Remembering their sacrifice EXHIBIT RECOUNTS WW1 EXPERIENCE OF LOCAL SOLDIERS RED DEER MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF They were sent to fight in the muddy trenches of the First World War with rudimentary gas masks and guns that jammed.

But a hundred years ago, Central Albertan soldiers were still “gung-ho” about leaving farm fields behind for hand-to-hand combat in Belgium and France.

“There was a huge fervor to get in the game. Boys were running away to enlist… They wanted to get there before the war was over, so they could be part of the action,” said Lorna Johnson, executive-director of the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.

“It was seen as a glorious adventure…”

Yet the grim realities faced by local soldiers in Europe are recounted in Red Deer and the Great War— 1915: The King Will Take His Hat Off to the Canadians. It’s the second of five annual Remembrance Day-themed exhibits mounted at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery, marking each year of The Great War. One of the harshest conflicts of 1915 was the Second Battle of Ypres in Belgium. It featured the first mass use of poison gas by German forces, and resulted in about 100,000 casualties.

Johnson said the battle was significant to Alberta because many local soldiers helped Canada achieve the first victory for a former colonial nation over a European power on European soil.

“The King will take off his hat to the Canadians” is a diary quotation from soldier Cecil B. Whyte, referring to public elation over the important Ypres victory.

Blue-green algae may become more common

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF

LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

The recent discovery for the first time of bluegreen algae in Red Deer’s park system may be the beginning of a recurring problem.

The City of Red Deer issued a blue-green algae advisory on one of the ponds at Three Mile Bend in September. Signs were posted there alerting the public.

Trevor Poth, City of Red Deer Parks superintendent, said the blue-green algae, which was still present in the pond last week, was unique for any of the city’s ponds. It is expected to diminish with cold weather but there is good chance it will reoccur in the future.

In other municipalities where the algae has occurred, it does tend to come back, Poth said.

He now believes the city will have to pay very close attention to the matter in coming years. “We’ll certainly be watching it in the spring.”

“We’re taking it really seriously but we’re not trying to be alarmist in our approach,” he said.

The city has been keeping a close eye on other park ponds such as at Bower Ponds, Mckenzie Trails and Lower Heritage Ranch but has not seen any other blue-green algae. Neighbourhood ponds are far less of a concern because they are attached to the city’s storm drainage system and therefore have flowing water.

Blue-green algae can contain toxins that are poisonous. If contact occurs, it should be washed off with clean water as soon as possible. The water in ponds is safe as long as people and pets avoid direct contact with the blue-green algae bloom. If the algae can’t be seen then it’s not there, said Poth.

“The really important message around the bluegreen algae is what we want people to do is to look at the water before they actually access it. And if you can’t see the algae, the water is totally safe.”

The Central Alberta Freestyle Ski Club, which has a training jump into a pond at Three Mile Bend, has been following the same process of making a visual inspection before allowing any of their athletes in the water, Poth said.

It is likely the early dry spring and warm temperatures, and then a lot of rain in August, is the biggest reason the blue-green algae occurred, he said.

Also contributing to the problem would be the “high nutrient load” going into the ponds because

Cook shouldn’t have been hanged: Documentarian

Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

Signs at Three Mile Bend Recreation Area indicating a Blue-green Algae bloom in the ponds are still in place. For the past few weeks dog owners have been cautioned to keep their pets from entering the water because of the problem. the area is an off-leash dog park. The city does send in a contractor twice a year to pick up dog waste even though many dog owners do follow the rules and pick it up themselves.

“A lot of the runoff through the off-leash park probably has a fair amount of fertilizer coming from pet waste,” Poth said.

The ponds at Three Mile Bend are located on an old gravel mining site, and are not directly connected to the Red Deer River, so there is no flowing water through them.

The city will lift the advisory at Three Mile Bend only after they have had at least one week of no sightings of blue-green algae.

Detailed information about blue-green algae can be found on Alberta Health Services website at www.albertahealthservices.ca/10189.asp barr@reddeeradvocate.com

The last man to be hanged in Alberta probably shouldn’t have been, said the maker of the new documentary, The Grease Pit. It’s not that Robert Raymond Cook was innocent of the worst mass-murder in Alberta’s history when the bodies of seven relatives were found in the grease pit of the family Stettler garage in 1959.

“I think he probably did do it,” said Edmonton filmmaker Rick Smallwood.

But after two years of researching the Central Alberta crime case that’s been polarizing public opinion for more than half a century, Smallwood believes Cook’s death sentence could have been commuted to life in prison on mental health grounds.

“It’s certainly changed my view of capital punishment,” said Smallwood, who interviewed long-time Stettler residents, as well as an investigating police officer and one of Cook’s defence lawyers for his documentary.

He noted Cook’s affable nature was always the sticking point for people who doubted he could have shot his father Raymond and stepmother Daisy with a double-barrel shotgun, and bludgeoned to death his five half-brothers and sisters.

While he was a petty criminal and chronic liar, “he was never known to be violent.”

But several months before the killings, Cook was clubbed over the head with a lead pipe by another inmate while in jail for break and enter and car theft. This resulted in a severe concussion.

Prisoners who knew him reported a personality change after the incident, added Smallwood. “They said he became fidgety and lost his temper easily…

If a severe concussion scrambled his brain, when he did snap, he might have gone homicidal.”

The documentarian also noted that Cook had no memory of the killings. He refused to claim temporary insanity, as his lawyers advised to possibly avoid the death penalty, because he insisted he never committed the crimes. Although he turned to religion and had discussions with two ministers, he went to the scaffold proclaiming his innocence.

To Smallwood, this suggests Cook could have been in an altered mental state — if he was guilty.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

EXHIBIT: Poem Cecil was one of three Whyte brothers fighting in the trenches. While Reginald Whyte returned from the war, moved to Red Deer from Edmonton, and took over the local Ford dealership in 1925, renaming it Whyte Motors, Cecil and Wilfred Whyte, whose sepia photographs are in the exhibit, were killed in France.

Also in 1915, the poem In Flanders Fields was penned by Lieut. Col. John McCrae, a surgeon at the Second Battle of Ypres. While the Ontarian died of an infection in 1918, Johnson said his poem lived on to spark the Royal Canadian Legion’s annual poppy campaign. Early examples of paper poppies are part of the exhibit.

Also displayed is the notorious Ross rifle that Canadian soldiers angrily rioted over. “It was brilliant for target shooting,” noted Johnson, “but in the trenches and the mud, the Ross rifle jammed. It failed as a weapon.”

It was replaced with the more solid and reliable Enfield rifle, which is also exhibited.

Canadian soldiers, unprepared for poison gas attacks, would tell each other to urinate on cloth and breathe through it to get some relief, said Johnson. This low-tech method might have worked as well as some of the equipment they were eventually provided with — including a cloth mask that resembles a flour sack with two glass goggles to see through.

“It’s absolutely primitive,” said Johnson, of the mask on display. Soldiers were expected to tuck the bottom of it into their shirt collars and breathe through a filter that didn’t allow much air to pass through. Johnson said wearers were in danger of suffocating.

Out of about 850 Red Deer people who enlisted in The Great War, 118 soldiers died. This had a devastating effect on regional families — and businesses. Unlike the Second World War which resulted in incoming soldiers training at the Penhold base, the First World War only took people out of the area, including farm labourers. Johnson said the dire affect on Central Alberta’s economy is shown by a long list of Red Deer properties that were auctioned off because the owners were unable to pay property taxes.

“When 25 per cent of the workforce leaves, it has a big impact,” said John-

COOK: Case that made headlines Some Albertans whom he spoke to for the film have their doubts about the circumstantial case that made sensational headlines in newspapers of the day, including the Advocate.

Widespread public panic ensued after Cook escaped from the Ponoka mental hospital on July 11, 1959, after being denied permission to attend the funerals of his family members.

Cook was eventually found, after a province-wide manhunt, hiding at a Bashaw pig farm.

It took two trials and just under 16 months for him to be convicted of murder.

Most people Smallwood interviewed felt Cook was “probably” guilty. But former Red Deer RCMP officer George Sproule, who helped with the murder investigation, told Smallwood he was sure they got the right man, “otherwise, he said he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.”

Although Cook was hanged on Nov. 15, 1960 at the Fort Saskatchewan jail, speculation lingered about another person’s involvement. A blood-splattered white shirt with the name ‘Ross’ written inside was found stuffed under a bloody mattress in the house, along with Cook’s prison suit. And police could never link the double-barrelled murder weapon to Cook, said Smallwood.

At the same time, the young man had appeared very guilty, joyriding in a convertible he had obtained by trading in his dad’s station wagon. He also had his father’s identification on him — which led police to the discovery of the bodies.

Smallwood filmed four hours of footage, but edited it down to just over two-and-a-half hours on a DVD that he will provide to the Alberta Archives.

It’s also available to the public from www.robertcook.ca.

The amateur filmmaker, who’s made previous documentaries on the Hillcrest mine disaster and the Alberta Oil Kings hockey team, said he’s always been fascinated by Alberta’s history — particularly the Stettler murders.

Rookie Liberals bring diverse experience to caucus

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — When Catherine McKenna looks at a roomful of her 127 fellow rookie Liberal MPs, she sees police chiefs, soldiers, aboriginal leaders, mayors, doctors, refugees, athletes, social workers, tradespeople, academics and several lawyers like herself.

“A lot of people really believed we were off-track with the last government and it was really important to contribute by stepping up to run,” said McKenna, who defeated New Democrat incumbent Paul Dewar in the riding of Ottawa Centre.

McKenna is part of what may be the most diverse governing caucus of MPs that voters have ever sent to Parliament Hill.

She herself has a broad background beyond practising law, which enabled her to be a legal adviser to the United Nations peacekeeping mission in East Timor. She helped create her own non-governmental agency that works on governance and human rights issues abroad, and she’s lectured on foreign affairs at the University of Toronto. She’s also a competitive swimmer.

McKenna is typical, in some ways, of her broader caucus.

She’s a rookie, like more than two-thirds of her fellow Liberal MPs, 184 Liberals in all.

At 44, McKenna is also part of the biggest demographic group in the Liberal caucus, with 82 of those elected falling in the 30-to-49 age range. The second largest is the 50-64 group, with 68 MPs, according to a Maclean’s magazine analysis.

McKenna is also one of 50 women to be elected to the Liberal caucus.

The Liberals also have 38 of the 46 visible minorities elected to the House of Commons.

McKenna represents the downtown Ottawa riding that includes Parliament Hill. That makes her typical of many fellow Liberal MPs, in the sense that much of the caucus is comprised of MPs from major urban centres.

The Liberals painted the map red in and around most major cities, including the greater Vancouver and Montreal areas, Ottawa and its surrounding

Vice News is going to court to fight the RCMP over a production order TORONTO — Vice Media is waging a legal battle with the RCMP after the digital media company was ordered to produce all communications between its employees and a man facing terrorism charges, said Vice Canada’s head of content.

The Mounties issued a production order to two of Vice’s offices in Feb-

areas and the greater Toronto area, including Mississauga and Brampton, as well as most of Winnipeg.

That’s on top of a smattering of MPs from rural ridings.

And of course, McKenna’s colleagues also include all 33 ridings from Atlantic Canada, as well as all three Arctic ridings, as well as a majority of Quebecers.

Like her fellow rookies, as well as some returning Liberal veterans, McKenna says her focus will be on representing her constituents.

That’s going to be imperative for two reasons. Justin Trudeau is promising a smaller cabinet of about 25 people, which means there won’t be a job there for everybody. He also wants his MPs to bring the voices of their constituents to the Hill.

“He’s been clear about that — not having everything driven through PMO. I wouldn’t have run if I thought I was just going to be repeating talking points all the time,” McKenna said.

McKenna’s riding is home to federal public servants, many of whom have faced some tough morale issues under the Conservative government.

But she pointed to other concerns, such as relocating a controversial memorial to victims of communism making the National Capital Commission more accountable providing safer and better cycling and walking pathways and building more affordable housing.

McKenna said she learned what her constituents want by listening at their doorsteps, proudly declaring that she knocked on 100,000 doors during her 522 days as a candidate. ‚ “Not that I’m counting,” she joked.

And while some were skeptical about the value of knocking on doors, McKenna said it gave her a sense of what mattered in her riding — “outside of the bubble” of federal politics.

ruary, said Patrick McGuire. A production order is similar to a search warrant. Police demanded “any notes and all records of communications” between reporter Ben Makuch, or any employee of Vice Media, and alleged Islamic State militant Farah Mohamed Shirdon, Vice reported.

In September, the RCMP issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant against Shirdon, a former resident of Calgary. He has been charged in absentia with several offences, including participation in the activity of a terrorist group and instructing others to carry out terrorist activity.Vice News has published several interviews with Shirdon, including one on video. The head of content at Vice Canada, Patrick McGuire, said that the company is going to court to dismiss the production order.

EDMONTON — RCMP report that 11 people have died in several separate collisions on northern Alberta roads in the short span of 13 hours.

Mounties in Two Hills were called to a crash between a car and a truck near Willingdon, 110 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, at about 8 p.m. on Friday that killed a 44-year-old man who was driving the car.

Only a few hours later, officers from the same detachment responded to a single vehicle rollover that killed four of the seven people in the vehicle and sent the remaining three to hospital.

One person died in a third crash near Evansburg later in the morning, and another two died after being ejected from a vehicle during a rollover near Peace River.

Shortly after nine on Saturday morning, three people who were in a pickup that collided with a gravel truck died in a collision west of Edmonton near Spruce Grove.

RCMP Cpl. Leigh Drinkwater says all of the crashes remain under investigation.

“To see this volume in roughly a 12-hour period is beyond compare,” Drinkwater said.

Drinkwater was not aware of the road conditions in each of the cases. Since many of the crashes were in the evening or early morning, he said factors like alcohol or fatigue would be considered.

While the number of fatalities would put a strain on the resources of small detachments, Drinkwater said there are enough collision analysts in northern Alberta to assist with the technical aspects of the investigations.

Police are reminding drivers to pay careful attention to road conditions and remain focused and clear-headed at the wheel.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Home-schooling association cancels speeches by stars of ‘19 Kids and Counting’ EDMONTON — An Alberta home-schooling association has cancelled an appearance by a controversial reality TV couple at its annual convention next year. Alberta Home Education Association president Paul van den Bosch says in a news release that recent feedback from members suggests the planned speeches by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar “would not be in the best interests of home educators.”

The Duggars’ show 19 Kids and Counting chronicled the life of the American religious couple and their home-schooled children. But the TLC program was pulled earlier this year after revelations that their oldest child had fondled four of his sisters and a family babysitter when he was a teenager. The association says its members pointed out the Duggars would have been just a small part of the convention in Red Deer next April and that their philosophy is not representative of association as a whole.

Election results ought to worry sovereigntists Let it not be said that Quebecers did not have plenty of opportunities to use the ballot box to signal their determination to revisit the issue of their political future over the two decades that have passed since the closely fought 1995 refCHANTAL erendum.

Instead, sevHEBERT en post-referINSIGHT endum federal elections and six provincial ones have resulted in ever-diminishing returns for the Bloc Québécois and the Parti Québécois.

After 1995, the PQ - under four different leaders — never managed to earn a mandate strong enough to consider sounding out voters on sovereignty for a third time.

The party was in power in Quebec for almost half of the two post-referendum decades. But over that period, it won a governing majority only once, under Lucien Bouchard in 1998. And

even then, the PQ came second in the popular vote.

Bouchard won 43 per cent of the vote in that election (against 45 per cent for Jean Charest’s Liberals.)

These days his former party can only dream of reaching as high a level of support.

When Pauline Marois formed a short-lived minority government three years ago she did so with the support of barely one in three voters.

On paper, the Bloc’s has a more enviable electoral track record than its provincial cousin, but in the big sovereigntist picture the federal party has lost the battle that mattered most to its cause.

That would be the debate over the Clarity Act. The 2000 federal election was largely fought in Quebec on Jean Chrétien’s legal response to the close call of the referendum, and at the end of it the BQ fell to second place in the popular vote for the first time in its history.

In the 2004 election the sponsorship scandal briefly raised Bloc fortunes to almost 50 per cent.

But the momentum from that backlash was short-lived. In the federal elections that followed, an ever-increasing number of nationalist voters switched to federalist alternatives,

breathing new life in the Conservatives, the NDP and now the Liberals in Quebec.

Looking back on two lost decades, sovereigntist activists blame Bouchard for not having been a true believer and his three successors, Bernard Landry, André Boisclair and Marois, for lacking Bouchard’s charisma.

Some will even tell you that Marois was doomed to fail because - as one of them put it in an email last weekend - she “had fear in her eyes” whenever she talked about sovereignty.

If she did I was never close enough to notice, but based on what happened to the PQ in the last Quebec election and to Gilles Duceppe last week fear might actually have been in order.

Marois lost the 2014 provincial election with 25 per cent of the vote. With just 19 per cent last week, Duceppe’s Bloc has beaten the PQ to the worst sovereigntist popular vote in an election.

The return of the Liberals under Justin Trudeau to a majority of Quebec seats for the first time since 1980 was widely noted on election night.

But it is another feature of the 2015 federal vote in Quebec that should cause renewed consternation within sovereigntist ranks on this anniversary week.

For the first time, the province was the scene of a real four-way federal battle and while the Liberals came out on top, the NDP and the Conservatives both won more Quebec seats than the Bloc.

As is now par for the course in such circumstances, sovereigntist strategists were quick to assert that the Bloc’s latest lacklustre showing did not reflect the actual standing of their cause in Quebec public opinion. And yet it is hard not to note the symmetry between the new normal in both the national assembly and the House of Commons.

Where there used to be two Quebec factions — one sovereigntist and one federalist — represented by PQ/Bloc and the Liberals, there are now four distinct parties in each legislature and federalists make up a majority in both houses.

About 40 per cent of Quebecers continue to tell pollsters that they would support sovereignty in another referendum. But from one election to the next, more and more 1995 Yes supporters stop treating the province’s political future as a ballot box issue. These days, the pro-Canada camp wins every Quebec battle just by showing up for it.

Sustainable development offers a path to prosperity Sustainable development means different things to different people.

der the UN umbrella to establish a set of objectives and strategies that became known as the Millennium Development Goals. Although they weren’t perfect, they offered new ways of looking at and targets for addressing issues like poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, gender equality, education and environmental sustainability.

Fifteen years later, on its 70th anniversary, the UN has established new objectives called Sustainable Development Goals. Building on the previous strategy, these include 17 goals and 169 specific targets.

Developed through years of consultation among people from around the world, including social and environmental science and policy experts, the program aims to secure global peace and prosperity.

A UN statement offers a compelling vision: “A world in which consumption and production patterns and use of all natural resources — from air to land, from rivers, lakes and aquifers to oceans and seas — are sustainable.

One in which democracy, good governance and the rule of law, as well as an enabling environment at national and international levels, are essential for sustainable development, including sustained and inclusive economic growth, social development, environmental protection and the eradication of poverty and hunger.

technology are climate-sensitive, respect biodiversity and are resilient.

One in which humanity lives in harmony with nature and in which wildlife and other living species are protected.”

Although I take issue with some elements, such as the reference to “economic growth” (an outdated concept in an overpopulated world with increasingly scarce resources), I’m encouraged that the new plan builds on the Millennium Goals to offer more specific and stronger targets for protecting the air, land, water and natural environments on which we depend for health, well-being and survival.

There’s also a specific goal for protecting oceans, recognizing that ocean health is essential for peace, food security and resiliency in the face of global warming.

The Sustainable Development Goals take effect in January 2016, when UN member states are expected to enact policies and legislation to realize them and their associated targets. Canada is part of the UN, and up until 2010 we held a coveted seat on the UN Security Council. We’re one of the world’s wealthiest countries with the eighth-highest standard of living, according to the Human Development Index. Are we contributing in ways that will help the world meet the goals, or are we hindering their chances for success?

ment to consider. Our newly elected leaders have a lot on their plates, domestically and internationally — including the December UN climate summit in Paris. As with the climate negotiations, a privileged country like Canada is in an ideal position to show leadership on these development goals, especially if we expect poorer UN member countries to do their part.

Canada must work with other nations to create transformative change that protects what we have and leaves the world in better shape for our children and grandchildren.

The UN goals may be lofty, but without them, and without real action to achieve them, the state of our economies, environment and social conditions will inevitably continue to degrade. And peace will elude us. That’s not the future I want.

The fate of the world is up to all of us. We need to encourage all levels of government, along with relevant organizations, to understand and contribute to the plan’s success.

Let’s ensure Canada is a proud partner in realizing the progressive change the UN Sustainable Development Goals promote.

Tories prepare for Ottawa without new leader

CANADA BRIEFS

Police in Newfoundland arrested a man with $47,000 in outstanding fines ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Police in Newfoundland say they’ve arrested a man who owes thousands of dollars in outstanding fines.

Officers in St. John’s pulled over the 29-yearold man after a pursuit on Saturday night.

Police allege the accused was driving without insurance or registration and owes more than of $47,000 in outstanding fines.

The man is charged with driving while disqualified, flight from police, and breach of court orders.

Dianne Watts, centre, who served as the mayor of Surrey from 2005-2014, listens as Prime Minister Stephen Harper speaks during an announcement about the apprentice loan program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology Annacis Island Campus in Delta, B.C. in January. Watts is part of the 99-member Conservative team, set to meet for the first time Thursday since the party lost its majority government on Oct. 19.

For Vecchio, making sure the voices of rural Canadians are heard is among her key goals — few on the government side come from outside urban centres, she noted.

The party has another regional dynamic to contend with — no MPs at all from the Atlantic region but more than ever before from Quebec.

The province was the only place in Canada where the Conservatives actually widened their support, producing their best-ever showing of 12 MPs, up from 5 in 2011. That’s largely credited to the work of Denis Lebel, who served as former prime minister Stephen Harper’s Quebec lieutenant. Some Conservative insiders suggest he should be rewarded for those efforts with a prime place on the opposition benches.

Lebel and Alberta MP Michelle Rempel are lobbying their colleagues to elect them joint interim leaders.

OTTAWA — If there’s one thing Dianne Watts knows she needs to do before travelling to Ottawa this week to take her place in the official Opposition caucus, it’s buy warmer clothes.

As the former mayor of Surrey, B.C., Watts hasn’t had much experience with the biting winters she’ll be facing in the national capital as part of the 99-member Conservative team, set to meet for the first time Thursday since the party lost its majority government on Oct. 19.

It was a bittersweet night for Watts, who had announced in 2014 she intended to run for Parliament as a Conservative and was immediately touted as a star candidate with cabinet potential.

She handily won her Vancouver suburban riding, but her party was routed by Justin Trudeau’s resurgent Liberals.

“When I made the decision to run federally, it was a decision I felt strongly about,” she said in an interview.

“Within any party, you don’t agree 100 per cent on things, but the foundational pieces you still agree upon and no matter what I’ve done, I’ve always been a part of effecting change, so for me it’s a great opportunity and a great challenge.”

About a third of the new Conservative caucus is comprised of rookies, some coming from other political careers like Watts, while others like Karen Vecchio are joining after having spent several years working for MPs. Vecchio worked for more than a decade for Joe Preston, a well-liked Conservative who chose not to run again this time in the riding of Elgin-Middlesex-London. She ran in his place and won.

Her background makes her comfortable with the task in front of her, she said.

“If I was a brand new MP who had never seen a members’ office budget before or I’d never seen how the parliamentary precinct works, I’d feel lost,” she said. Both rookies and veterans will have a learning curve, said James Rajotte, who served in opposition for six years before the Conservatives formed government in 2006. There’s less access to ministers for help with constituent concerns on immigration or taxes, while at the same time, MPs must do far more work on their own to prepare for committees and study legislation.

“There is a lot more work personally for an opposition MP,” he said.

Watts said she sees room to focus on an issue of importance in her hometown: refugees. Surrey gets the highest number of government-assisted refugees in the country and Watts has been dealing with the issue for a decade, so already on her radar is how the Liberals will follow through with their promise to resettle 25,000 Syrians by year-end.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Clocks in most of Canada went back an hour early Sunday morning, but not everyone is pleased with the extra time for sleep.

“People with sleep disorders don’t get an extra hour of sleep. They get an extra hour of laying there thinking about not sleeping,” says Tara Holmes.

Holmes is one of two Kamloops, B.C., residents who have created an online petition urging the provincial government to do away with daylight time, where clocks leap forward an hour in March and fall back in November.

Daylight time has been a pet peeve for Bob Dieno, the petition’s co-founder, since university when he slept in on the day the clocks switched and missed the final exam in his chemistry class.

The time change is archaic and disruptive, Holmes argues, especially for people who have sensitive internal clocks, such as seniors and children.

There are also studies, Holmes says, that have found an increase in workplace and road accidents in the weeks following time changes.

“It’s crazy when you look at the impact this has,” she says.

“There’s so many reasons that we shouldn’t do it but I don’t think there are many reasons why we should.”

Rebels hold off late charge

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Rebels 6 Tigers 5 (SO) MEDICINE HAT — The Red Deer Rebels were Tiger tamers through the first two periods of a Western Hockey League game Sunday, then became the prey in the final frame.

The Rebels were seemingly in control with a 5-2 lead after 40 minutes, but the Medicine Hat Tigers fired three third-period goals — including Matt Bradley’s tying marker with one second remaining — to force a scoreless overtime.

Red Deer eventually pulled out a 6-5 victory on Ivan Nikolishin’s shootout goal, but GM/head coach Brent Sutter wasn’t a happy camper despite securing two points.

“We’re still trying to learn to be a 60-minute team,” said Sutter. “We played well for 40 minutes, actually very good for 40, then we just got away

from our game. We just didn’t play the right way in the third and we’re still trying to find our way to be a 60-minute team.”

The Rebels opened a 4-0 lead when Evan Polei notched his second goal of the game — a power-play tally —

at 6:25 of the second period. Clayton Kirichenko got the Tigers on the board six minutes later before Adam Musil restored Red Deer’s four-goal cushion with his third of the season at 14:08.

Tigers right winger Evan Mowbray buried a rebound with 14 seconds remaining in the frame, but the Rebels were still in good shape.

Supposedly.

Steve Owre connected for the hosts at 8:41 of the third, Chad Butcher pulled the Tigers to within one at 17:23 and Bradley beat Rebels netminder Trevor Martin at 19:59.

Martin went on to stop five shots in the five-minute three-on-three session and stoned all three Tigers shooters — Owre, Butcher and Bradley — in the shootout. Medicine Hat netminder Austin Lotz foiled Michael Spacek but couldn’t stop Nikolishin’s attempt.

“We should have never been in that situation,” said Sutter.

“We were definitely the better team

for two periods, then we sat back and got soft on plays.

“As the players said, we have to lock things down whether we’re up a goal or up three goals. We still have things to figure out here.”

Polei, Spacek and Wyatt Johnson scored first-period goals for the Rebels, who host the Seattle Thunderbirds Tuesday.

Martin made 32 saves through 65 minutes, while Lotz stopped 33 shots.

• Team BC, featuring Rebels prospects Brendan Budy and Eli Zummack, defeated Saskatchewan 7-2 Sunday in the bronze-medal game of the Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup. Budy scored twice for BC, while Zummack drew one assist.

Later in the day, Team Alberta blanked Manitoba 3-0 in the gold-medal contest. The Alberta roster included Red Deer midget AAA Optimist Chiefs forward Josh Tarzwell. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Royals rout Mets to claim crown

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Royals 7 Mets 2 NEW YORK — Crown ‘em, Kansas City!

One agonizing step from ecstasy last season, this time the Royals reign after their latest incredible comeback and a go-ahead hit from maybe the most unlikely player in uniform.

Christian Colon singled home the tiebreaking run in the 12th inning and those bound-and-determined Royals rallied one more time to beat the New York Mets 7-2 in 12 innings early Monday for their first World Series championship since 1985 and second overall.

Down two runs in the ninth, Kansas City fought back in Game 5 against two of the top arms on the pitching-rich Mets: Matt Harvey and Jeurys Familia.

And the Royals did it not with home run power but instead a daring dash from Eric Hosmer, a three-run double

by Lorenzo Cain, a couple of crucial stolen bases.

Consistent contact, keep the line moving.

And that’s how Series MVP Salvador Perez and the Royals became the first team since the 2002 Angels to come from behind in all four World Series wins, according to STATS. That’s how they washed away the bitter taste of last year’s Game 7 loss at home to San Francisco, an October heartbreak that drove them to their singular focus all season.

Never waver. Win it all this time.

Now, this group of homegrown favourites that turned around a floundering franchise, Mike Moustakas and Alex Gordon and Hosmer, can take their place in Royals history alongside George Brett, Willie Wilson, Bret Saberhagen and those champs from 30 years ago.

With no margin for error, Harvey put the Mets’ last hope in his hands and hung on as long as he could. After eight scoreless innings, he pushed to pitch the ninth and finally faltered.

New York slugger Yoenis Cespedes exited with knee pain but Curtis Granderson hit a leadoff homer, his third long ball of the Series, and the Mets managed a 2-0 lead against heavy-hearted Royals starter Edinson Volquez, pitching one day after returning from his father’s funeral.

But for these resilient Royals, no deficit is too large, no time in the game

Member of the Kansas City Royals celebrates after Game 5 of the Major League Baseball World Series against the New York Mets Monday, in New York. The Royals won 7-2 to win the series. too late.

Perez looped a leadoff single in the 12th off losing pitcher Addison Reed, and pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson stole second. One out later, Colon stepped in as a pinch-hitter for his first plate appearance since the regular-season finale Oct. 4.

Hardly rusty, he lined a 1-2 pitch into left-centre and pounded his chest at first base. Alcides Escobar added an RBI double, and Cain’s bases-loaded double off Bartolo Colon broke it open.

All that was left was for Wade Davis to close it out. He threw a called third strike past Wilmer Flores to end it and tossed his glove high in the air as the Royals rushed toward the mound to celebrate.

No bruise too painful for Salvador Perez, who earns World Series MVP NEW YORK — Salvador Perez took foul balls of his mask, collarbone and fingers, and the Kansas City catcher kept on bouncing back, like some indestructible test dummy.

No bruise was too painful.

No ache was too much to overcome.

Not only did he anchor the pitching staff, he hit .364 (8 for 22) and was voted the Most Valuable Player in the Royals’ five-game World Series win over the New York Mets that culmi-

nated in a 7-2, 12-inning victory early Monday morning.

“Now I don’t feel pain. I don’t feel nothing,” he said.

Last year against San Francisco, Perez hit a foul pop to Pablo Sandoval for the Series’ final out, with the potential tying run at third.

This year, his grounder drove in the tying run as Kansas City rallied for two runs in the ninth inning. Then he singled leading off the 12th, setting up pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson to score the go-ahead run on pinch-hitter Christian Colon’s single.

Perez set a major league record for most innings caught over a two-year span since 1914 with 2,724.

Eskimos topple Als to secure first place in West

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Eskimos 40 Alouettes 22 EDMONTON — It’s a case of hurry up and wait for the Edmonton Eskimos.

Derel Walker reeled in three touchdown passes as the Eskimos completed their race through the second half of the season to secure first place overall in the CFL and a bye week before hosting the West Division final with a 40-22 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday.

The Eskimos (14-4) finished off regular season play with eight consecutive wins for the first time in 33 years.

With a bye in the final week of the regular season, the Eskimos won’t return to action until Nov. 22.

“It feels good being able to walk off the field knowing that we’re the winningest team right now in the league and we won the division,” said Eskimos head coach Chris Jones.

“Now it’s time to take a few days off, rest our minds, rest our bodies, come back and make a run at this thing.”

The Alouettes (6-11) were officially eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. It ended a run of 19 straight playoff appearances, the second-longest in CFL history.

“It’s disappointing,” said Montreal receiver B.J. Cunningham, who caught two TD passes. “We were hoping to get on a little playoff run and win this game and go on to the next one still alive. But we got stopped short. It’s time to start building for next year.”

Edmonton scored on its first two possessions, getting a 32-yard field goal from Sean Whyte before quarterback Mike Reilly found Walker for a six-yard

touchdown pass. Walker passed 1,000 yards receiving earlier in the opening quarter and would go on to set a new rookie record for receptions.

“This is my first 1,000-yard season ever playing football,” Walker said. “That’s a great accomplishment for me. I’m very proud. And tonight I’m very proud of this team. It’s been an exciting year for this organization and I’m just glad to be a part of it.”

The Alouettes responded early in the second quarter to make it 10-7 as quarterback Kevin Glenn completed a four-yard touchdown pass to Cunningham.

Montreal surged into the lead with four minutes to play in the second frame as Glenn hit former Eskimo Fred Stamps for a 37-yard touchdown strike.

Whyte booted a 37-yarder to close the game to 1413 at the half.

Edmonton had a good start to the second half as Dexter McCoil picked off a Glenn pass at the Montre-

al 15-yard-line just 26 seconds in, but were forced to settle for a 20-yard Whyte field goal.

Montreal got a single before Whyte added another three-pointer for a 19-15 Esks’ lead.

However, Montreal regained the lead on a 30-yard passing major to Cunningham with two minutes left in the third.

The Eskimos retook the lead to start the fourth on a six-yard TD pass to Walker.

Walker scored his third touchdown of the game with nine minutes to play, hauling in a 28-yard pass.

Montreal was closing in, but Tanner Marsh fumbled just before the goal line, with Otha Foster recovering for the Eskimos in the end zone.

Edmonton added a last-minute three-yard TD run

by Chad Simpson.

There was a lengthy delay in the third as Alouettes defensive lineman Michael Klassen went down with a neck injury and left the game in an ambulance after being stretchered off the field.

A full update wasn’t available right after the game, but Als assistant coach Noel Thorpe was optimistic.

“I had a chance to talk to him on the field,” he said. “His eyes were wide and he seemed alert and OK. I think the doctors did the right thing taking precautions, though. They were concerned about some numbness in his left arm. He was moving his arms, which was a good sign.”

Notes: Esks linebacker JC Sherritt left the game in the first half with an upper body injury and did not return. … Montreal head coach Jim Popp did not make the trip due to an illness. Assistant coach and defensive coordinator Thorpe guided the team in his absence. … With a crowd of 31,014 on Sunday, Edmonton officially had the top overall attendance in the CFL this season.

Flames burn Oilers with late goal

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Flames 5 Oilers 4 EDMONTON — The Calgary Flames were a team in need of a spark, and they got one at the perfect time on Saturday.

Michael Frolik scored three times — including the winner with 8.7 seconds remaining — as the Flames snapped a four-game winless skid by edging the Edmonton Oilers 5-4.

Frolik’s winner was one that Edmonton goaltender Cam Talbot would have wanted back. Calgary negated an icing call in the final seconds and Frolik put a seemingly harmless shot on net from behind the goal line that squeezed in between Talbot and the post for his first career hat trick, and the two points. “The puck was rimmed in and (Matt) Stajan went to battle and I kind of came to help him,� Frolik said. “I had a bit of a battle and I just tried to shoot it off his pads and it went in. it was kind of a lucky goal, but it was a big one. “They came back but we stuck with it. It was a big goal and hopefully this is going to get us going and hopefully we can keep going.�

Brandon Bollig and TJ Brodie also scored for the Flames (3-8-1), who were playing their third game in four nights.

Taylor Hall, Brandon Davidson, Teddy Purcell and Leon Draisaitl responded for the Oilers (4-8-0), who have lost four of their last five.

Hall and Draisaitl tacked on two assists apiece for three-point outings while Connor McDavid was held off the scoreboard, halting his seven-game point streak.

Talbot took responsibility for allowing the late goal. “There’s no excuses, that puck can’t cross the line,� he said. “Points aren’t easy to come by and we did a great job of battling back in the third. It’s just really deflating giving up that goal with eight seconds left. “We were close to a point and able to fight for a second one (in overtime) and we come out with nothing thanks to me.�

Oilers head coach Todd McLellan said his team can’t afford to put themselves in that position in the first place. “When you give up five goals, you’re not winning in this league, it’s as simple as that,� he said. “It doesn’t matter how they happen, where they come from, what time of the game they come from, you don’t win giving up five.�

Calgary scored on its first shot of the game two

Calgary Flames’ David Jones (19), left, is chased by Edmonton Oilers’ Darnell Nurse (25) during first period NHL action in Edmonton, on Saturday. The Flames won the game 5-4. minutes into the first as Bollig tipped a Brodie shot past Talbot.

The Flames went up 2-0 with eight-and-a-half minutes left in the opening period as Talbot coughed up the puck behind the net to Stajan and he sent it in front to Frolik, who scored his first of the season into a wide-open net.

Edmonton got a goal back just over a minute later as Hall tipped a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins shot past Flames goalie Karri Ramo.

Calgary made it 3-1 late in the first as a Kris Russell shot was directed in by Frolik.

The Oilers looked to have cashed in on a power play four minutes into the second period on a goal by Benoit Pouliot, but it was overturned on a ruling of contact with the goalie.

Edmonton made up for the tough call on another power play midway through the second as Davidson scored on a point blast.

The Flames responded on a power play of their own as the puck came back to a pinching Brodie and he scored on a slap shot.

The Oilers made it 4-3 with the man advantage 48 seconds into the third period as a puck came through traffic to Purcell at the side of the net for the goal.

It was Calgary’s turn to have a goal disallowed soon after as David Jones was ruled to have interfered with Talbot as a shot from Brodie went in past Talbot.

Edmonton tied the game 6:40 into the third on a three-on-one as Hall made a perfect saucer pass to Draisaitl, who scored his third goal in just two games played this season.

Ramo finished with 19 saves for the win while Talbot turned aside 27-of-32 shots in defeat.

Both teams are off until Tuesday, when the Oilers host the Philadelphia Flyers and the Flames travel to Colorado to face the Avalanche.

CHINOOK HOCKEY LEAGUE INNISFAIL — There’s the Battle of Alberta and then there’s the Battle of the Eagles, Chinook Hockey League style.

The visiting Stony Plain Eagles sniped four unanswered second-period goals in a 6-1 thumping of the Innisfail Eagles Friday before 505 fans at the Twin Arena.

Curtis Billsten scored his first of three goals on the night early in the opening period and then made it 2-0 3:24 into the middle frame.

Bryce Williamson, Tyler Feakes and

Raptors get big win for coach Casey

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Raptors 106 Bucks 87 TORONTO — Dwane Casey entered the Raptors’ record book Sunday but would only talk about it begrudgingly.

“I appreciate all the players that have been here,” Casey said in deflecting praise after his franchise-record 157th win as Toronto coach. “DeMar DeRozan has been here through all the whole number of wins.

“We started, as Drake says, at the bottom. We’re not there yet. We started 30th in the league in defence and (did) a lot of building. And we’re still building. Nobody wants to hear that but we’re in the middle of a process of getting to where we need to go and we’re not done.”

Defence helped lead the way Sunday in the 106-87 win over Milwaukee that moved Casey past Sam Mitchell for Toronto coaching wins.

The Bucks, the league’s second-youngest team with an average age of 23.7, turned the ball over 11 times in the first half alone. Jonas Valanciunas scored 19 points and Patrick Patterson added 16 as the Raptors improved to 3-0 out of the blocks for the first time since 2008-09. Milwaukee, meanwhile, is winless in three.

Mitchell, now interim coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, posted his 156 Raptors wins in 345 games from 2004 to 2008. Casey has coached 313 games since taking over in 2011.

“I’m happy for him,” said DeRozan.

“He’s a players’ coach. He’s one of those guys that always keeps you in a positive mindset. When you go out there and play for him, you can’t do

DeRozan and Kyle Lowry finished with 15 points apiece for Toronto before a sellout crowd of 19,800 at the Air Canada Centre. DeRozan, 12-for-32 in his first two games, made his first five

shots and finished 7-for-13.

Milwaukee led 10-7 in the first quarter before Toronto grabbed the lead and never gave it up. The margin was as many as 21 at one point but it was down to 10 going into the final quarter.

After Milwaukee cut the lead to 83-77 early in the fourth, Toronto

reeled off 14 straight points with Terrence Ross and Patterson combining to score the Raptors’ first 19 points of the quarter. Ross, whose 11 points all came in the final quarter, made three three-pointers and Patterson two during that stretch as Toronto’s reserves scored 21 of the team’s 25 points in the fourth.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 20 points.

“There was a lot of good things,” said Milwaukee coach Jason Kidd.

“We played three quarters. Again in the fourth, we just let go of the rope. So we have to get better at that.”

The Raptors kick off a four-game road trip Tuesday in Dallas. Ten of their next 12 games are away from home.

“This road trip’s going to be a bear,” said Casey, acknowledging he is still learning about his team.

“But I like what we have,” he added.

“I like the fight, I like the toughness, I like our defence first and I like the way our offence was moving the ball tonight.”

The contest marked the return of guard Greivis Vasquez, traded to Milwaukee in the off-season. He was greeted with cheers when he came into the game midway through the first quarter. It was a quiet evening for the Venezuelan, who got a hug from Casey when he entered the game and finished with nine points.

“It’s kind of emotional,” Vasquez said.

Milwaukee’s final turnover tally was 18, at a cost of 24 points, as Milwaukee lost its third in a row to open the season for the first time since dropping its first five in 1976-77.

MINOR HOCKEY ROUNDUP Midget AAA The Red Deer Optimist Chiefs capped a productive Alberta Midget Hockey League weekend Sunday with a 4-1 win over the visiting Grande Peace Storm.

Tyrees Goodrunning, Luke Bast, Kobe Scott and Matthew Froehlick scored for the Chiefs, who were assessed 11 of 21 minor penalties. The visitors picked up two misconducts.

Justin Travis made 21 saves for the hosts, who held a 38-22 advantage in shots.

On Saturday, the Optimist Chiefs got two goals from Tyler Graber and a 38-save performance from Dawson Weatherill en route to a 4-1 win over the visiting Sherwood Park Kings.

Landon Siegle and Parker Smyth also tallied for Red Deer, assessed four of seven minor penalties. Each team had 39 shots on net.

Minor midget AAA Steven Arthur made 38 saves in a losing cause as the Red Deer Strata Energy Chiefs fell 5-3 to the visiting Rockyview Raiders Saturday.

Scoring for Strata were Zach Froehlick, Angus Macleod and Elijah Johanson. The Chiefs were outshot 43-36.

Strata Energy lost 5-1 to the host Calgary Bruins Sunday and the Red Deer North Star were 4-3 winners over the host Calgary Blazers Saturday. Details from both games were unavailable.

The Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs extended their winning streak to four games by knocking off the two top teams in the AMMFHL during the weekend.

The Chiefs, with Kirsten Baumgardt and Cassidy Hollman providing the goals and Bailey Knapp stopping 20 shots for the shutout, downed the Rocky Mountain Raiders 2-0 Saturday at De Winton.

On Sunday at the Collicutt Centre, the Chiefs got past the Sherwood Park Fury 2-1 as Breanna Martin and Brandy Stienman scored.

Major bantam Deegan Moffard sniped three goals in a losing cause as the Red Deer Rebels were edged 5-4 by the visiting Rocky Mountain Raiders Sunday.

Caileb Berge also scored for the Rebels, who were assessed three of eight minor penalties. Bretton Park made 31 saves for Red Deer as the shots on goal were 36 apiece.

The Rebels romped past the Southeast Tigers 12-2 Saturday at the Arena as Griffen Ryden recorded a hat trick and Berge and Jace Paarup each produced two goals and one assist.

Moffard and Kyle Gerritts each contributed a goal and four helpers for the winners, who got additional goals off the sticks of Cole Muir, Payton Wright and Walker Stevenson.

The Rebels outshot their guests 5623 at the Arena. Park finished with 21 saves.

Redblacks take over top spot in East

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ottawa Redblacks’ running back William Powell (29) leaps over a tackle during second-half CFL action in Hamilton, Ont., on Sunday.

Redblacks 12 Tiger-Cats 6 HAMILTON — Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris is taking it personally.

The 16-year CFL veteran says Hamilton defensive back Simoni Lawrence “crossed the line” midway through the first quarter when he tackled Burris below the waist after he had released the ball. Burris was playing the game with a knee brace after being injured last week against Winnipeg.

“The bottom line is when you play this game there’s always mutual respect across the league,” said Burris, who’s team defeated the Tiger-Cats 12-6 on Sunday at Tim Hortons Field to take top spot in the CFL East heading into next week’s rematch in Ottawa.

Hamilton (10-7) will need to beat the Redblacks (11-6) by six or more points to finish first in the East and earn the bye into the Eastern final.

“You don’t try to take guys out and there’s no room for that in this game of football,” Burris added. “If that was the case, people could take shots at guys all the time. But for him to be a linebacker and have a chance to run through me in a regular style in football and instead he knows I wear a brace on my leg but for some reason he goes from running through … me and tackling me like any other great football player would, but he chooses to … go straight for my knee.

“Come on now, that’s bush league.

There’s no room for that. I’ve got a family to feed.”

Burris and Lawrence were teammates in Hamilton for one year.

“For a guy to tell you he loves you at the coin toss and then try to take out your career? Come on now, come on,” said Burris. “Don’t tell me you love me and then stab me in the back.”

No penalty was called on the play.

“If Hank wants to act like that … act like a whatever, it’s on him,” said Lawrence.

“I tackled Mike Reilly last week.

He’s outside the box, I am low tackling, I tackle all players low. If you watch film, that is how I tackle.”

The post-game bad blood overshadowed a game that didn’t see one touchdown scored. Ottawa kicker Chris Milo hit field goals from 35, 16, 24 and 30 yards for the Redblacks’ only points.

Hamilton kicker Justin Medlock hit both his field-goal attempts, from 45 and 18 yards.

Ottawa coach Rick Campbell wouldn’t comment on the incident.

He did say he wasn’t comfortable with a six-point lead heading home.

“We’re not comfortable at all,” he said. “They’re a very good football team and we’re going to go and work to get better this week. We have to be at our best to beat them again and we’ll make sure we do that.”

Hamilton head coach Kent Austin said he saw nothing wrong with Lawrence’s hit. But he was visibly upset with the loss.

“We were down in scoring territory a couple of times and we had open receivers,” he said about the game. “We have to make plays.”

He added it is possible they may start Jacory Harris at pivot next week in Ottawa. The Ticats lost starter Zach Collaros to a knee injury in Week 13 and have struggled with rookie Jeff Mathews at the helm.

Scoring was at a premium on another blustery day in front of 24,340 at Tim Hortons Field, and the play rarely left the north half of the field.

Burris completed 17 of 34 pass attempts for 187 yards, one interception and zero TDs. That interception was the only Ottawa turnover.

Mathews completed 20 of 35 pass attempts for 160 yards, two interceptions (one in the end zone and one at the five-yard-line), one fumble and zero TDs. He took a hit with 32 seconds left in the game and was replaced by Harris.

Mathews was sacked six times.

Hamilton only got to Burris once.

Broncos pound Packers to stay unbeaten NFL ROUNDUP

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRONCOS 29 PACKERS 10 DENVER — In only the fourth meeting of teams 6-0 or better, Peyton Manning tied Brett Favre’s NFL record with his 186th regular-season win and Denver rattled Aaron Rodgers into one of the worst games of his career in the Broncos’ 29-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

Wearing the blue jerseys they did in beating the Packers for their first Super Bowl win in 1997, the Broncos piled it on in the fourth quarter, when DeMarcus Ware sacked Rodgers and the ball ended up in the end zone for a safety.

The Broncos improved to 7-0 for the first time since 1998, when they won the Super Bowl after finishing 14-2.

Rodgers was 14 of 22 for just 77 yards for the Packers (6-1) — the lowest of his career in a game where he wasn’t knocked out by injury.

Although neither quarterback threw for a touchdown, Manning was 21 of 29 for 340 yards. The Packers had only 140 yards of total offence to Denver’s 500.

SAINTS 52, GIANTS 49 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees passed for career highs of 511 yards and seven touchdowns, and recently signed Kai Forbath kicked a 50-yard field goal as time ran out, giving New Orleans the victory in a game with a record 13 scoring passes.

Eli Manning connected on a career-high six touchdown passes, three to fellow New Orleans native Odell Beckham Jr., but New York (4-4) fell for the second time in three games.

The 101 points tied for third most in NFL history. The teams combined for 1,030 yards.

Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead each had two touchdown catches for the Saints (4-4), who have won four of five after an 0-3 start. Brees’ other three touchdown passes went to Marques Colston, Ben Watson and C.J. Spiller, the last to tie the score at 49 with 36 seconds left.

The Saints’ defence then forced a Giants punt with 20 seconds to go. Marcus Murphy returned it across the 50 and fumbled, but Snead recovered.

The Giants were flagged for a penalty, setting up the winning kick.

BENGALS 16, STEELERS 10 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger’s return wasn’t enough to prevent the Bengals from getting off to their best start in franchise history.

Andy Dalton threw a touchdown pass with 2:57 to go, and the Bengals picked off Roethlisberger twice in the fourth quarter.

The Bengals are 7-0 for the first time and have a comfortable lead in their division.

The defending AFC North champion Steelers (4-4) hoped Roethlisberger’s return after missing four games with a sprained knee would kick-start them. After leading most of the game, they fall apart in the closing minutes.

Shawn Williams’ diving sideline interception at the Pittsburgh 45-yard line set up Dalton’s 9-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green, who had another big game against the Steelers. He finished with 11 catches for 118 yards.

Reggie Nelson’s second interception set up Mike Nugent’s 44-yard field goal with 1:47 to go. The Steelers drove to the Cincinnati 16-yard line with 4

seconds left, but Roethlisberger’s pass went out of the end zone to finish it.

SEAHAWKS 13, COWBOYS 12 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Russell Wilson had a scoring pass for the game’s only touchdown and directed a late drive to the winning field goal, leading the defending NFC champions (4-4) back to .500 after an 0-2 start.

The Cowboys (2-5) lost their fifth straight without Tony Romo in Dez Bryant’s return from a five-game absence with a broken right foot.

The Seahawks started the decisive drive at their 15, with Wilson converting three third downs capped by a scramble that helped run the clock before Steven Hauschka’s 24-yard field goal with 1:06 remaining.

All of Dallas’ points came on Dan Bailey field goals.

BUCCANEERS 23, FALCONS 20 ATLANTA (AP) — Bouncing back after blowing a 17-point lead, the Bucs got a 31-yard field goal from Connor Barth in the extra period to beat the mistake-prone Falcons.

Matt Ryan tied the game for the Falcons (6-2) on an 8-yard pass to Julio Jones with 17 seconds left in regulation. Having squandered a 24-point edge the previous week at Washington, the Bucs (3-4) were in trouble again.

Instead, Jameis Winston led an impressive drive on the first possession of OT, converting three times on third down before the drive stalled when he short-hopped a pass into the end zone for an open Adam Humphries. Barth made his third field goal of the game.

Atlanta got the ball but didn’t even make it to midfield. On fourth down, Ryan was heavily pressured by Gerald McCoy and Howard Jones, forcing a desperation pass that wasn’t close to anyone.

Despite four turnovers, the Falcons rallied from a 20-3 deficit, benefiting from a highly questionable decision by Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith to go on fourth-and-1 at the Bucs 40 with 2 minutes to go.

CARDINALS 34, BROWNS 20 CLEVELAND (AP) — Carson Palmer threw for four touchdowns, three in the second half, and for 374 yards as Arizona rallied.

Palmer had two TD passes in the third quarter when the Cardinals (6-2) overcame a 20-10 halftime deficit. His third TD of the second half, a 6-yarder to Larry Fitzgerald, gave Arizona a 3120 lead.

Michael Floyd had a 60-yard TD catch and tight end Troy Niklas had two TD receptions as the Cardinals overcame four turnovers and won in Cleveland for the first time since 1985.

The Browns (2-6) dropped their third straight, and cornerback Joe Haden and safety Donte Whitner sustained concussions on consecutive plays in the third quarter Cleveland lost two defenders and the lead in a span of 7:25.

Quarterback Josh McCown had three TD passes. The 36-year-old also played much of the second half in pain after re-injuring his right shoulder and ribs.

VIKINGS 23, BEARS 20 CHICAGO (AP) — Adrian Peterson ran for 103 yards and Blair Walsh kicked a 36-yard field goal as time expired.

The Vikings had dropped seven straight at Soldier Field, and it looked like the streak would reach eight when Jay Cutler rolled to his right and plowed over safety Harrison Smith for

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree (15) runs between tackle attempts by New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie (31) and inside linebacker Demario Davis (56) before scoring on a touchdown reception during the first half of an NFL game in Oakland, Calif., Sunday. a 4-yard touchdown with just under five minutes remaining. But two late scores lifted Minnesota (5-2) to its third straight win.

Stefon Diggs turned a short pass into a 40-yard TD when he spun around Sherrick McManis and went up the left side, tying it with 1:49 left.

After Chicago (2-5) punted, Teddy Bridgewater hit a leaping Charles Johnson for a 35-yard pass that put the ball on the 27. Two plays later Walsh booted the winner, pumping his right arm as the ball went through the uprights.

The Bears (2-5) lost star running back Matt Forte and receiver Eddie Royal to knee injuries while dropping their second straight game.

RAVENS 29, CHARGERS 26 BALTIMORE (AP) — Justin Tucker kicked a 39-yard field goal on the final play. Joe Flacco threw for 319 yards and ran for a score to help Baltimore (2-6) snap a three-game skid and hand the Chargers (2-6) their fourth straight defeat.

The Ravens’ six losses this season have come by a combined 30 points, and their only win before Sunday came in overtime.

Tucker’s fifth field goal came three plays after a third-down pass interference call against Steve Williams moved the ball 21 yards to the San Diego 22.

The victory came at a price: Receiver Steve Smith tore his right Achilles tendon in the third quarter and is lost for the season. After being tackled at the end of an 18-yard gain, the 36-year-old Smith had to be helped off the field and could not put any weight on his right leg.

Now in his 15th NFL season, Smith has said he will retire after this year.

He had five catches for 82 yards before the injury.

San Diego’s Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes and went 28 for 37 for 301 yards, his franchise-record fifth consecutive 300-yard game.

Two of his touchdown passes went to Malcom Floyd, including a 70-yarder.

RAMS 27, 49ERS 6 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Todd Gurley rushed for 133 yards on 20 carries, topping 100 yards for the fourth straight

start to open his career, and the Rams had three sacks and a safety.

Gurley, who had a 71-yard touchdown run, is the first rookie to open his career with four consecutive 100-yard games, according to STATS, with data available since 1991. Tavon Austin caught a 66-yard touchdown pass and ran for a 2-yard score, compensating for an early lost fumble.

The Rams (4-3) are 3-0 against the NFC West for the first time since 2004, and they’re above .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2006.

The St. Louis defence hasn’t allowed a touchdown the last two games, permitting just four field goals.

The 49ers (2-6) were hit hard by injuries, losing Reggie Bush early, and haven’t scored a touchdown in two games. They’ve lost six of seven, are 0-3 in the division and have lost two straight to St. Louis for the first time since 2004.

RAIDERS 34, JETS 20 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Derek Carr threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns to help Oakland pick apart the Jets’ vaunted defence.

Latavius Murray ran for 113 yards, Andre Holmes caught two touchdown passes and Charles Woodson intercepted his league-leading fifth pass of the season to give the Raiders (4-3) their first winning record this late in the season since 2011.

Michael Crabtree had 102 yards receiving and another touchdown, and Taiwan Jones got his first career score on a tackle-breaking 59-yard catchand-run that exposed a New York defence that had been outstanding the first six games.

Ryan Fitzpatrick left with a left hand injury on the opening drive for the Jets (4-3), who have lost two straight games.

TEXANS 20, TITANS 6 HOUSTON (AP) — Brian Hoyer threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns, and Houston tied a franchise record with seven sacks.

A 21-yard touchdown reception by DeAndre Hopkins put Houston on top in the second quarter and the Texans (3-5) didn’t trail after that. Nate Washington’s 42-yard TD catch extended the lead.

“To get one of these early in the season, it feels really good,” said McEwen. “You definitely can’t count on winning a Grand Slam any given year with the quality of teams we play against in these events. Any time you can get one early, you take it.”

Gordon keeps Chase hopes alive TO RACE FOR A FIFTH CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER WINNING DRAMA-FILLED RACE AT MARTINSVILLE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Jeff Gordon earned an automatic berth in NASCAR’s championship race — where he’ll try to win a fifth title in his final season — with a victory Sunday at Martinsville Speedway.

He has Matt Kenseth to thank for his spot in the final four of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Kenseth intentionally wrecked Joey Logano — payback from an incident three races ago — to take the race leader out with 47 laps remaining. Logano had the dominant car, and Kenseth, who was in an earlier wreck with Brad Keselowski, came back on the track 10 laps down and drove Logano into the wall.

Logano had led 207 of the 500 laps and was furious. His father, Tom, had to be pushed into the team hauler by the crew chief as the crowd cheered wildly in support of Kenseth.

Kenseth downplayed the incident, deadpanning it was a result of his earlier incident with Keselowski, who had led 143 laps as the two Team Penske teammates were the class of the field.

Instead of celebrating a win and a spot in the Nov. 22 finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Logano is last in the eight-driver field and Keselowski is sixth.

Gordon, though, is in after his ninth career victory at Martinsville.

“We’re going to Homestead!” he screamed.

The four-time NASCAR champion won for the first time this season and first time in 39 races. It was his 93rd career victory and put him in position to ride into retirement with the long coveted fifth title.

One of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history, he hasn’t won a title since his 2001 championship. He celebrated the win by jumping around the frontstretch like a little boy on Christmas morning, then he jumped into the arms of his exuberant Hendrick Motorsports crew.

As he stood in victory lane, his two young children racing in for hugs, he couldn’t contain his glee.

“It was a joke, I’m coming back next year!” he joked. “This is the sweetest, most amazing feeling.”

He still had to earn the win after Logano was knocked from the race.

Gordon had to chase down AJ Allmendinger and Denny Hamlin on a restart, then hold off Jamie McMurray on a restart with two laps remaining.

There are two races remaining for the rest of the final four to be set, and Logano has a lot of work to do to make it back to the championship for the second year.

He was racing for his fourth consecutive victory, but there was a looming suspicion that Kenseth would get in the way.

Kenseth had been leading in the closing laps three weeks ago at Kansas Speedway when Logano spun him out of the way for the win. Kenseth has been furious since, and was eliminated last week from the Chase.

Logano felt Kenseth’s move was dirty.

“I think what happened at Kansas is a completely different deal. We were racing for the win and he blocks you a few times and then we raced hard and he blocked me the last time and we spun out,” Logano said. “Here it was just a complete coward move, especially for a championship race car driver and race team. Just a complete

Jeff Gordon celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va., Sunday. coward. I don’t have anything else to say. It’s a chicken-you-know-what move to completely take out the leader when your race is over.”

The two drivers have not talked since Kansas, and even though they were in the care centre together after the accident, there was no conversation.

“They won’t let me get to him,” Logano said of NASCAR. Kenseth tried hard to dismiss Sunday’s accident as a byproduct of earlier contact with Keselowski — a wreck

that sent both Kenseth and Keselowski to the garage. But he was summoned to the NASCAR hauler after the race for a meeting that his crew chief and car owner Joe Gibbs attended.

Kenseth eventually revealed why the wreck happened at Martinsville, the first of three races to set the championship field.

“He’s got a couple races left, he’s got the best car, he might get a couple of wins here and still have a shot at it,” Kenseth said. He also indicated that payback had to be done.

Patrick Chan skates during the gala event at Skate Canada International in Lethbridge, on Sunday.

Chan’s comeback didn’t come easy in emotional rollercoaster

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LETHBRIDGE — He may be a three-time world champion, but there was little about his comeback that came easy for Patrick Chan.

Uncertainty nagged at him all summer, right up until the moment he stepped onto the ice Saturday night.

And the morning after he made his return to competition with a massive exclamation mark, winning Skate Canada International, the 24-year-old talked about the past few roller-coaster months.

“A lot of frustrating weeks and days,” Chan said. “There were times I would tell Kathy (Johnston, his coach), I’d just get off the ice, and be like ‘I don’t want to do this. Screw this. I don’t want to do it.”’

Chan walked away from competition after the Sochi Olympics, where he won silver. But a few months into his hiatus, he began missing the sport, its camaraderie and the day to day routine.

But regaining his big jumps — the quad and triple Axel — was tough.

Other than fooling around in practice on show tours, he hadn’t done a serious quad in more than six months. His body had changed, he was a good 10 pounds heavier than when he’d competed.

Then there was that familiar weight of expectations.

“We’d talk and I’d say ‘You can always walk away, nobody is forcing you to do this. Why do you want to come back?’ and it was always for the right reasons,” Johnston said.

“We got through it.”

But between the six-minute warmup at the Enmax Centre on Saturday night and the moment he had to perform, Chan had a tearful emotional meltdown. The weight of the moment, he said, was overwhelming.

“Kathy and I were talking, I’m like ‘Why did I make this choice? Why do I make myself do this? Why do I fear competing so much, and why do I put myself in such an uncomfortable position?”

He laid down for a few minutes with his legs propped against the wall. And after a pep talk from Johnston, he went out and performed a beautiful long program to Chopin, opening with a huge quad-triple combo, followed by a textbook triple Axel.

He tripled his second planned quad, but it was the only blip on a program that saw him score huge marks across the board.

When the music ended, he buried his face in his hands.

“I got overwhelmed with emotions,” he said.

“I felt like I owed people something, felt like I wanted to prove something to people, that I’m back and I wanted to skate well for them.

“Maybe breaking down into tears kind of opened up that path to letting go of all the pressure. I really did feel a lot lighter mentally going into the long, having let out all those emotions and realizing, ‘Alright, I’m just going to go out and do what feels good.”’

His victory capped a triple gold medal performance for the Canadian team. Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje won the ice dance, and Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford captured the pairs title.

TURKEY DINNER FOR CHRISTMAS

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Justin Thomas overcame a double bogey on the 14th and some nervous moments on the final hole Sunday to win the CIMB Classic for his first PGA Tour title.

The 22-year-old American holed a 6-foot par putt on the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory over Australian star Adam Scott. Thomas shot a 6-under 66 for a tournament-record 26-under 262 total at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.

Thomas, who had a course-record 61 in the second round, seemed to have blown his chances when he hit into the water at 14, but immediately rallied with three consecutive birdies to take the outright lead.

Scott, playing two groups ahead, had an eagle and seven birdies in his closing 63.

Thomas led by a stroke coming to the par-5 final hole, which he had birdied on Saturday, but the required par did not come easily. He drove right of the fairway and his approach found the bunker short of the green. He blasted out to 20 feet, raced his first putt past the hole and holed the comebacker for the breakthrough victory.

“I still can’t believe what happened,” Thomas said. “I made that par to clinch the title. “I don’t care how I got it done, it just feels awesome.”

David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., was the top Canadian, shooting a final round of 68 to finish in a tie for 29th.

Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., (68) finished tied for 47th while Toronto native Richard T. Lee (77) tied for 75th.

Thomas, a close friend of second-ranked Jordan Spieth, continued the early season trend of players in their early 20s claiming their first PGA Tour victories, after Emiliano Grillo at Silverado and Smylie Kaufman in Las Vegas.

The former Alabama star from Kentucky said he had been struggling with downhill lies, and that’s what caused the double bogey at 14.

“I had a big body of water in front of the green, but I told myself I’ve been controlling the tournament so I should not worry too much,” Thomas said. “I knew I had four more holes to try to make some more birdies and was fortunate enough get birdies in three of the last four holes.”

Scott had a shot at eagle on the last, but the putt was well off target, and that cost him a chance of forcing a playoff.

“Look, 35-footers breaking 4 feet are not gimmes. I threw everything I could at it today. I’m playing well, and that’s nice, because I haven’t played that well for a while,” Scott said.

He was aiming to take his form in Malaysia into next week’s World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions in China.

“It’s motivating for sure. I want to get up there and play and show them that the old dog’s still got something,” Scott said.

American Kevin Na and Brendan Steele tied for third at 24-under. Na had a 67, and Steele shot 68.

Na lipped out short putts at 16 and 17. He lost a playoff at Silverado and tied for second in Las Vegas in the previous two events. He also tied for second last year in Malaysia.

Crusade of costumes Medieval Fair Story and photos by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate staff As ghosts, goblins and ghouls patrolled the streets Halloween night, heroes, princesses - and even a few villains- found safe haven, adventure and fun indoors.

The Collicutt Centre played host to the annual Medieval Fair, an activity-filled costume party geared towards younger children and families as an alternative to the usual trickor-treating.

Hundreds of kids burned off energy running, jumping and sliding their way through a large assortment of bouncy castles and obstacles courses throughout the field house and soccer pavilion. Superheroes and their would-be enemies tested their strength against each other during a pedestal joust, while others tried their hand at mini sticks floor hockey, skyball, and a bungee run.

Rock climbing, swimming, and ice skating were also available for families, as well as facepainting, sparkle tattoos, colouring and crafts.

As the night began to wind down, attendees had a chance to explore space by taking in a planetarium show.

Candy bags were given out to the first 500 kids.

Children make their way through a bouncy castle obstacle course during the 2015 Medieval Fair at the Collicutt Centre on Saturday evening.

Bombardier not done with transformation

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The $1-billion lifeline Bombardier is getting from the Quebec government will go a long way toward helping the troubled plane and train maker, but it’s just one of several initiatives aimed at shoring up the company’s financial position, says chief executive Alain Bellemare.

In addition to working on the sale of a minority stake in its railway division (which analysts estimate would bring in US$1 billion to US$2 billion), the company is considering other strategic options, including the sale of noncore assets and exploring ways to trim costs from programs like the Q400 turboprop.

Bellemare was loathe to provide details about what is being considered, including whether joint ventures like the CSeries deal with the province are contemplated for other programs.

The CEO said he’s “super sensitive”

about discussing options after “very unfortunate leaks” of the company’s approach to Airbus about selling a stake in the CSeries.

“I will continue to look at strategic options across the board. We will continue to look and they need to make good business sense and create value for customers and for shareholders,” he said in an interview in the company’s downtown Montreal boardroom.

Reports suggest the company approached the federal government for at least $350 million in assistance.

The new Liberal government said it will consider the request after it is sworn into office on Wednesday.

Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) says it will focus on making its programs more competitive by cutting costs. He pointed to efforts that were rejected by its Toronto unionized employees that would see the manufacture of some parts for the Q400 moved to low-cost countries like Mexico or China.

North America with customers like WestJet Encore, Porter Airlines and Air Canada, it is too pricey for markets like Asia. Rival ATR dominates while Bombardier’s market share is just 25 per cent.

LCBO ordered to destroy personal information INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM WINE, BEER AND SPIRIT CLUB MEMBERS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is destroying the personal information of wine, beer and spirit club members that the privacy commissioner said it was wrong to collect — but only after putting up a legal fight that cost more than a quarter of a million dollars.

Now the LCBO is in the process of winding down its wine club program, which allowed enthusiasts belonging to those clubs to buy products that aren’t normally available at the LCBO and to get volume discounts.

The Vin de Garde wine club complained to Ontario’s Information and Privacy Commissioner in 2012 that the LCBO had started requiring more information beyond members’ names and addresses, now including the precise details and quantities of their orders.

The wine club members worried that the LCBO was collecting and tracking their consumption habits, noting that people buy alcohol anonymously in LCBO retail outlets every day.

Consumption was not being tracked, the LCBO said, but it needed the information to process the orders, to be able to recall products and to detect fraud. The LCBO was concerned the wine clubs could stockpile alcohol and illegally resell it.

The LCBO gave evidence of 12 companies that were charged with such violations, but none of those examples was a wine club, the privacy commissioner said.

“The LCBO has not provided my office with much more than anecdotal or hypothetical evidence to support its position that the illegal resale of liquor by wine clubs in this province is so problematic that it necessitates the collection of the personal information of club members,” wrote then-privacy commissioner Ann Cavoukian.

Further, the LCBO had managed to process the club’s orders since 2004 before requiring the personal information, Cavoukian noted.

She ruled that the information collection violated the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, ordering the LCBO to stop collecting it and to destroy what it already had.

The LCBO spent at least $269,845 fighting the order over three years,

key is to offset the transfer of work with research and development and higher-value jobs.

Analysts expect Bombardier will have enough cash to fund its programs in the coming few years, but hope to see detailed plans at the Nov. 24 investor day about improving margins.

“Solidifying the CSeries is important, but better margin and cash performance from the other business segments are also critical to support a higher valuation in the stock,” wrote Cameron Doerksen of National Bank Financial.

Seth Seifman of JP Morgan called the deal with Quebec a “meaningful” step forward, but only one of many that is required. He said the key will be getting orders from blue chip customers, including United Airlines, which is reportedly looking at ordering 100-seat aircraft if pilots approve a new contract.

Bombardier shares were up nine cents or 6.77 per cent at $1.42 Friday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

BRIEF Hydro One closes $46 million purchase of Woodstock Hydro Holdings TORONTO — Hydro One Inc. has announced the closing of its $46.2 million purchase of Woodstock Hydro Holdings Inc., including its whollyowned subsidiary Woodstock Hydro Services Inc. Hydro One says in a release issued Saturday morning that the purchase price includes the assumption of Woodstock Hydro’s existing debt of approximately $17 million.

The sale was approved by the Ontario Energy Board on September 11.

Under terms of the deal Woodstock Hydro’s approximately 15,800 customers will see a 1 per cent reduction in their monthly distribution delivery rates effective October 31, 2015. Rates will also be frozen for the next five years.

Woodstock Hydro will operate as usual until the transition to Hydro One is complete, in 2016.

This includes no changes to customer account numbers, bills, billing and payment and service options.

Kelly Barron is photographed at the LCBO store on Queens Quay in Toronto in 2012. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is destroying the personal information of wine, beer and spirit club members that the privacy commissioner said it was wrong to collect. according to figures disclosed to The Canadian Press through a Freedom of Information request.

The only circumstance in which the commissioner said the LCBO could collect that information is when a wine club member picked up a purchase in person, so the LCBO could confirm that the person picking up the order was the person who placed the order.

A month following the privacy commissioner’s 2013 decision the LCBO decided to only allow wine club purchases to be picked up in person.

No more deliveries, which is what Vin de Garde’s lawyer said was part of the appeal of wine clubs.

“They flouted the order,” said Arnold Schwisberg.

“What happened as a result of this so-called temporary manoeuvre in

2013, it gutted the wine (club) industry.”

Vin de Garde closed and according to the LCBO, there are 31 registered wine, spirits and beer clubs — the exact same number as in 2012.

The LCBO said the process is working well and the agency serves members of several wine clubs that way.

But starting next year, due to a change in private ordering software at the LCBO, it will require anyone purchasing alcohol on behalf of a wine club to get a Manufacturers’ Representative Licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, said spokeswoman Christine Bujold.

The privacy commissioner, in the reconsideration order, refers to that policy as “a decision to wind down the wine club program.”

Honda recalling some 2016 CR-V SUVs to replace Takata air bags that could rupture in crash WASHINGTON — Honda is recalling some 2016 CR-V SUVs to replace Takata air bags that could rupture in a crash and send metal fragments flying.

The recall affects 515 of the small sport utility vehicles, and Honda says only 30 were sold before dealers were told to stop sales.

It’s the latest safety problem with air bags made by Japanese supplier Takata.

Federal officials have said eight people have died and 98 others have been injured by air bag inflators that explode with too much force, sending shrapnel into car occupants.

Recalls have covered about 19 million cars made by 12 different manufacturers.

Honda says the defect covered by the new recall appears to be different from previous defects, but still could result in metal fragments hitting the driver or passengers.

Insurance for life’s unforeseen events Unforeseen events such as loss of a job, a disabling illness or accident, and death, are part of life. Canadians recognize the importance of insurance in helping them prepare for and manage the unexpected, but many either are under-insured or have no insurance at all.

In fact, ownership of life insurance is at its TALBOT lowest level in BOGGS 30 years.

According to MONEYWISE a recent study

by BMO Wealth Institute, two thirds of Canadians admit they would have difficulty meeting their everyday living expenses immediately or within a few months if their income was cut off due to unemployment, illness or disability. Fifty-one per cent are concerned about the well-being of their families if they were to die suddenly and only 16 per cent feel they have a good understanding of insurance products that are appropriate to their stage in life.

“The insurance that people take really should be dictated by their goals at the various stages of their lives,” says Rocco Casullo, head of directto-consumer insurance with BMO Insurance. “As life transitions it’s important to recognize what you want your insurance to do for you.”

BMO suggests people consider taking the following types of insurance at the four main stages of life – starting out, settling down, mid-life and retirement.

The best time to buy insurance is as soon as you can afford it because youth and good health are the main drivers of costs and options. Life insurance protects the personal and financial goals that young people are working to build. It lays down the foundation for the protection of future loved ones and will provide a tax-free cash lump sum to beneficiaries to use however they want.

Critical illness insurance pays a lump sum upon diagnoses of a serious illness such as cancer or heart disease requiring surgery. It can be purchased on its own or added to a life policy or group plan and allows the insured to decide how to spend the cash benefits – medical bills, caregivers, living expenses or other needs.

Accident insurance can cover outof-pocket expenses if the insured is

hospitalized as well as medical bills or related expenses not covered by provincial health care plans. Travel insurance provides coverage in case a trip is cancelled by a medical emergency, lost baggage or flight delays as well as accidents or illness that might occur on the trip.

As you settle down in life with a partner, raise a family and buy a home, responsibilities increase. Beneficiaries, usually a partner, child or other relative, can use the proceeds from life insurance for funeral costs, to settle outstanding debt and replace income of the deceased to cover living expenses. Critical illness and disability insurance become important for singles and people with families who are dependent on their own ability to earn an income while creditor insurance will pay off an outstanding credit balance or makes/postpones payments in the case of death, disability, illness or job loss.

In mid-life as the family matures and children leave home, life, critical illness and long-term care insurance become important. Some life insurance plans offer both insurance and investing benefits, providing the opportunity to tax efficiently accumulate and transfer wealth to the next generation.

While disability insurance replac-

es lost income, a lump sum payment from critical illness insurance can provide funds for other expenses that may arise such as home renovations, out-ofcountry medical care, home care and physiotherapy. Long-term care insurance provides monthly lump sum payments to be used by the insured should they lose the ability to perform two of the five normal daily living activities – feeding, dressing, bathing, grooming and continence.

Insurance again needs to be reviewed in retirement. Life insurance can cover debt obligations and maintain the standard of living for a surviving spouse, medical insurance can pay for expenses not covered by group or provincial plans, life annuities and segregated funds can help create and sustain a steady source of income in retirement, and travel insurance can protect against medical treatment away from home.

“Insurance can be complicated and a financial adviser can help walk you through the options to ensure you have the policies that are right for you at your stage in life,” Casullo says.

Hole in Greek banks’ finances smaller than feared

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FRANKFURT — The European Central Bank says Greece’s battered banks need 14.4 billion euros ($15.8 billion) in fresh money to get back on their feet and resume normal business.

The figure announced Saturday is the result of an ECB review of Greece’s four main banks following an agreement on the troubled country’s third bailout: 86 billion euros ($94.6 billion) from other eurozone governments in August. The review is an important step toward ending limits on bank customer withdrawals and transfers that continue to hamper businesses as the Greek economy struggles to recover.

The banks — Alpha Bank, Eurobank, National Bank of Greece and Piraeus Bank — now must submit plans to raise the money to boost their capital buffers against future financial turmoil and losses. Part of that capital could come from private investors what can’t be raised from investors would come from bailout funds.

The financial hole the ECB found is smaller than originally feared. The bailout provided for up to 25 billion euros ($27.5 billion) to fix the banks.

Greece is racing to bail out the banks before year end, when new European bank bailout rules take effect that would require seizing deposits over the 100,000-euro ($110,000) limit on deposit insurance. That would sting big depositors such as small and medium sized businesses, which are

A bill allowing the recapitalization of banks was passed by voice vote in Greece’s Parliament Saturday.

The extreme right Golden Dawn and the Communist Party were the only dissenters in the eight-party legislature.

Deputy Prime Minister Yiannis Dragasakis said passage of the bill would avert seizure of deposits.

Greek finance minister Euclid Tsakalotos said that bank recapitalization and a viable solution to non-performing loans will both happen before the end of the year.

Tsakalotos told Parliament that the country’s Financial Stabilization Fund will obtain common bank shares, with voting rights.

“We would like to influence the banks’ policies, so that they do not invest in high-risk instruments. We do not want to influence top management appointments or to whom they should provide loans,” he said.

The ECB found the banks would need 4.4 billion euros under normal expectations and 14.4 billion euros if there is a more severe downturn in the Greek economy.

Greek banks have already been bailed out under Greece’s earlier bailout deals. But they suffered further losses as the country headed toward a third bailout this summer. The number of business loans not being repaid increased as the economy deteriorated and investors fled. Depositors pulled out money fearing that Greece would be forced to leave the euro and leave them with a new currency worth much less. The bailout deal staved off an exit from Europe’s shared euro currency.

But limits on withdrawals and transfers imposed in June to prevent Greek banks from collapsing remain in place, though they have been loosened.

Five things to watch for in Canadian business this week

Defying currency critics, Africa’s biggest economy chokes growth

BY PAUL WALLACE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE LAGOS, Nigeria - Nigeria’s economy is growing at the slowest pace this decade as oil prices drop. Companies are complaining they can’t get the dollars they need to do business. And trading in the naira has long since dried up.

There are many good reasons why Godwin Emefiele, who runs the central bank of Africa’s biggest economy, should lift currency controls and let the naira depreciate. One of the things holding him back is politics. Devaluing the naira may give opposition parties the opportunity to claim that Emefiele’s main supporter, President Muhammadu Buhari, has lost control of the economy. With his backing, the policy chief will be able to resist his critics into 2016 before the worsening economic slump eventually forces him to capitulate, according to Standard Chartered and Bank of America.

“They could probably hold out for at least six months, maybe even a year,” said Ayodele Salami, chief investment officer for London-based Duet Asset Management, which manages about $200 million of African equities.

“The central bank has chosen currency stability and the price they’re paying for that is growth. They could hold the line for a lot longer than the markets expect.”

Africa’s top oil producer introduced curbs on buying foreign-exchange from late 2014 in a bid to prop up the naira as prices for crude, the source of twothirds of government revenue and 90 percent of export earnings, plummeted. These measures have all but fixed the exchange rate at 198-199 per dollar since March, even as other oil exporters from Russia to Colombia and Malaysia have let their currencies slide.

Barclays and HSBC Holdings still think the central bank will be forced to weaken the naira to between 220 and 230 before the end of 2015.

The International Monetary Fund says the currency measures are detrimental to Nigeria, where growth slowed to 2.35 percent on an annualized basis in the second quarter. Former central bank Governor Muhammadu Sanusi II said last week his successor was “in denial” if he thought he

D I L B E R T

could continue propping up the naira.

Former general Buhari, who took office as president in May, acted to stabilize the naira when he ruled Nigeria in the 1980s, and since coming to power this time around has said a devaluation wouldn’t be “healthy.” The government put out a statement late Thursday reiterating its opposition to debasing the naira. Emefiele has also warned a devaluation would stoke inflation.

“The central bank governor is doing what he thinks the president wants,” David McIlroy, chief investment officer at Alquity Investment Management, which oversees $100 million of frontier market stocks and is put off buying more Nigerian shares until the currency weakens, said.

Strategists who earlier this year cut their naira forecasts on expectations Emefiele would capitulate have pushed them back up. The median year-end estimate in a Bloomberg survey fell to as low as 230 per dollar in May and has since been increased to 200. While companies including Dangote Cement, the country’s largest publicly traded stock, and Sahara Group, a power plant operator, have complained that they are struggling to pay for imports, Buhari insists the central bank is provides “legitimate businesses” all the dollars they need.

The authorities’ position is bolstered by foreign reserves that equate to almost six months of imports, double the IMF’s recommendation, and giving authorities enough firepower to defend the naira.

The exclusion of the country’s bonds from JPMorgan Chase’s local-currency emerging-market indexes last month has also given Emefiele less incentive to keep portfolio investors on side. They’re already fleeing Nigeria, with foreign holdings of naira government debt falling to less than 10 percent of the total from 27 percent in 2013, according to Standard Chartered.

The London-based earns most of its income from emerging markets.

“There’s enough room to maintain the current regime for now,” said Samir Gadio, head of African strategy at Standard Chartered in London, which in September changed its endof-year forecast for the naira to 200 from 222.

French president hopes to give a push to climate talks during state visit to China PARIS — French President Francois Hollande hopes to use a state visit to China to boost difficult climate negotiations a month before a U.N. conference in Paris aimed at slowing global warming.

China, the most populous country and the biggest emitter of climate-warming greenhouse gases in the world, has promised it will try to cap its rising emissions before 2030 as part of its national pledge ahead of the Paris conference.

Hollande says he intends to launch a bilateral appeal with Chinese President Xi Jinping “to make the climate conference a success.” France is notably trying to get China’s approval of a mechanism that would require countries to step up their emissions cuts over time. This would be “a key” to success of the U.N. climate talks,

a French diplomatic official said, because the current national pledges won’t be enough to achieve the goal of keeping the rise in global temperatures below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) between pre-industrial times and the end of the century.

China has “a leading role” in influencing other developing countries on this issue, the diplomat said. France is proposing to update those emissions targets automatically every five years, but the rules have yet to be defined.

The official spoke anonymously because discussions on the content of the French-Chinese bilateral declaration were still ongoing. On Monday, the French president will visit Chongqing in southwest China, where he’ll see examples of the country’s efforts toward more environmentally friendly technologies. Later in the day, he’ll be heading to Beijing to meet with the Chinese president. On Tuesday, Hollande will meet with Prime Minister Li Keqiang and they will speak to a French-Chinese economic forum on green growth. Hollande will then go to South Korea for a one-day visit.

TORONTO — Five things to watch in Canadian business this week: China missions: Premier Christy Clark of B.C. and Kathleen Wynne, her Ontario counterpart, both visit China next week as they try to foster stronger trade relationships with the Asian giant. Chinese leaders recently committed to doubling the size of the economy by 2020 from 2010 levels — and both premiers will be seeking to capitalize on those growth ambitions.

Earnings mania: It’s another big week for corporate earnings. Among companies reporting are SNC-Lavalin, Torstar, Quebecor, BCE, Telus, WestJet, Air Canada and TransCanada.

Hydro One IPO: Shares of Hydro One are expected to go on sale on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Thursday at $20.50 each. The Ontario government’s plan to sell 60 per cent of the transmission utility in the hopes of raising $1.66 billion from the sale of the shares has triggered waves of con-

troversy.

Wynne has said revenue the sale will generate is needed to fund transit and infrastructure projects, but the province’s budget watchdog has warned it could drive Ontario further into debt in the long run.

Jobs report: On Friday, Statistics Canada will release its eagerly anticipated labour force survey for October. At last check in September, the country’s unemployment rate was 7.1 per cent — the highest it’s been since February 2014 — despite the economy adding 12,000 jobs.

BlackBerry: BlackBerry releases its first device to run on the Android operating system on Friday, as the Waterloo, Ont.,-based company attempts to regain some of its dwindling share of the smartphone market.

The BlackBerry Priv, named for its “privacy” features, could mark the company’s final phone if sales of the device fail to live up to expectations and lift its money-losing hardware business above the break-even point.

Push on for more medical devices for children

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Improvise isn’t a word parents want to hear from their kid’s doctor. Yet pediatric specialists too often have to jury-rig care because many of the medical devices needed to treat sick children were built for adults.

Part of the problem is size.

Doctors fixed Alice de Pooter’s faltering heartbeat by wedging an adult pacemaker into a baby’s body. But the device’s large battery bulged so badly under her rib cage that she struggled to sit upright until her first birthday.

It’s also an engineering problem.

Children aren’t just miniature adults their bodies are growing and changing.

When adult devices haven’t been formally studied in children, using them in youngsters can raise safety questions.

“It affects patient care. We need to find a resolution,” Dr. Matthew Oetgen, chief of orthopedic surgery and sports medicine at Children’s National Health System, said at a recent grants competition that the Washington hospital hosted to help spur development of innovative pediatric devices.

There’s little financial incentive to create and test pint-sized devices because children overall are healthier than adults and make up a fraction of the treatment market.

But families are starting to demand solutions.

A birth defect left Miyah Williams with one leg missing at midthigh. The prosthetic leg she received as a toddler came with such a painful, sweatand sore-inducing socket — a rigid cup connecting the leg to her thigh — that she refused to wear it. Her mother eventually found a small San Francisco company willing to design a softer, adjustable socket able to grow some as Miyah does.

Miyah, now 3, dances to show off a leg finally comfortable enough to wear all day.

“She told them earlier today that her bone no longer hurts,” Tamara Williams of Fayetteville, North Carolina, said of manufacturer LIM Innovations. “They made her a socket that changed her life.”

The industry acknowledges medical devices designed specifically for children often lag five years to 10 years

behind new technology for adults, and Food and Drug Administration statistics illustrate the disparity. In 2013, eight of the 38 novel or higher-risk devices FDA approved were labeled for use by patients younger than 22. In 2014, six of 33 such device approvals were for pediatric use so were two devices for rare disorders allowed to sell under a special fast-tracking program.

Consider pacemakers. Children account for only about 1 per cent of pacemaker implants, said Dr. Charles Berul, co-director of Children’s National Heart Institute. Adult pacemakers such as the biventricular version implanted into Alice de Pooter when she was 4 months old can save lives, but improvising has drawbacks, he said.

Adults typically have a pacemaker’s electrical leads, or wires, easily threaded into the heart through a vein, but babies require open-chest surgery attaching them to the outside of the heart, explained Berul, Alice’s longtime cardiologist. Faster child heartbeats wear out the batteries more rapidly, and the leads can stretch out of place as tots grow.

Now 3 and living near Houston, Alice has a well-functioning heart and while the battery’s outline remains visible in her belly, “she’s running and happy,” said her mother, Charlotte Vanheusden.

Manufacturers are developing a tiny wireless pacemaker for adults. If it works, Berul hopes eventually that could be adapted for children, too.

Meanwhile, he’s developing a less invasive way to place today’s wires in tots, with aid from a tiny camera normally used in the urinary tract.

It’s an example of partnerships between doctors and bioengineers that are springing up at numerous children’s hospitals and universities, sparked in part by 2007 legislation establishing an FDA program with a small budget to help fund early pediatric device development. This year, FDA awarded $3.5 million to eight such consortia around the country.

Some experts argue more far-reaching incentives are needed, such as tax credits and patent exclusivity that in recent years have spurred an increase in medications for rare diseases.

Another incentive: Make a device that works first in kids, and “absolutely there will be benefit for the adult population.

Russia to double HIV spending

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — Russia will double its spending on HIV care and prevention next year in the face of a growing epidemic, the country’s health minister announced on Friday.

Veronika Skvortsova earlier this week raised the alarm about the HIV epidemic in Russia, saying that it would spiral out of control by the end of decade if the funding for treatment is not raised. She said that with the current funding the government can provide care for less than a quarter of HIV-positive patients in Russia.

Skvortsova said on Friday that the Russian budget will allocate more than $600 million next year to double this year’s spending. Some of the fund-

ing, according to Skvortsova, will go to NGOs who help to raise HIV awareness in Russia.

HIV treatment became less affordable in Russia after a number of NGOs had to suspend their operations in order to comply with a Russian law clamping down on organizations receiving foreign funding. The 2012 foreign agents law imposed severe penalties on recipients of foreign grants engaged in loosely defined political activities. Victims of the backlash were as varied as environmental activists and NGOs helping HIV patients.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev earlier this week said the number of HIV-positive Russians grows by 10 per cent every year. It is expected to hit 1 million by the end of the year.

Diagnosis gap closing between black and white women Again, researchers aren’t exactly sure why, though they note that higher proportions of black women are diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer and with a particularly aggressive form of the disease.

Also, in the South at least, black women tend to have more additional health problems at the time they’re diagnosed, Martin said.

NEW YORK — For decades, breast cancer has been less common in black women than white women, yet killed black women at a higher rate.

One of those gaps has finally closed.

Unfortunately for black women, it’s the first one.

A new report suggests black and white women are now being diagnosed with breast cancer at the same rate, because diagnoses have grown more common in black women while the white rate has levelled off.

Meanwhile, the death gap actually widened.

“It’s a terrible situation” for black women, said the lead author of the new report, Carol DeSantis of the American Cancer Society.

The article was published electronically Thursday in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.

The findings are based in part on historical data from cancer case registries in nine parts of the country. Together, the areas represent about 9 per cent of U.S. population.

In 2012, the black and white rates converged at around 135 cases per 100,000 women, the researchers found.

A decade earlier, the white rate was 132 and the black rate down at 124.

Experts think white women have had higher rates for several reasons.

One is more white women waited longer in life until they have children, and science suggests earlier childbirth is associated with a lower risk of developing breast cancer later on.

But while the white rate levelled off, the black rate continued to creep up. Researchers don’t exactly know why.

Stepped-up screening in some parts of the country may be a factor. But the researchers say the leading theory has to do with obesity.

In older women, being obese is tied to a higher risk of developing breast cancer. And obesity rates are higher in black women and have been rising more dramatically.

The researchers looked at other data and saw seven states where black women had higher rates of newly diagnosed breast cancer than white women. Nearly all were in the South, where obesity rates are particularly high.

“I think (the obesity theory) makes sense,” said Michelle Martin, a breast cancer researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She was not involved in the study.

As for breast cancer deaths rates, the good news is they’ve been falling for both black and white women, most likely due to earlier diagnosis and better treatment.

But the white death rate has long been lower, and it’s been falling for a

longer time and at a steeper rate.

Over a decade, the white breast cancer death rate fell from about 25 to 21 per 100,000. The black death rate dropped from about 34 to 29 per 100,000.

In other words, there was a 38 per cent difference between white and black death rate in 2003, and a 42 per cent difference in 2012.

Awash in a riot of tropical feathers, draped in endless stands of eye-popping beads and topped off by headdresses that look like they deserve their own zip codes, host city Palmas has earned itself the title of world fashion capital â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least for the nine-days of the event.

Eyes dart from the Bolivian women in their bowler hats, to dancers from Canada in buttery suede dresses hung with jangling metal ornaments, and come to rest finally on the Amazon-dwelling Kamayura men whose headdresses look like giant spider webs made out of feathers.

The towering Mohawk is made from a dear tail, the feathers of a teenage eagle and ethically extracted porcupine hair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plucked, he assured, from a live animal which wanders away after the process, dignity bruised but body intact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally it stands up really straight,â&#x20AC;? said Oksasikewiyin, a 46-year-old schoolteacher of the Nehiyaw people of Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so humid here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite droopy.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indigenous participants who are getting in on the sartorial action.

Non-indigenous spectators, most of them residents of sleepy Palmas, lined up to get temporary tattoos like the head-to-toe designs many Brazilian indigenous people use.

Made with inky dye extracted from the jenipapo fruit, the tattoos were applied with little twigs for $1.25-$2.50 a pop.

While most people were content to small designs on their triceps or calves, a bold few took the plunge, stripping down to their underwear to get whole-body paint jobs or even intricate webs all over their faces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It only lasts maximum one week,â&#x20AC;? Rivaldo Warinmytygi, of Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tapirape people, reassured one would-be customer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it goes away even faster if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking three baths a day.â&#x20AC;?

Which, with temperatures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit) during the first few days of the Games, you just might.

Headdresses have proven another popular product among the indigenous vendors hawking everything from so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;nose whistlesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; little wooden contraptions that fit over nose and mouth to emit convincing bird calls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to an almost lifesized broad-snouted caiman made from an artfully burned tree trunk. Among the local teenage girls, headdresses made out of macaw feathers were the must-have accessory.

Inspectors from Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildlife protection agency were at the games, handing out pamphlets in an attempt to combat the practice of killing as many as eight birds to make a single headdress.

While Brazilian law allows indigenous people to use clothing and accessories made from wild animal parts, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re forbidden from selling them.

Still, the threat of fines up to $1,250 and possible jail time for the buyer appeared to do little to dampen the enthusiasm for feather headdresses.

Who will own this year’s CMA Awards?

PREDICTION

BY MESFIN FEKADU AND KRISTIN M. HALL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE — Miranda Lambert made history at last year’s Country Music Association Awards when she became the most decorated female in the show’s history with 11 honours.

The singer, who won her second Grammy earlier this year, has a chance to add more CMA wins to her resume when the show airs live Nov. 4 from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

She also has a chance to win entertainer of the year, an honour that male singers have owned for 12 of the last 14 years. (Taylor Swift won in 2009 and 2011.)

But Lambert has some stiff competition, and we don’t predict that she’ll walk away as the night’s bigger winner.

ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR: Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert.

FEKADU: When Luke Bryan FINALLY won his first CMA last year — for entertainer of the year — Garth Brooks presented him with the award.

Now, they’re the top competitors for the honour. But Bryan will have to bow down — hopefully it won’t be too hard in those skintight jeans — to the country veteran because Brooks and his giant cowboy hat are going home with this trophy.

HALL: My gut says Brooks, but my head says Chesney. Both stars are tied in this category with four wins apiece, and both have been breaking records for touring. Chesney has an advantage because he’s had four singles from his latest album, while Brooks has struggled at radio. While country music

loves a comeback story, CMA voters may consider Chesney an all-around winner.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR: Old Boots, New Dirt, Jason Aldean Pageant Material, Kacey Musgraves Pain Killer, Little Big Town The Big Revival, Kenny Chesney Traveller, Chris Stapleton.

HALL: There’s a clear theme of retro country and cool vibes in this year’s album nominations. Musgraves’ and Stapleton’s records appeal to people who don’t listen to country radio and have made a lot of critics’ top picks, but Little Big Town is likely to come out ahead in this close contest. The Grammy-winning vocal group hit the right groove with superhot Nashville producer Jay Joyce once again to deliver songs that feel like that buzz after a stiff drink.

FEKADU: Little Big Town is a strong contender, as is Chris Stapleton, but after being passed over for a few years now, I think it’s time the CMAs reward Jason Aldean for consistently kicking butt on the charts, on the radio and in concert. Plus, his Old Boots, New Dirt is the only album here to sell over 1 million copies.

SINGLE OF THE YEAR: American Kids, Kenny Chesney Girl Crush, Little Big Town I Don’t Dance, Lee Brice Take Your Time, Sam Hunt Talladega, Eric Church.

FEKADU: If Hunt weren’t so new, I’d say he would have a good shot at taking home this award. But Little Big Town provided one of the year’s best songs regardless of genre with Girl Crush. The controversy the song received from some country stations only brought more ears to the slow groove, which will likely earn top bids at the Grammy Awards when the nominations are announced in December.

HALL: You want to talk about controversy? Hunt fired up just about everyone in Nashville with ‘Is he country or not’ questions about his not-quite-

Former N.W.A. manager files defamation lawsuit over Straight Outta Compton film

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Former N.W.A. manager Jerry Heller filed a multimillion dollar defamation lawsuit Friday over the hit film Straight Outta Compton, claiming it portrayed him as a villain who led to the breakup of the gangster rap group.

Heller, who is portrayed in the film

by Paul Giamatti, sued former N.W.A. members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, the widow of rapper Eazy-E, and NBC Universal, which released the film in August.

Straight Outta Compton was a hit, earning nearly $160 million domestically in the first six weeks after it was released in August.

Heller claims the film portrays him as a villain who led to the breakup of N.W.A., which launched the careers for Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and sparked the rise in popularity of gangster rap.

The film is uses elements of a script

Children’s duo set to perform in Red Deer Children’s music duo Bobs & LoLo will perform their up-beat, green-minded songs in Red Deer this week.

Robyn Hardy (Bobs), and Lorraine Pond (LoLo) were recently named Canada’s Favourite Kids’ Entertainers in a nation-wide poll by CBC Music.

The two joined forced in 2003, initially gaining success by performing at the

that Heller commissioned, and violates his copyright in a memoir that included his description of key moments depicted in the film, the lawsuit states.

“The film is littered with false statements that harm the reputation of (Heller) and aim to ridicule and lower him in the opinion of the community and to deter third persons from associating or dealing with him,” the lawsuit states.

Representatives for NBC Universal and Ice Cube declined comment. A publicist for Dr. Dre did not immediately return an email seeking comment.

Heller is suing Tomica WoodsWright because he claims the film, which she helped produce, violates non-disparagement clauses in a settlement he reached with her in 1999.

Woods-Wright could not be reached for comment.

Heller is seeking more than $110 million, although a jury would determine any damage verdict.

The duo recorded Sea Notes (2004), with a marine-based theme, Musical Adventures (2006), containing healthy living and conservation songs, and Action Packed (2008), which was dedicated to kids with active lives. Their most recent album, Dirty Feet includes the new song, Hoot and Hop, voted great back-to-school song by CBC Parents.

Bobs & LoLo were thrice Juno nominated and their videos have aired regularly on Treehouse TV across Canada. They will perform at the Memorial Centre with Rockin’ Robin and the Magical Tree.

Tickets for the 1 p.m. show are $32 ($29.50 per ticket for a family of four or more) from the Black Knight Ticket Centre.

Lambert is nominated for the entertainer of the year, female vocalist of the year, music video of the year, and musical event of the year (with Little Big Town) awards at the upcoming 2015 Country Music Association Awards. rapping, multigenre style. While I think it would be a travesty if Little Big Town doesn’t win, Hunt’s grassroots momentum could earn him an upset.

MALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR: Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Blake Shelton, Chris Stapleton.

HALL: Shelton has dominated this category for the past five years, but it’s Bryan’s year to make a run. He’s been singing and dancing his butt off at stadiums and arenas all year long, so he’s earned this one.

FEKADU: I’m going to go with Stapleton, who’s also nominated for album of the year. It wouldn’t be too surprising if the CMAs showed love to Stapleton, who has written so many great songs that have been recorded and covered by the likes of George Strait, Ken-

Al Molinaro, TV character actor known for Happy Days and The Odd Couple, dies at 96

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GLENDALE, Calif. — Al Molinaro, the loveable character actor with the hangdog face who was known to millions of TV viewers for playing Murray the cop on The Odd Couple and malt shop owner Al Delvecchio on Happy Days, died Friday at Verdugo Hills Hospital in Glendale, his son Michael Molinaro said.

Al Molinaro Molinaro, retired from acting since the 1990s, died of complications of gallstone problems, his son said. He was 96.

The Kenosha, Wisconsin, native was a journeyman performer well into middle age when a comedy improv class led to his breakthrough. Producer Garry Marshall heard about Molinaro and hired him for the part of police Officer Murray Greshler on The Odd Couple, the TV version of Neil Simon’s play about feuding roommates. It starred Tony Randall as photographer Felix Unger and Jack Klugman as sports writer Oscar Madison and featured Molinaro as one of their buddies, a simpleminded policemen who at times seemed as much a threat to his friends as he did to any crooks. The Odd Couple ran from 1970-75 and not only demonstrated Molinaro’s knack for goofiness, but exploited his most distinctive feature — his plus-sized nose. In one defining scene, Murray attempts to enter his friends’ apartment, but the door is locked. Murray instead sticks his nose through a peephole.

“Oh, hi Murray,” Oscar calls out.

His son Michael said that Molinaro “was good friends till the end with all of the group of people involved in The Odd Couple. “ His next long-running role was that of Al Delvecchio in Happy Days, the 1974-1984 nostalgic sitcom about 1950s life that starred Ron Howard and Henry Winkler. Molinaro joined the cast in 1976, replacing Pat Morita as the owner of Arnold’s Drive-In, and remained until 1982.

In ABC’s 1992 Happy Days’ Reunion Special, Molinaro defended the show from criticism that it sentimentalized the 1950s.

Molinaro built on his Happy Days success for years after he left the show.

He brought the character of Al to Joanie Loves Chachi, a short-lived Happy Days spinoff that aired from 1982-83.

In 1987, he and Anson Williams, who played Potsie on Happy Days, started Big Al’s, a Midwestern diner chain.

He brought Al back for a brief appearance in Buddy Holly, a 1995 music video for the group Weezer that was directed by Spike Jonze.

Molinaro played a grandfather in The Family Man sitcom that aired from 1990-1991, and continued to make guest appearances on other series through the early ’90s. He also filmed commercials, notably for On-Cor frozen dinners. Molinaro came to acting late in life. He had a brief teenage stint as a clarinet player with a band, then worked at a variety of jobs after graduating high school. He moved to California in the early 1950s on casual advice from a friend who suggested he pursue acting. His first TV job was in production, when he talked an independent TV station manager into hiring him.

Then it was on to TV commercials and ads, including a Los Angeles billboard that featured him in a chef’s cap. The producers of Get Smart spotted it and hired Molinaro to play Agent 44 for a few episodes in 1969.

FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR: Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Carrie Underwood, Lee Ann Womack.

FEKADU: It’s great to see a newbie like Ballerini compete with some of country’s brightest voices in this tough category. Underwood will break Lambert’s winning streak next year, but this year the fiery singer will add a sixth trophy to her mantel.

HALL: I’m following a different arrow on this one. Kacey Musgraves stepped up to the top level of country artists this year with her album Pageant Material, and her energetic live performances are fun sing-alongs that any music fan can appreciate.

IN SURPRISING VICTORY, TURKEY’S RULING PARTY SWEEPS BACK TO MAJORITY IN PARLIAMENT

4000-4190

Realtors & Services

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

3050

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s ruling party secured a stunning victory in Sunday’s snap parliamentary election, sweeping back into single-party rule only five months after losing it.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu declared victory as results reported by state-run TRT television showed that the ruling Justice and Development party, or AKP, had won more than 49 per cent of the vote and was projected to get 316 seats in parliament. The preliminary result, reported after about 99 per cent of the votes were counted, would give the party a comfortable majority in the 550-seat parliament.

Following the vote, Davutoglu struck a conciliatory tone, asking ruling party supporters to remain solemn and to embrace fellow Turks.

“Today is the day of victory but it is also a day for humility,” Davutoglu said, addressing supporters in his hometown of Konya, where he voted.

He kept up the placatory manner during a victory address to thousands of AKP supporters gathered outside party headquarters in Ankara, promising to end the party’s often divisive rhetoric and asking for the “blessing” of anyone offended by the harsh election campaign.

Speaking from the balcony of AKP headquarters, Davutoglu also pledged to uphold freedoms and called for opposition parties’ support for constitutional amendments to make Turkey’s laws more democratic. It was not clear if the party had abandoned contentious plans to change Turkey’s political system to one that would give the president more powers.

Davutoglu spoke vaguely about pressing ahead with a peace process with the Kurds, but said Turkey was determined to continue to fight Kurdish rebels, who are considered terrorists.

“We won’t step back from our determination for a solution or from our determination to fight terrorism,” Davutoglu said.

The vote was a rerun of a June election in which AKP surprisingly lost its one-party rule due to a strong showing by a Kurdish party. Most analysts had expected AKP to fall short again, but the preliminary results suggest it picked up millions of votes at the expense of the nationalist MHP and pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party, or HDP. AKP’s vote tally jumped nearly nine percentage points. The secularist CHP was hovering around the same result as in June.

With a dramatic gain that few had predicted, the ruling party’s gamble to hold new elections paid off. Supporters at the party’s Ankara and Istanbul headquarters waived flags in rapturous celebrations. Crowds outside President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s home in Istanbul shouted “Turkey is proud of you.”

“It’s a massive shift of vote compared to the previous election,” said Fadi Hakura, a Turkey analyst at the London-based think-tank , Chatham House. “Erdogan’s focus on security and stability seems to have attracted Turkish and Kurdish votes.”

While Erdogan was not on the ballot, his long run of pre-eminence over Turkish politics looked set to continue. However, his party will fall short of a supermajority that he had sought in order to change Turkey’s constitution and boost his presidential powers.

“The election result has shown that the people have opted for stability and trust that had

NEW YORK — Investigators of a horrific Halloween crash that killed three people including a 10-year-old girl are looking at whether a medical problem may have caused a motorist to smash into a group of New York City trick-ortreaters, police said Sunday.

The car jumped a curb in the Bronx on Saturday evening, leaving behind mangled bodies and bloodied costumes as neighbours ran to help.

Police were examining whether the driver may have suffered a medical emergency, such as a seizure.

A 65-year-old grandfather, Louis Perez, suffered severe head trauma and died at the scene, police said. His granddaughter, 10-year-old Nyanna Aquil, was pronounced dead at a hospital. The girl’s 3-year-old sister was also hospitalized.

Another man, 24-year-old Kristian Leka, was also killed. His 9-year-old sister and a 21-yearold female friend were also injured but not critically.

A black Dodge Charger being driven by a 52-year-old man plowed into the pedestrians on a sidewalk and then smashed through a fence in front of a home, police said. The driver was taken to the hospital in stable condition. No charges

been endangered in the June 7 vote,” Erdogan said.

Amid renewed violence in Turkey following the June vote, Erdogan and Davutoglu argued that only a single-party majority could restore stability.

Fighting between Turkey’s security forces and Kurdish rebels has left hundreds of people dead and shattered an already-fragile peace process. Two recent massive suicide bombings at pro-Kurdish gatherings that killed some 130 people, apparently carried out by an Islamic State group cell, also increased tensions.

HDP leaders attributed the drop-off in their votes to the violence and unfair election conditions.

HDP’s co-chairman Selahattin Demirtas said the party was forced to cancel election rallies and television stations gave party representatives little air-time amid government attacks branding the party as the political wing of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey and its allies.

“I regret to say that there wasn’t a fair or equal election… We were not able to lead an election campaign, we tried to protect our people against attacks,” he said.

IRAQ

United Nations says more than 700 Iraqis killed in violence in October

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — The United Nations says the number of Iraqis killed in violence in October

had been announced as of Sunday afternoon, police said.

Nyanna’s mother, Natalia Perez, told the Daily News that her father had been taking her daughters for some extra Halloween fun.

“It was all because my dad wanted to take my girls for a second round of trick-or-treating,” she said. “Isn’t that crazy? I had already taken the girls earlier.”

Witnesses described hearing a loud boom, followed by screaming and crying, then seeing a trail of mangled bodies in crumpled, bloodied costumes.

“I saw a torso on the sidewalk. I didn’t know if it was a Halloween dummy or a real person,” neighbour Fabio Cotza told the New York Post.

“I just grabbed a whole bunch of towels and ran outside.”

Hours after the crash, neighbours gathered for a small candlelight vigil to remember the victims.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said authorities “will leave no stone unturned” in the investigation and offered prayers to the victims and their families.

“We do not accept tragedies like this as inevitable,” he said. “This could be any of our families. Each of us must contribute to making this a city where everyone, especially children, can walk our streets safely.” was 714, up from 537 people in the previous month.

The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq said in a statement that 559 of those killed in October were civilians, including civilian police, while 155 were members of Iraqi security forces, including the Kurdish peshmerga, Interior Ministry SWAT forces and militias fighting alongside the Iraqi army. The figures do not include casualties in Anbar province, which the UN says it could not obtain.

The number of civilians injured in October was 1,067 the statement says.

Outpouring of grief for crash victims RUSSIAN AVIATION OFFICIAL: JETLINER THAT CRASHED AFTER LEAVING EGYPT BROKE UP AT HIGH ALTITUDE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt — The Russian jetliner that crashed shortly after takeoff from an Egyptian resort city broke up at high altitude, scattering fragments of wreckage over a wide area in the Sinai Peninsula, Russia’s top aviation official said Sunday as search teams raced to recover the bodies of the 224 people who died.

Meanwhile in Russia, an outpouring of grief gripped the historic city of St. Petersburg, home of many of the victims. President Vladimir Putin declared a nationwide day of mourning, and flags flew at half-staff.

Aviation experts joined the searchers in a remote part of the Sinai, seeking any clues to what caused the Metrojet Airbus A321-200 to plummet abruptly from 31,000 feet just 23 minutes after it departed from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh bound for St. Petersburg.

Aviation experts and the search teams were combing an area of 16 square kilometres (more than 6 square miles) to find bodies and pieces of the jet.

By midday, 163 bodies had been recovered, according to the Egyptian government. Some of the dead were expected to be flown to Russia later Sunday.

In St. Petersburg, hundreds of mourners brought flowers, pictures of the victims, stuffed animals and paper planes to the city’s airport. Others went to churches and lit candles in memory of the dead.

Elena Vikhareva had no relatives aboard the flight, but she went with her son to lay flowers, saying that pain was “piercing” her heart.

Vladimir Povarov and a friend did the same, explaining that they couldn’t “remain indifferent.”

The large area over which fragments were found indicates the jet

disintegrated while flying high, said Alexander Neradko, head of Russia’s federal aviation agency. He would not comment on any possible reason for the crash, citing the ongoing investigation.

Neradko was in Egypt to inspect the crash site along with Russia’s emergency and transport ministers.

Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov thanked Egyptian authorities for their help and said work on analyzing the data and cockpit voice recorders had not yet begun.

An Egyptian ground service official who carried out a preflight inspection of the plane said the aircraft appeared to be in good shape. Speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, he said he was a member of a technical inspection team that included two Russians.

“We are all shocked. It was a good plane. Everything checked out in 35 minutes,” the official told The Associated Press on Sunday. The closest the plane came to being in trouble, he said, was three months ago when the pilot aborted takeoff halfway through because of a system error. “That’s almost routine though,” he said.

However, a Russian TV channel late Saturday quoted the wife of the co-pilot as saying her husband had complained about the plane’s condition. Natalya Trukhacheva, identified as the wife of Sergei Trukhachev, said a daughter “called him up before he flew out. He complained before the flight that the technical condition of the aircraft left much to be desired.”

An Egyptian official had previously said that before the plane lost contact with air traffic controllers, the pilot radioed that the aircraft was experiencing technical problems and that he intended to try to land at the nearest airport.

Egyptian security forces stand guard by debris of a Russian airplane at the site a day after the passenger jet bound for St. Petersburg, Russia crashed in Hassana, Egypt, on Sunday. The Metrojet plane, bound for St. Petersburg in Russia, crashed 23 minutes after it took off from Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Saturday morning.

“Once you’re in cruise, many of the risks that exist at lower altitudes, from bird strikes to running into things, don’t happen,” said Curtis, who is now director of the Airsafe.com Foundation. “And ultimately, when you have a problem in cruise, you typically have time to fix it.”

When planes do break up in midair it’s usually because of one of three factors: a catastrophic weather event, a midair collision or an external threat, such as a bomb or a missile.

With no indication that those events

played a role in the crash, Curtis said investigators will be looking at more unusual events, such as an on-board fire or corrosion that caused a structural failure.

The flight recorders will provide key information, including the plane’s airspeed and whether it was on autopilot.

“The good news is with the recorders in hand, both the French and Russian investigators should have a good idea in very short time what did occur,” said Jim Hall, former chairman of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.

Death toll may climb from Romanian nightclub fire

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUCHAREST, Romania — Romanians wept, cursed and prayed Sunday as they mourned the victims of a fire in a nightclub, while doctors warned the death toll could rise “significantly” because so many of the injured have severe burns.

As the nation entered its second day of mourning, thousands paid their respects at the Colectiv nightclub in Bucharest’s 4th district — the scene of Friday’s tragedy that so far has killed 30 people and left dozens badly burned.

In a separate show of grief, thousands walked silently through the capital city of 3 million Sunday afternoon, carrying flowers and photographs of the dead.

About 140 people are still hospitalized around the Romanian capital. Of those, 90 are in serious condition, said Raed Arafat, an emergency situations official. He added that the death toll could double.

Treating victims of a nightclub fire is more complicated than treating someone for a localized burn, Arafat said.

“Many sustained burns to their trachea and lungs, aggravated by the kind of noxious gasses you find in foam and furniture which give off toxic substances such as cyanide. Also many people were trampled on,” he said. “From

this point of view, the prognostic and chances (of survival) are reduced.”

Ioan Lascar, a doctor at the Floreasca Emergency Hospital agreed the death toll could rise “significantly” because so many of the injured have severe burns.

“Treatment for burns is the most complex and costly treatment imaginable,” he said. “We are talking about long-term hospitalization: a month, a month and a half, two, sometimes even more.”

Lascar said the emergency hospital had performed 11 tracheotomies over the weekend to help victims of the accident breathe because they had suffered burns to their lungs. The procedure involves an incision being made to the windpipe, after which a tube is inserted which is connected to a ventilation machine that provides more oxygen to the lungs.

As doctors announced that three more people had died Sunday, mourners gathered outside the shuttered club, some weeping, others standing silently, apparently dazed by the tragedy, the biggest of its kind in Romania.

Journalists and police officers, who were working, also appeared visibly moved by the outpouring of grief and emotion.

People laid down white and yellow chrysanthemums, one wrapped in a musical score, and placed red and white candles to create a sea of tiny flickering flames, in an echo of the in-

Islamic extremists besiege hotel in Somalia, kill six and injure 10

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya — Five of Somalia’s Islamic extremists attacked a leading hotel in the capital at dawn Sunday, killing at least six people and injuring 10, before all the assailants were killed by security forces.

The Somali army and the African Union forces ended the siege by the al-Shabab attackers at the Sahafi Hotel by midday, police commander Ali Ahmed said.

“It’s over now. We have killed all the attackers,” Ahmed told The Associated Press by telephone. “They came under cover of darkness and attacked the hotel while some of the guards were sleeping.”

The attack started at daybreak when a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle at the hotel’s entrance gate and then four men, armed with AK-47 rifles, propelled grenades and suicide vests, invaded the premises. Some of them went into rooms to kill residents while others went to the hotel’s rooftop to fight off government soldiers who came to battle them, said Capt. Mohamed Hussein,

Witnesses describe gunman’s rampage in Colorado Springs COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Witnesses on Sunday described a terrifying scene on the streets of Colorado Springs, where a gunman armed with a rifle marched down a city street and shot and killed three people before being fatally shot in a gunbattle with police.

Authorities have released few details about Saturday morning’s shoot-

a senior Somali police officer.

A second explosion came from a car bomb outside the hotel, said witnesses.

Among those killed was the hotel’s owner and a former military general, Hussein said.

“Had it not been for the courage of some of the hotel residents who fought back the terrorists, the death toll could have been a lot higher than it is now,” Hussein said.

“They came in firing bullets randomly and chanting God is great — they shot anyone they could see,” said a surviving hotel resident, Ahmed Abdulle.

“The guards tried to fight them off but it was too late, they were already inside,” said Abdulle by phone from Mogadishu. “I hid myself under my bed until security forces broke into my room and got me out a back door. It was a terrible experience.”

Al-Shabab, the Islamic extremist rebels waging an insurgency against Somalia’s weak U.N.- backed government, claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement by Sheikh Abdiaziz Abu-Musab, the insurgents’ military spokesman, delivered on the group’s radio station, Andulus. ing in broad daylight. The suspect and victims have not been identified, and police are looking for a motive.

A neighbour, Teresa Willingham, said she heard three loud gunshots and saw a bicyclist lying face down in the street, his legs mangled and still intertwined in his bike.

Police say they spotted the gunman several blocks away, where a shootout erupted.

Police on Sunday asked residents to help them look for damage to homes and property that might provide more evidence.

ferno that erupted at the basement nightclub in the shabby four-story building during a rock concert with the band Goodbye to Gravity.

Meanwhile, forensic experts began the first autopsies of victims.

Early forensic results point to carbon monoxide poisoning, smoke and toxic gas as the main causes of death among the victims, Romanian news agency Mediafax reported. Health Minister Nicolae Banicioiu also said most people died of intoxication.

Amid the tears in Bucharest Sunday, there were bursts of anger and calls for punishing those deemed responsible for what happened. Witnesses said the fire started as a pyrotechnics show ignited foam, which lead to a stampede to a single exit from the club.

“The owners of the nightclub and authorities should be punished for allowing this to happen,” said Anne-Marie Duminica, 36. “I hope they rot in prison.”

The perils of timely tattoos

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Just hours after slugger Jose Bautista made an indelible mark in Toronto Blue Jays history with his now-famous bat flip, Byran Bevins sought to make the moment even more permanent.

The factory worker from Oshawa, Ont., got a tattoo of Bautista doing his celebratory bat toss in Game 5 of the series versus the Texas Rangers — less than 24 hours after it happened.

Baseball hysteria in Toronto would ultimately last just a little over a week longer before the Jays were eliminated by the Kansas City Royals.

But Bevins has no regrets about his inked image, which is on his upper-left thigh and took more than six hours to create.

“Well, maybe when I’m older and it starts to fade and kind of looks dumb,” says Bevins, who has six other tattoos.

“But that would be only because of looks, not because of what it is.”

Bevins got the tattoo after FY Ink in Toronto took to social media to recruit one Jays “superfan” to get the bat-flip image inked on their body for free.

It was a gimmick, but it points to a growing trend that’s been noticed by Mike McLaine, owner of Precision Laser Tattoo Removal in Toronto.

“It seems to be a trend that now you get some kind of event, something going on in the news, and invariably somebody decides to go out there and mark the occasion irreversibly with a tattoo,” says McLaine.

FY Ink made headlines for a similar campaign two years ago, when one of its apprentices got a tattoo of then-mayor Rob Ford smoking a crack pipe.

“He thought it was cool until the second day when all the comments (on the story) were pretty friggin’ harsh,” says FY Ink owner Lee Baxter.

“He was just like, ‘Man, my parents are … pissed off at me,”’ he added, using an unprintable expletive.

A love of certain musicians or bands seems to drive many impulsive tattoo requests. A client at FY Ink, for example, got one of Chris Brown’s face. Baxter says many clients want to ink musical artists’ autographs, while McLaine has had several clients ask to remove those types of tattoos.

“We’ve actually removed the name

Byran Bevins shows his tattoo of Toronto Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista’s bat flip in Toronto. of a boy band off somebody,” he says.

While some tattoo parlours have their own code of ethics, Baxter’s isn’t as strict.

He calls himself “more of a businessman” who believes that a parlour “should offer from A to Z tattooing” while focusing on hygiene and quality work.

But he takes a harder line with younger clients who have lofty ideas, especially those under the required age of 18, even if they’re with their consenting parents.

Baxter once turned away a 17-yearold girl who went in with her mother asking for lyrics from a Nine Inch Nails song to be tattooed from her wrist to her armpit.

He takes body placement seriously.

“If someone comes in and they say ‘Go Jays go’ and they want to put it on their forehead, well I’m probably going to tell them it’s a real bad idea and we don’t really want to have anything to do with it,” says Baxter.

But if they’re persistent about it, he won’t refuse.

“I’d rather make sure that person gets it done somewhere that’s really safe and clean and I know we’re notable for that, so why not?” he says.

“It’s a form of expression. Something that I might have an opinion on, somebody else might disagree. So where do you really draw the line?”

McLaine thinks the trend is partly a result of tattoos becoming so ubiquitous, resulting in a mentality of “everybody has a tattoo, so why shouldn’t I get one?” he says.

“The second part, a disturbing trend is this undercurrent of … ‘Well why shouldn’t I get a tattoo, because I can always get it removed.’ While that’s true, it’s a time-consuming, painful, expensive process.”

The cost of full tattoo removal at his clinic depends on the size of the work.

McLaine says at the low end, it’s about $1,700.

And clients need about four to eight

treatments to get one fully removed, depending on the depth of the ink (faded ink is easier to remove).

McLaine estimates a work like the Bautista tattoo would cost about $3,000 and take a few treatments to get rid of.

Of course, Bevins isn’t concerned with that right now.

After all, Bautista praised it on his Instagram account and met with Bevins in the team’s locker room.

“I started showing Bautista the tattoo and (the other Jays) all just kind of kept calling each other over until pretty much the whole team was surrounding me,” recalls Bevins.

“I was just standing there in my underwear showing them my tattoo.”

While the Blue Jays buzz was worn off, Bevins is still proud of the piece.

“They still did really well in my eyes. They really pulled together and still made things happen, made for a good season.”

Prospect of fixing up 24 Sussex captivates renovation expert

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Be it renovated or razed, the resurrection of 24 Sussex Drive should be documented as a showcase of Canadian history and innovation, says an expert in public portrayals of what — and what not — to do with older home projects.

E v e r since Justin Trudeau confirmed that he’s giving the prime minister’s official residence a wide berth, Bryan Baeumler has received several inquiries about whether he’d tackle a reno job at Canada’s most f a m o u s a d - Bryan Baeumler dress.

Baeumler, host of a battery of HGTV renovation shows — Disaster DIY, House of Bryan, Leave it to Bryan and Canada’s Handyman Challenge— and president of Baeumler Quality Construction in Oakville, Ont., said he would jump at the chance to take on the challenge if he worked in the national capital area.

“There’s lots of great, qualified local (Ottawa) construction companies that can handle it, but of course — what a project!” Baeumler said in response to one query on his Twitter account.

There have been a few suggestions, most of them tongue-in-cheek, that the project be made into a reality TV series.

For Baeumler, the notion immediately raises questions about historical integrity, security and red tape.

After all, 24 Sussex Drive is effectively owned by taxpayers, managed by the National Capital Commission, guarded by the RCMP and holds a historical significance that cannot be ignored.

“I’m not sure what the tangled web of restrictions and red tape might be,” he said. “There’d be quite a quagmire of duelling opinions.”

But it’s not the first time Baeumler has been asked about the possibility.

A couple years ago, he sat down to dinner with a friend who lived at 24 Sussex in his early years — Ben Mulroney, son of former prime minister Brian Mulroney — and tossed around ideas about creating a TV show around renovations to the drafty old house, he said.

Another celebrity home renovator added his voice to the debate Friday.

Mike Holmes, star of the reality show Holmes on Homes, told his Facebook followers he’d be prepared to get involved.

“I’ve read all your posts about the problems with 24 Sussex Drive and that Justin Trudeau won’t be moving in,” Holmes wrote. “ I do know the best renovator in Ottawa that would be happy to help. Say the word and we’ll grab our tools!”

There would be some benefits of having reality TV producers step in, including taming the cost of the project, which has been estimated to be at least $10 million — a seven-year-old dollar figure that’s likely higher now.

It could also generate publicity for companies that would be involved.

“A show would be interesting. It would give people in Canada, I think, more of a sense of ownership of the property if they got to see it — and it would certainly keep the process a little more transparent,” Baeumler said.

“I think it’d be a great opportunity for Canadian corporations that supply products sourced and manufactured in Canada to showcase them. There’d certainly be sponsorship opportunities.”

The NCC said it could not provide any information in response to requests for an interview.

A spokesman for Trudeau would only say that the prime minister-designate has not decided how to proceed with the property, other than determining that he, his wife Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, and their three children won’t move in after Wednesday’s swearing-in ceremony.

“Mr. Trudeau will be making decisions once he has been fully briefed by officials,” said press secretary Cameron Ahmad. “Until then, his family will be living at Rideau Cottage” — a residence on the grounds of Rideau Hall, the home of Canada’s Governor General.

There’s been no shortage of opinions about what to do with the property.

“A SHOW WOULD BE INTERESTING. IT WOULD GIVE PEOPLE IN CANADA, I THINK, MORE OF A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY IF THEY GOT TO SEE IT — AND IT WOULD CERTAINLY KEEP THE PROCESS A LITTLE MORE TRANSPARENT.” —BRYAN BAEUMLER, TV RENO EXPERT prime minister Joe Clark and herself a former 24 Sussex resident, told CBC Radio this week that the home should be torn down and replaced with a new structure.

The building is more than just a house, said McTeer — it represents a Canadian idea.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his family lived at 24 Sussex Drive since 2006, despite an auditor general’s report in 2008 that detailed its state of disrepair.

The report highlighted a number of problems, including cracked windows and problems with the plumbing and electrical systems, and estimated the cost of renovating the building at $10 million.

That price tag is now likely $15 million or higher, depending on what contractors are liable to find lurking behind the walls, said Baeumler.

No matter how the project unfolds, there should be publicity around it to give Canadians more of a reason to see it as an iconic symbol, he added.

“I think that would help to elevate the status maybe and make Canadians a little more proud of our democracy and our system and our infrastructure,” he said.

“I think it’s an opportunity to really create an incredible symbol and a legacy and set an example for our kids and the rest of the world that you have to take care of your own house, literally and figuratively.”

RHINO HEADING HOME

Shy about size keeps man out of dating pool Dear Annie: I am a 60-year-old divorced male. I am decent looking, financially secure, have a lot of close friends, and am fun and interesting. Yet I haven’t dated in 25 years. Why? It is embarrassing to admit, but I feel inadequately endowed.

My friends think I am just too picky, but I can’t tell them the truth. I would love to have a woman in my life to travel with and share all that I have to offer.

I would treat her like an angel. I don’t want to go on spending my life alone. What can I do? — Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed: We suspect many of the women in our reading audience will be writing to ask for your address because you sound like a gem. (Sorry, ladies, we don’t put readers in touch.)

We won’t say, “Size doesn’t matter,” because we know you believe it does. But the majority of women are more interested in the rest of you. The secret to a great sex life is in the organ between your ears, and your willingness to please your partner. We guarantee there is a woman out there who will love you for your personality, your intelligence, your warmth and your kindness. But you won’t know until you put yourself out there. Tell your friends you are looking, and then check out church groups, volunteer groups and even online dating sites. Not every woman will be a keeper, but please don’t give up.

Dear Annie: For my mother’s 80th birthday, my three siblings and I planned a catered dinner to celebrate. We MITCHELL agreed to split the cost four & SUGAR ways and updated each othANNIE’S MAILBOX er frequently on the details.

Mom chose the menu. Everything seemed to be going well.

When we received the quote for the meal, I discovered that two of my siblings had made changes to the menu, including the amount of beef ordered and the type of chicken served. Also, the two of them decided the cost should be per person instead of an even split. This change seemed to be directed at me since I have the largest family.

That was a month ago and I am still a little irritated. The extra money doesn’t bother me. What does is the hijacking of the party by my siblings without agreement from everyone else. Am I out of line? — Still a Little Miffed Dear Miffed: Of course not. When siblings are paying for a joint celebration, all of the costs and details should be discussed and agreed to by everyone unless someone opts out. Perhaps your siblings thought you would balk at the idea of a per-person distribution, but if you have a much larger family, it would not be unreasonable to pay extra. Nonetheless, they should have discussed it with you ahead of time instead of making these decisions unilaterally.

Let your siblings know that you expect more transparency next time and then please try to let it go. These types of things, while unpleasant, should not create a rift.

Two-tiered toilet paper CONTROVERSY SWIRLS AT RYERSON UNIVERSITY OVER TOILET PAPER

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A controversy over who gets better toilet paper at a Toronto university has critics denouncing what they call a two-tier system, while other Ontario institutions say their bathroom tissue is “equitably distributed.”

An investigation published this week by a student newspaper at Ryerson University showed the floors housing the president’s office and other administrative departments got two-ply toilet paper, while students received one-ply.

A university spokesman, Michael Forbes, told the Eyeopener that the practice has been in place for more than a decade but the newspaper says the reason for it is unclear.

The revelation has been met with light-hearted outrage as well as backlash from those who argue there are more pressing concerns within the education system.

Meanwhile, at least three other Ontario universities say everyone at their facilities gets the same treatment, toilet paper-wise.

The University of Toronto, the University of Guelph and the University of Ottawa all say they make no distinction between students, faculty and administrators.

“I don’t know what it is (in terms of ply) but it’s equitably distributed,” a spokeswoman for the Uni-

“Here at Guelph, we have one-ply tissue campus wide, from the president’s washroom to the student residences,” Lori Bona Hunt said in an email.

University of Ottawa “does not have a two-tier toilet paper system, every washroom on campus has the same toilet paper,” said Neomie Duval. “I highly doubt this is a common thing.”

In an email to The Canadian Press, Forbes said Friday that more than 15 departments across the Ryerson campus have two-ply.

“We are examining a switch to two-ply but we need to be mindful of costs and the fact that buildings with older plumbing systems can only accommodate one-ply,” he said.

Almost all buildings are open to the public, meaning anyone can use the bathrooms, he said.

Some took to Twitter to vent about the discrepancy.

“You mean we’ve been stuck with tissue paper while they hoard the plushy good stuff? (…) it’s PLYGATE,” one person wrote.

“As a Ryerson student I can say with all honesty that I have often thought of bringing my own toilet paper to school .TissueIssue,” said another.
