T

welve public protests across Alberta today — including in Red Deer — are intended to stop the

provincial carbon tax in its tracks before it takes effect on Jan. 1. But if opponents are successful at convincing the NDP government from backing down, it may only delay what’s coming anyways. In 2018, the federal gov-

ernment will impose its own carbon tax to help reduce greenhouse gases, and therefore the impact of climate change, wherever provinces haven’t yet imposed one. Shelley Leinweber, one of the local organizers of the rally in Red Deer, said while

the focus is on stopping the carbon tax, there are other issues of concern, including the economy, school curriculum changes, and threats to the family farm and energy sector. See CARBON on page 3

CARBON: Dialogue needed at grassroots She said the event outside City Hall at 11 a.m. is non-partisan, and a number of “ordinary Albertans” will speak. She declined to name them in advance as she said she was concerned they may be harassed before the event. The rally is to bring awareness to everyone on how detrimental the tax will be, she said. “I don’t accept the Shelley argument that CO2 is Leinweber the cause for greenhouse gases, that is related to man-made climate change. I accept that we have four seasons and that’s the climate change that we have and the climate has been changing since the beginning of the planet.” Evan Bedford is a local environmentalist and blogger who has written about climate change for years. “The big problem is not climate change, and the big problem is not the carbon tax. The big problem is that people don’t know how to talk to each other about climate change and about carbon tax without raising their voices and losing sight of trying to come to some consensus.” He supports the tax because of it’s simplicity to institute. “We’ve all got to pull together and Alberta is part of the global community.” The idea is that taxing fossil fuels such as gasoline will result in people using them less. But to get everybody to buy-in in the province of Alberta, the dialogue needs to Evan be at the grassroots Bedford level, he said, adding he sees that happening by “deliberative democracy” where small groups of people sit across the table and talk to each other about the issue. B.C. has had a carbon tax on fossil fuels since 2008. At $30 per tonne, it translates into about seven cents per litre on gasoline. The Alberta government has approved a carbon tax of $20 per tonne of green house gas emissions, which will result in a 4.49 cents per litre tax on gasoline. When the levy goes to $30 per tonne in 2018, it will add an additional 2.24 cents per litre. The carbon tax applies to other fuels such as diesel and propane. The province says the money raised will go into energy-saving projects and help diversify Alberta’s energy industry. Tax rebates will be available, depending on income, to singles, couples and families. Marked fuels used in agriculture are exempt from the carbon tax. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Trans-Canada Highway reopens near B.C.-Alberta boundary FIELD, B.C. — A section of the Trans-Canada Highway has reopened, more than a week after a rock slide closed the interprovincial route.

The slide occurred west of Field, B.C., on Oct. 24 as crews did scaling work in the area to remove rocks. Parks Canada says that two workers were hurt when 10,000 cubic metres of rocks and debris fell. The slide closed the highway in both directions until Thursday, when traffic was allowed to resume. Parks Canada says motorists going through the area should expect a reduced speed zone and occasional delays.

Kennedy joins celebrity dance off BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

S

ure, he’s skated around opponents in the hockey rink — but can he pasodoble past the competition on the dance floor? That will be the big question when Sheldon Kennedy takes the stage in the next Red Deer’s Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off. The fundraising ballroom dancing competition will kick off at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 7, at the Sheraton Hotel in Red Deer. The goal is to raise money for two important causes: The Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre, and a new Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre, which will be a multi-agency hub that helps abused children in the Red Deer area. Christine Moore, co-chair of the 2017 event, is thrilled to have Kennedy on board as a celebrity dancer. He will lead a roster of seven other familiar faces, to be revealed Sunday. Kennedy won a Memorial Cup, World Junior Gold Medal and skated for three teams in his eight-year NHL career. He made news headlines when

the sexual abuse he suffered over five years as a teenager under his care. Kennedy has since become an advocate for children. He’s the lead director at the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre in Calgary. It’s the first-of-its-kind agency in Canada to

offer complete services for victims of child abuse, bringing together police, justice, medical and therapy experts under one roof, so children don’t have to repeat their stories multiple times. The Calgary centre will be the model for the new Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre that will also integrate care, so there are no gaps in local services for children in this region. The Central Alberta Sex Assault Centre, which is growing out of its existing facility, will be one of the key agencies at the new child advocacy centre. Both centres will need a new space to operate, said Moore, who predicts 2017 will be a “banner year” for the Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off. She believes the fun event has evolved into a real community builder that brings together professional dancers, local leaders, businesses and many talented volunteers. Over the past five years, the event raised $1.35 million for worthy causes. “We are grateful to our faithful sponsors and we look forward to forming new relationships,” said Moore. Tickets for the April dance off will be available starting Jan. 23. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Police expect to roll out new dispatch system on Nov. 15 BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

L

acombe Police Service expects to roll out a new dispatch system designed to speed up response times on Nov. 15. Barring any last-minute snags, in mid-November 911 calls will be passed directly from the 911 centre to Lacombe police without first going through the RCMP’s communication centre in Red Deer. “We’re still installing equipment and doing testing of equipment,” said acting Police Chief Lorne Blumhagen. “We are currently in our training phase, getting our folks trained on the various systems.” Taking over dispatch is expected to remedy poor police response times, a top complaint of local residents. It wasn’t unusual for a 15-minute lag time between a call to police and officers arriving on scene. Average

response time was 13:24 minutes. Moving dispatch services in-house is expected to chop response times to an average of 6:45 minutes. There is not expected to be any disruption to service during the switch-over and Blumhagen is confident the system will be ready to go as planned. Some other internal changes will also be made at the police department to accommodate dispatch. Earlier this year, city council approved spending nearly $295,000 for a computer-aided dispatch system and a new first responders radio system. As part of that, police portable and mobile radios will be upgraded to mesh with the Alberta First Responders Communications System. The city also anticipates some cost savings. Staffing and running the service is expected to save the city about $118,000 a year. pcowley@redderadvocate.com

Get your Smile Back! PRETATAU ® IMPLANT BRIDGE

ALL-ON-4

Prettau® Implant Bridge can be used to restore two or more missing natural teeth. Unlike the All-On-4®, it is fabricated without the use of acrylic and denture teeth. The Prettau® is fabricated from 100% Zirconia. Zirconia has a high translucency and its absolutely metal-free, with excellent biocompatibility. The Prettau® Bridge has excellent longevity, it is considered a life-time solution. It is stain resistant, and will not chip or crack like some acrylic products. Prettau® Bridges are in comparison to natural function and aesthetics. Prettau® Bridge needs five or more implants. At times dentures can be unstable, cause sores, and make chewing foods difficult. If you experience this, the Prettau® Bridge may be your solution.

ARE YOUR DENTURES: • Loose? • Have Food under them? • Cracked or Broken? • Making your gums sore? • Constantly in your pockets? WE REFER ALL IMPLANT PLACEMENTS TO A RECOMMENDED DENTIST*

®

The All-ON-4® treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with a full dental bridge supported by only four dental implants which could be completed in one day. All-On-4®, like natural teeth, allows patients to function to near natural capacity. At times painful, inconvenient and unstable dentures can make chewing foods difficult. Loss of bone from dentures can lead to changes in facial features and premature aging.

Servus Credit Union offers small loans BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

M

www.reddeeradvocate.com

ore people can avoid costly payday loans in Red Deer with the introduction of a new loan program at Servus Credit Union. With Fast Forward Small Loans, Servus members can get $200 to $2,500 at 19 per cent interest in under an hour when they make an appointment, with no fees, flexible payment options and two months to two years to pay it back. The program is for people who are employed with a credit score of over 600. Those with less will be considered, but it will take longer to approve. Nazim Manji, branch manager with Servus Credit Union in Clearview Ridge, said Fast Forward was introduced Oct. 1 after the province identified the need for less expensive lending solutions. “We’ve had 300 applications to date throughout the whole Servus company and we’ve approved 90 per cent just on the one-hour program,” Manji said at an event hosted by Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance on Thursday looking at alternatives to predatory payday lending. Red Deer City Coun. Ken Johnston said annualized costs of payday loans are close to 300 per cent so 19 per cent at Servus is vastly superior and a huge positive. “We have a mainstream lender

that is now involved in the business, that’s now taken a front and centre position for a market that basically was under-banked or unable to be banked by the mainstream,” Johnston said. Provincial legislation recently reduced payday borrowing fees from $23 to $15 per $100 loaned, along with other changes. Manji said seven people have already applied for Fast Forward loans at his branch and they appreciate dealing with a financial institution that will work with them to build emergencies funds to break free of the payday rut. “It’s not just about getting over this one little hiccup and hopefully you’ll be on your feet next month. We know that doesn’t that happen because the bills don’t stop. The bills continue,” Manji said. Johnston said seniors who have a fixed income and don’t work are a group that would benefit from easier access to loans. “There are plenty of seniors that are asset rich, cash poor. Seniors were the fastest growing market for payday lenders in this country in the last 10 years. That tells you they’re under-banked and under-serviced,” Johnston said. A Servus official said retired seniors would not automatically be disqualified for Fast Forward loans. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Dreeshen a vocal opponent of Bill C-26 BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

R

ed Deer-Mountain View MP Earl Dreeshen spoke out against proposed Canadian Pension Plan reform on Friday saying it would fail to benefit seniors needing help today. Bill C-26 would gradually increase mandatory contributions to the public plan as Earl a way to boost the program’s benefits for Dreeshen future generations of retirees. “It’s going to take 40 years to be fully implemented so there are going to be no benefits for seniors needed today. There are certainly other things that can be done and should be done that are higher priority,” Dreeshen said from Ottawa after speaking on the bill in the House of Commons on Friday. He said government should instead increase the guaranteed income supplement and reduce taxes. They should increase allowable annual contributions to tax-free savings accounts rather than what they did which was roll back the maximum amount to $5,500 from $10,000. “(Liberals) said only the rich can be involved. That’s not what the statistics said. It was small business people, it was seniors that were taking dollars and putting them into these programs. It was young people that were doing it.” Bill C-26 would increase the benefits retirees receive, increase

how much income is eligible for CPP coverage and raise monthly premiums for employees and employers. The average employee would pay an additional $7 a month in 2019, increasing to $34 a month by 2023. Benefit payments of almost $17,000 a year, up from about $13,000 now, would be available for those who contributed to the enhanced plan for about 40 years. Dreeshen said increasing the premiums will hurt the economy by reducing employment, business investment, the GDP and disposable incomes. CPP was never intended to be a retirement plan, he added. “It was just something to augment things. We’ve got old age security that is there to help. We’ve got guaranteed investment plans. “What we need to do is to find ways of encouraging people to understand how to maximize dollars they are trying to save on their own. If there is a problem for that three or four per cent of seniors that are actually below the poverty line, let’s make sure we’ve got an economy that’s running to do better things for them.” — With files from The Canadian Press

High school launches Bee-Wise program BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF

L

acombe Composite High School’s EcoVision club latest project is causing a buzz. The “Bee-Wise” project officially began last week Students in the EcoVision club and LCHS agriculture classes will study honeybees. As part of the project, the EcoVision club will place two small honeybee hives in the school garden. The project was officially launched on at the Harvest Celebration in Lacombe on Friday. “We’re going to be one of the first high schools in Alberta to have a bee program,” said Steven Schultz, supervising teacher at LCHS. “It’s not just a bee program, it extends into the community as well and has educational benefits. We’re going to be training students to be beekeepers through the Green Certificate Program.” The Green Certificate Program is an industry-driven agricultural training program.

Grade 10 students Laine Unger and Naomi Delisle are members of the EcoVision club and are working on earning the certificate. “I’ve always been aware of the environment, and I’ve read things on bees that have opened my eyes. I really want to help them, and this is my part in that. I want to get this certificate so I can work with bees,” said Unger. Delisle, who suffers from anxiety and depression, dropped out in Grade 9, but said the EcoVision club has inspired her to become more involved in agriculture. “I’m excited to learn how to take care of (the bees), she said. “They are becoming extinct so it’s really important to bring them back. My father lives on a farm so I might be getting some bee hives to take care of by myself.” The EcoVision club inspires students to become ecological leaders through recycling, composting, installing a solar system, and running a greenhouse. jonathan.guignard@reddeeradvocate.com

Salvation Army needs foot soldiers for Christmas Kettle Campaign BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF

T

he Red Deer Salvation Army needs the public’s help for its most important fundraiser of the year. The organization is looking for volunteers for the annual Christmas Kettle Campaign, which starts Nov. 17 and ends Dec. 23. Donation kettles will be set in various locations around the city including the Bower Place Shopping Centre, both Red Deer Walmart locations, and the Real Canadian Superstore. The campaign requires volunteers to cover four two-hour shifts between 11:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. at 11 different locations, Monday through Saturday. “We have people who aren’t able to volunteer this year who have helped in the past. Sometimes it’s health issues or sometimes people have moved away so we always have to keep replenishing volunteers.” said Major Larry Bridger, Corps Officer at Salvation Army in Red Deer. “If anybody would like to give a couple of hours of their time it would be greatly appreciated.” The goal of the campaign is to raise

$220,000. “The funds raised support community service programs like the food bank we operate out of our building, our seniors’ lunch program that we do every Friday and our kids feeding program. Right now we are sitting at almost 200 kids that we feed every weekend,” said Bridger. The Red Deer Salvation Army set a goal of $210,00 last year, and surpassed its goal by raising close to $234,000. Bridger said he expects the community to come through again. “Red Deer has supported the Salvation Army tremendously. We always get great financial support from the city which enables us to not just continue our existing services, but it also helps us start new ones,” said Bridger. “The people of Red Deer and the surrounding area have been absolutely phenomenal in their support.” The campaign kickoff takes place at the Bower Place Shopping Centre on Nov. 17 starting at 12 p.m. To volunteer, or for more information on the locations of the donation kettles, call Salvation Army at 403-346-2251 or email them at kettles9@telus.net. jonathan.guignard@reddeeradvocate.com

Lacombe murder investigation ongoing Lacombe police hope to have key forensic work completed soon in an 11-month homicide investigation. “We’re still awaiting some evidentiary pieces back from some special forensic units,” said Lacombe acting Police Chief Lorne Blumhagen on Friday. “We still have a few more pieces to collect and then we’ll review it again and hopefully will have some answers, I would hope, by the end of the year. “Once we receive that then we will be in consultation with the Crown on any further consideration of charges.” Blumhagen said RCMP’s Forensic Science and Identification Services and Calgary police have assisted in the investigation into the death of 26-year-old Brent John Forgie. The Leduc man died at the scene of a violent house brawl in Lacombe around midnight on Dec. 9, 2015. Another man was seriously injured with stab wounds. Calgary’s Jesse Vankroonenburgh, 24, is going to trial on charges of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon (knife) and two counts of failing to obey court orders. A trial date has not yet been set. Police are not releasing much information on the Forgie homicide,

Commercial development in Red Deer has provided a ray of sunshine amid the economic overcast. The number of commercial buildings permits issued by the City of Red Deer nearly doubled last month to 27 from 14 in October 2015, The value of those permits nearly tripled to $3.6 million last month from $1.3 million a year ago. Over the first 10 months of the year, 163 commercial permits were issued worth $55.9 million, compared with 146 worth $28.5 million last year. October commercial numbers were bolstered with a $1.9 million permit for an addition to the Covenant Health Villa Marie on Carrington Drive. Also helping was a $279,000 permit for a new Elephant and Castle Pub and Restaurant in the new commercial area being developed in Timberlands, a $240,000 permit for First Red Deer Place improvements, and $195,000 for a Domino’s Pizza in Lancaster. Residential construction remains well behind last year’s numbers with 52 permits worth about $3.4 million issued last month, compared with 98 permits worth $5.3 million in October 2015. Through the first 10 months of the year, 681 residential permits have been issued worth $37 million, com-

Home-school agency closed by province can operate, but no cash: judge GRANDE PRAIRIE — A judge says an Alberta private school and home-schooling agency that was shut down by the province over allegations of misspending can continue operating temporarily, but without government money. The decision that affects about 3,500 home-schooled students came after a Court of Queen’s Bench hearing in Grande Prairie. Trinity Christian School Association and the Wisdom Home Schooling Society want a judge to reverse a move by the NDP government last month that pulled their funding and accreditation. Justice E.J. Simpson said his decision Friday will protect both students and taxpayers pending the outcome of a hearing set for Jan. 5.

Crown withdraws sex crime charges against highranking military officer EDMONTON — Sex crime charges against a high-ranking military officer have been dropped by the Alberta Crown. Lt.-Col. Mason Stalker was charged last year with offences including sexual assault and sexual exploitation. “The charges have indeed been withdrawn in the J.M. Stalker case as the Crown concluded that there was no longer a reasonable likelihood of securing a conviction,” an Alberta Justice spokeswoman wrote in an email Friday. After he was charged Stalker was removed from command of the Edmonton-based 1st Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, and reassigned to a staff officer job pending the outcome of the case.

Judge reserves decision over legal costs in Arthur Kent ‘dud’ Scud defamation CALGARY — An Alberta judge has reserved her decision over who should pay legal costs in a successful defamation lawsuit by former journalist Arthur Kent against Canada’s largest newspaper chain. The long and bitter litigation began in 2008 after a negative newspaper article was written about the one-time TV correspondent while

Saturday, November 5, 2016 he was running for political office. Kent won the lawsuit earlier this year against Postmedia and one of its columnists. Kent, who got the nickname “Scud Stud” while reporting for NBC during the Persian Gulf war, was awarded $200,000 in damages for an unflattering piece written by Don Martin. He received an additional $61,000 in interest. Martin portrayed Kent as an outof-control egomaniac who was a “dud” on the election trail. Kent has asked Justice Jo’Anne Strekaf for $1.2 million in legal costs for his eight years in court. Postmedia lawyer Brent Mescall, in arguing against awarding any costs to Kent, said those involved should foot their own legal bills.

Woman pleads guilty in stabbing death of her mother LETHBRIDGE — A southern Alberta woman has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in the killing of her mother during a dispute over alcohol and cigarettes. Jessica Praill was charged in April with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of 54-year-old Shelley Praill. But Praill pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a Lethbridge courtroom yesterday and was sentenced to eight years in prison. Court heard that the women were arguing when Praill grabbed a knife and stabbed her mother once in the heart. She died during surgery in hospital. Praill’s sister told court that the mother was emotionally and physically abusive when her daughters were younger, but Praill’s lawyer said her client doesn’t expect sympathy.

Energy producers get 129 wells approved under new Alberta royalty framework CALGARY — Alberta Energy says it has already approved applications for 129 new wells under its new royalty regime for oil and gas producers. The NDP government’s framework officially kicks in Jan. 1, but it announced in July that companies would be allowed to make early applications under the regime for new wells. Energy Minister Marg McCuaig-Boyd says each new wells supports about 135 direct and indirect jobs and represents about $4.5 million in spending, adding more applications are coming in. On Monday, the University of Calgary School of Public Policy released a report that concluded the new royalty system will bring the marginal effective tax and royalty rate for conventional oil projects in Alberta down from 35 per cent to 26.7 per cent.

Juror dismissed in python deaths trial BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

C

AMPBELLTON, N.B. — A juror was dismissed Friday from the criminal negligence trial in the deaths of two young New Brunswick brothers killed by an escaped python. The trial in Campbellton, N.B., was to hear from the Crown’s final witness in the case against Jean-Claude Savoie Friday, but the courtroom remained closed while lawyers and the judge met behind closed doors. When public proceedings finally resumed at noon, Judge Fred Ferguson announced that a juror had been removed. “Juror number 335, after a lengthy hearing, has been relieved of her duties to continue as a member of this jury, and on the recommendation of counsel and the order of the court, juror number 335 was discharged late

this morning,” he told the court. No reasons were given for the change, which leaves seven women and four men to hear the case. The judge said the details of the closed hearing will remain sealed until the jury begins deliberations. “We’re going to soldier on,” Ferguson said. The lawyers then entered two admission of facts, which is often done in trials to help reduce the number of witnesses and the length of a trial. The ventilation pipe has been a focus of testimony during the trial. Witnesses said the snake had tried to escape through it previously, and that the cover for the ventilation duct had been spotted on the floor of the python’s enclosure. One witness said the diameter of the hole appeared too small for the diameter of the python, but one expert testified the snake was able to constrict its size.

Security reviews due after B.C. school stabbing BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

V

ICTORIA — Security is being reviewed at British Columbia’s schools following the stabbing death of a 13-year-old girl, but metal detectors, security guards and airport-style scanners are not needed to protect students, education and security experts say. “In a moment when I hear a lot of people panicking, I say this is a very rare case,” said Theresa Campbell, a threat assessment expert who works with B.C. school districts on security and anti-bullying issues. Gabriel Klein, a 21-year-old homeless man, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of the Grade 9 student and aggravated assault in the attack on another student, a 14-year-old girl. Police and school district officials said a barefoot man walked into Abbotsford Senior Secondary School on Tuesday and attacked the girls before staff confronted and restrained him. Campbell said in an interview that random attacks — where the accused has no known attachment to the vic-

tims or the building — are rare. “Most of the incidents you hear about in schools and school shootings and other incidents there has been what we call psychological fusion to the site or target,” she said. “That does not exist here thus far.” Police and school administrators have said there was no apparent connection between the two girls and the accused. Campbell’s organization, Safer Schools Together, focuses on promoting a culture of safety at schools. She said she runs threat assessment training workshops for school districts and law enforcement agencies across Canada and the United States that help officials identify and stop potential violent incidents before they occur. “We will review this incident and if we need to address changes because we learned more about this individual and we didn’t have some things in place that would have made a difference, you are going to see B.C. make those changes,” Campbell said. Education Minister Mike Bernier said in a statement that the government is awaiting the results of the police investigation before deciding if changes need to be made.

Former Harper aide fined $50,000 for illegal lobbying BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

An excavator demolishes The Ruby cafe and the gas station, both sets of the ‘Corner Gas’ TV show in Rouleau, Sask., on Friday. The gas station and The Ruby cafe are at the epicentre of the fictional town of Dog River, featured in the popular ‘Corner Gas’ TV series and movie.

Pumps have run dry at TV’s Corner Gas BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

R

OULEAU, Sask. — It’s been years since the cameras have rolled at Corner Gas. Years since Brent cracked wise with Hank from behind the store counter. Years since Emma gave Oscar what for over a bottomless cup of coffee at the Ruby. And in those years, the Saskatchewan Prairie has slowly been reclaiming the television show’s set. The walls had grown mouldy, the rodents had moved in, and the building was sinking into the ground at a rate of more than two centimetres a

year. On Friday, heavy machinery moved in and reduced the old gas station to rubble. Producers said goodbye to the central backdrop for one of the most successful Canadian sitcoms of all time and a Saskatchewan town said goodbye to a landmark that went a long way to putting it on the map. “It was hard,” said Virginia Thompson, executive producer of the show that ran for six seasons and 107 episodes ending in 2009. “That building — we have had so much laughter in that building, and I think we have given so much laughter to the country out of that building.”

TTAWA — An Ontario Court judge has imposed $50,000 in fines on Bruce Carson, a former Stephen Harper confidant convicted of illegal lobbying. Although Carson’s lawyer, Patrick McCann, argued that his client was on the verge of bankruptcy and unable to pay, Ontario Court Justice Catherine Kehoe said Carson remains employable, calling the fine a necessary deterrent to others. The Crown had asked for a $50,000 penalty. Carson was found guilty in September on three counts under the Lobbying Act over work he did on a national energy strategy while director of the Canada School of Energy and Environment and later as the vice-chair of the Energy Policy Institute of Canada. The judge determined he had contact with ministers and deputy ministers at Industry Canada and Environment Canada, as well as the Prime Minister’s Office and the Privy Council Office, while he was employed at the institute even though he was under a five-year prohibition from lobbying public office holders because he had worked in the PMO until February 2009. The court was told that, between 2009 and 2011, Carson was paid about $600,000 for his lobbying work. There have only been two previous convictions under the Lobbying Act, which resulted in fines of $7,500 and $20,000, Crown prosecutor Robert Zsigo told the judge. In her sentencing ruling, Kehoe said the gravity of the offence could not be more serious and that Carson had decided to simply ignore the prohibitions against lobbying. “It is necessary to impose a significant fine to deter Mr. Carson and others who would engage in lobbying and ignore the law, which goes to the heart of the integrity of government and public trust of government,” she wrote.

SURVEILLANCE

Security review to examine CSIS powers in the digital age BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

O

TTAWA — A federal review of national security will consider whether Canada’s spy service should be able to sift through the kind of personal data it kept illegally for years, says Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale. Goodale said Friday the notion that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service should avoid stashing away information about innocent people is a “fundamental principle of Canadian privacy.” But the minister appeared to leave the door open to one day giving CSIS the legal authority to keep and analyze electronic data about individuals who do not pose a security threat. He indicated the federal security review already under way would be a good forum to explore the matter. “I want to hear the professional advice on both sides,” Goodale said. “I’m not pre-empting the consultation.” A Federal Court judge says CSIS violated the law over a 10-year period by keeping potentially revealing electronic data about people who were not targets of investigation. In a pointed ruling made public Thursday, Justice Simon Noel said CSIS breached its duty to inform the

TIMELINE OTTAWA — A timeline of events in the case of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s illegal data analysis: 2005: A CSIS task force recommends the spy service retain all data collected from investigations and warrants in order to exploit that information in ongoing and future investigations through a technological program. April 2006: CSIS sets up the Operational Data Analysis Centre (ODAC), a powerful program that processes metadata — the data trails associated with calls and messages, but not the actual content — to glean otherwise unknowable insights. 2008: The CSIS annual public report for 2007-08 says the ODAC provides “support to the service’s operational branches by performing advanced analysis of data that is collected on subjects of investigation.” December 2011: Counsel for CSIS make an indirect allusion to the program, but do not name or describe it, during a Federal Court proceeding. January 2016: Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale tables

court of its data-collection program, since the information was gathered using judicial warrants. CSIS processed the data beginning in 2006 using a powerful program known as the Operational Data Analysis Centre to produce intelligence that can reveal specific, intimate details about people, the judge said. The improperly retained material was metadata — information associated with a communication, such as a telephone number or email address, but not the message itself. It is believed to have included data trails related to people such as friends or family members who knew the targets of surveillance but were not themselves under investigation. The ruling means metadata can now be kept and used by CSIS only if it relates to a specific threat to Canadian security or if it is of use to an investigation, prosecution, national defence or foreign affairs. In a hastily assembled news conference Thursday after the decision become public, CSIS director Michel Coulombe said the spy service had halted all access to, and analysis of, the data in question while it thoroughly reviews the court decision. Goodale said he became aware of the “full scope of the issue” when the court judgment was made available to him in preliminary form a couple of weeks ago. the 2014-15 annual report of the Security Intelligence Review Committee, the watchdog over CSIS. In reading it, Federal Court Justice Simon Noel understands for the first time that the service is retaining information collected through judicial warrants about people who were not actual targets of investigations. Noel directs CSIS to provide information at coming hearings concerning CSIS retention and use of metadata gathered through warrants. October 2016: In his ruling, Noel says CSIS violated the law by keeping potentially revealing metadata about people who were not under investigation over a 10-year period. Goodale receives a preliminary copy of the highly critical ruling. He immediately asks the intelligence review committee to supervise management of the data and ensure full compliance with the judgment. November 2016: A redacted version of the ruling is made public. CSIS says it has halted all access to, and analysis of, the data in question while it thoroughly reviews the court decision. Goodale says he expects CSIS to follow the court ruling. Sources: Federal Court of Canada, CSIS

He said he took the immediate step of informing the Security Intelligence Review Committee, the watchdog over CSIS, and asked the review committee to supervise management of the data and ensure full compliance

with the judgment. Coulombe “understands my expectations here,” Goodale added. “A serious error has been made. This situation needs to be remedied. It has to be remedied quickly.”

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

DentalCheck CheckUp UpFor ForChristmas? Christmas? AADental Dear Dr. D: My son is a grown man (almost 50 years of age). He is set in his ways, but generally takes care of his health. The one thing I'm concerned about is the fact he won't see a dentist until something bothers him. I've spent a lot of time and money keeping my teeth in great shape (I'm 76) and I'm worried about him letting his teeth go just because he is stubborn. He does brush regularly but thinks regular dental visits are just an excuse to bill him. Why should he see a dentist when nothing is wrong? If you suffer from sensitive teeth, bleeding gums, Answer: receding gums, chipped teeth, sore facial muscles, or frequent headaches – these are all reasons to see a dentist. We know of a man with great teeth who developed major health problems unrelated to his mouth. He retired in his 40's and you could tell from his lifestyle money was never an issue. When he became ill, he maintained his brushing and flossing regimen but assumed because of his earlier and continual diligent care he was fine. He didn't see a dentist for 8 years while his health steadily deteriorated, and his medication intake went from nothing to a great deal of medicine daily. The meds eliminated much of his saliva giving him a dry mouth, so the natural cleansing action was nonexistent. He started to develop gum disease and the hygienist almost had to take a cold chisel to his teeth to remove the layers. They still 'looked good' to him superficially – but any dental professional would have set him straight about the need for more frequent professional cleanings. He left the office with the totally incorrect notion that he was being overcharged. He had 8 years of deferred maintenance. Nothing is ever less expensive to repair in any mouth, than now. Unless, of course, you wait so long that full dentures are the only option. Patients who see us the most frequently are the ones who spend the least overall in keeping a healthy mouth. Maintaining things is part of life if you want things to last. Would you drive a car for 8 years and not ever change the oil? We see men who won't drive more than 5000 kilometres in their car without an oil change, but wait until a tooth hurts before they invest in a checkup. Something can always 'go' wrong in our mouths without us knowing, which is why dental offices have a preventative maintenance program. It accelerates as we age. Your son has had a bit of a dental holiday until now, but it will change. Give him a checkup for a Christmas gift. We'll be gentle with him!

Economy adds 44,000 jobs, entirely part-time BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

O

TTAWA — The economy gained 44,000 jobs last month — fuelled entirely by part-time employment, which offset a loss in full-time positions — Statistics Canada said Friday, raising concerns that Canadians are having trouble securing gainful work. The result is further evidence that Canada is struggling to create “quality, high-paying jobs,” said David Madani, senior Canada economist at Capital Economics. “Even though headline employment is rising, overall income growth still appears to be slowing sharply,” Madani wrote in a note to clients. The overall increase in employment was driven by 67,000 additional part-time positions for the month, while the number of full-time jobs fell by 23,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 7.0 per cent as more people entered the labour market,

looking for work. Economists had expected a loss of 10,000 jobs overall and the unemployment rate to remain unchanged, according to Thomson Reuters. The increase in October follows an addition of some 67,000 jobs the previous month, which saw gains in both part-time and full-time work. There were also 26,000 jobs added to the economy in August. CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld said the last two months showed big gains in total employment, but he expected a pullback this month. “So eking out some gains was, all things considered, not a bad result,” he said. “This was still much better than the consensus would have estimated, even if the details are unimpressive.” However, Shenfeld noted that while Canadians are finding work, it’s not at a pace, especially for full-time jobs, that will generate a lot of income growth. “Therefore we can’t expect consumer spending to be the driver of the economy. We really need to do better

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The S&P 500 saw its ninth consecutive day of losses as uncertainty around the outcome of the U.S. election continued to weigh on stock markets Friday. “We’re kind of in a holding pattern today waiting for the election on Tuesday,” said Norman Levine, managing director at Toronto-based Portfolio Management Corp. “There’s not a huge ton of movement.” The S&P 500 slipped 3.48 points to 2,085.18. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 42.39 points to 17,888.28 and the Nasdaq composite was off 12.04 points at 5,046.37. Polls suggest while Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton remains in the lead, the gap between her and Republican rival Donald Trump has narrowed recently, making

the race tighter and leaving traders cautious. Meanwhile, solid jobs data south of the border has raised expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will hike its trend-setting interest rates next month, Levine said. The U.S. Labor Department said employers added 161,000 jobs last month and increased many workers’ pay. Unemployment fell to 4.9 per cent from five per cent. In Canada, the economy added 44,000 jobs in October. However, Statistics Canada said the rise was fuelled by part-time employment, which offset a loss in full-time positions. “Canada was somewhat disappointing because it had, on the surface, some nice job growth, but underneath it was all part-time,” Levine said. Lower oil prices weighed on the Toronto stock market,

as the S&P/TSX composite index gave back 74.17 points to close at 14,509.25. The broad-based decline saw most sectors of the TSX trending lower, with materials stocks slipping 0.98 per cent while energy companies lost 0.96 per cent. The only sectors of the Toronto stock market that didn’t fall were utilities companies, which gained 0.77 per cent, and real estate stocks, which climbed 0.6 per cent. The base metals sector was flat. The loonie was at 74.61 cents US, down 0.11 of a U.S. cent from Thursday’s close. In commodities, the December crude contract fell 59 cents to US$44.07 per barrel and December natural gas was essentially flat at US$2.77 per mmBTU. December gold rose $1.20 to US$1,304.50 an ounce and December copper contracts were up two

cents to US$2.27 a pound. Levine said crude prices have been lagging due to the combination of a stronger U.S. dollar and a lack of progress towards a proposed output cut deal by OPEC. “Oil had strengthened on hopes that OPEC and Russia would cut back on production … but that doesn’t seem to be happening, so it looks like the path of least resistance for oil for now is down,” Levine said.

In October, there were 21,000 more jobs in the goods-producing sector last month, boosted by a gain of 24,000 positions in the construction industry, which offset losses elsewhere.

Brake safety issue with certain Ford F-150 models

O

TTAWA — Transport Canada has identified a brake safety issue with certain Ford F-150 models and is deciding whether Ford of Canada will be ordered to issue a recall notice. Transport Minister Marc Garneau said the government agency contacted Ford and is disappointed that the automaker disagrees with its assessment. Ford said the American National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigated reports in the U.S. associated with the same safety issue

and after analysis, which included purchasing and testing a vehicle, concluded that it remained controllable. The NHTSA report, which closed April 28, stated that testing “demonstrated that, even when worst-case conditions were simulated, the vehicles could be stopped with moderate increases in brake pedal effort.” Transport Canada said it has received more than 100 consumer complaints involving a failed electric vacuum pump in the power brake system of certain Ford models, which may result in an unexpected, longer stopping distance.

OPINION

Let’s welcome the Tab Advocate A

s they say, change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine. But one thing is definitely for sure, the only thing that changes is change. I’m referring, of course, to that which you now hold in your hands, unless you are peering over somebody’s shoulder or have your newspaper propped up on the table, leaning against your Better Half’s coffee cup. Big changes far and wide and right here at home. Back before the invention of the printing press, when local archivist and former Citizen of the Year Michael Dawe was just a pup, word of mouth was the primary source of news. If you’ve ever played that campfire game where you whisper a message to the person next to you and it goes around the circle until the last person says out loud something completely different than what you started with, you can imagine how reliable the news was up to the 1500s. No wonder people were drawn and quartered on a regular basis. So when the printing press was invented by Steve Jobs by the year 1700 or so, people were able to get their beloved papers of news out of those little metal boxes on street corners. But early newspapers

were pricey. A paper in those days cost either one chicken, or a bushel of potatoes, and it was nearly impossible to jam either of those into that small slot on the newspaper box. So the paperboy profession began shortly after. About the same time, the “broadsheet” evolved. Thusly named on account of the broadsheets were all typed up by “broads” in a large room. This was also known as the “industrial revolution.” Long before it was politically incorrect to call women “broads.” The broadsheet was popular for many years because people like to fold them in very specific ways when they read them. I can see my Dad right now in my mind’s eye, his Advocate spread out in front of him, folding the sports section backwards this way, and then in half lengthwise. He used to read the paper sitting on the stairs by the front door entrance, the pages fanned just so all around him on the carpet. “I don’t know when it started,” he said to me once. “But now I always turn to the obituaries first.” Like some wag once said, “Every day I check out the obits in the paper. If I’m not there, I have a good day.” And now we have a tab. Not “Tab” the diet soft drink, tab as

in “tabloid.” A different size and shape for our newspaper, after all these years. True, the tabloid style of paper used to be dominated by front page news of Elvis sightings, alien abductions and rumors of Brad and Angelina breaking up, giving rise to the term: “tabloid journalism” or, if you prefer: “unmitigated bulltweet.” But not anymore. Tabloids are popular now because they are easy to hold and read, and you don’t have to have a degree in mechanical engineering to figure out how to fold a broadsheet for readability. (My Dad was one of the many untrained expert newspaper folders.) And most of the Pulitzer Prize winning newspapers are now tabloids. (Except in England.) So welcome, Tab Advocate. It’s nice to nestle here in your smaller pages. Change always takes a bit of getting used to, but I figured out just this morning, you can still prop up the Advocate Tab onto your Better Half’s coffee cup. So we should be good for the next 100 years or so. Harley Hay is a local freelance writer, award-winning author, filmmaker and musician. His column appears on Saturdays in the Advocate.

OPINION

Red Deer not forgetting about the homeless

The imminent arrival of winter often raises public concern for our socially vulnerable citizens given the elevated risks that exposure to the elements presents, and members of Council are often asked by concerned citizens, “What are you doing about homelessness?” Emergency shelter, affordable housing and social support services are together a complex web of inter Tara and intra-governmental jurisdiction, Veer and of delivery between the not-forprofit, charitable and private sectors. There are a number of strategic initiatives underway with the city, our community and Provincial Government partners, one of which I’ll address in this month’s article, a second which I’ll address in a future article as “part two.” Emergency shelter, affordable housing and associated support services are direct mandates and responsibilities of the provincial government. However, when there is a shortage of safe shelter and gaps in local support services, local government is compelled to respond out of ethical imperative, recognizing that when public safety is at stake, someone, somewhere must do something more beyond debating the jurisdictional responsibility of governments. Red Deer is the largest of the mid-sized cities in Alberta and the regional hub for Central Alberta. We are equal and accessible distance between Edmonton and Calgary. These factors, and a substantially recessed provincial economy, mean that our local social support systems are not just at capacity for our current population, but that we have a critical need to modernize and adapt our local shelter, housing and social support systems to meet the needs of our growing community in the coming

years. Of two projects currently underway to do just that, one is specifically focused on emergency shelter needs. In the 2016 budget, council commissioned a study of shelter needs for Red Deer and region, recognizing that emergency shelter is not a longterm housing solution for those who need it, but for a city of our size we will likely always have need for emergency shelter of some form. While we have many frontline service providers serving our homeless citizens with excellence, two years ago our community identified existing gaps in winter daytime services as well as occasional shortages in overnight shelter space. Our local response to these challenges was additional overnight space for winter emergency response and the establishment of a daytime winter warming centre in addition to the existing shelter options and services that multiple agencies and charities provide in support of our homeless citizens. On a per capita basis, Red Deer has historically received less direct shelter funding from the provincial government than Edmonton, Calgary, and other similar sized cities; This has proven challenging for our community, especially given the population and geographic factors I mentioned earlier. Our community and the city have by necessity responded with “interim” solutions for public safety purposes, and have been actively working with the Ministry of Human Services and our local MLAs to address these needs. The Ministry of Human Services has responded to these discussions with new operational funding for Red Deer designated for winter emergency shelter and daytime warming for the homeless, a fact which we are appreciative of. Now that our short-term solution is in place, we are ready to focus our efforts on bringing long-term resolution to this critical issue. The intent of the

‘WHILE WE HAVE MANY FRONTLINE SERVICE PROVIDERS SERVING OUR HOMELESS CITIZENS WITH EXCELLENCE, TWO YEARS AGO OUR COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED EXISTING GAPS IN WINTER DAYTIME SERVICES AS WELL AS OCCASIONAL SHORTAGES IN OVERNIGHT SHELTER SPACE. OUR LOCAL RESPONSE TO THESE CHALLENGES WAS ADDITIONAL OVERNIGHT SPACE FOR WINTER EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DAYTIME WINTER WARMING CENTRE IN ADDITION TO THE EXISTING SHELTER OPTIONS AND SERVICES THAT MULTIPLE AGENCIES AND CHARITIES PROVIDE IN SUPPORT OF OUR HOMELESS CITIZENS.’ — MAYOR TARA VEER

shelter study is to identify specific local needs, to look at potential options for: consolidated overnight shelter (instead of multiple locations), sufficient shelter capacity (to resolve occasional shortages in overnight spaces), and integrated basic support services for the vulnerable such as food and employment search services (to resolve service gaps). The city is actively working with community service providers to establish recommendations that will sufficiently address existing needs of vulnerable populations and prepare us to better respond to emerging needs as they arise. Following the completion of this study, we will then submit these recommendations to the Provincial Government to work towards a long-term solution. On behalf of city council, thank you to all our community partners for your commitment to pursuing local solutions to this issue, and for your service to the vulnerable in our community.

STREET TALES

Mental issues can’t be swept under rug Whenever I sit down to start an article, I always put on some soft music. It helps me to think more clearly by creating a break filler. So this morning as I put on a You Tube music selection, they started the session with a Telus Chris commercial. In this ad, they interviewed a Salomons mother of a child with a speech impediment. It got me to thinking about the reasons that keep some people from progressing as most folks will. At the kitchen I often get really frustrated and upset when I see a young man totally despondent because he can’t find work, and all because he has a minor mental issue. I can almost hear the responses he would get. Like the one I got from a businessman when asked why he would not hire a fellow such as this. His response was extremely quick

and made me want to take one of my large stirring paddles to the side of his head. He said, “Why in heaven’s name would I hire someone whose elevator only goes to the ninety-ninth floor of a 100-floor building”? Almost any physical difficulty can be repaired or accommodated, but introduce any type of disorder of a neurological nature or mental issues regardless of how minor and attitudes change totally. Are we really so insensitive as to reject a person who demonstrates any type of mental issue? I am thinking of two individuals who because of a disorder have great difficulty finding work. One has mild schizophrenia and the other has a disorder where he has trouble holding emotions; but it has kept him from following his dreams. Yes, he has dreams just like you and I, but his condition when exposed prevents him from fulfilling his. So he resides outside until finally someone will take notice and promote

his case for help. I know for a fact that he would love to have a job, one that would give him some dignity. For the person with mild schizophrenia, the same roadblocks have at times dampened her spirit, but she would just go back to school or to the college for more training; she was extremely bright, with a very good knowledge of conditions that affected people. Now married and raising a child, she did not let the system beat her down, but I know the anguish she went through; the disappointments and heartbreak. Just before having a child, she did finally get a job that was suited for her and where her ailment was not a factor. Her level of pride jumped dramatically. I know that there are some very compassionate employers and I will take nothing away from them. Also there are many more companies that are finding that in a lot of cases, people with mental handicaps are very loyal employees, but we need many

more. Not just a token worker that will stand out like a sore thumb. If there is any discouragement in my line of work at the kitchen it’s seeing someone who has run into one wall after another finally receive some ‘get out of our sight’ monies to live on. This is not what they want; they want to feel the pride of a job well done; they want an employer that will encourage them to work. Mental issues can be daunting and sometimes messy and intrusive, but they cannot be swept under a rug or ignored any longer; instead, we need to become more like the mother of an autistic child. I’ve seen them with their children, and they are someone we should all be proud to emulate. Maybe, just maybe then we could help reduce the number in the poor category.

P

ope Francis is continuing along his remarkably liberal path, most recently by praising Martin Luther at a ceremony in Sweden beginning a yearlong 500th anniversary commemoration of the Reformation. Yet despite the pope’s openness, and the corresponding good faith of the Lutherans, the two sides were unable to effect a reconciliation. The episode raises two questions: Why try? And how is it that, in this post-theological age, not even Christian believers can get past their own wars of religion? To start with the obvious, it’s moving that the pope would speak positively about Martin Luther, who technically is still under a ban of excommunication issued by Pope Leo X in 1521. In 2011, Benedict XVI offered some mild approbation of “Luther’s burning question” — about the nature of justification, or salvation, in Christ. But Francis went further, saying that Luther’s issue is “the decisive question of our lives,” and that his doctrine of justification “expresses the essence of human existence before God.” In case you’re a little rusty on your soteriology, Luther’s transformational argument about salvation can be summed up in the slogan “faith alone.” God grants salvation as an act of free grace based on the believer’s faith in Christ, not the believer’s actions. In contrast, the Catholic Church believes in salvation through a combination of faith and acts. Despite what would appear to be significant differences, the Catholic Church and a raft of Lutheran churches signed in 1999 a Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification that enabled them to claim that they now share “a common understanding of our justification by God’s grace through faith in Christ.” I’ll spare you the doctrinal heavy lifting. What’s significant about the document is that it shows churches can find common ground when they want to. After the joint declaration, it seemed conceivable that Catholics and Lutherans might actually be able to repair their schism and enter into communion with each other. Why bother to try? Part of the answer is undoubtedly theological. Catholics and Lutherans alike are committed to the idea of the church as a single mystical body. They therefore consider the 500-year-old breach a “wound in the body of Christ,” as the two sides agreed to put it in a joint statement this week. But the desire for union goes further. In an era when Islam seems to be rising, and Christianity finds itself on the defensive, especially in rich Western countries, resolving internal conflict has public relations value. It’s embarrassing for a faith that wants to teach love, peace and harmony to find itself still divided by disagreements that produced hundreds of years of war and violence. The continuing division between Catholics and Protestants is a reminder that disagreement over what appeared to be small differences can be pervasive and violent. The upshot is that Catholics and Lutherans are in this sense like Sunnis and Shiites — divided more by identity and history than by theology or belief. The good news is that they aren’t at war, and haven’t been for centuries. The bad news is that identity divisions created over centuries can take centuries to fade away.

Olds no match for RDC Kings & Queens hoopsters BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Queens 82 Broncos 72 ne of the RDC Queens downfalls in the past has been a poor effort coming out of the dressing room after halftime. That’s something head coach Ken King has been spending a lot of time trying to correct and if Friday’s performance means anything the Queens are headed in the right direction. The Queens outscored the Olds Broncos 29-17 in the third quarter to take a nine point lead and never looked back as they recorded an 82-72 Alberta Colleges Women’s Basketball League victory at RDC. “We’ve been putting a lot of emphasis on that this week,” said King. “We worked on specific ways of coming out ready to play. We’d have breaks, stop practice in the middle of a drill so that we had to come back out, warm up again and be ready and it showed up in the third quarter.” The came out strong and twice held 10 point leads before giving them back. The teams were tied 19-19 after the first quarter with Olds leading 3734 at the half. “We were trying to do something there that wasn’t as effective as I hoped. I’ll take the hit for that, but we have to execute better and everyo0ne has to know what we can do,” said King, who substituted freely in the second quarter, which seemed to take some momentum away. Overall the RDC defence was solid, especially in the third quarter creating a number of turnovers. “The defence that hurt us in the second quarter, when we were playing man, was the exact same defence we used in the third quarter that brought us back and changed the game,” added King. Still it was the Queens offence and rebounding that picked up the pace and ultimately led to victory. Kiana Mintz, who transferred in from Olds this season, led the Queens with 22 points, nine rebounds and three steals. Eva Bonde had 16 points and six boards and Emily White, who was battling a touch of the flu, had 16 points and nine rebounds. Brianna Scott led the Broncos with 29 points while Sierra Harty added 17 and Alice-Fay Pitts 12. Kings 98 Broncos 90 The Kings started slow, and in fact never did find a good rhythm on offence until the second half. They trailed 24-20 and 43-40 after the first two quarters, The third quarter they started to control the boards and found their offence and led 71-64 after 30 minutes and on their way to a

98-90 victory. “We had to dig ourselves out of a hole in that first quarter and to the guys credit they kept grinding away and once we took the lead we never relinquished it,” said Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger. “At times you need to win gritty games and that was a good example of one.” What hurt the Kings was star guard Ian Tevis never found his stroke in the first half and managing just three points. He finished with 14. Pottinger was still disappointed with the team defence at times. “We still make some mistakes which the other team capitalized on. We gave up 90 points. That’s what happens when you have spurts when you’re not watching what you’re doing.” Pottinger did admit there’s more top scorers in the ACAC than in the past. “And they play different positions, not just guards, which changes things,” he said. “But there’s still things we have to correct, and we will continue to work on them. Mind you if we were good and perfect right now we’d have a problem.” The Broncos have an athletic team, but lack depth with only nine players dressed, and size. “We had an advantage inside and rebounding in the second half was a difference in the game,” said Pottinger. Matt Matear was the RDC player of the game with 17 points and 18 rebounds while Kai Greene had 17 points, Khurram Sultan 15, Shayne Stumpf 15 points and 13 rebounds and Anthony Robbs 11 points. Cody Bouchard had 25 points, Jamelle Davis 18 and Anthony Heintzman 17 for Olds. RDC is at home again tonight as they host St. Mary’s Lightning of Calgary. Women tip off at 6 p.m., followed by the men. Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate.com. His work can also be seen at Danny’s blog at rdcathletics.ca.

Rebels emerge with an overtime win on the road win against the Spokane Chiefs Rebels 4 Chiefs 3 (OT) SPOKANE, Wash. — It wasn’t exactly how the Red Deer Rebels drew it up, but they’ll gladly take the 4-3 overtime victory over the Spokane Chiefs in Western Hockey League play Friday. Michael Spacek scored a power play goal at 4:31 of overtime to snap a four-game losing streak. The Rebels led 2-0 after the first period on goals by Jordan Roy and Ethan Sakowich, which were the first of the season for both players. Hudson Elynuik narrowed the gap in the middle stanza and Keanu Yamamoto tied the game just 57 seconds into the third period.

Austin Pratt gave the Rebels a 3-2 lead with his sixth goal of the season at 7:59, but Kailer Yamamoto tied it against a tiring Red Deer squad at 16:32. The Rebels were out shot 15-7 in the third period and 32-30 overall. Riley Lamb went the distance in goal for Red Deer while Jayden Sittler was in net for the Chiefs. Red Deer was one for-three on the power play and killed off five shorthanded situations. The Rebels return home before once again hitting the road for four games in five days — Friday in Brandon, Saturday in Moose Jaw, Sunday in Regina and Nov. 15 in Swift Current. They’re back home Nov. 18 against Medicine Hat.

NHL

Blackhawks’ Hossa off to a solid start this season BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

C

HICAGO (AP) — Marian Hossa raced up the ice and headed to the net. Fedor Tyutin jabbed at him with his stick, but it was too late. Hossa shook him off and flicked the puck over Semyon Varlamov’s glove. It was vintage Hossa. While the NHL playoffs raged into June, the 37-year-old Hossa found his legs again. The physical winger is off to a solid start for the Chicago Blackhawks, flashing the form that made him one of the league’s best two-way players for most of his distinguished career. “So far, I feel pretty good, skating-wise, and also had lots of puck on my stick,” Hossa said. “So when you play with the puck you get more comfort level and you are making things happen.”

‘HE’S GOT SOME OFFENSIVE NUMBERS THAT REALLY ARE GREAT TO LOOK AT. THE BEST PART OF HIS GAME IS THE CONSISTENCY OF BEING A PRO, NIGHT IN AND NIGHT OUT, BEING RESPONSIBLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PUCK, PLAYS HARD EVERY SINGLE GAME AND NIGHT. IT’S A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR OUR YOUNG GUYS LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THE RIGHT WAY.’ — COACH JOEL QUENNEVILLE

Like Thursday night, when Hossa played a key role in Chicago’s 4-0 win over Colorado. First, he got free for a breakaway and held off Tyutin on the way to his fourth goal of the season at 15:03 of the first. Hossa scored again 55 seconds into the third , taking a stretch pass from defenseman Duncan Keith and shooting over Varlamov’s glove for his fourth goal in his last four games. “He’s skating well,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “He’s never really looked like he’s slowing down at any time. The finish around the net was nice to see, two outstanding shots.” Hossa, who signed a 12-year, $62.8 million contract in July 2009, helped the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup in 2010, 2013 and 2015. But the years of long playoff runs and Olympic play took a toll. He had just 13 goals and 20 assists in 64 games last season, and Chicago was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2012. “Definitely longer summer helps after such a long time,” Hossa said. “I think the body needed a little rest.” His resurgence has helped Chicago to four straight wins and seven of nine overall, masking some issues with puck possession and turnovers. The Blackhawks face a difficult test this weekend

Hossa has five goals and four assists in 10 games. He didn’t score his fifth goal last season until his 24th game. “You know sometimes when the puck goes in early for you you’re more relaxed,” he said. “You don’t force things, and I think right now that’s what’s happening.” Hossa also has found a home on Chicago’s second line, playing alongside center Artem Anisimov and Calder Trophy winner Artemi Panarin. Anisimov, Panarin and Patrick Kane formed one of the NHL’s most potent lines last season, but Kane is playing alongside captain Jonathan Toews in the top group at the moment as Quenneville searches for balance in his lineup. Panarin set up Hossa’s first goal against the Avalanche. “Playing with two really good players, you know,

try to find an open area and those guys can find you,” Hossa said. “I think things are clicking, just need to keep working on it.” Hossa’s first multigoal game since Jan. 10, also against Colorado, ran his goal total to 504, passing Peter Bondra for the highest total for a Slovakian-born player. Hossa is 41st on the NHL’s career list, just three back of Hall of Fame center Jean Beliveau. “He’s got some offensive numbers that really are great to look at,” Quenneville said after Hossa scored his 500th goal, which occurred last month against Philadelphia. “The best part of his game is the consistency of being a pro, night in and night out, being responsible on both sides of the puck, plays hard every single game and night. It’s a good example for our young guys learning how to play the right way.”

Reilly, Maas to wear live microphones when Eskimos host Argonauts BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

E

DMONTON — He’ll wear a mic but Mike Reilly might not have much to say Saturday when the Edmonton Eskimos host the Toronto Argonauts. Edmonton (9-8) will know long before kickoff the relative importance of its regular-season finale. The contest will mean nothing if Winnipeg defeats the Ottawa Redblacks on Friday night because that would leave the Eskimos fourth in the West Division and visiting the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East Division semifinal. If Ottawa wins, the Eskimos could finish third in the West with a win over Toronto. That would force Winnipeg to head to Hamilton as the crossover squad. But if there was nothing on the line, chances are Eskimos head coach Jason Maas would play Reilly sparingly against Toronto, limiting onfield insight he could provide. Not surprisingly, though, Maas wouldn’t say who he might rest Saturday. “I don’t have to say anything right now,” he said. “We’ll put out the best roster that we need to put out there. “We want to win the ball game no matter who’s out there.” However, Reilly, the CFL passing leader (5,554 yards) wants to play regardless. “I want to play the game, the whole game,” he said. “I don’t want to come out for a single snap. “I want to play every pre-season game, I want to play every post-season game and every game in between. That’s how I prepare every single week. Until I’m told differently I’ll still prepare that way but those are decisions that are above my head.” Last month, the CFL fined Edmonton $20,000 and Maas $15,000 for refusing to wear live microphones Oct. 10 during a 40-20 road win over the Montreal Alouettes. The Eskimos later apologized. The league added if Maas refused to wear a live microphone again, he’d receive “the maximum fine allowable” and be suspended for Edmonton’s next game, which in this case would be a first-round playoff contest.

The live mic games are being promoted as a way for fans to hear interactions between coaches and quarterbacks. They were mandated by the league’s board of governors and agreed to by all teams. Reilly and Maas decided against being mic’d up against Montreal because it made them feel uncomfortable. But Reilly will wear one against Toronto. “It’s a situation (now) that I’m comfortable with doing it,” he said. “But again that doesn’t mean that’s how it will be in the future. “No matter how much anybody wants to act like that’s a rule you have to follow, we have a CBA and it protects us and it specifically states we have the choice. Maybe that was not known by some people earlier but that’s the reality.” Reilly said another concern he had initially was exposing fans to the sometimes salty language that’s spoken on the field. “I’m colourful on the field and that honestly was one of my major concerns,” Reilly said. “I have a lot of faith in TSN … they’ve proven to me in the past they’re not going to make the player look bad in terms of the heat of the moment you’re saying stuff. “It will be in the back of my mind but again when you’re on the field you’ve got to play how you play because that’s what makes you the player you are.” Toronto (5-12) is playing for next year having dropped six straight and 10 of their its 11 games. Veteran Ricky Ray will make his 200th career start and look to improve to 3-3 against his former team. Ray began his CFL career with Edmonton in 2002 and led the Eskimos to two Grey Cup wins before being dealt to Toronto prior to the 2012 campaign. Ray has amassed a 103-95-1 career record but injuries have limited to just eight starts this season (3-5). “We’re just trying to play our best football,” he said. “That’s all we can do each week regardless of the situation, just go out there and try and play our best game. “I’m looking for us to go out and execute, make plays on offence and score some points.”

CFL West Division crossover team next week in the East semifinal, while Montreal (6-11) is out of the playoff picture. Collaros, however, said he won’t need much motivation to take on his division rival. If Montreal wins, it will share the same record as Hamilton, but the Ticats hold the tiebreaker with two earlier victories against the Als.

Bombers get their kicks against the Redblacks BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Bombers 33 Redblacks 20 TTAWA — Justin Medlock has certainly put his best foot forward this season. The Winnipeg kicker nailed four field goals to set a single-season record Friday as the Blue Bombers closed out the regular season with a 33-20 win over the Ottawa Redblacks. Medlock’s fourth field goal of the game, a 12-yarder late in the fourth quarter, gave him 60 on the season — one more than the 59 Dave Ridgway had with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1990. “I kind of wanted to kick some field goals today and I kind of had some easy ones, but overall this whole season I’ve had a lot of long ones, so it’s good,” Medlock said. “I think I’ve had better years and some better kicks and I missed some at the beginning of the year that kind of drives me nuts, but I’m kicking well now. I came here to do some good things so it’s been a solid season.” The Redblacks (8-9-1) also made some history, becoming the first team in the CFL to win a division crown while posting a losing record. The Blue Bombers finished the regular season 11-7. Ottawa didn’t play many of its starters Friday, including quarterbacks Henry Burris and Trevor Harris, the only two men to start at pivot for the team this season prior to Friday. Harris did throw one pass on a fake field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter, but the pass was incomplete. Brock Jensen got the start in their place and split the duties with Danny O’Brien, who worked the middle two quarters. The Blue Bombers avoided a potential East Division semifinal matchup with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Instead they will either host the B.C. Lions or travel to Vancouver for the West Division semifinal next Sunday. Ottawa awaits the winner of next Sunday’s East Division semifinal between the host Tiger-Cats and Edmonton Eskimos, who earned a crossover berth from the West division. “Two things we wanted to accomplish tonight was, one — win the game, and two — to come out as healthy as we could. It was disappointing to lose,” Redblacks coach Rick Campbell said, adding their record to this point doesn’t matter. “All that matters is who comes two weeks from now and plays good football for 60 minutes. That’s part of the reason decisions were made to sit some people, to put ourselves in as good a position as we

They had opened a 16-10 lead early in the quarter when Medlock kicked an 11-yard field goal, but a 29-yard touchdown run from Travon Van, once converted, gave the Redblacks a 17-16 lead. Quincy McDuffie returned the ball 95 yards for a touchdown on the ensuing kickoff, giving the Bombers a 23-17 lead. Ray Early kicked a 27-yard field goal at 10:35 to cut Winnipeg’s advantage to seven 11 minutes into the third quarter. The Redblacks had opened an early 7-0 lead, recording their first pick-six of the season on the second play of the game. After Nichols completed a short pass on his first attempt, his second was deflected and ended up in

the hands of Nic Taylor, who zigged, then zagged 57 yards to the end zone. It took until the final play of the first quarter for the Bombers to draw even as Nichols connected with Adams on a 10-yard touchdown pass. The big play on that drive was a 50-yard reception to Weston Dressler. “When we look at the film obviously there’s going to be things to work on,” Adams said. “Right now we’re just happy we won the game and it’s the playoffs now. This is a tough league to win in so we’re just grateful that we got a win.” Medlock gave the Bombers their first lead with a 20-yard field goal nine minutes into the second quarter. Ottawa’s offence scored its first points of the night, and only points of the first half, on a 39-yard field goal from Early at 12:25, but Medlock connected from 15 yards out to give the Bombers a 13-10 lead 36 seconds later.

Lions set to host Saskatchewan Roughriders in regular-season finale

V

ANCOUVER — Wally Buono sensed three weeks ago the B.C. Lions weren’t having much fun. Back-to-back losses to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, including a demoralizing 35-32 home defeat where they blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, was putting a damper on what to that point had been a positive 2016. Three weeks later and with the playoffs just around the corner, the Lions look like a completely different team, one full of confidence and swagger ahead of Saturday’s regular-season finale at home against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. “As an organization, we want to be the best we

can be,” said Buono, the club’s head coach and general manager. “We’ve set a goal of winning the last three games (of the regular season) to go into the playoffs on a high.” That didn’t look likely after B.C. (11-6) dropped those consecutive games to Winnipeg, but thanks to a slump-busting victory over the Edmonton Eskimos and a convincing win at Saskatchewan last weekend, B.C. is back in the driver’s seat and on course to host a home playoff game on Nov. 13. The Lions control their own destiny, needing either a win or a tie against Saskatchewan at B.C. Place Stadium to clinch second in the West Division after the Blue Bombers (11-7) downed the Ot-

tawa Redblacks 33-20 on Friday. Winnipeg owns the tiebreak over B.C. and would grab home-field advantage for next week’s semifinal if the teams wind up with identical records. “Honestly, I’m glad we went through what we went through,” said Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian, who leads the league with 128 tackles. “You need to test yourself mentally and you need to fight back.” On the other side, Saskatchewan (5-12) is playing out the string after falling 24-6 to B.C. last weekend in the final game at Mosaic Stadium, and is looking to cap another miserable season on a positive note.

DeRozan’s 34 points push Raptors past Heat BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Toronto 96 Miami 87 ORONTO (AP) — DeMar DeRozan is showing no signs of slowing down. The Toronto Raptors star has surged to the top of the NBA scoring charts, averaging 35.8 points after dropping 34 on the Miami Heat in a 96-87 victory Friday night. It was his fifth-straight game with at least 30 points for DeRozan, passing Mike James for the longest such streak in franchise history and the best such start to a season since Michael Jordan did it for six straight games to open the 1986-87 season. DeRozan was not about to dwell on his place alongside such distinguished company. “Yeah, I heard,” he said. “I don’t believe it.” What he could believe was the four turnovers he had in the first quarter, part of the six the team committed as it fell behind by 12 points at one point. DeRozan admitted he was passing too much at that point, something that he quickly adjusted in helping his team rally back from a double-digit deficit for the second straight game. “A couple shots I passed up,” he said. “(Coach Dwane Casey) just said to me to go out and shoot it.” Toronto’s win was helped greatly by the play of its reserves, which combined for a season-high 36 points as the Raptors beat the Heat for the fourth-straight time in the regular season. This was the first meeting between the teams since Toronto beat Miami in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season. Terrence Ross had 20 points off the bench, and his play epitomized Toronto’s comeback. “We always go 15 deep and we really have a full team,” said Kyle Lowry, who had 13 points. “One day it’s one guy’s time and the next day it might be another guy’s.” The Heat looked to be back in the

HORSE RACING

side-by-side until the final stride when Beholder barely pushed in front. The official margin was a nose but it seemed even closer. Call it a nostril. Neither horse would give in. Some thought Beholder, who had lost three in a row and was defeated by Stellar Wind twice this year, was a shade past her prime. Songbird had never even been seriously tested until Friday, but she proved she was every bit as worthy to run in the most important race for fillies and mares. She was rewarded by the Friday record crowd of 45,763 at

Santa Anita with a huge ovation when she returned to be unsaddled. Beholder, of course, got an even bigger ovation. “I’ve been in battles before, but never the length of the stretch,” winning jockey Gary Stevens said. “For 6 years old, I would just say the way she’s been managed throughout her career (by trainer Richard Mandella) allowed her to do what she did on her final day of racing. She laid it all on the line.” Beholder finishes her career with 18 wins in 25 starts and most likely her fourth Eclipse Award.

Beholder refuses to give an inch LOS ANGELES—Sometimes a sporting event does live up to the hype. On Friday, the classic stretch duel in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff lasted more than a quarter of a mile and will long be remembered as one for the ages. There was 6-year-old Beholder, in her last race, and 3-year-old Songbird, just getting started and undefeated in 11 tries, trading the lead

NHL

Tanev lifts Jets past Red Wings BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Winnipeg 5 Detroit 3 ETROIT — Normally a bit player, Brandon Tanev played a starring role Friday night. Tanev scored his second goal of the game and his NHL career with 1:16 left to help the Winnipeg Jets beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-3 on Friday night. The Jets rallied from a 3-2 third-period deficit. “The resiliency of this group is incredible,” Tanev said. “We didn’t stop pushing. That’s the thing.” The fourth line player was undrafted, signed as a free agent and was playing his 15th game. “This is my first time playing at Joe Louis Arena and to get my first goal and then that,” Tanev said. “It’s just a great feeling.” Patrik Laine, Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored for Winnipeg. Connor Hellebuyck, from the Detroit-area suburb of Commerce Township, stopped 30 shots. “The players did a great job of shutting the game down in the first period,” Jets coach Paul Maurice said. “I really enjoyed this win from a coach’s standpoint.” Luke Glendening, Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader scored for Detroit, and Petr Mrazek made 26 saves. The Red Wings are 0-3-1 in their last four to drop to 6-5-1. “You’ve got to play a complete game in this league. Players are too good and will make you pay if you make mistakes and turn the pucks over,” Abdelkader said. “We’ve got to be better that way but there’s lots of things to build off of the last few games. It’s a long season. We’ll be better and get ready for Sunday (when the Red Wings host the Edmonton Oilers).” It was Gordie Howe night at Joe Louis Arena. The family of the late Hall of Famer spoke to the media before the game. Howe died on June 10 at the age of 88. His son, Mark Howe, is Detroit’s director of pro scouting. The first 5,000 fans received Gordie Howe statue replicas. Mark and his siblings, Marty, Murray and Cathy dropped the puck for the ceremonial opening faceoff. Tanev scored the winner on a breakaway, beating Mrazek on the glove side.

night. And the Columbus Blue Jackets made a little history of their own. Cam Atkinson, Nick Foligno, Scott Hartnell and Josh Anderson each scored two goals as Columbus swamped Montreal 10-0, matching the biggest loss in the Canadiens’ storied history and breaking the Blue Jackets’ franchise record. Montreal lost by 10 goals for the fifth time and the first since an 11-1 loss to Detroit in February 1995. The Canadiens dropped to 9-1-1. I don’t think you’re going forget one like that,”

Montreal wing Brendan Gallagher said. “We got taught a lesson here tonight. We had it coming. Last game we were sloppy, we got away with it. Tonight we didn’t.” Sergei Bobrovsky made 30 saves, and Seth Jones and David Savard added goals to help the Blue Jackets improve to 5-3-1. Columbus eclipsed its previous record offensive output of eight goals in a game. After surrendering 13 goals in 10 games before Friday, Montreal gave up eight to Columbus in the first two periods, half of them on power plays. Sixteen Columbus players picked up at least one point. “There’s nothing positive about tonight — nothing,” Montreal coach Michel Therrien said. The Blue Jackets banged away at Al Montoya, Montreal’s backup goalie who started in place in a Cary Price in the first game of a back-to-back set. - dedicated to customer satisfaction

REVIEW

Trip the light fantastic with The Time Machine BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

O

h, what a feeling. What a rush! The Time Machine, A Retro Rock & Roll Revue: A Love Story opened with electric energy Thursday night at Red Deer’s Scott Block theatre. A talented cast of local singers and musicians — led by powerhouse vocalists Kayla Williams from The Dirrty Show and Josh Baynes from local band Oldbury — performed some fantastic rock tunes while wearing truly terrible fashions. We’d expect nothing less, since this show — conceived and directed by Harley Hay — is rooted in nostalgic songs from 1965 to ’75. More than two dozen timeless tunes were performed with an infectious sense of fun by a cast of five singers and six musicians. The songs were strung around a very loose story line about a guy and a girl who meet, fall in and out of love. There’s no dialogue, apart from narrator Ryan Marchant (from the band KlamDaggers) making such trippy pronouncements as: “Sometimes it takes a little falling-out to fall back into love, like, for real, man, like forever …” Marchant modeled extreme hairstyles from the era while performing funky versions of Stevie Wonder’s I

Wish, and Jackie Wilson’s Higher. His performance of That’s the Way I Like It was sung with synchronized moves with backup singers, Laren Steppler and Michelle Colby (choreographed by Elisa Nixon). Colby delivered Lady Marmalade while sporting gold lamé bell-bottoms. (Did they glow, or was that reflection from the disco ball?) And Steppler managed to sing, dance — and play a honking big saxophone — without missing a beat. Hay gave us tmorphing lava lamp designs projected onto screens, vintage video clips of the NASA moon landing, Trudeau-mania, Barbie doll commercials, and the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. But the most memorable moments came from Baynes and Williams. Baynes’ voice is tailor-made for rock opera, as shown in his searing versions of Foxy Lady and One is the Loneliest Number. Williams performed a haunting rendition of Sound of Silence and brought down the house with her incredible delivery of Somebody to Love. The singers also nailed their duet of (The Jackson 5’s) I Want You Back. My one quibble was with many voices vying for dominance on ensemble numbers, such All You Need is Love. More back-seat harmonizing would have been nice. But it’s a small point

in an otherwise terrific show. Kudos also go to the amazing band that enjoyed every moment: music director Morgan McKee (sax and keyboards), Dave Parfett on organ, Hay and Rob Goodwin on a multitude of drums (and did I hear cow bell?), Jeremy Doody on guitar, and Scott Wiber

on bass. Larry Reese also lent a very cool ’60s vibe with his sitar intro. For a groovy blast from the past, check out The Time Machine until Nov. 12. (Tickets from bullskitcomedy.com) lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Corb Lund performs at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre on Nov. 17.

et other artists hop on the country-pop-folk train, Corb Lund is sticking to his guns and continuing to interpret country music in his own quirky, neo-traditional way. “That’s why I’m in a van instead of a tour bus — because I’m not swayed by trends!” joked the singer/songwriter, who performs with his band The Hurtin’ Albertans on Thursday, Nov. 17, at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre. “That’s why my songs don’t get played on the radio!” Kidding aside, Lund’s songs do get played — not only on CKUA and CBC, but also Red Deer’s KG Country, which he credits as being among the first in Alberta to spin his music. He’s also been picking up praise from far-flung sources. Lund’s last album of original music, Cabin Fever, won raves from the New York Times and Washington Post, which called Lund “a revelation, laconic and scary smart, with a devil’s eye for details.” It’s been four years since the release hit No. 1 in Canada and created a fan of Miranda Lambert, who invited Lund to open for her and Dierks Bentley. Lund finally released a follow up: Things That Can’t Be Undone. It isn’t a grand departure from his alt-country style. But his veteran

Michael Bublé says son Noah, 3, has cancer TORONTO — Canadian crooner Michael Bublé announced Friday

band members — bassist Kurt Ciesia, guitarist Grant Siemens, and drummer Brady Valgardson — are having more input into how the songs come together. While Lund didn’t have a particular theme in mind, the deaths of several family members inspired him to write more introspectively. Besides the heart-breaking Sunbeam, tunes such as S Lazy H also carry a melancholy tinge. Lund admitted, “I like those quieter kind of albums,” that lull listeners into a reflective mood. As for fans who’ve come to expect laughs from Lund, he doesn’t disappoint. Washed-Up Rock Star Factory Blues is told with a dance-able rockabilly beat and silly/clever lyrics about a would-be star who has to crawl back to his factory job back after telling his boss to stick it. The singer moved to Lethbridge from Edmonton several years ago to be closer to his family ranch at Cardston. After finishing up a string of concerts along the eastern U.S., he will embark on a tour of smaller centres throughout the Canadian Prairies.

The Burnaby, B.C., native, who is married to Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato, made the announcement in a posting on his Facebook page. “We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our oldest son Noah who is currently undergoing treatment in the U.S.,” wrote Bublé , who did not specify the type of cancer that was diagnosed. “We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children. Luisana and I have put our careers on hold in order to devote all our time and attention to helping Noah get well. “At this difficult time, we ask only for your prayers and respect for our privacy,” he added in the statement. “We have a long journey in front of us and hope that with the support of family, friends and fans around the world, we will win this battle, God willing.” Bublé and Lopilato have another son, Elias, who turns one in January. The diagnosis comes during a busy time for the multiple Grammy and Juno winner, who recently released the album Nobody But Me.

YOUTH

Cheater welcomed to the imperfectionist club

Dear Harlan: I’m a freshman in college. I have made a grievous mistake that I am struggling to move past — not only because of how this affected my grade, but more importantly, the hit that my own integrity has taken. I cheated on my statistics midterm. I wrote down formulas on my hand before the test, and while I studied the whole day using the formulas written my hand, I forgot to wash it off beCohen on fore the test. Harlan I succumbed to looking at my hand during the test, and my teacher caught me. I received a zero on the midterm, and a report has been made to my college’s academic dean. Since it is my first (and only) offense, this will not result in my failing the class or my expulsion, but it is in my academic record (but not my transcript). I have been overwhelmed with guilt for days, wondering why I did something like this. When I was in high school, I despised cheaters, but I have now become one. I don’t know how to go on living with my actions. Any advice you could offer me would be valuable, because I’m not sure I trust my own judgment anymore. Morally Stranded Dear Morally Stranded: Welcome to the club — The Imperfectionist Club. I’m one, too. I cheated on a Spanish test in high school. I never got caught, but I was riddled with guilt. I never cheated again. Imperfectionists make mistakes. We don’t beat ourselves up. We find answers. We change. We always believe in ourselves. You made a mistake. It’s part of learning. Find answers, change your behaviour and move forward. One answer for the cheating might be stress. Stress can cause people to panic and act out. More than 54 per cent of college students report feeling overwhelming anxiety throughout the past 12 months (according to ACHA-NCHA data). Different people cope with stress in different ways. It can lead to behaviours you don’t recognize. Instead of beating yourself up or making excuses, learn new ways to address the stress. Learning can include finding professional help, being more patient, being more forgiving of yourself, changing your attitude, getting extra help from tutors, being more active, getting involved and going home for a quick reboot. When you can’t recognize yourself, getting back to your roots can help. When you’re home for Thanksgiving, reach out to a teacher you respect and hang out with friends who can help you relax. You made a mistake. Learn from it, and move on. ✭✭✭ Dear Harlan: My boyfriend of three weeks said he loves me, but I’m not in the same place. I didn’t say I loved him, too. I’ve been hurt in the past and want to wait. I could tell he wanted me to say it. What should I do? I’m afraid he will leave. Not In Love Dear Not In Love: Kiss him after he tells you he loves you. Make it a great kiss. Then tell him that you love that he has such strong feelings for you. Explain that you move slowly and absolutely love spending time with him. Tell him that you just like to express yourself differently because you’ve been hurt in the past. Then kiss him again. If he’s telling you he loves you because he wants to feel secure and affirmed, an honest explanation and a kiss will tell him everything

he needs to know. If that doesn’t work, it’s just not going to work. ✭✭✭ Dear Harlan: I have been with my current boyfriend for almost 10 years. We have one child together. Although times can be good, I find myself questioning our relationship more and more. It’s starting to feel like we are growing apart and have less in common. We barely talk because he is either working, sleeping or playing video games. I find myself being more resentful toward him because he hardly pitches in bill-wise, and all he ever worries about is his video games. There are times when he won’t return calls or texts, and he even hangs up on me. He gets caught in lies all the time — he’s not cheating, but he still lies about the dumbest stuff. Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually still in love with him, or if I’m just too scared to start over and move on after being with him for so long. Now, here is the kicker: I’ve been friendly with another guy for more than five years. Nothing has ever happened between us. We have been a little flirtatious, but never acted on anything because we value our friendship and the relationships we are in — that is, until a couple of weeks ago. He recently ended his relationship and started being more flirtatious, and he opened up about how he felt about me. I’ve always had feelings for him and knew if we were ever single at the same time, I would act on it. We started talking more often, and my feelings grew to the point where I considered leaving my current boyfriend to see where things went with my “friend.” Then, out of nowhere, my friend said he wanted to try and work things out with his ex, who also is the mother of his child. He said he was doing it for his child and that he really liked me, but he didn’t want to ruin our friendship. I really tried to be mature about the situation. I told him that our friendship means a lot to me and I didn’t want to lose him as a friend, but I still feel hurt and don’t know how to tell him. I feel like he used me to feel better because he was going through a breakup. Now that he knows what he wants, I just got tossed to the side. We still talk on a regular basis and now he’s even becoming “cool” with my current

boyfriend. He comes over to play video games and talks about going out together with our kids for Halloween. Harlan, what should I do? Should I tell my friend my true feelings about how he made me feel? Should I tell him I feel used and toyed with, or should I just leave him alone? Confused in St. Paul Dear Confused: All this drama is just a distraction from the real issue. You are in a bad relationship. Your friend didn’t do anything wrong. In fact, he did exactly what you should be doing — working on his relationship for the sake of his child. Clearly, you’re not happy with your boyfriend and probably haven’t been for a very long time. Bouncing from your current relationship to a new one isn’t going to fix anything. Work on the relationship with your boyfriend. Do it for the child you have together. That’s where you need to start. If you’re single and your friend is single, talk to him about your feelings. Until then, the only relationship you should focus on is the one with your current boyfriend. ✭✭✭ Harlan is author of Getting Naked: Five Steps to Finding the Love of Your Life (While Fully Clothed and Totally Sober) (St. Martin’s Press).

DEBBIE TRAVIS

Display your adventurous decorating with pride W

hen there is a specific style that you want to achieve, a good starting point is to investigate the materials and colours that are synonymous with that look. Traditional interiors call to mind the warm hues of polished wood, inviting sofas and chairs covered in classic stripes and paisley prints, wallpapered walls and lots of family DEBBIE photos on tables and shelves. A chic TRAVIS city loft style would show off sleek furniture lines, a mix of metal meets wood or plastic for furniture, white walls with a shock of accent colour such as navy blue or acid yellow for a surprising contrast. I was asked to redecorate an old city kitchen, and the homeowner’s preference was for a lighthearted, country style that would suit her young family and brighten up dreary winter days. I immediately thought of white walls, mellow yellow cabinets, tiles with country character, and how about some bricks to add texture to the walls. On a tight budget we weren’t about to build a real brick wall, so I investigated options and discovered faux brick panels. The corner of the kitchen beside a big window was big enough to highlight the design, but not so big as to make the job too difficult. We cut the panels to fit and screwed them onto the wall. The panels were given a good coat of high adhesion primer to seal. To produce a rough brick texture, white paint was thickened with course wall-texturing powder, stirred but leaving some lumps intact. A heavy pile roller was used to daub the surface to give the impression of old whitewashed brick walls. Children love to draw, and see their artwork displayed, and the plain backsplash needed some attention. I devised a plan that would allow the children to get involved in the design and help put it together using mosaic tiles. They drew a variety of shapes and pictures that fit the kitchen theme. Since building a tile picture directly onto the wall was going to be awkward, pieces of Masonite were cut to fit. Cut out any holes for sockets before you begin tiling. The designs were copied onto the Masonite. The images were outlined and filled in with cut pieces of black, white and mirrored tiles. It’s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. (Cutting tiles must be done by an adult, as edges can be sharp. Use care and wear protective eye covering.) When placing the tiles, leave space around each

There are many approaches to decorating. If you enjoy the challenge, take the time to investigate what materials are available today that make a DIY project easier. If the raw materials are too costly, such as precious woods, tinted glass tiles, or on trend wallcoverings, you can always find an affordable solution. Use paint effects to imitate the grain in wood, or check out the good quality laminates. Choose a few glorious tiles set into a central pattern and surround them with basic white tiles. Most of all, have fun just like the children, and display your work with pride. Debbie Travis’ House to Home column is produced

Canadian inventor builds wireless backup camera in home workshop

P

eople love backup cameras on vehicles. It’s safer and easier to reverse while watching a screen display of what’s behind your car or truck, but less than a quarter of all vehicles have backup cameras right now. Making it easy to instantly add and remove a backup camera from any veSTEVE hicle is what Canadian inventor RenWhipp has created, and his story MAXWELL ny is interesting because he couldn’t have succeeded until now. No matter where you look, the Internet is changing the world. And while not all these changes are good, empowering the creativity of individuals and small teams is one of the greatest benefits the Internet offers. Renny and his vision is a perfect example. A life long Canadian tinkerer and inventor, Renny has harnessed the power of the internet to build a virtual team that created what he calls the Hindsight backup camera. Renny has built a working prototype, I’ve seen it in action, and it’s an amazing achievement. The Hindsight would also never have happened without two kinds of essential connections that the internet provides. When you think of product development, most of us think of nuts, bolts, circuitry and software. But none of these things can come together without the right kind of people behind them. After a

failed attempt to have the Hindsight camera developed by a major Canadian university, Renny assembled his own virtual team of engineers online. Working geographically separate but connected, they collaborate using design software and 3D printing tools to develop a refined and working product that only a major corporation could have created 10 or 20 years ago. Like I said, the Internet makes new things possible. The Hindsight camera delivers a wireless video signal to a smartphone or tablet on the dash of your vehicle. The quick-release base of the camera fastens to any car, truck, RV or transport truck using controllable magnets and a no-mar adhesive. No bolt holes or wiring required. The system has a working range of more than 80 feet, and a warning system in case you back up too close to vehicles, buildings or people. Holding this unit in your hand and using it you’d figure it was made by some huge corporation somewhere, not three little guys working together without pay. But as impressive as the Hindsight is, cool technology is only part of what turns an idea like this into a commercial product. Technology probably isn’t even the largest part. The other essential ingredient is money to fund the jump from prototype to product on store shelves. See Page 38

nsulation is one of the best investments a homeowner can make, but too often people overlook insulation in favor of more eye-catching renovations. Insulation is not something to be ignored, as it contributes to year-round comfort in the home while reducing energy costs along the way. According to the Energy Star program, you should add more insulation if the existing insulation is just level with or below the floor joists of your attic. If you cannot see any of the floor joists because the insulation is well above them, you probably have enough and adding more may not be cost-effective. In ad-

dition, check to see if the insulation is an even thickness across the entire attic. Sometimes it can be thicker in the middle and then peter out toward the eaves. Attic insulation is measured according to its R-Value, which measures the insulation’s ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. In many climates, the recommended level for homes is R-38. If you prefer more insulation, increase the R-Value. Insulation is made from different materials, including fiberglass, cellulose and rock wool. It comes in different forms. Rolls and batts are some of the more

commonly used types of insulation. Loose-fill insulation is a loose insulation with no backing that is usually blown into a space. Rigid foam and foam-inplace insulation are additional types of insulation. The type of insulation used depends on where the insulation is needed and your budget. Certain materials are not applicable for particular uses, and typically insulation that provides a higher R-Value tends to be more expensive. Examine the cost-effectiveness of the type of insulation being considered before application. You also can mix and match insulations depending on the application.

Crowdfunding is what they call it when many individuals invest money (often just small amounts of money) into a project they believe in, working together to make it real. The internet makes crowdfunding possible by telling the story of young, new products like the Hindsight, showing people around the world ideas they can get behind personally by contributing

funds. Why would anyone contribute to a crowdfunding campaign? A couple of reasons. One is to share in the thrill of innovation, experiencing the excitement that’s behind the best new products. Another reason is more practical. Crowd funders get rewards based on how much they contribute and how the campaign is set up. This might be a small perk for a small contribution, or something big like the option to buy the new product at a discounted rate when production begins.

The Hindsight is at the crowdfunding stage right now, and you can see it in action at www. 4sightsystems.org. Nothing big ever happens with just one person. The Hindsight is proof that its easier than ever to bring good people together to make good things happen, even in a small home workshop.

Nothing can be said to be certain but death and taxes.” And laundry. Laundry is one of those chores that never seems to end. In Canada alone almost four billion loads are washed every year and Canadians spend close to $1,000,000,000 (yes, that’s a billion) on laundry products every year. It’s a task very few people enjoy DAVID doing which is probably why it has FERGUSON traditionally been relegated to the basements, mud rooms, garages and utility closets of the typical home. But it’s the utilitarian nature of those locations that can make this routine and menial job even more dreary. With the age of technology even the lowly washing machine has become one of the most advanced, complicated and sexy appliances in the home. When he uttered those prophetic words, Benjamin Franklin could not have imagined washing machines that do all the work for you, including collecting, sorting and folding, or dryers that convert the steam and heat to a cup of potable water. Finally, there are rooms dedicated specifically to house these machines that have made lives easier, but even then, these spaces often remain faceless and functional. As I write this, I am renovating my own laundry room, starting with a spanking new washer/dryer set, and offered my relatively new, black slop sink and some black resin shelving to my favourite neighbour. She thought about it, looked at her husband for approval, but then declined saying: “You know, what I have is fine — it’s just a laundry room”. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck start to rise, and the redness in my face must have been plainly evident. She took two steps back when I stared at her blankly and whispered, apparently channelling Vincent Price, “Just a laundry room?” I have been called upon to design no less than four laundry rooms in the past year. Each of these projects was spurred on by the purchase of new appliances, and each one had its own personality, albeit, somewhat conservative in approach. None was more fun than designing this bright, cheerful laundry room for a retired woman whose mother was an accomplished amateur watercolourist. One of her favourite paintings depicted the somewhat idealized view outside of an always-broken window where her mother toiled daily with the family laundry. “Make my laundry room feel like that view,” she asked. Painted in the early 1970’s, the large landscape had a classic feeling, but featured the distinct colour palette of that era. To give the 70’s vibe a modern twist, I introduced bright chartreuse glass tiles and paired them with aqua-coloured floor tile to create a bright and cheerful space, quite at odds with the artist/homemakerís work space. I knew that transforming the space from utilitarian into a “fun” space was not the look my client was after, but feeling confident that I could marry “retro” and “respectful”, I integrated the paintings’ bold pea green and navy blue tones into the colour mix.

Here, then, are some important things to consider when redesigning the perfect laundry area: 1. If the opportunity presents itself, it would be wise to invest in a good vent fan. Proper ventilation is invaluable for drawing out excessive moisture in the air, which will help prevent mold and mildew from forming, and will help clothing dry faster. 2. Inevitably, wet textiles will be dropped on the floor, so a low-maintenance ceramic flooring is by far the best choice. 3. Nothing is appreciated more by launderers than a large table for folding. 4. A drying bar or clothesline for hanging damp garments is a must. A rolling or wall-mounted rack will also do the trick nicely. Ensure that it is located over or near a floor drain. 5.

Until today, paint brushes were washed in the same sink where fine washables are soaked. If the space is available, a dedicated soaker sink for laundry use only would be a good investment. 6. For quick repairs, a small sewing machine will be handy and could be set up on a small table or a portion of the counter, with ample room for a comfortable chair. 7. Finally, the iron and ironing board have a natural home. Ensure there is a safe place to leave a hot, unplugged iron, unattended. 8.

They reflect your environment and affect your health, even if you don’t notice them. “There are a whole bunch of different arthropods that we may not think about being part of our natural environment in the home but they’re there,” said biologist Anne Madden, the lead author of a report on the census published in the journal Molecular Ecology. “They’re our present, but often-ignored roommates.”

U.S., EU question Turkey’s detention of pro-Kurdish lawmakers

U.S. ELECTION

Clinton, Trump target two different Americas in final push BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

H

illary Clinton sped across battleground states Friday trying to energize minority and female supporters and seal a historic presidential victory, while Donald Trump travelled to small-town America to fire up the white, working-class voters he insists will bring the crown to his outsider campaign. Clinton and Democratic allies used star power and stark warnings as they addressed her base of African-American, Hispanic and female voters. She was campaigning in urban centres of Detroit, Pittsburgh and Cleveland while President Barack Obama made her case in Charlotte, North Carolina — all cities where minority voters are crucial. In Pittsburgh, a city where one in three people is not white, Clinton hammered Trump as “someone who demeans women, mocks people with disabilities, insults African-Americans and Latinos and demonizes immigrants and Muslims.” “Everywhere he goes he leaves people behind,” Clinton told rowdy supporters. She is hoping to be elected next Tuesday as the nation’s first female president. Trump, meanwhile, was on a tour of rural areas, hoping to boost turnout among the voters drawn to his promise to bring back a lost America. He started his day in Atkinson, New Hampshire, population 6,800 and almost 98 per cent white, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. From there, he was bound for Wilmington, Ohio, another overwhelmingly white town where just 13 per cent of residents have a college degree. Speaking more than 2,000 miles from the Mex-

ican border, Trump drew loud cheers in Atkinson when he vowed to build a massive wall between the U.S. and Mexico. The crowd booed when he contended that Clinton supports “open borders.” “Her plans would mean generations of terrorism, extremism and radicalism spreading into your schools and through your communities,” Trump declared. In spite of a close race in national polling, Trump’s path to victory remains narrow. His campaign is increasingly looking to make up for losses among suburban voters, particularly women, by wrestling up new voters in out-of-the-way places. The candidates’ divergent paths highlighted the yawning gaps between race, place and economics that drive presidential policies. Trump told his largely white audience in Atkinson that “we have to rebuild our country.” “They’ve shipped our jobs and they’ve shipped our wealth to other countries,” he said. “To all Americans, I say it is time for new leadership.” Trump’s dark views on the economy clashed with a new jobs report showing the unemployment rate declined to 4.9 per cent while wages went up in October. The report marks 73 straight months of job growth. But the Republican said the numbers weren’t good enough, and he cast doubt on whether they were accurate. “These numbers are an absolute disaster,” Trump said, reviving his argument that the unemployment numbers released every month by the Labor Department are skewed because they don’t accurately account for those who’ve dropped out of the workforce. “Nobody believes the numbers they’re reporting anyway,” he said.

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish authorities on Friday detained 12 pro-Kurdish members of Parliament for questioning in terror-related probes, drawing sharp concern from the United States and the European Union, who feared the move hurts Turkey’s democracy. A car bombing later hit Turkey’s largest Kurdish city, killing nine people. Authorities blamed the attack on Kurdish militants but the Islamic State group later claimed responsibility. The co-chairs of the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party, or HDP, were among those rounded up in the middle of the night. Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag were ordered held in custody pending trial on terror-related charges along with seven other legislators. The courts released three others on condition they report regularly to authorities. The private Dogan News Agency said the two were taken to a maximum security prison in the northwestern city of Kocaeli. The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, expressed concern about the arrests on Twitter, saying she had called a meeting of EU ambassadors in Ankara. Governments in Norway, Sweden and Demark summoned their Turkish ambassadors to explain the arrests. In Washington, both the White House and the U.S. State Department expressed concern over the detentions. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the government was “deeply disturbed” by the arrests, warning that suppressing fundamental freedoms was not an antidote to terrorism.

Attorney: Chelsea Manning again attempts suicide in prison KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chelsea Manning attempted suicide for the second time in recent months while the transgender soldier remains imprisoned in Kansas for leaking classified information, two of her attorneys said Friday. Attorneys Vincent Ward and Chase Strangio declined to divulge details of Manning’s suicide attempt last month at a military prison at Kansas’ Fort Leavenworth. Wayne Hall, an Army spokesman, said medical privacy laws barred him from discussing the matter. But Manning’s attorneys cited her prison conditions — including the solitary confinement that her legal team says she received as punishment for her July suicide attempt — as contributing to their client’s fragile mental state. Strangio, in an email to The Associated Press, called her treatment since her 2010 arrest and subsequent time serving a 35-year sentence “demoralizing and destabilizing assaults on her health and humanity.” “After her July suicide attempt, I watched her begin to piece her life and spirit back together only to have that shattered by the disciplinary proceedings brought against her and then the unannounced initiation of her term of punishment last month,” Strangio wrote. “She has repeatedly been punished for trying to survive and now is being repeatedly punished for trying to die.” Strangio added he worries about Manning’s “ability to keep fighting under these relentless abuses.” Manning, arrested in 2010 as Bradley Manning, was convicted in 2013 in military court of leaking more than 700,000 secret military and State Department documents to WikiLeaks. Manning was an intelligence analyst in Iraq at the time.

RELATIONSHIPS

Parents of the bride: We request your royal presence

Dear Annie: My parents split up 20 years ago, and my dad has never stayed in great contact. I’m now engaged, and my fiance and I are designing the invitations. He thinks we should follow the standard wedding invitation wording, with my parents’ names listed at the top: “Mr. and Mrs. X would like you to celebrate the marriage,” etc. Well, first off, they Annie have two different last names, so it would have to be “Mr. X and Ms. Y.” Lane But secondly, it all just seems so formal and stuffy to me. We’ve agreed we want our wedding to be a more down-to-earth celebration. What do you think? — Modern Bride Dear Modern: Following the trend in recent years toward less formal weddings, it’s fairly common for invitations to simply state “Please join us to celebrate the marriage of (bride) and (groom),” without mentioning parents at all. You can find examples of that style online. Best wishes to you both. Dear Annie: I read with interest a letter you recently published about hearing loss. The letter writer suggested contacting the Hearing Loss Association of America for more information. I am a senior citizen with substantial high-frequency

hearing loss, for which I have used hearing aids for several years. With the aging of the population, such hearing loss can be expected to become more common. When I watch TV, the aids help some, and a wireless speaker by my chair helps some more. However, there are programs with which the speakers are not comprehensible. News programs, on which it’s usually the case that one person speaks directly to the audience, are no problem, but talk shows, on which it’s common for several speakers to try to speak at once, and dramatic programs on which the actors mumble to sound “natural” and there is considerable background noise are difficult to understand. Even my wife, who has normal hearing, sometimes asks, “What did they say?” TV shows and movies have ratings and awards for the best and worst show in a variety of categories. I would like to suggest that they be rated for their audibility. Such ratings should encourage producers to pay more attention to how well the speech in their programs can be understood. Perhaps you, your readers and the Hearing Loss Association of America could promote the development of such ratings. — Could You Repeat That? Dear Repeat: I agree that it’s frustrating when multiple people talk at once, an annoying trend on

modern talk shows. Do you use closed captioning? According to the Federal Communications Commission, “Congress requires video programming distributors — cable operators, broadcasters, satellite distributors and other multi-channel video programming distributors — to close caption their TV programs.” Look for the option on your TV remote, or call your cable provider for assistance. Dear Annie: Recently, you published a letter from a gentleman who does not like servers asking him whether he wants change. A few days later, I was in a restaurant, and a woman at the next table was settling her bill. When the server came back to get her payment — and before the server said anything — the woman handed the server the check and her cash and, with a big smile, said to the server, “No need to bring any change.” What a remarkably simple way to handle this! Conversely, if the diner does want change, he can hand the server his money and say, “Please bring me change.” Sometimes being a little proactive can make a world of difference. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

HEALTH

Don’t blame patients only for breeding ‘superbugs’ as well as some multinationals — has been studied for a decade by researchers from the University of Gothenborg in Sweden, who have consistently documented far higher-than-normal levels of drug-resistant pathogens in the water. The companies insist that they follow all relevant environmental regulations and don’t discharge waste into the lake or other water bodies. The studies find that pathogens appear to be interacting and developing in unexpected directions, and could transfer their drug resistance to, for example, E. coli. India, of course, is one of the most unsanitary countries in the world and E. coli is everywhere — in 92 percent of Mumbai’s ice cubes, for one. Most strains are already resistant to various antibiotics. The threat from antibiotic resistance should

scare us all. We take so much of the post-penicillin world for granted, including the simple assumption that one’s likely to recover from a simple surgery. The stakes for India are even higher; some studies have suggested that 58,000 Indian babies die every year because of newly drug-resistant diseases. One study of a particular common pathogen in an Indian hospital found that about seven percent of the specimens were resistant to even the latest antibiotics. For awhile it looked like the Indian government was taking the matter seriously. A commission was set up in 2011 which duly produced a report on how to contain the growth of anti-microbial resistance. Yet too little has changed since. Antibiotics are still readily available over the counter, and people still self-medicate.

ere’s a terrifying thought: A toxic stew of corporate neglect, lax regulators and a defensive government might be turning India’s water bodies into breeding grounds for drug-resistant “superbugs.” This, certainly, is what a series of recent reports and studies have suggested. And the Indian government’s response to the reports won’t set many minds at rest. Consider the southern Indian city of Hyderabad, known as much for its lakes as for its cutting-edge IT and biotech companies. According to Reuters, Kazhipally Lake near Hyderabad has become “a giant petri dish for anti-microbial resistance.” The lake — close to manufacturing facilities for hundreds of Indian companies making generic drugs,

ENVIRONMENT

Border walls are nothing but bad for wildlife respond to multiple requests for comment on the proposed wall’s potential impact on wildlife. Two recent studies have shed light on the often-overlooked effect walls have on wildlife. The fences can “curtail animals’ mobility, fragment populations and cause direct mortality,” according to an article published last month in Review of European, Comparative & International Environmental Law. Authors of another study, released earlier this year in the journal PLoS Biology, write that barriers “represent a major threat to wildlife.” The latter study focused on Slovenia, which has for about a year been fencing its border with Croatia in an attempt to block an influx of refugees that the government fears could morph into an outright “humanitarian catastrophe.” So far, 179 km of barbed- and razor-wire fencing have been erected along about one-third of the frontier. A slew of mangled animal carcasses — especially deer — have been found in, on or around the so-called “temporary technical obstacles.” “These events are horrid,” said co-author Aleksandra Majic, a biologist at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. But, she added, “what is worrying in the long-term is the fragmentation that such fences cause.” Slaven Reljic, another co-author, tracks brown bears along the Slovenia-Croatia border and has found that of 33 radio collared animals, 16 cross between the two countries. Majic said she has observed similar movements among wolves.

“Conservation success for large carnivore populations here is largely depending on this trans-boundary connectivity,” she said, adding that lynx along the border are most at risk. The population hovers at around a mere 20 animals and is in danger of local extinction within the next decade, said Majic, adding that “habitat fragmentation would speed up this process.” Barriers are hardly new, of course. Construction on the Great Wall of China began in the 3rd century B.C.E, and it still splits habitats today. The Berlin Wall divided East and West Germany throughout the Cold War. When that fell in 1989, triggering the figurative collapse of the Iron Curtain, people began moving and trading en masse across increasingly porous European borders. Wildlife, biologists documented, also reaped rewards. That quickly ended. Today, the number of barriers around the world is at an all-time high, said Elisabeth Vallet, author of Borders, Fences and Walls: State of Insecurity? Although the flood of displaced people into Europe and illegal immigration to the United States have contributed to that surge, Vallet points to the late 1990s, when rapid globalization helped revive nationalist sentiment, as the beginning of the proliferation. The 9/11 terrorist attacks drastically accelerated the trend and, by 2010, her research found, 45 new walls had gone up, from Morocco to India, totaling 28,968 km in length.

Within a year, though, the barrier had snared five giraffes, one elephant, several antelopes and numerous other wild animals. In the 20 years since, border barriers have proliferated to unprecedented levels — and become one of presidential candidate Donald J. Trump’s favorite talking points. But while attention has focused on the human consequences of a more bordered world, the impact on wildlife is also dramatic. Trump has proposed sealing off the U.S.-Mexico frontier with a “great” expansion of the current wall, which spans roughly 1,046 km of America’s 3,218-km southern front and is already harming animals. Bison along that border have been spotted climbing over barbed-wire fencing to get to food and water. And according to a 2011 study, 16 species in California have had as much as 75 per cent of their range blocked. “Completing a barrier that’s impregnable for animals would be a really major problem,” said Jesse Lasky, a biologist at Pennsylvania State University and author of that study. The move could affect more than 111 endangered species and 108 migratory birds, according to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife provisional report. The Trump campaign did not
