‘Best show in ten years’ AGRI-TRADE

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF With the book closed on the 32nd Agri-Trade, organizers are exhibitors are happy with what they called the best show in a decade.

The annual exposition of farming technology, innovation and equipment took over the Westerner this past week bringing in exhibits and people from all across Canada and from around the world.

A buoyant agricultural industry, driven this year by a better than expected crop led to what Rob Saik, Agri-Trade chair, called the most upbeat mood at the annual event.

“Contrary to the rest of the economic news in Alberta, agriculture is vibrant,” said Saik. “The farmers here are quite optimistic, crops came in better than farmers had been thinking.”

Despite a severe drought in some areas in Alberta in June that led to some bad crops, Saik said by-andlarge the season turned out better than anticipated.

About 425 exhibitors packed into the Westerner over the event that started on Nov. 11 and ran until Saturday. Though attendance numbers are not fully known yet, Saik said they had more in the first three days of this year’s Agri-Trade then they did in the four days of last year’s event. He said they anticipate a 30 per cent increase in attendance this year.

“Exhibitors are telling us this is the best show in 10 years,” said Saik. “Many people have done more business on the first day than they have done in an entire show.”

Agri-Trade is an even-split partnership between the Westerner and the Red Deer and District Chamber of Commerce, and one of the largest events either organization puts on every year.

Candles and roses are passed out as Red Deerians begin a procession out of St. Luke’s Anglican Church Saturday night during MADD’s 23rd Annual Candlelight Vigil of Remembrance and Hope. More than 20 people attended the event, with candles lit for those who lost their lives to impaired drivers.

Vigil remembers victims of drunk drivers

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Despite a somber mood, a mutual support permeates around as the candles are lit to recognize the victims of drunk drivers.

Red Deer Mothers Against Drunk Driving held their 23rd annual candlelight vigil over the weekend.

Every year people are invited to light a candle in honour of a loved one who died because of impaired driving.

Peggy Gougeon, co-president of the local MADD chapter, said people react to the news of losing a loved one to impaired driving differently and sometimes it takes a few years for people to be ready to attend one of these events.

“Mary Williams (founder of the Red Deer MADD chapter) originally started it and they did it so people with similar situations could get together,” said Gougeon. “We have a little service for them and they can light a candle.

“We usually have the same people every year.”

According to the Alberta Transportation Ministry,

444 people were killed and 6,649 were injured in alcohol-related collisions from 2006 to 2013. In 2013 alone, 80 people were killed and 1,133 were injured.

In July, three Red Deer RCMP members were recognized for charging a high number of impaired drivers. In 2014, the detachment charged 249 people with impaired driving. As of July, 144 impaired driving charges were laid.

Gougeon said the continual problem of impaired driving in Red Deer is disheartening.

“I don’t know what the answer is,” said Gougeon.

“We just keep pushing for more awareness to the problem.

“We need to step up the public service announcements.”

With the Christmas season approaching, Gougeon said they will be out with the Red Deer RCMP for at least one checkstop. The police will be out throughout the holidays looking for impaired drivers.

So far this year, one person has died as a result of an alleged impaired driver. Kevin Lee Pearson, 44, of Springbrook died on May 20 near the intersection of 19th Street and 30th Avenue.

OTTAWA — Nicolas Chapuis, the French ambassador to Canada, was busy in his office Friday and had no idea of the carnage unfolding in Paris until he received a painfully short email note from his son, who is studying for his doctorate back home.

“I am safe,” was all it said.

The note, puzzling at first, struck like a MORE ON PARIS ATTACKS PAGE A6 thunderbolt when the seasoned diplomat turned to see what was happening. And like the most of the rest of the world, he watched in horror and disgust throughout Friday as at least 129 people were slaughtered in separate, co-ordinated attacks around the French capital.

“I didn’t know something had happened and so I went online,” Chapuis said Sunday as at least 100 people — many of them expat French citizens — braved the chilly November afternoon and laid flowers and candles at the foot of Ottawa’s monument to explorer Samuel de Champlain. The mourners wrapped themselves in the tri-colour flag and a young boy waved it defiantly on the hillside before the ambassador spoke.

“It was mid-afternoon in Ottawa and I saw the magnitude of what was developing. It took a few hours to get an idea of how grave how atrocious the attacks has been.”

Still visibly shaken at times, Chapuis vowed the horrific events would not affect his country’s policy towards the still ongoing Syrian refugee crisis, even though a Syrian passport was found among the remains of one of the suicide bombers that struck the soccer stadium.

The lead, which has yet to be verified, casts a shadow over efforts by both France — and now the Trudeau government — to give safe haven to some of the tens of thousands of refugees and migrants who’ve flooded across Europe since the spring.

“Let’s not be mistaken. France has always been a land of asylum, like Canada,” he said. “The people who are seeking refuge are not the barbarians. They are fleeing the barbarians.”

More than 200 cattle escape from farm RCMP, FARMERS PITCH IN TO ROUND UP COWS IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PICTURE BUTTE — Mounties and farmers pitched in to round up over 200 cattle that apparently broke through a fence and roamed loose near a southern Alberta town on Sunday.

Const. Marshall Bevin says it was still dark when he was called out to a property east of Picture Butte, and as he drove there, he could see one of the animals headed toward the high school.

Then he spotted more that were on the highway, appearing to head back toward the farm they came from.

The nearby Fort McLeod fire department, which deals with livestock emergencies, suggested he send out a news release to warn drivers.

One driver of a minivan north of the town hit an animal that was believed to be from the herd, but he wasn’t hurt.

All 210 the bovines were accounted for by early Sunday afternoon.

“There’s thousands and thousands of cattle around here and this is the most I’ve seen out. I’ve been here five years,” Bevin said after the cattle were corralled.

“I’ve seen five or ten. I’ve never seen 210 get out at one time. It must have been something to get them all going.”

The animal that was hit by the minivan died, but all the others appeared to be OK. Bevin said the owner of the cattle believed the animals got spooked by something and knocked over a 12-metre length of fence.

Bevin said there were cattle on the roads, on the sides of the roads and on neighbouring farms. He rounded up some of the farmers, who helped gather them up while he drove around to look for more of the loose animals.

He couldn’t stay long, because by that time he had to attend to the collision with the cow and the minivan.

When he returned, the owner of the cattle was beginning to get the upper hand.

“The farmer told us we had too many cars in the area and it was spooking the cows and they were

The last four were caught on a neighbour’s property at 1 p.m.

Late Sunday, RCMP confirmed that the animal that was killed was one of the 210 loose cattle, and that charges were pending against the owner under the Alberta Stray Animals Act.

FireSmart program in Rocky to mirror Nordegg’s program

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF A FireSmart program in the Rocky Mountain House area will mirror a similar one in the Nordegg area — aimed at reducing the effects and danger of wildfire.

And a FireSmart ecology trail in the Nordegg area is all but complete except for some signage.

Barry Shellian, wildfire information officer with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry in Rocky, said Friday that the planning stage of a FireSmart program to reduce the wildfire hazard in the area known as Greater Ferrier Acres is almost complete.

There are about 16 housing subdivisions in the

AGRI-TRADE: Driver “It’s an economic driver,” said Saik. “For many merchants in Red Deer Agri-Trade is the busiest week of the year, including hotels and restaurants.

“A lot of money gets spent through Agri-Trade week.”

Part of Agri-Trade’s continued success is when it takes place, in a shoulder season for many producers. It is after the end of the fall havest, with combining well completed and well before the start of the next seeding season. Several exhibitors were recognized for innovation during the trade show.

area, located west of Rocky Mountain House. There is also oil and gas activity, camping, cabins and numerous one-way, dead-end roads. Next spring it’s anticipated that a sample FireSmart area will be developed as it was near Nordegg.

This involves three areas together: one that is untouched; another where trees are thinned out and pruned; and a third where the trees are thinned and pruned and the cuttings and debris are hauled away.

The latter allows for more biodiversity, more green and lessens the wildfire hazard, Shellian said.

This helps landowners understand how wildfire hazard is reduced and how they can do work around their own properties.

The Rocky Forest Area had 128 wildfires this past season, of which 84 were caused by humans. Fortu-

nately the number of fires resulted only in about 200 ares of forest burned.

The FireSmart Ecology Trail, which runs from Fish Lake to Goldeye Lake near Nordegg, saw nine more kilometres of trail built or enhanced this summer, said Shellian.

The trail, for non-motorized use only, is designed to show the life cycle stages of a forest over many years.

The new section runs from Goldeye Provincial Recreation Area to the Centre for Outdoor Education, and includes 600 metres of new trail inside the recreation area.

The ecology trail will be completed when signage goes in next spring, said Shellian.

and helping those who are seeking our help. It is part of our humanity.”

The eloquent remarks could have the effect of stiffening the Trudeau government, which faces renewed concern and questions about the planned resettlement of 25,000 Syrian refugees before the end of the year — one of its signature campaign initiatives.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale did the television news show circuit on the weekend, attempting to reassure the public that the newly-elected government would take nothing for granted as it puts individuals through different layers of screening, both in refugee camps and after they arrive in Canada. The arrival of refugees in European countries happened in “chaotic and ad-hoc manner,” Goodale told CTV’s Question Period on Sunday and the Canadian plan will be much more orderly even with the tight timelines. The other, more awkward question for the new Liberal government is how the military dynamic — and their pledge to end Canadian involvement in the U.S.-led coalition bombing campaign — will change in light of the atrocities, not only in Paris, but also equally destructive attacks in Lebanon over the last few days.

More recently, Chasity Holman, 41, of Penhold was killed near the Penhold Multiplex on Nov. 5.

Other people in the area who have been killed as a result of impaired drivers include Jonathon David Wood, 33, of Red Deer was killed on Nov. 2, 2013 while riding in a taxi near 32nd Street and 30th Avenue; Colton Keeler, 19, and Tyson Vanderzwaag, 18, on March 31, 2012 on Hwy 11A west of Red Deer and Brad, 34, and Krista, 35, Howe on Feb. 7, 2010. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

REFUGEES: Cruelty The refugees are victims of the cruelty of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, who are only asking to live in freedom and peace, Chapuis said.

“Certainly there will be individuals who are going to try to take opportunity to mix with the refugees in order to spread chaos, but let there be no be mistake: This should not stop us from opening our arms

TIME TO GET RID OF OFFENSIVE INDIGENOUS MASCOTS IN SPORTS: TRC COMMISSIONER

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — The head of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission says it’s time to get rid of offensive indigenous mascots which would never be tolerated if they targeted any other cultural group.

Justice Murray Sinclair, who spearheaded an examination of Canada’s residential schools, says sports teams with offensive names such as Redskins and cartoonish aboriginal-looking mascots have no place in a country trying to come to grips with racism in its past.

“It’s only indigenous peoples’ symbols that are being utilized by sports teams. I don’t think there is any cultural group that is subject to that anymore,” Sinclair said in an interview.

“People need to re-examine their behaviour — all aspects of their behaviour — the way they are doing business.”

Some Canadian high school teams are taking steps to phase out their mascots while others say there is no need.

A Morden, Man., hockey team named the Redskins was criticized recently by a local city councillor, who wanted city council to call for a name change.

Morden Mayor Ken Wiebe, one of two who voted in favour of the motion, said he couldn’t talk about it because council ultimately decided not to get involved.

“This is not a sword I’m going to fall on,” he said.

The team’s general manager, Brent Meleck, who is aboriginal, said the name has “been around for a long time. We’re not doing anything wrong.”

Sinclair said a name like that has a profound impact on young indigenous people.

“I can’t imagine how comfortable they would feel knowing the major team in their town is called that,” said Sinclair, who pointed to the Washington National Football League team with the same name. “They’ve been told by a number of legal entities to stop doing it, but they’re still fighting for it.”

The Washington blowup initially raised some questions about whether the Canadian Football League Edmonton Eskimos should change their name, but a team spokesman quickly squelched the idea.

“We have no backlash from our fans or politicians or any other sort,” team spokesman Allan Watt said in June 2014.

An Inuk lawyer who played with the team briefly in the 1950s backed Watt up.

“I don’t know what the problem is with having us called the Edmonton Eskimos,” said Kiviaq, formerly known as David Ward. “It wasn’t meant to be derogatory at all. We … should be proud of it.”

However, several Canadian junior and high school teams did opt to change their names last year following public concern.

The Nepean Redskins youth football team in Ottawa changed its name to the Nepean Eagles after a human rights complaint.

The Western Canada High School in Calgary dropped its Redmen name and logo after consulting with school board elders. It cost the board $200,000 to repaint the gym and order new uniforms.

The Morden Redskins team was criticized recently by a local city councillor, who wanted city council to call for a name change.

Two Saskatchewan school teams also called Redmen changed their names as well. Regina’s Balfour Collegiate team is now called the Bears and Bedford Road Collegiate in Saskatoon switched to Redhawks.

In the United States, Adidas has announced it will help high schools who want to change their mascot by offering free design resources and financial support.

It’s estimated there are about 2,000 schools in the States with outdated indigenous mascots or symbols.

The move was praised by Oneida group Change The Mascot, which has led the protest against the Washington

Redskins.

Ending “the use of the R-word is not going away, but is instead gaining momentum as people understand the damaging impacts of this racial slur,” the group said in a statement.

A spokesperson for Adidas Canada said the company can’t comment on plans to extend the program north of the border.

The initiative would take away any financial argument for those resisting a name change, Sinclair said.

“It boils it back down to the real issue — (whether) they want to cling to that more pejorative expression or not.”

Canada’s spy agency crafted PR strategy to boost morale, explain role

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CSIS

TORONTO — A firestorm of criticism that followed a rare television interview with the head of Canada’s intelligence service was the unintended consequence of an otherwise carefully crafted strategy aimed at burnishing the agency’s image, internal documents show.

It was during that appearance on the CBC in 2010 that Richard Fadden, then-director of the Canadian Intelligence Security Service, suggested certain politicians had become too close to the Chinese government, an assertion he was forced to backtrack on.

The public relations offensive that preceded that interview — and an earlier major speech Fadden gave — came at a time CSIS was feeling hard done by because of reporting on the case of suspected terrorist Abousfian Abdelrazik, a Canadian the federal government had left stranded for six years in Sudan.

As a result, the agency decided it needed to win both public sympathy and understanding for its shadowy role in protecting national security, according to documents disclosed as part of a civil suit Abdelrazik has filed against Ottawa.

“The accuracy and context of media reporting on this and related issues may improve,” one document states.

“CSIS employees, who often feel they are not being defended, would respond extremely positively, and morale would be improve (sic).”

While Canadian courts had found the federal government complicit in Abdelrazik’s predicament, CSIS was keen to refute reports that it had asked Sudanese authorities to detain Abdelrazik — it hadn’t — as well as his contention that service agents had threatened him. CSIS also wanted to get across that its agents have to interact with Canadians to their job.

“This is not harassment, as is often reported,” the writer states. “It is part of our legal mandate and our duty.”

The spy service, which did not respond to a request for comment, kicked about several ideas, such as offering an interview with an “agenda-setting” media outlet or even having The Canadian Press national news agency organize an editorial-board with various journalists.

The aim, according to the documents, would be to foster a more informed and “reasonable” public debate on security issues and the law.

The agency employee who devised the plan — his name is redacted — said going public could have advantages in getting a positive message out, but also fretted that a “counter-narra-

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS FORT MCMURRAY, — The airport in Fort McMurray , has resumed normal operations after being evacuated Friday night because of a suspicious package.

RCMP say they were alerted to the package on Friday afternoon. As a precaution the area was secured and the Explosive Device Unit from RCMP headquarters in Edmonton was called in.

Wood Buffalo RCMP issued statement early Saturday morning that said the package had been “identified, isolated and secured,” and was no longer a threat.

The Fort McMurray Airport Authority said approximately 265 passengers on five flights were impacted by cancellations or delays resulting from the evacuation.

As inbound flights arrived, the planes were diverted to the airport’s old terminal on the north side and passengers were moved to the Chateau Nova Hotel. Air travellers were being advised this morning to contact their airline regarding potential flight delays or rebookings.

tive” could backfire and create more skepticism or mistrust.

“CSIS could effectively be interjecting itself into a case that has been poorly communicated for many years, becoming the lightning rod for accumulated anger and outrage for (Foreign Affairs) and ministers,” the writer states.

“CSIS could be accused of doing the government’s ‘dirty work’ or of having its intelligence politicized in an unhealthy manner.”

Overall, the analysis concluded that government ministers rather than the agency should speak to the Abdelrazik case given the “highly political dimension of consular policy and the overall stance towards Canadians who are in difficulty abroad” but Fadden delivered his speech and went on national television.

Intelligence expert Wesley Wark said the strategy, while perhaps premised on a good idea, was poorly executed and backfired badly in light of Fadden’s comments on the foreign influence on politicians about which he was forced to backtrack.

“It did force CSIS very much back into its shell, where it has essentially remained from those events to the present,” said Wark, a visiting professor at the University of Ottawa.

“One of the impacts it had was to strengthen the culture of secrecy and a culture of us versus them within CSIS.”

When the Vietnamese boat people landed on our shores in the 1980s, it was a similar fight for survival and most of them not only had an extremely positive impact on our economy and country, they became some of Canada’s biggest advocates.

What this comes down to is a global social responsibility.

We are a country of great wealth and resources. Yes, we are in a recession right now and times are tough for many families. But that still does not change anything. If the resources are there to help someone who desperately needs it, the only question should be “what’s the best way to do this?”

It’s called being human.

As a nation we pride ourselves on being peaceful, as being inclusive and welcoming. We are known throughout the world for our friendliness and over-politeness.

To turn our back on people in a life or death situation would be to turn our back on everything that has made this country great.

There is no doubt there are a lot of people in this community that are hurting financially due to the free fall of the price of oil and the economy.

Jobs are scarce and the numbers relying on government assistance has risen.

But it is important to know that resources are not being diverted from those who need it in Red Deer.

Many people voiced their concern over the homeless in Red Deer, but funds are not being taken away from them, in fact Red Deer’s homeless reduction plan has not changed at all.

It also brings to question, how many of those yelling and screaming now joined in the choruses about those in the “Not in my backyard” mind set whenever a movement is a foot to build affordable housing or even a warming centre where the homeless can escape from the cold, or cross the street when they see a pan handler.

What gives me hope is that eventually the numbers of those online in support of refugees coming to Red Deer eventually shouted down many of the fear mongerers and intolerant.

It lets me believe that we will in fact be a welcoming community for those that are just looking to wake up from a nightmare. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

A letter to our new prime minister Hi Justin. First of all I would like to congratulate you on the election results. As you know, you now have a responsibility to treat all Canadians equally and as you are a self-professed feminist pushing for equal rights between men and women you will also be expected to treat all provinces and areas of Canada as well as all Canadian Citizens equally. The following items are seen as areas that will need to be addressed in order to achieve that equality: 1) Door to door postal service. You are going to keep door to door postal delivery for the privileged few, but the fact is we all pay taxes and the costs of door to door delivery are huge. Therefore, it is imperative that if you are keeping door to door delivery for some, that legislation is passed to mandate door to door delivery for every household in Canada to ensure that you are treating everyone the same. Will the current government pass legislation to ensure the door to door delivery of the mail to every residence in Canada to ensure that every Canadian is given equal treatment?

2) Bail out of Bombardier. In addition to the bailouts of the auto industry (previous and current), it has been reported that the Liberal government plans to spend millions if not billions of tax payers money on the bailout of Bombardier a publicly traded corporation. If you are planning on spending our tax dollars on Bombardier then it will be expected that you spend an equal amount of dollars on Western Canadian corporations. Will you be bailing out Western Canadian public corporations as well?

3) It has just been announced that Catherine McKenna, the federal environment and climate change minister has given approval to dump eight billion gallons of raw sewage into the St. Lawrence River. This is the same St. Lawrence river that Trans Canada Pipeline had proposed to build an export terminal for exporting of Western Canadian oil

overseas in order to compete on the world stage and it met with so much opposition from politicians (Liberals, NDP, etc.) and environmentalists that they abandoned the proposal. Really? One of the first things the Trudeau Liberal Government does is give the OK to pumping eight billion gallons of raw toxic sewage into a river that supposedly cannot have an oil export terminal because of the very low possibility of upsetting the beluga whale? Where is the impact study that has been done on toxic dumping to assess the damage that will be done to the river the whales and the environment?

4) While there has been a vast amount of political opposition to the development and exporting of the Western Canadian oil, including opposition from the Liberal opposition (now the government), the Vale Smelter Plant in Sudbury has apparently been leaking toxic lethal acid into the air for some 52 years. Where is the Liberal Party and environmental out cry on this? Is the emission of carbon (a substance that we all emit, trees convert to make oxygen for us to breath) a higher priority to control than lethal acid that can poison not only the residents close to the plant but around the world?

5) It has been reported that you will not live in 22 Sussex Drive because it is not worthy of living in for your family and yourself. This is the same place that has been lived in by prior Prime Ministers for many years and I would agree that houses require some up keep over time. However apparently the upgrades are to cost the tax payers from $10 million to upwards of $150 million. Is this part of the infrastructure spending that you were promising in the election? Are ordinary taxpayers going to see some of this “infrastructure money” or only the privileged few?

6) As a member of parliament, you receive thousands of dollars in tax free money including the tax free housing mentioned above. If a CEO or employee of a corporation lived in a corporate house, the corporation spent millions of dollars

Mosque burned in Peterborough BUILDING WAS DELIBERATELY SET ON FIRE, POLICE SAY

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Just a half hour before their mosque was set ablaze on Saturday, members of the Kawartha Muslim Religious Association were in the building celebrating the birth of a baby, said the president of the association, Kenzu Abdella.

Shortly after the party left, a neighbour noticed smoke and called 911.

The fire was set deliberately around 11 p.m., police confirmed Sunday. Abdella said the group left at 10:30 p.m.

Police say they don’t know the motive, and they don’t have a suspect. They couldn’t say whether the fire was connected to the attacks in Paris that the Islamic State is taking credit for.

However a Muslim group is calling for police to treat the fire as a potential hate crime.

“We call on authorities to investigate this arson as a hate crime so a clear message is sent that these acts have no place in our communities,” Ihsaan Gardee, executive director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, said in a statement late Sunday.

“This attack is very disturbing. The mosque is regularly attended by families with young children.

We are relieved no one was injured as this incident could have been much worse,” said Gardee said, who stopped short of drawing any link to the Paris terrorism.

“It’s hard to make that causal connection right now,” he said in a phone interview. “It’s something that we’re monitoring and we will let the investigators do their jobs.”

The Peterborough fire department has pegged damages to the mosque at $80,000, though the building’s exterior is relatively unscathed.

Abdella said the inside of the building is charred black with smoke damage.

“It’s not what we expected,” he said. “We thought it was minor.”

For now, the building is unusable, and he isn’t sure where they’ll go for their five-times-daily prayers while it’s being repaired.

He said he was shocked when he first heard about the fire, and that it was being treated as suspicious.

“The Muslim community has a very good relationship with the Peterborough community,” he said.

“We had an open house just last year, and the mayor was here.”

Now Abdella knows the fire was deliberate, he believes it to be a hate crime.

Usama Zahid removes the Quran and other books from shelves, on Sunday as congregation members clean up debris after the only mosque in Peterborough, Ont., was deliberately set on fire last night.

“I’m devastated,” he said. “Children pray here.”

But he said the Peterborough community has been supportive in the hours since the fire, and for that, he’s immensely grateful.

Peterborough MP and federal Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef wrote in a statement, “My thoughts are with the families who visit the mosque for prayer every week.”

She added, “I wish to take this moment to remind us all that Peterborough-Kawartha is a warm and generous community … I know that the residents of Peterborough-Kawartha will be as upset as I am

about this incident, and together we will continue to demonstrate that these sorts of incidents are in no way reflective of our community as a whole.”

Peterborough Mayor Daryl Bennett also issued a statement condemning the fire.

“Attacking a place of worship is a despicable act,” the statement said. “Masjid Al-Salaam, the name of the mosque, means mosque of peace.”

An online fundraising campaign was started Sunday to raise money for the mosque. It had raised more than $22,000 dollars by Sunday evening.

Trudeau pushes youth, growth, diversity at G20

´

ANTALYA, Turkey — Justin Trudeau used his international debut Sunday to tell a top tier G20 business audience that long-term investments in infrastructure and youth are the keys to growth, not a preoccupation with short-term profits.

And as the prime minister reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to accept 25,000 Syrian asylum seekers, he delivered a pointed message that Canada is a country that defines itself by its shared values, not its cultural differences, and he urged others to do the same.

But even before he opened his mouth, Trudeau received a welcome on the floor of the G20’s business and labour pane l d i s c u s - TERRORISM A FOCUS FOR sion that G20 PAGE B11 lived up to the cliched rock-starwelcome descriptor.

He was mobbed for selfies by dozens of smiling delegates at the meeting shortly after his arrival. Trudeau willingly posed for several minutes, allowing many selfies and group photos at the foot of a stage, prior to giving a speech and taking part in a panel discussion before an amphitheatre of more than 100 invitees.

Not everyone wanted a photo, but many others approached Trudeau as he held court, receiving warm greetings from a variety of people, including Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund.

Canadian Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, was among those in attendance, along with Perrin Beatty, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and Angel Gurria, the secretary general of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Trudeau covered ground that would have been familiar to Canadians following the federal election, including his infrastructure spending plans to stimulate growth.

But he also explained why he appointed himself as the cabinet minister for EGGS BENEDICT Canadian youth — a first for a prime minister, he Two eggs on a grilled English Muffin with said — while sending a your choice of one of the following: ham, message that global audibacon, sausage or tomato; topped with hollandaise sauce plus your choices ences have not heard from of hashbrowns, pancakes a Canadian prime minisor fruit cup. ter in about a decade.

tions.”

Climate change, along with the fight against terrorism and the refugee crisis, are on an expanded G20 agenda at this two-day leaders’ summit in Antalya, Turkey.

Trudeau, however, also moved quickly to align Canada, as expected, with a core G20 theme: stimulating economic growth through spending on infrastructure.

“Canadians sent me a strong message over the course of our election campaign. They felt that it was important we be investing in our communities, we be investing in infrastructure,” he said, adding that kind of “inclusive growth” was good not only for Canada, but the world.

Trudeau urged governments, community, business and labour leaders “to focus on the meaningful long-term solutions, to empowering individuals and creating prosperity.”

“It is tempting to look at quarterly returns and short term outcomes and think that if everyone just takes care of the short-term the long-term will take care of itself. That is increasingly not true,” he said.

Trudeau fielded two questions from the audience, on topics that touched on soaring youth unemployment and refugees.

He noted that since he started his career as a school teacher he has recognized the wider benefits of helping young people become more successful, “which is why for the first time the prime minister of Canada is also the minister for youth of Canada.”

“This isn’t a sentimental choice,” Trudeau added. “This is something that recognizes the fact that the success of our young people will determine the success of not just of our economies, but indeed of our planet.”

Trudeau said he intended to retain Canada’s youth ministry because it overlaps with business, health, employment and international relations.

When asked about refugees, the prime minister offered some observations on what he feels are the benefits of Canada’s cultural mosaic.

’Hell:’ Survivors tell how famous Paris music venue became scene of bloodbath PARIS — There was a moment — just a moment — when the concert hall was eerily quiet. The rock band had stopped playing, and people had dived to the floor after realizing the sudden explosions hadn’t been part of the show. Everything was silent.

Then the attackers started again, strafing the crowd with automatic gunfire.

There were screams of terror, the staccato of Kalashnikovs and cries of the wounded, followed by a standoff with police and the explosions of suicide bombs.

By the time the ordeal was over at one of Paris’ celebrated entertainment venues, 89 people were dead and many more were wounded, entangled bodies in pools of blood. A French survivor summed it up with one word: “Hell.”

It was a sell-out crowd at the Bataclan on Friday for the 9 p.m. concert by an American group, the Eagles of Death Metal. Less than an hour after the band began its set, a series of bangs rang out. Many thought it was firecrackers or pyrotechnics.

“Everyone thought it was part of the show, but then I saw the lead singer’s face drop before he ran off stage, and the lights came on,” university student Hanna Corbett, 21, told the Nottingham Post newspaper of Britain. “We all just dropped to the floor. When the music stopped, there was this haunting silence in between gunfire and I could see blood on the floor.”

The Bataclan already had a storied history, opening its doors on Paris’ Right Bank in 1865. French crooner Maurice Chevalier of “Gigi” fame enjoyed some of his earliest successes there, before it was converted into a movie theatre, devastated by fire and resurrected as a concert hall again in the mid-1980s.

Friday’s headliner was a California band whose music is far less harsh than its name, described by a co-founder as a mix of bluegrass slide guitar, stripper drum beats and Canned Heat-style vocals.

As the Eagles of Death Metal performed, at about 9:40 p.m., a black Volkswagen Polo drew up and parked outside the Bataclan, French officials said.

Three occupants emerged from the vehicle, armed with automatic weapons and wearing belts packed with extremely volatile explosives. They entered the club apparently unnoticed amid the high-decibel music, and opened fire at the crowd.

Julien Pearce, a journalist at Europe 1 radio, also thought the pop-pop noises were a harmless part of the act.

“Then I looked back and saw the assailants … who were coming toward us with assault rifles and were randomly firing into the crowd,” he said on Europe 1. “We immediately got on the ground to protect ourselves, to be less exposed.”

The Bataclan had become one of the targets of the deadliest violence to hit the French capital since World War II. That same evening outside the France-Germany soccer match in Paris’ northern suburbs, a pair of suicide bombers had already detonated their explosives, and another would blow himself up on Boulevard Voltaire, a thoroughfare in eastern Paris near the Bataclan.

The co-ordinated attack included volleys of Kalashnikov fire at Parisians and others who thronged bars and restaurants on an unseasonably balmy November night. In all, at least 129 people were killed and 350 injured. France’s leaders have said their country is now at war.

In claiming responsibility for the attacks, the Islamic State group said the Bataclan had expressly been targeted for its “hundreds of pagans gathered for a concert of prostitution and vice.”

People gather outside for a national service for the victims of the terror attack at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, Sunday.

Thousands of French troops deployed around Paris on Sunday and tourist sites stood shuttered in one of the most visited cities on Earth while investigators questioned the relatives of a suspected suicide bomber involved in the country’s deadliest violence since World War II.

French air strikes bomb IS in Syria as police hunt for attacker they let go fugitive Salah Abdeslam, who blew himself up on the Boulevard Voltaire.

Police detained Mostefai’s father, a brother and other relatives Saturday night, and they were still being questioned Sunday, the judicial official said.

These details stoked fears of homegrown terrorism in France, which has exported more jihadis than any other in Europe, and seen many return from the fight. All three gunmen in the January attacks on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a kosher supermarket in Paris were French.

The attackers inside the Bataclan seemed quite young, according to one survivor, Julien Pearce, a journalist at Europe 1 radio who escaped by crawling onto the stage, and then out an exit door when the shooters paused to reload. Before making his final dash, he got a good look at one of the assailants, he said.

“He seemed very young. That’s what struck me, his childish face, very determined, cold, calm, frightening,” Pearce said.

Struggling to keep his country calm and united after an exceptionally violent year, President Francois Hollande met Sunday with opposition leaders — conservative rival and former President Nicolas Sarkozy as well as increasingly popular far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who has used the attacks on Paris to advance her anti-immigrant agenda. Refugees fleeing war by the tens of thousands fear the Paris attacks could prompt Europe to close its doors, especially after police said a Syrian passport found next to one attacker’s body suggested its owner passed through Greece into the European Union and on through Macedonia and Serbia last month.

PARIS — France launched “massive” air strikes on the Islamic State group’s de-facto capital in Syria Sunday night, destroying a jihadi training camp and a munitions dump in the city of Raqqa, where Iraqi intelligence officials say the attacks on Paris were planned.

Twelve aircraft including 10 fighter jets dropped a total of 20 bombs in the biggest air strikes since France extended its bombing campaign against the extremist group to Syria in September, a Defence Ministry statement said. The jets launched from sites in Jordan and the Persian Gulf, in co-ordination with U.S. forces.

Meanwhile, as police announced seven arrests and hunted for more members of the sleeper cell that carried out the Paris attacks that killed 129 people, French officials revealed to The Associated Press that several key suspects had been stopped and released by police after the attack.

The arrest warrant for Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old born in Brussels, calls him very dangerous and warns people not to intervene if they see him.

Yet police already had him in their grasp early Saturday, when they stopped a car carrying three men near the Belgian border. By then, hours had passed since authorities identified Abdeslam as the renter of a Volkswagen Polo that carried hostage takers to the Paris theatre where so many died.

Three French police officials and a top French security official confirmed that officers let Abdeslam go after checking his ID. They spoke on condition of anonymity, lacking authorization to publicly disclose such details.

Tantalizing clues about the extent of the plot have emerged from Baghdad, where senior Iraqi officials told the AP that France and other countries had been warned on Thursday of an imminent attack.

An Iraqi intelligence dispatch warned that Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had ordered his followers to immediately launch gun and bomb attacks and take hostages inside the countries of the coalition fighting them in Iraq and Syria.

The Iraqi dispatch, which was obtained by the AP, provided no details on when or where the attack would take place, and a senior French security official told the AP that French intelligence gets these kinds of warnings “all the time” and “every day.”

However, Iraqi intelligence officials told the AP that they also warned France about specific details: Among them, that the attackers were trained for this operation and sent back to France from Raqqa, the Islamic State’s de-facto capital.

The officials also said that a sleeper cell in France then met with the at-

tackers after their training and helped them to execute the plan. There were 24 people involved in the operation, they said: 19 attackers and five others in charge of logistics and planning.

None of these details have been corroborated by officials of France or other Western intelligence agencies.

All these French and Iraqi security and intelligence officials spoke with the AP on condition of anonymity, citing the ongoing investigation.

Abdeslam is one of three brothers believed to be involved One who crossed with him into Belgium was later arrested, and another blew himself up inside the Bataclan theatre after taking the audience hostage and firing on them repeatedly. It was the worst of Friday’s synchronized attacks, leaving 89 fatalities and hundreds of people wounded inside.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility. Its statement mocked France’s air attacks on suspected IS targets in Syria and Iraq, and called Paris “the capital of prostitution and obscenity.”

In all, three teams of attackers including seven suicide bombers attacked the national stadium, the concert hall and nearby nightspots. The attacks wounded 350 people, 99 of them seriously.

Abdeslam rented the black Volkswagen Polo used by the hostage-takers, another French security official said. A Brussels parking ticket found inside led police to at least one of the arrests in Belgium, a French police official said. Three Kalashnikovs were found inside another car known to have been used in the attacks that was found in Montreuil, an eastern Parisian suburb, another a French police official said. As many as three of the seven suicide bombers were French citizens, as was at least one of the men arrested in the Molenbeek neighbourhood of Brussells, which authorities consider to be a focal point for extremists and fighters going to Syria from Belgium. Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon, speaking to The Associated Press by phone, said suspects arrested in Molenbeek had been stopped previously in Cambrai, France, “in a regular roadside check” but that police had had no suspicion about them at the time and they were let go quickly.

One, identified by the print on a recovered finger, was 29-year-old Frenchman Ismael Mostefai, who had a record of petty crime and had been flagged in 2010 for ties to Islamic radicalism, the Paris prosecutor said. A judicial official and lawmaker JeanPierre Gorges confirmed his identity.

A judicial official said police have also identified two other of the suicide bombers, both French nationals who’d been living in Belgium: 20-year-old Bilal Hadfi, who detonated himself outside the Stade de France and 31-yearold Brahim Abdeslam, the brother of

Westerner Park was packed with combines, tractors, haulers and grain bins last week as the 32nd Agri-Trade Equipment Expo 2015 rolled into Red Deer.

Dubbed “Western Canada’s preeminent agricultural equipment exposition”, the annual November event saw nearly every corner of the Westerner filled by about 425 exhibitors from across the country, showing off the latest and best in farming and forestry innovation and technology.

Kids — both young and old — had a blast crawling into the driver’s seats of numerous tractors and farming machinery. Farmers and others in the agricultural industry had a chance to talk to field experts on everything from grain plans to seeding to various products to help with maintaining crops and looking after animals.

The event, which kicked off Wednesday, wrapped up Saturday afternoon with farmers, ranchers and other Central Albertans prepared for the seasons ahead.

Equipment and displays will be taken down and removed early this week, and ice will be put back on the Enmax Centrium floor for the Red Deer Rebels return to home ice Friday night.

Westerner Park will also play host to the Red Deer Christmas Show, the Carswell Collectibles Antique Show and Sale, and Red Deer Snowfest next weekend. For information and times on these events, visit westernerpark.ca.

Clean revolution: a silver lining

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says the world has yet to “turn the corner” on addressing climate change but there is room for optimism.

That’s because — notwithstanding the gloom over the scale of the global issue, or the naysayers who claim a decarbonized economy means going back to the stone age — there’s been a quiet “revolution in renewable energy.”

“It didn’t happen by accident, there was a lot of money spent by some countries,” Simon Upton, the OECD’s environmental director, said Friday at a news conference in Paris.

“But we really can see what a de-carbonized power generation sector would look like.”

In advance of the COP21 climate conference in Paris that begins Nov. 30, the OECD held a media briefing on the state of play in conjunction with the International Energy Agency, the Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Transport Forum.

Some 162 countries have pledged to cut emissions as part of the Paris conference process. However climate scientists say the pledges won’t get the international community anywhere near the greenhouse gas reductions required to keep the planet within the 2 C degrees of warming required to avert global climate disruptions.

“You’d have to say that, globally speaking, we have barely started,” said the OECD spokesman.

Upton, however, argues the fact there’s now a known path to renewable power generation, with falling costs and increasing output, raises the likelihood of getting the job done.

“The technical changes, the fall in costs, has now

made the future a much more hopeful one,” he said.

“But it will not happen spontaneously. The playing field is still massively weighted in favour of the sunken investment in technologies which use fossil fuels.”

The French hosts of COP21 have added a “climate solutions” component to this year’s conference which will catalogue and highlight the practical technologies being developed to address cutting carbon pollution.

The emphasis dovetails with campaign promises of Canada’s new Liberal government, which has promised to support clean technology development through everything from direct investment and green bonds to export assistance and tax changes.

The Liberals are also promising to phase out federal fossil fuel subsidies, which a Washington-based NGO pegged last week at more than $2 billion annually.

Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said Sunday she takes heart knowing the Paris conference will proceed, despite Friday’s devastating terrorist attacks.

“I was just in Paris maybe three or four days ago and it’s really shocking,” she said. “They will still be welcoming the world and I think that sends a message that we need to be strong that we can’t back down and this is a very important conference, and we need a success there.”

Mandate letters for the new Liberal finance minister and natural resources minister released Friday show they are to work “to make Canada the world’s most competitive tax jurisdiction for investments in research, development and manufacturing of clean technology.”

It’s an emphasis that is many years overdue, says Celine Bak, a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation and the self-de-

scribed, private-sector “StatsCan for clean tech.”

Bak is currently beating the bushes for contributions from Canada’s 800-plus industry players for her fifth annual Canadian Clean Technology Industry Report. The 2015 report from her company Analytica Advisors ran to 369 pages and is required reading for a number of Liberal ministers or their senior mandarins charged with addressing climate change and invigorating Canada’s clean technology sector.

Her data shows that Canada’s clean tech export sector directly employs 50,000 Canadians and is comparable in export value to things such as livestock, processed foods, mining and finished wood products.

Yet in an aggressive global clean tech market, Canada has been losing global market share even as the sector grows. Bak says her research shows it’s a myth that Canadian clean tech companies want to integrate into global supply chains, a notion that comes from academics who transposed the model for the much older auto sector, for example, onto the emerging clean technology field. Instead, these young companies are producing full system components they are ready and eager to sell directly at home and abroad. Financing is their number one priority.

Back in Paris, the OECD’s environmental director says government support and policy action will unleash market forces that will help tackle the global carbon challenge. Talk to any business sector, said Upton, “and they will say the most important thing is a clear directional signal from governments to the private sector and to communities.”

“No one is going to invest if there is uncertainty — either that governments won’t do anything or, having done it, they’ll then change their minds. Better to take a steady and incremental approach which keeps moving in the same direction, reliably and predictably.”

Cutting office snacks doesn’t come cheap REBECCA GREENFIELD SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE To boost its bottom line, Sprint decided last week to end the era of free office snacks away from its employees. The move represents a tiny fraction of the struggling telecom’s effort to cut$2.5 billion from its total operating expenses. Axing the free food will shave $600,000 from the budget. But at what cost?

“They would never have given the snacks to begin with if they didn’t think it was helping boost productivity somehow,” said Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at Glassdoor, the job- review website.

Organizations eager to save money tend to get creative, and gratis office treats can seem like just the kind of frivolous expense a company entering a phase of austerity should reconsider. To curb expenses, for instance, Kraft earlier this summer yanked its free cheese sticks and Jell-O cups. But the economic case for offering free snacks outweighs the relatively puny savings-and once a workplace gets hooked on snack, it can’t really go back.

Only 22 percent of offices provide free snacks and beverages, according to the Society for Human Resource Management’s 2015 Employee Benefits Survey. In the majority of the working world, employees have to fend for themselves.

From the most cynical point of view, however, this isn’t just corporate largesse. Snacks keep workers in the office working instead of out foraging during working hours.

A 2011 study from Staples found that half of all workers left the office to get snacks at least once a day, with some people making as many as five trips to get their munchie fix. Snack runs account for 2.4 hours in productivity losses, according to the study.

It should be noted, of course, that Staples and your boss have a shared interest in keeping more people in the office. “[If] people had food there, they are likely to stay longer-you have higher productivity,” said Ken Oehler of Aon Hewitt, an HR consulting firm that, among other things, specializes in employee engagement policies.

The cost of shedding free snacks goes beyond lost productivity. An office that once had snacks puts itself at risk by eliminating the perk. “These small perks, they may be small in dollar amount, but they can be highly symbolic,” said Chamberlain. “They have this image as a gift, pulling it away can have a psychological effect that far outstrips the dollar amount.”

Snacks, like many perks, exist to boost “employee engagement,” HR jargon for an employee’s emotional investment in their job.

Many studies have linked high engagement with bottom- line success, finding that employees work best when they care about their job and their em-

A 2012 Towers Watson study found work environments that promote the physical, emotional, and social well-being of employees at the highest level had much higher one-year operating margins than those without engagement policies of any kind.

Employees accustomed to the perk can feel burned if it’s taken away. At one Aon Hewitt client, for example, taking away free lunch “greatly demotivated the staff,” according to Oehler. At another company, Aon Hewitt found that completely taking away free food would have caused a such big deterioration in engagement that the cost savings couldn’t be justified.

“Even though it might not be a lot of money,” Oe-

hler said, “the question is are you getting the ROI [return on investment] on snacks.”

Cutting something so visible can send a loud, shrill signal to employees. “ There’s an old saying where they say the goal is to pluck the feathers from the bird with the least amount of squawking,” said Chamberlain.

The less visible the cuts, the better-even if it means taking money out employee pockets.

“Changes to contributions to employee retirement plans,” he suggested as a less disruptive cut than emptying the snack larder. “These are highly obscure from a worker standpoint.” You know what’s not obscure? The daily hunger pangs that remind snackless employees of what they once had.

Strategies to help save for education Higher education is a costly pursuit in Canada that likely will get more expensive in the future.

The total cost for an undergraduate university degree currently can exceed $80,000 and is expected to be more than $140,000 by the time a child born now is old enough to enrol.

According to the Canadian Federation of Students, students who require a Canada Student loans to go to college or university graduate with an average debt of more than $28,000.

Those with student debt generally have a lower net worth, fewer assets and are less likely to have savings or investments compared to their peers who graduate debt free.

Parents and students alike can put into place TALBOT strategies that will help BOGGS them save for and pay the high cost of post-secondary MONEYWISE school education.

“Given the cost of getting a post-secondary education today it’s really important to have a discussion with your children, set your goals and priorities and put a financial plan in place,” says Andrea Andersen, a financial adviser with Edward Jones.

“There are a lot more costs involved than just enrolment fees and there are plenty of programs available to help people forecast the total costs, put down

a plan and start a monthly savings plan.”

A recent study by BMO Global Asset Management has found that wealthy Canadian parents pay for the majority (69 per cent) of their children’s education but the children themselves pay on average 12 per cent of the costs with their own savings.

“This makes it all the more important to teach children about personal finance issues including saving and investing at an early age,” says Myra Cridland, head of BMO Private Banking. “ Regardless of one’s income level financial literacy is critical to setting up our kids for future success.”

Parents increasingly are turning to Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) to put away money to fund their children’s education.

Parents, guardians, grandparents, other relatives or friends can set up an RESP through a financial institution such as a bank or credit union, a certified financial planner or through a group plan dealer.

A total of up to $50,000 can be contributed into a plan for each child named who is enrolled in qualified educational programs.

There is no annual contribution limit and the government will add a grant of up to a maximum of $7,200.

Income and capital gains can be generated within an RESP through investment in a variety of options such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, guaranteed investment certificates and grow tax free until the children named in the plan are ready to pay for their post-secondary education.

They only pay income tax on the gains earned by the plan and the grants as they are withdrawn, which

usually is low because the income of most post-secondary students is very limited.

Another popular option is an in-trust account. An adult – presumably a parent or grandparent — can deposit funds into an investment account for a minor child and hold it “in trust” until the child reaches the age of majority.

If investments such as equity mutual funds produce capital gains, they will be taxed in the child’s hands. With their basic personal tax credit, the child may pay little or no tax.

However, if income such as interest or dividend income is earned it is attributed to the adult and included in their income.

An in-trust account is simpler and less expensive than a formal trust account and only requires one financial account and little-to-no administration.

Anderson believes parents have a responsibility to teach their children the fundamentals of prudent financial management such as the proper use of credit cards, keeping spending in check, tracking loans, and creating a plan, which they can use to manage their financial affairs throughout their lives.

“The best place to teach children about these kinds of things is while they are under your roof,” says Andersen.

“Not only will they be helpful while they are in school but during the rest of their lives as well.”

Dueling designations FANDUEL AND DRAFTKINGS EMBRACE ‘GAMBLING’ DESIGNATION IN UK AS THEY FIGHT LABEL IN US

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Devlin D’Zmura, a tending news manager at DraftKings, a daily fantasy sports company, works on his laptop at the company’s offices in Boston.

“It’s hypocrisy.”

Haas said DraftKings plans to offer its familiar range of NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball and NHL contests in the U.K. but with a special emphasis on professional soccer, including the English Premier League, North America’s Major League Soccer and Europe’s Champions League.

DraftKings and FanDuel say they support developing U.S. regulations for their industry, which grew out of traditional, season-long fantasy sports games played by millions of Americans. They just don’t want regulations as restrictive as those imposed on casino gambling.

Analysts see stock, oil price declines due to Paris attacks BUT MARKETS SHOULD RECOVER

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The value of stocks, crude oil and the European currency is likely to fall this week as investors worry about what the Paris terror attacks will do to consumer confidence and key parts of the global economy.

The public nature of the targets — cafes, a stadium and a concert hall — could make travellers hesitant about visiting Paris or other major cities.

A drop in tourism in Europe could weaken the euro, while oil prices could fall below $40 per barrel once again on fears that demand will drop.

The attacks also could hurt the stocks of major airlines in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

Friday night’s suicide-bombing attacks, which left at least 129 people dead and more than 350 injured, come as investors are already nervous about slowing economic growth in China and the future of the eurozone.

Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis for the Oil Price Information Service, said the attacks could exacerbate weak global demand and the strong U.S. dollar, trends that have pushed oil prices downward this year.

Some analysts, however, believe any economic impact will be short.

“It’s not something that’s going to

throw the European economy into recession,” said Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist for S&P Capital IQ. He expects the U.S. stock market to fall about 2 per cent Monday, with larger declines in Europe.

But based on the reactions to similar attacks in the past, Stovall expects stocks to begin recovering after about a week.

Stocks and economic growth fell initially after previous terror tragedies, but markets bounced back once it became clear that there wouldn’t be a major economic impact, said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy and chief economist at AMP Capital.

The U.S. market recovered in just over a month from a 12 per cent decline after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, he said, while the U.K. market rebounded in one day after a 1.4 per cent fall the day of the 2005 London bombings.

“As horrific as these events are — and this is truly awful — economic activity does tend to be pretty resilient,” said Howard Archer, IHS Global Insight analyst in the United Kingdom. “At the end of the day, people have to get on with their lives.

And that is the best way of putting up two fingers to the terrorists.”

5 things to watch for in the business world this week

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Five things to watch in Canadian business this week: Trudeau on the Road: As part of his first foreign trip as prime minister, Justin Trudeau will attend the G20 leaders meeting in Turkey and the APEC summit in the Philippines. The Liberal leader is expected to push his spending and growth agenda as well as meet U.S. President Barack Obama.

TransCanada Update: Members of TransCanada’s senior executive team will be in Toronto on Tuesday where they will provide an update on the company’s operations and outlook following the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline. Many say the company should now focus its efforts on seeking approval for Energy East, which would connect Alberta oilsands crude with refineries and an export terminal on the East Coast.

Grocery Earnings: Wednesday will see results from grocery chains Metro and Loblaw. This past summer, Loblaw announced it was shutting down 52 locations this year in an effort to save up to $40 million in annual operating income.

Site C Court Challenge: Treaty 8 First Nations will be in court in Victoria challenging B.C. Hydro’s proposed Site C hydroelectric dam on the Peace River. The $9-billion project has stoked outrage First Nations members who say it would threaten the environment. But proponents of the development, which is expected to take a decade to build, say it would provide a clean, renewable and much-needed source of energy.

Economic Indicators: Statistics Canada will release several indicators of how the economy has been doing, including the latest figures on wholesale trade on Wednesday and inflation and retail sales on Friday.

Many U.S. states use a chance versus skill argument to help define gambling. In daily fantasy sports, players compete for cash prizes online by assembling teams of individual athletes to rack up “fantasy” points based on how those athletes perform in real-world games.

New York’s attorney general is the latest to challenge daily fantasy, declaring the contests amount to illegal sports betting in his state. He ordered DraftKings and FanDuel to stop accepting in-state bets. DraftKings and FanDuel promptly asked the state Supreme Court to nullify the order and declare the games legal.

BOSTON — Top daily fantasy sports companies are fiercely rejecting the idea that their rapidly growing industry should be considered gambling in the United States.

But FanDuel and DraftKings are OK with that label in the United Kingdom.

They’re embracing it as a step toward global expansion.

U.K. gambling regulators granted a gambling license to DraftKings in August, while FanDuel applied earlier this month for a license as a “gambling software” company.

Jeffrey Haas, chief international officer for DraftKings, maintains there’s no contradiction. DraftKings is simply approaching each jurisdiction case by case, he said.

“Our product is a game of skill. In order to be successful, you need to apply your skill in order to have the best lineups to go into our contests to win,” Haas said. “Nevertheless, our games of skill are looked at differently by regulators in different jurisdictions around the world.”

But with the gambling debate heating up at home, some in the fantasy sports industry say the international moves put the two companies in an increasingly untenable position.

“It’s pretty naive to go get gambling licenses in the U.K. and expect people to believe you’re not gambling,” said Shergul Arshad, founder of Mondogoal, a U.K.-based daily fantasy sports startup focused on professional soccer that would likely compete with DraftKings and FanDuel.

“You can’t come to a state that bans you and say it’s not gambling and then have a U.K. gaming license,” he said.

The international push for daily fantasy sports has been in the cards long before the latest scrutiny in the United States.

Haas said DraftKings will have all the required gambling protections called for in U.K. law, including age verification of gamblers and “self-exclusion” technology that allows those who are addicted to gambling to voluntarily block themselves from contests.

“We’re on track,” said Haas, who is based in London. “We want to be the biggest and best daily fantasy sports operator in the world.”

The expansion is a risk for the companies, which still aren’t profitable despite millions in investor funds.

Unlike in the United States, where sports betting is legal only in a handful of states, daily fantasy sports will have to compete with a well-established, lucrative sports betting industry internationally, industry watchers note.

And the furor at home is already forcing a financial retrenchment of sorts by the companies, which may siphon energy and resources from global expansion efforts, they say.

FanDuel declined to discuss the company’s international plans, stressing its U.K. application is the first step in a lengthy review. But Haas, of DraftKings, argues the increased scrutiny at home makes international expansion all the more critical to his company’s outlook.

“In the U.K., we have an opportunity to work in a perfectly clear regulatory environment where we understand what the rules are, the tax rates are and the sustainability of the business will be,” he said. “And as we look to expand internationally, it’s an opportunity to expand the footprint of the business in a very different way.”

Pertussis outbreaks across Canada DOCS WONDER IF WANING IMMUNITY FROM SHOTS IS A REASON

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Several provinces and at least one territory are experiencing outbreaks of pertussis, better known as whooping cough, and public health officials are encouraging Canadians of all ages to make sure their vaccinations are up to date.

The bacterial infection, which often but not always causes a “whoop� sound when breathing or coughing, is particularly dangerous for very young babies, say doctors. The disease can lead to hospitalization and, in rare cases, death.

Manitoba is dealing with an outbreak of pertussis in its southern region, where 44 of the province’s 51 cases so far this year have been reported.

Most of those who developed the infection had not been inoculated against pertussis, which is included in a vaccine that typically also protects against diphtheria, tetanus and polio. Some provinces also include Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine (Hib) or hepatitis B in the shot. “You have outbreaks from time to time, but we’re usually around 10 per year, so this is significant,� Dr. Michael Routledge, Manitoba’s chief public health officer, said Thursday from Winnipeg.

Most of those who got sick were young children, but some teens and adults also contracted the infection, Routledge added.

“We’re concerned this is happening in kids who are quite young and they can have serious complications from it.�

Whooping cough is the second most common infectious childhood disease in Canada, after influenza. While the disease is endemic, or always present in the community to some extent, outbreaks tend to be cyclical, with a spike in cases every two to five years.

Pertussis often mimics cold viruses in its symptoms — runny nose, nasal congestion, red and watery eyes, and fever — but its signature hallmark is a cough and severe wheezing that can persist for weeks. As with cold and the flu, the highly contagious disease is passed through saliva and mucus from person to person.

Infants, especially those under four months of age, are at risk for life-threatening complications such as pneumonia an inability to breathe (apnea) seizures and brain damage.

New Brunswick has also been dealing with a pertussis outbreak. The province has recorded 56 confirmed cases this year, all in the Greater Moncton area, including four new cases reported between Nov. 6 and Nov. 12 in residents aged nine to 24, a spokesman said.

The Northwest Territories has also had a jump in whooping cough cases this year. While Ontario has had some isolated outbreaks, Dr. Shelley Deeks said 2015 has “not been a huge year� for pertussis, at least compared

to some previous years.

Deeks, medical director of immunization and vaccine-preventable diseases, said Public Health Ontario has received reports of about 500 cases to date — far below the peak of more than 1,200 cases recorded in 2006.

In 1997, Canada switched to an “acellular� vaccine that had fewer side-effects than the whole-cell vaccine previously used. But the newer vaccine has been found to be less effective over time than the old one, creating what doctors call waning immunity — and possibly leading to a rise in cases. That means that besides the initial vaccine regimen — shots at two, four and six months, and boosters at 18 months, four to six years old and 14 to 16 years old — adults should also have a pertussis booster at least once more in their lifetime, said Deeks. “So adults should talk to their physicians and make sure they receive a dose of pertussis,� she said, noting that the shot would typically also contain diphtheria and tetanus components. “It’s really important for their health, but the other thing we know is that parents and grandparents are an important source of pertussis for babies. And because the disease can be quite severe in infants, we want to make sure adults are protected for it so they don’t pass it onto their children, especially newborns.�

British Columbia is also seeing a bit of a jump in whooping cough his year, with double the number of cases re-

ported in 2012, but half the case count in 2000 — reflecting the cyclical nature of the infection, said Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an infectious disease expert at the BC Center for Disease Control.

The highest proportion of cases in B.C. is among pre-teens aged 10 to 13, suggesting that waning immunity could be at play, as children that age would have had their most recent dose as four- to six-year-olds, said Skowronski.

While the goal of public health officials isn’t to eradicate pertussis — an impossible goal given its endemic nature — it’s not clear how more-consistent protection can be achieved.

Giving boosters more often would be like “chasing a moving target,�

Skowronski said. “Do you add more doses? Or are we approaching the kind of program like we have with influenza ‌ where you have to give it annually or at least every few years?â€?

Because about 80 per cent of the serious outcomes due to whooping cough occur in babies under three months, Skowronski believes that’s where the primary focus of immunization should be placed. “It’s most important that we get that first dose into children in a timely way, without delaying. Parents should be on that.�

At the same time, drug companies may need to come up with a better vaccine that could be given sooner than two months old, offering earlier protection, she said.

Obesity still rising among American adults DESPITE GOVERNMENT’S BEST EFFORTS WOMEN OVERTAKE MEN tween men and women seems to be driven by what’s happening among blacks and Hispanics, said the study’s lead author, the CDC’s Cynthia Ogden.

Obesity rates for white men and white women remain very close. But for blacks, the female obesity rate has soared to 57 per cent, far above the male rate of 38 per cent. The gender gap is widening among Hispanics, too — 46 per cent for women, 39 per cent for men.

The report also looked at obesity in children but did not see much change. For young people ages 2

NEW YORK — Obesity is still rising among American adults, despite more than a decade of public-awareness campaigns and other efforts to get people to watch their weight, and women have now overtaken men in the obese category, new government research shows.

For the past several years, experts thought the nation’s alarming, decades-long rise in obesity had levelled off. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report Thursday that the obesity rate climbed to nearly 38 per cent of adults in 2013-14, up from 32 per cent about a decade earlier. “This is a striking finding� and suggests that a situation that was thought to be stable is getting worse, said Dr. William Dietz, an obesity expert at George Washington University.

But another authority, the University of North Carolina’s Barry Popkin, urged caution, saying the participants selected for the study may not have been representative of the nation as a whole.

Experts said they had no explanation for why the obesity rate appears to be rising.

The report also found a tipping of the scales toward women. Obesity rates for men and women had been roughly the same for about a decade.

But in the new report, the rate was significantly higher for women, at 38 per cent, compared with 34 per cent for men.

Obesity — which means not merely overweight, but seriously overweight — is considered one of the nation’s leading public health problems. Until the early 1980s, only about 1 in 6 adults were obese, but the rate climbed dramatically until it hit about 1 in 3 around a decade ago.

The new figures come from a regular government survey that has about 5,000 participants each year. In interviews, people tend to understate their weight and overstate their height. But participants in this survey are actually weighed. Because of that, it is considered the gold standard for measuring the nation’s waistline.

Health officials have been especially focused on obesity in kids, who are the target of the Let’s Move campaign launched by first lady Michelle Obama in 2010.

A CDC report last year noted one possible glimmer of hope: a decline in obesity among children ages 2 to 5. Their rate had fallen to about 8 per cent in the 2011-12 survey, down from 14 per cent a decade earlier.

Pit bull police dog fights crime and stereotypes ‘IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE OF THE DOG THAT’S IMPORTANT’

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STONE RIDGE, N.Y. — The new rookie at one New York police department weighs 60 pounds, has a big, lolling tongue, a soft caramel coat and a chance to fight stereotypes in addition to crime.

When she graduates Friday from K9 training school, Kiah will be one of just a few pit bulls to serve as a police dog. It’s a job usually given to breeds that don’t come with the pit bull’s reputation — deserved or not — as a savage animal fit only for the company of criminals.

“The breed isn’t important,” said Brad Croft, who trains dogs for law enforcement and the military and found Kiah in a Texas animal shelter after her previous owner was arrested for animal cruelty. “It’s what’s inside of the dog that’s important.”

German shepherds and Belgian Malinois are most commonly employed as police and military dogs, trained to chase and detain suspects or find drugs, cadavers and missing people.

Beagles, collies, retrievers and bloodhounds are also used. Pit bull police dogs are almost unheard of.

Kiah (pronounced KY’-uh) will be a sniffer for the Poughkeepsie Police Department, used to detect drugs and track missing people. She’s also a goodwill ambassador, for her breed and for the police.

“She wants to work,” said Kiah’s handler, Officer Justin Bruzgul. “She’s high-energy. Affectionate. I couldn’t ask for a better partner.”

Croft often visits animal shelters

looking for abandoned dogs that he thinks would make good police dogs.

He selected Kiah after a worker at the shelter recognized something special in the dog.

Kiah was given to the department at no cost thanks to a partnership between Croft’s company, San Antonio-based Universal K9, an Austin animal shelter and Animal Farm Foundation, a non-profit based in New York’s Dutchess County that works to ensure “equal treatment and opportunity” for pit bulls.

Traditional K9 breeds cost as much as $15,000 per dog.

Despite frightening stories from around the country — a 9-year-old girl was fatally attacked by a pit bull this month on Long Island — advocates say the breed’s reputation for violence is undeserved, the result of the breed’s use in dogfighting and as a status symbol for gang leaders.

Bernice Clifford, Animal Farm’s director of training, noted that the term “pit bull” itself is misleading, since it is often applied to any dog with a muscular frame and block-shaped head.

As a result, she said, many are condemned to shelters and euthanasia simply because they were labeled a pit bull.

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, there is no evidence that laws banning particular breeds reduce dog attacks. A 2014 report from the Animals and Society Institute reviewed several years of data on fatal dog bites and found no correlation between dog attacks and breeds.

There’s also little connection be-

Police officer Justin Bruzgul runs with Kiah on an obstacle course at K9 school in Stone Ridge, N.Y. Kiah, a two-and-a-half year old pit bull, will soon join the Poughkeepsie Police Department as a crime-fighting, drug-sniffing police dog, a move that advocates of the breed say will counter the stereotypical image of the dog as a dangerous breed beloved by criminals. tween a dog’s breed and their aptitude for police work, according to George Carlson, the Ulster County sheriff’s deputy who trained Kiah in Stone Ridge, New York. He said a dog’s drive, energy and eagerness to please are more important factors.

Kiah is the only pit bull police dog

that he’s heard of on the East Coast, Carlson said. He calls her a “sweetheart” and expects her to excel in her new job.

“Dogs are individuals,” he said.

“They have their own personalities, just like people. And I’d rather train dogs than people.”

Dear Annie: I taught first grade for 20 years. At the beginning of each school year, after the kids were settled into our classroom, I would have them sit in front of me as they would for story time. I would tell them that I was going to do something that they would NEVER see me do again. Then I would pick my nose.

It wasn’t long before all of the kids made grimacing faces and sounds indicating their discomfort. I would then say, “It doesn’t look any better when you do it.” Then we would talk a little

about it and how they could handle this problem, if necessary, in private.

After that, I would get up and thoroughly wash my hands.

Spectre stays on top

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOX OFFICE

NEW YORK — The box-office duo of James Bond and Charlie Brown again dominated North American movie theatres over the weekend, while Angelina Jolie Pitt’s By the Sea made barely a ripple.

Sony’s Spectre, the 24th Bond installment and last week’s top film, took in $35.4 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Daniel Craig’s fourth Bond film has most flexed its muscles abroad, where the majority of its $500 million-plus two-week global haul has come from.

It got a boost, too, over the weekend in China, where it debuted with $48 million — the best opening for a 2-D, U.S. release in China, Sony said.

The Peanuts Movie, from 20th Century Fox, remained in second place with $24.2 million. Both it and Spectre held strongly in their second weeks. The Peanuts Movie has grossed $82.5 million thus far.

Of the new releases, the Christmas comedy Love the Coopers — a family holiday gathering directed by Jessie Nelson and starring an ensemble including Diane Keaton and Alan Arkin — fared the best. It took in $8.4 million for CBS Films.

Warner Bros.’ Chilean miner drama, The 33, earned a middling $5.8 million. Though the 2010 disaster, which trapped 33 miners underground, riveted the world for 69 days, moviegoers showed little interest in a dramatized version of the event starring Antonio Banderas and Lou Diamond Phillips.

Universal Pictures considerably scaled back the release of the poorly

McCarthy’s acclaimed Spotlight, about the Boston Globe investigation into Catholic priest sex abuse, pulled in $1.4 million with a per-screen average of $23,307 for Open Road Films.

Tabbed as an Oscar favourite, the film, featuring an ensemble including Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton, is stoking interest with a gradual expansion.

Next weekend, Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, the final chapter in the young-adult saga, is sure to supplant Bond at the top of the box office.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Rentrak.

Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included.

Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1. “Spectre,” $35.4 million.

2. “The Peanuts Movie,” $24.2 million.

3. “Love the Coopers,” $8.4 million.

4. “The Martian,” $6.7 million.

5. “The 33,” $5.8 million.

6. “Goosebumps,” $4.7 million.

7. “Bridge of Spies,” $4.3 million.

8. “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo,” $2.4 million.

9. “Hotel Transylvania 2,” $2.4 million.

10. “The Last Witch Hunter,” $1.5 million.

Several artists cancel events after Paris attacks

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The Foo Fighters, Natalie Portman, U2 and other entertainers have cancelled events in Paris following deadly terrorist attacks in the city.

The Foo Fighters cancelled the remaining dates of their European tour, including a planned show in Paris on Monday. Film distributor Mars said Saturday it had cancelled promotional appearances for the film Jane Got a Gun starring Portman.

The Oscar-winning actress was scheduled to appear at the film’s premiere and junket interviews on Monday in Paris.

BRIEFS

Andy White to play solo show at Fratters Irish-Australian singer/songwriter Andy White will perform songs about refugees, relationships and other emotion-packed things in Red Deer.

The down-under half of the duo Fearing & White, will do a solo show on Sunday, Nov. 22, at Fratters Speakeasy.

White’s latest album How Things Are answers the question friends have frequently been asking him — how are things, following his marriage breakup?

The Belfast-born musician and poet has set in music the hurt and confusion of an unsettled time in his life.

While his new tunes plumb the depths of emotion, critics have also lauded the album for “conjuring something uplifting” from his mid-life misery.

On a brighter note, White was recently thrilled to see his song Digni-

es with Natalie Portman Nov. 15-16,” the film distributor said in a statement Saturday.

A Sunday photo call for the film “Bridge of Spies” — where Steven Spielberg, Mark Rylance and Amy Ryan were scheduled to appear — was cancelled by the film’s distributor, Twentieth Century Fox. U2 postponed its Saturday night concert in Paris, which was to be aired

by HBO. The Foo Fighters were scheduled to play at the Accor Hotels Arena in Paris on Monday. The Dave Grohlled band cancelled Friday night’s show in Casalecchio Di Reno, Italy, as well as concerts in Turin, Italy Lyon, France and Barcelona, Spain.

“It is with profound sadness and heartfelt concern for everyone in Paris that we have been forced to announce the cancellation of the rest of our tour.

In light of this senseless violence, the closing of borders, and international mourning, we can’t continue right now,” the band said in a statement released Saturday.

“There is no other way to say it. This is crazy and it sucks. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was hurt or who lost a loved one.”

At least 129 people were killed Friday at suicide bombings near France’s national stadium, shootings at Paris cafes and a hostage-taking inside the concert theatre Bataclan, where the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal was scheduled to perform.

The terrorism-themed movie Made in France had a Nov. 18 release date but it was being postponed. The French film’s poster shows an automatic rifle on top of the Eiffel Tower.

The Grammy-winning U.S. rock

band Deftones were also scheduled to play at the venue on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

“Thank for all your inquiries on our well being. Band/Crew all safe and accounted for at this time. Prayers for those affected in these tragic events,” Deftones wrote on its Facebook page on Friday.

U2 said they will perform their show “at an appropriate time.”

“We watched in disbelief and shock at the unfolding events in Paris and our hearts go out to all the victims and their families across the city tonight,” the band said in a statement released Friday. “We are devastated at the loss of life at the Eagles of Death Metal concert and our thoughts and prayers are with the band and their fans. And we hope and pray that all of our fans in Paris are safe.”

ty, about North African migrants, was shared on Facebook by Peter Gabriel, getting 2,500 listens in one day.

White is all set to climb into his “Vlad The Impala” for a 15-date Canadian tour. He’s a veteran of 11 albums, three books and “a lifetime in rock’n’roll.”

There’s a $10 cover charge for the 8:30 p.m. show. For more information, please call 403-356-0033.

It started with the journey to Canada of two Vietnamese “boat people” and culminated with the formation of the Central Alberta Refugee Effort.

CARE — Welcoming Immigrants to Central Alberta for 35 Years is the latest exhibit at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.

It chronicles the lives of Sherry Diep and Muoi Ngo, as they left their homes in Vietnam in the late 1970s to escape the restrictive policies of the Communist regime.

Red Deer, like many communities across Canada, responded to the plight of the “boat people” — Indo-Chinese refugees who arrived at our shores seeking asylum. Between 1975 and 1980, 56,000 Vietnamese people came to Canada. When the Red Deer Ministerial Association asked for assistance in helping some of these refugees resettle in the region, CARE was born. The group became a registered non-profit society and continues to help refugees and immigrants adjust to life in Canada.

An opening reception will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday for the exhibit that runs to Jan. 24.

Rebels end road trip with win

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Rebels 4 Warriors 1 MOOSE JAW — They are the Western Hockey League version of Jekyll and Hyde.

One night after turning in a sour performance in an 8-5 loss to the Regina Pats — which followed a 4-0 win Wednesday at Brandon — the Red Deer Rebels were back in top form Saturday while skating to a 4-1 victory over the Moose Jaw Warriors.

“It was a solid game from everyone, from our goaltender on out,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “Everyone played well. They played hard and stayed with it for 60 minutes.”

Noah Gregor got the hosts off on the right foot with a power-play tally at 7:03 of the first period, but that was it for the Warriors, who directed 21 shots

at Rebels goalie Rylan Toth.

Red Deer defenceman Colton Bobyk, selected as the game’s first star, replied with a man-advantage marker late in the opening frame and Reese

Johnson — with his first goal of the season — notched the eventual winner midway through the second period.

“We didn’t get rattled when they got the first goal, we just stayed with our game,” said Sutter. “It was another good response from the game before, yet we have to find a way to get some consistency in our game.”

Grayson Pawlenchuk scored a power-play tally at 13:42 of the second period and Adam Musil sealed the deal with an empty-net, short-handed goal with 1:26 remaining in the contest.

Rebels forward Presten Kopeck was serving a five-minute kneeing major at the time.

“We played four lines and six ‘D’ all night,” said Sutter. “The players just did a really good job and now we have to find a way with stay with it … keep our focus on what we have to do and how we have to play.”

Zach Sawchenko made 28 saves for the Warriors and was named second star of the game. Rebels defenceman Haydn Fleury earned third-star status.

The Rebels were two-for-two on the power play and two-for-three on the penalty kill.

• Sutter is bringing blueline prospects Ethan Sakowich and Carson Sass in to practise with the team this week.

Sakowich, who is with the midget AAA Fort Saskatchewan Rangers, and Sass, a midget AAA Yorkton Maulers defenceman, were both selected in the third round of the 2014 WHL bantam draft, 46th and 47th overall.

“They’re both good players. We’ll have them practise with the team just to see where they’re at with their development,” said Sutter.

The Rebels return to action Friday against the visiting Saskatoon Blades. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Stamps send Lions packing from playoffs

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Stampeders 35 Lions 9 CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders stayed in the hunt for a second straight Grey Cup with a 35-9 win over the B.C. Lions in Sunday’s division semifinal.

The defending champions travel north to Edmonton to meet the Eskimos next Sunday in the CFL’s West Division final. The winner books a berth in this year’s Grey Cup in Winnipeg.

The provincial rivals tied for the best record in the CFL this season at 14-4, but Edmonton won their season series and thus the playoff bye.

“I think it’s going to be a whale of ball game,” Stampeder head coach John Hufnagel said.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats edged the Toronto Argonauts 25-22 in the earlier East semifinal. Hamilton meets the Ottawa Redblacks in the East final next Sunday.

The Stampeders will play their seventh division final in eight seasons since Hufnagel became coach and general manager in 2008. He will step aside from coaching next season to make way for offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson and continue as GM. So Sunday’s playoff game was Hufnagel’s last at McMahon Stadium on the Stampeder sidelines.

“We won and that’s a good thing,” Hufnagel said. “I’m very pleased we won the football game, that we can move on and try to earn the right to get to the Grey Cup.” Stampeder quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell improved to a career 3-0 in CFL playoff starts. The West’s nominee for the league’s Most Outstanding Player award completed 15 of 24 pass attempts for 199 yards and threw a pair of touchdown passes to Eric Rogers.

Running back Jerome Messam ran for a touchdown and posted a combined 147 yards rushing and receiving.

Defensive end Keon Raymond ran an interception in for a major in the opening quarter.

Anthony Parker caught a two-point convert throw and Rene Paredes kicked a field goal in front of an announced 26,306. Calgary punter Rob Maver added a pair of singles.

The Lions replied with a trio of Richie Leon field goals. B.C. did not score an offensive touchdown against

Calgary this season.

Travis Lulay relieved starting quarterback Jonathon Jennings just before halftime when Jennings suffered broken collarbone. It was Lulay’s first game action since spraining his knee Sept. 3 in Montreal.

Lulay was 10-for-19 in passing for 119 yards, while Jennings went 4-for7 for 56 yards. Jennings was sacked twice.

“I think the key was field position,” Lions head coach Jeff Tedford said. “I don’t know how many times we started inside our 15-yard line. It was incredible how field position, we could never get out of a hole.”

Kickoff was sunny and windy with a temperature of about 13 degrees. Calgary didn’t want their bid for a second straight Grey Cup to trip on the underdog Lions (7-11).

The Stampeder defence kept the Lions out of the end zone while the offence required a full quarter to get on track.

Hufnagel assisted his defence by winning a challenge on a pass interference call in the first quarter, which prevented the Lions from getting the ball on Calgary’s one-yard line.

B.C. settled for a field goal before Raymond picked off a Jennings pass and scored on a 38-yard return.

But Calgary’s victory was hard on their offensive line.

Injuries to centre Pierre Lavertu and left guard Shane Bergman in the first half had Spencer Wilson moving into the middle and defensive linemen Quinn Smith and Junior Turner rotating onto the offensive line. Smith has experience switching, but Turner had none.

“One thing we didn’t want to do was panic and ruin the game for ourselves,” Hufnagel said.

“Early on, we were struggling offensively. We were trying to hit some home runs and we wanted to stretch the field early. We didn’t connect. We didn’t throw really that much downfield after we suffered the injuries, because, you know, we’re just not going to do that.”

The coach didn’t have an immediate update on Bergman, who appeared to sustain an upper-body injury, or Lavertu, who limped to the sideline in the first quarter.

Wilson took over snapping the ball to Mitchell, who wasn’t sacked in the

“Junior has never practised at O-line,” Mitchell said. “To see that happen, I just kind of blocked it out

of my mind and acted like it wasn’t even happening to be honest. If you do, you start thinking about protection too much and start getting your eyes down.

Junior and Quinn did a hell of a job.”

Flames can’t find spark in loss to Blackhawks

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Flames 4 Blackhawks 1 CHICAGO — There’s just no stopping Patrick Kane these days.

And when the Chicago Blackhawks combine Kane’s offensive touch with a solid defensive effort, the defending Stanley Cup champions are tough to stop, too.

Kane scored and had an assist in Chicago’s quick three-goal outburst in the second period, and the Blackhawks beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 Sunday night.

Kane, who took over the NHL lead in goals (13) and points (28), has scored a goal in seven consecutive games and a point in 13 straight. He has 10 goals and 12 assists during his run to the top of the NHL scoring list.

But after this one, Kane shifted the spotlight from himself to his team’s overall play.

“Sometimes we’re happy with our game, sometimes we’re not —whether we’re scoring or not,” Kane said. “We want to show up every game for our team and make sure we’re doing our job, whether it’s offensively or defensively.”

According to a tweet from the NHL that credits the Elias Sports Bureau, Kane’s goal-scoring streak is the longest for a Blackhawks player since Joe Murphy connected in nine straight in 1995. The team record is 10 games, set

by Bobby Hull in 1968-69.

“I think if you start worrying about that stuff, it’s only going to go to your disadvantage,” said Kane, who also

Rookie Artemi Panarin and Marian Hossa also scored in the Blackhawks’ 1:55 blitz in the second to help lift Chicago to its second win in two nights and third in its last four contests. Jonathan Toews added an empty-netter with 37.4 seconds left.

Corey Crawford got the night off following the Blackhawks’ 4-2 win on Saturday in St. Louis.

The Blackhawks look more like their old selves with defencemen Duncan Keith, a two-time Norris Trophy winner, and Michal Rozsival back in the lineup. Both returned against the Blues and have jumped right in.

“That was probably our best two games back-to-back and the consisten-

>>>>

cy that we always look for was right there,” coach Joel Quenneville said.

David Jones scored for Calgary, which finished a four-game road trip at 1-3. Karri Ramo finished with 37 saves.

“I just think they outplayed us the majority of the game,” Jones said.

“There were a few shifts here and there where we had good pressure, but we have to be a lot better.”

Panarin, Kane’s linemate, has four goals and seven points in his last five games. Hossa’s goal was just his second this season and first in a month.

Jones opened the scoring at 3:41 of the second when he outmuscled Chicago defenceman Trevor Daley at the edge of the crease and punched in a rebound. Darling made a pad save on Joe Colborne’s initial shot from the slot.

The Blackhawks then took charge with three goals in a 1:55 span.

Kane tied it 1 all from a scrum at 6:37. After Trevor van Riemsdyk’s initial shot, Kane pounced on a loose puck at the right edge of the crease and chipped a backhand high into net.

Hossa put Chicago ahead 1:03 later on a flipping, one-timer from the top of the slot that ticked in off Ramo’s glove.

Set up by Kane’s feed from behind the net, Panarin made it 3-1 just 52 seconds after that when he fired from the low edge of the left circle.

“They used their speed to their advantage and they caught us,” Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. “And here’s a team that as soon as they get a good chance, you’ll know that they’ll capitalize on them.”

Lightning lose a heartbreaker BANTAM PROVINCIAL PLAYOFFS

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Mavericks 48 Lightning 39 With a 13-point lead and under five minutes remaining, the Hunting Hills Lightning were on their way to the provincial bantam tier 2 football championship game.

And then they weren’t.

Logan Clarkson scored his fourth touchdown of the game — on a 17-yard run around the left side — with 4:28 left in Saturday’s South regional final versus the Calgary Mavericks at Great Chief Park, giving the Lightning a 39-26 lead.

Then the unthinkable occurred.

Joshua duPlessis returned the ensuing kick-off all the way to the Hunting Hills end zone and Veljko Ponjevic added a convert to cut the Lightning lead to six points.

After Clarkson was stopped short on a third-and-two at midfield, Mavericks running back Michael Delgado — on the very next play — took off on a 54-yard touchdown run. Ponjevic’s convert made it 40-39 Calgary, and the Mavs added a late major for good measure, with Delgado racing 42 yards to paydirt.

And just like that, the visitors, with the addition of a two-point conversion on their final touchdown, were 48-39 winners and had punched their ticket to the provincial final set for Saturday against the Calgary Hilltoppers.

“It was heart-breaking,” said Lightning head coach Josh Sorensen.

“The kids really left everything they had on the field, there’s no doubt about that.”

The late collapse had everything to do with a handful of key Lightning players simply running out of steam, said Sorensen.

“Unfortunately we had a few of our

star players playing both ways and at the end they just had no energy,” said the coach. “They left everything out there. They had nothing left in them and you could see that at the end.”

The Mavericks jumped out to a 10-0 first-quarter lead on a 69-yard touchdown run by Michael Delgado and a 13-yard field goal courtesy of Jonathan Giustini, but the Lightning cut the margin to three points on a 60-yard scoring run by Logan Clarkson, who bolted up the middle while shedding three tackles.

Hunting Hills then moved in front early in the second quarter when quarterback Tristan Taylor hit Haidan Brown with a 12-yard scoring pass.

From there, the lead changed on four occasions before the Lightning seemingly built a comfortable cushion late in the game.

“It was one of the more intense and exciting games I’ve ever been a part of in all my years of football,” said Sorensen. “It was back and forth all game.”

Clarkson scored four majors for the Lightning, and — on a halfback option — also tossed a 25-yard touchdown pass to Evan Larsen. Dolan Hills had the other Hunting Hills major.

Delgado found the Lightning end zone five times and Giustini added a 17-yard field goal for the Mavericks.

“It was an amazing season, the first year both the Hunting Hills junior and senior teams won Central Alberta league titles,” said Sorensen. “I’m looking forward to next year. I have a strong nucleus of players coming back.”

In the team roping, Tyrel Flewelling earned his third Canadian heeling championship in the team roping, while his heading partner Roland McFadden of Vulcan claimed his first.

They did it by making a clean 4.8 second run in the final round, which gave them second place in the average, and enough money to stay in first overall, with a total of $38,799 each for the year. It was a three thousand dollar margin over Jeremy Buhler of Arrowwood and Levi Simpson of Ponoka.

“We had really good year, we were very consistent all year,” commented Flewelling.

“It’s always fun to win with your friends. I’m just really happy for Pony (Roland). It’s his first one, and he deserves it.”

In his first appearance at the CFR since he was a novice bronc rider, Josh Harden of Big Valley earned the Canadian All Around championship.

“I had an awesome week,” said Harden. “I could’ve done a little better personally, but for being here for the first time since 2003, I had a blast.

For the second straight year, Saskatchewan’s Dakota Buttar managed to win the Canadian bull riding honors. It was a tight three man race with Tyler Thomson and Ponoka’s Zane Lambert into the final round, where he had to make the whistle to win. He rode a bull called Cutie to 87.50 for the goround victory, to edge Lambert by a mere $513.

“I decided not to worry about that

today,” said Buttar, of the tense scenario. “I didn’t think I could pass Zane but I guess it all worked out.”

“It was a goal of mine to do it again.

I just don’t know how to describe it.

Some people don’t make it back the next year, and that was something I really wanted, to make it back to the CFR the next year. I’m speechless right now.”

Buttar, who just turned 23, had a season worth $72,066. Lambert finished the year with $71,553. Thomson, who’s declared this was his last year of bull riding, won the average.

It was an emotional victory for barrel racer Nancy Csabay. The breast cancer survivor from Taber led the standings all season long, and while she didn’t win a single go-round outright, she placed in every one of them with her horse Wicked. That gave her the average and she picked up the Top Gun award as the highest money winner of the CFR, with her total of $57,057, for a season tally of $84,715.

Louisiana’s Cody DeMoss had a big edge on the saddle bronc field coming into the CFR, and he didn’t let up at Edmonton, placing in five of the six rounds. He earned $48,015 at the CFR, for a $90,687 season and the championship at his first CFR. Fellow statesman Shane Hanchey picked up his second Canadian buckle in the tie-down roping after a consistent week of roping.

He placed in five rounds, and won the average to earn $43,650 in Edmonton, and finish on top with a $62,449 season.

It was the second year in a row for Lane Cust of Bluffton to claim the Novice Saddle Bronc championship, while Wyatt Gleeson of Sundre rode his way to the Novice Bareback title. Luke Ferber of Irricana emerged as the steer riding winner for 2015.

Queens get redemption over Broncos

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Queens 3 Broncos 1 The two-time defending Canadian champion RDC Queens have struggled through the early portion of the Alberta Colleges Women’s Volleyball League season and may have hit the bottom Friday when they blew a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 to the homestanding Olds Broncos.

So Saturday afternoon it was time for them to stand up and be counted. They did just that shaking off a 25-27 loss in the first set to go on and down the Broncos 25-23, 25-15, 25-19 at RDC. “Coming into this weekend we thought we had to play at that level,” said Queens head coach Talbot Walton, who indicated he was more than a little upset following Friday’s loss.

“I really don’t know what to say about yesterday.

I’ve never had that happen in a long time … a complete mental breakdown.

“I don’t know who that was in the third, fourth and fifth sets. Now there wasn’t much difference between the first two sets yesterday and today.”

The Queens showed the talent level they do possess as they were able to shake off Friday’s disaster.

“We came in with the mindset that losing is not a good feeling and wanted to prove we were better than that,” said Queens player of the match Miranda Dawe, who finished with 18 kills, 11 digs, there aces and a block.

“Miranda was a difference in this match,” said Walton. “She gave us what we needed. She got the kills and didn’t just hit the ball in the same spot all the time, but moved it around and was very disciplined with her sets and did what the situation called for. When she’s rolling like that she’s hard to stop.”

“We’re coming together as a team,” added Dawe.

“We’re getting to know each other and we’re executing better. I believe this game sparked something in the team and it’s up from here.”

Setter Maegan Kuzyk, who played the last two years with the NAIT Ooks and is now the team’s lone setter with Ashley Fehr out with a MCL strain, also looked more at home.

“When we’re going well everyone looks comfortable and things aren’t going well they don’t,” said Walton. “I think we take a lesson from Friday and make sure we stay focused on our side and not let other factors affect us. Once we do that everyone will feel more comfortable.”

Walton started the same group who played Friday.

“We wanted to see if they could redeem themselves and play at a higher level,” he said.

Middle Taylor Wickson added 12 kills, four blocks and six digs for the Queens while Kelsey Tymkow had eight kills, 15 digs and an ace and McKenna Barthel added seven kills, seven digs one ace and one block. Kuzyk finished with 41 assists and 11 digs while Lauren Marshall started at libero and had 12 digs. Middle Whitney Zylstra had six kills, four blocks, an ace and four digs.

Cheyenne Heidebrecht had 13 kills, an ace and

Jamie Craig had 38 assists, four digs and two blocks.

Kings 3 Broncos 0 The Kings, who defeated the Broncos 3-0 Friday, appeared to lose some focus as Saturday’s match went on but still pulled out a 25-14, 25-19, 25-17 victory over the Broncos.

“We played a clean match yesterday and with a bunch of the same guys we started off clean today but our focus did taper off a bit as we went on,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha. “We told the guys to focus on our side of the net and not worry about what else was going on. Today we weren’t as clean as yesterday and while some guys weren’t as sharp it was nice to see guys picking each other up.”

Schulha sat the majority of his starting lineup for the second straight day.

“It’s good for the other guys to get playing time against someone other than who they see at practice and it was good to rest guys who have played the majority of the time.”

Middle Ben Hankins of Red Deer was one player who got a chance to see playing time as he came in in the third set and had a kill and two blocks, much to the delight of friends and family.

Daimyn Biletsky was the RDC player of the match with 12 kills, five digs and a block while Brian Grenier continues to play well with 12 kills, eight digs and an ace. Ryan Beatson started at setter and finished with 31 assists, two aces and two digs while Grady Mawer had seven kills and seven digs.

Zachary Deacon had seven kills and two blocks for the Broncos.

Kings ride hot hand to win over Ambrose RDC BASKETBALL

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Kings 115 Lions 70 The RDC Kings meeting with the Ambrose Lions had all the ear-markings of one of the better matchups in the early portion of the Alberta Colleges Men’s Basketball League season.

The Lions were coming off a victory over the Olds Broncos and had the leading scorer in the league in Kyle Shula, who was averaging 30.5 points per game. On the other hand the Kings were undefeated, coming in after downing the Lethbridge Kodiaks and had the second leading scorer in Ian Tevis.

Both Shula (Puyallup) and Tevis (Seattle) are from Washington State, although they never met.

“We were at the free throw line and he mentioned to me we were both from there. That’s cool. It picked up the intensity a bit,” said Tevis, who won the battle of the two, pumping in a gamehigh 36 points as the Kings whipped the Lions 115-70 before an appreciative crowd at RDC. Shula, who played at Portland State before coming to the Calgary school, finished with 25 points – 18 of which came in the first half before Tevis started guarding him.

“He’s a real shifty, good player and I wanted to take the responsibility of guarding him,” said Tevis, who allowed Shula only four of his seven second-half points.

“We need someone to step up and shut down some of the outstanding guards in this league and we asked Ian to step up on defence and we challenged him to go head-to-head with Kyler,” said Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger.

“He did a good job.”

Tevis is a pure shooter, who can light up the scoreboard, but just one of several scorers on the Kings.

“We have a lot of weapons and it’s a lot of fun when we’re clicking on all cylinders,” said Tevis. “This weekend we were especially motived playing Lethbridge and then Ambrose.”

Despite the point outburst Pottinger feels the team isn’t executing on offence.

“We aren’t executing that great, but we’re scoring, scoring, scoring and it gets to a point you simply let it happen.

This team is scoring at a clip I’ve never seen before … it’s hard to rein them in. “ I did think we executed better down the stretch and the guys off the bench did a good job. They got valuable minutes and added to the offence.

It was great to see guys like Jabin (Binnendyk) and Michael (Gini) get on the board.”

And the scary thing is, if you’re an opposing player, is they’re missing five regulars in Henry and Benny Bankazo, Tyler Wise, Rodney Teal and JP LeB-

lanc.

“We were saying before the game that when we get everyone back and if we play like we can it sends shivers down your spine.”

Tevis knows the team can improve and likes the fact the bench players are involved and everyone scored.

“That was the biggest thing,” he said.

Tevis also took a minute to look back to Friday when he slammed home possibly the best dunk ever seen at RDC. “They missed the box out and I do love rebounding and got the perfect bounce,” said the six-foot guard.

While they scored 115 points the Kings also limited the Lions to 10 points in the second quarter, when they took a 52-32 lead, and 17 in the fourth.

“We focus on three things – communication, defending and transition – and I thought all three were B-plus tonight,” said Pottinger.

Anthony Ottley added 20 points for RDC while Matt Johnson had 22 and six assists, Matt Matear 10 points and 14 rebounds and Dallas Hancox eight points and 10 boards.

Queens 83 Lions 39 The Queens’ offence was solid, but it was defence that was impressive in their 83-39 win over the Lions.

The Queens outscored the Lions 1912, 22-13, 26-4 and 16-10 in each quarter.

“Our defence was a lot better than against Lethbridge, but it can get even better which we will work on in practice,” said Queens head coach Ken King, who did like the way they executed on offence for most of the game.

“It was better and our bench players competed. In fact our bench players can compete against a lot of teams in this league and when they do that it helps a lot.”

One such player is Morgan Dool, who came in and pumped in 14 points.

“She’s able to come in fresh and provides a real presence on the court,” said King, who also took Kaylee Kuba off the red shirt list and added her to the roster when Madison Whiting left the team last weekend.

Dedra Janvier led the Queens with 17 points while Paige Sneed had 13 points, four rebounds and three steals.

Emily White had 12 points and eight rebounds and Cassidy Hollingsworth 10 points.

Tracy Frimpong had 12 points for Ambrose.

The RDC teams are at Medicine Hat Friday and Briercrest Saturday. The finish the first half of the season with a home-and-home against SAIT. Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvoacte.com. His work can also be seen at www.rdc.ab.ca/atheticsblog.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ quarterback Jeremiah Masoli (8) keeps the ball and carries it during first half CFL Eastern Division Semifinal action against the Toronto Argonauts, in Hamilton, Ont., on Sunday. spent time on the practice roster. He was the club’s fourth different starter this year and was under centre with incumbent Zach Collaros (knee) and backup Jeff Mathews (concussion) out.

Masoli left the game for two series in the third. Upon his return, he completed his final seven pass attempts for 115 yards and a TD while also engineering the game-winning drive.

“We just wanted to get Masoli out of the game … and talk through what we were going to do moving forward, just settle him down a bit,” said Hamilton head coach/GM Kent Austin. “It shows you the individual that he is.

“To respond like that having not played and been on the practice roster, I can’t say enough about the man.”

Masoli said he got a different perspective of Toronto’s defence from the sidelines.

“I used that as an opportunity to Matthew McDonald blocking 32 shots at the other end.

The Stampeders also suffered a 4-1 loss to the visiting High River Flyers Saturday, their lone goal provided by Cody Lemon.

Ponoka held a 40-33 advantage in shots while getting a 29-save effort from Zeke Leuck.

The Kings were up 3-2 after 40 minutes, but gave up a power-play goal to R.T. Rice early in the third period and then the late winner to Parker, his second goal of the game.

Mike Marianchuk, Pat Martens and Logan Scevior scored for the Kings, who got a 38-save outing from Devon Fordyce.

Kirby Halcrow stopped 34 shots for the Voyageurs, whose other goal came from Lindon Beckwith.

kind of look at the defence from the back and just see what they were doing spacing-wise,” he said. “They made a couple of minor adjustments that I was able to see.”

After waiting until the middle of last week to name Masoli the starter against Toronto, Austin immediately anointed the former Oregon Duck as his No. 1 in Ottawa. Austin added he was proud of how Masoli has handled himself with the Ticats.

“That feels good,” Masoli said. “Any time you can please your boss like that and says he’s proud of you, it makes you feel good. I’m very appreciative of the opportunity. It’s very exciting to just play another week.”

Hamilton will head to Ottawa having snapped an ugly three-game losing streak. More importantly, Masoli said his teammates will be anxious for redemption against the Redblacks, who

clinched first in the East with the two wins over the Ticats.

“Those guys are a good team, they beat us for a reason,” Masoli said.

“We’re looking to get back to work and get back up there.”

Toronto continued its struggle at Tim Hortons Field, dropping to 0-6 there all-time — 0-4 versus the Ticats and 0-2 in games relocated due to scheduling issues at Rogers Centre.

Also scoring for the winners were Michael Lougheed, Cody Keith, Jesse Morrison, Donovan Teichroeb and Austin Smyth.

Aiden Doel turned aside 17 shots for Three Hills. Cubs netminder Dan Meier was under seige while making 60 saves.

Fougere tallied twice and assisted on another goal in the win over Banff.

Lougheed, Schierman, Morrison and Cody Phillips accounted for the other Thrashers goals.

Doel made 24 saves as the winning goaltender. Joel Lepper blocked 32 shots for the Bears.

There were no RDC runners in the men’s division.

“The course was muddy and more challenging than the ACAC championships had been and nearly all of the runners were slower,” said RDC head coach Brian Stackhouse.

“Melissa Ray was one of the few exceptions who ran even faster than she had two weeks earlier. Tara McDonald has been nursing a hip injury for the past two weeks and it was an accomplishment for her just to complete the course.”

The visitors led 31-14 late in the first half before the Saints recorded a major on the final play prior to the intermission to climb to within 10 points.

The second half was highlighted by big plays from both teams before Forseth clinched the victory with his touchdown reception with two minutes remaining.

Medlock’s 46-yard field goal on the final play earned Hamilton an exciting 25-22 East Division semifinal win over the Toronto Argonauts before a sundrenched Tim Hortons Field sellout of 24,029. The Ticats head to Ottawa next weekend in the conference final after suffering two late-season losses to the Redblacks.

Medlock was more than comfortable having Hamilton’s season resting on his shoulders. “(On Saturday night) I was thinking I wanted the game to come down to me,” he said. “As soon as we got past centre field I was like, ‘Let’s kick.’

“I knew (the kick was good) as soon as I hit it.”

The winning boot wasn’t nearly as difficult as the one Medlock envisioned.

“They’re always a little longer in my head,” he said with a smile. “I’m thinking I’m going to set a career high.”

Medlock nearly re-wrote the CFL record book in the first half. His 55-yard field goal to open the scoring was one yard short of the league playoff record.

Medlock’s heroics came after Toronto’s Swayze Waters hit a 42-yard field goal with 49 seconds left to make it 22-22. However, Waters missed from 39 and 40 yards earlier in the quarter.

Medlock’s kick with a 23 kilometre-an-hour wind at his back capped a smart 40-yard drive engineered by Hamilton quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, starting his first CFL playoff game.

The march was helped by a roughing-the-passer penalty against Toronto’s Martin Wright, who appeared to be blocked into Masoli.

“You guys know I saw,” Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich said. “I’m not going to get fined.”

Still, Milanovich felt good having the game come down to Waters, the CFL’s 2014 top special-teams player who battled injuries this year.

“Swayze has been a money player for us ever since he’s been here,” Milanovich said. “Any time I can send him out there I feel good about it.

“The wind was tough, he just pulled it.”

Masoli finished 12-of-18 passing for 141 yards with a TD and interception.

He also ran for 58 yards on 12 carries, his one-yard touchdown scamper at 6:14 giving Hamilton a 22-19 advantage.

The playoff win was heady indeed for Masoli, who began the season fourth on Hamilton’s depth chart and

Late goal gives Gushue rebounds from Kings another fall to win the National home win over Oilers CURLING

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Kings 4 Oilers 3 LOS ANGELES — Nick Shore scored the go-ahead goal with 1:39 left in the third period, and the Los Angeles Kings also got goals from Marian Gaborik, Tanner Pearson and Milan Lucic in a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.

Jonathan Quick made 22 saves, improving his career record against the Oilers to 16-1-5 in a matchup of teams with the best and worst records in the Pacific Division. The Kings have beaten the Oilers seven straight times at Staples Center.

Teddy Purcell, Taylor Hall and red-hot rookie Leon Draisaitl scored for the Oilers, who ended a four-game road trip that included an overtime win against the Anaheim Ducks in which they rallied three times from one-goal deficits. Draisaitl has five goals and eight assists since his promo-

tion from the minors.

Hall, the first overall pick in the 2010 draft, tied it on a short wrist shot in the slot with 4:50 remaining.

But Shore beat Cam Talbot low to the stick side with a 25-foot wrist shot after Pearson intercepted the goalie’s attempted clearing pass around the boards and fed Shore in the slot.

Talbot, who surrendered nine goals in his previous two starts, gave up Gaborik’s goal at 1:17 of the first period on the game’s first shot on net. Gaborik eluded rookie Darnell Nurse at the right of the crease to end an 11-game goal drought.

Pearson made it 2-0 at 18:56 of the first.

Edmonton got on the board at 5:17 of the second, when Draisaitl beat Quick to the glove side with a one-timer from the right circle. An injury to Connor McDavid, the first overall pick in the June draft, opened up a roster spot for Draisaitl — the 3rd overall pick in 2014.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OSHAWA, Ont. — Two weeks after his frightening fall, Brad Gushue has rebounded to win the National.

The skip from St. John’s, N.L., beat Winnipeg’s Reid Carruthers 7-2 in Sunday’s final of the Grand Slam of Curling event.

Gushue was back on the ice this week for this first time since suffering a head injury from a fall last month.

The 2006 Olympic champion needed seven stitches to close a gash above his right eye after he fell Oct. 31 at The Masters in Truro, N.S. He lost his balance and landed head first on the ice.

He said he experienced concussion-like symptoms after he left the arena and again the next day. Gushue underwent a CT scan when he returned home and rested for almost a week.

On Sunday, the veteran curler,

along with third Mark Nichols, second Brett Gallant and lead Geoff Walker weathered a few close calls in the early ends before capitalizing in the fifth end when Carruthers missed on a double attempt, going up 3-1.

Carruthers was facing three in the eighth but missed on the key last shot.

It’s the third Grand Slam title in the past two seasons for Gushue.

In the women’s final, Ottawa’s Rachel Homan edged Tracy Fleury of Sudbury, Ont., 5-4 to win her second straight Grand Slam of Curling tournament after claiming the Masters two weeks ago.

Homan, with third Emma Miskew, second Joanne Courtney, and lead Lisa Weagle, trailed 4-3 heading into the final end but scored a deuce to claim the victory.

Homan and her rink were the only team to run the table at the event, going 7-0 through round robin and the playoffs.

Homan has made the finals of all three Grand Slam events this season, with a runner-up finish in the Tour Challenge to open the season.

Holm rocks Rousey in shocking upset at UFC 193

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MELBOURNE, Australia — Ronda Rousey was the UFC’s unstoppable force until Holly Holm used the former champion’s aggression against her to produce one of the sport’s biggest upsets.

Rousey chased Holm around the ring at UFC 193 on Sunday — looking for the right hold and taking head shots along the way — until Holm saw an opening 59 seconds into the second round and snapped a kick to the head that immediately dropped her more fancied opponent to the canvas.

Holm (10-0) jumped on the prone Rousey, delivering several blows to her head before the referee intervened, ending Rousey’s 12-fight unbeaten run and handing Holm the bantamweight title.

An ecstatic Holm jumped around the ring while Rousey stayed on the canvas as she received medical treatment amid the roar of a stunned, record UFC crowd.

“She’s won a lot of fights and imposed her will on a lot of fighters,” Holm said. “So I expected her to be aggressive and impose her will on me.

“She had me on the cage for a minute and obviously she was trying in for a take down right there … she had a lot of things she was trying so I’m just glad I put in the practice,” she added.

Rousey, a former judo Olympian, was unbeaten through 12 UFC fights before meeting Holm, and a win would have been her seventh title defence. Instead, Holm, a 34-year-old veteran female boxer from Albuquerque, New Mexico, has the championship belt.

“We figured her aggression was coming, if it didn’t that’s OK, but with footwork and my career we figured she wouldn’t give me that space,” Holm said.

“There’s been a lot of blood, sweat and tears but it was all worth it.”

Rousey left the stadium to receive treatment for concussion and facial cuts at a nearby hospital after the loss and skipped the post-fight media conference.

“She was transported (to hospital) because she got knocked out,” UFC chief Dana White said. “Obviously she’s completely bummed out and depressed.”

White said a rematch between Holm and Rousey made “a lot of sense” and would put other potential matchups on the backburner.

“Obviously we don’t make fights the night of the fight, but the rematch makes a lot of sense,” he said.

“The rematch is what the people want to see.”

In the other title bout, a bloodied Joanna Jedrzejczyk outlasted Montreal’s Valerie Letourneau to successfully defend her straw-weight belt in a fiveround slugfest.

Jedrzejczyk (11-0) won a unanimous points decision over Letourneau (8-4) who offered the champion one of her tougher fights in some time.

Ronda Rousey, left, and Holly Holm fight during their UFC 193 bantamweight title bout in Melbourne, Australia, Sunday. Holm pulled off a stunning upset victory over Rousey in the fight, knocking out the women’s bantamweight champion in the second round with a powerful kick to the head Sunday. second round with some trademark, lightning-quick combinations to Letourneau’s head, while forcing the challenger to keep her distance with some effective kicks.

Organizers announced a crowd of 56,214 at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium, which normally hosts Australian rules football matches. The mark eclipsed the 55,724 fans who attended UFC 129 at Toronto’s Rogers Centre in 2011.

Rousey, 28, has taken UFC by storm since her debut in 2012 and her success has led to several movie projects as well the publishing of her autobiography.

But it was Holm’s calm confidence and the manner of her win that attracted all the attention Sunday.

“Tonight was one of those moments,” White said.

“These are the moments in fighting that make it so crazy and so fun. Tonight was one of those moments.”

Holm, a former undisputed welterweight boxing champion, said the moment of her UFC title victory was “one of those moments that you live for.”

“They’re the scariest moments. This fight was a lot for me mentally,” she added. “I couldn’t tell you how

many times I cried in the gym leading up to this fight.

“It’s a lot to take in, but those kinds of fights are the ones where a loss is devastating but a win is that sweet of a victory.”

White said that while most onlookers were shocked by Rousey’s loss, he was not one of them.

“At the end of the day I made this fight. I said this was a good fight,” he said. “Holly was the right fight.

Ronda had never faced anybody who uses the range and distance the way she does.

“This woman has four times more fights than Ronda does. She’s been a world champion,” he said.

In other fights on the undercard, Mark Hunt of New Zealand (11-10-1) won his rematch with Brazil’s Antonio Silva (19-8) by technical knockout after the referee stopped the feature heavyweight bout in the first round.

New Zealand-born Australian middleweight Robert Whittaker (16-4) earned a gutsy win on points over Uriah Hall (13-6), while Jared Rosholt (14-2) won a unanimous decision of towering Dutchman Stefan Struve (30-8) in a scrappy opening heavyweight bout of the main card.

“You make 15 threes and allow them to shoot 51 per cent you’re not going to win very many games that way,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “Until tonight, we have been (paying) good attention to detail on defensively and for whatever reason tonight we didn’t.

Kings 107 Raptors 101 SACRAMENTO, Calif. — DeMarcus Cousins stared at the stat sheet Sunday in the Kings’ locker room, perusing another night’s work where his offensive output was fabulous.

Cousins scored 10 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter and grabbed 10 rebounds to help the Kings win their third straight game, beating the Toronto Raptors 107-101.

Cousins has averaged 36.3 points in the past three games. The All-Star centre had a memorable first half, making three 3-pointers and scoring 23 points.

He made 12 of 22 shots overall, added three assists and three blocks, and also was a key factor down the stretch defensively when Sacramento scored the game’s final 11 points.

“He (Cousins) was crazy tonight, just amazing,” teammate Marco Belinelli said. “He has been playing great lately.

I’m really happy for him.”

There was no one happy in the Raptors locker room after squandering an eight-point lead in the final four-plus minutes when they were outscored 162. The Raptors missed their final seven attempts after making numerous perimeter shots in the third quarter and halfway through the fourth.

“We had miscommunications and didn’t execute down the stretch. But they got aggressive and made some timely reaches on defence,” said Kyle Lowry, who made six 3-pointers and had 22 points and seven assists. “They got to the ball and got their hands in the right positions. Obviously, they did something correct.”

After missing the previous game with a stomach virus, Rudy Gay had 26 points and Omri Casspi added 14 for Sacramento, which won despite committing 20 turnovers that led to 20 points. Rajon Rondo had seven points, 14 assists and seven rebounds, but also had seven turnovers.

Rosberg rolls to second straight win BRAZILIAN GP

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAO PAULO — Nico Rosberg is dominating the tail end of the Formula One season, cruising to his second straight victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Too bad it’s a bit too late.

Rosberg led from start to finish at Interlagos to beat Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton, who already wrapped up the season-long drivers’ title last month in Texas. Rosberg has won both races since then, also finishing first in Mexico, and has grabbed the last five pole positions.

“I pushing now just as I was at the beginning of the season,” Rosberg said after his fifth win of the season. “I don’t have an exact explanation for why it’s going so strongly now. But I just want to keep it going.”

He can make it three in a row in the final race in two weeks in Abu Dhabi, although this victory was enough to clinch second place in the standings.

Pressed repeatedly to explain his form, the German had a simple explanation.

“I think I’ve just raised my game,” he said. “That’s it.”

The race itself had little excitement as Rosberg and Hamilton spent the entire afternoon 1-2, remaining that way through three pits stops. Hamilton turned some of the fastest laps near the end but couldn’t catch his teammate and rival.

Rosberg finished in 1 hour, 31 minutes, 9.090 seconds, 7.7 seconds ahead of Hamilton.

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel finished third and teammate Kimi Raikkonen was fourth, exactly the way the top four racers started on the grid.

“I love this track,” Hamilton said. “It’s such a great circuit but it’s so difficult to overtake. … I guess for the fans, it’s probably not too exciting to watch.”

Four-time champion Vettel agreed.

“For sure, it was not very exciting,” Vettel said.

“But if you look at 10 years ago, 20 years ago it wasn’t like there was an awful lot more overtaking in the race.”

It was Hamilton’s ninth race in Brazil, and he has yet to win. He often compares his struggle to that of

Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg, of Germany, leads the race followed by teammate Lewis Hamilton, of Britain, after the start of the Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix at the Interlagos race track in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Sunday.

Brazilian great Ayrton Senna, who needed eight attempts to win his home race.

Drivers wore black armbands as a sign of mourning for those killed in deadly attacks in Paris. In addition, a French flag decorated with a black ribbon was displayed on a truck used during the drivers’ parade before the race.

The race at Interlagos was run on a dry day free of rain, which is often a feature of the Brazilian GP outside Sao Paulo. It made for a race with few incidents, little excitement and didn’t help the sport in Brazil

where a deep recession and the lack of a star driver is taking a toll on interest.

Rosberg safely protected his lead at the start with Hamilton right behind. Both pitted early and Rosberg managed to hold the lead by 0.9 seconds after the first round of stops with Vettel and Raikkonen right behind.

A third of the way through, Hamilton was closing on Rosberg — cutting the gap to 0.4 seconds — with Vettel slipping seven second behind the leaders. But that was as close as Hamilton ever got.

Late field goal keeps Patriots perfect record intact NFL ROUNDUP

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PATRIOTS 27 GIANTS 26 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Stephen Gostkowski’s 54-yard field goal with 1 second remaining Sunday kept the New England Patriots unbeaten with a 27-26 victory over the New York Giants.

After Josh Brown made his fourth field goal of the game with 1:47 remaining, Tom Brady drove the Patriots (9-0) 44 yards, converting a fourth-and-10 on the series. Gostkowski, the NFL’s leading scorer the last three seasons, sent his winning kick soaring through the uprights.

The Giants (5-5) have given the Patriots fits under Tom Coughlin and nearly pulled off another victory. But you don’t beat New England with field goals, and a 5-yard pass to Odell Beckham Jr. on New York’s final drive was originally called a touchdown, then reversed by a video review.

LIONS 18, PACKERS 16 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Matthew Stafford threw for two touchdowns, and Detroit stopped a 24-game road losing streak against Green Bay when it held on for a victory despite a late blunder by Calvin Johnson.

Mason Crosby missed a 52-yard field goal as time expired after the Packers recovered an onside kick fumbled by Johnson with 31 seconds left.

Detroit (2-7) had stopped Green Bay on a 2-point conversion attempt after Aaron Rodgers hit Justin Perillo for an 11-yard touchdown pass on the previous drive. Stafford threw for 242 yards for the league-worst Lions, an organization that had been reeling following the midseason firings of the team president and general manager.

The Packers (6-3) lost their third straight game, but this was a new low after their two previous defeats came on the road to Super Bowl contenders Denver and Carolina.

He finished the day with just 35 yards on 5-of-20 passing, four interceptions, two sacks and an almost unheard-of zero passer rating before being benched late in the third quarter.

The only highlight for Manning was his milestone: a 4-yard pass to running back Ronnie Hillman. Even that didn’t come until he’d thrown his first interception, gotten sacked and fumbled.

The Broncos (7-2) saw their ninegame AFC West winning streak come to an end with their first loss to the Chiefs (4-5) since 2011.

CARDINALS 39, SEAHAWKS 32 SEATTLE (AP) — Carson Palmer threw for 363 yards and three touchdowns, Andre Ellington had a 48-yard touchdown run with 1:58 remaining and Arizona moved three games ahead in the NFC West with a wild victory over Seattle.

Palmer helped the Cardinals (7-2) build leads of 19-0 and 22-7 at halftime, only to watch Seattle (4-5) rally and take a 29-25 lead early in the fourth

quarter on Bobby Wagner’s 22-yard fumble return that left CenturyLink Field shaking.

Undaunted by losing the lead, Palmer led the Cardinals on an 83-yard touchdown drive, capped by a 14-yard strike to Jermaine Gresham with 8:41 remaining. The Cardinals held Seattle on its next possession and Ellington added the punctuation, sprinting down the sideline on a third-down run to cap Arizona’s big night.

PANTHERS 27, TITANS 10 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Cam Newton completed his first 11 passes — the longest streak of his career — and Carolina remained unbeaten.

The Panthers (9-0) extended their league-best winning streak to 13 games as Newton ran for a touchdown and passed for another score.

The Titans (2-7) suffered their 10th

straight home loss in the first home game under interim coach Mike Mularkey.

JAGUARS 22, RAVENS 20 BALTIMORE (AP) — Jason Myers kicked a 53-yard field goal after Jacksonville got one final play on a facemask penalty with no time left, and the Jaguars ended their 13-game road losing streak.

Down 20-19 with no timeouts, the Jaguars got the ball at their 20 with 1:06 left. After moving to the Baltimore 49, Blake Bortles took the snap an instant before the clock expired and was quickly sacked by Elvis Dumervil.

But Dumervil grabbed the quarterback’s facemask, giving the Jaguars one final play even though the clock read 0:00.

The victory enabled the Jaguars (36) to end a road skid that followed a win in Cleveland on Dec. 1, 2013.

Baltimore fell to 2-7.

STEELERS 30, BROWNS 9 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger threw for 379 yards and three touchdowns.

Roethlisberger began the game on the bench to rest his sprained left foot but entered in the first quarter after Landry Jones went down with a left ankle injury. Roethlisberger completed 22 of 33 passes and was sacked once as Pittsburgh won its second straight.

Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 139 yards and two scores as the Steelers (6-4) remained unbeaten at home against Cleveland (2-8) since 2003.

Johnny Manziel passed for a career-high 372 yards with a touchdown and an interception but was also sacked six times. The Browns, ran for just 15 yards and were penalized 11 times for 159 yards.

DOLPHINS 20, EAGLES 19 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Chris McCain knocked Sam Bradford out and Reshad Jones spoiled Mark Sanchez’s comeback bid.

Ryan Tannehill threw a go-ahead 4-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry and the defence held on for Miami.

The Dolphins (4-5) snapped a twogame losing streak. The Eagles fell to 4-5.

LARSON Evelyn Nell Eileen “Nell” 1928 - 2015 It is with deepest sorrow we announce the passing of Nell Larson. Nell was born in Peace River, AB on December 15, 1928 and passed away peacefully in Invermere, BC on November 9, 2015 at the age of 86 years. Nell was a long time resident of Red Deer and worked for more than 25 years for the Red Deer Public School District as Secretary at Oriole Park School before she retired. A few years later she moved to Calgary and then on to Invermere to be closer to her family. Nell was a wonderful Mother and a very proud Grandmother. Spending time with her family was the most important part of her life, always putting others before herself. We had many happy holiday celebrations and vacations as a family over the years.

Nell was predeceased by her husband Clarence Larson in 1975 and her daughter Donna Cooper in 2010. Nell is survived by her daughters, Peggy (Jeff) Thompson and Barb (Darrell) Smith and her grandchildren, Bruce (Courtney) Thompson, Kristen (Mike) Newby, Sara Thompson, Olivia Smith and Daniel Smith and two great grandchildren, Violet Thompson and Finlay Newby.

A memorial service for Nell will be held a Parkland Funeral Home in Red Deer, AB (6287 - 67A Street- Taylor Drive) on Friday, November 20, 2015 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to The Hospice Society of the Columbia Valley, Box 925, Invermere, BC, V0A 1K0.

MEXICO CITY — Inbee Park won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational on Sunday, holding off Carlota Ciganda for her fifth victory of the season and 17th LPGA Tour title.

The second-ranked South Korean star birdied the final two holes for a bogey-free 8-under 64 and a threestroke victory over Ciganda in cloudy conditions at tree-lined Club de Golf Mexico.

“It was definitely the putter. It was really good this week,” Park said. “I made a lot of birdies this week. It was a lot of fun today, with Carlota playing so well. … It was almost a perfect day today. I didn’t make any mistakes, so I was able to focus on my game.”

Ciganda shot a 63. The Spaniard eagled the par-5 second hole and had eight birdies and a bogey.

“I did the best I could,” Ciganda said. “I putted really well today. I think that was the key. … Inbee played unbelievable and she has lots of experience. She knows how to win.”

The former Arizona State player is winless on the LPGA Tour.

Timori’s goal lifts Canada to tie with Mexico in U20 friendly

shots behind. Fathauer, trying to make it six straight PGA Tour events with a first-time winner, had a one-shot lead starting the final round but had only one birdie against two bogeys to fall back.

Knox is coming off his first win last week in Shanghai at the HSBC Champions, and he was so exhausted that he considered pulling out this week.

Instead, he continued his around-the world journey to Mexico. He can become the first player since Camilo Villegas in 2008 to win his first two PGA Tour titles in successive weeks.

The 30-year-old from Scotland ran off four straight birdies starting at No. 3, and then stuffed his approach just short of the pin on the par-3 eighth and went out in 31. He picked up his sixth birdie on the 11th hole.

McDowell has not had a top 10 since the Dubai Desert Classic in February.

He chose to end his European Tour season earlier than usual because of a mediocre season, and because he has never fared well on the course for the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai next week.

Along with his three straight birdies on the front nine was a par on the opening hole at El Camaleon. McDowell had played that hole in 5 over through three rounds — two double bogeys and a bogey. This time, he hit 3-wood off the tee.

PGA Tour rookie Harold Varner III, Justin Leonard, Patrick Rodgers and Freddie Jacobson were at 13 under, six shots behind.

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Russell Knox and Graeme McDowell each had six birdies and were tied for the lead before the final round was stopped Sunday in the rain-delayed OHL Classic at Mayakoba, setting up a sprint to the finish Monday in Mexico.

The fourth round was delayed 3 ½ hours by thunderstorms that left pools of water across El Camaleon Golf Club.

McDowell elected to finish the par-5 13th when the horn sounded to suspend play because of darkness. He made birdie to join Knox at 19-under par.

Knox was still on the 13th hole.

Jason Bohn, who chipped in for eagle on the fifth hole for an early lead, dropped two shots and was at 17 under through 12 holes. Bohn won his first PGA Tour event in 2005 and his next one in 2010. This is his final event of 2015.

The final round was to resume at 8 a.m. Monday.

This will be the first time in 10 years that back-to-back PGA Tour events finished on Monday because of rain. The Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi had a marathon finish last Monday because of the weather.

With soft conditions, there figures to be little room for error when Mayakoba ends on Monday.

“It was birdies after birdies, so it was fun,” Park said. “Carlota really got me going.”

Park finished at 18-under 270. She was making her first start since withdrawing in China two weeks ago because of a cyst on her left middle finger.

Tournament host Ochoa won 27 LPGA Tour titles. She retired in 2010.

“Winning this tournament is such an honour. It’s a thrill,” Park said.

“Lorena has done so much for women’s golf even after she retired. She’s inspired so many professionals and we love to come here and play this tournament. We really miss Lorena as well. It’s always fun to play this tournament.”

Park took the lead from top-ranked Lydia Ko in the Vare Trophy standings for season scoring average and moved within three points of Ko in the player of the year standings. Park earned $200,000 and is second on the money list with $2,570,096.

Ko skipped skipping the tournament to rest for her title defence next week in the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida.

The Canadians held much of the possession and got on the scoreboard with Timori’s first goal for Canada in the 43rd minute. But Mexico tied it up on a Canadian own goal in the 73rd. It was the second of two friendlies the teams played this week. The Mexicans had defeated Canada 2-0 on Friday.

World leaders vow to combat terrorism G20 SUMMIT

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANTALYA, Turkey — World leaders vowed a vigorous response to the Islamic State group’s terror spree in Paris as they opened a two-day meeting in Turkey on Sunday, with President Barack Obama calling the violence an “attack on the civilized world” and Russian President Vladimir Putin urging “global efforts” to confront the threat.

But beyond the tough talk and calls for action, there was little indication of how leaders intended to escalate the assault on the extremist group. The attacks in the heart of Europe — combined with earlier incidents in Lebanon and Turkey, as well as the downing of a Russian airliner in Egypt — suggest the Islamic State is reaching beyond its base in Iraq and Syria, an expansion the West has feared.

“The skies have been darkened by the horrific attacks that took place in Paris just a day and a half ago,” Obama said shortly after arriving in Antalya, a seaside resort city just a few hundred miles from the Syrian border. He waved off a question from reporters about whether he would authorize additional action against IS. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the summit host, pledged leaders would produce a “strong message” about fighting international terrorism, though he, too, did not spell out specif-

ic steps.

Putin urged nations to pool their efforts to combat terrorism, adding that the fight must respect international law, the U.N. Charter and each nation’s sovereign rights and interests.

“We understand very well that it’s only possible to deal with the terror threat and help millions of people who lost their homes by combining efforts of the entire global community,” Putin said.

While U.S. officials said Obama viewed the attacks in France as an act of war, they cautioned he had no plans to overhaul his strategy for dismantling the Islamic State group and said he remained staunchly opposed to an American ground war in Syria.

Instead, they foreshadowed an expansion of steps the U.S. is already taking, namely airstrikes and train-and-equip missions for rebels inside Syria.

The Paris violence ratcheted up the urgency at the previously scheduled Group of 20 summit, an annual meeting of leading rich and developing nations.

At least 129 people were killed in Friday’s co-ordinated attacks around Paris.

In Turkey, five police officers were injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up during a police raid on a suspected IS hideout near the Syrian border. Turkish security forces also rounded up 20 suspected IS militants in and around Antalya before the summit.

The crisis in Syria was already expected to be on the leaders’ agenda given an uptick in diplomatic manoeuvring over ways to wind down Syria’s

civil war. The conflict has stretched into its fifth year, left more than 250,000 people dead and 11 million displaced, and created a vacuum for the Islamic State and other extremist groups to thrive.

Foreign ministers gathered in Vienna over the weekend to discuss a new plan to end the war. The proposal appears to be based largely on a Russian initiative and envisions negotiations between embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government and opposition groups starting by Jan. 1.

But hopes for a major breakthrough were softened by open questions about the proposal — such as Assad’s future and the list of opposition groups to be deemed terrorists and barred from participating.

Obama and Putin huddled on the sidelines of the summit for 35 minutes to discuss the proposal, as well as Russia’s military moves in Syria. Putin began launching airstrikes in Syria about a month ago, a campaign he says is aimed at the Islamic State group, but the U.S. views as an effort to strengthen Assad’s grip on power.

Obama appeared to take a softer tone with Putin in their talks. According to a White House readout of the meeting, the U.S. president “noted the importance of Russia’s military efforts” aimed at IS. Putin’s foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said the leaders share similar “strategic goals” for defeating the Islamic State extremists “but tactical differences remain.”

Russia is Syria’s biggest benefactor, and Putin’s buy-in is crucial to any po-

litical transition. The Russian leader was also scheduled to meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel late Sunday.

Obama, meanwhile, huddled with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, another crucial player in the effort to end the Syrian war.

The Saudis are staunch opponents of Assad and a major funder of rebel groups in the country.

A more immediate option facing leaders was the possibility of France asking for help from its NATO allies.

Only once in its 66-year-history — after 9-11 — has NATO’s communal defence obligation been invoked.

Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said it was up to France whether to invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter.

European Union leader Donald Tusk called on G-20 leaders to show “full determination” against terrorism and urged co-operation to prevent terror financing — a step that nations have already been pursuing for more than a year.

And United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the response should be “robust, but always within the rule of law.”

In addition to the terror threat, this year’s G-20 agenda also included efforts to hasten global economic growth, with a particular focus on addressing the effects of China’s economic slowdown. In a draft of the final G-20 communique obtained by The Associated Press, leaders renewed their goal to grow their collective GDP by another 2 per cent by 2018.

Rare white deer herd faces uncertain future ROMULUS, N.Y. — Hundreds of ghostly white deer roaming among overgrown munitions bunkers at a sprawling former Army weapons depot face an uncertain future after living and breeding largely undisturbed since the middle of last century.

The white deer — a genetic quirk that developed naturally on the 7,000-acre (2,800-hectare), fenced-in expanse — have thrived, even as the depot itself has transitioned from one of the most important Cold War storehouses of bombs and ammunition to a decommissioned relic.

Now, as local officials seek to put the old Seneca Army Depot up for bids next month, there is concern that the sale could also mean the end of the line for the unusual white deer. A group of residents dedicated to saving the animals has proposed turning the old depot into a world-class tourist attraction to show off both its rich military history and its unusual wildlife.

The Nature Conservancy also is looking at options for preserving the largely undeveloped landscape.

“When we ran bus tours on a limited basis between 2006 and 2012, we had people come from all over the United States to see the deer,” said Dennis Money of Seneca White Deer Inc. “People are enchanted by them.”

The white deer owe their continued existence to 24 miles (39 kilometres) of rusting chain-link perimeter fencing that went up when the depot was built in 1941, capturing several dozen wild white-tailed deer in the area’s extensive woodlands. The white deer are natural genetic variants of the normal brown ones. They’re not albinos, which lack all pigment, but are leucistic, lacking pigment only in their fur.

In the wild, white deer are shortlived, being easy targets for predators and hunters looking for a unique trophy. Small herds of white fallow deer

SYRIA

Legislator praises elements of plan to end conflict DAMASCUS, Syria — A Syrian legislator praised parts of an international plan for ending Syria’s conflict on Sunday, saying elements of it are similar to those of President Bashar Assad’s government even as an opposition figure said all regional and world powers appear to be convinced that Assad must go.

Lawmaker Omar Ossi, who heads

roam protected sites in Ireland and on the campus of the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, but the Seneca Army Depot has the largest known population of white white-tailed deer, Money said.

With protection from the Army and its fence, the Seneca white deer have grown to an estimated 200. If buyers take down the fence, the white deer aren’t expected to last long.

For now, the white deer, and about 600 brown ones, roam woods and fields surrounding overgrown weapons storage bunkers, cracked roads and rusted railroad tracks. In the bright sunshine of midday, small groups of deer can be glimpsed in mowed lanes and clearings maintained by the Army. But early morning and evening are the best time to see them, and cars pull over along bordering public highways as people stop to watch. Visitors aren’t allowed inside the fence.

“They’re a huge tourist attraction,” said Lisette Wilson, who runs a farm store and bakery with her husband across the highway from the depot fence. “People are astonished. It’s quite the spectacle for them.” The store’s most popular product is “White Deer Poop,” a confection made of white chocolate, almonds and cranberries, she said.

The depot, completed a month before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, provided for the ordnance storage needs of the nation for 60 years. It covered an area larger than the city of Syracuse, 40 miles (64 kilometres) to the northeast, and stored bombs and ammunition in 500 steel-and-concrete bunkers called igloos.

The Army Corps of Engineers has maintained the site during environmental cleanup operations since the depot closed in 2000. The Army plans to finish cleanup work by the end of next year, leaving the land and its deer under the care of new owners.

In a photo provided by Seneca White Deer Inc., a white buck stands in underbrush at the former Seneca Army Depot in central New York. There are about 200 white deer, a natural variant of the brown white-tailed deer, on 7,000 acres of the decommissioned site that will soon be put up for bid. Several groups, including Seneca White Deer and The Nature Conservancy, are interested in buying the site to preserve the deer and open the area to tourism and outdoor recreation. opment Agency, said his goal is to sell the whole parcel by the end of the year to one or several buyers. All offers will be considered, he said, noting that the greatest interest has been from farmers who graze cattle and grow crops.

Seneca White Deer has launched a fundraising drive in hopes of buying at least 2,000 to 3,000 acres (800 to 1,200 hectares), if not the whole site, for a tourist attraction and wildlife preserve, Money said.

parliament’s national reconciliation committee, said the plan has many points that “run in harmony” with Assad’s position that combatting “terrorism” should be a priority. Ossi called the plan “a victory for Syrian policy and diplomacy.”

Foreign ministers from about 20 nations agreed in Vienna on Saturday to an ambitious yet incomplete plan that sets a Jan. 1 deadline for the start of negotiations between Assad’s government and opposition groups.

Washington wants Assad removed, but Kerry suggested Syrians themselves would decide the fate of the Syrian president through the democratic process.

Classic latkes

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Around Hanukkah, we usually spend a lot of time thinking up new things to top our latkes with. After all, the potato pancakes themselves are pretty simple. Shred some potatoes, bind them into patties, then fry until golden and crisp. Now bring on the sour cream and apple sauce and smoked salmon and anything else you can dream up (caviar is awfully nice!).

But this year we decided to come at it from the other side. Could we create delicious latkes that build their flavour from the inside out? Indeed! All we had to do was look to other cultures for inspiration. And so we have Greek-inspired latkes studded with shredded zucchini and chunks of feta cheese.

And we have Indian sweet potato latkes spiked with a hit of curry powder. And for an ultimate doughnut-like decadence, we created cinnamon-sugar latkes, too.

All of these variations are built from our excellent classic latke recipe, which does a great job drying the shredded potatoes (the key for crisping when fried). For a video demonstrating this recipe, go to https://youtu.be/Ve8OlJ3oLkU .

CLASSIC LATKES

Start to finish: 45 minutes Makes 12 latkes 2 pounds Russet potatoes 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon potato starch ½ cup matzo meal Peanut or grapeseed oil, for frying 2 eggs, beaten Applesauce or sour cream, to serve Using a food processor fitted with the shredding disc, grate the potatoes.

Alternatively, you can use the large holes of a box grater, but the food processor makes for a better textured, more even shred.

Working in batches, spread some of the grated potatoes and chopped onion evenly over a clean kitchen towel. Roll the towel up like a jelly roll and, holding it over a sink or bowl, twist to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Unroll the towel and transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with remaining potatoes and onion.

Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the salt, potato starch and matzo meal.

Whisk or stir to ensure there are no lumps of potato starch. Set aside.

In a large, deep skillet, heat 1/3 inch of oil to 350 F. While the oil is heating, set a cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet.

This is where your latkes will drain, so have it near your pan. Though latkes are best eaten right away, you can hold your latkes in a 200 F oven for up to 1 hour. If that is necessary, turn your oven on at this point.

When the oil is hot, combine the potato-onion mixture with the matzo-potato starch mixture and the eggs. Form into twelve 3-inch patties, and fry in batches of 3 to 4, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until deep golden brown and crispy. Transfer to the cooling rack and repeat with the remaining potato mixture. Serve immediately with applesauce or sour cream.
