Alberta Golden Bears this season and adds size and major junior and pro experience to the Bentley blueline. Craig played five seasons in the WHL with Swift Current, Saskatoon and Prince Albert and signed with the Edmonton Oilers in 2013. He played six games in the AHL and was with the ECHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakersfield Condors most of last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was chasing his pro dream, but felt like he got as far as he was going to go,â&#x20AC;? said McInnis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smart kid and he realized heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better use his (WHL) scholarship money and get to school. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to have him for this season.â&#x20AC;? The Generals were the beneficiaries of the Okotoks Drillers demise after two years in the Chinook League, with forwards Jesse Todd and Mike Kneeland switching uniforms. Todd was third in league scoring last season with 23 goals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a league best â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 36 points in 24 games, while Kneeland finished fifth with 35 points (10-25). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to Jesse a couple of years ago after he had played in the ECHL,â&#x20AC;? said Maclise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me at the time that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be playing in Okotoks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Okotoks folded this year I con-

tacted him again and he was quick to come. It was a pretty easy transition. Both he and Kneeland are quality players.â&#x20AC;? Thomas Heemskerk has come on board this season to give the Gens a solid one-two punch between the pipes. He joins returnee Dustin Butler. Heemskerk blocked pucks in the WHL with Kootenay and Moose Jaw, turning a terrific season as a 20-year-old into a contract with the San Jose Sharks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was up and down in their organization, then had a bit of a hip issue last year and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play,â&#x20AC;? said MacInnis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He missed the game and welcomed the opportunity to come here. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working and living in this area and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big piece of our team.â&#x20AC;? Also new to the Generals are forwards Greg Gardner, who was in the ECHL last winter, and Jordan Peddle, a four-year WHL defenceman who attended the University of Saskatchewan for one year and last season was in the Southern Pro League. The Generals thought they had lost forward Torrie Dyck, who last season scored 10 goals and added 10 assists in 20 games, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agreed to commute from his home in Saskatoon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken a new job â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to play weekend games with his old club. In addition to the new players, the Bentley roster also features the likes of key returning veterans Don Morrison, Curtis Austring, Kyle Sheen, Kyle Bailey and Brett Thurston. The Generalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home-opener is Oct. 24 against the Chiefs. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Brees marches Saints to win over Falcons NFL BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Saints 31 Falcons 21 NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Proud veterans Drew Brees and Ben Watson summoned their best performances of the season and restored a bit of swagger to the recently reeling Saints. Brees passed for 312 yards, Watson racked up a career-high 127 yards receiving to go with a fourthdown touchdown catch, and New Orleans handed the Atlanta Falcons their first loss of the season with a 31-21 win on Thursday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, Ben Watson had a huge night,â&#x20AC;? Brees said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either his number was called or he was just getting open. He was getting some opportunities and, man, he made the most of it.â&#x20AC;? Desperate for a victory, the Saints (2-4) enjoyed big plays in all phases, a common occurrence when New Orleans hosts night games. Including the playoffs, the Saints have now won 19 of 21 games in the Superdome in prime time. Michael Mauti, who grew up near New Orleans after his father, Rich, played for the Saints, blocked a punt and recovered it for a touchdown, delighting the Superdome crowd with a play reminiscent of Steve Gleasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous block against Atlanta in 2006.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 16, 2015 B5

Mets dispatch Dodgers, move on to ALCS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Mets 3 Dodgers 2 LOS ANGELES — Daniel Murphy just hoped no one was watching. Murphy shocked the sleeping Dodgers by stealing an uncovered third base and went on to score the tying run. Two innings later, Murphy hit a go-ahead homer off Zack Greinke that led the New York Mets over Los Angeles 3-2 Thursday night and into an NL Championship Series matchup with the Chicago Cubs. After getting past ace pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Greinke, the Mets will try to reach the World Series for the first time since 2000. “Something doesn’t go right and we bounce back,” said the Mets’ Terry Collins, managing in the post-season for the first time at age 66. “We’ve done it all year long. Tremendous heart.” New York and pitcher Jacob deGrom trailed 2-1 in the fourth inning of the decisive Game 5 of their NL Division Series when the Dodgers shifted three infielders to the right side and left no one near third with left-handed hitting Lucas Duda at the plate. When Duda walked on a 3-1 pitch, Murphy jogged to second and suddenly sprinted to third. Rookie shortstop Corey Seager, the closest infielder, was almost all the way toward second. “You’ve got to give a peek and hope that nobody calls timeout, because then I go sprinting to third base and somebody calls timeout, I look like a buffoon,” Murphy said. No worries. He made it without a throw and scored on Travis d’Arnaud’s sacrifice fly. “An incredible play and a game-changer for us,” Mets captain

David Wright said. Murphy had just two steals during the regular season. “I’m not fleet afoot,” he said, “but I was just fast enough to be able to get in there and make it.” Murphy’s opposite-field RBI double in the first drove in the game’s first run. Murphy homered in the sixth for a 3-2 lead, driving a 93 mph pitch about a dozen rows into the right-field seats. Murphy, who had three hits, batted .333 in the series and homered three times off Greinke and Kershaw. He can be a free agent after the season ends. “Daniel was a tough out all series,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “He’s always to me been a guy that’s been a tough out, pretty much hits everybody’s fastball.” DeGrom (2-0), the 2014 NL Rookie of the Year with the long, shaggy hair, struck out seven and walked three to earn his second road win of the series. He allowed four straight singles in the first, when Justin Turner and Andre Ethier drove in runs for a 2-1 lead. Fellow starter Noah Syndergaard started warming up as early as the second inning, and deGrom pitched his only 1-2-3 inning in the sixth. “I think I was a little amped up, and I just tried to make my pitches,” deGrom said. Syndergaard threw a hitless seventh in the rookie’s first big league relief appearance, and Jeurys Familia was perfect in the first six-out save of his big career. Familia retired pinch-hitter Chase Utley — who earned the Mets’ wrath after his takeout slide broke shortstop Ruben Tejada’s leg in Game 2 — on a flyout leading off the ninth. After Familia struck out Howie Kendrick to end the game, the Mets swarmed the mound, jumping up and

They quickly donned black T-shirts and exchanged hugs and high-fives while a small group of orange and blue-clad fans shouted, “Let’s go Mets!,” the only noise in a stadium that emptied quickly. “What a team win,” Murphy said. “It felt like everybody got a piece of this.” Greinke (1-1) gave up three runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings. The righthander, who led the majors with a 1.66 ERA, struck out nine and walked one. He could opt out after the season ends and as a free agent would likely command even bigger bucks than the guaranteed $71 million left on his contract.

“I was pitching good, I was feeling confident,” Greinke said. “I decided to challenge him. Looking back at it, it was the wrong decision.” New York quickly will turn its attention to the Cubs. The NLCS, which starts Saturday night at Citi Field, is the first post-season meeting between the teams. Matt Harvey will start Game 1 for the Mets against Jon Lester. Playing on the 27th anniversary of Kirk Gibson’s World Series home run, Los Angeles failed to come up with a big drive, going 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position after Ethier’s first-inning single.

Lester to start for Cubs as they get ready for ALCS opener BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs will send Jon Lester to the mound for Game 1 of the NL Championship Series on Saturday night, and Javier Baez will start at shortstop after Addison Russell was shelved by a left hamstring injury. Russell got hurt while legging out a triple in Game 3 of the NL Division Series against the Cardinals. He said he felt the hamstring grab while he was rounding second, and manager Joe Maddon said the rookie had a moderate strain. “Addy right now will not participate in this next round,” Maddon said Thursday. “We’re not going to utilize him. Continue to work on him. Hope-

fully if everything plays properly and we have another opportunity to play in another round he might be available at that time, but for sure not this one.” Maddon said they haven’t made a decision on Russell’s replacement for the NLCS roster against the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Mets, which must be submitted by Saturday morning. Reliever Jason Motte, who has been out with a right shoulder strain, is a possibility for this round, and Maddon said he likely will use four starters in the best-of-seven series. The Cubs worked out for about two hours Thursday, with their young sluggers putting on another show during batting practice. But there was nothing like the drive Kyle Schwarber hit during the final game against St. Louis, a massive solo shot that settled on top

of the scoreboard in right field. The team authenticated the ball, and then placed a case over it. The plan is to leave the ball there for at least the rest of the playoffs. “It’s pretty cool that it’ll stay out there throughout this post-season,” Schwarber said. “Just a good honour. You know, it’s, I just look at it as another home run.” Baez, another one of those promising young hitters, replaced Russell in the NLDS, and hit a three-run homer in Chicago’s series-ending 6-4 victory in Game 4. The 22-year-old slugger has big-time power, but he has struck out a lot during his brief time in the majors. “Addison has played enough here this year to know that he belongs here and he can do this. I want to believe that Javy is arriving at that same

point,” Maddon said. “I think to hit a three-run homer in a playoff game like that against one of the best pitchers in the National League should boost your confidence.” After Lester pitches in the opener, Jake Arrieta will go in Game 2 on Sunday night. Lester is 6-5 with a 2.66 ERA in 15 career post-season games, including 13 starts. Arrieta threw a five-hit shutout in the wild-card game at Pittsburgh but had his worst start in months when he allowed four runs in 5 2-3 innings in Game 3 against the Cardinals. Lester hasn’t pitched since the NLDS opener last Friday. “It’s been a while since Jon’s been out there, so it’s good for him to get out there Game 1,” Arrieta said, “and I’ll be ready for Game 2.”

Steele has sizzling start to PGA season BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NAPA, Calif. — Brendan Steele had an ideal start to the new PGA Tour season at the Frys.com Open with a round that featured nine birdies, no stress and a simple explanation. “As weird as it is to say, it was kind of a basic 63,” he said. It gave him a one-shot lead over Jhonattan Vegas in ideal scoring conditions at Silverado, which has such subtle movement in the greens that the course doesn’t always yield low scores even when players have a short iron into the putting surface. Twenty-eight players shot 68 or better, and one-third of the field was in the 60s. That included Rory McIlroy, who is between two seasons. The world’s No. 3 player had numerous birdie chances and didn’t convert nearly as many as he would have liked. What pleased McIlroy was the quality of his game from tee-to-green, far crisper than it was at the Tour Championship three weeks ago. “Definitely a step in the right direction today,” McIlroy said after a 68. Vegas, who won as a rookie in 2011 at the Humana Challenge, lost his card this year and failed to get it back at the Web.com Tour Finals two weeks ago. He is relying on his limited status as a past champion and sponsor exemptions, so it was important to make the most out of his exemption this week. Harold Varner III, who joins Tiger Woods as the only players of black heritage on the PGA Tour this year, made a strong rookie debut with a 65. Martin Laird had the best score of the afternoon to join Varner at 65. The group at 66 included Justin Thomas, with Justin

Brendan Steele hits from the fourth tee of the Silverado Resort North Course during the first round of the Frys.com PGA Tour golf tournament Thursday, in Napa, Calif. Steele shot a 9-under-par 63. Rose among those at 67. Steele posted a target early with a 29 on the back nine, including five straight birdies before making the turn. At one point, he rolled in putts of 25 feet, 20 feet and 18. That prompted this observation from Steve Wheatcroft. “Just hang in there,” he said Wheatcroft told him. “It’s a long season. You’ll make one eventually.” Sang-moon Bae, unable to defend

because of his mandatory military service in South Korea, won last year at Silverado at 15-under par. No one had better than 65 the entire tournament last year, which made Steele’s round stand out even more. Steele wasn’t surprised. This is the third straight year of a wraparound season that starts in October with a two-week break after the old season ended. Steele had some good results toward the end of last sea-

son, took a short break, started practicing and liked how his game felt. “In the pro-am yesterday I was like, ‘We need to get this tournament going.’ I hate it when I’m home and I feel really good,” he said. “It’s hard to keep it. I always say that your game is either coming or going, right? So when it’s coming, you want to be in the right place.” McIlroy is coming and going as it relates to seasons. While this is the season opener on the PGA Tour, he leaves after this week for three tournaments in Asia to finish off his European Tour schedule with hopes of winning another Race to Dubai title. This is only his fifth tournament dating to the PGA Championship, when he returned from a two-month hiatus to heal his injured ankle. His game looked good, but he struggled to match the speed with the line for a number of birdie chances from about 12 feet or in. “Gave myself a lot of chances,” McIlroy said. “I converted a few, but I’ll need to hole a few more. I feel like this is a golf course that you can give yourself a lot of chances. If I can keep hitting the ball the way I am and just hole a few more, I’ll be OK.” Varner made a flashy finish to get near the top of the leaderboard. He holed an 18-foot eagle putt on No. 16, stuffed a sand wedge into 2 feet for birdie on the 17th and had to settle for a birdie on the par-5 18th when he narrowly missed another eagle chance. Varner earned his card through the Web.com Tour, and he already noticed one big difference. While a tournament in wine country doesn’t attract a massive crowd, it was still far more than he was used to seeing.

Challenge system draws strong first impression from coaches and goalies BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NHL

TORONTO — Throughout Jonathan Bernier’s career, referees have skated to him and apologized for missing a goaltender interference call in a previous game. He gets it. “That’s just part of hockey,” the Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender said. “It’s such a fast game, and they can’t be in great position all the time.” In the first game under the NHL’s new coach’s challenge system for goaltender interference and offside situations, Montreal Canadiens forward Tomas Plekanec interfered with Bernier. Some quick work from Leafs assistant Andrew Brewer led to coach Mike Babcock initiating the first challenge and Jeff Petry’s goal being overturned. “Babs looks like a star and he didn’t do a damn thing,” St. Louis Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said the morning after. “He just stood on the bench and looked bewildered — typical Babs.” The Blues weren’t as fortunate when they tried a few days later. Teams are 2 for 5 on coach’s challenges through the first week under the new system — 2 for 4 on goalie interference and 0 for 1 on offside plays. The first impression of challenges, valid only on goals scored with potential goaltender interference or offside plays, is that it’ll take plenty of goals off the board and that coaches will be aggressive in using them. “If we think there’s even a 50 per cent chance, we’re going to take the risk,” Hitchcock said. “If there’s a chance that it can turn in our favour, we’re taking the chance and damn the timeout because it’s the most overrated thing.” The Leafs and San Jose Sharks, who negated a goal by the Capitals’ Dmitry Orlov on Tuesday night in Washington, have been successful so far in getting goals overturned. Babcock credited Brewer for the move, while San Jose’s Peter DeBoer pointed to “eye in the sky” assistant Johan Hedberg and video coach Dan Darrow. “I’m just the puppet calling the timeout and telling them what we’re challenging,” DeBoer told reporters in Washington. For Babcock, it’s not so much being a puppet as delegating. He said Brewer, who worked with him with Team Canada at the Sochi Olympics and with the Detroit Red Wings, did plenty of preparation along with video analyst Adam Jancelewicz and

hockey operations director Bradley Holland over the summer for these situations. “Ideally if it can help us, let’s do it,” Babcock said. It can definitely help the goalies. Bernier and fellow Leafs goalie James Reimer said a handful of goals against might not count thanks to coach’s challenges. “I think they would be the first ones to tell you it’s great for the referees, too,” Bernier said. “We all make mistakes, and obviously that can change momentum of the games.” It changed momentum of the Sharks-Capitals game, even though some players complained that there wasn’t sufficient contact between Jay Beagle and goaltender Martin Jones to take the goal away. Beagle appeared to brush Jones as the puck was going by, and referee Tim Peel said the goalie wasn’t able to do his job. “Any incidental contact, call it. That’s the standard that seems to be set now,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz told reporters. “I don’t have to agree with it, but if that’s the standard, then you’re going to get a lot of challenges from the coaches around the league.” Rederees determining a standard for these subjective calls is crucial to how effective coach’s challenges will be. Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby

said he considers getting bumped part of the game, but perhaps the slightest contact will lead to goals being wiped out. “It’s not even a game of inches, it’s a game of millimetres,” Reimer said. “You get bumped on the skate lightly and he knocks you off balance for a half-second and the puck goes in.” Reimer said he can tell from another goalie’s body language if he gets interfered with. Goalies probably don’t have to skate over to the bench to tell coaches to challenge. “I think they want to see my reaction if I get pushed in or if I get interfered (with),” Bernier said. “It happens so quick for them to see if they want to review the video or not, so you’ve got to show them something so they can actually go upstairs and see if there’s anything.” For the Sharks, that’s Darrow and Hedberg checking in with assistant Steve Spott on the bench and making the decision. Other teams will likely use similar communications systems to figure out when to challenge goals. As for timeouts, Hitchcock said some coaches are going to save them or use them on icing plays to give players a rest. Babcock said he’ll never save it just in case he needs it to challenge. “I’m going to use my timeout whenever we need it,” Babcock said. “That could be in the first period. What I’ve found: Over time, if you save things and you don’t use them, you look back and you wonder why.”

Glenn getting ready quickly for Alouettes BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Receiver Nik Lewis is delighted to be reunited with veteran quarterback Kevin Glenn. The two were teammates in 2012 and 2013 with the Calgary Stampeders and got back together when the Montreal Alouettes acquired Glenn in a trade this week. “He was my favourite quarterback that I’ve played with,” Lewis, who joined Montreal this season, said Thursday. “I just love his attitude and the way he approaches the game. “Being able to take the field with him in Calgary those two years was great. We put up some big numbers together. So I’m just looking forward to everyone working together and see what we can do.” Glenn, acquired from Saskatchewan for a fifth round draft pick, practised with his new teammates for the first time. Coach and general manager Jim Popp hopes to have him ready to start a home game Sunday against Hamilton. “We’ll do everything we can to get him on the field,” said Popp. “He feels comfortable and the meetings have gone great. “He spent a lot of time (Wednesday) after he arrived, to about eight o’clock at night. Then he was back at 6:30 this morning to get back at it. He feels he

in a 25-17 loss to Toronto on Monday. They had already lost starter Jonathan Crompton to a second injury this season, and didn’t feel Anthony Boone,

Tanner Marsh or Brandon Bridge were ready to step in. Montreal (5-9) needs to start winning games to challenge for a playoff spot with four games left in the regular season. “Nothing worries me,” said Glenn, in his 15th CFL season. “It’s just learning, like going to school. “Today was a good day. We did some good things.” As for Lewis calling him his favourite quarterback, Glenn laughed and said: “He’s silly. And because he’ll get mad if I don’t say it, yes he is my favourite receiver.” It should help that he has a veteran receiving corps with Lewis, S.J. Green, Fred Stamps and Samuel Giguere. “It can only help us,” Green said of Glenn’s arrival. “We’ve been young at that position pretty much all year. “Not to take anything from the guys who have played quarterback this year, but you can’t replace experience. That’s something Kevin has a lot of.” The Alouettes, who have beaten Hamilton in both of their meetings this season, may also have cornerback Mitchell White and defensive end Aaron Lavarius back from injuries this week.

Redblacks close to ending Ottawa’s CFL playoff drought BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘WE KNOW THERE’S GREAT OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SEIZE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. THE KEY TO IT IS TO FOCUS ON HOW TO GET IT DONE WHICH IS LINING UP AND PLAYING GOOD FOOTBALL FOR 60 MINUTES AND THE RESULTS COME WITH THAT.’

OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks have one mindset as they prepare for their game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers — win and we’re in. An Ottawa CFL team hasn’t qualified for the post-season since 1994, when the Rough Riders lost 26-16 to the Blue Bombers in the East semifinal. That could change Friday when erybody’s doing what they have to do the Redblacks (8-6) host Winnipeg (5- then the job will get done.” 10), with a win clinching a playoff spot Players say they’re aware of what for Ottawa. “You’re aware of where you are and what your goal is, but you’re trying to win every single game anyway,” said Redblacks receiver Brad Sinopoli. “All that stuff, however it falls is just the way it goes. At this point we’re just focused on winning.” This is the first of backto-back meetings between the two teams. For the first time in nearly a month, the Redblacks will be the better rested team. The Bombers last played five days ago, while Ottawa has had nine days off after a stretch of three home games in 11 days. “It felt different that’s for sure,” said Ottawa defensive back Antoine Pruneau. “After a couple days of practice it seemed like the game was still so far away, but the good thing is we got some rest and guys had a chance to heal some injuries. “But trust me we are excited to play again.” Redblacks coach Rick Campbell has kept his message simple this week. “We know there’s great MSRP $9,099 opportunities ahead and we want to make sure we seize those opportuni* $ , ties,” said Campbell. “The key to it is to focus on how to get it done which is lining up and playing good football for 60 minutes and the results come with that.” Last week the Blue Bombers defence gave up over 300 yards and three touchdowns. The Redblacks also struggled defensively in its last outing giving up five touchdowns, including the game winner in the final minute of play as Toronto defeated Ottawa 38-35. “We know we need to be better,” said Pruneau. “Winnipeg was dangerous on special teams last week and we’re going to need to be aware. If we stick to our assignments we’ll be fine.” The Redblacks will be without running back Jeremiah Johnson, the CFL’s touchdown leader, who suffered a season-ending foot injury against Toronto last week, but the Redblacks have full confidence in backup William Powell. Powell had only been on the active roster for three games, most of that as a kickoff returner, but after taking over from Johnson in the last game Powell had 105 yards from scrimmage and looked comfortable with the added responsibilities. “We just want to play the best we can,” said Honda Powersports Canada @HondaPowerCA Powell. “It’s just about knowing your assignments, knowing your job and not trying to do too much and do what you have to do. If ev-

Curlers swear off new broom technology BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — An unprecedented leap in sweeping technology threatens to dramatically change the sport of curling. While they wait for their sport’s governing bodies to catch up and impose new rules, some of the world’s top curling teams say they won’t use broomheads that can actually slow down, and change the direction of, a rock in motion. It’s an awkward position to take for the teams who are sponsored by the very equipment manufacturers who produce the controversial brushes. But Olympic gold medallists Brad Jacobs and Brad Gushue and former world champion Glenn Howard are among 22 domestic and international teams who signed a statement stating they will not sweep with brooms that have “directional fabric.” “Where do you draw the line?” Jacobs asked. “We’ve decided as a group of players to draw the line right now. It’s about the integrity of the game and the hard work of teams.” When a new gadget fundamentally alters a sport, the powers that be often step in and declare it illegal in competition. Curling’s top teams aren’t waiting for the World Curling Federation or Curling Canada and are policing themselves. They hope other teams follow suit. The curler throwing the rock aims for the skip’s broom with the knowledge the stone will curl as it approaches the house. Powerful sweepers can “hold” the stone and delay its curl or “drag” it extra distance into the house, but throwing accuracy and the skip’s line calling are still paramount in the game. New brushes hitting the market recently changed all that. “It’s a type of fabric that allows you to virtually steer the rock,” Howard said. “I use the phrase ‘joystick’. I can now joystick right, left, forward, back. “Up until 18 months ago, it was 80 per cent shooter, 20 per cent sweeping and now in the last year and a half, it’s become 20 per cent shooting and 80 per cent sweeping. It’s just not acceptable. “The problem is there’s

no rule against it right now. It’s not as if you’re cheating. It just doesn’t seem right.” Coarse material on the broomheads creates a sandpaper effect on the ice. Jacobs describes it as “flattening” while others have described it as “scoring” or “scratching” the ice. The bottom line is sweepers use the brush’s impact on the ice to manipulate the rock in ways they never could before. As in any sport, if others are doing it and winning, you will do it too. “When you see it, there’s no second-guessing that something fairly dramatic or fairly extreme is occurring that in the right hands can cause a rock to curl much more than it would have normally, or to curl much less than it would have normally,” explained Curling Canada’s high-performance director Gerry Peckham. “It’s like having a rock with a steering wheel on it and you can pretty much get it to go where you want to or influence it substantially.” Curling equipment companies have been pushing the envelope on directional fabric. It came to a head this past week at the StuSells Toronto Tankard. “It’s not something I believed or my team believed until we saw it,” Jacobs said. “It’s quite incredible what has happened here. It’s negating the purpose of having two sweepers on any kind of shot.” Gushue’s team began using brooms with directional fabric this season “because we had an absolutely horrible record against teams using this equipment last year and we felt we were at a competitive disadvantage,” he said. Teams using the latest version of the broomhead caused the ice to deteriorate in Toronto and ruined subsequent shots, the skip said.

Northern Ontario skip Brad Jacobs, centre, delivers a rock against Team Canada during gold medal game curling action at the Brier in Calgary on March 8, 2015. Jacobs and other top curlers are not waiting for a decision on ‘directional fabric’ curling brooms, they have signed a statement saying they won’t use them. “It’s really become … a pissing match between the companies to see who can come out with a sharper broom or one that has more impact. Where do we stop?” Gushue said. “We need to draw a line in the sand and at least give the equipment companies an idea of the ballpark they’re playing in. Right now they have an open canvas. They can make whatever they want.” There have been several broom technology advances since curlers put down straw and cloth brooms and picked up brushes 40 years ago, but none this dramatic, Peckham said.

He said Curling Canada, in conjunction with the WCF, will address the broom issue even if it means calling a moratorium on directional fabric until further study. “Because the players have taken a position and made a statement, it will be much easier for associations to support the player movements,” Peckham said. “We will work with the World Curling Federation because there is some urgency here for all of us. There are events beginning to take place now that ultimately lead to a world championship.”

SHANGHAI — Novak Djokovic has been winning with relative ease over the past week and a half in China and yet he still doesn’t think his game is perfect. His opponents might like to disagree. Djokovic defeated 15th-seeded Feliciano Lopez 6-2, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters on Thursday, extending his winning streak to 14 straight matches dating back to his title run at the U.S. Open. He’s also captured 16 straight sets, and hasn’t surrendered more than five games in a single match since the start of the China Open last week. “He’s already the toughest player to play right now in the game,” Lopez said. “No doubt about that. It’s something very obvious.” On a day when 14 of the world’s top 17 players were playing, Andy Murray saved all seven break points he faced and held on to beat big-serving John Isner 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4 Rafael Nadal defeated Canada’s Milos Raonic 6-3, 7-6 (3) and Stan Wawrinka topped Marin Cilic 7-5, 6-7 (7), 6-4. Sixth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan, meanwhile, was upset by South Africa’s Kevin Anderson 7-6 (10), 7-6 (3). Lopez, who lost to Djokovic in the quarterfinals of last month’s U.S. Open, tried to disrupt the Serbian star’s rhythm by serving and volleying and using a variety of drop shots, sliced backhands and sharp angles. Djokovic, however, played a superb defensive game and continually scrambled after Lopez’s shots for winners.

Donald receives Alberta’s highest honour BY ADVOCATE STAFF

ORDER OF EXCELLENCE

Jack Donald, a well-known Red Deer businessman, philanthropist and community builder has received the province’s highest honour, the Alberta Order of Excellence. He was among a group of only eight Albertans to be invested this week. There are now only 149 members. Lieutenant Governor Lois Mitchell presented the awards, which she said is about celebrating amazing people, and part of Alberta’s heritage. The award is based on an individual’s outstanding contributions to Alberta, at a provincial, national or international level. An extensive profile on Donald and his family was done for the Order of Excellence. He and his wife Joan started their first venture into the service station business in 1957, in Edmonton, while Jack was working towards his journeyman mechanic’s ticket from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). They moved to Red Deer with their children, Kathy and John, in 1964 where they started Parkland Oil Products Ltd. that year and then sold the company, with 38 service station outlets, to Turbo Resources in 1971. The couple later bought control of Parkland Beef Industries Ltd., a publicly traded company, which became Parkland Industries Ltd., which is headquartered in Red Deer. By the time Donald retired as President and CEO, in 2002, the company had its own refinery and 454 retail service stations in Western and Northern Canada. Today’s Parkland Fuel Corporation is Canada’s largest independent fuel marketer and distributor. While running the fuel distribution

In 1983, Donald was director, then chair, of the Alberta Opportunity Company that funded small businesses across the province. Between 1995 and 2000, he chaired and co-chaired three provincial tax review commissions to review and improve Alberta’s competitiveness and reduce Albertans’ taxation. He also served for more than 26 years as one of the founding directors and chairman of the Bank of Alberta which became Canadian Western Bank. In 2011, he was inducted into the Southern Alberta Business Hall of Fame and was named Red Deer’s Citizen of the Year in 2002. Joan and daughter Kathy have also received Red Deer’s Citizen of the Year awards. As well, Jack and Joan were presented with the G.H. Dawe Memorial Award for their contributions to education. Jack received the first annual Pinnacle Award (Business Excellence) in 1987 and the Canada Award for Business Excellence from the Government of Canada in 1989. He was inducted into the Canadian Petroleum Hall of Fame in 2002. In 2005, Jack and Joan received the Philanthropic Family – Generosity of Spirit Award from the Calgary chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. In 2012, SAIT presented Jack with an Honorary Bachelor of Business Administration Degree. “I think that almost anyone, if they want to apply themselves, can be an entrepreneur,” Donald is quoted in the AOE profile. “It’s not something you’re born with.” His advice to young people is “Be honest with yourself, with others. Be proud of what you do, and do your best.”

Red Deer’s Jack Donald received the Alberta Order of Excellence earlier this week, one of eight this year to receive the province’s highest honour. company, Donald also operated Parkland Properties Ltd., an investment and real estate business established in 1968. In addition, he was co-founder of Park Country Broadcasting (KG Country) in Red Deer. He was also a Partner and Vice-President of Brandt Industries Ltd. of Regina. He has continued to serve as a director on boards of petroleum and agriculture equipment companies. Donald became very involved in the community and in the 1970s he served two terms on city council. Later he served for three years on the Board of Governors for Red Deer College and over the years the Don-

alds, and the companies they led, have been major donors to the college. The Donalds’ gift in 2006 was the largest single donation in the college’s history. The Donald’s generosity led to the creation of the Donald School of Business. Donald joined the Westerner Exhibition board in 1979 and led relocation of the exhibition grounds and the construction of both the Parkland Pavilion and the 7,000-seat Centrium Arena. The Donalds’ generosity also helped to build Westerner Park’s Donald Administration Building. They co-chaired the very successful 2005 Central Alberta fundraising campaign for STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society).

BRIEFS

Parents going to trial over drug lab charge Parents charged with running a drug lab in their home are going to trial. Charges stem from a drug raid by Red Deer RCMP in November 2014 at a home in Lancaster. The names of the parents are being withheld to protect the identities of their two children. Both parents were charged with two counts each of child endangerment and possessing illegal drugs for trafficking, and one count each of simple possession of illegal drugs and possessing the proceeds of crime. One parent is also charged with possessing a firearm without a valid licence. A preliminary hearing was held on Tuesday in Red Deer provincial court for one of the parents to determine if there was enough evidence to warrant a trial in Court of Queen’s Bench. At the conclusion of the hearing, the parent was ordered to stand trial. A trial date has not yet been set. The other parent waived the preliminary hearing and returns to court on Nov. 2 to set a trial date.

RDPSD takes new LGBTQ+ policy to public The general public will have a say in the Red Deer Public School District’s proposed Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity policy. The Board of Trustees unanimously approved the policy on Wednesday at its regular board meeting. The policy supports an environment where all members of the school community work and learn, free from fear, discrimination, and harassment. It also promotes pro-active strategies and guidelines to ensure that sexual or gender minority students, employees and families are welcomed and included in all aspects of education and school life, and are treated with respect and dignity. The proposed policy is now being referred to principals, school staff and councils, a co-ordinating committee and the general community for further input. After this it will be returned to the

Elliott pleads guilty to dozens of charges A Red Deer man who was wanted by police on 33 warrants pleaded guilty to numerous property, fraud and drug charges on Thursday. Brian Keith Elliott, 28, pleaded guilty in Red Deer provincial court to about two dozen charges, including fraud, possession of stolen property, drug possession, missed court dates and numerous counts of failing to comply with various court orders. He will be sentenced at a later date after a pre-sentence report is prepared by a probation officer. Elliott was arrested on Aug. 28 in a stolen truck in Red Deer about 6:30 a.m. near Gaetz Avenue and 28th Street. The vehicle had been reported stolen two days earlier from the West

Park neighbourhood.

Red Deer RCMP capture wanted man A dangerous wanted man was arrested without incident by Red Deer RCMP on Tuesday. RCMP responded to a sighting of Andrew Snow, 29. He was arrested while travelling as a passenger in a vehicle. Last month, Sylvan Lake RCMP were looking for Snow who may have had information related to shootings in Sylvan Lake and Eckville on Sept. 17. Snow was considered dangerous and was not to be approached. Snow was also wanted on warrants in relation to weapons related offences, theft, possession of heroin and fail to comply to a court order.

An 18-year-old who robbed a Red Deer convenience store armed with a machete was sentenced to 3 ½ years in prison on Thursday. Erin Bull and a 17-year-old accomplice robbed the Express 24 on Erickson Drive last April 27. The terrifying attack was caught on the store’s surveillance video camera Early in the four- to five- minute video, shown in court in August, Bull, of Red Deer, appears to slam what was described as both a machete and a saw against the top of the cash register as the robbers demanded cash around 4:40 a.m. Moments later the other robber, a youth who can’t be named, sprayed the store clerk in the face with bear spray. The two robbers pushed the clerk and demanded he open his till, but he was blinded and couldn’t see the buttons, infuriating the robbers. The clerk eventually managed to open a till while holding his eyelids open with a hand so he could see. Bull pleaded guilty in June to armed robbery, masking his face while committing an offence and possession of bear spray for a dangerous purpose. Provincial court Judge Gordon Yake said in sentencing that Bull had been in trouble with the law before. He was previously convicted of assault causing bodily harm and aggravated assault. The convenience store robbery had a “real potential for disaster,” said the judge. Defence lawyer Michael Scrase asked for a sentence of a little under three years. His client was raised in an atmosphere of addiction and violence and was in and out of foster homes as a child. He has shown remorse for his crimes and his girlfriend is expecting a child, the court was told. The judge gave Bull credit for 258 days in prison based on a 1.5-per day credit. He must also provide a DNA sample to a national database and will be prohibited from owning any firearms for 10 years upon release.

Leaders try to bridge the abyss ISRAELI PM NETANYAHU SAYS HE’S ‘PERFECTLY OPEN’ TO MEETING WITH PALESTINIAN LEADER ABBAS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said he would be “perfectly open” to meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in order to end weeks of Israeli-Palestinian unrest. The Palestinian president has ignited an uproar in Israel after falsely claiming that Israel had “executed” a 13-year-old Palestinian boy who is recovering in an Israeli hospital, drawing new accusations that he is inciting violence at a time of heightened tensions. Netanyahu told reporters he has been speaking to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and other leaders about meeting with Abbas. “I’d be perfectly open to it now,” he said. “I think it’s potentially useful because it might stop the wave of incitement and false allegations against Israel,” he said. “I’d be open to meeting with Arab leaders and the Palestinian leadership in order to stop this incitement and set the record straight.” The Palestinian boy, who was run over by an Israeli vehicle after involvement in the stabbing of an Israeli boy, has become the centre of heated, high-level name-calling between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders — reflecting the abyss between them after a monthlong spike in deadly violence. Abbas said in a televised speech late Wednesday that Israel is engaged in the “summary execution of our children in cold blood” and wrongly claimed that 13-year-old Ahmed Manasra was among those killed. Netanyahu swiftly accused Abbas of “lies and incitement.” The case has become a lightning rod for both sides, as they trade accusations in an increasingly charged atmosphere. Netanyahu has repeatedly alleged that Abbas is inciting Palestinians to violence against Israel, a claim denied by the Palestinian leader. Abbas says Israel has been using excessive force against Palestinians. In the past month, eight Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks, most of them stabbings. During the same period, 31 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, including 14 identified by Israel as attackers, and the others in clashes between stone-throwers and Israeli troops. On Monday, Ahmed and his 15-year-old cousin Hassan stabbed and seriously wounded two Israelis, including a 13-year-old boy, in Jerusalem. Hassan was shot dead by police while Ahmed was struck by a car after the attack.

Clinton renews feud with Sanders over gun violence, says she’ll take on NRA SAN ANTONIO — Hillary Rodham Clinton says she will “not be silenced” when it comes to talking about gun violence, renewing her debate-night tangle with rival Bernie Sanders. Guns have emerged as a dividing line between the two leading Democratic presidential candidates. Clinton says at a rally in San Antonio that she’s “been told by some to quit talking about this.” She says she’ll continue to challenge the National Rifle Association, the country’s most powerful gun lobby. Clinton did not mention Sanders by name. But during Tuesday’s debate, Sanders said “all the shouting in the world” won’t keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them. The Vermont senator voted for a 2005 measure to give gun manufacturers immunity from lawsuits. Clinton opposed that bill in the Senate.

from her honeymoon ended up delivering a baby on an overseas flight when a fellow passenger went into early labour. Dr. Angelica Zen, a resident physician at UCLA, says she didn’t have much obstetrics training but didn’t hesitate to help during the Air China flight from Taiwan to Los Angeles. Zen tells KABC-TV (http://abc7ne.ws/1VSsdmw ) that flight attendants acted as stand-in nurses, and most passengers were asleep until the cabin lights came on for the delivery. The captain headed to the nearest airport, in Anchorage, Alaska. It’s unclear if the birth occurred within a 19-kilometre radius of Alaska, which would make the baby a U.S. citizen by law.

Oscar Pistorius to be released from jail, moved to house arrest on Oct. 20 JOHANNESBURG — South Africa’s Department of Corrections says a parole board has decided that Oscar Pistorius can be released from prison and moved to house arrest on Tuesday. The parole board made the decision Thursday after an initial decision to release the double-amputee runner in August was cancelled. The Olympic runner has served nearly a year of his five-year sentence for manslaughter for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He will be moved to correctional supervision, a form of house arrest where he will have to live under certain conditions. Under South African law, an offender sentenced to five years or less in jail can be released after serving one-sixth — in Pistorius’ case 10 months.

sisters, her brother and his pregnant wife, her sister and three children, her uncle and his son set off from Turkey late Monday. The family’s home in Beirut’s Ouazi working-class neighbourhood is packed with mourners Thursday, heavy with grief and anxiously waiting for news on the missing four. The family tragedy highlights how the flood of refugees is encouraging disenchanted people from around the region to make the journey to Europe, expected to get riskier in winter.

VIENNA — The U.N. nuclear agency says it will be able to deliver an assessment of the suspicions that Iran worked on atomic weapons by Dec. 15, as planned. The agency said in a statement Thursday that it has completed a series of meetings with Iranian officials focused on “ambiguities” in information previously provided by Tehran, allowing the IAEA to deliver the report in the timeframe set out in a deal between Iran and six world powers. That deal was reached July 14, but is to be adopted on Sunday. Formal adoption clears the way for the start of implementation of the actions set out in the deal — cuts in Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting of economic sanctions that have crippled Iran.

The video moves to a shot of the boy who was stabbed standing in a candy store, getting on his bicycle and then crumbling over and falling off his bike after the attack. In a final scene, the older boy is seen being confronted by two armed policemen along a railway track. He lunges at the officers and is shot. Abbas’ latest speech was aimed at his domestic audience and appeared to be an attempt to regain some of his standing, amid mounting criticism at home that he had been too conciliatory toward Israel. Behind the scenes, Abbas has been urging his security commanders to clamp down on violence, saying attacks on Israelis counter Palestinian interests.

Amateur video widely circulated on Palestinian social media sites showed the wounded Ahmed lying on the ground after being struck, his legs splayed and a pool of blood near his head. Bystanders are heard cursing the boy in Hebrew and yelling at him, “Die!” The images, which made no mention of the stabbing, have enraged many Palestinians. Israel’s Hadassah Hospital, which is treating the boy, issued a statement Tuesday saying that “in stark contrast to circulating rumours,” he was stable and “fully conscious.” In a speech to parliament that day, Netanyahu cited the Palestinian images as evidence of Palestinian incitement. “He tried to kill and murder,” Netanyahu said of the boy. “But the complete opposite is presented in a twisted way.” Then on Wednesday, Israel released security cam-

Housing markets cool PRICES CONTINUE TO SHOW STRENGTH BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canadian home sales in September were down from August as some of the country’s hottest real estate markets saw sales cool, but prices continued to show strength. The Canadian Real Estate Association said Thursday that home sales in September through its Multiple Listing Service were down 2.1 per cent compared with August. The drop came as the number of sales fell in more than half of the local markets tracked in September, led by declines in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. Sales in Vancouver were down 3.8 per cent for the month, while Toronto slipped 3.5 per cent. Calgary dropped 7.5 per cent. Compared with a year ago, September sales for the country were up 0.7 per cent. BMO senior economist Sal Guatieri said the Canadian housing market is cooling somewhat. However, prices were “frothy” in the Vancouver and Toronto markets. The national average price for a home sold in

September was $433,649, up 6.1 per cent from the same month a year ago. But, excluding the Vancouver and Toronto markets, the average was $334,705, up 2.9 per cent from September last year. “The story for the Greater Vancouver area and Greater Toronto area is that continued strong demand for a limited supply of detached properties is sending prices through the roof as international migrants, young millennials and an apparent influx of foreign wealth flock to these two areas,” Guatieri said. “The latter could get a significant boost if China further eases foreign investment restrictions on individuals, as proposed later this year in the Qualified Domestic Individual Investor program.” The Teranet—National Bank composite house price index for September was up 0.6 per cent from August, the seventh consecutive month it has sat at an all-time high. Prices were up for the month in six of the 11 metropolitan markets surveyed, including Halifax, Vancouver, Hamilton, Victoria, Calgary and Toronto. Prices in Edmonton were flat, while prices fell in Quebec City, Winnipeg, Ottawa-Gatineau and Mon-

treal. Compared with a year ago, the index was up 5.6 per cent, its largest 12-month advance since May 2012. The Canadian housing market has been helped by continued low interest rates that lower the overall cost of buying a house, creating fears among some of a housing bubble that could burst if rates rise significantly. TD Bank economist Diana Petramala said the latest sales results for September are consistent with a continued hot housing market, but noted it doesn’t appear to be getting any hotter. “This underscores our view that the highly stimulative impact of lower mortgage rates at the start of this year would wear out by September/October,” she said. “Looking forward, a favourable economic backdrop and balanced market conditions will continue to support a moderate pace of housing activity in most markets across Canada.”

WATER CLEARED AFTER TESTS

Unpaid internships demand action: expert BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — You must be punctual. You must own your own car. You will be emailing and calling seven days a week at all hours. You must never make spelling mistakes in emails. You should be excited to work in the music industry. The job posting on the Indeed website for an internship with the Epstein Management music agency reads like a union leader’s nightmare, and highlights what the Liberals and the NDP say is a major concern for Canada’s labour market. Manager and promoter Amir Epstein says he’s fielded at least two dozen applications for the position since it was first advertised in August. “The last thing I need is to be paying someone who is completely incapable,” he said, adding he doesn’t believe his posting violates the law. “The way I see it is the experience is valuable I want to offer something up to someone who really wants that kind of a job and give them a strong resume.” In Ontario, where Epstein Management is located, unpaid internships are legal only under certain criteria. The placement must be educational, it must benefit the intern, it must not replace someone’s paid job, and the intern must not be promised a job at the end of the training period. Epstein Management is far from the only company looking for unpaid interns despite Ontario’s ongoing crackdown on the practice. More than a dozen ads on the Toronto section of the Kijiji classifieds website seek volunteer labour. They include one man seeking marketing interns for a three-month commitment of more than 15 hours a week, while another ad seeks an unpaid employee at the Eurofab fabric store in downtown Toronto who will be required to clean and tidy the store as well as serve customers. With a federal election just days away, the youth unemployment rate sits at 13.1 per cent — almost double the national average — as about 170,000 fewer young people are in the workforce than before the recession. Critics suggest that makes young Canadians vulnerable to exploitation from those seeking free labour. The federal NDP has been particularly critical of unpaid internships in recent years. One of the party’s harshest criticisms is that such internships encourage income inequality because only the children of wealthier families can afford to work for free. On the campaign trail, both the NDP and the Liberals have pledged new spending on youth employment, including new jobs, co-op placements and paid internships, with the only difference being the final figure. The New Democrats say they will spend $100 million per year, while the Liberals promise more than $400 million per year for the first three years.

Joe Ben Jr., Shiprock Chapter House Farm Board representative, tests the water from tanks at the Chief Hill location in Shiprock, N.M. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said new tests on emergency water sent to Navajo Nation farmers after the Gold King Mine spill indicate the water met federal and tribal standards for livestock and irrigation. The EPA released the results Tuesday, two months after farmers and Navajo officials said the water delivered by a contractor had oil in it and wasn’t suitable for use.

Top court rejects Rio Tinto’s efforts to dismiss Innu class-action lawsuit BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to end a class action lawsuit filed by two Innu communities against the Iron Ore Co. of Canada and the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway Co. The country’s highest court dismissed with costs their appeal of a Quebec Court of Appeal ruling. No reasons were provided Thursday as is customary when the court makes such a decision. The Innu First Nations of Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam (Uashaunnuat) and Matimekush-Lac John claim the IOC, which is majority owned by Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO), has violated their rights for nearly 60 years and are seeking $900 million in compensation. The Innu claim the mines and other facilities have ruined the environment, displaced members from their territory and prevented them from practising their traditional way of life. They also say a 578-kilometre railway between Schefferville and Sept-Iles has opened up their territory to “numerous other destructive development projects.” The allegations have not been proven in court. “Today’s decision by the Supreme Court is, in fact, a great victory for all First Nations in Canada that are seeking to force companies to respect their rights,” the chiefs of the communities said in a news release.

Uashaunnuat Chief Mike McKenzie said the Supreme Court ruling means Rio Tinto and its subsidiaries will no longer be able to evade its lawsuit, which now reverts to the Quebec Superior Court for trial. “We are more determined than ever to see it through to the end and, sooner or later, the company will have to answer for what it has done, including its systematic violation of our rights since the 1950s,” he said. The chief said the Innu has tried since 2010 to find “an honourable solution” to their conflict. Several Innu chiefs attended Rio Tinto’s annual meeting in April and asked the mining giant’s CEO and board to intervene to end the dispute. “Rio Tinto (IOC) stubbornly and blindly continues down its rogue path rather than seeking to turn the page on this dishonourable period in its history,” added Real McKenzie, chief of Matimekush-Lac John. Rio Tinto said it accepts the court’s decision. “Obviously, Rio Tinto is committed to build and maintain solid relationships with the communities where we operate, including with the aboriginal communities,” said spokeswoman Claudine Gagnon. The Innu allege the companies have been running a large mining complex and railway on traditional territory in northeastern Quebec and Labrador for decades without prior consent.

Valeant drug prices face scrutiny by U.S. prosecutors BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Valeant Pharmaceuticals, already in the crosshairs of U.S. politicians, is now under scrutiny by U.S. federal prosecutors in two states who are seeking information on its drug pricing, distribution and patient assistance program. Canada’s largest drugmaker said late Wednesday that it had recently received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s offices in Massachusetts and New York. Valeant chairman and CEO Michael Pearson said the company is reviewing the court orders and will co-operate with the inquiries. “All of us at Valeant firmly believe in maintaining strong regulatory and financial controls and believe we have operated our business in a fully compliant manner,” he said in a news release. The Quebec-based company said most of the ma-

terials requested by the subpoenas relate to the company’s patient assistance programs, including financial support provided for patients and pricing decisions. Valeant’s (TSX:VRX) shares fell 12 per cent in early trading Thursday but recovered somewhat by late afternoon with losses of about six per cent on Toronto and New York stock exchanges. They are down 38 per cent since peaking in August. The drugmaker is one of Canada’s top companies by market capitalization and accounts for about 4.23 per cent of the S&P/TSX composite index. The U.S. Congress became interested in Valeant following its purchase of the heart drugs Nitropress and Isuprel and subsequently increasing the price for both — more than double in one case and more than triple in another. The drugs are administered in hospitals as part of a larger treatment protocol. Analyst Douglas Miehm of RBC Capital Markets

said the justice department’s intervention in response to last month’s subpoena request from U.S. Congress Democrats was negative for Valeant. “The focus on patient access programs could be the most troublesome as price increases are allowed but providing financial assistance to patients in government programs is not allowed,” he wrote in a report. Valeant said it spent US$544 million on patient assistance programs last year and expects to spend more than US$630 million this year and more than US$1 billion in 2016 in the U.S. Alex Arfaei of BMO Capital Markets said he doubts critics will be satisfied with Valeant’s responses given the current political climate in the U.S. election cycle. “Once the political storm subsides, we expect business as usual with less aggressive price increases,” he wrote in a research note.

The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index ended the day down 46.36 points at 13,828.97. Valeant was already in the crosshairs of U.S. politicians concerned about rising drug costs even before the company’s late Wednesday announcement that it is under scrutiny by U.S. federal prosecutors in two states. Canada’s largest drugmaker said the U.S. Attorney’s offices in Massachusetts and New York had issued subpoeanas seeking information on its drug pricing, distribution and patient assistance program. Valeant (TSX:VRX) ended trading down $12.35, or 5.4 per cent, at $216.73 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The health care subsector was the biggest loser on the Toronto market, declining 1.6 per cent as Concordia Healthcare, one of Valeant’s smaller rivals, fell 7.4 per cent. John Stephenson, president and CEO of Stephenson and Co. Capital Management, said Valeant had gained market share in part through aggressive acquisitions and had funded its growth by raising the prices for its drugs. Drawing the attention of government and regulators makes it harder for the company to continue on that path, he said. “It’s clear the bloom is off the rose because this game, if you will, has run out of time,” he said. In New York, markets gained ground after positive news on jobless claims. The U.S. Labor Department said Thursday that the number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell last week, matching the lowest level in 42 years. The Dow Jones average of 30 stocks closed up 217 points at 17,141.75, the broader S&P 500 index advanced 29.62 points to 2,023.86 and the Nasdaq index gained 87.25 points to 4,870.10. Stephenson said that despite the positive job numbers, recent indicators have shown a faltering American economy and make it less likely that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates before the end of the year. “The fact that things look like the Fed may be on hold for some time is ultimately promising for markets,” he said. In the upside-down world of Wall Street, tepid growth in the American economy is a positive because the Fed won’t risk raising interest rates.

However, the downturn in the oilpatch continued to take its toll. Sales in Calgary were down 34.2 per cent compared with a year ago, while sales Edmonton were down 8.2 per cent from last year. Regina was down 17.9 per cent from September 2014 and Saskatoon was off 20.1 per cent. The number of newly listed homes slipped 2.1 per cent from August to September, while the national sales-to-new listings ratio was 56.8 per cent in September. CREA says a sales-to-new listings ratio between 40 and 60 per cent is generally consistent with a balanced market. The number of months of inventory of homes for sale was 5.7 months at the end of September, up slightly from the 5.6 months where it has been for the previous four months.

INTERNSHIPS: Efforts didn’t go far enough In an email, Conservative spokesman Stephen Lecce pointed to the party’s expansion of the healthand-safety protections for those in internships in federally regulated industries in the 2015 budget. D But labour lawyer I Andrew Langille says L the Harper government’s B efforts didn’t go nearly far E enough to address the isR sue of unpaid internships T and didn’t seem to be a serious attempt to help vulnerable young workers. “They took the most tepid approach with the budget, and they really didn’t do anything,” he said. The Liberal and NDP plans each have strengths and weaknesses, Langille said, but both recognize that a tough job market makes young people more susceptible to exploitation. “I firmly believe that they see the problems with unpaid internships and they see the damage that excess unpaid labour does to the labour market,” he said. Langille said there’s nothing wrong with internships that provide education and skills to young people without pay, but that the current lack of protections leaves the system ripe for exploitation. “You could literally have the entire inspection team at the Ministry of Labour focus on unpaid internships, they’re that

LAWSUIT: Violations of traditional territory The operations are located in the communities of Schefferville, Labrador City and Sept-Iles. The Quebec Superior Court has rejected IOC’s claim that the Innu had to sue the government instead of the company. Rio Tinto owns a 58.7 per cent sake in IOC, followed by Mitsubishi with 26.2 per cent and Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corp. (TSX:LIF) at 15.1 per cent, which also receives a royalty on all IOC iron ore sales. The Innu communities have reached agreements with miners ArcelorMittal, Cliffs Natural Resources, Tata Steel, New Millennium Iron and Labrador Iron Mines (TSX:LIM) that provide financial compensation for the mining activities.

prevalent,” Langille said. Most internships fall under provincial jurisdiction, yet the federal government has power over certain businesses with national scope including banks, broadcasters and airlines. Epstein defends his internship. He says that unlike other management agencies or record labels that send their interns for coffee and don’t expect much out of them, an intern working for his two-person team will learn everything about what it takes to excel in a demanding field. “I think it’s important that the whole purpose of internship is to be able to provide people with real work experience, develop their resume, and they’re able to actually work in the music industry.”

Gravity technology changing energy storage When hydroelectricity is cited, images of huge earthen and concrete structures such as the Bighorn dam forming Lake Abraham, or perhaps the Three Gorges dam in China, come to mind. Usually hydroelectricity is the result of the stoppage of flow of a river, in a geologically sensible location that allows a reservoir to fill naturally; the stored water is then released in a controlled LORNE manner to generate electriciOJA ty using gravity to force water ENERGY though a turbine. Australian Genex Power has proposed a solar project that will “co-locate” a pumped storage facility with a $300 million photovoltaic solar facility on the reclaimed tailings area of the Kidston mine in northern Queensland. In effect, the hydro project will provide an efficient means of energy storage for the daily cycle of sunshine. The abandoned gold mine was once owned by Canadian miner Barrick Gold but was purchased in June of 2014 by Genex Power. Initially the site was used for water storage for the mining operation itself and as such, much of the needed infrastructure is already in place with pipelines and pumps moving the water from the Copperfield River, a tributary to the Einasleigh, to the open pits at the mine site. The plan is to incorporate the two facilities into one continuous generator of electricity; once combined they will form the third largest hydroelectric plant in Australia. Alternate forms of energy production, like wind and solar, have always been dogged with variable output, the sun does not always shine the wind does not always propel turbines. Storage options under development, or scrutiny, are compressed or liquefied air, flywheels, batteries,

Canadians hoping for one-way trip to Mars welcome news of liquid water BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Members of the space community are excited about NASA’s recent announcement that Mars appears to have flowing water, while two Canadians who hope to take a one-way trip to the red planet say it increases the chances of human beings surviving the harsh environment. Johanna Hindle, a British Columbia high-school teacher, is one of six Canadians who remain in the running in the plan by Mars One, a Dutch-based organization, to establish a colony on Mars by 2027. The Canadians are among 100 finalists from around the world on the Mars One short list. Hindle says they will be whittled down to 24 in September 2016. In the meantime, the news that Mars has liquid water has brought a smile to her face. “Definite excitement, because anything that increases the chances of possibilities of human beings being able to find helpful products on Mars is good for us,” Hindle said in an interview. “Running water is a bit of a hopeful way of putting it. I heard it’s briny sludge, which I thought was a really good description of what’s happening up there.” But nothing has made her change her mind about taking the no-return trip. “I know the dangers are unimaginable and the challenges are out of this world, but the opportunity to do this I’ve yet come across anything that would shake that in me,” she said. Hindle has also read “The Martian” and seen the Matt Damon blockbuster movie about an astronaut who is left to fend for himself after his crewmates desert him during a Martian storm. “My initial reaction was equal parts increasing hope and it also terrified me because of the amount of science I don’t know yet,” she said. Daniel Benjamin Criger, another Mars One hopeful, says the news of liquid water on Mars makes him feel “pretty good” about the mission. The native of Hamilton, Ont., is currently studying in Germany and will complete his classes next September “right in time to be selected to be in the final 24.” He also had a chance to read the Andy Weirpenned “The Martian.” Criger was inspired by the way the main character was able to improvise in order to survive. “There’s a lot that human engineering can do that can’t be done otherwise with the equipment that’s on Mars,” he said from Aachen, Germany. Criger also compared himself to Damon, who plays astronaut Mark Watney in the movie. “I like to be surrounded by technology, I like work on little problems and see if I can improve things,” he said. Criger said if he makes the trip, he will still be able to remain in touch with his family despite a 20-minute delay receiving messages from Earth. “There have been lots of people in history who have really left everything and I’m not going to have to…I live in an era which is dripping with technology.” The president of the Canadian Space Society also welcomed the liquid-water announcement, saying it would, hopefully, allow the success of some future colony or establishment on Mars. “It’s going to be a good thing obviously, with liquid water there it’s going to be a lot easier to get access to it and a lot easier to do stuff with than if it’s just a big frozen ice ball underneath the North Pole,” Marc Fricker said in an interview. Scientists confirmed the existence of frozen water on Mars in 2008. Fricker said he has been a longtime fan of the possible colonization of Mars, so the liquid-water announcement was encouraging. “I see that as being substantial…we’re not alone,” he said. “OK, we may be just sharing the galaxy with little microscopic bugs, but at least we’re not alone.”` Fricker also gave the idea of a one-way mission a nod of approval. “We’ve done it in the past, maybe not so extreme as going to Mars, but it’s something humanity is ready for,” he said. “And if these guys succeed, their names will be etched in stone forever. We’ll never forget them.”

and gravity. The hurdles these technologies face are efficiency, energy density, and costs. For example compressed air, such as that which Berkley’s Light Sail Energy has developed, reaches a 70 per cent efficiency rating compared to the flywheel technology of Temporal Power in Ontario at +/- 85 per cent. Batteries confront energy density and limited capacity, making their expense per kW hour one of the highest. An American company, Gravity Power, has taken an interesting tack with its gravity power module or GPM. Using a large diameter, deep shaft and piston, water is piped to the bottom of the shaft to lift the concrete piston with a turbine pump. When the piston is at the top, valves are swung allowing the heavy piston to power the turbine and generate electricity. Efficient and economical, it has a small footprint and little environmental impact An engineering executive has come up with a

variation on gravity storage; his company, ARES, would use highly efficient electric locomotives pulling trains of gravel cars up a 7 - 8 per cent slope powered by wind and/or solar farms during peak energy production. The potential energy is then recovered when computors, controlling the whole system, allow the train to roll downhill generating power during periods of low output. Worldwide, the intermittency issue is being resolved with fascinating interpretations on existing technologies, if weaned off hydrocarbon, a low carbon footprint could eventually become established in society.

do things such as predicting manic episodes in those suffering mental disease; pinpointing dangerous hot spots of asthma on maps; guessing which cancer treatments might give you a better chance at living longer based on your genetic makeup and medical history; and finding connections between things such as weather, traffic and your health. But when it comes to general knowledge, scientists have struggled to create a tech that can do as well as a 4-year-old human on a standard IQ test. Although today’s computers are great at storing knowledge, retrieving it and finding patterns, they are often still stumped by a simple question: “Why?” So while Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana - despite their maddening quirks — do a pretty good job of reminding you what’s on your calendar, you’d probably fire them in short of a week if you put them up against a real person. That will almost certainly change in the coming years as billions of dollars in Silicon Valley investments lead to the development of more sophisticated algorithms and upgrades in memory storage and processing power. The most exciting — and disconcerting — developments in the field may be in predictive analytics, which aims

SEATTLE — Paul Allen has been waiting for the emergence of intelligent machines for a very long time. As a young boy, Allen spent much of his time in the library reading science-fiction novels in which robots manage our homes, perform surgery and fly around saving lives like superheroes. In his imagination, these beings would live among us, serving as our advisers, companions and friends. Now 62 and worth an estimated $17.7 billion, the Microsoft co-founder is using his wealth to back two separate philanthropic research efforts at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence that he hopes will hasten that future. The first project is to build an artificial brain from scratch that can pass a high school science test.

It’s an attempt to reverse-engineer the human brain by slicing it up - literally - modeling it and running simulations. “Imagine being able to take a clean sheet of paper and replicate all the amazing things the human brain does,” Allen said in an interview. He persuaded University of Washington AI researcher Oren Etzioni to lead the brain-building team and Caltech neuroscientist Christof Koch to lead the brain-deconstruction team. For them and the small army of other PhD scientists working for Allen, the quest to understand the brain and human intelligence has parallels in the early 1900s when men first began to ponder how to build a machine that could fly. There were those who believed the best way would be to simulate birds, while there were others, like the Wright brothers, who were building machines that looked very different from species that could fly in nature. And it wasn’t clear back then which approach would get humanity into the skies first. Whether they create something reflected in nature or invent something entirely novel, the mission is the same: conquering the final frontier of the human body — the brain — to enable people to live longer, better lives and answer fundamental questions about humans’ place in the universe. “We are starting with biology. But first you have to figure out how you represent that knowledge in a software database,” Allen said. “I wish I could say our understanding of the brain could inform that, but we’re probably a decade away from that.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 16, 2015 C7

Google, which acquired AI company DeepMind in 2014 for an estimated $400 million, has been secretive about its plans in the field, but the company has said its goal is to “solve intelligence.” One of its first real-world applications could be to help self-driving cars become better aware of their environments. Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg says his social network, which has opened three different AI labs, plans to build machines “that are better than humans at our primary senses: vision, listening, etc.” All of this may one day be possible. But is it a good idea? Advances in science often have made people uneasy, even angry, going back to Copernicus, who placed the sun - not the Earth - at the center of the universe. Artificial intelligence is particularly sensitive, because the brain and its ability to reason is what makes us human. In May 2014, cosmologist Stephen Hawking caused a stir when he warned that intelligent computers could be the downfall of humanity and “potentially our worst mistake in history.” Elon Musk - the billionaire philanthropist who helped found SpaceX, Tesla Motors and PayPal — in October 2014 lamented that a program whose function is to get rid of e-mail spam may determine “the best way of getting rid of spam is getting rid of humans.” He wasn’t joking. Allen and Etzioni say that they also have thought a lot about how AI might change the world and that they respectfully disagree with the doomsayers. The technology will not exterminate but empower, they say, making humans more inventive and helping solve huge global problems such as climate change. “There are people who say, ‘I don’t care about the ethics of it all. I’m a technologist.’ We are the opposite of that. We think about the impact of this kind of technology on society all the time,” said Etzioni, who is chief executive of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, “and what we see is a very positive impact.” Koch is more hesitant. “Runaway machine intelligence is something we need to think about more,” Koch, president and chief science officer of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, said. “Clearly, we can’t say let’s not develop any more AI. That’s never going to happen. But we need to figure out what are the imagined dangers and what are the real ones and how to minimize them.” Allen’s vision is creating an AI machine that would be like a smart assistant, rather than an independent being, “answering questions and clarifying things for you and so forth.” But he admits he has wondered whether it will one day be possible for that assistant or its descendants to evolve into something more. “It’s a very deep question,” Allen said. “Nobody really knows what it would take to create something that is self-aware or has a personality. I guess I could imagine a day when perhaps, if we can understand how it works in the human brain, which is unEGGS BENEDICT believably complicated, Two eggs on a grilled English Mufﬁn with it could be possible. But your choice of one of the following: ham, that is a long, long ways bacon, sausage or tomato; topped with away.”

Human brains

Made up of 100 billion neurons, each one connected to as many as 10,000 others, the human brain is the most complex biological system in existence. When you see, hear, touch, taste or think, neurons fire with an elec-

Now many of the institute’s 265 employees are turning to more tangible problems, studying autism, schizophrenia, traumatic brain injury and glioblastoma, a rare but particularly aggressive type of brain tumor, as well as projects to understand the nature of vision.

Artificial brains

All along, Allen has been backing parallel projects in artificial brains. He wondered whether it might be possible to encode books — especially textbooks — into a computer brain to create a foundation upon which a machine could be a digital Aristotle, using a higher level of knowledge to interact with humans. “I wasn’t aiming to solve the mystery of human consciousness,” he explained in his 2011 memoir. “I simply wanted to advance the field of artificial intelligence so that computers could do what they do best (organize and analyze information) to help people do what they do best, those inspired leaps of intuition that fuel original ideas and breakthroughs.” That idea grew into the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (or AI2 as it is called by its employees), which opened its doors on Jan. 1, 2014, and currently has 43 employees — a number of them recruited from places like Google and Amazon. Allen hasn’t publicly announced the exact amount of his investment, but Etzioni said it is in the millions of dollars and is growing. Over the past year, Etzioni and his team have created Aristo. The insti-

tute’s first digital entity now is being trained to pass the New York State Regents high school biology exam. Not only do the engineers have to figure out how to represent memory, but they have to give this entity the ability to parse natural language and make complex inferences. It’s not as easy as it sounds. “It’s paradoxical that things that are hard for people are easy for the computer, and things that are hard for the computer any child can understand,” Etzioni said. For example, he said, computers have a difficult time understanding simple sentences such as “People breathe air.” A computer might wonder: Does this apply to dead people? What about people holding their breath? All the time? Is air one thing? Is it made up of a single molecule? And so on. The data that Aristo possesses doesn’t add up to the wisdom an elementary school child has accumulated about breathing. So far, Aristo has passed the first-, second- and third-grade biology tests and is working his way through the fourth. The last time Aristo took this test, a few months ago, the grade was about a C. Or, more precisely, 73.5 percent.. Etzioni says that’s pretty good - for a computer. Sounding like a glowing parent, he said, “We’re very proud he has started to make measurable progress.” But he estimates that Aristo needs at least one more year to pass fourthgrade biology, mostly because the team needs to figure out image recognition and visual processing so that the computer can interpret the diagrams.

BRAIN: Secretive

trochemical signal that travels across the synapses between neurons, where information is exchanged. Somewhere within this snarl are patterns and connections that make people who they are — their memories, preferences, habits, skills and emotions. Building on the work that Allen accelerated through his philanthropy, governments around the world have launched their own brain initiatives in recent years. The European Commission’s Human Brain Project, which began in 2013 with about $61 million in initial funding, aims to create an artificial model of the human brain within a decade. President Obama announced the United States’ own BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) effort in 2014 to great fanfare, comparing it to the Human Genome Project that led to the current genetic revolution. BRAIN was launched with initial funding of $110 million. Some futurists even believe that the brain, not the body, may be the key to immortality — that at some point we’ll be able to download our brains to a computer or another body and live on long after the bodies we were born in have decayed. “Our whole approach is to do science on an industrial scale and trying to do things exhaustively and not just focus on one path,” Allen said. Allen’s “big science” strategy has attracted and significantly increased the salaries of some of the world’s top talent — including a number of tenured professors at the peak of their careers, such as R. Clay Reid, a neurobiologist who left Harvard Medical School in 2012 to continue his work on how vision works in the brain. “The brain is the hardest puzzle I can think of, and never before has such a large group been directed to reverse-engineer how it works,” he said. The Allen Institute also has pioneered a number of other approaches uncommon in biology research. First, the brain institute started with data, not a hypothesis. Not just ordinary big data but exabytes of it — billions of gigabytes, the scale of global Internet traffic in a month — detailing the growth, white matter and connections of every gene expressed in the brain. Researchers spent their first few years painstakingly slicing donor brains into thousands of microthin anatomical cross sections that were then analyzed and mapped. Then, it took a page from the opensource movement, which advocates making software code transparent and free, and it made all of its data publicly available, inviting anyone to scrutinize and build upon it. By 2006, the institute’s scientists had created the most comprehensive three-dimensional map of how the mouse brain is wired and released that atlas to the public, as promised. By 2010, they had mapped the human brain. Since then, researchers around the world have built on their work; the mouse brain paper alone has been cited by more than 1,800 peer-reviewed

Can’t force son to visit Dear Annie: My wife and I are nearly 90 years old. Five months ago, she had a stroke and has since been residing in a nursing home. We both come from small families. Everyone has visited my wife except for our oldest son. I called my older son and asked when he was going to see his mother. His response was a KATHY MITCHELL tirade, saying, AND MARCY SUGAR “Who are you to tell me when to ANNIE’S MAILBOX visit?” and “You never listen to whatever I tell you,” along with, “The others live closer and it takes me six hours to drive there.” I told him that I have a lot of

things on my mind and cannot listen to his outburst, and then I hung up. There is public transportation from his city to his mother’s location. We’ve never had a conflict prior to this outburst. Until now, he had been visiting three or four times a year. As a result of our age and health, we have not visited his home for the past few years. Our younger son is very supportive in helping us and visits frequently. However, he is reluctant to get involved in an altercation between his brother and us. How do we get our son to realize what he is doing to his parents? — Frustrated Dear Frustrated: We don’t know if there are some issues between your son and your wife, or whether your son simply cannot deal with his mother being in a nursing home. Either way, you cannot force him to visit, even though, obviously, he should. Instead, phone him and say, gently,

“I realize how difficult it is for you to come to the nursing home. Whenever you can make it, I know your mother would love to see you, and so would I.” That’s it. No arguing or pressuring. The rest is up to him. Dear Annie: My boyfriend has been divorced for 33 years. Still, he and his ex-wife find excuses to continue to communicate about their grown sons. Recently, I got excited about getting one son a gift for his 35th birthday. My boyfriend said they “don’t do gifts around here.” So I gave it up. Then I found out that he had gone in on a gift with his ex and another son. Why do you think he had to lie to me about it? Should I take it as a clue and move on? — On the Outside Looking In Dear Outside: First of all, it is normal for divorced parents to communicate about their grown children until the end of time. It is only a problem if one of the ex-partners has designs on the other

or if they are overly involved in one another’s lives. Lying about a gift, however, is worrisome. Your boyfriend may have lied because he thought you’d be angry that he made arrangements with his ex, but that doesn’t excuse his behavior. It only undermines your trust, making you wonder what other things he may be doing with the ex, and whether he wants to exclude you from his family. These are the things you need to talk to him about. If he won’t discuss these issues, or cannot give you satisfactory answers, it’s time for counseling or goodbye — whichever you think will provide a sense of security for you.

KERR John Michael “Mike” On October 10, 2015, John Michael “Mike” Kerr died suddenly in Red Deer, Alberta. He was born in Alberta and lived here most of his life. Mike loved the outdoors and spent much of his free time there. He worked in the oil patch for many years, beginning as a rough neck and working his way up to the position of driller, where he was in charge of a four man crew. I felt he was a good driller because he loved the work, even in the 40 degrees below conditions and mainly because he was much concerned about the safety of his crew. He had several safety certificates displayed on his walls, attesting to the many accident-free days he and his crew worked the rigs. Mike also attended the Red Deer College where, although he did not graduate, he spent many satisfying hours working in classes, especially on the subject he loved most - natural science. He had his own large telescope and even watched the recent solar eclipse on it. Mike had trouble forming close personal relationships. He could not get close to people and would not let people get close to him. His mother died about two years ago and Mike spoke movingly at her funeral. He is survived and will be remembered by his younger sister, Loretta Kerr Rolls and her extended family and his younger brother, Wesley Arthur Kerr and his extended family. Mike will also be mourned by his special friend, Michelle (Breitkreuz) who tried to show him - more than anyone else in the world I know - how to be happy. There will be no funeral but a family graveside service will be held at a later date. And finally, I will remember Mike and mourn for him as long as I live. What more is there to say? He was my son. I was his Dad and I loved him - no matter how imperfect that love may have been. -James Kerr. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com.

SHUPENIO Stanley Ivan May 30th, 1956- Oct. 9th, 2015 Stanley Ivan Shupenio passed away suddenly at the age of 59 years. Stan was the second born son to Magdalina and Alexander Shupenio. Stan was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The family moved around a bit but finally settled in the Stettler area. In the late 60’s they purchased a farm in the Delburne area where he helped run the farm. In the early 70’s the family moved to Elnora. After the passing of his Mom and Step-Father; Stan had to grow up early and had big responsibilities. Stan had many different jobs throughout his life but spent the last six years at Pidherney’s Trucking. He called Rocky Mountain House his home for the last 20 plus years. Stan is survived by his sons Stanley Jr (Meaghan), and Steven, granddaughter Annalynn, brother Larry and sisters Lavonne (Dean) Anderson, and Marjorie (Kerry) Short, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Stanley’s life will be held at the Chapel of the Rocky Funeral Home on Saturday, October 17th at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made in Stan’s honor to STAR’S or the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be forwarded to www.rockyfuneralhome.ca ROCKY AND SYLVAN LAKE FUNERAL HOMES AND CREMATORIUM, your Golden Rule Funeral Homes, entrusted with the arrangements. 403-845-2626

STINSON William Russell Mar. 16, 1931 - Oct. 10, 2015 During the happiest years of his life, Bill passed away, suddenly, as a result of an accidental fall. Bill had many careers, the last two being as a lawyer and a Brain Injury Case Manager. Bill loved living in Red Deer. He loved his home, his family, his wife and his life. One of his greatest sources of joy was music. He loved singing and playing a melodica, an accordion, a clarinet, the ukulele and a keyboard. Bill was a very proud member of the Ho-Downers band, where he had so many good friends and so much good fun. He loved performing, and he loved to talk about music, planes and just about anything else with his best friend, Leo. Those he loved who will never forget him are his wife of 42 years, Donna, as well as my ‘daughter’, our ex-daughter-in-law, Susan Stinson Grant and our stellar grandchildren, Zakery and Micaela Stinson and Jacob Stinson. (Bill’s four children were no longer a part of his life). Instead of a funeral service, we will celebrate Bill’s life at a private gathering next spring, as was his wish. A card of remembrance of him or an email would be lovely. Kindly forward them to Donna Stinson, Box 1113, c/o RED DEER ADVOCATE, 2950 Bremner Ave., Red Deer, AB T4R 1M9 or to donnastinson135@gmail.com

WATERMAN Marjorie Marjorie passed peacefully on Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 102 years. Marjorie is survived by her children, Lisle (Debra Curry) of Red Deer; Ken (Terry) of Grande Prairie and Thelma Madore (Rob) of Spruce Grove; grandchildren, Jon, David and Eric Waterman all of Red Deer; and great grandchildren Bria Waterman and Conan Waterman. She was predeceased by her husband Ben in December 1995. Born at home on June 27, 1913 at the family farm near Donalda, Alberta to Ethel and Colin McKay, Marjorie was the second eldest of 4 children (Helen, Flack and Melissa). She was predeceased by her other 3 siblings as well as their spouses. Marjorie graduated from High School at Donalda and attended Olds College taking Home Economics. She worked in Red Deer at the Provincial Training School (Michener Centre) during WW2. Marjorie and Ben, a teacher, raised their family in small town Alberta in the post WW2 years and settled in Devon in the 1960’s where Marjorie continued to live until returning to Red Deer and the Westpark Lodge in 1997. Since that time, the many residents as well as the kind and thoughtful staff of the Westpark Lodge, have been Marjorie’s daily companions, friends and family. Marjories’s family would like to express their great appreciation and gratitude for the care that she received at the Westpark Lodge in Red Deer. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca.

Animal rights activist Kirby Kotler, with his daughter Kirra, 12, from Malibu, Calif., holds up signs as opponents and supporters fill the room during a California Coastal Commission meeting in Long Beach, Calif. SeaWorld marine park in San Diego will challenge a state commission ruling than banned the company from breeding its captive killer whales. The announcement on Thursday comes a week after the California Coastal Commission endorsed a $100 million expansion of the tanks SeaWorld uses to hold orcas in San Diego.

SeaWorld to fight Orca breeding ban BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — SeaWorld announced Thursday that it will challenge a state ruling that banned the company from breeding captive killer whales at its San Diego park. The announcement comes a week after the California Coastal Commission endorsed a $100 million expansion of the tanks SeaWorld uses to hold orcas in San Diego. That ruling also outlined a series of restrictions on SeaWorld, including a ban on breeding and prohibitions on the sale, trade or transfer of the whales. SeaWorld said it would “pursue legal action” and hired a law firm. But it wasn’t immediately clear if that would lead to a lawsuit, regulatory appeal or other action. “The Coastal Commission went way beyond its jurisdiction and authority when it banned breeding by killer whales at SeaWorld,” company President Joel Manby said in a statement. “By imposing broad new jurisdiction over all future SeaWorld marine animal projects, as well as aquarium projects elsewhere in the state, the commission has overstepped both federal and California law,” Manby said. The commission said it had not seen a legal complaint and could not comment. Animal rights activists called last week’s vote a death blow to the use of killer whales at the California park.

“SeaWorld is blowing smoke,” said Jared Goodman, an attorney with People from the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The commission “acted fully within its authority when, as a condition of its approval of building new tanks, it placed a ban on breeding orcas,” Goodman said. The commission’s jurisdiction over marine mammals is expansive, and state law provides no language excluding it authority over captive animals, he said. Before the vote last week, SeaWorld argued the commission didn’t have the authority to impose breeding and other restrictions to its “Blue World” expansion, which would triple the size of existing killer whale enclosures. The park said “breeding is a natural, fundamental and important part of an animal’s life and depriving a social animal of the right to reproduce is inhumane.” Manby said it “defies common sense that a straightforward land-use permit approval would turn into a ban on animal husbandry practices — an area in which the commissioners have no education, training or expertise.” Attendance at the California park has declined since the release of the popular documentary Blackfish in 2013, which suggests SeaWorld’s treatment of captive orcas provokes violent behaviour. The company’s stock price also has dropped over the past two years.

Parents give diverging accounts of sons’ church beatings BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW HARTFORD, N.Y. — Parents charged with beating their teenage son to death inside a church are giving diverging versions of what happened, though lawyers for both said Thursday the couple hadn’t intended the brutality that unfolded. An attorney for the mother, Deborah Leonard, said she felt helpless to stop an “intervention” that spiraled into severe punishment by others at the Word of Life Christian Church. But a lawyer for the father, Bruce Leonard, said the incident stemmed from a family meeting that had nothing to do with the church. Police have said a spiritual counselling session devolved into violence Sunday night at the Word of Life, as members tried to get Lucas Leonard, 19, and his 17-year-old brother, Christopher, to confess sins and seek forgiveness. After hours of being pounded with fists and kicked, the elder teen died and his brother was hospitalized with serious injuries, though police said Thursday his condition was improving. “We want to understand why this happened, how this session got so out of control that it cost the life of a young man,” New Hartford police Chief Michael Inserra said in an interview. Police say they aren’t certain why the teens were being punished. A timid Deborah Leonard “went along with” others in a church where she had worshipped for years, not anticipating how harsh the intervention would become, said her lawyer, Devin Garramone. “She didn’t have the temerity to stand up to them and say, ‘You’re not punishing my kid,”’ said Garramone, adding that he believed she didn’t cause the fatal injuries. Bruce Leonard’s lawyer, Donald Gerace, said the episode “could just as well have taken place outside the church.” He said the Leonards had no intention of seriously injuring their son. The parents and four others arrested in the beatings — including the victims’ 33-year-old sister, Sarah Ferguson — are due in court Friday. The parents have pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, and the others have

pleaded not guilty to assault. Lawyers for the other defendants haven’t commented. Inserra said Thursday he wasn’t sure whether anyone else would be charged. As the parents’ accounts of the beating began to emerge, so did contrasting views of the family and the secluded, small-town congregation. Some of the Leonards’ neighbours have described a highly religious family that largely shunned the outside world. But a relative’s Instagram account shows a different side of the Leonards. In one photo, Deborah and Bruce Leonard beam at the camera during a wedding anniversary outing. “The most genuine and caring people I have ever known,” her son Whitney Gilmore captioned the photo. His roommate said Thursday that Gilmore was away for work. Housed in a former school building in a rural part of central New York, the roughly 30-year-old Word of Life church once had perhaps 40 or more members but now counts closer to 20, Inserra said. Some live at the church. To some local residents, it was a strangely secretive place: a church where the doors weren’t open, dogs barked, people were rarely seen coming and going, and members were loath to let even firefighters in. “Clearly disconnected from everything,” said Kameron Evans, 16. Even the pastor at a church next door, the Rev. Abraham Esper, said he’d had little contact with Word of Life, except in letters he wrote complaining about noisy dogs and music. The police chief said the congregants so firmly kept to themselves that when a fire broke out a few years ago, they extinguished it themselves and didn’t want to let in firefighters. Devoted to the church, spiritual leader Traci Irwin and pastor Tiffanie Irwin, members often “wait to be told what to do,” Inserra said. After the attack, the beating victims’ relatives wouldn’t tell officers where to find the injured Christopher Leonard, who ultimately was located on the church’s second floor, the chief said.

Ebola in male survivors can survive up to 9 months six months. The U.N. health agency has said the sexual transmission of Ebola from men to women is “a strong possibility” even though the disease is mainly spread by direct contact with other bodily fluids like blood. To date, Ebola has killed more than 11,000 people in West Africa in the outbreak that was first identified last year and now appears to be winding down. There’s also about 17,000 Ebola survivors, about half of them male. The journal also published details of an Ebola case in March in Liberia, where a male survivor spread Ebola to a woman via unprotected sex five months after he became infected. In an accompanying commentary, Dr. Armand Sprecher of Doctors Without Borders said if sexual transmission of Ebola was a significant means of spreading the virus, “we would have seen a number of cases by now,” given the thousands of male Ebola survivors in West Africa. People with Ebola are believed to be most infectious when they are the sickest. Sprecher said the results suggest that surveillance needs to last longer than now recommended once an outbreak is thought to be over in an area. WHO and others recommend that male survivors of the lethal disease abstain from sex or use condoms for at least three months after their recovery. After that, they should be tested every month until they have two consecutive negative tests. WHO says it’s unknown how long

STUDY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Doctors have found that Ebola can linger in some male survivors for up to nine months but aren’t sure if that means they might still be infectious, according to new research. In a study of 93 men in Sierra Leone, scientists found the Ebola virus in semen samples from about half of them. The risk seemed to decline over time. Ebola was detected in all nine men tested at two to three months after their illness began but in only 11 of the 43 survivors tested at seven to nine months. Researchers aren’t sure why Ebola remains in semen as opposed to other bodily fluids and don’t know if the lingering virus might sicken others. “We think there is a potential risk of exposure but we cannot determine that with 100 per cent certainty right now,” said Dr. Nathalie Broutet, an expert in sexually transmitted diseases at the World Health Organization and one of the study’s authors. The paper was published online Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. WHO said previous studies showed the virus could survive in semen for about three months, though it noted one case where it remained for about

Ebola survivors to use condoms or abstain from sex. “The abstinence thing isn’t working,” he said, noting there are a number of pregnant women in his district whose partners are Ebola survivors. Moses said the fact that thousands of Ebola survivors are living in West Africa means scientists need to figure out whether sex is a significant risk to the re-emergence of the disease. “If we don’t find a way of addressing this, we will never stop Ebola,” he said.

Ebola survives in vaginal fluid, and says it’s less probable that a woman who has survived Ebola could spread it to a man through sex. Broutet said it was unclear whether the men whose samples tested positive for Ebola had any long-term side effects and if so, whether the virus might be responsible. Many survivors suffer from chronic problems including vision loss and joint pain. Dr. Francis Moses, a district medical officer in northern Sierra Leone, said it was difficult convincing male

Study suggests EV-D68 not more severe than other cold bugs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The respiratory bug known as enterovirus D68, which caused clusters of children in Canada and the U.S. to get sick in late summer-early fall last year, does not seem to have increased the need for ICU care or the risk of death compared to other cold-causing viruses, a Canadian study suggests. That’s the conclusion drawn from a study of 87 children treated at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton, who tested positive for EV-D68, and 87 other kids who had a different virus causing their cold symptoms. There are more than 100 enteroviruses, the second most common cause of the common cold after rhinoviruses. EV-D68 tends to cause symptoms in the lower part of the respiratory system, putting children with asthma or wheezing at greater risk of developing more acute illness from the infection most cold viruses typically affect the upper airways. The study found that children who turned out to be infected with EV-D68 were more likely to be in respiratory distress when they were seen in the emergency department and more often required hospital admission, compared to kids infected with

the enterovirus D68 event last season.” But Skowronski questioned the researchers’ conclusion that EV-D68 was not associated with greater risks of admission to a critical care unit or death, suggesting that the number of patients in the study may not have been large enough for such an assertion. “For me, the risk of further severity — in other words, admission to ICU or death — is really an issue of sample size and needs to be resolved,” she said from Vancouver. After examining the data presented in the paper, Skowronski said she would have been more cautious about drawing a similar conclusion “on the basis of these results.” “But I still think their paper is a welcome addition to the body of knowledge around D68 and other enteroviruses generally. And I think enterovirus D68 last year opened our eyes to the severe end of the clinical spectrum.” The EV-D68 outbreak was also associated with neurological symptoms in some children, including a condition called acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), which is characterized by extreme muscle weakness. The enterovirus family — which includes polio — is known to be linked with such neurological complications as AFP, meningitis and encephalitis.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A major study finds that taking calcium or Vitamin D pills does not help prevent growths that can lead to colon cancer in people who have had at least one in the past. It’s the latest setback among many for efforts to prevent disease through vitamin supplements. The calcium finding was especially disappointing — three previous studies suggested calcium would help, but the new one, a more rigorous test, found no benefit. “That was a big surprise. We thought we understood calcium because the data was really quite, quite strong,” said Dr. John Baron of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He led the new study, published in Thursday’s New England of Medicine. The National Cancer Institute sponsored it and Pfizer Consumer Healthcare provided the pills. It involved 2,259 people recently diagnosed with polyps, precancerous growths removed during colonoscopy. They were assigned to take either 1,000 international units of vitamin D3, 1,200 milligrams of calcium, both or neither. Women could choose to get calcium and then be given either real or dummy pills of vitamin D. “We did that so that women concerned about bone health would feel comfortable taking part,” because they were ensured of getting calcium if they wanted it, Baron explained. Followed up three to five years later, 43 to 45 per cent of all study participants had developed a new polyp, regardless of whether they took calcium, vitamin D, both or neither. Even when researchers took age, gender and other factors into account, supplement use made no difference in the results. Higher doses of vitamin D might make a difference, but this would have to be tested in a new study, and this one already tested a higher level than the 600 IUs a day (800 for people over 70) that the Institute of Medicine recommends, Baron said. Aspirin is thought to help prevent polyps and colon cancer with longterm use, but it also can cause serious bleeding. Anyone considering long-term use is advised to talk with a doctor about the risks and benefits.

other enterovirus or rhinovirus strains. “However, they were not significantly more likely to require admission to the pediatric critical care unit or to die,” said lead researcher Dr. Dominik Mertz, medical director of infection prevention and control at Hamilton Health Sciences. “We didn’t find any evidence that they were worse off than children infected by the other strains of the common cold,” Mertz said Tuesday from Hamilton. The study, published Tuesday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found 23 per cent of children infected with EV-D68 needed to be cared for in intensive care, with or without a ventilator to assist their breathing. For kids with a different cold virus, 15 per cent needed ICU admission. That difference, the researchers concluded, is not what’s called in medicine “statistically significant.” “So even those with the normal strains, one in seven kids ended up in the ICU,” he said. “And I think that’s something some people underestimate, the fact that with what is perceived as the common cold, some children can get severely sick from that as well and it doesn’t need to be EV-D68.” Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an infectious disease specialist at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control who was not involved in the study, said “it’s important and interesting to see the Canadian experience with

More than a movie snack

In this sweet and salty treat created by Lisa Gnat, popcorn and pretzels are tossed with a homemade caramel sauce, baked and then drizzled with melted chocolate. This also makes an amazing edible gift.

Sweet and savoury recipes using popcorn: chicken entree and snack BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Sisters Julie Albert and Lisa Gnat love entertaining and have compiled more than 700 recipes on their website, bitememore.com. They think popcorn can bring a lot of fun to the table. Here are two of their recipes, one for chicken that uses popcorn as a crunchy topping and one for a creative combination of popcorn and pretzels with caramel and chocolate.

D8 Donna Karan’s fashion wisdom BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Donna Karan introduced her famous Seven Easy Pieces in 1985, as she was introducing the world to her namesake label. Based on a black bodysuit with simple added pieces like a wrap skirt, classic trousers, or a suede jacket, it was a lot more than a convenient wardrobe: It was a conceptual shift in fashion. Karan was trying to tell women working women that clothes could work for them, and not the other way around. And that they didn’t need to wear buttoned-up suits to look professional. It’s a time of great transition for Karan, 67. In the summer, she announced she was stepping down from her signature Donna Karan collection to focus fully on her Urban Zen company and foundation, which along with designing clothes promotes health care, education and preservation of local culture in countries like Haiti. What’s more, she has a memoir coming out next week — “My Journey,” a volume chock full of very personal, entertaining anecdotes (like that time Barbra Streisand came in and insisted on taking a sweater that had been determined to be too flammable. They became great friends.) Karan didn’t know, when writing, that she’d have to add a new final chapter about her farewell to her famous label. But, she says “that’s how my life happens” — beginnings and endings, always at the same time. Karan sat down to chat with The Associated Press this week in her sweeping, tranquil Urban Zen space in Greenwich Village. Here are Seven Pieces of Wisdom from a pillar of American fashion. FASHION IS ABOUT DRESSING — AND ADDRESSING “When Donna Karan started, I felt there was a really enormous need for women to be addressed as women. Because they were either wearing men’s clothes — suits and ties and shirts, kind of buttoned up — or they were the ladies who lunched, and kind of wearing cocktail dresses. So who was really expressing the working woman? She was just not being addressed.” CLOTHES NEED TO WORK ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT — AND BLACK IS BEST “I wanted clothes that could go from

FRIDAY, OCT. 16, 2015

the minute I got up in the morning to the minute I went to bed at night. I wanted clothes to go through that whole cycle, because I found that I didn’t have time to go home and change. It was like, if I put them all in a suitcase and went off to Europe, what would I pack? So jewelry was an important aspect. And I love black. I never get out of it. Black took me from day into night.” SHOULDERS NEVER GAIN WEIGHT — SO SHOW THEM! “I remember Women’s Wear Daily REALLY did not like my cold shoulder look (exposed shoulders, covered arms.) Just not at all. And then Liza Minnelli decided to come into my closet one day and pick up this discarded dress. Everybody loved the way she looked in it. Next thing, I see Hillary (Rodham Clinton, then first lady) wearing it at the White House. For me, the cold shoulder was so obvious. It is the only place where women never gain weight. You gain weight EVERY OTHER place on your body except on your shoulders.” IT’S GREAT TO HAVE FANS IN HIGH PLACES “One of my dearest friends, Barbra Streisand, wears the clothes magnificently. I’ve dressed her for practically every concert she’s ever done. And I’ve always said that we worked together on it. It was a ‘We,’ not a ‘Me.’ We designed it together. And certainly when I designed her wedding dress, that was the ultimate for me. Her style is fluidity, simplicity, elegance. It was never too much. It was so that she — the woman, the voice — came through. And that’s how I feel about clothing. I always want the person to come through, not the clothes.”

Fashion designer Donna Karan poses during an interview in New York. Karan has a memoir coming out next week “My Journey,” a volume chock full of very personal, entertaining anecdotes.

DON’T HIDE YOURSELF “You know, a woman has a certain point of view about the way she can dress. And what I did was, I threw that a little bit to the side. Like pencil skirts. I love women in pencil skirts. No matter if they’re a little bigger on the bottom, they’re better in a pencil skirt because it narrows them out. Women don’t really understand that: They think the bigger the clothes the more they hide. Well sometimes, the narrower the clothes, the leaner they look.”

“Putting on four (Fashion Week) shows a year? It is a LOT of work. It’s exhausting. But at the same time, it’s a high. So when you’re in the zone, it’s an adrenaline rush. And then you crash. That’s a guarantee. But I always felt, Oh my gosh, if just had one more week, two more weeks, three more weeks. But a deadline is a deadline. And that’s what brought me into the next season. I was always late for the next collection. Most designers need deadlines. You’re still designing as those clothes go onto the runway.

WE ALL NEED A DEADLINE

CREATIVITY IS GREAT, BUT

FASHION NEEDS TO PRODUCE CLOTHES YOU CAN ACTUALLY WEAR “I think it’s much more difficult to work in fashion today than when I started. Fashion is going at warp speed — What’s new? What’s new? —and with the red carpet, and with the communications, everybody sees it so quickly, so fast. There’s so much to handle, and (the clothes) really do take on each person’s individuality, which is the good news of it. But I think we’re also pushing the limit of what a woman can actually wear.”
