Rona takes the reins EDMONTON MP CHOSEN AS INTERIM CONSERVATIVE LEADER

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Fresh out of a caucus meeting that first heard from former prime minister Stephen Harper, followed by the selection of interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose, Red Deer -Mountain View MP Earl Dreeshen said Thursday he wants to work with the new government to help his constituents.

While Dreeshen did not provide details of the federal Conservative caucus meeting, he did say Harper encouraged the MPs to “just continue to work hard as we have done in the past.”

“We do have the greatest respect for (Stephen Harper). The world knows how significant he has been and the leadership that he has shown. Now it’ll be up to us as Opposition to let people realize the significance of the

While the Conservatives lost the election to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals on Oct. 19, local Conservatives Dreesh-

was seen by tens of thousands of Canadians marching to the front. Legend had it that when the statue fell the war would end.

The curtain hung for decades on the stage of the Women’s Institute Penhold Memorial Hall that was built in 1919 to remember all those who served in the Great War. In modern times, the crowds who line the Highway of Heroes, those who have supported injured soldiers in sporting events, and initiatives to help soldiers cope with post-traumatic stress disorders through canine and equine therapy all show Canadians stepping up to help their soldiers.

“The drop curtain and the cenotaph is another example of local organizations coming together and creating something for their community.”

A decision on sentence for a hitand-run crash that left a teenager dead in a rural ditch has been delayed, but Crown and defence said the sentence should be in the range of six to eight months in custody.

Jessica Lyn Masyk, 26, pleaded guilty to three charges on Aug. 19 including driving while unauthorized, failing to remain at the scene of a collision and public mischief for filing a false police report.

At about 10:30 p.m. on May 20, 2014, driving in her Dodge Durango with her two children inside, Masyk struck and killed Trystan Sorensen, 18, on Hwy 592 west of Penhold.

A month prior Masyk’s driver’s licence was suspended for traffic safety act violations.

Trystan was riding on a longboard on one side of the highway at the time and was sent flying into the ditch. He suffered severe injuries and though EMS attempted to perform CPR, Trystan died at the scene.

Appearing in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday, Crown Prosecutor Ed Ring and defence counsel Kaitlyn Perrin, of Calgary, gave judge John Holmes their recommendation on a sentence for Masyk.

Both agreed the sentence should be in the range of six to eight months in custody. Further suggested punishments included a two-year driving prohibition, a fine of $1,000 to $1,500 and Ring also asked for an order for Masyk to provide a sample of her DNA. Ring said the sentence was warranted, citing case law and said Masyk knew that bodily harm had been caused to another person and was reckless as to whether the death of the other person resulted from that bodily harm.

Masyk did exit her vehicle and look around. She phoned a friend in a panic. The friend told her to leave the scene and she followed that advice.

A witness said she was outside of her vehicle for no longer than one minute.

A pre-sentence report was developed for the sentencing hearing. Perrin drew issue with a conclusion it reached that Masyk was unwilling to vebalize her remorse.

Penhold — A cenotaph and a restored First World War memorial stage curtain were unveiled here Thursday to honour Canadian soldiers’ sacrifices.

Speaking to our modern generation, for whom world wars are almost unimaginable, keynote speaker retired Maj.-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie reminded his audience how lucky Canadians are.

Two weeks before returning to Canada, after serving as commander of Sector Sarajevo in the former Yugoslavia, he saw a group of teenagers being given food by the Canadians killed or horribly mangled in front of his eyes by a mortar shell explosion.

On returning to Ottawa, the big news of the day was the GST and the Grey Cup weather forecast.

“What a God-given blessing we have to be able to sweat the small stuff,” said MacKenzie, who is one of Canada’s best-known soldiers and the first to receive two Meritorious Services Crosses for his leadership in a 36-year military career.

“It’s just unbelievable how much we take for granted.”

MacKenzie was joined by Alberta Lt.-Gov. Lois Mitchell and many other provincial and municipal dignitaries at the memorial event in Penhold Regional Multiplex. They were piped into the gymnasium along with a colour party.

Nobody was taking peace for granted in 1920, when the Penhold stage curtain was commissioned and painted with a view of an iconic image of the gilded statue of the Virgin Mary atop a basilica in Albert, France.

Damaged by shellfire and hanging precariously at an angle, the statue

Asked if it was an emotional meeting, Dreeshen said: “Really what we were looking at, it was a business meeting … and so we went about doing the things that we need to do in order to become a strong and effective opposition.”

“That was what we felt we were going to do when we went in and that’s what we felt we had accomplished.”

“And so we now have a new interim leader, Rona Ambrose, and I have the greatest respect for Rona. She’s a bright effective communicator and she’s passionate about our country. So I’m looking forward to working with her in the weeks and months to come until we finally have a leadership convention that will give our party someone for the future.”

No date has been set yet for the leadership convention.

STORIES FROM A2

DREESHEN: ‘We do work as a team’ Dreeshen said the party wants to make it as fair and open a process as possible.

“We let the party deal with that side of it. For those of us that are elected, we will be dealing with the other side, which is to make sure that the legislative agenda that is presented is well scrutinized, and we have people be aware of the opportunities and ideas that we can put forward.”

Dreeshen, who will be sworn in on Monday, said any extra duties for the Conservative MPs will be determined

by Ambrose.

“I would imagine that when we return on Dec. 3 to elect the speaker, then on Dec. 4 to listen to the speech from the throne, that those decisions will have been made.”

“We do work as a team and we look for the strengths that everybody has and so whether a person has any official role or not, we still work togther to make sure we help develop policies and we help get positive messaging going forward.”

While he will now sit as a member of the official Opposition, Dreeshen said the reality is that the first job for each of the 338 members of Parliament is still to their constituents and to those people that elected them.

“I’ve always felt that you can gain more by being thoughtful and working your way through decisions than you can by being boisterous. You know I’ve been here for seven years and in that time, maybe it’s the teacher in me, but I’ve never heckled and I have no intention to do so.”

“I feel that there’s a certain amount of respect that has to be here, and in essence we all work that way. So the fact that we are now doing it from the other side of the House I still think that’s really the tone that a person has to work with.”

Dreeshen said he wants to get to know those new cabinet ministers he will need to work with on behalf of his constituents, but he will have to wait until they have got their feet under them.

He said he believes the best approach is to work together to solve problems for constituents and that’s the approach he intends to use. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

MASYK: Very remorseful Perrin said Masyk was very remorseful with her guilty plea and her apologies to the victim’s mother.

After hearing sentencing submissions from both Crown and defence counsel, Holmes offered Masyk the opportunity to speak. She wanted to at first, but had a hard time standing to speak and felt nauseous.

This necessitated a brief adjournment so she could compose herself.

Wearing a leopard print top with matching high-heeled shoes, Masyk turned to Trystan’s mother Amy Sorensen, Masyk apologized for the crash that killed Amy’s son saying “I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to lose my child.”

Amy read two victim impact statements she wrote outlining how this incident has affected her. She talked about a son born with multiple disabilities who was a generous and loving person who forgave anyone.

“A piece of me died that night with my son,” she said.

“I’d give my own (life) to change it.”

LOTTERIES

TREE TRANSPLANT

As Amy read her victim impact statement, Masyk trembled and cried.

According to the agreed statement of facts, Sorensen stood at the crest of a hill and watched his friend Roman Black ride down. When Black stopped and got off his longboard, Sorensen then rolled down the hill on his board.

Masyk crested the hill in her Dodge Durango and struck Sorensen.

Black told police he saw Masyk stop the vehicle, get out to look around and then get back into the vehicle and speed off.

A day after the collision, Masyk reported her vehicle stolen to Innisfail RCMP saying someone had taken it from her back alley around 8 p.m. on May 20.

At 10 p.m. on May 21, Innisfail RCMP received a report of a burned vehicle in a farmer’s field. It was Masyk’s vehicle.

On May 24, Masyk turned herself in to Innisfail RCMP. She told police she contacted Jesse Miller and Logan Graham after the collision. The Crown said in the agreed statement of facts that Miller, Graham and Steven Lagace decided to burn the car. Miller was too scared and did not join Graham and Lagace in burning the vehicle. Miller was not charged.

Graham was convicted of his role and given an 18-month conditional sentence and 12 months probation.

Steven Lagace pleaded guilty to arson in relation to the burning of the vehicle, and a slew of other charges, and was sentenced to 26 months jail.

Holmes said he wanted to take time to read all the victim impact statements, review case law and reach a decision. The case was adjourned to Friday in Red Deer provincial court to set a date for his decision. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

MEMORIAL: Many local men killed MacKenzie is among those backing a monument on a national scale at Cape Breton to remember the Canadian soldiers buried in 2,500 cemeteries around the world. Permission has not yet been granted for the 25-metre statue based on the famous Mother Canada monument that stands over the site of the Vimy battlefield in France.

Local historian Michael Dawe spoke of the impact the First World War had on Penhold and area, then a thriving farming community.

At the Battle of the Somme alone, 47 men from the Penhold area were killed. Three times as many were wounded.

Dozens of others died at Vimy and Passchendaele. In all, nearly 120 Central Albertans lost their lives in the war.

When they returned home, the Spanish flu epidemic was at its peak and the local economy was in tatters.

Unemployment in Penhold was at 25 per cent after the war.

Despite this, the Women’s Institute managed to scrape together enough donations and volunteer help to build the Memorial Hall that still stands.

The curtain hung in the hall until the 1960s when it was taken and forgotten for 40 years when it was uncovered during hall renovations. Local man Stewart Ford made sure the curtain was saved.

Gifted to the Canadian War Museum by the town, the curtain underwent a meticulous four-month restoration.

Mark O’Neil, president and CEO of the Canadian War Museum and the Canadian Museum of History, said before the unveiling the curtain is believed to be the only surviving curtain of its kind in North America.

It will hang at the multiplex for six months before being returned to the museum in Ottawa.

EDMONTON — Alberta’s NDP government performed a rapid-fire aboutface in the house Thursday over accusations it was selling access to Premier Rachel Notley and her cabinet.

Government house leader Brian Mason, facing questions from Wildrose member Jason Nixon, first defended an upcoming NDP party event in Calgary that promised access to Premier Rachel Notley and her cabinet for a $250 party donation.

“It’s an opportunity to meet all members of the NDP caucus,” said Mason.

“It’s not an attempt to sell access in any way.”

But just seconds later, Health Minister Sarah Hoffman, apparently having been alerted to the actual wording of the invite, stood and labelled the invitation offside.

Baby talk: Parties back Bill introduced to publicize better parental leave more public-sector salaries

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s Opposition Wildrose party says it would support changing rules to make life easier for politicians who are parents of young children, including allowing them to bring their babies to the legislature.

“I am very, very excited to have baby snuggles,” Wildrose member Angela Pitt said. “I think that is something that would be very nice on a bad day.”

“In my opinion the baby needs to be welcome in the legislature. We need to be supportive of a plan that works.”

Pitt’s comments come as the government grapples with how to deal with Stephanie McLean, an NDP member of the legislature who is expecting a baby in February.

Under current legislation, members can’t take paid parental leave because they do not pay into Employment Insurance. Any member who misses more than 10 days of work will have their pay docked by $100 per day, unless it’s for illness, injury, bereavement or official business.

Premier Rachel Notley, whose 53-member caucus includes 25 women, has promised to change that rule, which she has called archaic.

But Notley said the government must also come up with a policy on just how much parental leave a politician should be able take before returning

IN

to work.

She said the parental leave policy must balance the responsibility of politicians to represent their constituents with the fact that other women get a full year of maternity leave.

Earlier this year the federal Liberals proposed more flexible parental leave proposals for the general public under EI rules, including extending the time period to 18 months and giving parents the legal right to ask their boss for more flexible working conditions, including the ability to work from home.

Notley, who has two children, has joked that earlier in her career she wishes she could have shared her political duties with a caucus colleague.

“I think what we are likely going to be looking at is trying to inject flexibility into how the job is done to encourage women and young women of child-bearing years to be politicians and to be active,” she said.

Notley and other NDP officials declined to provide details of proposals on how the government will achieve its goal of a more family-friendly parental leave policy for members of the legislature.

Wildrose was also not prepared to be specific about what ideas it is prepared to put on table.

Pitt, who has two children, noted that being a politician is not like other jobs. She said all Albertans need to be treated equally.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta is bringing in new rules to publicize the salaries of thousands more workers, including nurses, professors, and members of 157 provincially run boards.

“Our government is serious about increasing transparency, and this bill will show Albertans how their tax dollars are being spent,” Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley said after tabling the Public Sector Transparency Act, The plan is to have the first results made public on June 30, 2016.

Alberta already discloses the salaries of 3,556 government and employees who make more than $104,000 a year.

All political staffers have their salaries disclosed.

Ganley’s bill expands the disclosure list to members and staff of the agencies, boards and commissions directly controlled by the province.

That includes universities and organizations such as Alberta Health Services, which is in charge of providing front-line medical care.

All board members will have their expenses disclosed.

Anyone who makes more than $125,000 a year in salary, bonus and overtime pay combined would have their salary made public.

Those staffers include nurses, health employees, university members, and professors and employees of agencies, boards and commissions.

The $125,000 threshold will also apply to those who work in the eight legislative offices that serve and oversee government

their medical issues are treated.

Notley says entrepreneurism key to Alberta’s revival

Homicide investigation underway after man, woman, found dead

EDMONTON — Premier Rachel Notley says entrepreneurism is the key to Alberta’s economic revival, adding that one never knows where another Silicon Valley will spring up.

Notley made the comments today in a state of the province speech to almost 2,000 people at an Edmonton Chamber of Commerce event.

Notley told the audience that paradigm-altering innovations can come from unexpected places.

She says tech giants like Apple and Google got their start in garages, and that oilsands technology unlocked billions of dollars in wealth for Alberta.

Her government is undertaking numerous initiatives to diversify Alberta’s oil-based economy.

But opposition critics have said Notley is ignoring economic fundamentals to recovery by hiking corporate and personal income taxes and looking at boosting oil royalties.

EDMONTON — An autopsy has determined that two people found dead in a parked car in Edmonton last week died from gunshot wounds.

Homicide detectives are investigating after the bodies of Daniel Andrew Edward Fullerton and Dianna Teresa Wilk, both 28, were discovered early Friday evening in a southside neighbourhood.

Both were in the vehicle’s front seat when a passerby found them.

There was no immediate word on the pair’s relationship.

Fullerton was originally from Rosetown, Sask.

No one has been arrested and investigators are asking anyone who may have information about the shooting to come forward. (CTV Edmonton, CJME)

ELK POINT — One person is dead and four others are injured following a single-vehicle rollover in northeastern Alberta.

RCMP say a car carrying five people went out of control on Highway 41 north of Elk Point Wednesday afternoon and ended up on its roof.

A 21-year-old man from Kehewin who was driving died at the scene.

The other four were taken to hospitals in Bonnyville and St. Paul, but their conditions were not immediately known.

Passing motorists stopped and helped the injured.

Police say speed and alcohol were likely factors in the crash.Alta-Animals-Seized

Sajjan is a man born in India with a chest full of medals for his military service for this country, including deployments to Bosnia and multiple postings to Afghanistan. He became the first Sikh to command a Canadian regiment. Now, as defence minister, he must be involved in the tricky timing surrounding his government’s pledge to withdraw from the skies of Iraq and Syria as part of a coalition aimed at degrading the Islamic State and he will oversee the choice of the next generation of combat fighters after Trudeau vowed to end Ottawa’s pursuit of the discredited F-35.

Philpott is a renowned physician who owns a disarmingly common touch, but she now inherits a health portfolio that will include possibly bruising negotiations with the provinces on funding.

Trudeau has committed to increase federal health spending for home care by $3 billion over four years, but he has also committed to taking a leadership role and getting the provinces together to renegotiate the Canada Health Transfer. Expectations of an improvement from the Harper funding pledge will be high.

McKenna, the Ottawa Centre MP, gets the crucial and renamed Environment and Climate Change portfolio on the eve of a climate summit in Paris and with Trudeau telling the world

She will be scrutinized here and around the world.

“Canada is going to be a strong and positive actor on the world stage (on climate change),” Trudeau again pledged Wednesday.

Finance is in the hands of Bay Street veteran and Toronto Centre MP Morneau, Trudeau’s economic adviser, but someone who has never served in a legislature. He will have to manage deficits, tax the wealthiest and deliver tax cuts for the middle class and get some infrastructure projects shovel ready. He has to act quickly, then start to craft a budget.

But on a day when 3,500 flocked to the grounds of Rideau Hall under bright, warm sunshine, when Trudeau’s mother, Margaret, wiped away tears and the prime minister’s youngest child jumped into his arms as he approached the governor general’s residence, when one young fan from Toronto wept because she missed out on a selfie with Trudeau when bagpipes swirled, when young throat singers performed then dissolved into giggles, when newly minted cabinet ministers posed for photographers, beaming and waving … let’s just say it was a tough day for cynics in this town.

Wondering if I’m alone in wondering Am I the only one…. … that was totally turned off by the attack ads during the two elections this year? Were the PC ads a benefit to our new PM? I really felt they were also a personal attack on my own intelligence. Was Rob Ford endorsing Stephen Harper a kiss of death? … that can’t understand why airport security will take away a nail file on the ground and then the airline give first class passengers an eight-inch metal knife or economy a plastic knife at 38,000 feet? … the only one that runs into people in the store wearing camouflage clothing because I didn’t see them? … that wonders why the city put in bike lanes on 55th street in 2013 (only to take them out the same year) if they in fact were closing the street in 2014 and 2015 to put in water lines, new sidewalks and repaving? Wasn’t this a lack of forethought by the city and a total waste of money? …that wonders even why the bike lanes exist?

Since they went in I have only seen a couple of cyclists using them. If they were expecting more users, why are there only 100 bicycle parking spaces downtown for commuters as per the city hall? … that wonders why the city doesn’t have more lights on flash in non-peak hours?

Albertans want value for higher cost of government It’s no surprise that 43 per cent of Albertans disapprove of the NDP’s spend, tax and borrow budget and 58 per cent believe that Alberta is heading in the wrong direction. The NDP are hiring more employees and dolling out raises and borrowing to pay for it all.

It’s embarrassing but Alberta already has the most expensive government in Canada with the worst performance in many key service areas. We want and will pay for good government programs; health, education, social services and infrastructure.

But we are loath to pay 20 per cent more than other Canadians do in their provinces for worse services.

Albertans are good shoppers. We watch gasoline prices, we shop at a grocery store for this, Costco for that, Walmart for some things; when there is better value.

So, to pay $1,300 more for worse provincial programs is offensive.

The NDP have vowed to make it worse.

A reminder that there are good people out in the world I was at one of my son’s houses in Penhold on Halloween night and was witness something that restored my faith in our troubled times.

Here was some peace officers driving around and giving the kids treats.

And a little later the county Firetrucks were also driving around giving out treats to the kids. This should not be overlooked and I would personally like to thank them for the time and effort they put into the community.

Great job!

Abuse allegations probed

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

AFGHANISTAN

“Both the nature of the allegations and the manner in which the complaint was made tend to imply a lack of confidence on the complainant’s part in the independence of the Military Police when investigating alleged misconduct by CAF members and in the ability of the Military Police to investigate themselves impartially,” she wrote.

“Under the specific circumstances of this case, only an independent investigation could provide sufficient reassurance to the complainant and to others, so that in the future individuals are not dissuaded from stepping forward to voice their concerns or complaints due to fear of reprisals or lack of confidence in the mechanisms available to investigate such complaints.”

The complainant also raised concerns about the military’s own investigations into the incidents, including the fact that no charges were laid and no court martial convened.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The new Liberal government is making good on a promise to resurrect the mandatory, long-form census killed off by the Conservatives, but is vague on the details of how it plans to persuade Canadians to fill it out.

The long-form component of the 2011 questionnaire was axed by Stephen Harper’s government, which called it intrusive to threaten people with fines and jail time for not answering personal questions — a nod to the party’s libertarian base.

The Conservatives replaced the long-form census with the National Household Survey. The response rate declined from 93.5 per cent in 2006 to 68.6 per cent in 2011.

The Liberal government, however, is giving priority to evidence-based decision-making instead of ideology, said Navdeep Bains, the minister of innovation, science and economic development.

“Today, Canadians are reclaiming their right to accurate and more reliable information,” Bains said.

“Communities will once again have access to high-quality data they require to make decisions that will truly reflect the needs of the people, businesses, institutions and organizations.”

But neither Bains nor Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos would discuss specific consequences or penalties which might be imposed to ensure the mandatory questionnaire is filled out.

Some groups have been shown to be less likely to fill out the forms, including indigenous Canadians.

Four teens charged in bomb scares

CLIMATE WELCOME SIT-IN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Four teens from western Quebec charged over threats against schools in their area now are accused in connection with a spate of bomb threats against schools in Quebec and Ontario earlier this week.

Quebec provincial police Capt. Guy Lapointe said Thursday that each of the teens now faces charges of uttering threats, conspiracy and conveying false messages.

They were charged at the provincial courthouse in Gatineau, Que., across the river from Ottawa.

Lapointe says no explosive devices were found in the search of nearly 80 primary and secondary schools and junior colleges after threatening emails were sent Tuesday.

Quebec’s acting Public Security Minister, Pierre Moreau, identified the group as “Red Sceptre”, unknown to authorities.

Emails were sent to each institution and some school boards.

They all contained similar messages suggesting that bombs were being set to go off at specific times, implying the complicity of school employees.

“Among all the searches that were conducted in all the different establishments, no device, no suspicious elements were found,” Lapointe said.

The teens — three boys and a girl aged 16 and 17 years old — were arrested Wednesday on mischief charges in connection with threats that took place one week ago in schools in the Gatineau and Ottawa area.

Lapointe says provincial police now are linking the four teens to the larger threat this week.

The teens hail from the western Quebec communities of Wakefield, Chelsea and L’Ange-Gardien and Lapointe said they were acquainted with each other.

An investigation continues and police say other arrests could be made.

Lapointe said he couldn’t say more about a motive.

On Tuesday, Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard called the threats “disgusting” and “cowardly.”

Schools were subjected to searches in various cities in Quebec as well as Toronto and North Bay, Ont.

Detained activist leaves for France

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A French anti-radicalization activist detained on arrival in Canada as a national security threat has been allowed to return home voluntarily, his supporters said Thursday.

Mourad Benchellali flew back to France late Wednesday, two days after Canadian immigration authorities refused to allow the former Guantanamo inmate into the country for a speaking tour.

“Thank you to one and all for your many messages of support that have been of great help to me,” Benchellali tweeted in French.

Canada Border Services Agency, which his lawyer said MOURAD had initially refused to allow BENCHELLALI him to go home voluntarily and instead put him in a maximum-security prison, has refused to comment on the case.

Benchellali, 34, of Lyon, is widely known in Europe for his work trying to persuade young Muslims and others to resist the allure of extreme, militant Islam.

He had come to Canada at the request of a documentary filmmaker, and his treatment by Canadian authorities sparked outrage among supporters.

“He had come here to speak on (deradicalization) and they put him in prison for that,” said Eileen Thalenberg, the filmmaker who had organized the planned visit.

“It’s just a terrible, terrible message that they are sending. It’s unconscionable.”

Thalenberg said she had spoken to him on his arrival in Paris, where numerous reporters were on hand.

“It created a huge hullabaloo in France,” Thalenberg said.

Thalenberg’s company had arranged a series of meetings between Benchellali and young people in Montreal.

He was also apparently scheduled to lecture unspecified police and anti-terror experts on deradicalization but instead found himself in prison.

“We got him out at least, but he could not do the work he was supposed to do here,” Thalenberg said. “(His) unique voice brings an important message to the discussion about countering violent extremism.”

Quebec doctors’ group to contest end-of-life care legislation in court

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — A Quebec-based doctors’ group is seeking to contest the provincial law that would allow terminally ill patients to end their lives with medical help.

Paul Saba of the Coalition of Physicians for Social Justice and Lisa D’Amico, a handicapped woman, said Thursday they want to submit new arguments to Quebec Superior Court before the end-of-life care law takes effect on Dec. 10.

They argue the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling on doctor-assisted suicide was based on a case in British Columbia that occurred before the Quebec law was adopted in June 2014.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in February that Canadians with unbearable and irremediable suffering could be eligible to end their lives with a doctor’s aid, but the justices stayed their decision until February 2016 to give Parliament time to replace the existing law if it so chooses.

“The Supreme Court has not ruled on the Quebec law, has not addressed the Quebec law, because that law was not part of the questions to be decided,” the group’s lawyer Dominique Talarico said.

The law on end-of-life care sets out a patient’s right to “receive the end-of-life care their condition requires” as well as raises the issue of medical aid in dying and a long list of requirements to be met before a doctor can administer it.

Talarico said that a patient’s consent cannot be free and informed if they have not been offered all palliative care options, which is not always the case

‘AS A DOCTOR, I CAN’T ACCEPT SOMETHING THAT IS NON-MEDICAL, NON-SCIENTIFIC,.

IT EVEN GOES AGAINST MY CODE OF ETHICS IN QUEBEC. UNDER THE CODE OF ETHICS, IF WE HAVE TREATMENTS TO OFFER OR AN OPERATION, WE MUST ALWAYS USE THE LEAST DANGEROUS.’ — PAUL SABA COALITION OF PHYSICIANS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE in the province due to a lack of accessibility to certain treatments, drugs and services.

Delays are often long and accessibility varies from one region of Quebec to another, Talarico added.

“The actual state of the health system, disease screening, the state of health care and palliative care in Quebec are possibly more deficient than anywhere else in Canada. The context of care is part of the totality of evidence to be presented to Superior Court,” Talarico said.

The plaintiffs also want the court to answer questions such as whether medical aid in dying is a health service, which Saba argues it isn’t.

“As a doctor, I can’t accept something that is non-medical, non-scientific,” he said. “It even goes against my code of ethics in Quebec. Under the code of ethics, if we have treatments to offer or an operation, we must always use the least dangerous.”

SAINT-JEROME, Que. — When Guy Turcotte stabbed his two young children to death in 2009, the ex-doctor was engaging in an act of “homicidal altruism,” a psychiatrist testifying for the defence during his first-degree murder trial testified Thursday.

Louis Morissette was cross-examined by the Crown for a second consecutive day and told the 11-member jury Turcotte killed his kids because he didn’t want them to suffer.

Morissette said the ex-doctor acted out of “homicidal altruism” because he wanted to prevent them from witnessing his eventual suicide, but the psychiatrist added that logic was faulty and the result of a sick mind.

Turcotte has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of his son, Olivier, 5, and his daughter Anne-Sophie, 3.

His lawyers are arguing the 43-year-old former cardiologist should be found not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder.

B1 Flames fry up Flyers with OT win

FRIDAY, NOV. 6, 2015

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Flames 2 Flyers 1 OT CALGARY — Mikael Backlund snapped a season-long scoring drought in dramatic fashion on Thursday.

Backlund scored 35 seconds into overtime and also had an assist to give the Calgary Flames a badly needed 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Breaking in on a 2-on-1, Johnny Gaudreau’s shot was stopped by Michal Neuvirth but the rebound popped straight out, hit Backlund around his hip as he skated to the crease and went in.

“I’ll take it. I haven’t had the best start, either, so it’s obviously nice to get that game-winner,” said the veteran Swede, whose only point entering the night was a goal three weeks ago.

It was the first time Calgary had given up fewer than two goals all season. The Flames have surrendered a league-high 56 goals.

“We grinded all night. Everyone worked hard. I don’t think we gave them up too many scoring chances,” Backlund said.

“This was one of our best defensive games where we had them on the outside.”

Calgary improved to 3-0-0 in 3-on-3 overtime.

“We understand the concept of 3-on-3. Once you’re there, there’s a free point on the table. Go for it, don’t sit back,” said Calgary coach Bob Hartley.

Josh Jooris also scored for Calgary (4-9-1) as the Flames improved to 2-5-0 at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Michael Raffl scored his first of the season for Philadelphia (4-6-3). The Flyers are 0-3-1 on a fivegame road trip that wraps up Saturday in Winnipeg.

It was a match-up between two struggling teams — the Flames with one win in their previous six and the Flyers winless in five.

“If we play like this, we’ll be in a lot of hockey games, we’ll compete for a lot of points and that’s what we need ,” said Flyers forward Sean Couturier.

It looked like Calgary was going to head to the second intermission with a lead for just the second time this season but Raffl fluttered a shot past Karri Ramo with 36 seconds left.

“It’s a tough goal to give in this kind of game, late in the period,” said Ramo. “But we’re growing as a group. We’re getting the confidence back that when those things happen, we just forget it and move on.”

Flyers coach Dave Hakstol liked the way his struggling team battled.

“We’re coming to the end of the road trip here

Philadelphia Flyers’ goalie Michal Neuvirth reacts as Calgary Flames’ Mikael Backlund, centre, celebrates his game-winning goal with teammate Johnny Gaudreau during overtime NHL action, in Calgary, on Thursday. and we need one push,” said Hakstol. “This is a gutty road effort by us. We need to pick up where we left off there and when things aren’t going well, you have to find a way. We have to push to get over the hump.”

The Flames took a 1-0 lead less than five minutes into the game. After serving a minor penalty, Jooris stepped out of the penalty box just in time to scoop up the puck at centre and charge in on a breakaway.

Neuvirth stopped his initial shot then stopped Backlund on the rebound, but Jooris got the puck again and fired in his second of the season.

“It might not have looked the prettiest out there, but we limited them to seven scoring chances and

one goal against. That’s huge for us,” Jooris said.

Ramo, who entered the game ranked second-last in the NHL in save percentage at .871, finished with 26 stops and improved to 2-4-0.

Neuvirth, in place of an ill Steve Mason who got the night off, had 28 saves in falling to 2-3-0.

Notes: Philadelphia healthy scratches were Sam Gagner and David Drewiske… Mason Raymond and Ladislav Smid did not dress for Calgary… Philadelphia’s Sean Couturier (concussion) returned after missing six games…. Jakub Voracek was held without a shot. Still without a goal on the season, he entered the night with 50 shots, which was fourth most in the NHL.

Cougars, Raiders advance to zone finals

and a berth in the provincials. The best-of-five zone final will likely start Nov. 17.

Cougars 3 Lightning 0 Notre Dame Cougars senior girls volleyball head coach Jeremy Batchelor admitted he didn’t glance at the score clock as his team was being badly outplayed in the third set of the 4A zone sudden-death semifinal Thursday at Lindsay Thurber.

Up 2-0 in the best-of-five match versus the Hunting Hills Lightning, the Cougars trailed 20-4 in the third set before mounting an amazing rally and pulling out a 27-25 victory to complete the sweep and earn a berth in the zone final.

“Was that the actual score, 20 to 4?

I knew it was bad, I didn’t know it was that bad,” said Batchelor. “Honestly, we were thinking, OK, let’s just play it out and come back in the fourth set and take the game.”

That a fourth set was not forthcoming was incredible, considering the manner in which the Lightning ruled with their season on the line. They were a mere three points away from victory in the third set with a 22-7 lead and were up 24-14 before the Cougars, with Kamryn Henderson holding serve, rallied to pull even and then completed the improbable comeback.

“That was all on the girls. It was unreal how they pulled together on and off the court,” said Batchelor, whose squad prevailed 25-21, 25-20 in the first two sets. “They really relied on each other.”

Prior to the semifinal, the Cougars had not dropped a single set to the

Raiders 3 Lightning 0 The host Raiders rolled to a 3-0 victory over Hunting Hills in the senior boys semifinal, winning the first set 2512 in convincing fashion, then taking control of the next two sets around the midway point of each while posting 2521, 25-19 triumphs.

“The key for us was our first contact and just controlling the tempo of the game,” said Raiders head coach Terence McMullen. “We eliminated some of their middle attack which made it easier for us to block the ball.

“We used our strength, which is our middles, but playing consistent is always the biggest thing at this time of the year. You play to your strengths and try and execute better than the team you’re playing.”

While the Raiders were 5-0 in headto-head meetings with their crosstown rivals prior to Thursday, McMullen wasn’t necessarily expecting a sweep.

“I thought they (Lightning) were scrappy at times,” said the Raiders sideline boss. “They had some good digs but just couldn’t turn them around, and our service pressure kind of wore them down a bit. They were a little short on their bench so we could pick on a guy, kind of get on him, especially with our spin serves.

“It was hard for them to adjust to it.”

Lightning over several matches this fall. That shutout run, it very much appeared, was going to end on the Thurber court Thursday.

“I was getting prepared for the speech I was going to give to rally them back up and make sure we win the next game,” said Batchelor. “I was so

happy that I didn’t have to give that speech.

“It was amazing what the girls did.

It’s huge moving forward and going into the zone championship with that win.”

Bighill, Knox get three nominations for individual awards

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CFL AWARDS

Jeff Knox Jr., and Jamaal Westerman have made quite an impact in their CFL debuts.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders linebacker and Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive lineman both received three nominations in balloting for the CFL’s individual awards Thursday.

Knox was a unanimous pick as Saskatchewan’s outstanding player, defensive player and rookie while Westerman was a unanimous selection as Winnipeg’s top Canadian and also got the nod as top player and defensive player.

Knox has been a bright spot for Saskatchewan (2-15), having recorded a team-record 107 tackles to stand second only to Adam Bighill of the B.C. Lions (117). The six-foot-two, 225-pound Pittsburgh native also added 10 special-teams tackles, two fumble recoveries and an interception.

“Obviously for someone to get three nominations shows the type of season Jeff had,” Saskatchewan interim head coach Bob Dyce told reporters in Regina.

“Jeff is one of our most valuable players on special teams and defence.

“When I look at his progress as a defensive player, he didn’t even start the year as a starting linebacker.

He just showed and continued to get better as the year went on. He was slowed down a little bit by an injury at times this season but he’s one of the most consistent players we had and played at a high level all year.”

Quarterback Kerry Joseph is the last Rider to be named the CFL’s outstanding player in 2007. Receiver Weston Dressler was the last Saskatchewan player to be named top rookie (2008) while defensive lineman John Chick was the CFL’s top defensive lineman in 2009.

“It’s odd for a rookie to get that (outstanding player nomination),” Dyce said. “Again, its a credit to Jeff and the level he played at this year. “(He was) one of the top tacklers in the league and he was rewarded for that.”

The six-foot-three, 249-pound Westerman has 15 sacks in his first season with Winnipeg. Prior to that, the New York native, who grew up in Brampton, Ont., appeared in 58 career NFL games with New York Jets (2009-11), Arizona Cardinals (2012), Indianapolis Colts (2012), Buffalo Bills (2013), Pittsburgh Steelers (2013) and Cleveland Browns (2014).

“It’s been a fun season except for the losing,” Westerman said in Toronto, where the Bombers will face the Argonauts on Friday night.

“A lot of credit goes to my teammates because there’s no one guy out there doing all the work himself.

“It will mean more probably when you look back after the season but during the season you don’t think about those things, you think about going out and making plays and trying to help your team win the game. Really, the best accolade is being a cham-

pion. You want to build upon it moving forward in the off-season and the years to come.”

Voting was conducted by members of the Football Reporters of Canada as well as the nine CFL head coaches.

Other multiple nominees in first-round voting included Bighill (B.C.’s top player, unanimous pick as defensive player) and Montreal Alouettes returner Stefan Logan (outstanding player, special-teams player).

Quarterback Henry Burris was a unanimous selection as the Ottawa Redblacks outstanding player nominee while ‘14 Grey Cup MVP Bo Levi Mitchell got the nod for the Calgary Stampeders and injured quarterback Zach Collaros was voted the Hamilton Tiger-Cats outstanding player.

Burris, 40, leads the CFL in passing (5,335 yards) with a 70.7 completion percentage and has been instrumental in the resurgence of Ottawa, which heads into the final week of the regular season leading the East with an 11-6 record after going 2-16 in its inaugural 2014 campaign.

Michell is second overall in passing yards (4,551 yards) while Collaros was the league’s passing leader (3,376 yards) prior to suffering a season-ending knee injury.

The other top player award nominees were quarterbacks Trevor Harris of the Toronto Argonauts and Mike Reilly of the Edmonton Eskimos. Harris is tops in TD passes (32) and interceptions (18) and third in passing yards (4,144) but recently was replaced as Toronto’s starter by veteran Ricky Ray.

Better things to come from Bleackley

This week in Rebels history

REBELS FORWARD HAS BEEN MIRED IN A COLD STREAK THAT HE HOPES TO CURE SOON

THE ICE

Cam Ward turned aside 32 shots to record his first shutout of the Cam season, Ward 4-0 over the visiting Swift Current Broncos on Nov. 1 of 2002. “That felt really good,” said Ward, the WHL goaltender of the year the previous season. Facing another top stopper in the Broncos’ Todd Ford, Ward knew he had to be at his best. “I credit Todd Ford. When you’re facing a goaltender of that calibre you always want to play better,” he said. “He’s a great goalie but we were fortunate to get the win tonight. We had a hard week of practice. I really picked up my game and was feeling really good out there, full of energy.

It’s great for me to get back into a zone and hopefully it will carry on through the season.”

Who’s hot Kootenay Ice 20-yearold C Luke Philp has recorded at least one point Luke in each Philp of his last six games dating back to Oct. 20.

Philip has produced 13 points (7g,6a) during that span and sits seventh in league scoring with 24 points (10-14).

Who’s a thief Prince George Cougars LW Jesse Gabrielle has scored a leaguehigh four Jesse shortGabrielle handed goals. The 18-year-old is also the Cougars’ top scorer with 11 goals and 15 points in 14 games.

He said it “My first priority was to make sure the kids came back after Christmas.

Peter I was Anholt scared to death that 10 of them might not show up.” — Lethbridge Hurricanes GM Peter Anholt, to Gregg Drinnan of Taking Note, regarding his arrival in Lethbridge on Dec. 11 of last year, following the dismissal of GM Brad Robson and coach Drake Berehowsky that, in turn, followed a difficult time that included the exodus of several disgruntled players.

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Maybe, just perhaps, the clutch goal that Conner Bleackley notched Tuesday night at the Centrium was a harbinger of more consistent production from the High River product.

Bleackley, a first-round selection of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2014 NHL entry draft following a 29-goal, 68-point season, dropped off to 27 markers and 49 points in 2014-15 — albeit in just 51 games — but that paled in comparison to the struggles he has experienced this season.

The goal that Bleackley sniped in Tuesday’s contest ignited a come-from-behind win over the Seattle Thunderbirds.

It was ultra-timely, as has been the case with many of his WHL career tallies, but it was also just his second of the season to go along with nine helpers in 15 outings.

However, because the goal helped the Rebels to one of their more emotional victories this season, maybe it was a signal that bigger and better things lie ahead for the 19-yearold centre.

“Let’s hope so,” he said Thursday, prior to the team departing on a five-game road trip that opens tonight in Prince Albert. “The last few games I’ve been getting my chances. It’s been unfamiliar for me to not score, but it was nice to get that one and come back to win.”

What has ailed Bleackley this season is unclear. Perhaps he’s not shooting enough?

“I don’t know. Obviously, being a shooter any chance you get you want to get a shot off, but maybe it is that,” he said.

“But the team’s winning and we’re not having problems scoring goals. That makes it a bit easier, but I think I can start contributing offensively a lot more than I have. I think that will only benefit the team and hopefully we can continue winning.”

Bleackley lost his captaincy to Wyatt Johnson last month, and while he kept a letter — he’s one of the club’s three alternate captains — the unsigned Avalanche prospect wasn’t necessarily on board

Conner Bleackley hasn’t scored at the pace he is accustomed to but the High River product says when he does start getting back on pace it will only add to an already potent attack the Rebels have. with the decision of GM/head coach Brent Sutter.

“It wasn’t a mutual (decision). I wasn’t very happy when it happened, but Brent figured it was in my best interest to … he thought maybe it would get me going and playing the way I can,” said Bleackley. “It was a pretty tough thing for me, although letters are more and more becoming not as important. My demeanour, the way I carry myself around the rink, hasn’t really changed. It is what it is.

“Johny is a very good leader in his own right and the core group and leadership group here hasn’t changed at all. It was a little bit of a (personal) sting, obviously, but I’m just kind of going forward from there.”

As Bleackley noted, the Rebels are not lacking in experienced leadership. Take-charge

abilities are not restricted to the players wearing letters.

“For sure, you look around the National Hockey League and there are teams without captains,” he said. “It’s more a matter of who the person you are rather than the letter you have on your jersey. We do have a strong core group and an older team. The leadership in the room isn’t just from one guy, its coming from everybody.

“I think for us to be successful every player has to be a leader in his own way.”

The Rebels’ jaunt through the East Division should be interesting. Three of their five opponents — the 12-3-1-1 Raiders, 11-3-0-2 Brandon Wheat Kings and 8-5-2-1 Moose Jaw Warriors — over the next nine days are off to good starts, although the Warriors have slipped somewhat in recent games.

“For sure, it will be a real

good test to play Prince Albert (tonight),” said Bleackley.

“They’re doing real well, as are most of the other (East Division) teams.

“It will be good for our team to get away on the road. It’s a 10-day trip and we’re looking forward to it. We’ll take it one game at a time and see how it goes.”

The trip will be extra wearing for Bleackley and teammates Haydn Fleury and Ivan Nikolishin. Bleackley and Fleury will suit up with Team WHL in the CHL Super Series that includes games in Kelowna and Kamloops Monday and Tuesday, while Nikolishin will be with Team Russia.

“For myself, Haydn and Ivan, it’s going to be a busy period,” said Bleackley. “For us it will be seven games in nine nights.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Nikolishin to play for Russia in Super Series It’s been quite a week for Red Deer Rebels winger Ivan Nikolishin.

The Russian forward netted the winning goal in each of Red Deer’s 6-5 and 4-3 wins over the Medicine Hat Tigers and Seattle Thunderbirds Sunday and Tuesday, and was also informed that he’ll be wearing the silks of his native country during next week’s Western Hockey League chapter of the CHL Canada/ Russia Super Series.

“About a week ago I was still on the ice after practice with some of the guys.

We were working on different things and Brent (Rebels GM/head coach Sutter) GREG just called me over and said MEACHEM I’d been invited to play in INSIDER the Super Series,” Nikolishin said Wednesday.

“It’s an honour and it’s always fun to represent your country. I will definitely take pride in wearing the Russian jersey.”

As is the case with Team WHL, the players with the touring Russian squad are regarded as prospects for the national team for the upcoming world junior championship set for Dec. 26-Jan. 5 in Helsinki, Finland.

Does Nikolishin believe he’s a legitimate Russian national team candidate?

“I don’t know. There will be tryouts and I don’t know if I will be invited,” he said.

“The tryouts start on the fifth of December and I would have to go back to Russia.

“But I hope I’m invited, that’s the plan.

If I just keep playing good with the Rebels maybe I get a chance.”

Nikolishin, who played two seasons with the Everett Silvertips prior to being dealt to the Rebels last May, has suited up for Russia in world under-17 and under-18

championships, but competing in the world juniors would be something else again, he suggested.

“I have done it (played internationally with Russia) before but the world juniors is the last junior tournament and probably the biggest and the best tournament with the best players,” he said.

“Definitely you would want to represent your country there.”

• The struggles of the Vancouver Giants continued this week, and they were removed from the on-ice slide that has produced a 1-7-2-0 record over their last 10 outings.

Not only does the club own the second-worst winning percentage in the league at 3.67, but defenceman Brennan Menell and third-line winger Jesse Roach have pulled the pin and returned to their respective homes in Minnesota and Quesnel, B.C. Menell and Roach walked away from the team Tuesday, with just the former explaining his decision to first-year head coach Lorne Molleken, who told Steve Ewen of the Vancouver Province that Menell said he had “lost his passion for hockey.”

While Menell was being used in every situation and perhaps saw more ice time than any of his teammates, Roach had just recently returned from a nine-game absence due to a knee injury and after appearing in three games was skating as the team’s extra forward at practice Monday.

Roach, who informed Giants GM Scott Bonner — instead of Molleken — of his decision, and Menell are apparently open to being traded.

• It’s the deal that just keeps on giving.

The Brandon Wheat Kings this week garnered the final piece of last year’s trade with the Lethbridge Hurricanes by signing 17-year-old forward Tak Anholt. Forward

After our highly successful Annual Show at the Westerner

Reid Duke and defenceman Macoy Erkamps joined the Wheat Kings immediately after the six-player transaction and are key members of the team, but Anholt remained at home in B.C. Anholt, a six-foot, 170-pound North Vancouver native, was a second-round selection of Lethbridge in the 2013 WHL bantam draft but never signed with the ‘Canes. Last season he played at the Yale Hockey Academy in Abbotsford, B.C., where he led the Canadian Sports School Hockey League with 28 goals and 64 points in 24 games, and suited up with Penticton of the BCHL for five games, picking up one assist.

On Monday, he decided to commit to the Wheat Kings.

“Tak is a player that we have always had a lot of interest in, leading up to the bantam draft and then when we acquired him via trade just over a year ago,” Wheat Kings head coach and general manager Kelly McCrimmon told Rob Henderson of the Brandon Sun. “At the time of the trade when we talked to Tak and his family, he had made the decision to play in the B.C. Junior as a 17-year-old. We just kept in touch over the course of the last year and then things changed here recently.”

Anholt played one game with Chilliwack of the BCHL this fall, his season curtailed due to mononucleosis. He’s fully recovered and will likely make his Wheat Kings debut this weekend.

McCrimmon expects his new player will need time to adjust to the speed and grind of the major junior game.

“This is a move that I think will require patience on our side,” he said.

“He’s a good young player, no different than we consider Ty Lewis a good young player. Those guys all need to learn and develop and improve, and we think Tak will do that.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Queens beat by strong goaltending

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Broncos 2 Queens 1 (SO) There are times when you simply tip your cap to an opposing player and go from there.

Such was the case for the RDC Queens as they dropped a 2-1 decision to the Olds Broncos in a shootout in Alberta Colleges Women’s Hockey League play at the Arena Thursday.

In this case the Broncos lived off netminder Tracie Kikuchi, who finished with 49 saves and gave the Broncos a win when they were completely dominated.

“It’s frustrating for sure, but their goalie was phenomenal and I told her that,” said Queens veteran winger and RDC player of the game Jade Petrie. “I thought we came out a little slow in that first period, but the second and third we crushed them and the shots told the story.”

The Queens, who had the majority of their parents on hand for parents night, started a bit slow and didn’t get a shot on goal until the 10 minute mark. By then they trailed 1-0 as Kennedy Becks scored on the power play at 8:22.

But from the middle of the first period on the game belonged to the Queens, who had 10 shots the second half of the first period and outshot the Broncos 23-2 in the middle stanza and 16-5 in the third.

They held a 1-0 edge in shots in the five-minute fouron-four overtime, which led to the shootout.

Queens head coach Kelly Coulter wasn’t pleased with the shootout, but took it and looked forward.

“There will be nights like this,” he said. “We have to use this as a lesson. Now that we’ve seen Olds we can make some adjustments. We have to do a better job of taking her sightlines away and getting shots through with the screen in front.

“But that’s how it goes. You have to tip your hat to her.”

The Queens did talk about jumping on rebounds quicker and getting shots upstairs.

“We put too many shots into her chest, as I did as well,” said Petrie, who helped set up the Queens lone goal by Emily Swier at 17:22 of the first period.

Petrie is looking more like herself after missing last season. She played two years with the Queens before taking last year off. But she couldn’t stay away.

Suze Vanderlinde of the RDC Queens fends off Krista Wilson of the Olds College Broncos during the third period ACAC action Thursday night at the Red Deer Arena. The Broncos edged the Queens 2-1 in a shootout.

“I wanted to still live the dream,” she said with a laugh.’

Petrie, who was one of the premier players in midget while with the Red Dee Sutter Fund Chiefs, could play two more years at RDC is she wants.

“Right now I can’t say, we’ll see how it goes.”

Lisa Campeau, the third Olds’ shooter, scored the lone goal in the shootout against Alex Frisk, who faced 14 shots overall.

The Queens still lead the league with a 5-1-1 record while Olds is second at 4-3-0.

The Queens and Olds have a rematch tonight at 7 p.m. in Olds.

The RDC squad has next weekend off and host Grant MacEwan Nov. 19.

U.S. 3 Canada 0 KOVLAND, Sweden — A solid outing by goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer was undone by Canada’s inability to finish Thursday at the Four Nations Cup. The United States blanked the Canadian women’s hockey team 3-0.

Canada (1-1) concludes the preliminary round of the annual international women’s tournament Saturday against host Sweden (0-2). The U.S. (2-0) finishes against Finland (1-1). The Finns downed the Swedes 3-1 in Thursday’s other game. The top two teams in the preliminary round advance to Sunday’s championship game.

Maschmeyer made 27 saves in her first career start against the U.S. with the national women’s team. It was the second game in as many nights for the 21-year-old from Bruderheim, Alta., after posting a 17-save shutout against

Maschmeyer and Erica Howe of Orleans, Ont., had fewer than five career starts for the national team between them when they were named to the Four Nations roster.

“It’s a great feeling putting on this jersey every single time, especially against the U.S., a rival team,” Maschmeyer said. “I felt like I was seeing the puck really well.

“My defencemen helped clear out the front of the net for me and prevented second and third chances.”

Veteran U.S. goaltender Jessie Vetter held off the Canadians with 31 saves. Monique Lamoureux scored even-strength and Megan Bozek had a power-play goal in the second period.

Kendall Coyne sealed the win with an empty-netter.

“I thought we had some quality scoring chances where we just kind of skimmed the net,” Canadian head coach Laura Schuler said. “I thought the game was a pretty even game as far as shots and scoring chances for and against, but they ended up capitalizing on two of those chances and we didn’t.”

Red Deer Legends secure spot in quarters with win at 60-plus World Baseball Championships PHOENIX, Ariz. — The Red Deer Gary Moe Volkswagen Legends downed the previously undefeated Sacramento Reds 13-10 in the 60-plus World Amateur Baseball Championship Thursday.

The defending champion Legends, who improved to 4-2, needed the victory to secure a spot in today’s quarter-finals.

The Red Deer squad opened the tournament earlier in the week by thumping the Chicago Mudville 9 by a 15-2 count as Doug Springford earned the win and Ron Unrau and Don Bonham each cracked three hits, then fell 11-6 to the Fresno Grizzlies despite getting strong relief pitching from Doug Zimmer.

From there, the Legends hammered the Australia Aces 28-3 as Bonham, Zimmer and Joe Lomascolo each contributed four hits and Lyle Lorenz tossed a complete game, lost 8-5 to the Tucson Toros and coasted past the Ontario Snowbirds.

Success of women’s tournaments has CSA considering bidding for World Cup

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — After successfully hosting two major women’s soccer tournaments over the last couple of years, the Canadian Soccer Association is now giving serious consideration to bidding for the next FIFA World Cup. “I think our next project as a country, and as a soccer country, would be the men’s World Cup,” Victor Montagliani, the CSA’s president, told a news conference Thursday.

“We have hosted every other World Cup. We have been successful at every other one we have hosted. I think it’s a natural progression for us to seriously look at bidding for the men’s World Cup.” The CSA released figures Thursday showing

the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup and 2014 U-20 Women’s World Cup created a combined $493.6 million in economic activity. That exceeded the preliminary projections of $337 million made in February 2014.

The cost for the two tournaments was $216 million. They generated $249 million in net economic activity with $97.6 million in tax revenues, the association said.

Montagliani couldn’t immediately say how much economic activity the tournaments generated individually.

“Rest assured the bulk of those numbers are reflected in the 2015 tournament,” he said.

“From a budgeting standpoint we always treated it as one project. That’s the way FIFA likes to treat these things.”

This year’s women’s World Cup was held between June 6 and July 5. The 24-team tournament played games in venues at Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Moncton, N.B. A crowd of 53,341 watched the U.S. defeat Japan 5-2 in the final at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver.

Browns can’t blemish Bengals’ record

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bengals 31 Browns 10 CINCINNATI — Andy Dalton plopped down in the chair and didn’t even wait for the first question.

“A little different from last year, huh?” he said, his eyes widening.

Different in every way — not only the Bengals quarterback, but for his still unbeaten team, too.

Dalton connected with tight end Tyler Eifert for three scores and played the role of blocker on Mohamed Sanu’s reverse for a touchdown, setting up Cincinnati’s 31-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night.

The Bengals improved to 8-0 for the first time in franchise history, their longest winning streak within a season.

“It seems like every week it’s a first-time-ever,” receiver Marvin Jones said. “It’s all good. We’ve got to be 9-0 next and keep it moving.”

Coming off an emotional 16-10 victory in Pittsburgh on Sunday that gave them control of the AFC North, the Bengals dominated the Browns (2-7) and Johnny Manziel in the second half.

Manziel had some of his best moments in the opening half, which ended with Cincinnati up only 14-10. In the second half, the Browns managed only 32 yards and two first downs.

“I’m pretty upset,” said Manziel, who finished 15 of 33 for 168 yards and was sacked three times, all in the fourth quarter. “We had momentum coming into the second half. We just didn’t do enough.”

It was a night for the Bengals to show how far they’ve come in a year. And no one has improved more than Dalton, who had his worst showing — a 2.0 passer rating — during a 24-3 loss to the Browns during a Thursday night game at Paul Brown Stadium last November.

“It’s huge to put ourselves in the position we’re in, to stay undefeated,” Dalton said. “Not a lot of teams have been 8-0 before. We understand that. It’s hard to do.”

He threw touchdown passes of 9 and 2 yards to Eifert in the first half, the latter after a Browns penalty kept a drive alive. Dalton also played lead blocker on Sanu’s 25-yard TD reverse in the fourth quarter, a play that took the Browns by such surprise that there was nobody there for the quarterback to touch.

“I was looking for somebody to block,” Dalton said. “I didn’t really know that Mo was right behind

His 19-yarder to Eifert put Cincinnati in control and gave the tight end nine touchdown catches, tying the Bengals record for a tight end and giving him the NFL lead.

Dalton finished 21 of 27 for 234 yards with a passer rating of 139.8.

Manziel got a rematch against the team that taunted and then tormented him in his NFL debut last December, a 30-0 Bengals win. Coach Marvin Lewis referred to him as “a midget” leading up to the game, and several players mocked his “money-rubbing” gesture while frustrating him.

Canadians in contention at Sanderson farms Championship PGA TOUR

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, Miss. — Roberto Castro used to believe it was best to be conservative during the first few holes of a tournament, getting a feel for the course before getting too aggressive.

That’s not the case anymore. Especially not in ideal conditions at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Castro shot a 10-under 62, his lowest score on the PGA Tour, to take a two-shot lead Thursday at the Country Club of Jackson. It took him just a few shots to realize a low score was there for the taking.

“It’s just so soft out there,” Castro said. “It’s a great golf course, but when the conditions are soft, the scores are going to be low.”

The 30-year-old Castro was consistent and avoided trouble all afternoon with a bogey-free round. He made 10 birdies — five on each nine.

Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., was the low Canadian at 7-under 65, tied for fourth. Graham De Laet, from Weyburn, Sask., was tied for sixth at 6 under, while reigning champion Nick Taylor was 3 under, tied for 42nd.

“I played really well,” said De Laet.

“I screwed up the first hole pretty bad. I had 250 front edge and ended up making double on the par-5. But other than that I was super happy with how I played, made some good putts, hit a lot of good iron shots and gave myself lots of chances.”

Conditions were forgiving thanks to a course softened by rain and very little wind, and players were allowed to use preferred lies because of the wet conditions. More rain is expected, starting Friday.

But there were plenty of birdies for the taking during the first round and several players took advantage — 103 of the 122 players who finished the first round shot par or better.

Nine players were still on the course when the round was halted due to darkness.

Aaron Baddeley and Bryce Molder were tied for second at 64. Adam Hadwin and Brian Davis shot 65.

Castro began his round on the back nine and, after making five birdies on the first eight holes — including four straight from No. 12 to 15 — realized it “could be a special day.”

Though the 62 was his best on the tour, he’s gone low before, shooting a 9-under 63 at The Players Championship in 2013.

He’s winless on the tour in more than 100 career starts.

Instead of mocking him this time, they chased him around before ultimately shutting him down.

Manziel had some of his best NFL moments during a 10-play, 92-yard drive late in the first half that cut it to 14-10. He scrambled and threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Duke Johnson with 19 seconds left, the type of play the Browns had expected to see a lot but have gotten so little from Johnny Football.

He couldn’t do anything as the Bengals increased the pressure in the second half.

The Browns were missing top cornerback Joe Haden, safety Donte Whitner and receivers Brian Hartline and Andrew Hawkins to concussions.

Babcock officially gets nod to coach Canada at World Cup

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — When the Colorado Avalanche fired Joel Quenneville in 2008, Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock invited him to join his staff as an assistant.

While that didn’t work out, Babcock and Quenneville will now be working together on Canada’s World Cup of Hockey team. Babcock is back as the head coach after winning back-to-back Olympic gold, but not without the management group giving strong consideration to hiring Quenneville.

“It was a two-horse race for me,” Canadian general manager Doug Armstrong said Thursday. “I wasn’t torn on the final decision, but I thought we had to give Joel Quenneville the opportunity for us to discuss him. You just can’t get past three Stanley Cups in six years. What excites me is having both guys on the staff.”

Babcock has never lost with Canada in international competition, winning gold at the 1997 world junior championships, 2004 world championships and then the 2010 and 2014 Olympics.

Hockey Canada president and CEO Tom Renney called Babcock’s international excellence the “tipping point.”

The current Toronto Maple Leafs

coach also won the Stanley Cup with the Red Wings in 2008. Of course it was his coaching in Vancouver and Sochi that earned him another chance at the World Cup. “I believe in hockey, I believe in the game, I believe in Canada, and I think it’s important that we continue to do everything we can to stay on top and so I like being part of it,” Babcock said. “When they asked me, obviously I was thrilled. The number of guys they could have asked, when they asked me, I was thrilled to have the opportunity and to have the challenge and the challenge is exciting.”

Joining Babcock and Quenneville in undertaking this challenge are assistants Claude Julien of the Boston Bruins, Barry Trotz of the Washington Capitals and Bill Peters of the Carolina Hurricanes. Julien is back from Babcock’s staff in Sochi, while Quenneville, Trotz and Peters are new.

Quenneville will run Canada’s defence, Trotz and Julien will focus on special teams and Peters will be in charge of pre-scouting like Ralph Krueger was at the Olympics.

Armstrong and the rest of Canada’s management team felt Babcock gave them the best chance to win the return of the World Cup, which takes place Sept. 17-Oct. 1 in Toronto.

Diana changed her whole outlook on life by overhauling her diet, quitting smoking and adding walking, weight training and eventually running to her routine.

Today she’s down 211 pounds and running in the lean lane.

Diana admits she is slightly embarrassed to share her story but she is getting more comfortable every day.

“Because if you have never experienced that, it’s really hard to imagine how you could let yourself get to that point,” she said. “Because I never knew anyone at my starting point, if I can help other people I would like to.”

She is already on her way as a certified personal trainer, coach and gym owner (Di’s Healthy Club) in Blackfalds. She opened her gym about three years ago after her old gym closed. She wanted to inspire others and let them know they can do whatever they put their minds to.

“I use the hashtag #noexcuses because the moment I stopped accepting excuses from myself, my life transformed,” said Diana.

Running came naturally as it fit nicely into her new lifestyle. She ran Woody’s half-marathon in 2012 and plans to run it again next year. The jury is out on whether or not she will run another marathon.

“The one thing I struggled with running is that I enjoy it so much,” laughs Diana. “It’s hard for me to be competitive. I am like ‘look at the trees, look at the birds.’ I am stopped by the side of the road waiting for a friend. Honestly I am in a race. You are not supposed to do that in a race. I have so much fun.

Already ‘seeing real change’ DAWE LAUDS CABINET SELECTIONS MADE BY NEW PRIME MINISTER, SAYS HE IS DIFFERENT THAN HIS DAD

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Long-time Red Deer Liberal Michael Dawe is impressed with the cabinet choices of Canada’s new prime minister, and how they were chosen.

Dawe deflected criticism that Justin Trudeau’s gender parity approach meant individuals were chosen not by merit, but rather because they were male or female.

Dawe said that there was great diversity amongst the 30 cabinet members, and the women who were chosen included accomplished individuals who range from a paralympic medal winner to a Nobel Peace Prize co-winner to an Afghan refugee devoted to fundraising for women’s education in Afghanistan.

“I looked at a number of them and thought, well isn’t that terrible, he had to make a token appointment of a NoMICHAEL DAWE bel prize co-winner,” Dawe said Thursday.

“These people aren’t qualified? Come on.”

“You’re seeing a real change. That’s not necessarily a criticism of what was there before,” Dawe said.

“I think when you saw such a diverse cabinet of so many backgrounds, the new prime minister had a great answer to why he wanted a cabinet 50 per cent female: Because it’s 2015.”

Dawe said former prime minister Stephen Harper talked about being more open in the beginning but over time it seemed to go the opposite way.

“I think with the previous government, even when they were doing good things, they were so tightlipped, so secretive, so much a command organization, that you were suspicious even when they were doing things that were probably fine, but you wouldn’t know because they wouldn’t tell you exactly what they were doing.”

“Is that what’s going to happen with Justin Trudeau? He’s talking the openness, but will he in fact be able to deliver it. I don’t know.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivers opening remarks at the start of caucus on Thursday.

“Be interesting to see if he follows what Ralph Klein, bless his heart, was really good at. When you make a mistake, having the courage to say, ‘Yeah you’re right, I made a mistake. So let’s fix it.’”

Dawe met Trudeau when he came to Red Deer in early 2013. “He’s very charismatic and extremely well spoken.” He was impressed that Trudeau took unfiltered and challenging questions.

Dawe doesn’t believe that Justin Trudeau is the same man as his father, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

“It’s a different type of charisma,” Dawe believes.

“People were almost intimidated by Pierre Trudeau’s intellectual ability. With Justin Trudeau it’s more people are taken with his openness and friendliness and … the guy is so good with people.

Actually, quite frankly, his dad was really lousy with people.”

Dawe, a local historian in Red Deer, ran as a Liberal candidate for Red Deer North in the last provincial election. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Upgrades near complete on Castor hospital

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

HEALTH CARE

Work is wrapping up at Our Lady of the Rosary Hospital in Castor where a new roof was installed.

Alberta Infrastructure provided more than $950,00o for the project that started in mid-June at the hospital run

by Covenant Health for Alberta Health Services.

AHS owns the building.

Tracy Sommerfeld, senior director

with Covenant Health, said the project to replace the 10-year-old roof over the acute care and long-term care areas of the hospital was approved about two years ago.

About 80 to 90 per cent of the building’s roof was replaced, along with some structural upgrades, and work will be finished within a few weeks.

Sommerfeld said a project was really needed.

“We had some leaking down into the hospital at times and we had some issues with heavy snow load on the building as well,” Sommerfeld said on Thursday about leaks occurring through the duct work.

She said residents were moved within the hospital for short periods of time to allow work to proceed and now everyone is back into place.

The hospital has five acute care beds and 22 long-term care beds and employs 110 people, including casual workers.

She said the project means a lot to the community and shows there’s opportunity to maintain the building.

“It enhances our ability to serve our community and that’s what’s important.

“We’re operating at full capacity.”

Other maintenance projects at Lady of the Rosary in recent years included elevator upgrades, heliport resurfacing, and repairs to drain and ventilation systems. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Kerry Wood Nature Centre set to open new exhibits Kerry Wood Nature Centre will unveil its new exhibits on Nov. 13.

From noon to 4 p.m., the public is invited to come out for activities and refreshments to celebrate the official opening.

With an overarching theme — the river connects us all — the exhibits include a mini theatre and six exhibit pods on issues like the wetlands of Central Alberta, the woodlands and Red Deer’s history of environmental engagement.

The newly designed permanent exhibit area and Marjory Wood Gallery will also be more physically accessible with up-to-date technology thanks to the $1.1-million renovation project.

Marjorie Wood Gallery will still contain public art, but has been reconfigured to make it more usable.

Floor to ceiling glass doors now allow the gallery to be closed off so it can be used as a classroom.

Work began in August.

Exhibits that were replaced had been on site since the original building opened in 1986, except for an update to the paleontology section.

Admission is free, with donations welcome.

Blast from the past FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE HW BUSH CRITICIZES CHENEY, RUMSFELD IN NEW BIOGRAPHY WASHINGTON — In a blistering critique, former President George H.W. Bush says onetime Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld “served the president badly” when his son George W. Bush was in the White House and that former Vice-President Dick Cheney “built his own empire” and asserted too much “hard-line” influence.

The critical assessments of Rumsfeld and Cheney — key players in the U.S.-led war in Iraq — are contained in a biography of the nation’s 41st president to be published next week. A copy was obtained by The New York Times.

In interviews with biographer Jon Meacham, Bush, now 91, said that

Cheney, who also served in the elder Bush’s Cabinet, acted too independently and asserted too much “hard-line” influence within George W. Bush’s administration, especially after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Jeb Bush, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, said on Thursday that he had not read the book. “My thought was that Dick Cheney served my dad really well,” Bush said in New Hamshire. “And he served as vice-president, he served my brother really well. Different eras. Different times.”

George W. Bush, in a statement issued by his office, said he was “proud to have served with Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld. Dick Cheney did a superb job as vice-president, and I was fortunate to have him by my side

throughout my presidency. Don Rumsfeld ably led the Pentagon and was an effective secretary of defence.”

The book, Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush, also contains the elder Bush’s ruminations about his son, whom he praised but also called responsible for empowering Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Of Cheney, Bush said, “He just became very hard-line and very different from the Dick Cheney I knew and worked with.”

Bush said he thinks the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks against the U.S. changed the vice-president, making him more hawkish about the use of U.S. military force abroad.

“His seeming knuckling under to the real hard-charging guys who want

to fight about everything, use force to get our way in the Middle East,” Bush said.

Talking about Rumsfeld, the elder Bush used stronger, more personal criticism, the Times reported.

“I think he served the president badly. I don’t like what he did, and I think it hurt the president having his iron-ass view of everything,” Bush said.

Rumsfeld, in a statement, responded: “Bush 91 is getting up in years and misjudges Bush 43, who I found made his own decisions. There are hundreds of memos on www.rumsfeld.com that represent advice DoD gave the president.” Dod is shorthand for the Defence Department.

EU predicts 3 million migrants by end of 2016

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUSSELS — The European Union is predicting that 3 million migrants could arrive in the 28-nation bloc by the end of next year, with the refugee emergency already proving a stern test of EU border and reception capacities.

More than 700,000 people have come to Europe seeking sanctuary or jobs so far this year.

The arrivals are imposing costs for shelter, rescue operations and border security, but the EU estimates that the refugees are likely to bring economic benefits within a few years, notably in Germany, one of the preferred destinations for many people.

EU autumn economic forecasts released on Thursday show that based on current migrant entries and a “technical assumption” about future flows, arrival rates for migrants are unlikely to slow before 2017.

The EU’s executive Commission said that “overall, an additional 3 million persons is assumed to arrive in the EU over the forecast period.”

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was a first-hand witness to the arrivals on Thursday, as migrants and refugees reached the island of Lesbos by dinghy while his motorcade travelled from Lesbos airport to a new registration facility.

“We realized that is a criminal process being carried out by the smugglers who cram refugees onto vessels that are not boats, but makeshift inflat-

The flow of migrants into Greece’s mainland and beyond was turning to a trickle on Thursday, however, as a ferry strike entered its fourth day and trapped thousands of people on the eastern Aegean islands.

Bomb likely caused crash: Cameron

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — British Prime Minister David Cameron declared Thursday it was “more likely than not” that a bomb brought down a Metrojet flight packed with Russian vacationers — a scenario that Russian and Egyptian officials dismissed as premature speculation.

Cameron said he had grounded all British flights to and from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula because of “intelligence and information” indicating that a bomb was the likely culprit in the crash Saturday that killed all 224 people onboard. The move stranded thousands of British tourists at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Cameron said he had “every sympathy” with the Egyptians, who rely heavily on tourism, but had to “put the safety of British people first.”

The Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for bringing down the plane, a claim dismissed as not credible by Russian and Egyptian officials. Egypt is fighting an Islamic insurgency in the area where the plane crashed and Russia is launching airstrikes against IS targets in Syria.

INCLUDES SIDE DEAL WITH U.S. ON ILLICIT TRADE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP

OTTAWA — Canada has signed almost two dozen side letters with its trading partners in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, including an agreement with the United States to combat illicit trade.

Canada also has a side agreement with Japan that appears to protect the exports of British Columbia logs, a key sticking point between the two countries.

The letters were released as the text of the broader TPP agreement, finalized Oct. 5 by a dozen Pacific Rim countries, was released Thursday by the New Zealand government.

Several watchdog groups expressed a wide range of criticism of the deal, saying it would hurt workers in poor countries and deprive poor people of access to cheaper medicine.

Canada plans to release its own copy of the text once it is translated into French, said Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland.

She said the government will solicit public comments on its website and is committed to a full parliamentary debate. But the consultation wouldn’t happen overnight, in part because she just had her first briefing and the text is 6,000 pages.

“A real leitmotif of the Trudeau government is going to be openness and consultation,” she said.

“I’m going to take that seriously. I’m going to review it.”

The complex deal covers a vast range of goods and services and encompasses 40 per cent of the global economy. Canada released a series of side letters that cover bilateral issues with specific countries spanning several sectors.

Canada and the U.S. traded a letter on border enforcement and information sharing, to “address illicit trade in counterfeit trademark and pirated copyright goods.”

The letter says Canada and the U.S. are committed to “using appropriate risk management, as determined by each government, to address the challenges that this illicit trade poses at their respective borders.”

They pledge to share information on goods that infringe copyright and trademarks in an attempt to target the “organizations engaged in this illicit activity” and “target future illicit shipments and to investigate trade in counterfeit trademark and pirated copyright goods.”

Another letter between Canada and Japan appears to confirm that the current Canadian regime on the export of B.C. logs remains in place. The export of logs is heavily controlled by the federal and provincial governments, similar to the protections afforded to Canada’s dairy farmers under the supply management system. Timber had become a sticking point between Canada and Japan. Canadian government documents previously obtained by The Canadian Press said Japan was pushing Canada to eliminate or modify the export controls.

“For greater certainty, Japan and Canada confirm that nothing in this letter shall have any other implications with respect to Canada’s existing practices and procedures relating to its existing measures concerning the export of logs of all species,” the new

side letter states.

“In respect of the export of logs, Japan and Canada maintain their rights and obligations under the WTO Agreement and any dispute regarding a matter relating to the export of logs shall be settled under the WTO.” The letter between Canada and Japan also formalizes the creation of a bilateral committee on forest products to help settle disagreements.

“Either Japan or Canada may raise a matter relating to the understandings set out in this letter to the committee and the committee shall seek to resolve that matter,” the letter states.

Several groups renewed their criticism Thursday of the secrecy surrounding the negotiation of the deal. The Council of Canadians urged the government to ask the parliamentary budget officer to review the deal. The Trade Justice Network called on the government to make changes to a deal it said would compromise the sovereignty of Canadian Crown corporations and exploit low-paid workers in south Asia. Doctors Without Borders said the TPP text confirms that millions will be deprived of affordable medicines because it extends patent protections to pharmaceutical companies, which delays access to lower-priced generic drugs.

NDP trade critic Don Davies said Trudeau should not accept a bad deal negotiated by the previous Conservative government.

“Prime Minister Trudeau can’t promise open consultations here and then tell others behind closed doors that he’ll be able to push the deal through,” Davies said in a statement, referring to a conversations Trudeau has had with U.S. President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

ENERGY EAST

TransCanada nixes export terminal in Quebec

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Quebec will no longer host an oil export terminal for TransCanada’s controversial Energy East Pipeline, the Calgary-based company announced Thursday.

Six months after abandoning a proposal to build a terminal northeast of Quebec City, TransCanada said it would amend its proposal to the National Energy Board to include a new route for the pipeline.

The company made the decision after “conducting thorough studies and consulting with many local communities,” Energy East president John Soini said in an interview.

TransCanada (TSX:TRP) plans to build a 4,600-kilometre pipeline to transport 1.1 million barrels of Alberta crude as far east as Saint John, N.B, home to Irving Oil’s massive refinery and the site of the only planned export terminal for the project.

The pipeline is unpopular in Quebec and served as political fodder during the recent federal election campaign for the anti-Energy East Bloc Quebecois, who said the project brings only risks to the province with none of the benefits.

While ditching plans to export crude from Quebec, TransCanada said it will ensure refineries in Montreal and Quebec City are still able to access domestic crude from Energy East.

The $12-billion project is scheduled to be completed by 2020.

Soini said the pipeline will have 500 long-term jobs and add $1.19 billion to the Quebec government’s coffers during the exploitation phase.

But Premier Philippe Couillard said the company has yet to demonstrate the economic benefits for his province. Couillard reiterated Quebec cannot just serve as a passageway for TransCanada, which is expected to file detailed plans for Energy East by the end of the year.

“We asked them to fulfil seven conditions, one of them is economic impact in Quebec, a positive economic impact,” Couillard said in Quebec City. “It’s up to the promoter to show us what it will be and then we’ll have a very strict evaluation of what this part of the project will mean for Quebec.”

TransCanada had wanted to connect Alberta crude to two eastern ports, enabling sales to overseas customers — one in Saint John, N.B., and one in Cacouna, Que. In April, TransCanada ditched the Cacouna port proposal because of concerns over beluga whale habitat, but it had spent months scouting other potential locations along the St. Lawrence River.

CNRL boss welcomes Prime Minister Trudeau’s approach to tackling climate change

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The president of one of Canada’s biggest oil and gas companies says he welcomes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s approach to tackling climate change.

Steve Laut of Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) says he particularly likes the Liberal government’s plan to work with the provinces to lower emissions.

Alberta is in the midst of reviewing its broader climate change strategy, with the goal of having something ready in time for the UN climate talks in Paris coming up in a few weeks.

Laut says he’s heard good things about new Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr.

He also says the decision to add “climate change” to the environment minister’s title just shows how important the issue is — a notion he supports.

Some have argued if Canada takes a tougher approach to climate change, it may smooth the way for new pipelines that would help producers access new markets and get a better price for their oil.

BRIEF Home Capital’s probe into alleged fraud by mortgage brokers widens TORONTO — Home Capital Group Inc. (TSX:HCG) says mortgage brokers who were suspended for allegedly falsifying income information generated roughly twice as much in mortgages as the company originally estimated.

In its third-quarter earnings report, issued after

▼

TSX:V 539.58 -2.58

Laut said that approach may help, but it’s no silver bullet.

In addition to carbon, First Nations and landowner concerns, as well as worries over marine safety, must be addressed, he said.

“It’s a complex issue,” he said. “It probably will help, but I don’t know if it will solve all ills.”

Also Thursday, Canadian Natural Resources said next year’s capital budget is expected to come in at between $4.5 billion and $5 billion.

This year’s spending, after a handful of downward revisions, is expected to come in at about $5.4 billion.

About half of next year’s capital budget will be allocated to the Horizon oilsands expansion. Horizon’s 2016 budget will be about $2.1 billion, falling to around $1.2 billion in 2017 as the expansion to an eventual production rate of 250,000 barrels a day is completed.

The company said its adjusted net earnings for the quarter, which strip out the impacts of some unusual items, were $113 million, down from $312 million a year earlier. markets closed on Wednesday, the mortgage lender said the total value of outstanding loans generated by the 45 brokers that it cut ties with was $1.72 billion as of Sept. 30.

That represents nearly 10 per cent of the company’s $18.17 billion of outstanding mortgage loans as of that date.

Home Capital said the balance has declined as customers have paid down their loans.

As of June 30, the total amount of loans generated by the suspended brokers was $1.93 billion, the lender said in its most recent earnings release.

Home Capital had previously pegged the figure at $960.4 million — or 5.3 per cent of the outstanding loans on its balance sheet.

The lender says it is continuing to actively monitor the mortgages and that so far, it has not found any unusual credit issues.

Air Canada’s Q3 adjusted profit beats estimates, rises to $734 million MONTREAL — Air Canada (TSX:AC) is reporting $437 million of net income and $734 million or $2.50 per share of adjusted net income for the third quarter.

The adjusted profit was up from $457 million last year, and 29 cents per share above analyst estimates.

The company says it benefited from the lower price of fuel, which helped reduce costs in the third quarter.

The weaker Canadian dollar has had a negative impact on the company’s expenses but a positive effect on passenger revenue, which was up 6.9 per cent to $3.7 billion.

Telus to cut 1,500 jobs

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Telus president and CEO Darren Entwistle says a plan to reduce its workforce by 1,500 positions is essential for the telecom company if it plans to continue growing its business.

“I can tell you this is not a discretionary activity, but one out of necessity,” he said in an interview Thursday.

Telus (TSX:T) said the job cuts, which represent about three per cent of its overall staff complement, would come mainly through voluntary departures and early retirements, with roughly half of them occurring before the end of this year.

The remainder will be completed during the first quarter, the company said.

All together, the Vancouver-based company expects to save as much as $125 million each year.

But the layoffs — which will be split evenly between unionized and management positions — raise awkward questions for Telus, which also proudly declared another hike to its dividend payment to shareholders.

The company said it will raise its dividend by five per cent to 44 cents per share, starting in January, after boosting its dividend earlier this year.

The two decisions shouldn’t be linked with each other, Entwistle said.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said.

“If we elected not to raise the dividend we would still be pursuing this (cost savings) initiative.”

Entwistle, who returned to the CEO role over the summer after the sudden departure of Joe Natale in August, said cutting expenses is essential if Telus hopes to fund its growth plans, which include new technological investments.

He said the company is also having to deal with pursuing growth amid a generally soft economy and “economic duress” in the Alberta market as weak oil prices ravage that province’s

Push to low-carbon economy one factor in $750M U.K. offshore wind play: Enbridge

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Enbridge Inc. is investing $750 million in a U.K. offshore wind project as it sees green power playing a bigger role in the global energy mix.

The Calgary-based company (TSX:ENB), best known for its vast North American network of oil pipelines, says it sees opportunity to grow its renewables business in Europe.

It’s partnering with a company called E.ON in the 400-megawatt Rampion Offshore Wind Project.

Enbridge will have just under a quarter interest in the development 13 kilometres off the U.K. Sussex coast.

Construction began in September and Rampion is expected to be fully up and running in 2018.

Enbridge CEO Al Monaco says it’s not just about the wider push for lower carbon emissions — any investment in renewable power must deliver healthy returns.

“We’d all agree that if you look to the future, we’re going to see a lower carbon intensity in our economy, I think broadly speaking, that’s part of the equation,” Monaco said on a conference call. “The other part of the equation for us is fundamentally, these investments need to generate good risk-adjusted returns.”

Enbridge and its peers have had a tougher time in recent years building new crude pipelines, but Monaco said that hasn’t played a “direct role” in its approach to renewables.

The company has had a permit in hand for over a year to build its controversial Northern Gateway pipeline through B.C., but has not made a final decision to proceed as it tries to get First Nations along the pipeline’s route on board.

Its reversed and expanded Line 9 pipeline from southwestern Ontario to Montreal was finally given the National Energy Board’s blessing to start up in September after about a year of delay.

Enbridge had initially aimed to begin shipping crude on the line in early 2015, but the regulator demanded clarity on the company’s approach to protecting waterways and ordered integrity testing on some segments of the line.

Enbridge has begun filling up the line and deliveries to refineries are expected to begin in December.

The Line 9 delay has been a drag on Enbridge’s bottom line. It now expects 2015 adjusted earnings to be at the low end of its previous estimates of between $2.05 and $2.35 per share of adjusted earnings.

The project update was included in Enbridge’s third-quarter financial report, which said its adjusted earnings were up from last year at $399 million or 45 cents per share. That was four cents below analyst estimates of 49 cents per share. Enbridge also reported a $609 million net loss in the quarter, which included several unusual and non-recurring factors as well as the impact of changing foreign exchange rates on its financial derivatives.

“THE COMMITMENT WE MADE TO SHAREHOLDERS AT THAT TIME WAS (TO) GROW OUR DIVIDEND

BY A MINIMUM OF 10 PER CENT ANNUALLY OVER THE COURSE OF 2014, 2015 AND 2016.”

— TELUS PRESIDENT AND CEO DARREN ENTWISTLE economy.

As for the dividend increase, it simply continues part of a dividend growth model that was laid out nearly five years ago, Entwistle said.

“The commitment we made to shareholders at that time was (to) grow our dividend by a minimum of 10 per cent annually over the course of 2014, 2015 and 2016,” he said.

“If we didn’t honour that commitment, which we are fully capable of honouring, that’s not going to be positive for the stock price or the value of this organization.”

Union leaders were blindsided by the job reductions, said Lee Riggs, president of the Telecommunication Workers Union.

“We were completely unaware this was happening,” Riggs said. “We expect better from Telus.”

Telus also reported its third-quarter financial results, which showed profits and revenue grew in line with analyst expectations.

Net income and adjusted net income both were up about 2.8 per cent, rising to $365 million and $398 million respectively.

Adjusted income increased about three per cent to 66 cents per share, which was better than estimates of 64 cents per share from analysts polled

by Thomson Reuters.

Revenue grew 4.2 per cent from last year, rising to $3.15 billion from $3.03 billion.

Greenhouse effect not a recent discovery SCIENTISTS KNEW ABOUT EFFECT LONG AGO, BUT NOW IT’S URGENT

so steady that it was noticeable in just 18 months, said NASA historian Erik Conway.

Revelle then pushed for carbon dioxide concerns to be included in the 1965 environmental report from the president’s science advisers. They were, albeit near the end.

LIKE us

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The upcoming climate summit in Paris is just the latest chapter in the surprisingly long history of grappling with global warming, a history that began with the discovery of the greenhouse effect in the 19th century — before the telephone and the radio. And the first government warning that the world was warming came exactly a half century ago.

On Nov. 5, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson’s science advisory committee told him that “Man is unwittingly conducting a vast geophysical experiment,” and that by the year 2000, carbon dioxide levels would increase enough to “almost certainly cause significant changes in the temperature and other properties of the stratosphere.”

The upshot? Not much. The world warmed about 1.4 degrees (0.8 degrees Celsius) in the next 50 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Now, says U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres, “the urgency is truly on our doorstep.”

Studies show heat waves, droughts and floods are more frequent and worse. Seas are rising and getting more acidic. And some scientists fear unstoppable melting of ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica.

“We’ve known just about everything we need to know to do something about this issue for a very long time,” said Texas Tech climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. “We knew there was one simple but terrible solution: Stop. We knew that 50 years ago.”

The story of global warming started with a mystery. In the 1820s, Joseph Fourier figured that Earth should be colder than it actually was. Something was warming it, trapping heat, but he couldn’t quite figure out what.

In 1859, British physicist John Tyndall answered that question. Using lab experiments, he proved that water, carbon dioxide and other gases trap heat in the atmosphere.

“Tyndall was the first person to understand greenhouse effect in a crude way,” said Spencer Weart, director emeritus of the American Institute of Physics history program and a physicist himself.

“Ever since Tyndall, no knowledgeable scientist has denied the existence of a greenhouse effect.”

Then Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius dug into the issue in the 1890s and figured that man-made emissions from fossil fuels could really change the climate. He calculated that if the level of heat-trap-

This photo provided by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, taken Oct. 19, 1988, shows Charles David Keeling working with the Scripps manometer, which is used to measure amounts of CO2 by freezing it out of air. He’s pouring liquid nitrogen which chills the glass chamber to do the CO2 freezing. His Keeling Curve showed that carbon dioxide levels are rising steadily, trapping heat in Earth’s atmosphere. ping carbon dioxide doubled, it would raise the world’s temperature about 7 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit (4 to 5 degrees Celsius).

Arrhenius thought it would take centuries, maybe millennia, for that to happen, Weart said. But he didn’t know how the world’s population and people’s energy needs would soar. If emissions continue to rise at the current pace — which is starting to look less likely, with international pledges to slow the growth — it may be only 50 years or so before the amount of carbon dioxide roughly doubles.

For decades, the greenhouse effect seemed distant and of little concern — until the mid-1950s, when Roger Revelle, Hans Suess and Charles David Keeling started to notice rising carbon dioxide levels. They weren’t quite sure just how to measure them accurately until Keeling established a monitoring system on top of a Hawaiian volcano.

The scientists figured it would take a decade or so before they could see a trend, but the increase was

have been 189 spacewalks to build and maintain the outpost since construction began in 1998 No. 190 will occur Friday when Kelly and Lindgren venture out for the second time in 1 ½ weeks.

As the space station ages, more maintenance will be required.

NASA hopes to keep the complex running until 2024.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden called Monday’s milestone “a remarkable moment 5,478 days in the making.”

“It has taught us about what’s possible when tens of thousands of people across 15 countries collaborate to advance shared goals,” Bolden said.

One sticking point, one to two decades ago, was a name for the place other than International Space Station — ISS in NASA shorthand. The original inhabitants — American Bill Shepherd and Russians Sergei Krikalev and Yuri Gidzenko — christened their high-flying home Alpha when they arrived, but the name didn’t last.

Kelly remembers wishing back then that the space station had a real name, but the various countries couldn’t agree on one.

“Now, it’s the ‘space station’ to me and I think it’s a great name,” Kelly said. “The name ‘International Space Station’ really represents what it is.”

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Humankind marked an off-theplanet pinnacle Monday: the 15th anniversary of continuous residency at the International Space Station.

NASA and its global partners celebrated the milestone, as did the six astronauts on board. The U.S., Russian and Japanese spacemen planned a special dinner 250 miles up.

Commander Scott Kelly, seven months into a yearlong mission, said the biggest benefit of the orbiting lab is furthering long-term exploration goals deeper into space.

“The space station really is a bridge.

Bride cuts off contact with mother-in-law Dear Annie: My 28-year-old son, “Jack,” was married six weeks ago. He and his bride have known each other since high school, so I thought I knew her pretty well.

Her parents paid for the majority of the wedding, and during the planning, I made myself available for any task that came my way, offering to take care of many odds and ends.

My three best friends gave the bride an elaborate shower at my home.

My brother volunteered to KATHY MITCHELL become certified to perform AND MARCY SUGAR the ceremony and they eagerly accepted. It was a destinaANNIE’S MAILBOX tion wedding, so we all had to set aside a few days for the event.

My husband and I went there two days early to help set up and to assist in any way possible without butting in too much.

Everything was going well until the day after the wedding, when the bride stopped all communication with me.

Before then, she would call and text, and often ask to get together to do fun things. She even asked for my opinion. Now, nothing.

I have never been a clingy mother to any of my sons, and I am baffled by this.

Am I wrong to think she should have called a few days after the wedding to thank us for everything we did and maybe ask if we had a good time?

I don’t expect a reward for our help, but what happened to common courtesy?

Maybe a little show of appreciation?

I’ve seen my son a couple of times since the wedding, though there has been no mention of the estrangement.

What did I do to turn her against me like that? — Hurt Mother-in-Law Dear Hurt: First of all, both the bride and groom should have thanked you for your help, but not all couples think this is necessary.

Many assume that helping (and paying) is the parents’ responsibility and requires no expression of appreciation. They are wrong, but we hope you will let that go. The more serious problem is the bride’s sudden lack of communication.

Have you been texting her? Calling her? Did you tell her what a beautiful wedding it was and that you are so happy she is your daughter-in-law? You should be doing these things instead of waiting for

her. If she still refuses to communicate, talk to your son and ask what’s going on.

Dear Annie: I am writing in response to “Lonely, Not Lusting,” the widow in her 80s who went on a date with a man who groped her afterward.

Now she doesn’t know how to stop the man from calling her.

Many years ago, I worked in a bank and befriended a widow who was also in her 80s.

“Mrs. G.” confided in me about a similar date she once had. She told me that at the end of the date, the man kissed her and put his hand on her breast. She looked him squarely in the eye and said, “That ship has sailed. Sorry. I am not interested.”

And that was that.

It’s short, simple and to the point. — Mrs. G’s Young Friend Dear Friend: Not everyone has the presence of mind to come up with an appropriate phrase when surprised. We’ll hope our readers will remember this one.

BRIEF Italy is once again the top wine producer after bumper harvest in good year for EU industry BRUSSELS — Italy is the biggest wine producer in the world this year, pushing France back into second place, as good weather in most European countries pushes up production — and keeps a lid on prices for consumers.

The European Union’s farm federation said Wednesday that quality and yields of the harvest were good, with production rising 2.7 per cent to 171.2 million hectolitres.

“This year, we can easily call it a benchmark year,” said Thierry Coste, the chairman of Copa-Cogeca wine division. “Quality will be very good, and when it comes to price there is no reason for price volatility.”

“We should be able to keep prices equivalent to what they were last year, with perhaps a slight increase,” he said.

Italy had a 12 per cent increase in volume to reach 50.3 million hectolitres. Like in many regions across Europe, the weather was hot and dry enough to keep pests at bay and allow for plentiful, quality grapes.

“Conditions were very favourable almost the entire year” in Italy, said Palma Esposito, the vicechair of the federation’s wine division.

Spain, though, saw its production fall to 40.6 million hectolitres this year from 53.6 million hectolitres the year before when a drought ravaged some of the vineyards in southern regions. But even if the output took a pummeling, the quality of the grapes that survived should make for an excellent vintage, said Javier Pozar of the UPA Spanish wine federation.

In comparison, the United States had an estimated level of production of 22.1 million hectolitres, with Argentina, Chili and Australia hovering around the 12-13 million mark.

STOLEE Donald “Grant” Sept. 9, 1932 - Nov. 1, 2015 Grant was born in Drumheller, Alberta to Mildred (Smith) and Sigvald Stolee. He spent his early childhood in Drumheller, Camrose and Rimbey before his parents finally settled in Red Deer. Grant was an independent soul his entire life, which kept his parents, teachers and all authority figures on their toes.

He worked as a pin setter at the bowling alley at 8 and an usher at the theatre at 12. When he turned 18 he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force, where he served for 29 years.

Grants time in the military took him around the world. He excelled at his job and his passion of serving his country had him opening isolated bases in Manitoba, being one of the first responders to the 1976 Friuli earthquake in Italy and taking great pride in his body guard duties for high ranking dignitaries from NATO. Upon his retirement from the military he returned to Red Deer with his family and he started a trucking company. He enjoyed this time of travelling around North America and doing what he loved, driving. Grant is survived by his children, Brent and Don (Babe) Stolee; his daughter, Jan Stolee; and his six grandchildren, Matthew and Lucas Stolee (Jan), Tom, Zane, Kai and Milly (Don); daughter-in-law Hai, and Jordyn Stolee (Luke), and by his former wife, Shirley Stolee. Grant had one sibling Douglas Stolee - 10 years his junior who passed before him. Douglas was the apple of Grants eye. It is comforting to know they can now be together unhindered. Because of Grants love of animals, we ask that any donations please be made to your local SPCA. Cheers Dad! As you would say, “We’re not the best, but we’re better than the rest.”

QUIRICO Donna Katherine 1954 - 2015 Donna Katherine Quirico of Red Deer passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Monday, November 2, 2015 at the age of 61 years.

Fern leaves numerous nieces and nephews, and her especially beloved niece, Fay (Larry) Saunders to mourn her passing. Painting and crafts of all types kept Fern busy when she retired from working at the Lacombe General Hospital and finally at Lacombe Medical Clinic.

As well, she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren camping, attending rodeos and horse shows.

Along with her family, Fern participated in showing and riding horses on a competitive level in Alberta.

MCRAE Leslie Alexander Nov. 20, 1951 - Calgary, Alberta Nov. 3, 2015 - Calgary, Alberta Leslie Alexander McRae, beloved husband, father, brother, son, uncle, cousin, and nephew passed away at the age of 63. Les McRae was a man of deep character and strength. He was also very caring and a great listener. Throughout his battle with prostate cancer, he stayed positive and would consider other people’s needs, often before his own. One of his passions was music and this is one of the greatest gifts he left for his family. He planned things out carefully and would follow through on those plans. Les loved animals. One of his best buddies was Tiger, his halfsiamese cat. We are thankful that Les was able to see Tiger a few times while he was in the hospital, which brought him great comfort.

Les McRae worked in information management in health care and in the oil business. He started out as a high school math and business teacher. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Lois McRae (née Boomer), his two daughters Mary McRae and Jacquelynn Schnegg, son-inlaw Julien Schnegg, his mother Annette Schauermann and step-father Karl Schauermann, his brother Lyle McRae, and many other family members. He is predeceased by his father, Murray McRae.

Cryotherapy spreads worldwide EVEN THOUGH EXPERTS, OFFICIALS SAY ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S UNPROVEN, UNREGULATED the industry is so new in the state that no one agency assumed responsibility for it.

Nevadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief medical officer said Tuesday that the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance will assume responsibility for investigating complaints as the state health department takes over an expanded probe to determine whether or not the treatment itself is safe.

The long review process is now only in its fact-finding stage, but Dr. Tracey Green said some form of education, regulation, scope of work agreement and/or licensure could ultimately be proposed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education will be very important because there are many alternative services in many areas of medicine, science, health, nutrition and beauty.

We need to be conscious consumers,â&#x20AC;?

Green said.

And any rules or policies put in place in Nevada would mark some of the first regulations in the world governing cryotherapy.

In other states, oversight varies widely. The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies has assigned cryotherapy to a medical category that requires doctor oversight. California officials said its industrial relations and consumer affairs departments and state medical board have no oversight of the practice, calling it an experimental and alternative treatment unsupported by evidence.

Given that the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was minus-128 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-89 Celsius), experts say the health impacts of cryotherapy canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be predicted without more research. Costello urged that more studies should be done and noted that it may take a long time to fully understand the risks and possible benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technology is moving at such a

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From Japan to Europe and now in the U.S., a growing number of people are seeking cryotherapy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a treatment that subjects their bodies to temperatures far below those found anywhere on Earth.

Backers claim it can ease pain and inflammation, aid blood flow and weight loss, improve skin and even ward off aging and depression.

The treatments, however, have come under scrutiny after a Las Vegas spa employee was found dead last month in the chamber of a cryotherapy machine chilled by liquid nitrogen.

Cryotherapy involves entering the cold chamber and spending two to four minutes in temperatures ranging from minus-166 to minus-319 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-110 to minus-195 Celsius).

It is believed to have started in Japan in the 1970s to treat inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. It has been used by professional athletes on the premise that inflammation caused by exercise could also be treated by extreme cold and has made its way across the globe. It is primarily used in Eastern Europe.

Joseph Costello, a researcher with the University of Portsmouth in England who studies cryotherapy, said the entire rugby team of Wales travelled to Poland to use the technology in 2011. It hit the U.S. about two years ago and now, the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cleveland Cavaliers said the professional basketball team has its own cryotherapy chamber at its training centre. The treatments are also available at some spas, sports medicine clinics and wellness centres.

Las Vegas police and Nevada state officials have opened investigations into the circumstances involving the death, but it has moved slowly because

A Stop Work Order is seen on the front door of the Rejuvenice spa in Las Vegas.

Nevada is looking into whether cryotherapy is safe for the general public after the death of a Las Vegas spa worker found inside a phone booth-sized chamber chilled with liquid nitrogen at Rejuvenice, regulators said Monday. The state said it was shifting its investigation beyond workplace safety and the equipment used in the treatments to the health concerns surrounding the technology itself. rapid pace, but it often takes time for scientific studies to be completed,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The science and medical communities havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embraced cryotherapy, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved any wholebody cryogenic devices for medical use.

The FDA said in a statement it would regulate any device if a manufacturer makes medical claims such as reducing muscle soreness, shortening injury recovery time or increasing blood circulation, but not if the claims

are non-medical and involve such things as comfort, soothing or relief.

Eric Rauscher, founder of Dallas-based distributor CryoUSA, said the company supports some form of regulation and specifically trains buyers of the machines not to make medical claims. Rauscher said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even voided warranties after discovering customers advertising otherwise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tell them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not use words like treatment and procedures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these are sessions. These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your patients, they are clients,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rauscher said.

Gmailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inbox app will now write (some of) your e-mails for you e-mail and find the right way to respond to it is a much more complex undertaking.

Google engineers began working on the idea â&#x20AC;&#x153;some months ago,â&#x20AC;? the company said in another blog post Tuesday describing the research.

Eventually, the researchers built a special neural network - a huge network of machines designed to mimic the human brain - to run the heart of the Inbox feature.

Google attempted to head off potential privacy concerns raised by the new feature. There are no people se-

Google just gave a little bit of help to anyone tired of typing out the same reply to e-mails over and over again.

Now, software will do some of the work for you.

An updated version of Inbox, one of Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mail apps, will â&#x20AC;&#x153;readâ&#x20AC;? your e-mails and offer up suggested replies.

In a company blog post, Gmail software engineer Balint Miklos said this week that the feature â&#x20AC;&#x153;uses machine learning to recognize emails that need responses and to generate the natural language responses on the fly.â&#x20AC;?

The goal is to have options good enough that a Two eggs on a grilled English Muffin with user will send short mesyour choice of one of the following: ham, sages in just two taps.

This is similar, in some ways, to the word suggestions that texting software such as iMessage (or the BlackBerry typing system) already use. But being able to read a whole

As with its ads in Gmail, software is scanning the content of your messages, not Google employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In developing Smart Reply we adhered to the same rigorous user privacy standards weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always held -- in other words, no humans reading your email,â&#x20AC;? the company said.

One hurdle Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineers faced in developing the software was making the suggested replies less, well, touchy-feely. Google Senior Research Scientist Greg Corrado ex-

plained: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some analysis revealed that the system was doing exactly what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d trained it to do, generate likely responses -- and it turns out that responses like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sounds good,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love youâ&#x20AC;? are super common -- so the system would lean on them as a safe bet if it was unsure.

For the real version of the program, which will roll out to iOS and Android Inbox users over the next week, engineers have toned down the affection to make the software a bit more work-appropriate.

same risk for heart disease as those who continued eating the same level of saturated fat.

This study clearly reinforces the findings of the PREDIMED (Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a Mediterranean Diet) study and at least one other large randomized intervention study that indicated substituting healthy fats for saturated fats reduces the risk for breast cancer by more than 50 percent and/or heart disease and stroke by more than 25 percent. So let’s make it clear: Saturated fat contributes to the buildup of heartand brain-threatening plaque in artery walls. It fuels inflammation throughout the body (boosting risk for heart disease; stroke; diabetes; dementia; breast, colon and prostate cancer; and more). And when your saturated fat comes from meat, you also take in carnitine, which feeds digestive-system bacteria that churn out an artery-clogging chemical called TMAO (trimethylamine-N-oxide). Lecithin in egg yolks has the same effect. Meat also delivers a kidney toxin called butyl betaine.

A better way to eat? We like (most of) the advice in the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee report that

recommends a diet rich in vegetables, fruit, whole grains, seafood, legumes and nuts; moderate in low-fat and nonfat (for folks 30-plus) dairy products and alcohol (among adults); lower in red and processed meat (we’d say none); and low in sugar-sweetened foods and beverages and refined grains (we’d say none here, too).

So aim for a max of 4 ounces of red meat or one egg yolk per week; you can have a lean steak or a scrambled egg once in a while, and you’ll keep levels of carnitine and lecithin below the danger point. Instead of butter, bacon and other sat-fat “bombs,” try foods like fish, olive oil, avocados and nuts.

Keep sat fat low by choosing nonfat or low-fat dairy products, too.

Bottom line: The big fat, sat-fat science deniers are bigger deniers than those who say there’s no truth to global warming, the drought in some areas of California, or the Cavs’ chance to make the playoffs!

Diagnostic workup could include blood tests to assess Vitamin B12 level and thyroid function, neurological exam to exclude Parkinson’s disease, tumours or other conditions that can affect memory and function, and imaging to exclude tumours, stroke etc.

How is MCI treated and managed?

There is no medication to treat MCI at this time. Management includes cognitive/functional assessment every 6-12 months to monitor progression, behavioural interventions, control of cardiovascular risk factors, and cognitive intervention. Behavioural interventions intended to promote physical activity, mental stimulation and social engagement are the most promising in terms of decreasing or delaying the progression to dementia. Of these, physical activity has shown to be the most beneficial in preventing dementia or reducing progression of MCI. Mediterranean diet or the new MIND diet based on whole grains, green leafy vegetables, other vege-

tables, oily fish, berries, beans, nuts, poultry, and olive oil, is very beneficial in delaying the progression of MCI to dementia. Reducing cardiovascular risk by maintaining blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and body weight in the healthy range have also been recommended. Cognitive interventions such as memory training and learning new information and skills to enhance one’s cognitive reserve have been recently added to the repertoire of interventions to slow down mental decline. If you are having any concerns about recent changes in your mental ability, it is a good idea to consult your physician. At the same time start exercising regularly, adopt a healthy diet, sign up for a new course/language class/ hobby, and maintain socially connected.
