SCARECROW FESTIVAL
MARKET AT RED DEER
Turnout down 20% this year BY JOHN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF Attendance at the Market at Red Deer slightly dropped in its first year at the Memorial Centre as the final market wrapped up on Saturday. The market was forced to move because of the redevelopment Market of its previous home, in pictures the Red Deer Arena. Organizer Dennis Page A6 Moffat said fewer people showed up compared to last year, but the people who were there seemed to really enjoy it. “We’re down about 20 per cent in attendance which is fine because this is a temporary move,” said Moffat. “A lot of people were saying they liked it here. We’ll have to assess it this winter and see what everybody thinks about it.” This year’s market received mixed reviews from some of the vendors, but location wasn’t the only factor. “To be truthful I don’t think it’s as good this year. I think parking and location have been one of the problems. We’re just not getting the same crowd,” said Sandra Gehmlich, of River Rock Fudge. “The economy hasn’t helped either. I think everybody is down and not only at this market, but other markets as well.” Kurt Bradshaw, of Innisfail Growers, agrees with Gehmlich, but is grateful for the people who did show up. “Considering the economy, it’s been pretty good. Sales are almost the same as last year and the regulars have continued to show up. The support has been good,” said Bradshaw. Please see MARKET on Page A8

Local transplant recipient urges Red Deerians to become blood, organ donors BY JOHN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deerians showed up in bunches to donate blood at the Red Deer Blood Donor Clinic on Saturday. John Bouw, a local transplant recipient, and his family called on the community to not only donate blood, but to register as an organ donor. Approximately 30 people showed to support the cause. Judy Jones, Blood Services Associate Director for the Prairies and N.W.T., said the number of donors
needed across Canada and central Alberta is fairly steep. “Nationally we need a 100,000 units from Oct. 11 to Nov. 11. We are really trying to encourage new donors to come in. In central Alberta we need 200 new donors every month to help support the blood system,” said Jones. She added the importance behind giving blood is much more significant this time of year. “Today was a great opportunity to let individuals in Red Deer know about the need for blood and blood donations. Around the long weekend the
need increases with so many people travelling,” said Jones. Jones said having Bouw and his family at the clinic makes the importance of donating that much more real. “Having somebody here who has needed blood and blood products gives a face to the organization and to those patients,” said Jones. “Most people who come in and donate don’t actually ever see the patient they are helping or see the immediate impact they are giving within in their community.” Please see DONOR on Page A8

According to Sharp, LED lighting was at the forefront of the college’s plans in terms of new technology and low-energy consuming products. “It consumes much less electricity (over fluorescent lighting). It’s a little bit more costly, but over time it pays itself off because of the reduction in energy,” said Sharp. “All of the lighting in the building will be LED.”

MAGNIFICENT SATURDAY
Fort McMurray says thanks for support during spring wildfire BY THE CANADIAN PRESS FORT MCMURRAY — As Canadians count the reasons they have to be grateful this Thanksgiving, Fort McMurray, is expressing its own thanks to Canada with a special video. The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo has posted a video on its Facebook page expressing the gratitude residents have for the help and support they received in the spring when a massive wildfire forced everyone to flee the city for weeks. The video begins with scenes of smoke and flames, along with accounts from residents about what they went through as they left. It then shifts to talk of the rebuilding effort, as well as the help that came from the rest of Canada. The Facebook post asks residents of the municipality to share the video to express their own thanks. It also asks neighbours elsewhere in Canada to share the video so that others can hear the message of appreciation. “Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what we are thankful for, and this weekend we are thankful for the sup-

port of Canadians. Your thoughts, prayers, donations, volunteer hours, hand-made gifts, shipments of supplies and kind words are a constant reminder of the care the residents of Wood Buffalo received in their time of need,” the post states. The fire in May forced over 80,000 people out of the northeastern Alberta city for a month and destroyed 10 per cent of its structures. In August, the Canadian Red Cross said $299 million had been raised to help with recovery from the Fort McMurray wildfire. Red Cross CEO Conrad Sauve said that included $165 million donated by Canadians to the charity. The federal government contributed $104 million to match funds donated made by individual Canadians and the province matched $30 million given by individual Albertans. “To the people of Canada, to the people of the province of Alberta, to the friends of ours just down the road from Wood Buffalo, every one of you who has put in the effort that you did, you need to know how incredibly grateful we are,” the municipality’s mayor, Melissa Blake, said at the end of the video.
Investigators find body in ruins of motel that burned over the weekend BASHAW — A body has been found in the ruins of a motel that burned over the weekend in central Alberta. RCMP say investigators found the body in the debris of the Bashaw Motor Inn on Monday, a day after the business was destroyed by fire. Police say in a news release that the body hasn’t been identified, and that recovery has been delayed due to water that’s been flowing from a damaged main. Three people were taken to hospital in serious condition after the fire. Police say one of them has been released while the conditions of the other two remain unchanged. The release says police are taking the precaution of considering the hotel

The placards should be placed in your vehicle, visible to a potential thief. “The placards serve two purposes – first, they tell thieves that the vehicle owner has taken the time to protect their belongings, and so the thief will be wasting their time and energy on this vehicle,” says Constable Kelly Crites of the Red Deer RCMP. “Second, the placards are a useful reminder to people to actually remove valuables and place tempting items out of sight every time they leave their vehicle.” Placards can be picked up at Port O Call Safeway, Sobey’s Gaetz South, Fas Gas Plus in West Park and Save on Foods East Hill. Police advise residents to protect yourself while shopping by avoiding
parking in poorly lit areas at night, store purchases in the trunk or out of sight, if you plan to continue shopping after storing bags in your trunk, move your vehicle so thieves watching for opportunities will think you’ve left, place an “All Valuables Removed” placard on your dash or in the drivers’ window, lock your vehicle, do not leave purses, wallets, cell phones or papers with personal information on them in your vehicle and do not leave spare keys in your vehicle.

It might change your views so that you understand things a bit more.’” The artist, who runs the design and animation firm Pulp Studios, has taught art and worked on independent comic books, museum exhibits, public art installments, apps and online games. He first began working with Native Counselling Services on educational comics and pamphlets for some programs aimed at children. Illustrating The Outside Circle took him two years, along with other projects. He’s happy to share his experiences with storyboarding and art design with a Red Deer audience at a as Sutton Raymond Bowers, 33, of Calgary. Bowers’ roommates were arrested at the scene. Insp.

Illustrating The Outside Circle was an exacting challenge for Edmonton artist Kelly Mellings, who will speak about his creative process this week in Red Deer. Mellings used a highly realistic drawing style because “I wanted it to feel real,” as there’s nothing fantasy-related about the gritty graphic novel written by Patti LaBoucane-Benson. The book by the Métis woman who’s a director at Native Counselling Services of Alberta, is the 2016 selection for the Red Deer Reads community book club. Her story about a young aboriginal man named Pete who’s wrapped up in gang violence and dragged down by intergenerational trauma is based on the real lives of many First Nations clients LaBoucane-Benson has known. For this reason, Mellings, who’d been asked to help tell the story in pictures, felt “pressure to tell it right, in a respectful, truthful way.” Since the artist not of aboriginal heritage, he felt an additional obligation to be authentic in his images. Before drawing aboriginal smudging ceremonies or sweat lodges, Mellings decided he’d better experienced them. The 39-year-old also toured a former Indian Residential School site and the Stan Daniels Healing Centre in Edmonton. While attending a graduation ceremony of the Warriors violence prevention program, Mellings examined some of the masks the men had made — and masks ended up playing a mystical role in the story. They symbolically cover Pete’s face when the character experiences moments of extreme emotion. The Outside Circle has gained widespread acclaim from readers and critics, and Mellings is thrilled the book was selected for Red Deer Reads. But his favourite moment was when an aboriginal elder told him that he saw bits of his own story reflected in the book. “That was the highest compliment.” The Edmonton-born artist grew up in Pigeon Lake in an army family. He was friends with many aboriginal children there, but didn’t realize at the time that their stories were different, in many ways, than his own. Mellings recently spoke to a girl he knew from Pigeon Lake who told him she later went a residential school (the last federally operated residential school closed in 1996). “This history is so recent,” said the artist, of the attempt at cultural assimilation that caused deep trauma to children and rifts in families. It’s no wonder that many First Nations communities are still dealing

COMMENT
THE ADVOCATE Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2016
Lisa Raitt’s math doesn’t add up PAUL WELLS OPINION “Mr. Speaker, another friend of mine, Marie, has three boys,” Lisa Raitt said on Wednesday during question period. Raitt is the Conservatives’ finance critic. Across the House of Commons aisle, some Liberals chuckled. Raitt had already asked a question about her friend Susan, a divorced mom in Guelph whose daughters are in university. Susan “hears about some new taxes,” Raitt said. Surely the Liberals didn’t want to introduce new taxes. Now Raitt was asking about her other friend, Marie. She did not like to hear the Liberals laughing about Marie. “Are you kidding me? They’re laughing,” she said. Finally she was able to describe Marie’s predicament. “My friend Marie has three boys. Her husband just went on disability. They have a hard time making ends meet. She is trying to deal with it as
best she can, but the money is just not there. Now she hears about more taxes.” This is the carbon tax Justin Trudeau says he will implement in provinces that don’t already have a carbon tax, or a cap-and-trade scheme of equivalent effect. Won’t the Liberals think of Marie, Raitt asked. “The reality is that the van has to be filled up to take the boys to hockey. So ‘Which one of the boys does not get to play hockey next year?’ is the question. She does not understand why the government does not realize she has a tough situation. Because if it did, it would not raise her taxes. What comfort does the government have to give her?” Later that evening, video of the whole tableau – Raitt starting her question, the snide Liberal snickering, Raitt expostulating, Raitt finishing her question –was on Rona Ambrose’s Facebook page. “The Liberals are so out of touch from what ordinary Canadians are facing,” the Conservative interim leader wrote. It was right over her photos from a mid-week conference in the United Kingdom. Let us ponder Marie’s case, to get in touch with ordinary Canadians. Trudeau’s carbon tax, in provinces
that don’t already price carbon, would be $10 per tonne of carbon emissions next year, rising to $50 a tonne in the fifth year. It’s been estimated this would boost the price of gas by about 11 cents a litre at the pump in year five. Raitt was artfully imprecise about where Marie lives. That’s because Ontario, which Raitt represents in the House of Commons, already has a capand-trade scheme in place and should not expect to worry about a $50-pertonne federal tax on top of that. Perhaps Marie is in New Brunswick. Wherever she lives, if her kids are in house-league hockey they are probably young enough to qualify for the Canada Child Benefit, introduced in Bill Morneau’s first budget. If Marie’s family income is $60,000 per year and her children are ages six, 12 and 14, she’ll qualify for about $11,500 a year in child benefits, tax-free. This compares to $3,600 in taxable benefits under the Harper government’s old Canada Child Tax Benefit. Let’s say she now nets an extra $8,500 a year. Marie must drive a lot, if carbon taxes tip the balance. Perhaps she drives a Ram ProMaster City, whose combined city-highway fuel efficiency, I learn, comes out to 9.8 litres per 100 kilometres. Kind of middling. At 11 cents
per litre, that means 100 km of driving would cost her an extra $1.08. To use up her net gain from the Canada Child Benefit on costlier hockey trips, Marie would need to drive 787,000 km a year. If the hockey season lasts 120 days, that’s 6,558 km per day. Perhaps Marie plans to drive from Moncton to Winnipeg and back for her kids’ games. If so, her enemy would not be the Liberals, but the provincial police: to get from Moncton to Winnipeg and back within a day she would need to drive at a constant speed of 273 km/h. That’s in the fifth year of a carbon tax. If Marie is lucky, one of her children will simply be too old to make the daily Moncton-to-Winnipeg hockey trek by then. It’s worth remembering that in the last year, just from market fluctuations, the average retail price for gas in Canada has wandered between a low of 83 cents and a high of $1.10 - a range of 27 cents, or nearly two and a half times the 11-cent burden Trudeau threatens. Raitt is thought to be contemplating a run at the Conservative leadership. This is the quality of work she brings to the floor of the House of Commons. Paul Wells is a national affairs writer.

The problem with referendums GWYNNE DYER OPINION President Juan Manuel Santos was not obliged to hold a referendum to ratify the deal to end 60 years of war between the Colombian government and FARC (the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia). It was held because both Santos and the FARC leaders thought a referendum victory would make it harder for any later government to break the deal – but they lost the referendum. In the (Oct. 2) referendum, slightly more than a third of qualified Colombian voters (37 per cent) actually bothered to cast a ballot – and the ‘No’ side won by a sliver-thin majority of 50.2 per cent. The ‘Yes’ side, however, got large majorities in the more rural parts of the country that had been devastated by the long war. In the war zones, most people just wanted the killing to stop, but in the safer urban areas people had the luxury of wondering whether it was morally justifiable to grant an amnesty to rebels who had killed so many people.

And as in most referendums, lots of people seized the chance to make a protest vote against the government in general. So the peace deal was lost. There is no Plan B. “If the public says ‘No,’ the process stops and there will be no result,” chief government negotiator Humberto de la Calle told Colombia’s El Tiempo newspaper. “The consequence of ‘No’ winning is war,” said former President Cesar Gaviria, who led the campaign for the ‘Yes’ vote. That may be too pessimistic, for FARC’s leaders really do want to end the war. “If ‘No’ wins, it wouldn’t mean that the process has to fall apart,” guerrilla negotiator Carlos Antonio Lozada said in late June. “We aren’t required by law to decide to continue such a painful war.” But without the legal protection of the peace deal, many of FARC’s 5,000 fighters will be reluctant to lay down their weapons and come out of the jungle. Why did Santos take the risk of a referendum? Neither the Colombian constitution nor any other country’s says that peace agreements ending civil wars must be ratified by a referendum. (National constitutions do not even consider the possibility of a civil war.) And when civil wars do end, most governments recognize that emotions are still too News News tips 403-314-4333 Sports line 403-343-2244 News fax 403-341-6560 Sports reporter 403-314-4338

raw to put necessary concessions like an amnesty for all the combatants to a popular vote. At the end of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, Nelson Mandela won the country’s first one-person-one-vote election, but he did not hold a referendum asking the voters to approve the agreement he had negotiated with the white minority regime. Instead he created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, where those who had committed atrocities were asked to admit their crimes, but were not punished. There was no referendum held to ratify the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 that effectively ended the 30-year civil war in Northern Ireland. Nobody asked the Lebanese people to approve the diplomatic Taif Agreement of 1989 that led to an end of the fifteen-year civil war there, and it was the Lebanese parliament, not a referendum, that passed the amnesty law. A referendum is a very blunt instrument even when the question at issue is less tangled and emotional than a civil war. In the recent referendum on British membership in the European Union, for example, most of the 51.9 per cent who voted to leave were really voting against mass immigration (half of which does not come from the EU) and against the impact of global-

ization on their living standards. It might as well have read: “Do you want to abandon Hungarian sovereignty and let the EU resettle terrorists here?” Ultra-nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban wanted a ‘No’, and he got it: 98 per cent of those who voted said ‘No.’ (But more than half of the electorate didn’t vote at all, possibly out of contempt for Orban’s blatant attempt to manipulate public opinion.) Then there was the Greek referendum of July last year, when Prime Minister Tsipras asked the public if it accepted the tough conditions of an EU offer to bail Greece out of a debt crisis once more. He wanted a ‘No’ and he got it (61 per cent ‘No’, 39 per cent ‘Yes) – but ten days later he ignored the result and agreed to an even harsher offer from the EU. And got away with it. Referendums are usually “advisory” and do not have the force of law. They rarely have an outcome that could not be achieved by a simple vote in an elected parliament at a hundredth of the cost. And a democratically-elected parliament does a much better job of asking and answering the right question. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist.

Prairie farmers take hit as drilling stalls BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — For 56-year-old farmer Shannon Webb, waking up Friday to six inches of snow coating his grain fields near Wynyard, Sask., the frustration of an interrupted harvest wins out, for now, over worry about the ongoing oil-and-gas drilling downturn. Like many Prairie farmers, Webb has used a steady paycheque from working on drilling rigs in winter and summer for decades to pay down his land and equipment debt and stabilize his farm income. He’s been able to leave the rig to tend his farm in spring and fall and go back to the oilpatch when dry weather or frozen ground allows drilling to ramp up again. “I was supposed to go back (to the oilpatch) by Nov. 1 but I don’t think I’m going to get much more than about two weeks out of that job, anyway,â€? he said in disgust. “I don’t think I’ll be done combining ‌ I’m going to have to get this done.â€? Webb has been working on rigs since 1978, about 38 years. He says the current downturn, marked by two years of depressed oil prices, is the worst he’s seen since the big oil price crash of the 1980s. But on Friday, he’s most concerned about the 2,000 hectares of wheat — more than half of the 3,500 he planted — that is covered in a white mantle. If luck holds, he says, the snow will melt and the land dry out in time to get equipment back in the fields before the real winter sets in. Farmer Keith McCarty, 52, would love to have a rig job to go to as he, too, deals with a harvest that’s not quite finished. At a time when he should be transitioning from wheat fields to oilfields, he is stuck on the family farm near Webb, Sask., waiting for a call — the rig he manages in Alberta was shut down last Dec. 18 for the Christmas break and it hasn’t been contracted to work since. “Being without work, yeah, it’s pretty stressful, pretty hard,â€? he said, noting he has two kids in college and another in high school. “You know the farm only gives you so much.â€? Industry forecasts suggest that 2016 will be the worst year for drilling activity in almost four decades in Canada. The Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors estimates 3,600 wells will be completed this year, down 33 per cent from last year’s 5,300 and 68 per cent from 11,200 wells in 2014. Each idle drilling rig represents about 25 field jobs, says Kevin Neveu, president and CEO of Calgary-based Precision Drilling. He said only 42 of the company’s 142 Canadian drilling rigs are working and that’s unlikely to climb beyond 80 this winter, the peak drilling season in Western Canada. Neveu said farmers are a vital cog in the drilling business for more than their complementary schedules. “Most farmers have a lot of experience with mechanical equipment, with troubleshooting, with problem-solving, with resourcefulness and, generally, farmers like things to be done in a certain way, which fits the culture of the drilling rig very, very well,â€? he said.

THE MARKET AT RED DEER Story and photos by JEFF STOKOE/ Advocate staff The Market at Red Deer wrapped up another season, and it was a decidedly cold morning to hold an outdoor market. “It was 2 below and that’s colder than a polar bears bum, frightfully cold” said market owner and manager Dennis Moffat. “Not that it was literally cold, the longer you stayed out the colder your hands and feet got and people were suffering a little,” said Moffat. But they’re good scouts and they braved it said Moffat, referring to the vendors, adding the shoppers came out but not in droves. “But the people that were interested in getting some of their fall supplies and Christmas goodies were here and I think they sold very well.” The Market will return to the parking lot at the Memorial Centre next spring.

U.S. eyes private refugee-sponsor system BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS
The United States appears to be working toward a system for privately sponsoring refugees, potentially making it the latest country to emulate the program Canada has deployed during the Syrian migration crisis. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau greets newly-arrived Syrian refugees Lucie Garabedian, centre, her father Vanig Garabedian, second left, mother Anjilik Jaghlassian, second right, and sister Anna-Maria Garabedian, right, at Pearson International airport, in Toronto. tions when asked last week. The refugee issue is an incendiary one in this election season. Republicans are fighting a migration increase, with Donald Trump warning that the Syrians represent a threat. Democrats insist they can be carefully screened, unlike in Europe they say the U.S. can do far more than the 10,000 it has accepted so far. Bier said the government has the power to do it under existing legislation. In fact, he says the U.S. has a long history with programs like this. Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. experience may predate Canada’s program. As he researched the issue, Bier realized private sponsorship from relatives and organizations helped bring in hundreds
‘They’ve created a mess’ OTTAWA WARNED ABOUT LAW THAT STRIPPED SOME CANADIANS OF CITIZENSHIP: ADVOCATE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The Canadian government was aware and warned repeatedly years before an arcane law began stripping longtime Canadians of their citizenship, says a man who spent decades lobbying for change. Bill Janzen, the former head of the Mennonite Central Committee’s office in Ottawa, said he and his colleagues met with the federal government throughout the 1980s and 1990s to find a fix to the so-called 28-year rule. The provision was part of a 1977 law that automatically removed citizenship from people born abroad to Canadian parents who were also born outside the country. “The government holds a big responsibility for this,” Janzen said. “They’ve created a mess.” The law applies to people born between Feb. 15, 1977, and April 16, 1981, no matter how quickly after their birth they moved to Canada. It was rescinded in 2009, but the change didn’t apply retroactively. The only way to prevent the automatic loss of citizenship was to apply to retain it before the age of 28 — a detail legal experts contend the government failed to adequately communicate to those affected. Janzen said he has heard numerous stories of people going to citizenship officials and being told they had never heard of the law. “They said, ‘Don’t worry about it. Go home and enjoy Canada. … Once a Canadian, always a Canadian,’ ” Janzen said, noting that officials often pointed out the absence of any expiry date on their citizenship cards. “It happened again and again and again.” Janzen has helped more than 180 people navigate the expensive and time-intensive process of regaining their citizenship over the years, So far, 160 requests have been approved. Immigration Minister John McCallum could not be reached for comment, but a spokeswoman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada said in an email the government advised those affected “when possible” of the need to apply before the age of 28 to retain their citizenship. “As we do not have data on the number of individuals who might have been impacted, we were unable to advise people systematically,” Sonia Lesage wrote, adding that the number of people who remain affected is “very small.” Lesage said the immigration minister has discretionary authority to grant citizenship in “cases of special and unusual hardship” and she encouraged anyone who thinks they might be affected to contact the department. Pete Giesbrecht knows the fear, frustration and embarrassment of having his citizenship evaporate
GULL LAKE, Sask. — Residents of a southwestern Saskatchewan community are lamenting the loss of a hotel that stood for over 100 years. Gull Lake Mayor Blake Campbell says he was with emergency crews that were called to the Clarendon Hotel on Sunday morning, and says thick smoke was billowing from the doors and windows. Campbell says firefighters had to fight the flames from outside, and ultimately they weren’t able to save the building. Nobody was injured. The building was built in 1907 and had been a grocery store, as well as a showroom and parts department, before becoming a bar and hotel. Jun Yang, who owns one of the other two hotels in

Bill Janzen is shown outside his Ottawa home. The Canadian government was aware and warned repeatedly years before an arcane law began stripping longtime Canadians of their citizenship, says Janzen, who spent decades lobbying for change. without warning. The 37-year-old man was called to the police station one morning last November in a small community in southern Manitoba and abruptly told by immigration officials he would be deported unless he voluntarily left the country within 30 days, he said. Giesbrecht was born in Mexico but in 1990 at about the age of eight he moved to Canada, where he grew up, got a job, paid taxes, married a Canadian woman and fathered three children. He doesn’t speak Spanish. Sponsored by his wife, Giesbrecht now has a permit allowing him to work in Canada and is partway through the process of becoming a landed immigrant. But hiring an immigration lawyer to fight his initial deportation order and applying for the necessary paperwork wasn’t straightforward or cheap, he said. “I’ve spent $7,000 so far,” he said, adding that he feels let down by the only country he’s ever called home. “It burned. It burned a lot. I was extremely embarrassed,” he said. “Word spread like wildfire.” Janzen said cost is a big challenge for many of the people caught by the 28-year rule, some of whom are “desperately poor.” “If your basic legal status is not settled, it’s so paralyzing,” he said. “For some of them, they’ve known there’s a problem and they’ve not known how to solve it (so) they’ve lived under the wire secretly. That’s no way to live.”

of thousands of Holocaust survivors after the Second World War. Then during the Cold War, he said, Ronald Reagan allowed private donors to bring in 16,000 Cubans and Soviet Jews. Canada’s program was born between those eras. It occurred with little fanfare in 1976. It was embedded in a little-noticed provision of the landmark 1976 Immigration Act. Newspaper articles of the day didn’t even mention that part of the law. They focused on its major reforms to the immigration system — the law created annual quotas, the modern points system, and a new family category. It deleted outdated language banning “idiots, imbeciles and morons,” and ended limits on epileptics.
Gull Lake, says the Clarendon was a landmark and that the bar on the main floor was a popular gathering place. “Now people just have to find another alternative place to gather for stuff, for hockey games, for everything,” said Yang, who owns the Safe and Sound Inn. “We just really, really show our sympathy on that hotel.” So much water was used to fight the fire that the town urged residents on Sunday to conserve it. Campbell says Gull Lake’s town council had recently formed a heritage committee and were working on getting some of their heritage properties declared. “That certainly was one that was on the radar that we definitely wanted to see as a heritage property because of the fact that it was one of the oldest buildings in the community,” Campbell said.
OTTAWA — The federal government is forbidding the construction of new embassies on Ottawa’s Sussex Drive following a stark RCMP assessment of the potential for “violent events” in the high-profile neighbourhood. Countries with diplomatic missions already located on the well-known boulevard include the United States, France, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. It is also home to Rideau Hall, where the Governor General lives, as well as the prime minister’s residence at 24 Sussex. Justin Trudeau and his family are living in a house on the Rideau Hall grounds while federal officials consider badly needed renovations to the traditional address of Canada’s leader. Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion was advised of the ban on new embassies in January by Daniel Jean, then his deputy minister, records released under the Access to Information Act show. Jean has since been named national security adviser to the prime minister. “A recently concluded RCMP security assessment advises against any additional foreign embassies being located along Sussex Drive,” says Jean’s memo to Dion, obtained by The Canadian Press. “As a result, the department will no longer be approving requests by diplomatic missions to acquire land in the affected zone.” Canada requires foreign states to obtain its consent before buying property for use as diplomatic chancery offices or official residences. In summer 2015 the RCMP began a detailed assessment, at the request of Global Affairs Canada, of how construction of new embassies on vacant lots along Sussex Drive would affect the security of nearby Canadian and foreign facilities. The Mounties looked at “risks associated with violent events likely affecting Canadian and foreign interests,” but not scenarios involving espionage or protection of critical infrastructure.

“PROUD SPONSOR OF THE SPCA”

WASHINGTON — The United States appears to be working toward a system for privately sponsoring refugees, potentially making it the latest country to emulate the program Canada has deployed during the Syrian migration crisis. A group that works with the government on resettling refugees says a pilot project is in the works. An assistant secretary of state reportedly referred to it at a public forum. Canada’s immigration minister says he has heard about a pilot project, and one small-government advocate says he’s been advising policy-makers on it. David Bier of the libertarian Cato Institute said he used the experience of the northern neighbour while making the case to government officials that the private sector could play a bigger role in resettling refugees. He said there was initial reticence when he first discussed it last year with government officials, but he said the White House became enthusiastic and the State Department got involved in the details. In the meantime, the Canadian program started getting international attention. “The fact that it was already in operation in Canada and had proven successful was invaluable to our advocacy,” Bier said in an interview. “I have no doubt that this is going to happen (in the U.S.). This is something that’s part of the agenda and is being developed by the most important actors in the American refugee system.” The Canadian program allows people to sponsor a refugee for $12,600, which includes help with income and initial costs like groceries and rent. Nearly half the Syrian refugees Canada brought in starting late last year entered through private or quasi-private initiatives. At least 13 countries have made inquiries about emulating the program, said Canada’s immigration minister John McCallum. Australia and New Zealand have adopted such programs, and McCallum said the United Kingdom is working on one. He said he’s happy to offer technical advice. “We’re definitely the pioneers in it,” he said in an interview. “I think this is a model that would be of some value all over the world, given that we face a huge global refugee crisis… “I understand that (the U.S.) is going ahead with a pilot project in this area.” The White House didn’t confirm or deny its inten-

Republicans on brink of civil war BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON — The Republican party inched toward civil war less than a month before election day, as spiralling poll numbers and controversies lit the fuse Monday for a potentially explosive conflict between its presidential nominee and senior leadership. Party brass made it clear they have stopped defending Donald Trump. They warned elected members to focus on saving Congress, as a string of surveys show such drastically plummeting support for their nominee that it threatens to take down the entire ship. Trump responded in characteristic fashion: He fired back. On his side in the skirmish is a core of the grassroots that detests its party leadership. Some are talking sabotage of the party, if a Trump spokeswoman is to be believed. Katrina Pierson said she has been deluged with calls and texts from supporters saying they’ll vote for Trump, but not for other Republicans in crucial down-ballot races. Trump, meanwhile, blasted the top Republican in Congress. This was after House Speaker Paul Ryan told members in a conference call that he would no longer be appearing with Trump he’s now focused on saving the legislature to act as a check on a potential President Hillary Clinton. “Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration,” Trump responded via social media. “And not waste his time on fighting (the) Republican nominee.” This internal brushfire was lit with two matches. The first is a clear decline in the polls. The latest head-head surveys had Clinton winning by seven percentage points, five points and a whopping 14 points. Of a dozen major pollsters, only one has shown Trump leading in the last month. Clinton leads in almost every battleground state. A survey Monday even showed Democrats leading a generic national poll on who should control Congress. In the presidential polls, they were one percentage point behind Republicans in deep-red South Carolina.

Supporters cheer for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump cheer during a rally, Monday, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The second is Trump’s comportment. There was the release of an old video where he talked about grabbing women’s genitals without permission. But his response has included an allout assault against his political rivals that many Republicans view as crude and counter-productive. One former party chairman tweeted a picture of a nuclear mushroom cloud with the caption: “(Republican party) at this moment.” This was after Trump spent part of Sunday’s debate invoking old accusations of sexual assault or misconduct against Bill Clinton. He invited the accusers to sit in the audience. Reportedly, the original plan called for them to confront Bill Clinton at the debate
— which was prevented by organizers. Trump followed up on the theme in a Pennsylvania rally speech Monday. He railed at the news media for not challenging Bill Clinton, or his wife Hillary for condoning his behaviour. The rally crowd roared its approval, but it went silent as Trump continued. He accused the media of always protecting its liberal heroes — and went on a riff about the 1969 death of Mary Jo Kopechne. She died in a car crash while riding with Kennedy, who delayed reporting it to police. Meanwhile, Trump defenders are tossing bomblets at the party. One of them, Christian conservative Jerry Falwell Jr., accused the Republican party of leaking the lewd tape in an ef-
fort to hurt Trump, who has repeatedly suggested the election is rigged against him. Senior party members have apparently had enough. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell distanced himself from the nominee Monday. At an event in his home state of Kentucky, he told a group of business leaders that if they expected to hear him discuss the presidential race, they “might as well go ahead and leave.” Ryan told members to start worrying about Congress. Polls suggest Democrats have a decent shot at regaining the Senate — and the House, while still probably out of reach, is increasingly competitive too.
After hurricane, chaos lingers in water-logged N. Carolina BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LUMBERTON, N.C. — With floodwaters from Hurricane Matthew on the rise, at least one North Carolina city appeared near chaos Monday, its police station shuttered and sporadic gunfire in the air, and authorities worried that more communities could end up the same way. The storm is gone, but it left behind a water-logged landscape where flooding was expected to persist for the rest of the week. At least three rivers were forecast to reach record levels, some not cresting until Friday. In many areas, the scene resembled a repeat of Hurricane Floyd, which caused $3 billion in damage and destroyed 7,000 homes as it skirted the coast in 1999. Officials were concerned that other cities could suffer the fate of Lumberton, a community of 22,000 people about 80 miles from the ocean. The Rev. Volley Hanson worried that stress from the lack of running wa-
ter and electricity might push people over the edge. Robeson County, which includes Lumberton, had North Carolina’s highest violent crime rate in 2014. “The cash is going to be running out. We’ve already got street vendors hawking water, Cokes and cigarettes. Cigarettes are at seven bucks a pack,” Hanson said. “It’s nuts here, and it’s going to get worse.” The storm killed more than 500 people in Haiti and at least 23 in the U.S. — nearly half of them in North Carolina. At least three people were missing. The full extent of the disaster in North Carolina was still unclear, but it appeared that thousands of homes were damaged, and more were in danger of flooding. One silver lining may be that emergency planners now have sophisticated models that can precisely determine a river’s crest and pinpoint which buildings will be flooded. But even those models have their limits. They cannot predict when a levee or a dam will fail. A levee in Lumberton appeared to fail
overnight, but officials later concluded that floodwaters had flowed around it. About 1,500 people had to be rescued early Monday. Most of them were in knee-deep water, but some fled to rooftops as the brown waters swirled around them. Rescuers still have not made it to all the submerged cars or figured out exactly how many people are missing or dead, county Emergency Management Director Stephanie Chavis said. “I’ve been here right at 28 years,” Chavis said. “This seems to be the worst one we’ve had in my career.” Damien Mosher and his fiance were trying to make it to their coastal home in South Carolina but were detoured to Lumberton because Interstate 95 — a major artery for the East Coast — was closed. Shelters turned them away because of their two dogs so they ended up in the police department parking lot, listening to occasional gunfire around them. The department’s doors were locked and most of the 75 or so officers were out helping with traffic
that makes it possible to recover the heat from it and transfer it efficiently to the cold incoming air. We are looking at this to be a huge energy saver,” said Sharpe. Sharp can’t be specific on how much energy or money the college will save through these green initiatives at this point, but he’s confident it’ll be worth it. “We don’t have those numbers right now, but it will be substantial. Those are calculations and numbers that we’ll be able to establish going into the future,” said Sharp. The cost of the building is an estimated $88 million and is expected to be completed by the fall of 2018.

MARKET: Little to complain about Many of the customers had little to complain about. “I kind of like it. It’s close to my house,” laughed Heidi Stepanek. “It’s been really nice, I’ve come several times. The vendors are really nice and I just love the food.” Beth Shaw shared the same feeling. “I love it because I’m in walking distance,” said Shaw. “I think it’s certainly a great alternative until they get the other location back.” Sheila Wright enjoyed the market, but had a hard time, with the parking lot being too far away from the vendors. “It’s not as handy and harder to get in. It’s a little more difficult especially if you’re not physically fit. People have more trouble getting in and out,” said Wright. Moffat admits there were some challenges this year, but at the same time is really happy with how things went overall. “It’s their (the community) market and they support it very well. This is our 46th year and the support we get every year has been wonderful,” said Moffat. The Red Deer Arena is expected to be completed sometime in 2018 and Moffat hopes to bring the market back to that location.

In the tiny town of Nichols, South Carolina, downstream from Lumberton, at least 100 people spent the night on the third floor of the town hall. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory pleaded with residents to heed evacuation orders and to be careful. The seven-day forecast of clear, cooler weather was good for cleanup, but might lure people into a false sense of security. “This is going to be a prolonged hurricane for us even though the skies are blue,” the governor said. Engineers had no estimate on when I-95 would reopen. Driving was difficult, if not impossible because hundreds of roads were closed, in some cases isolating entire towns.
DONOR: Make a commitment

Sarah Milewicz is patched up by Jackie Kessler after donating blood at the blood donor clinic in Red Deer on Saturday. Red Deerians were encouraged to give blood by John Bouw, a local transplant recipient. save on labour costs because of how long they last. “When you compare a fluorescent light that has about a 20,000 hour life span to a LED light that can last between 75,000-100,000 hours, you don’t need them to be replaced every four or five times a year,” said Reid. The college will also focus on building a roof water-gathering system designed to make use of rainwater and snowmelt. Instead of being diverted directly to their storm water piping system, it goes into a separate tank. Once it goes
through a filtering system, the water is used for the building’s toilet and urinal flushing system. “As we become more populated as a society, water becomes more and more precious. If you don’t start programs for water conservation early on (in construction) it becomes much harder to implement later,” said Sharp. Heat recovery is another priority for the college. Heat will be captured and reused rather than exhausting it out of the building. “It will be captured in a manner
In 2012, Bouw received two new lungs, a new heart and four units of blood to survive surgery. He can’t stress enough how important it is to give blood. “Red Deer has a shortage of blood right now and almost everybody is going to know someone who will eventually need blood. It’s a pretty important thing for people to do,” said Bouw. Jones said it can be challenging to get people in to donate and understands life can be busy, but she would like to see more of a commitment. “It’s really about keeping the awareness up. If you’ve said you should give blood one day, then why doesn’t today be that day,” said Jones. Donor Sarah Milewicz has made a commitment, donating blood 37 times with a goal of reaching 100. It’s her way of giving back. “It’s an easy way to help the community and help people out. It only takes an hour and you help save people’s lives,” smiled Milewicz.

Contract theory earns prize BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Let insiders easily cash in stock options, as Enron did, and you risk seeing executives abandon a failing company. Encourage contractors to sacrifice quality to cut costs and you might cause problems like those that led the U.S. Justice Department to phase out privately run prisons. Designing contracts is a tricky business. For their groundbreaking work on how to make contracts fairer and more effective, Oliver Hart of Harvard University and Bengt Holmstrom of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology won the 2016 Nobel prize for economics Monday. They will share the 8 million kronor ($930,000) award for their contributions to contract theory. For decades, the two men have studied practical problems involving the countless kinds of contracts that underlie modern commerce: How should companies pay their executives? What types of tasks should government agencies outsource to private contractors? How best to write an auto insurance policy to protect drivers from financial loss without lulling them into carelessness? Pay packages, Holmstrom’s work suggests, are best tailored to avoid either punishing or rewarding CEOs for happenings beyond their control. “You don’t want to reward the CEO because the S&P 500 (stock index) has gone up 20 per cent,” said Patrick Bolton of Columbia University Business School, who studied under Hart and has written a textbook on the economics of contracts. “You want to reward the CEO when his company outperforms the S&P.” Likewise, companies fare best when they establish pay packages that incentivize executives to prioritize the long term as much as the short term, to avoid focusing too much on quarterly profit expectations. “These kinds of insights into how we should design contracts are very important because we don’t want to

We want to reward the right thing.” Hart, 68, is a London-born U.S. citizen who has taught at Harvard since 1993. Holmstrom, 67, is an academic from Finland who formerly served on the board of the country’s mobile
phone company Nokia. Economists who have long known the two men and their work offered warm praise Monday. “This is the Nobel Prize in economics at its best,” said George Akerlof of Georgetown University, who won the prize in 2001. “The character of both Bengt and Oliver shines through in their work and their character: They are true intellectuals and truly great
Army Corps holds off on resuming Dakota Access pipeline work BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BISMARCK, N.D. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers won’t yet authorize construction of the $3.8 billion, fourstate Dakota Access oil pipeline on federal land in southern North Dakota, it said Monday, along with reiterating its earlier request that the pipeline company voluntarily stop work on private land in the area. The corps’ statement came in the wake of a federal appeals court ruling Sunday that allowed construction to resume on the pipeline within 20 miles of Lake Oahe. That ruling sparked a large protest Monday in North Dakota that led to the arrest of 27 people, including Divergent actress Shailene Woodley. A joint statement from the Justice Department, Interior Department and the corps said it was not ready to allow pipeline work to continue on its land bordering and under Lake Oahe, a reservoir that the agency manages on
the Missouri River and the water supply for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. It also called on pipeline owner Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners to voluntarily stop work in the area ETP didn’t respond to a request from The Associated Press for comment Sunday or Monday. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe believes the pipeline, which will cross through North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois, will destroy cultural artifacts and could pollute drinking water.

SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — Samsung’s crisis with its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone deepened Monday as the company confirmed it has adjusted its production following reports that newly released versions offered as replacements for recalled fire-prone devices have also overheated or caught fire. The company, however, did not confirm or deny a report by South Korea’s
Yonhap news agency earlier Monday that it has suspended production of the phones. In a statement and in a regulatory filing, Samsung Electronics said it is “temporarily” adjusting the Galaxy Note 7 production schedule and production volume to “ensure quality and safety matters.” The company added that it will issue an update when more details are available. Before the reports of a production suspension emerged, U.S. phone retailers AT&T and T-Mobile had al-

Woodley’s publicist didn’t immediately comment. The federal agencies also said they’re still reviewing whether there needs to be reforms in the way tribal views are considered for such projects, a process officials said they hope to conclude soon. Officials “look forward to a serious discussion during a series of consultations, starting with a listening session in Phoenix on Tuesday, on whether there should be nationwide reform on the tribal consultation process for these types of infrastructure projects,” the statement said. Except for the section in southern North Dakota, the 1,200-mile pipeline is largely complete.

BRIEFS Sophie Gregoire Trudeau to open TSX to mark International Day of the Girl TORONTO — Sophie Gregoire Trudeau will open the trading day at the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday to mark International Day of the Girl. She is collaborating with three charitable organizations — G(irls)20, Plan International Canada and FitSpirit — to illustrate how important it is for girls to have equal opportunities to boys. Farah Mohamed, the CEO of G(irls)20, said it’s important for people to realize that investing time and resources into girls pays off. Mohamed said G(irls)20 “literally invests in girls and women around the world,” by training, mentoring and advocating for them. She said the organization also helps girls launch their own social profit initiatives. The organization frames women’s and girl’s equality differently from other organizations, using financial language. Mohamed says girls are themselves resource in which businesses and governments should invest, noting that they have a high return on investment. Mohamed says when women earn a salary, they tend to put most of the money they make back into the community, which in turn raises the GDP. She adds that using this type of language breaks through to people who are more business-minded. “We started out advocating to G20 leaders,” she said, “and they’re all about the GDP.”
Small businesses wary of proposed changes to Canada Pension Plan TALBOT BOGGS MONEYWISE Canada’s small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) have a slightly different view from government about the recently-announced proposed changes to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). A survey by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has found that the majority of SMEs across Canada believe the increases in CPP, which provincial finance ministers characterized as modest, are not modest and will make it more diffi-

cult for them to grow their businesses and cope with other increases in taxes and costs. “Try growing a business and creating jobs in a tough economy with the constant threat of carbon taxes, minimum wage hikes and other new costs, then add seven straight years of CPP increases,” says Dan Kelly, CFIB president. “A full 80 per cent of small business owners say that increases in CPP contributions will make it much more difficult for them to cope with other tax increases and increased costs.” The CFIB believes the CPP expansion will be doubly damaging for many employers and their employees because it not only increases the rate of contributions but it also raises the threshold on income that was previously exempted from contributions. Starting in 2019, employer and employee premiums will increase from the current 4.95 per cent of

earnings to 5.95 per cent in 2023. Under the new plan CPP contributions will be deducted on income up to a threshold of $82,700. Previously the threshold was a maximum of $54,900 of a person’s income that was subject to mandatory CPP contributions. The new plan aims to replace 33 per cent of workers’ income up to the higher ceiling, up from 25 per cent of earnings under the current plan. SMEs play a vital role in the Canadian economy. Roughly 15 per cent of Canadians, for example, are self-employed and one in three people in the country own or work in a small business. Mid-size and large private enterprises account for almost half of total employment in the country.

Taxi drivers vow more disruption over ride-hailing LISBON, Portugal — Portuguese taxi drivers vowed Monday to prolong traffic disruption in their protest against ride-hailing apps after a meeting with government officials failed to yield an agreement. Several thousand taxis snarled traffic in the Portuguese capital in the latest European protest against ride-hailing apps. Representatives of the protesters met with government transport officials but said later there was no breakthrough and taxi drivers would continue to block traffic on some roads at least through Tuesday. Portuguese taxi drivers complain bills. Robert Gibbons at MIT’s Sloan School of Management notes that the term “contract theory” might make Holmstrom and Hart’s work sound narrower than it is. But, Gibbons explained, their research goes well beyond legally binding contracts. They have analyzed the practical arrangements worked out between many disparate players — partners within a law firm, say, or companies and their suppliers or government agencies and private contractors. Gibbons says Holmstrom and Hart’s work is just now beginning to have a practical effect as it evolves from academic research to management training to real workplaces. “The real-world stuff is coming,” he said. “You’re starting to see it.” In his writing, Hart has expressed concern about private prisons: Would profit-seeking contractors overemphasize cost-cutting over maintaining quality?
that companies such as Uber and Cabify aren’t covered by the same tax, training and safety regulations as they are. They want the government to adopt specific legislation for ridehailing services. Other European Union countries have also witnessed demonstrations by traditional taxi drivers against the increasingly popular ride-hailing services. Two labour groups representing Portugal’s around 13,000 taxi drivers organized the long line of slow-moving taxis that snaked through Lisbon in the second such protest in six months. Hundreds of police were on standby in case of violence, and sporadic scuffles broke out as taxi drivers confronted vehicles they claimed were working with Uber. Police arrested at least two protesters after a car was smashed. Riot police were deployed on roads around Lisbon’s international airport after some taxi drivers abandoned plans to head to Parliament and tried to block access routes to terminals.

of tax deduction that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump did, and Buffett says he’s paid taxes every year for 72 years. Buffett sent out a statement Monday responding to Trump’s comments during Sunday’s debate when Trump confirmed using a $916 million loss in 1995 to avoid paying federal income taxes. Buffett also released details of his own taxes and reiterated his call for Trump to release his tax returns. Buffett is a longtime supporter of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. “I have been audited by the IRS multiple times and am currently being audited,” Buffett said. “I have no problem in releasing my tax information while under audit. Neither would Mr. Trump - at least he would have no legal problem.” Buffett reported an adjusted gross income of $11,563,931 in 2015. The billionaire said his return included $5,477,694 of deductions, but tax laws kept him from claiming most of his $2,858,057,970 charitable gifts as deductions. Buffett said he paid $1,845,557 in federal income taxes last year. “I have paid federal income tax every year since 1944, when I was 13.

If given a choice, small business owners and employees would prefer Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) and personal investments for their retirement over mandated CPP increases. Over one third of employed Canadians believe the increases will reduce their ability to spend on essential goods and services and two thirds of small business owners say they will face increased pressure to freeze or cut workers’ salaries.

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS
The Lament of the Dental Receptionist Dear Dr. D: I had a tooth problem last week, and called my regular dentist. Instead of just making an appointment for me, she insisted on giving me the third degree. How much pain, where, for how long etc. I got what I interpreted as 'attitude' from her. She said she needed that information to help me, but I don't buy it. Why do they act like that? I had to pull in the 'big guns' on this question. We had a Answer: round table discussion with our front end team. They get calls daily with people requesting to see the dentist right away. Granted, there isn't much more unpleasant than dental pain, but the reception team does have a mental checklist they must go through. They need to know where the discomfort is situated, how long has it been bothering you, is it consistently throbbing or does it come and go? What were you doing/eating/drinking just before it started acting up last time? Has that tooth been treated before? With the correct answers to the above, only now can they use their expertise while perusing our schedule and the time available. Oddly enough, callers sometimes expect them to be mind readers when it comes to severity or intensity of pain. Some people fib! Hard to believe. Or, they'll demand to see a dentist right this minute but when questioned as to how long this has bothered them, the answer might be 'a few months'. The time scheduling is critical. Our treatment requires a different time allotment, different team allotment, and different dental equipment. Some surgeries that we begin cannot be interrupted, or it affects the success of the treatment. We never turn away patients in pain, and our goal is to get them out of discomfort as quickly as possible. This may be an 'open and drain' procedure with antibiotics to control the infection until we can safely treat it. Your auto service centre doesn't ask you to mimic the sound your engine is making over the phone, because that is notoriously inaccurate. So is patients' description of dental pain. We had a patient berate our receptionist recently because she said we could see him, but he was going to have to wait for up to 2 hours. He was furious. My question would be – Do you want a dentist anybody can see at any time, or do you want a dentist who is busy? We wonder how long he might be prepared to wait for a new I-phone 7? Our front end team work wonders with the information they are given. They just need to know how much time to allot you depending on the symptoms you describe.

Red Deer Rebel Brandon Hagel keeps the puck in Kelowna Rockets zone as Rocket Conner Bruggen-Cate gives chase during first-period action at the Centrium in Red Deer on Saturday.
Newcomers Lamb, Martin lead the way for Rebels ROOKIE GOALIE LAMB GETS SHUTOUT, TRADE ACQUISITION MARTIN SCORES TWO GOALS BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Rebels 5 Rockets 0 Going into the Red Deer Rebels camp this season, goaltender Riley Lamb was relatively unknown. All anyone knew was that he was the MVP in the Manitoba Midget Hockey League, and didn’t receive any other offers except from the Rebels. All that’s changed. Lamb quickly grabbed the attention of everyone with the Rebels organization, and most importantly GM/head coach Brent Sutter. The 18-year-old native of Rivers, Man., drew his first back-to-back Western Hockey League starting assignment Saturday and recorded his first shutout, blanking the Kelowna Rockets 5-0 on 38 saves before 4,515 fans at the Centrium. “It was good to get that out of the way, hopefully there’s more to come,” said Lamb. “I wanted to use him for the first time in back-toback games and he responded well,” said Sutter. “I thought the whole group responded well.” The win came 24 hours after a disappointing 6-3 loss to the Medicine Hat Tigers, who scored four power play goals. The Rebels were also zero-for-seven on the power play. On Saturday, the Rebels scored once on the power play and added a second just as a penalty expired. They also killed off five Kelowna power plays. “We needed that,” said Sutter. “Our special teams were much better. We generated chances on the power play and our penalty kill was outstanding, That was the difference in the game, especially in that first period when we were shorthanded three times. We were good and of course the goalie has to be our best penalty killer and he was tonight.” Lamb liked what he saw from his teammates as well. “Our penalty kill was excellent … I’m excited about that,” he said. “In fact our defence did a good job all night,. They tied up the sticks of the Kelowna forwards and didn’t allow any deflections. They also did a good job of allowing me to see the puck.” His best save was a scintillating first period glove
stop off Thomas Souskal, who was allowed to walk into the slot. “I think that was my best save of the game. I happened to be in the right spot … lucky on that one,” said Lamb modestly. Lamb wasn’t the only newcomer to catch Sutter’s attention. Dawson Martin, who was picked up in a trade with the Calgary Hitmen, scored his first two goals of the season. His first gave the Rebels a 2-0 lead 19:01 of the second period when he took the puck out of the corner, into the right circle and snapped a quick shot high to the short side on Kelowna netminder Brodan Salmond. His second came at 13:02 of the third period and put the lid on the scoring. “I couldn’t be happier for Dawson,” said Sutter. “He needs the confidence. I tell him every day I want him to be more of an offensive threat for us, generate offence and don’t be afraid to create stuff. “It’s a matter of putting him in situations where he’s comfortable and tonight he made smart plays on both goals. On his first he brought the puck out of the corner and waited patiently and shot in over the goalie. The second he comes out of the corner and makes a nice patient play in front.” Michael Spacek also scored twice, opening the scoring at 6:20 of the second period and adding his fourth of the season on the power play at 12:08 of the third. One of the more impressive goals on the evening, was a rocket by Colton Bobyk from the right point at 8:33 of the third period which Salmond still hasn’t seen. The Rebels turned in one of their better performances of the season despite playing their sixth game in nine days. “We’re a group that will work hard and compete, that can’t be questioned,” said Sutter. “We have to make sure we understand the way we want to play. We just need to improve on minor penalties. Tonight I thought our discipline in the first period wasn’t where we wanted it to be, but we tightened that up.” The Rebels finished with 29 shots on Salmond. They return to action Friday when they host the Moose Jaw Warriors at 7 p.m. at the Centrium.

TORONTO — September was a month the Toronto Blue Jays would like to forget. If they keep up their current level of play, October could very well be a month they remember. The Blue Jays defeated Texas 7-6 on Sunday night to eliminate the Rangers from the post-season. The victory gave Toronto a welcome break before the start of the American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Indians that begins on Friday. After going just 11-16 last month, Toronto is a perfect 6-0 in October after a pair of critical regular-season wins in Boston, a wild-card victory over Baltimore and a three-game sweep of Texas. “We turned the page on September,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “It wasn’t necessarily a good month for us but now we’re in October. So that’s sometimes the way the game works too — month to month.” Cleveland beat Boston 4-3 on Monday to sweep the other AL Division Series and will host the first two games of the ALCS against Toronto. Toronto’s offence is a big reason why the team has moved on to baseball’s final four. The Blue Jays have outscored (27-12) and out-homered (10-3) the opposition in the playoffs. Edwin Encarnacion has led the way with three homers in four post-season games. “What happened in September doesn’t matter,” said Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista. “We made it to the playoffs. We made it to the League Championship Series and that’s the only thing that matters. We’re doing our job.” Second baseman Devon Travis is nursing a bone bruise in his right knee and will welcome a few days off. Toronto management believes Travis is close to being able to play and that he had his “best day” on Monday. “Devon, every day is better,” Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said in a conference call. “We are more optimistic today at 6 p.m. than we were at 5 p.m. It’s not definite that he’ll be playable but we feel very good about it.” The Toronto bullpen, which has been worked hard in recent weeks, could also use the break. “Some people like to say a couple of days off might throw our timing off, I really don’t believe in that,” said Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin. “At this point in the year a couple days off can do wonders. So for our bullpen, our pitching, get everybody’s arms fresh. And the same thing for guys who are banged up. “A couple of days can go a long way in this game it seems like.” Two key Toronto pitchers remain out. Left-hander Francisco Liriano suffered a mild concussion last Friday and can return to the roster once he goes through Major League Baseball’s seven-day concussion protocol. Atkins said that Liriano was able “to do physical activity with no symptoms” on Monday. There is no timeline for the potential return of right-handed reliever Joaquin Benoit, who is making progress as he recovers from a torn calf muscle. “Now you get a few days off to catch your breath a little bit, which is really big for our group I think,” Gibbons said. “But you know, we are who we are. We have to slug it out. That’s really our identity.” The league championship series will be a best-ofseven affair. Toronto will host Games 3 and 4 and, if necessary, Game 5. Cleveland would host the final two games of the series if required.
Kings play two-way game in win over Huskies FALL ROYALTY CLASSIC BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Kings 104 Huskies 65 One never knows what to expect from exhibition play. That was the case for the RDC Kings during their Ramada Inn and Suites Fall Royalty Classic basketball tournament during the weekend. The Kings turned in a so-so performance to open the three-day tournament Thursday, downing the Kings University Eagles 91-82. On Friday they didn’t show up at all, losing 91-50 to the Lethbridge Kodiaks. On Saturday, the Friday night game was forgotten as they turned in a solid two-way performance in downing the Keyano Huskies of Fort McMurray 10465. “A way better effort today, I’m glad the guys bounced back and showed some signs of life after last night,” said Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger. “Our defence was immediately better and our energy was much better.” The Kings stormed out of the gate taking a 13-0 lead and never looked back. “The only thing I’m still worried about are those situations where we’re facing a bit of adversity,” said Pottinger. “Today we were up early and never looked back. But the situations where
we’re pushed is where we show our true character. We need a few more of those.” The Kings also had a deeper and more experienced lineup Saturday with Shayne Stumpf and import point guard Kai Green in the lineup. They both sat out Friday as Pottinger used his whole roster over the three days. Stumpf finished with 20 points while Green added nine and did an excellent job of running the offence. Matt Matear was outstanding, finishing with 33 points, including 20 in the first half. Ian Tevis added 27 points while hitting on seven three-pointers. “Kudos to Matt Matear, he showed a lot of leadership while Shayne had one of his best games in as a King,” said Pottinger. Huskies 79 Queens 70 The RDC Queens didn’t have the same success as the Kings yet showed more than a little promise in a 79-70 loss to the Huskies, who are considered one of the top teams in the Northern Division. “We’ve played them twice in the last week and they’re a strong team. Very athletic with a lot of weapons,” said Queens head coach Ken King, who felt foul trouble played a major role in the outcome. “Getting into foul trouble hurt us, especially in the second half when we didn’t have our starters as long as

Esks win third straight REILLY THROWS TWO TDS, RUNS ONE IN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Esikmos 40 Alouettes 20 MONTREAL — Mike Reilly has joined some select company in Edmonton Eskimos history. A 346-yard effort on 25 completions not only helped the Eskimos post a third straight win with a 40-20 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday afternoon, but it put Reilly past the 5,000 passing yards mark for the season. Only Warren Moon (1983), Ricky Ray (2005 and 2008) and his current head coach Jason Maas (2004) have hit that milestone while wearing Eskimos green and gold. “Our offence has been in development all year but we started from the beginning knowing we would have a dangerous passing attack, with our schemes combined with the weapons we have at the wide receiver position,” Reilly said. “We knew we’d be able to throw the ball. “The thing that I’m excited about more than the passing yards is what our running game has been able to do the last month or so. That makes things so much easier for us offensively. It takes a lot of pressure off our guys up front and it keeps the defence on their toes.” Reilly threw touchdown passes to
Local BRIEFS Vipers claim two victories The Red Deer Vipers. 4-4, won a pair of Heritage Junior B Hockey League games during the weekend. The Vipers edged the Medicine Hat Cubs 3-2 in a shootout at home Saturday after downing the Strathmore Kings 7-1 on the road Friday. Decain Johnson, the fourth Red Deer shooter, was the only one to score in the shootout for either team. Cole Sears made 18 saves in goal and stopped all four Medicine Hat shooters. Brody Kalinowski and Tristyn Zarubiak, who tied the game at 7:04 of the third period, scored in regulation for the Vipers. On Friday, Johnson, Mitch Morrison, Lane Sim, Drew Joslin and Brennan Schweder scored once each for the Vipers while Branden Bilodeau made 34 saves. ● The Blackfalds Wranglers, 2-3, also won a pair of games, downing the Kings 4-0 in a shootout at home Sunday after stopping the Okotoks Bisons 3-1 on the road Friday. Austin Wilson, Curtis Rangen and Brock Boguski scored once each against the Bisons with Nicolas Herrebrugh making 50 saves. Results of the Sunday game were unavailable. ● The Stettler Lightning, 4-3, split a pair of home games, edging the Airdrie Thunder 3-2 in overtime Sunday and losing 7-2 to the Cochrane Generals Saturday. Matt Sylvester notched his second goal of the game at 4:14 of overtime to give the Lightning the victory over the Thunder. Brendan Bardwell had the other goal. Tanner Thomson made 36 saves for the win. Saturday’s results were unavailable.

Brandon Zylstra and Chris Getzlaf and ran one in himself for Edmonton (8-7), and John White ran in two TDs while gaining 145 yards on 19 carries against an unusually porous Montreal defence. Sean Whyte added two field goals. The Eskimos’ single-season passing record is 5,663 yards by Ray in 2008 and Reilly has three games left to try to break it. Edmonton is going into a bye week, so his pursuit starts Oct. 22 on the road against the B.C. Lions. “It’s pretty sweet for Mike,” said Maas. “He’s deserving of that honour, but it also says a lot about your offensive line and your offence as a unit. “It’s not just him throwing it. Mike is what makes it all run. It’s a cool thing to be part of that club and obviously he has a chance to get something no other Eskimo has and that’s 6,000 yards. That’s pretty cool.” Brandon Rutley and Samuel Giguere had TDs for Montreal (4-10), now 1-1 since Jacques Chapdelaine replaced general manager Jim Popp as head coach two weeks ago. The Alouettes have not won back-to-back games this season, while 40 points is the most they’ve conceded. Rakeem Cato completed 20 passes for 268 yards.
Stampeders 48 Argonauts 20 TORONTO — He says winning in the CFL is hard but Bo Levi Mitchell and the Calgary Stampeders are making it look easy. Mitchell threw three TD strikes as Calgary clinched first in the West Division with a lopsided 48-20 win over the Toronto Argonauts on Monday afternoon. Mitchell boosted his league-leading total to 29 touchdown passes as the Stampeders (13-1-1) earned their 12th straight win and ran their CFL-record unbeaten streak to 14 games. Mitchell also improved to 41-7-1 as a starter and 5-0 versus Toronto. Calgary took control early, with Jerome Messam capping an opening 73-yard, eight-play march with a one-yard TD run, then the ensuing two-point convert before Mitchell ended the quarter with a 41-yard scoring strike to Karam Jorden, then a two-point toss to DaVaris Daniels for a commanding 19-0 lead. “I love to win, it’s my favourite thing in the world,” Mitchell said. “I know things are going well but winning in the CFL is hard and we take a lot of pride in what we do. “We know what we have, we know
we have something special. But we know it won’t mean a damn thing without finishing the last one (winning Grey Cup).” Calgary cemented home-field advantage for the West Division final Nov. 20. That’s important considering the Stampeders are 7-0 this season at McMahon Stadium. But with three regular-season games remaining, head coach Dave Dickenson faces a delicate balancing act. He must try to keep Calgary’s competitive streak going while giving key players like Mitchell and Messam, who ran for 133 yards on 17 carries for a CFL-high 1,002 yards, time off to be fresh come the playoffs. “Now the goal is really not about how many wins you have, it’s can you play your best football in the playoffs and can you be healthy?” said Dickenson. “That’s going to be a challenge for myself and I will do the best I can.” The six-foot-three, 254-pound Messam registered his second career 1,000-yard season before family and friends in his hometown. But the 31-year-old quickly put the accomplishment into perspective. “It just feels good to get it early,” said Messam, the CFL’s top Canadian in 2011 with Edmonton when he recorded his first 1,000-yard season. “It’s good to be able to do it at home.”
● The Ponoka Stampeders own their first game of the season Saturday, defeating the High River Flyers 6-2 at home.

Elliott wins Okanagan Marathon KELOWNA, B.C. — RDC cross-country running coach Kari Elliott showed the members of her team what it takes to be a champion during the weekend. Elliott, who is in her first season as head coach of the RDC team, ran away with the women’s division at the BMO Okanagan Marathon. She recorded her personal best time of 2:52:47 to finish second overall and close to nine minutes ahead of Reina Ainsworth of Edmonton, who was second in the women’s division. Ryan Prachnau of Abbotsford, B.C. won the overall title in a time of 2:39:49. Elliott won the BMO race in 2005. “I don’t know if I’ve ever felt that good, it was a miracle out there today,” said Elliott to the Kelowna Capital News.

Flames adjust to coach, goalie changes BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The start of this NHL season will be a lesson in adaptation for the Calgary Flames. They have a new head coach and new goaltenders and their top scorer was absent from training camp. A slow start was Calgary’s undoing last season. At 6-12-1 on Nov. 15, the Flames did not recover en route to a 35-40-7 record and a 20-point backslide from the previous season. Exit Bob Hartley, enter Glen Gulutzan. Training camp doesn’t seem long enough when an overhauled coaching staff and goaltending tandem is introduced, but Gulutzan is preaching no excuses. “I have full expectation that they will hit the ground running,” said the 45-year-old from Hudson Bay, Sask. Gulutzan and assistants Dave Cameron and Paul Jerrard have emphasized special teams — Calgary’s penalty kill ranked last in the NHL last season at 75.5 per cent — and aggressive defence to gain the puck. “The number one thing is we have to possess the puck more and that’s what this system is preaching,” captain Mark Giordano said. The Flames open on the road Wednesday in Edmonton’s new Rogers Place before Calgary’s home-opener
Friday against the Oilers. With their provincial rival installed in a new arena and Scotiabank Saddledome now 33 years old, the Flames are negotiating with the City of Calgary for a new building. Brian Elliott, acquired from St. Louis in a trade, and free-agent signing Chad Johnson are counted on to be off-season solutions to a sub-par goaltending situation. Jonas Hiller, Karri Ramo, Joni Ortio and Niklas Backstrom combined for a league-worst save percentage of .892 last season as the Flames allowed the most goals in the league at 260. Neither Elliott nor Johnson has a contract beyond this season. Elliott’s save percentage of .930 ranked first in the league last season. The 31-year-old from Newmarket, Ont., brings recent big-game experience as he started 18 playoff games for the Blues. “We don’t have any goalies we had last year. We have a whole new goaltending staff,” Giordano pointed out. “That’s going to be important for us to learn, communicate with them. It’s the most important position in hockey.” The elephant in the room throughout training camp had been the non-attendance of top scorer Johnny Gaudreau while he and the Flames negotiated a contract extension. However, Calgary announced on Monday that the club and the 23-year-old forward
Gaudreau signs six-year deal with Flames CALGARY — Forward Johnny Gaudreau has a new contract in time to start the NHL regular season. The Flames announced on Monday that the club and Gaudreau have agreed to a six-year contract extension. The 23-year-old Gaudreau had been a restricted free agent since his entry-level contract expired back on July 1. “I have decided to (re-sign) with the Calgary Flames. As I have always said, I just want to play hockey. agreed to a new six-year deal. Gaudreau wasn’t idle in September as he had two goals and two assists in three games for Team North America in the World Cup. “We’ve got to make sure we get out of the gates,” Giordano said. “We have some big divisional games early right off the hop. Those are big. You’ve got to get some of those (wins) early.” Sophomore forward Sam Bennett and free-agent signing Troy Brouwer forged linemate chemistry in the pre-season. Matthew Tkachuk, the No. 6 pick in
I want to be there for my teammates and for the fans of Calgary,” Gaudreau posted on his verified Twitter account. “I want to thank my family and my agent for all their support during this process. I couldn’t have done it without them.” Gaudreau, from Salem, N.J., was Calgary’s leading scorer last season with 30 goals and 48 assists in 79 games played. His 78 points placed him sixth in league scoring. Gaudreau competed for Team North America in the recent World Cup of Hockey and had two goals and two assists in three games. The Flames begin their regular season on the road against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday. this year’s NHL draft, didn’t look out of place on that line and will start the season with the Flames. The fleet-footed and puck-moving Giordano and T.J. Brodie are an enviable top-two defence pairing on any NHL team. Sean Monahan, who ranked second in Flames scoring last season, rebounded from the back strain that sidelined him from the World Cup to get into a pre-season game. Calgary has locked in the centre, who turns 22 on Wednesday, until 2023 with a contract extension reported to be $44.6 million.
Oilers hopeful to end decade-long playoff drought BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have a new arena, a new captain, an overhauled defence, and even a new mascot. But a lot of things still have to break right for the orange and blue in 2016-17 if this once-proud franchise is to avoid setting an historic NHL benchmark for futility. “We’re going to improve,” Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli told reporters in training camp. “We improved last year believe it or not and we’re going to improve again,” he continued, adding a playoff berth is “attainable.” For 10 consecutive years it has been unattainable, leaving the Oilers ridiculed as hockey’s bum nephew, getting rich handouts in top level junior talent every year, squandering it then coming back for more. They finished 29th in the NHL last year and if they miss the playoffs again it breaks the dubious record set by the Florida Panthers. Chiarelli, hired in 2015, is determined to avoid that, and has been
NHL SEASON PREVIEW scheming and experimenting, wheeling and dealing like a mad scientist. The fulcrum — and the focal point — is Connor McDavid, the 19-year-old scoring sensation set to make the much anticipated leap into the league’s elite this year. McDavid averaged better than a point a game (16 goals, 48 points in 45 games) in a rookie season shortened by a broken collarbone, and has been lighting it up in this pre-season. “The hope that we have for this season, I’m just really excited for that,” said McDavid last week when he was named captain, the youngest player in NHL history to wear the C. “I didn’t really know anyone last year coming in,” he said. “This year coming in you already know all the guys and feel very comfortable in the room.” McDavid will centre a line between headliner free agent Milan Lucic on his left and veteran Jordan Eberle on his right. Eberle is famous for his sweet
moves and soft hands but needs to deliver more at both ends of the ice. He worked on his shot and offensive positioning in the off-season. Lucic, a 28-year-old mountain man freight train will bang and crash and dig out the puck and make everyone better. He replaces Taylor Hall, the fan favourite team scoring leader in 2015-16 traded in the off-season to the New Jersey Devils for up-and-coming stayat-home stud defenceman Adam Larsson. Larsson, a 23-year old with star potential, will bookend with fellow rising star Swede Oscar Klefbom as the Oilers top pairing to finally help fix the Oilers Achilles heel — defence. They join emerging youngsters Darnell Nurse and Brandon Davidson, veteran puck mover Andrej Sekera, and shot-blocking specialist Kris Russell. Still, it’s a plan that still rests on a fragile foundation. Forward Leon Draisaitl, coming off a strong World Cup, has pinballed between centre and wing in pre-season. Centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was lauded for strong two-way play in the World Cup but needs to show more of
the offensive upside that made him the first overall pick in 2011. This year’s first-round draft pick Jesse Puljujarvi, slotted in as a top-six winger when camp began, has taken awhile to find his feet and may need time in the minors. Among the other forwards, Patrick Maroon looked good in the pre-season, Benoit Pouliot is dependable but over 30, and grinder penalty-killer Matt Hendricks is out for weeks with a knee injury. Rookie centre Drake Caggiula had all but won a roster spot in camp but went down late last week with a hip injury. The Oilers finally tired of underperforming winger Nail Yakupov, dealing the former first-overall draft pick to St. Louis for a prospect and a conditional draft selection. Cam Talbot returns for his second full season as the starting goalie. He started slowly last year and finished strong (2.55 GAA, .917 save percentage) but must prove he can put all together for 60 to 65 games. The Oilers launch the regular season Wednesday, hosting Calgary in their shiny, opulent Rogers Centre.
Dillman claims second Foothills Cowboys Association title RODEO REPORT Bareback rider Branden Dillman left Red Deer Sunday with much less hair and a shiny new buckle to show for his weekend’s rodeo work. The Rimbey cowboy was one of the champions crowned at the Foothills Cowboys Association Cowboy Classic Rodeo Finals at Westerner Park. Dillman entered the event as the season leader, but it’s a clean slate in the Finals format. That didn’t slow down the momentum for the lanky cowboy, who managed to win all four go-rounds on the weekend, to claim first in the average, and his second FCA title with 200 points, along with $4167. “It was a really good season,” said Dillman. “I stayed healthy and that was the main thing. I kept winning, and just had a blast.” “I’ve been wanting to win season leader for a lot of years, since I was a steer rider, and it just finally happened this year. To win the Finals again is a great privilege.” “I love this arena, this building. It’s a great rodeo association.” Dillman finished his Finals in style, when he recorded the highest mark of the weekend. He spurred to 75.5 on Meston’s Lonesome Dove, the same horse he’d won the Alix rodeo on earlier in the season. “I love riding bareback horses, and any time you get a chance to win, it’s great. I came in here, (with a) clear head, wanting to have fun.”

Leader J.T. Robinson of Big Valley. He’s always in the hunt, but this is only the second time he’s walked away with the Finals buckle. He placed twice, to finish first with 90 points and $1750. “I’ve been runner-up about five or six times,” grinned the busy rancher. “It was a little unconventional. I didn’t exactly rope great this weekend. But just the way circumstances fell, I ended up winning, so I was pretty happy about that.” “The FCA fits really good for me because it’s not very far from home. It’s only on weekends, and it’s not even every single weekend. So you’re not gone that much. I enjoy going to them.” K’s Thomson of Lundbreck was the talk of the FCA this year. He set records on his way to the All-Around championship, claiming Rookie of the Year, as well as Season Leader in the Novice Riding, Junior Bull Riding and the Open Bull Riding, at only 17 years of age. At the Finals, he had to choose and opted to ride in the Open bulls, where he finished runner-up. Thomson did win the buckle for Novice Riding at the Finals. The bull riding title went to Griffin Smeltzer of Claresholm, with 150 points, for $3125. Kolby Wanchuk of Sherwood Park took the saddle bronc riding, also with 150 point, and $3125. Team roping went to Rolly Thomson of Botha and Mark Flynn of Camrose, who collected 105 points and $3250 as a team. Nikki Vanderlee of Stettler was the barrel racing champion, with 120 points, and $3000, while the junior barrel racing went to a ride-off, where Alexi Oborne of Turner Valley took top honors. Steer riding went to Quinten Taylor of Parkland, with Riley Gagnon of Innisfail best in junior bulls.

Innisfail cowboy Landon Beardsworth, who came all the way back to Red Deer from college Hobbs, NM, where he’s in his third year on a rodeo scholarship. It was his first FCA Finals apBRANDEN DILLMAN pearance. “I wasn’t really happy about being here with the cold weather,” joked Beardsworth. “But I got over it.” Beardsworth placed in three of the four performances, to win the average and finish on top with 130 points, earning a $2250 payout. “I had a plan to stay consistent. The first night I was 5.4 seconds and won third, and I wanted to keep going off that. I was 5.4 the next night, but then thought I had to speed things up a little bit. I drew the right steer and was 3.7 the third night. I just tried to get one caught today and it all worked out and I ended up second.” Beardsworth has his steer wrestling horse down south, so was able to borrow neighbor Blake Gagnon’s horse for Red Deer. Monday he was headed back south to focus on his studies and the college rodeo circuit. “I’ve been picking away this semester and hopefully it just carries on from here over there. I’m trying to make the College Finals down there, and when I come back, I’ll rodeo again here this summer. I’m buying my full card next year, and I’ll try to make the CFR too.” The calf roping championship went to FCA veteran competitor and Season

Dillman also came to Red Deer rocking some long locks under his hat, and a plan. “Me and (fellow bareback finalist) Carson Stevenson have both always had long hair. We said ‘well, we should do a charity for something’, and came up with the Ronald McDonald House. So we got together, and went around the rodeo and asked for donations. So far, we’ve got $2500 raised, including my first go-round cheque. I’m donating that to them as well.” “I’m a little nervous, but it’s pretty cool feeling. The feeling it gives me on the inside that we’re doing something for a good cause is great.” The haircutting was to take place at the FCA awards banquet Sunday evening, with the winner of a draw to decide what style of a haircut the cowboys would be getting. Dillman, who also won the FCA in 2014, works building log homes in Rocky. He focused his rodeo on the one association this season, so he could work, and set up a new home with his wife in Rimbey. He’d been sidelined most of the 2015 rodeo season after slipping a disc in his lower back. After recovering, instead of riding bareback horses, he took up fighting bulls. “It’s enjoyable, something different. It keeps your mind not totally focused. I overthink things a lot, so it’s nice to get into other events and do them.” With the FCA victory, Dillman now has his eyes set on trying his bareback skills in the pro ranks. “I’ve been best friends with (CFR qualifier) Cole Goodine since we were little kids. He’s been wanting me to go with him, so I’ll get the card next year and see how she’s goes. I’ll try it out in the pros.” The steer wrestling honors went to

Thanksgiving, far from perfect BUT, LOTS TO BE THANKFUL FOR TREENA MIELKE FAMILY We had Thanksgiving early this year. It was lovely. It wasn’t perfect, of course, it was so much less than perfect, but even as the edges of perfection got all blurred just like the edges of my cherry pie crust got slightly burned, it was very awesome. Of course I wanted a picture perfect Thanksgiving and in my mind, I visualized it, imagining myself and my Thanksgiving scenario the centre spread of Better Homes and Gardens or some other such glossy type magazine. Perfectly set table. Everything matching. Chairs, dishes, silverware, all in place. I could even see my home ec teacher from long ago applauding me and forgiving me for not paying attention. In those days incredible as it may seem, we were required to dress accordingly on home ec day which meant no blue jeans. We had to wear dresses, proper dresses of course, dresses befitting the ladies we were preparing to become. I smile as I remember. My children
would not believe such a dress code and my grandchildren would simply roll their eyes and go back to their iPads. Anyway, back to my visioning. As the perfect hostess, I would sit, demure, eyes downcast, smoothing out my cute little apron and saying things like, “would you care for more of these delicious Brussels sprouts?”. Of course, none of that came to be. I don’t, in fact, own a cute little apron, or any apron for that matter. And try as I might, I could not get the entire famdamily around my kitchen table, even stretching it out to its very widest. And so we had to have the kid’s table, which is not necessarily the kids table, but the overflow table. But, so it happened, the kids and even my daughter-in-law, bless her and her lovely quinoa salad, seemed perfectly content to sit at the kids table. For some reason, known only perhaps to the child himself, Jacob, our precarious two-year-old, ended up not only at the big table with the adults, but at the head of the big table, and quite, I might add, delighted to be there. And, so even as the wind got all huffy and blew huge swirls of leaves around ferociously, and political debates got downright personal, and world events remained chaotic and un-
settled, things inside my house remain calm and happy. I was gifted with flowers, pumpkin pies, salads, desserts and many, many hugs. And people, in comfortable disorganized order, spilled in and out of kitchen, scraping vegetables, cleaning and doing other endless things that need to happen to bring it all together. And now the only thing left in my kitchen is the leftovers. My kitchen table is small again. The toys are put away. The children have gone home. All is quiet and still. And once again, I am absolutely exhausted, but, oh so grateful for one quick moment in time when we all sat around a table with mismatched plates and chairs and ate way too much and talked and laughed together. Another year has come and gone and the onslaught of winter is probably just hiding under a pile of leaves. But even as seasons change it is wonderful to know that some things remain timeless and forever. Love, hugs, family and friends. Thanksgiving. Truly a season and a reason to be thankful.

Schools warn of ‘virtual kidnapping’ scam targeting parents Schools across the U.S. are warning about a scam to convince parents that their children have been kidnapped — even though they haven’t. Cases of so-called virtual kidnapping have been reported recently in states including Virginia, California and Texas. Authorities say the scam often targets the parents of college students, tricking some into paying thousands of dollars. In the scam, parents receive a call from a stranger who claims to have kidnapped their child, and demands that they wire a ransom. The FBI says the ransom is usually between $600 and $1,300. Georgetown University and several other colleges have issued alerts about the scam.
Egg group inappropriately targeted vegan spread NEW YORK — An egg industry group’s discussions about thwarting the sale of an eggless vegan spread at Whole Foods were inappropriate, a review by the U.S. Department of Agriculture has found. The USDA said it will require training for the American Egg Board and other “checkoff” programs that promote commodities such as beef and pork as a result. The American Egg Board says there were no findings that it violated the law. The investigation underscores the often contentious space occupied by checkoff programs.
Daylight savings time — tips to ‘fall back’ on Nov. 6 REAGAN FORSYTH EAT, SLEEP PLAY Yes, that time of year is fast approaching. Oh, joy! For children who are quite structured with going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning, the time change can cause a ‘sleep debt’ for a little, while which is why it is most noticeable in babies and toddlers. I detest time change more than most, because I see the havoc it can wreak on the lives of families with young children. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to make it a little easier on yourselves (hopefully)! Here are a couple different approaches you can take, to make the transition with your babies or toddlers: Option 1: Ignore it Completely For those with older children or children who really have exceptional sleep habits and schedules already, it can often be better to just go with the ‘new clock’ immediately and have bedtime at 7:30 p.m.
regardless of time change and whether it is spring or the fall. Just dive straight into it. In this case, avoid changing the clocks before you go to bed, and just get up as though it is a regular day and change your clock at some point after everyone is up and go on with life as usual. This isn’t a perfect system either but if there is one, I have never come across it! Option 2: Gradually get them on the new clock. If your child usually goes to bed at 7:30 p.m., make bedtime 7 p.m. on the new clock on the first night following the time change (the Sunday). This will feel like 8:00 p.m. to your child but shouldn’t cause too much upheaval in patterns. For the next couple of nights, make bedtime 7:15 p.m. and then back to 7:30 p.m. Keep in mind that for about a week, they might be waking up earlier. If you have children over the age of two, and can understand consistent explanations, you can use a gro-clock or even a digital clock (cover up the numerals) and explain to them that anything before 7 a.m. is still night and that you will come to get them as soon as it is morning (7 a.m.). Set the clock forward half an hour so that at 6:30, it says 7:00 and let them get up a little earlier than normal knowing that by the end of the week they should be back on track and you can adjust the clock to read the regular time.
If you are dealing with a baby, you can expect that they are going to wake up at ‘their normal time’ for the first few days, until the adjustment period is over. The best thing to do is not rush in as soon as you hear your baby waking up, and to try to wait a little longer for your ‘appropriate/ minimum awake time’ or the time that you normally set as your acceptable morning time. Increase this in increments of 10 or 15 minutes every morning and by the end of the week, they will have adjusted to the new clock and be waking at their usual hour. So, if they normally slept until 6:30 a.m., they may now be waking at 5:30 a.m. (on the new clock), so just try not to respond until 5:45 for the first couple days, then 6 a.m. and just increase your “going to get them in time” every day. By the end of the end of the week, your baby’s schedule should be adjusted to the new time and they will be waking up at their usual hour. It might even take a couple weeks, which is why I find the ‘fall back’ time change a real pain! Children are creatures of habit and we can’t expect them to understand or switch to the new time difference right away. In my experience, it’s not uncommon for it to take four weeks for anyone to truly adjust to changes in sleep, so do be patient. Reagan Forsyth is a local maternity and pediatric sleep coach.
Remove the clutter from your life to make it stronger MURRAY FURHER EXTREME ESTEEM “Everything that is alive requires pruning.” — Dr Henry Cloud, leadership consultant, best-selling author, and speaker “It’s called pruning,” he said. “It’s helping the tree grow stronger.” “It’s a crab apple tree,” I explained. “It won’t grow no prunes.” The tree-man just chuckled and returned to his task. That was the spring after a long, cold and memorable winter. As a kid I felt dwarfed by the five-foot drifts that clogged our driveway, so densely packed that a man could walk across them without falling through. We had to get our dairy milk to market, so Dad hired a grader to plow out the driveway. When the driver turned around in our yard, he accidentally backed over my mother’s ornamental crab, breaking branches and crushing it to the ground. After the snow had melted, Mother asked our local tree man — a neighbour and amateur arborist — to examine the tree and see if it could be salvaged. He was doing his best. “Do you only prune broken down trees like this one?” I asked. “Oh no,” he replied. “Healthy tree requires occasional pruning, too.” I didn’t realize it at the time, but

the care and pruning of trees can teach us a few important lessons about the need for care and pruning in our lives. As I watched the tree man, he explained that pruning is essential to assist the growth and overall health of the tree. I have discovered since that most arborists use a three-stage pruning process. First, they remove the dead or broken branches. Second, they remove any branches that may be growing across each other or may eventually forms forks and split off from the trunk. This is done to allow the heartier, more well-directed branches to grow firmer. It also opens the tree up to more light and growth. Third, they carefully clip and cut away some of the healthy branches to shape and enhance the natural beauty of the tree. The result is an attractive, healthy and vibrant tree. As we work to nurture our self-esteem and to improve and promote our personal growth and awareness, we are using much the same process of pruning as the arborist. First, we need to remove that which is no longer alive and vital in our lives. This could mean removing clutter from our homes and releasing things that we no longer use. It could also mean removing and releasing pain from the past that haunts our dreams and limits our growth. It might mean leaving that dead-end job or saying goodbye to an unhealthy relationship. If we’re willing to be truly honest with ourselves, we’ll likely know intuitively what needs to go. Second, we need to remove the distractions that grow across our paths,

creating unwanted forks in the road that lead us astray. Now that I’ve reached my middle years, I have become acutely aware that time is not unlimited. We have only so much of it here on Earth. As the years pass quickly by, time becomes a precious commodity not to be wasted. If you want to accomplish your dreams, you’ll need to remove the clutter from your life and open yourself up to more light and opportunities for growth. You need to focus your attention on what’s important. Third, we need to do some careful pruning and shaping to create the beautiful life we expect and deserve. At this point, I like to live and work (when I’m at home) in an environment that I consider beautiful, and that means one that is simple, spacious, clean and filled with love. I enjoy entertaining — especially positive people who share my passion and enthusiasm for life. I spend a great deal of time with my family — my children and grandchildren. I have a smaller circle of good friends whom I love dearly and far fewer acquaintances than ever before. There’s a lovely pond behind my house, and I’ve started going for evening walks. I’ve also set up a small work-out station in my basement. For me, less is becoming so much more important. Our tree man worked for the better part of an hour on the tree. To be honest, there wasn’t much left of it when he was finished. When I asked him if it was going to “make it” he just smiled and told me to keep an eye on it.

day, some forty years later, the tree is still healthy and beautiful — though in need of another good pruning. Maybe that is something we need to keep in mind. We shouldn’t wait until we’re crushed and broken to consider doing some pruning. Just as my mother’s ornamental crab requires ongoing care and maintenance in order to thrive and produce fruit, so do we. Only when we begin to care about ourselves will we begin to care for ourselves. The better our self-esteem, the more we begin to acknowledge the need for self-care and start making time to do it. American essayist, lecturer and poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “As the gardener, by severe pruning, forces the sap of the tree into one or two vigorous limbs, so should you stop off your miscellaneous activities and concentrate your force on one or a few points.” If you’re looking to open up your life to more light and growth, you may want to take some advice from your friendly neighbourhood arborist. Pruning can be a little scary at times, is often difficult and you may run the risk of hurting or disappointing a few people, but consider the alternatives: obligations that leave you tired and uninspired, relationships that have run their course, and all the “stuff” that blocks the light and hinders your growth. Murray Fuhrer is a self—esteem expert and facilitator. His recent book is entitled Extreme Esteem: The Four Factors. For more information on self—esteem, check the Extreme Esteem website at www.extremeesteem.ca.

Obituaries DEROSIA We are heartbroken by the sudden passing of Terrance (Terry) Derosia on October 4, 2016. He was predeceased by his parents, Wilfred and Audrey Derosia and his brother, Chris Derosia. He leaves behind his partner in crime and his Queenie, Jacqui and their #1 son, Teddy (their dog), Jacqui’s four children, Becki (Wayne), Brad, Greg (Lindsay) and “his favorite” Aimee (Dan), all of whom he tolerated (loved whole heartedly!) He was Pa Pa Terry to his nine grandchildren; Jacob, Hailee, Boyd, David, Jaxson, Kylee, Nash, Olivia and Wyatt. He also left behind his two sisters, Sharon and Pat and their families, Jacqui’s sisters and his favorite mother-inlaw Peggy who thought he walked on water, as well as many old friends. Terry could most often be found watching any type of sports and sharing his favorite email jokes. We will miss his sarcasm, quirky quotes and long winded stories! We know he is smiling down on us and helping his beloved Blue Jays in their quest to win the World Series. At Terry’s request there will be no service but instead, a casual gathering to pay respects and share stores. In true Terry style, please wear jeans and either a plaid or a sports themed shirt. Please join us for a luncheon upstairs at the Blackfalds Multiplex from 1 - 3, October 15. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — Doctors Without Borders pleaded on Monday for access to treat the wounded in the rebel-held part of Syria’s Aleppo as government forces pressed ahead with an offensive that has killed hundreds of people in recent weeks. The international charity, also known by its French acronym MSF, said in a statement that medical workers in Aleppo are exhausted and that the overstretched facilities face an impending fuel shortage. MSF, which supports eight hospitals in Aleppo’s besieged eastern quarters, says just 35 doctors remain in the area, serving a population of 275,000. Eastern Aleppo’s Health Directorate said the wounded were sleeping outside overcrowded hospitals, waiting for care. The U.N. has warned that the Aleppo bombardment by Syrian and Russian warplanes could leave thousands more dead by the year’s end. “Russia and Syria must stop the indiscriminate bombing now and abide by the rules of war to avoid the extreme suffering of the unprotected civilian population,” said Pablo Marco, MSF’s operations manager for the Middle East. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the conflict through local contacts, reported heavy fighting
along the east-west Aleppo front lines. Another activist-run group, the Local Coordination Committees, said rebels were fighting to repel government forces from the city’s largest water facility, which serves over a million people. In another besieged area near the capital, Damascus, doctors reported up to two dozen cases of kidney failure that they said resulted from malnutrition. Muhammad Darwish, a local physician, said doctors confirmed renal failure in 12 people in the town of Madaya and were investigating another 12 cases. Government forces have laid siege to Madaya, home to some 40,000 people, since late last year. Last winter, MSF reported at least 16 deaths there resulting from malnutrition and lack of medical care. “We are only eating carbohydrates. We aren’t receiving any vitamins or protein,” said Darwish. The government has prohibited the UN from delivering seeds or dialysis kits to the town, in what the opposition says is a strategy aimed at forcing the town to surrender. The UN Security Council is deadlocked over how to respond to the Aleppo crisis, with Russia on Saturday vetoing a French-drafted resolution demanding an immediate halt to Russian and Syrian airstrikes and the rest of the council voting down a Russian resolution calling for the evacuation of opposition fighters.
Three Syrians aid German police in alleged bomb plot BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — A Syrian man wanted for allegedly preparing a bombing attack was apprehended by three of his countrymen, who overpowered him, tied him up in their apartment, and then alerted police, authorities said Monday. The overnight arrest of Jaber Albakr ended a nearly two-day nationwide search for the 22-year-old that German authorities launched after finding several pounds of explosives and components hidden inside an apartment in the eastern city of Chemnitz on Saturday. Albakr arrived in Germany amid a flood of 890,000 asylum seekers last year. Saxony criminal police
chief Joerg Michaelis said that the three Syrians who captured him recognized the suspect from wanted posters police posted online as part of the manhunt. After taking him to their apartment late Sunday night, two of the Syrians bound and held Albakr while the third brought a mobile phone photo of Albakr to a local police station, leading to the arrest early Monday, Michaelis said. Prosecutors and police said Monday that they considered Albakr an extremist with likely links to the Islamic State group. Germany’s domestic intelligence agency had been watching him since September and alerted Saxony authorities about his alleged possible plot on Friday, authorities said.
Ethiopia blames Egypt for terrorists BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Ethiopia’s government on Monday blamed Egypt for supporting outlawed rebels and forcing the declaration of the country’s first state of emergency in a quarter-century as widespread anti-government protests continue. There is “ample evidence” that Egypt provided training and financing to the Oromo Liberation Front, labeled a terrorist organization by Ethiopia, government spokesman Getachew Reda told journalists in
the capital, Addis Ababa. “We know for a fact that the terrorist group OLF is receiving all kinds of support from Egypt.” Egypt last week denied any support for the Ethiopian rebels. The two countries have long been in a dispute over a massive hydroelectric dam that Ethiopia is building on the Nile River, with Egypt saying the project will reduce its share of the river’s flow. The six-month state of emergency declared Sunday will be used to reorganize the security forces to better respond to the anti-government protests.

Second U.S. debate won’t set viewership records BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Viewership for the second debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won’t match the record-setting levels of their first meeting but should instead be on par with the Obama-Romney contests four years ago. An estimated 65.7 million people watched Sunday night’s contentious match between Clinton and Trump on one of eight networks, the Nielsen company said. That wasn’t Nielsen’s final count, but when it comes in, it isn’t likely to increase by more than a million or two. The first debate reached a total of 84 million viewers, more than for any other presidential debate on record. The previous record of 80.6 million had been set for the only debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan in 1980. In 2012, an estimated 65.6 million people watched the second debate between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, after 67.2 million saw their first debate. On Sunday, the two candidates were competing against the NFL’s prime-time contest between the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants, which was seen by 16.6 million people on NBC. A football game aired opposite the first debate, too, but it was on cable’s ESPN and reached only 8 million people. Sunday’s debate, moderated tightly by CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC News’ Martha Raddatz, was dominated early by questions surrounding Trump’s lewd conversation with Billy Bush in a recently resurfaced Access Hollywood outtake. In another clip getting wide airplay on Monday, Trump tells Clinton that “you’d be in jail” if he were elected. Raddatz on Monday said she could feel the tension in the room from the start. “When they came together at the beginning and didn’t shake hands, you knew you were in for a long evening,” she said on Good Morning America on Monday. The candidates shook hands at the end, following a disarming question from an audience member, who asked each candidate if they could think of one
Vice debuts its nightly newscast on HBO NEW YORK — Vice Media seeks to get a young generation into the habit of watching a nightly newscast with the debut of Vice News Tonight on HBO Monday. In the works for months, the premiere of Vice News Tonight was pushed back for three weeks to make sure all of its technology worked properly. The pay cable service is airing it at 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS have aired nightly newscasts for decades, and their audiences skew old. Vice promises to try new approaches: the show doesn’t have a regular news anchor, and will work under the assumption that viewers have seen the day’s headlines and are looking for something different. Issues that Vice News Tonight promised to focus on include politics and government policy, the climate, technology, economics, civil rights, national security and culture. Among the stories planned this week are a look at the second presidential debate through the eyes of conservative commentator Glenn Beck, and an interview with former House Speaker John Boehner conducted by Vice founder Shane Smith. Potential viewers will be able to access the newscast on demand and through the streaming services HBO Go and HBO Now.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during the second presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis. thing positive to say about the other. Raddatz and Cooper received generally good reviews for their sharp questioning and attempts to keep the candidates in line. Trump complained at times about not being treated fairly. At one point, when Trump objected to the Obama administration signalling in advance about an attack on ISIS positions in Iraq, Raddatz interjected with possible reasons for this tactic, including warning civilians to get out of harm’s way.
On Monday, Donald Trump Jr. retweeted this message: “Was Martha Raddatz the worst moderator of all time? All signs point to YES.” With 16.5 million viewers, CBS led all networks in audience. Sunday is traditionally a strong night for CBS, and the network benefited from NBC’s withdrawal from the political competition. CNN had 11.2 million viewers and Fox News Channel had 9.9 million, essentially flip-flopping their positions from the first debate.
13 American Music Awards nominations on Monday thanks to his latest album, Views, shattering Michael’s Jackson’s mark of 11 nominations in a single year from 1984 when the King of Pop had Thriller. Rihanna got seven nominations and Adele and Justin Bieber tied with five each. Beyonce and The Chainsmokers each received four nominations. Bryson Tiller, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood, Fetty Wap and The Weeknd earned three nominations each. Nominees for artist of the year are Adele, Beyonce, Bieber, Drake, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood and The Weeknd. The 10 nominees will be cut in half by Nov. 14 based on fan votes. Voting on artist of the year will close Nov. 17. Nominees for the title of new artist of the year are Alessia Cara, The Chainsmokers, DNCE, Shawn Mendes and Zayn. There is no overall song of the year category this year instead honours will be handed out for best song in the categories of pop/rock, country, rap/hip-hop and soul/R&B. Nominations are based on a metric that includes sales, airplay and social activity tracked by Billboard magazine and its partners. Winners are determined by fan votes on the show’s website or through Facebook and Twitter. Last year, One Direction won artist of the year honours, Taylor Swift’s Blank Space was crowned
song of the year and Sam Hunt was named best new artist. The awards show will air live Nov. 20 from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on ABC.
Underwood, Paisley, Bentley, Urban to perform at CMA Awards NASHVILLE — Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Maren Morris and Keith Urban, as well as hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, will perform at the 50th annual Country Music Association Awards show, the CMA announced Monday. The Nov. 2 show will air live from Nashville on ABC. Church and Morris have five nominations apiece, and both are vying for single and song of the year. Bentley has four nominations, including album of the year and male vocalist. Underwood has four nominations, including her first-ever nomination for entertainer of the year. Urban also has four nominations, including entertainer of the year and album of the year.
O’Dell: even the locker room is no excuse for Trump LOS ANGELES — Entertainment Tonight host Nancy O’Dell says women shouldn’t be objectified, even in the locker room. In remarks to air Monday on the entertainment news show, O’Dell addressed crude comments made about her by GOP presidential contender Donald Trump on video in 2005. O’Dell said the mention of her name threw her unwillingly into the middle of the political arena. Then, referring to a statement she issued Saturday, O’Dell repeated that “there is no room for objectification of women” or anyone. She added, “not even in the locker room.” Trump has apologized for the crude remarks, which included talk of groping women and his assertion that he tried and failed to sleep with a married woman he identified as “Nancy.” Access Hollywood has identified O’Dell as the woman Trump referred to.

Cutting ties because of a problematic wife ed me to baby-sit and spend a lot of time with them. I have tried to contact the kids, but my brother says to not contact them. He has cut ties with everyone in our family, including his other siblings. My mother had serious health issues, and he does not allow his kids to see her. I think that his wife has mental health issues and that it is calmer when he does not have to deal with family. Any suggestions on keeping their children in our lives, or do we wait until they are older? — Hurting Aunt Dear Hurting: If your sister-in-law’s concern really were that you didn’t spend enough time with her children, then why would she ban you from their lives? It sounds as if she indeed has severe anger or anxiety issues and would settle on anything to resent; for now, that’s you and your relationship with her children, but if it weren’t that, it would be something else. It’s disappointing that your brother has allowed his wife’s mental illness to dictate their entire lives. He’s in deep.
ANNIE LANE Dear Annie: Sadly, my brother isn’t speaking to me. He is married with two children, 17 and 15. I have been part of their life, although it has been difficult. His wife is from a different country. Her family is all back there. She sabotages all efforts I make to see her children and has told me that my children and I are dead to her. They didn’t come to my daughter’s wedding and did not allow the children to come. We have never done anything to upset them; however, I have been told I am not a good sister-in-law because I didn’t live up to what she felt I should do. I worked full time, went to school and raised my girls while her children were young. She said she expect-
Ontario Amish find home in P.E.I. MONTAGUE, P.E.I. — There’s a sudden population boom in eastern P.E.I., and the local hardware store has been buzzing. Home Hardware owner Mark Beck says they’ve been busy supplying new customers with lumber, hardware, and paint. They’ve even started stocking a specific model of straw hat. His new clients, he says, are very particular about their straw hats. About 14 pioneer Amish families from southwestern Ontario have bought farms here this year, lured by low land prices, and settled in the communities of Dundas and Summerville. Many more families are expected. “Being rural P.E.I., any time there’s new business, it’s a boom,” Beck said from his perch on Main Street. A horse-drawn wagon soon passes by, heading into downtown. Onboard are two young Amish men, each dressed in light blue shirts, dark blue pants with suspenders, and straw hats. One sports a bushy beard. “We see the buggies in the town every week and it’s kind of exciting,” says Beck. “It’s new, it’s change, and it’s nice to see the old farms getting worked.”
JOANNE MADELINE MOORE HOROSCOPE Tuesday, Oct. 11 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Dawn French, 59; Luke Perry, 50; Joan Cusack, 54 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: If you think before you speak, it will be a day full of positive partnerships and fabulous friendships. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You possess a natural charm that draws others to you. But the more unsettled you are, the more unpredictable the coming year will be. So choose a steady course and stick to it. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Have you been feeling stuck in a bit of a Ram rut? The current planetary patterns encourage you to stretch beyond your usual boundaries, and reach for the stars. Adventure awaits! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): With Venus visiting your partnership zone, it will be easier to sort out relationship problems than at other times. Especially if you articulate your feelings, and are prepared to compromise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When it comes to communication, you’ve certainly got the gift of the gab. But be careful you don’t blurt out comments that you later regret. Mental activity is high so strive to be a creative Twin. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s a delicate balancing act at the moment between work demands, family responsibilities and the needs of your partner. If you are looking for love, be proactive and cast your net wide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Mercury and Jupiter join up in your neighbourhood zone.

Austrian mocks country’s impasse with spin on national flag
that men can ignore you and can’t be interrupted, whereas good ol’ Mommy is apparently always available to be interrupted. Further, why would you advise her to be happy that her husband spends 30 to 60 minutes a day with his children? That isn’t parenting. Emotional connections are difficult and hard work. He cannot be a good father until he learns patience and how to listen well. He needs boundaries. He needs to tell his kids and wife when he is working, and he needs to tell them that he will make time for them during which he will not answer work calls. If he is not willing to do that, he is not willing to parent or be a spouse and he is a negative influence for the whole family. — Lisa N.

dropped. Voglreiter isn’t worried about facing new charges. He says there are enough differences between the state symbol and his eagles for a credible defence. One of his birds even smokes a cigar.
Neighbours sue to block home modeled on stadium
VIENNA — From a distance, the fierce-looking eagles on the banners Austrian builder Markus Voglreiter is flying in the town of Obertrum may look similar to the bird on his country’s national flag. But the bananas his eagles are clutching were enough of a departure to get Voglreiter charged with “vilification of symbols of the republic.” Voglreiter had the satirical banners made because he thinks Austria’s repeatedly failed or postponed attempts to elect a president make the country look like a banana republic. He was ordered to take them down, but raised them again after the vilification charges were
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Fitting tribute to Iowa football or Hawk-eyesore? That’s what a judge must decide. Angry neighbors have filed a lawsuit against the Iowa City Board of Adjustment for allowing a couple to proceed with their plan to build a 7,500-squarefoot home that will resemble the University of Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium. Cedar Rapids television station KCRG reports that the lawsuit filed Wednesday by the Neighbors of Manville Heights Association requests an injunction to block construction of the home and for the repeal of the city’s building permit allowing it. The house Reed and Sandy Carlson plan to build would look like the Hawkeyes’ 87-year-old stadium, complete with brick siding and a replica of the press box.
Virgo confidence. But don’t spoil success by being unusually impulsive. Take the time to think things through. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re often inclined to buy expensive things you really don’t need. Hopefully today - with the help of practical Saturn — you’ll tune into your sensible Libran side and keep your wallet closed. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mystery abounds today, but make sure you can differentiate fact from fantasy. Creative communication will take you far, as you tap into your imagination and experiment with new ideas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your mind is firing on all cylinders today, so keep it entertained in interesting and inspiring ways. But don’t allow someone to talk you into buying something that you really don’t need.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll feel restless at work so try to do things outside your usual routine. The more innovative and adventurous you are, the better the day will be. But your home life remains unpredictable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Education and international connections are favoured. But are you feeling a tad restless Aquarius? Mercury and Jupiter encourage you to plan an adventurous getaway for some time soon. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Group activities will be powerful and positive today, as Mars boosts your spirits and your energy levels. Attached Pisceans — be patient with your partner. Singles — love and travel are linked. Joanne Madeline Moore is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist. Her column appears daily in the Advocate.

DEAR ANNIE
Your niece and nephew are probably aware that their grandmother isn’t well, because people that high-strung fill whole households with tension. It would be good for the children to have healthier family members in their lives, and you should make an effort to give them that. But wait until they are 18. If you reached out to them now, it would only make your brother and his wife angry, and your niece and nephew are stuck living with that stress. Dear Annie: As the Northern English say, you got the “wrong end of the stick” on your advice to “Crackberry Wife,” whose husband is constantly on his phone working. I lived a crackberry life before I had children, and I was able to learn how to let go of my addiction to work and actually be present for the child I chose to have. Mr. Crackberry can make the same choice, and he is choosing not to, as his wife enables him. Your advice that he is offering a strong work model to the kids is completely wrong. He is teaching his kids
